TRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAY'S "TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEETH." Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none More destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums 'tallies them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro sistices the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A Aoft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually 'setae away, and the Teeth then become loose, and top out whole from their sockets, and it is well known tbs) I ll* less of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the followinp I)servations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumn ttioo ar e considers.'', it would appear impossible that any per eould be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great n- ' se nee even on their own account they are too de ,. a :ed to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ :. skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the ~,!" of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of . 4 "o's than themselves.

To lrotessionai men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who ; a " much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, god state of the mouth must he which greatest importance . f e : itl es, is not an offensive breath, in nineteen cases out 7 ` W enty p roceeds from the bail state of the teeth and gums. „ - ,q much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony „i' t f i l how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness tense ?

When the Teeth are et • 't is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the ,to patient is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, ,to4ationt is exposed to the most distressing insligestions, the ' l . l los es its power of contraction, and becomes weak in sr c r;,, r tlon as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth se e ,, e, a great vacuum is left in, the mouth, which occasions er e 4 muscle in the face to be distotted, ands the whole features "e n ) Ndetely drawn from their original poition. t o i rlsist o n the importance of the teeth, whether in regard ire : e `loletions of digestion and articulation, to which they ~'° essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are s°l,;!'lleh eoneerned must appear a waste of words, were it not k h,, l6 us that there ' are Many persons who never give themselves .• a tromble to thin . k ' upon the subject • who seem scarcely Nt ie that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and eu1„,,,71 „,,,7 1 n egligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends „,%stso lates, ts4a,stification is the first process of digestion, and unless it sr°pe t h e su b seq ue n t processes can nev e r go o n • ‘SC) essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it 15%efficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner tOusd&bility, depr ess i on of spirits, the skin becomes rough and their of a lead co l our , th e e y es lose their brilliancy, the lip s vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing e 7 the w h ole body to receive such a shock as to cause relaxation the whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite „ r eißn to the natural disposition, whereby we become an an- Ploess to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I need " dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may th us owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient foundow that Mon s i eur L e D ra y' s i mprovemen t s w ill b e to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu !',3l)e, and th at art i f i c i al teeth are brought to such perfection, at v.ne Establishme n t, N o . 60, N ewman - street, O x f or d ' street, as T !' perf orm this function in a manner equal in every respect to The natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort.

As an essential point of beauty. the teeth must ever stan-. Pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexton, no sparkling eyes, or siiken braids of jetty hair can cuter that lady beautiful, who whets she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or ' di scoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are e mbellished and rendered agreeable by a gond set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass u nnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. ° R the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of t i ' l lar .e the blackened and d enu d e d f angs, an d t h e t a i n t o f t h e r emh. which is a common concom i tant o f b a d teet h, w ill Av ariably prove disgusting and loathsome.

SIGHT RESTORED!—NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE METROPOLITAN ANTI-CORN-LAW ASSOCIATION. The PEOPLE of ENGLAND have now fairly entered upon a mortal and protracted struggle with the banded legions of monopoly ant private interest. Their opponents ate power sal in the social influence of tax-created wealth, and in the po ses , ian of the strong-holds of political defence ; while on the side of the community there is only the truth and justice of their cause, a med in the panoply of public opinion. But that opinion must be formed by knowledge, and it can only be efficiently expr ssed by organization, and the diffusion of in formation. the distribution of tracts, the formation of Anti- Corn-law Associations, the delivery of lectures, and other peaceful and constitutional means of popular strength, can only be attained by a liberal supply of money ; and this Associa tion is convinced, that as their single object is the greatest hap piness of the gi eatest number, British independence and the generosity of the community, will place them in a position efficiently to avval:on the public to the importance of the aboli tian of all monopolies which press upon the neeessari, s of life. The Business Committee, therefore, EARNESTLY EN TREAT their FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN to subscribe liberally towards the objects of the Association. Donations and subscriptions will be received at the Office, 485. Strand, or at Messrs. Prescott, Grote, and Co 's, needle-street. As the Association extends its operations over the whole kingdom, it will thankfully receive subscriptions from the country.

