JOHN HA RNIAN, Chairman. THOMAS WOOD, Secretary. l ' c 'Tnion and Brighton Railway Office, 10, Angel "urt, Throgmorton-street, Jan. 6, Is4l. LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUAIIY 23, 1841. No. 15,095. PRICE sd. CITY OF LONDON. COMMERCIAL CLUB. TO the Worshipful the MAGISTRATES acting in and for the DIVISION of MIDDLETON. in the County of LANCASTER, in PETTY SESSION assembled at the Flying Horse Inn, in Rochdale, within the said County. The Memorial of the Overseers and Select Vestries of the Townships of Butterworth, Castleton, Spotland, Wuerdle and Wardle, and Wardleworth, in Meeting assembled, at Tweedale's Hotel, Rochdale, January 1, IS-11. Humbly show eth— That since the very heavy increase of the County-rite, mainly occasioned by the introduction of the new constabulary force, the Overseers and Collectors of these Townships have found the greatest difficulties in collecting the Poors-rate, so as to meet the various demands upon it. That the Ratepayers are serious sufferers from this additional tax, which, if persevered in, will involve in ruin many indus trious families. PUBLICATIO . NS. . the working classes, and then denying it, the whole whole thing is a fiction. The Liberal party has always been divided on this point. What the Government promised, they both promised and bestowed by the Reform Bill. What. the friends of a more extended suffrage promised they► have ever given, and still con tinue to give, viz,, thenli k own untiring advocacy of such extension. The pretended friendship of the Tories for the working classes has only shown itself in undevi ating opposition to their political emancipation. They allow the fact, and call on statesmen to mark it, " that among large bodies of the English working people there exists a feeling of strong discontent with the present distribution of the elective franchise." But toward cravings for political rights, the Tories have no bowels of compassion. If the working people do really desire to pay a little mere for their loaves, that is almost the only desire. of which the Tories will help them to secure the gratification. The same authority which supports and magnifies the bread-denying wish of the working classes, is very severe upon the ten-pound householders for joining is " the base and Sordid cry" for cheap bread. " These, taking them as a class, arc the worst set of Englishmen in existence ; the least honest, the least generous, the most sordid, the most self-indulgent, the most irreligious ;" and ail because they do not desire to pay a little more for their loaves, or to elect bread-tax candidates like Mr. .1. Gladstone at Walsall. Has any news from that 'quarter made the Post so angry just now with the ten-pound house holders? The boasted prospects of Toryism must be clouded over by the admitted fact that town consti tuencies are against them on what will henceforth be the great hustings question of Corn-law repeal. Where is the " re-action,': we wonder, Has it "made itself air ?" Melancholy is the end it has come to in this outrageous diatribe against the whole class of ten-pound householders. Melancholy is the dilemma of Tore ism, with its town majority of voters in posse, whom it is determined not to make voters in me. And most for lorn of all is the hope that can nourish itself on no more plausible pretext than the desperate one that "the working people would rather pay a little more for their loaves."

And your Memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray. Signed on behalf of the Meeting, SAMUEL STA NDRING,.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM ( T v ii r E om DA th lL: A P l A Dr r n E i ß ng S O c F Iir YESTERDAY.) We were somewhat startled on Wednesday last by for their ,thatish wishes ande fessed organ of the working pr s e t fe il i n e g nees as decidedly as any god vifa.htliletrthaet tih,oestfopnrto.m;apeady inaclasses, and was answering than see thousands of their con e ntr m y e m r e e n p the e e p landl e wouldo of England i t i l t i t e i ir name. ' The working more startling , was it to see for wii o their wo rk loaves g m ot w o i l l i i e n a g p p er or f t ro h m ave P in ol a a ( n ie d rather turned adrift n because corn could be the singularity of its ungary." Unless the a h e e m i r o ost assump tion,uintevtaerdranftablehmueleation to the public, itself, arc alike remarka a b e le l l r working people, who would rath s e e that T e h ofe generalitytide o t is o e f communica tionetnlhe.it l ittle .at r e n!re for their loaves, can never be sufficiently appreciated. is so kind in them to make this sacri y fic a e ll hedoseneraernlyts s t ationary , or doubled, o r have deteriorated. h Fo r r ee t l he dsake It whilewegeos l h a a n v d e l o r r e d a s i , ,, i w a It i 3 so self denying to relinquish ' a portion of t food, and that of their wives and children, theart own proceeds of the bread tax ma) remain intact for the pro prietors of the soil. It is so magnanimous to uphold the restrictions upon those employments from which their means of subsistence are derived ; and to exclaim, " Perish commerce, so that the squirearchy thrive ; we had rather pay a little more for our 'Dates I" But the " thousands who work upon the land of England turned adrift ;" there is thapprehension of e the opera tives of the Post. The fear is • very groundless. In the first place, so long as th ere are millions of acres of uncultivated but not unfruitful land, which would yield food for toil, none can be turned adrift but by inhumanity in the prnprietors. Next, consider ing how many thooeands of the surplus rural popu lation have been Welded for in the manufacturing towns, there can be no reasonable doubt filet the sti mulus given by free trade would provide for many thotisands more, without so much competition as at the present moment. And further, the growing wealth and numbers of the home buyers of corn would surely en able its producers to keep pace with the foreigner and realise fair profits. The wastefulness of the Corn law 45tem leases ample room for both classes to be gainces. The o peratives of the Post may therefore forego their hypothetical sympathy for the hypothetical drifting of their countrymen, and harden themselves, if they eae, to the non -necessity of paying a little more for their loaeee. The Poet frankly tells its new clients that Toryism is opposed " to such an eettensi on o f t h e fran ohise as will reach them." One reason assigned for this hostility is that, although the working classes are far higher " in respect of moral and intellectual qualifica tion" than the 101, householders, yet their " knowledge" is too " limited" for the franchise. Whether the alleged desire of the working people to pay a little more for their loaves be intended to prove them superior in wis dom to the present constituency, or to prove them not wise enough for voters, does not clearly appear. Per hapt it wet meant for evidence of both propositions. It would be difficult to say which class is most flattered by the argument. Our own experience has n o where de tected the desire of paying a little more for the loaf, thus authentically recorded by our Contemporary. Where are the working people who feel it so strongly ? Arc they amongst the hand loom weavers ? Or are they farm labourers, sweating for Bs. a week on the Duke of Buckingham's domains? Shall we meet with them in Spitalfields ? Is it for this purpose that wretched and ragged processions are formed ? Or has our Contempo:ary, by his ingenuity, converted the mil lion and half who last year petitioned for the abolition of the Coro-laws ? We wish the gentle Post would tell us where these starving aspirants for dearer bread live and work ? Wee should like to see them, wer e it only for the curiosity of the thing. In this same ar ticle it is maintained that the working classes ought not to have the franchise, and )et that they are . wronged" by the Whig Radicals in not bestoPing it upon them. According:to such logic, the refusal and the bestowment must be boa, a rung. The palpable c ,, ausiou of right nod wrong is chara cteristic of Tory moraiity. As to the I charge of cheating, by first promising th e suffrage to ( From the Globe.) Smuggling and Poaching are, in point of prieciple, nearly the same. In either case the law is violated— the revenue is defrauded. There is this difference, however, in aggravation of the offence of the poacher— that he steals, in the first instance, what he afterwards sells illegally ; whereas, in the other ease, the crime consists only in attempting to evade the duty upon a commodity of which the proprietor may have become lawfully possessed. In the characters of the two parties, assuming them to be proficients in their calling, there are likewise some shades of difference: The smuggler usually obtains credit for bravery ,and generosity ; the poacher is essentially mean, cowardly, and vin dictive. We have heard occasionally of a revenue officer being assassinated wish apparent premedita tion, but the event is one of rare occnrrence—and it is only when assailed and in danger of being captured that the smuggler displays the real desperation of his cha racter. Not so with the other class of offenders. Their murderous exploits are far more deliberate and more fre quent. They seem now rather to invite than to skim the assault, And being provided with arms, while their adver saries are unarmed, they have no difficulty in accomplishing their purposes, however savage and diabolical they may be. In