ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, 1, King William-street, London. Established Int. Empowered by Act of Parliament. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the fire preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation. Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months earlier than those effected at a subsequent period. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age Annual when Dateot Sum" Original Reduction Premium Policy Policy. Assured.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the o i dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these aflectlons, to point out their causes, and ,to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR. or a CLERGYMAN.

The in solvent, it appeared from bis examination, had been twice a bankrupt ; the last time, in 1836, be obtained his certi ficate. The creditors were paid a dividend of 2s. 6d. The Chief Commissioner said the insolvent, who had obtained his certificate in 1827, bad contrived to contract debts to 9,4301. ; far which no consideration had been re ceived, 5,786/. ; and 1,000/. was more than once entered. The insolvent bad lived at Tonbridgo Wolls, where his family now resided. He bad six children, and his wife had 7001 a-year. The Chief Commissioner declared that it was a very di s creditable schedule. The proposed bail were Messrs. Parry, linendrapers, on Ludgate.hill. An opposition was made, on the part of a Mr. L. Samuels, as to the description of their affidavit'. The Chief Com missioner asked one of them whether he had known the career the insolvent had pursued, that he bad been to amend . the affidavits, and said he twice a bankrupt, and had led a boundless course of extravagance, as had appeared from the present exposuro. permitted to go out on bail. The proposed bail answered that he knew the insolvent had been a bankrupt.

(From the Leeds Mercury.) Yesterday (Tuesday) a public meeting of the borough of Leeds was held, convened by the Mayor, on a most respectable requisition, signed by a hundred individu-ls - m and firms, compris ing many of the first merchants, manufacturers, and gentlemen of the borough, " to consider the propriety of petitioning Par liament for the repeal of the Corn-laws." The meeting sva.? very numerous. The Chartists, labouring in their vocation as common disturbers, did their utmost to prevent the speakers from being heard, and the resolutions from being adopted ; but they failed to prevent the resolutions prepared by the requisi tors from being adopted by a decided rrajoritv of the meeting. The meeting was at first called to be held in the Court house, but when the Chartists, by their weekly organ and by pkcards, summoned their forces to take early possession of the blding, the Mayor issued a fresh notice. calling the meeting for the spacious area of the Coloured Cloth Hall. The Chart ists made a secret but vet y natural alliance with tie kindred Association calling themselves the Conservative Operatives, and consisting of low persons paid by the Tories to shout at elections and public meetings ; and not a few of the Tories assembled to see the efforts of these united bands of disturbers and opponents of every thing truly Liberal. When the clock struck twelve, ;the Mayor had not ascended the hustings, but was just entering the Cloth Hall yard. At this time there were only two or three hundred persons mus tered, though the meeting afterwards consisted of five or six thousand. The moment that the clock had struck, a Chartist named Joseph Jones moved that Mr. Joshua Hobson, the printer of the Northern Star, take the Chair ; and another Chartist seconded it. Mr. E. BAINES, jun., said that the Mayor, by whom the meeting had been convened, had p7omised to attend, and that he was at that time coming down the area; that this being a public meeting of the borough, the Mayor had by usage a right to preside ; that he (Mr. E. Pains) therefore must de dare the motion to be irregular, and he hoped the meeting would not vote upon it. Notwithstanding this explanation, the motion for Mr. Hob son's taking- the chair was instantly put ; the Chartists held up their hands for it, and as those who refused to recognize the motion did not vote at all, there was an apparent majority in its favour. Mr. Hobson came forward and began to address the meeting ; but at the same time the Mayor (W. Smith, Esq. ), presented himself, took off his hat, and began to speak. Mr. E. Baines and others objected to Mr. Hobson acting as chairman, and called upon the meeting to support the Mayor. Mr. Hobson and the Chartists, on the other hand, resisted the Mayor's being ard, and claimed the chair as belonging to Mr. Hobson. The MAYOR, amidst great interruption and uproar, opened the meeting by reading the requisition ; he said that he be lieved he had a right, in virtue of his office, by the long esta blished usage of the borough, to fill the chair at a public meeting of the borough. He had on former occasions claimed that right, and with success, and he should do it again. He hoped that all parties would be heard. In the meantime the Chartists kept up a continued uproar, so that the Mayor's voice could not be heard. Every moment streams of people were pouring into the Cloth Hall-yard, and there was a decided majority in favour of the object of the meeting, that is, the repeal of the Corn-laws ; which majority became larger every minute. Many of the requisitionists were