BREAD -STREET WARD.—At a COURT of WARDMOTE, holden at Cordwainers' Hall, within the said Ward, on WEDNESDAY, the 21st day of December, 1812, before the Right. Honourable JOHN HUMPHERY, Esq., M.P., Lord Mayor (in consequence of the illness of John Lamson, Esq., Alderman of this Ward), fur the choice of Ward Officers for the year ensuing, It was resolved unanimously— " That it having been represented to theWardmote, that v se a v ,s e in ral t r e rs f o re n e s m u en forneon7hcetierdvout•e L Aldermen itithisWard of this haveb vee\ancrd an: this 7 ardmote reprobate most strongly such proceeding when no vacancy or resignation had occurred, nor is likely to occur, at present; and whenever such period shall arrive (which they sincerely hope may be very far distant) the freemen of this Ward feel thernsaves capable of se!ecting an Alderman, with out the interference of persons unconnected with the Ward, and they declare they will oppose any improper interference as to the chOice they may hereafter make. " That the Especial Thanks of this Vardmote be presented to the Worshipful John Lainson, Esq., Alderman of this Ward, for the zeal, ability, and integrity displayed by him in discharging the arduous duties of a Magistrate of this great City ; for the ready access he has uniformly afforded to the inhabitants, and for his polite attention to them at all times; and this Ward mote, deeply sympathising with him under the severe illness which has prevented hint from presiding at the annual election, this day, earnestly an d an xi ous l y hope for his fpeedy and per manent restoration to health. " That the above resolution be fairly transcribed, signed by the Ward Clerk, and by him transmitted to Mr. Alderman Lainson. THE RICHT OF SEARCH. London 22d Dec.. 1842. Notice is Lereby given, that the TRANSFER BOOKS of this SOCIETY will he CLOSED from the 31st day of De cember inst. to the 31st day of January, 18-13. By order of the Board, The following curious article is taken from the Globe, a Paris paper, patronised by M. Guizot - A French Vessel, the Universe], endeavouring to enter the Channel, was run athwart, during the night of the 6th December, by an English cutter or frigate, sailing west. As there was but a gentle -breeze and the sea calm, the two ships separated without injury, and each continued its route: Who would believe that the Journal du Havre sees in this case one of the consequences of the 'right of search, in - asmuch as it says, that " the English commander con tinued his route, without even asking the Universel, if it was in want of anything, which proceeds from the insolent and brutal habits contracted by the English navy, in visiting our ships on the coast of Africa!" Another of our captains complains, we forget in i n du the Havre pas ition denounced of those vessels which jour na l, o f having'been visited on the coast of Labrador, w h ere h e was i n Engl i sh seas, and per haps latlyas employing h yi t ng he Journal foreigners in their fi s hi ng b oats, or offer i ng at the St. Pierre and Miquelon Custom-house the produce of foreign fishing, in order to obtain the first price exclusively reserved - for the French fishery: What is more natural than the visit of an English cruiser to a French ship found in that latitude ? Yesterday it was the Constitutionnel who was astonished that a French ship at anchor, under the cannon of an English fort, had been visited by the Custom-house `officers 'placed there to that effect ! To-day it is "worse and Worse ;we have the Patrie exclaiming, " China is now going to open her ports to Europe. Immense resources now present themselves for your commerce. Will you not' see that the treaties of 1831 and 1833 do not monopolise these openings to the benefit of :British trade ? Demand, then, but demand with the energy worthy of Fr ance , ;hat - these treaties be abolished ; for (attend to this) so long as these treaties exist; not one of your ships will be able to reach China before undergoing a visit from your English friends:" Really, the rid ht of search will send us into second childhood, and will end by giving us up,.to the laughter of other nations. ll= can one seriously dis cuss so important a question with journals whiCh t rea t of inch absurdities as 'above cited? They make us fancy they are playing a comedy, or have sold them selves to England,.who has charged them- •to,kill the right of search with an instrument known to be very effective in France---ridicule.

