It Was ARRY BALDWIN, Esq., M.P., in the Ch air, moved by STUART DONALDSON, Esq., seconded by CHARLES LEE, Esq, and _Resolv e d unan i mous l y, That th e l atest accounts from New South Wales represent tb" demand for labour in that colony to be more pressing and * . trynt than at any former period ; wag - eshad risen enormously, 72"ytt.re exi-ected to be still higher ; the flock owners were finable to obtain shepherds at all approximating to the number alliolutely necessary for their proper care; great apprehen awillr,were . entertained that moot of the forthcoming harvest. v ‘x il promised to be very abundant, would perish in the fields a v : d 'ant of a sufficient supply of labour to reap and store it; NI a ll the great interests of the colony were very seriously. _ rn anger, d from th e alarming deficiency of labour. A Co letttee of th e L eg i s l at i ve C ounc il,of which the Bishop of A ustra ws Chairman, in their Report to the Council in September Zistale, that "Every department of industry is cramped; no undertaking. public or private, can be prosecuted ex vet at an inimei.se expense, owing to the exorbitant rite of w ages, and th e i nconc eivable difficulty in procuring workmen, servants, or mechanics, upon any terms whatever; there is no ? a rt of the col ony in which it may not be truly said that there il al , &viral dearth of binds to carry on the ordinary business. the instance o f sk i e f p farming, the distress arising from want 0 ` shepherds is almost ineredibl , . Thus a very fatal check is t ut upon th e a d vanc i ng p ros perity of the Colony." s was moved by 'THOMAS Icybev, Esq., of New South Wales, s econded by ALEI3NDER SMITH, Esq., of Liverpool, and Reselre a' unanimously, That in the opinion of this meeting it is in the highest de fro" important that the supply of labour from these kingd oms New south Wales should be encouraged and promoted by all Practicable means, and that every possible facility ancl encourage :ffowt, consi s t en t w ith the existing law of the land, should be ded to all persons engaged in supplying it. In a. Report of the Committee of the Legislative Counc i l of New South dales, they state "that to permit immigration to be suspended checked in its extent, would be to seal the death-warrant ~felonial prosperity, and to expose to certain ruin the heated flourishing and extending interests which have been ter! in the Colonyland it may also be truly affirmed that any in the supply of labour to New South Wales is also cal -Ivd, by reflection, to be highly injurious to the best inte ts of the Mother Country. , s4k ; t ,,ssas moved by EDWARD DtvErr, Esq.. M.P. , seconded 91 a ' lo llx GitcnßlST, Esq., of Glasgow, and * Nt- ft ltesotired unanimously, i- * Xtat In Meeting considers - The Bounty of Emi- V q°ll .", ovhiel was originated and established in the Colony , If i,70 Colonial authorities, under the administration of Sir tgj p j i ißourke, to have been a most valuable means of ob wng the necessary supply of Labour, and to have conferred benefit on the Colony. It is estimated that upwards of sh."'u persons emigrated to New South Wales last year under ( I s2Peration of the Bounty system, and in the present year, au there is reason to believe that a vastly increased supply a _.'"u be furnished under this invaluable system, if left, as here "sre, to the energy of those engaged in sending it out, 141 abackled by the imp os ition of unnecessary and o b s tru c tive ` 'conditions 4 In their estimate of the great value of the Cunty system, this Meeting has the entire c on c urrence of Sir or ge pps who, in a despatch to the Secretary of State fa; the Colonies, present , d to, and printed by order of Parlia teeth, says " the Bounty system , howe ver, has been found so f ar u "or to that Of Governm ent Emi g ration, both as to the d pef. escrOon of persons supplied by it, and the cost ", their, passage, . that it appears to me very doubtful whether any other should be persevered hi ;" and in another de sPateh the Governor , spea kin g of the Re p ort which had then rec ently t been presented by the Committee on Emi g rati o n in the Colony to the Legislative Council, thus expresses himself : : I ' lam in no way able to dispute the correctness of the con usions of the Committee, in respect to the superiority of the ' r unty system over that which is carried on by the immediate per of Government. The Bounty syste m is found to be 4/. head, or about 21 per cent. cheaper t h a n the Government 1 1stern, reckoning men, women, and children all alike, and m aking no difference for the quality of the emi g rants ; but if Luis difference be taken into consideration, and especially the ~,1 1" iler proportion of children introduced b the Bounty sys rf, the advantage of that system must he estimated consi 7erably higher, and I sin inclined to think with the Ccrnmit r, that 200 Government emigrants cost as much as 300 a ,eunty ones of equal value to the Colony." This, it should be "!inctiv borne in mind, is the voluntary testimony of the Go lernor of the Colony, in his official communications to the "eretary of State. As respects that most important consi deration—the comparative 'tate of health on board Govern tent and Bounty ships conveying passengers to New South . n'alee, it