DETENTION OF THE OUTWARD WEST ItcntA MAIL.—On Saturday a notice was posted at the Gene ral Post-office, stating that the letters for the West India mail will be in time till Tuesday (to-morrow), the lSth inst. Ac cording to regulation, Saturday should have been the last day for the receipt of letters to be forwarded by this conveyance, and the reason that this regulation has been departed from in the present instance is in order that the next outward packet may be the bearer of the news relative to the decision of the House of Commons on the sugar question, and in which the West India interest is so much concerned. ‘4 coNvEsviolv. Whereas hrr Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, being desirous of putting an end to the hostilities which still continue to be carried on between Mexico and Texas, has offered her mediation to the contending parties, with a view to bring about a paci fication between them ; and whereas the Republic of 7 eras has accepted the mediation so offered; the Republic of Texas and her Britannic Majesty's Government bate determined to settle, by means of a convention, certain arrangements which will beet:ne necessary in the event of such pacification being effecti7l; and have for this purpo-e named as their plenipoten tiaries, that is to say, the republic of Texas General James Hamilton, eec. ; and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom the Right Honourable Henry John Viscount Pal merston, Baron Temple, a Peer of Ireland, a Member of her Britannic Majesty's Most Honourable Council, a Member of Parliament, Knight of the Grand Cross of the Most Honour.. able Order of the Bath, and her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ; who, after having communteated to each other their respective full powers, found in good order and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following articles : _ " Art.. 1. • '1 he republic of Texas agrees that if by means of the mediation of her Britannic Majesty an unlimited truce shall be established between Mexico and Texas within thirty days after this convention shall have been communicated to the Mexican Government by her Britannic Majesty's mission at Mexico. and if within six months alter that communica tion shall have been made Mexico shall have concluded a trraty of peace with Texas, then and in such case the re public of Texas will take upon itself a portion, amounting to one million pounds sterling, of the capital of the foreign de' t contracted by the republic of Mexico before the Ist of January, 1835. " Art. 2. The manner in aqiich the capital of one million pounds sterling or Inieign debt, mentioned in the preceding artich shall be transferred from the Republic of Mexico to the Republic of Texas, shall be settled hereafter by a special agreement between the Republic of Texas and the Republic of Mexico, under the mediation of her Britannic Majesty. ‘: /tit. 3. The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London, as soon as possible, within the space of nine months from this date. '• In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed, and have affixed thereunto the seals of their arms. Done at London, the 14th day of November, in the year of our Lord, 1840. (Signed) " PALMERSTON. " HAMILTON." " London, November 5, 1840. "My Loan—As your communications in relation to the proposed mediation of her Majesty's Government in procuring a paoification between Texas and Mexico, and the assumption by the former of a portion of the public debt of the latter have hitherto been entirely verbal, I beg leave to transmit you this despatch, that the reasons and motives which may influence the Republic of Texas in making this assumption may not be liable to any future misconstruction. " In the first place I must enter a protestando against, the inference that Texas is bound in any degree for any portion of th , said debt on any principle of international law, or by any oLliga!ion of private justice. " Mexico violated the Charters she had granted to Austin's colonists, on the faith of which the Anglo-Americans had emi gr,ted to Texas, end recovered its territory from the savage tribes. with whom Mexico was incapable of coping. These vio!a• ions were accompanied by atrocities which rather be longe.l to the dark ages than