The merit of this discovery is due to Dr. Granville, the eminent physician, who has recently visited every part of England for the express purpose of making ex periments on the different waters, and the results of his oser vations have just come before the public in the shape of a small volume, dedicated, by express permission, to her Ma jesty. In this work the composition, operation, and virtues of every one of the mineral waters of England, may be seen at one view, together with every information relating to them, which may be of most interest and value to all who have occa sion to make trial of their efficacy.

It gives us great satisfaction to find the Times Ins ;aken up the cause of commercial freedom, :and lr_come a strenuous advocate for a reduction of dutie , . S ich proceedings justify the views we have taker:, and convince us that the time is not far off when both parties in the House of Com mols must agree to remove some of the fetters -with which our Legislature has bound the trade et' England, and-of the world. The Times, however, insidiouf ly tried on Saturday to make it appear that the Whigshave neglected " for ten years to apply their own principles," atikl that the merit o: • removing the fetters f rom ,our trade, is much more due to the Tories than - the Whigs. We are delighted to conclude, that the principles cf fie • e trade have mad e an and - niable and irresistible progress, since the Tun es fir ds it convenient, just as the Tories, accord_ lag to their own stat em ent, are 'on the eve of . achieving a great victory , and are able to Trample all opposing interests into the mire, to app.. - .al to the public on behalf of them as the zealous advocates of free trade. Those principles have become the masters of the Times and the 'Tories; -and they now therefore humble them selves before the irresistible power of truth. Our Contemporary justly- points out that Mr. Pun . , before he had heartily embraced the policy in support of which he waged a bloody war a ),-ain.o: the principles he professed ere he was corrupted by power, and before Toryism " checked his benevolent and .enlightened aspirations," was a friend to free trade. We cheerfully con 'cede that merit to Mr. PITT. We only re gret that he did not follow out his pro f&:sions, aad that his successors of the Tory gthool, forgetting all his lofty words, imitated on ly his pernicious practices. We admit, too, that Mr..l-lUSKIsSoN promoted the principles of Tree trade to a certain extent, and that he was then in office with the Tories. He succeeded, however, more by the , support of the Whi gs i n doors and out of doors than by the support of his own party. But whatever may have been Mr. Perr's and Mr. HusmssoN's merits —and it does not say much for the prpsent race of Tories that .the Times is obliged to quote them—the present rvce of Tories is decidedly opposed to free trade. - We quite agree with the Times that the Minis tern have not worked out their own principles; - they have not given free trade in bread; they not put an end to the discrimi -0091,14 es on sugar, though they induced 1 20 ,000/. for the property of the ' -- ' ' ; 41 1 ( i. ." ves, and now make us pay tho,.e V: -- iW, ...f t it --- ' . f e......„ vt • I. '7 planters between 2,000,0001. and 3,000,0001. an nually more, on the pretence that they must be paid to make them take care of their former slaves. The Whigs have not put an end to the discriminating duties on timber, and they have not —we have continually contended—they have not done what they ought, to set trade free, and give prosperity to the nation. So far we cordially concur with the Times. But when our Contempo rary says the Whig Ministers have not followed out their own principles, he admits that those principles are not even professed, much less acted on, by the Tories. Why have the Whigs not worked out their own principles? Because not being enthusiastic believers in the bright faith of free trade, they were unable to overcome the sinister opposition of the Tories. The Tories, uniting with an abo minable clique of American land jobbers, and dealers in old ships, who care as little for the one or the two thousand seamen they drown every year as the bread-taxers care for the many many thousands of human beings whom they annually starve out of existence, defeated Lord ALTIIORP when he proposed to alter and amend the Timber Duties. The Tories did that. The Tories, too, opposed every attempt which Mr. P. TnomsoN, now Lord SYDENHAM, made to allow corn to be ground in bond; and the only opposi- tion which was made to Mr. LABOU poor measure for equalizing the duties on East and West India rum came from the Tory benches. It is true that the Whigs have not worked out their,own principles, but it is equally true that to those principles the Tories are heart and soul opposed, and would not allow Sir RO BERT PEEL, were he in office as their man, to carry them into execution. We take the appeal of the Times in behalf of the Tories to be a certain proof that the town population are becoming sensible of the enormous injustice which is (lone to them under the pretext of protecting this interest and that interest. The Tines sees that the nefarious game of plunder in the guise of patriotism ap proaches its end. The admirable Repot t and evidence of the Import Duties' Committee have opened the eyes of the people. They are re solved apparently to bestir themselves in the matter. We believe that several Members of Parliament have also resolved