Sir,-1 h ave much pleasure in stating to you Dartford that Blair's dout lS4 and Rheumatic Pills have been of the greatest service to me. Between nine and t n months ago I became afflicted with that mo , t painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a perio I, tiaffl:s any description which I can pos ,ibl s give of my then miserable state. I could • eldom obtain either rest or steep. I had the best medical advice, .ncluding that of tto physicians in London, without obtaining any essential relief I wen' to Margate, and had the best medi-al vdvice, trying the warm bath there, and at other places, without obtaining any henefit. A short time ago I was rec dannenoe t to try Blair's Gout and Rheumatic fills; and sea thereby induced to purchase a boa of this valuable medicine of Me srs Hammond and Co , Chemists of thi , town, and before I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and speedily recovered my health isy taking a few mo re Pills, and ha 'Pity there ha , been no return of this di tressing malady.

EVI 41NG EDITioN. A "r a SPECIAL MEETING of the COM MITTEE of the BRITISH and FOREIGN ANTI.. SLA. VERY SOCIETY, held at 27, New Broad-street, on the sth May, 1841, it was unanimously resolved— That this Committee have heard with deep regret, the an. rnouncemeet lately made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer •of the intention of her Majesty's Government to lower the Customs Duty on Foreign Sugars, whether the produce of free or slave labour, to such a scale as will admit of the impor tation of a vast quantity of that article into the British market for home consumption, especially from Brazil and Cuba, in which countries the atrocious system of slavery is maintained in all'its rigour, and the revolting traffic in human beings is carried on to an enormous extent. That the inevitable tendency of such reduction in the duties will be to stimulate the growth of sugar in those countries, by innterially increasing the demand for it in this, by which the 'extent of the slave trade will be increased, and its unutterable horrors aggravated and prolonged, while the condition of the wretched and degraded slaves already in bondage will be ren dered more grievous and intolerable than ever. That as the Legislature of this country has declared the slave-trade to be piracy, and the system of slavery to be essen tially unjust, and has sanctioned a vast outlay of the national treasure in the suppression of the former and the abolition of the latter, i n the West India colonies, it would be flagrantly inconsistent, directly or indirectly, to promote, extend, or countenance such enormous evils, or to seek an increase of revenue from such an iniquitous source. That the Cenimittee would therefore urge upon the Friends of Humanity, both in and out of Parliament, to offer the tno-t strenuous and decided . opposition to the measure proposed by Government, i n so f ar as it may affect the Article of Sugar, the.growth o f s l ave l a b our, as a grea t d u ty w hi c h t h ey owe to the Principles of universal justice and benevolence, and, as they firmly believe, to the best interests of their country.

(Opposite the York Hotel), and 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SO LOMON S, OPTICIANS and AURISTS to the ROYAL F 'SMILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place. by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the meat minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well krilwn to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority: From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M. D. , F.R,S., &c., &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not pr6duced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction —very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments; the workmen, too, are subject to ne vous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great (.anger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vi:ton, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are ..r.ly to be nad at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, &c., are explained to a familiar,manner ; to which are added very extensive prac tical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive habit, all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accompanied with full and explicit directions fur an effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety, without the aid of medicial assistance; it also con tains many hints and advice well worth knowing. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price2s. 9d., 4s 64., and Its. per box, is the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered, for every stage and sYinptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Se condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business ; they have effected the most surprising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation aid all other means have failed. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches on the head, face, and body, dimnes sof sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, n odeson the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till, at length, a generaldebility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me anchol y death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted at No. 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds. Only one personal visit is required from a country patient, to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectul cure, after all ether mensinhave proved ineffectual. .

A perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervous. In such per sons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

LEWES.—The notice given by Lord John Russell, on Friday, respecting the Corn or Starvation -laws was re relvect here with evident dismay by tit*'Conservative clique, who little expected so sudden a "damper" on their new born hopes. All who desire the prosperity of the ccuntry mast wish fo'r the abolition of all restrainsts upon trade. So elated with joy were the Tories on Friday at the defeat of the Ministers on the Irish Registration Bill that a select party of the leaders assembled at one of the public:houses in the evening to drink tho certain re turn of their friends to office; and the strength of the li quor proving too strong in several instances, some were seen careering homewards Bachi pleni.

