GALE.—LIVERPOOL, Friday.—lt blew a severe gale froth the east last night and the early part of this morn ing, but as yet we have heard of no accident to the shipping either in or off the port. Several snow showers fell during n the night. The gale moderated about 5 a.m., and has been succeeded by a cutting easterly wind, with frost. Throughout the south of England we believe the fall of snow ways very heavy—interrupting the railway communication for a considerable length of time—the mail from Liverpool due at Euston-square at 4 a.m. net having arrived at 12.35 p.m., and the express train from London at 6.15 a.m., and due here at 12.10 p.m., did not arrive till 3.30 p.m. None of the Irish steamers have up to the present moment (5 p.m.) made their ap pearance ; indeed, it is uncertain whether any of them would leave their ports while the gale lasted.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, at Spithead, dis embarked 185 of her military invalids by means of the Sprightly steam-tender, at Portsmouth dockyard, yes terday afternoon. The poor fellows were wrapped in blankets to shield them in some measure from the cold, being all on deck. Dr. Odell,' the staff-surgeon of Ports mouth garrison, with Assistant-Quartermaster -General Dalgetty, went on board and noted the cases capable of immediate removal, which proved more numerous than was expected. There remain on board the Neptuno 14 severe cases, which cannot be landed at present. All the Neptune's invalids have been under the care of Sur geon Salmon, R.N., of that ship. The able were landed from the Sprightly, on the jetty in the dockyard, under the superintendence of Commander Waddilove and Lieutenant Parks, R.N., and Master-Attendant Under wood, and removed in omnibuses and spring vans to temporary quarters in the Clarence Barracks, whence they.will be forwarded to the invalid depot. The Blenheim, GO, Captain Hall, was taken into the Angle dock at Portsmouth, yeSterda,y afternoon, to com plete her refit. The Hastings, 60, Captain Caffin, went into the steam basin at Portsmouth, yesterday, to, ship her machinery. The screw steam-ship Cornwallis, 60, was taken out of dock at Devonport on' Thursday, and having been masted, was put into the floating basin. She is to be rigged with all possible despatch by the riggers of the yard. - The screw steam-ship Euryalus, 51, Captain George Ramsay, having had defects made good. was taken out of dock yesterday, to have her bowsprit pat on board.

Colonel Simmons, your Grace will perceive, has further been dosired by Omer Pasha to say, that it would be very gratifying to him if hor Majesty should be graciously pleased to reward these officers for the able services they have rendered the Ottoman army and the common cause. I think it right to mention that the Hon. Major Gage, of the Royal Horse Artillery, was the officer who conducted these detachments to Rustchuk from Varna. I appointed him to this duty,. having previously sent him to examine the armament at the former place, and being satisfied that theUmployment of his services on the occasion would be advantageous.

His Highness desires me to inform your lordship thatle has done himself the honour to write to the Turkish Am bisSador at the Court of St.*James's, expressing the desire of his Majesty the Sultan that Private Andrew Anderson, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, may receive and wear the decoration of the 4th class of the order of Mejidie, in commemoration of his galla,ntry in recovering the body of Lioutenant.Burko, after he was killed at the passing of the Danube on the 12th of July last.

