SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE changes in a few minutes, without trouble, red, or grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, .&c., to a dark brown or black, by simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; one application will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour it imparts to the hair , can never be discovered to have been effected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and neither washing. perspiration. or anything will in the least fade or affect the colour produced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own became grey, wear now their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen who had grey or red whiskers, which was a great disfigurement, have become quite dark from the use of SPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gentleman may dye their Hair with ease and secrecy in a few minutes without trouble. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s. per bottle.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences. social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement.

ATTACK ON COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.- An attack was made on Friday last on two commercial travel lers, near Hermain, an extensive ironwork within seven miles of Merthyr Tydvil. It appears that Mr. Rolling, from Bristol, questioned a lot of lads who were playing before the inn, if any of them were Chartists,- one of them, with some show of spirit, replied, " what. if they were, it was nought to him." Rolling replied, if they were Chartists they ought to be hung up like sheep. This was all that. passed, and the circumstance was forgo ten ; and a little before night set in the two travel lers, in a gig, started for Merthyr. They had not pro ceeded far, when they obrtrved a number of bo3s and men evidently awaiting their approach. They noticed that one or two were provided with sticks, but not contemplating an attack, they drove on. When within a few yards of the party, onu of the men advanced, and seizing the horse by the head, called his fellows to come on. Mr. Dixon asked what it was they wanted, when the spokesman of the party, pointing to Mr. Rolling, with a few oaths, ex plained that they had come pumposely to make him unsay that which he had said about the deserts of the Chartist body, Mr. Rolling was about to reply, when he received a blow from behind on the head, which knocke.l off his hat into the road. Rolling immediately leaped out of the gig to re cover his hat, when the leader of the party, quitting the horse's head, tripped up his heels, and struck him as he was falling. Mr. Rolling is a very powerful man, and with great determination of purpose and presence of mind, seeieg the horse's head was free, he sprang to his feet, and seizing the astonished Chartist round the middle, threw him across the bottom of the gig, calling at the same time for Mr. Dixon to drive on. Mr. Dixon imm-distely applied the whip, leaving the astonished Chartists to follow in useless pursuit. Mr. Rol ling being a much more muscular man than his antagonist,' succeeded in keeping him down, and when this aspirer for liberty found his struggles were useless he counterfeited intox ication The ruse. however, was of no avail ; they brought him to Merthyr, and he is now fully committed for the out rage. Mr. Rolling suffered but little from the two blows he received, but during the struggle in the gig he received a bite on his thumb, the marks of which will descend with him to his grave. We regret to announce the decease of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, Bart., which took place on Monday afternoon at Sunbrook Park. Sir Robert had been for some time in a very precarious state of health, but his medical attendants had not antiepated so early a termination of his illness. When actively engaged in pubic life, Sir Robert's chief endeavours were directed to telieve the dis tresses of the lab , uring classes by means of emigration ; indeed, he was. the first person who, called public attention to the happy effects that might be produced throughout the overpopulated parts of the empire by enabling the poor to seek in our colonies that market for their industry, which could no longer be provided at home.

DOWN WITH MONOPOLY! LONDON HAS DONE ITS DUTY ! GUILDHALL CORN-LS* MEETING. In pursuance of a requisition very numerously and re spectably signed, addressed to the Lord Mayor, a meet ing of the electors of the City of London took place yester day, at the Guildhall, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the existi ng C orn l aws, an d preparing an ad dress-to Parliament on the subject. At a few minutes past one o'clock, the Lord Mayot!, Thomas Johnston, Esq., entered the hall, and was received with loud and general cheering. There were loud calls for Sir Matthew Wood, who presented himself to - the meeting, and was greeted with much applause, as was also Mr. Crawford, M.P, The hall was densely .crowded, and on the plat form were several of the most influential merchants and traders of the city. -., - Among the gentleman :on the platform we observed James Morris, H. Prescott, C. P. Grenfell, Ralph Ri cardo, Esqs., Directors of the Bank..of England ; Greg son, Larpent, Gladstanes, Benjamin Wood, Esq., M.P., W. Wilkinson, C. Perkins, Sir M. Wood, M.P., George Grote, M.P., W. Crawford,' M.P., J. Pattison, M.P., M. Forster, H. Travers, John Dillon, W. M. Christy, H. Ashiirst, Wansey, Fearon, D. Richardson, Heppel, Amory, Col. Bristow,•Norman, Hawes, Sturt, Nicholson, Brown, Wire, Prevost, T. H. Hall, R. Taylor, J. Robert son, Cumming,.J. Pease, M.P., Prendergast, &qrs. &c.. The Lonn•Mkron said he held in his hand a requisi tion numerously and respectably signed fbr the present meeting, to consider the subject of the Corn4aws and I to prepare, if the meeting thought proper, an address 'Ton the subject.—(Loud cheers.) ''"The Coeif,laws were of importance not only, to ;the whole kingdom, and he had no doubt. -that whatever was-done by the Legislature and the Government would be .for the benefit of the whole community.—(Cheers.) In the diScussion that was about to take place he hoped and trusted that everything would be amicably conducted, and when it had terminated that they would separate in peace and good will towards all men.