upon the steps which formed the hustings and in the area be low ; the attendance of merchants, manufacturers, and clothiers, was very respectable; and great numbers of the operatives were quite as decided in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws as those of the middle and upper classes. After the contest about the Chair had continued for nearly half an hour, the MA volt. said that it had never been his in tention to do more than open the Meeting, as he had left a meeting of Magistrates elsewhere, and must return to it. He hoped, therefore, the Meeting would elect their own Chairman. Mr. Alderman STartsrELD then moved that Mr. Alderman John Goodman should take the Chair. Mr. E. BAINES, Jun., seconded the motion. ' _ The mo!ion was put by Mr. STANSFELD am'dst much con fusion, and a majority of the meeting held up their hands for Mr. Goodman. The MAYOR afterwards put the motion again, considering that he bad not left the Chair till his successor was appointed. In order the better to decide, he requested those who were in favour of Mr. Goodman to go to the upper part of the yard (to his own right hand) and those against him to the lower. The division was made accord ingly, but not in a complete and effective manner ; it left the Chartists nearly in the centre of the meeting, and made it evident that they all consisted of the lowest class, with a very few exceptions ; but on their skirts were several broad• cloth Tories, who seemed to be encouraging them ; and also numbers who came fresh into the yard stopped at that end of the yard nearest the entrance, which happened to be the Char tist end. These circumstances gave them every advantage ; but when at length the Mayor called for a second show of hands on the question whether Mr. Alderman John Goodman should take the Chair, there appeared a very decided majority for the motion. The Mayor having declared that that gentle man was elected— Mr. Alderman Joi; GOODMAN took the Chair. The CHAIRMAN then called on any gentleman who had a resolution to propose to address the meeting, on which Mr. Alderman STANSFELD came forward. He was re ceived with loud cheers by the majority of the meeting, and by the Chartists with groans and uproar. This continuing for some time, whilst Mr. Hobson frequently renewed his attempts to be heard, but. in vain, Mr. E. Baines at length proposed to Mr. Hobson, that for the sake of letting both sides be fairly heard there should be two Chairmen, Mr. Goodman and him self (Mr. Hobson). The latter replied that he had been so i I treated that he would not consent to any arrangement, an.l that the speakers should not be heard unless they acknowledged him as chairman. Mr. E. Baines replied, that though de sirous of making such a compromise as would allow both parties to be heard, he most distinctly denied the right of Mr. Hobson to the chair; and Unit right would never be allowed; the Mayor was at first legally in the chair, and now Mr. John Goodman had been placed there by a majority of the meeting. But if the Chartists liked to have two Chairmen, he had no objection ; and he had ra ther both parties were heard than that they should have a mere row. 5, , This terminated the negotiation ; it suited the purpose of the Chartists quite as well (or perhaps better), to prevent others from being heard as to be heard themselves. The re mainder of the meeting was, therefore, a scene of confusion, and the speakers were only heard by a few of those near them. Still the meeting perfectly understood the sides of the respec tive speakers, and knew when the resolutions were put that they were in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. Stan'- feld war cheered by the majority of the meeting; whilst Mr. Wm. Hill, a Swedenborgian preacher and the editor of the Northern gtar, who attempted to speak at the same time, and to move a resolution, was cheered by the Chartists, but not heard. Air. Alderman STANSFELD came forward to move the resolutions, and spoke nearly as follows :—The first of the resolutions which I shalllave to submit to you is—" That the Corn Laws being based on the immoral principle of benefiting the aristocracy at the expense of other classes, tend to dissolve the bonds of society, and endanger the peace and safety of the empire."—l need not tell you, my fellow-townsmen, that the ties which bound together . the operatives and middle classes are bursting asunder those ties which a common nature and a common interest. generated, and which confidence in the justice of each other matured and strengthened. The operatives are sensible that there is a rank injustice somewhere—they feel themselves oppressed, and they are sorely oppressed and heavy laden, and it will be my business to ,show that the cane thereof is the selfish and unjust conduct cf the aristocracy. The operatives have their particular specific, on the nature of which I am now not at liberty to speak, but this I will say, that when the labourers of the land are made to bear the burdens of taxation, and the rich go free, as I shall be able to prove, th:n any measure, if it be likely to prove a re. mcdy,and is within the margin of the law, is not only justifiable but laudable. The middle classes generally are not as yet alive to the urgency of the case, and hol themselves aloof. The operatives deem all who are not with them to be against them, and tobe sid ing and abetting the aristocracy in these misdeeds, which produce their