Sir James's work is divided into two parts. In _ ql ,.e . first of these are described disorders ?./- 'the di restive organs, pulmonary consump 'len, diseases of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, a thrtis, gout, chronic rheumatism, delicacy in childhood and youth, climacteric diseases, and disordered health from various causes—all of these, especially in their therapeutical con ilrr 2ection with the main subject of the volume. the second, part, the writer, having made some valuable remarksupon ventilation, and given general directions for invalids makin 7 a change of- climate, proceeds to his analysis and a most philosophic one i t i s of all the iMportant climates which are cal efilated to improve the condition of suf ferers under- various diseases.

It is superfluous to express an opinion as to the merit of a work of which a third edition has been called for, and which is, we are asured, considered by the medical profession the Stand ard treatise upon the subject to which it is de voted. This much we may, nevertheless, be per mitted to say, that we are acquainted with no volume, the circulation of which is so likely to benefit that, unfortunately, too numerous class, despairing sufferers front chronic disease. MOORE'S POETICAL. WORKS. Vol. VIII. Longman, London, - 1841. One of the most ambitious, but least success ful, of Moore's poems-Lthe " Loves of the Angels"—is . contained in this volume, which contains also several miscellaneous pieces,• to gether with the greater portion of those ad mirable political jeu d'esprits which the author contributed some years ago to the columns of the Time. Of their kind nothing can surpass the grace, ease, and point of these rhymed baga telles. Though slowly and carefully written — for Moore has more than once told us that he is a slow and painstaking writer—they wear all the appearance of having been dashed off in a heat, under the impulse of the most buoyant animal Spirits. From time to time we meet with many political squibs in the Daily Journals and other periodical publications, but we have, as yet, met with none that will bear an instant's comparison with Moore's, who in this light, rapier play of mingled wit and fancy, has lone been, and is long likely to be, without a rival. The volume is em bellished with two engravings, one of which re presents a solitary young lady singing, withoat shoes or stockings, on the sea-shore, while in the distance appears a chernb, floating in mid-air, with two huge wings growing out of his shoulder blades. The cherub is evidently liStening with fixed attention to the lady's song, with which he seems as much delighted as are the gallery-gods of the Victoria Theatre, when Miss Vincent is en tertaining them with the classical ditty, " Nix, my dolly pals, fake away." In his preface to the volume, Mr. Moore indulges us with some plea sant gossip respecting his residence in Paris in the year 1820, whither he was compelled for a season to betake himself, in consequence—to quote his own words—" of difficulties of a pecu niary nature, and to a large amount, in which I had been involved by the conduct of a person who acted as my deputy in . the small office I held at Bermuda." Many friends - came forward with offers of assist ance on this occasion, but Moore boldly and manfully resolved to extricate himself from his difficulties by his own industry, and declined every offer made him. He thus speaks of him self and his prospects at this period of his career : To write for the means of daily subsistence, and even in most instances "to forestall the slow harvest of the brain," was for me, unluckily, no novel task. But I had now, in addition to these home calls upon the Muse, a new, painful, and, in its first aspect, overwhelming exi gence to provide for ; and, certainly, Paris, swarming throughout as it was, at that period, with rich, gay, and dissipated English, was, to a person of my social habits and multifarious acquaintance, the very worst possible place that could have been resorted to for even the sem blance of a quiet or studious home. The only tranquil, and, therefore, to me, most precious portions of that period were the two summers passed by my family and myself with our kind Spanish friends, the V l's, at their beautiful place, La Butte Coaslin, on the road up to Bellevue. There, in a cottage belonging to M. V 1, and but a few steps from his house, we contrived to conjure up an apparition of Sloperton ;* and I was able for some time to work with a feeling of com fort. and home. I used frequently to pass the morning in rambling alone through the noble park of St. Cloud, with no apparatus for the work of authorship but my memorandum-book and pencils, forming sentences to run smooth, and moulding verses into shape. In the even ings I generally joined with Madame V lin Italian duets, or, with more pleasure, sate as listener, while she sung to the Spanish guitar those sweet songs of her own country to which few voices could do such justice. One of the pleasant circumstances connected with our summer visits to La Butte was the near neighbourhood of our friend, Mr. Kenny, the lively dramatic writer, who was lodged picturesquely in the remains of the Pa lace of the King's aunts, at Bellevue.. I remember, on my first telling Kenny the particulars of my Bermuda mishap, his saying, after a pause of real feeling, " Well, it's lucky you're a poet ; a philosopher could never have borne it." Washington Irving was also, for a short time, our visitor ; and still recollects, I trust, his reading to me some parts of his then forthcoming work, "Brace bridge Hall,' as we sate together on the grass walk that leads to the Rocher, at La Butte. Among the writings, then but in embryo, to which I looked forward for, the means of my enfranchisement, one of the most important, as well as the most likely to be productive, was my intended " Life of Sheridan." But I soon found that, at such a distance from all those living authorities from whom alone I could gain any in teresting information.respecting the private life of one who left behind him so little epistolary correspondence, it would be wholly impossible to proceed satisfactorily with this task. Accordingly I wrote to Mr. Murray and Mr. Wilke, who were at that time the intended pub lishers of he work, to apprise them of this temporary obstacle to its progress. _Being thus baffled in the very first of the few re sources I had looked to, I next thought of a romance in verse, in -the form of letters, or epistles ; and with this view sketched out a story, on an Egyptian subject, dif fering not much from that which, some years after, formed the groundwork:of the " Epicurean." After la- bouring, however, for some months, at this experiment, amidst interruption, dissipation, and distraction, which might put all the nine muses to flight, I gave up the at tempt in despair- 7 -fully convinced of the truth and warning conveyed in some early verses of my own, ad dressed- to the invisible girl : " Oh hint to the bard, 'tis retirement alone Can hallow his harp or ennoble its tone : Like you, with a veil of seclusion between, His song to the world let him utter unseen," &e. • It was, indeed, to the secluded life I led during the years 1813-1816, in a lone cottage among the fields, in Derbyshire, that I owed the inspiration, whatever may have been its value, of some of the best and most po pular portions of " Lalla Rookb." It was amidst the snows of two or three Derbyshire winters that I found . myself enabled, by that concentration of thought which retirement alone gives, to call up around me some of the sunniest of those eastern scenes which have since