As stated in their more detailed prospectus, the Directors confidently expect to be able to realise an amply remunerative return to the proprietors, but they do not desire inordinate profit. They will labour for the former as an essential condition of tke prosperity of the Institution :—they would decline the latter as being inconsistent with its leading object, which is to diffuse its advantages among the greatest possible num ber, not of shareholders only, but of customers also. The Royal British Bank chiefly seeks—without competing with, or attempting to rival, the existing Joint-Stock Banks, and to whom the public are largely indebted--to invite the very numerous class engaged in trade, or other active pursuits in the metropolis, who do not at I,resent bank at all, to avail themselves of the facilities in business, and of the social benefits, which " keeping a banker," assuredly confers :—to induce those who have not yet thought of it, to endeavour to ac luire a habit of prudent accumulation : and to offer to those who have already attained to this virtue among the middle and humbler classes, not Only a place of safe deposit for their accunuilations, but a fair return for the use of these—arising from their distribution amongst the in dustrious, energetic, honest, and unseal men, whose powers are nude veloped, and they and their families depressed, solely from the want, in many cases, of a little capital opportunely supplied. A portion eomparatively small, of the unemployed surpluses of even the humble depositors in Savings Banks, woul3, if discreetly lent to such persons as those above mentioned, raise the condition in life of multitudes in London, and by making them not only more useful citizens but better men, benefit society at large, and, by causing much that is now inert and unproductive to become active and fruitful, increase the capital and the wealth of the country. Such are the objects of the Royal British Bank. Having, by the favour s of the Crown, been not only locorporated, but privileged to increase their capital from time to time as their operations extend, the Di rectors purpose, thoroughly testing the applicability of the principles on which the corporation is founded, to the metropolis, before open ing branches elsewhere. Though their plan be new in London, and embraces features Which arc not to be found in any one Bank hitherto established any. - - where, the Directors are so satisfied of their soundness and public utility, that they are convinced it is only necessary to exhibit them in practice, to win all to their opinion. To do so lastingly it must be done gradually. They will, therefore, proceed by steps—if slow yet sure—preferring certainly to speed, and remembering that the oak was at first but an acorn. While the Directors address more particularly the classes formerly alluded to, yet the business of the Bank is to be conducted en prin ciples which will enable all others to avail themselves of the usual banking facilities. It is,however, the earliest desire of the Directors that the humblest customer who brings but his occasional deposit of a pound, be treated by all in the Establishment with the attention and consideration which the wealthy can at all times command for themselves. The rates of interest, &c., to be charged on advances, and al lowed on accounts and deposits, must of course vary with the state of the market, and the value of money, which so frequently fluc tuates; but at opening, the Directors propose that the following Shall be their E-4 C 4 cr: 41 "-• - 0 E m O • O tz; '4 a., 0 0 0 00 C 0 0^ 0 00 a de 0 C.R 000 C 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o<' 0, oa, e".

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a di ie regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE NIIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with in terest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be: relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first• live years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue . a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, hold er of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life shouli , l go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or :at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER SIUP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partne rs, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the (math of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole ea•pital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share with:mit having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission er Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Pol icy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are pay Able within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

The barony and est de of Islay, comprising the island of Islay and small adi emit islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most produetive properties in the west of Scotland. It co stains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. Tho present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage an improvements. The rents are periodically* and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, axle it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500,0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenseS, of 600,0001., in 12,000 50/. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, an I the whole body of Nominees to be insured out of the rectal, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis of 1!,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the general life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; he will, moreover, Farticipate, every ten years his nominee Survives, in the accumulated and constantly improving rental; and, in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absteute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced. The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq-, the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and received his entire a?- probation. Tho estete is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland. The affairs of :he Society shall be conducted by a board of seven directors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence In London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the months of June and December. The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share' (being the maximum allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 1/. per share shall be made on c mtplete registration. The remainder to be called up by stick instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment of the purchase money.

A R R I A G E. One half the world are desolately single, and the ether LPPo.ing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea Of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un aoraprosina hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness soeisl content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

A NOVELTY for the approaching season is in LA preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhill, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. G 5) in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of tke wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. TIIE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or abroad, of Messrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT. - z, and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

Morning Coat, now in almost universal request for the Country, Riding, Walking, Seaside, &c. Shooting Jackets adapted for the doors, &c. Many have assumed the use of the word PALETOT, but Messrs.

