The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec i,uus, which fsr some unaccountable reakon have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c 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 saving that there is no member of society, by whtim the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEProR, or a CLERGYMAN.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. THE METHODIST. 770 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—The Watchman newspaper has just declai ed in favour of the monopolists and monopoly, which is what was to be expected ever since Lord Sandon's hypocrilic ul motion. The reason is the Watchmen must do the 1)1(7- ding of Doctor Bunting, the Dictator Francia of Wes loyanism, though John Wesley, were he alive, would be one of the last men to uphold the bread tax, and op press the poor; he was too clear-sighted not to see how greatly want and starvation .damage religion, and he was not the man to damage . religion for any consideration on earth. I said the Watch man must do the bidding of Doctor Bunting, and he has long been an instrument of Lord Sandon, ever since his Lordship cajoled him in Liverpool, where the Doctor, a strenuous anti-slavery advocate, voted for the then pro-slavery Lord S a nd on , scan d a lising his friends, and astonishing the whole anti-slavery body, as well as all the Methodists. But while I talk of the Doctor, I beg to ask where he got his degree ?—not in England. The Colleges and tho Church he adulates despise him as a Sectarian. He is Apposed to Republics and Republican America, without a Church establishment, and yet he condescends to accept a diploma from Republican America rather than go without the title of Doctor, w hi c h, as a skilful and able divine, I admit he is well entitled` to, and it is cre ditable to the Republi can C o ll ege which sent him the title. P. W. CURIOUS INSTANCES 01.' LON- GEVITY. (From the Polytechnic Journal.) In the "Philosophical Transactions" the singular case of Henry Jenkins is recorded. This man died at the very advanced age of 169. A few years before his death he apptared in a Court of Justice, and gave evidence in a cause. The celebrated case of Thomas Parr, of Wen nington, Shropshire, is also detailed in the same publi cation. He died in the year 1638, at the age of 152. Dr. Harvey, who opened the body after death, states that he found it to be in a most perfect state. His death was caused by plethora, brought on by more luxurious; living in London than he had been accustomed to in his, native country, where his food was very plain and homely. Parr lived durirg the reigns of ten Kings and Queens, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. He married a widow after he was 120 years of age. He is said to have been a man of a very different stamina from mankind in general. When he was 151 years of age he was brought to London by Thomas Earl of Arundel, and carried to Court. The King said to him, " You have lived longer than other men, what have you done more than other men ?" Parr replied, " I did penance when I was 100 years old." His chief rules for longevity were well Inown :—" Keep your head cool by temperance ; your feet warm by exercise ; rise early and go soon to bed ; and if you are inclined to get fat, keep your eyes open and your mouth shut ;" or. in other wards, "be mode rate In your sleep and diet." Maffeus, a Portuguese author, who wrote a history of the East Indies, mentions a man of the name of Nuinus de Cugna, a native of Bengal, who died in the year 1566, ut the almost incredible age of three hundred and seventy ' years. Maffeus represents him to have been a person of great simplicity and quite illiterate ; but of so retentive a memory that he was a kind of living chronicle, relating:, distinctly and exactly, what had happened within his knowledge in the compass of his very long life, together with all the circumstances attending it. He had four new sets of teeth • and the colour of his hair and b ear d had very frequently changed from black to grey, and from grey to black. He asserted that in the course of his life, he had seven hundred wives, some of whom had died, and others he had put away. The first century of his life was passed in idolatry, from which he was con verted to Mahometanism, which he continued to profess until his death. J. Jacobs, a peasant on the estate of the Prince de Beautremont, lived to the age of 120. He travelled at that age from the Jura mountains to Versailles, to thank the National Assembly for having released him from the feudal yoke. He was received by all the Members stand ing and uncovered, was allowed a chair, and to sit with his hat on. A collection was made for him among the Members, which amounted to 5001. The tables of longevity published for the year 1817, in the Russian empire, give the following results :—Amongst 828,561 persons who died, all belonging to the Greek church, there appear to have been as follows :-1 above 140 years of age, 1 above 135, 7 above 130, 21 above 125, 51 above 120, 83 above 115, and 783 above 100. On the subject of longevity And mortality in Prussia, Dr.'Hoffinan states (11fedicinische Zeitung, No. IV., 1839), that during the 18 years, commencing lat of January, 1820, and ending 31st of December, 1837, the mortality in 12,626,379, being the average population of Prussia during that period, amounted to 6,653,167 ; of this number, 149,058 attained the age of from 80 to 83 years ; 67,754 that of from 85 to 90 years ; and 31,516 attained the age beyond 90. Thus 248,328 indi viduals, or 3,732 per cent. 6f the population, attained an age beyond 80. . rADVERTISEMENT. j INTERESTING TO LADIES.—The influence of the sun on the skin and complexion at the present season is frequently subversive of comfort to persons of delicate skin, by producing sun.bnrns, freckles, tanned skin, and lips parched and 'swollen. To oppose these innovations, the most infallible specific is Rowland's Kaly dor, a preparation from the most de lightful exotics, which not only by its use ensures the skin from the effects of summer's scorching heat, but never fails of re storing the skin to its pristine delicacy and whiteness. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing wash during travel ling, or exposure to sun anti dust ; and, from its extraordinary efficacy in allaying all incidental inflammation, deserves a place among the household treasures of every family.

