EVENING- SUN. GREENWICH ELECTION• The arrnination for the borough of Greenwich took place yes : orday at the hustings, which were e:cct;:d in tt:e uaual place op rAite the Mitre Tavern. . • At half_past ten the returning OfEcer, Thomas Fisher, Eel., came enward and read the proclamation and writ, and the Act against Bribery. Mr. Voweee came forward, and said he could not but express his regret that the duty had not devolved upon one better ce!cu kited to de justice to the important proceedings of the day. They were met together to exercise one of the tioelest privile.ges, on ce to of the dearest rights, which it wi s in the power of a free Sta:e confer upon its citizens—that of electing their own representatives to sit in the Great Council of the nation, to advise the Sovereign, to check and control the executive administration, and to watch over, protect, and preserve, the rights and interests, and the well being of the whole population of that mighty empire.—(Cheers.) The present was a very import ant eposh, and they were called upon to exercise their privileges under new and peculiar circum. stances. Her Majesty's Ministers had felt the necessity of endeavour ing to increase the revenue of the State, without adding to the burdens of the people. They hoped and believed, as he believed, riot whilst they increased the revenue, they would dimlnsh thebur. dens and add to the comforts of the great mass of the people. The great question they had, therefore, to decide upon, and upon which the Queen had appealed to her people was, whether they should continue the present system of monopoly for the benefit of a fa voured few, or °pets their pone to the free importation of corn at a moderate fixed duty, and to admit corn, sugar, timber, and other articles of general consumption, for the benefit of the people. He had no hesitation in declaring himself a strenuous supporter of the system of free trade, and it was on that ground he stood before them that day. A great deal of delusion and mystification exited upon the subject. Maud-bills had been put out to induce them to believe that the proposed alteration in the duty would only make a difference of id. a lb. in sugar. Why the reduction, which a m ou nted to 275. the cwt.. was 3d. per lb. to begin with.— ((sheers.) He saw they were impatient, and he would therefore propose as a representative to serve them in Parliament a gen_ tleman who had been the strenuous advocate of every liberal measure--a gentleman who was no stranger to them, but vitro had passed the greater part of his life amongst them. It WSJ unnecessary for him to expatiate upon the claims of Mr. Barnard—his advocacy of every liberal measure—his support of the national system of education—his desire to extend to all sects the benefits of civil and religious liberty—all qualified him pre-eminently to represent them in Parliament, and he doubted not they would return him by a large majority. He had the greatest pleasure in proposing to them Edward George Barnard, Esq.—(Tre menthe's cheering.) Mr. G. Smell had narrowly watched the votes given by Mr. Barnard, and his vote had been uniformly recorded in favour 01 ever y liberal and important measure brought forward in Parliament. He believed that no mare industrious or useful Member sat in that House, or one who discharged his duty in a more upright and inde pendent manner to his constituents. He had great pleasure, therefore, in seconding the nomination of Mr. Barnard. Sir THOMAS WILSON then briefly proposed Sir George Cockburn, but the uproar, whieh continued without intermission throughout the day, was at this period so great that it was impossible to catch a single sentence. Mr. ANORRSTEIN seconded the nomination. CHARLES HARWOOD, Esq., then came forward, amidst loud and long continued cheers, slightly mingled with hisses. He said he was going to propose as a fit and proper person to represent that borough in Parliament a gentleman whose name he need hardly mention—(Cheers) —Captain Deans Dundas.— (Deafening cheers, which continued for a long time, and before they had subsided a violent shower of rain suddenly came on.) Mr. Harwood said that he would content himself with proposing a gentleman who would fairly represent in Parliament the wishes of the -erectors, and who would always have at heart the interests of the borough—(Loud cheers)—and the interests of the public at large. It was of no use for them to send to Parliament men who would uphold a contracted and a one.sided party policy. He would call on them to obey and abide by the spirit of that constitu tion which was so much alluded to in the address of the Gallant Admiral (Cockburn).—(Cheers.) Captain FEAD, Ift.N., next advanced to the front of the hustings, amid deafening cheers and cries of " Cheap Bread," " No Mono poly, for ever." He said he be ged leave to second the nomination of his Hon. and Gallant Friend, Captain Deans Dundas.—(Cheers.) They could not have a more proper person to represent them in Parliament, than one who would vote against the Corn laws, and the Peor-law Bill. and such a man was Captain Dundas. He would conclude by hoping that they would return his Gallant Friend as their representative. Hr. BARNARD then came forward, and amidst great uproar said —Brother-Electors, will you deign to hear me ? If not, I must most unwillingly retire. I stand before you after nine years' ser vice, and for the fourth time I solicit the high honour of being chosen as one of your representatives in the Commons House of Parliament. I stand here prepared to answer any questions that you may put to me, though the record of my votes is already be, fore you, giving an explicit detail of my conduct in Parlia naent. Gentlemen, if my past conduct has met with your approval, I may with confidence ask you again to return me. Gentlemen, I told you nine years ago that I was a friend to reli gious freedom, and to freedom of all kinds; and I have, I trust, maintained those sentiments by voting for evry acts which as tended to promote it, by voting for the abolition lavery— h by reties( for the East India Bill—by voting for the Municipal Corpo ration Act—by V6ting for every act that gave freedom to the people.--(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Better! Acts could not have been proposed than those which have emanated from the present Government. Gentlemen, I never in my life asked an elector to give any one but myself a vote on this occasion, how. ever the whole borough, as you may perceive by the colours, has been in favour of the union which has taken plare. (The Hon. Gentleman here shook hands with Captain Dundas amidst loud cheers.) That union was effected to preserve the independence of the borough. It was posted through the town that two candidates of dldbrent sentiments would come forward to oppose us, and the selectors thought it right for us to unite. We have done so, and I Oust that we shall both be returned.—(Great cheering.) Gentle- Men, I know no reason why this borough should return two naval officers and no civilian, after having a civilian for nine years. I think my friends will say that I ought not to be left out—l trust that that will be the case.— (Vociferous cheering.) And now, Gentlemen, that you have a degree of patience I shall bring what I have to say to a conclusion. I will only add, that as I have always up to this time sup ported her laCtreesty's Government, I shall, if returned to Parlia ment, continue to do so. I shall eepport the measures which have been proposed by her Majesty's Government in order to prevent additional taxation, and in the belief that it is the only manner in which you can be relieved from any heavy burden. I shall not Intrude any longer upon your time, but conclude, in full confidence that the result will be the election of myself and my friend. Sir G. Coceverev said, the Hon. Gentleman who had just ad. ( *Toed them had told them that he had represented them for four sesdons in Parliament, but he came before them as a perfectly s l ew man, invited by a lar g e body of the electors of that rough. He had been so invited because he differed in opi nion from his two h onourable opponents. He had the highest respect for both these gentlemen. One of them he fiail known all his life as an honourable and excellent officer in his own protease:in, and with regard to the other he ?Aped to have the honour of his acquaintance, whatever might be the result of the eh ction. Having said that much, it only re mained for him to say, with respect to his political principles, they were