the era in which we live. " Texas consummated her independence in 18336. In 1837, after Alexico had lost all possession of and sovereignty over Texas, she concluded a convention in London with the Mexi can bondholders, and assigned certain portions of her public lands in several of bar provinces or departments. She was guilty of the absurd mockery of including in this convention those situated in the department of Texas, where she had nei ther a man nor a foot of land over which she exercised juris diction east of the Rio Grande. " I need not insist (I am sure) with your Lordship on the absolute nullity of this Convention, as far as Texas is con cerned. But what I desire to do is to do volunta r ily, as a con cession to the benevolence and philanthropy of her Alajesty's Government, which have induced you to come forward and offer its intervention in producing a pacification between the two countries honourable to both. "If, therefore, Mexico will consent to a truce with Texas within thirty days after the communication of any convention we may conclude on the subject by her Majesty's Mini-ter at her capital, and in six months after will conclude a treaty of amity and commerce with Texas, which shall provide for a sa tisfactory and well-defined boundary between the two coun tries, I shall be quite willing to come under a stipulation that Texas shall assume one million sterling of the public debt of Mexico, contracted by Mexico prior to the year 1835, which is precisely the sum the United States offered for the whole country in 1830. The value it has acquired since has been conferred on it by the enterprise, heroism, and intelligence of the citizens of Texas themselves, and is a just and honourable acquisition of their own. _ ;‘ This I desire to be regarded as a voluntary caneession ; for I conceive Texas no more bound to assume a portion of the public debt of Mexico, than the thirteen American colonies after they achieved their independence were bound to assume a share of the national debt of Great Britain. Your Lordship, however, in our conferences, has never pressed this as a matter EgiEWISn trie - trairest,shn -,eskams of her Majesty's subjects who have long suffered under the bad faith of Mexico, and whom, under a just equivalent to the citizens of Texas, I shall be gratified if they shall be instru mental in indemnifying. " In conclusion, I have the honour to remain, with distin guished consideration and regard, " Your Lordship's obedient servant, "J. HAMILTON. " The Right Hon. Lord Viscount Palmerston." PUBLICATIONS.

B at issEt,s, May )s.—The Minister of the Interior has sent the following note to the Chamber of Commerce of Ver viers, and probably to the other Chambers of Commerce in the kingdom : " Brussels, May 3. " Sir,—The Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Belgium and Brazils expired on the 18th of April last._ The Government has in vain made every effort that it might be continued ; Brazil has resolved to refrain at present from re newing the Treaties which it had concluded, as well with France and the United States, as with Belgium and England. This resolittion it has already applied to the first three Powers, and has declared its intention of applying likewise to the last as soon as the Treaty expires, which will be in November, 1842. However, the steps taken by our Envoy at Ili° have been entirely fruitles ; he has obtained a promise that our commerce shall continue to be treated in the same manner as that of the nation (England), the treaties of which are not jet expired ; and this, the last existing treaty having expired, another shall be made with us on the princi ples of recipro6ty. Thus, Sir, till November, 1842, our com merce will continue to enjoy the same advantages, secured by the treaty which has just expired. Our merchants know that the principal of these advantages is to pay to Brazil only an import duty of 20 per cent. on our spirituous liquors of our own manufacture, while that duty is 50 per cent. on the some article coming from countries not favoured. Be so good, Sir, as immediately to inform the Chambers of Commerce In your province, of what I have stated, and at the same time desiring immediately to inform merchants in their departments, " The Minister of the Interior, " NOTEIONIB."