been welcomed in India itself, as almost native to its clime. Abortive, however, as had now been all my efforts to woo the shy spirit of Poesy, amidst such unquiet scenes, the course of reading Ifound time to pursue, on the sub ject of Egypt, was of no small service in storing my mind with the various knowledge respecting that country, which some years later I turned to account, in writing, the story of the " Fpicurean." The kind facilities, in deed, towards this object, which some of the. most dis tinguished-French scholars and artists afforded me, are, still remembered by me with thankfulness. Besides. my old acquaintanc, Denon, whose drawings of Egypt, then of some value, I frequently consulted, I found M. Fourier and M. Langles no lesS-pronipt in placing books at my disposal. With Humboldt, also, who was at that time in Paris,• I had more than once some conversation on the. subject of Egypt, and . remembered his expressing him self in no very laudatory, terms respecting the labours of the French savans in that country. I had now been foiled and frustrated in two of those literary projects on which I had counted most sanguinely in the calculation of my resources ; and, though I had found sufficient time to furnish my . musical publisher with the eighth number of the " Irish Melodies," and also a number of the " National Airs, " - these works alone, I knew, would yield but an insuficient supply, compared with the demands so closely and threateningly hanging over me. In this difficulty I called to mind a subject—the Eastern allegory of the Loves of the Angels which I had some years before, begun a prose story, but in which, as a theme for poetry, I had now been anticipated by Lord Byron, in one of the most sub lime of his poetical miracles, " Heaven and Earth." Knowing how soon I should be lost in the shadow into which so gigantic a precursor would cast me, I had en deavoured, by a speed of composition which must have astonished my habitually slow pen, to get the start of my Noble Friend in the time of publication, and thus give Myself the sole chance I could perhaps expect, under such unequal rivalry, of attracting to my work the at tention of the public. In this humble speculation, how ever, I failed ; for both works, if I recollect right, made their appearance at the same time. " A little cot, with trees arow, And, like its master, very Iow."—POPE. Iu the year 1822 Mr. Moore was freed from his difficulties, when he instantly returned to England, and, on receiving his publisher's ac count, had the gratification of finding a thou sand pounds placed to his credit from the sale of the " Loves of the Angels," and five hundred pounds from the "Tables of the Holy Alliance." THE MARRYING MAN. 3 Vols. The " Marrying Man" is by the author of " Cousin Geoffrey"—a tale which we remember to have read with pleasure. The present is not equal to its predecessor; nevertheless it is worth perusal, if only for the easy, unconstrained vi vacity with which some of the leading incidents are related. The author does not pretend to depth or novelty of character, but she skims the surface of society gracefully, and wins upon the good opinions of her readers by the perfect un affectedness of her manner. The tale is dedi cated to Theodore Hook. THE ANTIQUARY. Cadell, Loy.don, 1841. A republication, in an octavo as well as a duo decimo form, of one of the best and earliest of the Waverley novels. The editions contain the author's prefaces, and all the notes, which he affixed to the celebrated edition of 1831. This is the first time that the "Antiquary" has ever been so cheaply or so elegantly printed. BIOGRAPHIES OF EMINENT PEBSONe. Cadell, London, 1841. We have here the fourth Part of the first vo lume of Sir Walter Scott's prose works, contain ing, among numerous other memoirs, biographi cal sketches of John Leyden , Charlotte Smith, Lord Byron, and the Duke of York. That of Lord Byron, which originally appeared in the Edinburgh WcrLly Jou mai, exhibits a warmtl of feeling unusual 'with Sir Walter Scott, whose biographies, generally speaking, are by no means -remarkable for this quality. His criticism on Leyden, whose poem entitled " Scenes of In fancy" was once highly popular though now for gotten, is much too eulogistic for our taste, but, indeed Scott did not 'often show to advantage as a critic. The part got up with singular elegance. TALES OF - A GRANDFATHER, Part IL Vol 3• Cadell, London, 1841. _ These popular historical tales are now issuing in a cheap monthly form, and will no doubt, be read with avidity by hundreds, who have now, for the first time an opportunity of becoming ac quainted with them. We have seldom seen a handsomer or more convenient edition than the one before us, which is every way deserving of public patronage. MEETING AT LEICESTER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have had a vast Meeting here to-day (Tuesday) in the Market-place, in support of the Government plan, zs a step to the total abolition of all taxes on the necessaries of life. Extraordinary pains had been taken by the Chartists, (who, to their disgrace, and the injury of their professed principles, were closely combined with the Tories) to defeat the meeting ; and the 'f or y faction, who rarely show their faces on these oc casions, assembled in considerable numbers. The Chartists. too, had imported Messrs. Collins and Taylor, and the Tories had persons in pay to disturb as much as possible the order of the proceedings. But all was in vain. The resolutions were carried by overwhelming majorities ; though the Chartist amendment was cunningly contrived, expressing only distrust and detestation of the Whigs, which many might vote for, who would not support the bread tax. The same amendment was moved to every resolution, but with the same result. The meeting lasted four hours and a half; the Mayor was in the chair, and Messrs. Easthope and Ellis, M. Ps. for the borough, addressed the multitude. The combined factions had hoped to produce an effect on the election, and their rage knows no bounds. T lIE MONTEM. This triennial celebration cf the Montem took place on Tues day, being Whit Tuesday, according to almost immemorial custom. The number of persons assembled on this occasion was greater by some thousands than we remember to have seen on any former Montem, and we have witnessed a good many, including the times of George 111 , George IV.. and his suc cessors, King William IV., and her present Majesty. The trans of the Great Western Railway brought host after host of visitors to Slsugh ; one train brought upwards of 1,000. By 11 o'clock the amount of arrivals was at its height. Her Majesty arrived at about half-past 10 o'clock, and was received by the Provost, the Fellows of Eton, the head Master, and assistant masters, in the usual manner. She was accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Lord Melbourne, Earl Albemarle, Earl of Uxbridge, and her usual suite. At 11 o'clock the crowding to get into the quadrangle of the College was tremendous. At this time her Majesty and Plince Albert showed themselves at the great window of the college library in the clock tower, from which they commanded a full view of the procession. They were cheered in an enthusiastic manner, and they bowed repeatedly in acknowledgment of the expres sion of loyal feeling exhibited. The procession began to move from the Cologe on its way to Salt-hill at about 20 minutes before 12 o'clock, accompanied by the band of the Ist Life Guards and the band of the Rifles. The sight was of its kind a very splendid • one, the dresses of the Salt-bearer!, the attendants on the " Captain," on the "Mareschal," and