COLLIS' LADIES' BREAST OINTMENT. This Ointment is now confidently recommended to the public as an infallible remedy for all diseases of the Breast, occasioned by Cold, or the Milk coring in the Breast. It is a certain cure for Whitlows, Abcess, Scalds, Burns, Bad Legs, and all cutaneous diseases; and in consequence of the now great demand for the Ointment, the Proprietor is induced to lay it before the public —not as a cure for " all the ills that flesh is heir tn," but in cases as above mentioned it is with the greatest confidence recommended to the public.

DETERMINED STT ICIDE.—On Monday forenoon, shortly after nine o'clock, as a police-constable of the K division was passing down a narrow lane running by the side of the City and Tower Hamlets Ceme tery, Bow-common, he observed a man stand ing in a curious attitude against the rail ings of the cemetery. On going up to him, he found '• that he was suspended by a handkerchief from the railings, his feet nearly touching the ground.

In one way or other, success is certainly before us; we have but to persevere in our meetings and union of efforts, and the time may mt be far off when com merce shall be safe, when traffic shall be free, when we can extend oar industry, and enjoy the fruits of the suecesstuli ndustry of those who are gone hence, without being stopped in our harbour-mouths to pay a custom that we honestly believe to be public plunder. The Rev. Mr. BISHOP, of Warrington, then ad dressed the meeting in an eloquent speech; after which, thanks were voted to the strangers', and the proceedings closed. mistake made with respect to his own.—(Cheers.) His opinions, as he said before, remained unaltered, and were decidedly hostile to those 'changes to which he had already refered.—(Cheers.) There was one other topic which he wished, before he sat down, to touch, but touch lightly upon. It was with regard to the position and interests of the agricultural labourers of this county, in which he knew all who heard him took a deep interest. He could assure them that it afforded him great gratification, as one deeply interested in. the welfare of the county, to find that by recent regula tions of the farmers of this neighbourhood employ ment had been found for the poor labourer—(Hear) —and that he had not been allowed, as heretofore, to go wandering in search of work. He had a short time since spoken to some of his friends, whom he now saw.present, in the simple language of truth and friendship ; and he now repeated it, that it was much better for them, as farmers, to employ their labourers, so that they might gain an honest livelihood, even though the finding of such employment might press heavily at the time, than to withh o ld suc h employ ment, and thereby drive them to seek refuge in the poor-house.—(Cheers.) For let it not be forgotten that, although in the workhouse, they must still be sup ported by the farmer, and that, too, without deriving any advantage from their services, while they at the same time, were deprived of the satisfaction of know ing that they earned the bread they eat.—(Cheers.) Let us, then (continued the Noble Duke), for God's sake, as Englishmen and farMera go on united heart and hand in endeavouring to forward to our ut most the prosperity of the honest and independent labourer.—(Hear, bear.) He entreated them to unite to the utmost of their power to preserre them from difficulty and distress; and, above all, as they valued the old English character, he besought them to pro ect the labourer from the refuge of the workhouse. The feelings which the company had just given ut terance to on this subject would, he was sure, elicit corresponding feelings of kindness, and good-will in other parts of the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) He had now only to express his earnest hope that he might meet them there again in the coming year united as they were now heart and soul in the cause of the country, and in the cause of the British agriculturists ; for, if he mistook not, the opinions which he held to night were the opinions entertained by that numerous assembly. The Noble Duke having again thanked the company for the compliment they had paid him, resumed his rest, amidst4loud cheers. The Rev. B. HILL rose to propose the next toast, which was " The Health of the County Members." In doing so, he said there were t wo reasons w h y h e should abstain from saying anything in 'reference to their conduct on the present occasion. The first was because they were not present to answer anything that might be said ; and the next was, that the Company, as practical men, were better able to judge than he was of the line of conduct which they had pursued with regard to the interests of „the agriculturists of that county. He would, however, say that, whatever difference of opinion with regard to th e ir con d uc t _ (From the Leeds Mercury.) The following letter was received from Earl Fitzwilliam, in reply to an invitation to attend the Leeds Anti-Corn-law Soiree : it unfortunately ar rived too late to be read at the meeting : " Milton, Dec. 5, 1842. " My dear Sir,—Saturday having been entirely occupied with public business, this is the first oppor tunity I have had of answering your letter, and of expressing how much I feel honoured by the invita tion to the intended meeting, which I would certainly have attended if I had been at Wentworth. You are probably aware that I consider corn as fit as any other article of import to contribute to the national revenue, by a uniforth duty levied for that purpose; but this is perfectly consistent (and is so considered by foreign countries) with