TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR—One of the greatest blessings of a free country is the liberty of the press ; one of its greatest curses is its licentiousness. Persons of the keenest sagacity have sometimes been perplexed to trace the exact line of boundary that should mark the legitimate exercise of its power, and prescribe the rnle that should restrain its excesses. But, apart from minute distinctions and scru pulous refinements, some things are so obvious and pal pable, that they cannot be easily overlooked, nor safely disregarded: The concurrent opinion of multitudes— I might say of millions—is, that besides other fearful signs of the times, the high interests of morality and religion are seriously endangered by th e p resen t state o f the public press. At the risk of incurring unmerited invective and misrepresentation, to which I am n o stranger, and to which no man can be a stranger who occupies a situation of any prominence, and who firmly and fearlessly maintains great principles that look with a rebuking aspect upon the prejudices and passions of either political or theological partisans—l say, Sir, at the risk of incurring such reproach and hatred, I claim LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER l4, 1841.

For one, lam not discouraged by this evenL I think there are many reasons, into which I will not now enter, that may explain what has occurred; but I-am persuaded, though the power and patro nage may for the present be transferred to our op ponents, there is a steady advance of public opi nion in favour of those great principles of liboral po licy on which I am now here to solicit your votes. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TlMES.—Little progress is yet made in the attempt to discover the original fabrication of the Macao letter of the 27th of April, which gave so false a colour to the tea market, but as an assistance to the sufferers it may be useful to mention some facts stated in a letter from a correspondent in Paris, who seems to have pur sued the investigation with a good deal of care. It now appears that Galignani did not copy the letter from the Semaphore de Marseilles, but that hehad himself the origi nal, and that the Semaphore containing the copy of the letter, was not received in Paris till the day after it had appeared in Galignani's Messenger. A com- GRAVESEND AND BLACKWALI4.- The Public are respectfully informed, that on and after Thu RSDAY, the 9th ins.ant, the three New Iron Stearn-boats "RAILWAY," "BRITNSWICK,"and "BLACKWALL," will mrke their passages between Gravesend and Blackwall at the undermentioned hours, starting from (Applause.) It is upon this conviction I appear among you. I have to• day canvassed some portion of this town, and on that canvass undoubtedly my success has been more than equal to my most sanguine hope.—(Applause.) I shall immediately resume my canvass ; I shall endea vour as far as possible to see every elector, and I trust I shall continue to receive the same general assurances of support with which I have hitherto been honoured. Gentlemen, I know not that there are any further ob servations with which I need at present detain you.—(A voice, " The Poor-law.") I shall of course be ready to - give explanation on any point on which explanation may be demanded, but for the present I shall take my leave of you, and when the day of nomination comes, then I will perhaps take the liberty of stating to you somewhat more in detail the opinions, and the grounds of those opinions, I entertain. His Lordship then withdrew amidst enthusiastic marks of approbation, and, accompa nied by his friends, immediately resumed his canvass. GRAVESEND, FROM TERRACE PIER .

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO, TIC DOLOREUX, SCIATICA, &c.—The Proprietor of FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCATION (a compo sition of Vegetable Oils) fearlessly asserts, and will test it .openly before the most eminent public men in the world, that there is not to be found a remedy a thousandth part so inno etnt or efficacious as this specific, so justly celebrated for the cure of the above. diseases. This assertion can be demon strated by evidences so invincibly conclusive, as not to be op- Posed or doubted by the most prejudiced sceptic. For inflam mations (ne matter how virulent) it has no compeer ; in fact, there is no Vher remedy known that will arrest lock-jaw or inflammation which terminates in external mortification ; and the Proprietor will forfeit any sum if it ever fails to arrest the fatal consequences of these distressing dis eases, which up to this time have baffled and rendered nuga tory the skill of the most eminent praaitioners in the civilised world. In spinal diseases i►s efficacy is also undeviating, if applied when the spine is first pronounced to be labouring. under disease. For Burns and Scalds it also stands pre-emi nently alone, extracting the fire the instant it is applied, by layin g it on plentifully with a very soft brush. For looping Cough, Croup, Compression of the Brain, Brain Fever, Quin "Y, Palsy, Paralysis, Erysipelr.s, Cramp, Spasms, &c., it will ibe found incomparable, by rubbing it on the parts affected.

