LE BRAY'S "TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEETH." • Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums Causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro duces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A loft substance invariably accumulates around the reeks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually taste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and 'ltop out whole from their socketstk:nd it is well known tl,si the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. ~,1 3 1: 1 this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following rrations • -•-•• When the disgustin g e ff ec t s o f thi s accume . • . to ton se are considered, it would appear impossible that any per as'oll could be necessary to induce persons to o b v i a t e so great nuisanc e even on their seen account : or if th ey are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ "P; a skilf u l D ent i st, t h ey surely have no right to shock the roses of et ! iers , who possess more delicacy end pr o p r i e ty o f bug than themselves.

But I need not dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may to thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient rknow that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be o und to be ma n y years i n a d vance of any system now in Eu roPe, and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at the Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford -street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to 'the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They -arcs so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful east; correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing Sway with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stun . pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of am plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can 'ender that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a • sallow complexion are embellished anti rendered agreeable by a 'goad set of teeth.

Carried, nem. eon. t moved by RICHAan FRY, Esq., seconded by MicuAn. ASHTON Esq. • , , 4. That while this Committee would afford no sanction to monopoly prices, which only present fresh inducement to the coercion and injury of the free labourers in the emancipated colonies, they are at the same time firmly of opinion that these fiscal arrangements—taking into account the sacrifices this country has already made —ought to be coupled with such ne gociations with slave-holding States, as would lead to the abandonment of the costly and cruel system of slavery, and its concomitant evil the Slave-trade, and with the determination to admit, from all count. ies, at once, on equal terms, sugar and other produce, the result of free labour. THE ADVERTISER is desirous of meeting with a person of CAPITAL, say from 2,000/. to 5,0001., which might be safely and profitably employed in an Old-established Connection.

Carried, nem. con. w•as moved by Mr. Alderman BLACKBURN, seconded by oy WILLIAM RATIIIIONE, Esq. ; 5. That as, in the opinion of this Committee, free labour, when fairly brought' into operation, is cheaper than that of slaves, the most effectual means of abolishing slavery will be found in the fair competition of free and coerced labour ; and as the contest between the two must eventually take place, they cannot but regard the proposed alteration in the duties on Sugar, as the commencement of a course at once beneficial and wise, and calculated, in its ultimate effect to promote the en tire abolition of slavery in every part of the world.

It was surely matter for surprise that save sugar was sold, after having been refined in this country, to those British colonies from which we received free labour sugar. But, stranger still, the islands of Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Alan received 2,000 cwt. of that same sugar which found its way back again to England in the shape of peppermint-lozenges, barley-sugar, and other confectionery, without the payment of any duty whatever. Every person, therefore, who raised the cry of discountenancing slaver/ should beware of tasting such articles as he had enumerated. To him it was manifest that the preposterous anti-slavery cry raised upon the present occasion was undeserving of the atten tion of reflecting men, and he also felt convinced that whatever might be the Ministry of the time, whether it was Whig or Tory, or Radical, it would be impossible to main tain the present system of monop o l y and injustice. It was unfortu n ate that they differed from many extraordinary clever men en abstract points. He wished sincerely that the great body of the working classes would unite heart and soul, for if they did they might depend upon it the object they had in view would be obtained. The interests of the people, must be maintained, and it was matter of little moment or import.. ance to him or the people who remained Minister ; but when they found a body of men in office who were cordially united in carrying out this great question it would be of vast im portance, now that they bad set the ball ageing, that they should unite in k e epi n g it i n a steady mine. —(Cheers.) It mattered not to him whether a T ory or a Whig G overnment were in power. Thank God he cared for neither—(Cheers)—and he could assure the meeting that no exertion of his should be wanting to obtain the great good they had in view, which he felt certain would be found to he a blessing to the people of England.—(Cheers.) It bad been now found out by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Honse of Commons, that taxation had been carried to its utmost extent, and that no addition of taxation on the labour of the country would produce one penny in crease to the revenue ; and it was found that some new system must be adopted ; that system he would say should be, lessen your taxation on every article, and that would increase consumption. The saint argu ment that applied to the Corn-laws applied to sugar and to coffee, and every article imported.—( Oheers.) Follow that system up, and the people would be better off; they would have more money, and their wages would not be diminished but increased.—(Cheers.) Seeing his friend Mr. Pellatt there he could not refrain from mentioning one article with which he was well acquainted—be alluded to the article of glass ; that article was made almost entirely of materials found in this country, but did the trade in glass increase ? If it did, it was in a limited degree. Now, what caused that? Why, the excessive duty; but that was not the sole cause—it was because, for the purpose of protecting the duty and the revenue, the restrictions were such on the manufacturer of the article, that a foreigner could make four times as much in the same time as an Englisman could. He (Mr. Wood) had.asked his 'lived Mr. Pellatt whether he wanted protection against the foreigner? to which he replied, that all that he wanted was, that the duty should he taken off, and if it was, he would venture to say the manufacture of glass would be increased tenfold—( Hear, and cheers)_... and added to this, the wages of the labourer would be increased too. Were they, therefore, to quarrel among themselves about those matters ? %V lie should they not go heart and hand toge ther ?