The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable, proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of inany of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim by the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. Tho result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tle character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able. —Magnet. a blse really astonished of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," ha Fa sal lly astonished us by developing aseries of ma l a di es , t h e never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of mhich it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. W e strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a veryq a u n e o st t i be onra.bleHtaevniog, however, dency,made been induced reluctant to take up tured to open its pages , and now feel no bents induced by the character gi ven of this work b y an intelli g en t friend, we -en tints in saying that we arise fr om its perus o a f l m in a st n r y uc o t f edanit edified. The clear exposition of th e source those diseases by which eyperroyv-day des of y s 'j ob sfaetravle tor as y o t u h t e h e ar :u d l t w h er ' cth co a m re m s o e n t causes, such as exposure to cold, su tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly vicissitudes n e t tl e l r y t e h satisfactory. aTe sbo and extre ausiNotloenssadrts.y. medi cine, shown that Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of !- ‘tn` many diseases, s in u as ch m a u s ch P favourable a termination treatment, be brought to as may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi ciousas any other class of affections. We do not think we g i o too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors fur producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &C., to the careful peru sa l o f persons of all classes.

The Wandsworth-road from Vauxhall turnpike was-flooded, and only passable by carriages, ; amid, the like was the case in front of the station near the London and South-western Railway terminus. Kennington -oval and Old Vauxhall suffered extensively. ''• _ At, the gardens at Brunswick-house, formerly the re sidence of the Duke of Brunswiek, the wall by the side of the river was washed away at the ebbing of the tide. The water overflowed the gardens, and when returning into its natural channel pressed so heavily against the wall that it gave wayiand thawhole fell into the Thanies. The houses .in pore -street, Lambeth, which are chiefly occupied by fishermen and their - families, Were flooded from two to three feet deep, as were also those in Church-street. The churchyard - was also inundated.. At Stangate the flood commenced at Messrs. Searle's, and flowed thence to Crosier -street, Palace New-road, the Bishop's-walk, and thence along to Vauxhall. BATTERSEA. —At Battersea-bridge no craft larger than a small fishing-boat could pass 'under either arch. The Ited-hpu2e suffered severely. TEMPLE Ganp'ENs.--The Temple gardens were over flowed, And a boat might be seen rowed over them. The Duke of -Buccleueles gardens Were wholly under water. j The- enormous coffer-damn at Westminster-bridge was full of .Water, and all labour was suspended. An old man, employed as a watchman on board a barge moored on the west side of Blaclariars bridge had a very narrow escape of . being drowned.

Yesterday evening a man, named John Davis, was taken to Guy's Hospital in a v er y ex h auste d state, having been picked out of the water near Park• street, Southwark. int • T Pool,.—A great d ea l o f d amage was done to the shipping in the Pool, by being forced from their moor ings, and also to the coal barges moored at the different wharfs. The Messrs. Horne, coal-merchants, of Bank side, are considerable losers, by three barges, coal-laden, having got adrift, and . sunk. Messrs. Capel and . Co. had no less than seven heavily laden barges adrift at one time, four •of which have been recovered ; the rest are, no doubt, sunken. • SUBSIDING OF THE WATERS.—On the subsiding of the waters in the evening a deposit of mud and filth was left in the streets and houses which was very offensive. People in all directions were busily employed pumping water out of their cellars and warehouses. Many, how ever, deferred this operation, in the expectation that the wind last night which was from the N.W. would keep the water up Chatmel, and with the sprinz, tides will most likely - cause another and more lofty rising of the water this day. On the Surrey shore myriads of rats, driven up the sewers by the flow - of the tide, were sten running about the streets. to save: themselves from drowning ; men and dogs killed. numbers. - - The Gazelle'Steamer, Captain_ Hurst, from Hull, !1r. , . .rived on Saturday 'afternoon, at half-past .two o'clock, vith. one hundred -passengers 'on board. During the voyage the Gazelle. fell,-in with the wreck of the brig Elizabeth, and another. esse], .name unknown, which afterwards' went down. Captain Hurst reports th a t h e met with several ether . vessels i n the Swin with topina,3ts gone, and considerable 'other damage, 'occasioned by the late gales, which have caused great damage to the ship ping. LATEST PARTICULARS. .The damage done between London and Putney bridges alone, is .estimated at several thousand you ds. Tha coTer-dam at theintended new chain-pier of llungerford %ilia, is said to be so completely destroyed, that tt:e whole of the work must be done over again. The cellars and rooms of almost every 'house on the Surrey side of the Thames, f rom ' t h e V auxhall-road to Waterloo bridge, arc still filled with water ; and this morning an extraordinary scene was It itnessed, hundreds of persons being employed in baling and pumping out the water. -At: one time the water opposite the entrance of the South ,Western Railway was six feet deep. It is an extraordinary fact, that two watertnen named-Ander son, whO ply at Waterloo-brid ge , and who took up two gentlemen to witness the great oars match, actually Atwed . 'their fare to the dOor of a public-house in Ful ham (a quarter of a mile from the shore), and obtained some refreahment.