was stated in evidence before the Committee of the "".14at•v Council at Sydney in 1839, that the relative loss of • ail the voyage was as follows, viz. :-- Government BOunty Ships. Ships. Of the aggregate number on board lin 16 ... lin 34 Ditto of Adults ... lin 45 . lin 99 Ditto of Children 2, 1 the Report of the Committee of 1840, on Immigration, pre sented to the Legislative Council, of which the Bi sh op o f A ustralia was the Chairman, the Committee state—" In pri e ship s ,under the Bounty system, there were embarked 884 ..dolts, viz., 423 Males and 4t31 Females, and 170 Children— itghty male and hinety female. The register of deaths among gern has not been preserved, as will be found stated i n the Ndence. As, however, no ships of this class have been placed it i quarantine during the past season, it is reasonable to believe, 14 1 it is, indeed, a matter of general notoriety, that the irnmi kanta by Bounty ship-have arrived invariably in a state of good Ith:end that the casualties at sea have been exceedingly few." LivaS and by JAMES JOHN CUMMINS, Esq., seconded by Nxii. CAMPBELL, LsQ., and Resolved unanimously, That thus proved beyond all quectien, as the superiority of Pplioutity system has been, as a medium for supplying labour to Colony, it is a duty of the most urgent obligation on the V rt of the Government of this country, to encourage and pro -4_ • that system by affording every possible facility and free tauus. fr om all unnecessary interference with those engaged in la ttll .4 it un, consistent with the provisions of the existing 2,42', the lard, and the stringent regulations in force in c," Noah Wales. as respects all persons introduced into the ''.lo l:iy under the Bounty system. It was moved by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., seconded by ROBERT Bitooxs, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting has learnt with g reat alarm, that, acting Issder the representations made to him by the Colonial Land d Emigration Commissioners, the Secretary. of State for the .. silonies has permitted them to interfere seriously, and most t !'isriously, with those engaged in conducting Bounty emigra ,'so in virtue of authority from the Colonial Government, and under strictly-defined conditions and regulations on the p art of t hat Government; that the Commissioners have actually Issu e d certain " conditions" of a most oppressive, and, as this Lseeting entirely believes, wholly uncalled for nature ; which Conditions" are a direct infraction of the contracts entered r i ts by the Colonial Government with persons reside nt in the e.I 1611 y, the effect of which , if perse v e red in, will, this Meeting h ay re ason t o believe, be the immediate and large diminution ‘lt th e supply of labour under the Bounty system , and its even t and early abandonment by those engaged in it. e yed by Jolts LAMBERT, Esq., seconded by HENRY FLOWER, Esq., and That unanimously, lhat these consequences, so pregnant with cause for alarm, tIo and so greatly to be deprecated , will have a p owerful tendenc y th diminish, if not almost entirely to stop , the sale of land in Colony ; the source,svhence the means of furnishing the 44 .1ajsite supply of labour is derived, inasmuch as in the event rr f th e aftels owners being comp . elled to diminish their flocks, a 's the impossibility of obtaining shepherds and labourers_, a 3' cannot require any increase of pasture, nor will fresh littal be invested by others in the production of the grea• ; t4 ple o f th e Colony: thus the means of defraying the c o s t of ' 4 11 veying out emigrants will b e seriousl y endan g ered. sved by WILLIAM WALKER, Esq, seconded by GEORGE HAY DoNALDSON, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting is desirous that all practicable security / ' t l' l comfort should be afforded to all persons emigrating under h._ Colonial Bounties ; and is of opinion that the all-sufficient rvisions of the Passengers Act, and the stringent regulations, , I gidly enforced as they are, by the Colonial Government, as , 4 Pects the introduction of labour under its authority (with ilkt- full and literal compliance with which the parties intro- Zeil.ss it cannot obtain payment of the bounties), afford ample rte.stion and security to all persons proceeding to New Oath W o ks at the Colonial cost ; and this Meeting is fully i v t, a rne o u t in this view by tees of the Legislative Counc;l, acting d ived th e appo intment of the Governor. by J.

PERRY and CO. having effected considerable improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a &Tont: Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which they have united with their First Patent, under the title of " DOUBLE PA TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals, and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it cannot overflow, whatever may be the change of temperature, and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for four or six months. PERRYIAN LIMPID INK. This Ink has a flowing property peculiar to itself, and does not corrode Metallic Pens as other Inks.—ln Bottles, 6d., Is., and 2s. each _ Sold by James Perry and Co., Patentees and Manufacturers, 37, Red Lion-square, London ; also by all Stationers and other Dealers in such articles.