the most complete freedom of trade. Such a duty is no more in contraversion of free trade, than the tolls or rates paid by navi gators, or passengers to the Aire and Calder Naviga tion, or to the North Midland Railway. It is, in truth, a payment of precisely the same character, viz., for the maintenance of the establishment, and for the interest of the debt, of the community. I insist the more strongly upon this, because I observe that some persons hold that there is something peculiar about corn which gives it a claim to exemption from contributions to public revenue. This I conceive to be a mistake. Another mistake is to suppose that there are certain manufactures so important that they ought to be protected by duty—this is the landowners' mistake applied to other purposes, and must be MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—A crowded meeting of the members of the League took place last night in the Picture Gallery, to learn the progress of the great fund, 'and to hear addresses from H. Mars land, Esq., M.P. for Stockport, Col. Thompson, Jas. Wilson, Esq., of London, and the Rev. F. Bishop, of Warrington. The CHAIRMAN opened the meeting, when •Mr. HICIUN , Secretary to the League, read a let- ter, giving the names of - upwards of 80 towns and bo roughs which had made fresh or further applications for cards ; also a list of further subscriptions. From Stockport sheets had been returned containing 308 names, making 2,371 nathes registered . there—(Ap plause)—and 41. Os: 2fd. had been received from that town for registration fees, making altogether 321. Os., the greater part of which sum had been contributed in pennies. —(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then introduced Mr. JAMES. WrLsoN . (of London), who congratu- BUCKINGHAMSHIRE CONSER V A TIME DINNER. SPLIT IN THE TORY CAMP. lated the meeting that he saw so" many candidates flocking to their standard. The events of the last few weeks especially proved that the end of this law was approaching. HENRY MARSLAND, Esq., M.P.,. was then called.on, and was received with much applause. He said — Perhaps, Sir, very many of us who are here present have been theoretically convinced for a lengthened period of •the folly, injustice, and impolicy cf the Corn-laws ; but the practical experience which we have had for the last year or two must have given a vividness to our previous impressions. I am sure it has considerably swelled the number of converts to our ranks ; and I believe it has even shaken the faith of those who never previously doubted of the wisdom and the power of Parliament, nor con ceived that there could be a limit beyond which misery could not be quietly endured ; that there could be a point beyond which injustice could not with security be carried.—(Loud applause.) Sir, I know not whether you may have heard the descrip tion given of the population of Stockport by the As sistant Poor-law Commissioners, who were sent down to inquire into the distress ; but it is one of which a people may be justly proud. They, Sir, are described as a people possessing industrious habits of no com mon stamp, as possessing intelligence much in advance of other classes of the working people ; they are de scribed in the day of prosperity as taking advantage ofall provident . institntions ; in the day o f a d vers ity, struggling vigorously against poverty, resisting pau perism . to the utmost extent, seeking far and wide for employment, and willing to rely for a livelihood upon their own exertions, and upon nothing else.—(Cheers.) Sir, the Commissioners conclude that able Report with an earnest hope that something would be done for such a people by the Legislature; they pray that something might be done to relieve tle great distress which then existed. Sir, they know well the, merits of the people ;, they know well the distress of the. country ; but they littleknow the selfishness of those who have pledged themselves to previously declared ; opinions. —(Applause.) Sir, how changed is the scene ! a cloud has passed over,--a cloud not raised by the hand of God, but by the short-sighted policy of man.—(Hear, hear.) . Independence of character and self-reliance have, I am sorry to say, passed from very many of our population ; despair has crushed that energy which formerly bade them to depend upon themselves and lam afraid many have no feelings of shame at receiving parochial relief, since poverty has ceased to be - a 'crime,. and when a livelihood cannot be obtained by the sweat of the brow, and by honest industry.—(Hear, hear.) - - Colonel Tithairsort then rose, and addressed the meeting at great length.' He concluded an a bl e a d- dress as f o llows :—I was at' the siege of B o lto n —, (Hear, hear)—arid few sieges have there been where semuch Of distress was crowded into so small.a 'com pass. And all that, remember, was artificial ; it was not God's making : it was not Providence that did it ; it was all done that one-half the crust should be forced from the fainting Widow and her child, to give four horses to "those who have got two to their coach already._(Loud cheerS.) •If those men don't think better of it, if they don't think 'of Making a capitula tion in time, steie - z - v--sd o, -- th e risin g s pi r i t i n t h e country, their bl oo d be on their own heads and all the mischief that n i ay attend them.— (Cheers) There• has been no instance, that I know' 'of, in the history of mankind, saving, perhap s , the 'instance of negro slavery, in which so much'evil has been carried on for the mere sake of ac c umulating wealt h for those who scarcely wanted it.—(H ear, hear.)