—( Cheers.) Why should they not try to get bread cheap. Niger cheap, and every article of life -cheap. Siich was the course that they should pursue, especially the labouring classes. It was supposed that they were on the eve of a new cleetion. If they were so he had no doubt that some Liberal Members would be sent to the House of Commons, although they had much to contend with, and although perhaps the new system of bribery carried on at Nottingham might be put in force-- (Loud cheers.) He had no hesitation in saying that the elec tions at St. Albans, Walsall, and Canterbury had been carried by bribery.—(Cheers.) That course, no doubt, would be pur sued again.—(Cheers.) He would tell hisfriends in Southwark that lie hail worked and would work for them.—(Hear.) He had now only to say that he cordially supported the petition as it was originally drawn up, and also the addition, as had been proposed, with respect to a property tax, believing that a t a x ought to be imposed o n p ro p er ty.—(Cheers.) He begged, however, to NJ' his friend (Mr. Stevens) who had proposed the addition, that a property tax, with ou t o p en i ng th e pa r t s , wou ld be gocelfor nothing. It was most gratifying to him to find his friend Mr. Weston, whose politics were different to theirs, come forward to support this great measure. In conclusion, be would only say that, whoever might be in office, this ques tion must and would be carried.—(Great cheering.) Dr. BEDFORD, amidst confusion, rose to propose an amend ment to the petition, to the effect that nothing short of a total repeal of the Corn-laws would be of may service to the country. The Doctor addressed the meeting for a short period amid con siderable noise and confusion, but finding no seconder to his amendment, it fell to the ground. Mr. JAMES WILSON then addressed the meeting. The question to which they had to give their attention was not one of politics, but of that practical improve ment which would affect every class of society.—(Hear.) He cared not from whom this proposition came, but he haled it with the utmost delight. The present Ministers bad come forward with a declaration that England should no longer be a dear country. With regard to the measures proposed he was not an advocate for an Bs. duty on corn. He had always advocated the total repeal, but still the proposition was a great one, because that they should have a fixed duty at all was an excellent thing. It would put an end to the sliding sole which prevented corn from coming to this country except when it was 80s. the quarter. He could not, however, give his unqualified approbation to this measure, because as they said in Manchester, a fixed duty was a fixed injustice. He considered that a fixed duty on corn gave to the landed in terests of the country a bounty upon every quarter of corn they grew. In his opinion, the only proper way to ma k e a d uty on bread was t o d o i t a t t h e mill. With respect to the effect of the restriction on the prices of food or the prices of labour, he would only say the wages were not a matter o f c h o i ce, b ut they were to be regulated according to the demand and supply in the market. That the Corn-laws increased disease, was apparent from every hospital in the kingdom. The Corn-laws in his opinion was not only a question of pounds shillings and pence, but a question of suffering, for it drew from the pockets of the labourer part of his wages. As to the slave trade in the Brazils, he had no hesitation in saying that, if this country made a just commercial treaty with them they would be pre pared to enter into a treaty with this country, relative to the slave trade. The course pursued by this country towards Brazil h.d rendered their eondition much worse than it would have been. Mr. Vouserer had resided in Southwark for forty years, and he was happy to see that in that boroughs upon a question of this sort all party feeling had been laid aside.—(Cheers and laughter.) Much had been said about the bad management of the Government, but looking at what they had had to do, he was surprised that they had done so much.—( Laughter. ) Had they not, he would ask, preserved peace at home and abroad ?—( Cries of no.) As there woaid be many meetings in the Borough on this question, he would beg of the Chartists not to attend these meetings for the purpose of throwing fire brands among them. What he would ask would be their corufi tion under the tender mercy of the Tories?—( Laughter. ) Did the Chartists want back into power the party who had made broad dear ?—(Cries of " No")—then what did they want ? (Cries of " Universal Suffrage.") If a eis,olution of Parlia ment took place, which was expected, he hoped every elector in the borough of Southwark, and every freeholder in England, would not give his support to any gentleman on the hustings who would not pledge himself to support free trade. —(Cheers. ) The petition, a , amended by Mr. Stevens, was then agreed to, as was also a resolution requesting Earl Fit zwilliam to pre sent it to the House of Lords, and the Member for the Borough to the House of Commons. A vete of thanks was then agreed to to the High Bailiff, and that officer having returned thanks, the meeting se parated. PRICE sd. CohN-Laws.—Public meetings in furtherance of the Re peal of the Corn-laws were held yesterday at Camberwell, in the parish of St. Bride's, in Aldgate Ward, Bishopsgate Ward, at Greenwich, and at Stratford-le-Bow. In the provinces there has been an important public meeting held at Birmingham, at Blackburn, and at Stourbr;dge. A petition also has been got up at Sheffield, warmly advocating a Repeal of the Corn and Provision laws, which, in a very short space of time, received the large number of fourteen thousand signatures. That many of the Charti is are turning Corn-law rcpealers, the fAlowing document will prove, which has been received from Kendal :—•• Notwithstanding the large public meeting on Monday night, the Town hall was crowded on Tuesday w.th an attentive audience of working men, to hear Air. Livesey, of Preston, upon the Corn-laws. The body of the Chartists and their leaders were there, and, at the closz, the speaker was vociferously cheered. Immediately a person in the centre of the hall proposed three cheers for the Charter. The proposer was immediately assailed by cries of Gang home with thee.' • What does thee want,' &c. &c., and not a second cry was uttered in its favour. The Rev. E.