RICHARD GARDNER, Esq., followed. He extolled the working classes, whO m he consi dered a much wiser people than those who assumed to-themselves all the wisdom and talent They had first-found out where the evil lay, namely, in defec tive and corrupt representation ; their breeches pocket was the first.fridaitor, and then came the belly, which was worse than all. He did not so much blame the aristocracy for holding the poWer, as the middle and humbler classes for allowing them to hold. it so long—for elevating them into a sort of gods, although they were men with like passions and frailties to those of ourselves. • No real or permanent good for the country could he obtained till the Charter was established. THOMAS POTTER, Esq., (son of Mr. Thomas Potter), con- Amide& for the Charter, for Universal Suffrage, as the only means to obtain good government. A million and a half had been spent by the Tories at the last election , all which money had been wrung from the pockets of the people that an oligarchy might be maintained. He congratulated the meeting on the power they possessed. Mr. MURRAY (the able Anti-Corn-law lecturer) addressed the meeting, when there were loud shouts - of " Leach, Leach." - Mr. LEACH (the well-known Chartist) was received with deafening cheers. He congratulated heartily the-meeting on the rapid strides freedom was making. Thanks to Sir R. Peel, the principles of liberty were quick advancing. The English working man at one time possessed a chest of drawers, a clock, a bed, and other decent fu, 'cure, but now he ha& but a pallet of straw. The contlita of !be country was fright- ful ; workmen were driven from their_statedfimployesent, and hundreds upon hundreds of Cottages were now empty in all parts of the town. TI-it aristeaeratic portion of the coun try had so ground down the People, that they were almost reduced to helplessness. He rejoiced on the prospect of union with the middle classes. He would willingly forget all past differences, and unite heart and hand with the gentlemen around him, as he had no reason to suspect their faith and honesty. The deliverance of their country from the jaws of monopoly in every shape, was what they all then aimed at. He wished to see perfect union prevail. He was glad to hear the Charter so highly extolled; it was the only means of restoring liberty and Justice to the people. He was su re th at the meeting would delight in the proceedings of the evening ; and he requested that all who agreed with him and the frtends about him, in the principles which had been submitted to their consideration—as the means of political salvation to the country —would signify the same by holding up their hand s . —( H ere the meeting responded to the c a ll by holding up their hands, and following the act by loud and enthusiastic cheers.) Thanks were voted to the Chairman, when the meeting sepa rated in a few minutes, in the same order as they came together. MISS BURNEY'S DIARY.

They have not confidence in their own principles, and their fears master their convictions. They, mistrust nature, and wonderfully overrate the good effects of laws. All their arguments, particularly the elaborate statements of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord PAL3IERSTON, and Mr. MAcAuLAY, go the whole length of declaring that trade is not a proper subject for legis lation. How can it be ? Legislation is confined to one 21Lialitieixiit is wholly municipal. Trade is inter national, and extends far beyond the reach and bound, of law. But while the leading Whigs take this sound and wise view of trade, they will vote against their own convictions. They will not support Mr. VIL LIERS, they throw cold water on his motion, and they thereby inure their own character for consistency and sagacity. We believe, too, that they will injure them selves as a party. The question mooted by, Mr. VIL LIERS is the popular question of the day. It concerns the prosperity of property and the welfare of industry. ft emphatically Concerns the millions. In our judg ment, therefore, it would have been expedient, wise, and just in the Whigs, had they cordially supported the motion for the total and immediate abolition of the Corn-laws.

