The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioner s , w h o traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want o f careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole an d exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing . this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

The season having arrived when an increased demand for Brandy generally exists, J. T. BETTS and CO. avail themselves of the opportunity again to remind the Public of the fact, which has long been established, and is now generally ad mitted, that their PATENT BRANDY possesses a degree of purity, and wholesome properties, unknown in a very large proportion of Foreign Brandies ; whilst the flavour so nearly approaches that of the best qualities of Cognac, that it is diffi cult to judge between them. The similarity, in this respect, might be made perfect; but such a fancied advantage could only be obtained by imitating certain impurities, existent in the Foreign productions, from which the Patent Brandy is exempt; as is demonstrated by the Testimonials of the most eminent Chemists, to whom it has been submitted for analysis ; and is, further, abundantly proved by the sanction of Medical Men of the highest standing, as well in their private practice, as in their directions to employ it in the Civil and Military Hospi tals, Infirmaries, and other Charitable Institutions, throughout the Country. under their charge; where it has superseded Fo reign Brandy. J. T. Betts and Co. regard these facts as the only comment necessary to be offered upon the attempts which are yearly made, and as certainly and frequently abandoned, to introduce articles of the same class; which a very short experience has proved to be utterly destitute of those qualities necessary to justify their claims to public support. This valuable Spirit is manufactured only at the Distillery of J. T. Betts and Co., No. 7, .Smithfield.bars, London ; and is sold by the Spirit Dealers in all parts of the Country ; or by Agents specially appointed, under Sealed Certificates, where there are no Dealers who keep the article. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOUItNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The speech of Mr. Christopher to his constituents at Lincoln, notwithstanding that Hon. Member's indignant disclaimer of the func- Lion of pilot balloon to Sir Robert Peel, affords very sufficient and significant indications that the Globe was not premature in its early and ex clusive information of the intention of the pre sent Ministry to :propose important changes in the Corn-laws, and the nature of the alterations which are intended to be proposed. It is true that Mr. Christopher was compelled to be very cautious, and complaisantly dubious in his announcements of what is intended in addressing himself to an agricultural audience, and setting such alternatives before them as he supposed most likely to conciliate them to over tures of any change. With all these circum stances operating on the manner of this announce ment, it is impossible not to recognise in it the character of an authentic ernbassage from that Ark, with its beasts clean or unclean, which bears the present Ministry and its fortunes. It is im possible also not to recognise the identity of that character, in its general outline, with the plan which the Globe ha s a l rea d y se t forth to the public. Their Principles and characteristic fea tures bear a sufficiently near resemblance to es tablish (in the absence of all possible concert) their derivation from well-informed and authen tic sources. Whether, therefore, the minimum rate proposed will be ss. or 45., whether the point at which it is to be chargeable will be 68s. or 655., it may now be considered as certain that Ministers are going to introduce' a measure having for its object to remedy the extreme low duty, and the ex treme high duties imposed under the present scale. and to obviate the frauds in the taking of the averages. The general plan of Ministerial ope rations therefore may be so far anticipated, and the possible variations from the new scale to be proposed, as announced by ourselves, or by Mr. Christopher (who does not go so much into detail, and appeared anxious to commit himself as little as possible with his county audience), are hardly worth conjecturing or discussing at present. The main question is whether any modification which retains the slid ing scale, with the evils which are inseparably in herent in the nature of that contrivance, will, or ought to, satisfy the public mind, so far as the public have a mind on this question. The sliding scale, under any possible modification, must con tinue to the last what it was from the first, a con trivance—an intentional one—for thwarting and limiting, the operations of commerce in the sup ply of corn. STANDARD.—On Friday Mr. Christopher, the Member for the Lindsay division of Lincoln shire, addressed 56 of his constituents at the far mers' market table at Lincoln. The cdmpany comprised the occupants of nearly forty thousand acres—men of as intelligent a class as any in the community. Mr. Christopher's address was excel lent throughout, but it divides itself into branches possessing different degrees of interest for the ge neral reader. The part of the address which con cerns the local politics of Lincoln and the factious proceedings of Lord Worsley and Major Hand ley, though quite appropriate to the occasion and admirable in its style and reasoning, will be read with less attention by strangers than the allusions to the present state of the Corn-law question, which constitute the great part of Mr. Chris topher's speech. Within a few hours of the accession of the present Government