some instances, confident in their numerical strength, they await the approach of their pursuers, and bid them defiance, or kindly intimate an intention to deal with them in a summary way, unless they make a speedy retreat. S 3 far they are entitled to great credit for lenity and forbearance. But at other times they are less scrupulous. They commence the work of plunder with a determination not to be,opposed of taken alive ; they even anticipate the awful conflict with a spi rit of calm and deliberate vengeance ; and the tempta tion to shoot a gamekeeper .is as irresistible to them as that which is presented by the opportunity of killing a hare or a pheasant. Now, we beg it to be clearly understood that we are no apologists for either of these classes of adventurers. We wish the law to be respected. We are anxious to see its penal!ics enforced whenever it is violated. We lament that it should ever become a dead letter, or be treated with derision and contempt. Still more do we grieve when the law is not only abused, but actually holds cut inducements and facilities to those who are so dispoeed, to defeat its ends, and to violate its enactments. Such, we conceive, to be the character and tendency of the law now in force relative to game ; and we have put the above case in a strong light, that we may show the absurdity and inconsistency of this legislative measure. ( From the Standard ) Mr. O'Connell's mission to Ulster has proved a failure, as all who know the noble spirit of that Protes tant part of Ireland must have expected it would prove ; but this, though it adds to our confidence in the reconquest of Ireland—indeed we never doubted the ability of the I:ish Protestants or their determine- Lion to preserve the British connection—the failure of Mr. O'Connell in Ulster, though it proves the Irish Protestants to be still what they have ever shown themselves, affords no ground of security that the repeal sedition may not, or rather must not, lead to a sanguinary civil war, if not checked while there still exists the opportunity to check it. The Ulster men are satisfied with the union. There is no doubt about that, but are they satisfied that war and blood shed, and all their attendant miseries shall be brought to their doors—are they satisfied that the task of reconquering Ireland shall once more devolve upon them and their Protestant brethren throughout the island, with an, expense of the blood of half their kindred and' of more than half their pro perty ? If they are satisfied with this, they are just the men to speak their minds, and we shall soon hear from them : meanwhile Lord Melbourne may put the question. Ulster is, however, only one province of Ireland, and what does Mr. O'Connell say of the other three? Why, that they are" thoroughly organised for repeal." We find that the Ministerial Journals main tain still a strict silence as to the probable introduction of this topic into the Royal Speech ; at present it must be superfluoui to say more upon the subject, but we trust that the public will not lose sight of the matter. (From the Courier.) _ . We have been infinitely diverted at the tone the Ministerial Journals have assumed with regard to the approaching Canterbury election. If Mr. Smythe be not the most modest man upon earth, he must assuredly feel not a little elated by the unwilling compliments which his Lid and eloquent speech, and frank, straightforward, and chivalrous bearing at Canterbury have exacted from the scribes who it is the custom to think are in the Downing-street interest. We say, " the custom to think," because, when we reflect that the virulent attacks on Lord Strangford—the deep and recondite allusions to the times of Queen Bess, the virtues!® indignation lavished on Mr. Smythe's grand mother's pension (the reversion of which he has had the impudence to give up) and the doubting sneers at the heart-stirring profession of his hereditary loyalty, have all bet one end—the return of Mr. Henniker Wilson, and then turn our attention to that gentleman's profes sion of political faith, we are in candour compelled to admit, that to single-minded men Mr. Wilson anti his newspaper advocates would seem to have little in common with the dii majores of Downing-street. The principles of Mr. Wilson are not the principles of Viscount Melbourne ; they are not those of Lord John Russell, nor yet of Lord Palmerston ; but whet of that " The man may vote atj4lt:q the Corn-laws ; sneer at Finality,' and &amour for due Ballot, and still be a very honest, and, what is better, a vet y much-to-be-depended-on sup porter of our Administration;." "'Lee it ee lac/I/yew ;" hence the abuse of Mr. Smythe and his ancestors up to the days of uecn Bess (by the way, why did not the worthy gentleman glee Sir Philip Sydney a turn 9) Mr. Wilson may be " mad" in the opinion of Lord Melbourne, and 6' go too far " for Lord John Rus sell, Lint he will, like all his tribe, vote to keep the Whigs in, and the Tories out, and so he is to be re turned (?)a5 the Ministerial member for the metropolitan city of Canterbitry !