First—That this Wardmote, having examined the Resole tiows of the Court of Common council of the Bth inst., Cannot but regret, that while that Court so strongly expresses its ab horrence of bad laws, it should make no effort to reform some of the abuses under its own immediate control, which, in the deliberate opinion of this Wardmote, are inflicting a much deeper wound to the commer ce of the Metropolis, and a wound mere keenly felt by the merchants, than the laws which are so indignantly denounced. Second—That this Wardmote earnestly recommend the Court of Com.vion Council to apply themselves diligently to the revision of all their laws and regulations whi c h affect the commerce of the Port of London, and to make such reforms in them as may be necessary to meet the altered state of the country, so that the enterprising merchant may no longer be driven to take his ship to other ports, and pay the expenses of railway transit for his goods, rather than be subject to the delay and annoyance of the present Corporation regulations. Third—That the expenses of the Corporation, in every de partment, are monstrous—that especially the law expenses of the Corporation require the pruning-knife economy-thatthe mode in which th es e exp enses are incurred is loose and un business-like, and ought to be subject to some other check than that which the Common Council have provided Fourth—That the best thanks of this Wardmote are due, and are hereby given, to Sir Peter Laurie, Knight and Alder man, for his zealous and constant attention to his Magisterial and corporate duties—for his liberal contributions to the charities of this City, and for his uniform courtesy to the in habitants of this Ward. Fifth—That the thanks of this Wardmote are given to Messrs. Lerkin, Godson, Stacy, Norris, Wood, Mottram, Dc Jersey, and James Smith, C ommon C ouncilmen of this Ward, for their duties during the past year. Sixth—That these Resolutions, signed by the Ward Clerk, be inserted in the Times, Chronicle, Morning Advertiser, and Sun Newspapers. T. G. POSTAN, Ward Clerk.

Last evening, at six o'clock, an inquest was held at the Brown Bear public-house, Knightsbridge, before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for Westminster, on view of the body of Mr. Matthias Waldhen, late in spector of pavements of the united parishes of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr. James Knight, chief boatman at the receiving house of the Royal Humane Society, in Hyde-park, stated that about half-past five on Tuesday evening an alarm was given at the receiving-house that a man had thrown himself into the Serpentine river, over the iron railing at the eastern extremity (the spot where the late Lord Rivers fell in by accident, and perished, about ten years ago), and witness directly got out the boat and proceeded to the spot pointed out, where, after dragging for about ten minutes, the body of the deceased was brought up ; life was quite extinct, he having been under water, as is supposed, about twenty minutes ; he was, however, placed in a warm bath, and attended by Dr. Woolley, the So ciety's surgeon, who persevered for upwards of an hour and a half in applying the usual means of pro ducing resuscitation. His purse and money, and other property, were found about his person. The depth of water where the body was found is about eleven feet., A nephew of - the deceased stated that the deceased had been labouring under a nervous depression for the last two years, arising from the death of one of his daughters ; he had also a son abroad, of whom he had not received intelligence lately.—Verdict, " Tempo rary Insanity." MRS. TROLLOPE AND TUE NEW POOR •LA4.—E very one to whom the New Poor-law forms a matter of consideration will be interested to know that Mrs. Trollope, who so successfully directed attention to the Factory System by her work entitled "Michael Arm strong," intends commencing .the New Year with a new production in Shilling Monthly Parts called " Jessie Phillips," of which the existing Poor-law fur nishes the theme. The following is an extract from the prospectus :—" The object the author has had in view in the composition of, this work has been to call the attention of her readers to the absolute necessity of some alteration in the Law which at present regu lates the maintenance .and management of the poor. Her own conviction of its tyranny and injustice, of the impracticability of enforcing its provisions with uni formity, and of the cruel hardships which are inflicted on the poor by the attempt to enforce them, is strong, and she conscientiously believes well-founded. She is also deeply impressed with the general impolicy and evil tendency of that system of administrative centralization, which seems of late to have been creep ing into the practice of our Government. Above all, the author is anxious to declare her detestation of the newly broached doctrine that the poor have no right to .a sufficiency of necessary food to sustain the life which God has given them ; and she hopes. and be lieves that there, are still abundantly enough English hearts to join with her in scouting this doctrine as unchristian." , COURT .