The pot ,:toe crop has also suf fered materially in Scotland, and in the Highland dis tricts we fear t b .re must be an absolute want of meal for food. It is to be hoped that the improvement in the weather to-day may be general, and of some continuance, for the land, even in England, is completely soaked, and unless we have some da,y o of hard blowing weather, the seed time for the au t umn wheat will be in danger. All accounts confirm the o pini on that large importations will be required in the spring; but it is as yet impossible to calculate the quantity with any pretension to accuracy. We still adhere to 1,09,00 0 o f quarters, and possibly 2,000,000 before next hdrv est as the lowest computation. If the trade knew the natur e o f the modifications to be sent abroad. attempted in the scale of. duti es , orders would soon be TIMES.---Tee - dealers in the public` fit ndS hake ' shown little anxiety to do business to-day, and this is readily accounted for by the uncertain nature of the in telligence lately received from America, and a disposi tioirto remain quiet till the arrival of the Caledonia, the news by which will, it is expected, give some definite notion of our real position with the United States. Thus -will the opportunity be afforded (for which no doubt they are waiting) for the speculators to operate upon what they may judo the chances of the market, which is at present, having lately experienced such a shock, so sus ceptible that action to any extent is felt to be imprudent, especially ou the news of which we are now in pos session. Among the rumours current in the city is one that the the old system of lotteries' is about to be revived, and that a correspondence with the Treasury has already commenced on the subject. 11BRALD.—Areport Of the periodical meeting last week of the Shareholders in the Bank of Manchester, which is very briefly gi Ven in the Manchester Chronicle, is calculated to re-awaken - attention to the subject of Joint' Stock of the r e port it se lf is Bank management. The brevity owing to no overSizht .or omission on the part of the managers of that ably conducted journal, whose re porter was duly in attepee to chroni c l e w i t h custom ary fidelity Elsa part' ularproccedin gs. of the meeting, but he was refusasLadmission. -The Directors, however, although 11:174,444 to admit a reggh.rly licensed autho rity-for the purpose, were not averse to laying their own case, as draws up by themselves, before the public, and accordingly just so much of what passed on the occasion, and no more, was in the form of a paragraph issued to the press of that The amount of losses, confessed to b e " serious.," and in .the " ag grega te" a lar, sum, sustained in the past year are said to have been carefully estimated and written off; but there is not one word or figure to inti mate svliat those losses svere, or the quarters where in curred. That information is, it seems, snugly monopo lized for the recatises. of the bank " sweating-room," where it must be left to, the chosen few who have the keys. In respect of the reserved surplus fund amounting, losses deducted according ,to estimate unknown, to 19,300/. only, the Manchester Chronicle inquires what has become of the 150,0001 surplus reserve fund so tri mnphatly paraled a.year or two since ? The same paper dwells emphatically upon the necessity of an examina tion into the Directors' Own accounts with the bank, as well as into the accountsgeorally, and assuredly had the appointment of auditors been entertained, as it ought to havfi been, thero could be no: reason why one class should be sifted and •the other not. POST.—The failure expzeted to take place at Ham. burgh in consequence of that of Mr. Soares, the Purtu guese merchant hero, has beeO advised from thence. The relaxation of the Usury Lawwhich has taken . place within the last two or three years seems to be cal culated to work. changes in oar social system extending beyond the sphere of limitation contemplated by the ori ginators and prompters of the measure. Under the.ope raliVri of the new. principle, .the understanding between_ a country banking firm and its London agent, to the ef fect that. a balance arising upon a monthly rest shall be carried...on. With,_tbainterest„accumulated from interval to interval as rrincipermei'ety; that 'principal being again upon each occasion entitled to a fresh computation of interest, is held to be strictly binding. In the case recently decided, to betTken the two insolvent firms of Whittnore, Wells, and Co., and Daintry, llyle, and Co. (Manchester) a, substantial question mooted was, whether or not the debt