—(Loud cheers.) Ile would now call upon the town cryer to read the re quisition. • - The requisition having been road, JOHN DiLLON, Esq., came forward to move the first resolution. It had been asked "Why do you propose an alteration in the . Corn-laws ?". His answer was that they wished for an alteration because they wanted bread for the people--(Loud cheers) —they wanted employment for them that they might earn bread for themselves. — (Cheers.) Not the bread of poverty and pauperism, but the wholesome bread of honest industry—that best of out-door relief that enlightened laws could confer upon industrious man to enable him to earn bread for himself. —(Much cheering.) , They wanted markets for their manufactures, for if they did not take the produce of other countries, they would not take the manufactures of England in return.—(Hear, hear.) They wanted re lief from taxation, and therefore they wished to increase the trade and commerce of the country to be effected by free and enlightened legislation. They wanted steady prices, and not a recurrence of those drains upon their gold and silver, and therefore they wished to do away with the graduated scale, and not add the chance of gambling to the fair risks of trade.—(Cheers.) Above all, they wanted a free and enlightened system of com mercial intercourse between nation and nation, and if they wished to gain that object they must set an ex ample by being en li g ht e ned in their commercial policy.. —(Loud and general cheering.) The present were times of great difficulty--,-they were times of new difficulty, and they Must be met by new measures, and an improved course of policy. Every man asked what was to be done by way of remedy. One said, support commerce, another said support trade, another said support the agricultural interest, anot her saidsupport theCorn-laws,tke s ugardu ties, the timber duties, or the silk duties, and some men advo cated the East India, whilst others insisted that the West India interest should be supported. But there was an interest above them all, because it included them all—the interest of the people.—(Great cheering.) As to the protection of, trade, and commercial interests; let every trade and dais support and protect itself, and then all would be protected.—(Hear, hear.) They had long since passed the limits of wealth and population by which they could by any possibility remain a purely agricultu ral country. They were now in difficult circumstances, and they must meet these difficulties by a liberal altera tion in the existing laws of the country.—(Cries of I " Hear, hear.") If a duty must be laid on corn, let it be a certain and fixed duty—a duty of which at all times they would know the worst and the.-best— not a mere speculating gambling duty.—(Cheers.) A celebrated statesman had said in the House of Com mons that he wished for a slippery or sliding scale; that he did not wish for a fixed duty, but a sliding one.— (Hear.) Now the people wanted a fixed rule to guide them in all cases. —(Cheers.) It was impossible for him on the present occasion to enter,intp an 0111101-ate state ment of the evils which floweerfrOm a graduated scale of duty, but he would bring forward an argument which, as a commercial city, they would easily understand. Speak ing of a tax up n corn, they were all aware that a tax upon imports was an addition to the price—it made the article dearer, and when . a man imported corn, the price at which he would be able to sell it was uncertain, but the buying price, the mannfiicturing price, was ge nerally certain except in the case of corn. Thus the fluctuations in price made the buying price" as well as the selling price uncertain at the same time.—(Hear, hear.) 'A man imported corn, because he apprehended a scarcity ; but, in the meantime, the market fell. The Consequenee was that he lost by the sale, and at the same time the duty rose, and he lost by the duty. It was like being hit 'with both ends of .the stick.—.(" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) That system was most unfair and unjust, and to the farmer it was very often injurious.— (Hear, hear.) An enormous quantity of foreign corn rushed in when the d u ty was l o w, and then, if therewas a plentiful harvest, it was a curse to. the farmer, and he was actually ruined by the bounty of Heaven.--(Hear, hear.) But it was said if the Corn-laws were altered, the agricultural interests would be ruined. He begged to deny that posi tion. Let the agriculturalists do as the manufacturers had done—let'them improve their processes of production, let them become more economical in their management, and meet the foreign•competition in the market.—(Cheers.) It should be remembered that the demand for the supply of the English market would raise the price of foreign corn, so that its price would be much higher than at present. The proposition of the Government was to lay a fixed duty of Bs. on all foreign corn, and it had been shown from calculations that had been made that all the corn imported' since 1828 paid an average duty of ss. 9d. only, so that the proposed duty was actually more than the average duty paid since 1828. —(Cheers.) Another reason that had been urged against the alteration of the existing daty was rather a singular one—it was that they would not be able, to go to war if the duty on corn was taken off.—(Laughter.) His simple remedy for that was, let them remain at peace, and, better still, let them make it the interest of other na tions by taking' their produce, to remain at peace with England. That was the practical view 'of the subject. (Cheers.) It has often bem said of them that they were theorists, but he repelled the charge-,it was the advocates of the Corn-laws and other monopolies who were the theorists, and not those who advocated the in terests of free trade. The only chance and hope of safety in the present circumstance Was in calling forth the full energies of the nation. He had already said that they were surrounded by great difficulties—they had a greatly increased population, with a narrow tract of ter ritory for their support.—(Cties of " Hear, hear.") They had a heavy debt, while the world was in rivalry against them ; and it was only by the power of their own right hands that they could rescue themselves from the position in which they were placed. He a.4ted them would they tamely submit to have their right hands tied behind them ? (Loud cries of "No, no.") Let them all demand with 'one voice to be free, and there was little doubt as to the result of the struggle.