TIIE NEW ROMANCE OF THE " IVANHOE" ScitooL.--The period of the stirring and effective romance of " Longbeard," observes the Literaty Gazette, is that of the captivity of Richard Coeur de Lion after his famous crusade, and the scene varies from-Lrtiaon to the ssild woods in Kent. Longbeard is the - London loader, and his brother, Bryan Fi!zosbert, a-Robin flood of the Kentish foresters. The anomalous condition of F, ,, glish society at the time offors a tit field fur strange adventures and all the machinery of,.4uccessful romance. Of these our author has niadq,srue use, so as to combine a picture of the " Ivanhoe" and merry Sherwood school. If characters forcibly and distinctly drawn, and employed in circum stances which carry along the interest in them and in the stary, constitute the promising component a of a good ro mance, " Longbeard, Lord of London," is well entitled to the distinction. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.- About 170 masons arc daily engaged at the new houses of Parliament, and there are about 100 other workmen in full occupation. The works are progressing rapidly. The average height of all the walls is now about fifteen feet, and they already present a striking appearance when viewed from the river. Mr. Barry, the architect, pays, it is said, the closest attention to all the works, which are, for the most part, executed under his personal superinten idence. (THURSDAY EVENING.) CHRONICLE.—When Mr. Hume, in the month of July, 1839. moved for the appointment of a Se lect Committee to inquire into the pecuniary trans. actions of the Bank of England since 1819, and how far these transactions had been connected with the crisis in the Money Market of 1825-6 and 1836-7, the Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the motion, upon the ground that it was impossible to bring any such inquiry to a satisfactory issue at that advanced period of the session, and because it was inexpedient to enter upon it when the exchanges were unfavourable ; but he at the tame time observed, that " the time might come when, previous to making any change in our banking sys tem, a searching inquiry ought to be made into the whole question of the manner in which the Bank of England has managed the monetary hffairs of the country, and on what terms It might be proper to renew the engagements of the • country with the Bank." That time has come. A Committee of the House of Commons has made considerable progress in the inquiry. They have reported a volume of most impoitatit evidence, showing that the " perpetual ups and downs," as Mr. Hume expressed it, and the continual fluctuations to which commerce has been exposed since the year 183 9 , have been chiefly produced by a deviation on the part of the Bank from those principles of management recom mended by the Committee of that ;oar, as the rule of con duct upon which the monetary system of the country should be regulated. We can scarcely believe, therefore, that the Government have compromised themselves by agreeing on terms with the Bank Directors, so as to stifle further examination, and to put an end to the proceedings of the Committee, before they have been able to get through even one branch of the subject, and before the conduct of the joint-stork and private banks has been ex amined. Such, however, may be the case ; for Lord Althorp, after appointing the Committee of 1832, came forward in 1833 to announce that it would be unnecessary to continue the Committee, as he intended to lay spe cific resolutions before the House, but the precedent would not justify a similar course of procedure. The dereliction of principle exhibited by the Directors of the Bank in 1835.6, and in 1839, after the defi cient harvest of 1838, have caused a most important change of circumstances, and given the public a most unequivocal right to insist for a full and unrestricted inves tigation before the charter is again. renewed, to protect society from a recurrence of such fatal management ; and much as we should bail the acknowledgment of the prin ciple of Crown interference and perfect publicity of ac counts being engrafted upon the constitution of the Bank of England, borrowed from that of the Bank of France, the country would have just cause of complaint if any bargain were now patched up of that description between the Bank and the Government. Mr. Clay, the Honour able Member for the Tower Hamlets, now a member of the Government, observed