A por tion of money towards the next dividends was on the point of being remitted by this packet through the bank ; but at elate hour some difficulties were star t ed, which it was expected would prevent its remittance by this po s t.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 27. The announcement of the participation of France in the last deliberations of the London Conference, and of her adhesion to the Treaty to adjust the affairs of the East, had been re ceived by the Sultan with the liveliest satisfaction. The first dragomans of the great Powers had had, for the last ten days, 'frequent conferences with Rifaat Pacha, the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Although the object of tlie'e in terviews had not transpired, yet there were many reasons to believe that they had reference to the Egyptian question, which was considered to be entirely settled. Tlie Divan, as we have already stated, have acce led to the modifications of the hatti scheriff of the 13th of February last, required by Mehemet Ali, and a new hatti-wheriff to that effect was being drawn up, which would be shortly d es p atche d to Alexandria. The Sultan removed on the indisposed fo r some d ays, i n conse but he wa s th en conva l escent, '26th to th e P a l ace o f t h e S weet Waters, where he intended t o reside during the month of May. and it was hoped that his soj ourn at t he Sweet Waters would ( H i u i e s n c H e ig o h f n th " : ch h a a n d ge hasten his recovery. The four Austrian super ior Officer s who served in the last b o e f en season, expedition to Syria were presented on the 24th by Rifaat Bey to the Sultan, who received them in the most gracious man ner, and expressed to them his satisfaction with their gallant conduct in Syria, and the services which they had rendered the Ottoman empire. Hussein Pacha, the President of the Board of War, died on the '27th. Preparations for a new expedition to Candla were carried on with the utmost activity. Several vessels of war had been taken out of the arsenal, and laden in all haste with provisions and ammunition. They were to immediately sail for that. island. 'lbis expedition, which is to be commanded by Tahir Pacha, the Grand Admiral, was to consist of two ships of the line, six friates, and a number of smaller vessels and steamers, which, after landing 6,000 troops in the island, w ou ld c r uise along its coasts. A note to that effect bad been communicated by the Forte to the different foreignleptions in Constantinople; Some disturbances have occurred lately at Trebizond, vrhia 'have caused a momentary state of excitement in the Greek community. They had been rebuilding an old Greek church that lay in a quarter of the town inhabited partly by Greeks and partly by Turks. The latter murmured, but as the former had obtained a firman from the Porto for the purpose, nothing was slid until Easter-eve, when the Turks began to complain aloud that the walls of the building had been carried much above the limits prescribed by the firman. The Pacha ordered that the walls should be reduced to the height prescribed in the firman, which was accordingly put into execution on Easter- Sanday. The popular excitement was so great that Kiayoghe Emir Aga, fearing that something might happen to the Rus sian Consul, sent to tell him that should any insult be offered him during the row, he had fifty armed men ready to pro tect him. Elated by their success, the Turks next turned their atten tion to a Greek school that was building in the Christian quarter of the town. The place was inspected by the legal authorities, and it was declared unlawful to allow the building to stand as it was. inasmuch as it was contrary to their law to allow an infidel building to be raised higher than Mussulman houses. At this decision the Russian Consul, as protector of the Greeks, interceded with the Pacha, who after much dis cussion decided that the whole edifice should be razed to the ground. Whiie the people were demolishing the building, however, a second order came from the Pacha, that only the upper story of the school should be thrown down. This ap pears to have been owing to another application from the Rus sian Consul. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 27.—The political aspect of affairs has undergone no change since the departure of the Great Liverpool. The four Consuls-General are still at Constantino ple, which they expected to leave about the end of the month, with full powers to settle the questions which re mained open. The plague is spending and creating great alarm among the Europeans and Levantines, and the merchant-vessels in port have, by the advice of their Consuls, hoisted the yellow flag, and adopted some quarantine precautions. One Aus trian and two English sailors have died, and another Aus trian similarly attacked has recovered. A young Dane, named Smidt, who superintended the passage of travellers on the Nile, has died in the Lazaretto on the 25th ult., and the oldest Maltese merchant in Alexandria was !ying ill of the disease at the date of our advices.. The French steamer sailed en the 27th without passengers. The general mortality, has, however, not increased. On the 26th ultimo the deaths were eight; persons attacked, and removed to the hospital, 9; other deaths 15. The general mortality at Cairo was 120 per day, but the deaths from plague there are few in comparison