To repeal the Corn-laws ?or repeal the Poo.:-!aws ? This is the question—so saith the rdnes, which as cribes the delay in the solution of the query " to the apathy induced on the public mind by tl..e want of inuiires propounded by the political leaders for the putting forth any exertion in behalf of either of the two great parties." The Times charges the Ministerial papers with taunting the Tory opponents of the Poor larr with the query, " Which of all your Conservative loaders can you induce to propose a repeal of that law ?" and retorts the accusation with the rejoinder, " Which of all your vaunted Reform Ministers will you get to propose the abolition of the Corn-laws ?" From the position implied by these queries, the Times comes to the conclusion that " the wishes, then, of the respec t:va parties out of doors arc not responded to with frank ness and warmth by the leaders of either side in Parlia ment. So much may be admittel ; and it is quite as true and as incontrovertible on the one side as on the other." We grapple the Times on this position, and claim, by its regard for consistency, its support in procuring a reform of that Parliament, the leaders of which repre , sent fairly neither of the parties out of doors. Will the 'limes support us in this object ? We do not expect it.

S. and B. SOLOMONS, OPTICIANS and AURISTS to the ROYAL FAMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-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 anel imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen w ith 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 kvt)wn to the public, and tke 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 scientihc authority: From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, , F. R S., &c., &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, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electries ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and 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 I). Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, 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 hail at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the Yoik Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank. SALT STREETS.—A medical correspondent urges the discontinuance of the dirty, and extremely dangerous practice now prevalent, of sprinkling salt on the pavement, in order to dissol v e t h e s now and ice, which a little lsbour would remove without inconvenience to the publio. He says, " I believe more catarrhs, coughs, and consumptive diseases, ending in death, have been occa sioned by this pernicious practice than all other baneful influences besides. In my practice several patients have been confined by severe illness to their sick chambers by this salt-sprinkling mania—it is the death of many persons."

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. ( From the Times.) A dispute has arisen between the Colonial-office and sonic of the emigration-mongers upon the meansof regulating the exportation o f em i g r an ts to the British colonies- It had been observed that in those new countries where land is to be had for little more than the trouble of taking possession, ro settler is content to labour fur a master ; that each longs to be an owner of much more than he can 'cultivate—that, conse quently, much of the land is wholly neglected—and that even the portion wrought is rather scratched than tilled. It was hoeind that this lack of labourers was a difficulty not easily to be remedied ; since no colonial propietor was Ruling to incur the expense of importing iimbandmen, whose whole object %you'd be at the ear liest possible moment to throw up their contracts, and quit the working for the pyoprietary class, thereby in creasing instead of diminishing the disproportion be tween the appropriated land and the labour. It was then inferred, that if the Crown, the universal owner of the soil, were to raise the sale price of the lands, and employ the proceeds in the impor tation of labourers, the requisite proportion be tween the land and the labour would be restored ; inasmuch as capitalists would not pay great prices for allotments which they could not work, and labourers would be obliged to continue for some time in the earning of wages before their savings would enabh them to become cultivators on their own account. This principle was adopted by the Government, arc( the " Emigration" or " Colonial Land Board," ap pointed by and under the Colonial-office, has already obtained, from the sale of Crown lands, considerable sums, the balance whereof remaining in each respec- At the Hull Sessions on Saturday last, a man, who cslls himself John Arthur Robarts, was convicted cf ob taining money under false pretences, and sentenced to seven years transportation ; there being several other charges against him of similar offences practised during a residence of about ten months in Hull. The result of his trial has, however, brought a more serious circumstance forward. At the time of his apprehension a considerable nue , er of watches, SUIT.O plate, and a variety of wt Ilery, were found, either in the possession of the pri soner, or in that of a female with whom he coliabi'cd ; zeta it now appears, that they arc both implicated in cit.