on the other authorities and magnates of the day, were very elegant and appropriate. The " Captain," Mr. Thring, the head boy on the foundation of the school, was, as is the custom, habit ed in scarlet, with cocked hat, feathers, sword, &c. The boys on arriring at the Mount took their stations around the lower parts of it. The standard-bearer ascended to the summit, and the carriage of her 'Majesty having been drawn up immediately at the bot tom of the hill, so that she and her Royal consort could com mand a perfect view of the whole, the ceremony of waving the flag commenced, and was performed in an admirable manner, and with untiring strength by the standard-bearer. Her Majesty looked remarkably well, and seemed to enjoy the sight. It was in every respect a most gratifying one. After the departure of the - Royal party, the eating and drinking in Mr. Bothman's inn commenced, and was succeeded by the prome nade in the gardens of the inn, which were crowded with com pany. We understand the head boy or captain, Mr. Thring, will receive in "salt" or money collected, upwards of 3,000/., but out of this he has to defray expenses that amount to nearly one-half. REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS CO-OPERATION OF THE FARMERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STRIA; your colu:nns are ever open to the varying views of your readers upon points important to all, perhaps you will permit me to offer a few suggestions on this " question of questions." I have dwelt long in agricultural districts, and I trust I can deeply appreciate the blunt sincerity, kindness, and candour of the farmers generally ; hence I am anxious not only that the proposed modification of the Corn-laws should receive from them no opposition, but, on the contrary, that they should see in the imposition of a fixed duty instead of a fluctuating one a manifest advantage to themselves. 1 peed not tell them that the Corn-laws were enacted not for their " protection," but for higher rents, in which those who enacted them largely participated. They are quite awake to this truth. They know well enough that the rents they pay are very different to the rents their fathers paid, and they know too how often their gi umblings are met with—" See what high prices are got under the Corn-laws, surely you have no right to complain I" Is it so, my friends ? Do you get the high prices which the fluctuating scale occasionally produces? Do your landlords make a practice of permitting you to withhold your rents until those high prices are realized? lam afraid your answer will he "We are obliged to sell to meet our payments at par ticular periods, and the high prices we almost invariably find are obtained when we have nothing to sell, but when the corn speculator, who can afford to be without his capital longer than we can, lets out his bonded corn at one shilling per quarter duty." if this be true, does it not occur to you that those whose plea for exacting high rents is the protection and high prices which the Corn-law gives to you are obtaining your money " under false pretences ?" Ask yourselves quietly the question—How many brother farmers have I known who have had their stock sold up under distraints and executions for rent during the . "protecting" operation of the Corn-laws ? Were there as many during the olden times, when no Corn-law existed at all ? There is another class likewise to whom those laws are said to afford " protectioe," viz., the agricultural labourers. Have those Corn-laws given them protection? How many enclosure acts have been passed since those laws came into operation ? How many rights of common and of pasture, where a poor man might keep a cow or a pig, or a few geese, to eke out his earnings, have been destroyed, and made into good round faring, she Lord of the Manor getting the lion's share, and the parson of the parish the jackal's? Formerly our labourers and working men were distinguished for their loyalty, are they so now ? Or have they been so since one by one under the " protection" of the Cora-laws they have been stripped of every chance to grow a cabbage or feed a pig. These are a few of the evils of the Corn-laws as they imme diately affect agriculturists themselves. Let us now look at a few of the probable, or rather possible, evils of a change. It is possible, I think probable, that corn will be lowered, while rents under leases will not. The landlord will have his " pound of flesh." He has often two bondsmen to assure it to him. How then ? Are those three persons, the farmer and ' his two bondsmen, to be ruined ? VV ill England permit it? Will England, that generously and nobly voted twenty mil lions to emancipate the African, refuse a portion of the duty on the importation of foreign corn to compensate, and save from destitution, farmers under leases who cannot help themselves. Many Corn-law Repeaters say that prices will not generally fall, and farmers Kill not be injured; if so nothing would be re quired, and all such reasoners will testify their consistency by readily consenting to grant as compensation what may appear to be the loss occasioned by the change. On the contrary, to these who contemplate a large reduction in prices, why the largest they can contemplate, if made up during the contin 11111CC of existing leases, would not be one per cent. upon the permanent advantages which the country would derive by be coming " the workshop of the world." To the farmer such a proposition would give hope and energy; he would cheerfully join in repealing laws which he well knows were never made for his benefit, it by so doing, he would not ruin himself. It is computed that the difference in prices paid by the con sumer between home. and foreign produce (say Hamburgh) is about 24,000,0001. per annum, ai.d of this that the landlords get about 6,000,000 t., or one-fourth part additional rent—the other 'eighteen millions are thrown into the sea, or, what is much the same thing. expended in forcing land, hicll Nature intended to grow thistles for asses, to produce dear food for man. If the landlords have mortgaged their lands—if they have anticipated their incomes to revel in luxury—if they have coldly calculated on the credulity of the farmers and apathy of the country lasting for ever, they deserve no pity. England is just, but England's justice to them would be on the other side of compensation—it is for their dopes and victims I plead— may my plea not be made in vain ! 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, HAMPDEN. THE POLISH REFUGEES.—We have much pleasure in inviting the attention of our readers to the fete pro posed to be given on Saturday next, at Stafford House, in aid of the funds for the relief and support of the Polish Refugees. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland kindly granted the use of their magniticen% mansion upon the occasion, where a con cert is to take pita, in addition to the performance of the celebrated tragedian. It is cheering to see rank and wealth thus nobly devoted to the generous task of administering to the relief of unmerited misfortune, and foremost in seconding the efforts of the friends of the persecuted and oppressed. It is still more cheering to see the homage thus continued to be paid to the cause of Poland, to hail this gratifying evidence of the sympathy in the fortunes of that glorious country being as strong as ever ; and that time has - increased rather than dimi nished die sense that pervades all 'ranks in this country of the enormity of Muscovite oppression, continued, as it appears to be, with unrelenting cruelty, and in spite of the remonstrances of every civilized nation.

