Sir—lt is placed beyond doubt that since the period the " food monopoly" was created, the population of the empire has increased at the ratio of 36 per cent. at the least. Making all allowances for improvements in the a ~ ;•ricultural processes, has the"native production of food increased five per cent. ? I think not ; but he must be a bold " Buckinghamite," who would attempt to l rove that the increase of • native food has been one-fourth as great as the increase of months to eat it. Now, Mr. Editor, will you oblige a simple " bagman," by telling him, though these laws might have been equi table when they were enacted, how in the altered rela tion of supply and demand can they be other Wise than intolerably unjust how ? I arn, sir, your obedient servant, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. Salisbury, May 28. CORN LAWS AND utiARTISTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza,—l cannot approve of the conduct pursued by so large a portion of my Chartist brethren in their opposi tion to the present agitation for a repeal of the Corn-laws. I attach, probably, a greater importance than they do to the abolition of the several monopolies now under dis cussion Possessing no faith in the sincerity of the Go vernment in regard to their professed, determination to effect the abolition of the several monopolies which ob struct our commerce, as well as our social and political advancement, I am of opinion that, monopolies once repealed, no influence of whatever Government will be sufficiently powerful to effect a re-imposition of them ; or to postpone, neutralize, or destroy the grand and im measurable advantages which will flow from a liberal and comprehensive system of free trade—that, in fact, " free trade will be the Whigs' master, as well as their own and the country's benefactor." Having drawn up a petition to the Hottsp of Commons, I am glad to say that in the course of two hours we ob tained not less than one hundred and five signatures. A petition in favour of the Corn-laws is also in pro gress here, under the auspices of the aristocracy and their dependents ; and I regret to say that ministers of the Established Church have become the most zealous promoters of its success. In the church of a neighbouring parish the Clergyman, on the Sab bath-day, exhorted his hearers to sign a petition to uphold the Corn-laws. A labouring man inquired the purport of the petitit n, intimating that if its prayer was for a continuance of the laws, he should object to attachhis signature. " Oh, do not hesitate to sign it," replied the clergyman, "it is all right—its object is to put down Socialism and Chartism." • But a volume would not contain the misrepresentations imposed by the clergy and flint-hearted aristocracy on the weaker understandings and unsuspecting minds of the oppressed. and almost famished labourers and me chanics in this neighbourhood. Our petition prays for an abolition of all monopolies, whether in relation to land, or corn, or to the Parlia mentary franchise ; 'and I trust that my Chartist' briF.:- thren, in every part of the empire, will no longer hesi tate to promote so important and valuable an object.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, com puted from the Returns made in the week ending the Ist day Ct June, 1841, is 38s. 2id. per hundred weight, exclusive of the duties of customs paid or payable thereon on the importa tion thereof into Great Britain. MR. ALDERMAN COPELAND. (Extract of a letter from Stoke-on-Trent.) I do not like " to halloo till out of the wood ;" but I think I may safely say that Mr. Dear-Sugar Copeland, stands a good chance of being sent back to his shop, in stead of the House of Commons. It is true he and his colleague, Mr. Davenport, polled above 200 more • votes than their opponents, Messrs. Bridges and Sheridan, at the general election in 1837. But the public are now beginning to look forward with apprehension to the effects which must follow from keeping up monopolies. Even some of the Tory friends of Copeland and Davenport, who would otherwise give them their most strenuous sup port, are shaking their heads at the vote on the sugar duties, and inquiring what interest our two Members, as tradesmen, can have in common with the aristocracy, when " their own shop books " must convince them that the more extended the market is for the introduction of Bri tish goods into foreign countries, the better for the manu facturer. lam happy to say that, although there are of course exceptions, many of the Chartists are beginning to see into the deception of the Tories; and the opinion given by Mr. Oastler, that there cannot be so stringent a Poor• law with the present Corn-law, is rapidly gaining ground. By the bye, let me give you a hint. The T or i es 'now give out, that as a body they are opposed to the Poor-law. As they hope by this deception to gain a few seats, where parties are nicely balanced, would it not therefore be worth while for the Liberal party to publish repeatedly (as the Standard does Lord Melbourne's speech against altering the Corn-law s ), th e strong opi nion given by Sir Robert Peel. in favour of the Bill in troduced by Lord John Russell, together with a list of all those Tory Members who voted for it ? R ESIGNATION OF ANDREW WHITE, ESQ.; MENDER FOR SUNDERLAND.-9ur advertising columns this iveek .ounce the intention of our highly respected Liberal r~ p •esentative not to offer himself for re-election at the app o tching dissolution of Parliament.