This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1641 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of then Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured wish Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life.

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vestrd in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual intFrest, The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be alluwed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 100/., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits XI 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 . . 30 .. 1 19 8 40 . .... ........... ... 2 14 3 ... 3 1 3 50 Far short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

REMARKABLE CIRCUAISTANCE.—About eight days ago a swarm of young bees, from the stock of Mrs. Elizabeth Stephenson, of Dalton-in Furness, left the parent hive in search of a new habitation ; and after flying about for some time alighted upon a small bird, which was perched upon the bough of a pear-tree, and which, strange as it may appear, allowed itself to be hived along with the bees, and after remain in, with them a short time flew out of the hive, apparently quite di lighted with its novel adventure.--Lancaster Guardani RURAL FELICITY.—Cf all breeds of wattle we most admire the Alderney. They are slim, delicate. wilil-deer looking creatures, that give :In a r to a cottage ; but they are most capricious milkers. Of oui•se you make your own butter; that is to say, with the addit an of a dozen purchased pounds weekly, you are not very often out of that commodity. Then, once or twice in a summer, they suddenly lose their temper, and chase the governess and your dau zhters ever the edge of a gravel pit. Nothing they like so n uch as the tender sprouts of cauli flower, nor do they abhor green peas. The garden-hedge is of privet, a pretty fence, d fast.gro sing, but net formidable to a four-year-old. On going to eat a fo x gooseberries by sunrise, 3 ou start a covey of cows, that it, their alarm plunge into the hot-bed with a smash , as if all the glass in the island been broken; and rushing out at the gate at the critical instant little Tommy is tottering in, they leave the heir-apparent, scarcely deserving that name, half-hidden in the border. There is no sale for such outlandish animals in the home -market ; and it is not Martin mas, so you must make a present of them to the President, or five s ilver -cup-man of an agricultural society, and you receive in return a sorry red round, desperat,ly saltpetred at Christmas. Christopher North's Recreations, Vol. 1. Mr. Rowland put in some corrections of his evidence on 'Wednesday, which were admitted. Mr. Bloomfield, one of the witnesses, complained to the Chairman, for himself and others, of the allowance they had received for their expenses. Some parties, he said, had been allowed double and treble what had been received by others, and been paid at a rate far exceeding what they were entitled to from their rank and station in life. One person, who was a master lithographic printer, and who was obliged by his absence to leave all his presses idle, only had seven shillings a-day, while a common porter, who called himself a commission agent, received a guinea a"-day. He was himself a brazier and tinman, in extensive business, and he• received fifteen shillings a-day. They were paid 4L 10s. for their ex penses in coming up from Belfast, and he could prove that they exceeded that sum. Mr. COPPOCK, the agent for the inquiry, said the witnesses were paid by a scale, according to the occupa tions and stations in life they gave themselves. The al lowance in no case exceeded a guinea a• day, nothing was ever given for loss of time, nor anything alloWed hut the actual eat-o4pocket e x p enses . M r. B loomf i eld had received the allonnce of a shopkeeper. It appeared that one witness, who was a bricklayer, by styling himself an " archit ec t," got a gu i nea a day others had received proportionably less than they con-' eta ved themselves entitled to. The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible the Committee could alter the scale fixed by the Treasury. The room was then cleared for the Committee to con sider its decision. The room remained closed till four o'clock, and on its being announced that the Speaker was at prayers, Mr. Shaw left to apply for leave from the Speaker to remain sitting. SOUTHAMPTON. The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Hon. J. S. WORTLEY in the Chair,. William Andre - WS, a tailor and barrowman of South ampton, was called, but the witness appeared reluctant to answer any questiOns, and those which he did answer were of no importance. Mr. BAKER said that he had a person called Johnson, who specially attended the witnesses from Southampton.' The witness told him he saw Mr. Wyatt, the town-crier, before he left Southampton, and that he had an uncle, named Croucher, in --London, whom he 'must see. They called at Mr. Croucher's officein Bridge-street, and one of his