M en o f Eng convince them that you are not to be duped. 4 You overthrew the iron despotism of the mighty tnrperor NAPOLEON, and it is impossible that you should settle down the slaves of such mercf.mary, avaricious, imbecile tyrants as the Z wners of rent. They are great only by our ex rerr.e humility. Our worship makes them strong. • Fools that we are, life Israel's fools of yore, The calves ourselves have fashioned we adore, But let true reason once resume her reign, These gods sh a ll d w i n d le i nto calves again." The Corn-laws and similar laws made by the calves, whom we have elevated to be gods, are the curse of the country. They afflict the com munity with hunger and dearth. They stop up the channels of legitimate enterprise, and make the energies of our population overflow into vil lanous subterfuges, tricks, and contrivances— (not half so bad, however, as the landlords' laws, though the people are punished for them), — , wholly unworthy of a free and cle ver peop l e. They doom our young men to idleness, I (4 0 , and our young women to a childl ess life. They convert the holiest virtues into offences, and the sweetest affections they turn into bitter anguish. 13y preventing men from p rov idi ng eas il y an d decently for fami *"."., lies, they make marriage a crime.

They rely on it, they say, for the preser vation of order. At the same time they hold it up to public odium by asserting that the detestable bread-tax is levied in order to enable the land lords to pay the priesthood. Their conduct is ar rant hypocrisy. The priesthood and the land. owners combine to tax the people under a false pretext, and as long as they succeed, and no longer, will they agree together. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 21.—Our Cotton Market almost throughout the week has been very inanimate, the trade generally showing no disposition to purchase more than an immediate supply. Prices, notwithstanding, remain tolerably steady, which is the more remarkable, when we con sider the heaviness of the stock and the immense increase of it during these last few days. Brazil and Surat have been more in demand, at last week's quotations. 30 p 0 bales of Ame rican and 100 bales of Sur at are taken on seculation, and 200 bales of American, 150 bales of Panams, and 950 bales of Surat for export. 1,200 bales sea placed are declared for public sale on Friday next. Thisleing a general holiday ft° business has been transacted at the 'Stock Exchange. The Thomas P. Cope, arrived at Liverpool, from Phila delphia, in lat. 44, lon. 52, fell in with a great quantity of ice, and was in it five days ; weather very thick and stormy from the southward. May 6, lat. 45, lon. 49, from eight A.M. to six P.M., passed a sail of square-rigged vessels standing to the westward; next day passed fourteen sail standing same way. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MAY 21.—There is rather more disposition to buy at low prices, although there is but very little doing.

Owing to the state of political affairs, the various markets for commercial transactions were in an exceeding dull state. The exports have been of a very trivial nature, and the home trade was only sufficient to meet the actual wants, and large parcels of goods have been brought to public auction, and sold at reduced prices. The intelligence of unfavourable accounts from the manufacturing districts, with the failure of some old standing firms in the City, has caused money, during the course of the week, to become scarce, and in demand. The approaching elections will also paralize every descrip• tion of business, as well as the operations in the funds. In a few days the tu•moil of elections will commence, which will decide the cast of the die. THE FUNDS.

Not a bargain doing. THE MONOVOLISTS' MAJORITY OF THIRTY-SIX. It is important that the friends of free trade should look at the sources from whence their strength is to be gathered up, to break down the phalanx which the monopolists deem im pregnable. It is constantly said, " Look at the counties ! they wal all be against you.' And what if they are ? If the cities, towns, and boroughs are true to their interests, the coun ties may remain " alone.in their glory," and may boast, if On please, that they have not a friend of FREE TRADE and LIGHT TAXES amongst them. England and Wales return FIVE HUNDRED MEMBERS; of these 53 counties (including the Isle of Wight) and the Two Universities, return 201 CITIES, Tow:4s, and Rollout:Hs return 337 and BOROUGHS, then 500 , send more tharrnhdeotCla% number erof votes that are sent by the counties. Is this a fact to discourage the men of the towns, and to in duce a dastardly submission to the tyranny sought to be im posed by the LANDLORDS and MONOPOLISTS, by means of their power in the counties? Let them carry all the latter (which, however, they cannot do), together with such of the smaller boroughs as are under their domination, and yet the above figures prove that they cannot maintain their majority if the towns declare for light taxes in preference to heavy. It may comport with the honour, as it certainly does with the the interest of the landlords, to strike a bargain with the sugar monopolists, as was done by the Members for Lincolnshire on Tuesday night, and to say, "It is true onr SEttrs would like to have cheap sugar as well as the rest of the people, but we will compel them to pay your tax, if you will assist us to maintain ours ;" but the question is, will the TOWNS —will the CITIES, SEAPORTS, TOWNS, and BOROUcnis, re turning, as they do, more than two to one for the counties — will they stand by, and, witnessing this infamous compact, ra tify it by their votes ? It is impossible. In SCOTLAND and IRELAND the good cause is safe, and the of the TOWNS !! it is proved to you that you monopolists, knowing this never express even a hope as to the constituencies there declaring on their side ; they reserve this honour for ENGLANP only ! I ha U ve r t htehrente,meretno crush the monopolists. The opportunity is about to be afforded you. Crush them NOW, AT ONCE, and FOR EVER. CRISIS.