we an nounced that the Corn-law question would occupy its first attention, and that a revi sion of the scale of duties, and an improved;' mode of taking the averages, were to be , looked for at its hands. We have more than once since repeated the announcement, and shown the necessity that suggests the course proposed. We are happy to have our intimation publicly verified by a gentleman of Mr. Chris topher's rank and talents, and of his deservedly high consideration with the members of the Administration. The Honourable Gentleman on Friday reminded his hearers that the present Ministers received office upon the condition of opening the Corn-law question, and that they are therefore pledged to it; but Sir Robert Peel is also personally pledged to the principle of protection and to the preservation of the princi ple of the sliding scale. Whatever change is to be expected, must therefore respect the terms of the scale and the manner of taking the aver ages. One improvement in the scale was hap pily recommended by Mr. Christopher —we mean the abandonment of the extravagantly high duties imposed after the prices have fallen to 40s. the quarter. These duties are perfectly use less, for prices will never fall so low unless the country is absolutelysaturated, and no temptation to import grain can exist; the extravagant duties, therefore, s',e.rve no other purpose than to supply topics to Anti-Corn -law leCturers. Mr. Christo pher r co; ir fi rmE 4 us in the opinion we h ave a lways eh t , _,that the honest and effectual mode of taking _ne averages mustbe arrivedatby some approach to the sellers rather than the buyers, who, being all more or less interested in the foreign corn trade, must have a direct interest in represent- Oran the truth at one time, ing prices higher lower than the truth at another, accordingly as they have to buy foreign corn, or to rid them selves of a stock on hand. COURIER.—In this Protestant country every man has a right to interpret Scripture for him self. The State, in establishing a National Church, represented the aggregate of individual rights, and did for its subjects interpret and de clare the meaning of Holy Writ, embodying this linterpretation in the enactments of the Con fession of Faith. To have placed the in terpretation of the Scriptures, to the ex tent of saying what was the mind of the State, acting on the Protestant principle of the right of individual judgment in the matter, in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Courts, would have been obviously to surrender this principle, as much as if these Courts had been permitted legislatorially to fix the National Creed, and would have just amounted to the re-establish ment of Popery. Disguise it how the Kirk-leaders may, there is nothing more evident than that the famous "Declaration of independence" of the As sembly, 1838, was neither more nor less than an as sumption of all the spiritual power and supremacy ever claimed or exercised under the Papacy. The Kirk is striving to adhere, practically, to this usurpation, both in barring the door against en trants to benefices, and in expelling those already in possession of livings, who will not obey her spiritual edicts, but appeal from them, where they hold them to be illegal and contrary to the Confession of Faith, to the jurisdiction of the Civil Magistrate. We have already alluded to a wide spread rumour, that Sir Robert Peel is prepared to sanction the groundsandprinciples on which the Kirk. is now taking her stand ! not, indeed, to give her the spiritual jurisdiction she claims, for that she would disdain to take from his hands, but to obtain from Parliament a declaration that she possesses and has all along possessed it to the extent now advanced and exercised; and to provide that when she de poses from the spiritual office, the civil arm shall, without more ado, deprive her of the secular emoluments! No doubt, so far as the Duke of Argyll's Bill or any other measure yet proposed appears to go, she is confining herself to the filling up of vacant parishes under the existing laws of patronage; but in the "memorial" sub mitted to her Majesty's Government she has advanced her claim of " spiritual independence," embracing a far wider field, and, as we have already said, substantially re-landing in Popery. We would warn Sir Robert Peel to be on his guard when negotiating with these " canny Scotch." While he may mean only to give them the "inch," they may be cunningly securing the " ell." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.--The Gazette appointment of the Commission regarding the management of the Exchequer bill department confirms the views we expressed on that subject. Considering the Commission separately from other points, it is all very proper, with the view of enabling the Government to remodel the Exchequer bill de partment, and to decide upon the best plan of issue and management for the future. It is true that the public know the principal defects in the existing system, and the additional checks or re gulations that should be established to guard in future against the forgery of Exchequer bills, or against the fraudulent or unauthorised issue of them. Want of superintendence, and gross ladies on the part of the Crown, were the chief causes that not only led to the commis sion of fraud by Smith, but even tempted him to the perpetration of it. Strict supervi sion and vigilance, therefore, are the checks which common sense points out as best cal culated to protect the public in future. A branch of the Exchequer should also be opened in the City, under the charge of officers practically acquainted with the business of the Money Market, who should countersign every bill issued. The Royal Commissioners cannot throw much new light, therefore, upon that matter; but nevertheless, if the present Govern ment entertain difficulties regarding it, or wish for further information before coming to a con clusion, the plan of obtaining the necessary data by a Report from a Commission is the safest they could have chosen. At the same time, we must repeat that the investigation of defects in management, and the substitution of a better system for the fizture, although absolutely neces sary, do not meet the exigencies orthe, case. There are, as we have formerly remarked, three separate points to be considered :- 1. Compensation to the innocent holders. 