Mr. Glyn and his short-sighted friends of the London and Birmingham, clap their little wings, and crow lustily, we understand, upon their success against the Stafford and Rugby. They have much indeed to be proud of. The time will come when the London . and Birmingham Shareholders will find that they have defeated the Stafford and Rugby, it is true, but for what ? Shall we answer them? To lay a broader and securer foundation for a lice ten times more fatal to their interests. Then will the Shareholders find to their cost the debt they owe to Mr. G:yn aid his policy. Had the Stafford and Rugby succeeded, it would have been a good reason for granting no other line from Lon don to Liverpool and Manchester. They might have pleaded to Parliament that the distance was brought to a minimum, that both time and expenses were con siderably reduced to the public, that by the present grant they had experienced a great reduction in their income, and that by any other line nothing in time and little if any in expense would be saved to the public, while it would reduce the London and Birmingham Company to a state of pauperism. Such arguments they might have used with the Legislature, and with tolerably good reason. But what have they done ? They have shut themselves out from all such pleas and arguments, and they have exposed themselves to an enemy many times more formidable than the one they have triumphed over, and which the Parliament is prepared to sanction. Messrs. Glvn and Co. may endeavour to persuade their confiding Share holders that they have nothing to fear from any op position of the kind, and that Parliament would never sanction it. We. however, beg to tell them, and from our own personal knowledge, that numbers of those Members who voted against the Stafford and Rugby, did so because it was only a partial measure, and that if a good line was proposed for the whole or greater portion of the distance, it would have their hearty assistance, for they believe the London and Birming ham will never be able to accommodate the traffic that will ultimately flow in upon it ; that it is wrong to ex pose the public to the grinding charges of this Com pany ; and last, but not the least, that if any accident should happen to this line—and with such awful tun nels and treacherous materials as they have to deal with in some parts, no care can insure security even for a day in a bad winter—they see the communication with a great part of England would be utterly cut off, and the trade and intercourse of the country brought to a stand still. We repeat, therefore, that Mr. Glyn and his associates may endeavour to persuade, if they please, their constituents that they have done them a great service, but we shall be wofully deceived if they will not find it in the end a great dis-service.

It is with no ordinary satjsfaction we inform our readers, that the contracts lately advertised in our journal, from Bridgewater to Taunton, have been let, so as to ensure the completion of this eleven miles within one year. The terms arc 18,000/. a mile, in cluding the permanent way, and every other expense. Notice has also been given to the Great Western Di rectors, the lessees of the railway, that the line to Bridgewater will he ready to be opened for traffic on Whit Monday, the 31st of May next. Tenders for loans on debentures are being offeted every day, and, in fact, the fulfilment of the anticipations of the Chairman, at the half-yearly meeting, sanguine as they were even then in the promising state of the Company thought to be, is so fairly in progress as to render it likely to fall short rather than to exceed the reality. All this is the result of having firm and resolute Di rectors and officers. Had it not been for a few deter mined individuals at the board, aided by the judicious and extraordinary exertions of the Secretary, to counteract the hot-brained, shallow-pated conduct of others, this line would, for years to come, have presented a chaos of incomplete works, instead of a well-finished railroad, returning a handsome dividend to the Proprietors, and conferring incalculable benefits upon the surrounding country.

From several vessels having grounded on a bank of soft mud, about half a mile west of St. Andrew's Church at Pa tras, mariners are hereby cautioned of the spot, it not being very generally known. NEW LIGHTHOUSE HILIP.AT MELBOURNE, PORT P The following has been received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Melbourne : Afrcr August 1, 1840, a plain stationary light will be shown from sunset to sunrise, from a Lighthouse erected on the ex tremity of Geliibrand's Point, William's Town, Hobson Bay, visible five leagues in clear weather, from any safe position to the southward. The following bearings are by compass : From the N. end of Simond's Channel, the anchorage at Wil liam's Town bears N. 6 deg. E. ; from the N. end of the Western Channel, N. 14 deg. E. ; Pinnace, N. 5 deg. E. ; the South, N. 6 deg. W. The courses indicated will give vessel; a fair berth from the Shoal off Gellibrand's Point. Care must be taken after bringing the Lighthouse to bear N. 67 deg. 30 min. W., by compass, not to stand into less than four fathoms water on the Western Shoal, and also to guard against a bank which lies off the Eastern Beach, bearing from the Lighthouse from about N. 22 deg. E., to N. 67 deg. E. One and a half miles after rounding the light, and bringing it to bear about S. 14 deg. W., one mile, the anchor may be dropped in four fathoms water, in good holding ground of stiff clay and mud. / W • ;1 ( at 4jl . .) . 4 *IA ' krt.