NEWS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—This afternoon a tele graphic announcement was made by the Admiralty to 1 the Commander-in-Chief here that they had received news of the discovery of Sir John Franklin and Sir James Ross in Prince Regent's Inlet, all safe and well. Such highly gratifying intelligence was speedily dis seminated throughout the port, and the joy was universal. The Scourge steam -sloop is commissioned at this port by Commander Lord F. 11. Kerr (1846) to have a com plement of 160 men for foreign service. The following other officers have also been appointed to her:—Lieute nants, lI.W. Wright and 11. V. Haggard; Master J. W. M'l. Hall; Paymaster and Purser, Frederick Gilbert; Clerk, Richard Allen; Clerk's Assistant, J.W. Harriett; Master's Assistant, J. A. R. Fetch. The pennant was hoisted yesterday. The Vivid steam-packet, Master-Commander L. Smithett, arrived this morning at six, and came into harbour to replenish fuel. She sailed again at 12.40 for Holyhead. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., was returned to ordinary this day. An extraordinary high tide has flowed to-day. Mr. White's new steam-frigate Termagant is ordered to be fitted as an advance steamer to join the first divi sion of the squadron at this port. The Encounter steam , corvette, Captain Gordon, is ready to leave the harbour. Wind—W. by N., fresh breezaa and cloudy weather. HoNuLta.u, MAY 30.—Her Majesty's ship Amphi trite, 26, Captain T. R. Eden, arrived here on the 23d inst. from Callao, and exchanged salutes with the fort, and on the 24th the ship was dressed from an early hour in honour of her Majesty's birthday. On this occasion likewise a salute of 21 guns was fired from the fort, and the ships in harbour and various public °Zees ashore dis played their gayest colours. On the 25th his Majesty King Kamehamea 111. gave an audience to the British Consul-General to present Captain Eden and several of the officers of the Amphi trite, when as many officers as could be spared from the duties of the ship attended. Her Majesty's ship herald sailed hence on the 19th be First Lieutenant, vice Aalett. Captain Moore, First Lieutenant Tinkler, and 96 men of the Portsmouth division, embarked yesterday on board her Majesty's ship Leander, 50, at Portsmouth. ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY. One sergeant,• one bombardier, and 15 gunners, em barked yesterday at Portsmouth, in the Confiance steamer, for Plymouth, to join a newly commissioned steamer there. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 3.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel Confiance yesterday towed the merchant schooner Eliza from Barnpool to the sheer hulk, when her broken masts were taken out and sent to the dockyard. The Admiralty have given instructions for the repair of all damages cons& quent on the collision of the Eliza with her Ma jesty's steam-vessel Volcano. The Hccla sailed for the coast yesterday. The Confiance left in the evening with stores for the eastern port. The merchant ship Thomas and Joseph Crisp, 350 tons, Captain Blackall, which left Newport with coal for Ceylon, experienced a succession of westerly and south westerly gales when in long. 12 W., which strained the ship, and caused her to make 12 inches water hourly, both pumps going; she, in consequence, put back, and arrived in the Sound this morning, - - PORTSMOUTH, Ocr. s.—The Encounter steam cor vette, Captain G. T. Gordon, went out to Spithead to-day ready for sailing orders. The Leander, 53, Capt. C. S. Duero 3, picks up men but slowly. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain T. L. Massie, arrived at Rio, from England, on the 29th of July ; she reports several slavers having been taken by our cruizers on the Brazil coast, and the arrival of the Apollo troop-frigate on the 7th of August, which was put into quarantine immediately she anchored, the cholera having broken out on board when she sighted Madeira. The Portu guese treated her brutally there, would allow no inter course, nor supply provisions of any description ; ten men and one officer I believe, says our correspondent, are dead. The Brazillians are not inclined to assist them, so she has been sent to about 60 miles along the coast to clear out. The Cleopatra sailed on the 11th August for the East Indies. The Reynard, 11, Capt. Cracroft, by the above advicos, bad arrived at Rio from England, refitted, and sailed fur the Cape of Good Hope, en route to Singapore, on the 11th of August. The Dragon steam frigate, Captain Hall, arrived at Gibraltar from this port on the 26th ult. Several more vessels are about to be commissioned, among them the Conflict, Vulture, Firebrand, Spiteful, Terrible, arc. WooLwicrt, OCT. s.—The Archer steam-sloop went down the river, under the charge of Lieutenant Robert son, on Wednesday to try her speed with the screw-pro pelier reduced to nine feet in diameter, but she had only proceeded as far as Barking-point when the piston rod of one of her air-pumps became bent, and as her engines could not work the anchor was let go promptly, and she was safely brought up. After remaining three hours off Barking-point the returned' to Woolwich, working only one of the air-pumps. The Terrible steam-frigate has been visited by a num ber of naval officers during the last and present week. She is now in the basin having two of her boilers and two of her funnels taken out, and it is supposed that she will only have two boilers and two funnels in future, instead of four of each, having been found when last in commission to get her steam up very well with the smaller number. The Firebrand steam-frigate, of 400-horse power, has taken her guns on board, consisting of two 63 -pounders of 95 cwt. each, and 10-feet long, on pivot slides and car riages, and for 10-inch guns of 85 cwt. each, and 9 feet 4 inches long, on slides and carriages. She is now or dered to remain at Woolwich ready for commission in stead of being sent to Sheerness or Portsmouth for that purpose. This arrangement has given great satis faction, as it is a long time since any large vessel has been commissioned here, and the paying off of vessels at this port is not of much benefit to the town, the offs cars and crews generally leaving immediately after. The Hercules store-ship, with a number of troops on board for Gibraltar and Malta, passed through the Downs on Tu e sday, piloted by Mr.i Stuart from Wool wich, who conducted her safely through the channel, although she draws a considerable depth of water. The old Romulus, 74, was towed from Sheerness to Deptford on Wednesday, to be broken up. The Magicienne steam-vessel is ready to be taken out of the East India Docks, and will be removed to Messrs. Penn's establishment, where her machinery is to be fitted by that firm. The .Buzserd steam-vessel- waaa. tah.en out of Deptford basin tce day, and is to be . taken into the East India Docks to have her machinery put in by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co. The Stromboli, steam-sloop. Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, is hourly expected at Woolwich to be refitted. A quantity of the stores which sunk in the Bee lighter when loading from the Terrible steam-frigate were re covered yesterday. The Undine steam-vessel had her steam up yesterday, and was taken out of the basin to-day. The Styx steam-vessel had her steam up in the basin to-day. Considerable interest has been excited by the attempt of a number of divers to recover the specie of the Plumper, a 14-gun brig, lost in 1812, on her passage from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to St. John's, New Bruns wick, under the command of Lieutenant James Bray, and having on board at the time upwards of 74,0001. in specie in boxes, destined for the payment of the troops of his Majesty. A. number of silver dollars, covered with a grey mould, grape shot and bullets, the scabbards of side-arms, leathern sheaths, and many other articles, have been recovered by the divers. It was made known at the Admiralty that Captain Knox is to commission the Firebrand at Woolwich, The Conflict and Spiteful steam-vessels are also or dered to be commissioned immediately. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l trust that there is not an Englishman who does not feel that the demand of the Emperor of Russia for the persons of the wretched Hungarians who have fled to Turkey to save their lives, is a back ward march in the civilisation and humanity of the present age. A Turk denies the gratification of the bloodthirsty vengeance which is required by the Autocrat of All the .Russian I May God bless the Turk in his superior humanity, I pray. But there is more to be done than this. Let England support the Turk in his Christian benevolence and mercy. I, for one, am ready to do so, and, without calling a meeting of my countrymen to join in the measure, I subscribe my name for 5001 . towards a fund to be handed over to the Sultan of Turkey, to assist in defending himself and his coun try against the hostility of Russia, if any is shown in consequence of her humanity ; and let every one remember that upon such an occasion, Qui dat cito, dat Lis. Surely, the day has not gone by when the wretched persons of a few defeated beings ought to be left quiet in self-chosen exile, and net be dragged forth for execution by an arbitrary tyrant, of whom even the exile is not a subject !--I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, WILLIAM CRAWSHAY. October 4. THE r. ALACE COURT AND TILE LOAN SOCIETY At orship-street yesterday Mr. Arnold expressed great satisfaction in announcing to the reporters his receipt of the undermentioned contributions, for the benefit of a poor working gun-smith, named William Jones, the particulars of whose harsh and oppressive treatment under an execution from the Palace Court, at the suit of a Loan Society, by which the whole of his goods, value 501., were swept away for a debt of 31.185., shortly after he had sustained the loss of three of his family by cholera, were recently brought under his notice :—" A Lady," 11.; " A Soldier," Essex, IL ; " L. F.," 11. " 5.," 11; "11. 5.," half-a-sovereign; 2s. 6d., forwarded from The Sun-office, where it had been de posited by " W.D.," a labourer; " W. C.," IL; the first half of a 5/. note, numbered 93,568, from an anony mous correspondent at Tunbridge-wells, in reference to which the magistrate expressed his intention to devote one half of the amount to the purposes of the poor-box, pursuant to the discretion vested in him by the owner; A. 8." 2s. 61 in postage-stamps; Mr. W. Mercer, land lord of tho Coach and Horses, Blue Anchor-alley, Bun hill row, and a few of his customers, half-a-sovereign; and the half of a 51. bank-note, numbered 11,221, from a gentleman using the initial " II.," who described it as a tribute of his sympathy for the sufferings the poor wan had undergone from two such visitations as the cholera and the Palace Court. The magistrate has also received 11. from " A Lady," I/. from " 5.," and 10s. from "L. H.," in aid of the poor - box fund; also , from " J.N.," 11.; " U. T.," 1/. is.; and "A Lady," 12s. in postage-stamps, for the relief of the widows and children of poor persons who bad died of cholera. All the benevolent donors desired to see an acknowledgment of their contri butions in the papers. ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICLI, OCT. s.—One non-commissioned officer and two gunners, with one non commissioned officer and two privates of the Royal Sappers and Miners, embarked at RofT's-wharf, at ten o'clock A.M , to-day, for Shoeburyness, to take charge of the stores there during the winter; and Captain llyde's company will return to head-quarters this afternoon from Shoeburyness, as the company has been placed under orders, with Major Desbrisay's company, to pro. ceed to Ireland about the middle of the present month, to relieve Captain P. Benn's and Captain Wright's com panies, being the two first on the roster for foreign serTieg. ESSEX. The annual meeting of the Agricultural and Conser vative Club for the hundred of Hinchford, in North Essex, was held yesterday at Castle He dingham, a small village about nine miles from Braintree, and nearly as many from Sudbury. The principal attraction to the Castle Hedingham meetirg on the present ;occasion was the presence of Mr. Disraeli, who, happening to be on a visit to the Member for the division, Sir John Tyrell, was invited to came over with the Honourable Baronet, and attend the gathering. Upwards of 200 persons were present; and the place was rendered yet more gay by the presence of a number of ladies in the gallery. Ashurst Magendie, Lep, the present proprietor of the Castle, and president of the club, took the chair. There were president on his right, Lord Headley. Sir John Tyrell, Bart., and on the left Mr. Disraeli, Major Bens ' ford, M.P., Sir F. Simpkinson, Bart., &c. After the usual loyal toasts, the CHAIRMAN then, amidst loud applause, proposed "Success to the Hinch ford Agricultural and Conservative Club." The Rev. Mr. Cox, of Favistead, who was saluted with loud cheers, and all the cries peculiar to fox-hunt ing, returned thanks. He defended the chinexion of Conservatism with agriculture in this club, on the ground that five agricultural societies had previously existed in Chelmsford and Colchester, which had lately expired, while this society had met to night, increased in numbers and influence, to celebrate its sixteenth anni versary.