( Abridged from the Liverpool Vercurv.) On Wednesday evening last, at half-past six o'clock, a pubic meeting of the w or ki ng -classes, convened by the Committee of the Operative An t i-C orn-law Assecia° inn, was held in Clayton svare, to exp ress t h e i r opinions. and petition Parliament on the subject of th e b read -tax. A little before the hour ap pointed, the anti-b rea d- tax-cart of the Association was placed a few yards in front of the Clayton Arms Hotel, furnished with a seat for the Chairman and a desk for the reporters, and on each side of it a lorry, for the better accommodation of the speakers and Commitee. The cart had several texts of Scrip ture, denouncieg the oppression of the poor, painted on its sides. Two h an d some s i lk flags were sported, one on each lorry, and besides these there were numerous flags and ban nerets of smaller size, pink and green, red arid blue,—the hostile colour at our election contests, symptomatic, we sup pose, that the que;tion for discussion was one apart from mere party politics, and involving the best interests of all classes of the community. B ut w h at excited most attention were a large loaf stuck upon a pole, and a piece of beef similarly exalted. Under the first was this inscription : s. d. This loaf, if we had no bread-tax, would co#*. 1 0 Landlords' tax ......... - 0 6 The price paid for this loaf to-day ... 1 6 Under the beef was written, " Hamburgh beef, 3IAd. per lb." There was also a su b stant i a l r ib of Buenos Ayrean beef exhi bited. The meeting was one of the most numerous ever as sembled in that place, the square being filled on all sides, with exception of the space behind the Chair, and the condemnation of the bread tax was unanimous, for the slight interruption noticed in the report could hardly be called an exception. Besides the members of the Operative Anti-Cnrn-law Com mittee, we noticed the following gentlemen on the platform : William Rat hbone, Esq., Lawrence Hey-worth. Esq., Christo pher Rawdon, Esq., Mr. Alderman Shei!. James Mulleneux, Esq., Robert Harvey, Esq., James Harvey, jun., Esq., &c. F.mn after the hour appointed, it sras piespoesel, seconded, and carried unanimously, that Mr. Kelly, a working man, should take the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the evening, said this was a meeting of the working classes more especially to take into consideration how they could most effectually obtain the object they had in view by a unanimous effort of their own, to procure the abolition of the abominable Corn- laws.— (Cheers. ) The major part of the speakers would belong to the working classes; and, in his humble opinion, the question was one which required very little consideration, because the question of the Corn-laws was one which came home to the feelings and interests of every poor-man.—( Hear, hear.) As a working man he had no objection to state in that large as sembly that he could not afford to give his children sufficient food.—(Hear.) If he could procure it cheaper he could in crease the consumption of food in his family by at least a third more.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He appeared there in another capacity also. He was not one of those to whom their opponents could say " Lay out your money to the best advantage and you will have enough for your family to eat." He had done so ; for the last five years and a half he had not spent . a farthing. in intoxicating drink, and yet with all his exertions; and notwithstanding his total abstinence for five years and a half, he had not one shilling to spare.—( Hear, hear.) If the working classes could obtain more food at a cheaper rate, they would be enabled materially to encourage the home trade; if they could save to the amount of 2s. a week, and that was laid out in encouraging their fellow tradesmen, would not that increase the home trade of the coun try very considerably? He contended that it would.—( Hear, hear.) If their resolutions denounced the Corn-laws as unjust and anti-Christian, and if any one thought that they were not unjust and anti-Christian, let him come forward and move as an amendment that they were just and righteous, aed then they would give him a fair hearing; but let him not attempt to meet them by any side-wind resolutions.—( Hear, hear. ) He had authority, however, for saying, that a deputation from the Chartist committee had waited on the Operative Corn-law Committee for the purpose of coming to a fair understanding and setting themselves right with the public, and they declared that they had no hand whatever in the factious opposition offered of late by an individual at the Amphitheatre meetings, and that they not only discountenanced that opposition, but were decidedly opposed in principle to the Corn:laws.— ( Cheers.) After a few further observations, the Chairman concluded by introducing to the meeting Mr. AMBLER, another operative. He conceived th at by th e repeal of the orn-laws the interests of all classes in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland would be most materially benefited.—( Cheers.) First; because the prin ciple of monopoly was an evil in itself.—( Hear, hear.) Mo nopoly meant, •imply and plainly, that one man or a class of men possessed that to which they had no right, and, con sequently, it followed that they • had robbed some other portion of the community of what they possessed.—( Hear, hear.) They might say that they were protected or sanc tioned by the law in holding those possessions which they did hold, but this, instead of decreasing the guilt, increased that guilt, and also attached some guilt to the people at large for suffering, for one single moment, any part of the population of any commonwealth to retain any such privilege. He then read the resolution, of which the following is a copy :—" That the misery at present existing among the masses of the people in this country is clearly traceable to the operations of the Corn laws, the effects of which are to lessen the demand for labour, and increase the price of food." It might be objected, that because the Corn-law was not the only monopoly existing in this country, all the misery, all the evil and destitution could not be clearly traced to the Corn-laws ; but let them examine a little. Now ha contended that this Corn-law was the sove reign of all monopolies, and if opce.that_great monopoly, which was full of evil of all descriptions,. tiecisfQ it 'detracted from human happiness, and especially from that of the great mass of the people—if once that monopoly were de stroyed, a great many more would follow.—( Loud cheers.) He was himself a Radical or Chartist; he was one in heart and mind ; he himself was on the bloody field of Peterloo, and had a bullet shot th roug h hi s h a t w h en ° the people were assem bled to petition for the repeal of this very law.—( Hear, hear.) Yet he was told by individuals who were with him on that field, that because the middle classes who had now come fors ward to support them in obtaining a repeal of this law did not support them then, he was now to vend against that right for which he contended on that day.—( Hear, hear.) Now, if they were right then in petitioning for the repeal of the Corn laws, were they not right in doing so now ?