That all persons, whatever be their sentimen's or creeds, are certain Dot only to abuse their power, but to come short of their professions and the expectations of the public, is a truism so amply proved, as not to admit of dispute. The page of history corroborates the fact in every age and in every country. The tendency . „ . of all governments is towards a monopoly of power, and not to the preservation of the rights of others. Self is the governing principle—the people and their rights are a feather in the balance. When, therefore, whe- ther by matter of accident, or by the overpowering force of public opinion, a governmnt is formed, well disposel towards the people, and more inclined to en large their rights and privileges than to appropriate them for its own special benefit, too much indulgence to its short-comings and errors cannot be shown towards it. I.t is the interest of the people to support it ; and the more strongly they do so, the more do they strengthen their own cause, and the cause of justice and liberalism throughout the world. We make these observations for two reasons—the first, in order that our readers may not mistake the polities of the British Queen; the sccoad, because, being attached to " progressive Reform," we are deter mined to support the present Administration until we can find a better to supply its place. That it has done all that it ought to have done—that, in power, it has carried out the professions which its different members made before coming into office—it would be impossible to affirm ; but when we look, as we do calmly and con scientionJy, to the improvements which they have ef fected in the Constitution of the country, we are more astonished at their number, than at the omissions of which they have been guilty. .The following is a brief list of a part only of what they have accomplished : X Taken off taxes to the annual amount of Leisened the annual expenses of the Govern- meat Lessened the number of official persons, 1,658 —salaries thereby saved Abolishei upwards of 2,000 places—salaries 259,230 saved 369,250 Reduced the salaries of the Minister=, Chan cellor, Chief Justices, Attorney and Solici. tor-Generals, all salaries above 1,0001. per annum, nearly one-half Reduced salaries and allowances of Ambassa- 199,430 dors, &c. Entire Boards of Commissioners swept away, members of the Boards reduced one-third Two Boards of Stamps and Taxes thrown into one, with various other economical preparations Honse-tax Repealed Duty on printed cottons Duty on candles Duty on starch Repealed Duty on soap one-half 50,525 Duty on slates and coals Repealed Duty on tiles Duty on hemp Duty on drugs Reduced Duty on currants and fruit Reduced Duty on cotton wool Reduced Stamps or► marine insurance Stamps on fire insurance—farming stock Repealed Duty on advertisements St imps on small receipts Land tax on personal estates Repealed Duty on pamphlets and almanacks Repealed Duty on commercial travellers Duty on clerks and book-keepers Repealed Duty on horses of clergymen and ministers—if salary under 1201. Duty on tax-carts Repealed Duty on overseers, warehousemen, and shop men The Irish Church placed on a more satisfactory foot ing by the abolition of several useless Bishoprics, and add ing to the salaries of the inferior clergy. Irish Church-cess abolished. Irish Tithe Abolition Bill now passing through the House of Parliament. . . ... . Tho Bank Charter renewed on a much more liberal system—a monthly report of its accounts to be made pub lic. The convertibility of bank-paper into gold main tained inviolable. The East India monopoly destroyed ; all India and China thrown open to British enterprise and the employ ment of British capital. Negro slavery abolished. These are great and glorious improvements, but they are only a feather in the scale compared with the en deavours of the present Administration in favour of a pl,eral education of the people—the reduction of the stamp duties upon newspapers and advertisem;nts— and the adoption of the penny postage—an "invention," if we may be allowed to use the expression, which is alone sufficient to immortalize any administration. Still there is a something wanting, and that is a re peal of the Corn-laws, either immediate or gradual. Tho latter may be effected without any great difficulty, provided the Members of the House of Commons in favour of abolition would co-operate with the more mo derate repeaters. An immediate abolition, however, in the present position of parties is altogether impossible. The county Representatives are active and determined in its opposition—the Tories are on the watch to ob struct every improvement, and the people themselves are lamentably supine upon the subject. Unless the masses are prepared to act with promptitude—to evince their purpose in the same manner as on the triumphant passing of the Reform Bill—it is equally foolish and un just to expect that her Majesty's Ministers, situated as they arc, can proceed further in their remedial measures than they are now doing. Let the people press the question on Ministers as they ought to do, and the latter will readily and joyfully respond to the nation's cal—British Queen. ~~ PUBLICATIONS.