claimed by the former upon the latter were tainted with usury. Messrs. Whit more and Co. had been in the prac tice of making up their account month b y month, adding interest to the balances due to them, and, by this process, including in that account (the transactions being of an extensive cha racter) a very large amount of compound interest. It is, however, held that, although the charge for ,interest could not, prior to the late enactment, have been main tained, it is now perfectly admissible. The agreement entered into,' and the course of proceeding, to the effect stated, arising out of that agreement, are found to be equally legititnate. The fact that, at the commencement of the- banking transactions of the parties, it was arranged that Messrs. Whitmore and Co. should be in the con stant possession of a cash balance on account of Messrs. Daintry and Co., to the amount of 5,000/., is held to be imbart othl% established interest-claim upon lahnr the e ed to of 5 per cent. per annum, principle ofmone wasthly rests. It is con s id ere d t h at the depositor 5,00 not designed as a means or cover for obtaining more than the ordinary rate of..interest for the loan or forbear ance of money ; but that it was intended simply as a re muneration for the trouble and expense the London house would incur in conducting the agency of the Mat chester bank, wording to the usual course of such a business. • SUN.—PriceS were a shade easier to-day. Consols for present transfer were 87=k to 87k, and for Account 874 to 88. Exchequer Bills only brought 11 to 13 premium, and India Build; Ito 2 premium. Bank Stock receded to 163 i, and 1644,-stnd India Stock to 2431 and 244. The New Three ands Half per Cents. wwe 97i to 97-11 ; the Reduced Throe alnd a Half per Cents. 964 to 961; and the'Three per Coat. Annuities 86 to The niarkoS As* Spanish Stock was nut so brisk to-day, and it would lA. well if more caution were exercised with regard to speculations in such a security. The money purchases, however, we are glad to state aro very limited just now. The Active Bonds were quoted to-day at 20 to 19a for Money, and 20 to 19} for Account. Portugueie .New Five per Cents. were dull at a decline to 293-,.and 29k. Brazil Stock still de clines to a serious extent, neither the buyers nor sellers being in any number. The price to-day was 53i to 51, a sufficient proof of the unsteady condition of the secu rity. Chilian Beads were marked 66k to 67 ; Colom bian were heavy at 19 ;. and Mexican at 244 to 231. Russian Bonds were firm at 112 to ; and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. quirt at 50i. The few bargains in shares were at barely previous rates. Brighton declined again a little, ranging from 111- to 101 di-count. Great Western were 94 ; the New 34-- to 1-4 -London and Birmingham Quarter, 16a; and South Western 12ii premium. 11Ianehester and Leeds were 13i, and North Midland New 71 discount. Pro vincial Bank of Ireland shares 16 premium. OVERFLOW OF THE THAMES. • Qne of the highest tides for many years took place yes terdayafternuon, about an hour or more before high water, half-pa:A four o'clock, caused by the violent gale of last night and -this morning, and the great fall ot• rain in the interior - Of the country. The river was in full flood, and must . have overfhwed its banks for many miles, it . may from the appearance in the me tropolis. Ua tho. Surrey side the streets a!org the river were covered with water, and some of them close to the banks, such as Pedlar's:acre, and the streets in continuation of it to- the cast, were inipasaa!ih', the water in many places being several feet deep. In Can non-row, Westminster, the scene was the _same., The water rushed with great force, not Only into the cellars, but the ground floor. The Gazette office, and all the houses in that locality, were completely flooded. At Westminster Bridge great crowds collected „,h e . Th e p ie rs on which the arches rest were completely immersed ; the water was within about halt a foot of the terrace in front of the new Houses of Parliament_; and at Hungerford-market it flowed fully half way up the wharf. A vast destruction of property all along the•banks must have Wen caused by this ex traordinary and unexpected event. FURTHER PARTICULARS. • Yesterday afternoon, the buildings on each side of the river were visited with one of the most destructive inundations within the memory of the oldest of their occupiers or owners. • The extraordinary spring-tide of March, 1828, which did so much damage to the contiguous wharfs.and fokced down embankments and walls was at' least 18 inches lower than that of yesterday, and was much less disas trous in its effects. It was not exceeded,. even by the inundation of the year 1821, when a most frightful loss of property occurred. RISING OF THE WATERS.