—(Cheers.) For himself, he 'was proud of his country—she was great among the nations of the earth for her industry—great for her science and knowledge —great for her sobriety, temperance, and all qualities that were calculated to maintain that important position.—(Cheers.) But let it be remembered that they were great, not in consequence of their restriction and protection syStem, but pleat in spite of it.—(Vehement cheers.) Let the people get full scope . for the exertion of their energies—let them remove every restriction and prohibition—let every one labour . for the promotion and extension , of his capital in the means that seemed best to him—let 'all the restrictions on commerce be abolished, or as the, French phrase was, " laissons nous faire," and then w ou ld the people .of ,England show to all the nations of the earth the truth of the proverb, that " Heaven protects those who protect themselves."—(Much • cheering.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the first re solution, which was to the effect—" That a free and liberal policy. on the part of this country, particularly in those laws which affect its agriculture and its com merce, has become more tha n ever necessary, and that the th meeting highly hig c loilry-laws approves of the proposed alt erat i on in Corn-laws --(Cheers.) ' GEORGE LARPENT, E s q ., came forw ard to .second the . resolution. He would enter very briefly into the sub ject, as he felt that the ar g uments whi ch affected it had barnexhausted by the li on. Gen t l eman who had pre ceded him. But as he had h ims elf for many years takenan active part in that impor tant question —a questio n in teresting to every class, but above all to that c l ass w hi c h was now for the first time heard ofienli.4;_hur'e felt leg it isla tsii hipot ino duty tty t h T e T l classes comeu b joe forwardfc e t o h n a s d Consumers—(Hear, been e support u — fip p ( r ;s i o i tr e . t a r, of hear vital a propo sition. brought under their consideration in the year 'lB_s, at a meeting attended by the merchants, bankers , and o ther inhabitants of the City of London. The Right Honourable the pre sent Lord Mayor was then in the chair as now. On that occasion rese lutions condemnatory o f a fluctuating duty were all but unanimously ad o pt e d ; those resolutions having be en su pported by Mr. Th omas Wilson and Mr. Ward, the ir then Conservative represen tatives, as well as by anot her g e ntleman who had s i nce , ilefeared,ch , a h ng ea e r d ) his opinions—Mr. Ald erman Thomp son.—(HearThey had held a not h er meeting in -1 , 83 D, at which his friend Mr. John Horsley P a l mer . as sisted, who spoke in con'deMnation of a; " era duty on corn, as embarrassing our riorietary. trannietions-and causing repeated drains of the eurnney. Icle should serve, in conclusion that an alteration in the existing syStem would lead to an extension of our_ commerce and an exchange of our ;manufactures for the corn of other nations; to the great benefit of all classes of the commu nity.—(Cheers.) . The resolution was then put and carried amidst great cheers, with only five or six dissentients. J. l'itivott, Esq., came forward to propose a petition to Parliament founded on the preceding resolution. The subject then under their consideration, he did not hesitate to say, was one of the most important ever discussed in this country. They all felt that the present laws were a disgrace to a free land.--(Hear.) What else could he say of any of these laws which deprived the multitude o: a sufficiency of daily' bread—which left the labourer without employment—which cramped the energies of , the whole nation—which placed property al together in a false positiort—and which were now, by starving a large portion "of our manufacturers, driv ing the people to the very verge of despair and rebellion ?—(Hear, and cheers.) There was a feature, in the times particularly worthy of observation, and that was the fixed determination on the part of the people to amend not only the Corn-laws, but every other bad law which depressed and degraded the many, for the benefit of the few.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He hailed with delight the appearance of such a deter mination on "the part of the p-ople, and he trusted they would persevere in their efforts for the improvement of their moral and social condition.—(Cheers.) They should study to foster that spirit, and to give it a right direction.—(Cheers.) If they did not get rid of all those bad laws, the social structure would be shaken to its basis.—(Cheers.) Was it not surprising that those whose interests would' be the first affected by any convul sion, should continue to be the last to endeavour to apply any remedy ?—(Cheers.) Did the nobility recol lect the French Revolution—(Cheers)—and the events which had preceded it ? The aristocracy of France at that time held in their hands all thetand of France. They had engrossed the whole of them, and what use had they made of their monopoly ? The first cry of that Revolution had been, " Down with the aristocrats, and bread for our starving families."—( Loud cheers.) Was the present state of the country far from it ? Were there not thousands in this country starving.— (Cheers.) It had been said that the present was an un due agitation. Now how were they to act except by agitation when anything like concession to their wants and wishes was resisted ?—(Cheers.) Agitation was in his opinion one of the finest words in the English lan guage.(Cheers.) It was a word that kept bad men in awe, and was the safeguard of our liberties.—(Cheers.) Let them recollect that the hand of sympathy was now held out to them from high quarters.—(Loud cheers.) Let them seize the hand so held out to them.—(Loud cheers.) For his own part, he was for the total aboli tion of all laws which imposed a tax upon human food.— (Cheers.) The present, however, was a good measure, and it would lead to a greater ,good.—(Loud cheers.) He believed that some such measure was ab solutely necessary for the salvation of the country. — (Cheers.) He moved that petitions founded on the re solutions they had been so wise—(Cheers)--,as to pass, be presented to both Houses of Parliament.