The Work which is now resented to the publie is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the t: dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.

Tne character and tendencies of the German Corn mercial Union are developing themselves in successive artie!es, which are zealous y circulated through the German papers. They show that this great trading conlederacy is assuming more and more of political in fluence. It will gradually swallow up the smaller States in the vortex of Prussian influence. The boast now is, that thirty millions of Germans are commercially and politically united. The new coinage, which circulates through all the States of the Union, bears the head and the titles of the King of Prussia, though on the obverse it has the inscription, " Vereins Munze," or " Union's Money." A treaty has just been concluded with Great Britain, which gives to the Commercial League all the fa cilities which the Austrian Treaty gave to Eastern Ger many. But the German press is now demanding " a Union flag," which shall represent not, as now, the dif ferent states of Germany to which a vessel may chance to belong, but " the Union of Germany," the " League of the Confederated States," and a German war-fleet to protect the extending trade. We require now (say they) not treaties timidly entered into with small adjacent territories, as Holland and the Hanse Towns, but with remote nations, with the Transatlantic and ultra-European world. They call upon " the League" to nominate Consuls, to send forth its Com missioners to report and to negotiate. The changed position of Prussia is pointed at with no small gratu lation. She has been recognised in the Oriental nego tiations as "one of the Great Powers"--has become one of the elements to be primarily consulted in the ruling political questions of the day. The necessity of absorbing Hanover has been dimly pointed out, and certainly Hanover would lose nothing by being trans ferred from the tender mercies of King Ernest to the enlightened despotism of the Prussian monarch.— xaminer. A PARISH OF FEMALES.—At the Brentford Petty Sessions, held specially for the appointment of Over seer, the list for the parish of Perivale being handed in, gasit found that the name of Mr. Alder, the present overseer, was the only one nominated. Mr. Baillie (one of the Magistrates) said the Bench had not much choice i❑ that case, and inqui ed the reason why only one had been nominated. Mr. Alder replied there were only three men in the parish, the rest being all females. He was one of the three, and the other two were already Church warden and Constable, while he himself was already Guerdian. The Bench congratulated him upon bis envi able situation, and signed his re-appointment. Mrs. Glover will not appear on the Haymarket bonrds this year. The reason assigned for this secession is that, having entered into an engagement for next season at Covent-garden, her present services have been dispensed with by the management of the Haymarket, AFTER. EASTER. Tne following sketch may not prove altogether unin teresting of the principal business of public interest that, according to notice given, will be brought before Parliament " after Easter." There will be no cause for complaint if one-fourth of that business is disposed of before the " shooting season" comes on. Mr. Ewart moves an address for opening Regent's Park to the public ; and also for a Select Committee to consider the best mode of appointing a Public Prosecutor in England and Wales. Mr. Hume's Committee on Na tional Monuments and Works of Art is to be appointed. Mr. Hawes move; for a Committee on the " promo tion of the Fine Arts in connection with the re-building of the new Houses of Parliament." Mr. Grote moves resolutions respecting the Land Fund and Finances of New South Wales ; and Lord Charles Fitzroy moves for a Committee on the subject of the lonian Islands. The Lord Advocate introdnces Bills for amending the law of Scotland as to infeftment, heritable securities for debt, and for " amending the criminal law of Scotland." The Solicitor-General moves for a Committee to inquire as to expediency of" re moving the Courts of Law and Equity from Westminster Hall to Lincoln's Inn." The Chancellor of tho Ex chequer brings forward the Budget ; and there are, moreover, some 60 public Bills, for all of which days have been appointed. Besides this tolerable accumulation of business, there are nearly 30 notices for " after the recess," but for which no particular days have been fixed. These include notices on the important subjects of Life Assurance Companies, and Companies for granting annuities ; the reduction of the duty on Fire Insurances ; the relations of this country with Texas and Mexico ; newspaper stamp returns ; a all to abolish Church-rates ; Merchant Seamen's Fund ; a Bill to regulate safety valves upon steam-boilers in steam-vessels ; Transportation ; the variations in the price of food on the wages of labour ; the substitution of affirmations in . lieu of oaths ; th e carr i age o f t h e mails by railways in Scotland ; the duties of the Lord Advocate of