entirely Conservative. He came before them as a man Anxious to preserve the constitution of the country in Church and ; s ta t e —as one who was entir el y and decidedly opposed Mae present Govern ment, which his opponents were determined to support. He was opposed to them, because he believed in his heart that the vacillating and weak conduct of the Ministry of the day had done great mischief to the ro honour an hat er Government ests of that cagainst oun try, When he looke d at the pmises of interfering in the concerns of foreign countries, and when he re. collected their position with the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Spa. rsish—their position in the Levant, in India, and lastly in China, in which the war had not yet terminated, lie telt that they were net any longer deserving of the confidence of the country ; and there. fore In conformity with the call of the electors lie had come thereto offs r himself to their notice, and if they thought proper to elect him— assure them that he (Peat cries of "We will") —he could only would do his best for his country's good, and for the interests of that borough. It was quite clear that lie would be elected with arse /if his opponents, and therefore they would have the edvantage of one member advocating different political principles in the House of Commons. His friends had not asked for two votes, .and If the Conservative electors were, as be elievml they were, full half the constituency, it was quite clear that lie should be returned, and he could assure them that which. ever of his Hon. Opponents he would have to deal with he would do so with the greatest pleasure and cordiality. Amidst the gi eat noise prevailing it was impossible for him to address them fui they, and tie trusted that the election would be carried on in the same honourable and good tempered manner in which it had commenced. A gentleman named WADS came forward, and said that he never had the pleasure of meeting Sir George Cockburn at any public assembly of the electors, and therefore he had not been afforded an opportunity of putting a few questions to bin. He wished to know whether Sir George Cockburn had not voted to prevent the 'enough, which he now called impel tent, from being enfranchised, or whether he had not voted against the _,,,„. t0r , be ing put in possession of the franchise which they now e ''''' - x.acised. He wished to know would the Right Hon. Gentleman vote for the Millet ? • No, no. S pa i r. G. w ADE _ve you vote for the tepee' of the Corn.laws C o ciovivi— r. Sir G. CootavitX--NO, no, Mr. Wears— Will you vote for sir G. Cocenuae—No, no. Wens—You did not hear my question. Sit G. Cocenuaer—Oh, I know - every question you will put to Me, and I say " No, no," to every one of them. — (Laughter.) Capt. Dexues next presented himself to the enthusiastic and clamourous assemblage, and was greeted with cheers loud and long continued. When order was somewhat b restored he said, though he h o ped to e first on the list to. be was Mat on the list to-day, morrow (Wednesday). In the present ( el i e r c . ti u o 3 n rn th a e r r d e ) w w as ho no alw m , l y s ; `take—they had a staunch worthy man voted fur Liberal measures, and a man (Sir J. Cockburn) who de trusted the Glared himself a thorough Conservative, and who a lwa y s voted lb; Conservative measures--and he (Captain Dundas) borough of Greenwich would not return two men of oprosite h po i titles. He was sure they had no hesitation in the choice w *hey ought to make. The great measures before the House of Commons lust previous to its dim Airtime to the nations of tion than this, whether they would open their trade 0 _ involved no other . ques. the world or not. If a Tory Government should come into thee, the gply result would be an increase of these taxes , and were -4 4ey prepared to abide by such a result ?—(No, no.) As to t h e ledlot, these were in the street in which they were then assemblnded eight or ten persons who were afraid to come up a Sete, and until the Vote by Ballot was adopted, such instances idlimidation would be perpetually occurring. He (Cap tain Dundas) would support no Government that would riot assist in carrying out the Reform Bill. His Hon. and Gallant Friend (Sir G. Cockburn) said—" No Poor-law Bill! "—but he (Captain Dundas) said that the Poor-law Bill required amendment e•ery much.—;Cheers.) Let it be remembered that in the interior of England there were a set of indefatigable workmen who were obliged to stop work because trade was leaving them, and until the Corn-laws ;were destroyed, those ruinous consequences would con. time and progress.—(Cheers.) He lived in an agricultural county, and all the property he had in the world was in land, and he should say that his firm conviction was that a excel duty was far ;setter both foe the farmer and manufacturer, than the iferestuating eliding Peel-scale : according to that scale it was in the power of any set of men to go into the market, and raise the price of corn to whatever price they chose. The sliding scale only furnished opportunities for trick caul finesse. He was then for a fixed duty, and he hoped that duty would be made atilt lower than Ss.—(Cheerse In the course of his canvass he was happy to have it to say that he Lad received the greatest possible kindness from all parties, and particularly four his Gallant Friend (Sir G, Cockburn.) He (Cap. twin Dundee) would say that a mere respectable constituency did not existthan that of Greenwich. Before he ceased let him recommend peace. The present election was begun in a gentlemanly manner, sued he trusted that feeling would continue to be exhibited to the end. rile hoped he would see them ail at the poll to-morrow (Wednes. 43y), He had no doubt as to the result of the election. What ever it trn4rht be, he would always esteem the men of that borough. —(Cheetle Mr. FISHER, the returning officer, then asked if there were any Miter candidates to be proposed, and, en being answered in the negative, put the names o f the proposed candidates to the meeting, stud declared that the show of lauds was In favour of Capt, Dundas sad Mr. Barnard. A Poll was th e ft th i demanded for Sir G. Cockburn, and Mr. Fisher o'clock in the raorinlit 71d open tomorrow (Wednesday), at eight The thanks of the meeting close at four o'clock in the afternoon. Barnard. v as seconded by were then, on the motion of Mr. and the vt assemblage y Captain Dundas, given to Mr. Fisher, Queen. ge animated , giving three cheers for the BOROUGH OF TAMWORTH. TAMWORTH, Mowna - v, Jura 28.—The nomination of cm• didates for the representation of this borough took place this morning at eleven o'clock. The three candidates were the Right Hon. Sir R. Peel and Captain A'Court in the Conser vative interest, and Captain Townshend in that of the Liberals. As to the return of the first of those gentlemen, of course there is not the least ground for doubt; nor, indeed, is there much as to the return of the second. But the Liberal party make very high pretensions, and, according to their own account are certain of bringing in their candidate. The morning presented a most inauspicious appearance, and torrents of rain descended intil near the hour of nomination ; but the skies then became clearer, and the business of the day was carried on without any further inconvenience on account of the weather. Mr. Ferrers represented Captain Townshend, who is on ser vice in the M e diterranean, and at about ten o'elock_too k his place on the htistings, attended by his Marty. The Committee of Captain A'Court soon afterwards escorted that gallant offi cer to the hustings, and not many minutes had elapsed before Sir R. Peel, accompanied by his eldest son, and attended by a numerous body of horsemen and gentlemen on foot, entered the town. and proceeded to take his station also on the hustings. The precept fur holding the election having been read by the E SUN LONDON, WEDNESD VS% JUNE 3O 1841. . _ Town-clerk, Mr. Tvi.EcoTE begged to propose the Right Hon. Baronet Sir Robert Peel as a fit and proper person to represent this Borough in Parliament.-4 Tremendous cheering.) Mr. Romesoe seconded the nomination. Major BAMFORD proposed Captain A'Court as a fit and pro per person to be their representative in Parliament.—(Cheers. ) Mr. Seoeits seconded the nomination. Mr. INGLE proposed Captain Townshend as a fit person to be their representative in Parliament. Mr. Kele Wr came forward to second the nomination of the Liberal candidate, Captain Townshend —(Cheers and groans.) Sir R. PEEL, who was loudly cheered on coming forward, said—" Gentlemen, this is the sixth time on which I have asked you to commit to me the important trust of representing you in Parliament."