clerks came out with them, and the three, Johnson, witness o and the clerk, went together to a pub lic-house in Hungerford-market, where they had some beer. After some time the clerk left and came back with a cab, into which he and the witness went, and from that time to the present he (Mr. Baker) (lid not know where he wes. The CHAIRMAN said they had reason to suspect, front the absence of Luce, and from other circumstances, that this was Lot the only case in which witnesses were tam pered with, and if Mr. Baker could prove what he had stated, the Committee would feel called upon to put a stop to such conduct: He could not but say that such conduct must east strong suspicion on the defence, and whoever was at the bottom of it, it was not likely to benefit tlwir cause 'He certainly would not give, any order for expenses, where such a mode of conduct was proceeded with. Mr. HEARN said that, with regard to the absence of Luce, be received' a letter, stating that he (Mr. Luce) had long since made arrangements to go to France, Mr. BAKER said he had a document, which he would lay before the Committee in a short time, to show thnt Luce was in England. two days ago. Mr. HEARN said he should be very glad to know where Luce was. Sir J. HAN3IER said this subject was one which the Committee ought to sift to the bottom. William Wing, a licensed hawker, was called—lie got two summonses to appear before the Committee. He had not money to come when he received the first sum __ mons. Ile got money at the last election. He got 20/. on the nomination day from Air. Mackay. Had not made any arrangements with Mr. Mackay rel a ti ve . to the 20/. Never spoke to Mr. Mackay before. He got the money for the purpose of paying persons to keep the town in order, and to have a good show of hands. A person whom he did not know spoke to him to employ the men, and desired him to go to Mr. who would pay him. He employed about 100 men. Mackayde also employed men for the eli - diing. He got 201. from Mackay to give them some beer. He employed more than 100. The CHAIRMAN—TOR were desired by a person you did not know to employ so many men, and you went to Mr. Mackay, whom you did not know, and received money from him without asking any questions. Do you think the Committee will believe that ? Witness—That is the truth. Robert Donkin, a tailor, residing in Southampton, was called and examined-4s a voter of Southampton. Voted for Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. Mr. Mackay gave him four 61. notes on the day of polling. It was not to bribe him, but to get the money changed. He returned twenty sovereigns to Mr. Mackay. Did not shake any money in the presence of any voter. Mr. Cheeseman changed the notes. Might have asked Mr. Locke, the brewer, for the change. Mr. Locke did not say he would not change the notes because he (witness) could not have got them honestly. John Watson was next called and examined—ls a coachmaker in Southampton. Is Deputy Postmaster. Received a printed letter not to interfere in the election. He ordered a dinner at Ballinger's for 100 per sons. The price was tour shillings a head, ex clusive of drink. There were five or six other dinners in other places. Ballinger's bill was 44/. 17s. lie paid fur the dinner out of the Conservative Con vivial Association funds. He made a fly for Ballinger for which he gave a bill for 601. at a month's date. In a short time Ballinger called his creditors together to com pound with them.. When witness got the money from the Conservative Societe, he placed it at the back of the bill due to hint from Ballinger. Does nut know the per son who gave him the money. He got it through the Committee. Mr. Seobell was the treasurer. He found ' the money on the table. There was no person present. He got the money from the Committee. Ilegot it through Air. Cheeseman, he believes. Mr. Cheeseman was then called. On the 2d of June he ordered a dinner for 100 persons at Ballinger's. The money was paid from the Conservative Society - funds. Pert of the money was paid by Mr. Stebbing : he (wit ness) wrote to him for money, and he sent- 1001. Mr. Seeking was an honorary member of the Society. Ilia subscription was 11. Does not know why he sent 100 e Does not know where it came from, except that Mr. Stebbing sent it to him. Ile °elected to give the 441. 