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your paper of Monday, there is a letter signed " A Corn grower," and headed, " Protection to Farmers! ! ! " to which I beg leave to call your at tention. The new Royal Exchange st,ands in three parishes, and the Bank in five, St. Michael's and St. Bartholo mew's included. The Bank, in the most handsome ma nner, gives one hundred pounds to the parish offi cers of each of those five parishes ; to be distributed on Christmas-eve among the poor. First, as regards his calculations :—He assumes the average produce to be three bushels of wheat to an acre, and the price to be 6s. Bd. the bushel, producing a sum of 20s. for the average produce of the acre. He then proceeds to demand such a price in bad years as shall always make up to him this average amount of 20s. Nothing is said about the years in which the produce is above the average., The profit which has been in years past, when leases were existing, as I have heard, sufficient in one year to purchase the fee simple of the land, he very quietly puts in, his pocket, and leaves the consumer to pay the loss. Secondly, his reason for demanding to be thus re munerated is, " that (otherwise) he shall not be able to pay the landlord his rent," concluding, I presum*, that, as a matter of course, the frequently half-starved consumer was coolly to submit to be taxed to the tune of 20s. a bushel, according to your correspondent, to enable this said landlord to live in luxury, and sup- 1 port a wasteful, or (which is too often the case) pro fligate expenditure. The alternative of " lowering the rent" is not even hinted at. These corn-growErs, it seems, are but poor reason ers, and place the reasoning powers of the public on a level with their own, or they would not venture on the publication of such letters as these. It is strange, too, that the farmer, who gains nothing by these high prices, should wish for them ; but there is an esprit de corps, a spirit of "caste" or c l ass , w hi c h has a most powerful influence over the weak-minded. Thus the landlord and the fanner both gain their live lihood from the land, ergo, both r esem bl e each other. Item, the landlord is rich and i n fl uent i a l . He calls himself an agriculturist ; the farmer, by being also an agriculturist, is, ergo (shining with a borrowed light), of a rich and influential caste and mighty proud of the connexion. Su c h i s the spirit of " class," that even his interest (which is clearly to have low rents and low prices) is totally forgotten, and, except ac tually on rent-day, can never see that their interests are not in all cases identical. A SUBSCRIBER TO YOUR IMPARTIAL AND TRULY ENLIGIITENED JOURNAL. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night an accident, which was subsequently attended with fatal results, occurred to James Neale, 17 years of age, a post-boy in the employ of the Post-office. It appears that the unfortunate lad was on the road to Bromley, his dis trict, and had proceeded as far as the Walworth-ro a d, when his horse suddenly shied, and plunging v i o l ent l y, threw him on to the road. He did not then appear much injured, but having remounted, continued his journey as far as the Yost-office at Dulwich, when he became so ill that he could go no farther. Mr. Rae, a neighbouring surgeon, was called in, who recom mended his removal to Guy's Hospital, at which in stitution he received every attention from Processor Damper and Mr. Cocks, surgeon, but' their attentions were in vain, as the deceased expired yesterday after noon at four o'clock.

The o, : iireisionana them isery caused -- 1;' , the ob nox"ous t ill of' 1815, and th a t which succee ded it in 1828, now drawing, we may hope, to a close, it may be interesting to our readers to know some particulars of the violent opposition made to it throughout tbe country, when the landlords,. in their ignorance, first proposed a tax OH the great necessary of life. The introduction into Parliament of a Bill t 9 prohibit the importation of corn, except when it had reached a price considered by the great body of consumers ex orbitant, roused the indignation of the working classes. The internal tranqUillity of the country, owing to this circumstance, had been for some time disturbed, though not to a degree affecting the public peace. One by one, however, the country towns, in which the agriculturists were the severest sufferers, grew violent on the "grain-question." Th ese were the heavy heat drops which preceded the thunder shower. N earer an d nearer t h e disturbances ap. proached - the metropolis, till scenes of riot ensued, which were put down, not by policemen or mili tary, but by th e arr i va l o f B onapar t e in France. The night preceding the first riots, hundreds of peti tions had been laid on the table of the House denoting the public feeling. Southwark sent 7,650 signatures ; Salford, 19,000; Nottingham, 7,800; . Manchester, 54,000; L on d on, represented by Sir William Curtis, with the autograph of every merchant, hanker, and trader of note in the metropolis, signed -40,000 ; Leeds, Pontefraa, and a score of other boroughs, and