—( Hear.) He was not surprised to find the Ministers of the Gospel, and especially those of the Established Church, absent from their ranks—because it was a Minister of the Gospel, the late vicar of Rochdale, who led on the yeomanry at Peterloo ; he was not surprised at the inconsistency between their practice and their professions, because in nine cases out of ten these men had their livings presented to them by the aristocracy, and the best of the church livings were in the girt of sonic great landowner.—( Hear, hear.) They had indeed a duty to God and to their flocks to perform, but their duty and their interest were two different things, and they had an easy way of satisfying their consciences. They said "We have stone those things which we ought not to have done, and we have left un done those things which we ought to have done, and there is no help in us," and then they were out of the scrape.— (Laughter and cheers.) Though many charges were made against the present Government for not bringing forward mea sures to ameliorate the condition of the people, yet they had brought forward many measures which had been destroyed by those who were now bent on setting the people against the middle classes.---( Hear.) Nothing had been done because the balance of power was equal; and why was it so? Because the working classes were divided amongst themselves.—( Hear. ) Mr. 3.IICHAEL &maroon, in seconding the resolution, said he was called out that night as a working man to do his duty— he was called out by the voices of his children crying for bread —he was called out by the conviction of what he had suffered, of what he saw and heard, that the Corn-laws were, to all intents and purposes, grinding him down to the face of the earth—he was called out for the purpose of trying all that lay in his power to bring the working men, who were the back bone and marrow of the nation, to join in one solid and Lilted effort to get the Corn-laws repealed.—( Loud applause.) lie had never yet seen in Liverpool any system brought for ward for the benefit of the working men that the working men themselves were not. the first to cry out aeainst it. It was a belly question, and there was n o cont e ndi n g against hungry men —( Cries of " Hear, hear.") Let them be united in this cause. As long as they were divided one against another they could not do away with this tax, but let them unite in one great effort, and it must be repealed. He did not look to his wages in the bulk—he did not look at a piece of money because it weighed heavy—he wanted it to fetch a large weight out of that brick building (pointing towards the market). What was twenty-five shillings a week if he only got employment for three days in the week ? Or, as his friend Robert Jones said, what was the use of having W. a week if it would not fill the cupboard?—( Hear. hear.) That was the way he looked at it, and all working men should look at it in tl.e same way. If his bread now co•t him 6s. a week, and he could get the same quantity for 4s. it the Corn-law was rep-ale& be should have 2s. a week to go to the shoemaker or the tailor that he never had before. That was the way he looked at it, and in this way he would have 2s. a week more to throw into the labour market than he ever had before. WILLIAM RATIIBONE, Esq., came forward to support the resolution, and was received with great applause. He said it was always a pride and a pleasure to him to come amongst them in support of anything that was right and just,—yes ' in sup port of the rights and liberties of th e p eo pl e . But there was no fighting for liberty unless a man had a full belly. Starva tion was the destruction of allliberty, for who could fight when ha was at death's door? No one ; and this was the question, a question of the grave, that was now before them.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Rathbone I was suffering from the Corn laws, but he was in the parlour. He might be crushed down ; he might get into the kitchen and the cellar ; but the man who was in the cellar already, where was he to go to ? The grave alone could receive him and his wife and children.—(Hear.) That was the receptacle where the weary would rest from his labour; but was that a state for happy England to be in? Was that the state the people of Liverpool wished to be in ?—( Hear, hear, and " No, no.") Let him call on the people then to exert themselves for their own salvation. A former speaker had said, that the middle classes were behindhand • to that he (Mr. Rathbone) said N o; h e said that the middle classes of Liverpool, at least the reform ing classes of Liverpool, had been urging on the people for the last fifty years to know their own interests; that they had en deavoured to educate them, and to give them principles, so that knowing chat was right, they might do it ; but had they done it ? If Liverpool had been polled within two years from that time for the repeal of the Corn - laws , the majority wou ld h ave been against it. He said that deliberately and with out f ear of contradiction from any man who knew what h e was speak ing about.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The peopl e h a d had a fallacy bef o re them ; they had been told th at cheap bread meant low wages; ihey had been misled by the T or i es, and like fools—he b gged their pardon—but he must Fay, that like fools they had believed it. Now one word for the Li berals; had the people of Liverpool enabled the Liberals to do their dill ? Had they sent Representatives who were friendly to cheap bread, cheap sugar, and free trade in tim ber ? Let them answer that, and tell him whether they had done their duty?_(,, N o .") Robert Jones, who spoke from hie heart, and, therefore, what he said came to their hearts— Robert Jones had asked them whether a man in th e M ersey, swimming for his life, would not exert himself more t h an one who was werein merely the s seeking for would he ask one of the middler a casket of riches ; but if R o b ert Janes class to come forward and assist him without trying to save furnished me witlL goods himself. Did they want a man in broad cloth, and with a few coins in his pocket, to ask them to do their duty to their wives and families? If they did—if they required him (Mr. Rath bone) to call them forth because he had a few shillings more in his pocket than they had—before they would be true to themselves and to their wives and families, they did not deserve to be saved. Let them come forward and do their duty ; ,let them spurn the bribe and those who dealt in bribes, - and if any man said to them, ~ you have honestly, and I have paid you faithfully, and therefore I mist have your vote," it would ill become biro M r . R ulabolie), u a Magistrate, to say, " Kick him out of doors," but if such a case did come before him, he should say, " The provocation was great, and the fine ought to be small," if they did serve such a fellow in such a manner. ..4 Laughter and applause.) One word in favour of the present Ministry. They bad not shown on all occasions that sympathy with the people which they ought to have shown. That was their fault and the people's misfortune. But they had now come forward ; they had said, " There shall be no class interests in future—all classes shall be fairly represented ;" and the people ought to give them power to do that which they had promised to per form. If the people did 'mot give them that power, the fault was the people's ; if they did, and the Government-failed to avail themselves of that power, he hoped that they might suffer for it, and that the country might be convulsed if they were not true.