We are given to understand that Dr. Lush ington, though he has published no contradic tion to our statement " that he is the owner of an estate in Jamaica," denies that to his friends and acquaintance. We must, therefore, now state, that we had the statement from unquestionable authority, and that if the estate be not his, he is very unfortunate in having the reputation of ownership, without the profit, for it is generally believed in 'Jamaica to be his. It is situated in the parish of Clarendon, and a person engaged on the estate, writing home to his mother, says, "I have got an employment on the estate be longing to the celebrated Dr. Lushington, of London." He then mentions his salary, and all the particulars, with which neither we nor the public have any concern ; but his mode of de scribing the proprietor of the estate as the cele brated Dr. Lushington, of London, leaves no doubt whatever as to the individual he means, nor as to his thorough and complete belief, by what means produced we cannot say, if his mas ter and the proprietor of the estate be . not Dr. Lushington. The letter which we have seen is a family letter ; it has no reference whatever to anything but family matters, and is such a letter as a young man, glad of a certain degree of success, would write to his friends. If Dr. Lushington deny the ownership in private, it is the more incum bent on us to state our authority, and require him to give it a public contradiction. No. 150 98, LONDON, MOMDAY, MAY 24, 1841.

THE FREE-TRADE CRISIS. (From the Derbyshire Chronicle.) Rights of sugar, rights of coffee, rights of timber, rights of corn, all manner of rights we hear of exoept. rights of man. But yet it strikes us, that amidst their profound regard for all sorts of rights, the Tories might have felt a little regard for these.. In pity also they are not deficient, compassionating the usurers of the West and East Indies, the monopolists of Montreal, and the negroes of Demerara, who live -upon such bad fare as roast fowls, bottled porter, and Champagne ; and yet they . have no pity for Englishmen, driven to live upon carrion. Their rebrard for our safety, too, mo st sen sitive. The colonies are in danger, the farmers are in danger, the aristocracy are in danger, the Church—{we never remember a time when she was not in danger)—all are taken into the careful consideration of th Tories (worthy souls !) except the danger of general starvation and ruin. A Form of the Tender may be seen at the said Office. No Tender will be received after One o'clock on the Day of Treaty, nor any noticed, unless the Party attends, or an Agent for him duly authorised in writing. Every Tender must be addressed to the Secretary of the Ad miralty, and bear in the left hand corner the words " Ten der for Lignum Vitae," and must also be delivered at So merset-place, accompanied by a Letter signed by a respon sible person, engaging to become bound with the person tender ing, in the sum of 200/. for the due performance of the Contract. rrt i be o 6sh Ivo be e° o furthe r n pric e „' comm on '26/ 15. 1(1 pric es firm ttt , pe it t , 4s 3 t 11. } -4a s In Palo or Ol i n b Span" OSTEND and BRUSSELS.

GEORGE HUTCHINSON HALL, Esq., Boroughreeve,' in the Chair. The following resolutions were passed unanimously : Moved by Mr. HOLLAN D HOOKE, and seconded by Mr. Rn- BERT GARDNER : That this meeting views with the deepest apprehension and alarm the intense misery and suffering of the labouring popula tion, consequent on the continued and unparalleled prostration of the trade of this district; and, therefore, calls up,ai the Le gislature to adopt such measures as will afford prompt and ade uate relief. Moved by Sir THOMAS POTTER, and seconded by Mr. THOMAS BAYLEY. That thi s meeting attributes the existing commercial embar rassment and distress chiefly to the operation of those unwise and unjust laws, whieh deny the right of the people to ex change produce of their labour for the necessaries of life pro duced in other countries, and which sanction the iniquitous monopolies in corn and other food. Moved by Mr. ROBERT CHADWICK, and seconded by Mr. WILLIAM HARVEY : jThat this meeting rejoices that the attention of her Ma. esty's Government has at length been directed to the amelio ration of the commercial restrictions, which are alike entailing ruin on the trading community. and causing destitution to the most ous extent to the working classes. Moved by Mr. WILLIAM LOCKETT, and seconded by Mr. That th e WILLIAM MORRIS:— following Petition to the House of Commons be tdoted, an d s i gned by the Boroughreeve and Constables, and to Y n t , h t e s lnha ,, b , itar i ts generally, and forwarded to Joseph Brother- T o M.