suffering. Hence the ruptures between these two classes, whose interests are identical. But there is another estrange ment going on between the middle classes and the aristocracy. In speaking of these latter, warmly and strongly as I must do, and the man who can speak coolly on the subject does not understand it, I must be understood as doing so, not against individuals, many of whom are most estimable and are in igno ranee, but against a class who, unfortunately for themselves and for all, have been entrusted with too much power. Had the individuals composing this meeting been in their places their conduct, in all probability, would have been the same. But the breach is widening between these classes. There was a time when many like myself honoured and respected the aris tocracy—when we regarded with pleasure their noble mansions, their rich domains, their splendid equipages, as belonging to a race willing to live and let live, enjoying only their own, and ever ready to extend the liberal hand to every good object. But since we have studiedthe subject of the Corn-lawsa change has come over our dreams, and contempt is taking the place of respect for them. We now consider their contributions as but the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table—from that table groaning with the fruit of the labour of him who is now forced to play the part of Lazarus, who is obliged to beg for his own, from those who should have been his protectors, but who, under the sanction of the law, have taken his pro perty to themselves. What are the facts, the unjust deeds, brought to their charge? I can procure, says the working man, from the stranger in a foreign land, for one day's labour food to support three of my children, but from my country men, from those who are my legal guardians, I can for the same work procure food for only two of my children—the third must starve. Again, by this extra price which they have wrung from us they have escaped all taxation themselves, and thrown the whole burthen upon us. Still more, they have obtained from the other classes and put it into their own pockets, a further sum equal in amount to the whole national debt of 800 millions. Lastly, aft .r casting all these burthens upon u•, which must be paid by labour, they throw us out of work by their unwise present regulations and absurd system of import duties. Let us try the aristocracy on these charges. The inquiry need not be of long duration, for their own servants have turned King's evidence against them. The aristocracy have bcen the masters of the land—the officials are their servants, and out of their own mouths I will prove the charges I have made. I will quote only two, Mr. Jame , David flume, who came into office under Mr. Pitt, served forty-nine years, and wham all must admit to have but one in terest at heart, and that one the interest of his country, and Mr. James M'Gregor, the worthy successor of Mr. Hume, at the Board of Trade. The first charge is, that the working man can procure food from the foreigners to support three of his children, whilst for the very same labour he can only . pro cure food for two, from his countrymen—that in fact food is one third cheaper abroad. I have understated the fact. Mr. M'Gre gor estimates bread here to be from 40 to 80 per cent. dearer than abroad, and adds, that the people of England do not eat one-third the bread they ought to do, nor the Irish one twentieth part of the quantity which the French do. Mr. Hume states the extra price paid annually for food to be thirty-six millions of pounds. The second charge is, that this extra price exonerates the aristocracy from paying any part of the taxes of this country. Mr. Hume in the celebrated letters which he wrote under the signature of H.B. T., E xpresses him , self to this effect—" That the Corn Bill adds to the press of agricultural produce a sum which in the aggregate is more than equal to all the State taxes paid in any shape by the landed interest. In saying this, I say no more than they say for themselves. The protection they cling to reaches them only in the form of increased prices of corn and meat; and as we may almost despair of their discovering that they might have those prices, and better too, without. protection, it is n ce!sary to try the justice of their cl , ims upon their own show ing, lest we fail of convincing them of their impoicy. Give us plenty of rent, they say, and we will not complain of taxes. There is but ore construction to be put upon this conduct ; it amounts to a plain avowal that the landed ' interest are in effect to pay no taxes." This is pretty strong evidence from a man whom they retained in their service PRICE sd. forty-nine years. The landlords allege in their defence that they have burdens to hear in the nature of highway rates and c ounty rates from which the other classes are exempt. Put what says their own steward, Mr. Hume ? " I know," he says, " thatthere are a great many charges whi c h th e l an d e d i nterest conceive to be pecul!ar on them, to fall upon their pro ductions ; but as far as I have been able to investigate these charger, I think they have services in return for them. I cannot see any ground whatever for any c,unt erva ili ng tax T upon corn." h e third charge is, that they have obtaineti from the other classes, to put into their own pockets, a f urt h er sum, equal in amount to !hr, whole national debt. I arrived at this conclusion by a calculation of this kind :—The expen diture of the country for the French war, say from 1793 t, 1815 inclusive, was, according to a return made by the House of Commons, 1,500 millions , leaving unyan millions. This enormous outlay, being chiefly expended on agricultun.l produce, raised the prices prodigiously ; that it. was manly laid out in the raw produce, ynu came at in this way. You will recollect the large army contracts for cloths in his town. Now what was that cloth made of ?