CAPTURE OF A FRENCH SMUGGLING LUGGER.—On the 18th ultimo, whilst the Eagle revenue cutter, commanded by Lieutenant Ray, R.N., was cruising in the West Bay, about eight miles to the west ward of the Bill of Portland, and sailing under square sail and half-topsail, Lieutenant Ray, espied a large French lugger making for the coast, of which no notice was taken until she came nearly abreast ; the Frenchman evidently taking the Eagle (from her wily appearance) for a coaster. The Eagle then made sail, and gave chace, which was soon observed by the lugger, which, in an attempt to escape, was put on wind. The chase now became interesting, and some doubt existed whether the Eagle would have come up with her. There was a spanking breeze, and just the one that suited the sailing qualities 01 both ; however, the lugger, find.. ing the cutter gaining upon her, altered her point of sailing, but gained nothing by this manoeuvre, and then commenced throwing over her cargo, which is supposed, from her size, to have consisted of upwards of 200 tub s . A fter a gallant chase of thirty-five minutes, she was boarded by one of the English boats, who found eight men and twenty-two tubs of foreign spirits on board.. Five of the crew were Frenchmen, and the others were proved to be thorge andHeernerybrßouygathtt, to Portland, and Edward Cox , alias Silcox, of Pre s t on .

SPORTING INTELLI,GENCE. THE DERBY AND OAKS. The settling lo;:titeseWents took place yesterday at Tatter sall's, where every accommodation was made that could facili tate business. As is invariably the case when favourites win, it was very heavy, and, we regret to add,• not less heavy than unsatisfactory. On large account was altogether unsettled, and thus crippling others, who were themselves hit hard, put it out cf their power to meet their engagements in full, so that several parties who, on paper, were good winners by the race, left the yard considerably out of pocket by the settling ! It would only weaken the chance of a future adjustment of the balances to speak more pointedly. In fairness, therefore, to winners as well as losers, we shall for the present refrain from any further notice of the matter. HIPPODROME SECOND MEETING.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY. At the sitting on Saturday while some discussion was going on, the Moderator interrupted the speaker, and said he had received that instant a communication which, he thought, it was his duty to lose no time in laying before the House. He then read the following letter : " Edinburgh, May 29, 1841, Quarter past Seven, p.m. " Reverend Sir,—l beg leave to inform you that there is in attendance a messenger-at•arms, to serve upon you, as Mode rator, and on the clerks, procurator, and agent of the Church, an interdict, issued this morning by the Lord Ordinary on the bills, against you and all others, from carrying into effect a sentence of reposition against Mr. Cruickshank, and other ministers of Stiathbogie. As it is necessary that this should be done while the Assembly is sitting, and, as I am informed, orders have been given not to admit even public officers in the discharge of their duty, I have to request that you will give me immediate notice whether the doors of the Assembly are to be closed against a messenger-at-arms, having a warrant from the Supreme Court to execute. " 1 suggested to the procurator and agent for the Church this morning, that it might be most decorous that the neces sary intimation be made in the vestry, which, being within the precincts of the Assembly-house, will answer the purpose quite well, and avoid any delicate questions. Whatever answer is to be given, I request that it may be in writing, either from yourself or the clerks of Assembly. "I have the honour to be, Reverend Sir, " ALEX. PETERKIN, " Agent for the Strathbooie Ministers. " The Rev. Dr. Gordon, Moderator of Assembly. As the High Commissioner was not present, and the Assem bly did not seem prepared to give any answer in his absence, a messenger was despatched to inform his Grace that an inter dict had been served on the Moderator and all others, from carrying into effect the resolution of the Assembly. The Commissioner speedily arrived, and a long, irregular, and unseemly discussion ensued, of which the following, giving the result of the proceedings, is a fair specimen. The Moderator said, the officer of the House had informed him verbally that Mr. Peterkin was at the door, and wished to know if he would be admitted.—(Cries of "Admit, admit.") Mr. Peterkin then entered and advanced towards the Clerk's table, apparently with a view to make a communication to the Moderator, when he was met by loud cries of " Withdraw, withdraw." Mr. Dunlop asked what he wanted? Mr. Peterkin's answer was inaudible; when Mr. Dunlop turned round and exclaimed, " This is the way we are treated—we remove all obstruction to Mr. Peterkin's access, and he immediately comes up to the table." This was followed by loud cries of " Withdraw," and Mr. Peterkin retired accordingly to a more removed art of the House. An animated discusssion then took place on the question whether they should bring in the papers or proceed to the b us iness. They were about to take a vote on the question, when 11r. Gray. of Perth, reminded them that it was drawing near the Sabbath (it was now past eleven o'clock), and that, even if they refused to receive the papers then, there was no doubt they could be served over again on Monday. It was then agreed to bring in the papers. and they were brought in by the agent, and laid on the table, the officers stating that these were the papers left at the door by a Queen's messenger. Mr. Hope wished to know if the House now received these documents as properly served. Mr. Dunlop said that question would never be answered by the House. Ihat was for the Judges of the land to determine, not the House. Here the discussion terminated. THE WEATHER.-NOON, JUNE . ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE-STREET.