—( Hear, hear.) Yes, he said it advisedly. If the Ministers were not true to the declarations they had made, may a revolution be the consequence. He (Mr. Rathbone) had something to lose, but he would be in the ranks if they forfeited the pledge they had given.—( Hear, hear.) They were all now in a drowning condition. Let. them require no influence to induce them to do their duty to themselves and to their wives and children, and the God of heaven would prosper their undertakings.—( Cheers. ) The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said that the next speaker, Robert Jones, though a man well able to express his views on this great ques tion, was unable to read, and he (the Chairman) would, there fore, move the resolution for him. Before doing so, he ob served that had former Governments done their duty, the great mass of the population would not have been kept in ignorance, and that if the people did theirs, the parties who were willing to vote 70,0001. to build stables for the Queen, would not dare to refuse 30,0001. for the education of the people.—( Ap plause. ) He then read - the second resolution, which was as follows :—" That these laws, which wring from the wants of the poor, in order to support a monopoly to the wealthy, are cruel, unchristian, and unjust; alike opposed to the Word of God, and the happiness of man." ROBERT JONES, in moving the adoption of the resolution, said that, like some hundreds, if not thousands of them, al the property that he had in the world he had with him—all the estate that God and his father had left him on the earth, and that English landlords would allow him, he held up to them (holding up his hands.) These were all his property, and he found that, in consequence of the Corn-laws and other wicked laws, he was robbed of so mueh of the produce of his estate, that he and his children had to rise many a time from the table with half-filled bellies.—( Hear, hear.) This was not a cause of party or faction—i t was the cause of the whole human family—it was the cause of justice and truth—and the cause of God and of humanity.—( Applause. ) As to those who had votes, he neither asked them to vote for Whig, Radi cal, or Tory ; he asked them to give their votes to that man that would take the tax off the bread of the working men of Liverpool ; he asked them not to support the man that by his votes would rob the poor. When they heard the sigh of the widow or the voice of the orphan crying for bread, and when they knew that there was a law in existence, supported by a miserable minority of monopolist landowners, which robbed the widow and the orphan of their ford, was not that enough to make every man possessing the feelings of humanity come for ward and endeavour to repeal that law? A tax upon bread ! A tax upon life itself—a tax on the very existence of the working man—a tax on eternal justice, and on the providence of God. —( Hear.) God sent untaxed rain to water the earth ; God brought untaxed corn out of the earth ; God had spread a bountiful table for the whole family of man on the face of the earth, but man put his avaricious hand on the bread, and snatched it from the hungry lips of the people of England ( Hear, hear.) And would they give their votes to men who told them to their very faces that they would never vote for the repeal of the Corn-laws ?—(No, no.) He called upon them as fathers, he called upon them as citizens, he called upon them as men and as Christians, never to give a vote to any man un less he would pledge himself to vote for the repeal of the Corn. laws, and all other taxes on the food of the hard working men of England.—(Loud cheering.) In the first place let the Members of the Church of England mind to whom they gave their votes. The Church established by law taught them to pray for their daily bread, and yet these fellows said, " If thou gets thy daily bread the Church will tumble to the earth." What a Church that must be which was supported on the starvation of millions.—(Hear, hear.) He called upon the Wesleyan Methodists to remember that when their Divine Alas. • ter saw the multitude hungry, he had compassion on them, and worked a miracle to fill their bellies with bread ; and would the Wesleyan Methodists, who professed to be the strictest of his followers, give their votes to men who gave their votes in support of a law which took away the bread of the widow and the orphan?—( Hear, hear.) And as to the Catholics, he would ask them, in the name of fou r m illi ons o f Iri,h Catho lics, who were scattered about to the lour winds of heaven sent from their own homes through hunger—in the name of three millions more, who were common beggars in their native land, and knew not in the morning where they would lie at night—in the name of two or three millions more, who were working at fivepence ' a day, and paying for the taxed bread of the British landowner—he asked them, in the name of millions of their fellow-countrymen, would they give their votes to men who told them that they would support such a system as that? —( Hear.) They were told, and they believed it too, and it just showed their ignorance, that if they got free trade they would all fall to ruin directly.—(Laughter.) Many of these fellows said, " Let them read the Bible." It would be a great blessing to the working men of England if they all had a Bible, and if they would act by the Bible. Now, the first movement toward free trade in tngland was abolishing the monopoly of the Honourable East India Company ; and what were the con sequences? They were told that the ladies would•not get their tea if the monopoly was abolished, but what were the conse quences? According to their own return in the last year of - their - monopoly the exports from England to China and the East Indies were only 1,872,000/., and five years alter the monopoly was done away with the exports from England amounted to 4,600,0001.—( Heir, hear.) And this was just the system that was to ruin them. Why, if one man was em ployed before in the China trade, it was as plain as the sun that shone that day, that instead of one man there would be four ; and this was the way to increase employment, though these wiseacres of fellows said it would ruin them. (Mr. Jones alluded to other similar cases.) He looked upon all monopolies as the most foolish things in the world. They reminded lem of the monkeys in Exeter 'Change. Every one of them had his own share in his own dish, but like fools, instead of eating out of their own dishes, each set about stealing from his neighbour, never dreaming of the slopping and waste that they were mak ing.—( Much laughter.) It was just so with the monopolists. " rob one,—thou shall rob another," and so they went on stealing from one another.—(Much applause.) Then they had the monopoly of the coffee and sugar,—a most tremendous monopoly, and he looked upon it in little better light than the monopoly of corn. Last year they sent a petition to Lord Sandon, for the repeal of the Corn laws, and he said, " Here's a petition from Liverpool,—the place that I represent. It is signed by about 40,000 people, but I really cannot agree with it. I know better than they do. They are a parcel of . ignorant, stupid fellows, and I am sure that I'm a Lord.—(Laughter.) I was born a lord, by the mere accident of birth, and I must be wiser than they are. I know very well if these Corn-laws were repealed it would be their ruin, and I must speak against their wishes to be their salvation."—( Laughter.) It was the same thing with sugar.