Curious instances of that have I seen by this night's post. I'll read you a pas sage if you please, from the journals of one Of our greatest enemies.. And first I'll tell you the point on which he has consented to pit this quarrel. •I find it written • here—" Protection is defensible and laud• able, because it is promotive of the mostgeneral interest of all—the interest of those who are de pendent upon their industry for their daily bread. ff protection have not this merit, it has none." Now, Gentlemen, close upon this; join issue here. They have admitted that if prot e ct i on be not good for the industrious at large, it h as no mer it, 'and ought to be abolished. Now I will state to you, as lam sure you in general know already, that this plea, that pro tection is for the benefit of industry at large, is a mere quackery, a fraud, a d ecept i on , a d is h ones t wrong.—(Applause.) The secre t i s i n this. Pro tection is robbing one man for the benefit of another, turn and turn about, and throwing half the amount, at each part of the process, into the sea.—(Applause.)

In the first place, what was - taken from you could only be given to him. " Then," . says he, " there's the differen ce o f price." • Why, isn't that taken from the consumer ; and isn't it taken, a second time, from the honest trader, with whom the con sumer, in a state of freedom, laid it out ?—(Applause.)

The, time, I suspect, is approaching• when there will be something like a de mand throughout the country to know kow far the decision then apparently given by the community was The annual dinner of the Buckinghamshire Con servatiVe Association took place, on Thursday evening, at the Sun Hotel, Brill. The meeting, though fully attended by the farmers, was shorn of its " fair pro portions" by the absence of every member connected with the county. The Duke of Buckingham, with the exception of some of the neighbouring gentry, was the only person of political importance present. The chair was nceupled by J. Stone, Esq. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN gave "The health of the Queen," which was responded to amidst loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert ;"and afterwards " The health of the Prince of Wales," and " The . Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal family." The next toast was " The Army and Navy." Lieutenant SLEIGH briefly returned thanks. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said he rose with the permission of the chairman, to propose a toast which he was sure would meet with the approval and cheers of the company ; it was " The health of the Bishop and Clergy of the diocese ;"—(Cheers)—and attached, as all in that room were to the Protestant religion of this country, he had no doubt that they would hail the toast with enthusiasm.—(Cheers.) The Rev. GEORGE CHETWODE said, he rose with mingled feelings of regret and satisfaction, to acknow ledge the toast which had been proposed by the Noble Duke, and the very cordial manner in which it had been received by the company. He rose; he said, with feelings of regret, because the task had not fallen into abler hands, but with satisfaction, because in looking around him he saw a band of loyal men and true, who seemed determined - to support the Constitu tion in Church and State as it was now by law esta .blished.---(Loud cheers.) The Church of England was established and moulded up with the civil insti tutions of this country, and in their faithful and con - scientious discharge of i their many and important duties, the clergy had not only to inculcate the neces sity of .enforcing the laws of the Supreme Governor of the Universe, but also the laws of man, which were formed more for the prevention than the punishment of crime.—(Applause.) In the union of Church and State it was not sought to make the Church political, but the State religious. He would not trespass further on the attention of the company; but before he sat down, he. hoped they would allow him to pro poe the health of a Nobleman, for whom ,they all en tertained a most sincere regard.—(Cheers.) It would be useless fOr him to attempt 'to may any thing.' to' ele.. vate 'the high position . in 'Which the Noble Duke stood in the country, for, by doing so, he felt that he would only diminish the lustre which now so brightly shone around him.—(Cheers.) He proposed to them to drink, in a bumper, the " Health of his Grace the. Duke of .Buckingham."—The toast was drunk amidst loud cheers. equally guarded against. IT advert to it, because I know that last autumn (I mean 1841), Leeds was not quite prepared to adopt the principle of free trade throughout, and we also know that, at Lord Stanley's re, election, a Mr. Brookes held that certain branch of manufacture could not do without protection, and thereby gave Lord Stanley a great triumph. " Now, all these reservations must be cast away, and the principle acted upon without exception, and I trust that this .will be . the tone to-morrow--if it is not, the meeting.will do more harm than good, but I hope all will be well. " I beg to be believed, yours faithfully, It appears that the Noble Earl, if he had. been in Yorkshire, would have thought it his duty to attend the Leeds meeting, quite regardless of the obloquy that might have been cast upon him for co-operating with the Anti-Corn-law League. This is another proof of the high-minded disinterestedness and inde pendence of the Noble Earl, who has distinguished himself, not only among his order, but among his countrymen and his species, for chivalrous patriotism, superiority to prejudice, and zeal in the pursuit of duty. . Earl Fitzwilliam will be gratified to learn that no principle short.of perfect freedom of trade has been advocated in Leeds either at this meeting or at any other Anti-Corn-law meeting for several years. At some of these meetings all wish for protection to manufactures has been disclaimed_ in the most ex here might be, it was possible formen to act honestly thought perhaps not judiciously.