COMMODORE NAPIER FOR MA RYLEBONF,, AND THE REPEAL OF TUE CORN-LAWS. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE REFORM AND RE GISTRATION ASSOCIATION.• . _ On Mondaia - special General Meeting of the Borough of Marylebone Reform and Registration Association, which is composed cf between seven and eight hundred electors, and includes a large portion of the wealth and respectability of the Liberal part of the constituency, took place at Lawson's As sembly-rooms, Gower-street, New-road, for the purpose of af fording Commodore Sir Charles Napier, K. C. 8., as a candi date for the borough, an opportunity of being introduced to them,. and of explaining his political sentiments. JOHN BAGSHAW, ESQ., late M.P. for Sudbury, and President of the Association, presided, and wasesunpo . rted on the right by the Gallant Commodore Sir Charles Napier, and surrounded on the platform by the leading Reformers of the threo parishes composing the borough of 11Iarvlebone. The room was exceedingly full, and there could not - have been less than six hundred of the electors present. The CHAIRMAN having explained the object of the meet ing, proceeded at some length to eulogise the manly and straightforward character of the Gallant Commodore, which he conceived had been fully developed both as a statesman and a warrior, and concluded, amidst the most en thusiastic plaudits, by introducing him to the meeting. • Commodore NAPIER then stood forward, and was received with waving of hats and renewed cheering for several minutes. He said that it was a pleasurable thing for him that his poli tical enemies furnished him at every meeting he attended in the borough of Marylebone a new text to preach from.— (Cheers and laughter.) At the last meeting in Christchurch it fell to his (the Gallant Commodore's) lot to demolish the untruths put forward by a Mr. Benjamin Wall, who, he under stood, was the factotum of Mr. G. A. Young—(Laughter)— with respect to his (Sir C. Napier's) opinions upon the Poor law Bill and flogging in the navy. —( Hear ' hear.) His text that night bore upon an article which had been inserted in the British Queen and Statesman Newspaper, very kindly appointing him (the Gallant Commodore) to a command at Lisbon, whereas he had only, nn Friday last, resigned his command in the Mediterranean, in order that no obstacle might be thrown in the way of his aspiring to the honour of a portion of the command in Marylebone.—(Loud cheer s.) The Gallant Commodore here read the article he had alluded to, and observed that the excellent Editor of that Journal had been grossly imposed upOn. With rso much art had the imposition bren practised, that it had.bcen sent to the paper as an official communication, from Lord Minto; and the parties had gone down to Woolwich, in order that it might pass through the bands of the Woolwich corre spondent of the journal in question.—(Cries of 1 ‘ Shame.") He (Sir C. Napier), however, was too old a sailor to allow his flag to be turned.—(Loud cheers and laughter;) It was with sincere pleasure he met so large and so influential a body of the electors of that great borough as he saw before hina.--( Hear, hear.) And he had no doubt they would feel gratified also when he told them that at no previous meeting . which he had attended in Marylebone could there be found more than seven persons who had held up their hands against hitn.—(Cheers.) If he was sent to Parliament by them lie could ensure them that he should 'pursue the same independent course, in ,the House of Commons that he h a d do ne i n th e ser v ice o f hi s coon try.—(Great cheering.) :He would not go in shackled to support any particular Administratio n —(He ar , hear)—but if he was elected, he would do his duty whether it might be at the pleasure or displeasure of the Goveniment.-4 Loud cheers) He believed his poatical sentiments were very well known, but in order that he might not be misunderstood, he would say that he was for vote by ballot under a proper protection, be cause he believed that no Englishman could come up to the poll and give his vote fearlessly and honestly without it.— (Cheers.) With regard to flogging in the navy, it did not de pend upon individual officers, but on the Government— ( Hear, hear.) If Government would pay men better, a bet ter class of men might be obtained, and then corporal punish ment would scarcely ever be heard of.—(Loud cheers.) He was for short Parliaments because he thought seven years was too long a period to trust any man or any set of men.—(Cheers and laughter.) With regard to the Poor-laws he would be the determined opponent of any system which would preclude to the aged poor the privilege of out-door relief.—(Cheers.) He bad no notion of having the poor confined like prisoners in Union bastiles--(Cheers)—and he would have them• placed on precisely the same footing as the poor pensioners in Chelsea and Greenwich hospitals.—(Loud cheering.) For the able-bodied, work ought to be procured, but there were in every parish a set of idle people who would not work, and against these the law ought to be put in force; they should be treated with justice, and even with kindness, but the law ought to be enforced against them.—(Certainly.) He had been asked, if a war should break out, and he (the gallant Com modore) should be called upon again to take a command in the service of his country, would he resign his seat for Mary lebone ? He had no hesitation in saying, that the moment such an event took place he would at once resign the trust re posed in him into the hands of the electors of Marylebone.— (Great cheering.) He believed he had touched upon most topics, but he would be happy to answer any questions that might be put to him.—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) HENRY WAYMOUTH, Esq., said he wished to put a ques tion to the gallant Commodore, which, as it was one upon which great feeling existed throughout the kingdom, was one of extreme importance. He wished to ascertain the opinions of the gallant candidate upon the compulsory payment o Church-rates? Commodore NAPIER thought it extremely hard upon the Dissenter, after having contributed to the support of an estab • lishment of which he was a member, that; he should also be com pelled to pay a rate towards a church in the benefits of which he had no participation.—(Cheers.) Mr. HOUGHTON (Churchwarden of St. Pancras) said he thought the most important point of all had been omitted. It was a question which came home to the hearth of every poor man, and which would decide him more than a n y o th er as t o whether or not he should give his support to the gallant can didate. Ile meant the great questions of cheap bread, cheap coffee, and cheap sugar.—( Loud cheers.) In fact, h e w i s h e d to ask the Commodore whether he would not be disposed to go the length of free trade ?