The annual meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce was held at the Town-hall, Manchester, on Thursday, when Mr. Br:ght, M.P., Mr. Bazley, the presideirt, Mr. 'Alderman Watkins, Mr. John Slagg, Mr. E. Potter, and soma bf the most influential mem ber: were present. . - The PrzEsmEohr, in Opening:the proceedings, referred, in the twat place, to the conduct of the British Govern meat's; represeotative in China, who had assumed the duty of collecting the customs on British commerce for the Chinese .Government, which, owing to the state of anarchy prevailing there during the last two years, the Chinese authorities had been unable to collect for Om selves. This extraordinary proceeding led to the greatest dissatisfaction, Rad this chamber bad had important nego tiations with the Foreign-office in reference to the injustice of the demands which had been made upon British mer chants. Their intercourse with Lord Clarendon had been most satisfactory; and it was hoped that the re mission of these duties would be obtained, and that here after the labours of the British Consuls would be con fined to the performance of duties they owed to their owit country, without assuming duties connected with the governments of the country where obey were placed. (Hear, hear.) The affairs of India continued to re ceive great attention, the board of directors believing that there was still felt a great lack of the supply of raw Materials from that country, and that it was .still felt that the exports hence to that great de pendency rested essentially upon the quantity of pro. duce they could return us in payment Ur those exports. There was still evidence coming from many parts of India that various products which would be of immense use and benefit to this country were produced in India ; and yet such had been the laxity in the achni nistration of the affairs of India, that hitherto the at tempts which had been made in this country to improve the condition of India had been almost entirely baffled. criee a L rraa,e nod been abunuaece or proof t mne o;VISry superior clasaufgoode.aaieldelsopaodue e d, mid therawarhe Vefitlemen in the room- who were convinced that large quantities could be grown quite equal in quality to the American cotton, which was so largely. consumed in this di•trict ; that silk might be largeiy manufactured ; and that indigo and other dyes might be had in , much larger quantity ; and yet, from want of communication with the interior, and from the unfortunate • apathyof the Go vernment of India, the resources of that country had not been at all developed. The Commercial Association had aeted with this Chamber in reference to the proposal which had been laid before the public of Manchester upon the importance of improving the navigation of the river Godave.ry ; and he referred to.a meeting at which ' Col. Cotton, who had recently returned after a long pe riod of services in India, had been present, and made some very important statements in reference to that subject. It was probable that out of the visit of that gentleman would arise an improvement in the navigation of that river which might at some future time give an ample return for the investments which might be made in it. (Hear.) A subject of great importance connected with the prosperity of Manchester was the movement in respect to the town dues of Liverpool, which wei efeund to be a-most unjust exaction. And he was 'satisfied that a spirit had now been developed which would no longer permit, and through which the merchants and manufac turers of this country would no longer allow, the corpora tion of Lkverpeol to levy such a tax upon the public com merce to the benefit of their own towd. (Applauhe.) Pro bably the last year in trade and commerce had been more disastrops than any one had experienced for a consider able length of time. An old evil had unfortunately revived, forhvb had a scarcity of food; and therefore food had been -extraordinarily dear ; the population had had to live at a greater rate of expenditure for their mere subsistence than for many years previously ; and it had become a plain and palpable lact that the more people spent in bread, the less they had to spend in clothing. About two Years ago he had called attention to the iinjoertance of the earth'beieg cultivated in every possible direction, for the supplynot only of food but of raw materials to employ ,our inghstry upon,. and from that inonier;t to the pre -sent he only saw the increased necessity of less attention being paid to the mechanical .element of this country and more to the agricultural element, ,not only in 'this but id every other country on the face-of the earth.: We could not, he believed, have a sound; state of - everything . until, we had food, the first element of our existence, in greater 'quantity, and therefore. at • a - cheaper rate. (Hear; hear.) In .looking at -the state of • our foreign trade, he found America was ono great cause of the em barraisrnent which had prevailed in - this country among the commercial classes. The people of. America were no doubt embarrassed by the state of their commercial arrangements, but they seemed to overlook the fact that they were paying for their manufactures, by their pro tective system, a larger amount than had been involved even by their unfortunate hystem of banking. He (Mr. Bazley) computed that thirty millions sterling per an num were absorbed by the unfortunate protective sys teth existing there • and hotrusled that the people of that country woul=fyet see it, and that we should have apidraetkeo etdsrties e exports from this country to France were really very trifling, and they were 4n the same position there as in America. He believed that in France they were paying upwards of fifty millions ster ling per annum