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. MILLER CRISTY seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously amidst the loudest cheering. Mr. C. PERKINS said the next step for them to take, was to consider to whom their petition ought to be con fided for presentation to Parliament. It should be entrus ted to the hands of one possessed of energy and principle enough to do the subject justice. And to whom could they confide better than to their old, tried, respected, and ever to be esteemed representative Sir Matthew Wood ? When the Reform Bill was first brought forward, the city of London took the lead in returning four gentlemen who were Reformers, and three of them were now acting with Sir M. Wood.—(Cheers.) He . therefore moved that Sir M. Wood be requested to present, and Messrs. Grote, Crawford, and Pattison be requested to support, the petition.—(Cheers.) He proposed this cheerfully, but not confidently, because he feared that as Parliament was at present constituted, their petition would not meet with that respect to which the petitions of the people were entitled. But he 'hoped they were on the eve of a general election, and if the people of England did not do their duty to themselves by returning men who were op posed to the Corn-laws, they would deserve to have their petitions treated with disrespect.—(Loud cheers.) They had their eye upon a great and distinguished orna ment of the cause of freedom.—(Loud and long-con tinued cheering. When the cheering ceased there was an attempt made to raise the cry of the Poor-law in one corner of the hall, which, however, was instantly drowned with renewed cheering.) It was the first time in the history of the country, that the Ministers of the Crown had been with the people.--, (Loud cheers.) If they did not succeed now, when would they ?—(Loud cheers.) The landed interest had no right to complain of the people ; they were now ap proaching that interest in a spirit of conciliation ; they were offering them protection. During the existence of the present Corn.law, 12,000,000 of quarters of-corn had been imported into this country at an average rate Of duty of ss. 9d. per quarter ; they now offered them Bs., and the fact that 12,00q,000 of quarters of wheat had been imported, proved that the landed proprietors could not grow wheat sufficient for the wants of the country.—(Cheers.) The fact was, the landed interest (lid not want protection, they wanted the total exclusion of foreign corn.—(Loud cheers.) The present Corn-law was merely intended to throw dust in the eyes of the people—it was intended to exclude corn system atically—(Cheers) and its effect was, that after the landholders had sold us all the corn at the very highest price ; they handed us over to the foreigner to sell us his corn at the same rate.(Loud cheers.) The present system of Corn-laws threw the Bank of England into difficulties, crippled the currency, - and produced 'the greatest distress among the people. All the evils which they had been recently suffering were, he verily believed, the consequences of these unholy enactments. Let them rouse their energies and take care to return only such men to Parliament as would support the in terests of the bulk of the country, rather than any class interests whatever. He begged to propose that Sir M. Wood be requested to present the petition to the House of Commons, and that Messrs. Grote, Craw ford, and Pattison, be requested to support it.—(Cheers.) Mr. PRENDERGAST came forward to second the reso lution, and said that he would entreat the consideration of the meeting, as he was not accustomed to public speaking. He had never before the opportunity of ad dressing so numerous an assemblage, and the situation in which he then found himself was somewhat embar rassing. In seconding the resolution he felt it necessary to say but very few words, in consequence of the very able and intelligent manner in which the ques tion had already been discussed in that hall. The present question was well understood already. The attention of the people had been drawn to it now lot four years ; and, therefore, the proposal made in the House of Commons was not treated as a new question, but as one which already had received the as sent of the people of England. They knew full well the principle on which it was based, and they were, therefore, ready to give their assent to the pro posal.—(Hear, hear.) They had been told that that resolution would benefit only: some particular classes of the community. Wouldbit not, he would ask, benefit the whole community ? Would it not benefit the manu facturing classes ? Would it - not benefit the trading —would it not benefit the agricultural classes of the com munity ? He would ask them, would it not benefit them all, by giving them a fair, steady, remunerat ing price for the article brought into the market, instead of a fluctuating price, which might be good for some individuals, but was certainly ruinous' to all classes generally,—to the agriculturists and to the country at large ?—(Cheers.) It had been said that a more monstrous proposal was never entertained, but they had never heard it once said that the proposition would not benefit the working classes, that is, that a proposal to make bread cheap would not benefit the great bulk of the con- , sumers of bread—an assertion so monstrous certainly was never beard. They had been told that wages were regulated by the price of corn, and that the present proposal would have the effect of diminishing wages. ---L(Hear, hear.) The working classes of Eng land were too intelligent to be gulled—should he say gulled—(Cheers) —to be humbugged—(Cheers)— by such assertions. The price of corn had been going on increasing for some time past, but had wages been in consequence increased ?—(Cries of " No, no.") If that were So, it was clear. that the price of wheat did not re gulate the rate of wages. He would then again ask, whe ther the present alteration of the Corn-laws would not benefit trade, and if so, would it not increase employ ment, and would it not in consequence increase the demand for labour ? and if so, would not the demand for wages be increased.—(Cheers.) They had been told various in terests were embarked in those branches of commerce, to which the proposition of Government referred, and that they ought to study those interests. The Canada People had a great quantity of bad timber, and they said, if you lower the duty on good timber how shall we-sell our bad timber ?