I nc Humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Borough of e Salford, in Public Meeting assembled, " he 'eth,—That viewing with the deepest apprehension and arm the intense misery and suffering of the labouring popu lation, consequent on the continued and unparalleled prostra : _ 10 , 1 . 1 of the trade of this district, your petitioners earnestly will attpori your Honourable House to adopt such measures as fford prompt and adequate reief. , 'bat your petitioner s attribute the existing commercial em oarrassment and distress chiefly to the operation of those unwise and unjust laws, which deny the right of the people to exchange th e produce of their labour for the productions of Other countries and which sanction the iniquitous monopolies In corn and other food. • That y our petinioners rejoice that the attention of her Ma ireessttyrlsoe Governme n t, has been directed to the modification of our laws, and that it desires to render our Customs' duties subservient to the revenue of the country, whereby our Zoinere e will be extended, and our industrious and produc vTclasses supplied with every necessary of life. thus Tour petitioners, therefore, herbmos humbly pray, that measures, leading to the removal of eat evils under which this eftrininity is so de e ply su ff er i ng , may no t b e ob s tru c t e d ; an d that your Honourable House will not pause in the career of op relioration in our commercial relations, until all protective f u ties and all monolies, especially those in corn and other Zod, are abolished. And they will ever pray, &c. moved by Mr. JAMES CHARLTON, and seconded by Mr. JAMES DILWORTH, That the following Memorial to her ost Gracious Majest the Queen be adopted, and signed by the the Chairman of , thisy Teeting The u T HE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. -sumble Memorial of the Inhabitants of the Borough of Salford. Sheweth,—That the industrious classes of this town and neigh rurhood have endured the most acute distress and deprivations T ail or a period of nearly four years, and that, from the continued r_geunparalleled prostration of the trade of this district, their ~..ringS are daily augmenting. I ,_' l e l s at the state of this community consequently causes your ty's memorialists the deepest apprehension and alarm. ex.lahast yo ur M a j esty ' s memorialists humbly believe that the % commercial embarrassment and distress arise chiefly front the operation of those unequal and impolitic laws, which ',vent the people of this country from exchanging the produce la their labou r for the productions of other countries, and more P ar ticularly from the u n j us t and cruel monopolies in corn and ether provisions. Your memorialists, therefore, humbly, but most earnestly, tray, that your Majesty will interpose the weight of your Loyal authority and prerogative, in smiling the immediate attention of Parliament to remedy the grievous evils under Which so great a portion of your Majesty's loyal and de voted subjects are now suffering. 14 " ell by Mr. ALEXANDER JACOB, and seconded by Mr. It.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. DOUBLE:PATENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND. PERRY and CO. having effected considerab:e improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a Secoru: Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which they have united with their First Patent, under the title of DOUBLE PA TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals, and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink stands was almost unprecedented.

LAUNCH OF THE THAMES. Thursday was a day of bustle at the quiet village of North fleet, it being the day fixed for the launch of the Thames, the first of four large steamers in course of building for the "Royal Mail Steam-packet Company," by the contractor, Mr. Pitcher. The morning was lowering, with a stiff breeze from the south west and heavy showers, but at the moment appointed for the noble ship to take her native element, the sun shone forth with great splendour, and the " Thames," receiving her name from Mrs. Longland, the amiable lady of the Secretary to the Company, glided with matchless grace into the flowing stream, amidst the cheers of congregated thousands. It would appear that the Directors of the Company had intended to be present on this important occasion, but by some mismanagement, which we trust is, not always their rule, they did not arrive at the scene until the gallant ship had been some time afloat. We could not have thought so great a company would have taken a little Greenwich boat for their excursion, when there are so many fine vessels plying to Gravesend close to the scene of action. The following are the dimensions of the Thames : Length from fore part of stern at the bed of the bow • Feet. In. sprit, to the after part of the stern-post on the keel 215 3 Length between the perpendiculars ..... •• • •• • 213 Length of spar deck Length from fore part of the figure-head to the after part of the taffrail Breadth moulded Breadth extreme Breadth for tonnage Breadth from out to out of paddle-boxes i Depth from lower side of main deck to upper side of floor or depth in hold Height of spar deck 7 The burthen is 1,285 10-94 tons; builder's measurement, 1,300 tons old measurement. Ihe ship is now at BlaCkwall to receive her engines and fittings. We have yet to learn her power. The sister ships Medway, Iris, and:Trent, building by the same enterprising contractor, are progressing. The Medway will be launched in about a month. Two ships intended for the Company have been launched in the Clyde, and another will float on the waters of Leith in the course of a few days, but we doubt if either of them are equal in beauty to the Thames. We could not help remarking that there was not one lady in the Company of the Directors, nor did we hear of any entertainment being given given in honour of the christening of this their first ship launched on the Thames.