in the course of his speech in 1839, that " the public were beginning to feel that a function so important as that of taking care of the currency, on the right discharge of which not only the prosperity of the country at large, but the fortune of every individual, it might be said, in a great degree depended, ought not to be left to any body of men, but ought to be left to the control of the suprime authorities. Whatever benefit or advantage there o ttatht be accruing from the substitution of paper for gad as a currency ought to belong to the people." That feeling has greatly increased since Mr. Clay delivered his speech ; the publication of the evidence of the Committee has caused it to take deep rout in the public mind. It is sup ported by men of great experience as bankers and mer chants, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer may find himself awkwardly situated if he should have allowed himself to be cajoled into any premature arrangement by the friendly accommodation of the Bank parlour. The prevalent feeling is that the duties of the Directors to their proprietors is so directly at variance with their obligations to the public, that it is impossible for them to discharge with fidelity their great public duty of regulating the cur rency of the country. The regulation of currency, as stated by the Honourable Member for Leicester, " ought to be entrusted to men who had nothing else to do ; the managers of the currency ought to have no other duty to discharge ; they ought to be responsible to the public, and to the public alone." He wished to see a clear and faithful publication of the condition of the Bank. He wished to see every merchant who would take the puns able to watch the amount of bullion in the Bank as easily as the time by the clock. Those opinions find advocates in every quarter of the country, and it would be an unwise policy to disappoint the expectations of the pub lic by telling them that the matter was settled, and that the Government thought differently. But, nevertheless, if we could obtain perfectly publicity, if the accounts of the Bank of England were as free from mystery as those of the Bank of France, so that the Directors could answer strangers in the same words as the Governor of that Insti tution answered Mc. Home, " Our house is a house of , glass ; every man may see our transactions,"—a material step would Le gained for the public good. At present the Bank of England is too much a house of paper ; and its transactions arc nearly as secret from the public As the decrees of the famous Council of Venice, The transactions of the Bank of France are printed every day, and returns made to the Treasury. A half-yearly account of their actual operations is published every six months, and a complete balance sheet every year is exhibited of their whole affairs. The greatest confidence in the operations of the B ink accordingly exists in France. Then the Governor and Deputy Governors are appointed by the Crown, and the offices are of 'a permanent char acter. This brings us back to the principle of Crown in terference and Parliamentary control, and we arc for the adoption of that principle to the fullest extent. We ac knowledge the difficulties nhich present themselves in striking the: line ; and that it may be necessary to pro ceed at first with caution ; but this only proves the ne cessity of full and deliberate inquiry before coming to a conclusion. An idea has been started of subjecting the transactions of the Bank to the ordeal of the Crown Inspectors ; all so far good in its way ; but the mere right of inspection, without the power of control, would be little better than nomimal. The principle of Crown interference must go beyond that point a long way, otherwise it will be of small benefit to the people. A system, however, of Crown inspection, if car ried out as a principle, so as to include all banks of issue, might have a very salutary effect. Supposing that the charter of the Bank of England is to be renewed, under the modifications to which we have alluded, and that the lccal and country issues are also allowed to continua on their existing basis, the appointment of Government in spectors would be the means of compelling the whole to act in harmony, to avoid over issues, and, of consequence, sudden contractions, and thus obtain greater steadiness of prices. Yesterday we passed some rather severe strictures upon the avowed principles of the leaders of the country banks and joint-stock establishments, in respect of their refusal to regulate their issues by the exchanges and the bullion in the Bank—a question of deep importance to the future prosperity of the country, and one which ought to be provided for by legislative means. All banks of issue ought to be subjected to the same whole some principle of regulating their issues, and the periodical publication of their assets and liabilities should also be enforced. By these means, and the agency of Government inspectors, much good might be done. 