- cumstanees connected with the murder and robbery ()I Mr. Westwood, t h e watchmaker in Prince't-street, Soho, either as accessaries to the crime, or at least as possessors of some of the stolen property. lospector Beresford, of the Metropolitan pollee arrived in Hull previous to the Scssitos, and in the event of Robarts haling been acquitted, was ready with a warrant to apprehend lint on the above charge. His being convicted renders that proceeding unnecessary, and Inspector Eleresford returns to town with some of the watches, a large case of jewellery, and several miscelLineous articles, found at the lodgings of the prisoner's late female com panion. This woman, from admissions made by her paramour, there is reason to suspect knows some thing about the death of Eliza G,imwood, whose mur der in Wellington -terrace, Waterloo Bridge-road, hvs remained so long a mystery. She calls herself Mary Corey, and accompanied the prisoner from London to Hull. About three months ago she preferred a charge of forgery against him, to the edicet that he had drawn 15e1. of her money from the bank of Jones, Loyd, and Co., by means of altering two or three checks she had signed for 5/. each to larger sums. There appeared no doubt of the fact, but she did not appear at the se cond csamination. The exposure, however, opened the cy ao - vtral persons who had been -Wipe:t hy the prisoner, : and to • whom he • had represented himself as a •‘ barrister-at law, and an Court of Chancery." Having circulated a false. ac count of his having recovered an estate in Seotl- nd for a poor person at Beverl-y, the credulity of others being or fancying themselves entitled to property was excited, and on their visiting the great lawyer, a few pounds were easily extorted from them. The prisoner being convicted en one charge of this kind, the ends el justice were considered satisfied, especially as matter of more seri ius import seemed to attach to the convict. It is believed that the prisoner is a native of Reading—that his real name is Rubinson or Robertson, and that he is or has been by trac!ci a watchmaker. During his residence in Hull he has assumed a higher cia,racter, though with little pretension beyond an immoderate degeee of assurance. He has been a leading character among the Socialists, and always showed a desire to become a public character. His trial on Sa turday occupied seven hours, in consequence of his long and irrelevant cross-examination of the witnesses, and his addressing the Jury for nearly an hour in his assumed cha racter as a barrister SINGULAR CASE OF HYDRO- PHOBIA. An inquest was held before T. C. Maynard, Esq., Co roner, at Sunderland, on Wednesday last, on the body of W. Brown, whose death had been caused by the bite of a dog, which he had received seven weeks ago. H. Bell, cousin to the deceased, said on the 19,h of No vember I was in Middleton's shop with my cousin. His doF, which was a cocker, was in the shop. He struck it, and it bit him on the right hand, on the fleshy part of the thumb. The wound bled a little. He became ill on Sun day last, having complained on the Saturday of a stiffaese in the hand. Ile took his tea on Saturday as usual. On Sunday night he was very poorly, and complained of sick• ness. On the Monday morning Mr. Thompson was sent for. The deceased died at ten minutes past eight yester day morning. We have never seen the dog since it bit hint. He beat it with a stick, and it ran out of the back door into the low street. We had the dog about six weeks, but had seen nothing peculiar about it : it was ac customed to snarl and bite. The deceased would have been 33 years of age on the l'lth et' January, and was un married. The dog was black-spotted and white. Mr. Thompson, surgeon, deposed—l was called to at tend the deceased about half-past eight o'clock on Monday mottling last. My young man had previously dressed his hand when he received the wound. I found him vomiting and complaining of a severe pain in the stomach, which he stated was caused by eating an unbaked pie, at Seaham, on Friday. He had an ihteme pain in the stomach, and had a difficulty in swallowing liquid in particular. I sent him a mixture and some pills, but on returning found he could not swallow the mixture, though he had taken the pills. It was half an hour after when I called the second time. He was trying to suck the mixture through a pipe stopper, but could not. He at length effected it by taking a cup of tea. From that time the aynip toms increased, particularly the difficulty in swallowing, and the aversion to water. I bled him to relieve the pain, and called isf Dr. Brown abuvit thneo o'clock in the afternoon. Eighteen leeches were applied over the pit of the stomach. Dr. Brown agreed with me that it was a case of hydrophobia. I continued with him till seven o'clock yesterday morning. There was a violent sighing and a heaving of the diaphragm, and it sometimes took two or three persons to hold hien down. He was quite sensible, and called for U 3 to hold him down. The convulsive efforts latterly returned nearly every minute, and his dread of water was intense. Whenever he saw or felt it it convulsed