—(Renewed cheers.) Sir CHARLES NAPIER said he was prepared to go the whole length of the measures now before Parliament.—(Cheers ) He was not irepared to go farther at present, but as soon as the time arrived for farther advances he would be found in the sup port of them.—(Loud cheering.) Mr. Hoecurroat said the question had been answerzd en tirely to his satisfaction, and he trusted to the satidaetion of that great meeting.—(Cheers.) He therefore felt great plea sure in proposing a resolution in support of the Gallant Corn modore.—(Renevt cd cheers.) He felt deeply upon the question of the Corn-laws, and as a merchant he had an opportunity of visiting many foreign countries, anti he was convinced that the only way to secure the prospelity of Great Britain was by her entering into a free and unrestricted intercourse with all other nations.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman here described the markets which Russia would produce for our manufactures in exchange for corn, and the advantages which would accrue thereupon. He was delighted to find that the present Go vernment had at last had the boldness to throw off the shackles of the aristocracy and the obnoxious system cf legislation for classes, and, instead, had determined on legislating for the people. —(Loud cheers.) In so holy a work they ought to be supported, and it was only by the return to Parliament of such men as the gallant candidate before them that the people of England could show their gratitude.—(Loud cheers.) He believed the electors of Marylebone meet cor dially, approved of the principles, and most heartily would respond, whenever the time arrived, to the name of Napier.—(Cheers, and "We will.") With regard to their other representative, Sir Benjamin Hall—(Loud cheers)—he had watched him narrowly, and he was convinced that there was no true, no honest Reformer in the borough, who was not satisfied with his conduct, and who had not a wish to place be side him in Parliament a colleague worthy of himself.—( Loud cheering for several minutes.) Mr- Houghton concluded by moving a resolution, pledging the meeting to support the Gal lant Commodore Sir Charles Napier, as the colleague of Sir B. Hall, at the next election. —( Great applause. ) Mr. STOCK seconded the mceion ' which was carried amidst shouts of acclamation, with but five dissentients, who, upon in quiries being made, turned out to be three Tories and two Chartists, who, by some underhanded means, had managed to obtrude themselves into the meeting. Sir CHARLES NAPIER, having returned thanks, Three cheers for him, Sir B. Hall, and the Reformers of Marylebone were proposed by the CIIAIRMA ti, and most heartily and enthusiastically responded to. A similar compliment was then paid to the Chairman him self, and the meeting separated. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The meeting at Guildhall yesterday was every way worthy of the first commercial city of the world. The immense hall was crowded, and several of the first names of the City were present.. Mr..Larpent alluded to a meeting convened in the same hall in 1825, at which thirty resolutions had been brought forward in favour of free trade, one of them by Mr. Alderman Thompson, seconded-by Mr. Buckle; recom.: mending the admission of foreign grain for home consumption from all parts of the world at a fixed duty, liMited to a fair equivalent for such taxes and burdens as are borne by the cul- . tivators of the soil, either exclusively or in a greater proportion than other branches of industry. Indeed the City of London has on many occasions come forward in behalf of free trade. So far back as 1820 the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London, embodied their sentiments in favour of free and unrestricted trade in a petition, the first name to which was Samuel Thornton, one of the first merchants in the City, who had . been Governor and was a Director of the Bank. Mr. Alexander Baring presented the petition to the House of Commons, and we well remember the ear neatness with which, on presenting it, he enforced Its prin ciples. We have inserted this memorable petition at the close of our reports of Corn-law meetings. - Another meeting, to protest against the mischievous stature of commercial restric tions, and more especially the corn monopoly, was held so late as 1839; and the first resolution at that meeting was moved by Mr. Horsley Palmer, who stated that it was of the utmost importance, with reference to the currency, to have a fixed ditty. No advocate of the Corn-laws had the courage to face this meeting, and the circumstance was so far a subject of re gret, talk Grote that he observed—" Much as 1 rejoice to see the unanimity which now prevails amongst you, I still wish that it had been so far interrupted as that some of those gentle men who in 1825 signed the petition which has been read to you, ,and who now see cause to change their opinion, had come forward to-day and sustained their arguments, for I think that the fallacy of their reasonin g and the infirmity of their argu ments could easily be shown,"-..-(Cheers.) Mr. Grote, though he thought the best plan was to have no duty at all, yet admitted that interests - had grown under the present system which it Would be cruel at one blow to cut down. " TIMES.—The Conservatives of the City of London_ had, we doubt not, good reasons !Or - 546 ring the gentlereen who as sembled at the Guildhall yesterday for the purpose of delivering speeches against the Corn-laws, and who, departed after the business was over with " three hearty cheers, and one cheer more for Lcrd John Russell," to conduct their proceedings as they pleased without interruption. The statements made by. Alderman Thompson on Friday to the City Conservative Asso, ciation had in some measure prepa red us for this Conrse, by showing that, the constitutional interest is strong enough in the City to justify them in giving a little law to their onpprip ii t,. If those statements may be depended upon (Which we ice no reason to doubt), the approaching contest for the four inetroPO-' litan seats must Mevitably result in the signal .disconAtgre of the Whig party — a discom fiture 'which p re hably will not step short of the election of all the four ' sitting MenibersV Under_ such circumstances it might Well . be considered' unnecessary to take any steps which,. by producing a violent collision of parties us the Guildhall, might possiblYitave en d ange red the tranquillity of the metrAsolis, especially sinoel commercial men among the Conservatives themselves- ,are tbeitiedin opinion about the Corn-laws, the ostensible 'silbjea' for consideration at the meeting. We hair.altie reason Acs, be:c lieve.that the City Conservatives are as inxions'as their .opPo nents to avoid putting an extinguisher upon th? , projegted cart didif:ship of Lord John Russell for the .honours abo u t: to he vacated by IVIr. Grote, partly because' they desire t o h av eT "foeman worthy of their steel," and partly ilecausa.they.thinirs the difficulty of such an achievement as the defeat of the Noble Lord would be by no means proportionate to its glory. The' proceedings of the meeting, in which the Whi gs Ivem Ong quietly permitted to have their own w a y, furni4b. but tittle that rs w o r thy of notice. There was the old erambe 'rtpctita of Anti-corn -law arguments, good and bad, upon, this n ecas i on , even more than usually diluted with the falsehood and nonsense . which make the majority of sober.minded men feel that a cause disgraced by atc.h.grPsf rnPuiltOankery and imposture cannot: be alhigether a gOod one. • post.. The debate 'upon the conduct of' Milliliters will be resumed thi s evening. 