A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a banns to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual ritcrest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the i rnmediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 100/., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits £1 13 30 40. 50 0 with profits £1 IS 0 6 3 4 nr short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

TE GOUT CURED FOR A SHILLING HENRY'S MAGIC PILLS, for the Cure of the Gout Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatism, and all Rheumatic Affections. These Pills, now first offered to the public for those pre valent dis.ases, are the property of a gentleman of fortune, and who, anxious to relieve the sufferings of his fellow-creatures, offers them at a price much under what is usually charged by those whose object is to profit by the sale, and winch, he hopes, while it pays the expenses of claiming for it the notice of the public, will be found within the means of the most needy sufferer. They give immediate and almost magical relief, frequently curing a most violent attack in twenty. four hours, and seldom indeed requiring more than the contents of a box to be taken, saving the time and pains of the patient in a most astonishing manner. They are used for all Gouty and Rheumatic symptoms, under the variou s names of Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, ; create appetite, improve digestion, and so renovate the general health, as to astonish every one who has taken them.

After her death, Lowe, with fie assistance of a confidential neighhcur and friend, a female, proceeded to look over his deceased wife's wearing apparel, with a view of making a dis tribution of them among some of her relations, when to his utter astonishment he found secreted in various drawers upwards of 6001., of which he was altogether ignorant; in one place he found 3601. in gold, in another fifteen 51. notes, and in a third place a hoard of various kinds of money, making, , as we hav e b e f ore said, upwards of 6001. M r . Lowe 's occupation was formnly that of a warden in the Dock-yard, a rather humble station, but he has for several years past been superannuated on a very small income.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAT MORNING.—The meeting of the League last evening was one of the largest and • most enthusiastic that has assembled in Manchester since the recommencement of the agitation. It was held in the Picture Gallery, .Newall's-buildings. George Wilson, Esq., took the chair, and oa his right were seated Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. for Stock port, and Richard Walker, Esq., M.P. for Bury. Dr. Bowring, .M.P. for Bolttm, and Mark Philips, Esq., M.P. for Manchester, and George Thompson, Esq., sat on the left of the Chairman. Amongst the company present were :—Alderman Walker, Alder man Brooks, William Rawson, Esq., Henry Rawson, Esq., William Lockett, Esq., Charles Cobden, Esq., T. Woolley, Esq., J. Corry, Esq., and Samuel Lees, Esq. There were a great number of ladies present. Richard Walker, Esq., and Dr. Bowring, had beea specially invited for the occas i on, and The CHAI4MAN opened the proceedings b% intro ducing the former gentleman to the meeting. RICHARD WALKER, Esq., M.P., then came forward and was loudly applauded. Ht said.—Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen—lf r felt convinced that I had ability sufficient to discuss this question—and I con fess 1 have not, for I am rather accastomed, in the House of Commons, to give silent votes than make bad speeehes(Applause)—l should labour under some embarrassment ; bait, knowing that I have no new argument to advance, I only bring with me one recommendation, which is that of 'a fixed determina tion to co-operate with the Anti-Comalaw League in effort which they may choose to make for the purpose of removing from our statute-book that most obnoxious law, which is repugnant to every sound principle of commercial legislation, opposed to common sense, fraught with injustice, and, I believe in my heart, detrimental to every class in the com munity.—(Applause.) You have, within your own precincts, a power of eloquence so commanding, that it is quite unnecessary for.' me at any length to dilate upon this question. It is better understood by you than by myself. I am quite confident of that ; but, at the same time, knowing that your treasury is so full of facts that cannot be refuted, that my mite can scarcely be acceptable, yet I hope you will be convinced, by my ready acceptance of your invita tion, with which I felt myself greatly honoured, that I am ready to bear my share of the obloquy that may attach to the League, which is endeavoured to be cast upon them, I trust unayctlingly, by those who are in the interest of monopoly.—(Applause.) Before I go into the state of our own districts, I will just advert to a correspondence which has lately taken place between one of your lecturers and a Noble Duke.