THE CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo derate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitu tion, or, on their way to the consummation of that deplorable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous sys tem, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total im potency, barrenness, &c. But the relief administered is not confined to these alone. The valetudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and un prolific frame; the delicate female, whom an immured and in active life, together with the immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and is, without timely assistance, sinking into an un timely grave. Constitutions relaxed, weak, or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this restorative. Old coughs, a:thmas, and consumptive habits are soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs will, ere long, meet the happiest change . the chill, watery fluid will oecome rich and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and beautiful, It is remarkable for its efficacy in all dis orders of the digestive organs, and is especially recommended to those who, age, from the irregularities of youthful habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symp toms commonly denominated the nervous. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

The Policies are Indefeasible and indisputable, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent misrepresentations. Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission, in communicating information, in answer to the numerous questions put by other Companies, has the effect of annulling the policy, and forfeiting the premiums—thus rendering it in general a matter of uncertainty (until the claim comes to be made) whether the policy be of any value. The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to obviate whas they consider injustice to the assured, satisfy themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before they enter into the contract of assurance, and frame their po licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to their validity, and thus render them indefeasible and indisput able nocuments of future debt against the Company. The po licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain available future funds, and as unimpeachab'e and negotiable documents for pecuniary transactions. One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven, Years, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions and Family Provisions than any other plan which has been sug gested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums. Parties may be assuredwither Upon the participating or non participating plan ; the former are entitled to the whole of the profits upon that brailtir of the business, arid the latter are as sured for the lowest premiums compatible with perfect security.

Bath ..... 11 Gloucester 9 Cheltenham 16 " From the River Severn TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Messrs. DAVIS, At the George Hotel, in Stroud, on WEDNESDAY, the 26th day of May, at Twelve o'Clock at noon, in one or more Lots, unless previously disposed of by Private Contract, of which due notice will be given, comprising a Mansion-house, with sixteen and a half acres of land attached. The Mansion contains, on the ground-floor, a vestibule, entrance hall, (lining and drawing-rooms (the la+ ter in fine old oak wainscot), servants' hall, kitchen, brewhouse, dairy, and other convenient offices, and particularly good arched wine and beer cellars underneath. On the first floor, six bed chambers and two dressing-rooms (one of them a bath-room), and a full-sized billiard-room, furnished. The attics supply four good servants' bed-rooms. A handsome verandah extends along the entire front of the house. A large portion of the furniture may be taken by the pur chaser at a valuation. The Mansion has the best aspect; the situation is beautiful, web ,heltered, and healthy, and affords an abundant supply of excellent water. The Outbuildings comprise a coach-house, with standing for three carriages, stabling for five horses, and a loose box, saddle, and harness-room. The House is surrounded by a lawn, and flower garden tastefully laid out, at the back of which is a very productive kitchen garden, surrounded by a wall planted with very choice fruit trees, near to which is an extremely productive orchard. In front of the house are this teen acres of very rich meadow land, finely timbered, and divided by iron fences, with abun dance of water and shade for cattle. Connected with this land are a farm-yard and two good tenements for out-door servants, and three other cottages and gardens. There is a family pew in the church attached to this property. The house may be viewed between the hours of two and five o'clock after the Ist of May, by cards, on application to Messrs. D. and T. Davis, the Auctioneers, at Stroud; and printed particulars and conditions of sale may he had on at , - plication to them, or to Mr. Lawrence, of Cirencester, after the Ist of May. SIGHT AND HEARING. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, (Opposite the York Hotel), and 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOI.OMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTS to the ROYAL F JtIILY, 39, ALBF.MARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a. public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen %jib great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim * all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am. ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well kn,)wn to the public, and tile vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority: From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, 111. D. , F.R.S., &e., &c. . " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, arid is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and l'►iny, as also by Parks and Heins, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vi:ron, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not. constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are . r.ly to be nad at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank. AS Manhood approaches, the human form , coun . tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, ra pidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of will and injurious indulgence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought front the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which should have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of iernorse, disappointed hope, and disease; an,: we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint et' syphilitic po;son, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling emoy ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should re store; and, on the other hand, that unworthy principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrassment ofirhe attracted. All classes of society, the Angli_lndian par icularly, and those whose constitutions are enfeebled by the effects of a tropical climate, as well as such as are about to enter intmatrimonial life, are Included in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the result of many years' successful practice. Daily attendance is given for personal conalltat and immediate answers are returned to country 'letters which must minutely de scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world however distant.— No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine willjbe securely packed, and carefully protecte i from observation.