Scotland, &c. &c. This affords a tolerably extensive list of business, for which the Parliament has to prepare itself " after Easter." The prospect of an early importation of new season teas from China has produced a serious depression in the value of the article. This is an article of such ge neral consumption throughout the United Kingdom, the British colonies, and elsewhere, that the following de tails, drawn from recent official returns, must be interest ing to the public. The stocks of teas in the port of Lon don on the Ist instant was 33,389,5401b5. weight. At the same data of 1840 it was 38,012,640, therefore showing a decrease of 4,623,1001135. The principal portion of the at'ck ou the Ist instant consisted of 22,52944011 m of Congou and Pouchong, 3,943,620110. of Twankay, 1,826,3001b5. of Hyson, 1,121,0321bs of Souchong , 843,0001b5. of Imperia l and Gunpowder, and the re mainder of the other various breaks in request in the country. The returns of the stock in the United King dom have not been received. They will, in all probability, show that, includ in g the quantities held in the port of London, there are from 38,000,0001b5. to 39,000,00011)s. in store against 40,000,0001b5. at the corresponding period of 1540. In the quantity of tea upon which duty has been paid in the first thre.l first months of the present year, as compared with the corresponding period of 1840, there has been a material increase, fur we find that, includin g c learances for consumption , stores and exports, 6,518,1521b5 , have bee n p aid dut y u p on stock against this 5,173,0641b5. in the sam e p eriod of last y ear. T he quan tity of East India Comp an y' s Con g ous remaini ng in is now very reduced. The reduction in th e value of c hoice quality of tea — u suall y called the consols of the trade —comparing, the present with the highest price paid for the article last year, is over 120 per cent. It was c sold at 3 5 . 4 d. per lb. It is row sold trus t that the holders of this article ma meet the losses that must have acer b a se on band.

It is with sincere pleasure we announce to our readers that this railway, which was intended merely for tlia transmission of coals, and was never thought would be able to command a traffic in passengers, and which, therefore, is provided with only two locomotives and two railway carriages to run on its single way, has actually carried 2,523 passengers in four weeks, or at the rate of 631 per week. Such a circumstance is strikingly indicative of the great powers of railways to increase and even to create passenger traffic in locali ties where it may be supposed it could hardly exist. lONIAN ISLANDS. The Gazettes of Malta, a place under the dominion of Great Britain, treat continually of the interests of the lonians, who arc under the protection of Great Britain. We ask, with all respect, is it honourable on the part of this great nation, to deny to those under her protec tion the liberty of the press, while she grants it to those who are under her dominion ? to compel the former, bearing the name of free and independent, to implore from the sympathy of the latter who are under her domi nion, the means of giving publicity to their wants ? Let every honest man reply to the questions—every Briton inspired with honour and the true glory of his country ? We will next ask with all humility her Majesty's wise and powerful Government, since this refusal cannot be honourable, as it is not equitable, is it at least justified by any necessity ? A President of the lonian Senate wrote to Si; Howard Douglas, who, we will not say with what prudence, published, that the liberty of the press would be abused for the purpose of tying up the hands of the Govern ment, and disturbing the peace of families. What false and shameful fears 1 Do not the lonians, placed between two States that enjoy the liberty of the press, make use of it, when they please, and with more impunity than they would do if a tree press existed among them under the just restraint of the law, and the vigilance of the Magistrates, ready to crush any abuse at its first appearance ? It is true that a frea press is a restraint upon the Government ; but upon what Go verment ? Certainly not upon one which is actuated by the desire of making its people happy ; which, con scious of the purity of its intentions, despises every ca lumnious attack, as it receives and profits by very pru dent counsel, on whatever side the voice may arise that utters it. On the contrary, the free press place; in a noble point of view the Government from whose greater attention it can derive nothing but good. The Government acts for the public, and why should it fear that the public speak and reason about its pro ceedings? Why wish its operations to be covered with the veil of mystery? Why wish to withdraw from public judgment its conduct, and forbid all discussion and reasoning upon its acts more than upon the mys teries of religion ? The public press, it is true, tears off the mask from baseness, ignorance, and intrigue— shows the country in whom it may confide, whom it should love, and who deserve its contempt ; but from this can injury happen to the State, or embarassment to a Government influenced by upright intentions? Let an enlightened and impartial public reply to these questions.