his wholo frame. He died about eight o'clock yesterday morning. I have no doubt he died front hydrophobia. He never, while he was ill, spoke to me of the bite in the thumb, but lie mentioned it to me several times while he was well. It was then healed. It did not appear to have been a severe one. He said to me, when I was looking at the marks of the wounds on his hand, " You do not think anything of that, do you?' The Jury returned a verdict of " Died from hydro phobia, occasioned by the bite of a dog." THE THUIsDER STORM OF SUNDAY. MEETING OF THE VESTRYMEN OF CHRIST CHURCH, SPITALFIELL I S. On Monday, at eight o'clock, a numerous meeting of the vestrymen of the parish of Christ Church, Spitalfields, specially convened, was held in the vestry-room of the church, which is situated immediately under the tower of the steeple, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the surveyor as to the extent of the damage done to the spire and the tower ,by the electric, fluid on Sunday morning last. There wcrc present the Rev. W. Stone, the rector ; Nlessrs. Morris and Stone, the churchwar dens ; Mr. Brushfield, the chairman of the board of guar dians of the Whitechapel union, and most of the princi pal inhabitants of the parish. Mr. Morris, senior churchwarden, having been called to the chair, Mr. TAYLOR, the Vestry-clerk, read the Report of the snrveyor, Mr. Waller, which was as follows : g. REPORT AS TO THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE SPIRE OF CHRIST CHURCH. SPITALFIELDS, BY TIIE STORM OF TIIF. 3D INSTANT. " From the general view I have been able to take, without the assistance of ladder and scaffolding, I am of opinion that, although the damage done to the spire is con siderable, much of the stone-work being shattered and dis placed, yet, as the spire maintains its perpendicular posi tion, and as there is no appearance of extensive vertical fracture, there are no grounds for any immediate danger; and I am further of opinion that the damage can be reed • fled without rebuilding the spire. " To enable me, however, to give a more decided opinion, I beg respectfully to submit that it is absolutely necessary to have ladders, stages, and scaffolding erected within the spire, at least from its base upwards. Exter nally, also, it is very desirable ; but as the latter mode would be attended with great expense, I am of opinion that, if confined to the interior, I shall be able to make such an examination as will enable me to give an opinion upon which reliance may be placed; and I will further submit that this should be attended to immediately, as wet and frost penetrating the ,fractured portion of the stone-aotk may produce serious mischief. "JOHN WALLER. " To the Churchwardens aS Christ Church, Spitalfields. " 68, Aldermanbury, Jan. 4, 1841." Mr. 131tustiFIELD moved that the churchwardens be re quested have an internal examination of the steeple made without delay, in order to ascertain with certainty if the spire be in Is safe state, and that Mr. Waller be re quested to report thereon. Mr. WAITE seconded the resolution, which was agreed to unanimously ; as was also the following :—" That a vestry meeting be called at the earliest possible opportunity to receive the report, and to make such further arrange ments as may be necessary." Thanks were then pa , sed to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. - . fins been expended ir —. 7" — tte expo - rtation of labourers thither. It is on the propriety of that deduction for local government that the main schism has occurred between the emigrationists and the colonial administration ; and the money question, the financial pressure, has here had a strong opera tion in keeping Ministers right. Tne demand for the application of the whole fund to the exportation of labour being strongly pressed upon them by some of their Radical supporters, they would have been but too much reason to expect the compliance of Govern ment, had not this been happily made impossible by the pecuniary circumstances of the case. The ex penses of the local governments were increasing, and with them was increasing also the indisposition of Par. liament to vote the money of the mother country for defraying them. Ministers, therefore, in this one lucky instance, had no choice but to do what was right in despite of their supporters. The emigration ists, opposing the Government on this subject, are of that very common, not to say vulgar, class of modern philosophers, who, when they have got hold of a princi ple, insist upon working it to the last extremity. Because the colonization of our transmarine possessions can in no way be so safely and speedily advanced as by making the land defray the means of its own culti variation, therefore it is concluded that every shilling of price diverted from the freight of labourers is lost to the interests of colonization. In this philosophy man is regarded not as a creature having passions, affece tions, moral faculties, and powers—formed foe society and destined for heaven—hut as a mere implement of husbandry, a self-impelling steam-plough, and the number of hands makes the sum of the colony. Go vernment, law, police, roads, bridges, wharfs, embank ments, public