A Corns inittee of the Legislative Council,of which the Bishop of Austra lia was Chairman, in their Report to the Council in September last, state, that " Every department of industry is cramped; and no undertaking, public or private, can be prosecuted ex cept at an immer.se expense, owing to the exorbitant rite of wageq, and the inconceivable difficulty in procuring workmen, servants, or mechanics, upon any terms wharstver ; there is no part of the colony in which it may not. be truly said that there " an actual dearth of hands to carry on the ordinary business. In the instance of sheep farming, the distress arising from want of shepherds is almost incredible. Thus a very fatal check is put upon the advancing prosperity of the Colony." it was moved by THOMAS IC F.I.EY, Esq., of Nev South Wales, seconded by ALEXANDER SMITH, Esq., of Liverpool, and Resolved unanimously, That in the opinion of - this meeting it is in the highest de gree important that the supply of labour from these kingdoms to New South Wales should be encouraged and promoted by all Practicable means, and that every possiblefaeility and encourage ' ruent, consistent with the existing law of the land, should be afforded to all persons engaged in supplying it. In a Report. il of the Committee of the Legislative Council of New South '' Wales, they state "that to permit immigration to be suspended T, * checked in its extent, would be to seal -the death-warrant •-• '*f colonial prosperity, and to expose to certain ruin the nu merous flourishing and extending interests which have been created in the Colony,' ;and it may also be truly affirmed that any check in the supply of labour to New South Wales is also cal ,'elated, by reflection, to be highly injurious to the best into- Wsts of the Mother Country." It was moved by EMI' ARD DIVETT, Esq.. M.P., seconded sy JOHN GILCII xisT, Esq., of Glasgow, and Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting considers the Bounty system of Erni ' Pation, which was originated and established in the Colony, Richard the Colonial authorities, under the administration cf Sir ttichard Bourke, to have been a most valuable means of ob ' trailing the necessary supply of Labour, and to have conferred a vast benefit on the Colony. It is estimated that upwards of 12,000 persons emigrated to New South Wales last year under `, the operation of the Bounty system, and in the present year, ( 1 841) there is reason to believe that a vastly increased supply will be furnished unclsr this invaluable system, if left, as here tofore, to tho energy of those engaged in sending it out, Wnsbackled by the imposition of unnecessary and obstructive "conditions In their estimate of the great value of the Bounty system, this Meeting has the entire concurrence of Sir George Gipps, who, in a despatch to the Secretary of Stato for the Colonies, presented to, and printed by order of Pasha rnent, says " the Bounty system, however, has been found so far superior to that of Government Emigration, both as to the description of persons supplied by it, and the cost of their passage, that it appears to me very doubtful Whether any other should be persevered in ;" and in another despatch the Governor, speaking of the Report which had then recently-- been presented by the Committee on Emigration in ~. the Colony to the Legislative Council, thus expresses himself : Lard in no way able to dispute the correctness of the con .a.: chatiOns of the Committee, in respect to the superiority of the Bounty system over that which is carried on by the immediate agency of Government. The Bounty system is found to be 4/. Per head, or about 21 per cent. cheaper than the Government aystem, reckoning men, women, and children all alike, and taking no difference for the quality of the emigrants ; but if this difference be taken into consideration, and especially the !mealier proportion of children introduced by the Bounty sys ' t erns the advantage of that system must he estimated consi :' derably higher, and I am inclined to think with the Cammit tee, that 200 Government emigrants cost as much as 300 . Bounty ones of equal value to the Colony." This, it should be distinctly borne in mind, is the voluntary testimony of the Go tensor of the Colony, in his official communications to the Secretary of State. As respects that most important consi deration—the comparative state of health on board Govern tent and Bounty ships convoying passengers to New South • wales, it was