17s. to Watson. He paid it to Lisle to hold it. Hu since understood that Watson was paid the money. Does not know by whose direction he was paid. Mr. C. Deacon, Town-Clerk of Southampton, was called and examined by Mr. Iltesee—He practised for twiny years as a solicitor in Southampton. Was not one of Lord Bruce's and Mr. Martyn's Committee. Did not interfere in the election more than to give his vote and interest to the Conservatives. Knows Mr. J. Wren. Met him on the day of nomination. It is a base fabrication to say that he told Wren a per son of the name of Houghton was to be had for money. Mr. Corfe, the coroner, was with him. Mr. Wren and, ho believed, Mr. Pike met him. and Mr. Curie, and they spoke on the subject of the .elec tion. Wren said that he believed Houghton was a doubt ful voter. IVitness said he knew his brother, who was a Conservative, and that he believed Houghton himself would support Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. He never made use of the word bribery in connection with Hough ton. Saw Mr. Wren daring the late proceedings. Chas. Brown came to him and said that Wren wished to speak youe witnesse s . Wi tness sa i d, to him. Wren said that h e was badly used by the Con servatives ; that he could not get any protection ; was ; treated like a dig and that Mr. Cr ouc h er would not let him dine n with o the election, and you are . said to h ave declared that y ou were offered 300/. to sell the ele ction." Wren a nswere d that he was offered the money, but n ever received 6d. ; he only went once into Sharpel s offi ce on t deserve the it , You w ere seen frequently going into Messrs. Sharp e and learrison's offic e a fter othr private busi ness ; that he only went to slr. Baker when the Con servatives cast hint oft; and that he had no desire to in jure Lord Bruce and Mr. Martyn. It is a base and wicked fabrication to say that he ever desired any person to offer 100/. or any other sum to Wren for any purpose. Knows Mr. Abraham's handwriting ; saw him write under every circumstance; the signature, " A. Abra hams," is not that of Mr. Abrahams; it is a forgery; it has same resemblance to his handwriting, but believes it, is not his. Was agent to th e Conservatives i n 18a7 ; be lieves there was no b r ib er y at that election; there was treating; he was the conducting agent there; was not connected with the finance department; did not see all the money accounted fur. _ Alfred Gandy was next called—Wes not offered any money for his vete by Lisle. Might have said so. Does nut recollect. Does not recollect telling a person called Bloke that such was the fact. John Sadler Moodie was next called. The witness produced the canva ss-book of the Cons ervat i ve party, i n which the names of the voters who pro m i se d to vote f or Lord Bruce a nd Mr. Martyn were pl ace d , w i t h t h e r n csotti l i s e m P s eorpsp°onslict.e the voter twyfo d in the h° got each vote.

GLOBE.--Every argument of Sir Robert Peel against Mr. Bannerman s motion was V less an ar gument against Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law. To do the Right Hon. Baronet justice, this appeared to he no secret to himself:_ Sir Robert Peel, however can did with malice prepense, never throws away candour without having some purpose to serve by showing it. We are justified in supposing therefore—and doubt less the benches behind him ". believed and trembled" - -that there - was miching malechomischief meant — in the following very candid adtnission " Whether the article be free of duty, or have only a nominal duty affixed to it, the probability is, that those who hold it will detain it when they have any prospect . of realising a high price. I admit, at the same time, that a varying rate of duty has a tendency to strengthen that propensity—(Loud ironical cheers from the Opposition.) I 10, not deny it." . . By Sir Robert Peel's express admission then, his own Corn-law is itself liable to the very argument which he used, we think etinOusively, against Mr. Bannerman's motion : • " There was a reasonable prospeet of 6s. duty under the present law, and as there were 1,400,000 quarters of corn now in bond, the - revenue would be benefited to the amount of 500,0001.--:(Cheers.) If, however, you give a discretionary power to the Government, corn will be held back in the hope that Government under a severe pressure will give way ; the ordinary operations of commerce will be disturbed ; and if Go vernment must give way you will lose the amount of duty, which, on your own showing, could be realised without disadvantage to the consumer." The above argument is as clearly condemnatory of the sliding scale,. as of the proposed discretion ; and not less clearly is it a tribute to the superior advan tage of. a fixed duty. Sir Robert Peel, in fact, openly borrows from Lord John Russell the cudgel of com mercial principle wherewith he floors Mr. Banner man. He assumes the very position which is taken by the advocates of a fixed duty, in order to meet the arguments of the advocates of discretionary power. STANDARD.