'We have grave doubts whether the leading joint stock bankers really believe the doctrines which they preach. We are persuaded, at least, that they will soon become sensible of their fallacy, at present they are elated with success, and finding their power and influence ra pidly increasing, they see no bounds to the spread of their dominion. Thus they are bold enough to grasp at the monopoly of the entire circulation of the country, under the guise of " free banking and competing issues." It is a vain imagination ; they should be wise in time, lest in trying for too much, and in attempting to catch the sha dow they loose the substance. They must recollect that success is not always a test of merit, and be contented with the profits of their legitimate position. The country is sen • Bible of the advantages of their system. They know the additional security afforded there by a large proprietary but they are not blind to the imperfections of the, system. It is faulty in many respects to which we have alluded on former occasions, and need not now repeat far ther than this, that their deeds of settlement ought to be subjected ti the inspection of a public officer ; that all establishments issuing paper money ought to have a certain amount of paid up capital before commencing operations ; and that lists of their partners should be furnished to the Stamp-office, and published in the Gazette. We desire to do even-handed justice to all, preferring, as public jour nalists, the rights of the people to those of any class of dividuals. While, therefore, we have opposed the system of private issues, we must give the joint- stock and private banks the benefit afforded by the state of their circulation compared with the l3ank of England, from 1i.;34 to 1839, as exhibited by the returns read to the House of Commons by Mr. Hume. The circulation and deposits of the Bank of England on the Ist of July, 1834, were -£33,991, 000 On the 18th of December ditto £3,425, 000 A decrease of On the 2Stit July, 1835 £29,883,000 And on the 15th of I) , .xember ditto ...........• 35,05-0,000 An increase of ............... £5,167,000 On the Bth of :\larcl), 1836 £3 4 .705 OGO On the ljth of November ditto A decrease of I:4,180,00o On the Lit of May , 1838 On the 25th of June, 1 e 39 ... 25,663,000 A decrease of £4,422,000 We have taken these figures from the returns in the ap pendix to the report. On com p ari ng - them wi t h t h ose given in the report o f Mr. flume's spee c h, b y ' lanyard, we find some discrepancies. Mr. Hume, for instance, makes a decrease as at the 16th of December, 1834, of 6000,000/., instead of 3,425,0001., but the Honourable Member was speaking in round numbers, and the exact results are as we have stated them. Their fluctuations, contrasted with the operations of the private and joint stock banks during the same period of time, tell very strongly in favour of the latter, as the greatest variation in their circulation was from 10,152,1041. to 12,259,467 1 ., or 2,107,3631., according to the Gazette returns; but then the returns of the Bang of kingland, as given by 'lr. ilium; included deposits, whi_ joint-stuciebanks include the notes in et_ The last number of the Edinburgh Revicul lone. , two able trticles, generally passed over, under the denctriluation of " Heavies," because they happen to exhibit if startling array of figures. The first of these is headed " Wrongs and Claims of Indian Commerce;" the second, w Cus. tom Duties—Effect of th e P ro t ec ti v e System ;" and , t hey contain much valuable inf or m a ti on o f a fi n ancial and fiKs4t character, inte res ti ng t o t h ose engage d i n tra d e an d corn.. coerce, and instructive to all classes of society. The first is founded chiefly on the report and evidence taken before the late Select Committee in the House of Lords; and the second on the report and evidence on import duties by the Select Committee in House of Commons. So much has been said already, and extracted in the news papers from both of these important parliamentary papers,, that it may appear superfluous to make them the subject at present of fresh remarks. We find, however, so much of the essentially useful parts condensed in these articles of the Review, and placed in such a practical and popular form, that we cannot refrain from transferring a portion to our columns. It is stated that the East India Cempany annually draw a sum of about 3,400,000/. from the revenues of the:territoriesjwhish they :administer, applied to the home