stated in evidence before the Committee of the ,Legislative Council at Sydney in 1839, that the relative loss of la tuf en the voyage was as follows, viz. : F. , Government Bounty .., 1: Ships. Ship s . Of th e aggregate number on board lin 16 ... lin 34 Ditto of Adults Ditto of Children In the Report of the Committee of 1840, on Immigration, Presented to the Legislative Council, of which the Bishop of Australia was the Chairman, the Committee state—" In pri /ate ships under the Bounty system, there were embarked 884 Adults, viz., 423 Males and 461 Females, and 170 Children— lighty male and ninety female. The register of deaths among them has not been preserved, as will be found stated in the e vidence. As, however, no ships of this class have been placed HI quarantine during the past season, it is reasonable to believe, lsd it is, indeed, a matter of general notoriety, that the immi itsby, Bounty ships have arrived invariably in a state of good - s and that the casualties at sea have been exceedingly few." st Was moved by JAMES JOHN CUMMINS, Esq., seconded by NEIL CAMPBELL, Esq., and , ss ßesolved unanimously, That thus proved beyond all.questiea, as the superiority of the ',,cwinty system has been, as a medium for supplying labour to Colony, it is a duty of the most urgent obligation on the Part of the Government of this country, to encourage and pro kote that system by affording every possible facility and free dom from all unnecessary interference with those engaged in , ear/ling it on, consistent with the provisions of the existing ftw of the land, and the stringent regulations in force in i New South Wales. as respects all persons introduced into the Colony under the Bounty system. , It was moved by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., seconded by ROBERT BROOKS, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting has learnt with great alarm, that, acting ender the representations made to him by the Colonial Land C Emigration Commissioners, the Secretary of State for the ()lonics has permitted them to interfere seriously, and most In juriously, with those engaged in conducting Bounty emigra tioh in virtue of authority from the Colonial Government, and t inder strictly-defined conditions and regulations on the part of ?'hat Government; that the Commissioners have actually I ssued certain " conditions" of a most oppressive, and, as this , ,4.leeting entirely believes, wholly uncalled for nature ; which Conditions" are a direct infraction of the contracts entered I nto by the Colonial Government with persons resident in the . 1 4 lsny, the effeet of which, if persevered in, will, this Meeting h as reason to believe, be the immediate and large diminution )',, th e supp l y o f l a b our u n der the Bounty system, and its even tual and early abandonment by those engaged in it. loved by Joins LAMBERT, Esq., seconded by HENRY FLOWER, Esq., and „,.Resolved unanimously, that these consequences, so pregnant with cause for alarm, ~RI so greatly to be deprecated, will have a powerful tendency ' s rl . diminish, if not almost entirely to stop, the sale of land in " Colony ; the source:whence the means of furnishing the aisite supply of labour is derived, inasmuch as in the event f o l. ' the fl oc k owners being compelled to diminish their flocks, th O m the impossibility of obtaining shepherds and labourers, 'Y cannot require any increase of pasture, nor will fresh t patal be invested by others in the production of the grew' e tPle of the Colony : thus the means of defraying the cost of e i fiveying out emigrants will Ge seriously cridan e ,.“.ercd. °Ved by WILLIAM WALKER, Esq., seconded by GEORGE HAY DONA LnsoN, Esq., and Resolved unanimously, That ia _, this Meeting is desirous that all practicable security the comfort should be afforded to all persons emigrating under rColonial Bounties ; and is of opinion that the all-sufficient I .l .° Yisions of the Passengers Act, and the stringent regulations, r ßlaly enforced as they are, by the Colonial Government, as ,37Pects the introduction of labour under its authority (with tiVull and literal compliance with which the parties intro sisgeg it cannot obtain payment of the bounties), afford ample 1 - i tection and security to all persons proceedine- to New h nth Wales at the Colonial cost ; an I this Meeting is fully i i i °l le out in this view by the results of recorded investigations il ! the C o l ony by C omm ii tees o f the Legislative Coune .