—(A person in the crowd here called out, " You never have attended to the trust which has been re posed in you.") The Right Hon. Gentleman, however, con tinued, " Mr. Knight, in seconding the gallant officer who has come forward as a candidate on the opposite interest (Captain Townshend), has drawn a contrast between my position in seeking the suffrages of the electors of Tamworth and the posi tion of my great political opponent, Lord John Russell, who is seeking the voice of the city of London. lam not ashamed of that contrast.—(Cheers.) I might, if I had thought fit, have been seeking the suffrages of the city of Westminster, but I preferred returning to my old friends and constituents. I feel conscious too that I have with zeal and industry per formed the duty which you assigned to me.—(Cheers.) I have not permitted any tempt: tion of pleasure or indolence to interfere with my public duty—that, at least, my political op ponents will admit. Whatever delight 1 might have felt in this neighbourhood, and in iesiding among you, I have willingly foregone, to perform the trust which you committed to me.— ( Cheers.) I have had the honour of representing you since 1830, and there has never been in the annals of this country a more important and mere eventful period than that which has elapsed since 1830. It was just at the period that you elected me that those events took place in France, which exhibited to Europe physical force triumphant over the constituted authori ties of the country, which led a second time to a great revolution in France, and expelled from the throne of that country, for the second time, the elder branch of the house of Bour bon. Those events in France made a deep impression through out the whole of Europe, convulsed the public mind—in some countries led to revolution, and there were some which escaped from the influence of those great events. This great country was not exempt from that influence—there arose here a desire for change in the ancient institutions of the country . and the consequence was, a fundamental change in the Commons' House of Parliament. 1 then foresaw that that change was ac companied with a restless desire for further change. I then foresaw, I say, the importance of laying the foundations of a great Conservative party—( Loud cheers)—attached to the an cient fundamental institutions of the country, not disposed to resist such changes as the altered circumstances of society might require, but a party determined to maintain on their ancient foundations the institutions in church and state.— (Tremendous cheering.) In order to form that party, it was necessary to widen the foundations on which it should stand ; it was necessary to call to our aid men from whom we had been separated in consequence of different party considera tions, and by differences upon principles, the causes of which bed ceased to exist. My object in public life was not so much to gain a position of political power—that is, of official power— but the object at which I laboured was to build up that great party which has been gradually acquiring strength—( Cheers) —which has been gradually widening its foundations—which has drawn its support from time to time from those who were our opponents—which began with numbers scarcely exceed ing 100, but which now presents in firm united ranks, and did present, a body of 300 Members of Parliament—(Cheers) —a body not so strong in its numbers as it is strong in the confidence of the eountry.—(Continued cheers and cries if " No, no.") It may perhaps not enjoy your confidence (said the Right Hon. Baronet, turning towards the person who had cried " No") —I see two er three boys and girls who deny my proposition—( Great laughter)—but still I say the Conservative party has the confidence of the great proportion of intelligence and respectability of the country.—(Cheers and confusion.) And, gentlemen, that party has been pleased to intrust your representative with its confidence; and with respect to all the rumours of difference of opinion and jealousies, depend upon it they are altogether without foundation—(Tremendous cheers) —and that party which has paid me the compliment of taking my advice and my counsels is an united and compact party, in which no difference of principle prevails as to the course which we ought to pursue.—( Cheers.) I hope I have not abused the confidence which that great party has committed to my hands.—(Cries of " No.") I have not sought in Par liament to obstruct the course of the Government by factious opposition.—(Cheers.) I have never entered into an unna tural combination with men of extreme opinions.—(Hear.) I have never courted popular favour by giving popular votes against my conviction. I have never sought to influence the public mind, by exaggerating the grievances and distresses under which the people must occasionally suffer.—(Hear.) I have never refused to bear my fair share of the unpo pularity of measures which the Government in their sense of duty thought proper to bring forward.—(,Cheers.) Many and many a time have I rescued the Government from difficulties with which they were beset, while 1 thought they were pur suing a course which was conducive to the public welfare.— ( Cheers.) I have professed moderate opinions in politics. With respect to the Tithe Commutation Act, for instance, a measure which has conferred a great advantage on the agricul tural interests and also on the Church, I was the first person who called the serious attention of Parliament to that question. Have I sought to fortify my power by encouraging religious animosities ? I have not. At the time when the part 1 took for the re moval of the Roman Catholic disabilities was loudly complained of, did I come forward in Parliament to say that I repented of the course which I had taken, or that I would lend myself to a repeal of that measure ? No. I declared, that so far from repenting, my motives in bringing it forward were honourable and pure, and nothing should induce me to recall from the Roman Catholics the privileges which that measure had con ferred. With respect, too, to the grievances of the Dissenters, and more especially the ceremonies of baptism and marriage, while in office in 183.5, I attempted to redress them, and should have succeeded if I had been permitted to retain power at that time. The opinions which I have professed, and to which I ad here, and upon which I will act, whether in opposition or power, are moderate opinions—(Hear)—and they are opinions in conformity with the prevailing good sense, moderation, and intelligence of the people of England.—( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) The organs of the Government will not allow me to speak for myself, but they impute to me every doctrine (and occasionally impracticable and extravagant doctrines are expressed), which they seize hold of from speeches and addesses, and call them the manifestoes of Sir R. Peel.—( Laughter.) Now, suppose I took the same course with respect to my political opponents; I find that Lord C. Russell, brother of Lord J. Russell, who brought forward these measures of the duties on foreign sugar and corn—l find him, I say, when addressing the electors of the county of Bedford, telling them that an alteration of the corn duties would be ruinous to their interests.—(Tremendous cheers.) Lord Charles Russell, the brother of Lord John Russell, ad dressing the electors of Bedford, tells them that the substitu tion of a fixed duty for a graduated scale will ruin the agricul. turist, and will throw 2,000,000 of acres of land out of cul tivation.—(llear, hear.) Lord Charles Russell has a perfect right to maintain his opinion, and could anything be more discreditabl e than for me to charge him with duplicity be cause he maintains one set of opinions, while his brother, Lord John Russell, is perfectly opposed to bun in maintain ing ano her ?