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ordinary practitioner. To e n t er i n t o t h e 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. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of IL," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. LIEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c. Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle" : Sia,—As I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your f e ll ow - crea t ures , I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night, the 31st of ,flay last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I was recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday-street,Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d. ' and applied it immediately ; an d t o my delight an d astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1 had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of tho thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know wh-re to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will be doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, &c. THOMAS SCHOFIELD. 52, Lower Thames-street, and 12, Marlborough_ place, Old Kent-road, July 6, 1840.

R E. ANIMATION. THE MEDICINAL EFFECTS of STEEL, as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for ages to excel those of all other articles of the Materia Medina, and in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it is not to be wondered that a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL should have attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe. When the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced to the most deplorable stato of nervous debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It las been ascertained, be yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex ; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de bility. When taken into the stomach they immediately diffuse themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the circulation, languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this medicine.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] SINGULAR CASE OF RESTORATION.—AII - instance of the almost infallibility of art over the operations of nature, and of truth over prejudice, occurred the other day in the family of a gentleman of high respectability in the country, and which tends to show, in a singular instance, the powerful virtues of Rowland's Macassar Oil. Owing to a well-known family complaint, that sometimes sleeps 'through one genera tion, a daughter of the above gentleman entirely lost her hair, so that she was obliged to conceal the defect by the aid of a cap and false tresses. After having done so for a period of two years, she was induced, by a medical friend, to try the effect of Rowland's 'Macassar Oil, with a view to the restoration of her hair. In the course of one month a fine down was elicited, which, by constant use of the Oil (rubbed on with fine flannel,) became, in six months, a fine and healthy growth of hair ! The satisfaction of the young lady is unbounded. [ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.— Extraordinary curo of Mr. John Holmes, of the Duck and Drake public-house, Cardigan.—From high and rather intem perate living his legs for these last ten years were greatly swollen, hard, and, knotty, and in colour a fiery red. From several dreadrul ulcers issued hot and acrid humours. The late Sir Astley Cooper and other eminent men failed to give him the least relief. The Ointment and Pills were for the first time used by him at the commencement of April. His legs are now both radically cured by the use alone of the Ointment and Pills. To be had at the Proprietor's Establish ment, 244, Strand, seven doors from Temple-bar, and at every respectable Chemist throughout the Kingdom. In pots and boxes at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., Ils., 22 5., and 335. each. The Voice Conductors, invented by E. Solomons and C0.,N0. 36, Old Bond-street, and I,old Jewry - , have proved cmi. nently efficacious in severe cases of deafness. They are not as large 1 as a fourpenny-picce, and, notwithstanding their small construction, no 'instruments extant hare proved of such advantage to the deaf. From their metallic vibrating quality, table.talk is rendered perfectly audible, and the wearer is enabled to distinguish the faintest inflections of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or pub lic assembly. E. Solomans and Co.'s Patent Spectacles are far superior to all those in modern ase ; they extend immediate and t continued relief in all cases of defective vision, enabling persons to engage their sight for any length of time, at the most minute , employment, either by day or candle-light, and are thus calculated to preserve vision unimpaired to extreme old age. No other im provement has been effected in spectacle lenses for the last 20 years, and as E. Sulomons and Co. have secured the exclusive disposal of them to their establishments by " Royal Letters Pa. tent,'' the public should be guarded against the various attempts of parties of a similar name to counterfeit the above invaluable as. ; it is therefore necessary that particular attention should be paid to their address, namely, 1, Old Jewry, City, and 38, Old Bond street, Piccadilly. Deaf persons, and those who are slightly dull of hearing, and find a difficulty to catch the sound of a distant low , when fitt e d i n t o t h e speaker at a public assembly, will find a most astoni s hi ng advantage from the use of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' n ew l y- i nvented cavity of the r ear ati is so Voiceemai l, ll , not C onductor,thea which est pt nor more un. invisible e f °l)ve comfortable than having a piece of wool in its place. B y t hi s ex— traordinary and valuable invention, not only d oes the hearing be. operativel pe rceptible, come acute, hut the cars are so much improved by their use, that individuals, in a great -number of instances, can hear most dis. tinctly without them. It will therefore be seen that persons do not incur any constant habit of being compelled at all times to make use of them, and in consequence of the numerous individuals having been altogether relieved from deafness, they have become in general use. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses immediately they are placed before very aged and imperfect eyesight, either by day or candlelight, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with exact distinct ness- Their valuable improvements in the material are secrets to themselves, and are solely confined to their es tablishments, 39.