Last night a meeting of the inhabitants of the Western half of the Hundred of Brixton was held at the Spread Eagle Tavern, Wandsworth, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and for an extension of the suffrage. The meeting- was very nume rously attended. Prout, Esq., was called to the chair. The CHAIR-max said the subject on which they had met was of a two-fold character, namely, the bread tax and th e franchise.—( Hear, hear.) The period had arrived when the working man could now understand both questions.— (Hear, hear.) With respect to the bread tax, it was clearly shown that for every shilling expended by the working man for bread, fourpence or fivepence went back to the Government in the shape of taxation.—(Hear.) The great object of the meet ing then was to see what steps should be taken to get rid of the bread tax.—(Hear.) It was calculated that during 1835, 16,00j,000 quavers of corn had been consumed in this coun try, and the result was, that there was a difference in the price of bread of 25,000,0001. Of this sum the working man paid a moiety, and the fact was, that the working classes paid 12,000,0001. of this difference.—( Hear, hear.) It was said that the amount of wages depended on the price of food ; this, however, was a fallacy; and if they wanted any proof on this point, let them look to the United States, where wages were extremely high, and where the price of food was extremely low. The truth was, the amount of wages depended on the amount of work to be done, and the number of labourers that were ready to perform that work.— ( Hear, hear.) Anything that was calculated to interfere with the employment of capital was prejudicial to the interests of the community, and the effect of the Corn-laws was to in terfere with the profitable employment of capital. The result was that the wages of the labourer were abridged, and his comforts destroyed.—( Hear, hear.) The Chairman then ad verted to the price of bread in Paris and in London, and showed that while tenpence was paid for a quartern loaf in London it could be had for sixpence in Paris.—( Hear, hear.) Why should not the working man be able to get his loaf as cheap here as at Paris?—( Hear, hear.) In connection with this question there was also that of the extension of the Suf frage. This was an important consideration when they found that there was a majority of 123 landowners, who said that the people of this country 'should be unnecessarily taxed to support their luxury.--( Hear, hear.) The taxation of this country—that is, the taxes that pressed on the industrious classes—was immense, and the people ought to call for a diminution of the Excise and Customs duties to the extent of 20,000,000/.—( Hear, hear.) He would also suggest that a heavier land-tax ought to be imposed, for then property that ought justly to contribute to the wants of the State would be' made to bear its fair .proportion in respect to those wants.— ( Hear.) He now came to the question of the suffrage, and here he mint say that they never could expect to have justice done to them rtil they bad a further reform of the House of 'Commons.-4Loriti - cheers. ) They ought not to look at this or that particular course of reformation—they ought to go at once to the root of the evil, and apply for Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot.—( Cheers.) Let them not quarrel about their obtaining all the points adverted to in the Charter; let them get what good they could. He was in heart and feeling a Chartist; but he could not expect to obtain everything that the Charter demanded for 30 or 40 years.—( Hear.) Still they might by firm and energetic action obtain many reforms ; and if they succeeded in obtaining some of the Positions called for by the Charter, they would do much g00d..--( Hear. )• He called upon them to act with energy and decision, but above all things to be united. If they were so, they might depend upon it they must succeed.—(Applause.) Dr. LONGSTAFF then came forward to move the first re solution, and in doing so observed, that about twelve months since they met in - that room on this very question, and he did not then think that they would again have to denounce the sliding scale, for lie thought that that principle would have been de stroyed for ever.—(Hear.) It seemed, however, that he was mistaken, for Dr. Peel, who refused to say what he would do until he had received his fee—( A laugh)—had, since his re turn to power, prescribed for his patients the very same dose that they had been swallowing for years.--( Hear, and a laugh. ) It was true that the colour of the mixture had been changed from red to brown—( A laugh)—but its essential attributes were the same. What the people wanted was good bread pills—(A laugh)—and he trusted that they would not cease importuning the Doctor until they got what they wanted to improve their health, and strength, and their constitution.—( Hear.) The question was not now whether they should have a fixed duty or a sliding scaie, but whether they should have un'.axed bread ?—( Hear.) The simple question was this—were the bulk of the people to be taxed for the mere sake of keeping the land owners in their present station and power?—(Hear, hear.) He concurred that the fair way of settlaig this question was by taxing property, for that was the only legitimate source from which taxation could be derived.—( Hear.) Why should the man who only held five acres of land be taxed equal to the holder of one hundred acres ?—( Hear.) But the r eason why property was not fairly taxed was, because their legislators were the owners of the land; and this brought him to the consi deration of the question of the franchise, without an extension of which, so as to include Universal Suffrage, it would be impos sible that the wants and wishes of the people could be fairly re presented in the Commons' House of Parliament. The speaker then proposed the first resolution, which was to the effect, that the measure lately proposed to Parliament in reference to an alteration of the Corn. laws, was not calculated to alleviate the sufferings of the working classes, &c. Mr. Rota seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. AITKEN then proceeded to propose the second resolution, and said that the village of Wandsworth was a proof of the in jurious tendency of the Corn-laws. In 1822 that village was in a flourishing state from its manufactures, but now it had scarcely any. In 1822 there were 13,000 persons employed in the manufacture of printed calicoes in Wandsworth, and 3,000/. a-week were paid to them. What was the state of the case now ? Why the establishments were all closed, and the work men were all gone.