—Weol, which is farmer s' produce, a 7.11 labour, the wage for which is again !aid oat in tool, the produce again of the land. The con scquence was, that wheat rose from 445. 11d. in 1792, to 1255. bd. in 1812 ; but, taking the average of twenty two 3 - eara before the breaking out of the war, and twenty-two years after, the rise wou'd be from 465. to 80s. Mr. PLINT, in seconding the motion, said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in seconding the resolu tions proposed by my friend, 11:Ir. Stansfeld. I approve of the whole of them—alike as they refer to the injurious effects of the Corn-laws on the trade of the nation and the interests of its several classes, and as they asset t the wisdom and benevo lence of free trade. I beg to call your attention to the his tory, object, and operation of the Corn-laws. I dismiss all reference to those enacted prior to 1815. The law of that year was the type of the successive enactments—terminated by the law of 1829. The object of all these enactments was to sustain the price of English grain at a price which was supposed to be remunerative to the home grower, and although that pr.ce has not been maintained, still the law has kept up the prices of British grain at from 40 to 50 per cent. above those of the Continent, and extent in years of absolute scarcity has prohi bited the importation of foreign grain. This is only one of its effects. It has restricted the interchange of commodities between this country and other nations, by its practical refusal of im port to the principal article of exchange which they had to offer us, viz. food. It has led to retaliatory enactments, which have not alone cramped our trade with those nations, but have raised up strong and powerful interests hostile to a return to a more liberal and enlightened policy ; and, as a la,t and most fatal consequence, it has lessened the demand, and, by eons, quence, the remuneration for labour, throughout all our staple trades. Special reasons exist why this subject should now be thoroughly understood and agitated. The nation has endured four years of severe pressure—much of which is doubtless owing to a vicious system of managing the currency, and to improvi dent banking operations, but which in the main is owing to the deficient harvests of 1838 and 1839. The Corn-laws, in deed, cannot be blamed for the occurrence of bad harvests, but the Corn-laws, I apprebeed, are clearly answerable for the deep and aggravated mischief, ruin, and misery, which those deficient harvests have caused. By forbidding importation until the price of British grain rises to a high—:even a famine price ; and by keeping it at or near that level, they have caused so large, a portion of the earnings of the labourer to be expended in the purchase of food, that the demand for manufactured goods has been largely curtailed. Prices have fallen, ruining the merchant and manufacturer, and employment has been con tracted—distressing the labourer. Thus, simultaneously with the advance in the price of food, the amount of the demand for labour has been lessened, and by a double operation the labourer has been depressed and injured. I may not in the present temper of a minority of this meeting go further into this part of the question. Before concluding, however, my brief, necessarily brief, remarks on this important subject, which we are this day convened to consider, I must allude to one topic of which much u , e is made by the party who are now clamouring down all fair argument and discussion—l mean the subject of wages. It is said that the Anti-Corn-law agita tors seek a repeal of the Corn-laws only to depress wages. Gentlemen, I emphatically deny that the Anti-Corn-law agitators have any such object. I emphatically assert that almost to a man they believe, and, on thorough examina tion, that the rate of wages is not regulated, except very remotely, by the price of food. The rate of wages is dependent on two circumstances, first and mainly, on the state of agricultural and manufacturing art in any particular country. A nation producing little can divide little; no matter what share the labourer and capitalist may get, neither party can get much, and vice versa; a nation produc ing much, that is, a nation in which the arts of agriculture and manufacture are at a high level of improvement will divide a large portion, alike to capitalist and labourer. Stripping the subject of all the mysticism which arises from the introduction of money prices for labour and commodities, it may safely be asserted that the rate of wages will be highest in that nation which (other things being alike) produces food at the lowest cost of labour and capital. The secondary circumstances which determine the rate of wages is the state of the demand for labour. If labour is in great demand wages an ill run to the highest level which will allow of a profit to capital, equal to the growth of the population, and sufficient to meet its claims for employment ; if labour be in excess then wages will fall, and the amount of the fall *ill be proportioned to the excess of the supply of labour, which, as in Ireland, may be so great that the v ale of subsistence and comfort may be of the lowest possible kind. The argument (if such it may be called) of the opponents of the proposed resolutions, implies that wages depend on the mere will and caprice of the employer. '1 he employer has no voice in the matter, he is the creature of the market. He must bay labour as he buys all other commodi ties--cheap, whenever offered in abundance—dear, when it is much in request. I ask you if wages have been regulated by the price of food in)this country. I ask, if in 1817, 1818, 1829, 183 . 