Taut Coate-Laws.—We congratulate our readers on the cheering announcement which Lord John Russell made in the House of Commons on Friday evening, of his in tention to propose an alteration in the Corn-laws, by the substitution of a moderate fixed duty for the present sliding scale, which combines all the evils which can uossibly be found in a protecting duty, without having one single good quality to recommend It. The present law compels us to pay an enormous price to foreigners for the corn that we require ; that it deranges our currency, in the most dange rous manner; that it encourages foreign, in preference to British shipping ; and that, though burthensome to the consumer, it is comparatively unproductive to the rseenue. Ought such a law, then, to he continued. Certainly not. We therefore call upon the people of this manufacturing di,trict, whose prosperity,—nay, whose existence, almost depends upon the proper settle ment of this question, to bestir themselves, and to give their most zealous and strenuous assistance to Ministers in their endeavours to rid the country of an im post, which, in its present form, hangs like a millstone round the necks of the industrious classes, without afford ing the slightest benefit to anybody. The present is a time peculiarly favourable for a consideration cf the sub ject, inasmuch as the Governments of several other nations are about to revise their own tariffs, and to decide on what terms, our manufucturea are to be admitted for consumption by their subjects. Our com merce with Spain, with Germany, and with our best customers, the United States of America, depends, in a great degree, upon a modification of our Corn-laws. If we persist in our present mischievous system, not only shall we gain no new customers; we shall greatly endan ger our connection with old ones, and we leave those who are acquainted with the present condition of our staple manufactures to judge how far they could bear the loss of one or two of our most important markets. We think it must be obvious to all who consider the subject, that, without a considerable extension of our foreign com merce, our manufacturers and artisans must suffer great Evils ; and that a serious contraction of it would produce consequences which arc frightful to contemplate.—Man cheater Guardian. TERMS FOR PURCHASE OF LANDS IN THE SECOND SETTLEMENT. 1. The Company has determined upon the formation of a Second Settlement upon its territories in New Zealand, the site of which will be selected by an expedition to be forthwith dispatched for that purpose. It is intended that the site chosen shall be the best that may be available at the time of the selec tion being made, and that the position with reference to Port Nicholson and the rest of New Zealand shall be such, that the lands may reasonably be expected to advance in value'with the utmost rapidity. The Company therefore hereby offers for sale 201,000 acres of land in the proposed Second Settlement, upon the following terms 2. The lands are offered in 1,000 allotments of 201 acres each. Each allotment will consist of three sections, viz. 150 acres of rural land, 50 acres of accommodation land in the im mediate proximity of the town, and 1 town acre. The town will therefore comprise 1,000 acres, exclusive of reserves for public objects, such as streets, squares, churches, cemetries, markets, and public gardens or parks. 3. The price of each lot of 201 acres will be 300/. 4. A deposit of 301.' on each allotment must be paid to the Company's Bankers, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, and the Bankers's receipt produced and filed previous to any appli cation being registered at the Company's House. The re sidue of the purchase-money will be required on a day of which public notice will be given. In case of default in pay ment of such residue by the day appointed, the deposit will thereupon become forfeited to the Company, together with all claim of the applicant to the land applied for. 5. On payment of his full purchase-money, each purchaser will receive for each 300/. so paid, three separate land-ordrs, viz. for the 150 acres of rural land, the 50 acres of accommo dation land, and the town-acre respectively. These lands are to be severally seleetected according to priority of choice, to be determined by lot, as hereinafter mentioned. 6. Three several ballots for priority of choice of the rural setions, accommodation sections, and town sections, in manner to be arranged by the Directors, will take place at the Com pany's House in London, in the presence of the Directors and of such purchasers or their agents as may attend, on days of which public notice will be given. The choice of the allot ments of which priority shall have been tso determined, will take place in the settlement as soon after the arrival of the first body of .Colonists as the requisite surveys and plans shall have been completed, and under such regulations as shall be pre scribed by the Company's Agent duly authorised in that behalf. Neglect or refusal to comply with such regulations in regard to any section, shall occasion a forfeiture of the purchaser's right of choice, and vest it in the Company's officer on behalf of such purchaser. 7. The Company engages, subject to an arrangement with her Majesty's Government, to add to the 201,000 acres offered for sale, a quantity equal to one-tenth thereof as native re - reserves, so that the quantity of land to be appropriated will, in fact, consist of 221,000 acres, and the town of 1,100 acres. The plan of the Native Reserves in the First Settlement will be followed, unless the regulations of her Majesty's Go vernment or any unforeseen difficulty should prevent its adoption. 8. The Company reserves the right of purchasing a num - her, not exceeding 100 of the 1,100 Lots offered for Sale, for its own benefit, at the same price, and subject to the same terms in every respect, as other purchasers. • 9. The sum of 301,000/, to be received by the Company as the purchase-monies of the Lands now offered, will be appro priated in the following manner, viz.— £150,000 to the exclusive purpose of Emigration to this par ticular settlement. 50,000 to defray the Company's expenses in selecting the site and establishing ti. settlement. Any surplus of this fund to be applied to the public purposes next mentioned. 50,000 to public purposes, for rendering the settlement com modious and attractive. As such pnrposes, it is in tended to apply 15,000/. to• religious uses and en dowments for colonists of all denominations, 15,0001. to the establishment of a College in the settlement, and 20,0001 towards the encouragement of steam navigation, for the benefit of the settlement, by way of bounty. 50,000 to the Company, for its expenses and profit on the ---,-- use of its capital. £300,000 Total. The Company undertakes to apply the purchase monies in the proportions stated, as nearly so as may be practicable, to the several objects previously specified. 10. The whole of the Emigration FUnd, with the exception of 20,000!., will he expended in conveying to the New Set tlement Labouring persons el gible according to the regula tions now in force with reference to the First Settlement. The 20,0001. will be reserved as a Special Fund, out of which, and to that extent only, allowances will be made to the pur chase's towards the cost of cabin-passages for themselves, their families, and servants, to the Settlement. The amount of the allowance will in no case exceed 251. per cent. of the purchase-money paid by the Colonists; and the Fund being limited as above-mentioned, preference will be given to the Applicants for ilv‘ allowance in the order of their respective applications for the :ante. Particular Regulations relative to the mode of obtaining Cvbin-passage Allowances will be here after issued; but it is to be distinctly understood, that Cie Di rectors reserve the power of granting, withholding, or adjusting the same, according to the merits of each particular case, and that no application fortlic allowance will be ascertained, under anv circumstances, after the expiration of the present year. 11.