This being the first day of- Trinity Term, the LORD CHAN CELLOR did not take his seat in his Court at Westminster Hall till nearly two o'clock, having to entertain the, Judges, Mas ters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel to breakfast at. his Lordship's house, in Bruton-street. His Lordship, on taking his seat, was accompanied by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice- Chancellor, and Masters Farrar and Sir Giffin Wilson. MANSER V. THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN EAILWAT COMPANY. The COURT, after hearing several short applications, pro ceeded with the further arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon an application praying for an injunction to restrain the defendants from erecting a bridge across a stream which worked the mill of the plaintiff, who is a miller at Hodvion. The arguments were proceeding when we went to Press. VICE-CHANCERY- 7 (T HIS DAY.) His HONOUR entered the Court this day at a quarter to two o'clock, and on his taking his seat on the bench said that he wished to mention, for the information of the gentlemen of the Court, that he would not be able to sit on Tuesday next, as an arrangement had been made by the Lord Chan cellor for hearing the cause of Woodsville at the Privy Council on that day. His HONOUR then proceeded to hear motions, which pos sessed no feature of interest. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord Chief Justice, with Justices Coltman, 'Mule, and Erskine, came into Court at a quarter before two o'clock. Although there was a full attendance of Sergeants the Court went through the whole bar without any gentleman moving. Their Lordships then took the new trial paper, and one or two cases, in which the Learned Sergeants were not prepared, were struck out. THE CRISIS. We see by the Votes of the House of Coin mons that a considerable number of petitions, against any alterations in the Corn-laws, is pre sented, but each petition is signed by very few persons. They are in general presented by some High Churchman and Tory, such as Sir ROBERT INGLIS, the Member for the University of Oxford, Mr. PAKINGTON, or Sir THOMAS Ac- LAND. Many of these petitioners come with pe titions for Church Extension, from which circum stances we infer that the clergy of the Esta blished Church are the real manufacturers of these prayers for the continuance of the bread tax. There is no doubt that they are actively engaged in bolstering up that tax, and nothing that we may say can add, we believe, to their hostility. We do not, however, understand their policy in uniting with the landlords, and so bringing on the Church all the animosity which the people must necessarily feel for the cause of poverty, hunger, and starvation. The clergy man should be the poor man's friend, but he unites with the landlords, makes himself the enemy of the poor, and causes the Church to lose all hold of the affections of the people. It is a favourite maxim of Sir ROBERT INGLIS and the High Church party that the Dissenters have acquired their houses and lands subject to Church-rates ; that they gave so much less for them on account of the rates; and therefore Sir ROBERT and his friends say the Dissenters are unjust for wishing to increase their property by throwing off the tax. The same argument holds good as to tithes. The great majority of the pre sent race of landlords have acquired their pro perty subject to sharing it with the Church. In fact, the landlords when they purchased the land purchased only nine-tenths of it, and gave so much less for it. They are not owners of the whole but only of nine parts, and the tenth part belongs to others. We are not defending the institution of tithes, but they seem as valid (gnoad the landlords) as the ownership of the soil, and the landowners have no more right to complain of not having the tenth part which they never purchased or inherited, than Lord WINCHILSEA has a right to complain that Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL'S estate does not belong to him as well as his own. At the same time the landowners do complain of it, and what is more, they maintain the Corn laws, in order to relieve themselves from tithes, or take from the people an equivalent in the shape of a bread-tax, for that which never be longed to them. So general have their doctrines on the subject become, that our readers will have seen in our extract yesterday, from the Journal des Debats, that the French paper, in speaking of our Corn-laws, justifies what it calls protec tion for agriculture against foreign productions, on account of the landlords having tithes to pay. Mr. RICARDO advocated a fixed duty on the same account; and the writer, whose pamphlet we referred to ten days ago, avowedly takes up Mr. RICARDO'S opinions. In the same manner, Mr. HODGES defended the Corn-laws a few nights ago in Parliament, because the tithes still exist, though they had been commuted, which, however, put an end to many incidents of tithes injurious to the landlord, while it still left him merely minus the tenth part of the estate. The argument, therefore, that the landlords should tax the people's bread, because they are subject to the payment of tithes, means that they are to wring from the people by law an equivalent for that tenth part of the produce of the land which never belonged, and does not now belong, to them. They might as well tax our bread because they have to pay jointures and annuities to their dowager mothers and lady sisters. We are aware that the clergy, whose income in part depends on the price of corn, have a trifling interest in keeping up the Corn-laws, but we are surprised that they should make common cause with the landlords, who treat the claims of the clergy as an incumbrance from which they compel the people to relieve them. They admit, by supporting the Corn-laws, because the land has to pay tithes, that they have not as good a right to them as the landlords have to their estate. To us it seems as if the landlords made a cat's-paw of them, or they made a cat's-paw of themselves to drag the landlords' chestnuts out of the fire. Be the cause avarice, ignorance, or sheer folly, the bulk of the clergy, we believe, make common cause with the landlords in their endeavours to uphold the bread-tax. We thought that the Church was unpopular enough without affixing on it this additional stigma. It stands in the way of popular educa tion; it stands in the way of general harmony and unanimity; it is openly opposed to perfect freedom ; the Catholics and Dissenters are op pressed in its name ; it is considered a public nuisance; and now the landlords represent it, and the clergy confirm the