TEMPLETON, Late Reporter for the " Manchester Times." W. S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster .row,lLondon ; 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-band I could 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, you 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. .1. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. "The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons are such as we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothino , 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 •n short-hand that a stud,nt can possibly lay hold of; and, viewing it in comparison with other works ou the subject, we do nut think it has a com petitor."—Manchester Times. " We have 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, Tensible, 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 enable him to acquire the art, and to practise it with success." —Leeds Times. " We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on th• subject that has yet been published."—Post Magazine. " Mr. 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 entiCe his olFervations on the teaching of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of Mr. 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 skillet in the practice as in the theory of shorthand writing."—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 short-hand to be able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Dublin Evening Packet. " 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 ho has not himself found to be so—and that the writer of th:s, who has had sumo fifteen years experi e n ce i n th e L aw C our t s , a t p u bli c meet i ngs, and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet. 44 Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac tise it, as they see it ettery day used by those connected with the Press, will leain ' the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and re severe with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to lose at once their moneyand their time—will deal with the advertising quacks who profess to make men accomplished stenonraphists in a few days—th ey m i g h t as we ll p ro f ess to _ teach 's child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced learning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton professes no such thing. lie gives six good lessons in short. hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with sound advic e , t hat requires only to be followed to be most profitable."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger. "After giving Mr. Templeton's book a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in recommending it as toe best work on the subject we ever happened to meet."—liolton Free Press. " 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 while the rub s an d exerc i ses are so plain they cannot be misunderstood."—York ali(i i n succinct Nvr i t t i h n a g t , Herald. _ . . " To those who are about to engage in tl e study of this use ful and interesting science we woulo 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 connectian with the newspaper press in some of the largest towns in this country."--Yorkshireman.

As the Great North of England Railway is now com pleted to Darlington, and in active operation, the com munity of Edinburgh and those parts of Scotland north of the Forth are peculiarly interested in having the Lon don mail brought in at an hour which will save the inha bitants of Edinburgh and vicinity one day's course in their correspondence with the great metropolis—the present speed allowing this great advantage to those only who can procure their letters early, which at present is not du ring the usual hours of business. This subject is not new to the authorities of the Post office, nor to their masters, the Lords of the Treasury. Several memorials were some months ago submitted to the point, but, as is usual on such applications at first, very cavalier replies were given. both departments, urging These men at bead -quarters ought surely to have learnt by this time that the battering ram Perseverance has in very many instances within a few years borne down the off hand negatives bestowed on the first propounders of any change in Post-office arrangements. Meetings after meetings, memorials upon memorials, when the cause was good, did the job at last. It is to be hoped, therefore, that a little quiet agitation will, ere long, bring about %hat, there can be little difficulty in showing, is attainable with almost no extra exertion.

A meeting of the deputies of the various Ant:-Corn law Associations of the kingdom was held on Thurs day at the Associations' Rooms, Newsll's Buildings, and afterwards by adjournment at the Corn Exchange, Ihng ing Ditch, for the purpose of considering t'e course of proceeding to be recommended to the meeting in Lon don, when the question is next brought kftre Parlia ment. This meeting was convened by a circa:l- from the Manchester Association, of which the following is a copy :_. " National Anti-Corn-law League, Manchester, April 2, 1641. "Dear Sir,—l am desired by the Council of the Na tional Anti-Corn-law League respectfully to request your attendance at a Conference of the Deputies, which will take place at Manchester on Thursday, the 15th of April inst , for the purpose of considering the course of pro ceeding to be recommended