through the, system of protection. France would be the richest country perhaps on the earth but for this system. He looked to the example of England prevailing, and he had no doubt that that ex ample was even now producing the most beneficial re sults. He was called upon some time ago by the emi nent publishers in Edinburgh, the Meisrs. Black, to revise an article in the " Encyclopedia Britannica" upon cotton and cotton manufacturers. He wrote a new article upon cotton, and considerably enlarged the arti cle upon manufactures ; and in the course of the investi gations he was led into by this task he was enabled to prepare a table which he conceived to be of some impor tance. Theßoard of Trade had kindly given him the facts he required from that department ; and therefore, in the collection he made, he depended entirely upon govern mental authority. The Board of Trade, in doing so, usually gave the gross sum sent out of the United Kingdom ; but he had ascertained to what country every parcel of cotton manufactures was sent, and the result he found to be, comparing the population of each country with the amount seat, that our exports were,-e -to the British dominions in the East Indies, where we had 150 millions of people, the value of our exports in 1853 was 5,680,0001., or 9d. per head for every person in India. If we referred to Russia, with 67 millions of people, our exports amounted only to 180,0001., or six tenths of a penny per bead ; but to Russia within the coast of the Black Sea, with a population of three mil lions, the exports were 13,0001., which gave lid. per head. To France, with 36 millions of population, he found we exported goods to the value of 155,7101., or per head per annum. To British North America we exported 749,000/. worth of cotton manufactures, or to the amount of Os. lid. per head ; and to the United States, with a population of 27 millions, we exported 4,182,109/. worth, or at the rate of 3s. ld. per head. By the assistance of his friend, Mr. John Leisler, a foreign merchant, he had been able to approximate as nearly as possible, perhaps, to the value of the cotton manufactures consumed in Great Britain and Ireland, and he found that whilst our exports amounted to 32,712,000 k, we had retained at home no less than 21,224,0001. worth of cotton manufactures ; showing that the people of Great Britain consume of our staple manufacture of cotton at the rate of 15s. sd. -per annum; and the result was that to the 850 millions inhabitants in the world Great Britain supplied nearly 54 million sterling worth of cotton manufactures, being about an _average to each person of ls. nd. per head. Now, ac cording to this table the cotton industry of Great Britain and Ireland was 54 million sterling in 1853, and this might be considered half the cotton industry.of the whole world. But foreign countries, besides taking "half the raw cotton sent to the market, received large quantities of cotton yarn from this country, and in Asia and Africa cotton was still largely spun by band ; hence the world's cotton industry might therefore he reckoned at 120,000,0001., which would be to every man, woman, and child on the face of the earth equal to about 2s. 94d., or 14 yards each per annum of excellent calico. (Hear.) Reverting to the " Encyclopaedia Britannica," the Pre sident observed that an excellent article on agriculture had been contributed, and he called the attention of gentlemen engaged in manufactures and commerce to it, as well worthy of their attention, as well as of agricul turists themselves. Mr. BooTHMAN read the annual report, containing a review of the business of the year, which has been already published in substance, from time to time, in the newspapers. On the motion of Mr. Alderman WATKINS, seconded ley the Mayor of ASHTON, the report was agreed to, and the officers of the chamber were then elected and other routine business disposed of. A vote of thanks to the retiring directors having been proposed and seconded. Mr. BRIGIIT, M.P., after expressing his cordial con currence in the resolution, said—The position in which we find onrselves to-day is one rather less satisfactory as regards the interests to which this chamber has regard than any we have occupied for some years past. I should like to make one remark en a point to which some re ference is made in the report, and that is as to the meet ing lately held for the purpose of receiving Col. Cotton, and hearing his explanations with regard to the naviga tion of the Godavery. I have observed, since that took place, in a Madras newspaper, that the commission which was appointed there to inquire into the condition of the ' public works in that presidency has reported ; and in speaking of the Godavery rive r they state, that if that river should cost the Government 1,0001. a mile to make it navigable during its course and the course of its tri butaries for 500 or 000 miles, it would be a very cheap undertaking, if we take into consideration the enormous results to the population who live upon its banks, and the district through which it flows ; not that such ex pense would be at all necessary, because there can be no doubt whatever that that commission, so far as the obstacles in the river are concerned, were less acquainted than Colonel Cotton and his brother, Major Cotton, who is now out there, and other gentlemen with whom he is connected were ; and I would, therefore, much rather take the authority of those gentlemen, engi neers on the spot, and who know more than any other I would the opinion Englishman en the subject, than I PRICE SD. of the commissioners with regard to the actual sum that would require to be expended. And of course we know that, in preparing a river for navigation, you may spend just as much as you like ; that is, you may