—In the House of Commons, last night, Mi. Sergeant Murphy moved for a Committee to arrange the abolition of the dues payable to the clergy in the several corporate towns of Ireland. Mr. Sergeant Jackson opposed the motion. Mr. Sheil promised that unless the Government should exhibit a disposition to accede to the wishes of the Irish people, they might expect to have the. Roman Catholic ques tion•revived, in all its force, in the course of next session." Mr. Morgan O'Connell' and others sup ported the motion. Sir Robert Inglis observed that the motion, and the threat just pronounced, • proved how little had been gained by the concessions of 1829. Mr. Litton and Mr. Shaw opposed the. motion. Lord Eliot said, that, he could not look upon the' clergy of Ireland as an adequately remunerated body of men, and could not consent to see them deprived of their present sources of income, unless a proper sub stitute was ,proposed. The motion was rejected by a majority of 85 to 56. THERE IS AN OATH— An oath which we have often printed—an oath solemnly taken upon the Holy Gospels by Mrs Sergeant Murphy, the Right Honourable Richard Shiel, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, and Mr. Daniel Callaghan, all of )vhom lasi- night exerted them selves to deprive the United Church of the sole means of supportin..f the clergy in the corporate . towns of Ireland. We shall print this oath at length if pro voked again, but at present we shall charitably believe that it has been only forgotten , and content ourselves with reminding gentlemen, at they have sworn to something, upon which it would be well to refresh their memories by a perusal of the words of the oath which they have sworn. This will be the more useful if Mr. Shiel's threat of a revived Catholic question shall he realised. Mr. Shiel's threat, however, deserves a separate consideration. It will' be remembered that before the accession of the present 'Government to office, the party to which they belong was charged with a purpose of repealing the Bill of 1829 ; that party, now nine months in power, has been' so pro vokingly forbearing in this particular, that the Act in question has not, we believe, been in a single instance' referred to in either House of Parliament, in speech or sermon out of doors, or in any public journal. At length, however, we have a threat, that the settlement of 1829 is to he at tacked, and this threat comes not from any Con servative, ultra-Tory, or Orangeman, but from the Right Hon. Member for Dungarvon, one of the fbremost among those who for I :mg years pro nounced that such a settlement must be final. We do not charge Mr. Shiel with perfidy, because, though a clever Man,. he is too giddy, and, must we say it, too shallow a person to be guilty of anything deliberate—We can add, with pleasure, too honourable in his nature to be volun tarily guilty of anything base • but still the realisa tion, by his party, of his direat would certainly be nothing less . than foul perfidy, aggravated by more foul perjury in its Parliamentary repre sentatives. But be it so. Let that party try its new Catholic, question. Let it attack the settle ment of 1829 —we, and the country we believe with us, are prepared for the struggle. We do not want the repeal of the Bill of 1829 ; but. if the parties inte rested insist upon it, they may perhaps he indUlged, The Duke of Wellington, if we remember rightly, gave a promise upon the introduction of the Bill in the House of Lords—a promise, that it' the Bill should fail of - giving contentment and ensuring tranquillity in Ireland, he. himself would mote for. its repeal. Mr. Shied is,. therefore, sure. of a proposer in the House of Lords, if he wants to get rid of the law in question. He may himself pro pose the repeal in the House - of Commons. Let the struggle then come as soon as it may," we are all ready for it ; something stronger then we were thir teen years ago, by the help of the thirteen years' ex perience—last night's work alone is worth something —but come the struggle soon, or come it late, let i be remembered from whom the challenge conies.

TO THE TIMOR OF THE TIMER. Sir,—Previous to the recent meeting of the Wilkie Testi monial Committee, Mr. Joseph, the sculptor, put the accom panying letter into my hands, thinking it might be of service to him if read to the Committee. I had no opportunity of reading the letter, and Mr. Joseph's object has been already gained. It occurs to me, however, that such a letter might prove interesting to the public, as everything must do which helps to link together two such names as Scott and Byron. Your obedient servant, JAMES HALL. Athenwum Club, Pall-mall, July P. S. I ought to have mentioned that Mr. Joseph was pre. vented by Lord flyron's death from having an opportunity of presenting the letter or snaking the bust. SIR WALTER SCOTT TO LORD avitox. My dear Lord Byron,—Should this reach your hand, it will be delivered by Mr. Joseph, a young sculptor of rising emi. nence, who very wisely goes to Italy to improve himself in his art. His busts have attracted much attention, and many consider him as our most hopeful artist after Chantrey, who has snore work on his hand than a lifetime can execute. But you will be enabled to judge of Mr. Joseph's proficiency from you own observation, as he carries with him several speci mens of his labours, and some of your acquaintances' heads in stone and plaster, nearly as good as the original specimen [s] from which they were taken. N ow , t h e upshot of all this is, an earnest request on my part that if you think Mr. Joseph worthy of encouragement, judging from your own observation, not my recommendation (which in the fine arts is worth no thing), that you will spare so much time as to sit to him, which will be a high feather in his cap .when he returns to Britain, and cannot but have a most important effect upon his fortunes if he is happy enough to succeed: Besides, I cannot disguise from you that I have a little pri vate self interest in your granting Joseph this request, for, as Tony Lumpkin says of his company, I should not so much mind your Lordship disappointing bun if I did not at the same time incur disappointment myself, since if you spare so much time as to let him model your bust, he has orders to :finish a copy for me in marble, to be one of the Lares at Abbotsford. I am always, my dear Lord, very truly y ours , Edinburgh, July 1823. WALTER SCOTT. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A very mein nehol v accident took place on Wednesdarafteihoon, in the neigh bourhood of the Boharm suspension -bridge. Two children of Anderson, saw-miller, at the Shirra Haugh of Arn dilly, were climbing, it seems, on the rocks of one of the ravines of Benagen, in search of hawks' nests, when a part of the rock gave way with them. They fell to the bottom, and the mass of rocks fell upon them, crushing the leg of one of them, a fine girl of eleven year s of age, to a perfect jelly. and otherwise wounding her severely; while the thigh bone of the other, a boy of about nine years old, was broken, and his head much bruised, After some time, they were found in this condition by their poor mother, who was not able to remove the rook from them, and some further delay occurred before assistance could be procured in such a lonely situation. 'When information of the accident reached Dr APPherson, of Garbity, he repaired to the spot, and endea voured to save the life of the girl by amputating the crushed limb, but in vain--she sunk in death a few minutes after the operation. The boy is under the doctor's ca-e, still in life, but, we understand, in a very doubtful state,—Vdin burgh Witness.

The Delegates met again Yeaterday, at the Craven and Anchor Tavern, at eleven &clock, Mr. P. A. Taylor in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that, in opening the Conference that morning, he should commence by reading some cor respondence Which had been received by the Committee since the meeting of yesterday. The Delegates were aware that an application had . been made to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to - receive a deputation from the Conference, for the purpose of representing to him the state of the country, and their views upon the subject. To that application the following answer had been received this morning : his Royal Hi g h ness w ill b e h appy to rece i ve anyr the letter of yeste r d a y' s d ate , i n re l at i on to t h e su ff er i ngs o Mr. White i s comman d e d by th e D a k e of Sussex gentlemen c om p os i ng th e D e p uta ti on w h o forwar de d fthe t to wo sa o y i that the indus trious c l asses , if t h osegent l emen can ma k e i t conven i en t )o call here about h a lf- past one o ' c l oc k to-morrow ( F r id ay ) .

Sir,--1 have to inform you, that at a preliminary meeting held last. night at the publi:: iiltire in this borough, of shop , keepers, innkeepers, tradesmen, and retail dealers, it was tha unanimous opinion of those present, that such a movement at that lately commenced by the inhabitants of Manebeeter and Leeds, was highly desirable; but that so many circumstances combined, having a tendency to oppress and box down the in+ dustry of the country, causes feelings of despair to generate in their bosoms to such an extent, that everything, that passes around them is become entirely hopeless. With a cold, bleak, and dreary winter before them—with nothing, but ruin, utter, hopeless ruin staring them in the face—with its attendant vela• reify, revolution, hovering about them, and draining from within them the very vitals which inspire men to energy, and to deeds of patriotism—with all these adverse circum stances staring them in the face, the shopkeepers end tradesmen have given up all hope of improving their con dition, by remonstrances, and petitioning, and memorialieing, and deputationising, and bending the slavish knee to tyrants, who convert the stateatents of the people's coudition into food for amusement and ridicule, who brutishly laugh at the tat tered garments of the poor, and who mock their heart-breaking representations in giving them stones when they ask for bread. The shopkeepers hare unanimously declares( that their only hope rests in circumstances, which are fast approachipg to a crisis. Those of Birmingham resolved last everting, with fur rowed brows and cheeks flushed with the glow of patriotic in dignation, that they would hereafter stand with folded arms. and watch, until that period, when Engliehmen, knowing their rights, will dare to maintain them. Sir, These are the feelings--this is the determination of the shopkeepers and tradesmen of Birmingham. Sir Robert Peel and his friends have repeatedly acknowledged the distress. They have expressed their surprise that the poor have borne their