expenditure, the whole of which, with the exception of a fraction remitted. in payment of military stores, is a direct and substantial transfer from the income of India to that of England. Be sides which, the remittances on account of private fortunes average fully 600,000/ , so that the gross amount of public and private remittances from India, for which this country makes no return, is not much, if at all, over estimated a; 4,000,0001. per annum, equal to the purchase of our ma nufactures to the value of 20,000,000/. per annum, over and above :which India took, in the three years ending in 183 S, British manufactures to the value of 3,817,0002 per annum; The high import duties charged on spirits made from the Indian sugar-cane, in comparison with those levied on epirits the produce of, and im ported from, any British possession in the West Indies, America, or the Mauritius, are discussed, and are shown to have shut out Eastjlndia rum entirely from the home market. We have the following facts as regards the eff ct of the breaking up of the slavery system on West India sugar. The s ugar i mpor t e d i n t o this country from the Wee India colonies in 1839 was less by more than 1,200 oeo cwts. than the average of the five years ending with 1832; and less by nearly 500,000 ewts. than the im ports of 1837, which again were considerably smaller than those of any year since 1814. The report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords laid down, as a general principle, that commercial regulations affecting the intercourse between the mother country and the colonial dependencies should be one of perfect equality, but found that the " state of transition" in which our colonies were placed by the abolition of slavery, made it inexpedient to apply the principle of equality. In that opinion the public, we believe, coincides, and the high price paid for our colonial sugars to the exclusion of the slave grown, in addition to the purchase price of 20,000,000/. compensation money, affords abundant evidence of the sacrifices which the people of th's country cheerfully suffer to free the nation from the stain of slavery. The Reviewer, bowever,:as an advocate for India, shows very forcibly that British India is also in a state of transition, by the decay of native manufactures, and especially of her cotton. The cotton fabrics of E. g land are admitted into India at 3} per cent. duty, whi'c the produc s of the rude industry of India rre charged in Great Bri'a'n a duty of 10 per cent. The Decca muslins are also annihilated, and the silk trade is falling away rapidly. The article on Custom duties reminds us that sevent een art'eles yield nearly the whole of the Custom duties. Out of a schedule of 1,150 articles, producing 22 962,6101., seventeen articles produced 21,700,630/. in the year 1839, demonstrating, as remarked by Sir Henry Parnell in 1829, that oar Custom duties have been framed by persons Lut little acquainted with the principles of trade and finance, without the slightest consideration for the feelings and convenience of individuals, or for the increase of foreign commerce. Mr. M'Gregor justly says, that as a few articles pay nearly the whole revenue, the duties on all others are nothing but burdens, restrictions, and delays on the industry and prosperity of the country. He has accordingly prepared a new table of tariff duties, reducing the whole to twenty articles, the adoption of which would lead to great simplification in carrying on the business of the Customs department, and to a considerable diminution of charge in the collection. By tracing the effect of the present protective duties on each and various articles of consumption, it is shown that no less than a fourth of every man's expenditure is paid to uphold an unsound and anti commercial system, which generates' in every instance a greater or less degree of indirect taxation of no avail to the Treasury, and by which the revenue suffers a loss of nearly 6,000,000/. a year. The taxation imposed upon the country by the duties on corn provisions and protec tions is far greater, in fact, than the amount of taxation paid to the Treasury. It is most justly remarked that such a state of things having been allowed to grow up is to be attributed " to the ignorance of the community" with respect to all sub jects connected with their wants and the circumstances that affect prices. There is not. probably, one man in ten thousand who is sufficiently informed to know that a pro tecting duty raises price: and that this additional price is a tax as much as that on houses is a tax. Those who aro interested in maintaining the present system have induced all tho rest of the community to believe that in paying some forty or fifty millions: a year for the commodities they consume more than they need to have paid, they have been all the while adding to the wealth, power, and pro sperity of the nation. The working classes should be in structed by the spread of that really ;useful knowledge which explains to them the causes by which they are com pelled to pay exorbitant prices for the necessaries of life. POST.