straighten it where it is crooked, and give it such a depth of water, or a less depth ; and you may clear the channel more or less, and you may spend the wealth of a nation on a river of 600 or 800 miles, if you choose to do it on a certain plan. And I am inclined to think, from all the information I can get, that the sum which Colonel Cotton explained to us here would be one that would at any rate open that river sufficiently to give a constant and most productive navigation—l mean not only to that country and to this as regards the material which would be transported along its course, but also to the people, who would be willing to make some investment in the undertaking. (Hear, hear.) We are met, I be lieve, to discuss matters of trade ; and I was very much struck with a statement our chairman read from the table which be has drawn up. He says that the whole cotton industry of this country may be estimated at fifty-four millions of pounds sterling per annum, two thirds of it being export, and one-third—not quite— being home consumption. The first thing that struck me when fifty-four millions was mentioned was, that it , comes just to the amount of our ordinary taxes—l don't mean the taxes of this year, which are extraordinary, but the taxes of some former years ; and if you consider that half of this fifty-four millions is in labour, in the value of the labour bestowed on the cotton industry, it comes to this The CuAinala.N—l think you may say thirty millions for labour. Mr. BRIGHT—WeII, we are not to a million in a mat : - .er of this sort, and therefore, taking it at half, it will follow that it requires the whole labour of double the number of persons who are employed in tho cotton industry of this coutry to provide every year for the ordinary taxa tion of the country. (Hear, hear.) That is, call this country what you like, either in population or in labour —I mean taking also the surrounding districts, those parts of Cheshire, De4byshire, and Yorkshire which are interested in the cotton trade—and, be they as nume asthey may, the Treptrialleao';af ‘ttawit•feiilitricfs, and all its labour, so far as it is concerned in'the prodUction of our cotton manufactures, would only yield half the I ordinary taxation of this 'ccuntry, and - it would re quire double the whole of that labour to produce the whole ordinary taxation of the ceuntry. (Hear, hear.) Well, that struck me as being.a very serious fact ; and probably this year it may not be incorrect to say that it will require three times the.whole of that labour to produce as much as will be actually expended out of the public taxes and income by the Government of this kingdom. (Hear.) Now, I know some people believe it is an ordination of Providence that there should be very rich people, and that there should be a great many people very poor ; but, putting theories of that kind aside, 1 think a man would be blind, and he ought to have some one to lead him about, or be ought 'not to be allowed to go about at all, if ho cannot see that the ab sorption by a Government of the peofits, er a sum equal to the products of the indu , try of such a vast proportion efits population, must tend necessarily is create a vast amount of suffering and pauperism in the country. Now I am one of those who take rather kilOomy view of our present position, and what we are approaching to. Our chairman has mentioned the condition of the food mar ket. Now, I have a c'reular from one of the most emi nent persons connected with the corii.Jrade,' in which it is stated that the harvest of 1853 was theenost deficient probably that we have had in this country since 1817, and that the harvest of 1854 was the Most productive that ever we had in this country ; I •believe these two facts are not disputed by anybody, connected with the trade • yet it is a very curious thing that though the price of wheat last year, 725. 2d.:a qnatter, was higher than it has been for a whole year during any year since 1819, and notwithstanding the extraordinary harvest of 1854, the price of wheat in December-last was 735. ld., being higher by about is. 6d. than it was:in 1853, when the harvest had been so greatly degbient., Thus Provi dence has given to the husbandman his full share of re ward, has filled every measure, every storehouse, and every barn, and yet in December, 1854, the price of wheat was actually higher than it was- in December, 1853, after the most deficient harvest we bad had since 1817. (Hear.) Well, then, further on in the same circu lar is another fact stated, that—'“ Since the'publication of our last monthly circular weiliaire .procured a little further information respecting the exports of wheat - from. Russia in 1853, which fully bears out one estimate that it was at least 6,000,000 quarters— , It is not, therefore, surprising that, with stocks eihaiusted in every other part of Europe, the stoppage of this source of supply Should have proslaced the present - high range of prices. Even with a continuance of average crops we cannot expect much lower rates, in the absence of imports from Russia ; while another harvest similar to that of 1.853 would make the continuance of the present war a cause of incalculable misery to 'the poor throughout the rest of Europe." If we could conceive that in 1854 the harvest had. been no better than in 1853, and that the supplies from. Russia had been stopped, there cannot be the slighteet'doubt but our poor people would have been perishing in -our streets and oh our door-steps, and it _would have - been absolutely impossible to preserve the peace of the country. That is a fact, and it is a state of things which appears to me very worthy of our serious consideration. There are one or two more statements I will allude to with respect to this subject, because I know there are people who fancy that ao long as people are well employed it does not much matter what people pay for food, but they seem to lose sight of the fact, that every day somebody is becoming less and less able to purchase it. In the United Kingdom the consump tion of wheat, in rouud numbers, is 30 millions of quar ters—perhaps a little less, and the present price being 31. 