to promote that agitation, and that they have come to a resolu tion to resist all loans and all fresh taxes, and to insist on a reduction of discriminating duties. The townspeople are now, therefore, as it were, invited both by Whigs and Tories to make good their demands. If they desire to have the import duties placed on a just founda tion, if they desire to have our tariff amended, if they desire to have an end put to legal pilfer- ing, they have only now to arouse themselves, and they must be successful. We have already ap pealed to London. Why should not Bristol, Liverpool, Leeds, and Manchester take up the same cause ? No Ministry can long resist them, still less a Ministry which has no inclination to resist them, but which requires to be impelled forward by being assured'of the support of public opinion. The Whigs will act on their own princi ples when they see those principles enforced by the town population. Let the people, then, hold public meetings, and send up numerous petitions for the repeal of the Corn-law, and in favour of the principles of free trade, and they may be assured of commanding the support of the Ministers. They require to be emboldened by the strong expression of public opinion, and, to give them courage, we call on the town population to speak out. We learn from the Manchester Times that the Anti-Corn-law League held their annual meeting at their rooms on Thursday. It affords us great pleasure to perceive no trace of any dispute or difference amongst the members on account of the Walsall election, which was said by some of the lukewarm friends of the League to have of fended several of its supporters. We rejoice also to see no abatement of principle, no decay of hope, but a firm, consistent, and vigorous ad- hesion to the great principle of total and imme diate repeal, and strong hopes of success at no distant day. Mr. COBDEN said— But I tell you this—that it would be impossible to carry our agitation on any other princ'ple than that on which we have now. started. I recollect that, in 1834, there was an Association established in this town. You will find a re pert of their first meeting in the Guardian of February 1. Our excellent friend (Mr. Smith) was the President of it, and Mr. Mark PLilius and Mr. Greg were among the genfemen who attended the first meeting, but they were whiled to be very " moderate." They were told net to he " vi >lent," and certainly. when I look to the resolu tions which they l astei I cannot accuse them of dis regarding the adv ce. —( Laughter.) They asaociat-d themselves for the purpose of culling some " modi ficatim "of tho Corn-)awe.—(Renewed laughter.) I believe the Association lirgered on some months, and 1 think our friend Mr. Smith was lea minus the expense:.—(Great laughter.) They adopted a pe tition to the Le4islature, it appears, and I believe the prayer cf that petition was very " moderate" too, and me: ely asked for something less than was wanted—some thing less than justice—(Applause)--and therefore there was no great interest taken in it by the great body a merchants and manufacturers; there was no rallying round it as there has been round yours, and hence it has been unable to exist.—( Hear.) The proceedings of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, the same year, were much of the same character. On turning t 3 the reports of its meetings, you will find our excellent President ma'e a vigorous effoit to effect something bettor, but he was tcld that no ietitior. could be presented then—that the ti :le had not arrived—(Laughter)—that Mr. Macau lay had said Minicers, though they might have power to try a " moderato" measure, yet advised that the question should n. t be " agitated," and the motion fell to the ground. The result is the establishment of this Association for the purpose t f effecting tie " total and immediate tepeal cf the Cora-1 iws"—( Applause)—and I appeal tr all that has taken place before or since as justifyirg the course we have pursued. —( Rcnr wed spFlause.) And now, when there is evidence we h .ve not mistaken our path, when there is evidence, as Mr. Prentice justly said, of a moving amot gat the dry boner, :t behoves us to be careful hoer we depart one hetet-in eaeth front the path, for if we do rte shall assuredly share the fate of toe Association of 1834 and fail in our object.—( Applause.) At present we are in the fght position. I feel assured that no Ministry will ever thuic of passing over anotl er Session without setting themselves sigmously to work t 3 revise our present tariffs. Hear.) There is no other cry that will avail the can didates at another cleetion but that of " no bread-tex."— ( fle..r, hear.) I appeal to our experience at Walsall "or a confirmation of ih a fact. Those sentiments were responded to by the cheers of the meeting, and in them we find an ample justification of our conduct. We are quite .sure th.!..t the demand for the total and imme diate repeal is just, and if it be zealously sup- P', et t-d resistance will be speedily overcom e . W e have within these few days acknowledged the zeal and fervour with which the Puseyites pur sue their object, and they obtain great success. They are sincere believers in the dogmas they teach ; and if those who believe in the sublime doctrines of free trade, be equally sincere, and equally zealous, a more brilliant success, because their doctriries will be more beneficial, will crown 'their exertions. The free trade advocates have taken up the question on the principles of morality ; it is no longer advocated as a mere benefit to the cotton manu facturer, 1 0 . e t a h t n would lora l bebenefitedquestion waigi ile)csyl.ibutmw a le T s l 1 il a facturer, or the manufacturer of hardware though being of mankind in all free c Thusonc concerns trade, rn m s t r h . e s 7 the Chairman of the League, in commencing the business of the meeting, said, Since my retsrn home it has been a part of my public du. jos to sit aq mag strate 00 the bench several times in the police court o f the adjoining borough of Salford • and I have been really shocked at the am ount of juvenile de di;itrnsciucesnscin which I have aitnessed, sho w i ng an amount of the town of which I had no previous concep_ tion.