—It turns out that the failure noticed by us yes terday, namely, that of Messrs. Garry and Curtis, is but a very inconsiderable one. The friends of Mr. Garry, who is the inmate of a lunatic asylum, are understood to have been prcsing upon Mr. Curtis the settlement of a claim on behalf of that gentleman, which the circumstances of the house would not fairly admit of. Proceedings have been taken in the Court of Chancery for the accomplish ment of the olject, and the immediate cause of the stop page is said to be the determination of the other partner that no undue preference should be given. Ia the absence of an adequate amount of funds to meet the claims of the creditors of the firm, the representatives of Mr. Garry can of course have no right to 'appropriate a farthing of the assets. Whatever excitement was produced by the an nouncement of the failure in the first instance has already died comiletely away. Another case of suspension was talked of yesterday, but it was so petty an affair that we purposely refrained front makieg any mention of it ourselves. The party arc in the wine trade, and their liabilities may, it is considered, reach some sir. thousand pounds. There would Le no necessity for noticing the matter at all but that it hts found its way into the columns of some of our Contemporaries, and that without explanation its importance might be magnified, The tea market has assumed, since the news was re ceived in England of the probable adjustment of out dis pute with China, an appearance that attracts the serious at tentiou of the general merchant, as well as those immedi ately engeged in the trade. It will be recollected that in the spring of 1830, immediately preceding the quarrel at Canton, the prices of common congou teas were Is, to ls. 2d. per lb. From this they advanced somewhat rapidly to 3e. 2d., the highest point in February or March, 1840; and it is almost needless to state that during the ad vance large and numerous speculators were constantly in the market, the opinion entertained being, that no supplies, or, at least, supplies to a very limited extent only, would come forward from China in the year 1840 But as the year proceeded cargoes were received, an prices declined to 2s. per lb., subsequently advancing to 2s. 6d., as the warlike expedition made progress, and the expectation was prevalent that the blockade would effec tually stop supplies for the year 1841. The rates, how ever, from various causes relapsed to 2s. Id. per lb. ; and when the last overland mail, the intelligence brought by which proved so ruinous to the speculator, arrived, they were about 2s. 2d. per lb. A sudden light burst upon the trade. Prices went down on the day to Is. Gad. ; they then rose to Is. Bid., and are now nominally about Is. 6d. per lb. A fall of nearly 33 per cent. on the stock on hand, some 48,000,000 1 .1a5., is appalling. The effect of such a fall is, it is true, widely spread, though all suffer pro rota, from the needy retailer to the wealthy importer or the equally weal thy speculator ; but an aggregate loss of 1,250,0001. ster ling has to be borne by the parties collectively. During the fir,A week of the decline, it was hoped that the im porting houses would be firm in withholding their stocks from public sale, end that the reduction in value would irduce purchases by the trade, as speculators. This hope has not been realised. At the public sales which took place a day or two ago low prices were accepted, bu t about one-third only of the quantity offered found buy ers.ee Since , and it h l c o this h f arc e then large sales have been notified f is now difficult to quote actual priceso.r nest speculation may probably ° and occasionally entered into.

This alarm having now in part subsided, and th e s t ock yielding a higher interest in proportion than others, has again been selected for invest ments, which have produced a rise altogether out of pro portion to their amount. The opinion of the most experi enced members of the Stock Exchange is, that no other cause for the advance need be looked for, and that the Bank question remains just as it was before it took place. The markets for the public securities were ",passive throughout the day, and the only bargains were the in vestments made on private account. As accounting for this, may be mentioned the absence of the French mail, which did net arrive till 'Aaiun was on t he eye of C