to the meeting in London. " Although it is highly imports et that the meeting should be as numerous as peosible, and the Council earnestly desire the attendance and co-operation of every gentleman whose engagements will allow him to he present, yet they feel it due to their friends at a distance to state that as the proceedings will be of a prelimi nary character, they hope no one will inconvenience himself to be present, who would thereby be prevented at tending the more important meeting in the metropolis when the question is next brought before Parliament. " Awaiting the favour of your reply, I have the honour to remain, dear Sir, your obedient servant, "By order of the Council of the League, " GEORGE WILSON, Chairman." From this letter, it will at once be seen that a very large attendance of deputies was hardly to be expected, but, notwithstanding this, the number far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Council. The meeting at the Association's Rooms was private ; reporters, therefore, were not admitted, but we under stood it merely was for the purpose of making some preli minary arrangements. To the meeting in the evening, held in the Corn Exchange, the members of the Associa tion were admitted by ticket. At the hour announced for the commencement of the proceedings the large room, which will accommodate an immense number of persons, was completely crammed with respectable persons, con sisting of merchants, manufacturers, tradesmen, and a lumber of the most intelligent Operatives. Amongst the Deputies and Gentlemen present were— the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M. P., R. H. Greg, Esq., M.P., Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M. P., E. Baines, jun., Esq., Leeds ; R. Cobden, J. B. Smith, W. Rawson, George Wilson, J. C. Walker, E. Armitage, Thos. Potter, jun., A. Nodal, and John Brooks, Esq., Manchester ; Sir J. Walmsley, H. T. Atkinson, and W. Duffle, Esqra., Liver pool ; J. Higginbottom, Esq., Ashton ; H. Royland, Esq., Warrington; J. Bright, Rochdale; G. Barlow, D Mellor, and E. D. Hall, Oldham; H. Ashworth, and A. W. Poul ton, Bolton; Alderman T. Chutham, E. Dooley, W. H. Sifter), G. Rollinson, and Alderman Hollins, Stockpert ; M. Clayton and R. Milligan, Bradford ; T. M. Gibson and James Wilson, Esq., London ; and several others. Many of the Manchester Gentlemen were deputed to represent vat ious places in the neighbourhood. On the gentlemen entering the room they were received with loud applause. The Chair was occupied by J. B. SMITH, Esq., Pre sident of the Manchester Association. The CIIAIRNIAN in opening the business of the meeting observed that their object was to consult on a plan of action in the forthcoming campaign, which would be laid before them in tle resolutions which would be presented before the meeting. Sinc© their last annual meeting they bad used their best endeavours to diffuse information amongst the people on this important question, but they had met with much opposition from their opponents, and those, too, were men from whom they might have expected better things—the clergy. This was not a political party association, for no max compro mised one iota of his political principles by becoming a member of that Association. It embraced men of all poli tical opinions —Tories, Whigs, and Chartists. It was a remarkable circumstance that every meeting they had con. vened they had never seen a single hand held up in favour of the iniquitous Corn.laws ; and the time was fast ap proachiog when the only hands which would b held in favour of them would be in the House of Commons and the House of Lords.—( Cheers.) Mr. J. WILSON, of London, was called upon to move the first resolution. He adverted to the opposition to the repeal of the Corn-laws by the Chartists, and contended that there was no class of persons so much interested in their repeal as this class of people, because by their repeal the whole world would be a field for their labour. Wnat would the labouring classes do if there were no capitalists to employ them ? and, on the other hand, what would be the use of c ipital without labour ; and as capital and labour were thus dependent on each other, why was it that a class of persons were continually endeavouring to sow dissension amongst these parties ? Their interests could not be separated; indeed, ell the interests of society were so hound together, that it was impossible to injure one part without in a measure injuring all. No honest person, there fore, could seek to promote such dissension. Now, if there were a greater extent for the employment of capital, what would be the case if the Corn-laws were repealed? It must be obvious that there would be a greater demand for labour, and that !above would consequently obtain a better price. ( Hear, and cheers.) The Gentleman then entered into a variety of statistics with a view to prove that it was abso lutely necessary, for the continuance of the peace and pros perity of the country, that these laws should be repealed. He moved the resolution, which was : That this Meeting recommend the Council:of the National Anti-Corn-law League to invite by circular the Depu ies from all the Anti-torn-law Associations of the kingdom, to assemble in London at the time when Mr. Villiers shall bring forward his annual motion upon the Corn-laws." J. C. DYER, Esq., was called upon to second the resolu tion. He said it was time they united