—( Hear, hear.) . And what are we to look f orward to I would ask, in the risirg generation when we see youths sear,Ay the height of this table whose parents not basing the means of educating them, leave them to run about the streets, or send them there to teg or steal the means of their support ? (Hear, hear.) I was much struck with a boy of this sort the other day who was brougt:t up, and from his appearance I was led to ask wk.. thcr his parert; yarn , present. A decent-looking stepped ft rward and said be was the boy's f ather, an d I said, " Why do you let your boy ramble about the streets thus, and get among thieves and bad character . s (be had been stealing from a shop), instead of putt ing him t) school, cr taking care of him in some other way ?" The man said be could not afford to put him to school. Then I said you should take care of him yourself. " Take care of him myself, Sir," said the man, "it is impossible; I am obliged to work fourteen or fifteen hours a-day to get pota toes for my family to live on—l am a band-loom weaver, Sir."—( Hear, hear.) And such I learn is the case with many of these poor people ; they are obliged to work hard during the whole day to get a bare arid scanty supply of food for their family, are left wholly destitute of education or moral culture, and allowed to become the companions of the vicious and depraved. The want of adequate wages, then, brings about neglect of children, and neglected children in crease the number of criminals, and help to pro- mote public demoralization. No community can exist, much less flourish, with a completely de moralized population; and when men begin to see that the bread tax, which begins in plunder by law, leads to much plunder in opposition to the law—that, in fact, it makes roguery the prin ciple of the community, it is impossible that they should, for their own safety, tolerate such a per verse and ruinous system. At the meeting the Report of the proceedings of the League for the last year was read and agreed to. Resolutions were passed approving of what has already been done, and pledging the League to continue the same exertions in future for the abolition of the Corn-law. The members of the League have a'ready done much, yet a little longer struggle and victory will be their own. They will be honoured by this generation, and blessed in ages to come for their noble exertions, when our distant posterity shall trace up to the League the zealous and consistent advocacy of those great principles of freedom for industry, to which nations hereafter will owe their prosperity. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech on the Danish claims, like that of his colleague the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, shows how the facts of a case may be wrongfully assumed, for the purpose of giving clap-trap answers to them. His Lordship asserted that the seizure of British property by the Danes was simply a case of ordi nary capture, and that it had been argued for the claimants that the public money ought to be paid to them in compensation. Now he well knows that the real question is whether a Government is to seize on the private property of foreign in dividuals trading in our ports, and trusting to our good faith, without any provocation or cause for war on their part, or on that of their Go vernment, and appropriate the proceeds to its own purposes or that of the public, while the property of its own subjects is to be left unpro tected, to be sacrificed in reprisals for that act, without any compensation, out of the confiscated fbreign property, which occasioned the loss of the British sufferers. Lord JOHN will never be able to persuade the British nation, still less the world at large, that the seizure of the private property of the Danes in our harbours in 1807, without any cause for tear on their part, was "in accordance with the law of nations," or " the usages of war;" apd yet he must prove that first before he can assert that the consequences of that Act, namely, the seizure of British ships in Danish waters during the period of reprisals, can be designated the " occurrences of ordinary war fare." The claimants had strong grounds to pro test against the legality of captures in the Neu tral Baltic Sea; for its neutrality, even in case of war, had been recognised by the Danes in trea ties and conventions, but they were debarred from this plea by the antecedent illegal conduct of their own Government. This is very distinctly stated by Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK in his written opinion. " I think it quite clear," says this high legal authority, " that the circumstances under which the losses in question were sustained, do not in any respect bear the construction given to