—Sunder land Herald. MESHAM AND BROWNE V. HILL The proceedings in this case, which was a suit against the de. fendant for the subtraction of Church.rates, were postponed to Tuesday, the 15th of June, in order that the libel might be amended. The defendant complained of the hardship of being brought from Bedford to London, a distance of upwards of fifty miles, with. out having any final settlement of the case come to. He stated that this was the second time he was put to the expense of coming to London, and that he was too poor to be able to get professional assistance. Under those circumstances he hoped the case wou'd be at once decided. The COURT stated that any proceedings in the case must be stayed till the libel was amended. After disposing of some other business, the Court rose shortly before three o'clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. COURIER.—Mr. Handley is in luck's way, that's flat. After jogging on in easy, and, so far as public concerns, hum ble life, " the world forgetting, by the world forgot," for some half a century of age, he bursts upon us all at once in full blown butterfly plumage, the gaped at of all eyes, and th e mos t ambitiously erratic of all doomed and transitory moths. As, inverting the passage, from the ridiculous to the sublime, there is, we are told, but one step, so without intermediate stags of preparation or transition, from a creeping chrysalis he has spread his wide insect wings to catch the gale of public noto riety. " Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them," quoth the sage Malvo lio ; we incline to believe, at cross purpose voting, Mr. Hand ley as richly entitled to class with the latter genus as his great " cross-gartered" antecedent himself. His " greatness" has indeed been vigorously thrust upon him with all the merciless mischief exclusively appertaining to the Conservative press without, Conservative orators within Parliament. We a.e not sorry to have taken our share in hailing tile sudden sphntlour of the mid-day sun, if only from the benevolent consciousness of the darkling eclipse and . instantaneous extinction which await it, when sinking and swamped, as so soon to be in the cheerless fens of Lincolnshire. STANDARD.—In our recent exposure of the miserable failure of the attempt to excite a Corn-law agitation, we gate the Metropolitan C..rn-law Association credit for telling the truth in the advertisement published by them in the Morning Chronicle, calling for more subscriptions. They acknow ledged in that appeal that they last year collected 1,0001., whilst they had, this year, they said, been unable to raise more than 700/., notwithstanding the vast increase of public excitement on the subject. This lachry mose howl for more money was followed by a threat of the total failure of the conspiracy in case of further default on the part of the people. We have since been assured that the sum which these importunate mountebanks have received in Eng land and Ireland amounts to little more than 600/. ; which at the rate of a guinea a-head (and we can hardly presume that members of the committee would contribute less), will give to the can e just so many earnest supporters out of a population of nearly 30,000,000—a falling off from previous manifestations of nearly 50 per cent. If this be a proof of the progress of the cause in public opinion, we trust it will con tinue to proceed in the same inverse ratio of success. Why, looking at the capital letters and notes of admiration with which the accounts in the Morning Chronicle of recent " great meet ings" have been headed, a larger fund than this might reasonably have been looked for from any one of them. There is scarcely a charitable institution in London which, at its anniversary meeting cannot command a far larger share of the cash and sympathy of her Majesty's subjects than the Anti-Corn law Association ; and if it should hereafter be otherwise, any public institution exhil iting so important a decline of its funds, will at all events not date the increase of the interest felt in its con cerns from the precise period at which its subscriprior.s may happen to fall off. The people of England refuse the Anti- Corn-law Association their money, because they de not care one farthing about them or their objects, and because they have in fact much better uses for it. GLOBE.—Mr. Colquhoun is very pathetic about Sir R. Peel working without salary ; and certainly the bowels of most Tories must yearn at the recital. But, after all, the case is not entirely unprecedented. Brougham, Romilly, Mackintosh, Lord Grey, Lord J. Russell, &c. did a good deal of work, in their time, without salary, or much hope of salary. The difference we admit to be a material one. The Whig statesmen ultimately forced their measures on Tory Ministers. The Tory statesmen have conformed to, arid cobbled, the mea sures of Whig Ministers. They have acquiesced, for the roost part, in passing (more or less altered) the measures of Govern ment. Most extraordinarily this is made a reason why they should take their places. Public opinion has constrained th,-u s (some of them, we grant, not unwillingly) to follow in the wake of Whig policy, and assist in passing Whig m-asures. They have done so as regarded Canada; they have done so as regarded Ireland ; they have done so as regarded munici pal reforms, tithes, poor •laws, &c. Therefore the framers of those measures ought to give place to them ; because, for sooth, they could not have carried them without their sup port and acquiescence. Whykdid they give that support and acquiescence? In compliance with public opinion. All that it proves, therefore, is that the Wh;g Ministry proposed measures which the leaders of the Tory Opposition qould not but acquiesce in (with whatever reservations), if they hoped to conciliate public opinion. And now they make a merit of having assisted to pass those measures ; as if their having been constrained (whether by enlightened public opinion or their own) to afford that assistance—an assistance afforded against the sense, or nonsense, of their own party—were not the strongest testimony in favour of the policy they attack, and did not indeed stultify themselves by attacking that policy.