—(Hear, hear.) I know that Noble Duke to be a very honourable and straightforward person ; and I believe he only states what he believes to be true. He is, however, in my opinion, greatly mis taken in the view which he takes of this question ; and I think when the people are well instructed, the people of this country will unite as one man in con demnation of this law, both in its spirit and its ten dency, in its principles and its details.—(Applause.) The Noble Duke is a Legislator, and consequently a public man ; therefore we cannot be indifferent to the votes which he gives in his, place in Parliament, nor to the opinions which guide his votes; but I be lieve him to be very much mistaken upon this ques tion, and he will find, ere long, that the people will arouse from their lethargy, and will endeavour to erase from the statute book a law which was passed by partial legislators for their own benefit, to the detriment of every other class.—(Applause,) Now, ladies and gentlemen, I will endeavour to state to you what is the position in which our unhappy manufacturing district is placed at present. We have seen, within the last five years, that our trade has greatly declined; the capital of our merchants and manufacturers has been daily diminishing; the people ere half-fed and half-employed; the Poor -rates in our manufacturing towns• have increased three or four fold—(Hear, hear)—Our workhotises are crowded with inmates—(lfear, hear)—the savings of the frugal, and industrious, which were intended to supply the wants of old age, are exhausted to supply the pressing wants of the day. The polished furniture of our arti sans is exchanged for food, or distrained for rent to their landlords ; their decent Sunday clothing in the pawnshops ; our shopkeepers behind their counters wanting customers; in short, we have nearly a de struction of the social system. And what must re sult from this state of things ? What we have seen , will occur again ; the disruption of social order, the Magistrates of the distri c t expect i ng momen tary out • breaks, the peace only preserved by the presence of the military power, our gaols crowded with rioters, Special Commissions in every manufacturing county, ships freighted with transports to the antipodes— (Hear, hear)—and pauperism, instead of being . the exception, will, if no t i ntercepte d, become the rule—(Hear, hear)— an d the efforts of :the League during the l as t sess i on o f P ar li amen t prevailed upoi the Governm en t to ma k e. some c hange in the Corn-law. That ch ange was, i n my m i n d, o f very limited extent ; it was so small a mercy that I believe we were so ungracious as not even to be thankful for it.—(Applause.) The vicious system of the sliding scale and the average has been retained, thereby limiting our supplies, as usual, to the nearer ports of Europe, and denying us th ose supplies which we would have in abundance fr om t h e fertile plains of America—(Hear, hear)—wher e our c l o thi ng an d- our manufactures of various kinds would be received as a boon in exchange for their own commodities. — (Applause.) To this system of policy we may attrie Bute the hostile tariff of the - United States of Ame rica —(Hear, hear).-,--and if this vicious policy be pursued, we may expect the same retribution from the Brazilian Government, provided we do not re ceive,nd as we ought to do, their coff ee an d sug ar on fair a equitable terms.—(Applaus e .) I myself have no reeling against the present Government, providel that Government will do its duty to the people.— (Applause.) My votes have always been given in Parliament with the view of benefiting mankind, and not of benefiting a party.—(Loud applause.) I shall continue to pursue that course. For, Sir Robert Peel, as an individual,l have a very high personal regard. I knew hi m i n hi s ear ly d a y s ; f knew his father. It was his father who gave the first impetus to the industry of the district in which I live—(Applause)—and his exalted talents and private worth have conferred distinction upon the town of his birth, which town I have had the honour to represent since the passing of the Reform Bill.— (Applause.) But I frankly confess I can place con fidence in no Government which pursues a policy which I conceive to be so directly opposed to the real welfare and 'happiness of the community at large.— (Applause.) The people are now in a state of de spondence, without help, and without hope ;. and; ex cept we change our system, I see no immediate pro spect of their distresses being relieved. I approve greatly of the plans of the League, and of their pro jects in, endeavouring to act upon distant constituen cies, in order that Members may be sent by them whose views shall be favourable to those of the League. My friends, there is a very wide field for the exertions of Hear, hear.) If ended upon the —( t.l.4ancaster and the Members n h h the eb eLr repeales a League of in this ty t a le i t s h oeucroun ownt Corn-lawsc oouf depended y boroughs within it we could not carry the question. —(hear, hear.) With what face ? then, c an we go amongst agricultural constituencies , even when we Can not in our county return a majority of Members fa vourablewhose interests are so vitally important, and we so this county, deeplyaffetcot e d t the y repeal r t ep he e . alof operationthi law—in s of the c r n a w s (Hear, hear.) Why, my friends, our duty is to work well in our own field. If we cannot make converts, let us till the ground and prepare it, and sow good seed; and when a general election arrives, which of course it will do in process of time—how long it may be first I cannot tell—we shall reap an abundant har vest, which will amply compensate you for all the labour and money you have expended in effecting the abolition of this abominable law.