—(Hear.) What answer could any man—could Lord John Russell make to that statement ? He might say, endeavour to per suade the people to take the bad timber ; if they won't take it, lower the price, and if they do not take it all, why, he may say, lam sorry that there is nothing but good timber used from one end of the kingdom to the other.—(Cheers.) Then comes the corn. The landlords will say there are great quantities of bad land in England. Well, then, but the whole land of England is not bad. Is it not so?—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") Well, then, there is some bad land not fit to grow corn. Why, then, the answer to that should be, do not grow corn upon it.—(Cheers.) Bring to the market only what the land will produce.-L(Cheers.) Another would say you are going to make sugar cheap and bring cheap sugar iuto the country-2--(Cheers)—and what should he do if his sugar was dear ? The answer to him would be, lower the price of it—(Cheers)—but if he could not lower the price of it he must think of some other article to bring into the market. They had been told, indeed, that all these interests would be injured, and that on the other hand other interestswould not be benefit e d. Why only yesterday 80 , 0 0 0 Teetotallers a ssem bl e d i n they drank tea—tea was s weetene d b y sugar. 'The- people then would h ave t h e i nterest t ) otalleri with them.—(Loud c h eers.) Th ere Lon— w o f(t s Chd an ehoenT ot eee -_(Cheers.) The interest also with them—those who would net dirk tea---the bra.ridy-and-wate r interest, which used sugar,--(Cheers and laughter.) Thus they had PRICE 5d the temperance and the drinking interest with them. Lord John Russell had been pleased to say that he was aware they should have the Canada, the West India, and the East: India, and the landed interest against them. but there was one interest, which they would admit was one of some importance, the eating and the drinking in terest, with them.—(Cheers and laughter.) He (Mr. P.) hoped they would show them that all these numberless interests, : powerful as they were, could not compete with the eating and the drinking interest, which would beat them altogether.—(Cheers.) Under those circuntstances they couid not do better than join heart and hand in the present good cause. Whatever they were, whether Tories, Whigs, or Chartists, tempe rance men or drinking men, he hoped they would all join in 'their common interest. It was the ;merest of all the subjects of this realm from the man of immense capital to the man who had no capital but the labour of his hands. Let them all then unite and resolve to support Ministers, who were deter mined to support the people in their good cause. Before he sat . down, he would beg leave to tell them that the petition lay for signature at the bottom of thP Hall, and he trusted that every man present would sign it.—(Loud cheering.) • Mr: DILLON then read the petition. The question was then put from the Chair, and car rigid neat. con. • Sir MATTHEW WOOD then came forward, and was re ceived with loud cheering. When the applause had somemhat subsided, the Hon. Baronet said that he had always great pleasure in meeting his constituents, and particularly on such an occasion as the lie sent, when he .found- them so unanimous —(Loud cheers)—and when they requested him and his colleagues to support a petition to the House of Commons, the 'ob jects mentioned in which be had always endeavoured to carry forward. (Cheers.) He was always opposed to the Corn-laws, and at all times did every thing thing in his power both before and since he liad - -been in the House to repeal and abrogate those laws altogether.— (Loud cheers.) If he should still have the honour of a seat in the House—(Loud cheers, and cries of " You shall, you sh a ll")— a t th e ti me when this great question would be decided, he trusted he would be found acting in conformity with the views and wishes of the people. — (Cheers.) Since the day when they had first received nun in their arms, he scarcely recollected, numerous as had been the times which he had appeared before them, a period at which there was so much ground for satisfaction as the present.----(Loud Cheers.) All parties had agreed on the necessity of a change, and the question now was only who should bring for ward the measure of alteration.—(Cheers.) The Con servative party had said " Let Sir Robert Peel come into offide, and we will vote for the repeal of the Corn laws. It was a great question whether they could trust them or not—(Cheers and laughter)—however, whe ther they could or not, he believed the question would be carried to effect which nothing would be wanting on his (Sir M. Wood's) part. The worthy Alderman then sat down amidst loud and long continued cheering.) Mr. GROTE (who was received with repeated cheer ing) said—My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, I shall have the greatest pleasure in executing the instructions which you have been pleased to give your representa tives on the subject of this important petition.—(Loud cheering)—l have already witnessed, on the subject of the Corn-laws, two long-continued and im portant debates in the House of Commons, and on these, my vote and humble powers of speech were not wanting to lent assistance to the cause, which is now saactione.d by so numerous and commanding an assem-. blage.—(Cheers.) Much as I rejoice to see the unani mity which now prevails amongst you, I still wish that it was so far interrupted by some of those gentlemen who in 1825 signed the petition which has been read to you, and who now sel cause to change their opinions —(Cheers and laughter)—for I think that the fallacy of their reasoning and the infinity of their arguments could easily be shown.—(Cheers.) The very . principle on which the Corn-laws are founded is to restrict each and every one of you from purchasing your food where you can get it best and cheapest—(Cheers)—on the principle - of pro tecting (as it is falsely called) one particular class—one particular body of producers, at the expense of the whole people—(Cheers)—and this' principle, whether in politics or in commerce, is the essence of injustice.— (Hear, hear.) I hope, Gentlemen, when you hear the word " protection," which sounds both just and holy, but conceals both injustice and impolicy—(Hear, hear) — I hope when you hear of protection to the producers of corn, or of sugar, or of any other commodity, you will understand that it is an artful name for a new tax upon the industry of the people.—(Hear, hear.) We pay al ready heavy taxes to support the Government. 