with those from fever, small-pox, cholera, None of the passengers of the Liverpool had reached Suez in time to sail for India. The Phoenix steamer has arrived from Beyrout and Caiffa (after landing Sappers and Miners for the repairs of Acre) to take in coals, and to return to the coast of Syria. Specie had been landed at Beyrout by a French man of-war, for the service of the Christian convents of Lebanon , and two priests of the Propaganda, who had arrived in Alex andria with a large sum of money on the 14th ult., sailed again on the 18th for Beyrout on a similar mission to the Maronites in the taountair.s. Ibrahim Pacha is still at Cairo, making extensive changes in the administration of the affairs of Egypt, displacing Arabs in office, and replacing them with Turks. The immediate effect has been a great depreciation in the value of the teskere?2, or paper securities, of the Egyptian Government. SYRIA. Advices from Beyrout of the 17th ult. state that Syria was then perfectly tranquil. Nedjib Pacha, the new Governor of Damascus, and Enveri Effendi, the Defterdar, had arrived at Beyrou: a few days before, and proceeded to their destination. On the 12th the Serzskier, Selim Pacha, convoked a meet ing of all the civil, military, and religious authorities, and of the Consuls of the different nations, on a plain situate beyond the gates, for the purpose of making to them a communication of general interest. A considerable crowd having repaired to the place of rendezvous, Selim directed one of his secretaries to read aloud a hatti-scheriff having for its object to inform the Syrians of the benevolent intentions of the Porte for their welfare and prosperity. On the following day the Divan as sembled at the palace of the Governor. The Mufti and the Cadi assisted at the assembly, together with the Bishops of the different Christian rites, who were to return each five delegates, in order to constitute with the Al ussulmans a council which was to establish a system of administration conformable to the manners and wants of the people. Several firraans were read to the assembly, the most important of which was one limiting all the contributions to a uniform tax of 10 per cent. on the rental and produce throughout the empire ; but, consi dering the last events of which Syria was the theatre, and the losses sustained by its inhabitants, his Highness had deigne to exempt the Syrians from the payment of that tax, which was to be temporarily replaced by a trifling personal tax. The country had at last been freed from the presence of the 2,000 Albanian troops, who had kept the people in constant appre hension ever since the re-occupation of Syria by the Turks. Some misunderstanding had arisen between the mountaineers and their Emir, but no apprehensions were entertained for the peace of the country. The new Customs' Ta riff was carried into execution, for the first time, in Beyrout, on the 11th ultimo. The sanatory Adminis tration had adopted various measures calculated to • prevent the plague spreading through Syria. A cordon haft been established within a mile of Beyrout, at the request of the British resident, contrary to the advice of the French Con sul. At Seyde the Mussulmans had demanded the abolition of the sanatory intendance, and presented a memorial to that effect to the Divan, who havifig, submitted it to the British Consular agent, the latter replied, that the institution of the ouPxgalinw harL_lnmert_rrPatail hea fetra thati n t, r - g- h. duty of the authorities to punish with severity those who pre sumed to violate the ordeis of the Government. The people, displeased at this reply, evinces a disposition to revolt, but were restrained by the energetic attitude of the garrison. EXTRAORDINARY FIELDS OF ICE IN THE ATLANTIC. Great Western Steam-ship, Bristol Channel, May 14, 1841. Sir —Under the impression that ice, to the extent it has been seen this year, has never before been heard of in these latitudes, I give you the following particulars for the informa tion of your readers :—On Sunday, m April 18th, the ship steer ing west, at six r. ~ first saw oneiceberg on the starboard bows ; and 7 30 passed it: at that time four or five others in sight. At 915 passed several small pieces of ice-- slowed the engines. In a few minutes after the ship was sur rounded with light field ice, which appeared similar to a field I ran through on the 11th Feb , 1839. This induced me to go slowly, with the hopes of getting through as I had done on that occasion, but by 9 30 finding it became closely packed, and much thicker, prudence dictated our escape by the same channel we had entered, I then stopped, and attempted to get the ship's head to the eastward by turning ahead and astern until there was room for her to come round ; in the course of this operation the ship had occasionally (at least) two strokes heel given by either wheel passing over large masses of ice. At 10 15 succeeded in getting the ship's head to the eastward, and by 11 entirely clear ; from that time went slowly, passing several icebergs; the night at times very clear, the aurora borealis very bright. At 330 A.m. of the again got embayed in the ice, stoppeti t hauled,short round on our keel, and steered g. by S., coasting the ice for five or six miles; 4 20, kept her to the westward, running through innu merable iNbergs until 8 30 when we passed the last iecherg and point of the field ice.