Written applications for allotments will thenceforth be received and registered by the Secretary of the. Company, until a day of which public notice will be given, when the land-orders will be awarded strictly according to Priority in the Register of Applications and to the result of the ballots ; and all Deposits received will be returned, in case, by reason of the above rule of priority, or from any other cause, the Directors shall be unable to award the required land orders to the whole of the applicants.

THE BUDGET AND CORN-LAWS. Such arc the measures proposed to Parliament—the substitut'en of a moderate fixed duty on corn for the flue wilting duty, a lowering of the duties on foreign timber and sugar, and a raising of the duties on colonial timber. Nothing was done with the questions further than to talk a great deal about them, and the principal discussions will take place when the Bills to carry them into effect shall be introduced. We almost doubt whether they will ever be brought in ; for, from the temper shown by the Tories and their present possession of almost a majority, it seems to be supposed that they will take some steps to bring matters to a crisis with the Minister and farce them to resign or have recourse to a dissolution, It is, we find, a prevalent opinion that the Ministerial plan is intended for them to go to the country on ; and, therefore, we would have all our readers who are interested in elections to be prepared for a dissolution. We do not regard the proposed changes with so much favour as the bold and manly language, throwing aside con cealment, which they provoked from both sides of the House. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, Lord Howick, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Hume advanced the broadest principles of Free Trade, and made it quite apparent that our commercial and fiscal restrictions were deeply injuring, and would ultimately destroy, the prosperity of the country. The Tories only spoke the language of bitter mortification. To promote prosperity by restrictions is their plan, and is now proved to be as complete a failure as their now ex ploded and contemptible attempt to make men Protestants by political persecution. We shall have future opportu nities to advert to these subjects; we must now content ourselves with informing_ all whom it may c oncern th a t great changes arc at hand.—Brighton Guardian. CORN-LAWS.—On Monday evening, at eight o'clock, a meeting was held at the Brewers' Arms to consider of the propriety of adopting a petition to Parliament, praying for a repeal of the Corn-law. Mr. N. Hammond was voted Thatßt.hißsrmigegest'inEgsgal then moved the first opt a petition to t r o e s t o h l u e t io t, Chair. " Par liament praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws." Mr. B. dwelt at great length oe the effects of the New Poor law, and also stated it as his decided opinion that if the Corn-laws were repealed, we should not require any union houses. He deprecated the shutting out of supplies of foreign corn, because he was sure that the English farmer could not grow sufficient corn for the population. Mr. John Bates seconded the proposition, and stated that whilst the rich man rolled in luxuries, the poor man was starving from the high taxation to which he was sub ject and from the want of steady employ. Mr. A. Stro nach began by stating that he had been brought up in the Tory school, where he was taught that the many must work for the benefit of the fee ; but as he grew in years his reason told him better, and he then joined the Whig party. But he was sorry to say ho found, after a few years' experieace, that he had not gained by the change. Mr. G. Cooke said, the repeal of the Corn-law would I.enefit not only the manufacturer, but the artizan. Mr. W. Acton moved the adoption of the petition which he read. The speaker introdu ced some very excellent re arks, shoo n wing t he injurious eff ec t t h e C orn -l aws were inflicting our manufacturers i n C ont i necta l mar k e t s . m Very good observations were also made on the " Import Duties' Evidence," as given before a Committee of the House of Commons, proving that all excessive import duties are an injury to the revenue, as they cause smug gling to increase, and injure the fair dealer, who could not compete with the smuggler. Mr. Acton also alluded to the high price of sugar, caused by the present rate of duty, 635. per cwt., which, he was glad to say, the Char. cellor of the Exchequer had stated his intention to lower, and which, he did not doubt, would be the means of caus ing considerable increase in the consumption. Mr. Lem priere briefly seconded the motion, which was carried una nimously.—lbid. WEST INDIA PROPRIETORS. A meeting of West India Planters, Merchants, and others interested in the West India colones, was held yes terday at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, pursuant to advertizement, to take into consideration the Government proposition for reducing the duty on foreign sugars. The Right Hon. the Earl of Harewood tea the Chair at two o'cicck. The meeting was very thinly at tended. Amongst those present we noticed several gen tlemen connected with the Wen The Nonee CHAIRMAN rose and said that however often they had met on other matters connected with the West Indic., that on which they were called together that day was of the most paramount importance. Since the Noble Lori at present at the head of colonial affairs had been ap pcinted to that department of the Government—although he (Lord Harewood) could not speak of his own knowledge, yet he had been informed that he was surpassed by none in talent and unremitting exertion.