DUNCOMBE moved that the letition of Samuel Doubleday, presented on the 2d of June, be.; tinted with the Votes. tit had - another petition which . he hail received this morning on the same subj et. It was from Mr. Kilby, of Mamfleld, near Nottingham, who statt d that he had heard with ,urprise that a petition had been presented two days ago from a person named , Coxe, s:adng that certain parties had offered him a -large sum of money to bribe the Chartists to v o te f or th e Whigs. The petitioner believed that the whole of that statement was untrue, and he prayed the House to institute an immediate and search ing inquiry. Be a'so stated that . he was ready to prove that the said Coxe, who accused the Whigs of bribery-for the next election, was emplo3ed by the present- Member or his a7.ent, for the express purpose of bribing voters at the I:st election—(A laugh)—and which he did to a large extent; and also that he himself was offered 5/. to vote for the present Member—that he refused to accept the bribe, but gave his vote in favour of Mr. Walter. The petitioner wished to be called before the bar of the House to prove these facts. The Honourable Member then gave notice that on Thursday next, when the peti tion of Edward Coze was brought under the- considera tion of the House. he shCuld move that the petilions of Samuel Doubleday and William Kiiby . be also taken into consideratio . CORN-LAWS.. - Sir F. KNATCHBULL observed that the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, had a motion on the papers for that night la sating to the imprztation of foreign corn ; but as the motion would not probably come on that evening, he begged that some Member of her Majesty's G.vernment, in the absence of the Noble Lord, would state on what day he intended to bring the question under the consideration of the House. It would be a very great convenience that they should be informed upon the subject. —( 114 ar.) Lord PALMERSTON said that his NoWe Friend would in form the Rouse, More it separated, of the day on which he would bring fur ward his motion. He (Lord Palmerston) be.. lieved it would he Tuesday next ; but he was not quite sure. Sir E. KNATCIIBULL said that if the Noble Lord could not furnish him with more accurate information on the subject, he must be content. He had not a• ked the question from any uncourteous motive.but it was a subject on the discussion of which a great deal of anxiety naturally prevailed, and he feared that if he had to wait until the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies cane into the House it might be too late.

Gentleman op posite, the Under -Secretary of State far the Home Depart ment, what it was likely that certain returns for which he (Captain Polhill) moved, the number of Deaths of Paupers in Union Workhouses, would be laid on the table. Mr. F. MAU'LE stated that he had given oreiers to the Poor-law Coonnissioners to prepare the returns without delay, that he 'had not vet. received them, but ki soon as he did so they should b. laid on the table. • CANDIA. Lord TEIGNMOUTH, seeing the Nob!e Lord the Se cretary for Foreign Affairs in his place, wished to abk him whether he had taken any measures in conformity with the declaration of the Allied Powers to prevent the perpetration by the Turks of cruelties on the Christian inhabitants of Candia. Lord PALMERSTON did not know to what declaration the Noble Lord alluded, but Ito would state that as soon as her Majesty's' Government had received information o the trou bles in Candia they had de,pa,ched instructions to our Am bassadcr at Constantino':le, dire etin. him to use hi s ut mos t endeavou, s to prevail on the Turkis%'"Government to enter into some arrangement with the Greek population of Gandh& which while on the one hand it 'should be satisfactory to the Turkish Government, shoaltt on the other give the Greek po pulatioa of Cacdia.ful sectuity for their persoos ant properties, and he had also been &meted to urge the Turki,li Government nut to have recourse to measures more severe than should be abso:uteiy necessary. ' Lord TEIGNAIOUTH had allude, to the declaration of the Allied Powers in IMO. The answer of the Noble Lord had been perfectly satiqeetorv. PORTUGUESE CLAIMS. In answer to a question from Lora SANDON, ":.Lord PALMERSTON stated that the Commissioners for settling the Portuguese Claims had been busily employed in laying town a cede of rues - .,nilixinciples which might he ap plicable 'to the different spee.fic cases, and that these claims would vt•ry soon I,)c laid before the Portuguese Government. Mr. WAITER pr,s.nted a petition from the town of Dutle::, stating that after• nine years' experience the petitioners were firmly cortvii:ced that her Majesty's Ministers were ince pabie of governing the country to the satisfaction of the people, and praying the House to address her Maj.'sty for their imme diate di>mis al. Mr. F. MAULE begged to ask by how many persons the petition was signed.