all the interests of society to bring about a cordial operation and united ac tion, and that they should not cease agitating the ques tion until they had completely triumphed in obtaining the total repeal of the Corn-laws —(Cheers.) Those who were interested in the maintenance of these iniquitous laws had made it out to a considerable extent in the country, that they were aiming at the repeal of the Corn-laws with a view to depress the value of labour—than which a greater fallacy could not be promulgated. He would not say a word against the present Legislature if be believed they continued these laws through ignorance of their mischizvous operation ; but they dared not and would not inquire into their operation, because the majority of the Members of both Houses of Parlia ment were extensive landholders, and by these laws, while they starved the working classes, they enlarged and swelled their rents.—(Cheers.) There were, however, a few honest men amongst them ; and those men were de serving of their highest commendations and most sincere gratitude ; amongst them none more so than their II i•!nd who would shortly address them—the Hon. C. P. Vil. liers.—( Immense cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was CM tied unanimou: and amid loud cheers. Mr. J. Braoter, of Rochdale, then rcso to MOV2 the second resolution ; in doing which be delivered an ener getic address in opposition to the Corn-laws, which he de signated as a tax laid on by the aristocracy of this country, that they might oppress the labouring elegies.—(Lout cheers.) The resolution was, " That, in the opi nion of this snorting, it is desirable that the De puties, et their approaching visit to London, should wait personally upon the Members of the House of Com mons to ascertain their views upon the bread and previ sion laws."—(Cheers.) He hoped they might succeed in persuading them to come to juster views than those they alreidy entertained.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. W. DUPRE, a Member of the Operative Anti- Corn-law Association of Liverpool, seconded the resolu tion in an energetic and humorous speech, in the course of which he was loudly cheered. Some confusion was then created by a Charti.t named Louie, who rose to speak, but the Chairman informed him that, not being a deputy, he could not be heard, that being a meeting of deputies from various places. After some further explanation from the Chairman, Linnie was heard. His address, however, was altogether irrelevant to the purposes of the meeting, and crested great con fusion. The Chairman then put the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. The Hon. C. P. VILLIERS', M. P., was next introduced, and war. received with load and de tfening cheers, which were renewed again and again, amid waving of hats and clapping c,f hands. He said, Mr. Chairman and Genet men, I beg to acknowledge, so far as language ail allow me, my feelings of gratitude for this reception. It is the best, as it is the only reward for which I look for any slight exertions I may have made, or do make, for the good of tae country.—(Hcar, hear.) It is only consistent with what I have observed whenever I have addressed any portion of the people, to see the %cry ready appreciation of any sincere service that is offered to Le tendered to the people. Gentlemen, I have great plea sure is having the honour of meeting you upon this occasion, assembled as we are here in the cause for which we are making a common struggle, for I see in it a fur ther proof of the intert.st and attention which the pe-- ple arc giving to this question ; and as the humble a 'vacate of this cause in Parliament, 1 assura you that I am much alive to this circumstance—( Hear, hear) ; for I, from my experience in that assembly, know, flat without popular influence from without nothing can be done.—( Hear, hear.) But Ido believe that with a manly, spirited, and determined co-operation on the part of al, people, they may yet succeed in obtaining the repeal of these laws.—(Uhe , :rs.) I believe that this co-operation I shall receive ; and it is another source of satisfaction that I have in addre3sing you, that we may now. discuss the prospects of this questio❑ rather in the language of hope than in any tone of despair. The country is, I believe, alive to the true cause of so much evil as we see in it ; the people are denouncing in every part of the country that system which enables one class ,to rob another, and the strongest class to rob all—( Hear, hear)—and it is cheering to see the great principles of liberty and equality are now being invoked to redress the wrongs of industry and commerce, as they have been before invoked to re lieve the mind and body of man from the slavery under which he was oppressci. —( Cheers.) Gentlemen,since I last had the pleasure of addressing an assembly in this extensive N and intelligent district, our cause has greatly progressed. I should not have despaired of it had it stood still where we then left it. But there are signs of its pro. PRICE sd. gress. 1 believe the truth of the evils of these laws has reached the recesses of power, and the strong holds of monopoly are beginning to be shaken.