buildings, the practical sciences, the arts of life, the schools of human and Divine instruction — all those main necessaries of our earthly existence are omitted in the provision of the philosophical etnigra tionist. No doubt all these things cost money, awl make at first a large deduction from the fund which you desire to employ so exclusively upon the freight of human cargoes, but without them the cargoes are good for nothing when delivered. You might just as well refuse to bestow any part of the fund upon the victuallir.g of the voyage, or upon the provision of dwellings or tools for your labourers at the place of their destination. The principle which should be im pressed on the minds of all who take an interest in colonization is, that the mere locution of a certain pro portion (y labourers upon a certain allotment of land will nut make a colony. Such a plantation, without some Common institutions and objects, some moral and religious connexion, to bind, and at times to bring toge ther, the scattered inhabitants of the wild country, is but one degree, if at all, above the state of the hunter-tribes of North America. The emigrants may have better tools than those aborigines, and follow tame flocks of sheep instad of wild herds buffalke,;.butior any '.Ming that raises man above his animal condition, the friend of human nature will search in vain among the English coloni,ts, if the Government shall ever fall into the views of those who think that the only legitimate ap plication of the land-fund is to export the maximum of hands. The State has no right, under the pretence of relieving a crowded population, to send a portion of it beyond the reach of moral improvement and reli gious instruction. With the wealth which our manu factures have brought to us, we have contracted corre lative duties to the population which they have bred ; and we are not entitled, for the sake of relieving our selves from so much more of our incumbent pauperism, to huddle out a mass of people without those provisions which constitute the necessaries and very eh talents of a civilized community. In older countries, the amount expended on public objects is defrayed from taxation upon private property ; it is the good fortune of new colonies that there is unappropriated land, the land of the public, available for this purpose, without the levy of taxes. But if the State is content to waive all pre sent benefit to its exchequer in the sale of the public land, the least which that land can be expected to yield is the sufficient and complete maintenance, social as well as physical, religious ns well as civil, of the rising nations that are planted on it. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We must once more entreat all the Liberal electors of Walsall to think only now of returning Mr. Smith. Those who may feel offended at the proceedings adopted with regard to Mr. Lyttelton, would do well to reflect, that it a mistake has been committed, no good can result from committing another. It would be a grievous mistake to leave any means untried by which the return of Mr. Gladstone can be prevented. We would entreat those supporters of Mr. Lyttelton, who may be offended at what has taken place, to consider that Mr. Smith would in every respect be a suitable re presentative for aVaisau. If', then, they withhold their support from Mr. Smith, they are responsible for the re turn of Mr. Gladstone. It will not do to say that if the Radicals and advocates of tree trade had stood by Mr. Lyttelton, Mr. Gladstone would have been defeated. Mr. Lyttelton is no longer in the field, and the fault of others cannot justify any portion of the elec tors entertaining Likral opinions, in disregarding the positive duty of supporting a Liberal. They would not be more culpable were they to vote for Gladstone, than in refusing to vote for Mr. Smith ,if they thereby secure the return of the former. If faults have been committed, the fitting time for going into them is not when the enemy is in field. Were we in the situation of those supporters of Mr. Lyttelton, who conceive that gentlemen to have been ill-used, the reproof we should administer would be to exert our utmost ener gies on behalf of Mr. Smith. It gives us much satis• faction to learn that the enthusiasm of the men of Walsall has been roused, and the best hopes are enter tained that that place will have the distinction of re turning a stanch advocate of free tr a d e t o t h e H ouse of Commons. Much will it rejoice us t o fi n d th a t th e e stimate we had been taught to form of the spirit and independence of the men of Walsall is below their me rits. Their return of M r. Smith at thi s time will have a most salutary influence. We need not a dd, t h at ev ery manufacturing tow n in En g l and is now looking anxiously r t o o m w a t r h d e s \Na lal, of antia n theyadvocate after a Tory had been fifte en da ys in the field, end made himself sure of victory from the faults committed by the returns 1 would derive f r e s h Liberals. The Radicals and advocates of free trade will, unquestionably, support Mr. Smith. If he fail to be returned, the circumstance will serve to widen the breach elsewhere between the different divisions of Liberals.