'(Abridged from the Sheffield Independent.) On Wednesday evening a public meeting was held in Para dise-square, convened by the Master Cutler, to address the Queen in favour of the abolition of all monopolies, and espe cially in those of corn, sugar, and timber.s- The meeting not having been determined upon until noon of the same day. the deficiency in the time allowed for making it public was supplied by the active and zealous exertions of the Working Men's Anti-Corn-law Committee. At about a quarter past six the proceedings commenced, and the numbers rapidly increased, continuing to augment until seven o'clock, when the whole area within the roads across and up the east side of the square was filled with people. We heard the number stated by a person unfavourable to the pro ceedings of the meeting at 12,000, others said 10,000 ; but we should rather say, speaking moderately, seven or eight thou sand, a number which, considering the shortness of the notice, is a strung proof of the deep interest which is felt in the pre sent effort of the Government to abate the monopolies under which the people suffered. 'I he Master Cutler wes unanimously called to the chair. Mr. Du NN had attended many meetings, on many import ant occasions ; but he had never known an occasion more im. portant than that which had now called them together. This was a question that extended its branches much wider, and struck its roots far deeper, than any question of party politics. The proposition before Parliament was to reduce the prohibi tory duty now levied on the sugar of foreign countries. An alteration had also been proposed in the duties on timber and on corn ; the great question, however, related to the corn. The debate and the division were nominally on the sugar duty, but in reality involved the whole. The amendment of Lord Sandon was to the effect that we ought not to admit the importation of foreign sugar, lest it should be an encourage ment to slavery. No men and no town in England hadaigreater horror of slavery than the men and the town of Sheffield ; but the amendment suggested the serious question how far the present monopoly tended to discourage slavery in other countries, as the Brazils and Cuba ? The argument of Lord Sandon. if it was good for anything, went to this, that we ought to give up the use of all slave-grown predune—that we ought not to receive the cotton or tobacco raised by slaves in America; if the argument be good for anything, it ought to be pushed to this, its legitimate extent, and not confined to the subject of sugar. But who were the men who used this argument? and who complained that they could not, even with a protection of fifty per cent., compete with slave-grown pro- duce ? The very men who had received twenty millions to en able them to sustain the competition, now said that the amount of saving effected in the price of sugar would be so small, that it would do nothing for the poor man ; but he looked upon the measure as calculated to secure and extend our trade with the Brazils ; and if the saving in the price of sugar should be only eighteen pence the hundred weight, yet if it created a trade that would secure constant employment to the artisans, surely that would greatly improve their condition. Then with regard to timber, even if the alteration of the duty did not re duce the price, yet established a trade with those countries which used to deal largrly with us, and in which the manufacturers of Sheffield once did a large amount of business, would be greatly to our benefit ; since we excluded the timber of those countries, they, with retributive justice, excluded our goods. The ques tion then was,not merely whether the proposed measures would reduce prices, but whether we could open foreign markets to our manufactures. But the great question related to corn. That was the pinching point, and the main part. of the mea sure. It was said that if we should alter our duties an corn, we should injure our best and largest customer, the home market. If such an alteration were proposed as would mani festly put an end to the consumption of our manufactures by the agriculturists of England, it would be suicide to adopt it. But from the present measure no such loss could take place. Let them recollect that it was not proposed to go all at once to free trade. There might be various opinions on that point, but they must all admit that a great step was made when it was proposed to admit foreign corn at Bs. duty.—Thus Bs. would be given to the British more than to the foreign grower. So far it was a tax on corn, and was a disadvantage. But the advantage was, that it would reduce the trade in corn to a certainty. There was one peculiar fea ture in this question. Some people argued that the manufac turing and commercial prosperity of England had grown up under this law. Such men talked as' if the Corn-law was as old as Methuselah ; but in fact it was only twelve years old, having been brought in by Wellington and Peel in 1828. After the law was passed we had a series of abundant harvests, which, during the years 1833-4.5, caused the price of corn to be low. Then the tables of Parliament groaned under petitions from the people against this law, not from the artisans and manu facturers, but from the farmers themselves. These men, year after year, deluged the Parliament with petitions, praying for relief. The Duke of Buckingham, then Marquis of Chandes, made an annual oration on th e su bj ect , and told the House they might do as they would, the farmers could never be worse off than under those laws. Yet, this very year, the same man tells the House that to touch these laws would ruin them. They knew that Earl Fitz william was desirous to abolish the Corn-laws. The Duke of Devonshire took the same view, and would not allow his pri vate interest too stand in the way of public good. The first Peer of the realm also, a native of Sheffield, a man who was always first in every good word and work (the Duke of Nor folk) said the same thing ; and he believed he might say that, in opposition to the Corn-laws, they had with them all the blood of all the Howards. Let them not imagine, then, that they were without friends among the landed interest ; they had many, and powerful friends. He did not ask them to sal port a Whig or Tory Government. He did dot know whether Mr. Otley would ask them to support a Chartist Govern ment ; but he asked them to aid in obtaining for them -Selt-M- kr Weir townsmen, and for the men of Yorkshire and Lancashire, the means of living. He asked them to commisserate the destitute who were able and willing to work, but unable to find employment. Let them bethink themselves of the misery endured by such men, and their wives and chil dren. He believed in his soul that there were hundreds of respectable working men in Shefild at this time unable to find a sufficiency of bread for their children ; and if they had hearts to pity these men, let them not be led astray and deluded.