landlords' representa tion, as the cause of the Corn-laws. They are kept up, it is said, to enable the landlords to pay tithes. For the sake of the Church, bread is made dear and the people starved. So the Church, and with the Church the religion which it professes to teach, and the morality which it is supposed to inculcate, are made odious by being associated with the accursed bread-tax. If it be curious to see the clergy lend them selves to this manoeuvre of the rent-owners, the conduct of the latter towards the Church is as in consistent. They represent-it as mortal to the The storm thickens, the war waxes hot, and wrathful contentions in Parliament are taking the place of that dull, peaceful, wordy display which showed that the House was uninfluenced by the strong feelings which pervade the com munity: The Tories, we hear, have resolved to to oppose the Bill for renewing the sugar duties. They mean to stop the supplies unless they—virtu ous high-minded patriots! are allowed to adminis ter the affairs of the country. Be it so. We desire nothing better. The country, tired of the present state of wretchedness, without any hope of relief, will hail the contest with delight. Worse it cannot well be ; and by every a;itation, it must throw off some of 7 . the feculent matter, which scattered now through the mass, impedes the healthy action of every individual. We hope that the Tories have screwed up their courage boldly to arrest • the march of the Government in the way of im provement. They will only give a greater sti mulus to the people to rise up to its aid. If the Tories would stop the Supplies to obtain power, they would dethrone the QUEEN. We recommend to the attention of tradesmen, as well as legislators, a letter on " Usury-laws," given in another column. It is written by a gentleman who, from his professional duties and the attention he has paid to the subject, is well qualified to judge of the ruinous effects of the present system of money-lending. The public, indeed, have no idea of the numerous cases of extortion which are practised daily, and which are still increasing. The Marquis of LANS DOWNE, therefore, deserves great credit for having taken up the question in the House of Lords, and obtained the appointment of , a Com mittee to investigate the changes caused by the modification of the Usury-laws. Our readers will perceive, by a Report in an other part of The Sun of this day, that a great public meeting has been held in Sheffield — one of the most important manufacturing towns in the north. At this meeting—which was attended by upwards of eight thousand resolute Anti-Monopolists—the spirit in fa vour of Ministers was as alert and energetic as could be desired. There was no waver ing—no vacillation—no unworthy distrust or timidity exhibited—the different speakers seemed to vie with each other in their determi nation to uphold, by all means in their power, the Government course of policy. And such as is the spirit displayed at Sheffield, so is it gene throughout the provinces. Every where, we see indications of a calm, settled determination of purpose that, when the day of struggle comes, will sweep all opposition before it. - Madrid Journals, of the 13th instant, have reached us. They bring no news of interest. Nothing was decided about the new Cabinet. The British Ambassador, Mr. AUSTIN, had dis missed the English Consul at Carthagena, who had been guilty of insulting the Spanish flag. The funds had not improved by ESPARTERO'S election to the Regency. The Five per Cents. were at 27i for cash. The French Journals of Thursday have all reached us. The following is a summary of the latest news from French Africa : The Government has received a telegraphic despatch from General Beaugeau, dated Algiers, May 13, which, as it will be seen, is a confirmation of that which we gave on Tuesday, under the date of Toulon, 17th: " The expeditionary corps re turned on the 9th to Illidah, having &posited a large convoy at Medeah, and another at Miliana. Several slight combats have taken place. On the 3d it was attacked under Miliana, by 9,000 foot and 10,000 hore. This small army was put completely to the rout, and left 400 dead on the field. On the 4th the whole of the enemy's cavalry was driven beyond the bridge over the Chelif-el-Kantara, which the French crossed. On the stti our cavalry beat at Beny- Zug-Zug, on the left bank, 4,000 horse, commanded by Abd-el-Kader in person. Four squadrons of his regular cavalry experienced considerable loss, having left 184 on the ground and nineteen prisoners. This victory delivered up to us the tribe of the Beny-Zug-Zug, who lost all their tents and moveables, part of their cattle, anti eighty-two women, who have been breught to Algiers, where they are well treat d. We had 140 wounded and eighteen French soldiers are unquestionably among the bravest in the world; but the immense dis proportion between their loss and that of the Arabs exceeds human credibility. In the above paragraph we have an account of three separate engagements, in two of which the Arabs lost 584 men, while the French are reported to have only eighteen killed. Be it remembered, too, that the Arabs are a brave race, and that they are fighting for their country and their religion. The non-recognition by England of the sovereignty of France over Algiers, begins p create much uneasiness in Paris. The Duke DE VALMY, Baron D'HAvssEz, and Count DE GUERNON-RANVILLE, have pub lished declarations to the effect that the Mi nisters of CHARLES the Tenth never gave any pledge to England to evacuate Algiers. The first named of these personages insinuates, that as England always protested in the strongest manner against the occupation of Algiers, she would not have remained so long passive had not the revolutionary Government pledged itself to abandon it. Galignani's Messenger formally contradicts the report of a disagreement in the French Cabi net. The Souvr-a-UIZOT Ministry is represented as unanimous upon every question, and as resolved to stand or fall together. The defeat of the English Ministers upon the Sugar question, is announced in all the Paris Papers of Thursday. It produced no effect upon the funds, as it was known that an appeal would be made to the country. The Tonlannais of the 16th inst. states, that a telegraphic despatch was received on the preceding day from Faris, direct ing the authorities to remove the ex-Caicf Ben Aissa from the hulks to the fort of Lamalgue. This celebrated chief, sen tenced to twenty years hard labour, is not to undergo that pe nalty, and the rich costume which was taken from him when he was lodged in the Bagne had been returned to him. The same Journal announces that the ships