'We hope it will afford no more exam ples of English member s endeavouring to excuse inconsistency by foolish re; inements., These at:empte are unmanly and un a man w ill f ran kl y say that he dislikes and dreads vkless policy of the p resen t Ministers, but still E hates the To ries so f ervent l y that he will keep the present Ministers: :in power, that the Tories may be kept out—if a man will .sa)' t. ts, tiv 3 rosy think little of him as a statesman. and a pewit:l , ', but twe can still respect him as an honest and plain-speak i 'a t t . ,7 man. This we can no t d o w ith respect to t h ose who are afra •stl to vote against the present Ministers, and equally afraid to stat a the plain, reasons of their votes. Nothing can be more absurd .nd offem ice than the attempts which have been made to bamboozle the public by persons who argue that though they disappro ye the policy of Ministers, they are con sistent in cot ing to :keep them in office. Such persons only show that th ey are c onscious of their own duplicity of con duct, and so udiamed of it that they endeavour to hide it from public observ. stion, as d perhaps from their own. Much better would it be ft ir such wen at once to avow the real state of the case, narosAy, that bat las the policy of the Whig-Radical Go vernment is, they wo, ad rather have it because it is Whig- Radical, ti'lat t have a ndther Government whose policy they would prefa r, if that ott..er Government were to be composed of Tories. 'io bad is the position of Ministers, according to the view to be taken of them from the point selected in Sir Robert Peel's I esolution, that their partisans are doing all they, possibly can to ibift that p , Ant. They are incessantly labouring to misrepresent the question before the House. " You are called upon," sa: r they," to accept a Government which has not: stated its plan. s. This is not the question before the House. it is not a quest , on whether the Government of Sir Robert Peal is likely to he b otter than the Government of the Viscount m e n;ourne. It is. Snot a question of comparison between the merits of respect ir ( parties. It is a very much more impor tant qu estion the n t hi'. It is a question whether a Govern :lint w i n eh has tre i unsuccessful in carrying its measurest.r six years, .and is at length beaten upon a leading question of finance, whe,`her a I ;overnment so circumstanced does not act unconstitutions, 11y is presuming to retain office. This is a question which gOes far beyond the present crisi important as that may be. It ig a constitutional i.oint, and not merely the-. oretical, as some con stitutional points may be deemed to be,. but eminently practiei .1. The fitness of the Conservative party to administer the Gt vernment has nothing at all to do with the question. • HERALD.— TE ere was a meeting yesterday of electors of the City of Londot 1, hi sld in the Guildhall, '• to take into con sideration the prop iet, of petitioning Parliament for an altera tion of the present Cur n-laws." The Lord Mayor presided at it. Considering t' be p. :otracted period during which that ab surd Association, wh ace members announce themselves as " agitators profess 4 sd" :against the existing Corn-laws—have had to lay their pl ans—,nrepare their movements—and coneect their speeches—we I must declare that this was one of the most lamentable failures that even the bungling pertinacity of the leaguers" has yet .iperpetr.ated. It has supplied much too slight a text ,for the rem: - ries we have been, from time to time, desirous of subm,'tting to tl to reader on the general question of Corn laws ; o f their Items sity, their modifications ; of the point of demarcatio n which a salutary policy sugg es t s between that un restricted fr, ee trade i n perhaps the mo s t precious of commo dities, which Mr. a llon advocated at th e mee ti ng i n ques tion,-and that reguh .ted machinery for its control which the vicissitudes of s Cason s, not less than those of our political rela tions, really requi, e to he established. But the meeting af forded a most signal illustration of the one-sided views, the selfish prepos s essions, the impracticable prejudice of the Libe ral, disinterested, un. cereal commerce, the free and unre stricted intercourse-sel tool, which, arrogating to itself the " ex elusive profess i o , of the most enlightened vie,,vs in every de e eft, trade, is rea ll y " exclusive" unit/ of our dam in its zeal to assert sis own i n t erests at t h e expense of all others, in the welfare of which that of the community is indis soluble bound u MONEY MARRET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE .731.0RICEn 1 PAPERS or THIS PAY. CHRONICLE.- -The newk' from Chi na , announc i ng t h e occupation of the :Bogue forts . , and factory a t C an t on b y t h e British forces, has I :ept the Funds flat ; but, in the absence of details, the effect orAe way or the other has been but trifling. The tea market has, however, exhibite..i increased animation, and a rise of 2fd. per lb. for Company's Congou has been realised on the prices of yesterday. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10/4 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 40, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25. 37k, it follows that gold is 0.10 per •cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices front. - Hamburgh the price of gold is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17. 10%d. per ounce for standard go Id, gives an exchange of 13. 7i, and the exchange at HamburE 'II on London at short being 13. S*, it follows that gold is 0.:34 per cent. dearer in London than in. Hamburgh. The announcement of the recommencement of hostilities in China was regarded "by the dealers in the English funds as unfavourable to the :maintenance of present prices, and what • with this and the payment of the cash in satisfaction of the stock sold on Chancery .account, there was rather more than usual heaviness in the ma.