--(Loud cheers.) Besides, the friends of the farmers were invariably to be found in the Conservative ranks ; for among the Whig and Radical members there were not five who could be trusted as friendly to their cause. There were Lord Beaumont and Lord Worsley, now Lord Yarborough, who, when Peel was in power, joined the Central Protection Society ; but since the Whigs had come into power these Noblemen never darkened the doors of the Protection Society, and they both voted for the repeal of the navigation-laws, to put, as was said, the capital on the column of free trade.— (Hear, hear.) At the same time, he did not mean to blame the Whig gentry and farmers—he knew they blamed Lord John Russell for deserting his principles, as much as the Conservatives blamed Sir Robert Peel for deserting his ; pnd his advice to the Whigs was to fol low the example of the Conservatives—to turn off their leader and find another.—(Cheers.) He then referred to the fact that six farms had been advertised in the local papers to be let for a month together, and there appeared to be no bidders. This was significant of a great change of opinion among the farmers, who began to despair of things ever being better.—(Hear, hear.) Ile would instance the case of his own farm, which he attended to daily, and had held for fourteen years. His farm was of 100 acres, and he had 1,0001. capital in it; and the result of his accounts for this year was that the produce paid his rent and all his outgoings, except 41. 17s. 6d. But then he had no return whatever for his capital of 1,000/. That was the state of the tenant farmers at the present moment. It might be said he was making out a case for the non-payment of rent; but he was there to speak the honest truth, and the honest truth was, that the farmers were paying rents out of their own pockets. He asked the meeting if this state of things could go on?—(No, no.) The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to satirise what he called the modern agricultural quack doctors, from Mr. Mechi of the magic razor-strop to Lord Brougham, whose pl..n was to pro duce a cross between a steam- engine and a tea-kettle — (Laughter)—and he concluded by giving his own plan for the cure of agricultural distress, and that was to convert the minority that followed his Hon. Friend the Member for Buckinghamshire into a majority, and the busines was done.—(Cheers.) How was this to be effected? It rested with the gentry and the tenant-farmers of Eng land, and he called upon them to begin by displacing Sir E. Buxton from South Essex, Mr. Hardcastle from Colchester, and Mr. Lonnard from Maldon.—(Cheers.) What they were to do when they got that majority he would leave to wiser heads than his own; but this he would say, on the part of the farmers of Essex, that all they wanted was justice, and that the Hon. Member for Bucks should persevere in his efforts to obtain an equ lity of taxation—(Cheers)—and to make the foreigner pay a toll for the liberty of entering our markets, and then the farmers would be content.—(Cheers.) 'rho CHAIRMAN then, amidst enthusiastic applause, propos d the health of their distinguished visitor, Mr. Disraeli, who was recognised as the leader of the agri cultural cause in the House of Commons. His writings were not mere pictures of persons and manners, but he laid before them sentiments that did honour to the human heart—he laid open to them the evils of the political system of England, and held out brighter destinies to England than that she should become a mere cotton manufactory.—(Cheers.) But it was not as an author, but as a politician, that he was now among them. In his works kindness and gentleness appeared to be his chief characteristics; but when the time came, and it had come, to lay bare treachery, he was possessed of thoughts that breathe and words that burn to expose and to'scathe that treachery.—(Cheers.) Without fur ther preface he begged to give them the health of their distinguished guest Benjamin Disraeli, Esq.—(Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI was received with loud cheers. He said—l feel no inconsiderable embarrassment in pre suming to address you on this occasion. As a general rule, which has always guided me through any public experience I have had in political life, I have refrained from venturing to give any opinion on public affairs out of the limits of that district where it is my happiness to live, and which I have the honour to represent. — (Cheers.) For this reason I have taken the liberty al ways to refuse those invitations which have too flatter ingly been proffered me from bodies of my countrymen in other parts of England who wished to express to me their sense of my humble services in their behalf, and if I venture to make an exception in the present instance of the county of Essex it is for two reasons. The first, indeed, is one which has already been alluded to by my Hon. Friend Mr. Cox , that I was well assured that in coming here I would meet with a genuine body of Eng lish yeomen.—(Cheers)—that it could not for a mo ment be supposed that in appearing before you this day I came only as the gues t of some fortunate indi vidual who dictates his opinions to multitudes who were ready or obliged to accept them ; but that at a moment very critical to the fortunes of all who are interested in the cultivation of land in England, I should find among you a fair specimen and a fair representation of the yeomanry of the country. But, notwithstanding my wish to attend a meeting of such a character, I should have hesitated to accept the invitation which was prof fered me, had I nut recollected that in the course of last year I received from the county of Essex a petition signed by several thousands, which, with the consent and the sanction of the Members for Essex, the consti tuency wished that I should present to the House of Commons, as a general testimony of their sense of my humble services on behalf of agriculture.—(Loud cheers.) Therefore I hope that I shall not be considered an in truder or a stranger—(No, no)—when you have already so publicly expressed your approbation of my conduct, and your confidence in me, and since you allowed me in my place in Parliament to prove that I possess the confidence not only of my constituents, but the confidence of the county of Essex.—(Loud cheers.) My Hon. Friend the Chairman has told you that I wish to express to you my views on our present forlorn situation. I can hardly presume to do that; though I will venture, if you will permit me, to offer a few observations.—(Hear, hear.) And it' is still less necessary for me to do so, because you have already had an able exposition of your condition from my Hononrable Friend Mr. Cox, to whom I listened with delight, but I confess I wish I had heard it another place, for if that speech bad been made in the House of Commons you may depend upon it that it would have produced not less effect than it has done in this ancient hall of the Do Veres.