THE ATTACHMENT OF BIRDS TO MAN.—A curate in the county of Kildare, in Ireland, some time ago, related the following anecdote of his neighbour, a worthy, good sort of a man, who carried on the cotton printing business, and who, although once in very pros perous circumstances, became after, in consequence of a change in the times, very poor In his mill-yard was a gander, which had been there forty years; he was the finest and the largest bird of his kind I ever saw," said the cu rate, •‘ his watchfulness was excessive ; no dog could equal him in vigilance, or be more fierce in attacking strangers and beggars ; he followed his old master wher ever tie went, and, at his command, would fly at any man or beast, and, with his bill, wings, and feet, he could hurt se verely. Whenever my neighbour paid me a visit, the gander always accompanied him, and I was liberal of oats, having one or two geese in my yard ; he would, besides, come up and give me a gratuitous call before his master rose in the morn ing, but neither the oats nor theblandishments of thefeathered fair ones could keep him long away, and he soon solemnly stalked back to his proper station at the mill. Year after year I perfected my friendship with " Toby," the gander, and certainly had a share in his esteem, when, one winter, after being confined to the house for a severe cold, I in.. quired in passing through the mill-yard for my friend, whom I could nowhere see. " Oh, sir," says a man in the mill, who had been about the place as long as Toby him.. self, " Toby's gone." " Gone where ?" " Oh, he's dead." H ow dead ?" " Why, sir, we ate him for our Christ mas dinner." Eat him!" I think I have been seldom in my life more astonished and shocked ; positively I would have given a fat cow to be eaten, could I have saved poor Toby ; but so it was. Upon inquiry, I found that the poor man had not the means to buy his Christmas dinner, that he was too proud to go into debt, and, determined as he was to give his people a meat dinner, poor Toby fell a sacri fice to proud poverty."—lndicator. THE PROPOSED ROYAL PARK AT TIIE EAST END OF TDB METROFOLI3. —Lord Duncannon has expressed a strong desire to comply with the wishes of the inhabitants of the east end, and to afford them every faci ity in forming a Royal Park in the vicinity of the Tower Ham lets. His Lordship has, however, stated the inability of Government to sell the Crown lands for the purpose of sinking their produce in the formation of the proposed park, as the public had paid half a million for those lands. Lord Melbourne and the Marquis of Normanby have also declared their approbation of having a proper place for the recreation of the inhabitants of the densely -crowded vici nities of Whitechapel, Tower Hamlets, Upwards of 30,000 persons have signed a memorial to her Majesty in favour of the park.

Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster -row, London; Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham street, Manchester ; and may be had of all Booksellers. By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re quests attention to the following notices -- " Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and having read every system of short-hand Leonid obtain access to—having myself a collection of about sixty different systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to me, y, , u are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc tion and order of your lessons I think a more rapid progress may be made in the knowledge, not only of your particular system, but of the principles of the art generally, by your book than by any other I have seen."—Let ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. "The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lesions ar e such a , we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothim , ' better adapted to the wants of students of short-hand could be de sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier. . . " From the clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct the learner, it is one of the best works en short-hand that a student can possibly lay hold of ; and, viewing it in comparison with other works on the subject, we do not think it has a com petitor."—Manchester Times. " We hare looked through this treatise with much satisfac tion, and believe we are safe in recommending it to the atten tion of all intending students of the art, as the most complete, sensible, and practicable system ever brought under our notice." --Manchester and Salford Advertiser. " The arrangement of the lessons is at once novel and ex cellent., and the instructions are conveyed in clear and perspi cuous language. We have no hesitation in saying that the learner needs no other instructor than this little work to enablehim to acquire the art, and to practise it with success." —Leeds Times. „ \Ve have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on the subject that has yet been published;”—Post Magazine. `lr. Templeton's character as a short-hand writer, in con nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his system." —Manchester Chronicle. " Mr. Templeton's great experience and general accuracy as a short-hand writer entitle his observations on the teaching of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of 3lr. Templeton's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal of his work, we have formed a very high opinion of its merits." _Leeds Intelligencer. " Among the best works on this branch of science is one lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentleman who has been a long time connected with the English press, and who is as skille I in the practice as in the theory of short-hand writirw."—Dublin Pilot. ,‘ The exercises given only require a little attention to be understood; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr. Templeton's six lessons as guides, if the learner possesses ap plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac quire, in a short time, sufficient knowledge of shorthand to be able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Duhlin Evening Packet. - 46 We have read this little book with great care and attention, and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best treatise we have ever read on the science of short-hand. It is the practical work of a practical man. Nothing is laid down by the author as proper to he done that he has not himself found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had some fifteen years experience in the Law Courts, at public meetings, and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet. " Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac tise it, as they see it every day used by those connected with the Press, will learn ' the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to lose at once their money and their time—will deal with the advertising quacks who profess to make men accomplished stenographists in a few days—they might as well profess to teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced learning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton professes no such thing. He gives six good lessons in short. hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with sour& advice, that requires only to he followed to be most prefitable."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger. " After giving Mr. Templeton's book a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in recommending it as tne best work on the subject we ever happened to meet."—Bolton Free Press. , "l'he student will find this a simple and easy system. The alphabet, the prefixes, and terminations, as well as the arbi traries, appear to be easy of acquisition, and judiciously selected for rapidity in writing, while the rul?s and exercises are so plain and succinct that they cannot be misunderstood."—York Herald. " To those who are about to engage in tl e study of this use ful and interesting science we would point out this cheap little work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the carrying out of the system laid down will enable them to realize most of the great and important advantages connected with it. It is written by a practical man, one who has had many years experience in short-hand writing, both for his own private purpose and for the benefit of the public in connection with the newspaper press in some of the largest towns in this country."—Yorkshireman. Besides these the opinions of nearly fifty other periodicals might be quoted, all of which speak equally in favour of the merits of this little work.