'But the ' more we pay to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the less we can afford to give the landowners.—(Cheers.) The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposes a fixed duty, and that shall have my most cordial support ; but I cannot conceal from you, that it does not effect all for the corn trade which I think ought to be done.—(Cheers.) The less the duty is made, . the better I shall be pleased, and I think the best plan of all is to have no duty at all.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) Gentleineti; in my opinion, a fixed duty of Bs. is much.to be pre ferred to the present system of what is called a sliding scale, which, as we all know very well, is nothing more than a system of gambling.—(Great cheers, and cries of " Nothing more.") But I hope, Gentlemen, we are not to look upon the duty as invested with the privilege of finality.—(Cheers, laughter, and cries of " No, no".) I hope we are to look upon it only ..ts a temporary expedient to secure them the transition fr - ozn the present system of monopoly, and framed to one of perfect free trade. But at the same time, gentlemen, I am ready to admit that under the mistaken and fallacNis system which is at present maintained, some interessts have grown - up, which it would be cruel at one bh , w to cut down. Then there has been encouraged a sysOm of cultivating wheat in this country which owes its exiL,tehce altogether to the Corn-laws, and we owe it to those' who have been induced by our laws to embark in it ; we should take a careful course in proceeding to the establish:nent of a free trade.—(Hear.) I think, Gentlemen, it is a g at thing that we have once obtained a recognition of the principle of free:trade in corn ; but I repeat that we must .VProach to a total abo lition of restriction by careful sleps. The present Corn-law acts imperiously, not mere ty on the food and comforts of the working classes, and reS, 4 ricts them in the market for.the necessities of life, but it re.%tricts the field for their employment in every line of indtotry—(Hear, hear, hear)—and they cripple, embarrass, and con fine the resources of our trade with the most important regions of the world.---(Loud cheering.) Now, Gentlemen, let any man compare the differenca of comfort and happiness which the induste.ious poor en joyed in 1835, when wheat was 40s. the quorter, and in 1839, when it was 80s.—(Hear, hear.) On this point I feel that you, as the members of the gseatest leading community in the world,—as of this vast metropolis of London, which is the miNt of European, Ameridan, and Asiatic commerce. I feel thai you have a deep interest in this question ; and if the trade -of your vast city could be still more enlarged and extended, as it would be by those reformations in the tariff, it would be a blessing not only to you and to the whole country, but to the whole commer cial world, and to all civilised mankind.—(Vehement cheering.) It is not only to the aggregate interest of that community to which I belong, in heart as much as by birth, the proposed measures of the Government will be a benefit.—(Cheers.) But they are especially calculated to benefit the important community which has three times honoured me with its confidence and sent me to Parliament to express its wishes and to defend its rights—(Loud cheers)—and when this ques tion comes before the House of Commons, as it must come in a very few days, I will support the pro positions of her Majesty's Government, as I can state that in doing_ so I represent the sentiments as truly as •I advocate the interests of my constituents. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst tremendous and reite rated cheering. Mr. W. CRAWFORD said it would give him unfeigned pleasure to give every support i n hi s p ower to the ob ject of the petition. The views they had heard x" presscd that day were those whi c h he had always pro fessed,e and which he had first declared at a meeting in the city of London in th e year 1825. He adhered to those opinions, and he entirely concurred in what had fallen from his Hon. Friend, Mr. Grote, par ticularly in that part of hi s speech which looked to the ultimate abolition of the Corn-laws,—(gear, in the mean time h e wou ld be content hear.) But with such a change as it might seem prudent to introduce . On that subject he advocated no fi na lity.—(ue , r, hear.) They could not maintain the position which this country now held with out a very considerable change in its commercial policy. He had been thirty-e years engag e d i n g e nera l trade, and had had extensive opportunities of fo r ming an opi nion upon_ the subct ; and he . assured them on his honour the belief he then expressed as to the necessity of a change had been always deeply impressed upon his mind.—(H ear .) H e h a d feare d , i n d ee d, that the time wou ld not arr i ve so soon as it had, f or t h e pub lic consideration of the question. He had feared that a great change in respect to the Corn-laws would only have been forced upon the country by suffering, dearth, and distress ; that then, and not till then, could the aristocracy be compelled to adopt the c ourse which the interests of the country required.—(Hear, hear.) He attributed in a great measure the present state of public opinion to the digest of the evidence taken some time ago before the Import Duties Committee of the House of Commons, whose labours were, he believed, I owing to the good sense and the suggestion of his Hon. Friend, Mr. Hume. That digest had been so extensively circulated through the country, that he himself knew one northern town, where 12,000 copies of it had been sold. When he had read that evidence, although he was not disposed to go the whole length to which it would lead, still he was Satisfied that the influence of such a publi cation could not be withstood, and that in carrying out 'a more liberal principle of commercial policy, we would necessarily lay the axe to the root of the present system of Corn-laws. That was a conclusion which appeared to him undoubted from the moment he had first given jiis se rious attention to the evidence taken. He was persuaded that the time was ,near at hand. when thp of which many of them - were witnesses, of t it growing ri valry of us on the pa rt of forei g n manufacture r s in tho:.-e markets. which hart once been exclusively our own: should -be met if? a more liberal system of policy.