0.. Discovery and punishment of the confede rates of Smith and Rapallo. 3. Protection for the future. The Commission issued applies chiefly to the last point, and leaves the other two unsatisfied. That, we repeat, is beginning at the wrong end, or, according to the adage—putting the cart be fore the horse. The last advices from the Cape, give a favour able account of their wool produce, the exports of which are now estimated at 100,0001. a year. Reports of an unsatisfactory character, circu lated in the morning, regarding a great house in Liverpool, received the most implicit contradic tion previous to the close of business. HERALD.—Considerable disappointment was experienced this morning at the abortive result of a cause, anxiously looked for during some days past, and which was brought on this morn ing in the Court of Queen's Bench only to go off in a very unaccountable sort of way. A good many curious people in waiting upon the Court on the occasion were thus debarred of the pro mised trial. The action arose out of certain Stock Exchange transactions, and the payment of differences claimed thereupon. It was known that much extraordinary matter was likely to transpire in evidence on this trial, and that names would probably be found to figure in it which would create no little surprise, and per haps not redound over much to the credit of the parties so prominently brought forward; but all these anticipations were doomed to be prema turely destroyed, or postponed, for after some sparring of counsel a non-suit was entered up, and so the public must perforce wait for a re newal of process and another term. THE EXCHEQUER BILLS FRAUD. An able pamphlet on this mysterious subject has just been published by A. H. Bailey and Co._, of Cornhill, and as it is of great importance to many thousands that a conspiracy which has caused such excitement, and which may be attended with disastrous consequence, should be thoroughly investigated without delay, we shall make no excuse for quoting largely from its columns. The author properly observes at the commencement, " that all which the public know with certainly is, that to private individuals it has caused loss of money, to the nation loss of credit, to the Government loss of character, and to the public loss of confidence." After adverting to the disappointment caused by the unex pected result of Smith's trial, and the escape of Rapallo, he thus proceeds : It was therefore a great object with the Government to quash every proceeding against Rapallo, the fact being, that they had not a shadow of a case against him; they were perfectly aware that Smith's first statement of having given the bills to him unsigned was false; and the result has proved that it was, Smith having pleaded " Guilty" to all the counts of the indictment. But the anxiety of the public is to ascertain who signed the bills. Smith's pleading " Guilty" by no means makes it certain that he signed them ; indeed, every one who has examined the figures, which he admitted to be his, declare that they are not in the same hand-writing as the signatures; and moreover, that the signatures on the bills fraudulently issued are the same as those at tached to every other Exchequer bill in circulation. The Government, however, by Smith having pleaded guilty to the forgery, has effected two objects. lstly. They have prevented an e.rposee of that gross negligence which has been the cause of this fraud being perpetrated on the public. 2ndly. They have placed the holders of the fraudulent ExChequer bills at their mercy, because, were an action brought against the Government, the case would be met by the plea of admitted forgery, which would nonsuit the plaintiff. He then adds, that the public had no possible means of guarding themselves against the fraud—nay, to the utter disgrace of the officials at the Exchequer-hill Office, the Government either would not, or could not, distinguish the false from the genuine bills. Let us proceed, therefore, to examine the case in a fair and impartial manner. The loss which has fallen on the public has arisen from their having placed implicit confidence in the vigilance of the Government and the in tegrity of its officers. The public implicitly relied on being secured against fraud by the following legal precautions, which are di rected to be observed at the Exchequer, viz. : Istly. That no more paper would be manufactured and printed _than was actually required for the bills voted by Par%ment for the public service, the more es pecially as it is known that both the paper and the printing are manufactured and executed under the roof of the Exchequer, for the still greater security of the public. 2dly. That the seal with which they are stamped would be kept in the custody of three parties, and never used except in their presence. idly: That nä Exchequer bills would be signed except at the Exchequer. Is it the fault of the public that these precautions have been neglected ? and could the fraud have taken place if they had been observed ? On the 22d of October last, three distinct parties, at three distinct times, took up various bills to have them examined ; these bills amounted to 25,000/. ; they were all examined by different parties in the Exchequer, were compared with the counterfoils, and pronounced genuine. 