-- (Hear, hear. ) Let them remember that cheap bread and provisions were essential to the comforts of the poor. Let them recollect the time when the men of Sheffield were best off, when they were best employed, best paid, and most comfort able. That was at the time not when bread was high, but when it was low.—(Cheers.) He with confidence submitted the resolution he had to propose, which they would find pledged them to no Government, but to the principles of free trade. He read the resolution as follows : " That a petition and address be presented to the Queen on behalf of this meeting, assuring her Majesty that the mha sures which have been recently announced to Parliament by her Ministers for the revision of the import duties upon sugar, corn, and timber, have been highly gratifying to the country, as the heralds of a new and better system of fiscal policy, and un restricted trade ; and humbly . beseeching her Majesty not to repose confidence in any Ministry who are not prepared to accomplish such measures, and generally to introduce a more enlarged and liberal system of commercial intercourse with foreign countries." And added, with that resolution went his whole heart and soul, and prayer, and he confidently left it in their hand.—(Cheers. ) Ineinsost, Esq.—(Loud cheers)—Seconded the reso lution. Let them only strip the question of everything ex traneous, and they would find that it was really very simple, and such as no man of common understanding could fail to comprehend. To one of his friends, who talked of its com plexity, he asked what proportion of apound,were sixteen thirty seconds. He could not tell ; but when asked how much was one half of a pound, he had no difficulty. Just so they should deal with the question of the Corn-law. Let them suppose a small island, with 100 inhabitants, producing food enough for themselves and one-third more, which they exported to pur chase other articles. In time, the population might increase to 200, and then, so far from having corn to export, they would not have enough at home. They must therefore find some other commodity to export to buy the corn they needed as well as the other things, which before they had purchased with corn. Supposing that they manu factured hardware, and went on till the population had reached four hundred thousand ' • it was plain they must then have a n immense importation of corn. The system would work well. But suppose a few old families owning the land should conspire to lay a duty of 50 pet cent. upon all imported corn, in order to raise the price of that produced on their own land. Then, the corn that cost 205., would pay a duty of 10s. The effect of that would at first be to make the hardware exported 50 per cent. dearer to the purchasers. But they would retaliate and lay a duty of 50 per cent. on the hardware. Thus, its price would be practically raised from 20e. to 40s, or 100 per cent. But suppose the purchasers of the hardware should begin to manufacture tor themselves, and could make for 30s. the hardware which, with the duty, cost 40s. Then the island ers must meet them in the market, and sell their own hard ware, burdened with the double duties, for 305., which would reduce the price paid to the manufacturers and artisans for what they used to sell for 205., to 10s. Thus they might go on, as we had done, increasing their exports, but getting less for them. Thus wages and profits would be reduced, till workmen were starved, and masters ruined. Just such was the operation here. Our prices were now constantly reduced by competition—a competition in a great degree created by our absurd laws, which would not allow those who want our goods to pay for them in the only commodities they have to give. Surely every man could understand this, and they ought to support the Government who had offered to make a great and beneficial change.—( Loud cheers. ) Mr. OTLEY said, it had been currently stated that the party to whom he belonged, had continually opposed the re peal of the Corn-laws, and the amelioration of the condition of the working classes. Now, let them mark what these gentlemen were doing. There was a motion before Parlia ment—to do what ? To repeal the Corn-laws ?No such thing. They knew better than that. He told them three years ago they would never get the Corn-laws repealed, and he told them so now.—( Disapprobation.) There was too much class legislation ever to obtain a thorough, perfect, and unconditional repeal of the Corn-laws. 'I hese gentlemen would take an instalment of Bs. per quarter, which would make it 10s. per quarter when the expense of transit was paid, so that there would be no improvement in the condition of the working classes. It would only give the masters an opportu nity of getting quit of their goods, which the men would have to produce at lower wages.—( Hear, hear, and disapprobation. ) They wanted the repeal of the Corn-laws, in order to enable them to compete with foreign nations. Competition was ex cluding us from the markets, because we could not produce so cheaply as others ; but what was the reason ?—(The Corn laws.) Let them look at Ireland. They had bread cheap there.—(No, no, they've nothing cheap there.) I'll tell you why. Because they have nothing to purchase anything with. It will be the same here. Ireland is only a picture of the States of the Continent with which you will have to corn pete. G en tl e men talked of monopolies, but not of tho se th at were of value to them. They said nothing against the profes sions into which they could initiate their child ren , to make th em gentlemen.—(Question.) Trade monopolies was the question. Then there was the army, in which they could make their sons officers.—(Question ; "So may you,") Not wihout money to purchase. Then there was the monopoly of the hereditary landowner. And, above all, mark this, there was the monopy of legislation.—( Hear, hear.) They say they advocate free trade and liberty; but do they give you liberty ? .—(No, no.) Will they give you representatives in Parlia ment ?—(Question.) This is the question. Let them give us representatives, and we will repeal the Corn-laws, and all other obnoxious laws. I expected opposition to night, for the meet ing has been packed.