—(Hear.) He therefore hoped that after the aggravations—for so he was compelled to term them— that had been practised on the West India Colonies, particularly on Jamaica, there would have been a more favourable era, and not have found their best interest= threatened with ruin. With respect to the project of the Government, it appeared to him fairly impossible that it could be intended to go on.. They talked of free trade— free trade to whom? to everybody but to ourselves. They kept their own duties whilst they trick off the duties paid by other countries. They had already paid, he (Lord H.) could not say how much, but large as the sum was which had been paid to the West Indian Proprietors for their sacrifices by the Negro Emancipation, this country had been put to equal expense by payments to other countries, and in supporting a navy to stop the slave trail , . Could those now supporting the; measure at any future period say one word about stop ping the slave trade, if they went and dealt with those colonies worked by slavery, and where the importation of slaws was carried on to a frightful extent? What was the moment seized upon for doing this? The West Li diin colonists were now beginning to recover f-orn the shock consequent upon the emancipation, and to fled the way to the payment of money to the labourer', while the population now generally were returning to a sense of their duty, and the whole system was working well, when the proposed measure is put forte, which would throw the lands out of cultivation, stop the progress of civiliz ition amongst the negroes, and coupling the different means of raising money for the expenses of the civil departments, including moral and religious edu cation, all these were to be shaken to their foundations because the interests of the consumer were to be con sidered. He ( Lord Harewood) granted that the interests of the consumer should he considered, but not, to the ruin of the producer. This will not do either in the ques tion of corn or sugar. Was the product r to he overwhelmed by importation from the slave colonies, or was he to have a fair profit on the capital he employed ? The proposed measure was supposed to come from some who re commended what is called free trade. lie con cluded that it did so, because he could appeal to his Ilenourable Friend Mr. Burge, with es horn he had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Treasury, whither he (Lord Harewood) went with out any intention of speaking, but his spirit being roused he said to the Right Honourable Gentleman, that from what he heerd he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) meant to bring in foreign slave-grown sugar to the market ; and the answer was, that nothing which had transpired could !cad to that opinion—that the East Indies had disadvantageous duties as well as the British Colonies. Sugar would be introduced in foreign ships, and for what object?—that manufactures might be introduced to Brussels end such places in return. He was not speaking now in Yorkshire, but if he were he would speak as he did now—that the great crime of this country was in overstocking the market, which tempted men to the greatest dishonesty. The Anti-Slavery So ciety had not, as yet, announced their intention of joining them, but if they acted up to their principles he had a good opinion of the success of the objects they had in view. The Noble Lord resumed his seat amidst cheers. The SECRETARY read a letter from the General Shop owners' Society, addressed to the Noble Chairman, which stated that in consequence of the intention of her Majesty's Government to alter the duty on corn, sugar, and timber, which would be highly detrimental to the interests of those trading with the British colonies, and amongst the rest to the trade with North America ; they felt bound to exert their utmost energies in furtherance of the objects for which the meeting was called. The SECRETARY was then about reading petitions to both Houses of Parliament, embodying the views of the meeting. when, Mr. RIDGWAY said the more proper course for the meet ing to pursue would be to move a resolution, to which any person dissenting might move an amendment, as there might be many present who entertained different views from those contained in the petition. Mr. BURGE said that in order to afford an op portunity to any gentleman to speak, he (Mr. Burge) should move a resolution, and in doing so he should state his reason for calling on that meeting to adopt a petition praying both Houses of Parliament not to adopt a i nu a sure which would entail ruin on all those colonies n the east and west, where cultivation was effected by free labour. His proposition was, that this meeting should endeavour, by all means, to resist the attempt of her :/la jesty's Government to reduce the duty on sugar. There were connected with the consideration o f the objects of the present meeting, consequences so momentous that h e might be allowed, in a few words, to submit some of the m to the meeting, as furnishing the grounds on which they were called on to appeal against the measures of her Majesty's Government. The very fact of the extincti on of slavery brought difficulties of a p eculiar charactei— difficulties which he believed would, in a short titer, be surmounted, but which pressed with peculiar f orce on t h e colonies during the time following that extinction, and re quired, on the part of the Government, a system of con eilistion for the relief and removal of th e i r diffi cu l t i es . Now, on the part of t he colonist, the sacrifices they had made to continue the cultivation of the lands the colonies, had been of such a nature, and of such an ex tent, that they particularly needed the protection of the Government, and being protected against any mea sure that would tend to increase the difficulties attending thorn. A great difficulty pressing upon them was the great supply of free labour requ i re i f or cultiva tion. But they submitted to the difficulty on the faith that there was, on the part of th e G overnment , a deter mination to give effect to the great measure of Slave Emancipation, and to prote c t th e co l on i es f rom any at tempts which would have the e ff ec t o f su bj ect i ng t h em t additional difficulties in the cultivation of their estates. But not only were there individual difficulties, but the coloniste subjected themselves to increased burden s , w hi c h t h o na tare of the emancipation imperatively called for. They bad increased their churches,—they had made large grants for the religious instruction of all b ranc h es o f th e p eo pl e , without sectarian distinction.