8,_ andlB39i, years of high prices, wages were high or low, employment abtu4ant er scarce ? I ask yno if from 1832 to 1836, years °flow prices, there was not abundant em ployment and high wages? A repeal of the Corn-laws would, as 1 conceive, increase the mass of commodities to be divided amongst labourers and capitalists—and it would also increase the demand fir labour ; it therefore follows, according to the principles that I have lad down, that wages would rise if the Corn-laws were repealed. I have never heard anything to gainsay or refute this reasoning. Until Ido I must hold to my own conviction, and on the strength of those convictions, I maintain that the charge against the Corn-law tepcslers of seeking repeal in order to reduce wages, is most unjust. I [ cordially, second the resolutions. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolutions to the meeting. They had not been heard by more than those around the Chairman ; but. it was perfectly understood that they were the Resolutions of the Requisitionists, and were in taxoir of the repeal of the Corn-laws. The show of hands was taken both ways ; and the Chairman pronounced them to be carried by a decided majority : At the same time the sham Chairman, Mr. Hobson, carried on the farce of putting Mr. Hill's resolution, for which the Chat ti-tn held tip their hands, whilst the rest of the meeting laughed at it. The Chairman having vacated the Chair it was taken by Mr. Alderman Stansfeld. Mr. Edw. I.3AINEs, jun., moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, for his firm, able, and impartial conduct ir the Chair. _ _ Mr. Wm. WEST said—l beg leave to second the motion of thanks to John Goodman, Eq. the chairman of this meeting-, for his conduct in that situation. To take the chair at all in these times, and in this place, required no ,small degree of firmness and moral courage , and as a lover of peace and good order, I rejoice that he ft's shown that courage. I hope that you will respond to the motion which I now second, that the thanks of this meeting: be presented to John Goodman, Esq. chairman of this meeting, for his firm, able, and impartial conduct in the chair. - The resolution was put and carried. Mr. Alderman Joni.; GOODMAN returned thanks, ani the meeting was declared to be dissolved. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROU THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 6 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. FT ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 30, and the ex change at Faris on London at short being 25. 40, it follows that gold is 0 40 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 425 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10V. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.4 i, and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. si, it fol lows that gold is 0.41 per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burgh. 'lnc resignation of Mr. P. H. Abbott, one of the official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy , with some circum stances currently reported to be connected with it, has been the subject of some general remark to-day in the city. Much exaggeration has, as usual ;.ieen indulged in, but it appears to be untrue, as was currently reported, that. he has withdrawn himself, and any amount of deficiency which he may have in curred must be at present entirely matter of conjecture. The account of the affair which obtains most credit is that he had incautiously made himself a party to some propositions for loan contracts to foreign Governments in conjunction with Mr. John Wright, the banker, of Henrietta-street, under which de mands for large advances of money have come suddenly upon him, which lie is unable to meet. Mr. Abbott is said, indeed, to hove assigned this as the cause in his letter of resignation, and, instead of having withdrawn himself, remains to meet the result of the investigation into his affairs which has been or dered by the Court, and which is now proceeding. POST.—It transpired in the course of the day, that bills drawn by Colonel Gawler, the Government Commissioner at Adelaide, on the South Australian Colonization Commissioners in London, have been protested for non-acceptance, the al leged ground of refusal to accept being that the said Commis sioners are not in a condition to pay such bills at maturity in consequence of the Act of Parliament empowering them to do so not having yet passed. It is feared that much inconvenience will be caused by this unexpected demur, the bills about tone returned under protest having, in many instances, gone through numerous hands in Australia, and been disturbed throughout the whole of our settlements in that direction.