10s. a quarter, that will give us an expenditure, at this rate of price in a year, of 105 millions sterling for wheat. There can be no doubt whatever that, if the imports had been free, with our late great harvest, the price would have been 50s. instead of 705., that is, a saving of 20s. a quarter ; and 30 millions of quarters at V. 10s. would come to 75 millions sterling, and it mazes therefore a simple difference of 30 millions sterling in the cost of our ordinary food. But if we had spent the same sum of 105 millions, and had purchased the wheat at 21. 10s. per quarter, it would have given us 12 mil lion quarters of wheat, that is, in all, 42 millions of quarters for the same sum we now give for 30 millions of quarters ; and, therefore, that which is now an actual scarcity, as shown by the markets all over the country, would have been an abundance of the most profuse char acter—perhaps as profuse as we have ever seen in this country before. Now, that extra expenditure comes to an amount exceeding 51. per annum for every family in the country, being equal to doubling the rent of all the working classes in the United Kingdom, because on the average, they don't, I believe, lire in houses of more than 5!. yearly rent, a-id there being about 6,000,000 families, or rather less than that, it would give 30,000,0001. as the extra sum they have to give for food. That is not the whole matter, be cause this 30,000,0001. paid for food is folowed by an other sum almost equal in amount—l will not call it equal, I will be under the mark, and I will say 20,000,0001. of extra expenditure on the part of the Go vernment, which will bring the whole extra expenditure in food, and the increased expenditure of Government together, to a sum not less than 50,000,0001. sterling this year. Therefore we are in the position of actually paying a tribute—to a foreign country I won't say—but to an idea of supposed benefit and gain of some kind, of 50,000,0001. sterling this year ; and whether we shall get anything on the other side of the ledger or not is a matter which some people are sanguine about, but I con fess I am not ; but at any rate the payment is made, and cannot be escaped, and its results, I think, we are bound to look at. That 50,000,0001. is withdrawn from capi tal, the fund out of which labour is supplied ' • but that does not make the whole mischief, for we all know the doubt, and fear, and uncertainty prevailing in the minds of capitalists all over the country, causing probably a withdrawal of funds, of capital equal to the wkole of that amount of 20 and 30 millions together ; and, there fore, the sum you actually expend is by no means a fair indication of the mischief to which you are subjected. Look at the absorption of money—a loan in France, a vast loan in Austria, a loan in Prussia, Russia raising money in some way, and by loans if it be possible, this country balancing whether it shall be by extra taxation, or whether it shall be by a loan ; but in whichever way it is, whatsoever be this expenditure now going on at such a prodigious rate all over Europe, and to so large an extent in this country, that money being withdrawn from profitable investments and modes of employmen t by of by which labour is sustained, it must, as a matter _ course, act upon this country, and I any other,elieveconupnotnrythliss country more powerfully than other countries in the world, of whicll and upon all this the great monetary and commercial centre. Take h Ame rica, for example. In the United States peop eave traded too fast, and imported too much, and it is quite possible that, apart from all this, there would have been some checkin the extrao rdinar y im p ortation of th at country from pent artly invested these difficul there,ties a o r r i s i e n h t e h r e e , Englis hcourse of ritaL'nvested, is naturally withd rawn ; the b loo d c th a is; but w t h h ic e h m h o i m being comes back to the heart, and the extremities are left without snpport, and thus you have a crash in the United States, not only precipit a t e d , b ut much more v i o l en t and alarming than you would have had, in all proba bility, if this state of things had not arisen. Thus, Although we may have fancied, as some public writers have insanely or di s h ones tl y attempted to show us, that trade is not suffering at all by the foreign policy of this country, we find that not only at home are all the sources of our prosperity dried up by the impoverishment of our people, but that there is not a single market on the face of the globe that is 'not influenced adversely to our inte rests by the effects produced there by the contraction of money facilities at - home. Well, now, this state of things puts us all in a condition of more fierce competi tion ; we are all producing really rather more than our customers require ; we are all anxious not to suspend our operations, and we are all competing for the dimi nished number of customers ; and the consequence is that profits are almost universally brought down to nothing, and in many branches of trade, there cannot be the slightest doubt that in some considerable branches of the cotton trade, there is actually a loss being made by all those who are engaged in them. If profits aro gone, what becomes of employment ? Don't we know that at this moment, if it were not for the annoyance it gives to many spinners and manufacturers to see their APPOINTMENTS.