—( Hear, hear.) I give Lord John Russell full credit for the sincerity of his opinions, and do not wish to make him answerable for the opinions of any of his relatives. But then I ask for the same mea'ure of justice for myself. I will now discuss the question of the duty on foreign sugar. In the course of the last session of Parliament a proposal was made to reduce the duty, and then to allow the introduction of foreign sugar into the markets of this country. I offered to that proposal my opposition, and upon these grounds :—I did not oppose it on the ground that it was unwise to remove, where yen can, restrictions on commerce. ' But 1 considered the article of sugar exempt from the application of the prin ciples of free trade. Mr. Knight has declared his abhorrence of the iniquitous traffic in human blood, and said the country acquired great glory by making an enormous sacrifice for the suppression of slavery. In those sentiments I concur, and after having made this enormous sacrifice, ought we to run the risk of impairing the good we have done, and lessening the character we enjoy, by letting into the markets of this coun try sugar ehe produce of slave labour? Mr. Knight justly said, that you must not exclude altogether the produce of slave labour. He says that cotton, coffee, and tobacco are the pro duce of slave labour, and that we take all those articles, and therefore we cannot maintain the principle that the produce only of free labour shall be admitted. That observation is just. You cannot, without endangering our manufacturing pros perity, reject the cotton of the United States. But there is a peculiar distinction between sugar and the other articles to which I have referred. Foreign surr never has been ad mitted into the consumption of this country, and the question is, whether or not there will be a sufficient supply of sugar of life. and which shall from our own dependencies and the p roduceof labour to give you that article, which 1 admit to be almost a necessary of Of all articles of colonial — ill enable the working classes to obtain it in sufficient abundance ._(Hear, hear.) That is the question. far the most unwholesome • produce, the cultivation of sugar is by and the labour on the sugar-cane pressure of necessity, which y sTot rinS is the most severe. lam Onl language we have held with us r i e u speetto slav ery wh ethe and there nd the is s that a v e _ induce us now, after the encouraging ti that system and trade, which would justify that traffic, by admitting, for the first e_ j ie t i a t reig u n sugar into the consumption of this country. statistic: details hear.) Sir Robert Peel here went into a variety of re specting the nature and extent of the sugar trade. cow e now to a still more im p ortant article, the article o f corn —( 1 cannot consen t to substitute a fixed dut y o f Ss. peroluaarrt. ) er for the presen t ascending and descending scale,—_(Cheers.) • s eers. j pr efer the principle of the ascendin g and descend i n g scale, and I do not consid er, when I look to the burdens which land in, t his country is subje cted to, that a fixed.dut y of Bs. per quar ter on corn brought here from Poland, and the north of Eu rope, will afford a sufficient protece ion to the land of this coun try. —( Hear, hear.) 'fhe duty of Bs. per quarter is proposed as a fixed and invariable duty. Now I foresee, that If you apply that duty, this will be the consequence—you will have an abund ance of foreign corn introduced just at the time you do not a famine price, then want it, when your own produce is most plentiful. But when arrives —when d i tty of Bs, per quarter. a it t w im il e l l o ie f s im ca p r e ci s t s y ib a i rr e I hold in my hand a pamphlet written in favour oft his proposed alteration of the existing Corn-law, by one of the most able and most intelligeet aelvocates for a fixed duty. It is written is to prove the advantage of the by Mr. 514Culloch, the author . of the Dictionary of Commerce. 'I he object of the panyilet substitution of a fixes duty on corn ; but Mr. 14•Culloch, by which, in manufac writing fairly and impartially, and n ot lending his aid to t dissemination of those gros s delusionshe . he price the e admissions with resp ect to ag riculture luring districts, public i ndi g nation has been excited, makes er. It of wheat in England , at a n average of the ten years ending s with 1820, was no less than 86s. 3d. a average price has singe been reduced to 565. Ild . (say 573.) a quarter, and notwithstanding this tremendous fall a most extraordinary improvement has takenown piece in agriculture since 1820, s o much so that we pro vide for 7,000,000, not only without any increase, hut with a very considerable diminution of importation. Gentlemen, these are important facts. The price gf wheat has been re duced under the operation of th e p r e sent Cora-laws from e? 6,, per quarter to 575. ; and yet, notwithstanding this reduction of price, agriculture has improved, and there has been derived from the !and of this country an additional supply of corn for e 7,000,000 of our population. This is a great advantage to have • realised. —(Cheers.) It is said that the state of manufactures and commerce is so distressed, that it becomes absolutely ne cessary to make a change in the Corn-laws for the purpose o: reviving manufacturing prosperity. No man feels ade •per interest than I do in the prosperity of the manufactures and commerce of this country. Is it possible that 1 can forget that they are the origin of my own prosperity? Is it pos sible that I can forget that it is to the manufacturing industry that I owe al that Ppossess ? Is it possible for me to reflect on these things without feeling the liveliest interest in all that concerns the manufactures and trade of this country ? (Hear, hear.) I should be acting a most ungrateful and un natural part if I were not animated by such a sentiment. Ido not deny the distress—l feel the greatest regret at it ; but Tam not so despondent as some are on the subject. Now, let us consider the important question how far the dis tress of the manufacturing and commercial interests can be at tributed to the operation of the Corn-laws." [The Right Hon. Baronet here entered into several details to show that the pre sent Corn-laws were not the cause of the present commercial distress.] ." I said before that Ido not deny the existence of distress, but I do hope that the pressure is temporary. Ido hope that the great vital principle of our manufacturing pros perity is not affected.—( Hear, hear.) I do see causes in differ ent parts of the world—causes operating in thisEcountry— %shy there should be severe manufacturing and commercial dis tress—causes quite independent of the operation of the Corn laws. I very much fear that there has been, particularly in the north of England, an undue stimulus given to manufactured productions by capital of a fictitious nature. Ido fear that the Joint-Stock Banks in Lancashire and Yorkshire have extended their accommodations too rapidly in many cases, and it is the connexion between the manufacturer, the builder of cotton manufactories, and the Joint-Stock banker, that has led to an undue stimulus for manufactured productions. Now let us turn our attention to the northern world, and in that great and important quarter of the globe, one of the best consumers of our manufactured produce, let us direct our eyes to the United States, a country . with which I trust we shall long continue to maintain the intimate relations of peaceful and friendly intercourse.—( Hear, hear.) I do hope that neither this country nor the United States will be mad enough to allow a difference about a boundary to set them in a hostile position towards each other. The United States are labouring under severe commercial distress. The same system of fictiti ous credit has been pursued there as here. The issue of paper and the multiplicity of banks have led to severe commercial distress in that country. Numerous failures have occurred, in dustry has been paralysed, and the demand for the manufactured articles of England in the United States has, in consequence, , become less.—( Hear.) Next, look at the state of the Canadas. I trust that peace is restored there; but there could not be civil war in that country, and parties ranged against each other, without interrupting the course of regular industry, and affecting the demand for the manufactures of England. —(Hear, hear.) I now come to Europe. Look at the Penin sula—look at the state of Spain and Portugal. They, too, have been convulsed of late by intestine disorders. Parties have been ranged there in civil conflict, and it is im possible that such a state of things can exist in different coun tries, without the demand for our manufactures being in some degree thereby affected. Let us next turn our eyes to the Me. diterranean, and to the coast of Syria. There hostile opera tions have been conducted with great glory to the British arms, but still they must have affected the peaceful occupations of in dustry. With regard to Egypt, the attention of that coun try, too, had been diverted to war. Let us extend our views to China. Our peaceful relations with China have been in terrupted, and of course the demand for British manufactures in some ,degree affected. Look at the state of Europe. Instead of the countries devoting their means to the multipli cation of capital or the purposes of useful industry, all liave been seen engaged in levying great armies. These things cannot take place without discouraging industry.