Shortly after twelve o'clock, pursuant to public an nouncement, his Lordship addressed the inhabitants from the balcony of the Bridge Inn, and was heard with an unusual degree of attention, and received with loud applause. After a few introductory, observations, the Noble Lord spoke as follows :—Gentlemen, you must in general be aware what are the principles on which I come forward to solicit your euftrages ; you must be aware that I stend here as a member of the great party which has taken a very conspicuous part in the affairs of this country. I have been a humble but sincere supporter of the measures of that party from the year 1825 to this time. I supported the abolition of the Test and Corporation Acts, by which our Dissenting fellow -countrymen are now placed in a station of equality with their fellow-subjects of the Established Church. I supported the emancipation of our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects ; I supported measures during the form e r Government of the Duke of Wellington, calculated, by degrees, to remedy the then glaring defects in the representation, and when all these efforts failed—when by the blind resistance of our op ponents to even the most trifling and cautious measures of improvement a great change became ultimately ne cessary—when this took place, and the Reform Bill was brought forward, I had the honour to hold a sub ordinate situation in the Government by which that measure was proposed, and of it I was a most earnest and sincere supporter.—(Applause.) Gentlemen, since that time I have filled the situation of a Member of the Government ; I was a Member of the Cabinet by which a change in our municipal institutions was pro posed and carried—a change by which the principle of self-government was intro:bleed into the great towns and cities of this empire—a measure which, in the first instance, was only applicable to Scotland, which was afterwards exteuded to England, and ultimately, after three or four years of delay and resistance by our oppo nents, was extended (though I regret to say in a some what crippled shape) to Ireland.—(Loud applause.) Gentlemen, this will be sufficient to give you a general knowledge of the political principles on which I now claim your support. I cannot but believe that in this town, which derives the right of returning Members of Parliament from the Reform Bill, a person like myself connected with the Government by which that measure was carried, and closely connected with the head of that Government—(Hear, hear)—l may feel some confidence that from you I shall receive support—(A shout of " you're safe," and applause)—against any member of that party by which all these great measures of improve ment and reform to which I have adverted have been strenuously and obstinately opposed. But, gentlemen, there is another ground ou which, at thii parti cular moment, I make bold to appeal to you fur your support. You are aware our opponents tell us the questions to which I have adverted are now settled, that there is no longer any dispute on the subject, that they do not wish to repeal the Catholic Emancipation Bill, the Test and Coporation Acts, the Parliamentary Reform and the Municipal Reform Acts —that these matters are all settled, and that on these points there is no difference between us. Gentlemen, I think you must admit this is, after all, but a very weak and inefficient argument ; you must believe in the pro gress of human affairs, new questions are constantly arising, and that those who, in times past, on questions now settled, have been found to take a part which ex perience has shown to be a wrong one, who have resisted to the latest moment at which resistance was possible those great and necessary improvements —you have a right to presume that such a party is not to be depended upon for effecting further im provements, if they are required. But, Gentlemen, this is not mere conjecture. At the present mo ment you must all be aware that the country is greatly divided upon subjects of extreme impor tance to the well-being of every man among you. You know that the great line of distinction between opposing parties at this moment is respecting the financial and commercial policy recommenaed by the two great par ties into which the country is divided. On the one side you have a party insisting upon maintaining what they call protection, and insisting upon maintaining, under that name, restrictions—arbitrary restrictions by law— upon almost every branch of our industry; above all, re striction upon the trade in the first article of human subsistence—l mean corn.—(A shout of "Protection, Sir.") On the other side you have those (and it is among these we have taken our stand) who are of opinion that the languishing commerce of this country can only be made to revive, that new energy can only be given to the productive powers of the empire, by a cautious, but at the same time, a decided advance towards a more li beral commercial policy.