—ll Mecliterraneo. IRISHWOMEN.-Amid the want so often a teridant upon the young and thoughtless marriages of the Irish peasantry, it is wonderful to note how closely heart clings to heart. Poverty, the most severe and prolonged, rarely creates disunion, and still more rarely separation. The fidelity of the lush wife is proverbial ; she will en. dure labour, hunger, and even ill-usage to an almost in credible extent, rather than break the marriage vow ; we have known cases in abundance. "He beat me," said a pretty weeping girl, not nineteen, who h a d marr ied from the service of an old friend. "He heat me, ma'am, long ago, but I never thought snore of it since; and yet that didn't hurt me half s o much as he's s a yi ng th at may b e little Ned wasn't his; that's breaking the heart in me intirsly, though I know ho didn't maws it, and that it was the temper that spoke in hire—the weary on it for temper I I've known nothing but hard s hip since I married him, but I didn't complain of that; we both expected nothing else ; and I d o n't m ind a hasty stroke, for it's hard on him to seo us want ing a potatoe, and he wet and weary—an ould man before his time with the slavery—and though I put little Nekly to bed early, to sleep off the hunger, yet often its too teasing on the poor child, and wakes him in spite of me, and I know the hungry face of the darlint ag gravates his father. I know all that ; b u t h e ought to know that I'd follow him faithful through the gates of death, if that would save him an hour's pain; be ought to know it—and he does know !t —I'm sure he does ; and he kissed me this morning on his fasting breath, leaving the handful of potatoes for me, arid saying the masther, where he gives his strength for ed. a day, ordered him a break fast, which I'm sure ain't the truth. The love's in his heart as strong as ever ; but the misery, ma'am, often hardens the man, while it softens the woman; be didn't mane it, and he knows it' s not true, but it's hard to listen to such a word as that. He was my first love, and he'll he my last. None of us can tell wh a t' s b e f o re us ; but I'd go all my trouble over again if it would do him any ser vice "—Mrs. S. C. Ball's Ireland.

" Give us bread; for why should we die in thy pre sence?—for the money faileth-"—Genesi; xlvii. 15. The time for arguing about tic Corn-laws is now hap pily past. A man might as well argue against gravitation, or dispute the existence of the satellites of Jupiter, as at tempt to deny the fact that the Corn-laws arc an instru ment of evil granted by the Legislature to a few hundred •of country squires, and used by them to inflict famine upon millions of their fellow men. The nonsense which was once talked about the interests of sgticalture, and the danger of depending - for food upon foreign soils, has now assumed its proper form of intrinsic absurdity. It is repeated, indeed, but no man who uses it, and no man who hears it, is deceive i by it. Within the last ten years it has fallen from an argument to a jest. To talk to a man of such things in the present day would be like repeating the nursery tales that frighten infants, with the hope of terrif)ing adults—to talk of old Bogie in order to frighten a grown man. Not through out the tens of millions of laborious creatures which people these islands, not among all our hives of industry, not among all our dense and sweltering swarms of human life, not throughout all the compressed masses of shivering starvation is there a single hapless being who does not know that whatever may be the horrors of his state, one half of these, at least, is caused by the devilish invention which forces him and five hundred others to suffer in order that . one squire may riot. Not a mother hears her chil dren cry for bread, when she has no crumb to give them, but knows that the anguish that wrings her soul is the very coinage of these Corn-laws ; not a squalid famine stricken father, who has denied himself the sustenance that nature requires, and sees, nevertheless, his wife growing faint and haggard from scantiness of food and agony of mind, but knows that for all this misery he has to thank the Corn-laws. Not a family that have to work like horses, in order that they may starve only by degrees, but know when their insufficient modicum of bread is measured forth that there is a glo rious golden harvest of plenty pressing upon our shores, and rotting in our custom-house granaries, from which they arc only shut out by the ignorant fears of the squires, that if the multitude were fed, their luxuries might be re duced. Take a single instance of a famishing family ; mask the sinking hopelessness of the mother, the thoughtless cries of the children, the stern despair of the father—looking around upon misery he has no means of alleviating, and upon children whom he knows arc growing up only that they may succeed to the inheritance of that same wretchedness which be