When hope is ex cluded from the human mind, what is there to check the most terrible and guilty suggestions of despair ? Of the criminals in the penal settlements which we have mentioned it may be truly said - Hope never comes 4 t Th comes to all, but torture without end *,,,, ver-burning ierieittide u`n`coliSunie:d. - This is not the system of enlightened justice. It is a mode of punishment, brutal and ferocious, savouring more of the wild rage of insatiable vengeance than the usual severity of judicious coercion. Who that hears of such foul cruelties committed, in the desecrated name of public justice, can wonder that to the help less, hopeless, agonised victims of such infer❑al tor ment, " so indifferent had even life become, that mur ders were committed in cold blood—the murderer afterwards declaring that he had no ill feeling against his victim, but that his sole object was to obtain his own release." Thus the offender who had stolen a sheep, or committed a robbery on the highway ►cithout per sonal violence, is stimulate:l_ to dip his hands in the blood of his fellocw•creature, for the purpose of getting rid or the earthly torments inflicted in the name of justice, and thus—still more horrible—are immortal souls qualiflcdf,r • perdition ! If such a picture of a miscalled system of pe nal justice had not been given on the high authority of the Vicar-General of New Holland and Van D:emen's Lind, we could cot have credited its horrible accuracy. We are aware, indeed, that of late years the Judges in Eogland have been accustomed to tell persons sentenced to transportation for various offences, more especially it the term of banishment was for life, that they were • about to go to a land of slavery, where their time would passed in the terrible servitude and degradation of ironed gangs, &c. ; but we did not know, we could not imagine, that a system of cruelty prevailed at those penal settlements so dreadful arid savage in its nature, as to be truly diabolical, and only productive of diabo lical deeds. Let the civilised and Christian people of Eagland only thick what the system of punishment must be which causes the convicts to determine upon committing murder upon some person (perhaps a fellow convict), against whom they have no malice whatever, and having conspired to commit murder, then to cast lots to ascertain who is to perpetrate it, that they on whom the lot does not fall may have a temporary res- pite from their torments, by their being taken to the court at Sydney to appear as witnesses against the gutty wretch who has been their instrument in commit ting the deed of blood! We have then the testimony of the Rev. Mr. M'Everal, that of seventy-four con victs whom he saw executed within four years, many declared on the scaffold that they preferred suffering death to being sent to Norfolk Island. Hero wo find such is the system of wholesale butchery of human beings in New South Wales, that one clergyman has Lad to attend seventy-four cons kte. to the gallows in the course of four years ! With such exampler, of barbarity in the sy tem which disgraces the name of pubic justice, who can wonder it the result be to multiply crime by familiarising the population with such brutal and terocions practices? What a specimen of the enlightened policy of our Colonial Government. (From the Morning Post.) The Walsall election is a source of great pain to nor Ministerial Contemporaries, and threatens to in fl,ct a mortifying (may we not, in their present state of weakness in the House of Commons, call it a ruinous ?) discomfiture upon their official patrons. What makes this the unkindest cut of all is that the the fatal wound is ascri&d to the Anti-Corn-law League, a confederacy which the Ministerial party and its cunning emissaries and agents called into being in tho expectation and for the purpose of drawing rein forcement from its strength at every election contest. Mr. Spencer Lyttelton Ives the Ministerial candidate, and the Anti-Corn-law League having sent a deputation front Manchester to ascertain how he intended, in the event of his election, to act in Parliament upon the sub ject of the Corn-law, he, not being able to pledge him self, to the extent of their views, withdrew from the con test. This is all that can fairly be called narrative up to the time of Mr. Lyttleton's retirement. \\ lien, how ever, the Chronicle and Globe add to this that the return of the Whig candidate would have been se cure but for this int( rference of the Anti-Corn-law League, they plainly cease to narrate, and begin to sur mise or invent. Mr. Bolton, who, in a lever to the Chro:licic, describes himself as the professional agent of Mr. Lyttelton, tells a very different tale ; to wit, that from the first Mr. Lyttelton had but an indifferent chance of success, in consequence of the inherent weak ness of the Ministerial cause. "It is well known," says this gentleman, " that Mr. Finch was returned by a small majority. The borough registration on the part of the Liberals has since been almost totally neglected ; while on the part of the Tories active preparations have been made to increase their numbers." And again— " It became obvious to Mr. Lyttelton's friends that a candidate of Radical opinions stood not even a chance of success, while nothing but the most perfect unity of all classes of Re formers, and their indefati gable exertions, could effect the return of a Whig candidate." And this union having been ef fected, and these exertions made—what then ? Tne certainty of success to the Whig candidate ? By no means. M. Bolton, though the professional agent of the discomfited candidate, and naturally, therefore. more annoyed and disappointed than any body else by the sudden termination of a contest which was