—( Cheers.) The addition which Jamaice made to the annual expenditure : - cir tiro ie purpose!, for the administration of justice, for emigration, and various others connected with the extinction of slavery, amounted to 200,0001. On the part of the colonists, they had done their pa-t in giving effect to emancipation, on which alone its success c'ependcd. Now, let them se , what the Government had done. He agreed with the Noble Lord that up to this time, and but far this Incisors. there was no man who could reuse paying to the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies a tribute of the high est admiration. He (Mr. Burge) bed been, since 1812. intimately acquainted with the govarnment cf the cell. nies, and never during that time saw a Secretary for the Colonies more worthy of respect or admiration than that Noble Lord. He (Mr. Barge) was act of the Noble Lord's political principle;, but he was attached to it e colonies, and the-efore the man who did most good for them, let him be Whig or Tory, rret with his warm ep• probation. Of the conduct of the Noble Lord the Se. cretary of Stem for the Color its, as such, he had invor;- ably heard the I mguage tee'. But that couleee end's made the present more appalling and dreadful in contrast with the ether. Loft , : John Russell 'was non bringing forward a measure for the increase of the slate-trade am, the destruction of these caloriies, werhe of the imitation, of all others, as, notwithztanding all difficulties, showing that free labour could be made available to the national prosperity, and that there could he no pretext for the con tinuation of slave labour. No man living could doubt bu that the effect of a reduction of the duty on foreign sugar would be to hold forth a premium and protection to sla very and the slave trade, as bringing destruction upor those colonies where freedom was first established. It was well known that with a population so small as that in the principal colonies it was riot possible that the prow Auction of free labour could compete with slave labour He begged those who felt an interest on that subject to remember that when Clarkson and Wilberforce first be gan their labours the number of slaves in St. Domingo did not exceed 70,000; at present the amount necessary to supply Cuba and the Brazils, whence the product was to come, by the measure now introduced by her Majesty's Government, was 150,000. That fact ought to tell in language which no man could resist. The measure was calculated not only to ruin the colonist, but to destroy the fairest hopes of the British nation. Were millions to be spent on foreige nations? Were vast sums to be exi-ten ded in the Niger expedition for the extinction of slavery, and the civilization of Africa, and at the very moment when this was bsing. done a measure was proposed to the nation, and to the British Parliaspent, which afforded a premium on that barbarous trade ? The petition, which it was one of the main objects of the meeting to adopt was to impress as strongly as possible the fact that the proposed measure would have the effect of putting out of cultivation the great commodity of the West Indies, and of putting the colonists completely out of the market, and leaving them no motives for cultivation of their estates. The moment that these measures became law that moment would the colonies become a wilderness, and what then would become of the negro po?ulation that had been emancipated ? They could not advance into civi lization, as upon the cultivation of the estates depended that. He could act but believe that those great and good men, Lushington, Buxton, and others, would be found holding up their hands in opposition to that measure of the British Government, which was to perpetuate the fo reign slay '-trade. In conclusion he would add, that the utmost sore had been bestowed in drawing up the patitier, by the West Indian Committee and the Hon. Member (Sir A. Grant) on the left of the Noble Chairman, and he, therefore, moved its adoption. Sir ALEXANDER GRANT said before seconding the motion of his Honourable Friend he thought it nc c 'scary to say a few words. His Hon. Friend had ad dressed them with much eloquence, but the meeting should boar in mind the object for which it was convened, They were a meeting of West • Indian proprietors, and their objects were to consider the effect which the pre posed resolution of the Chancellor of the Exchequer would bane on their property. He entirely concurred in what had fallen from his Hon. Friend upon the effect the proposed measure would have in rendering nugatory the large sums of money which had been granted for the extinction of the slave. trade. Still, strongly its he f: It on the matter, it did not appertain to the objects of the meeting ; what they were to lock to was the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposal, and it would require no de clarations the meeting were constituted according to the terms in which it was called, as West India proprietors. No one who came here actuated by other motives had a right to attend.—( Hear, hear.) Theacprestien the Chan - cellor of the Exchequer proposed was ie direct contrad•e tion to the arguments used in last session, when Mr. Ewart brought forward his motion for the equalisation of duties. The question the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed was that the duty on British colonial anger was to amount to what he termed „ 245. plus 5 per cent." lle stated thaf he proposed to reduce the duty on other sugar of course ; on slave labour from 565. to 365. plus S per cent. There were practical gentlemen present, and he (Sir A. Grant) would wish to know whether the na ture of the emenci.,,ation in the colonies by which they paid high wages for vet.) few hours of labour, did. not produce these results, nanicly, whether the cost of manufacturing one hundred weight of sugar is not larger than Pis. on the part of those using free labour, than on those who use, and who use unsparingly, the labour of slaves? if that were so, they had no protection whatsoever, but rather the contrary, for the protection was all on the sile of the slave grower.