New edition, revised and corrected by an Experienced Practical Dyer and Calico Printer. London : Printed for Thomas Tegg, No. 73, Cheapside. qt:g)tec. pate with other nations, could secure to us not only our present position, hnt any extent of trade compatilPle with the .prosperity of the Countey. it had been ailegea that various interests would. be injured by any alteration in the Corn-laws, but in his conscience he believed- that no interest was susceptible of any injury except that of the landlords, and even upon that subject he had Ulan . ) , doubts.—(Hear, hear.) It had been attempted to im pose upon the minds of the tenants of England upon the question, and to persuade them that their interest and those of the landlords were mixed up together. The landlords, howeVer, were altogether like the ow ners o f houses—they • looked to the largest rent they could themselves obtain.—(Cries of " Hear; hear.") r He re gretted they were not met that day by those who advocated the present system, but he believed that Were many weeks, perhaps not many days, they would have an opportunity of seeing some of those gentlemen on the hustings—(Hear)—and then let them ask their suf frages to go to' the House of Commons to retain • the present system ,of Corn-laws.. He did not conceive it possible that gentlemen who could look wisely et the commercial interests of this country could maintain that this system had not already too long Continued. JAMES PArrisos, Esq., M.P., said he would not, de tain them long, as their patience must now be nearly exhausted ; but he promised them that he would do his duty to his constituents, and support the prayer of their petition to the best of his power.—(Cheers.) .NoJudi vidual felt more keenly than he did on the subject. So long as he recollected anything, he bad been a de cided opponent of the present Corn-laws,,and since lie had represented them in Parliament, he had always voted against them, and even in favour of their total repeal. — (Loud cheers.) He believed that the • lower the duty was, the better it would be for all parties, and he would illustrate that by a remark. of Earl Spencer's, who said that lie knew that the agricultural interests required no protection, and more, that they desired none, at least so far as he (Earl Spen cer) wit- concerned.--k Cheers.) It rested with them to carry into effect the great changes proposed by Go vernment—a Change which did not Meet all his wishes, but which he took us an inst: iment for something more to come hereafter.—(Cheers.) The present was merely the commencement of the eh: ages in the policy of the country, and he only hoped hia countrymen would back the views of the Government, and, by . sign'tg the petition numerously, 'give it that effe..t in both Houses of Parliament to which it was entitkd.(Hear.) He would only add that the seed was sown ; it was . for them to reap the cent. It, rested with them,to do their duty, and let them not fear but that the corn 1%-ot:hi in that case be, well housed, and that they would have cheap bread and universal prosperity.—(Much cheering.) Aldermanliir MarruEw WOOD then moved a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, for his readiness in calling the meeting, and for his impartiality in presiding over it. Mr. GROTE came forward to second the motion. He could recollect that in former times Lord Mayors of London used often to make great objections to call the citizens together, requiring that the subjects for which meetings were called should be conformable to their own opinions, before they allowed theM to be held.—(Hear, hear.) Those times, however, were now gone by, and the worthy gentleman who at present filled the chair, had set a most laudable example, by his readiness in calling them together, which he hoped would in future be imitated. He rejoiced to find the kindness and the obliging readiness of the Lord. Mayor had been so well justified by the becoming con duct of every one present at the discussion of so import ant a subject.(Cheers.). The vote of thanks was then put, and declared. by Sir Matthew Wood to be carried unanimously amidst loud cheers. The LORD MAYOR then came forward, and said that he felt under a great obligation to them for the hand some manner in which they had received the vote which Sir M. Wood and Mr. Grote had been kind enough to pro pose. He had not had sufficient opportunities to address them to induce him to hope that his voice could,be heard at the further end of the hall. He, therefore, would:not detain them longer than to thank them for their kindness and to say that if, during his year of service, he could in any manner benefit his country nothing could afford !urn grea'er pleasure. The meeting, having n 3 von three hearty cheers, and one cheer more for Lord Johnßusse", quietly separated. GREENWICH FAIR, the RIVER; &C. The annual Whitsuntide fair commenced on Monday. The same wonders, the same booths, shows, swings , roundabouts, and gingerbread-stalls, which have forined part of the fair for so many years, are there. Rik hard son's theatre, and Algar's dancing-booth, are in their old situations. The people were vastly delietted with the grand melo-drama and pantomime at the forwer place, and the lovers of dancing at Algar's immense booth, though not quite so graceful in their move ments as Taglioni and Cerito, displayed a good deal of agility and perseverance in tripping, it from morn to night, with the thermometer at 90 degrees. The Park and the fair were ex cessively crowded. Every * year the visitors are more numerous than the last, a circumstance which may, in a great measure, be attributed to the curtailment of the suburban fairs. It is impOssible to give anything like an accurate account of the number of people, but there is no doubt that more than 200,000 persons visited Green wich during the day. The trains on the railway were running every quarter of an hour throughout the day, and the number - of