—In the morning, atatleoll4, half-past eleven- o'clock, the time of low water, the river had ebbed so low that at parts it was nearly ford able, and some of the smaller steamers above bridge were actually for a time prevented from proceeding up the river by getting aground. , At about half-past one o'clock the tide was observed to rise in the must rapid manner.. At three o'clock the river had flowed above its common level, and the water began to rush into the cellars-and underground apartments. WAPPING.—At four o'clock the whole of the High street, Wapping, from Wapping Old-stairs, opposite the. Rectory-house, to New-lane, Shadwell, present e d the appearance of a canal, and he water flowed along the numerous courts and • alleys. Several boats commenced plying for hire, and the watermen conveyed a number of passengers to and from various houses. BANKSIDE.—AII the approaches to the Thames Police-office Court were cut off; and Mr. Broderip, the Magistrate, directed wherries to be - put in requisition to convey suitors and witnesses to and from the Court, and several boatloads were brought from different places and taken back again in the same way after their cases were disposed of. The whole of the cellars, parlours, and.' shops inWipping-street, Great Hermitage-atreet, Gravel lane, and about 100 other streets and- alleys leading oat of the main street, were under water suou after four o'clock, and Merchandise .of the most valuable de scription, ships' stores, furniture, and other property, floating about, involved in one common disaster. At Harrison's wharf; St. Katharine's, the inundation has . made sad havoc, and washed away 'much . • of the new work, and injured, the buildings lately • erected on this fine property. The Leith and Glasgow wharf was for the first time for 41 years inundated, and property to a large amount damaged and washed away. The houScs which have suffered most in 'Wapping are the Town of Ramsgate Tavern, at Wapping Old-stairs ; the Water men's Arms, Wapping New-stairs ; the Black Boy, kept by Mr. Brown, opposite, whose -gas-meter was destroyed ; the Ship, Execution Dock, where Mr. Johnson, the landlord; and his family were . obliged to retreat to the lead roof over the parlour ; • the White.. Swan opposite, and numerous others. The ship biscuit bakers and granary-keepers in this quarter :are also great sufferers. Tha water:extended to the house of lir. Pel ham, the solicitor, in Old Gravel-lane, 400 yards - from the river ; and it appears that an infant child of Mr.-Pel ham, which was left in a cradle in one of alio'parlours, had a very narrow escape. The mother. saved it. Corn ing doWn stairs about half-past four o'clock, she fotind the water had entered the parlour, and the .cradle , was afloat, with the child in it aileep; and quite, uncon-.. scious of.its danger. A poor iiiman . Was drowned in Plough-alley, Wapping. She was bed-ridden,. _and' the inmates of the house where sbeliVed forgetting her , iii the confusion which prevailed, the water, rushed, iii, filled the apartment where she was confined, - and :she was :drowned. It was reported that another female.. and her' child were drowned in a house near the same_ place. A young woman,-. named Caroline Hur.ter, on the ground floor of No. Plough-alley ; . had :a narrow. escape. She remained so-long in the house that retreat by the door was rendered impracticable, awl she cliing to the upper sash of the window fur upwards of half an hour screaming most piteously, the tide being rapidly - gaining on her. At length a lad named John Brander,, aged fifteen years, with a humanity that does him groat credit, stripped himself and instantly entered the water, and speedily broke o p en th e w i n d ow an d got_ out the poor girl. At high water the depth at the entrance of the St. Katharine's Dock was 31 feet 3 8-10 inches. The followiug wharfs were more or less flooded : Aberdeen, Beal's, Black Lion, Carron, Chamberlain's, Cotton's, Downes; Dublin, Fenning's, GriffinV Gun and Shot, Harrison's,' Hartshorn (Excise), - ? Hay's, Hore's, Leith and Glasgow, Leith and- Berwick, Sco vell's, St. George's, Stanton's, Stanton's Lower, and • Topping's. Owing to the flood, Tyrrell, the general postman, was unable to collect letters in Wapping in the evening. BLACKWALL RAILWAY.