16,0001. of these bills have been since received by the Bank of England in payment for scrip, and the other 9,0001. are marked with the initials of an indifferent part, who was present at the examination. ....... . . . It can also be proved that 40,0001. other bills (now pronounced to be forgeries), were not only examined by the clerks of the Exchequer, but that Mr. Percival, com ing in at the time, was requested to examine the signa tures, and state whether he could reject any as being foreign to his writing ; he turned them all carefully over one by one, and said h could not. .... These examinations (with one exception), took place, be it remembered, after a slur had been thrown on Ex chequer bills, and they were consequently subjected to the most minute examination. The author thus describes the manner in which Smith was detected, and naturally expresses some anxiety to know what has become of the book containing the coun terfoils with which these bills were compared. On the 25th of October the following disclosures took place : Duplicate numbers of Exchequer bills were brought up to the Exchequer, one set belonging either to the London and Westminster Bank, or to Messrs. Barclay and Co., and the other to one of the brokers who had received them from Rapallo. It was proved that the bills held by the Bank had never been out of its posses sion, yet they were so exactly like the duplicates, both in respect to figures and signature, that it was impossible to distinguish the one from the other ; consequently the Manager of the Bank, who was present, very acutely ob served, that as nobody out of doors could have had the one bill from which to make a copy of the other, the figures of both must have been filled in by one and the same person. On this Mr. Smith became very agitated, and requested to speak to Mr. Maule, the solicitor of the Treasury, in a private room, when he made his confession. It appears that all the bills surreptitiously issued are running numbers, although deposited at various times. Great importance is to be attached to this fact, as it throws a glimmering of light as to the manner in which the signatures of the bills have been obtained. It would therefore be most satisfactory for the public to know in what state the unissued bills are—whether signed or un signed, and whether the counterfoils are witnessed in the same manner as those of every other book ; because, if the bills are signed, and the counterfoils are witnessed, no other conclusion can be arrived at than that Smith must have abused the confidence of Lord Monteagle and Mr. Percival, by placing a book of Exchequer bills be fore them, and that they signed it in the full reliance that nothing would be so placed unless it were right and proper. He then contends that the holders of the bills could not by any means distinguish between good and bad bills, and as a proof states that persons of all classes of the greatest experience, from the Directors of the Bank of England to money brokers, advanced money on them for these very good reasons, that the paper, the print ing, the stamp, and the figures were the same as every ether Exchequer bill in circulation. The fraud, it ap pears, commenced in 1836, soon after Sir John Newport became Comptroller, and great losses since that period, he infers, must have occurred. But let not (says he) the public delude themselves with the notion, that be cause the brokers who have raised the money have deli vered large quantities of Stock to Solari and Rapallo, that that Stock may not have been disposed of, and that large losses may not have occurred. Those who are acquainted with the nature of Stock transactions, and who have unfortunately dabbled in shares, can easily imagine that 300,0001. has been sunk during the space of five years ; and from the best information that can be gathered, it seems that every share they dealt in is now utterly without value. Take British Iron shares, for instance, which Smith mentions as having speculated in before the Chancellor's decision : these shares were then between 401. and 50/. per share ; they are now worth nothing—and worse than nothing. This one speculation may be but as a sample of the rest ; and when to such speculations is added the loss sustained in interest alone, the manner in which the money is gone ceases to be marvellous. However it may disappoint public curiosity, which is led to believe that there are some powerful delinquents behind the scenes, it may be observed, that utterly de void of truth as Smith's statements are, the more especi ally as to issuing the bills unsigned, and to his never having received any part of the moneys raised on them, still from his own statements may be gathered the most reasonable explanation of the whole fraud. Let us now turn to that part of the case by far the most interesting to the public, viz., what is to be the future fate of the unfortunate holders of the bills. It is almost impossible to imagine that the Govern ment, composed as it is of some of the most honourable and high-minded men in the kingdom, can do otherwise than recommend the payment of the bills when Parlia ment meets. But the manner in which the trial has been conducted, stifling as it has every fact favourable to the holders of the bills, and placing them, so far as legal re dress goes, at the mercy of Government, shakes the con fidence of the public as to their future intentions. It behoves then the holders of the bills to remember that " union is strength." Let them in