numbering their thousands, in an equal manner evidenced the general feeling. The subsequent events we thus describe : About the usual hour of the meeting of Parliament on the 6th of March, dense groups had begunto as semble in different parts from George-streetfo Abing don-street, all declaiming against the. Corn Bill, and vio lently inveighing against such of-the-Members as had been most active in support of it. Friendly or un friendly to the Bill, the Members were pointed out as they arrived, - with " that is Lord Grenville—that Lord Stanhope—that the Chancellor of the Exchequer." Hooting or applause followed each announcement. Meanwhile loud shouts of "No Corn ..Bill" raised without the House, could be distinctly heard within it. For some time clamour alone was manifested : this, however, soon gave way to acts. Carriages. now b egan to .be stopped, and Members were forced to walk through the hissing and hooting. The constables were found insufficient for the preser vation of order. Many Members were placed in con siderable danger. The Attorney-qeneral and Mr. Croker were assailed like miscreants. Sir ; Robert Heron. had the skirts of his coat torn off, and was "shored about-by the mob likC a shuttlecoek between two battledores." Sir Frederick Flood -was carried above .100 Yards on the shoulders of the ineb,• : ( ilike mackerel . frOm Billingsgate market, and he Ameied they mcaht„ to quarter him.". - :Finally, a military force surrounded the House, by which alone the tu mults were suppressed. Driven from this scene, the populace, now "swelled into thousands, repaked to other park of the town, and early o n the ensu in g morning proceeded to Lord Eldon's in Bedford-square. • The •iron.railings before the door were wrenched up, and used as weapons to force ati entrance. The, glaSs was broken, the furni ture destroyed; the military at . the Museum, 'were sent for,' but, ,the mischief was complete beffire'they or the 'Guards arrived. - - Mr, ,:Robin,sou's house was next attacked in Burlington -street. -This•gentleinan had introdeced the Corn Regulation Bill: The shutters 'Were demolished; the door Split in twain, the valuable "pictures cut in pieces, and trampled in the street- Lord Darnley's ; in Berkeleyssquare-ssMr. Yorke's, in Bruton-street—Mr. Wellesley l'uleS, in Saville •row—were all the object Of littack and da mage. The Earl, of Pembreke'S carriage _Was,hr4en to pieces on his return 'frofn - The Lords. • of Lord.Ellenborough was surroundedhy the moh,.and the assault began. His Lordship presented. himself at the door, and de manded the cause of the outrage on his dwelling. _"No Corn Bill," was the reply..'llis Lordship then addressed them in a few words - . effect was happy; and, Cheering his Lordship, the mob departed. . Sucliwas the result of the first day's riot; the se cond was more disastrous. The parade of Guards and foot-soldiers alone restrained the mob. shets Were fired; and one man pierced through the head. Port man-square, Ilarley-street, Portland-place,-Wimp o . le , street, and Finsbury -square, were successively the ob jects of attacic. On the third day, the work ofAevas tation was again resumed. Lord .Castlercagle s houst was attacked, but the arrival of :the inilitary saved it from complete destruction. The dOors of Mr. Pon sonby's house were battered with bullets. Opposite the house of Sir Joseph Banks the people asseitiMed, crying out, " Bre a d, b re ad," an d d eman d ing ands sion. When Sir Joseph was first, apprised of the quality of his iisithrs, he desired his servants to admit them, but they had already fo: . ce,l ti.emselres ii through the doors and window. In a few minut es th e parlour wa s. d emo li s h e d, and boies of valuable papers scattered in the street. On the ninth the east and west end had almost grown quiet. London was..now environed with troops on all Sides. Lord Castlereagh, of course, in the debates which followed upon these riots, conSidered the proinoters and actors in them only in the light of "ignorant and unfortunate persons." The Chancellor of the Exchequer was still more caustic. "As to the petitions," said this gentl eman , " w hi ch hare 'been presented, no Member of the House felt more disposed to listen to them than he did; but at the same"time he apprehended they were not to consider- the opinions of furred-gowns and gold chains, ns authori tative on a subject like the present.: It would become those Magistrates to open their Egyptian Hall again, to call together their thousands and tens of thousands of petitioners, to tell them that they had upon their information petitioned ParliaMent without ant's- just cause, to-confess that their arithmetic was false, that their arguments were unsound, that their conclusions were erroneous, and that they had better re-consider the subject well before they petitioned again, or—not petition at all." But spite of the " hear, hear," with which a crowded Commons, with its Ministerial benches, fol lowed up these valiant sentiments—spite of the sar casm launched at the civic gownsrnen, and the " ig norant thousands," impatient of taxation—spite of the scorn attempted to be cast by these " sitters in