—( Hear, hear.) Put them altogether; do not consider them separately. Is it not probable that the combined operation of these causes may be sufficient to account for that manufacturing debi lity, and that depreciation of manufacturing industry, which at present exists ?—( Hear, hear)—and we are therefore, called on to make the proposed alteration in the Corn-laws of this country, and to substitute a fixed duty for the graduated scale ?—( Hear, hear.) It is by a careful consideration of those causes that I have come to the conclusion that we are not so called on. Now, I hope I have re deemed my promise, and stated to you respectfully and fully the grounds on which I have come to my con clusion with respect both to the duties on sugar and the duties on corn. It is mainly in consequence of these proposals that her Majesty's Government have appealed to the people of this country. The numbers of their supporters have been gra dually falling away, and they have been unable to give effect to measures which they thought essential for the interests of the country. It was unadvisable, in my opinion, that this Go vernment should continue in power, not possessing the confi dence of the House of Commons. I came forward and submit ted that question to the test in the House of Commons, and the house of Commons, by a small majority no doubt, but still by a majority of one, declared that the Government had not its confidence. It is now for the people of this country to de termine whether they concur in opinion with the majority of the last Parliament, and whether they will give to the members of the present Administration that confidence which was withheld from it by the House of Commons. Now, give me leave to tell you the reason why I think the pro posal of these measures with regard to sugar and corn have not served fo conciliate respect for the Government which brought them forward. Ido believe that there is throughout the country a very strong impression that those measures were not proposed by the Goveinment on a deliberate conviction of their own merits, but that they were somewhat suddenly re sorted to, in consequence of political emergencies, for the pur pose of conciliating public favour.--( Cheers. ) I said this in the House of Commons, and I was then assured by Lord J. Russell that such was not the case; and I said at once, when I received that assurance from a gentleman of such high autho rity and station, that I was bound to place confidence in it. Still, I could not help feeling that the circumstances were somewhat unfortunate, and were calculated to countenance the delusion, that they were brought forward upon a sudden, and as a set-off for political difficulties.—.:(Loud applause.) It ap pears that this is not the case ; that the measures were ma turely considered. Then I say. it is most unfortunate that some notice was not given at an early period of the Session, even when the Queen delivered the speech from the Throne, that such important questions would be brought under the consideration of Parliament."—( Applause. ) After a variety of other remarks of no great public interest, the Right Hon. Baronet concluded amidst cheers. A show of hands was then taken, and was in favour of Sir R. Peel and Captain A'Court. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FRO3I THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel's speech at Tamworth is, as casual, in great part composed of compliments to his own consistency, at the implied expense of his opponents, and compliments to his own moderation, at the implied ex pense of his supporters. There is also the never-failing in gredient—a citation from a Free Trade pamphlet, for the purpose of establishing his case out of the mouths of his adversaries. We have no objection to all this ; but all this has little interest for the public. The public cares very little whether the immaculate leader of the Tory party, having made some faux pas, in point of consist ency, in his earlier career, has succeeded subsequently in building up for himself a first-rate prudish reputation for that quality. The public cares very little for that; and we doubt even if the Tamworth constituency, for whom Sir Robert Peel expresses such prodigious deference, cares much more for it. At all events, it is certain that the Right Honourable Baronet, if he could find nothing better to say to the people of Westminster, wisely avoided addressing himself to them. We take it that prudence had quite as much to do as preference for his Tamworth auditory in deciding him to stick to the latter. Illa se jactet in (Lula. We shall confine our attention entirely to the bearing of this speech on public interests. It is the treatment of those inter ests, and not of himself or of his opponents, that can alone concern the public at a time like the present, when a statesman addresses them, who puts forward pretensions to conduct their affairs. What have the public to hope then from Sir R. Peel's way of speaking ? In the first place, something from the tone of discouragement which seems to pervade it. This is not the tone of a " conquering hero," but of " a good man struggling with distress." Sir R. Peel struggles so cleverly, that it would indeed be a thousand pities the electors should not supply him with sufficient distress to go on struggling with. Sir Ro bert Peel appears to anticipate that, in the next Par liament, as in the last, he shall continue to afford " a spectacle worthy of the gods" in opposition. Sir R. Peel repeats the pleadings for the West India in terest, founded on the " great experiment" of tran sition to freedom from slavery. Now we conceive that the real blow was struck at the productive power of our West India colonies—not when slavery was abo lished, but many years before, when the slave• trade was abolished. From that period it was certain to those whose eyes were not blinded by enthusiasm, that the de ficiency of labour, unless extraordinary means were used to supply it, must be felt, both in our older colonies (which already competed at a disadvantage with the fer tile soils of our own and foreign possessions recently brought under sugar culture), and in such of our own dependencies, as the Mauritius, Trinidad, and British Guiana, which have yet soils of virgin and unexhausted fertility. Emancipation hastened, but only hastened, the crisis which the abolition of the slave trade inevitably produced in both these classes of colonies. - COURIER.—So far, despite the brickbafs'andeblud geons of the Irish allies of the Ministry every where, the elections and returns are proceeding prosperously for the good cause, as. our summaries of electioneer ing intelligence in town and country will show. Al though, in order to render that intelligence as complete as possible, and bring it down to the latest hour in such successive editions as our expresses from all parts may enable us to do, we must con tent ourselves with the smallest possible space in this department of the paper, yet there are certain salient points of the contest now raging around us, almost within hearing, as well as at greater distances, which it would ill become us to leave unnoticed. The result will form the memorabilia of the day for reference hereafter. And first as to the city election. Among the despicable expedients to which the Whig- Radical candidates, or their Committee, or both have had recourse to retrieve a desperate cause, it may be mentioned as a fact currently asserted in respectable quarters, that the " spiriting away " of voters has been and is, carrying on upon almost a gigantic scale. The unprincipled scheme is thus managed. Large numbers of the more humble class of electors whose votes were pledged to the Conservative candidates, which they could not and would not be induced by bribes lavishly proffered to violate so far as to register for the four " mischievous demagogues," as Lord John Russell has termed the representatives of popular con stituencies, have nevertheless been prevailed upon, through artful manceuvering with their wives and families, to be led astray on pleasant parties of plea sure down the river, to Greenwich, Woolwich, and Gravesend, in steamers, provided disinterestedly for the purpose by agents of the Whig-Radical Committee. These trusty and well-instructed parties of course take care that there shall be no lack of good cheer on board and on shore, and, above all, copious streams of such Lethe inspiring beverages as may be found never failing in the stores of patriot Coates at Whitechapel, and in such abundance, as shall lay them entranced in what Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd would moralizingly depict a state of " peace " and " happiness," so as to forward the cause of " truth," and above all of " justice," till past four o'clock. STANDARD.