them in the reply to the memorial of January last—viz., that the losses were i❑ conformity to the practice and usage of war prevailing among the nations of Europe ;" but that, on the contrary, all " ordinary prac tice and usage was violated." In this opinion Sir F. POLLOCK, Sir W. FOLLETT, and Dr. .LUSHINGTON coincided. It agrees also with that expressed by Lord SIDMOUTH, in 1810. Lord JOHN knows that the nation is not called upon to pay money out of its own pocket without value received, and that the question is simply that of refunding what has been unjustly withheld from the claimants. The Paris Papers of Thursday have all reachea us, but their contents are unimportant. The Committee of the Peers on the Fortifications Bill, after adopting, by a majority of six votes to one, the principle of the Bill, proceeded, with singular inconsistency, to appoint the only dis sentient, Count MOLE, reporter of the Commit tee, and named as secretary Baron MOUNIER, one of the most lukewarm advocates of the mea sure ! Still that the Bill would be adopted by the Chamber was doubted by nobody. The fol lowing paragraphs from the Siecle show the ac tivity with which"the Court engages in promot ing the passing of the Bill by a large majority : The Ministry is rather anxious as to the fate of the discus sion about to begin in the Chamber of Peers. It is said that a!1 the agents of Government who are members of the Peerage, have received the order to come to I aris to vote. Even the Ambassadors are not exempted from this order. The arrival of M. Bresson, Ambassador at Berlin, is expected, and that of M. de St. Aulaire, who is destined to the embassy of London. The Duke of Orleans, expected at St. Omer, has delayed his departure in order to assist at the discussion of the bureaux on the project of law of the fortiEcation —a discussion in w hiLh he has taken a very active part. The Duke was present at the discussion at the opening of the session of the Chamber of Peers, and voted for the nomination of General Firlet. The Presse has joined the Commerce in oppo sing the Fortifications' Bill. The following is an extract from that Journal of Thursday on the. subject : " Count Mole has been three times Minister for the last ten years. lie has closely examined men and affairs, the passions which agitate us, the predilections which lead us astray, the parties which divide us, the Governments which observe us, and he fears, as we do, the project to fortify Paris, which with difficulty obtained •?07 votes in the Deputies, thanks to the condescension of M. "Guizot, the interested zeal of M. Thiers, the scandalous tergiversation of .11. Barrot and the Left party, and, finally, the coalition formed by all the Journals—from the National at the head, and the De bats at the tail, Count Mole fears that the fortifying of Paris is the abandonment of the policy of the last ten years, and is the inroad of a system fatal to peace, to our political preponderance, to our national independence, to our institutions, and to: ourj dynasty, and these apprehen sions of Count Mole are shared by the most eminent, the most experienced, and most cautious colleagues in the Chamber of Peers. If the majority of the Commission pro poses an amendment, and it should be rejected by the Cham ber, Count Mole, like M. de Lamartine, would at least have proved, that they are not the servile followers of the Court, as calumniously charged on the Cabinet of the 15th of April. If the Peers adopt the amendment, and the Deputies then reject the Bill, it will establish that the former vote arose from a surprise, a complaisance, or want of reflection. It the Bill is thrown out Count Mole will have rendered the country and the tax-payers a real service." The Moniteur Algerien of the 9th inst. contains the follow ing report ; THE GOVERNOR. OF SIEHEAH TO THE GOVERNOR-CENERAL. " On the sth inst. 3 3) Arabs of the regular army were ob served in the East, and a reunion of several hostile tribes was discovered in the south. The garrison hastened to beat to arms, and marched against the enemy, who have been routed, and much injury inflicted upon them by the mountain artillery. We had one man kil.ed and sixteen wounded ; our success has been complete." '1 he following is the copy of a despatch from the Minister of Marine and Colonies to the Maritime Prefect of Toulon, dated the 27th of January last : " have the honour to send you herewith the copy of an anonymous letter, without any date, which has been re ceived at the Department of the Interior, and which desig nates Joaquim Vicira-dos-Santos, a Portuguese, as being on the point of proceeding to France with the intention of pur chasing a ship, and then going to the coast of Africa for the purpose of carrying on the slave trade under French colours. This letter does not indicate either the port in which the ship is to be fitted out, or the time when the person in question will arrive. " Conformably to the instructions contained in the Ministe rial circular of Bth April, 1831, relative to the execution in the parts of the law of the 4th of March preceding, for the suppre-sion of the slave trade, I invite you to transmit the news of this project to the proper Ministerial department, that it may be able to prevent the execution of it, should it be at tempted in one of the five ports of the :sth division. You will also have the goodness to communicate to the shipowners, through the aamber of Commerce, the name and the project of the individual in question."