The following circular, regulating the promotions in the Commissariat, was one of the Duke of New castle's latest official acts, and we publish it as no bad illustration of the honest care for the efficiency of the public service which characterised his admi nistration : " Secretary of State's Oflice, War Department, Jan. 15, 1855. • " Sir,—Upon the occasion of the transfer of the Com missariat from the Board of Treasury to the department of the Secretary of State for War, the Duke of New castle had under his special consideration the rules by which the promotion of Commissariat officers is regu lated.- " These may thus be summed up : " That promotions be conferred only at the close of each year. "That length of service be calculated according to the period of each officer's actual service on full pay. "That seniority be allowed its full weight, but that selections be made dependent upon recorded merits and services. " His grace is of opiniori that these general rules, if carried out in their integrity, are calculated to elevate the commissariat service, to stimulate exertion, and to insure a succession of able and zealous officers for the various important duties to be performed. "13ut it appears to his grace to lee of the last import ante that no extraneous influence, either private or poli tical, should be allowed to enter into the consideration of the comparative claims of officers of the department, which, when viewed in the double light of seniority and superior merit, are already, in some cases, so difficult to be decided upon with perfect fairness. "The Duke of Newcastle is at all times ready to g ive his his best attention to representations made in official form' in favour of officers on the ground of services, but his grace desires me to express his determination to consider private applications, on other grounds, either from officers or from friends on their behalf, as furnishing evidence that the merits of such officers are not alone sufficient to justify their being promoted.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant, " HENRY ROBBRTS. "To the Commissariat Officer in charge." NAVAL AND MILITARY OPERATIONS. The following letter has been addressed to a contem porary : Sir,—At the time that the honour of England and her pesition as a great Power are involved in the success or otherwise of onr military and naval operations against Russia, and considering 'that much of that success must mainly and of necessity depend upon an effective adminis tration of our naval resources, it may not be inopportune to call the serious attention of Parliament and the country to an extract from a speech of the Earl of Malinesbury in the debate in the House of Lords on Thursday last. The noble earl, who knows well the responsibility of office, having himself been a Secretary of State, and who is a Privy Councillor, and one of our hereditary legisla tors, thus announces the inefficiency of our present sys tem of the administration of the navy, showing clearly its injurious consequences upon the honour and material interests of this great element of England's strength : " If the administration of the patronage of the army were assimilated to that of the navy, it would become the hot-bed of jobbing and trickery, which has been for many years a reproach to the Admiralty and this country. (H ear , hear.) I say it has been a reproach, and a just reproach, to the Admiralty, and I myself can recollect that one of the earliest steps I took in public life showed me, without doubt, how far that system of corruption prevailed under the, peculiar administration of the navy." I am, sir, yours, &c., Feb. 9. A NIvAL REFORMER. Her Majesty's monster steamer Himalaya is to leave Southampton on Monday, having undergone a thorough overhaul.