the first place memorialise the Treasury, and respectfully request to know their decision in regard to the impounded bills. If they are wise they will not be satisfied with any eva sive answer, for if the battle of " right against might" is to be fought, they must be prepared to take the field before the March bills are called in and the new ones issued. The Bank of England should be foremost in support ing the cause of the holders ; for, it is stated that, on the 21st of October upwards of 57,0001. of the bills said to be forged were redeemed from the Bank, by monies raised from the present holders. The Bank of England can come forward with a pecu liar grace in support of the public, and cite its own con duct under nearly similar circumstances : viz., some Bank clerks once obtained possession of several bank notes, which were perfect in every respect save the signa ture; the signature they forged, and issued the notes to the public. What was the conduct of the Bank on the occasion ? They justly said, how were the public to know that the notes were forgeries, when they are the same in every respect as every other bank note in circu lation, and it is the general appearance of the note, and not the signature, which the public trust. The Bank, therefore, hanged the delinquents, but they paid the notes. After adding that the East India Company and other moneyed interests should press on Government the pay ment of these bills, the writer thus concludes : The public very justly ask—Who appointed the offi cers of the Exchequer, through whose neglect this fraud has occurred? Who ordered more Exchequer bills to be manufactured and printed than were necessary for the public service? Who filled in the numbers of the Ex chequer bills? Who stamped them? Who issued them? Who signed Exchequer bills in other places than at the Exchequer-office, thereby (however unconsciously) giv ing facilities to this fraud being effected? The answer to all these questions is—the Government, or those ap pointed by the Government. The rejoinder of the pub licthen is—that the Government must pay them. The foregoing observations are submitted to the con sideration of every candid mind; their object is to prove that the fraud could never have occurred if due caution had been observed on the part of the Government; and that from the circumstance of the fraud centering in the individual selected by Government to fill the important post of Chief Issuing Clerk of the Exchequer, it was mo rally impossible for the public to guard against, or to detect it.

CORN-LAW REFORM . This question which has long agitated nearly all classes of the community has at last been taken up by the far mers. At a dinner given to Mr. Christopher, one of the Members for Li nco l ns hi re, last week, he roposed the following plan f o r th e repea l of the resent Corn law, and substituting another, evidently with the consent of a large number of his constituents. After describin g the evils of the p resen t system h e thus proceeds : It is a great inducement for persons with a very low rate of duty and a'sudden fall in the scale to enter into the trade ; and it is a great inducement for the corn trade to get out of the hands of those regular corn merchants who used to be connected with the trade, and to fall into the hands of gentlemen connected with the Stock Ex change. There is no person who makes a purchase of wheat at from 255. to 30s. per quarter in foreign ports who does not, by entering into combination with per sons who have the control of the markets, endeavour to arrive at the object of selling this corn at 735. Is it not a very easy and a very tempting thing to raise the averages to the amount of 2s. or 3s. the quarter, when, instead of having to pay a duty of 10s. Bd., they pay a duty of but ls.—(hear, hear.) This is a very great defect, and I must say, without pledging myself to any specific alteration, that I should be happy to sec a more regular scale, should be glad if we possessed a sliding ditty, in preference to the present jumping duty. I think it 3 would be a very desirable thing to regulate these duties so as to have a maximum and minimum duty. Whatever that maximum duty might be, it should be levied when the price reaches 50s ; the mini mum should be levied when the price reaches 655. By the present scale we undergo a great deal of obloquy from the superfluous protection which we receive. For instance, when the price falls as low as 505., the duty is 3Gs. Bd. ; at 40s. is 465. Bd. ; and at 365. is 535. Bd.; being actually more than the price of the corn. —(Hear, hear.) Now, this fact renders us liable to a great deal of obloquy. Here is 150 per cent. levied on the food of the country, without the agriculturist deriv ing any benefit. Now, it appears to me that when prices fall so low in this country as 505., 405., or 305., it arises not from an immense importation of foreign corn, which we, therefore, seek to check by an extrava gant duty, but from the great production that takes place in this country, and in these periods we are com peting with each other instead of with the foreigner.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) This is the reason why I contend for a maximum duty, whatever it may be, to be regulated and fixed from the very best official information we can receive, as to what is the lowest price it can be brought into the port of Hull or any other eastern port.—(Hear, hear.) In confirmation of what I have said, and of my views upon this subject, I have made it my business to ascertain the lowest average prices in any one year which have been returned since the passing of the present Corn-laws, and I have also ascertained in each year the lowest price at which corn could be sold in these ports from whence corn is imported in periods of scarcity. I find that in 1833 the average s. d.l In 1835. s. d. In England was ... 