The Times of this morning continues its attacks on the new Poor-law, and its Commissioners, and glancing incidentally at the question of national education, observes Every one knows how much has been lately said in certain quarters upon the subject of education; but we suspect there are few whose eyes are yet open to,the existence of a systematic design to supersede the parental relations, and borrow from continental absolutism a system which will compel all parents and puar•. dians, especially the poor, to surrender into the hands of the State the education and management of their children." The Morning Chronicle remarks, with reference to the Church-rate question :—" It is clear that the object of fixing the qualification for voters for Poor-law guardians was not to invest Church-rates with any additional security, but to Fro v.de that the guardians should be chosen by those who had the deepest interest in the proper administration of the poor -rates. he substitution of the term poor-rates for parochial rates would at once put an end to the evil. The payment of Church ates has nothing to do with the qualification for voters for Members of Parliament, or fur municipal authorities, and why should it have anything to do with the qualification to vote far Poor-law guardians ?" The Morning Post observes, in a leading article on the sub ject of the Ministerial system of policy ;—" The Ntinis: - erial Journals profess very moderate and even Conservative views, te cause it is deemed very prudent, and pressingly expedient, to quiet the apprehensions of moderate politicians who hive hitherto supported the Administration. But the acts of :he Government are as much in favour of the movement as the power and resources of the Government will permit." The Morning Advertiser, commenting on Mr. Colquhoun's proposal last night in the Commons, that the religious instruc tion of children in workhouse schools should be confined to clergymen of the Established Church, remarks as follows : " We regret that this proposal evinced far more of a sectarian than of a religious character, and was aimed rather at uphold ing the undue ascendancy of a State Church than at the incul cation and diffusion of those broad and general principles of religion and morality which all sects and creeds admit to be essential to the A4 -being of the individual and of society. About creeds opinions may be infinite in variety ; about the broad duty of man to man a second opinion can scarcely exist." The Morning Herald observes, in an article on the Eastern Question :—" Get rid of that incubus on our oriental policy, Lord Ponsonhy, and we dire undertake that all the intricacies of the Eastern Question, hopeless as they are deemed to be by some among us, will speedily vanish before a little English plain dealing, honest negotiation, and a straightforwa-d, manful re solution to fulfil the contract which may be agreed upon." A WORKING MAN ON CHARTIS 11. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—If the Charter is a truth, and people acknowledge its consistency, they are not obliged to agree to all that may fall from its advocates. The " People's Charter" is one thing and Chartism another. The former is a huge block of principle unwedgible and indestructible, and round which some future generation may gather to do homage ; but Chartism, on the contrary, as developed by the speeches and actions of its leaders, is devoid of all principle, either of justice or expediency, having fa.len away to mere sec tarianism, and is now felt but as a clog on the actions of the movement party. The Chartists may be powerful as a sect to work un easiness to their Mends, but never, until allied to the large liberal party of the country, can they be of the least annoyance to their foes. In fact, it may be questioned if they—occupied with their tee-totalism and other shallow theories—may now, in a strict sense, be called a political party, For a political party, as distinguished from a sect (the mere propagators of a creed), must act on the public mind by means of an active and tolerant intelligence amongst its leaders, applied to the passing every-day oc currences of the time, whilst the sectarian, led by the " blind fire of feeling," fierce and intolerant in the belief that he alone is right, and that to gibbet the feelings, and