—(Loud cheers.) We meet here after the advantage of considerable experience since those changes occurred to which every gentleman who has addressed you to night has adverted. It was an expe rience of three years, on which those great changes were decided by a Minister and passed by a Parliament. Three years have elapsed since those change s, and more; and I accept that test of time which was fixed by the counsellors of our Legislature, and I ask the country now to decide upon those measures by the fruits which they have produe A.—(Cheers.) I remember, when op position was made to the abrogation of the ancient agricultural policy of England, we were met with this question by a Right Hon. Gentleman, a Cabinet Mini ster—and, I am ashamed to say, still a county Member — tie used to say, when we attempted to defend the inte rests of national industry against the competition of foreigners as respects agriculture.' produce, he said, I wish those gentlemen who are so alarmed would tell us where the corn is to come from?—(Dear, hear.) Now, I believe that every one present knows where the corn is to come from—where it has come from, and where, unless it is stopped, it will continue to come from. — (Laughter and cheers.) I have alluded to this, not in the way of taunt to the individual, but to call your attention by this trait to the position which you now occupy. What was matter of theory is now a fact proved by severe demonstration, and whether what is called the Protectionist party, of which I am a humble member — whether they were right or wrong in the policy which they counselled the House of Commons and wished the country to adopt—whether they were right or wrong in this—one thing is quite clear, that every prediction which we made has been verified, and every prophecy which we uttered has been realised. We said that the measures would ho a fatal blow to the agricultural industry of the country—we opposed those who maintained that they would stimulate your industry and improve your for tunes. Now you are the best judges, from your expe rience, who was right on that occasion. It is acknow ledged by all—by men of all parties and of all opinions- - I may say by the leading men of all counties—that this is a critical period — a critica l e p och —for the agricul tural fortunes of England. That, then, has been, with out a doubt, the result of the late changes. That roeo is not increased prosperity, it is not even that,eddegu is comparative prosperity which you, once erin".versit one of unmitigated pressure and of menacmeg y, which even the boldest can scarcely presu teancoun ter.—(Cheers.) Well, then, the practical question d arises in these circumstances:W hat are we to o? That is the question of the day—it is the . question to which every man must address himself who wishes to influence the opinions of the day, an d i t i s because I thought I m i ght presume to offer you a few brief observations upon this subject that I came here to-day as your guest, to ask your counsel, and place you in the true knowledge of your position, and, I hesitate not to say, to induce you to combine to gether in order to improve and remedy it.—(Cheers.) I know from experience the great difficulty which any person who is your sincere supporter, and the advocate of your real interests, must encounter at the present day, if he wishes to suggest what he thinks may be for your advantage, but which may not be identical with that particular scheme of policy which has been re pealed to your detriment. It is the interest of your op ponents to describe such an individual as a person who has given up the opinions he once professed, if he do not. as the sole specific for your disquietude and suffer ing, rise and tell you that a recurrence to protection is the only means of relief. I fought as hard as I could—l fought as bard as most did—iu defence of those laws which have been repealed.—(Loud cheers.) I don't bate one inch of the opinions which on that occasion 1 expressed. I don't bate one inch of confidence in the facts which I then brought forward, of which time has since proved the accuracy. I don't bate one inch of my confidence in the truths of the arguments which I then brought forward. lam prepared at all times, and under all circumstances, to maintain and to advance those great principles of i industrial polity which the Protec tion party upheld n Parliament in the great struggle of 1846. But I find that various classes of the agri cultural body are suffering. I know that the present Parliament will not revert to the ancient policy, the repeal and the abrogation of which I opposed, and still deplore—l know that the present Parliament may exist for four years at least longer yet, and therefore I say I would not be your friend—l would not be, what I trust I am, both from sentiment and conviction, devoted to your interests, if I did not venture a suggestion, in the interim, which I think may ameliorate your position, and advance your fortunes.—(Loud cheers.) I say then, without giving up one iota of the principles which I have always advocated—l say it is wise and expedient, and most necessary in the present critical position of the agricultural body, that we should look about us and see whether there are not certain measures which we might advocate, and perhaps pass, that would have a beneficial influence on your prosperity. Allusion has been made by my friend Mr. Cox to a motion which I brought for ward last year. I called the attention of the House of Commons and of the country to the fact that the real property of England is subject to peculiar burdens and severe taxation, from which other property is exempt. I did not call attention to this subject, or suggest what I thought would be a remedy, under the idea that that would be any alleviation of a loss of Protectionist policy; but I said, you have deprived us of our rights—you have deprived us of ,that which both in policy and in justice you were bound to secure to us—and I must, in our present forlorn condition, look round me and see whether on your own premises and principles I cannot find some remedy for that condition to which your policy has brought us. I do not tell you, gentlemen, that if I succeed—and with your assistance I am confident I shall succeed—l do not tell you that that would be any com pensation for the laws which you have lost; but I ask you, as sensible and practical men, whether you would refuse to accept remedial measures because you have been deprived of advantages which you think superior to them? At the present day your opponents acknow ledge the difficulties in which you are placed. They offer you those remedies which have been alluded to with so much skill and graphic power by my friend Mr. Cox. You are the best judges of the validity and worth of those remedies. I confess I have no confidence in them; I confess I cannot take upon myself the responsibility of attempting to convince you that in such remedies you will find relief.