—( Hear, hear.) He contended that these distressing results arose from the tax upon food. He was a strenuous advocate for an extension of ,the suffrage. He begged to conclude by proposing the following resolution : " That while th is meet i ng i s of opinion that no measure short of the entire abolition of the Corn and Pi ovision-laws can ef fectually relieve the country from its present difficulties, yet considers it useless to petition the House of Commons on the subject, as it has no hope of obtaining justice from Parliament as it is at present constituted ; and in conformity with these views this meeting pledges itself to commence the most active and energetic constitutional agitation to effect the total and immediate repeal of all taxes on food, and for the complete and thorough reformation of the Commons' House of Parliament." The resolution was agreed M. It was subsequently resolved, that the resolutions should be published in the Morning Advertiser, the Morning Chronicle, the Times, and The Sun newspapers. The meeting, which was most unanimous throughout, then separated By J. FENIMORE COOPER, Esq. Richard Bentley, New Burlington -street MEETING AT WEST BROMWICH. WEST BROMWICH ; TUESDAY MORNING.--A most nume rous meeting was held here last night in the Methodist Chapel, Hill-top, for the purpose of taking measures to secure the re peal of the Corn-laws and the removal of Peel and his col leagues. James Bottley, Esq., was called to the chair. It is impossible to describe the feeling displayed at the meeting; suffice it to say it was such as clearly indicated a state of mind which must very soon lead to the most important changes. Eveiy one of the speakers called aloud for an extensioti of the suffrage, and it eas clearly and plainly asserted that the mo ment the Queen refused to dismiss her present Ministers, an immediate and general cessation from tax-paying would ensue. The conduct of the ladies of Manchester was loudly cheered, and a determination expressed to follow their advice. More solemn promises were never made by men than were entered into last night by the speakers, to continue agitation until the object was carried.

WOLVERHAMPTON, TUESDAY.—A most important meeting was held here yesterday, first at the Public Office, and then by adjournment at St. James's-square. The arrival of the majority of 123 in favour of Peel's sliding scale decided the people at once as to their future course, and the result has been, that from this town, •the centre of a most important district, one universal shout for an extension of the Suffrage has gone forth, followed by a declaration of want of confi dence in Peel and his colleagues. On Saturday the walls of the town were covered by violent; placards, and a large body of Chartists came in from Bilston and other places, in expecta tion of a reconciliation with their employers, and in this they were not disappointed. They were met by the most respect. able men in the town in a spirit of conciliation, and the result was, that both parties shook hands, and vowed the removal from power of the man whom all shades of Refo:mers denounce as utterly unworthy to fill the office of Prime Minister. At eleven o clock, the appointed hour, the Public Office was crowded, arid the greatest intlrest seemed to be felt by all pre • sent. A few minutes before the time a working man called out for the chair to be taken by a working man, upon which JOSEPH WALKER, Esq. then moved Mr. Jeremiah Wynn to the chair; the Rev. W. STOKES seconded the motion; which was put and carried unanimously. The building now became so intolerable from the pressure, that the immense concourse moved to St. James's-square, where a temporary hustings was prepared, and around which several thousands Molt their stand, amidst torrents of rain, with as much composure as if it was a midsummer day. . The CHAIRMAN read the vequisiiion calling the meeting, signed by upwards of 3061ene..sinen of the town. He declared most positively' e had never known thrripple in Bach an awful condition. He had visited one district with the clergyman and others, in order to find out the most deserving objects of charity, and he never beheld such scenes as he had witnessed. They met one lad who had,been without food for two days; another person had only had a few potatoes to keep body and soul toge then • and they found another b o y w h o was ac t ua ll y p i c ki ng up the offal in the street to support nature.—(Shame, shame!) The first day they relieved 300, the second day 600 most wretched objects. They found in that one district 700 indi viduals who begged as if they were begging for their life, to be permitted.t o receive the small allowance of bread and potatoes which their charitable friends enabled them to give. The time had now arrived for the people to look to themselves. JOSEPH WALKER, Esq., then moved the following resolu tion :—" That the distress under which the people of this town and district are now, and have been for so long suffering, are caused by those laws which restrict the importation of food-- that the Ministerial proposal for the amendment - of these laws adds insult to injury by its mockery of relief—that the certainty of such amendment being carried by the majority of the Mem bers of the present House of Commons, is proof of the neces sity of putting au end to th ese and other evils of class legisla tion, by such extension of the franchise as shall secure to all ranks of the people that full and free representation as defined in the ' People's Charter,' to which, on the principles of the Constitution, they are entitled." The reading of the resolution was received with the .most tremendous cheering, after which Mr. WALKER addressed the meeting at great length and ability upon the well-known injurious effects of the Corn-laws, and the gross insult offered to the country by the sliding jug glery of the Tamworth doctor. Mr. Mocics seconded the resolution, and expressed his firm conviction that they would now roll up such a moral force in the country as would remove Peel in a few weeks. They would allow him six weeks to snake up his account and be off.— (Cheers.) They had beeen told that it was the naughty Chartists who had put Peel into power. Very well—be it so; and then what followed ? Why, that the naughty Chartists, with the aid of the middle classes, would hurl him out again.— (Cheers.) The Chartists did net like Peel, and from that day raised the standard of the s u ff rage, and around it they would rally th s u e tc y h w a o c u o ld m p b r i o n v a e tia it n . — as ( Renewed cheers.) They had no w would drive Peel and his colleagues from power ; upon that they were decided.---( Hear. ) The resolution was put and carried, with great cheering.