-At four o'clock in the after noon the trains discontinued running on the Blackwall Railway, in consequence of the railway being overflowed at the Rlackwall terminus, and this circumstance gave rise to ninny vague and unfounded rumours. The neigh. bourhood of Blackwall and the adjoining marshes were under water Co a great extent. The ship-building yards of Messrs.' Ditchburn and M are , Wigram and Green, and otherS, were overflowed, and everything was soon afloat. The water flowed over the Blackwall wharf on to the railway, and it was impossible to rtm.the trains with' any degree of safety. • The Tower and Custom house wharfs were under water. Darkhouse-lane, lintate, and Nicholson's-wharf were also overflowed. ROCIIEi3TER AND STROUD.-At Rochester and Stroud the coast appeared like a fair, crowds of people being employed in bailing w a t er out c ‘f t h e i r h ouses b y pa i l ": fulls. Several fields were entirely under water. At Gravesend one of the streets was knee deep, boats being able to be rowed along ; and in this state were the dif ferent villageS on the banks all the way up the river. Bromley and some of the adjoining parishes were flooded. GREENWICIL—The extensive rope grosinds of Enderby, at East Greenwich, were completely under water, which had forced the embankment. The Greenwich marshes, in the occcpation of Messrs. J. and T. Wheatley, the extensive coach proprietors, were covered with one sheet of water. The borough of Greenwich, from the Water man's-pier towards the church, a distance of 400 feet and upwards, presented a stream deep enough to float a large boat, and many of the arches of the Greenwich Railway might be passed through in . boats. Deptford-creek, Deptford-bridge, and the houses on the south side of Blackheath-road were inundated. On Sunday, soonafiC;l2 - O'clock, a lighter, from Grays, Essex, the property of Mr. Robinson, of Keiv, was run into by the British Rose schooner, belonging to Wisbeaeh. Thu wind was blowing a hurricane from the N.E at the time. She sank in deep water, with a cargo of 63 tons of chalk. Yesterdly, at 12 o'clock, as four men in a boat were weighing a kedge anchor, the boat upset, and one maxi immediately sank to rise no more. SOUTif SIDE: OF THE THA.MUS.-On the south side of the Thames, every house, warehouse and wharf, from the Platform, L ower - roa d, Deptford, up to Nine-elms, Battersea, was inundated ; and in several places the water extended to very little less than a quarter of a mile in shore froth low water mark. From the Custom4touse to Blackfriars-bridge about 20 barges were sunk, mid one loaded v,ith 28 tons of coal was actually blown oier just blow London-bridge. .11onrEaturnE.—Shortly after three o'clock the water at the - Platform and Paradise-row, Rotherhithe, passed the marks of any previous high tide. Ilotherhithe, up to Tooley-street, - presented the singular spectacle of a deep and rapid stream, and boats rowed aboUt to give as sistance.. The whole line of wh ar f s i n Tooley-street at one time looked more like wet-docks-and basins of water than places for the deposit of dry goods, which were to be seen floating about and coming in contact with each other, to the horror of the wharfingers. The same spec tacle presented itself on the west side of London-bridge, and in a short time the extensive wharfs of Ald. Hum- ph e ry, the granaries i n Mon t ague -cl ose, the flour wharfs, and the premises of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins were approached by the water, so as to cause the sacks of flour and pockets of hops to float about. BOROUGII MARKET.—At one period a considerable portion of the Borough-market was covered with water, while every house along 13/Aside and tke numerous courts, all of which are inhabited by working me n , were literally filled with water. In Union -street the water filled the cellars and shops of about eight houses situate opposite the Monument public-house. Th e houses in Prince's-court, amounting to about thirty in number, suffered very severely. The Bolvideri:. , -road, Edward-street, Vine-street, and the York-road, wer6 from 18 inches to two feet in depth. Great injury was sustained in Prince's-place, a new neighbourhood, con taining about 20 houses.

WESTMINSTER.—The whole of the lower part of Westminster was inundated. If Parliament had been sitting the Members could only hare reached the two Houses in boats. Palace-yard and . the adjacent streets were under water, and the floor of Westminster-hall was also overflowed. It is recorded that the Thames rose so high at Westminster in the year 1235 that the lawyers were brought out of the Law Courts in boats. A similar occurrence happened in 1736. lIUNGERFORD. — The wharfs at Ilungerford were under water. Cannon-row had become a brook or river. TO MARINERS.