now feels, and sink at last into the same pauper's grave which already yawns athwart his path. Take a family such as this, and mul tiply the instance by thousands, and then imagine, if the mind is large enough to imagine it, the mighty volume of the curse which rises hourly to the throne of the Great God of the Universe, and challenges retribution upon the destroyers of their kind. History affords no parallel—the experience of men can recall no semblance of similitude—the policy of empires the most rotten, and tyrants the most wanton, can furnish no precedent for a single instance of starving the many, for fear some luxury might be wanted to a few. - Yet we, in a country which, by a bitter irony, is called " free and hippy England," have this infernal invention in opera tion among us with all the uniformity and potency of a regular system, and monthly hecatombs of human victims are sacrificed in silence to this Moloch. Charles Pelham Villiers, member for Wolverhampton, is a man who has thrown himself, heart and soul, into this cause, and a man who, if his perseverance is equal to his ability, may be confidently pointed out as the man who is destined to bear it onward to entire success. This is the sort of Reformer that I like. Not a dreamy theorist— not an ambitious or a discontented crotchet monger—but a hearty, useful, practical Reformer, pitting himself against some well-known and ever-acting abuse, pointing the bat tering-ram against it, gathering the multitudes by whom it is propelled, shaking the deeply-rooted monstrosity by the vigour, rapidity, and pertinacity of his blows, and bringing on, minute by minute, the good time when the strong edifice of tyranny shall vibrate—shat totter—and shall fall; and when the people shall rush in at the breach, and feast upon the plenty which it held within its greedy keep. Villiers is an honest man, an able man, and, I think, a judicious as well as a persevering man. In the House of Commons he has not certainly that weight or standing of which, for the sake of the cause he advoca'es, I could wish to see him in the enjoyment. With a good figure, an ex cellent voice, and no lack of zeal, he still is, perhaps for want of practice, but a mediocre speaker. Master of more words than any other rrisn in England—for he is, perhaps, the most fluent proficient in the languages of Europe that we could produce—he is often at a loss for a word; and when he is trying to show the corn-tax eaters around him, that it is their interest as well as that of the people, that wheat should be plentiful instead of scarce, I have often heard him sneered at for halting at a word, by men who would have to stutter all their life time if they were required to produce an idea. This, however, may probably be attributed to want of practice and confidence, for I have heard him speak a great deal better upon the hustings ; and when I remember that before he suffered himself to be put forward as a leader upon the. Corn-law question, his addresses to the House were always of a most Spartan brevity, lam inclined to hope that this is a defect which he may yet overcome. Gallant, uncompromising, and daring as is Villiers' conduct in the agitation with which he has so closely connected himself, he is nevertheless a man of highly cultivated intellect, of literary taste, and of aristocratic connections, being closely related to three Earls, and the grandson of an Earl of Clarendon. Villiers very early in life adopted that profession which in England, and indeed in all countries, both ancient and modern, has been the resort of men who have been stimulated by ambition, or prompted by a consciousness of talent. He writes barrister after his name ; but, like many others, he has been seduced by the strong excitement of political contention from that dull and dogged plodding which can alone lead to success in that particular branch of the law to which he has applied himself. Whether Villiers does ever venture to unfold the mysteries of some real property case, before the Lord Chancellor, or whether he ever condescends to pocket two guineas for moving for an cader upon some unopposed petition, before the Master of the Rolls, I have no means of knowing. It is possible that while he agitates against the Corn-laws he is not neglectful of his profession ; for being as yet only about five or six and thirty, he is quite a juvenile in West minster Hall, and cannot be supposed to have arrived at the distinction of bing " a promising young man," as men of 41 or 42 are generally designated when they are found to be creeping into practice. With this, however, I have nothing to do. I find him an energetic, an able, and the honest Representative of a numerous and well-informed manufacturing constituency. I find him fighting heart and hand against the most monstrous curse that was ever endured by a free people. As such I esteem him, and as such I present him to the British people for encourage ment and honour. 1841.—The following Governors and Directors of 11 year ensuing : is the house list of the Le Bank of England, for the FOR GOV: Sir John Henry Pell William Cotton.