—(Cheers.) I know nothing more easy than to tell the farmers of England that the sure way for them to cope with the difficulties which they may en counter is to have recourse to the commercial principle. But in the first place I don't quite clearly understand what the commercial principle is. I sat for forty days on a Committee of the House of Commons to inquire into the severe distress of the na tion in 1847. On that Committee there was a majority of free-traders—we differed on many points; tut there was one point on which we were all agreed, and that was, that the distress was caused on that occa sion by the over-speculation of commercial men.— (Chet rs.) Now, really, if the commercial principle is a principle of over-speculation, that is not a principle the application of which to agriculture would produce the benefit we all desire.— (Cheers.) Then we were all told, mixed up with the most sarcastic accounts of our crops and culture, we were told to look for the application of the commercial principle to the magnificent results ex emplified in railways; but it now turns . out that . the commercial principle, as s hown in those enterprises which were held up as mo dels of management, of energy, a nd skill, for the benefit of the: agricultural body— it turns out now that the commercial principle as applied to them :consists in the payment of dividends out of capital. I ask, is the commercial principle, as applied to land, to consist in the payment of rents out of capital? —(Cheers and laughter.) Well, then, finding these re sults, I am obliged to plod on in my own way, and till I can obtain for you that which, with my friend here, I believe you are entitled to, and which you can only obtain by energy and enterprise—energy and enterprise directed in a very different way and to a very different result from what the free-traders imagine—till that moment arrives, I must, so long as I hare the honour to sit in the House of Commons, representing the agricul tural interest, see if I cannot obtain an alleviation of your position in some degree—(Cheers)—and if, as I cannot help fancying, in pursuance of the policy which I shall venture to indicate, you not only obtain relief to a certain extent—but if, by the exercise of your enter prise and energy—for I want both as much as the free traders do—if you lay the foundation for that great re lief which you require—why then I think you will not be pursuing a policy which you ought to look upon with suspicion and distrust, and I have a right to call upon you to support me in it.(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, lam at the present moment for practical measures and for immediate exertions. I want the various claeses that form the great agricultural body—landlords, cultivators occupiers, and labourers—l want them all to join to- I gether within the few months that have to elapse before Parliament meets, to decide on the line of policy which they think ought to be pursued and prosecuted by the Legislatureof the country, and by their petitions. and by all constitutional methods and by their influence on their representatives, I wish that when Parliament meets Parliament should understand that the grand i agricultural interest of England comprehends its posi tion; and not only comprehends its position, but, to a certain degree, the remedies which that position requires. —(Hear.) Now, gentlemen, I will not dwell much on a subject upon which it has often been my lot to speak, both in the House of Commons and out of it. But it is necessary to repeat truth when truth is not acknowledged; and it is only by its repetition that you can get bodies of men to be convinced of the truth, and to act in a way that truth ceases to be theory and becomes fact. Now, I have men tioned over and over again this circumstance—an ano maly in the history of this country—that the real pro perty of this country, besides contributing to the general and imperial revenue of the State, has also to raise a revenue peculiar to itself. That real property, which, according to the last official rating does not count be yond one quarter of the general iccome of the country, but which, under no circumstances, can be placed sit higher than one-third, not only contributes its propor tion to the 50 millions or more which forms the general revenue, but is also called on to raise another revenue to the amount of 12 millions sterling, for purposes, although the taxation is local, of essentially a public character. —(llear, hear.) Gentlemen, I say that that great ano maly never should have been passed over and endured, had it not been for the existence of those laws which have been repealed with respect t o the cultivation of the land in England. Now let us try this case in a way that I believe I have not yet put it, but it is a very simple and a very striking one. Supposo that the real property, which is taxed to the amount of twelve millions a year for national purposes, ought to contribute to the amount of one-third—and if it were not that I always endeavour to avoid over colouring my case, I might fairly, for the argument, take i', at one quarter—but 1 t us take it at one-third; and this, gentlemen, may be wearisome, but I must dwell up ni it for a moment, because it is of the utmost ina• portatice that the matter should be clearly laid before you. Now suppose that this twelve millions a year paid by real property is reckoned for the whole period since the peace of thirty-three years ago, deducting the four millions per annum which the real property ought, in its fair proportion, to have contributed to the general in terests of the community, it will show that nearly three hundred millions more has been pail by real property than it ought to have done. Why, gentlemen, is it pos sible that real property, which has been held up almost to public scorn for its rapacity for the last few years, should have contributed, since the peace, to the general interests of the community nearly three hun dred millions, which, according to every principle of justice, it ought not to have been called on to contribute; —that this should be the property—the great proportion and most important proportion of which, namely, the land of England, has been held up to public indignation as the interest and property that has obtained such unfair advantages over the general body of the people?—.