PUBLIC MEETING IN SS'IUTH VV.-ARK IN SUPPORT OF TIIF, MIYIS TERIAL MEASURES FOR GIVING Tait!: PEOPLE CHEAP FOOD AND FOR. COMM ERCIAL REFORM. A numerous and highly respeotable, meeting of tl so electors of the Borough of Southwark was ye aterday held in 1 he Town hall, at one o'clock, Josue Homit E sq ., High Bailiff, in the chair, for the purpose of ta aing into conside ration the propriety of petitioning the Horses of Parliament to support the measures of her Majesty's, Ministers for incre aging the revenue by reducing the different duties on colonic 1 produce, in orderto avoid the imposition of new taxes ; and fe4! giving to the people cheap food and increased employment, by• reducing the duties on foreign grain, and thsreby enabling of her coun t' les to take our manufacture s in exchange for their produce. The meeting was convened in cumuli ance with a requisition bearing the signe.tures of about one hundred and twenty of the most respectable and influential firms in the Bo rough, and contai /sing the names of gentlemen of et rry shade ofpolitical opinic a , in proof of which we may of serve that while the first signature to the requisition, is that of Messre• 8., W., and T . Hawes, gentlemen whose liberal prii iciples are well known ; the second is that of John Western, Esq., the banker, one of the stanchest Conservatives in the Borough. At one o'clock the High Bailiff entered the Hall, a: ad was re ceived w'Lth loud demonstrations of satisfaction; he was accompa nied,by Mr. Alderman Humphrey, M.P., one of the Members for the Borough, who was loudly cheered, and was Alertly after wards followed by B. Wood, Esq., the other Member, whose appearance was the signal for the most enthusiastic .sheering. Among those present we observed Mr. J. T. Harris, M r. Cooper, Mr. Nrouslee, Dr. Bedford, Mr. J. Lonemore, Mr. Jackson, the Deputy High Bailiff, Mr. J. Curling, and M. Weston. The Max BAILIFF having taken the chair, addressed the meeting as follows :—Gentlemen, I have caused this i neetingof the inhabitants of Southwark to be assembled in compliance vu ith the requisition numerously and respectably signed. I feel it to be my duty, and it is also a pleasure to me, as the presid iirg officer of this ancient borough, to give its inhabitants the ar eplest opportunity of expressing their sentiments, not only upon those subjects which are connected with their owia locality, 'rut also upon those which affect the interests of the nation at large ; and I have the greater saeisfaction in calling together the inhabitants of this borough, because I know, from Long ex perience, that all their meetings are characterised by that libe rality and good feeling which render their proceedings orderly, and the duty of the Chairman not only easy but agreeable.— (Cheers.) I shall now cause the requisition to be read, and then, call upon those now assembled topropose some resolutions for the adoption of the meeting.—(Loud cheers. ) rhe requisition having been read, Mr. WESTON rose, and was received with loud cheering. Pie said be felt gratified at having been called upon on. the pre 'sent occasion to ;propose for their adoption a petiti on t o t h e Houses of Lords and Commons—(Cheers)—although he feared that the nervousness which he experienced in addressing so numerous an assembly would prevent him from doing justice to the subject. Those who were aware _that in political sentiments he was generally opposed to her Majesty's present advisers, might perhaps feel surprised at his coming forward on the present occasion, but he felt that the measures they were now proposing ought not to be discussed as mere party consi derations.—(Cheers.) They were measures involving the well-being of the whole community--(Cheers)—of the mil lions not only of this country, but of the whole world.-- (Cheers.) He had always been favourable to a change in the Corn-laws, and to that point he should particularly address himself in the observations he was about to make to them, not but what he agreed in the other measures of commercial reform which had been proposed by the Government.—(Loud cheers.) He thought the present a most favourable moment for considering the propriety of revising the laws relating to the importation of corn, because as there was not any great abundance of corn in the country, so that the shock of any al teration would not be severely felt, while, at the same time, our regulations had so discouraged the growth of corn in fo reign countries, that even with a duty of 2s. &1., which was the amount of duty during a portion of the last year, the amount of foreign corn in our granaries, together with the amount of uncorasutued British grown corn, would be barely sufficient to carry us on to the harvest Was that a situation in which any country ought to be placed by its Government ?—(Cheers. ) It was the first duty of every Government to see that the people werovided with a suffi ciency of the fi rs t necessar y of life.-(Cheers.) Let what would happen, the multitnde must be fed —( Cheers)—and he was satisfied that while the present system discouraged the pro duction of corn abroad, it did not encourage the production of it in this country to anything like the extent which had been supposed. The present system was, in fact, a complete failure.—( Cheers. ) It had not answered the purpose for which it had been devised, and was detrimental even to the corn-grower himself.