It was in vain, therefore, to petition them again. They had closed their hearts against the poor, and they must go to the Queen. He moved the udoption of a petition to the Queen, with the addi tion of a paragraph in favour of the Suffrage. Mr. KETTELL seconded the adoption of the petition. After which another petition to her Majesty, to dismiss her present Ministers and grant an extension of the Suffrage, was agreed to amidst the most tremendous cheering. After which the meet ing broke up. 9. That in the event of any of the said instalments on any such New Shares, or on the Scrip or Scrip Receipts to be issued in re spect thereof, not being punctually paid on or before the re spective days or times fixed as aforesaid for the payment, it shall be lawful for the Board of Directors of the said Cam panyto resolve and declare that New Shares _under the Com .. " That at future divisions of the House, neither the strangers in the gallery, Or the reporters, shall be re quired to withdraw, except by special motion for that purpose." .The present practice of excluding all strangers from the House, including reporters, dates from the time when the House sought to enshroud all its pro ceedings in secresy, by making it a breach of privilege to communicate them to the public. In former times pa triotic Members were exposed to the persecution of the So , VEREIGN, and there was then a reason for keeping secret the share which each individual took in the proceedings of the House. Those times have long passed away. The SOVEREIGN has lost her power, as against the House of Commons, and no Member now runs the smallest risk of being persecuted for an exuberant zeal in the cause of the people. The public are now admitted to witness the proceedings of the House, save and except divi sions; and the success of Mr. WARD'S motion, to publish the names and votes of Members by the authority of the House, has removed every shadow of a pretext for not allowing the public to see the divisions, when they can learn from the papers on which side each Member votes. We are not aware that there can be any feasible objec tion to Mr. MuNrz's motion. It will remove the last remnant of the old secresy, and bring all the proceedings of the House into harmony. The motion ought, them fore, to meet with no opposition and no dissentients. pang's Seal shall not be issued in respect of the Scrip or sums of 8/. 6s. Bd. as to which such default shall have arisen ; and in case of such declaration by the Board of Directors, the holder of the Scrip on which such default shall have arisen, shall ab solutely forfeit his right to receive a share of 251. in respect, thereof, and the money paid on, or in respect of each new Share or Scrip aforesaid, upon which such default shall have taken place, shall and may, from and after such default, be re tained and held by this Company as a deposit, and shall be payable to the parties entitled thereto, in exchange for the Scrip or Scrip Receipts upon which such default shall have taken place... , 10. That none of the new Shares issued under, or by virtue of the foregoing resolutions, nor the Scrip in respect of the nine, shall be deliverable to any of the Proprietors of ox iginal Shares, who shall be in arrears for calls on such original Shares, until such arrears of Calls, and all interest due thereon, shall have been fully paid up to the Company.