If you come' to the condition of your population, what is that ?:. Two or three years ago every man that was charitably disposed was like a frozen-out gardener' —there was nothing for him to do, and all the places of benefactions, 'soup : kitchens, and places of that kind, were shut up for want of paupers. But now, if you go to the Chorlton union, or the Manchester union —he fact there is hardly a union in the kingdom I believe in which the increase of poor-rates is not most marked. I heard it the other day in conversation, eel , no doubt it is true, that in one of these unions an ex. penditure of 4001. had risen to 7001. a week. In l3ir. miugham you find hundreds of people about the poor law offices, and the mag istrates a n d C a th o li c pr i ests, an d everybody who has infl uence, brought out to persuade the people that relief would be given to them. In some of the London unions the increase of pauperism is ab solutely frightful, and I doubt very much if there be a single union throughout the country in which the in crease of poor-rates is not very strongly marked during the past year. I know myself that two or three years ago you hardly ever saw a beegar, unless it was some man who was so from long habit, or from actual incapa city, and one of those poor men whom everybody allows to go about and live upon hie neighbours. Otherwise there were no beggars, but now the case is altogether different. I know that as far as regards my house, and our work., and our neighbourhood, where I believe we are much, better off than in many parts of the country, the beggars are increasing every day, and becoming al inest as great a trouble as they were 10 or 15 year.; ago; and at the same time the applications for employment from those who certainly do not wish to beg are very much more numerous than they were two or three years ago. Now, in our town (Rochdale), I believe it is not so had as it is many places ; the flannel trade has been brisk ; I believe the long frost of the season is favour able, and Government contracts have added to the pro fits of that particular branch of trade. And there are some men who fancy, because they have got Govern. meat contracts, that therefore trade is good, and that war is good for trade. (Laughter.) Why, it is, in fact,' carrying on the trade of Rochdale or Dewsbury, or any , where else, by the taxation of the country, and as some body has eescribed it, it is like keeping a dog alive by fee , line him with his own tail. (Laughter.) I confess I thisai s seassechamber (4onarxwpAt and Menttract9rast o we are bound to look a little seriously at this Matter. We havegot in Yorkshire and Lancashire three millions of people dependent for the most part on the prosperity of those great commercial industries so long settled in in these districts ; and we know perfectly well that a. mg course of high prices in f ,od, markets abroad glut ted. home market enfeebled and hampered —we know perfectly well what all that brings us to in a not very long time in this district. Whether it be a corn law or a deficient harvest with no supplies from abroad, or an abendant harvest here insufficient for us without sup plies from abroad, and supplies from abroad not obtain able, or from whatever cause it happens, if you have the supplies of food in this country for any long period at 70e. per quarter, it is not in the changes of cabinets and prime ministers ; it is not in dreams of glory in foreign wars ; it is not in amy contrivance of human statesman ship or human imposture, that the population can be prevented from sinking deeper and deeper into suffer ing, and if into suffering, then into discontent, and if into discontent, then at length into insuboriination. (Cheers.) My solemn belief is that if these six million quarters of corn are to be, by the effects of our foreign policy, kept out of this country, before two years are over you will shoot your own fellow-citizens in your own streets. I conclude that, from all that I have seen for the last five-and-twenty years that I have been inti mately connected with the interior consideration of these questions ; and, therefore, without expressing here, as I shall not express at all, any opinion on the policy of the Government, for I think we are ourselves now rather mere concerned in these facts than in discus sing other matters ; without going into any questions extraneous from the true objects of this meeting— (hear, hear)—l am persuaded that we are standing on the threshold of difficulties such as many of those who are now loudest in favour of the causes that are bringing those difficulties upon us, little apprehend ; and ~ when those difficulties come, in all probability they will be just as terrified as I have seen some of them on former occasions when these disasters haveoveriakeis the country. (Hear.) Now, I shall say no more ! . cause I think these facts, which I believe are netto Aso contradicted, are in themselves more eloquent than any language that I or anybody else c ou ld use ; think they only need to be put before the intelligent people • . of this district to bring them seriously trt, consider they future, not the distant, but the . nlin q st imniediate future ; because now don't we perceive every•weisk' tlat,thore is a closer grip upon the means of life ; and that A branch of business that was not very much injUred laist teak is less strong this week, and