— ( Who could pack a meeting in Para dise-square?) I shall now move an amendment . — (Mr. Otley here received a hint from a friend behind him; after a mo ment's consultation with whom, he continued )—ln conse quence of the advice of a few friends behind me I shall not at present make any motiou. ---s( Laughter. ) Mr. ELLlOTT—(Cheers)—Mr. Otley tells you that two loaves instead of one will lower wages.—( Laught er • " We don't believe it.") The q uesti o n is not, whether you will hare low wages, or whether you will have any wages at all. He has t o ld you a deal about competition, Competition depends • upon the number of competitors, and on the amount they have to compete for. If you still go on increasing, without a cor responding increase of food, you must have too many competi tors.—(Cheers.) If Corn-laws and monopolies are good things, you ought all to be prosperous now; are you so ? " No, no." Then it is not for want of Sugar Duties and Corn. laws.—( Cheers. ) Mr. BENSON appealed to the meeting if they had not made it known as much to Chartists as to Whigs, and as much to Whigs as to Tories, as much as lay in their power ?—( Cheers. ) And now he asked —was there any pretence for saying that they had unfairly packed the meeting, even if such a thing was possible ?—(" No, no," and cheers. ) He contended that the present proposition of Ministers was an approximation to the changes that were necessary, and he would not, for one, cefusa to take them, because they were only part of what he asked. If a man owed him 101. but could only pay him 51. at once, promising the remainder afterwards, which would be the wise course—to take what the man could pay, and wait for the -emainder, or to throw him into prison and probably lose the whole? If he consulted a physician for a complication of d;s 2ases, would it be wise to refuse a remedy which would relieve the more severe of his complaints, because it would not at once cure the whole ? Whatever measures tended 'to the relief of cite people he would support, believing he should thus most effectually promote the great end he had in view ; but never while he lived should he rest satisfied or ceased to struggle till he such more accomplished than was now proposed. Mr. HALL, an operative, thought Mr. Otley had not spoken rightly in saying their wages would be reduced by a repeal of the Corn-laws. He had attentively watched the fluctuations of trade since 1810, and he never knew a pros perous state of trade produce a reduction of wages.--(Cheers.) While trade was increasing, they had never sewn working men reduced to the state of poverty and misery they now en dured. What had brought about this reduction ? It was the Corn -laws. What would restore them to prosperity ? The repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Hear, hear.) It was impossible that their wages could be lower whe n th e C orn- l aw was re pealed than they were now. Where was the man among the table-knife hatters who could earn more than eight or nine shillings a week, unless he called in the assistance of his chil dren, and they increased the competition? He contended, then, that the repeal of the Corn-law could not reduce wages lower than they were now. Mr. SMITH, a printer, said if England would abolish the Corn-laws, and the United States would establish a national bank, the trade between the two countries would again pros per. At present the price of American flour was such that it might be imported into England at la. 6d. per stone, thus giv ing cheap bread, and a demand fur our manufactures to the extent of millions. The establishment of free trade would go far to annihilate the manufactures of the United States, which were every year becoming stronger ; but if the measure were much longer delayed, the manufacturers of the United States would become so much mere powerful, that the Federal Go vernment would not be able to establish free trade with Eng land, which it would now be glad to do. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, in favour of. which there was a general show of hands throughout the whole meeting, while against it there only appeared about a score of hands ; and the Master Cutler declared, amid loud cheers, that the resolution was carried almost unanimously. WILLIAM VICKERS, Esq., came forward to move the se cond resolution. He was there to support free trade in corn, and in every other commodity. Let them but have fair play, and they would not fear to take their chance in the wide market of the world. To say that we desired the repeal of the Corn-laws, to enable us to compete, supposed that we were now exempted from the necessity of competion. But it was not so, for we had competitors in every market at present; and the only difference made by the Corn laws was, that we competed with them under great disadvantages. Scissors were now made in Germany and Prussia such cheaper than in Eng land, and cheaper knives were made there than we could pro , duce. Our matchet trade was gone entirely. A n d if we were t o compete for 10 years long er with our foreign rivals, on the same terms as we had done since the peace, our manufactories might be shut up, and this country must become agricultural. He had great pleasure in proposing the Address to the Queen, praying her Majesty, whether her advisers be Whigs or Tories, to give her countenance to none who would not give the people free trade, but above all, free trad e i n corn .—( Ch eers. ) Mr. BRAMLEY—(Cheers)—seconded the motion. He avowed himself a Radical, and wiling to go further than the Ministry. But as Mr. Benson had well put it, if he were labouring under several diseases, it would be absurd to refuse medicine that would cure one, because the same thing would not cure all the rest. That was just their position as to the Corn. law. To concur in its removal need not prevent their also agitating for the Charter, or applying for the Suffrage. But if they wished to accomplish those objects, they must exist, which they could not do without food. Mr. ELLIOTT said, the landowners are forcing men to ask, a hundred years before the time, whether a class of persons living on the rent of the land, ought any longer to exist in this country ? In deciding ',that their monopolies shall die a natural death, or rather a most unnatural one, by destroying the trade of this country, they, in effect, decide that their land shall be divided among their victims. That such must be the result if they persevere, I will make plain to your senses. Is it not plain