PRICE sd. REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH. ( From the Ipswich Express.) We last week announced the intended retirement of Sir Thomas Cochrane from the representation of this borough, upon the dissolution of the present Parliament ; since then the " why and the wherefore" of the divorce of this politi cal union has been bruited abroad. The real state of the case is now fully ascertained. A letter has been addressed by the Hon. and Gallant Knight, to numerous persons, who, it appears, have claims for certain electioneering debts, and who have been most woefully left in the lurch. This letter fully exculpates the Honourable and Gallant Knight, and shows an open and straightforward dealing, and at the same time a zeal for his party, which command respect and justify his high character as a gentleman. The following extracts embody the principal facts : " Early last summer," says Sir Thomas, "an offer was made to me of standing for the representation of Ipswich, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament. This led is conferring with several gentlemen, at which I set out with most distinctly stating that I was not a person of large income, and could not afford to go beyond a certain sum in any con flict I might enter upon. Ihe descriptions given to me as to the probability of success and the extent of liabi lities, were encouraging ; but our negotiations went off, in consequence of my declining to keep myself dis engaged for a vacancy . at whatever period it might offer. Mr. Gibson's resignation suddenly and unexpect edly occurred, and I was immediately applied to, to en counter a contest ; but declined on the ground that, as I could not engage in two contests, I must hold myself free for the contingency of a dissolution. I was then extremely pressed to change my determination. I was told it was of vast impor tance, to prevent the intrusion of a Whig or Radical into the borough, and that if I did not undertake the task,the seat would in all probability be lost ; and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly declared, that if I would consent to make the attempt, he would guarantee that the expense on my part should not exceed a certain sum, and that he would give me a letter to the leading men of Ips wich to that effect." On Sir Thomas's arrival in Ipswich he had an interview with one of the leading men, and he goes on to state, " my first step was to place Mr. Kelly's letter into his hands, containing the conditions on which I had come down ; his reply was, that he did not see how it was to cost so much. This answer having perfectly satisfied my scruples," &c. " Before the day of election arrived," continues Sir Thomas, " I had paid the whole sum I had, on my departure frordton don, stipulated to advance, and I left Ipswich after the elec tion, under the conviction that I was as free from any pecuniary obligations to that place, as if I had never heard of it. Within two or three weeks after, I received a letter from Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, asking me to pay a certain further sum on account of the election. 1 was not a little surprised by such a demand, and particularly coming from him, but still I paid it without any comment or observation, feeling that, at all events, now my pecu niary obligations were definitively discharged. Not long after this, Mr. Kelly told me that, on a recent visit to Ipswich, he had been informed that there were outstanding debts there, due for previous political occurrences, to the extent of nearly 2,0001., and that, unless these demands were liqui dated, the Conservative candidates would suffer upon any future election . ; that he had agreed to pay 1,000 1 ., and suggested whether I would not pay the remainder. To this astounding information I scarcely knew how to reply, and I recapitulated to Mr. Kelly all that passed between me, himself, and the gen tlemen of Ipswich. Mr. Kelly admitted the truth of my state ment, but at the same added, that if the money were not paid both our seats would be endangered ; he afterwards requested me to receive a communication from 'Captain Fitzroy, which contained little more than a repetition of what Mr. Kelly had stated, with the addition of his own opinion, that the people of Ipswich were determined to have the money paid, and that if I did not come forward they would find some other person who had two or three thousand pounds to spare, and throw me over, and I closed the discussion by repeating my determina tion never to accede," &c. Sir Thomas then goes on to state—" It was not till the month of February (1840) that a further demand was made upon me for nearly bOOl, which has been the more immediate cause of the dissolution of my connection with Ipswich." Sir Thomas, after expressing his surprise at the new demand, recapitulating all the circumstances attending his first coming forward—his unwillingness to do so on the ground of expense, his consenting on the clear understanding that the expenses should be limited to a certain sum, concludes by stating that his anxiety that the Conservative cause should not suffer by a rupture, was such that he would engage to meet the demand of nearly 5001. provided he found upon a future election that • he received that fair and honourable support he considered him • self entitled to. " The gentlemen to whom this proposition was submitted, , have, in other words, given it to me as their opinion, that it will not meet the views of the electors of Ipswich, and feel ing convinced, in my own mind, that nothing but the pay ment of the greater demand, in addition to the 5001., will , secure to me the entire support of the Conservatives of Ips wich, and that the apprehensions entertained by Captain Fitz ' roy are about to be realised, I consider no alternative is left me but to terminate my political connection with Ipswich." NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. (Abridged from the Nottingham Review of Friday. ) Yesterday (Thursday) evening a meeting, consisting of be. tween three hundred and four hundred of the Liberal electors of the town was held in the Exchange Hall, to hear Mr. Lar pent, the Liberal candidate, deliver his sentiments on his first appearance in the town of Nottingham. Lord RANCLIFFE, having been moved into the chair, pro ceeded to address the meeting, and said, I feel sure that any one you may choose must fall short of my dear and re spected friend, your late representative.