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, it is, in fact, the appalling distress which has borne down the productive classes and ensbarrissed trade for the last three years, that has commanded the public attention to the averments and statements we have made of the evils which follow those laws ; the monopolists have been at last put upon their defence, and I defy any candid man to say they have been able by any. thing they have urged to strengthen their case by any justice which they have shown it to rest upon.—(Hear, hear.) And if we have been able to make coaverts and to rouse men from indolence and ignorance upon this subject, when we consider what gigantic power is opposed to us,—a power which derives its influence from its social position, and its pecuniary means, can you see any reason why our ef forts should not succeed ?—(Cheers ) And it is owing to the energy and sacrifices of various kinds that have been made in this district, and by many gentlemen around me, for which we arc indebted to the disclosure of facts the circulation and disclosure, and the impression upon the , public mind of facts connected with these laws—thel I I believe no subtlety, or ignorance, or clamour will ever be sufficieuta to-- suppress or efface. (Hear, hear, hear.). And, Gentlemen, I am satisfied that if their contemporaries do not appreciate the services of the League, they w'll be appreciated by posterity.— ( Hear.) And let me say it is no argument against any body, for the efforts they may make, that they receive abuse and little thanks on all sides; because I am rot aware that any great good was ever accomplished in this world that has not been repudiated by many, and that has not met with various resarses. And I believe that the truth, heralded in as it is by a smell minority, will eventually triumph and obtain the gratitude of the people. Gentlemen, from hiving now for four years running mooted teis ques tion in the House, I have watched with great anxiety tho progress it has made in public opinion ; and it is with core. fidence that I can announce that we are progressing, that we are more confident in the justice of our cause, and that we do receive accessions of numbers to our body. I find this proved by the arguments which arc advanced against me in the House. When this question was first mooted there was no falsehood or fallacy that could be conceived that was not urged against the motiou.—( Hear.) I was told that the landed interest psi I all the taxes—( Laughter) -..that they were the only customers to the manufacturers, and that it was the high price of bread which brought good wages to the people. —( Hear, hear.) I was asked if I did not know that to be true ? I answered that I not only did not know it to be true, but that I knew it to be abso lutely false.—(Cheers.) These things were so frequently repeated that it was determined upon to test the truth of these alleged facts in a Committee of the House of Commons. A Committee was therefore appointed to inquire into the sources of the revenue, and enquire who paid the taxes. The landlords emaintained that they paid all the taxes, and that the debt could not be paid unless they had the Corn. laws. When we went into this inquiry we called on the officers of Government to give us some account of the taxes which were raised; and we called on the persons connected with the Board of Trade to tell us upon what articles, and what sums were raised from those things imported from foreign countries; and they told us that twenty-two millions of money were raised by this means. Still it was said that the landlords paid it. We inquired the nature of the articles from which this sum was raised, and we were told that about ten articles paid twenty mil lions of the revenue, and that these articles were tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco, spirits, wool, flax, and fruit. These were some of the things which gave twenty millions to the revenue of this country, and which the landlords of this country said they ought to have the Corn-laws to enable them exclusieelytopay.--( Hear,and laughter.) Now, gentlemen, the advantage of that inquiry was that they could not very well repeat that, and that you could nut very well remain in ignorance of how much you pay of taxes as well as the landlords.—(Cheers.) The claims of the landlords to have Corn-laws wire very much like the claims of the butcher or baker, who because they had taxes to pay, came forward and wanted an Act of Par liament, to make you pay more for your bread and your beef than you de.—(Hear, hear.) The landlords only pay taxes as well as you.—(Loud cheers.) But, Gentlemen, the next thing they told us was that they were the best customers of the manufacturer.—(Laughter.) And that if they bad not the Corn-laws they would not be able to have any rents, and, consequently, could not purchase the manufactures of Manchester.—( Hear, hear.) This, therefore, became the subject of inquiry in this Com., mittee, and our excellent Chairman (Mr. Smith) was among the witnesses who were called before us, and he pretty well satisfied us upon the question, for ho told as of your foreign customers, and that you exported 4.sths of the cottons which ycu manufacture in this county.