(Applause.) Dr. BOWRING, M.P., then rose, and was loudly cheered. lle said : Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle men, I think I can address to you some words of con gratulation, t s In o c ' o orriscontinue ue o to move uovew encouragement,forar which will upon that path upon whicli you have entered.—(Hear.) I said that we had progressed ; and wherever I look around me, I see marks of that progress. Sir Robert Peel himself is under the despotism of necessity; he has proclaimed principles, to which he, and whoever fol. lows him, must give effect. He has become a lecturer on political economy in the House of Commons ; and Sir Robert Peel must carry out those doctrines which he has declared to be true.—(Applause.) I was t o ld yesterday, in London, that already as many as forty .Members had determined to . desert Sir Robert Peel, that they were already alarmed at the concessions he had made to public opinion.—(Applause.) But I am told that Sir Robert Peel himself, and certain friends of Sir Robert Peel, begin to anticipate, that for every . one who shall desert him for the good he is doing, he will receive the addition of two from our side.—(Ap i plause. Like any Hon. Friend, I am not bound to the car . of any Minister, but that Minister I will follow farthest who shall do most for the people.—(Ap plause.) The minds of mankind are open, from the highest to the lowest, to receive new impres sions. in which I was horn, I mingled a good deal with the rustic and rural population, and I found, from the first to the last among them, nothing but the heaviest vituperations directed against the present Prime Mi nister. The language they held was'this, to use their own phraseology—" Drat him, he's Worser than Lord John ; Lord John only touched the corn, but he has touched the bullocks. He's worser than Lord John, and sorry we are that we ever brought him into power." —(Applause and laughter.) It is my belief that Sir Robert will listen to much such language in the corn ing session of Parliament. It will' perhaps came t-, him in more polished phraseology, and be repeated with every sort of courtesy. But the matter will be discussed. Bad as the Whigs were, he is worse than the 'Whigs, and he must, for his own salvation, go further than they dared to do.—(Applause.) Some of his agricultural friends, however, have already dis covered that their fears were somewhat exaggerated, and that there is not so much ground for apprehension as they supposed with reference ,to the inroad of fo• reign cattle. Sir John Tyrrel has assured the Essex farmers that the beef of America is bad ; that the pork is unpalatable; and that the sheep are made up of only skin and; wool.—(Applause and laughter.) Gentlemen, the commercial mind is expanding; it is becoming greater—it is becoming too great for its fetters; it must burst them—it must be emancipated. —(Applause.) Commerce will as certainly get rid of its chains as ever the slave did, for the commercial principle is greater than the slave, and its triumph will be greater.—(Applause.) Among the great ser vices which the League has done, I will venture to refer to those many important collateral questions which have been agitated in consequence of the per petual references made to the burden of the Corn-laws. How many great principles have sparkled out of these debates ! How much has public attention been di rected to free trade in the abstract, to the pacific principle as connected with the development of trade, to the vicious character of our taxation, to the ques tion of wages, to the improvement of machin er y ! Upon all light has been thrown, and .you, who were charged specially with the guidance of one important truth, have given birth and circulation to hundreds, and have brought light into every portion of the field of commercial and political inquiry.—:(Applause.) If you like, we will trace the progress of things. Since the great work of Adam Smith, the Most important fact that took place was the presentation or a ,free-trade pe tition in the year 1820. That petition, I believe, was written by Mr. Tooke, and it was presented to the House of Commons by the present Lord Ashbur ton.—(Applause.) The next important step in the interests of free-trade was the publication of the " Ca techism of' the Corn-laws," by my Hon. and Gallant Friend, Colonel Thompson.