at least good for him, has too much regard to truth to say any thing like this. If such was the state of the Ministe rial cause at Walsall in the hands of Mr. Lyttelton, what mutt it be now ? The retirement of this gentle man was the signal for a search after a candidate more active, anxious, and indiscriminate than party zeal or party despair ever before occasioned. The very lanes and hedges of political life were eagerly visited to see whether some guest to the electioneering feast of the men of all grades of political opinion" at Walsall might not be found and trepanned. Even Dr. Bow ring was sent for, and, if our Ministerial Contem poraries spoke truth, was silly enough to go down to see the state of preparation for the Liberal banquet. The view seems to have affected the free-trade and polyglot Doctor with a considerable degree of nausea, for he suddenly vanished out of sight, and has been heard of no more. The affair at Walsall stands as well as the Conservatives could desire, for, in addition to a certain triumph, it promises them a good deal of fun, a fore taste of which it already yields. Our Ministerial Contemporaries the Globe and Chronicle are labour ing to persuade the Liberals of Walsall that, as those among them who are for the repeal of the Corn laws would :not co-operate in the election of a re presentative, with those who are not for a repeal, it is the duty of the latter to co-operate with the former ; that it is for the interest and honour of all to be unanimous to-day in support of a care didate who is a repealer, though it was for the interest and honour of all yesterday to be unanimous in support of a candidate who is an anti repealer ; that, in a word, the Corn-law question, upon which for two years they have been labouring to agitate the country, which they always describe as the question upon the decision of which the prosperity of the country and the material welfare of the great masses of its people wholly depend, is so utterly worthless and in significant a question that it ought not of itself, and in dependently of the party object of keeping the Whigs in place, to determine. so much as a single vote at a popular election. This is very droll ; but, at the same time, very contemptible drollery. It is a remarkable illus tration of the party characterand motive of theAnti-Corn law agitation that not one of the Ministerial grumblers at the conduct of the Manchester delegates who interfered in the matter of the Walsall election ever ventured so much as to hint at the true, rational, and constitutional objection to that interference. There would have been sense and spirit in telling the Manchester deputation of Anti-Corn-law Leaguers that their interference with the Walsall election was an impertinent and unwarrant able intrusion into an affair which which they had no thing to do. This is what the Conservative candidate, when they proposed their test to him, did tell them. But whosoever expected the same straightforwardness from a \Vhig candidate, or a Whig journal, was fore doomed to a necessary disappointment. " That a consciousness of this fact acts as a damning and retarding force among the partisans on either side among the people is quite certain; and this is to be lamented, inasmuch as the party which gains most by public apathy must be the party in possession." Much as " the party in possession" may gain by public apathy, the party out of possession, that is, out of office, gains still more. For the apathy which allows one party to remain in, allows another party to exer cise a greater influence than, were it in ostensible pos 'Toe a ralltrre - IrTSB - Th." it — ii — fde - the Tories to be ware how they rouse the nation from that apathy which so so long endured their own mismanagement of public affairs, and since endured, with equal patience, its con sequences under an Administration professing less illi beral principles. There is no question upon which the Times could have more inopportunely challenged the national decision than on this of the Poor-laws and the Corn-laws. Abolish the Corn-laws, and from the means of employment and cheapness of food thus afforded, the Poor-laws would) in a short time altogether become unnecessary ; but abolish the calumniated Poor-laws, and leave the Corn-laws still blighting the general interests, and what will be the condition of the nation ? We dare and defy the Tories to answer the question. (From the Globe.) " Chartism," says the Herald, has grown out of the alienation which the New Poor-law has produced between the poor and the rich." The word Chartism certainly is new, but the thing is of indefinite antiquity. The leading points of the Charter were embodied in a declaration signed by William Pitt in his uncon verted state, and the practical principles were caem• 'Allied by the followers of \Vat Tyler, the Jacquerie and the Munster Anabaptists. Tnat those who have nothing to los? should find some comfort in being taught that the law of nature allows them to help themselves from the stock of those who have, is not surprising—and rogues will be found to teach it. co long as the tutor's fees are p rid. The law provides for the relief of those who are destitute ; it it takes one men's money to give to another, who can do without it, that is done by law which the. Jacquerie did by force. One word upon the Herald's remedy for Chartism — the removal of ignorance. In this we agree ; but deny that the Whig Radicals, or her ;Majesty's Attorney- General, are the men " who seek in the felon's dock for the best defence of society—who consider the hangman to be the great moral teach©r of men, who place their faith in ball-cartridge and bayonets, and look upon her Majesty's red coats as the best bulwarks of social life. Tneir