RUMOURS AFLOAT We know not how the present (19,1 Ate is to terminate, or not tp terminate, nor when it will do so ; but we think there are two professed Liberals to whom some ad monition is required. We mean Lord Minto and Mr. T. B. Macaulay. We believe they are both good Men in their way ; but why 444 they cippow the general sen timents of the Cabinet, professed and insisted upon by their colleagues, that it would be base on the part of the present Government, and destructive to Ireland, if the present Government were not to remain in office, to try a dissolution ? We fear that Mr, B, Macaulay is a mere rhetorician, and has not the grasp of mind which suffices for the contemplat; , m of all the consequences likely to result from the mto step of a resignation, grid that Lord Minto is so irritated by the necessary recal of his relative, Captain Elliot, from China, where he has done immense disservice to the interests of his country, that he will not listen to reason, or abide by the decision of his colleagues. If so, the sooner that he, and Mr. B. Macaulay are sent to the Tory side or the House the better, The entire Cabinet are of the opinion that the present Ministry ought to remain in office, whatever the result of the present or future motions may he l until they can make a fair appeal to the onwitry, 41 . 14 at a time when it will neither interrnps the hnsine-is of Parliament nor Fit either yenng or old candidates to seats to any particular inconvenience.

"To Messrs. Prout and other Requisitionists." The High Bailiff will take the chair at one o'clock precisely! THE COUNTRY AWAKING•—THE ALTERNATIVE.—So great had become the dejection and apathy of the country, that we doubted last week whether the people would arouse them,elves to support the gallant onslaught made by Ministers upon our evil genius —Monopoly. We now doubt no more. It could hardly be expected that the country should pass at once from the freezing point to boiling-heat. But the thermometer is rising ; and we shall yet see the combined phalanx of mono polists and Tories, natural confederates, broken and overthrows' by a demonstration of enlightened public opinion. We do not disguise from ourselves that we have a hard battle to fight. On former occasions we have striven to obtain the means of good government. But the object now is the end contemp lated in our former efforts—plenty, and the happiness of the people. And if we need any other stimulus, let us look at the alternative that lies before us. We hare at present— Failing Trade, Intense Misery, and A deficient Revenue. The Government perceive and boldly declare this state of things. Those appalling truths which have been reiterate-I in the ears of the people and the Legislature, by the opponents of monopoly, for several years past, are now acknowledged by the Ministers of the Crown. They propose a remedy, too, which goes to the root of the evil. They recommend a c:•tange, entire in principle, most comprehensive in its range, but moderate in degree, to restore our trade, and relieve the people, who thus acquiring augmented resources, will enjoy increased comfort, and thereby replenish the revenue. Ministers have rivals, who obstruct their measures, eager to obtain their places. But if the Opposition should succeed to office, how do they propose to deal with the difficulties of our position? For Declining Trade, for the Misery of the People, they have no remedy. They avoid these subjects as if too small for their notice; and when hard pressed, Mr. Goul. burn tells us " they would let things alone." Then these be the claims of the Tories— Falling Trade—They will let alone. The Misery of the People—They will let alone. For deficient Revenue—Two millions of New Taxes. While the Government offer for Failing Trade—The Abolition of Monopoly. Popular Alisery—Diminished Burdens Deficient Revenue —Restored Prosperity. Between these parties let the nation choose. But to be an effective it must be an active choice. It is not enough to say —these Whig measures are good—pity they can't carry them. The only language which befits the occasion is— These Measures are good-- This cause is ours— And we will carry it. Of this let the people be well assured, that no Government, Whig or Tory, can of itself succeed in such measures as these. We urge our countrymen, then to bestir themselves. They can never have stronger arguments than now. In all proba bility, they will never have greater power. Now, or never, is the time for exertion ; and the spirit of it must be, not the hope of success, but a fixed and English determination to succeed.