passengers who proceeded to Green wich by. this conveyance could not have been less than 20,000, and more were brought back. But the most extraordinary scene was on the river. A great deal has been said frlin time to time about the overcrowd ing of the steamers during - tik holidays, and the reck less cupidity of steam-boat proprietors, who, in defiance of the public safety, and regardless of the comforts of the passengers, cram their vessels in a very alarming manner. yesterday the wharfs were besieged with people, and steamer after steamer carried away the Lon doners by hundreds and thousands. Some vess , ls were packed with 500 human beings, others with 1,000, and a few of the larger ones with 1,400 and 1,500 passen gers. There were not less than forty steamers em ployed in carrying the holiday folks to and from Green wich, and as they proceeded up and down the river they raised a tremendous swell ; the Thames was like a. rough sea all day, and viewing the steamers from the banks their appearance was terrific ; as the passengers walked, or rather moved, from one side to the other the steamers lurched, and frequently presented themselves with one paddle-box in the water and the other out of it. The heat was intolerable, and those standing on the top of the steam-chest, or near the funnel, were half broiled. The Royal Sovereign took down 1,400 person ages at one trip on Sunday, and yesterday those on board at one time exceeded that number. The watermen, whose boats used to be so much in requisition during the Easter and Whitsuntide holidays, are no longer thought of, and they looked idly on, bewailing the want of fares, and pondering on the mighty powers of steam. REPRESENTATION OF MARYLEBONE. A meeting, convened by the Marylebone Registration Asso ciation, was held on Monday night at Lawson's Rooms, Upper GOwer-street, for the purpose of con.idering what candidates ought to have the support of the Reformers of the borough at the next election fur Members of Parliament. Mr. Ba g shaw, the President of the A ssoc i a ti on , was una nimously voted to the Chair ; and immediately afterwards Commodore Sir Charles Napier came into the room, and was as usual greeted with the most enthusiastic and prolonged cheering, in which we observed three electors present, avowedly belonging to the " Conserva tive" part}, joined with grt at. cordiality. Mr. HOUGHTON, one of the churchwardens of St Pancras, :moved, and Mr. STOCK seconded, a resolution pledging the m eeting to promote by all possible exertions, the election of Sir Oenjamin Hall and Si r Ch ar l es N ap i er , to represen t this borougt:. in the next P ar li ament . The sei'eral speakers deprecated in strong terms the insidious attempt which is being made to let in two Tories by dividing the Liberal in t :erest, under pretence of supporting a gentleman, who kthey sin . ..d), however estimable in private life, had not convinced any .large number of the electors of Mary!ebone, that his political cons2stency is worthy of their confidence. The resolution was eoried by acclamation, there being but five hands held up against it by three Tories and two Chartists. The majority was 167. THE PRESIDENT STEAM SHIP. SATURDAY.—This morning Mr. 'Macgregor Laird, the managingdirecftroormormthesesrC.,.omtpanmery;orreceived the following communication pang's agents at Paris and Havre-de-Grace,,in reply an d Co t ., the om to a letter requesting them to make inquiry whether a steam-ship be longing to the French navy was likely to he izuising in lat. 29 deg. 29 min , longitude 40 de. , 28 *yin. on the 224 of April, the Portuguese brig Conde . de Palma. whicb arrived at Lisbon on the 6th inst., having reported to have seen a•very large steamer proceeding under canvas only, in that latitude at that date, and which might probably have been the missing President : •••Paris, May 27, 1841. Dear Sir,-1n compliance with yo ur request, our .'fir.Emerson has obtained an interview with the Secretaire des is the information Mouvemens de la Marine, and the following received :- 4 The only steamer belonging to the French navy that could be within or in the proximity of the tropic on the 22d of April is the Tonnerre, of 130-horse power and 600 tons. The last news from this steamer is of the Ist of January, a t which time she was ling in the Plata. She is supposed to have left there in March for i‘lartinique, where she would ob tain a supply of coals and continue h e r voyage inform ed homeward. She has not yet arrived i n France; we shall of her arrival, and be allowed to read the Journal du -.fiord to }me w if on the 22d of April she was in longitude 40..28, latitude 29 29, according to the report of the Conde de Palma,. re cently arrived at Lisbon.

This morning. the Managing Director of the Company . ( Mr. Laird) also received a letter, dated Friday, from their agent at Liverpool, but it does not contain any , tidings of th e r . sidTenhte.report in a Cork paper of a bottle said to have been picked up at sea, and containing a letter written b .Mr. Power, the o c f e t l h eb e ra p t r ed esid l e r n is t i: i c s o al m t e o di ge a t n h , er m di n ti m be e l n ie ta ve ri d ly . Neither date, expecting the latitude, nor longitude is given. _ _ Among those int erestea in the fate of the crew andpassengere on board the President, and who called at the Company ' s office in Billiter-court this afternoon, anxi•iusly inquiring if any intelligence had been received respecting her, was the eldest son of Mr. Power. Inquiries were also made on the part of his Grace the Duke of Richmond (whose second son, Lord Fitzroy Lennox, is a passenger), Mrs. Roberts, the wife of the Com mander. &c. The President had three months' rations on board when she left New York on the 11th of March; moreover, her cargo partly consisted of a large quantity of flour. SOUTHEND, MAY 30.--MELANCHOLY EVENT. —A distrebsing case of death from drowning occurred here this morning.