—(Applause.) I have seen with delight that the League and. the country have begun justly to value the eminent services of that distinguished and excellent man—a man, bound as I am to him by ties more than brotherly, of whom I shall not venture to speak as I otherwise would ven 'hire ta do. But, my friends, I assure you, a mind beating with a higher and a nobler benevolence, an intellect morearaled by philosophy and beneficence, exists not; and I trust that this country will, ere long, have the advantage. of seeing that gallant man in the place which he ought to occupy, fighting the battles of free-trade in the Senate of his country.— . (Loud ap plause.) His name, I belieVe, is familiar to vou all; but his multitudinous services, his generous devotion, his pecuniary sacrifices, are known but to few.— (Hear ' hear.) Then the next most magnificent step forward was the establishment of the Anti-Corn-law League—(Applause)—at whose birth,l had the honour of being present—(Applause)—whose christening I also witnessed; and I believe I can claim for myself the Luggestion of the name it bears.—(Hear.) I have seen that League grow up in goodly proportion, standing erect in power and in majesty, equal to the great work it has undertaken; and I salute it with an " All hail."—(Applause.) Neit in co-operation and in advancement of the same principles, came out the Report of the Impart Duties' Committee.—(Hear, hear.) When the motion for that Committee was made in the House of Commons, nobi)dy anticipated such important consequences from the inquiry. The , first step of my honourable friend, a man again, whose services are greater than any language of mine can describe, Mr. Hume—(Applause)—when he made the first movement, few, indeed, saw its iniportanee ; few believed that it would be proved' to demonstration by the inquiries of that Committee, that while the people of this country were paying an indirect tax of fifty millions, a great part of which was a penalty for the folly of their ancestors, a still greater sum than fifty millions was taken from them in the dark, by indirect taxation, by monopolies, the hand of the pilferer being altogether concealed.—(Applause.) The Report of the Import Duties' Committee, was, indeed, a grain of mustard-seed, which has grown up to a great tree, so great, so magnificent, that we are all of us delighted to shelter ourselves under its branches. We have planted a goodly tree, and you have watered it ; and Sir Robert Peel has been shaking 'that tree, and gathering some of its matured and healthy fruits.—(Applause.) Now, the ,power of introducing most important changes is in our own hands. I know that we cannot directly force a foreign nation to alter its tariff, but we can do so indirectly. Let us buy.—(Applause.) Let us buy, and we shall find people to sell ; and from the moment we find a man to sell, he'll take care to pay himself, otherwise he would give us whathe proposes to sell.— (Applause.) I was very much struck with an ad dress which was presented from the poor and suffer ing weavers of Lyons to the Chambers of France on the subject of free trade. I always refer to Lyons with feelings of interest, because Lyons, like Manches ter, has given a noble example. The silk trade of France being the most important of her manufactures, and the least protected, is undoubtedly the most flou rishing ; and the city of Lyons has always lent its in fluence to the attempts which have been made to emancipate the commerce of France. A petition which came from the weavers of Lyons, began with these emphatic words :—" We are poor, we are ignorant ; but, notwithstanding our poverty, and notwithstand ing our ignorance, every one of us feels that a nation that wants to sell must consent to buy."—(Loud applause.) These principles I said be fore are making progress, progress everywhere. A few days ago I happened to be in the company of that most illustrious man, Dwarganauth Tagore, a man who is a prince among merchants, and a merchant among princes. I took an opportunity of ascertaining his opinions on free trade, and he said, after remark ing on the anxiety to maintain the monopolies of the East Indies, after they had opposed that of the West, " But I observe that everywhere the same state of things exists ; one man has protection because his interest is small, and wants much ; another has pro tection because his interest is large, and therefore deserves protection on account of its importance.-- (Laughter.) One man will have protection because he is connected with weakness, and that requires assistance; another, because his monopoly is associated with strength, and where there is * strength it ought not to be neglected. It is the same thing everywhere, in the East and in the West." But, happily, if the story of monopoly is the same, the interests of truth are the same.—(Applause.) I dare say that many of those around me have read an exceedingly interesting book which has been lately published by Charles Dickens, whose tact is so exquisite; and whose bene volence and whose sympathies are thrown over so ' wide a field of thought and action. Have you read his account of the factories of Lowell ?—(Hear.) Of the manner in which they are dressed—associated even with elegance, of the piano on which they play, of the libraries which circulate among them, of the periodical in which they write?