—(Partial cheering.) The Duke of BUCKINGHAM proposed the health of ;he Chairman. press terms, and at other times the principles laid down clearly implied the same disclaimer. Not only is this the case in Leeds, but at the largest con ferences of the Anti-Corn-law League held in Man chester and London, resolutions to the same effect have been passed unttnimously. It is " with great diffidence that we express dissent from any opinion of Earl Fitzwilliam's on a subject which he has treated so ably and profoundly as he has .the Corn-law; but we confess that we do not agree with his Lordship in "considering corn as fit p as ur a p n o , yse.o , ther article of import to contribute to the national revenue by a customs duty levied for that It is indeed true, as•his Lordship argues, that a small fixed duty on corn imported,.for the pur pose of revenue only, ns " perfectly consistent (and is so considered by fcreign countries) with the most complete: freedom* of trade." But it remains to be considered whether it is consistent with the best prin ciple of taxatifm to levy a duty on the prime neces sary of life. It is generally admitted to be impolitic to tax the raw materials of manufactures; and the taxing of the chief article of daily food appears to us to be still more objectionable ; for that in reality con stitutes a raw material of man facture , and the neces sary support of all labour. There is, moreover, this peculiarity in the effect of taxing foreign corn, namely, that it raises the price not only of the corn imported, but also of all the home-grown corn. We know that this effect is doubted by some, who believe that the foreigner pays the duty, in a diminution of the profit which he would otherwise receive on the corn brought into this country. But we conceive that the effect of an import duty on foreign corn must be to diminish the quantity imported ;, and what , ever diminishes the quantity of an article in the market raises the price. It may not raise the price to the full extent of the duty, but it must raise the price in some degree, inasmuch as it contracts the power of importing corn with a profit, and thereby reduces the quantity actually importei. A fixed duty of 4s. per quarter, for example, would in many cases prevent the Dantzic, or Odessa, or New York corn-merchant from importing : it may turn the scale in many a calculation to the side of de , dining the venture. A duty of 2s. 6d., or even of ls., would operate in the same manner, though with proportionably . less force. Now it seems to us that whatever diminishes the supply, or raises the price 01 the chief article of human food, is an evil. Food can no more be too cheap than, the raw mates ials of manu factures can be too cheap. There ought, therefore ; to be no tax whatever on corn, end no species of limi tation on the supply from any quarter of the globe. If we are mistaken on the point in which we have ventured to differ from Earl Fitzwilliam, we shall be happy to be set right. The compliment was acknowledged by Mr. STONE ,n a few words. The health of the Duchess of Buckingham, of Sir Thomas Aubrey, the Lord of the 11Ianor, and of the Rev. Mr. Barron, were severally proposed and re sponded tb. • • • The Rev. Mr. BARRON in eloquent terms proposed ' the health of the Marquis - , of Chandos. He hoped that he would shortly see .him .placed in the position which, his noble father had so long occupied to the satisfaction of the constituency of the county of Buck ingham.—(Cheers.) The Duke of Buckingham acknowledged the toast, and said that his son was prevented from attending the meeting by his duties at the Oxford University. He looked forward with pleasure to the period when he would appear before them to solicit their suffrages to place him in the position which had been alluded 1 to by Mr. Hill. They would then be able to judge of his feelings and opinions, which he doubted not would meet with their approbation.—(Cheers.) The Rev. G. CISETWODE gave " The Health of the British farmer." He was sorry that a cloud was at present hanging over his interests, but he hoped that it would shortly vanish.—(Cheers.) Mr. E. STONE acknowledged the toast. While he said the British farmer could : findsuch good landlords, and such-kind, and consistent, and indefatigable friends as the Duke of Buckingham, they would have little to fear.—(Cheer3.) They would ever be found to stand up in support of order- and good government, and the promotion of peace and good will amongst all men.—(Cheers.) Several other local toasts were afterwards proposed and responded to, and the company separated at a late hour. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said he rose to return his warmest thanks for the kind' manner in which the company had received 'the toast which had been so favourably and so kindly proposed by his Reve rend Friend on his right. He felt deeply the com pliment that had been paid to him—(Cheers)—and he received those cheers as a token that he had not forfeited the good opinion which he held in their estimation.