OF POLAND, FEB. 4.—Travellers who lat-ly visited Warsaw affirm that they have heard there that the number of troops now in the king dottt of Poland amounts to two hundred thousand men (only infantry). This number may be exaggerated, but it is certain that all along our frontiers not only the towns in which garrisons are usually placed, but the small places which can only be called towns, and which in general have no garrisons, are now lull of troops. They are entirely supported, as we learn, at the expense of the Government, by which a great deal of money is brought into circulation.

A few nights since, two English sailors, accord ing to the Semaphore cf Marsei:l2s, who had taken t4o much grog on board, picked a qua•rel in that town with son.e Frenchmen. Words ran h . gh, and blaws soon ensued. In t`.e conflict one cf the tars caught the leg of an ad% erstry in his teeth, and held iP, as in a vice, t;11 obliged to lei:1116h his hold by etc overwhelming power of num , era ; mind not then till so be itea ih it nut a feature in his face could to recognised. His brother blue-jacket. inei aunt at his ur.f.ir treatment, iate-posed, and determined to display all his skill and strength in the science of boxing, rushed iato the centre ef at least twenty of the assailants cf Iris messniate, and delivered tie blows with such force that ne soon made a circle round him, the diameter of which was at least the length of bis own arms. Jack cleared his way obt, and made towards the can hut was fo!lowed by so many adversaries that he teal at last knocked down. He lay for some time, perhaps not stunned, but only to recover -is late..th. and then, suddenly springing up, faught his way through a whole phalanx, till some polite otne• ri took him under their protection, and placed him in saf:ty. The Semaphore concludes its account with blaming the conduct of ifs tellow-t AMERICAN SLAVERY.—Moses Roper, who affected his escape from American slavery some years age, felive:o I an address to a numerous and resp“table and.- or y , r.t the large roo m at the Bear Hot e l, on t h e even i ng .f Thursday last. Bad as the system of American slivery :and indeed slavery in all its modifications) is, it is t;) he loped, fir the honour cf humanity, that his picture of the abominable system was too highly coloured; but when the cruelties, which even is our own country, were formerly imbed by man upon his fellow man are recolleetA, it must be acknoaleiged that Mr. Roper's statements might be übvtantially correct. De.iply harrowing and revolting as was his narrative to the sensitive minds of his hearers, he assured them that delicacy wauld always presci.t those who addressed a public meting from exposing tie worst fer tures e f the iniquitous system. As an instance he would state—although it was with painful feelings he ei f so— that he was the ille4itiinate son of a General Roper ; and that he was sold by his own father when only two eiers of age. For tei eral years his mother had acted as houtekeeper to his fathe.., upon whose marriago with a .white lady, he was sold, and removed to a distant estate with his inother. It was no uncommon thing thus to find fathers dooming their offspr.ng to slavery. Before Mr. Roper commenced speaking, Farmer Benjamir, of Coate, :nd a Mr. Wall, a wine.inerchant from London, rudely 'rntercd the room, and extinguished some of the rghtr. 0.. tieing remonstrated with, they retired, but when the speaker was in the midst of his address, they again re turtia,i, and in a highly indecent manner disturbed the meeting, and interrupted the speaker.

ME COURTS OF EUROPE.—Few persons who visited the principal Courts of Europe at the close of the last century, possessed such facilities for procuring Accurate information respecting every person, and every. thing worthy observation, as the late Mr. Swinburne, the well-known author of " Travels in Spain," &c. On his arrival at the various seats of government every one tirungel to pay him every Lt!e . atom in thei r p ower; and the csnsequence is, that such Interesting detail s o f what ever he became acquainted with, worth recor di ng, in his travels through France, Spain, Italy, Germany, &c., as we find in this posthumous publication, " The Courts of Europe," have never, perhaps, appeared.

TITHES AND CHUR CH - RATES.---Sotne time last summer a eeinand of 21. 19s. 9id. was wade upon a member of the Society cf Friends in Truro, for tithe;, and another of 6s. lid. for a Church -rate. Both of these demands, according to the uniform practice of the reli gyms community alluded to, were, of course, refused, and goods of the value of upwards of 134 were distrained to meet them. These goods were sold for 81. 14s. 30., and after all the expenses were defrayed, about IL ss. wrs returriel to the party as surplus, which he refused to receive, aad it was consequently left upon some part of his premises.

RIIENISH BAVARIA, FEB. 11.—We learn here with astonishment, from undoubted authority, that the French author tes at Lauterburg and other frontier towns have annou'ced that German desert.irs, who shall go to France with the'r horses, arm!, and bag gage, may enlist in any French re4iment that they may choose, and not be forced to enlist in the Fo reign Legion, and that the value of the effects they bring shall be punctually paid them.