—(Applause.) I wish the working people of England would study that affecting picture, and ask themselves whether this state of felicity is owing to any impediment put upon the improvement of machinery, to any "Ten-hours Factory Bill," to any interference in -,the question of wages. Dr. Bowring then expatiated in praise of the pacific principle. He characterised commercial wars, such as those in Affghanistan arid China, as absurd and wicked. He eulogised the mission of Lord Ash burton, and its happy termination, and remarked upon the baleful effects of 'Lord Abinger's late charge, and was glad that he had received castigation. He ex pressed himself further that our system of taxation required change, and he dwelt with, pleasure upon Miss Martineau's refusal of the pension proffered her. Dr. Bowring then concluded in these - words :—I did. indeed, rejoice in the formation of this League' every measure you . have taken seems to hay.e" ) Jeen crowned with success ; every day you in - re grown greater and more terrible. Yew' - ..wt move is a majestic one. (Applause.)- T t. ;las startled, it has staggered, it has stunned'the monopolists.—(Applause.) "Fifty thou sand pounds," say they, "front Manchester, from the men oi l Manchester, who always do what they pro mise to do, and more than they promise ! Th ere i s no. hope s ma salvation for us."—(Applause.) The . question was asked me at the aristocratic clubs, " Can this be true ? Da they really believe they are able to raise 50,0001?" And the answer I gave was, "Do not they say so? And they are in the habit o f doing whit they purpose to do."—(Loud and prolonged applause.) • rile CHAIRMAN now rose, " and n.troluced to the meeting G. Thompson, Esq., who, he said, was ab not to sail for India, and would take th:s opportunity of delivering his farewell addreSS. He confessed it was a matter of great pain to him, as he was sure it would be to every one present, however they might feel in terested in the mission he was about to undertake, to lose Mr. Thompson at this juncture, when his ser vices were of so much importance to the cause in which they were engaged.—(Applause.) G. TnompsoN, Esq., then came forward amidst most enthusiastic cheering. He said—l am extremely happy that I have once more an opportunity of ad dressing an audience in -Manchester, and ofexpressing my firm attachment to a cause which I deeply regret I shall not be able for some time to labour for, in consequence of being called, as I think, and so my friends around me think, to pursue the path of duty in another direction. Sir, there is one point of view in which this cause may be regarded, which to me appears an important one, and as you have called upon me to address this meeting, I shall make a few remarks upon it—l mean the Con nection between the present appalling distresses of the - country and the acts of the Govern ment, and between both of these and the morals of the people.—(Hear, hear.) It is one of the most in spiring and mysterious considerations in relation to the nature of man, that his morality, so mighty in it self, and so endless in its issues, should be exposed to mortification and injury from every influence that reaches him through life. The passions of his parents and playmates affect it, long after lie is removed from their locality and sight. The influence of antedilu vian biography—the remotest imaginings of fancy— the tales of time nursery— the weeds of the garden the loves and fears of far-off strangers—the dreams of his neighbours—the fall of a thunderstorm, or the song of a ballad-hawker, are all elements in the causes that collaterally affect the morality of our nature.— (Hear.) Over that, however, and a thousand other coadjutant forces, the will of man should, and can exert a presiding potency, and an all-subordinate con trol. The power to do this constitutes part of our moral obligation ; the omission to exercise this power —a power of which we are all conscious—is " the head and front of our offending." Perhaps there is nothing that can be named next to _ the power of — domestic life, that operates on our morals with suc h un if orm emphasis as the laws under which we live.—(Hear.) Let me illustrate this by reference to circumstances around us. :Poverty is, it is well known, when expressive, in most instances the mother of crime. (hear, hear.) If,- therefore, the laws of a country doom the greater part of its people to a state of poverty, they become permanent "ministers of sin"—(Hear, hear)—and as far as they have this tendency, they are chargeable with the guilt of immorality. —(Applause.) What an appalling mass, then, of antagonist power are the governments of:the world ! The anathemas uttered in Paradise contained.the elements inimical to the moral interests of the banished parents of our race. But, alas ! the influence of most bodiej, of human law is ultimately ruinous to the character of the people for whose go vernment they were framed. An immoral law is se minal revolution ; and, like all other seminal powers, requires only that time and circumstances should ela borate the mighty mischief. Hence the decline of for mer empires. Assyria, Greece, Rome, Carthage, where are