—( Cries of " Hear, hear," from the Liberal wenches, and " Order, order," from the Tory.) Mr. FOX 'MA ULE proposed that the petition should be read. The Clerk then read the petition, Ulich was signed " Win. Taylor, on behalf of the meeting." ADJOURNED DEBATE. .On the Order of the Day for the adjourned debate on the No-Conlidence Resolution beitig real, Mr. SHELL rose end said that the resolution proposed by the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tainworthy might be, he ventured to say, the resolution which the Right Hon. Gentleman had been persuaded to propose—( Laughter) --by sonic of thoe addresses in which he thought the expe rience of the Right Hon. Baronet might teach him that no very implicit confidence could be reposed ; that resolution did not contain any condemnation of measures; there was nothing to preclude the Right lion. Baronet, whenever the interests of the country or of his party might require it, from reducing the duties upon slave-groan sugar, or from bringinghis views on the Corn.- law . question into conformity with those of Sir George Murray or the flight Hon. George Dawson, who, in better times, was, he believed, Financial Secretary under him. The Right Hon. Baronet, in bringing forward his reso . lution, took care, with the caution which was characteristic hint, not to involve himself in any engagements which here. after might he found embarrassing by him. They were not now called upon to decide on the policy of the Government with respict to the Corn-laws, or the sugar duties, but on the general policy of that Govern ment, in whose wisdom and just feeling towards Ireland their confidence had been universally plaeed. The hitht Horn. Baronet had no doubt calealated on the detection of some of the English Members, but he (Jr. Shell) thought that this Right Honourable Gentleman - would find his calculations were erroneous. This resolution of necessity involved a com parison between the relative merits of the two great parties. and whoever voted for it would give expression to the opinion that n o t on l y the flight Honourable Baronet, the Mem ber for Taroworth, hut also the Honourable Member for Kent, who had to his (Mr. Shell's) surprise put some quer., tions to him at the opening of this debate i as also the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, and the Right Hon. Baronet tt.e Member fur Pembroke, (5... jr J.. Graham), were more de erring of the confidence of Coe ri formed House of Commons than the Nol.le Lord the ' o :eeretary fur the Colonies , and the rest of th ose b y whom Reform was never abandoned.

Member for Pembroke, but in consequence of his dropping hi s voice at the end of his sentences, they were not understood in the gallery.) The Right Honour.. able Baronet (Sir J. Graham) was more than miStoken in attributing to the Government experiments in Parliathent for the irtitation of the public mind, and of resorting to measures which the most distinguished of the members of the Govern ment had distinctly repudiated. He held in his hand a letter from the Noble Lord the Secretary • for the Colonies, dated July 31, 1831, addressed to James Watts. Esq., a gentleman resident at Stroud, in which fhe Noble Lord set forth opinions on the Corn-laws exactly similar to those which he now entertained. The Noble Lord in that letter (alluding to the Corn-laws) said that he gave his support to the Bill of 1829, considering it an improvement on the pro hibitory system; but at the same time in his( Lord J. Russell's) opinion, a moderate fixed duty would be more advantageous to the agriculturist, and also to the manufacturer ; that it was desirable not to alter too frequently the law by which capital and great interests were affected; but it was also desirable not to maintain a system of ditties which experience had shown, had. a tendency VI raise the price of food ; that he gave this as hits individual opinion, but that it was one which he was ready tt support by his vote in . the House of Commons.-- (Loud cheers.)