—(Loud cheers.) He deeply regretted that it was not in his power to meet them on the oc casion of their last anniversary, but the duties he had then to perform -prevented his attendance, and he was happy now in having an opportunity of being' once more amongst his friends in that part of the country.—(Cheers.) It was now, he believed, nearly six or seven years since they first began to assemble on that hill, and he was proud to think that from that time to the present their numbers had gone on increasing, and he was gratified to find, on this oc casion, so numerous and so highly respectable a company.—(Cheers.) Since he had last had the ho nour of being in that room, and seeing-around that table those old friends with whom he had always felt plea sure in associating, changes, and great changes, had occurred in this country ; and changes which deeply affected those interests in which they were themselves most deeply interested.—(Hear, hear.) The opinions which, as Member for this county, many years ago, and the opinions 'which, as an individual Peer, he had since given, were so well known to those present and to the country, that to repeat them on this occasion would, he feared, tire them, and take up more time than they were worth ; but at the same time he must be permitted to express, before this large assembly, his unaltered opinions with regard to those measures which had recently been passed affecting the agricul tural interests.—(Loud cheers.) Whatever changes of opinion might have overtaken some gentlemen on this subject,/ those changes of opinion had not altered his.—(Renewed cheering.) He gave his votes and he gave utterance to his opinions formerly as he did now, with the perfect conviction in his own mind that they were founded in honesty and truth.—(Great cheering.) He had thought it his duty many years ago to record those opinions, because then, as now, he took an active part in doing whatever he humbly could do to further the objects of the British agricul turists. Those opinions remained firm and unchanged.= STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury.) FOREIGN WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, DEC. 9.—About an average amount of business has been transacted in most.descriptions of foreign wool during the past week, and prices are firmly maintained. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS , Dec. 9.—Sales of wool, during the present week, have been mode • rately extensively; and prices of both combing and clothing wools may be quoted a shade higher. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 9.—We have had very few buyers in the market this week for any description of wools, and few and limited the sales that have been effected. Stocks, especially in comb ing wools, are proportionably light, and the market is firm at the prices of last week. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The current demand'for pieces to-day is chiefly in Merinos, Or leans, and other plain fabrics, which are not held in average quantities of former years ; and the manufac turers are not without hopes of realising advanced prices on the rates now current. The fancy trade still admits of no real improvement ; although more inquiry has been 'made for Parisians, the prices offered are such as to tend only to throw the Jacquard ma chine into total disuse. 'The advanced rates demanded for wool causes the spinners to seek a corresponding increase on the price of yarn, at which the inanufac turers appear very shy, knowing that they are the only buyers at this season, the shippers being comparatively Out of the market; that hardly an average business has been done, though the buyers are more free to pur chase at old rates, which the spinner finds it impos sible to comply with. During the week there is quite a new feature in the wool trade, a spirited demand having sprung up. The recent sales in London, of colonial and other wools, having found buyers at ad vanced rates, has inspired a confidence among the holders of English wools ; and the result is, that higher prices have been demanded by both growers and dealers, which have been acceded to by the buyers. The stocks in this and neighbouring mar kets (which were barely an average) are very con siderably reduced, and of such qualities as are gene rally in request, the supply is very deficient. The late advance in noils and brokes is fully supported. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.— The market on Tuesday W 33 very firm, at the previous advance, and has since so continued. This is the more encouraging, as the commercial amounts from India, by the late mail, are not over flattering ; in deed, so far as the sale of prints at Calcutta and Bom bay is any criterion, prices were never lower. Still these accounts have not in the least operated on the market for cloth and twist, and both articles are quite firm, with a large business doing. There appears to be a full demand for yarns, though the principal shippers are not exporting anything at the present moment ;—a decidedly healthy appearance., those opinions remained unaltered, and he looked back with regret, and deep regret, to the passing of the New Corn-bill and the tariff.--(Loud cheers.) They were measures which he looked upon as being hostile and dangerous to the interests of the farmer.—(Cheers.) Having so recorded his opinions, and having again expressed them in the same shape and language which he had previously done, he would not detain them on that subject one moment longer than to express an earnest hope that those changes might be found bene ficial ; but at the same time, he had in his own mind a conviction that those changes of opinion which some persons had recently undergone; might eventually lead to changes of opinion back again, and that those who were now opposed to might be found to come back and again support him in the principles which he advocated.