--(" We won't send him again.") If they got the Corn-laws and the Sugar-laws repealed he did not care if they sent a donkey up. A man might have a skull as this kas a Jackass and yet be born in a palace ; he might be born a Lord and yet have a skull as thick as that cart shaft. Men ought to raise themselves by their own merit, and such men ought to go into the House of Commons. Now, as to the sugar laws, hundreds, if not thousands, of those present, knew what their effect was. There was sugar at that moment in Liverpool which could be bought at IL 4s. per cwt if the monopolists would let them buy it ; but they had to give 7d. a pound for their sugar though they could buy it at 24d. —( Hear, hear.) But what did Lord Sandon say; ? 0, they were all fools, and it would be the ruin of them to have their sugar at 20. a pound.—( Cheers and laughter.) Then came the West Indian monopolists, and they were a very grand set of men to prey upon :he working sous of toil in England. He was one of those who sail that all the wealth of the country came out of the hands of the working men, that labour was the foundation of all the riches in the world.— ( Hear, hear.) Therefore he said, that the working' met) of England had to give to those fellows—Gladstone and co.-2.5/.a head for every man, woman, and child, to set. them at liberty, just to make them knock off a pair of chains from the legs of the black man and his family—( Hear, hear)—and now these fellows said, " If you don't give us 565. a cwt. for our sugar, instead of giving the Brazilians 245. for theirs, it will be a robbery of us, and only look to the destruction of your trade." —(Laughter.) Now the highest value of the exports to the West Indies was three millions worth of goods in a year —and the Brazilian, had taken, year after year, seven millions worth of goods more than the West Indies —( Hear, hear.) They were told that they must not take the sugar of the Brazilians, because it was the - produce of slave labour-'-and yet Lord Sandon and his friends were smoking cigars, and putting snuff up their noses every day, though it was grown by the slaves of the United States—and because the poor man wanted cheap sugar, they said, " Oh, no ; that would be horrid in the sight of God, and in the sight of human nature. You mustn't encourage slave labour."—(Much laughter.) Oh, the hypocrites! Need he ask them again if they would vote for such a man ?—(" No, no.") The landl gds told them the repeal of the Corn-laws would lower their wages, but the landlords knew very well that it would raise their wages. The year 1835-6 was a year of prosperity to the manufacturers, and they imported 30,000 men out of the agri cultural districts into the manufacturing districts of Lanca shire and Yorkshire to supply the labour market, and they knew that if the manufactures of England must he increased they would not get a man in England to work for them (the agriculturists) at Is. 2d. a day. They knew this :as well as he did. Mr. Alderman Ross, of Carlisle, had taken the trouble to calculate the whole amount of wages paid in that city at three different periods. He found that in 1836, when wheat was 4os. a quarter, the wages paid in that city amounted to 127,000/. ; in the year 1838, when corn was up to 70s. (and when it was so thousands of the working-classes were hurried into eternity by typhus fever and other diseases, consequent upon want, before their time,) in the year 1838, when corn was 70s. a quarter, the wages paid in Carlisle amounted to 109,000/. ; and in le4o, when corn was 78s. a quarter, the sum total of the wages paid in that city was 70,000/.—( Hear, hear.) Thus, when corn was dearest, the working-men received upwards of 40,000/. less to buy it with. —( Hear, hear.) When corn was dear they could not buy a suit of clothes ; they could not buy a hat, or a pair of shoes ; they could give no work to their fellow-work men. All their money was absorbed in food ; and the difference in the price all went into the pockets of the landlords. —( Hear. Look at the state of the country under the operation of this law. In Manchester, in the years 1834, 1835, and 1836, the sum total of the cases taken into the Fever Hospital averaged 400 a year, _and in those years wheat averaged 40s. a quart er . In 1838, 1639, and 1840, when wheat averaged 755. a quarter, the average of fever cases taken into that hospital was 1,309 every year for three years.--(Hear, hear.) It was as plain as could be that they had to live upon potatoes, and that thousands of men, women, and children had been hurried into their graves before their time in consequence of nothing but the operation of the Corn-laers.—( Hear, hear.) It was as plain and simple a thing as could be to account for men being thrown out of work by dear food. In cheap years working men could lay by something, say 2s. a week, for manufactures ; hut when corn was at 80s. all the wages of the working men were absorbed in food; they could find no work for the spinners, and hence it was that thousands of persons were thrown out of em ployment.—(Hear, hear.) They dare not lay suc h a tax at the mill, or the oven, or the baker's shop ; but they managed by their Corn-law to extract fifty millions a year out of the packets of the working classes for the support of about 20,000 landowners. There was not another nation in the world where such a thing was done—and would they give a vote to those w h o supported such a system ? He was a working man him stlf, and he called tiepin them, as working men, never to let t hi s s iltation fad to the ground until this alieminable law w as taottetiont of the statute book.--( Loh cheers. ) Mr. WENTY.ra, in seconding the resolution, urged the disc i tors to do their duty, and rerainded the nen.elector3 tilas they PRICE 5d also, women as well as men, had an influence which they ought to exert at the coming election. They would be false to them selves, and false to their country, if they did not mark as an e b n re e a m d ythe tax. Inlan who hey wevseuppot en supported e b v y e word, of o ag en r era ded l e ef o ee r tie r n ot ; e, th th ey e should remember the agitation and popular enthusiasm that made men ashamed to be such base and sordid wretches as to sell their birthright for a mess of pottage, and they should re fleet that the power which carried the Reform Bill could Carry a mightier Bill than that—the fool ) The present Parliament had sate for nearly fire years. Supposing that a man had got 901. for his vote at the last election, and that he Ear! a wife and six children to support. On a calm lation, which he believed to be very accurate, such a man would have to pay lOs. 6d. a week more for food than he would have to pay but for the present corn and provision laws. 'I hat was what he and his family suffered from the present system. It was equivalent to about 26/. a-year, and this would mount to con•iderably more than 100/. from the time Parliament had sat; so that in reality when amen got 201. for his vote the landowner robbed him of 1001., to say nothing of short and uncertain em ployment.—(Hear, hear.) Those who were determined to traffic in their votes ought, at all events, to consider what they lost by the system, and each of them demand to be paid 1001. or 1201. instead of 10/. or 201. for his vote.