-clleanr, hear.) Why, that fact alone is a fair basis for petitio a n y i e f t Parliament for relief. The time has come: you have t _ is right to consider—as the owners of real proper y i this right whole n d e r country—not more than one:third, ne_thirlideofe any circumstances, approaching bli t ed to contribute twelve property of the country, retLirgjust proportion would millions a-year,. s w — h i el the time has " say come tthe al:rivedwhen only be four milho o n f real property is . entitled too Legislature and ask for some relief under these monstrous circumstances. __(hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I was reading the other day in some book about the earliest and greatest revolu tion in Trance; and I met with a story about a pick pocket Rho was caught in the fact. No sooner was he caught in the fact, than he t urne d round against his in tended victim, and said he was an aristocrat, got the mob round him, and the gentleman was hanged at a lamp-post. —(Laughter.) Now, that is exactly the position of the real property of England.—(Hear, hear, and renewed laughter.) For the last thirty-three years, since the peace—and I don't wish to go further back—l don't wish to push the painful investigation further than that—the real property of England has been pillaged and plundered to the amount of nine millions a year. And the moment that, tortured by the Legislature which has deprived you of the only circumstances that per- ale injustice, you longer afford it," ,stceracy, and you ..;nation.— (Cheer s.) that is the first measure that 1 counsel ,he land, the most important portion cf real property, and hitherto considered its representative—at any rate the most important portion of real property—that is the first measure that I counsel you to take. I counsel you to go to the Legislature and demand an equality of bnrdens; to petition that you shall no longer be called on to contribute twelve millions a year when you ought only to contribute three or four. That is a demand founded upon a principle of justice. I never yet met any human being who could for a moment impugn that principle. Much as the question was discussed when I had the honour of bringing it forward in the House of Commons, no one ever for a moment controverted the principle. Discussion, indeed, there was, end opposition on matters of detail, and many speeches were made about little minutiae, all of very second-rate character ; but no one came for ward and for a moment maintained that it was just that real pro perty, which in tact only produces one- third at most of the general income of the country, should bear the a hole burden of the expenditure upon objects in which the whole property of the country was interested. Now, I have recurred to this point, because it is a prscticat point—it is a point in which if you succeed in obtaining justice, you will succeed in obtaining some relief. But Ido not for a moment imagine—l have never for an in stant pretended—that auy equitable adjustment of the burdens peculiar to real property can remedy the fright ful position in w Lich you find yourselves, or the still more menacing position that is yawning beneath your feet.—(Hear.) It is necessary, gentlemen, to have re course to measures of a much more considerable and stringent character. If I told you that it is necessary that we should recur to protection, I dare say you would give me some noisy, and, per haps, very sincere chesrs ; I might sit down amidst your applause, and this evening, spent in this ancient castle, might long be remembered for convivial success and social congratulation ; but I want to know whether, when you came coolly to moralize upon it on the morrow, you might not say, What use was there in Mr. Dis raeli's coming into Essex? We are aware of his sym pathy with us; perhaps (you might say) we have con fidence in his good intentions." But in holding counsel together to-day we can resolve upon some course that may have the effect which we hope upon public opinion; which may change the principles of the Legislature; which may alter for the better the condition in which you find yourselves. And yet, after all, it might be just as well if I bad remained in Buckinghamshire.—(Vries of "No, no.") Now I shall endeavour to express to you, with the utmost brevity I can command, the course that I think you ought to adopt, and the means by which I think you may obtain relief, and by which not only 3ou may obtain relief, but save yourselves and the country. I shan't be frightened by that long cata logue of specifics which my friend Mr. Cox so graphically detailed.—(A laugh.) Gentlemen, it is not energy in the abstract, or enterprise in the abstract, that I am going to counsel to you to day. That which lam going to counsel to you is a step which, right or wrong —and it is my conviction that it is the right one—is at least a definite and a detailed step. Now we hear a great deal In the present day of the burden of taxation. It is the general subject: everybody suffers, and every body seeks relief from a projected diminution of the public burdens. We have been ruled on the principles of political economy more or less for a quarter of a century. We are subject, at this moment, to a taxation diminished almost every year. But the fruits of politi cal economy are these—that, with an increased popula tion, a diminished taxation is, we are told, insufferable. Now, when we come to the question of the diminution of taxation, I have always felt that the first point was to equalise the burdens; because if you diminish burdens that are not previously equalised you may only perpetuate an injustice. I will assume, therefore, gentlemen, that we shall succeed in our first move, which is founded in a pure principle of justice, namely, that real property shall only ply in future its'l own quota to the State, and that it shall not pay the quota of any other kind of pro perty. That, I think, is a proposition so clear, so pure, that I don't believe upon the merits of this case that we shall find anybody, in or out of Parliament to contro vert its truth. Then, gentlemen, we commence with the equality of burdens; and having obtained that equality, I proceed to inquire—What is the best way by which we may diminish the burdens of taxationT— what is best for the country generally, and what, at the same time, may be advantageous to the agricultural in terest?— (dear, Hear, hear.) Now, as far as the agricultural interest is concerned—and I am speaking of course of the landlord, the cultivator, the labourer, and all those trades dependent upon them—l speak of that great in terest in all its ramifications. As far as they are con cerned—and I ought, perhaps, to apologise for entering into this dry subject—(No, no)—but it is of the greatest importance that we should arrive at a clear understand ing of them, because cur clear understanding of them is to be the basis of future action—(lear, hear)—as far as the agricultural interest is concerned, no one will pre tend for a moment that the repeal of any particular tax can be accepted for an instant as a compensation fur the protection you have lost.