Messengers from the Commons brought up the Stafford shire Potteries Small Debts Bill, and the Newcastle and Ccr lisle Railway Bill, which were severally read a first time. VICTORIA PARK. The Victoria Park Bill was read a third time and passel'. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions trom the county of Norfolk against any alteration in the Corn- aws. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented several petitions from places in Kent, against any alteration in the Corn -'aws. Also petitions from Kent, against any alteration in the dutiei on sugar and timber. Lord SEGRAVE presented a petition from Stroud, in Glou cestershire, against the repeal of the Corn-laws. Lord FEVERSHAM presented severalpetitions from York shire against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Lord STRANG FORD presented several petitiors from Kent to the same effect. Lord ROLLE presented petitions from Devonshire against any alteration of the Corn-laws. Lord BEAUMONT presented petitions from Evesham against any alteration in the present graduated scale of duties with respect to corn. Lord BRAYBROOK presented petitions from certain agri cultural labourers, against any alteration in the Corn-laws, in which they stated that if any alteration took place, it would be the means of throwing them out of employment. He (Lord Braybronk) fully concurred in that petition. 3he Earl of RADNOR would ask the Noble Lord what were the ages of the persons signing the petition, and what sort of labourets they were. Lord BRAYBROOK said he could not then give the Noble Earl an answer, but if the Noble Earl wished, he would obtain the information. The Earl of RADNOR thought that before the Noble Lord expressed his concurrence in the prayer of the petitioners, he should have been prepared to answer any inquiries respecting them. The Earl of CLARE presented a petition from the Cham ber of Commerce of Limerick, against any alteration in the Corn-laws, and against any alteration in the timber duties. The Earl of WARWICK' presented several petitii;hs to the same effect. The Earl of STANHOPE thought the prayer of the peti tioners was a very just one. The party opposing the present Corn-laws had argued that their repeal would benefit the man facturers of this country. In that he fully concurred, as it would certainly be the means of reducing wages. Earl FITZ WILLIAM denied the assuption of the Noble Earl, that a repeal of the Corn-laws would be the means f reducing the wages of the labourer. He (Fitzwilliam) con tended that the present Corn-laws had been proved a hind irt Ice to our intercourse with other nations. Earl STANHOPE said that a low price of corn in this country was always attended with a corresponding price in the wages of labour. There was one class of the population of this uountry . which was unrepresented in the House of Commons, and that was the labouring classes. He would tell the Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government, that he would ra ther the country were governed by Chartists than by the pre sent Administration. After a few words from Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Ducie, and Lord Beaumont, the subject dropped. Earl STANHOPE thought the Noble Lord (Godolphin) had calumniated the petitioners, and he (Earl Stanhope) viewed with horror this treating with contempt the petitions of the people, and, most of all, the labouring classes. He (Earl Stanhope) would advise the Noble Lord to converse more with the labouring classes before he made such an assumption as he had just done..--( Hear. ) Lord GODOLPHIN meant not to throw any aspersion on the whole of the labouring population of the country ; the ob servation he had made only bore reference to the petitions pre sented by the Noble Lord (Lord Hardwicke).—(Hear. ) Earl FITZ WILLIAM would like to know what arguments were addressed to those who signed the petitions?—(A laugh.) Lord HA RDWICKE said he certainly could not answer the question. As far as he (Lord Hardwicke) had heard of the petitioners, they were then very comfortable, and they had expressed their conviction, that if an alteration were to be made in the present Coin-laws, they would not long re main so.—( Cheers. ) The Earl of ABERDEEN presented several petitions from Aberdeen and its neighbourhood, one of which was signed by 8,000 persons, against any alteration in the Corn-laws, and against an alteration in the timber duties. The Marquis of ANGLE SEA presented a petition from Burton-on-Trent in favour of an alteration in the present Corn-laws.

Earl RADNOR presented a number of petitions from places in Kent, from Uxbridge, Salisbury, Newport, Isle of Wight, and other places, against the Corn-laws. Lord BERESFORD presented petitions from Kent against the Bill brought into the other House for an alteration in the Poor-lawn, and particularly complaining of the bastardy clause. Earl FIT ZWILLI AM presented petitions from St. Luke's, Chelsea, and other places, in favour of the measures now before Parliament, with respect to the import duties. Also peti• ions from Derbyshire, to the same effect. Earl STANHOPE begged to say a few words with respect to those petitions. He understood that the parties in Derby who were against the present Corn.laws, had not ventured to call a public meeting in that town to petition Parliament en the subject, but had obtained signatures to their petitions from strangers passing through the town, and from women and children. Earl FITZ WILLIAM said he could say nothing on the sub ject, the petitions he had presented were from Derbyshire, and not from the town of Derby. The Duke of BEA UFGAT presented a petition from Glou cester against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Earl FITZ %VILLIAAI presented a petition from Birming►- tam, agreed to at a public meeting. and signed by 18,000 persons, pra3ing for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn. laws.

The Marquis of BUTE presented several petitions from Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, and Northamptonshire, against any alteration in the Corn-laws.