—( Applause.) In looking at his career, one as bright, brave, and good, as any man can boast of, either as a warrior or a statesman, every one of you would be ashamed if I did not join in this tribal e of affection and regard for his memory.—(Loud applause.) But though, in the current of events, he is taken away from this mortal career, and perhaps for better purposes—to fill his place in your hearts, and to occupy his station in the affairs of the country, although I had nearly given over politics, and every thing connected with them, I bring forward Mr. Larpent, who although he has not signalised himself yet, is well qualified to represent you.—(Loud cheering.) I stand before you as I have ever done. I stand here as a thorough-paced Radical. —( Applause.) In 1812 I did the same. I then voted against everything that could injure the working classes, or oppress the community. So I began, and so I will die.—(Vehement cheer ing, his Lordship expressing his sentiments most energetically.) And I have not the least doubt that. my Hon. Friend, if he will allow me to call him so, will not fall short in my steps.— ( Hear, hear.) I take my leave in introducing him to 3oti.— ( His Lordship took his seat amidst much cheering.) G. G. de H. LARPENT, Esq., rose immediately, and said— The first question I was asked when I came to Nottingham was, Who and what are you ?" I knew that lam a stranger, and that I came to succeed one who was well known. I have, therefore, come here to tell you what I am ; but I will first tell you what I am not. lam not a nominee of Govern ment.—(Great cheering.) I have worked too hard for my independence to barter it to any one ; but feeling, as I do, that the party to which I belong is the one most likely to give good sound government, and that we cannot without the assistance of the present Government exercise any material power—l will for that waive some of my principles so as to prevent the return of one of an opposite party, who would be an enemy to all good government.—( Hear, hear.) I will now tell you what I am. I am, and always have been, engaged in commercial pursuits. I have opposed the great monopoly of the East India Company, deeming that it would be of great benefit to the country, which it has since proved to be, as well as that in China.--(llear.) It is my boast that I contributed to the destroying of that monopoly. That being done with I turn my attention to the country, and look for ward to the time when all taxes but those absolutely neces sary to the maintenance of the revenue will be repealed, and when class legislation will be abolished; for it will ever be my greatest endeavour to stop all class legislation.—( Hear, hear, hear.) I would with this view refer you to the re port of the House of Commons—there how forcibly is depicted the crippling our commerce and the extreme evils we suftbr under, when if those obnoxious laws which press so heavT on industry were repealed, we should beat all off; when, if it were not for the pernicious Corn-laws, which still foster and nurture manufactures abroad, which have drawn away our best Bi itish managers and artisans, we might now have been the market for the world.— (Hear.) I have seen in my business, lace, hosiery, and woollen cloths, manufactured abroad, which were as beautiful as any that can be made in this country, and which were offered for sale to use. These would never have been manufactured had it not been for the Corn-laws,-- (Applause.) If this is the case, what can be done to stop such an evil state of things? In 1828 I was one of the parties who presented a petition to Parliament in favour of free trade, grounded on the principle that actuates us all, namely, " Buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest;" that was the first attempt ma de. T h e petition ways presented by Lord Ashburton, who, I am grieved to say, is since changed. I have not done so. — ( hear.) It is my pride to maintain them and thus assist in freeing the country IYom incidentally mentioned trammels which now beset her. I have now mentioned the Corn-laws—not incidentally, I hope, however, for the mode in which those imposts are collected is one of the most vile ever known, and its workings still worse. It deranges the monetary system, it has brought the Bank of England nearly to bankruptcy, it has starved the greater part of our po pulation, and it has brought the corn trale to a system of wholesale g ambling.—(Hear, hear,) Let us get rid of this law, odious and detestable as it is, and then let us see what we can procure in its place. Another point is the Poor -laws— indeed they go together. Let us lock at the workin - classes, and c onsider what the P oor -l aws are for ;—w hy to throw them on their own resources. But was it f a i r t o dO that until they found them something whereby they might ob tain those resources ?—(Hear, hear.) Is it not the all-starving Corn -laws that prevent them, I ask ?—(Yes ' yes.) God for bid that I should advocate th e P oor -l aws, to relieve the landed interest from their rates.—(Hear.) Let the Corn-laws be repealed, and the alt ere d state of the people will be immedi ately perceptible.