—(Cheers.) Another objection which he had to it was the great irregularity which it occasioned in the money market—( Cheers)—and all those who heard him must be aware how much the derangements of the money market, occasioned by the operation of the Corn-laws, had tended to cripple the commerce of the country.--( Cheers. ) The disastrous effects produced during the last four years by the operation of the Corn-laws had been most extensive.—(Cheers.) With regard to the agriculturists themselves the measure proposed by the Govern ment left them fair protection. It was not such a sweeping measure as had been represented, and the proposed protection was in fact much greater than it appeared to be at first sight, The proposed duty itself was to be Bs. Now, before the corn could reach the port from which it was to be exported, a charge of ss. or 6s. per .quarter would have been incurred for car riage, and the charges for freight would amount to 55. or 6s. more, so that with the duty the agriculturists would still have a protection of 20s. a quarter, and if they were not able to grow corn profitably with a protection of 20s. a quarter, the sooner they left off growing corn in his opinion the better.— (Cheers.) It had been supposed by many that the effect of the tsovernment proposition would be to inundate the country with foreign corn. He did not apprehend that such would be the case. It might lower the price of corn in this country, and so far it would effect a benefit to the people of this court try ; but the principal good which he expected from it was, that it would raise the price of labour abroad to an equality with the price of labour in this country.—(Cheers.) If they could make the foreign labourer receive for his wages the same amount that the labourer received for his wages in this country, then the competition between this country and fo reigners would be a fair one.—(Cheers.) He believed that no mischief could possibly arise from the proposed alteration, and ,he bad great pleasure in proposing the petition for their adoption.—(Loud cheers ) Mr. W. HAWES, in seconding the motion, said that in the observations which he was about to address to them. he should endeavour to enlist their sympathies on behalf of their poorer fellow-subjects. He could not address them more appropriately than as fellow citizens.—(Cheers.) He appealed to them on behalf of the interests of the country against the class interests of the mono polists. —(Cheers. ) They had not come there to support one class to the exclusion of all consideration for the sufferings in flicted upon the rest of their fellow-subjects.—( Cheers.) They had come there to promote the well-being of the great macs of the manufacturing and labouring classes.—(Cheers.) The Government had brought forward a measure for the freedom of trade, by which that principle was not indeed carried so far as he could have wished it—(Cheers)—but it was a much greater measure than any that had 'ever before been brought before the country—(Cheers)—and he hoped the country would not forget to support those who had thus manfully come forward to the assistance of their suffering-felldw countrymen.— (Cheers. ) They had proposed to diminish the duties on many great articles of consumption. The first article to which he would allude was the article of timber. They were obliged to use bad timber instead of good, with a duty of 300 per cent., and the good timber was prohibited simply to promote the in terests of one class of traders 'only, and that class now inter fered to prevent good timber being introduced which, while it would be of great benefit to the country, would also increase the revenue. It was said that this was only a rich man's ques tion, but such was not the case. It was a poor man's question. The poor man was more interested in our having a supply of good timber at a cheap rate. than was generally imagined, for while the cost of timber for large houses amounted to only 10 per cent. on their value, the cost of timber for small houses amounted to 30 per cent. This was, therefore, a poor man's mea sure.—( Loud cheers.) That an increase of con sumption at a lower duty, tended to increase the revenue was proved by what had happened with regard to coffee. The duty had been reduced in 1824 on one species of coffee from 2s. 6d. to Is. 3d., and on another from ls. to 6d. ; the duty in 1824 on coffee amounted to 400,0001., the dnt.y at pre sent paid on that article amounted to 900,000/. They all now had coffee greatly cheaper, and yet the revenue had been enor mously increased. The tame thing had happened, to a less extent, with regard to tea. With regard to sugar, the Govern ment proposed still to leave a protection to the West India interests ; and those interests, to prevent this measure, which was for the general good of the country, being carried into effect, now for the first time professed that they were actuated by intense sympathy for the slaves, whose free dom they had so strenuously opposed only a few years ago.—( Loud cheers.) But that was only a shallow pretext for covering their want of sympathy to the suffering labouring classes in this country.—(Cheers.) They had not dared to appeal to them on the subject..-( Cheers.) They had boasted of their Operative Conservative Associations. Had they called them together and fairly stated the case to them, and then called for their opinion? They had not done it.— ( A voice from the crowd " Yes.") He should be glad to know where and when.—(Cheers.) Was there a petition stating that while foreigners paid 3d. per lb. for their sugar, we ought to be forced to pay 6d. per lb. for ours. Would any one sign such a petition ?