forming the new Levant squadron, under the orders of Rear - Admira l Lassuse, were to sail in the course of the ensuing week. These were the Inflexib:e, 90-gun ship, and Santi-Petri, 84, and the fri gates Minerve, Didon, and another expected from Brest. Admiral Roussein has suffertd a confession to escape him in the Chamber of Peers, which is a fatal blow to the Ministry of M. Thicrs. He said that the fleet was recalled to Toulon because it would have been imprudent to leava it on the coast of Syria, where the exasperation of the two fleets would have produced an inevitable collision. Thus, what Al . Thiers and his friends has hitherto denied in the amber of Deputies is confessed in the Chamber of Peers. The fear of a collision made the warlike Ministry shrink. What reason can M. Thiers have to reproach M. Guizet ? France has been mysti fied ; this is clear. The Ministry wanted the fortifications of Paris, the purchases of horses, and the twelve regiments 01 the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours.— Gazette de Frahce. The Editor of the Gazette de France having appealed from the sentence of the Court of Assize of the 30th April, con demning him to a fine of 5,000 f„ received yesterday a new sum mons to appear before the Court of Assize on the 21st of May. M. Eugune Roch, a naturalist of Wurtemburg, who is settled at St. Louis, the capital of the State of that name, has lately made a very interesting discovery, of which the following account is given in a letter of the 16th of February from Boor:- vile, in the State of Missouri :- 6 , M. Roch, being lately in the little town of Occola, on the Osage river, learnt that an ancient tradition, very generally spread among the native tribes, that there formerly existed a race of gigantic and terrible animals, which committed great ravages, but that at length they all perished in a dreadful con test with each other, and were buried by the Great Spirit near a stream, now called Oschety. M. Roch caused search to be made in this place, and at the depth of about twenty feet he found two skeletons, one quite perfect, the other nearly so, of an animal of gigantic stature, and hitherto unknown. These skeletons are oetween sixteen and seventeen feet high, 34 feet long, and 8 wide. The Tibia are 4 feet long, and 40 inches in diameter. The upper jaw projects 15 inches below the lower jaw, and is armed with two tusks, each curved at the lower extremity ; the head including these two tusks weigh eleven hundred pounds. M. Bach has given them the name of Missourium. and has sent the skeletons to St. Louis, where he has a tine Museum of natural history. He intends to publish a detailed description of them.—Le Com. , mace. R ELEAS E OF POLIT ICAL P RISONERF.-Air.

If the present time be appropriate for performing an act of mercy, or we might even call it an act of justice—and when can such an act be =appro. , priate?—we hope that the prayer of the petition may be complied with.

The same principles apply to the discriminating sugar duties. Sugar is food, and a plentiful sup ply of sugar would of itself abrogate the Corn laws. The sugar taxers and the bread taxers, therefore, have a common interest in plundering the people, and they have made common cause to attain their object. Let every town, therefore, every hamlet — let the inmates of every house, rise against the continuance of these cursed monopolies. This is truly " not the cause of faction or of party ;" it is as truly a national cause. It is the cause of honesty and morality against plunder and vice. It is the cause of every man and every woman in the empire. It is the cause even of the oppres sors and monopolists themselves, for they would be as much benefited by abolishing these mono polies as were the planters, who no longer live in dread of the labourers as they lived in dread of their slaves, by the abolition of slavery. Every man, every woman, and every child, is interested in gaining a victory for truth and righteousness over falsehood and wrong. All who love and honour virtue ; all who wish to open paths for enterprise, and give a free scope, as Gon has given, to talents and industry ; ail who wish to see abundance on the earth, and the people easy and happy ; all who wish to see youth well occupied, and maidens likely to be married, should now, and at once, strenuously exert themselves to influence the coming elec tion. They should everywhere secure the defeat of those who withhold bread from the poor, who curse the people with dearth, and annually starve many hundreds, or even thousands, out of existence. Our graciOus QUEEN, uninformed of the senti ments and wishes of her people, is about to make an appeal to them. Tell her no falsehood ; con ceal from her no facts; answer her honestly and plainly, by sending none to Parliament but anti monopolists, that her nobles and their friends and allies have most sorely oppressed and shamefully maltreated her faithful people. When she knows their wishes, when she is made sensible how deeply they have been injured, she will make common cause with them against those who would oppress her people and tyran nise over her. If her appeal be answered with the voice of truth, she must and will be on our side, and the QUEEN'S name is a tower of strength. Men and women of England, now or never ; do your duty honestly and energetically to yourselves, your children, your QUEEN, and your GOD ; and leave the issue of the great con test, which you are solemnly invoked to begin, in His hands who disposes of empires. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN THY MATTER OF CHARLES JOSEPH CARTTER. The bankrupt in this case, who was a solicitor, residing in Greenwich, having appeared in Court on his examination, Mr. Binns, a solicitor, applied on the part of Mrs. Mary Edward, to have the bankrupt examined relative to the dispo sal of certain moneys which he received under the will of Mr. Rout, who died in the year 1815. Mr. Binns said that he was instructed to state that the bankrupt, in his capacity as agent for certain parties, had received money to a large amount, and he now wished to know how it had been disposed of, and to whom paid over, as his (Mr. Binns') client was a legatee under the will of Mr. Rout, and likewise under the will of a Mr. Panton, in which the bankrupt was also concerned. Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD said he did not think that he would be justified in acceding to Mr. Binns' application, as it appeared to him that the bankrupt was acting as the soli citor to another party, and under such cirenmstances an exa mination into these private relations would be improper. Mr. Binnes said his client was very poor, and had been a long time waiting for the legaoy to which sue was entitled under those wills, and he understood the money, to a large amount, had been received, and all he now required was, that the bankrupt should state in Court to whom the money had been paid. The LEARNED COMMISSIONER said there might be hard ship attending the case, but still he could not require the exa mination of the bankrupt. GUILDHALL-(THIS DAY.) CHURCH-RATES.--Mr. Matthew Nash, a silversmith, re siding at No. 3, Oxford Arsus-passage, Newgate-street, ap peared before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, on a summons, at the instance of the Churchwardens of the parish of Christ Church, London, to show cause why he refused to pay the sum of 10s., being the amount due for one quarter's assessment for Church rates. Mr. Dowding, the Churchwarden, having produced the rate-books, and sworn to the assessment, said that frequent ap plication had been made to Mr. Nash, who peremptorily re fused payment, although he was the only defaulter in the parish. Mr. Nash said his reason for refusing the payment of the present demand was that he considered it highly unjust, be cause up to the year 1831, he was never rated for more than ss. quarterly ; however, at the time the Church required to be repaired, and to meet the consequent expenses the rate was doubled throughout the parish, and instead of ss. he had to pay 105. quarterly. He and every other parishioner (in the same ratio) were thus rated up to the present quarter, al though he was sure that the extra expenses arising from repairing the Church bad been long since liquidated. With respect to the assertion of Mr. Dowding that he (Mr. Nash) was the only person who refused to pay, such was not . the case, for numbers of the parishioners excla imed a g ainst paying double the usual rate for nearly ten years on account et the repairs of the church, and he now called upon Mr.Dowding to show whether there was any balance due by the Church wardens on this account. The Churchwarden (as we understood) said it was for the • defendant to prove that. The vestry in which the assessment was made was an open one, and he or any other parishioner could have attended there and opposed the rate if they consi dered it exorbitant. I Mr. Alderman Li; cAs said that he had looked over the rate books, and saw that they were signed by some of the most re spectable persons in the ward, and he had no doubt but the assessment was a fair one, as the Church had undergone coasi• derable repairs. However, be that as it might, that Court was not a place of appeal against it, and he was bound to grant a warrant for the amount claimed. He would, however, alvise the defendant to pay the rate at once, and save himself andthe Churchwardens further trouble. Mr. Nash said he would not abject to what he considered to be a fair rat e, but as the present one was enormous, and he was sure that the expenses of repairing the Church h ad: been long since liquidated, he would not voluntarily consent to pay it. A subsequent application was made to Mr. Nash, but he still persisted in his original determination, and a warrant was ac cordingly issued. MADEMOISELLE RACHEL, Mademoiselle Rachel appeared last night in a third charac ter, before the best house that her performances have yet at tr:bcted. With the tragedy of Bajazet all who are conversant with French literature are acquainted. Written and repre sented for the first time in 1672, only thirty-four years after the seraglio intrigue which supplied the ground-work of its five acts, it is justly considered one of the best pieces of that orna ment of the French drama, Jean Racine. Mdlle. Rachel enactec the part of Roxane, which has been one of her triumphs at Pads. In her second scene, at the commencemen; of the long paasage, "Je sais que des Sultans l'usage m'est contraire," there was some apprehension of her being indisposed, for she stopped once or twice in a manner th it seemed to denote pain, and the prompter's assistance was very perceptibly required ; but it happily proved but a very transient desertion of her ex cellent memory, and by the time she reached the third act she was in complete possession of her wonted powers. Even in the first two, which do not bring much into play the brightest qualities that distinguish her, she took not a few opportunities of di-playing the extreme care and taste with which she studie, her text. It was, however, at the conclusion of the third act that she won the great approbation so frequently manifested again in the following scenes. One of her finest bursts of pas s►on was where the letter of Atalide to Bajazet is put into her hands. In this passion she gave the greatest satisfaction, as well as in the concluding lines of the same scene. The man ner in which she uttered the command, " Sortez," when Roxane indignantly dismisses Bajazet after her last appeal to his affections, was also attended with much effect, following, as it did, her skilful effolislo check the tumult of her mind. On the fail of the curtain there was a universal call for her, and she came forward amid't renewed plaudits. Among the company present were their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and Princess Augusta of Cambridge,:and a considerable number of persons of rank and fashion. HAMBURGH MAIL. STOCKHOLM, MAY 11.—It is reported that negotia tions have been commenced with Count Lowenhjelm, the King's ambassador at Vienna, who has come home on leave of absence to induce him to take the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is said that Count Bjornjerna, the Swedish ambassador at the Court of London, may be shortly expected here. It seems that at length after the lapse of a year the Estates will meet this week in a pleno plenorum to receive the Royal an swer to the memorial of the Estates respecting varior , changes in the laws. There is reason to fear that the Government will refuse its sanction to the most impor tant resolutions in this respect ; for instance, the exten sion of the right of representation in the Estate of the peasants.

On the authority of private letters from 'Warsaw, we can add that the columns of the Prussian State Gazette, which report the proceedings of the Assemblies, are painted over with black before the journals are delivered in Poland (and doubtless in Russia too).

Already there are unerring indications that the movement in Ireland will be most energetic, enthusiastic, and universal.

The Belfast Vindicator announces that arrangements are in pro gress for simultaneous meetings throughout Ulster on Sunday ' next. The citizens of Waterford assembled yesterday, under th e presidency of the Mayor, Simon Newport, Esq.