—The speech of Sir Robert Peel at Tamworth may be considered as a model of the class of eloquence to which it belongs ; that eloquence which consists in the expression in the simplest phraseology of the noblest and manliest sentiments that can animate the human heart. What a contrast does it present to the shallow shuffling sophistry which characterises the speeches of the leading Whigs, and more especially that of Lord John Russell, on similar occasions. Unlike his wily and tortuous opponents, Sir Robert has left no part of his policy unexplained or unjustified, and so complete is his exposure of the fraudulent pretences of the late budget that a greater service could not be',ren dered to the Conservative cause at the present moment than the widest diffusion of his address to his consti tuency among the people of England. Unlike Lord Russell, who has been driven from pillar to post — from Tavistock to Devonshire, from Devonshire to Stroud, and from Stroud to London, Sir Robert Peel has had no occasion to flee from his post, and solicit the suffrages of strange constituencies. He has been content to depend for his seat in Parliament on his neighbours—those who have had the amplest means of estimating his character. The Whigs appear to be influenced by the converse of this rule. Nothing would be more fatal to their. success than an ap peal to the sympathy of those who have had the best opportunities of appreciating their con duct. Neither Devonshire, Tavistock, nor Stroud, will have Lord John Russell, and he is accord ingly compelled to throw himself on the mercy of the Whig Radicals of London, with what success the result of this day's contest will decide. Even Mr. Hume pre fers facing the imminent chance of defeat at Leeds to meet his " cannie friends" at Dundee, where he is better known than trusted. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

POLICE <INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A great deal of interest has been excited within thci last week by the partial exposure of a practice which the folloWing account fully explains, but which, until this day we could not with propriety lay before our readers. Mr. Clarkson, the Barrister, stated that he appeared upon the part of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, the piano-forte manufacturers, to complain of a very gross system of fraud practised upon them and the public, the particulars of which were accidentally discovered. The firm of Broadwood and Sons had been in the habit of attaching to the instruments of their manufacture labels, of which the following is a copy :—" John Broadwood and Sons, makers to their Majesties and the Princesses, Great Pulteney-street, Golden-square, London ;" and they exported a gfeat number to different parts of the world, where they had agents. Their Dublin agents were Messrs. APCulloch and Sons, who, on . or about the 2d of April last, received, a letter from Messrs. Hodgson and Co., of Bucklersbury of which the following was a copy ! " 41, Bucklersbury, London, March 31, 1841 " Gentlemen,—We write to inform you that your order in the patent porcelain letter is now ready, and we shall feel obliged by your informing us by what conveyance you would like to have them forwarded. "If you have no objection we can do so through our friends Messrs. Cramer, Addison, and Beale. We remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servants, " HODGSON and CO. " Messrs. M'Culloch and Co., music sellers, Dublin." Previously to the arrival a box arrived in Dublin, directed to "James M'Culloch, Esq., 22, Suffolk-street, Dublin. Strictly private." The circumstance created some sur prise in the mind of the Dublin agent, who, upon finding that the box contained eighteen enamelled plates, with an inscription almost the verbatim copy of the foregoing engraved on them, suspected that some frauds were in the course of being practised upon Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, and directed their solicitors to inquire into the matter. The result of the inquiry would be collected from the following extract of the solicitor's letter to Messrs. Broadwood and Sons :—" I made every exertion in my power to ascertain if any forgeries of your pianos were in Dublin, and have now ascertained beyond a shadow of doubt that your name is put on pianos made in Scotland, and sold here as your make. I can even go so far as to produce a working man who was employed by the house of to take out their labels and put yours in the place of them, and no later than last week twelve of these pianos were sent to Kilkenny and other places to be sold as yours. A thought has struck me that the eighteen labels were intended for , and by mistake directed to M'Culloch and Co. I think it would be advisable if you would communicate with Messrs. Collard and Collard, as they are also aware of something similar to the above, and they would be happy to assist in discovering the offenders." Upon inquiry, made by Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, in Lon don, one of the partners in the house of Hodgson and Co. came forward, and admitted that he was the writer of the letter signed "Hodgson and C 0.," but stated that he knew nothing of sending the box or its contents, and he willingly offered his assistance to discover the fraud, if any had 'been committed. The order, when executed, was to have been called for, and no application having been made for it Messrs. Hodgson and Co. wrote to Messrs. M'Culloch and Co., the above-mentioned letter to which an answer was transmitted, stating that there must be some mistake, as no such order had been given. Messrs. Hodgson and Co. subsequently, upon reference to the order-book, found that the order had been made in the name of one of John Power, by their clerk, and Sir Peter Laurie, to whom the public were so much in debted for the exposure of frauds, immediately upon being applied to gave directions that the several parties should appear before him. Mr. M'Culloch, of Dublin, correspondent of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, stated that he received the box containing the eighteen plates, which he had never ordered, and the letter from Messrs. Hodgson and Co. which he could not comprehend. His Solicitor called upon a man, to whom upon making inquiry he was referred, and who informed him that he had been em ployed by a certain firm to substitute the labels of Broadwood and Sons for those of that firm upon pianos not made by Messrs. Broadwood, and that twelve instru ments so translated had been sent to Kilkenny for sale. There was a slight difference between the labels of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons and the spurious labels, the latter bearing on the inscription " John Broadwood and Sons, makers to his Majesty and the Princesses," in stead of " Makers to their Majesties and the Princesses," as appeared in the old Jabels of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons. A partner in the house of Hodgson and Co. proved that the order for the patent porcelain letter was entered in the name of " John Power." Sir PETER LAURIE said it appeared to him that the system resembled that which existed with respect to cutlery, by which the names of eminent makers were substituted for those of wretched fellows, whose work was of no value, just as the name of " Manton" was placed upon guns and pistols of little or no value. Mr. Clarkson—Exactly so. Messrs. Broadwood and Sons will know how to deal with the persons by whom it has been ascertained the deception was authorised. Mr. John Power was then called by Mr. Clarkson. He wished to be informed by whom his expenses were to be paid before he gave his evidence, and was told that Messrs. Broadwood and Sons would pay the necessary expenses attending the investigation into so gross a case of fraud. The witness said that he lived at: No. 16, Lisle-street, and was a piano-fortetuner and regulator. He caused the labels in the box produced to be sent to Dublin, but not as directed. Sir P. LAURIE Who ordered them ? Witness—No one. I sent them to my brother, " James Power, care of James M'Culloch, Esq., 22, Suffolk street, Dublin," but I confided the address to others, and they made a mess of it by omitting the name of my bro ther, who is in Mr. M'Culloch's employment. Sir PETER LAURIE—How long have you been in the habit of sending these labels to your brother ? Witness —I never before sent any. Sit PETER LAURIE—Where did you get them ? Wit ness—l purchased them of a man named Coutts acci dentally. Sir PETER LAURlE—Accidentally ! No doubt by pure accident.