—(Loud applause.) With respect to the Poor-law Bill, the majorities of the House have decided that for five years longer at least it shall become the law of the land ; but I will give you my earnest professions—for profes sions are all I can give you now—but I think from my past life they are worth something ; I give my most earnest professions that I will always test it on the principle of " What good can it do to the working classes ?" That shall be my polar star. After some further remarks in the same strain he stated that he was in favour of an extension of the franchise and the ballot, and against Church-rates. He was much applauded, and after thanks had been voted to the Noble Chairman the meeti, )crated. ng sep; The town is all alive with the anticipated election. The chief topic of discourse is, who is to be the man ? The Journal, last week, was so obliging as to name a Mr. Fox as the candidate ready cut and dried for us, but the men of Nottingham do not mean to have a Go vernment retainer, a " Ministerial hack," crammed down the it throat:. A meeting of Liberals was held at the Ex change Rooms, on Wednesday night, when Mr. Larpent was proposed by Mr. Cl os e and Mr. Sands , as a suitable mar,. A statement of his political principles was made, individuals. One letters r e ad r e s p ec ti n g him from influential One letter from the well-known J. Morrison, Esq., M. P , says, " I have great pleasure in stating that I have known . • Mr, Larpent f u r some years, as the active partner in on e of our most eminent houses in the East India tra‘le, as well as chairman of the East India and China Assor iation and from my knowledge of his great talents, and hi s mer cantile knowledge 4nd standing*, I should say L ; -c pecu liarly fltted to repreEent a commercial communit y , and that the selection of such a g entleman would do Lono ur t o any constituency in E n gland."—Another luster was from W. Leaf, Esq, the e minnt merenant, who writes, " I haven() hesitation in saying, that Mr. Larpent is in every way qualified to represent the town of Nottingham; he is a man f high integrity, of great commercial knowledge, and in very sense of the word, of sound liberal principles , . Mr. Travers, the eminent grocer, of Switbin's-lane, London, says in a letter to Mr. S. Fox, " Mr. Larpent is a good Liberal, in the best sense of the word-_a man of great intelligence and commercial experience, and a sturdy friend of civil and religious liberty." On the faith of these letters, and of the expositions given of his prin ciples, it was resolved that Mr. L. should be requested to state his views to the town. He arrived yesterday morning, and i n ano th er column will be found his ad dress to th e e l ectors. I n t h e mea n time, the Tories were not idle. We believe that several private meet ings were held at the George the Fourth ; • and on Wednesday night, there was a . nnmerous meeting called by ticket, at the Conservative-hall, on the Low-pave ment, Thomas Marriott, Esq. in the chair. Of course we are not in the secret as to what took place there, bet the result is, that Mr. Walter, the well-known ex-mern- , bar for Berkshir,-, the rejected of Sou- hwark, and part proprietor of the Times newspaper, has been put for ward as a candidate. It Has unanimously resolved, " That this meeting having full confidence in the political inte grity and ability of Mr. Walter, pledges itself to ute all legitimate means to secure his election as a member of Parliament for the borough of Nottingham." The Chartists have also been vtry active ; by some p owers of ratiocination which we cannot underst an d, they have come to the resolution of joining the Tories. We are told, in a baud-bill just published, that at a very numerous meeting of the Chartist body, held on Wednesday evening, in the chapel in Rice place, it was resolved—" Ist. That this meeting do all in their power to support the election of Mr. Walter. 2d. That a committee of Chartist e'ectors be now appointed, with power to add to their number, to carry the foregoing resolution into effect. The following are the names of the Committee appointed:— Messrs. J. Sweet, Edward Cox, Wm. Bilbie, Wm. Colton, Wm. Parker, Chas. Marry, Isaac Batton, and Wm. Carrington. Such is the state of public opicion in this town. We deeply regret that any of those who have for years sup ported Liberal principles, should now, under any pre tence, enlist under the banners of a Tory ; but we do not for a moment doubt the issue. The good sense of the electors will gui 'e them rightly when the day of polling shall arrive. Our readers will ask, when Kill the election take place? To this it is impossible we cut give a precise ans A er. The Parliament a'semble again on Tuesday next, on which night the ew writ will protably be moved ; it may be sent down by that night's post, to the Sheriff, who it is likely will make the necessary proclimatiln immediately. Af:,er that three clear days must elapse, so that Monday week is the earliest day that can „be fixed for the nomi❑a- ty tion, and in that case the e'enion may take p,lact on 'or Tuesday :sea, from , eight ololock until four, unless as at the last election, one party should be to much a-bead, that the other tho Id fling up the matter in despair.—Notting ham Review. THE PRESIDENT STEAMER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR—Before the President had her keel laid I ventured to prognosticate, from her dimensions, that she would not prove a fast goer, and before she was launched I expressed a strung opinion that she would be very subject to lose lier.rudder. The loss of her rudder, with a slight derangement in her machinery, would leave her at the mercy of the ever-changing winds in the Atlantic, and she need not be despaired of until after the arrival of the next Halifax steamer, which my be expected in about a fortnight hence. Should we not, therefore, say with Cassia of the Noble Moor,— " His bark is stoutly timber'd, and his pilot Of very expert and approv'd allowance ; Therefore my hopes, not surfeited to death, Stand in bold cure."