—( Hear, hear.) When the Chancellor of the Exchequer was asked by Mr. Goulburn to explain his intentions Oil the subject now under the consideration of the meeting, he replied that he was totally unprepared to statt the means by which this end was to be effected, but it was intended that there should be an alteration proposed its the duties, by which the returns to the revenue would be increased from 700,0001. to 1,000,000/. Mr. Gaul bura again inqu'red how that was to he done? when the Chanceller of the Exchequer replied, he was not then prepared to state the machinery by which it was to be effscted. The fact was, that on Thursday the Right lion. Gentleman, knew as little of the proposal he made on Fehlay, as any one in that assembly.—( Laughter. 1 The Hon. Baronet concluded by seconding the motion. The petition was then read, but it was merely an echo of the preceding speech. Mr. IRVING said he considered it bad policy to attend to Vats interests of the consumer independent of those of the producer. because, if the latter suffered from any par ticular cause, the former would soon experience the e%P, by a rise in prices. There were many ,commodities which would allow of a little- increase in price, and amongst theae was sugar, and for this he rtferred to a certain Report, published some time back. That paper was first published under the authority of a Committee of the House of Commons, for the sake of tting the public know what were the opinons cf the House on that subject. Now what was the opinion of Mr. M'Gregor, to which so much weight was attached? It was that the plan would produce to the revenue 6,000,0001. a-year.—( Hear, hear.) But what was the Chancellor of the Exchequer's opinion? What did he think he would gain by s?crificing the West Indian interest ?—( Hear, rue tr) —by sacrificing our whole colonial system, which had for ages bees regarded as oar greatest sonrce of strength and wealth ?,,-( Hear, hear.) Why, he expected only 700.0001 ?—and, for that sum, he would sacrifice the greatest colonial system that ever existed in the, svcrld—(Cheers)—a system which produced a revenue to this country of 7,Boo,oool.—(Cheers.) All that was to be sacrificed for 7,000,0001. of revenue, and a chance of 3,850,0001 from the trade with B-azils.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Labouchere stated the other night, in the House of Commons, that he had presented a petition feint the most respectable merchants in the city of London. But he (Mr. Irving) could assure the meeting that many O f those who signed that petition did so through misappre hension, and were prepared now to sign the petition to which he believed that meeting was about to agree.-- (Cheers.) He (Mr. I.) knew a gentleman who *as highly eulogised when the City petition was presented, and whose signature gave .it great weight. That gentleman, he could tell the meeting, bad since changed his mind, and was now determined to sign their petition. And, as it was advisable in their present position to make known any circumstance that tended to afford consolatiou, he would tell them that he had reason also to know that the gentlemen called the Anti-Slavery Society would sup port the greater part of the petition now read.—(Cheers.) He concluded by moving that the petition be adopted, and that the members of the West India body in London be requested to sign it immediately, so that it might be ready to be presented on Friday night. A GENTLEMAN requested permission to address a few words to the meeting before the question was put. He did not come there, be said, to interrupt this meeting, or to oppose their petition. He was a person interested In the West Indies, and in all the colonies, and most of all in this great nation itself, whose welfare was involved in this question. It was true that 20,000,0001. had been paid for the extinction of slavery in the West Indies ; but it was also true that it was not yet extinguished there.—(Much dicapprobation and laughter. Cries of Not true.") Sir A. GRANT said that the meeting ought to be in formed of the gentleman's name, and whether he was con nected with the West Indian interest. Lord HAREM:Km said the gentleman had handed a card, from which be learned that his name was Ridgway, and that he lived in Leicester-square. He (the Chairman) did not know whether ho was interested in the West Indies. But he did not think it would be for the credit of the meeting that any gentleman who-thought that the mea sures of the Government now under their consideration af fected the interest of the colonies of the nation at large, 'should not be allowed to express his sentiments. Sir A. GRANT—The gentleman says he has an interest in the West Indies. I beg to ask him in what relation ? Mr. RIDOWAY—I will not answer that question. —( 011 ' oh, and laughter.) He pr.:smiled to say that with rewet to the slave.trade in Brazil, it was perfectly notorious t h at it was carried on to a great extent by British cap -if: . the (Oh, db, and cries of " What has that to do g question.") He thought that the British people_me s t e h i a v d e s, a right to say in what way they would be ta xe:th for the 20,000,000/. was what they had paid for i the eman cipation of the slaves in the West Indies. As he saw there was au indisposition to bear him, he would not tres pass further.—(Cries of " Go on, go on ly / 111 r. idgway whether, Severrl gentlemen appealed to in fairness, he was nut bound to acknoalbedge „titre was every disposition to give him an atte , nt_'ve s r•ng as long as be chose to speak—(Cries of 'Go on e )—but he re mained silent.