—(Loud cheers.) For his own part, he would rather stand alone in the wide world honestly s and conscientiously maintaining opinions which he believed in his soul and heart to be correct, than to those opinions for any honour or recom pense the world could offer.—(Loud cheers.) At tached as he was, and as h e w as . sure all those around him were in heart and soul to their Sovereign, and to their country, they could have but one common in terest ; and lie prayed that God might pour down blessings on her and on this happy land.—(Applause.) Might he ever find Englishmen free, happy, and prosperous, and might they live long under the happy sway of their So vere i gn L a dy, w h o ru l e d an d reigned in the hearts of all' her subjects.—(Cheers.) It was with feelings of no ordinary pride that he said, that in no part of these dominions would be found a more loyal or more devoted band of men to rally round their Sovereign, than those who lived on the hills of this county.—(Cheers.) Yes, he would venture proudly to say, that they would never be found back ward in attachment to their Queen.—(Renewed cheering.) He could not'disguise from them the feel ings of deep regard which he entertained for this town and neighbourhood, and he could assure them that this had been to him a welcome day, because it had given him an opportunity of again seeing those whom he had not now so often the pleasure of meeting as formerly; and he was glad, to feel and to see although more removed from their neighbourhood, the warmth of feeling with which he had been to-day received.—(Cheers.) Their reception of him con vinced him that he had not suffered in their estima tion—(Cheers)—it convinced him that he had not forfeited their good opinion —(Renewed cheering)-- and that he might still look to the company and to that neighbourhood for those friendly feelings of re gard and goo 1-will which they had for many years continued to shower down on him, and which he hoped would follow him to the grave.—(Cheers.) On personal topics he would no longer dwell. He thought it due to the worthy Chairman as one who had al ways taken an active interest in the welfare of the farmers and in all agricultural matters, and to the present company, that he should freely and unre servedly express and repeat, over and over again , his opinions, in order that whatever mistakes might be made in these times with regard to the opinions of some gentlemen in this county, there might be no NEW CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—It is reported that a new Central Criminal Court is to be erected o n the site of the Fleet Prison.

NEWBURY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9.—This morn ing at eleven o'clock a commission de lunatico inquirendo was opened in conformity with the terms of the Act passed in the last session of Par liament, before Mr. Commissioner Winslow, at the George Inn, in this town, to inquire into the state of mind and the capacity to manage and conduct her own affairs of Miss Mary Jones, a maiden lady, aged 42 years of age, who it was stated was possessed of property of not less value than - 20,000/. The case excited considerable interest in the town and neigh bourhood. Mr. Montagu Smith, the barrister, appeared in support of the commission, which was unopposed en the part of the unfortunate subject of the inquiry. Of 24 gentlemen who had been summoned to serve upon the Jury, the fo :—Mr. following 15 sa s n . sw G e a re le d , th forem the a ir n am m e r. s, and weresworn Hall, Mr. Seymour, Mr. Darling, Mr. Goddard, Mr. Herbert, Mr. Austin, Mr. James Tanner, Mr. Richard Lovelock, Mr. Forster, Mr. Woodruffo, Mr. Thatcher, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Greaves, and Mr. Mills. The Learned COMMISSIONER, in opening the pro ceedings to the Jury, stated that under the recent statute it was provided that the individual to whom the incapacity of lunacy was sought to be attached by an inquiry of this character had a right to be present during the examination of all the witn esses w h o m i g h t be called. With this view he desired that Miss Jones should be introduced. The unfortunate lady was accordingly conducted into pe ar a t n h c e e r , o . a o n m d . m S a h n e i fe p s presented a t a s e v l e f - r p y o s l s a e d s s y .i l o i n k . e aop n s t h ak e in w g as h m er dr s e e s a s t ea n b ea y r hi t m o t as he ~L m ie as sr nej d o nC e o s m , ,,m t i o s sw i oh n i e c r h , she immediately replied, z " No, rto, not Miss Jones, but Mrs. Alth orp ; thus exhibiting the delusion under which she laboured—namely, that of imagin ing she was a. married woman. In answer to que3- tions put to her by the Learned Commissioner, she hi i ie t a ia : a , l a nd y y , t hoaebnj nature ac t t t t h i ior a ne t replied, that she had been married in the heavenly hut that the Almighty bower ; that the house she had lived in was her own, Miss Jones had departed in the year 1824, and that had tak sl eW le n to make to it, she replied, " Oh, no ; all or none ; all or none." o sh f e th w e a i s nq n u o i w ry, ll a l n rs d . a.,Alteh(oirpif. Mr. M. Smith, in opening the case to the Jury, detailed various acts which exhibited the existence of manifest delusion in the mind of the unfortunate lady, especially that which had been shown to the Jury by the examination of Miss Jones herself, viz., the delu sion that she was a married woman. 