—(A laugh.) Witness—lt was accidentally. Sir PETER LAURIE—You know that if Messrs. Broad wood sent instruments to Dublin, these instruments would have their labels upon them, and you know that these very labels which you sent to Dublin were to be put upon instruments, of which Messrs. Broadwood knew nothing. Witness—The fact is, we alter Messrs. Boadwood's pianofortes from CC to FF ; we modernize their old pianos. It is a secret of trade, and we touch up the in struments with new labels.—(A laugh.) There is no thing dishonest or disreputable in that. Sir PETER LAURIE—I should like to know the mean ing of the words " strictly private" on the box ? Mr. Clarkson—No doubt nothing was meant by that particular direction ? Mr. William Coutts stated that he had been in the habit of making labels similar to those produced, for Messrs. Broadwood and Sons. A Mr. Brown, who was an agent of Messrs. Broadwood and Sons, gave him an order to make some. Mr. Brown was in the habit of buying old instruments manufactured by Messrs. Broad wood and Sons, on which he put the labels to make them look new. Sir PETER LAURIE—Yes, like a translator of old into new shoes or boots. You call it translating ? The Wit ness—l call it renovating. Mr. Clarkson—l submit that, morally speaking, the practice which has been resorted to of placing the labels upon instruments not made by my clients, as must be palpable to all who have heard this case, is no less than the practice of forgery. Mr. Coutts—The labels are intended for none but Messrs. Broadwood and Son's own instruments, and no trick or dishonesty was at all contemplated. lam justi fied in renewing the labels on the firm's manufacture. Mr. Clarkson—As sure as you stand there you shall be indicted if you are found repeating this mode of pro ceeding. Mr. Coutts—l am not at all alarmed, as I am conscious of having done nothing wrong. Mr. Clarkson—Well, I give you warning, and I give you warning, too, Mr. Power. This is an illegal act.- There is no possible excuse or palliation. Mr. Power—You can bring an action if you please, but no felony has been committed. Mr. Clarkson said it was right to say that there was no proof against Mr. Coutts. Mr. M'Culloch was again called by Mr. Clarkson. He stated that Mr. Power's brother was in his service. Mr. John Murray, warehouseman to Messrs Broad wood and Sons, said, that Mr. Brown was no more an agent of Messrs. Broadwood and Co.'s than any other purchaser of their instruments. Mr. Brown, he was convinced, would not attempt to put the labels upon any instruments which were not of Messrs. Broadwood and Son's manufacture, and was in the habit of repairing the instruments of that firm. Mr. John Brown stated, that he was in the habit of scraping and cleaning the exterior of the instruments made by Messrs. Broadwood and Sons. He was not in the habit of using the labels made by Mr. Coutts, except when the original labels were defaced. He bought some labels one or two years ago of Mr. Coutts, who said he had been accustomed to supply Messrs. Broadwood and Sons with labels. Witness paid him a pound a hundred for the labels which he thought had been left remaining in Mr. Coutts's hands of the quantity made for Messrs. Broad wood and Sons. He understood the mechanism of the instruments made by that firm, and had frequently seen their name on instruments not made by them. Sir P. LAURIE—Now, do you not consider it a gross violation of honesty to put the name of eminent makers upon inferior instruments. Mr. Brown—Most certainly I do. I have seen very frequently piano-fortes in auc tion-rooms with the names of Broadwood and Sons on them, which pianofortes were not at all made or known by them. Sir P. LAURIE—Then you are willing to give up the labels you have ? Mr. Brown, with the greatest readi ness—l shall give them up to Messrs. Broadwood and Company. Sir PETER LAURIE—It is evident from what has taken place, that the appearance of Messrs. Broadwood and Co.'s name on a piano-forte is no proof that the in strument is genuine, and I would advise them to adopt some test less liable to imitation. I have no hesitation in saying that the most gross imposition has been prac tised on the firm and the public. Mr. Murray (Messrs. Broadwood's warehouseman) here declared that for one spurious label put upon a translated pianoforte of his employers, fifty spurious labels were put upon instruments never known to the firm. Mr. Clarkson.—Exactly so. If, then, any repetition of the fraud be made, a prosecution shall most unquestion ably be instituted. The parties then left the Justice-room. The sale of Malmaison is fixed for the 14th a August; half Paris will be there. BATH ELECTION. TUESDAY, 2 P.m.--The rioting continued during the whole of last evening and night. Several prisoners were made by the police ; but, as all parties are too much occupied at the polling-booths to-day, there will be no police examination, fbelieve, until to-morrow. A lady informed me, that as she passed near the Abbey last evening, she saw a man distributing several large sticks or bludgeons to several persons who were intoxicated. Crowds hooted at, and in several instances struck indivi duals who exhibited the colours, particularly of the Blue party. Whether the latter retaliated, or committed si milar offences against the public tranquillity, for the reasons given above, I am at present unable to state. This morning drums and bands, of what the crowd called music, aroused the voters from slumber, and both parties were " stirring with the lark." Shortly before eleven the poll was posted at Duncan and Roebuck's Committee-room, in Alelsom-street, as follows : Roebuck 650 Duncan Powerscourt Bruges The accuracy of this statement was loudly denied by the Conservatives. There would have been very serious conflicts in the streets and booths, but that the sky be came overcast, the thunder rolled, the lightning flashed vividly, and down came hail in large particles, followed by teeming heavy showers of rain. The electors were half drowned, and fled tin• shelter in every direction. CONSERVATIVE POLL. The following was posted a little after eleven. The Conservatives give hourly, the Liberals half-hourly re turns. The former enumerated : Powerscourt. 758 Bruges Duncan Roebuck 973 At twelve the Liberal party thus declared the state of the poll : Lord Duncan 938 Roebuck 937 Powerscourt Bruges 723 At the last contest the Liberal party had .nct at nocn polled within 200 of their present numbers. The Conser vatives are still full of hope, asserting that their opponents are exhausting all their forces, and adding, " After two, we shall beat them." The rain pours down in torrents, stillhnuch impeding the election. At noon the Conserva tives claimed — For Powerscourt Bruges Duncan Roebuck 1,017 At one the Liberals claimed — For Duncan Roebuck Powerscourt . Bruges 997 980 791 786 BRISTOL. TUZSDAY.-At the Liberal Rooms at half-past ten to-day, they claimed 167 majority for Berkeley. At half-past one to-day the Conservatives claimed a majority of 237 for their two candidates. NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. DEFEAT OF MR. WALTER. HIS CLAP-TRAP, AND THE TORIES.—RETURN OF SIR JOHN CAM lIOBIIOUSE AND MR. LARPENT FOR NOTTINGHAM. TuEsDay.—This has been a grand day. The rene gade Walter has fled the field without offering the shadow of a fight at the poll-booths. The Liberals were determined to gain the upper hand, and took possession of the polling-booths at five o'clock in the morning, where they maintained their stand. At a quarter past eight o'clock, just after the poll closed, Mr. Walter and Mr. Charlton resigned the contest, leaving it to Sir John and Mr. Larpent. But the voters would not bel4kon by a Tory trick to leave their plaoes. They kept on polling till a quarter past nine, and then the numbers stood thus, the poll being closed : Larpent Sir J. llobhonse Mr. Walter Mr. Charlton 142 The Tories were never more beaten since they were a party ; they led all their supporters to believe that the election was safe for them, How their predictions were verified has been shovtn. They look more blue than their own colours. . Mr. Walter has gone to Leicester to be put up there. He has no chance. Poor fellow ! the Tories have 'cut him up dreadfully in the cash line, The chairing takes place to-morrow, and is expected to be a vory grand one. GUILDFORD ELECTION. The nomination took placer rday, when Mr. Baring Wall made an excellent speech in favour of the Government mea sures. There are four candidates for the borough ; and on a show of hands being taken, the returning officer decided in fa vour of Messrs. B. Wall and Mangles. A poll was demanded on the part of Colonel Scarlett and Mr, Currie, which will commence this day. DIVIDENDS. At the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street. M.