creed is, we have shown a recent instance of its mingled crime and folly—' cut down, shoot, gibbet Chartism.' " Tue Herald, citing the case of Frost, says, "Correct and educate." We have never seen much grace in the grown gentlemen who have been taught to dance, even when willing to learn ; and we do no., know any pro cess by which the Whigs could have taught the New port rioters their duties. The leaders had grown up to be middle-aged men under Tory rule. The Whigs, on coming into office, found them such ; and we do not think that when marching down the street at Newport, even the Herald would have placed so . much reliance on the most orthodox teaching as on the ball cartridge. However that may be, the put:ing down a ruffianly mob, even at the expense of some loss of life, when otherwise the lives and properties of unoffending parties would he sacrificed, is not peculiarly a Whig prac tic we trust that it will he resorted to, in case of .'necessity, by whatever patty may hottLthe Cvovernmea. Our Contemporary has yet one mere vituperative word to apply to his opponents, which is " unchristian." So the Poor-law Amendment Act is a Whig and unchris tian measure, supported by the Duke of Wellington and the Bishop of London. It trees are to be judged by their fruits, according to the Herald the Lord Spiritual and the Lord Temporal are Whig-Radicals and Infidels. (From the Courier.) It is matter of sufficient notoriety, and on all occa sions maWe a standard repro by the opponents of both, how little of sympathy apparently exists between the press representing Conservative opinion among the public, and the leaders or members representing tire Conner vetive party in the Legislature, upon the one most special subject of the Poor-laws. The almost exclusive advocacy and odium of the more unpopular side of most public questions has usually been the fate of that Press, front whose cause and course leading legislators have been seen to separate themselves on the day of trial, sheltering their apparent abandonment, or deviation, from before understood opinion or resolve under a pica of the expediency of compromise in same cases, and of an overruling necessity arising out of some peculiar emer gency in others. Fairly to speak, the political position has not unfrequently been such in the extraordinary times we have lived in, as on many occasions to justify the validity of these pleas, as least in a considerable degree. The Poor-law question, however, is eminently one in which the Constitutional Press and Parliamentary leaders stand in somewhat reverse order ; for the former, for once, is left in the exclusive monopoly of the popular side, whilst the latter-swayed too readily in the first instance by dislimm','st reports of low ministerial agents, to the prejudice of the poor, misled besides by economical considerations, of which the value at best was doubtful, as reposing on assertions alone, and in fluenced perhaps also by the mistaken however loudly trumpeted assumptions of middle-class sentiment, were found co-operating either actively or by acquiescence in the enactment of new Poor-laws, and have since been seen passive spectators of their baneful operation, as if ashamed to retract error or unable to repair it. This dissonance of action and feeling between Conservative statesmen and the Conservative press has been a source no less of discouragement and weakness to the cause than of exultation to the Government and its new Poor-law satellites, who profit by Laid can exist only upon its continuance. Disunion in the councils is not the means of success to an end. Experience has now been carried far enough to force conviction of the unconstitutional and most unwholesome tendency of the new Poor-laws on minds the most prepossessed, and the time, we appre hend, should now be approaching, when a remedy must be applied of potency equal to the virulence of disease generated, and the laws themselves in their present shape swept from the book of statutes, or essentially modified. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS y:IONDAY EVENING.) C [IRONIC E.—The English Funds assumed a considerable degree of firmness shortly after the com mencement of business, and a purchase of -10,000 Con sols was effected by an influential broker at 891. Later in the day, however, prices again receded, the last quo tation being 89 buyers. Exchequer Bills experienced a further rise of 45., the quotation having reached 7s. to Us. p:em. Money has been easy to-day. We expected that our recent explanation of the pro ceedings in Chancery at the instance of the State of Illinois against Delafield, would call forth some efforts ' at contradiction, and we have not been disappointed. We observe an attempt to throw discredit upon o ur statement in a Contemporary to-day, but a more Janie or impotent one we hale never seen. We published the opinions of Mr. Daniel \Webster the couns el, a nd of Mr, Ruggles, the Solicitor for the State of Illinois, in the cause, explaining the object and n ature o . f th action, and declaring th there al n o . - e tion on the part of the State to repudiate the ‘a lidity of the bonds issued to Del:Acid, but merely to restrain him from parting with those which he still retained without paying for them , and t o make the pro ceeds of those which he had p ar t ed with available to account of his debt. The opinion of Mr. Webster cannot be sbaken by unsupported assertions, and th e bona fide holders of Ill inois stock.niay rely with coo f i . deuce upon its truth a nd authenticity. Our Contem porary should be satisfied to let facts alone. He will not increase his reputation by endeavouring t o su b vert t h em. We have recei ved the African Coloniz er f or t h e 2d instant, in wh ich s t ron g complaints are made against the lire:en/in:ter Review, because in a recent article on the subject of Emigration, co n t a i n i ng a cata logue of colonies. fit for emigration, " the very name of the Cape of Good Hope is omitted." " This," says the African Colonizer," is bad enough, but worse fol. l o ws. The quantity of wool ex p or t e d from Australia is displayed with judicious care, and the twofold increase of that wool every five years is properly enough insisted upon ; but the strange conclusion is made that the de- POST.