1 The evidence which was adduced in support of the Commission went back as far as the year 1831, and was given by Miss Clarke and Miss Baskerville, in whose scholastic establishments Miss Jones had been educated ; by Milt. Baggs, in whose care she had been for a number of years ; by Mr. Stephen Hem stead, surgeon of this town ; and by Dr. Monro. During the examination of Mrs. Beggs, the object of the inquiry anticipated that lady's answer to every question propounded, either by the Learned Commis sioner or by the Court, and manifested an astuteness and shrewdness that surprised all the Court. So much did it interfere with the witnesss's self-possession that she appealed to the Court. and stated it would be impossible for her to go on in Miss Jones's presence, as all she said she should hear of from her again. By direc tion of the Court Miss Jones was removed in the care of Mr. Hemstead, and the evidence of Mrs. Baggs, which went to make the case beyond doubt, was completed. On the close of the examination of all the witnesses, Miss Jones was re-introduced, and the evidence which had been taken was carefully and minutely read over to her. The only reply she made was a repetition of the expression " All or none." After her again re tiring from the Court, The Learned COMMISSIONER observed, that the case was so clear, not only from the evidence which had been adduced in support of the Commission, but from the conduct and demeanour of the unfortunate lady herself before the Court, that it was scarcely ne cessary for him to address or recapitulate the evidence to the intelligent gentlemen who composed the Jury. With them, however, the verdict rested. The Jury, aftey t very brief consultation, returned THE SMITHFIELD 'CLUB. The forty-second Anniversary of the above Society was held on Friday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, Earl Spencer in the chair. The attendance, although not so numerous as on some former occasions, included a large number of noblemen and gentlemen, well krus,wn as experimental agriculturists. Among those present were—His Grace the Duke of Richmond, Lord • DuciSi, Lord Mont eagle, the Hon. Messr s . Ly n ii ng t on , N ugent, Wil son, Hon:Captain Spencer; Messrs. Pusey, M.P., Benett, M.P., Colonel Wood, of Littleton, &c., &c. The cloth ha v i ng b een removed, the' usual loyal toasts were drank with all the honours, after which The CHAIRMAN said the exhibition . for the present year was better than any he recolleccted. The number of animals was greater than usual, although some were certainly of an inferior description. He had no hesitation in saying, that he remembered shows in Smithfield in which the chief prizes would have been carried off by third-rate animals in the present exhibition. The size of the animal was not the only thing to be looked to—the supply of the market with the cheapeit and best meat was the main object.—(Hear, hear) It was a mistake for persons to inquire " What is the use of bringing such ex tremely fat animals to market ?" They were a test'af what could be done with that particular class of oxen with ordinary feeding. There were animals which he would defy any grazier in England to render pro fitable, either to themselves or the butcher. The Noble Lord, in conclusion, proposed " Success to the Smithfield Club." The toast was responded to with immense applause. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to distribute the various prizes awarded by the judges, and severally proposed the health of the successful competitors in each class, most of whom returned thanks. The Duke of RICHMOND then rose to propose, "The health of the Chairman of the Smithfield Club," and .said, that when their Society was at its lowest ebb, the Noble Lord had come forward, and by his influ ence and example amongst the agriculturists had led them to see the great importance of this Association to the country. The Noble Lord was a practical agriculturist, and, what in his opinion was far more valuable, an honest and honourable man.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with three times three, and one cheer more. The CHAIRMAN said he had always considered it of the greatest importance to the welfare of the country, that Associations like that which they were assembled to support should flourish, and, therefore, he had felt it a duty at the period to which the Noble Duke alluded to accept the office of President of their Society.. Undoubtedly, one motive which had actuated him was his attachment to agricultural pur suits. He thought the discussion of practical topics among farmers was of great importance, and he had always done his best to promote it. It was gratifying to find that the Society had been progressively im proving year after year. Formerly they had to de pend on casual receipts for the prizes of the following year, but now they were always in advance. He could say for himself, that so long as he had health end strength, he would always devote himself to their service. It was true that he was not getting younger, and must look forward to a diminution of vigour • but as long as he could exert hims e lf i n th e i r behalf he would do so. He considered it the duty of every farmer in the country to visit their annual exhibition, in order that they might learn the most useful breeds of cattle. He could answer for one, that graziers often thought their cattle very good until they saw the animals against which they had to compete. He was satisfied with the decisions, although he should cer tainly have - preferred being a successful candidate him self.