to your senses, that at Sheffield, on about 600 acres of bad land, covered with houses and steam engines, live 120,000 human beings? Now, these 600 acres of land, if employed in agriculture, would not comfortably sustain more than a hundred families, or 500 persons. Suppose your trade destroyed, then, what would become of 119,500 people, here thrown out of subsistence by Act, of Parliament ? They must fall upon the land for maintenance, because there will be nothing else to fall upon ; and they must divide the land, because there will be nothing else to divide, all commer cial property being annihilated. Yet the Duke of Wellington, the winner of the bread -tax, who ignorantly dines every day on the ruined fortunes of Isis countrymen, expressed a wish, a few days ago, if 1 understand his reported speech, that this country had no trade! Suppose his wish gratified, what would be the consequences? In a very short time two-thirds of you would be living, if at all, on parish pay, thrice the number of workhouses would not admit one-third of the applicants for admission. There would soon be no wages, no ratepayers, and no markets. House proprietors could not live on their property, for no one could pay them ; mortgagees could not receive a farthing interest, for the same reason ' • no farmer would sow his land, for he would no t b e allowed to reap the harvest ; no shopkeeper would open his shop, for, if he did, it would be instantly gutted ; and when the storm had rocked itself to rest, and two .thirds of you had perished, there would not be in these islands, thenceforth and for ever, a class of men, and perhaps not an individual, living on the rent of land. All of you, not the slandered Chariots only, but all classes of men in the nation, particularly the pious re spectables, the great manufacturers and merchants, the richer shopkeepers, the more wealthy portion of the religionists of all denominations, and almost every parson, whether Dissenter or Churchman, have supported, during the last twenty-six years, and are still supporting, the aristocracy and their food tax, and all other monopolists and monopolies. The Rev. R. S. BAYLEY—(Cheers)—Was in favour of free trade, without an exception, in religion, in commerce, in poli tics, in education—he repeated, without an exception.— (Cheers.) One of his motives for appearing on this occasion was to speak to the poor. He was the minister of the poor. It had never fallen to his lot, and never, probably, would, unless he should follow theexample of which they had recently seen an instance in the medical profession, and become a renegade, to school the great. The bulk of his congregation consisted of the horny-handed sons of toil. He knew how they felt—how they lived—what was the furniture of their houses—how their children were educated—and what was the state of their own knowledge i.nd morality; and he said, without the slightest in tention of slandering or hurting any one, that he believed one of the most alarming symptoms of the operations of the Corn laws to be, that they deteriorated immensely beyond what any table could show, or even Mr. Elliott, with his diamond pen, describe, the morality of the country.—(Hear, hear,) At the present time there was such a concurrence of circumstances as he never remembered to have known before. We had a young Queen—an independent and high-spirited woman, who had shown her independence, and saved us once. —( Hear, hear.) She was now on the perilous edge of faction, and could look to no protection but her people. The people of England were the best protectors or England's monarch. If the people failed to protect her and her Ministers, she must fall under the power of the aristocracy, and when they had got the Queen into their own hands, and weaned her of her popular bias, then the people would have to reproach themselves for the lethargy that had permitted it. He was re joiced that this meeting had been so pacific and determined. If the Chartists were to worry the Reformers, and the Re formers the Chartists, the consequence must be that the Tories would worry both.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped they would live to see the day not only of the abolition of the Corn-laws, but when there should be no need to bead their placards with " No p an ol d iti c es q , ual in ity rel vv ig it io h n o , ut an e d xce in ptio tr n at e, t it h l e o r n e o Monopoly," ' l ' d b because, libertyusin (Cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution and address, and e put it to the vote, when the show of bands in favour was large, and the minority seemed even smaller than on the former mo tion. The Chairman declared it to be carried almost unani mously.—( Loud cheers. ) This triumphant and satisfactory meeting closed about eight o'clock. TORY OFFICIALS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. s ift ,—Some of the unde r li ng o ffi c i a l s i n the country are giving out that Ministers have cau se d an i nqu i ry to be insti tuted in the various departments, to ascertain whether addi tional receipts to the revenue cannot be screwed out of some of the items of taxation which have been remitted to the country, in order to make . up th e present deficiency in the income, and that such inquiry, so far as regards the department in which they serve, has been made through them. Now, Mr. Editor, what I want, by my present letter, is to impress upon Ministers not to trust the reports which they may receive through such quarters; many of them took their offices under the Tories whilst they were in power, and would gladly hail their return, as the greatest God-send that could befal them. I trust Minis ters know better than to endeavour to improve the revenue by restoring items of taxation which they have given up on account of their ve xa ti ous and oppressive na'ure. 'they are now stand ingwell with th e country, and the recent d i vision will improve their popularity ; let them not injure themselves by a departure, in the slightest degree, from the just principles which they have laid down. 'I he country will support them to the utter dismay of the Tories. The people are no longer to he hood winked, their eyes are opened, and when the time comes when Lord Melbourne and Lurd John Russell will appeal to them, they will manfully do their duty, and carry her Majesty's Mi nisters triumph an tly th roug h all the interested opposition of the monopolists, however powerful they may fancy themselves to be. I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, Yorkshire, May 20. A CONSTANT READER.