—(Applause.) For myself, from the first moment I had a seat in the-House of Commons,i have uniformly supported this opinion ; in the years 1827 and 1828, immediately after Iliad entered the House, the Corn-law was the principal topic of discussion. It was at this time, as you are aware, that the act now in force was passed. At that time I was one of a very small minority by which the principle of that Act was strenu ously opposed. I was then too new to the House of Commons to take much part in discussion, but as far as my vote went it was given on every division in favour of every amendment proposed for snaking the system more liberal, and more especially in favour of the prin ciple of rather adopting a fixed than a sliding scale of duty. Gentlemen, experience appears to me fully to have confirmed the justice of these anticipations of the mischievous effects of the existing Corn• law, which at that time influenced my vote, and the votes of those with whom I acted ; I think it impossible practically to ob serve the operation of the present Corn-law without being satisfied of its being most deeply injurious to all classes in the community. As one deeply interested in the con tinued prosperity of the landed interest, with which my personal interest is entirely bound up, I have uniformly held that it is most mistaken and short-sighted policy for ourselves to adopt this selfish system of excluding the competition of foreign corn from our markets ; I think the justice of this opinion has been proved by the result. I remember since this act was passed, nearly half of the years which have gone by have been years of agricultural distress. I know in the years 1833, 1835, and 1536, a large proportion of the time of the House of Commons was occupied by the consideration of complaints, and just complaints, of agricultural distress. If I look on the other side I also see the law which in many years worked most disadvantageously for the landed interest, w °rising still more so for the manufacturing and commer cial interests. Can any man doubt the stagnation of trade of which you have cause to complain at this moment in this town ? Can any man doubt the difficulties, by which all the great branches of industry are encumbered, arise very much from the consequence of bad harvests, aggra- I rated by .he existing Corn-law—a law which seems care- MoRMONI sm.—lt is truly lamentable, in an ! fully and studiously devised for the purpose of filling age overflowing with intellectual light and learning, that 1 all classes with vain expectations which are not to be anything in the shape of superstition or delusion should realised.—(Applause.) We were told when the law was ' be countenanced for an instant, or that any set of men passed that the descending scale of duties insured the should be found so base as to practise deceit, under the consumer from the difficulties and distress arising from garb of religion, upon the more ignorant and unsus • high prices.

A branch of this new sect, the benefit is it to you the duty elescending to one shilling, Mormouities, or Latter-Day-Saints, as they are pleased if, by a complicated arrangement of the law, the whole to style themselves, has arisen here ; and from of that which might be paid in duty really goes to com the superstitious, delusive, and ab urd notions in- pensate those who before sustained great losses, or the culcated by the American Saint, its founder, it payment of the rise in price on the other side of the is not perhaps so much to be wondered at that water, which takes place in consequence of the capricious a few ignorant and silly-minded individuals should and uncertain manner in which the ports are opened ? be led away.

STANDARD.—We refer our readers with sincere satisfaction to the correspondence which has taken place between Colonel Crichton and Sir Robert Peel, in allu sion to the insult said to have been offered to the feelings of the Roman Catholics of Ireland by the High Sheriff of the county of Fermanagh on a recent occasion. when a seal of a highly improper character was affixed to some public document emanating from his office. We are assured that this outrage, so , properly de- precated by the Right Honour — aide jiaronet, - _ was committed by some underling as .yet undiscovered, and that, had the letter demanding an explanation from the High Sheriff been couched in decently respectful terms he would have shown that he had no knowledge of, or connection with, the affair. However this may have been, the leading Protestant residents of Fermanagh have been convened by Colonel Crichton, the Lieutenant of the county, for the purpose of taking into consideration the remarks made by Sir Hobert Peel on the subject, and have signed an energetic protest in condemnation of the act, expressing their total disapprobation of any conduct calculated " to irn pair the kindly feelings which so happily sub sist between all classes of her Majesty's subjects in that neighbourhood." This document further states that it: " no part of the empire does greater tranquillity or More marked obedience to the law exist than in that loyal and united county." The reply of Sir Robert Peel, whilst it disclaims the belief that the conduct com phtined of could