We referred very briefly yesterday to the immu nity of our law-givers, which makes them, in our opinion, very regardless, considering the importance of their functions, both of what they undertake, and how they perform it. There is surely no office in society—no duty to be done by man—of such pre-eminent, and even solemn greatness, as making laws for an immense com munity, such as is now gathered under the British flag. Accordingly our ancestors, very properly in our estima tion, laid down the rule, that the preceedings in both Houses were to be begun by prayer. Like other ordered observances, however, that has now lost all its sacredness and its sanctity, and has dwindled, like most of the practices of the established priesthood, into a mere empty fOrm—the veriest mockery pos"Sible of the great functions of which it ought to be the appro priate commencement. Always to retain its efficiency, it should be especially adapted to the business of every evening ; every Member should be required to be pre sent at it; and the officiating person should be rather a statesman than a priest belonging to any of the narrow and exclusive sects into which Christians are unhappily split. The present empty form, generally attended by Mr. SPEAKER and the Clerks, is suitable enough, we adMit, to the multiplicity of business which is hurried through without any solemnity, or any due re gard to its importance.

It was held in the Temperance-hall, and there coul i not be less than three thousand people crammed within its walls, while suc cessive crowds were obliged to retire, unable to obtain admission. During the evening a slight attempt was made to produce discord, but it only served to bring out in relief, the overwhelming pre. ponderanee of good sense and good feeling by which it was im mediately crushed. The parties had come together, making the mutual confession that the one could do nothing without the other, and determined, if possible, to agree on a common ground of action. Au excellent beginning thus has been made. At seven o'clock, the Mayor, T. Cullen, Esq., appeared in the hall, attended by J. Winder, Esq., town-clerk. On as cending the platform, he w a s received with loud cheers ; he was immediately followed by the Rev. W. J ones , I n d epen d ent h th ma gistrate, olton Anti-Co rn -l aw Association, e B E.

Crook, Esq., president, &c , The Mayor was called to the c h air , and some exce ll ent speeches made, but the great press of matter p revents us from inserting them. The resolutions agreed to, denounced the Corn-Law scheme of Sir Robert Peel and the Tory Govern ment, and pledged the meeting to use every endeavour to ob tain Vote by Ballot, and Extension of the Suffrage. House, the idle, and sometimes party discussions, on both private and public Bills, to mark the continued repeti. Lion of, " The question is," "The ayes have it;" to hear important forms set down by our best constitutional writers as the safeguards of liberty, mumbled over by the officers of the House ; it is impossible to be present in either House during a long debate, and notice the listless ness of the Members, their much conversation, the party and personal objects they have in view, without feeling convinced that a great reform is necessary in the mode of conducting the business of Parliament, as,well as in the mode of constituting that Assembly. Above all, we desire that the Members of both Houses should be im pressed with a much more serious sense of their " awful" responsibility, if we may use Sir R. PEEL'S well known word, than they now are, Whatever may be a man's politics, and whatever enactments he may think advis able, he must wish that they should be constructed with the utmost care, and all the business of making laws should be carried on with the deepest sense of its im portance. GREAT OUT-DOOR MEETING IN MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—One of the•largest out-door as semblages held in Manchester within the last ten years, took place yesterday evening, in Stevenson's-square. It was the adjourned meeting from that held in the same place on Tuesday last, and was connected with the ;Town-hall meeting in the morning of the same day. The time fixed for commencing the proceedings was six o'clock, and it was at one time con templated to illuminate the meeting by torches ; but that plan was rendered unnecessary by the great orb of night shining brilliantly on the assemblage. The square, which is of groat extent, was crowded ere the opening of the meeting, and in an hour afterwards not fewer than seven thousand men were prevent, all decent and orderly in their behaviour, and appear ing deeply impressed with the moral power that they were called upon to exercise. Joni; Baooxa, Esq. (late Boroughreeve of Manchester), was called to the chair, who pointed out the evils which Tory policy would inflict on the country. Counsellor MOORE exhorted the people to exert the moral power they possessed in effectuating their own