—( Cheers and laughter.) Sugar was now become a necessary of life to the millions, and to the millions he would appeal.—(Cheers.) Would they support a tax upon those whose voices were unheard a nd unrepresented in. the louse of Commons.—(Cheers). They all knew what a little Inxury was, and they would strive hard to make this little more, and they would conte n d, for that purpose, against the monopoly of any class.—(Cheers.) He would contend for entire freedom of trade, for their right to buy, their commo dities at the cheapest market, and to sell their labour at the dearest.—( Loud sheers.) The next was the question of corn, a question including all the others, and which, if they could carry, freedom of trade must fall. The question of cheap food was the measure on which the existence of the Liberal Government must depend.—(Cheers.) The happiness of the people depended upon it. The question was, were they to have cheap living with plenty of em pl o yment, or d ear li ving with little employment. Tney found countries with plenty of food who were willing to take our manufactures, but who had nothing but corn to give us in exchange. We refused to take it. Other nations produced manufactures. In those nations food could be obtained at a cheaper rate, and the consequence was, they were underselling us. He did not ask for a free trade in corn without some protection, but he thought Bs. was too high a one ; but he was willing to accept it for the present, to see how it would equal their expectations, and let those who now supported the existing monopoly beware how they refused that offer, for it was not likely they would again have so good a one.—( Cheers. ) It was said that we ought not to depend upon foreigners for a supply of food, but we did depend upon them now for a supply of cotton, and the poor depended on them for food, although the rich did not. When the duty was high the poor could not afford to buy food although the rich could; and when the price was raised so high as to admit foreign corn, it must be evident that the poor then depended upon foreigners for the supply of food. Holland and Switzer land depended upon foreigners for a supply of food, and they never suffered in consequence, and why should we be so fear ful ? Why shou. d not we become the great depot for the Corn trade of the world?—( Cheers.) Then the landlords said they w ere entitled to protection on acc oun t of the taxes whi c h pressed on them ; but what proportion dfd they bear of the taxes ? In England the taxes upon the neces saries of life amounted to 73 per cent, of the whole taxation while the taxes upon land amounted to only 33 per cent., while in France the taxes upon land amounted to between 50 or 60 per cent. upon the whole taxation.—( Cheers.) There was a combination of class-interests in opposition to the proposed al terations which could only be met h -5 Combination on the part ;4K. • _ ,4 of the millions for whose benefit these alterations were pro posed—(Cheers)—Called upon the millions to rally round the standard of fret trade.—(Cheers.) Let the union be perfect, and let them take the present measure as a first instalment.— (Loud cheers.) To take a first step in the way of free trade, let the millions unite and crush the class interests. When the monopoly in corn was destroyed, the others must fall.— (Cheers.) Let them return only those Members to Parlia ment who were pledged to free trade.—( Loud cheers.) Let them not be misled by such extravagant assertions as had been recently made in the House of Lords.--( Cheers, and laughter. ) Let them get free trade, and then education would flourish, because parents would not th en b e o bli ged to send their children to the factories to earn a scanty subsistence, but would be enabled to maintain them by their own labour, and to afford them time for educe: tion. The factory question had long been a favourite with the Conservatives. But let them have a free trade, and factory laws would be unnecessary, because children would not be re quired to work in order to earn a scan.) , subsidence.—(Loud cheers.) There would be then no necessity to in este time in discussions on the Poor-laws, because there would then be an ample demand for labour, and an ample supply of food for these who would work, and those who would not work had no right to be kept in idleness..—( Cheers.) Let them rally round the banner of free trade which had been unfurled by her Majesty's Ministers, and her Majesty's reign would then be celebrated in the history of the country, as having be stowed the greatest blessing on the nation, by the destruction of a most odious monopoly.—(Loud cheers.) He had great satisfaction in seconding the motion. The petition, which prayed Parliament to support the measures of commercial re form which had been introduced by her Majesty's Government, was then put from the Chair. Mr. J. Ross rose, amidst loud cries of ".No Chartists," to propose an amendment. He fully agreed in the statements made by the preceding speakers, but had no hopes of obtain ing any redress from the House of Commons, as a present con stituted.—(Great uproar.) He looked upon this as a merely political ruse. The Ministers had never brought forward any practical measure of reform.