WESTMINSTER VERSUS MANCHESTER.—In Manchester " the poor have not the means of taking care of their children, their whole time being taken up in providing their families with food, and that of the coarsest kind."—[.l. B. Smith, Esq., as reported in the Anti- Corn-law Circular, February 25, 1841.1 —The con sequence that the children arc allowed, and probably actually encouraged, to steal, and the amount of juve nile delinquency from this cause has very much in creased of late. This is owing to the high price of pro visions and the low rate of wages. In Westminster, however, " they manage these things " otherwise, if not " better." There they burn the superabundant children. It appears from the following extract from Mr. Bactleley's annual report of "'London Fires," in the Mechanics' Magazine, that during the last year no fewer than one hundred and three children have been killed cif in this manner ; immeliately, by fire—remotely, by the Corn-laws r—" It appears that during the last twelve months, no less than 103 children have been burnt to death in that district (Westminster), chiefly owing to their parents leaving them alone in a room with a fire in it." They " are generally the offspring of the working and poorer classes of society, whose business takes them from their homes, and many of whom are obliged to leave their children without care or protection, white themselves go into the sticets to procure the means of subsistence." In these two instances we have the Malthusian doctrine illustrated, that vice and misery arise when population ap proaches the limits of the means of subsistence? But who limits the means of subsistence? Nature? No; Man Man starves his fellow-creatures, and then vice and misery arise among them --Anti- Corn-law Circular. It will be recollected that the subject of affording to the population of the vastern part of the Metropolis the healthful arlyantages of an open park was last year ! motel We think we may now announce that steps are being taken for the accomplishment of that desirable object. For some time past a gentleman connected with th e lepart ment of a Noble Lord, to whom the inhabitants of the metropolis are already so much indebted for extending the means of public recreation, has been employed in survey ing and laying down plans of a large plot of ground in the vicinity of Limebouse, which it is considered may be an eligible site for such a park. Many difficulties must of of course present themselves to the completion of this ob ject, but we trust we are justified in stating that the ar xious desire of the Government to carry out this salutary pur pose will met with no insurmountable obstacle.—Sunday Paper. ~ ~~ I //.2_ EVENING EDITION. TARIFF DUTIES. A public and numerous meeting of the inhabitant of Leer, near Oldham, called by the Constable, on a requisition of the principal inhabitants, was held at the Swan Inn, on Wednesday, the 7th of April instant. A number of spirited resolutions were passed in favour of the general principles embodied in the Report_on Import Duties ; Mr. G. LAWTON, Constable, in the Chair. PETER SEVILLE, Esq., spoke of the very great im portance of a total revision and amendment of the commercial tariff, inasmuch as they were at present founded on wrong principl es , an d were inflicting a serious injury on ail classes of the community, especially those connected with trade and commerce ; and he hesitated not to say, that, to their operation, much of the evils so severely felt by manufacturers and work men, were mainly to be attributed. Mr. W. Nielloasoei depicted the withering effects produced by excessive taxation, and forcibly pointed out that the oppressive amount of import duties fell the most heavily on the middle and working classes, an d was destroying the energies and prosperity of the coun try. He said he felt persuaded under our present system we were fast sinking down to the condition of the Irish people, it therefore behoved every lover of his country to raise his voice against the longer continuance of such system of monopoly, especially against the Provision and Corn-laws, which he described as laws enacted for the benetit of one class, at the expense and injury of the other. Some great change must be effected, or the manufacturing population would be totally and irre trievably ruined. Mr. A. OGDEN showed why protecting duties yielded so little to the revenue, by supposing a case ; viz., that if only one quarter of grain were imported into this country, at a duty of ten shillings, that it would have the effect of raising the whole quantity of grain on hand to a corresponding amount ; and, taking the quantity consumed at fifty millions of quarters, it would be a tax on the consumer of twenty-five million pounds annually, on grain alone ; the revenue, in such a case, receiving only ten shillings on the one quarter imported. Mr. J. &taw, an operative, ably combated the notion of the Chartists, that