Sta—As an elector of the borough of Reigate, I feel exceedingly anxious that you should assist us, by your powerful influence, in the cause now pending against the overseer of this parish. I deeply deplore the want of your assistance during the late election, feeling persuaded that so valuable an auxiliary as the press would have considerably improved our position on that, occasion. I fully rely that the legal proceedings which have commenced , will be decided in our favour, and thus effect • our political redemption from that vassalage which has hitherto bound us. And here I would ob serve, that much gratitude, on the part of the Liberal electors of the borough, as well as of all lovers of civil and religious liberty, is due to Dr. Bedford, for the zeal and perseverance he manifested in attempting to destroy the great influence of the Somers family, and of elevating our borough to the proud position of a free and independent constituency. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, R e igate, Oct. 14,1841. GEO. PIPER. Another Honey Buzzard (a very fine specimen) was shot by a gentleman a few days since at llowdo:Ash ton.

Prepared by order of the Operative Relief Committee ? eg le s,7 l l6 th ; WILLIAM MELVIN Convener. . Mr. MELv-iN stated that if trade continued in the pre sent depressed condition, it was calculated that, by the end of next week, 300 weave rs, who h ad work at present, would be thrown out of - employment. Mr. STIRRAT stated that the applications for relieflast week had increased at the rate of 60 a-day. Dr. BURNS entered into a statement to show the gra dual breaking down,of the people from the want of em ployment. First; the careless and indilferent applied for relief, followed by a better class. There was a third class, who had not yet applied, having probable j some thing to fall back upon, and there was a large body of respectable and industrious females out of employment that would never think of coming here to ask supply. lie thought .there could not be less than four or five thousand people, including children, that were really in need of supply. • A report was road from Johnstone, whi c h stated that there were 120 families, comprising 360 individuals, re ceiving relief: The averaga income of each family was Is. 60. per w e e k. The above destituti on arises princi pally from the stoppage of cotton m anufactories. A num ber-of judicious measures were adopted to collect funds fur the relief of the distressed, and a deputation was immediately dispatched to London, to soli c it t h e h ea d s of her Majesty's Government for their aid and patron age to a subscription ; and also to apply t o t h e London Relief C omm i t t ee , - and generally to procure contribu tions in the metropolis, and elsewhere . in England, for relief of the distressed operatives of this town and county. —Paisley Actvertiser; ARRIVALS.

Potter was unanimously called to the dis- sH oe): Smith, Es q ., on. entering the room, was re ceived with loud cheers. The CI AIIIMAN said 'they were' pritty ►well awar e o f the object. for which they . were assembled. It was to -combine for the purpose of forwarding the movement now going on to obtain a repeal of a law both obnoxious and unjust.—(Hear, hear.) He meant the Cornlows.— (Cheers.), He was confident that they would agree with him in. opinion that it was only by Union, by union assisted by kindness and good will, that they could look for success.— (Cheers) •They had :ne , t for the carrying out of a . very. great itteasure, and it' they acted peaceab'y but firmly, their work would b.; successful.— (Hear, bear.) Their opponents were indeed powerful, bat he recollected nn instance in which the people of England had firmly and unitedly expressed their opi nion, that it had not had its due influence. The aristc cracy must. be worked upon thr o u g h th e i r f ears , an d then, as on former occasions, they Would sue innb,—(Hear.) He had now the plcnaßre of introducing to their notice Mr. Sidney Smith--(Loud cheers)—a gentleman who had done much to as ist and enlighten the public) mind on-this important question, and to do away with the mys tification in which it had been so long involved. • Mr. SMITH then came forward amidst loud cheers and, in the cou rse o f a power f u l a dd ress, a bl y expatiated on the - advantages which England would derive from ar 'free trade in corn. lie had that day met with an extract from M'Culloch's Commercial Dictionary, of the deepest iMportance, - and which could not be too often impressed on the public mind. Holland was the only, country in the world in which the rulers had the wisdom to kayo the trade in corn entirely free, and what Lad been the; result ? They should hear, in Mr. M'Culloch's welds. —(He then read an extract from the work, to the effect that in Holland, where there were no Coat-laws, aseercity was unknown:) The only country whfch Was depend ent upon the whole world for its supplies was the only one in which there had never been.a scarcity of corn.