—(Great confusion.) Mr. VOUSLEY rose to order, Mr. Rose was not an elector, and therefore could not propose an amendment. The Hien BAILIFF then addressed a few words to Mr. Rose which were inaudible, after which Mr. Rose sat down, observing that it had been decided he could not speak as he was not an elector. - Mr. J. LEE STEVENS rose to propose an addition to the resolu tion. He was fur the repeal of all protecting duties, and thought the principle ought to have been carried out in the petition. He had enough of party. Both Whigs and Tories, when in power, had neglected the interest of the people. He did not object to the introductory portion of the petition, but he thought they ought to go still further and petition for a tax upon property. Covenants were instituted for the protection of property—they paid for the protection of their persons by their liability to impressment and to their serving in the militia; and property ought to pay by a tax for the protection afforded to it. The enormous debt had been incurred for the protection of property at the time the people were not represented, and when they were called on to discuss fiscal questions they should go to the root of the evil He would therefore propose, as an addition to the petition, that the House should be prayed to support the commercial reforms of the Government until such time as Parliament should be induced to adopt the only just principles of taxation—via. ' a tax upon property.—(L ou d cheers.) He doubt e d not that some one would be found to second that proposition, although he had spoken to no one on the subject.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WESTON would second the proposition, and was glad of that opportunity of stating his opinion on the subject. He con sidered it an error to suppose that any great permanent increase to the revenue could accrue from a duty of Bs. a quarter. upon corn, because in times of scarcity it would be impossible for any Government to levy such an impost; it would be pre posterous, and what no Government could think of attempting. Therefore they must look to some other source of revenue. The aristocracy, whether Whig or Tory, were all alike, and were always doing every thing in their power to enrich themselves without thinking of the community at large, and therefore he thought that a property tax which should affect them, would be the best tax that could be imposed.—(Cheers. ) An ELECTOR in the body of the meeting here endeavoured, amidst unceasing uproar, to obtain a hearing in explanation of the doctrines of the Charter. They were called together, he said, for the purpose of taking into consideration the necessity of repealing the Corn-laws and reducing the price of sugar. He approved of their object, but they should also consider what were the motives of Lord John Russell in proposing them._ (Hear, hear, and cries of No, no.) He would maintain that the Ministry had not supported the interests of the people. They came forward with duties which were humbug and no thing but humbug.—( Uproar.) Let them give the people a fair price for their labour and they would not care what price was paid for food.—(Cheers and hisses.) It would be of no use to attempt anything until they were fairly represented in the House of Commons, and Universal Suffrage become the law of the land.—(Cries of Question, and great uproar. ) The speaker, who attempted to proceed in spite of the mani fest sense of the meeting, was at length obliged to conclude by moving the following amendment :—" That her Majesty be petitioned to dismiss her present Ministers, and to substitute such men as would fairly represent the people by giving them Universal Suffrage."—( Great confusion.) Another Chartist rose to second this amendment. • The meeting, however, refused to hear him, since he was not, as the requisition required, an elector of the Borough. The speaker in vain prote s t e d th a t h e was an i n h a bi tant, and that that was not freedom •of discuision. His words, spoken in dumb show, were completely drowned amidst the cries of the meeting; and he was finally compelled to give way, after this scene had continued for some minutes. Some discussiop subsequently took place as to the nature of Mr. Steven's proposition, which seemed to be considered not as an amendment, but an addition to the original motion, and which received the approbation of the meeting. Alderman Hymeneal' next rose and said that he should be sorry to find that in the midst of idle contentions they should lose sight of the great object which they had met to discuss. --( Hear, hear.) Whatever might be the nature of the reso lutions which they might adopt, they should enter into the con sideration of them with that calmness which their importance deserved. For his part he did not think that the Ministerial measures went far enough ; but at the same time he felt they ought to support them until they got something better.—(A cry of "'That will never be in your time," and laughter.) Ile acknowledged that there would be great difficulty in obtaining justice from the House of Commons, while the landed in terest predominated so largely there. He did think, how ever, that the claims of the people if perseveringly enforced, must finally prevail. He remembered that Sir R. Peel, in a debate in the House of Commons on the equalisation of the sugar duties on a former occasio n , d ec l are d t h at t h oug h opposed to to the measure his interest might be supposed to point the other way, as he had no concern in the matter but that of the great body of the consumers. No; he (Alderman Humphery) wished that the cou n t r y a t l arge cou ld b e pe r sua d e d that their interests were opposed to the continuation of the present pro tecting duties ; that they would rise unanimously for the repeal He only wanted them and every other constituency to force on their Representatives pledges to that effect. The monopolists had no objection that the people of England should purchase slave-grown sugar when the price reached 7d. or Bd., while they imposed a duty which amounted to exclusion when the price was low. It was the same with corn, which was only admitted under similar circumstances. Again, coffee, tobacco, and other slave grown articles were allowed to be imported into this country. He remembered that his Right Hon. Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets (Dr. Lushington) had told him that he spent 100/. in snuff—(Laughter) —and yet it was all slave produce on which he had no objection to lay out so large a sum. The fact was, that one could hardly believe that those who raised the Anti-Slavery cry were sincere, consider ing the many contradictions in which they were involved. For his part he was an advoeate for a repeal of all protection, and he thought until that repeal was carried that the people would not be fairly dealt with.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. B. WOOD said that he believed there never was a ques tion under the consideration of the people of England which concerned them so nearly as that on which those around him were assembled that day. He thought it was impossible for any one not to see that our welfare deeply depended on the commercial measures now agitated i n th e House of Commons. He wished to curtail as much as possible the observations he had to address to the meeting, but the nature of the subjeet would require some explanation. They had heard it stated that the Ministry were to be blamed for not having brought forward these measures at an earlier period; and he for one was agreed in that opinion. He felt that Ministers were to be blamed; but ought the people on that account now to determine on rejecting this measure? He could not certainly ap prove of such a mode of proceeding. He was one of a number of Members of the House of Commons who had before forced this question on the attention of the Government. More than than two months ago 140 Members had assembled, and entered into resolutions as to the course which ought to he taken for the purpose of raising the revenue sufficiently to meet the ex penses of the country, uid at the same time not to infringe on the fair and legitimate claims of any class in the country. The object of those Members was to enlarge the basis on which taxation should rest, and to open the trade of this country to every article of foreign produce, and at the same time not to press too severely on those particular interests of which they had heard so mach. They wished to admit sugar, coffee, to bacco, cotton, timber, and corn, on the payment of a fair and reasonable duty, and not to press on those who had risked their capital in a reliance on existing protections. What he was then stating was no secret ; their resolutions had been published, andediffused throughout the country, and that very morning the newspapers told them plainly and honestly and truly that the propositions lately brought forward by the Ministers of the Crown were the propositions of the Radical party in the House of Commons. So far at least those Members had fairly represented the wishes and the interests of the people of Eng land; and it was such men that the British constituencies should send to Parliament. The question of the Corn-laws had been so often and so fully discussed, that lie would not trouble them with any observations upon that subject. He would content himself with merely saying that he was amongst the most ar dent advocates for abolition. With regard to the article of sugar, there were a few observations which he wished to submit to them. It appeared that we wore now annually importing three million cwts. from our own colonies in the West Indies, and about five hundred thousand cwts. from the East Indies. During the last year, however, we had im ported a large quantity of slave-grown sugar, which, in conse quence of the high prices, had been able to pay the duty of 635. per cwt. But what was the price of slave-grown sugar at pre sent, and what was the price of the sugar of our West Indian colonies? The price of slave-grown sugar was now from 17s. to 245. per cent., while the price of colonial sugar was fram 455. to 475. It should be remembered at the same time that it had been admitted by Mr: - Gladstone, in the House of Com mons, that the slave sugar was of a better quality than the other. What was the consequence of that? The consequence e was that as tho price of wave-grown sugar here was .( t i h_ criterion of the price of sugar in foreign markets, our..P v e n in , hours in Germany and France, and the people of the United States, received their sugar at from 275. to 345. per s . v e t• the British public paid for theirs 50s. per cent., 7 g O Y were 001._ thus paying an extra price, upon sugar, 4 ( Hear, hear)—and sugar became an article of did not add to the revenue of the country, but went into the taxation which sugar to be e po ve c r k , e t ts ha o t f it t ‘ h r e eu l l V d e b st e h ln er d r ia ib n le p t la e u a t l e l rs ew . sia T r l e ie_y gr o o • w er n e o sold in this country, as they would give encouragement as i allowed to the slave-trade by that means.

Allowing the Sugar duties, therefore, to remain as they are, is tantamount to giving direct encouragement to slave-labour Sugar.