high places" upon the attempts of the peoPle who'were no longer to be oppressed by these corn edicts, the col lective spirit of th e na ti on, h owever it might be re pulsed by class-legislation, has broktin forth anew, and carried with it not only a Tory Government, but the very men who regarded the Corn .law as their only salvation. From all quarters we learn that the land lords look not to protection, but to industry and im provement in agriculture, and admit that the ignorant people in 1815 were better political economists than those who treated them as " hewers of wood and drawers of water." * These expressions were made use of by the Hon. Member in the House, in describing matters afterwards in debate. Lord Stanley's agent, Mr. Bolton, an excellent man, and an Englishman, has just received a most violent threatening notice, and is obliged to have two police men to protect him. He resides at Ballykisteen House, near the town of Tipperary. This is the way in which the agrarian code evinces its discrimination between a good and a bad landlord.— Dublin• MaiL THE QUARTERLY REVIEW AND THE LEAGUE.—It is said that the stupid farrago of abuse which the Quarterly Review has lately issued against the League, was collected by an agent at Manchester, who was employed for that purpose by a certain legal gentle man sent a few months back to that neighbourhood. after the collection of local . slander and abuse had been made, it was licked into shape, cooked,.tuld pre pared by that ex-;Tory functionary, Mr. Cumberland, some years ago described as a talking potatoe. The great value, then, of united labour has been not inac curately described by the Past. When the article first appeared, that journal, caught by its attractive head ing, published a considerable portion of it, proinising its readers that the whole of the invaluable production should appear in its columns. The day before yes terday, however, it informed them that it did not mean to carry its design into - execution, be cause the bulk of the article consisted ef extracts from the journals, many of .which had . b e f ore ap peared in that paper. t ile worthy at Manchester, therefore, and the worthy at London, have only brought together a heap of the idle tales, which were coined for the party journals, which were' probably cried down the moment they were uttered, and which are so bad that the Post is now ashamed' of them. The character of the article in the Quart - 841m thus been fixed by the unwilling censure of the Post. THE GATHERING OF TILE LEAGUII ! ---GREAT AGGREGATE MEETINGS OF TIER LEAGUE, AND BAN'?

In con sequence of the highly important announcement of " Peace with China," we take the earliest opportunity of making known to the Public, that we have commenced selling all descriptions of TEA much cheaper. There is no longer any necessity for the public paying ex travagant prices, in order to secure good Teas. The mono poly of price, like all other monopolies, is found to be based on injustice and selfishness. Every day's - experience tepds to show that the first cost of the finest Teas in China does not warrant the extraordinary prices paid in this 'country. The business of the importer is becoming better understood, and large prof ts, with the intelligent tradesman, like prejudiced feelings with the better informed part of the public, are now generally giving way, and comparison in value made the test of preference.

Copy of a Letter addressed by T revor H o ll an d , Esq., Surgeon, of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, an the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times ;" " Sir,— I think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematous and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasm s in ;he night, which extended from the encl.) to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arm s. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Listen —then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and 1 am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should b e t h e last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held uppn my ease, the Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary enibrocation.—T. 11." This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious n any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ; or from the Proprietor, 11,1 r.

QIAICO'S ESSENCE OF LINSEED is an in -11 Y valuable remedy. Price la. lid. and 2& 91 per Bottle. From time immemorial Linseed has been proverbial for its virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a highly concentrated form, combined With other medicinals and herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious remedy for Coughs which has yet been discovered. Children's Coughs, as recent ones in Adults, will be re moved by a few doses of Simco's Essence of Linseed (frequently by the first) ; old standing Chronic Coughs may require per severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers. Asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, have received the utmost benefit, and others suf fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valuable medicine.