have been otherwise than dis approved of by the Protestant gentlemen or Ferma nagh, confirms the impression which the Right Hon. Gentleman's original allusion to the affair was calculated to convey—that he will discourage to the utmost all " provoking and irritating demonstrations of party feel ing," come from whichever side they may. As on all oc casions in which the conduct of the Protestants of Ire- land has been impugned, a most ridiculous hubbub ap pears to have been raised in regard to the indiscretion in question. The person morally responsible for the folly was clearly a subordinate of the High Sheriff; who, be fore the excitement consequent on the election had sub sided, thought proper to adopt this very objectionable mode of giving expression to his individual feeling. Why it should have been attempted to identify this person with the Protestant people of Ireland we have yet to learn. COURIER.—ne opposition tactics are beginning to develop themselves, although who is to be the leader of the Opposition is not so clearly apparent. Mr. Roebuck, indeed, put in his claim, and took the field early on the strength of it, by way of hint significant that he at least would bear "no rival near the throne," much le ,s crouch before a superior. Lord John Russell, meanwhile, would seemed to be dropped by common consent, as unceremo niously as in 1835 he was hoisted over Mr. Sping Rice, his then leader, upon the dictation of bfr. I%aniel O'Con- nell, and in pursuance of the Lichfield House compact, to whose purposes that gentleman was not deemed likely to be an instrument sufficiently subservient and obsequious. All that transpires about the late Colonial Secretary is that his Lordship contemplates rusticating for the present amid the sylvan shades . and bowers of made both to Paris and Marseilles. In tracing out this mysterious affair, every hint must be found of the greatest possible utility; and from the character of Galignani's journal, it is to be expected that when the wish of the sufferers is made known to him, he will give his assist ance towards the discovery of the fraud. CHRONICLE.—Viewing the Corn-laws in the light of a money question, .Which is our immediate province, the encouragement which the sliding scale of duties affords to fictitious sales and gambling will be apparent to any one who chooses to turn his attention a few minutes to the great diminution of duty which is pro duced by every shilling of rise of price when the price reaches 70s. After that position is obtained, the trader who has corn in bond obtains a reduction of 4s. per quarter of duty for every one shiliing of rise in the price, and for a rise of 3s. in the price, he realises a fall of 9s. Bd. per quarter on the duty. Suppose a corn dealer to have 50,000 quarters of corn in bond, and the average price to be 705., which subjects him to a duty of 10s. Bd., and that the averages can be run up to 735., that will at once produce the minimum duty of Is. Here is a profit to the holder of 22,5001. by the mere raising of the averages from 70s. to 735. per quarter. Under such cir- cumsrances it is manifest th . at the dealers in corn have every inducement to enter into combinations and fictitious sales for the purpose of enhancing the price of food, so as to force down the duty to the lowest possible amount. Allowing that the holders should make a sacrifice of 3s. per quarter to run up the averages from 70s. to 735. per quarter, they have still a profit of 6s. per quarter on their stock on hand equal to 15,0001. on the supposed quantity of 50,000 quarters. These facts illustrate the injurious and fallacious operation of the present Corn laws, while the averages are in the ascendant. But when the prices begin to fall, their real poison and pollusion will be most thoroughly exhibited. It will then be de monstrated, beyond the power of successful disputation, that they are altogether had, radically false, and vicious in principle. There is no possible device by which their inherent vice and error can be eradi cated, except by their repeal. The error lies in their origin, by making the duties on foreign imports depend upon the price at home. If the rule had depended upon the quantity and quality of home growth, then there would have been something like a principle of justice in their composition ; but by the existing sys tem, in the case of a deficient harvest, and a general in feriority in the quality of British corn, the consumer is starved, because the coarseness of the home article for bids a high price ; and thus, by the increase of the duties, he is excluded from the supply of wholesome food from abroad. lle is mocked by an apparent plenty, from low average prices, and consequent high import duties, while wholesome flour is scarcely to be obtained, and only at prices far beyond his means of purchase. The monopolists may tinker and patch at the sliding scale until they are blind ; they cannot cure its faults, which lie at its root and origin, except by its abolition. Under the present system, the quantity deficient is only considered in .so far as it may appear in the action of prices. If, for instance, the average prices should decline between this and Christmas to 665. per quarter, foreign wheat would have to pay a duty of 20s. Bd. per quarter before it could be entered for home consumption. Now, everybody who has seen the samples of new wheats, even the best Essex wheat, must admit that they show a general inferiority in comparison with last crop, and that many of the second•rates are wholly unfit for food. Yet the comparatively low averages will induce the belief that food is by no means scarce at home, and the supply from abroad will he kept out, or at least very much cir cumscribed, in consequence of the rise in the duties. POST.