— (Cheers.) And, not only had they never - had a scar city themselves, but they actually profited . by the occurrence of a scarcity in other countries—(Renewed rs) 7 ,-•and that even to the extent of enriching them thrtoif - `'ears were- tha-`adtan tages that had accrued to Holland, what would he the gain -to England if we had a free trade in corn ? For every port that Holland had, England could point to a dozen. For every article of barter that the Dutch pos sessed, England could point to a hundred.' I'm- every quarter of. corn that the Dutch could store up, England had capital large enough to store up a thousand. There was no advantage which the Dutch possessed in which this country was not immeasurably 'supe rior and .the beneficial conse quenc e s which would result if lye pursued the same line of enlight ened policy would be incalculable. —(Loud cheers.) London would be the granary of Enoland. For every one vessel of 'grain that now appeared in the Thames, we should have ten, and• for every ton of shipping now employed in that traffic, we should have a hundred. (Cheers.) But . the blessings would not be confined to the metropolis ; they would be extended,proughout the kingdom, and England would quickly become the gra nary of the world.—(Cheers.) We should then have corn seldom or ever above 30s. a quarter, whereas now, when it was at that price, in the market of the world, there was a tax on it of 555. Bd., or 180 per cent.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. Smith concluded au energetic lecture amidst great applause, Mr. Kircntso rose to More the first resolution, and in doing so he felt it unnecessary to enter into detail in 'consequence of : the able manner in which the subject had already heen treated by the able Lecturer.—(Hear.) The resolution was,." That the present Corn-laws aro oppres sive and unjust, and therefore ought to be wholly and .forthwith repealed." Mr. WALKER seconded the resolution. It was then rut from the Chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. FRAMPTON moved the next resolution. The landed aristocracy, and those who opposed the repeal of the Corn-laws, wero answerable for the misery which was so prevalent in the country.—(llear.) lie was one who thought that the poor man should have cheap bread. - (hear.) As he was coming to the meeting he called at a poor man's to leave a pair of shoes to be mended. Ile went to that man because he had a large family: On entering the kitchen, he found -three of the young children crying, and on inquiring what was the matter,, the mother said that they had had only one slice of bread, and were crying and unwilling to go to bid witliota another, which she had not to give. (Hear, herr). Tie thought that the children would be able to get an.)ther sli c e if th e C orn - laws were repealed, and thertlere he begged "to move the follor.ing resolution : " That should the lando'sninl, aristocracy continue their opposition to the repeal of the Corn-lam, .a measure, both reasonable and just, this meeting earnestly recom mend to their fellow-countrymen to adopt every practi cal measure to obtain compensation from the estates of the landowners in conjunction with the rePcal of the law." Air. AUSTIN seconded the resolution. It was then put an 1 carried with only cent. dissentients. • Mr. Come moved the next resolution, that an Aeo , ciation be now f o rm e d f or this district to - art iii conjunc tion with those already formed in other districts of this parish, and also ith the Anti-Corn-law Associations throughout the kingdom. lie felt convinced that the inhabitants of that district would do their duty.— (Cheers.) They had been late in the field, but that was only a reason for acting with greater energy.—(Cheers.) The time was come for every man to take this great question to himself. Such a time, he was satisfied, never was seen, and greater distress newer existed in the country.—(Hear, hear.) There Were strong indications that a scarcity of bread would be soon felt in the country, as well as a scarcity of employment. He had been told lately, by a friend of his engaged in tho corn trade, that a vast quantity of corn was now .being imported, on speculation, into this country, although the duty was now so high as 16s. Bd, per quarter. They might judge for themselves at what price corn must be before they let it out of th e i r hands again.-([fear.)Mr. CARR seconded th e reso l ut i on. • . • Some opposition was attempted by a few Chartists, and an amendment was moved to the effect, that to extend the suffrage was the best way of obtaining . a repeal of the Corn-laws. The original resolution was carried by an immense majority. A rote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair. Several gentlemen , then came forward and paid their subscriptions, and 'entered their names as nientbirs of the Association., , The mee ti ng t h en broke up. SPORTING .