burdens so patiently. The remedy has, a thousand times, been pointed out to rim, and Sir Robert Peel has a thousand times refused to apply the remedy What hope is there'? None; at least the men of Binning,. ham cannot see any. With such dismal prospects then, and with so little chance of success, rev fellow-townsmen hea , e re tired for the present in gloomy despair ; hut ready at a mo ment's notice to join in raptures any great national movement, which may be made, with a fair prospect of success, for the re demption arid emancipation of our common, our oppressed, and grievously insulted country. I am, Sir, your most obedi en t humble servant, JOSEPH A. LANDER, , Secretary of the Birmingham Anti Core-Laes Association. Steel-house-lane, Birmingham, July 6, 1842. The CHAIRMAN next read the following letter from a, gentleman in Bangor : I hare been, as you are well aware, intimately known in this part of the country for many years past, and my habits and professional avocations have afforded me ample means of obtain ing personally, a eorreet knowledge of the general condition of the inhabitants. I have witnessed during the last two years instances of distress amongst the lower classes which exceed my powers of description ; and, from present appee.raecet, -there is overt' prospect that such instances will be greatly in creased. The earnings of the men employed in the Braicl-y- Cafn and the Clogwyn-y-Gigfran quarries had been for sr,me months past materially reduced by the anode in which their labour was arranged; the men, howeve r , were kept 'on, though unable t o earn what t hey had been accustomed to do, and their hardships were greatly increased by the high priods which corn and butcher's meat commanded. The week before last in B ra i c h- y-Cafn quarry, where there are 2,500 men employed, the days of lab Our were restricted to :four days in the week, being equivalent to the discharge of SOO men : at this time beef, mutton, and lamb are 7,1. the lb., in the Bangor market., and in Llannvst on Tuesday last, wheat was 755., and barley 455. the quarter. The rumour is very prevalent that it is intended shortly to restrict the days of labour to three days in cads week. The parish 'icor are dreadfully oppressed. Many of them are left for weeks together, without being paid the trifling weekly pittance allowed to them by the paro,:hial authorities, although it is well known that it is the only means which the great majority of them have to depend upon for their subsist. coo!. Tins is not peculiar to one parish, or confined to p an e district, but it is general throughout this part of( tih7e,,,peaorkoishtesrs: By official retu rns , th ere were 498 cases (not individuals) In which weekly relief we re i n arrcar for from one is fo ur t een weeks, within th e B angor and Beaurnaris Union ; and I found yesterday that th e paupers i n the Llannvst Puion had been, most of them, nearly three weeks unpaid. The far mers could not pay the rates without being distrained upon, and the local bank refused to make further advances. The distress in that neighbou . hood is mesa aggra vated by restriction of labour in Colonel l'ennanL's quarry, and by the dischar ge o f a great many l a b ourers from, and the 'reduc tion of wages of those retained upon the Gwyttir estate, the fru perty of Lord IVil'onghby, whose agent, Kennedy, is the author of a pamphlet in favour of the Corn-laws. I have never known the condition °kite lower and middling classes more depressed, nor their prospects inure gloomy. Everything seems at a stand still, and every body seems to ask, what is conic us us? I c ue say from my own knowledge that, but for the charity of those who had the means—many whose means were ver, limited —many hut,. viduals in these districts must have periihed liver want--lite rally the want of food, storing the last two years; and there is every prospect at present that many of tho4s who were in the habit of bestowing charity upon oilus, n il! turii to se e k it 1-hgemhsaetliv-cess ere long. t tihefeNavrh(ta,t the disappoint Pr4( e f t ; teo f txhperl":tPiti;iTtaicshof those who trust to its abuntlaiwe as a means of relieving thepre veiling distress. The prier, of butchers' meta is kept up by the scarcity of fat cattle, produced by th elligh price of corn. The i s . else. rality of farmers, it is very well known, havebeen obliged to sell off their corn to meet their rent days, immediately after it wail harvested; and consequently, fur the greater part of the year. 'are buyers of corn for their teas. These men cannot cattle for the ma r k e t ( an d n i ne-tenths of them uteer sat but c h ers ' meat on their own tables from year's end to year's end), hence the scarcity of fat cattle and 'the consetkuent high price of butchers' meat. • The upholders of the Corn-laws. - hive incurred a fearfOl responsibility. God only known how it will terminate. Class legislation to uphold a bankrupt aristocracy, and a bloated priesthood, when the millions are starving, is a dangerous as well as a crue l po li tical experiment.