—An attempt has been made to induce the holders of Spanish Treasury Bonds to enter into the proposition of Senor Kull, to accept three per cent. in terest upon them, instead of five per cent. which was guaranteed at the time of their issue, upon tile plea that, as the holders of stock had agreed to a reduction to that rate, the unfortunate purchasers of the Treasury Bills ought not to stand out. This is pure sophistry, and the creditors of Spain, either on the one or other security, ought not to sacrifice an iota of their claim on that country. At the period of the issue of the Treasury Bonds, the payment was solemnly guaranteed, not only by the Minister in Spain, but by the Ambassador here ; and the foreign creditor was content to take them upon that . guarantee after the home creditor had been paid in gold. They are an obli gation for the dividend due in 1836, since which not some Devonshire cottage. - Mr. Roebuck, however, on the first onset has so irretrievably damaged himself by his coarse and insolent onslaught on the editors and proprietors of the Times Journal, for which the provo cation was assuredly so slight as ought only to have evoked a passing smile from a man of mind, that it may be doubted whether, however disposed to play the commander-in-chief, an army can be found to follow under his banner. The ludicrous exhibition of division and distraction among the passengers by the Radical dilly, On the first Radical Motion this Session of Mr. Sharman Crawford, would seem to argue but small com mand in the self-assuming leader, whose solemn stalking out of the House on that occasion with Mr. Ward only bringing up the rear, was ludicrous enough. That, how ever, Mr. Roebuck means mischief of some sort may be assumed from his notice of motion for the abolition of the New Poor-law Commissariat of Somerset House, and transference of all their rights, powers, privileges, and dominion to the Homeo-ffice. It may be guessed that the single aim, with " malice prepense and afore thought" of this New Poor-law manwuvre, is to endea vour to damage the Home-office in popular accepta tion by transferring to it, along with all other appur tenances, the mass of that unqualified odium which the Somerset House people have contrived to accumulate upon the present Administration of the New Poor-laws. Whilst such is the first dawn of Radical tactics in Par liament, the Whig-Radical clique, we perceive. are showing signs of life out of it. Manchester and Leeds represent the tail of this Whig-Radicalism, and the first named joint of it is at this present moment expending the last remnant of lingering vitality in a little super fluous agitation about Corn-laws, by way of dying hard, or dying game, as the case may be. The fact is gra ciously commemorated in " a requisition to the Mayor of Manchester, requesting him to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough, for the purpose of considering the present distressed state of the population of that town and neigh bourhood, and the propriety of memorialising the Queen, praying her Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament until they have entered upon a full consideration of the corn and provision laws, which, in the opinion of the requisitionists, are the main cause of the existing sufferings of the people, was drawn up on Friday last and signed by upwards of six hundred respectable firms in a few hours. The Mayor fixed a public town meeting for Thursday next." Thursday next then is the day " big with the fate" of the three immortal C's—Curtis, Cobden, and Corn-laws, and Thursday next, too, is the eventful day for the re-union of the Commons. she fraction of a shilling has been received for the divi.- dends due for the succeeding years. If these be capital ised, and the lower rate of interest be accepted for the . . securities in question, there is no pledge but that a simi lar trick may not again be played. The Treasury bond holders stand in a peculiar position, not only as regards themselves, but if they submit to a reduction as a pre cedent for the Spanish Government further to swindle their creditors by pleading that " the holders of securi ties which we have acknowledged ought to be held most inviolable, have agreed to compromise their claims, why therefore should you demur ?" Under repeated conver sions and reductions, the capital will be so diminished that but little will remain to be reduced, and of that, judging from the course hitherto pursued by the Spanish Government, the creditor will not receive anything. It will be time enough to entertain the question of compro mise when symptoms of an effort to redeem the national credit be visible. .ADVERTISER.