AN APPEAL TO TRADESMEN IN TOWN AND COUNTRY. A person who calls himself a Landon Tradesman, has published an Appeal to the Tradesmen in Town and Country, on the Corn-laws, in which he assumes as the basis of his fallacious arguments that every quarter of wheat imported from abroad would drive a quarter of English-grown wheat out of the market. He supposes that if a million of quarters of wheat be im ported for the use of the manufacturers, that would de prive the English farmers of their custom to the extent of 3,000,0001. Our home-trade, he positively asserts, would be at once reduced to that amount. This is al together a false assumption, and only proves the thorough ignorance, or the bad faith, of the man who makes it. The fact is, that the manufacturers can consume a grertt dial more than the farmers can supply them with. They do not prefer to deal with either a Pole or a Prussian, to dealing with an English farmer ; but after they have purchased of the English farmer everything he has to sell at a reasonable and just price, they would also buy of the Pole and the Prussian. They would not deal with them instead of dealing with the English farmer, but they would deal with both. The consequence, therefore, of importing foreign wheat would be that the manufacturers would have more bread and would sell more cloth, but our farmers would not sell a sheaf of corn less. _ _ The farmer really exchanges his corn for cloth, and there would be plenq- of it to give for his corn, for our cloth-making power is nearly illimitable, though the manufacturers were also allowed to exchange that cloth which the English farmer cannot buy, for Polish or American wheat. A decisive proof of this assertion is to be found in the fact that we have imported during the last three years more than four millions of quarters of wheat, and no farmer complains that this im portation has compelled him to keep his corn on hand. The Tradesman assumes that the home trade would be reduced by the extent of corn imported. Is that con sonant to experience ? The more corn, wine, oil, cloth there is in the land the more there is to exchange, and the greater must be the amount of traffic, as well as the opulence of all. The assertion that an addition to our stock of food would lessen trade seems to us one of those wilful mistatements which deserve no notice or answer, and we are only surprised to learn that some men should believe it. The tradesmen of London need not fear any falling off in their trade by the abolition of the Corn-laws. They know very well that the principal medium of ex change is paper, which is neither eatable nor drinkable, and is only valuable because with it they can buy food, clothing, furniture, books, &c. Supposing there is an in crease of commodities by allowing corn to be imported, there will be more to exchange ; and the tradesmen of London will get more for their share, whether it be by landlords' cheeks, or any other paper money. They know very well that many of their best customers are opulent manufacturers, and persons from the manu facturing districts, and they must be aware that what ever adds to the opulence of those districts increases the trade of London. It has grown to such a height, not in consequence of the increased rent of land, but in conse quence of the °Teat increase of useful commodities, and of wealth caused by the extension of our manufactures and commerce. We have for some time had this pamphlet in our possession, but its statements appear to us so puerile, that they are not worthy of notice. Nor should we now have wasted a word on them, were we not informed that there are some electors in Marylebone who have adopted the notion that to add to the wealth of the country by importing an abundance of commodities to trade with, will lessen the home trade. SUPPLY OF WATER IN LONDON.—It was not until 1582 that any great mechanical power or skill was applied in providing London with water ; but in that year Peter Morris, a Dutchman, made " a most artificial forcier," by which water was conveyed into the houses. On the Lord Mayor and Aldermen,going. to view the works in operation, Morris, to show the efficiency of his machine, caused the water to be thrown over St. Magnus' church. The City granted him a lease for the use of the Thames water and one of the arches of London bridge for five hundred , years ; and two years afterwards he obtained the use of another arch for a similar period. These were the water-works famous .for so long a period as one of the sights of London. The original works supplied - the neighbourhood " as far as Gracechurch-street," no great distance, and the fact does not. speak much for their efficiency. In 1594 water works of a similar kind were erected near Broken-wharf, which supplied the houses in West Cheap, and around St. Paul's, as far as Fleet-street. And this was all that was done in the way of supplying the populous " and still increasing London" up to the time of the appear ance of Hugh Middleton, citizen and goldsmith. It ap pears that power had been granted by Elizabeth for cut ting and conveying a river from any part of Middlesex or Hertfordshire to the city of London, with a limita tion of ten years' time for the accomplishment of the work. The man, however, was more difficult to ob tain. Elizabeth died without having witnessed the. slightest progress made in the matter. King James confirmed the grant ; and then it was that, after all else had refused to undertake so vast an affair, the " citizen acid goldsmith" came forward with the offer of his wealth, skill, and energy. The arrangements were soon concluded, and _Middleton' set off into the neigh bouring counties to find a fitting stream. After long search and deliberation he fixed upon two springs rising in Hertfordshire—one at Chadwell, near Ware, the other at Amwell. The first positive commencement of the work took place on the 20th of February, 1608. On the 2d of May, 1612, James covenanted with Middleton to bear an equal share of the expense, past and future, in considera tion of being entitled to half the property. In a twelve month from that time the New River was in existence. The cistern by Islington was built to receive its waters; and splendid was the ceremony attending their first ad mission into it.—Knight's London' DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT HUDSON.--A cor respondent writes us yesterday as follows :—" Hudson , June s, 1841.—1 ha s t en t o give you,a_Naccount of a most dreadful ac ..eident which has taken place M ouricity to-day. It has been the custom of the chief superintendbirtlatterly to let the cars go down the descent from the head of Warren -street, without the engine or horse-power, and always thinking that a man ulsced at the break of each car was sufficient for safety. But en the run down this morning the breaks did not perform as well as usual, and the consequence was that six large freight cars ran off the dock, and one lost. The amount of property l os t can not be ascertained exactly, but as near as can be found out, will not be less than 20,000 dollars ; but that i is not anything, where the loss of life s taken in consideration —for five persons who were known to be in the cars were lost —and how many more cannot be told. Two were taken out, one mashed to a complete jelly. And on the other all me ans were tried, but in vain, to resuscitate him." EVENING SUN• MARKET INTELLIGEN CE.