—(Cheers.) Every man will agree with me in this position. In fact, gentlemen, there is only one tax which can be viewed as a tax peculiar to the landed interest in the most compre hensive sense of the term, and that is a tax which we are always counselled by our opponents to repeal, which by the way ought to make you suspicious of the counsel that is given you.—(Beer, hear.) But no man, whatever may be his opinions on the malt tax, will say—no man will rise and pretend in the present exigencies of England, that the repeal of the malt tax would rally the fortunes of the agricultural body.— (No! no!) Well, then, it is clear, that by the repeal of any peculiar tax pressing on the agricultural body, you can't obtain that vast and comprehensive remedial mea sure you require. Well, then, look to the other great interests—look to the commercial and to the manufac turing interests. What cause have they to complain of the pressure of taxation? Because we ought to consider in a meeting like this—a party meeting in a certain sense, because we are bound together by great principles of policy—(Cheers)—but not a party meeting in this sense—that we are met together to cheer delusions and clap-traps; because, gentlemen, we are assembled for business. Let us therefore quietly, candidly, and calmly view the positions with respect to the com plaint of excessive taxation upon the commercial and manufacturing body. Within a few years the manu facturing and commercial body have obtained the entire repeal of duties on all raw materials imported for re production. They obtained an enormous diminution of duty on all tropical articles that enter into general con sumption— (Hear, hear)—and the whole revenue of the Post-office has in fact been sacrificed to the commercial exchequer. Besides all this, they have obtained the ab rogation of our agricultural polity, by which, according to their own accounts—and I think it the greatest mis take in the world to overstate a case—the wisest thing in public discussion is to take the data of your oppo nents; and lam arguing on their data now. They have obtained then, according to their own account, by the re peal of the cores-laws not only vastly increased and highly profitable foreign markets, but they have obtained, in sheer economy by the altered provision laws, two millions sterling a week.—(A laugh, and no, no.) That is their own statement—the statement of a gen tleman high in economic office, and who was returned to Parliament by one of the greatest manufacturing cities in the world in consequence of his opinions—a gentleman whose evidence was the basis of our legisla tion, attd who, according to his own account, drew up the tariff for Sir R. Peel. With what colour, then, can the manufacturing body come forward and complain of the burden of taxation? Did not the manufac turers say, ten years ago, "Repeal the corn-laws, and then we shall beat the world." And not only that, but every other tax that pressed upon them, has been thus repealed. Ido not grudge it them; they are wel come to enjoy what they have got; but at least they should be the fast persons in the world to come forward and complain of the pressure of taxation. For, as my Lion. Friend Sir Juhn Tyrell justly told them in the House of Commons, with that Doric power that cha racterised him, " that they had helped themselves," and he did not think, therefore, that they had a right to com plain.—(A. laugh.) Well, gentlemen, that is the posi tion of the case; and it is of the utmost importance that you should clearly understand the state of the circum stances with respect to this question of taxation; for your future fortunes, and I believe the existence of the country—at least of that great country to which we are all proud to belong—at least of that Old England of which this building must remind every man—(Cheers) — depend upon your clearly comprehending this question of the day—the complaints of taxation. Because no thing is so easy as to raise a cry about the pressure of taxation; and nothing is more easy than to lead the far mers astray, and make them find out at last that they had only been playing the game of those whom I will not call your opponents, but your enemies, Because you must remember that the leader of the manufacturing —I may call them Radical—party in the House of Com mons, frankly said, that for his part ho believed it would be just as well for this country it not a single acre of it was. cultivated ; and, therefore, in a candid and honodr able manner, he put the case in a pro therefore, a war against your order, rtgaiessiyour_ per light. It is, o or f aenanm t t e N n d a tdy t c) pihs : ani • tud i n t dustry, tied you must understand it in that light. 1_ d What you have to be openly announce their purpose. _ afraid of is those who pretend tobe your riends.— Well, repeat that I want to place this t r its rue ight, for the whole upon it, I even am bold enough matter depends upon it. Once entertain a cletdconcep oeu remedy e own na h, is,an hands. it a A p n p d e a l r s w will tell my (Cheers. ) t.l° n e s o ti n i t;own mind, and I ti ust to orsiaiyn the your verdict to-night to settle it. If no tax will give a bona fide relief from its repeal to agriculture—if the manufacturing and rests have no claim whatever to ask for the repeal of any peculiar tax, because they have been legislating for the country for years, and according to their own theories making all their fortunes—why, then, it follows that whenever you meet the cry of the repeal of any par ticular tax, it is either the movement of some small speculative body, who attempt to stimulate some foreign market already drugged with our productions, or what is really the truth, and what is really at the bottom of all this cry—it is the effort of those who have ulterior designs, and under the mask of financial reform mean political change.—(Hear, hear.) Now let him remind you of this remarkable circumstance. For a good many years past the statesmen and the leading men of England —the leaders of parties and the men who influence pub lic opinion—have dealt with a real or with an imaginary surplus. Sir Robert Peel, then the powerful Minister of a great country, had a real surplus, and dealt with that. Mr. Cobden, a very iefluential individual, although not a minister, has an imaginary surplus greater than Sir Robert Peek's real one.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) But whether the surplus is real or imaginary, the way in which these gentlemen deal with their surplus equally indicates their policy. I do not care whether ay, Ls .nd bs, 10— gel, r. 13., y of .