becomes feeble next, andin mouth or two sinks down into that state eflassitudo and ..depression which has overtaken so many - other branches of trade I could point out towns—the towns of Kidder minster and Bradford, and many others in the country —in which business is in a state which has not beets paralleled for very many years; and I see no reason in the world why that state of things should not gradually creep on until it presses with extreme severity upon eve,' , branch of trade ; upon all those persons whose capitatuu not superabundant for everything they have to de, ate e.pecially upon all that class of workmen who are those , soonest discharged, soonest plunged into suffering and ruin from any disasters of this kind. All I ask is, that we should endeavour to introduce to the minds of all with whom we come in contact a sense of the vast evils which are treading close upon us—for their very foot steps you may hear now, if you will only hearken ; and that we should, whenever there be ally opportunity, put ao obstacle in the course of any Minister who shall endeavour, by any rational or moderate policy, to put an end to what I believe is about to be, if not soon ended, one of the most disastrous conditions we have seen in this country during our life-time. (Cheers.) The resolution was agreed to, and the meeting termi nated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. ARRIVAL OF THE ORINOCO WITII MILITARY INVALIDS. The hired steam transport Orinoco, 1,891 tons, Com mander Wilson (one of the Royal Mail Steam Company's flotilla), arrived at Spithead yesterday noon from the Black Sea with military invalids. She left Constan tinople on the 21st of January, Malta on the 27th, and Gibraltar on the 2d instant, and has brought home Lieu tenant-Colonel Stratton, Major Cameron, the Rev. Mr. Halpin, Mr. Stickney, D.C.G., Captain Telford, of the 17th ; Captain Bennett, of the 20th ; Captain Millsr, of the 79th.; Captain Hutton, of the 4th Dragoons ; Cap tain Fairclous.Th, of the 631 ; Captain Cockburn, of the 63.1 (in charge of the invalids) ; Lieu;,erant Nevi!, Lieu tenant M`Bayne, Lieutenant M`Donald, Assistant. Surgeon Irwin, of the 28th ; Veterinary Surgeon Poett, of the let. Royal Dragoons ; Mr. Barron, D.A.C.G. ; Paymaster Alldridge, R.N. ; Mr. and Mrs. Hannah and Sons ; Mr. Ferguson, Assistant Engineer, R.N. ; Mr. Lambert, Commissioner's Clerk ; trio Assistant Commissariat storekeepers, seven women nurses, from Scutari ; 111 sick and wounded soldiers ; and 9 women. Lieutenant-Colonel Ridley, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, left the Orinoco at Malta, proceeding to England via Marseilles. On the 24th ult. the Orinoco passed a screw steamer, which showed the second distinguishing pennant No 8,453, steering east ; on the 28th she passed a French line-of-battle ship steering east ; on the 27th the General Screw Company's ship Hydaspes, with French troops, was going into Malta as the Orinoco was leav ing, and the Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord Edward Russell, arrived off the harbour. A vigorous attempt was to be made on the 2d instant to get her Majesty's steam sloop Heels off the shore in the neutral passage, Gibraltar, which it was expected would succeed. On the 3d, ff Cape St. Vincent, she spoke the British brig Elizabeth Thompson, standing south, and wished to be reported also the steamer Monarch. The Tagus, with the Alexandria mail, had not arrived at Malta when the Orinoco left. She will go into Ports mouth Harbour this morning to land her invalids. The only wounded officers by her are Captain Hut ton, who was shot through both thighs at Baliklava ; Captain Fairclough, wounded at Inkerman ; and Cap tain Bennett, wounded in the side at Inkerstan. The men are from nearly every regiment in the field, and many are very severely maimed, amputations having been numerous. We interested ourselves in the inquiry among those fr om th e seat of war as to w h e th er th e re ports and lett ers i n t h e Ti mes, describing the state of mismanagement and suffering in the camp and at Bala. klava, were accurate or overstated. The universal reply was quite the contrary ; the statements, harrowing and naked as they have been presented to the publics by the Times, they say have not half come up to the truth of the picture of horrors and misery actually apparent everywhere as the scenes so vividly depicted by indig nant sufferers. When we told them that in his place in the House of Commons Rear-Admiral Berkeley said he had lately received letters from Balaklava, purpoi ting to be the communications from a score of transport masters, averring that the state of that harbour was almost in its perfectness a second Liverpool, they lifted up their hands and eyes in amazement, and the exclamation which fol lowed was of the shortest and most perfect in its appli cation to such a statement. •They expressed loud 11l dignation at the treatment of Mr. Russell, of the riMat whose company they said had cheered many a man in his last moments, and who was beloved w herever his society was enjoyed. A gallant and distinguis hed the rear at Inker officer at Portsmouth, on the arrival of the last ship , in formed us that his son, a captain in the Guards , at the seat of war, knew Mr. Russell well, and the last he saw of him was, when being carried to man he saw Mr. Russell "in a hole,employed ban dagingWeers.