political salvation. Mr. PRENTICE (of the Manchester Times) followed, and recommended the people to work in unity for extension of the Suffrage, and the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. G. TnomrsoN next spoke for nearly an hour, and was listened to with deep attention. He adverted to the majority which Sir Robeit Peel had obtained, and remarked that his triumph would be short-lived. The people, the middle and the lower classes, were now becoming united, and when that union was effected, the power of Toryism and aristocracy would ter minate. For himself, he advocated the People's Charter, which was a righteous instrument, and would, did lie possess the power, call that moment into political existence every man whom he saw before him. He had never used his vote yet, because he had never yet seen the man on whom he could rely. He wished it to go forth, that henceforward the power and influence of the Whigs were gone. They had truckled t o th e i r enem i es when in power, and now thepeople had justly d eser t e d t h em. Neither Commons, n 11 n - hall, nor in th e H ouse o f v, l .o a u n i eliter dt c h s at the T(m s h have • power. As a p o liti ca l par ty they were extinct. He 'called upon the p eople to be united and p( a T abla, and then the time of their delivera nce was at hand. i He exhorted them to be just, to far not, and to look only to truth. At present, because our law-makers are never called to account, because they enjoy complete immunity, because they have no reckoning to give to man—and we fear few of them think of reckoning with GoD—for their Parliamentary conduct, they treat the great work they are engaged in with the utmost indifference, and pass a law which dooms perhaps thousands of the people to misery and privation, with no greater emotion than they experience when at breakfast they throw the grouts out of their tea-cup into a slop-basin. Young Members and old Members share this indifference, and a youth hot from College and a veteran in Parliament, alike desti tute of all sense of the importance of their task, are equally ready to heap restrictive and penal laws on the community. We need not dwell on the consequences of this want of a feeling of responsibility in our law-makers. They are e v o q l u o a u l s l y v palpable and a statutend contradictory enactments,en c u n ered with f adifi ri a community almost riven asunder by distress and discon tent, for which the law-makers carelessly say that they know of noremedy. Men and things now alike cry aloud against the useless and cruel conduct of the Members of both Houses of Parliament. And one great step towards ef fecting improvement, must be to inspire them if possible with a feeling of the awful responsibility of the immense task they have undertaken. We received last night Hamburgh Papers up to the 18th instant, but they do not contain any news of im portance. The King of PRUSSIA left Hanover on the 15th for Berlin.

Again the debate on Mr. VILLIERS' motion was ad journed last night a few minutes before twelve o'clock, Mr. EWART being in possession of the House. There was a considerable number of speakers, but they were nearly all of a minor character. Mr. MILNER GIBSON, the representative of Manchester, made, perhaps, the best speech of the night, on the free trade side ; the palm of merit was divided on the side of the monopolists by Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Mr. WODEHOUSE, Mr. BENETT, of Wiltshire, and Mr. BINGHAM EscoTT. Lord DuNcaN made a short and smart speech, and plainly told the proud aristocracy of England that it was un worthy of them to scramble with the people for their food. Mr. P. M. STEWART also made a very useful speech ; but on the whole the debate had not much novelty or interest. We cannot, however, regret that it is continued. The discussion will make the merits of the question better known. As yet, though the landlords have been chal lenged to substantiate their assertion that they bear par ticular burdens, they have not done so, and have merely repeated their assertions. On this point their word carries no weight with it ; they are legislating on their own behalf, and no person gives them the credit of being either disinterested or patriotic. Of the national debt, which Mr. MILNEs the night be fore hinted the landlords would extinguish if their corn monopoly were destroyed, they pay no more than any other class. The interest is paid out of the taxes, which are collected chiefly by the Customs and Excise. The whole amount of the local burdens of England and Wales, of which only a small share falls on them, does not exceed 5,000,0001. per annum. If they paid every farthing of poor-rates and highway -rates, that would not justify their monop o ly. T he truth is, that the burdens which press on the landowners are private, not public. Their estates are nearly all encumbered with mortgages, dowers, annuities, and other debts, which t t s , 4 . ,1111.• Q.: 77 ,, • ,!)