Whatever measures tended to the relief of ( AbT-idg;dfro; the Sheiftield Independent.) On Wednesday evening a public meeting was held in Para dise-square, convened by the Master Cutler, to address the Queen in favour of the abolition of all monopolies, and espe cially in those of corn, sugar, and timber. The meeting not having b een determined upon until noon of the same day, the deficiency in the time allowed for making it public was supplied by the active and zealous exertions of the Working Mee's Anti-Corn-law Committee. At about a quarter past six the proceedings commenced, and the numbers rapidly increased, continuing to augment until seven o'clock, when the whole area within the roads across and up the east s id e o f t h e square was fill e d w ith people. We heard the number stated by a person unfavourable to the pro ceedings of the me e ti ng a t 12,000, o th ers sa id 10,000 ; but we should rather say, speaking moderately, seven or eight thou sand, a number which, considering the shortness of the notice, is a strung proof of the deep interest which is felt in the pre sent effort of the Government to abate the monopolies under which the people suffered. The Master Cutler was unanimously called to the chair. Mr. Dues" had attended many meetings, on many import ant occasions ; but he had never known an occasion more im portant than that which had now called them together. This was a question that extended its branches much wider and struck its roots far deeper, than any question of party politics. The proposition before Parliament was to reduce the prohibi tory duty now levied on the sugar of foreign countries. An alteration had also been proposed in the duties on timber and on corn ; the great question, however, related to the corn. fhe debate and the division were nominally on the sugar duty, but in reality involved the whole. The amendment of Lord Sandon was to the effect that we ought not to admit the importation of foreign sugar, lest it should be an encourage ment to slavery. No men and no town in England hadatgreater Horror of slavery than the men and the town of Sheffield ; but the amendment suggested the serious question how far the present monopoly tended to discourage slavery - in other countries, as the Brazils and Cuba ? The argument of Lord Sandon if it was good for anything, went to this, that we ought to give up the use of all slave-grown produce—that we ought not to receive the cotton or tobacco raised by slaves in America; if the argument be good for anything, it ought .o be pushed to this, its legitimate extent, and not confined to the subject of sugar. But who were the men who used this irgument ? and who complained that they could not, even with a protection of fifty per cent., compete with slave-grown pro duce? The very men who had received twenty millions to en tble them to sustain the competition, now said that the amount of saving effected in the price of sugar would be so small, that it would do nothing for the poor man ; but he looked upon .he measure as calculated to secure and extend our trade with '.he Brazils; and if, the saving in the price of sugar should be only eighteen pence the hundred weight, yet if it created a trade that would secure constant employment to the artisans, surely that would greatly improve their condition. Then with regard to timber, even if the alteration of the duty did not re duce the price, yet established a trade with those countries which used to deal largrly with us, and in which the manufacturers of Sheffield once did a large amount of business, would be greatly to our benefit ; since we excluded the timber of those countries, hey, with retributive justice, excluded our goods. The ques tion then was, not merely whether the proposed measures would reduce prices, but whether we could open foreign markets to our manufactures. But the great question related to corn. ['tat eras the pinching point, and the main part. of the mea ure. It was said that if we should alter our duties an corn, we should injure our best and largest customer, the home narket. If such an alteration were proposed as would mani festly put an end to the consumption of our Manufactures by he agriculturists of England, it would be suicide to adopt it. But from the present measure no such loss could take place. Let them recollect that it was not proposed to go all at once to free trade. There might be various .opinions on that point, but they must all admit that a great step was made when it was proposed to admit foreign corn at Ss. duty.—Thus Si. would be given to the British more than to the foreign grower. So far it was a tax on corn, and was a disadvantage. But the advantage was, that it would reduce the trade in corn to a certainty. There was one peculiar fea ture in this question. Some people argued that the manufac turing and commercial prosperity of England had grown up under this law. Such men talked as: if the Corn-law was as old as Methuselah ; but in fact it was only twelve years old, having been brought in by Wellington and Peel in 1828. After the law was passed we had a series of abundant harvests, which, during the years 1833-4-5, caused the price of corn to be low. Then the tables of Parliament groaned under petitions from the people against this law, not from the artisans and manu facturers, but from the farmers themselves. These men, year after year, deluged the Parliament with petitions, praying for relief. The Duke of Buckingham, then Marquis of Chandes, made an annual oration on the subject,' and told the House they might do as they would, the .armers could never be worse off than under those laws. Yet, this very year, the same man tells the House that to touch these laws would ruin them. They knew - that Earl Fitz william was desirous to abolish the Corn-laws. The Duke of Devonshire took the same view, and would not allow his pri vate interest too stand in the way of public good. The first Peer of the realm also, a native of Sheffield, a man who was always first in every good word and work (the Duke of Nor folk) said the same thing ; and he believed he might say that, in opposition to the Corn-laws, they had with them all the blood of all the Howards. Let them not imagine, then, that they were without friends among the landed interest; they had many, and powerful friends. He did not ask them to support a Whig or Tory Government. He did dot know whether Mr. Otley would ask them to support a Chartist Govern ment ; but he asked them to aid in obtaining for them selves, for their townsmen, and for the men of Yorkshire and Lancashire, the means of living. He asked them to commisserate the destitute who were able and willing to work, but unable to find employment. Let them bethink themselves of the misery endured by such men, and their wives and chil dren. He believed in his soul that there were hundreds of respectable working men in Shefild at this time unable to find a sufficiency of bread for their children ; and if they had hearts to pity these men, let them not be led astray and deluded. -- (Hear, hear.) Let them remember that cheap bread and provisions were essential to the comforts of the poor. Let them recollect the time when the men of Sheffield were best off, when they were best employed, best paid, and most comfort. able. That was at the time not whets bread was high, but shen it was low.