Already there are unerring indications that the movement in Ireland will be most energetic, enthusiastic, and universal. The Ulster Reform Association meets to-moi row to express its opi nions upon the alterations in the corn and sugar duties. The Belfast Vindicator announces that arrangements are in pro gress for simultaneous meetings throughout Ulster on Sunday next. The citizens of Waterford assembled yesterday, under the presidency of the Mayor, Simon Newport, Esq. A letter was read from Lord Carew, one of the most extensive pro prietors in the south, announcing his approval of the commer cial policy of the Ministry. Thus, the greatest proprietors in the country are declaring in favour of the fixed duty on corn, as better calculated to protect the interests of the farmer than the gambling and fluctuating system. Clonmel, Macroom, an d other places, are preparing to assemble, and yet the movement is only commencing in I r eland.---Dublin Evening P os t. H ER MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY.—The ilitttnt nations in honour of her Majesty's birthday were very brilliant and throughout the metropoliti,-_ - _ - ' n The monopo s lists started with the crY of humanity. The old slavemongers ; the men who resisted neg - tu emancipation at every stage, who yielded not till they obtained twenty millions of our hard-earned gold, and even then tried to defraud us of the bond—we all remem ber the meeting held in this city to expose and resist their abuse of the negro apprentice—these jobbers in hu man flesh, the owners of the blood, and bones, and sinews of their fellow-men—are all at once seized with the ten derest concern for the poor negro, and they desire to promote the " great experiment "- of emancipation ! even though they only get twopence per pound over and above the fair market price for every pound of sugar which they grow by this great experiment. The hypo crites! how dare they show their faces before the people of this country ! They have denied the negro a human soul—they have rioted amidst the fruits of labour ex torted from him by the lash and the goad—they have disregarded every natural tie of affection, buying, and selling husband from wife, and child from parent—and when the nation would no longer submit to this hellish system, and generously came forward with its gold, heaped and piled up in such a mass as to be the wonder and astonishment of the age—these men, thus convinced, yield to the impulse—they receive the gold, and become " emancipists ! Only give them a few millions more in the shape of a grinding monopoly, and they will con sent to carry on the " great experiment " of emancipa tion ! Was ever such a combination of greed and im pudence ! It is barely possible to hear the case stated with patience, much less to prostrate the reason to argue with them. But it is not only the West Indian who figures in this memorable debate. All others who live by monopoly, or have vested interests to protect at the expense of the people, join them in the cry—that the great work of emancipation shall be fairly carried out. Why, who ever heard a Tory cry out against slavery be the nation abolished it ? Who stood by slavery till the horrid system was actually struck down by the indig nant people of this country ? The Tories. One and all, individually and collectively, they rivetted the fet ters of the slave. I(From the Coventry Herald.) The question whether the Corn-law is an evil or a good, wants no discussion ; and the printing of the peti tion, and its circulation among the inhabitants of Coventry, previous to laying it open at the hall for signatures, leaves the opponents of the undertaking without any pretext for saying there was any desire to obtain sig natures under false colours. Let the emissaries of the aristocrats we have before a - tided to, who are, and have been prowling about all over ' he country with pocket pe titions, do the same if they flare. Let them leave it to the free will and choice of the poor creatures whom they lead, drive, and cheat, under all manner of pretences, to sign petitions in favour of the Corn-laws, and the petitions would be little more than blank sheets of paper. If, how ever, those . admirers of the Corn-law, who say it works well, and who taunt the repealers with not calling a public meeting—if these gentlemen want a public meet ing, we invite them, and we venture to do so in the name of the Anti-Bread Tax Association. We invite them— we challenge them to call a public meeting to petition in favour of the • continuance of the Corn-law. There is plenty of time yet. The Duke of Buckingham, Stanley, Wellington, Peel, gir E. Knatchbull, and other crack men, are all before them, with place in view. We, there fore, beg and pray of those who approve of the Corn-law —who say it works well, and who are dissatisfied at not having had a public meeting—we entreat them to con vene one to petition in support of the Corn-law. Let them try the tight coat of monopoly on, and see if it does not rip in the fitting. (From the Leicester Mercury.) There is no time to be lost. The Government measure—though far short of our standard—would pro duce great practical benefit. Repeal will not be carried at once. But, if we would obtain anything, we must ask for all. It is politic, as well as dignified and con sistent, to maintain the high ground of total and imme diate repeal. With a rapidly-declining commerce, with a starving population—with woe and misery before us— these are no times for compromise. Let us attack the monopolists in their entrenchments—let us dispute with them, inch by inch, the ground