MEMNON. —Yesterday merising, at a iiarte past nine o'clock A. Si., this splendid vessel of 1,100 tons burden, mounting two 64 -pounders, and four 32-pounder guns, and having them and all her shot on board, with about 300 tons of coals and a heavy cargo, sufficient to test her capabilities for a long voyage, was loosed from her moorings at Blackwall, and pro ceeded down the river in excellent style, for the purpose of as certaining the efficiency of her engines and sailing qualities. The Memnon was built by Mr. Fletcher in a superior manner, and the engines, of 400-horse power, were constructed by Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Field, on their patent principle, with copper boilers and change-water apparatus, which keeps the salt water below a certain point, and by that means pre vents any deposit taking place; so that a vessel might pro ceed on a voyage to India without incrustation to the extent of the thickness of a sixpenny piece. The cy linders are double, on the expansion principle, and the consumption of fuel can be admirably regulated to suit any circumstance of slow or quick sailing, and disconnecting gear to work one wheel without the other, if found necessary. On arriving at Long Reach, the full power of the steam was applied, and the endues worked with a beautiful motion, the vibration being scarcely perceptible. The large wheals, 26 feet in diameter, entered the water with such effect as to propel the vessel, with her heavy cargo, at the rate of 111 miles per hour, affording the greatest satisfaction to her commander, Captain Powell, and all the gentlemen present, among whom were Captain Pepper, of the Akbar, another vessel of the same dimensions, belonging to the East India Company; Captain Braco, attached to the• Neapolitan Government; Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Maudslay, sen.„ Mr. Maudslay, jun., Mr. Field, and several scientific persons. The Memnon proceeded as far as Sheerness before returning, and the manner and simplicity with which the disconnecting, gear removed the stupendous paddle-wheel and again attached it in an almost incredibly short space of time, surprised the naval officers, who had never witnessed an l thing of the kind before. On the return of the vessel the company sat down to a cold collation ; and Captain Powell, after proposing the health of the Queen, gave " The Directors of the East India Company," and extolled them as being the best and most liberal masters to all who had the honour of serving them. He felt proud of the honour of commanding such a fine vessel as the Memnon had proved herself to be that day, and he was confident she would give every satisfaction, and reflect great. credit on the gentlemen who built her, and the firm that fitted_ her engines. Tlaelord! Commissioners of the Admiralty, with the view of satisfyntg them elves and the service generally of the dad_ eney and comparative strength of the chains and anchor& used. in her Majesty's navy, ordered one of the best and largest anchors, weighing 93ewt. 3qrs. and slbs., suitable for a first— rate ship of war, made at Woolwich Dockyard on Perring'a principle, to be attached to a chain 2i inches in diameter, the usual dimensions, aid have both tested by Bramah's hydraulic machine, constructed for that purpose. Thursday being the day at first named for the proofs be iv made, Rear-Admiral Sir James Gordon, K.C.8., Lieutenant_ Governor of Greenwich Hospital, arrived at the Wouiwrch Dockyard, and a great number of naval officers, celebrated. engineers, and scientific men, from various parts of the country,. attended ; but owing to the non-arrival of some of the Lords of the Admiralty, who were expected to be present, the testily , was postponed until y es t er d ay a f ternoon, when their Lord ships' other duties still preventing them from being presesit, the experiment was made in the presence of Captain Sir Fratseis: A. Collier, Knt., C. B. and K. C. H., Superintendent of the Royal Dockyard ; Captain Alingaye, Captain Rideout, Capt.. Denison, Captain Denitatn, Commander Tresahar, Lieutenant. Lawrence, and a number of officers of the Royal Navy. Amongst the military officers present were Lieutenant -Col.. Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant •Col. Sabine, and Lieutenant -Col. Chalmer, of the Royal Artillery, and Captains Blythe and Herrick of the line. Amongst the engineers were Mr. Howard, Cornhill ; Mr. Bremner, Edinburgh ; Mr. Thompson, Glasgow ; and M r . Seeward, Limebouse. Mr. Olive r Lang, Woolwich ; Mr. John Fincham, Chatham; Mr. J. Atkins. Sheerness; Mr. T. F. Hamkev, Plymouth ; Mr. R. Blake, Portsmouth; and. Mr. Roberts, late of Devonport Dockyard, forming the Com— mittee of Master Shipwrights, appointed by the Lord Com— missioners of the Admiralty to examine suggestions for the im— provement of vessels employed in her Majesty's service, were also present, and a ',umber of private gentlemen, apparently anxious to know the result. On the order being given and the power applied, Mr. Ewart, Chief Engineer of the Woolwich dockyard, ex-mined. the progress of the strain, and found that, with a weight of sixty tons, the point of the fluke had been drawn forward a space of two inches and three quarters from its usual position with the ring end of the shank. At this period of the experi— ment the hydraulic pressure was withdrawn, the anchor having been found incapab!e for the service for which it was intended, as it ought not to have yielded so much with a power of 66i tons, the full weight it would have to resist before it could have been passed as perfect. Capt. Sir F. A. Collier ordered that the power should be again applied, to as— certain the utmost strain the anchor or the chain would boar before breaking ; and when'the full pressure of 66/ tons was put on, the anchor was found to have yieled 4i inches from the point of the fluke to the ring-end of the shank, and the mo— ment the strain was equal to 68 tens, or 14 tons above the proof, the shank broke completely through, and the parts en— tirely separated from each other, at about eighteen inches from the fluke end. The usual test for 1112 chain of an anchor of 96 cwt. is Blf tons, consequently the chain had not the full power upon it, and did not appear to be in the least strained ; but it will, on a future occasion, have the full power applied to it to ascertain its capabilities. It was intenneci to have tested one of Porter's patent anchors of 29 cwt., whirls Mr. Honiball, the patentee, felt confident would bear an equal strain before breaking as the large anchor of 96 cwt.; but the time requisite to remove such a heavy mass of iron as the broken anchor, end the breaking of a small portion of the stretching frame, caused the trial to be postponed unt:l the middle of next week.