—(Cheers.) He with confidence submitted the resolution he had to propose, which they would find pledged them to no Government, but to the principles of free trade. He read the resolution as follows : " That a petition and address be presented to the Queen on behalf of this meeting, assuring her Majesty that the mha sures which have been recently announced to Parliament by nor Ministers for the revision of the import duties upon sugar, corn, and timber, have been highly gratifying to the country. as the heralds of a new and better system of fiscal policy, and un restricted trade ; and humbly . beseeching her Majesty not to repose confidence in any Ministry who are not prepared to accomplish such measures, and generally to introduce a more enlarged and liberal system of commercial intercourse with foreign countries." Aneadded, with that resolution went his whole heart and soul, and prayer, and he confidently left it in their hand---(Cheers. ) War. IBBOTSON, Esq.—( Loud cheers)—Seconded the reso lution. Let them only strip the question of everything ex traneous, and they would find that it was really very simple, and such as no man of common understanding could fail to comprehend. To one of his friends, who talked of its com plexity, he asked what proportion of a pound were sixteen thirty seconds. He could not tell ; but when asked how much was one half of a pound, he had no difficulty. Just so they should deal with the question of the Corn-law. Let them suppose a small island, with 100 inhabitants, producing food enough for themselves and one-third more, which they exported to pur chase other articles. In time, the population might increase to 200, and then, so far from having corn to export, they would not have enough at home. They must therefore find some other commodity to export to buy the corn they needed as well as the other things, which before they had purchased with corn. Su pp osin g that they manu factured hardware, and went on till the population had reached four hundred thousand; it was plain they must then have an immense importation of corn. The system would work well. But suppose a few old families owning the land should conspire to lay a duty of 50 pet• cent. upon all imported corn, in order to raise the price of that produced on their own land. Then, the corn that cost 205., would pay a duty of 10s. The effect of that would at first be to make the hardware exported 50 per cent. dearer to the purchasers. But they would retaliate and lay a duty of 50 per cent. on the hardware. Thus, its price would be practically raised from 20 s. to 40 s , or 100 p er cent. TORY OFFICIALS. But suppose the purchasers of the hardware should begin TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. to manufacture for themselves, and could make for 30s. the SIA,-Some of the underling officials in the country are hardware which, with the duty, cost 40s. Then the island- giving out that Ministers have caused an inquiry to be insti ers must meet them in the market, and sell their own hard- tilted in the various departments, to ascertain whether addi ware, burdened with the double duties, for 305., which would tional receipts to the revenue cannot be screwed out of some of reduce the price paid to the manufacturers and artizans for the items of taxation which have been remitted to the country, what they used to sell for 205., to 10s. Thus they might go in order to make up the present deficiency in the income, and on, as we had done, increasing their exports, but getting less that such inquiry, so far as regards the department in which for them. Thus wages and profits would be reduced, till they serve, has been made through them. Now, Mr. Editor, workmen were starved, and masters ruined. Just such was what I want, by my present lettee, is to impress upon Ministers the operation here. Our prices were now constantly reduced not to trust the reports which they may receive through such by competition—a competitio n in a g reat degree created by quarters; many of them took their o ffi ces under the Tories our absurd laws, which would not allow those who want our whilst they were in power, and would gladly hail their r eturn, goods to pay for them in the only commodities they have to as the greatest God-send that could befal them.

Mr. HALL, an operative, thought Mr. Otley had not spoken rightly in saying their wages would be reduced by a repeal of the Corn-laws. He had attentively watched the fluctuations of trade since 1810, and he never knew a pros perous state of trade produce a reduction of wages.—(Cheers, While trade was increasing, they had never seen working men reduced to the state of poverty and misery they now en dured. What had brought about this reduction ? It was the Corn-laws. What would restore them to prosperity? The repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Hear, hear.) It was impo-sible that their wages could be lower when the Corn-law was re pealed than they were now. Where was the man among the table •knife hatters who could earn more than eight or nine shillings a week, unless he called in the assistance of his ebil clren,• and they increaxd the competition? He contended, then, that the repeal of the Corn-law could not reduce wages lower than they were now. Mr. SMITH, a printer, said if England would abolish the Corn-laws, and the United States would establish a national bank, the trade between the two countries would again pros per. At present the price of American flour was such that it 'might be imported into England at Is. 6d. per stone, thus giv ing cheap bread, and a demand for our manufactures to the extent of millions. The establishment of free trade would go far to annihilate the manufactures of the United States, which ...... were every year becoming stronger ; but if the measure were much longer delayed, the manufacturers of the United States would become so much more powerful, that the Federal Go vernment would not be able to establish free trade with Eng- land, which it would now be glad to do. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution ? in favour of which there was a general show of hands throughout the whole meeting, while against it there only appeared I ;b out a score of hands ; and the Master Cutler declared, amid l oud cheers, that the resolution was carried almost unanimously , • WILLIAM VICKERS, Esq., came forward to move the sty cond resolution. He was there to support free trade in core, and in every other commodity. Let them but have fair ' , lay, and they would not fear to take their chance in the wide market of the world. To say that we desired the repeal of the Corn-laws, to enable us to compete, supposed that we were .now exempted from the necessity of competion. But it was not ho, for we had competitors in every market at present; and the only difference made by the Corn laws was, that we competed with them under great disadvantages. Scissors were now made in Germany and Prussia much cheaper than in Eng land, and cheaper knives were made there than we covet. pro duce. Our matchet trade was gone entirely. And if we were to compete for JO years longer with our foreign rivals, on the sante terms as we had done since the peace, our manufactories might be shut up, and this country must become agricultural. Ho had great pleasure in proposing the Arllress to the Queen, praying her Majesty, whether her advisers be Whigs or Tories, to give her countenance to none who would not gave the people fregtrade but above all, free trade in corn.—(Cheers. ) Mr. trade, the motion. He avowed himself a Radical, and wiling to go further than the Ministry. But as Mr. Benson had well put it, if he were labouring under several diseases, it would be absurd to refuse medicine that would cure one, because the sarne thing would not cure all the rest. That was ju.t their position as to tl,e Corn-law. To concur in its removal need not prevent their also agitating for the Charter, or applying for the Suffrage. But if they wished to accomplish those objects, they must exist , which they could not do without food. Mr. ELLIOTT said, the landowners are forcing men to ask, a hundred years before the time, whether a class of persons living on the rent of the land, ought any longer to exist in this country? In deciding that their monopolies shall die a natural death, or rather a most unnatural one, by destroying the trade of this country, they, in effect, decide that their land shall be divided among their victims. That such must be the result if they persevere, I will make plain to your senses. Is it not plain to your senses, that at Sheffield, on about 600 acres of bad land, covered with houses and steam engines, live 120,000 human beings ? Now, these 600 acres of land, if employed in agriculture, would not comfortably sustain more than a hundred families, or 500 persons. Suppose your trade destroyed, then, what would become of 119,500 people, here thrown out of subsistence by Act of Parliament ? They must fall upon the land for maintenance, because there will be nothing else to fall upon ; and they must divide the land, because there will be nothing else to divide, all commer cial property being annihilated. Yet the Duke of Wellington. the winner of the bread-tax, who ignorantly dines every . day on the ruined fortunes of his countrymen, expressed a wish, a few days ago, if I understand his reported speech, that this country had no trade! Suppose his wish gratified, what would be the consequences? In a very short time two-thirds of you would be living, if at all, on parish pay, thrice the number of workhouses would not admit one-third of the applicants for admission. There would soon be no wages, no ratepayers, and no markets. House proprietors could not live on their property, for no one could pay them ; mortgagees could not receive a farthing interest, for the same reason • no farmer would sow his land, for he would not be allowed reap the harvest ; no shopkeeper would open Isis shop, for, if he did, it would be instantly gutted ; and when the storm had rocked itself to rest, and two-thirds of you had perished, there would not be in these islands, thenceforth and for ever, a class of men, and perhaps not an individual, living on the rent of land. All of you, not the slandered Chartists only, but all classes of men in the nation, particularly the pious re spectables, the great manufacturers and merchants, the richer shopkeepers, the mote wealthy portion of the religionists . of all denominations, and almost every parson, whether Dissenter or Churchman, have supported, during the last twenty-six years, and are still supporting, the aristocracy and their food tax, and all other monopolists and monopolies. The Rev. R. S. BAYLEY—(Cheers)—Was in favour of free trade, without an exception, in religion, in commerce, in poli tics, in education—he repeated, without an exception. — (Cheers.) One of his motives for appearing on this occasion was to speak to the poor. He was the minister of the poor. It had never fallen to his lot, and never, probably, would, unless he should follow theexample of which they bad recently seen an instance in the medical profession, and become a renegade, to school the great. The bulk of his congregation consisted of the horny-handed sons of toil. He knew how they felt—how they lived—what was the furniture of their houses—how their children were educated—and what was the state of their own knowledge ind morality ; and he said, without the slightest in tention of slandering or hurting any one, that he believed one of the most alarming symptoms of the operations of the Corn laws to be, that they deteriorated immensely beyond what any table could show, or even Mr. Elliott, with his diamond pen, describe, the morality of the country.—(Hear, hear,) At the present time there was such a concurrence of circumstances as he never remembered to have known before. We had a young Queen—an independent and high-spirited woman, who had shown her independence, and saved us once. —( Hear, hear.) She was now on the perilous edge of faction, and could look to no protection but her people. The people of England were the best protectors of England's monarch. If the people failed to protect her and her Ministers, she must fall under the power of the aristocracy, and when they had got the Queen into their own hands, and weaned her of her popular bias, then the people would have to reproach themselves for the lethargy that had permitted it. He was re joiced that this meeting had been so pacific and determined. If the Chartists were to worry the Reformers, and the Re formers the Chartists, the consequence must be that the Tories would %vex-I.y both.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped they would live to see the day not only of the abolition of the Corn-laws, but when there should be no need to head their placards with " No Monopoly," because, in politics, in religion, and in trade, there should be liberty and. equality without exception.— (Cheers-) The CHAIWSIAN then read the resolution and address, and put it to the vote, when the show of hands in favour was large, and the minority seemed even smaller than on the former mo tion. The Chairman declared it to be carried almost unani mously.—(Loud cheers.) This triumphant and satisfactory meeting closed about eight o'clock. 'ft