—( Hear, hear. ) This was not the last meeting they would have. It was in tended to invite the working classes to bring their wives and children out in a great and mighty procession, to show the feel ing of the working classes of this great town on the subject, and he hoped that the demonstration would strike terror to the hearts of the enemies of the people, and make them quail be fore the public voice which once before wrung from the oli garchy of England the Charter of the Reform Bill.—( Loud cheers.) LAWRENCE HEYWOR TH. Esq., spoke at some length in support of the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. JAMES HARVEY moved the following resolution:— " That a petition grounded on the foregoing resolutions be for warded to Thomas Thornely, Esq., in the House of Commons, and Earl Fitzwilliaro, in the House of Lords." He said there was one plait, question which he wished to put ; he should like to ask the landowners of England by what tenure they held their lands ? They held them of the Queen, as the repre sentative of the State, and what was the State ? There was only one answer to that question—the people were the State. and the State was the people. The landowners originally held their lands, and every lawyer would tell them so, upon condi tion of their defending the State.—( Hear, hear.) They had now overthrown the condition, and yet they kept the land. Let them be cautious ; they were stimulating the people to in quiry, and that inquiry was more dangerous to them than to any other class of the community. They- were putting them selves in opposition to the large towns of London, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dublin, but let them beware.—( Hear, hear.) In the history of Europe there was an account of a great league, called the Hanseatic League, which was a combination of the arge towns to stop the depredations of the surrounding Barons.—( Hear, hear.) Let them beware. Between those barons of old and the landlords this difference draw,--they robbed by fire and rapine,—these by law.—( Hear, hear, hear.) He believed that those laws, unless they were repealed, and repealed soon and totally, would lead to this,—they would make every street a battle-ground ; they would make every house a castle,—they would bring father against son and son against father,—they would make every lane into an ambush,—for the people were getting into that state of mind that they believed a short and sharp struggle better than the continual fever of agitation, dis content, arid privation. —(Hear, hear. ) WILLIAM Hien, a working man, in seconding the resolu tion, said that he was one of the white-faced slaves of Lan cashire. He had bread enough, and his family had enough, but he had come that morning by the railway from a place where they had not half nor a quarter enough.—(Hear, hear. ) The article which he manufactured now, and sold at 6id. or 7d. per lb., in 1814 cost 6d. per lb. in wages alone, and the beautiful protection of the Corn-law had protected it down to 31 per lb. There was protection for them? He was amused the other night at the Amphitheatre by a man who cried out for a tax upon machinery. Now, in the article of which he was speaking, he could tell Mr. Dix, if he were present, that neither needles, bodkirs, nor goose had been added to the machinery, it all ran through the fingers yet, just as it did when it cost sixpence a pound net workman's wages.—(Hear, hear.) In Lamentations, fourth chapter, ninth verse, they read,—" Better is he that dies by the sword than he that is clammed to death ," and he could tell them that in Bolton, at the present day, there were people gathering potato peelings eut of the streets, and washing them and eating them.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and" :Shaine.") That was a fact, as true as that h a nd be • longed to his body. And he had seen people running after the carts as they came from the breweries, and stealing the grains out of them and eating them.—(Cheers.) Let them remember that dod helped those who helped themselves.—( Hear, hear. ) What, then, must they do? They must make a determined effort to help themselves, and then God would help them out. --(Loud cheers.) They must clap their own shoulders to the wheel, and then it was sure to go forward. Some of their op ponents said it was too late; but it was never too late to do well.—( Hear, hear.) If it was too late for those who had come to years of maturity, it would come in well for their children.—( Great cheering. ) The CHAIRMAN having put the motion, which was carried unanimously, said that' the petition would not be sent to Lord Sandon for presentation.—(Cries of " God forbid.") This meeting would strike terror to the hearts of their opponents. Mr. Rathbone, who had been in the habit of attending pub lic meetings in that square for thirty years, assured him that he never saw so large an assemblage there before. Mr. Alderman Slum then came forward to move a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and was received with much applause. He said that he had been in the habit of attending meetings in that square, and he never saw so many people assembled there on any previous occasion.--( Cheers.) Re had heard them ad dressed by working men in terms which it was impossible for any men in the community to surpass. Sound doctrines, just principles, and the most correct views of the true interests of society had been laid down, and if they followed the advice of the intelligent and honest working men who had addressed them they could not fail to succeed. When the people were deter mined on gaining any point—and that point was founded on justice and equity—no power in this or any other county was capable of withholding it.—( Loud cheers.) If they did not achieve what they wished to achieve, the fault rested with them selves and with nobody else. It was not the fault of the Legis lature, or of the middle classes, but their own, for they alone by the power of numbers, and by the force of their voices, could make the tnembcrs of the Legislature who insisted on this detested monopoly give it up. Tha middle claises might petition and pray to them and endeavour to carry conviction to their minds, and it was their duty to do so; but they would never accomplish their object until the working classes achiev ed justice by the force and loudness of their remonstrances.— ( Hear, bear.) He had great pleasure in moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman who had so ably presided over them, and who must feel it a great honour and happiness to have pre sided over one of the greatest meetings ever assembled in the town. The motion was carried by acclamation, and the Chsirman having briefly returned thanks, three tremendous cheers were given fOr the repeal of the C orn-laws, and, at about half-past nine o'clock, the immense assemblage quietly dispersed. CORN AND POPULATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—lt is placed beyond doubt that since the period the " food monopoly" was created, the population of the empire has increased at the ratio of 36 per cent. at the least. Making all allowances for improvements in the agricultural processes, has the - native production of food increased five per cent. ? I think not ; but he must be a bold " Buckinghamite," who would attempt to prove that the increase of native ',food has been one-fourth as great as the increase of mouths to eat it. Now, Mr. Editor, will you oblige a simple " bagman," by telling him, though these laws might have been equi table when they were enacted, how in the altered rela tion of supply and demand can they be otherwise than intolerably unjust now ?