they ? And the same cause will precipitate, if not counteracted, our own fall. Immoral laws generally begin their history by creating false wealth, and ' false standands of excellence and power—which again become the seeds of other evils, and work the ruin of the State. Take the subject of poverty, in connec tion with the spread of religion. A greater obstacle to the spread of religious truth, and its influences on the hearts of the people of this country (apart from the natural indisposition of the human mind to the reception of peculiar doctrines), does not exist, than the excessive and:wide-spread destitution of the people. —(Loud cheers.) Take, for example, the small num ber of the poorest of the people, who attend the va rious places of religious worship. To say nothing of the sense of shame which keeps them back—or their inability to pay pew rents—or to leave their Sabbath contributions behind them. How is it possible, even in well-regulated minds, to disabuse the heart of care that has already became familiar with the pangs of hunger ?—(llear, hear.) Religion commands con tentment with some, but surely not with ever• de gree-of indigence—or with indigence by whatsoever cause brought about. God has designed all his crea tures should labour ; but he certainly has not designed that they should starve as their reward.--(Cheers.) In dustry is necessary to religion ; but where industry has no labour, how (in ill-educated minds, at least) is the assertion that "Godliness is profitable to all things, and has the promise of this life as well as of that which is to come," to be made compatible with compulsory mendicity ? The poor naturally interrogate, "Is it of God that we live on nettle porridge sprinkled with meal, while the aristocracy, who are no more than we his creatures, squander more in the gorgeous liveries of their saddle-horses and in the splendid kennels and good food of their hounds, than we can procure by in cessant toil and mdchanical skill ?"—(Applause.) Iu vain does the preacher enjoin contentment to such questioners, or point them to their inalienable free hold in heaven. The range of evangelical truth has no reply to hunger but " Work with your hands, that ye may eat that which is good." But poverty bewails, " No man hath hired us." To the rich, the mi nister is enjoined to say, " If thou seest thy brother have need, and shuttest up the bowels of thy compassion, how dwelleth the love of God in thee ?" But, for the most part the admonition is as unheeded as the ambiguous ravings of the Pythoness. What is the preacher's alternative ? Either to take the side of the poor and demand justice from the Government, and , thus drive the rich from their pews by what in re venge they will soon stigmatise a 3 " political preach ing ; ' or, by passing over the sacred claims of the population, sunken to beggary, by a few words of cheap condolence, thus for ever lose their ears and their hearts.—(Hear.) This, we are sorry to say, is the alternative which many have chosen. We are the judge of none ; but we cannot escape the con viction that the pulpit has lost much of its power over the masses of the people, from the coy and reluctant advocacy with which it has taken up this cause.— (Loud cheers.) Sir, let me not b e suppose d as at all sympathising with the spirit, and still less with the acts of some who have stood forward to aid the cause of political regeneration. Whatever is alien in temper or conduct from the precepts and genius of the Gospel, I would and do condemn. But am I, therefore, blind to the shortcomings and delinquencies of those who ought to be and might be, from their holy sphere, the expounders and champions of political morality ? Far from it. I charge upon their negligence and their time-serving, those evils in the shape of violence and tumult, which attach to a movement which is coldly and scornfully left to be managed by those who are not possessed of their influnce, their education, or their wisdom. Look at the influence ministers ex erted upon the emancipation question.—(Applause.) It was said, and not without reason, that the cause was carried by Quakers and dissenting ministers. Did the impair:their usefulness by:so doing ?--(llear.) Far from it. They now point, with self-exultation, to their labours and triumphs in the cause. Tell me what has given the Baptist and other missionaries the mighty hold they have upon the affections and confi dence of the population of the West India Islands— . a power by means of which the missionaries, and not the soldiers—the Gospel, and not the proclamations of Government, have moulded the hundreds'and thousands of swarthy and new-born freemen to the obedience and reverential regard for the law ?—(Applause.) What! Why the knowledge that these men stood boldly by them in their bonds—(Cheers)—rebuked the oppressor—demanded justice—took the spoiling of their own goods joyfully, and fought, like Michael, till the fell dragon of slavery went howling fr c ,, a) , th e fair islands of the Carribean Sea to find a sheltr jr _i let only for a time—under the proud str udm a - a r ilt 0e the Any rican capital.—(Cheers.)