—The case of the Hamburg ship Louise, captured by her Britannic Majesty's sloop of war Grecian, on the ground of her alleged participation in the slave trade, has at length been decided. The circumstances under which the seizure was made were extremely suspicious, and the whole affair has conse quently attracted a good deal of attention, both here and abroad. It is, we believe, the first instance of a vessel sailing under Hamburgh colours having been detained on a charge of this kind, and this alone was sufficient to excite the curiosity and vigilance of the mercantile community of the wealthy Hansa Town in the assertion of their honour as a body, The Louise was commanded by Captain Boyne, and was overhauled by the Grecian on account of certain suspicious ap pearances, which increased as the search went ou. Among othc.r things, the vessel had a much larger sup ply of water on board than could be required by its crew, or than was, in fact, authorised by the Convention ex isting between England and France for the suppression of the slave trade, and to which Hamburgh acceded, we believe, about three years ago. The papers on board were also not of that clear and open character to allay doubts previously raised, though, perhaps, taken by themselves, they would not have justified suspicion. Added to all this, one or two of the parties on board were of Spanish or Portuguese origin, and as the vessel was in the South American trade there was evi dently every reason for the proceedings of the Bri tish commander. The vessel was taken into Cuxha ven, and last Monday the decision, of which we re ceived a copy to-day, was made known by the Commer cial Tribunal of Ilamburgh, and which is to the effect that the Louise is not a slaver, but that under the cir cumstances above detailed, as far as we understand the judgment, the English sloop-of-war was justified in de taining her, but that, taking into consideration the de dosition of Captain Boyne as to his ignorance of any such treaty as that concluded in 1837 between Ham burgh on the one side, and Great Britain and France on the other, for the suppression of the slave-trade, and in which treaty there are certain clauses specifying what shall constitute the grounds of search, such as an exces sive supply of water, &c., the Louise shall be delivered up on payment of the costs of the proceedings. GLOBE.—The Ministers are not to have it all their own way by taking the supplies in a hurry, shooting the pheasants at their leisure, and coming back to give their attention to the national distress at their very latest convenience. The city of Manchester has set an example which every large,town should immediately follow—by petitioning the Queen not to prorogue the Parliament until something has been effected, or at least proposed, by the new Government to relieve the sufferings of the people. We all remember the pro fessional tone in which Sir Robert Peel refused to prescribe " till regularly called in," and until he had got the fee in his pocket ; but he is a pretty quack in deed, if, these conditions being complied with, he coolly tells the patient that he is going out of town for five or six months, that he will turn the matter over in his mind, and prescribe when he comes back again. If the Tories, on coming into office, had no intention of immediately bringing forward some measures of their own, how gross an imposition must it have been to declare that their instant installation as Ministers was necessary for the nation's welfare I If they are to postpone operations for nearly half a year, their eager ness to get into place six months before they purpose taking any steps on behalf of the people must have arisen from a greediness of pay, which did not scruple to use any delusion, however gross, in order to give them the position by virtue of which they will obtain their salaries. No—as we have got them, let us at least have something for our money ; and though the prescriptions they will offer may do the patient no good, it is not to be permitted that they should avoid discharge from their new functions by abstaining from exerting them. We like the idea of the people of Manchester, and we recommend its adoption by all those cities in which a necessity is felt for obtain ing; from the Legislature an immediate measure of relief for the necessities of those who may—for what the new Government cares about the matter—be starved to death before the next year's meeting of Parliament. DREADFUL FIRE IN PICCADILLY LATEST PARTICULARS.