EVENING EDITION not hear it asserted in that room that slavery still existed in the West Indies without denying it, because :be knew it to be false._( Applause.) He had supported the Eman cipation, although he held the first mortgage on three large estates in Jamaica—(Hear, hear)—and his interest was equal to the whole value of those estates, as might be known from the fact that the trustee could not pay him.— ( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It had nothing to du with this question, whether or not the slave-trade in Brazil was carried on with British money or not. If it was so the Britigh capitalists were guilty of felony, and ought to be punished.—( Hear, hear.) As to the subject of their petition he could only express his opinion that 'it would ruin the colonies. It would cause the necessity for an agrarian law in the West Indies, or lead th e Degree s to imitate the conduct of their brethren in St. Domingo. The Earl of HAItaWOOD said that in all assemblies in which the interests of men were concerned, a little warmth of temper was to be expected.—(Hear, bear,) But he thought it was right that every gentleman should be al lowed to express himself, however his opinions might differ from the majority of those present. He was glad that Mr. Ridgway had made the statement respecting the employment of British capital in the Brazilian slave trade. It was certainly one thing to know a fact, and another to be able to prove it; but if Mr. Ridgway could make good his charge he would do service to his country, and credit to himself. The resolution was then carried unauimonaly, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman the meeting separated. THE LIVERPOOL CLERGY AND THE " TRACTS FOR THE TIMES." TO THE HON. AND RIGHT REV. RICHARD, LORD BISHOP OF OXFORD. May it please your Lordship, We, the undersigned Clergymen of the Church of Eng- , land, resident in Liverpool and its vicinity, venture most respectfully to address your Lordship on a subject which we humbly conceive to affect most materially the inter es:a of that Church, to the doctrines and discipline of which ee are sincerely and conscientiously attached. We have now, for a considerable period, regarded with the most lively and anxious feelings of alarm the continued publication of certain tracts, entitled, " Tracts for the the Times," written by " Members of the University of Oxford," in your Lordship's diocese. Whilst we are willing to allow that, in consequence of the imperfection of the human understanding, a certain degree of diversity of opinion must ever Le expected to exist among so large a body of men as the clergy of the Church of England, not only re specting questions of doctrine generally, but also respect ing the meaning of some particular expressions in the for. mu!aries of our Church, which, not being inconsistent with ecclesiastical unity, may not be thought justly desery - ing of censure, we are at the same time of opinion that many of the statements contained in these " Tracts " do not fall within the limits of any reasonable latitude of in terpretation. We, therefore, cordially rejoice to see, from the charge delivered by your Lordship three years ago, that those statements had attracted your special attention ; at the same thre we have regretted to observe that the characteristic mildness of your Lordship's language, instead of producing the effect which might have been so justly anticipated from it, appears to have emboldened the authors of them to assume that they were not, in your Lordship's judg ment, held guilty of any departure from the dcctrines of the Church. Publications have therefore been continued, the general spirit and tendency of which have been so pc:ea, in our judgment, to the received faith of tee Church, as seriously to perplex the minds of many of its lay members, and not only so, but also to turn aside several of our younger brethren in the Ministry from the " old path" of that Scriptural course which, by their ordination vow they solemnly engaged to pursue. We learn, however, with unfeigned satisfaction, that No. 90 in the said series of Tracts, lately published, and entitled " Remarks on certain Passages in the Thirty nine Articles," has been deemed by your Lordship so calculated to di,turb the peace of the Church, that your episcopal influence has been exerted for the sup pression of the evil. And it is nut in any ME eious spirit that we take the liberty of presenting our respectful thanks to your Lordship, hut hecause, being alive to the deep concern which it must have occasioned to your Lordship's paternal f clings to be obliged to issue such en dthnonitlon to any of your clergy, we desire to assure your Lordship, that in the discharge of this painful but ne e :nary duty you have tho sincere sympathy a - ad fervent prayers of many attached clergy men vaho are personally unknown to your Lord ship ; and because v,e ar' penetrated with a serge of the duty which we our;tives owe to the Church, thus pub licly to avow our con,ictiun of the unscriptural and schis. mitical char.x:cr of the public itiona in question, and the tnst - quent eccesstty for authoritat'vc interference if any thing tf::serving the name of (ulesiastictil urof.trinity is to be mliut tined in the resin).