hold up to the ridicule of an excited multitude, ell these who in any degree differ with him in opinion, is a public duty which in no case can by him be overlooked. Where, I ask, is there to bo found in the Chartk rank that large-hearted and charitable strength which alone can overcome the obstacles of interest or prejudice opposed to them? Where the English spirit and Lvely, buoyant intelligence which bespeaks a confidence in wel'- tried principles ? Is it, in the puerile and leaky mind which, child-like, says—" If you don't give me what I want by a certain day, I will neve: ask }on for it aga n, but will sulk for a month ?" What but these s( If-atjl,d leaders of the people has made the Chartist ii liculeus, and his name a bye-word of contempt. It is not in the abuse of those who have taken an in terest in their proceedings, in the reviling c f all till mea sures which have helped us to the present stage of opr im provement, that there men can hope for aid or sympathy from the majority ; nor in dealing broad and sweeping anathemas against the institu.ions of the count-y, mocking at the word sacred as applied to them, and wilfully closing their eyes to .the principle of freedom, which eneilea them to talk with impunity, as they do, tkat. which it it was not noneense, would he somethi• g wer:.e, that they can hope to canvey a conviction to the mind ihat . their principles arc just and honest. Do these men, in tl&r senseless opposition to the prty nesreit therns.clveq, ever rcflect on the arnotat of power in we,l:h and intelligence Ll', aycd against them as deadly fees to their Charter ? First, as high. st intellect a-d the &clients of real power, stand the Pu!c . ,ies, a small but sa;;i lly.increasing party, one that will t've,tually t as the ground lj narrowel between aristocracy and demo cracy, ab,orb the majority of the Chive' and Sae party, as nte..oss:ty forces then to combine for ti:e pr..- setv,tion of thi is privileges. Next may be w mid the clergy of the Establishment, which, fir com..inati n and the spifit of party, is unrivallet, vti h great wealth, red, by aid of its ca beg, immense influence ; then the aris tocracy of privilege, the nobles, the owners of the land, many of three iDsignificant as ind.viduals. many also of a high chivalrous epitit, but the who7e united as on:, band against the Charter. The aristocracy of wealth arc an ambitious, unscrupulous class, from which the maks of the above classes tee r.. ern't physically and financially, all of e.cse hostil • tn the Coarter. To the n iJd'e classes, then, comprising ill.; literary, the seientid:;, the prr frssional, and trading, communities, should the Chaiti t leaders rntr, particularly ci act their lion ; •this is the numerous and influential body occupying the &turti at midway 'rstwc ea the two contending powens in e country, hoichng the ha'anee hetweer. them, and ea pthile; at any time as in the case of the Itrf.,rm Bill, of deciding., by th,r wei;ht of its influence, any me rFure be fore the country. They are our fareguard against civil wars, protecting each prty alternst, ly against the other by , the nid of public opiniotr, awakened through the public pros in favour of peace and the rights of buth person and property. Now is it just or expecient in the Chartists to kid their most virulent abuse against this prty, the ono by whose rid alone they can peaceably gain their object; and to talk of geiai;:g it by force, with this patty in oppc siti.m, a:A the whole array of a-istocrzey to boot, whalf agaita.t both reason and exrrrie :cc. The above must Le taken as the opinions of a working roan and for what they ate worth. It is but an attempt on t'.e part a one who is favourable to the People's Charier, to chow that all its advocates sae not alike hostile to the middle classes. . 1 am, Si your obeleat servant, A POOR WEAVER. litalfields, March 29._ THE SON OF ROBERT BURNS.—Major Burns, the son of the justly . crlebrated Scottish pot, who his recently completed 26 Sears' £C-v:ce in India, and who now holds an appointment under the factory core .- " has been officially engaged dtring th e l ist ten core mission, , days in the pp ployed and other factories of the lcearity of Maidstone, perhaps the mod favourable district for the causes. uws ei with two c:no ft health of tip's() employed of any in the kingdom.