And now, that we have proved our love to you by first obtaining the bread that perishes, we beseech you to give an equal credit for sincere zeal for your welf are i n urg i ng you to seek the better and abiding substance which is in heaven.—(Cheers.) Would such effects, backed by sm h serv:ces, be without effect ?—(" No, no.") In some cases they would, for man is not only wicked, but ungrateful ; hit in many instances I am con fident that untold results of goodness would follow the labours of the ministers in the cause of hu manity, not to say religion, too.—(Great applause.) And what can be a finer theme for any man placed in society in this world than the morality of government. The theory of law is but an elaboration of the principles of justice applied to society. But the practice of law is, for the most part, tyranny and fraud —supported by the wealth of the factious, and the ignorance and imbecility of the people.—(Cheers.) Whence come wars and rumours of wars, but from an invasio n somew h ere o f t h e r i g ht s o f political jus tice ? Whence the wide-spread cruelties and oppres sions of India—the horrors of the slave-trade—the wicked assaults on China—the perfidious aggressions at Caubul—but from the same cause ? if one nation, and that Great Britain, could be brought to feel the importance of making morality and politics synoni 'nous, what would he the influence throughout the world ? Then, indeed, our missionaries would not be thought satirists of their own nation—our statutes and the Bible would he but different parts of the same body of truth.—(Hear, hear.) Our literature would be purged of much of its pollution, of false hoods; and the halls of justice, which are now too often clothed with tales and proofs of might over coming truth, would be redolent of another spirit, and to them the persecuted and the poor would turn with an eagerness similar to that with which the homicide sought the safety bench in the oities of refuge of old. —(Applause.) I have spoken, and spoken freely, of ministers of religion. I have spoken with unfeigned reverence for their office, and have rather thought to exalt it than debase it by the reference I have made to its duties, its obliges gations, and its power. But, if we turn our thoughts from the ministers of religion to those for whose sake they minister, what should we say to the moral sta tistics which have been produced by the late over whelming commercial distresses of our country ? Who can tell the number of persons who were serious and devout five years ago, who have returned to the mire " through the car es f this life?" In how many instances has the amended character and type of the members of Christian churches been deteriorated by the ever recurring question—" What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed ?" How many persons could be found whose religious education this hour has been neu tralised by the depression of trade ? How many thousands of religious minds have b een d r i ven t o emigrate, nosmallportion of whom, it is to be feared, will renounce by the act their native country and their sacred vows ? What number of Sabbath teachers have disappeared from our schools through want of decent clothing? What proportien of the various religious societies have felt the pressure, and though they have exhibited no material subsidence of income, yet to what acts have they been forced, to meet their current liabilities?—(Hear.) What proportion of seat holders have given up their pews from incapacity to pay the petty subscripti on f or th e sa l ar i es o f th e m i n i s t er '? How many thousands have been compelled to pawn or sell their bibles and their psalm-books from the same cause, and having once overcome the anguish of part ing with such hallowed companions, have been made callous by repeated sufferings, to their re-possession. —(Hear.) I might ask a hundred kindred questions, and the only reply of the loaded heart would be-- " Oh, Lord, thou knowest." I boldly say that the cases of deterioration amid ruin from drunkenness and. crime, so lamentably frequent in our country during some years past, lie at the doors of our rulers and legislators.—(l-lear.) On them fall the accumulated maledictions of those beggared wretches with each setting sun and morning light. They know the re medy as well as we. The history of such men is not yet written—l neither envy its contents, nor desire to share its responsibility.—(llear.) It is an affecting thought that the youth who are now twenty, were, when these distresses commenced, only fifteen years of age. The interim is decidedly the most important period in our being—(Hear) —and yet all the youth of the labouring population have passed through it, under the pernicious and withering influence of com mercial and trading distress. What an education The effects, however, will never be worn off.