49 6ln England Dantzic 26 0, Dantzic 2O 0 Rotterdam 26 0; Rotterdam 26 0 Hamburgh In 1834. In 1836. England Dantzic Rotterdam 3O 0 Rotterdam 29 7 Hamburgh Now, supposing that even the very lowest possible maximum duty was imposed, a duty of say 205., and I merely give this supposing it to be impossible that good corn could be imported under 365., how should we have stood in these years of abundance and low prices? Why, I find that with 20s. duty, and allowing Gs. for freight, in surance, profit, &c., the account would have stood thus:— Allow 20s. duty and 6s. freight. Eng. s. Dan. s. d. Rot. s. d. Ham. s. d. 1833 -. 49 _. 52 0 -. 52 0 -. 51 0 1834 -. 40 .- 51 0 -. 56 0 -. 47 0 1835 -. 36 ._ 46 0 .- 52 9 -. 46 9 1836 36 . . 47 10 -. 55 7 .- 47 1 This table will at once show that we only secure to our selves obloquy by the present extravagant duties levied on low prices. Of course the amount of maximum duty, whether 205., 255., or even 305., could only be fixed after consulting official documents and obtaining the very best information on the subject.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") These are the reasons which justify me in coming to the conclusion that a certain maximum duty, at a certain point, to be imposed in relative proportion to the price at which good foreign corn can be bought in foreign ports, will afford us ample protection, and at the same time get rid of the useless high duty which is the cause of so much misrepresentation and calumny. I say that you must take the price at which good corn can be bought in the foreign market, because the cost of con veying corn from Hamburgh, &c., is not much, if any, more than the cost of sending it by canal from one part of our country to the other ; and I say good corn, because, having lived on the Continent, I have seen good corn, but have also seen some that would never be pur chased for food in this country. I will now trouble you with a few observations on the descend ing scale of duties. The pivot duty is 1/. ss. Bd. at 625. For a time the scale slides down gra dually ; but the great encouragement to gambling and fraud is in the fact that the rise of only 3s. in the returned averages from 71s. to 735. makes a difference in the duty of no less than 105. Bd.—(Hear, hear, hear.) No iv, as I said before, I think, for the permanent and satisfactory settlement of this question, it should be your desire to make as great a concession as you can, in order that we may secure a permanent Corn-law, and rid ourselves of the reckless agitation now so rife. On the question of these laws let us satisfy all sober-minded men, men of rational views, whether they be connected with agriculture, manufactures, or commerce. I know it is impossible to satisfy the Corn-law League, or the members and allies of the late Administration, but I do believe that if we look into this question calmly and dis passionately, and reform whatever is amiss, that we shall satisfy all the rational and sober-minded portion of the community.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever the maximum duty should be will depend upon the result of search ing inquiry, but I think that if there were a minimum duty of ss. when the price rises to 655. it would satisfy all.—(Hear.) This would be a great concession to the con sumer, because I find that the present duty at 665. is 21s. Bd. ; but you must bear in mind that you would have a consi derage advantage in getting rid of the fictitious mode of taking the averages, which now only benefits the Jew speculators of the Continent and of this country, for on the Continent the corn trade is entirely in the hands of the Jews. By granting the great concession of lowering the scale, you would identify the interest of the consumer with the producer ; and although by this concession you might possibly relinquish a share of your profit, yet you must recollect that there would not be the same temptation to fraud, and the same inducement for people of dishonest character and habits to enter into the trade ; the business would assume a more regular character, there would not be immense masses of corn locked up in bond, to be let loose all at once upon the country upon a rise of prices. Thus, taking all mat ters into consideration, I believe that you would, from the settlement of the question, and the destruction to a great extent of fraud, derive more permanent benefit from a fixed minimum duty of ss. at 655., than you now do with the present scale.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that every man who hears me would be willing to allow the poor consumer to reap the benefit of the great improvements which have taken place in agricul ture.—(Cries of " Hear, hear s " and cheers.) When I say that I might be satisfied with a minimum duty of ss. at 655., I mean that it should be the minimum; but if we are to go on, and the scale is to descend to ls. at 705., then I would contend that ss. at 655. is not sufficient. — (Hear, and cheers.) I should rather be disposed to go for 10s. at 655., and then as the price rises to 70s. the duty to fall 2s. for every rise . of Is. With respect to the maximum, I cannot, as . I have before said, say whether it ought to be 205., 255., or 30 5 ., unt il I have positive and authentic information as to the quantities and the prices at which such quantities could be imported from abroad; but with respect to the minimum, I will say that I had m of u l e o h s. ra a t t h 6 e s r s s . e r e ec a e d d u in t g y duty and t o o f s i s s. . l a e t vie 7 d os t . i_ 4 t 6ussc.art,hbaenaar, cheers.)