— Sheffield Independent. WA K EFI E.T.D.—The lethargy so long prevalent amongst the reformers in Wakefield, respecting the Corn-laws, has at length given was, the first sign of which made its appearance on Satur day last. On that day, Joseph Holdsworth, Esq., proprietor of the extensive dye-works, at Belle Isle, drew up a petition in support of the Government measures now under cor.sidera,ion, embracing the duties on sugar, coffee. &c. ; and also in support of the project of Ministers for remodelling the laws relating to the importation of foreign corn, which, after receiving the vo luntary and unanimous signatures of his numerous and intelli gent workmen, was handed to other parts of the town for the same purpose. On Tuesday, a petition to the same effect, emanating from the pen of W. Henry Leatham, Esq., went the round of the borough, and was numerous!) , and respectably signed.— Sheffield Independent. If anything could add to the urgency, and indeed the inevit.- able necessity, of adopting, in substance, some such measures as the Ministry now propose, it would be the startling fact that our system of excluding the goods and produce of other coon • tries by prohibitory duties, is causing them to establish ma nufactures for themselves, and to exclude our goods by counter prohibitory duties. A feeling of animosity is created against us, which manifests itself in such measures as the Prussian league, the American tariff, the intimation given by the Bra zils of a hostile tariff as soon as the existing treaty expires, and in general, by the rapid and dangerous spread of an anti commercial system—of which we cannot justly complain, so long as we s , t the example of it as we now do. But this must be looked to before it be too late ; and that makes the present crisis at least as impottant for the kinz;lam as it can be for the Ministry. Napoleon, at the heiglit of his power, could plan nothing worse than the anti.oommercial sys tem for the destruction of the prusperity of Britain. We havo lived to see the day when a system, which is rapidly producing precisely the same results, is keenly defended by the Tories and the monopolists. But the Ministers of our Gracious Queen base stenoett forward in the spirit of a manly, just and nation-' people people to give use maw., , atm -ies- smyi, wi t tervy - wmt-t.re voice and the strength of a free nation, as it was in the 49:% ot Reform. Scotsman. We regard the defeat by the Tories . of the Government's proposition to reduce the duty en foreign sugar, as a most grievous evil to the middle and working classes at home. Had this reduction been assented to by the House of Conremi.„ Mr. Labouchere stated that the whole tariff would in, undergo revision ; and coffee, which is now be com i ng , as thi s wholesome berry ought to become, a daily necessary at the working man's table, would soon, be sold at one shilling ins4 .ea d of two shillings per pound —and cheap sugar and ch^„p coffee might be enjoyed by this country, without a•.,-rmenting the evils of negro slavery in any part of the wq.,. id—for 50 per cent. is certainly a protection of sulEcies;t, magnitudelo the free labour producer. At present, after paying the West Indian planters twenty milling slerlhig, our industrious classes are being pinched * in ardor that snore money may be put into the pockets of these West Indian Shylocks. In the eyes of party men, the real welfare of the agricultural and commer cial classes appear as dust in the ba/anee.

Nye think that the Ministerial budget is entitled to support. It is not tariff reform—it is not free twle—but it is something better than we have at present % root it is infinitely preferable to the additional taxes wk A itili must be laid on, if it is not car ried. We would impress this practical, unexaggerated, un partisan view of the question on all nut countrymen. The g'itt 'held out by Ministers is worth accepting. Thu motley opposition of philo-blaeks and ex-slave drivers, of East Indian monopolists and West Indian monopolists, of rampant ultra- Royalist; and Canadian rebels (as these Royalists call them), is iiet more incongruous in its txinstituent members, than in the fallacies by which they waist to cloak their base, selfish, and short-sighted-co,-,AKdinburgh Weekly Chronicle.