Sir,—l have the pleasure of informing you that the Duke of Orleans' Ball, given at St. Omer on Wednesday evening, and to which the military in garr.son here, and the resident gentry, were invited, went off with great ec!at, and the party who proceeded from hence to attend it are returned highly gratified with their evening's entertainment, and the very great kindness and hospitality shown them upon the occasion. Nothing could exceed the cordial reception cur Officers met with at the hands of the French Officers, and the marked and flatt..ring attention paid them by the Duke of Orleans himself. The ball was attended by about two thousand five hundred persons, a great proportion of whom were English - from Bou logne, Calais, Dunkirk, and those residing at St. Omer. It was given in the Theatre at the Hotel de Ville, and all the arrangements were admirably made so as to ensure the utmost gratification and satisfaction to ill. Th e scene was a most brilliant one, more particularly at the moment of the Duke's entering the ball-room with his brother the Prince de Joinville, about nine o'clock, at which time all the boxes in the theatre were filled with Ladies elegantly attired, and with Officers, Naval and Military, in splendid uniforms, and the room itself crowded with the dancers. Those in the boxes all rose at the Duke's entrance, and the orchestra, which was most excellent, immediately commenced playing. The dancing was kept up with much animation until :;pout four o'clock, when the Princes retired. The Supper-rooms were opened at twelve o'clock, where every delicacy was provided in the greatest abundance, and wines of every description of the choicest kind. The whole affair was conducted on a most magnificent scale, and the Princes themselves, and the Aids-de-Camp, were indefatigable in their exertions to gratify all present. The Offict-rs of our garrison who attended the ball, aswell as the Gentry of the Town, have returned, as 1 said before, most highly pleased, and the feeling of satisfaction that is ex pressed by t em, for the great hospitality and kindness mani fested towards•them is indeed unanimous. The camp in the neighbourhood of St. Omer, consisting of about ten thousand men, is about to be broken up. These troops have orders to proceed to Paris, where there will be a. grand review of a hundred thousand men early in May. Your's faithfully. Dover, April 16, 1841. ODE ON THE BURIAL OF SIR JOHN MOORE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Litteris operant das, Lucid() fulges oculo. HUDSON edit., by P. Prout. SIR,—_A gentleman who calls himself Scrutator, I suppose, from having the luck occasionally to find a mare's nest, has ex pressed, through the Boulogne Gazette, strange misgivings of plagiarism on the part of Chas. Wolfe in respect to the Ode on the Burial of Sir John Moore. Why, Sir, this gentleman must be considerably behind the literature of the age, or he would have known that the question has been long ago decided in the affirmative by the celebrated Father Prout, who concludes his unanswerable statement of facts supporting the originality of the French lines, by suppos ing that " perhaps Wolfe Tone may have communicated them to his relative, the clergyman, on his return from France," modestly subjoininz—" Fides sit penes lutorem."—P. Prout. I suppose this will be sufficient for Scrutator, but I beg to have one word with yourself, as you say " that Wolfe certainly left his right to the honour that has been heaped on him very doubtful ;" and I hope you will allow that you have expressed yourself, perhaps, hastily, when you take into consideration the following circumstances : In the first place, then, Mr. Wolfe acknowledged himielf the author of this Ode to numbers, two of whom have already given their testimony in your ewn columns. Add to this Wolfe's stainless character, placing his word. above suspicion. In the next r d iace, you have the evidence of those who were present when the subject was first proposed to him, on which occasion he actually composed some of the stanzas, though not in ths.gr present order. Then, consider the improbability of such a highly moral cha racter falsely claiming what could not exalt his genius in the eyes of his acquaintance, but might be the occasion of blasting his reputation for ever. Be s ides, you have, what in most other cases is considered sufficient of itself as establishing authorship, namely, the testi mony of the person who first publishes, and who in this case was Air. Stewart, at that time Editor of the Newry Commer cial Telegraph, and who subsequently edited the Belfast New Add to all this the number of pretenders who at different times have appeared, and who have been signally defeated, and I think that you must acknowledge that Mr. Wohe's claim has actually undergone the experintentunt crucis. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, JOSEPH MARSHALL. Victory, Portsmouth, April 16. STOPPAGE OF MESSRS . BARBER AND MARSHALL'S BANK, AT WALSALL.