COUN AN CURRENCY.—We are importing from 40,000,0001. to 50,000,0001. of goods every year, consisting of silks, cotton, coffee, and the like, and yet we never hear of it drain of gold to pay for these articles, because we export our mauufac— tures in exchange; but when we have to import corn we hear of large draws of gold fro.n the country, the effect of which is to em— barrass our manufacturers. The law for importing corn, diffbring from the law which regulates every other article, produces these convulsions, — The Struggle. The following declaration appeared in the Prussic:at ' State Gazette of the 1I th instant :—" Several journals have lately spoken of the projected fortifications on the right bank of the Vis_. tula, in a manner which shows that they are ignorant of the real history of these matters, for they represent the project as entirely isolated, when, in fact, it is part of a general system. Soon after the peace of Paris, when the Congress of Vienna defined the limits of Prussia, it was resolved to adopt one system of defence for the whole monarchy. As early as 1816 the late King commenced the. preparatory works, and the plan for the defence of the Rhenish' Provinces and Posen being completed, the King has ordered the like works to be done in the Eastern Provinces, as his Majesty an,.. nounced in the late sitting of the Diet of the Provinces of Prussia' DISTRESS IN PAISLEY.—WC are happy to he ab'e to note some improvement in the state of matters in Paisley. Since our last notice about 500 have been taken off the relief fund, and an equal number may be expected in a few days; still the prospects are very gloomy. The whole of the funds do not. ' amount to more than 5001., a sum which will not cover the ex penditure of more than two or three days. At present, therefore:, it is a grave and important question how the thousands, wholly dependent on the Relief Committee, are to be fed, and the peace of the community preserved ? The number of unemployed in Pije. ley is 14,273; including the other part of the upper ward. 1G,934. —Glasgow Argus. On Wednesday and Thursday evening the effigy of Sir Robert Peel was paraded through this town, accompanied by: , what is termed a rough band, comptised of tin kettles, horns, &c.,. after which it was burned at the top of the town, amidst the exe crations of the multitude.—Somerset County Gazette. The Duke of Northumberland has lately purchased, at an enormous price, certain lands close to Berwick-upon— Tweed, which will place, it is said, that borough entirely under his control.

STATISTICS OF SPEED.—The sloth is by no meal's a small animal, and yet it can travel only fifty paces in a day; a. worm crawls only five inches in fifty seconds ; but a ladybird can. fly twenty million times its own length in less than an hour; era elk cats run a mile and a half in seven minutes; an antelope a mile in a minute ; the wild mule of Tartary has a speed even greater than that ; an eagle can fly eighteen leagues in an hour; and a Canary falcon can even Ay 250 leagues in the short spac e of s ix. teen hours. A violent wind travels sixty miles in an hour; sound,. 1,142 Englisn feet in a second.—Bucke. 13Ar.t, FOR THE RELIEF or THE SPITALFIEII/5 WEAvEas.--Last night a grand dress and costume hall, in :id of the distressed Spitalfields weavers, took place in WiEs's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The destitute state of many hundreds of the Spitalfields weavers rendered some effort orr the part of. the general community necessary for prese4 relief, and the success which attended the recent ball in behalf of the Poles suggested the probability that a similar entertainment for the relief of our own perishing countrymen might bo pro-. ductive of a similar result. Under this impression, a number of the more opulent tradesmen at the West-end formed them— selves into a Committee of Management. The Committee comprised the names of Mr. Burn, of Sackville-street ; Mr. Cobbett, of the same place; Mr. Firmin, Strand; Mr. Pores, Piccadilly; Mr. Peat, Piccadilly ; Mr. Pearce, Long-acre ; and upwards of a dozen other g entlemen, equally reTectable , and as warmly actu a t e d i n the prai , eworthy cause. Had th . e• ball been unde r the most aristocratic t.atronage, we doubt_ not. have would have succ ee d e d b etter—certa i nly the ball-room cou ld t _ have presented a mare elegant-looking company.