—In a recent article we mentioned the fact that a large amount of a certain bankrupt Three per Cent. foreign stock had been purchased on the special recommendation of an "eminent capitalist." The holder of the stock in question seems to think the matter has not been put by us with sufTicient emphasis, and we are accordingly asked whether the authority from which we were writing did not go the length of showing very distinctly that two gentlemen who hap pened to have sums of mosey to invest were implies 61111 Loe There can be no doubt that it did, but we were fearful lest in following the text with that precision we felt dis posed to do we might have been taking too greet a liberty with a oommunication which had the appearance of being confidential. The sufferer* in this case are members of the same fa-- wily. They have between them about a hun dred and ten thousand pounds in nearly equal amounts, the one of Spanish stock, the other of Portu guese, exclusive of a heavy arrear of dividends. Osi the subject of these claims, the remarks made by us in the first instance are thus referred to :—" Does not the, note say that my purchases were, and that I believed my relative's to have been, founded upon the representa tion alluded to? His were, in fact, for they were made by the same broker, proceeding on the same recommen dation. Mine were absolutely so, for the broker re turned to me from the party direct with the message —' Tell him they (the Three per Cents.) will be 80.'" The principals were well known as opulent and respectable persons, owing, as it would seem, to the considerable investments made by them, on previous oc casions, of Dutch Stock through the same channels, for every transaction of this nature is, we may venture to assume, treasured up in the memories of the great opo rators in loans when once a knowledge of it is acquired. The business of which we are now speaking was; managed for one of the gentlemen through the followings artful process : " I find," he observes, " on reference, that I bought of the capitalist 638,000 guilders in the middle of February, 1835, and sold him 32,000 Portuguese Five per Cents., because he said, according to my broker, they were much too high. At tke end of the same month I re-sold hint 320,000 guilders, and bought 20,500 Portuguese Three per Cents., because ho said they would be at ;30 Now,. I think it was about a fortnight after I had sold hint the , Portuguese Fives at 92, because they were too high,' that we had out the Three per Cent. stock, extinguishing tho Six per Cents., and which carried the Fives up to 100. tie must have known, in all human probability, that a loan bad been contracted, or was in the ccurse of being so, which, by extinguishing the Six per Cents , would carry the Fives up to par, and yet he gave me the advice to part with them, and, although no purchaser's name is ex pressed in the b-oker's account, I am confident that, basing done it, it was to hint. After this he passes otr, w" have seen, 20 500 of the New Three per Cents. upon mt.' be cause they would be at SO." These details will let the public a little more into the mysteries of the loan-jobbing system, the art of making millions on the one hand, and the readiest and most effectual method of kicking down a splendid patri mony on the other. At a meeting of the committee of bondholders held to-day, preliminary to the general meeting fixed for the 6h instant, various financial documents dignified with the name of securities were read, and the contempt of: the decrees under which they were issued as e xhibited . by the Peninsular Governments produced a great scrim , tion.

They were not going at the speed of railroads—(l -I (.w, hear)—their pace resembled more that of the tortortr, and he was gratified to add they were progre,sing stea , (lily and most successfully.—(Cheers.) That state latent would be fully borne out by the report which be: now called upon the Secretary to read. The Report was then read by the Secretary of the affairs of the Bank for the ear, ending 30th June, 1840, front which it appeared that the profit for the ball year amounted to 25461/. 19s. 9d., and the reserved fund to 16,497/. The Directory proposed that the dividend of 4 per cent, for the half year, should be de clared, being at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum on the paid up capital of the Bank, leaving a sum of 1,000/. to the payment of preliminary expenses, and an addition of 4 : 4611. I9s. 9(1. to the reserved fund. The Report was received with loud cheers ; and the motion that it be received and printed was unanitnously agreed to. The five Directors going out by rotation were then re-elected, and thanks bein4 voted to the Directors for their zeal and ability in the management of the affairs , of the Bank, the meeting separated.

The liamnicr that strikes the large bell weighs 751bs. ; and the clock goes eight deys with once winding. The whole of the w eight used to keep the clock going is 251bs. ; the escapement holes are made of bell-metal, from the old bells that were destroyed in the late fire; the present clock is made with discharging ' apparatus for a 5..-t of chimes to play seven tunes, which, we hope, will eventually b e added.