-LOSS OF LIFE. The Fire was in a great measure got under about 11 o'clock, when, we regret to state, it was discovered that one person was killed, and another so dreadfully injured that his death is expected to take place hourly. The two unfortunate men both belonged to the County Fire Of fice, the name of the deceased is William West, and that of the other is Weaver. It appears that these two poor fellows, with Poynder and another fireman, had unper ceived entered the passage of Mr. Salmon's shop, fur the purpose of cutting away some skirting which pre vented those on the outside from reaching a body of fire which was raging in the joists which supported the bal cony. Shortly afterwards a crash was heard, followed by a loud and piercing cry, and the next instant Poynder rushed out of the passage of the private house of Mr. Nixon, and stated'there were persons buried under the burning ruins. Several of the firemen instantly went in and saw one of the hands of West, who was heard to exclaim " Oh Lord, Oh Lord ! " followed by a deep groan. In about an hour and a half the fire-sen suc ceeded in getting him out, when the body .presented a most dreadful sight. About five o'clock the 111C11 suc ceeded in extracting Weaver, who was found to have his thighs and ribs broken, but alive ; he was instantly eon veyed to St. George's Hospital. The front of the pre mtses in which the fire originated is expected every minute to fall in. The damage done to the residence of the Duke of Grafton is very great. . „ SIR ROBERT PEEL AND LORD ASHLEY.— The following Jotter from Lord Ashley, explaining his reasons for not accepting office under Sir Robert Peel, has been communicated to us, with a request for in sertion :—" Mr. —, In answer to your inquiry on behalf of the operatives of Lancashire, I have to reply that an office was tendered to me by Sir Robert Peel. Having, however, ascertained from him that his opinions on the subject of the factory question were not matured, and that he required further time for deliberation, I declined the accepta nce of any place, under circumstances which would impede, or even limit, my full and free action in the advancement of that measure, which I consider to be vital both to the welfare of the working classes, and the real interests of the country. In taking this course, however, I neither express nor feel despair. It will be your duty and miae, not only to preserve, but to redouble our efforts; and I still entertain a hope that her Majesty's advisers, after an investigation conducted with sympathy and can dour, will, under God's good providence . ; give to us all an answer of happiness and peace.—l remain, your very obe dient humble servant, AsnLEY.—Septemb , er 4, 1841.” Manchester Chronicle. There are four large American vessels in the Menai Straits, all loading with slates for Boston ; viz., the barque Tint/nes, of Portland ; the ship Dromo, Hill; the Louisa, Snow ; and the barque Junius.—Liverpool Chronicle. forbid that any controversy relating to our essential morals should admit of no decision." He adds, and with what propriety and force the same statement may apply to the present crisis, let truth determine, " Every monde has brought on its periodical calumny. The abuse has taken every shape which the ability of the writers could give it; plain invective, clumsy raillery, misrepresented anecdote. No method of villifying the measures, the abilities, the intentions, or the persons which compose that body (the party of which he is speaking) has been. omitted.' Words appear, as by prophecy, to point the very character of those vituperations by which the Dis senting body are profusely assailed in the present day. Sir, what has transpired in consequence of the recent Conference of Ministers of every Denomination, held at the Town Dail, Manchester, on the subject of the Corn .laves,.is the immediate occasion of my addressing you in .. this letter ; for I wish it to be solemnly considered, who:. tiler slquder and lying of the grossest description do not tend to disparage the character of our country, demora lise her people, blind the eyes of her rulers, and pervert the judgment of our insulted nation ? I ask whether the purposes of party are paramount to the interests of the suffering mass; whether a people starving for bread are to be required to stifle their complaints and see their children perish amidst wretchedness and want, and in silence, while the gentlemen of the press are deliberating and discussing, not how they shall devise or aid in the best methods to relieve their distresses, but how they shall must effectually hurl their thunderbolts at the heads of the Ministers of religion who voluntarily and disinter estedly come forward to attempt their deliverance; and whether the intellectual and moral state of the community at large is such that unrighteous laws can be maintained by unmeasured reproaches, venemous scurrility, and malig nant personalities. No sooner did the Manchester Con ference commence its proceedings than the triple-headed monster, fabled to be at the gate of hell, seemed to be come instinct with real existence, and to pour forth ap propriate howlings of fury and madness. I say it seemed so ; onii was reminded of the classical story—not that I would liken men to dogs—nevertheless the fiction of Cerberus was called up to view by the fierce looks and loud vociferations of those who should be reasona ble, candid, and well- principled