Six,—l cannot approve of the conduct pursued by so large a portio n of my Chartist brethren in their opposi tion to the present agitation for a repeal of the Corn-laws. I attach, probably, a greater importance than they do to the abolition of the several monopolies now under dis cussion. Possessing no faith in the sincerity of the Go-• vefrunent in regard to their professed determination to effect the abolition of the several monopolies which ob struct our commerce, as well as our social and political advancement, I am of opinion that, monopolies once repealed, no influence of whatever Government will be sufficiently powerful to effect a re-imposition of them ; or to postpone, neutralize, or destroy the grand and im measurable advantages which will flow from a liberal and comprehensive system of free t ra d e — t h at, i n f act, free trade will be the Whigs' master, as well as their own and the country's benefactor." Having drawn up a petition to the House of Commons, I am glad to say that in the course of two hours we ob tained not less than one hundred and five signatures. A petition in favour of the Corn-laws is also in pro gress here, under the auspices of the aristocracy and their dependents ' • and I regret t o say that ministers of the Established Church have become the most zealous promoters of its success. In the church of a neiobouring parish the Clergyman, on the Sab bath-day, exhorted his hearers to sign a petition to uphold the Corn-lacl A labouring man inquired the purport of the petition, intimating that if its prayer was for a continuance of the laws, h:,4 should object to attach his signature. " Oh, do not hesitate to sign it," replied the clergyman, "it is all right—its object ZS to put down Socialism and Chartism.' . But a vol ume wou ld not contain the misrepreselations imposed by the clergy and flint-hearted aristocracy on the weaker understandings and unsuspecting minds of the oppressed and almost famished labourers and me chanics in this neighbourhood. Our petition prays for an abolition of all monopolies, whether in relation to land, or corn, or to the Parlia mentary franchise ; and I trust that my Chartist bre thren, in every part of the empire, will no lonbgerhesi tate to promote so important and valuable an v is e_ et A LEAMINGTON CHA ---- • v APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE. —We have refrained, from motives of delicacy, announc ing a forthcoming marriage, which has excited the greatest curiosity and interest in the highest circles of society. It is now generally known in those regions that the young Prince Nicholas E;iterhazy is to be married at the beginning of the ensuing year to the lovely daughter of Lady Jersey. This promessa sposa is twenty-eight years of age—the future bridegroom twenty-four. The young Prince it was generally thought was to be married to the daughter of one of the Sovereign Princes of Ger many, a marriage to which his exalted rank and im mense territorial possessions fully entitle. him.

LEADERS. _ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SC. V. SIR,—You must have observed that' the chartis. leaders and lecturers are every where in motion, itp,:et-' ting the free trade meetings wherever they can. W 7 iv pays their expenses? is a question asked every where. observed at the Sheffield meeting on Monday, .a man named - Bairstow,- who was-brought there from a distance. He was accused of being hired, and.he told the meeting that he was paid by " the suffering working men." Orr Wednesday morning, at ten o'cloCk, I saw the same per son on the hustings, at the great open air meeting in this town. He proposed to movean aulendnient, Which was written in a small book, which he showed to the Chair man; and I observed that it was condemnatory of the Corn-law, but at the same time expressing a want of confidence in the Whigs—there was nothing about the Charter. The meeting would not allow him to speak. Now, Sir, let me ask, through your paper, who are " the suffering working men," that paid him for coming to Manchester? Will he name the Society, Chairman, or Secretary of working men who supplied him with the .. money to come to Manchester, to try to overturn a meet ing called by 5,000 requisitionists, all working men, to pro test in favour of " the total, immediate, and uncondi tional repeal of the Corn-laws." Mr. Charles Wilkins, the Tory barrister, who brought Nightingale to Walsall, was at Bairstow's elbow on the platform; and it is known that this gentleman cashed a. check the day before, for 150/., drawn by the Duke of Buckingham on Jones and Loyds' Bank.—l am,.