a repeal of the Provision and Corn-law taxes would reduce the price of labour. He showed, very clearly, that the price of labour de pended wholly and solely on supply and demand; and that the repeal of eny tax left that money in the hands of the people, and, consequently, gave them an increased means of procuring more of the manufactures of the , country, thereby increasing the demand for labour, and increasing its price. Mr. MOSES Ctratassaer said the Provision and Corn laws had deranged our currency, and would continue to do so ; that that derangement had ruined thousands of honest and industrious manufacturers and their artisans. He advised every man wishing well to his wife, his child ren, and his country, to petition, agitate, and petition again and again, till the evil was put down ; for himself he would never cease to cry out against so flagrant an injustice. _ The Rev. Mr. Mortals addressed the meeting in a beautiful and powerful speech—He said he was no poli tician, but be felt it to be his duty, as a minister of the Gospel, to come forward on this occasion, and lift up his voice against the evil and oppression of the commercial tariff, which was ruining the country. lie said an allivise Providence had given to every country its natural and pe culiar production, thus making one clime dependent on another, and it was the interest of each to sell aed to purchase at the best market, and thus to increase the comfort and ,prosperity of all. He observed, that our tariff, by inflicting punishment on other States, had infitcted a tremendous mischief on ourselves, and that if we were once to liberalise cur tariff, other States would be com pelled to do the same. if the Corn-laws were repealed, he had no doubt the trade of the country might be ex tended almost to an indefinite extent, and the blessings of peace, of knowledge, and of comfort extended through the habitable globe. Mr. ELLIOTT denounced the injustice of laws made for the purpose of interfering with and raising the price of every man's food. He said, great as is the injustice of the Corn-laws, they are not the only laws on our Statute-book for making provisions dear ; there are other laws which forbid food from being brought free into this country, commonly called the Provision-laws, end he read to the meeting a long list of heavy duties, imposed for the advantage of the agriculturists, and the enisequent injury and ruin of the consumers. He con cluded by observing, trade is become profitless, our manufacturers are becoming bankrupts, our work pewle paupers and beggars, property of all kinds sinking in value, nothing but one universal wreck presents it self. He therefore moved the petition to Parliament, for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Pro vision.laves, and a thorough and just revision of the com mercial tariff generally, which was passed unanimously. A GENTLEMAN at one corner of the room observed, that he would not oppose the resolutions, for they had his entire concurrence ; and he wished to have added a rider to tile resolution, but, for the sake of unanimity, he would forbear. He confessed he had no expectation from the present House of Commons, their general in attention, speaking of him as a body, to the wants of tire people, convinced them that nothing could be ex pected from them sufficiently large and comprehensive to meet the dreadful state of the country. The Re form Bill must be reformed ; that House made to be what it was not—a fac-simile of the public mind. If any ono doubted his assei tion, he would point only to one fact. Had we not, tor the last three years, been sink ing deeper and deeper in distress and ruin, so that the commercial community were bankrupts, or on the point of it ?—and yet what measures bad been adopted to stay the evil ? He had been an observer of the doings of the House of Commons for a long period ; but it was his opinion that he had never known, not even the old boroughmongering House of Commons, less die posed to do anything really effective to benefit the peo ple at large. A N'nte of thanks was passed to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair.

Till this does take place, little progress can be made in the contemplated Government improvements. On the 3d inst., Colonel Napier sailed from here for Beyrout, in one of the Pacha's corvettes, having on board the Syrian chiefs. The Acheron, French Government steamer, arrived here on the 15di instant, with Count Chabot on board, sent to replace M. Cochelct. Th. re was a sale of ten thousand cantara of cotton on the 9:h instant, which brought 141 dollars: it was chiefly bought for the Trieste and Slarseilles markets; and another of ten thousand more on the 17th inst., which brought 14 23-100 dollars per eantar. It is estimated the Government have about 70,000 cantors more to receive from the country. There is great activ;ty here with shipping grain for various parts of the Levant.