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord th an k e d the meet ing for the enthusiasm with which they had received his health ; and subsequently, in an eloquent address, proposTilp " The Health of the Duke of Richmond," which was drunk with great applause. The Duke.of RICHMOND begged to thank them for the kind manner in which his name had been received. It was true that on the present occasion he was an unsuccessful candidate ; but he bowed with the greatest deference to the opinion of the jtidges, who had a most arduous and difficult task to perform. He thought he had good sheep, and he had•brought the best of his flock ; but, notwithStanding this, he had been unsuc cessful. It was by the friendly conflict excited by the Society that ithad become so flourishing. Its mem bers were distributed all over the country, and were. men whose grand principle was the improvement of agriculture. Among the numerous advantages Which have resulted to the country by the establishment of agricultural societies, one of the most prom bent was, the union which it brought about betwe•S landlord and tenant; and, for himself, he had always thought that where the interests of the two classes were one and the same, it never could be intended that th ey should be other than the firmest friends. Men in every situation of life had certain dties to perform for which they were responsible to their fellow men, and also to the great Creator of the universe; and ho knew of none more important to an Englishman than that of improving to the utmost of his power the agri culture of the country, upon which was based the welfare and independence of millions of our teflon,- subjects. There was a duty which the landowner owed to his country, and that was to promote the comfort and prosperity of his tenantry. He would say that no man could be more anxious to promote improved agriculture than he was,. and he should ever be ready to lend his aid in the - service.of the Society. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Honorary Secretary, Mr. Humphrey Gibbs, who fe turned thanks in an eloquent and appropriate address. The Duke of RICHMOND proposed the health of Earl Ducie, who was both a farmer' and a manufac turer. He trusted the Noble Earl would never forget when he was selling his agricultural implements that he was also a practical farmer.—(Laughter.) pet a i n ti d o , n Earl DIXIE said the Noble Duke had alluded to him in the twofold capacity of manufacturer and agri culturist. In reply to the observation he could only in wouldreduce sa y, eat we manufacturers must live as well as tre thefa pr s io . • H of e all trus i ted nanu th fa a c t t c u o re m s thanked the meeting for the honourmanufactures, and, they had conclusion, con ferred upon him. ~ The CHAIRMAN next gave, '"The Earl of Hard wicke and the Royal English Agricultural Society." " Success to the manufactures and commerce of the country," was then given, and succeeded by several other appropriate toasts, after which the meeting se parated. STATE OF TRADE—LIVERPOOL.—MOney is rather more in demand. During the last month about 500,000, sovereigns have been shipped to the United States, at the same time gold has arrived in mode rate quantities from the Continent. There has not been much business done in the corn market, and prices have not varied. The superabundant crop, and heavy stocks at home, keep the markets well supplied with cotton, the demand remaining very moderate, and prices much the same, but if any change, more in favour of the buyer. In Manchester the demand for goods and yarns is greater than the supply, higher prices are asked, which has prevented an extensive business being done. Several mills have been re. opened, and constant employ for the operatives during the winter is now certain. In colonial and foreign produce there is a fair, steady demand, and sales are made with more facility. It is gratifying to observe an increased bustle, just now, about our docks and mercantile warehouses. demanded, tllat t p ha eae t e h a s e r l e r nc es : e . n e d , : t THE INCOME-TAX.—But now what is to become of the war-taro When Sir Ro tbaexrtwawas Peel a was a t r o - l t d a xi he hee boldly last session at war with India and China!'

The deficiency in the revenue m the years 1840 and 1841, was greatly caused by the advances for Canada, China, and India. These were occasional and not permanent causes, and are now at an end. Besides, the remain ing deficiency is more than made up by the duties upon corn, and the other articles of import now first admitted b v the tariff. There is no longer a single excuse, then, for keeping up this iniquitous war-tax. Let the people, then, arouse themselves, and peti tion for relief from that most obnoxious measure, which is doubly onerous by drying up the other re sources of the c ountry. Down, then, we say, with the war-tax, the inquisition-tax, the tax upon freedom. If any portion of it should be found really neces sary, let them keep up the impost upon real property. But let them loosen their grasp from the trading and professional classes.—Hampshire Independent. CONTRIBUTION OF LIVERPOOL TO THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND.—We are happy to hear that the mere announcement by the League of their wish to raise so large a sum as .50,0(A., has been enthusi astically responded to from all ports of the kingdom, and yet one alloy to our gratification, we must con fess, is the fact, that Liverpool has only, so far, con tributed twelve hundred pounds—an amount less than the sum coll ec t e d i n Huddersfield !Liverpool Mercury.