SIR,—By inserting the following in yotir valuable Journal you will much oblige, yours, A CONSTANT READER.' MEN OF ENGLAND,—A general election is at hand, and it is the line of conduct which you pursue at this momentous crisis that must determine the destiny of yourselves and your children's children. We have been advised by agents of the Tories (under the name of Chartists) to return at the ,flext election Chartistsif we can, but, where we cannot4ive must'•send Tories ; that is to say, we, must either return men (which they know we cannot) who will give us every item bf our demand, or accept for our representatives those who will .give us nothing, and rob us into the bargain. But, I ask, because we cannot have men who will give us the Charter, are we to despise the advocates for household suffrage and free trade, or the opponents of religions tvranity ? Yes ; ac 7 cording to the organ of the Tory Chartists, we are to press to our bosoms men who tell us we are ignorant, 7 and not fit for the franchise ; we are to adopt as our representatives those who admire Church• rates, qithes, • Easter Dues—men who love taxation, monopoly, and war, and hate the idea of the'people having cheap food, cheap government, and equal rights. We are to smile upon and cajole the men who would, had they been in power, have hung Frost, Williams, and Jones, and sent , the Lovetts, Collinses, and Vincents to Botany Bay ; but perhaps those who are their paid tools _might have staid at home. And will the working men of England follow this advice ? will they be the dupes of Men..who denounce Hume, Colonel Thompson, Mr. Place, and Mr. Roebuck as turncoats, and who have slandered and, abused Lovett, Collins, Burns, and a host of real patriots, for daring to think for themselves. No ; 'take not the ad vice of men who are paid to barter your freedom, but choose those men for your representatives whose prind ples and opinions approach nearest those of your own. I remain yours, A real Chartist and staunch Corn-law Repealer, and an admirer of Hume, Colonel Thompson,.

(From an article, - dated St. Petersburgh, in the Alige-. meine Zeitung.) This trade is based on a mere interchange of uns.res speetive national . productions. On the -, part of tlit: Chinese, it consists chiefly in the barter of .tea for va rious kinds of Russian produce and manufactured anis cles. In the regular course the traffic commences be tween the dealers of the two nations in January, and' concludes in March, during which period the Itussians obtain about 80,000 chests of different sorts of tea, about one-half of which is destined for the annual July fair of Nislmi-Novogotod, and the remainder is conveyed toMoscow, and other towns of the interior. This barterfornrs . one of the principal branches of Russian industry, and has a very beneficial influence on other commercial operations. The traffic is always active and flourishing, for there is constantly , a great demand for the .tea imported by the way of Kiachta, and many Russian products not much in request in the home market, are disposed of in large quantities to the Chinese. The transport of the re spective articles is very difficult, and, in consequence of the great distance they are conveyed ; a • long period, mast necessarily elapse before they reach their destina tion. The transport gives employment on the Russian side to the population of 5,000 versts of country, for such is the extent , of the distance between Perm, the most eastern !town of European Russia, and Kiachta, the extreme • eastern point of Asiatic. Russia. To this population .the) , < ,trade affords not only a sufficient subsistence, init:eva a considerable surplus gain. The Russian manufapterk chiefly in re quest by the Chinese are woollen stuffs and Llo.hs, suek as ladies' cloths, Dutch camlets, &c The manufactory of the Counsellor Alexandrov;in Moscow, produces these articles in the quality and fcrm beSt suited to the fences ' tic taste of the Chinese. Next in order may be men tioned Rubnikov and Son, the brothers Babkin, and Bob rohtov-Maikov, also of Moscow, as the most success ful manufacturers for the Chinese market. They have distinguished themselves by.the strange forms and fashion they give to the articles, the produce in pieces of from 2!) to 40 arshins, and of different prices according to the qua lity. Last year4o,ooo pieces of Russian cloth were sent to Kiachta. The other goods in request are plush, stuffs, leather wares, particularly the favourite leather of Casan, and peltry, more particularly the lambskins of the Ukraine. . All these articles are exchanged for tea; large capitals are therefore employed in carrying on this trade. Thq value of the Russian merchandise sent last year to Kiachte exceeded 24 000,000 rubles.. The quantity of tea imported amounted to 80,000 chests, of which 35,000 were of the finest sorts, the remaining 45,000 being of inferior quality. There are about thirty different species of tea. Of the green, which is distinguished from all the others in form and taste, only from 100 to 200 chests are imported. ,There is a very remark able kind called tile tea, the leaf of which resembles a tile in form, and has also much solidity. It is pre pared in quite a different manner from common tea, being stewed with milk, butter, salt, and herbs, and served up as a dish. It is accordingly rather an article of food than a beverage. The Russians do not use it themselves, but sell it to the Armenians and Tartars; who distribute it to the Caucasian provinces and Eastern Siberia. The Calmucks, Kirgheses, and Bursae con sume the greater part of it. Besides tea the Chinese bring other articles to Kiachta, the chief of which are satin, grape, pipes, toys, cakes of ink, and colours ; but the value of these does not amount altogether to 30,000 rubles banco. Before the Russians, the greater number of .whom remain only a short time at Kiachta, offer to bar ter they meet and draw up in common a price cur rent, to which they strictly adhere. It saves theni much trouble in their dealings. The Chinese appear far more eager to get off their tea than the. Russians are to exchange their manufactures. • The former have seldom anything left at the close of the Market, whereas the Russians often hold back consider able stocks. After the Russo-American Company. which has a great share in this trade, the most considerable Russian importers of tea are the Kolessovs, Lobkovs, and five other mercantile houses in Moscow, Bassin in, Kiachta, and Medvednikov in Irkutsk. The great ad vantages of this trade, not only to the Russian mer chants engaged in it, but to the inhabitants of the inter mediate route of transport, was rendered strikingly evi dent by the failure of the harvest and consequei it dearth in 1838-9. The employment then afforded by thisoctraffic ps•oved a great relief to the poor people of -t triew.