*Set. Great apathy is exhibited as respects business in the foreign securities, and the character of the bargains that take place is so unimportant that prices continue the same from day today. In the tea trade the news from China gave a fresh zest to speculation, and it produced quite a sensation at the public sales, which were proceeding in Mincing-lane when it was first' announced. At first there appeared a probability of the sales' adjourning, but this idea was soon relinquished, and as soon • as the news had been read they continued. Out of doors the speculators were very busy in concluding contracts, and up t to the close of business on 'Change there still seemed the desire to operate. However, there was that slight reaction in prices which generall v takes place when a considerable ad vance has been attained. At the sales, although a good deal was withdrawn for high.er prices, the few congous that were sold went at a rise of 2d.. to 3d. per pound. The most exie; rienced parties still think, however, that this disposition to ape-' eulate is too hasty, and that the supply will be sufficient to 'meet all ordinary 'demand. Notwithstanding the news from China slightly contributed to depress the English funds, and materially affected the tea; trade, those persons in the City who have most carefully. watched the progress of affairs in China, and who may be con siaere:l to entertain -the soundest views on the subject, expresi no great dissatisfaction at the renewal of hostilities, thinking that the negotiations hitherto carried on were of such a bung \ ling and unsatisfactory nature, that .any change was for the better, and indeed that those who were acquainted with the ChinCse character could anticipate no other result than a re.."' turn - to arm.. It is Seld that 'Sir H. Pottinger, who set sail" this morning in the Ch eat Liverpool steamer, together with- Sir W. - Parker, 41ho gees to take his station as Admiral of the Indian Seas, -is to act as sor". Plenipotentiary in our affairs with China, and will altogether supersede Capt. Elliott. The settlement of the risks upon the President entered into at Lloyd's, was to have taken ph:ce to-day, but was postponed to the 11th inst., to allow further time for news respecting her. New York Papers to the 6th inst. inclusive were received in the City late in the day. It appeared by these that Mr. M‘Leett had arrived in .New York, and was brought into the Supreme Court on the tith, and that the trial was set down for the 15th. The " United States Banks" shares are quoted at about 17, and generally the price of the different State stocks seemed to he improving in the New York market. The , jug gling measure, which goes by the name of the " Relief Bill, after being vetoed by Governor Porter, has been re-passed by two-thirds of the Members of each House in Pennsylvania which, according to the constitution of the State, is suffickeet to make it a law, in spite of the veto. It will be remembered that the constitution of the Federal Government makes the law respecting the passing of Bills precisely the same in the event of a veto by the President. POST.--The Committee of the Stock Exchange met to; day to determine what should be done with the Portuguese half-dividend bonsis, issued under the conversion scheme of • November 2. 'A resolution was passed to the effect, that it was inexpedient to recognise and quote such bonds for the present. The words for " the present" show but too plainly what the Committee would do if they could—that they would be at their old tricks again, as in the case of the Spanish swin dle of 1834; but they cannot. The iniquity of the thin,g:is too palpable, and their open sanction of it would most likely lead to the destruction of their monopoly. They entered fin.- ther upon the consideration of the propriety of altering the lists also, and the result of their profound deliberations is, that prices may be changed and others introduced before the publication of the lists, if they are duly vouched for in writ ing by both the buyer and the seller, the 'statements upon the subject being formally laid before the Committee on the sue • seeding board-day, we consider that the authorised lists of the house are completely vitiated by this foolish arrangement, and and that, under it, all sorts of abuses may be expected to en sue to the detriment of the public. Mention has been made of an assignment of a portion of the assets of the United States Bank as security for their post and other notes held by various banks. We have now some parti culars upon the subject, a copy of the assignment having been put on the file of the Recorder's cffice, with a list of the trustees named on the part of the banks at Philadelphia, namely, Messrs. James Pundas, M. D. Lewis, S. W. Jones, Robert L. Pittfield; and Robert Howell. It may be interesting to the shareholders here to know what part of the assets of, the United States Bank have been hypothecated. They are enumerated as follows : Bonds, mortgages, at Phi- - ladelphia 165,924 dollars ; real estate ditto 1,242,651 dollars ; real estate, Mobile 1,255,067 dollars ; pr , perty and effects, Buffalo 464,912 dollars ; stocks and loans, Phila. delohia 1,705433 dolhsrs ; property in district of Colombia 447,707 dollars; property and effects in Cincinnati 1,099,279 dollars ; bills an notes, office at New Brighton 372,721 ;. bills, notes, and real estate, office at Pittsburg 655,602; NHS and note., office at Erie 337,126. The total amount la 7,772,250 dollars. The aggregate of the post notes covered is b,078,444 dollars. The Canada accounts notice the opening of the river St. Laurence, which was at length clear of ice, and steam-boats had commenced running between Quebec and Montreal. The first arrival at Quebec for the season was the ship Vere, on the 29th ult., from Pool. On the following day came in the barque Great Britain, from London. That vessel encountere d . some ice on the Banks, a n d large quantities in the Gulf of St. Laurence. . , HERALD.--It is clear already that the anticipation of the French loan begins to tell on the Funds, and it may be Cod. dently stated that various capitalists, both in thwStock - Ex-, c hange and out, are making preparations for so far getting out of home stock as to be able to enter - for certain amounts into the new French loan operation when brought out, should the terms be, as anticipated, of an advantageous nature. Indeed it may be fairly osumed that in the present unpromising state of money and commercial affairs the French Minister of Finance is midi too shrewd. a man to apply for a loan, had any other option for the . satisfaction of present pressing necessities,beee open to hi m , an d t h erefore that, as necessity has no law, h' - will net, and cannot, scruple in such an emergency to consent to large samifices, and by way of attracting capital and invest ments to proffer some considerable and tempting bonus in 30111 C shape or other.