they occupy. Let us shake off, once and for ever, the iron yoke of a tyrant ' aristocracy. (From the Sta f fordshire Examiner.) In point of argument, the monopolists cut a most des picable figure throughout. The pretext of humanity was so torn from them, that all hope of deceiving the people was destroyed. The grand disappointmeit to the mono polists, however, is the course her Majesty's Ministers have determined upon pursuing, with regard to the divi sion. The Government has wisely resolved not to allow the grand feature of the Budget—the Anti- Corn-law project—to be shirked by this "event. They are determined not to dissolve Parliament until the Corn-question has been discussed. There is now an interval of ten days before the Corn laws will be broached : this interval should be actively employed in preparing and forwarding petitions expres sive of the national feeling on the subject. If we mis take not the signs of the times, too, the opportunity will not be lost. A continuation of the activity, which has already exhibited itself from one end of the kingdom to the other, for another fortnight, will suffice to furnish an overwhelming and irresistible demonstration of the will of the nation. in the England, s Scotland. o Great tla n as idt .iiss muchesniustrphsucasasircsasedeml (From the Hull Advertiser.) y by a a g th t a o i e n w s n t feelingtoh rediidistrict Corn-laws thriic(,ht oeitsh i t n es least importance that has not petitioned, prepared to petition, or taken other measures to accomplish the over throw of the landlord's monopoly. In addition to the immense number of petitions already presented to the Legislature from Scotland, many, very many, have been forwarded within the past week. (From the Dublin Evening Post.). As we anticipated all along, there will be a dissolu tion, but not, we think, immediately. The Tories have been too cunning for themselves. The Holy . Alliance of the slave-owners (virtually so)—and the saints (so hy pothetically)—of the timber merchants and bread-taxers, have been, we admit, too much for Ministers ; but the. character of the discussion, spread over the unprece dented space of eight days, has proved fatal to the com bination. That debate goes to the country, and: the country gentlemen who figured therein will heave to ttp_ peal in person in the course of a very short time. That the country will respond to this appeal in the spirit in which it will have been made we entertain no manner of doubt. In Ireland we shall certainly add to our numbers. We shall win back Carlow, Kinsale; and Newry. Iv - , shall emancipate Bandon, and. in our opinion, 'founded, by no means on li g ht grounds, we skull turn Emerson Tenncnt out of Belfast. But we need not, indeed we cannot at present, go into any particulars. W e „. ere never better prepared, and we may just add, for the sa tisfaction of the Orangemen and all concerned, that it is the intention of the Irish Liberals to appeal, to most of the constituencies in this part of the United King dom. T H E QUEEN.—The Queen, God bless her / has remained true to the Reform party under all the severe die courageraents of the last few weeks. Her Majesty, with that in tuitive sagacity which belongs to her clear judgment and vigo rous u nderstanding, penetrates all the depths of Tory wiles and trickery to get hold of place and power. She sees that were its principles to predominate, not only would the peace of the country be endangered, but the very existence of the monarchy would be imperilled. A distinguished member of the Liberal party, writing to Exeter in the early part of the week, says, " the Queen is sorely distressed at what is passing. and is showing the strongest attachment to the Reform party.

He was singularly successful in his empiricism, and had amassed a handsome property.

THIS seeming paradox has been solved by the Perukes and Head Dresses made by ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, BISHOPSGATE-STREET, for although per fectly natural, they at the same time possess that elegance and gracefulness of contour otherwise unattainable. Being made of natural curling hair, which always looks easy and becoming, (particularly in Ladies' and Gentlemen's Perukes), being quite porous, and finished with their newly-invented partings, the latter so close a resemb'ance to the skin, as to defy detection ; they are perfectly unique.

While passing over such attractive ground as the scene of the English conquests in France—the field of the heroic adventures of Joan of Arc—the theatre of the desperate struggles of the Huguenots at La Rochelle, and of the Royalists at La Vendee—the land of cognac and claret—and the soil where flourished a whole host of historical characters—our au thor seems to have been stimulated to exercise all his talents as a tourist ; and, the reader will acknowledge, with a very happy result. At one time we find him gossiping about the antiquities of the old provincial towns ; at another making clear an obscure page of history ; here he lingers with Richard Cur de Lion at Chains; there he stays with Margaret of Anjou at Dampiere. After a while we find him describing mines, ma nufactories, prisons, druidical remains, cathedrals, and battle fields, with the spirit of one born in their neighbourhood ; and these are delightfully relieved by a fund of amusement in the anecdotes, adventures, legends, and remarks, that accom pany them. Indeed, information is so blended with entertain ment through-nit these pages, that, as a book of travels, the Summer in Western France' proves one of the most agreeable works ever written."—New Monthly.