— ( Hear, hear.) That, therefore, did not seem to prove that your best customers were the landlords of the country. —( Cheers.) But it was said and known that Mr. Smith was an old offender, an old agitator for the repeal of the Corn-laws; we, therefore, called in some persons who exclusively supplied the agriculturists. Amongst them was a hosier from Leicester. And we told him what was said about the Corn-laws; that they enabled the people to buy his goods. The man seemed perfectly surprised that such a thing should have been said. He complained that trade had never been known to be so bad as it had been for the last two years. We asked him why. He said the thing was quire clear; the price of provisions was so high that no one bad any thing left to buy goods with. We asked• him if this was always the case; he said cer tainly not; the present state of things was a perfect pro verb amongst their travellers; for they invariably re mrrked that when they found the price of provisions high, they knew there could be no orders.—(Hear.) Well, now then, there is another fancy some people have, and it seems to me to be one of the most singular ones ever entertained upon this matter; and that is, that the condition of the people must be wtrie if the Corn-laws are repealed, and that some people expect that they are to be worse off if the price of bread fall. But why does the:price of bread fall? Because there is more of it. And so it follows that because there is more of a thing the people are to have loss of it.—( Laughter.) Now as I see that there is some doubt about this, and that many people really think that w ,ges would fall if food were more abundant, there is ectu.lty an inquiry to be instituted upon the meeting of Parliament upon that subject ; and our friend Sir W. Mole swarth, the Member for Leeds, has agreed to move for a committee to inquire into the connexion lettween the price of food and the rate of wages.—( Cheers.) And Ido hope that every work ing man who bee an opinion to give upon this subject, and who feels an inequation to give evidence will come forward. —( Hear, Lear.) I can answer for myself, and for many with me in this matter, that we have no class or party in terest to serve in this matter. Our simple object is to benefit all; and I can truly say that there is no class we aro so desirous to be refit as that which constitutes the greatest number—the working classes of the country. We arc advocating the mime of those who think that the power of this country is not wisely distributed; and if they interrupt us in that proceeding, or if they are satisfied with the present laws, they must see that they are advanc ing an argument against themselves; for, if the Cure laws are good and ought not to be repealed, I don't think there is much ground of complaint against the present constitution of Parliament. But what ever others may do I cannot help thinking fleet those who are leagued together for the abolition of these laws, are bound to attempt by every fair and leg iti mate means to persuade and convince the community at large that the peace of the country and the welfare and prosperity of the induarious classes cannot be better pre. muted than by a free and unrestricted intercourse between nation and nation. The lion. Gentleman sat down amidst the meat enthusiastic cheering. Some other addresses were delivered, and the meeting terminated at half pa: .t ten o'clock. SIR E. L. BULWER. AND THE UNKNOWN TONGUES. We wish some etymological correspondent would have the goodness to tell 113 what is the language the persons in the following dialogue, extracted from Sir E. L. Bul wer's play of Money, aro presumed to make use of 4. MACSTUCCO. " Ile's a mon o' teeste ' Mr. Evelyn. H e tau lk s o ' buy ing a veela, just to pool down and build oop again. Ah, Mr. Macfinch, a design for a piece of pleute, eh MACFINCII (shelving the drawing). " Yces, sir, the shield (. 1 Alexander the Great, to hold ices and lcmon3cle I It will cost two thoosand pound I " MACSTUCCO. " And it's dirt cheap. Ye're Scotch, ern% ye? " MetcpiNcii. _ _ " Aberdounshire 1 Scraitch me, and I'll scraitch you 1" We recommend this to the notice of the editor of the new edition of Jamieson. Our discreet Manager has omitted it, u something equally beyond his own compre heneon and that of his audience. Where is " Aberdoun shire ?" We suspect it is a fictitious entity created by a logical deduction from the curiously geographical peregri nations of Wordsworth's Peter Bell, who wandered " All through the bonny shire of Ayr, As far as Aberdeen.' Aberdoun has evidently a much nearer kindred to the shire of Ayr. What is the meaning of " teeate?" What does a man do when ho " taulka ?"—anything like what we in Scotland would call conversing ? What is pool ?" What is " oop ?" Above all, what is " scraitch ?" Is it a synonym to the English " scratch," and the Aber. deenahire 'cart?" We suspect Sir Edward's notions of Scotch are much like those which Hood's lady Mood, mentioned in his " Up the Rhine," formed of German, viz., English misspelt and mispronounced. The lady in question, wishing to make a German cook un derstand that a fowl was wante d for dinner , gro p cd about in the dark for a German translation of tbe word, thus ; "Itis a live creature —a bird—a bard—a beard—a hen—. a bone—a fowl--a—fool— a foal; its all covered with featbers—fathers— feeders—fedders." This last was a hi t near the mark, for it produced a bundle of stationers' quills ; the lady, however, would bare found a much more distinct key to conversation with German cooks by learn. ing the German language; and Sir Edward, and some other writers of the Cockney school, who venture t draw Scottish life, would be far more accurate in the'r dis course, if, instead of merely guessing at our language, they were to learn it.—Scotsman.