—(Hear, hear.) Many a promising youth was taken from school to bolster the sinking fortunes of hi s family—(llear, hear)—and at length, by the same cause, was driven from the shop too, and now he is walking the fields and lanes around the city, a fugitive without vocation, if not a vagabond_ without principle.—(Cheers.) Some that were in tended for the professions have been compelled_ to avert their thoughts to humbler trades, and c.;,hers, designed for trades, are now beggars, or what *ss worse -soldiers—(Applause)—and some even have com mitted crimes to procure a gaol home. Such as have remained at school, have been reduced to the cheaper classes, and with great difficulty the ilaYments of their education have been irregularly made, and in many instances not at all. A larger number still, who, if trade had continued good, would have received a little education, so as to acquire at least the art of reading, will now never be able to acquire the art of leading through life, they are now too old to con a primer with children; too poor to obtain private instruction„ and when trade returns they must devote every hour to provide for the current events of the day. Ali that they know must be traditional—(Hear, hear)--they can test nothing by self-examination ; and they must take even their religious knowledge on the dictum of others.—(Hear, hear.) The urgency of animal wants predominates, in times like these, over all questions of self-improvement ; the battle is for life. The ri vals increase every hour ; the markets are uncertain ; the next order may be the last for twelve or eighteen months ; and, mighty as the pulsation may beat for knowledge, the youth of our country must turn deaf ears to her syren voice, till a more convenient time, which will probably never arise.— (Lieu.) Here again I pause to point out the connection between the morals of the people and the acts of the Government; and again I say to the friends of morality, you prune the twigs, and leave the trunk untouched, while you seek not to mend the laws. Now, until it can be shown, then, that there is this connection between knowledge and morality, oz until that connection be o itt r hs e ebe ac tm t t i eo k i e i l vn y ecsi a i s ntao t t h in e olne e ns v . il of our destroyed, the connectioneontinues between ignorance e na v i e td r u , rvei t c h pe e ll i ed - a e n f o o dm r e asi , n i a r int ic eu re sc°h Fe r s neg lect, makes ignorance inevitable, must be r ta ec Will kon li ed t among the abetting causes of immorality.—( H e ar, hear) S ir, j b u e s l t i believe one —th at h h obta r ins o pinionat w the present c h now prostration so wide l a y privatetrade, i d la e v t e er o io n r ly ati h o a n d o t f im pu e b t l o ic dra an w d a very faint and. imperfect picture, is caused by pal pable injustice in the Legislature of the land. When. the property of labour is set at nought by the aristo cratic legislator, he teaches the labouring poor, both by precept and example, to despise that of others ; and. thus property at once loses its sanction, and crime its enormity.—(Hear, hear.) The frequmcy of ruined_ tradesmen al so enerva t es th e s h ame of insolvency, and when it is no l onger a re p roac h to compound ‘tk d one's creditors, th e so l ven t but unprincipled tradyi es mon will avail himself of the relaied d e testation o f of debt, and such as have less moral courage to sust the struggle for a panic, give up their chances of b _ y the, self redemption before they had really lost i the game. But we are told that it is irupossib e, wisest system of legislation, to prevent these ,e are sea sons of distress —these visitations of famine. n atural and necessary to the healthy progress of industry as. periods of rest and told they are collapses as sleep to the animal s ystem—(Laughte r)—and some will tell you that, by studious and profound calcula tions, they have penet rated the mystery hidd en f rom vulgar eyes, and can prove by figures that th e most precious portion of a community like ours, should partially submit to famine as a punishment for being too too enterpris ing.—(Laughterindtriit is not the u sous, anda and a oa ch in ee g rs.) iouens ih a ant d Corn-laws or other restrictions upon trade that have en tailed and worked these evils, b u t t h e gen i us o f Watt, and Bolton, and Arkw r i g l t, men who have give n employme nt t o that they might the bodies of millions abroad. clothe millions at home, —(Laughter.)

They will tell you that ' the Creator had invested mind wit h p owers destructive ' of itself—(Cheers and. laughter)—that the more the intellect expands, and the nearer it approaches to per- I fection, the condition of the bulk of nations must of ' necessity become worse.—(Great laughter.) This is the pith and marrow of the famous argument of " over production. '—(Cheers.)