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As your columns scent ever open to communica. tions which to late to the public well-thing, or arc con nected with the question of individual benefit, I venture to trespass on your time, and to solicit a niche in your co lumps. Favouritism, I f.ar, mingles often in Pariiamen tary Committees and Government Commissions of Inqui ries, ai.d hence a (P.m-sided and partial view of the question terminates the case. I had no reason to be disappointed in the very impeifect and useless investigation on the subject ef shipwreck, consigned to a Committee appointed by Parliament, whoa Mr. Deonett was not examined, and his rackets, way superior to the invention of Manby, termed no item in the recommendations of the Committee ; but I think I have a right to complain in the case of the favouritism shoan to Harris, of Plymouth, in the recom mendation for adopting his conductors in the British Navy. The opi dons of F,traday, Daniell, and Wheatstone, the personal friends of Mr. Harris, seem to have been ane plus ultra, and were made to beer entirely and exclusively on his lightning rod, as if no other had been in existence, or even propo,e My lightning conductors have been long before the pub lic and tacit efficiency fully proved in many a thunder stcrm during the last twelve years, so that there is nothing hyputhiticai or problematical in reference to my Even- More tl,ao thirty of these conductors hate been erected ia Yorkshire alone. It has been described in my work on the subject, as well as in the " Annals of Elec tricity." lam not aware that Harris's conductor has ever been erected, and Mr. Roberts and Mr. Sturgeon have controverted its efficacy. My lightning conductor comes before the public recom mended for its economy and simplicity, while it stipulates all the conditions which should enter into the composition of a complete storm conductor, calculated on the sound principles of induction. Its perfect security has never been questioned, nor has arty one ventured to doubt the absence of any of the elements of a good lightning rod. It may certainly be received as an axiom, that a bad or im perfect conductor is infinitely worse than no conductor at alt. The elements of a good conducting medium for light ning in the storm arc these :—A provision for its prompt and safe receipt—a continuous conducting medium for its subsequent transit, that being a material fraught with the best conducting character—and further, a safe escape to the subsoil or to water. As lightning penetrates to a dcpth scarcely appreciable the substance of good conduc tors, a considerable superficial extent is requisite. I employ copper gas piping, screwed together in defi nite lengths, and terminating above in an elongated solid copper pyramid. Immediately beneath this terminus the bellow stem is perforated, so that the lightning may also lie cetrete the interior. This interior surface :any be pre.. Stlvod for ever free from oxidation. The continuous rod enters the earth, and terminates in a well, or the subsoil. In order to protect the external surface from oxidation, I apply the galvanic principle of strips of zinc, insulated by 'bands of leather, and connect the zinc with the copper stem by copper wire. It is easy to see the application of this conductor to ships. The higher parts of the conductor may be made to slide into each other like the tubes of a telescope, to meet the contingencies of the topmast and topgallant mast being struck (lowered) in a storm. The lower end of the conductor passes through the keclston. Yours, &c., May 1, 1841. J. MURRA Y ', P. S. Apart from the question of " the lateral explo sion," I consider a smooth rounded surface eseential to the character of a good conducting medium. --.----.....„. TO THE EDITOR — OF THE 'SUN. my re of truth el He, Slit,—l beg to apologise for intrudi n g myself ag self. ain upon your kindness, but being accused of misrepresenta tion by Mr. Blily, I should wish to exp lain Mr, Bally, says " that the assertion is a mixtu and error. At the commencement of the discussion the decr easing Mr. Brindey's majority were greatly averse to Socialism, but, notwith standing the misreprewentations and calumnies of Mr. Brindley, the expimot i on .of Mr. Lloyd J ones, n e c ri s s i s n it u y a bad the effect of rapidly on ly a b a u b t is 73 . o, alone being present 'fion the part li ° a n t existed for majority every night." And, further, t h e pit;cp of nie;;;ing was too remote fur many of the Inenibe,Q. of tik. Metropolitan Social Branches to attend, tho:., a the m arest numb2ring' o i in iv a l n r y . c s o a n i s i i i d clearlyerablc f.ohrocel•-'s: thisT my f 'not r letter• mo uld make was really the fact of the Case, as Mr. Balled wou i but I. it appear to be, I would candidly acknoge 8 , can only imagine that Mr. B• was notprese2tor he would not hav . co , me to such a con. clusiae. A t the o utset of the second night's discus Brindley 'proposed a gentleman as moderator, ion Mr. Mr. put to the meeting, hut not carried M 'w was then propised a gentleman for the sam e . r. Lloyd Jones which was carried by an overwhelming cffizo on his side, elesrly showing that at s o „rl, majority, thus of those present acre in fay-) '' a . , period the greater part ,cords, Sociali.ti. , ur of Mr. Jones, or, in other Mr. Bally i.voes on to state "that the assembly of ody a f, , v thousand,; of individuals, &c., is a very fair criterion of tie truth or error cf the new system of society." On the .am, principle, if a meeting, nine-tent.hs of which consisted of soldiers, was to take place to hear two par ties in discussion upon war—whether beneficial or not to mankind, and at the conclusion of such debate to put it to the meeting for their opinion, would not the soldiers cause the majority? And that a resolution go the round of :he leading Journals to the effect " that the destroying of a portion of the human race would be very beneficial to all mankind." I should think would be considered even by the Socialists themselves to be the very height of folly. With reference to the obligation that would be confer. red upon Mr. Baily by Mr. Brindley accepting the challenge of Mrs. Martin, I beg to say that in this matter I cannot assist hire, not being in any way personally known to Mr. Brindley. The insertion of this letter in you invaluable paper will greatly oblige. Sir, Your very obedient and obliged servant, BENJAMIN •SWALLOW.