men. Look, Sir, at the misrepresentation of the individual whom you emphatically, and with a studious sanction, call your " own reporter." He says " There were few Dissenting ministers present whose names were ever heard of before witliont the walls of their own chapels," except six or seven to whom he refers, of whom one was not there, and another is altogether misnamed. He declares that he "neither saw nor heard of any clergyman of the Church of England," though in the very same brief enumeration, in pure ignorance or mendacity, he gives the name of a clergyman us one of the very six or seven in question. He affirms that the number of the auditors during the day's proceedings never excei.ded forty persons, and began with eleven:; whereas not only were the seats occupied, but multi tudes more would have entered had there been accom modation. In your own leader it is stated that " about a score of sectarian preachers have been able to see no manner of reason why they should not incorporate them selves into a synod of tabernacle savans, by holding a pastoral Conference' for the 'advancement of faction' at Manchester." You further describe that " neither pains nor puffs were spared to give the thing ec.at, when 10, on calling the roll of expected attendants, this mighty stair dwindles into a conclave of some thirty obscure zealots 1" It is stated also that these were also " almost exclusively of the Lancashire brotherhood." Let me just inform you, Sir —no, you were informed—let . me just refer to the facts that nearly six hundred and fifty ministers were present ; that nearly or quite fifteen hundred had given in their adherence, but unavoidable circumstances . pre vented their attendance ; and they came from the most distant parts of the British empire ; that their eager at tendance' on the occasion was never remitted ; that their unanimity and depth of religious • feelings were never equalled ; that leading men of nearly all denominations were associated in it ; and that to the last the hall was densely crowded by persons admittled as spectators, and no doubt always contained from ten to twelve hundred persons ! Is a four days' Convention of this nature to be de spised.? Will the witnessing thousands of Manchester be made to believe—will an insulted country anda based truth admit the circulation of the great falsehoodt hat six hundred were only twenty ? Can the ultimatei m pression be favourable to any party in Church and State. who seek to be, or submit to be, beguiled, befooled, and led astray by audacious mendacity, prompted by hatred, or prompted by secret instructions, " to make the worst that can be made of the meeting, that the effect may be neutralised." Sir, I know the press, and hail its legitimate use as an important means of moral benefit to the world. It may the safeguard of a nation, and the handmaid of reli gion. Where used and not abused it must be productive of the happiest results to the cause of humanity, of truth, and of religion; but let it be venal, latit be false, let it be employed for purposes of party and of spleen, let it lie away a confidence it asks to obtain, and it will become the scandal of our age, and the ruin of our country. From the awful consequences of faction and anarchy, springing from the starvation inflicted by a Corn-law monopoly— from the blindness of party zeal, which sees not, for it .will not see, the faults of its own legislation and the mad ness of its own oppressive spirit—above all, from the fatal effects and the too late discovery of the self-destroying power of a corrupt, truth- despising, man-hating, and God defying press, I say devoutly, " Good Lord deliver us!" I disdain to notice the vulgar questionings and prepos terous ridicule employed against me and my brethren. My aim is higher. It is to protest against a course of proceeding by which anon mous writers (though better known perhaps than they suppose) are endeavouring to prejudice and corrupt the minds of our youth, which, if not checked, may not only injure the present ago, but send down their poisoned streams of influence to distant generations. You may dispute our titles, but we would not exchange them for those of falsehood and hypocrisy- You may deny our clerical character, but we will be con tent if we can resemble in spirit the unmitred apostles of a lowly Master. You may call us factious, but we shall ever believe that the worst faction in a State consists in attempting to conceal the real state of a nation from its rulers, and to hold up to scorn the friends of freedom, humanity, and religion. —I am yours, &e.

Such was the agony of the poor un fortunate wretch that it took three men to hold him. When recovering out of a fainting fit, in which he thought he was dying, he exclaimed, "If I die, don't hurt Jack Cowey.

On the contrary, it would most probably reduce the agriculturists of this country to the state of the Russian or the Polish serf—(Hear) — and thinking thus, lie felt it to be his solemn duty as a guardian of the people's interests to warn them against delusive hopes, which would only flatter them to their destruction.
