Simpkins, def . uru-street, and living at 55, Star-street, said that "d ant was out of work the greater part of last winter, and he (witness) took him into his house from pure charity, and lodged him. He observed, how ever, that the prisoner and his wife appeared rather familiar, and he (witness) ordered him to leave the house. Shortly after his Wife absconded, and he sub sequently ascertained that she was living with the prisoner. She soon however, got tired of the infamous connexion, and witness, at his master's intercession, and on her promise of amendment, took her back again. Since that time the prisoner has been in the habit of calling at witness's house and annoying him. He also renewed his former attentions to witness's wife, and she left a second time, and was now living with her paramour in 55, Devonshire street. Yesterday evening the prisoner came to his house, and created a disturbance, calling him an old rogue, and threatening to knock his head off. Mr. RAWLINSON fined the prisoner 405., and ordered him to enter into recognisances of 201. to keep the peace for six months. UNION HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Two men, named John Lowden and James Murphy, one a carpenter, and the other a corn-porter, were charged with committing an outrageous assault on policeman 156 M division. The policeman while on duty the preceding night, in Bermondsey, went up to the defendants, who were making a noise outside the door of a public house, and requested them to go away. Instead, however, of doing so, they commenced an attack on the policeman, knocked him down, and kicked him in the most brutal manner while he was down, and it was sworn that had not two other policemen come up at the moment, the man's life would probably have been sacrificed. Mr. COTTINGHAM, instead of inflicting a fine on the defendants, committed them forthwith for one month each to Brixton gaol. MONEY and COMMEItCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool was dull yes terday, the sales being only 3,500 bales, at previous quotations, viz. :-500 Surats, at 50. to 40. ; 80 Pernams, at bid. to 7d. ; 60 Maranhams, at 50. to 6d. ; 50 Bahias, at 61d. ; 80 Smyrnas, at 50. • and 2,730 bales American at 4d. to 50. per lb.—ln the Railway Share market there was a good demand for Liverpool and Manchester, but very little doing in any others. Edinburgh and Glasgow were 47 ; Great Western Halves, 61 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 180 ; Birmingham New, 304 ; Brighton, 35+ ; South Western, 59i ; and South Eastern New, 174. Advices have come to hand from Sydney to the 18th of June, which are of a more satisfactory character than those received for some time past. The number of vessels arriving from England was ex ceedingly limited, and this had assisted the markets for imported goods, and especially for manu factures, of which there had been such a glut. The prices of manufactures were generally higher. Wheat and Flour were a150..-looking up, the latter being at 20s. to 21s. for fine. In Tea and Sugar there had been a large business done. It is highly satisfactory to notice the fact of the large number of immigrants who reached Sydney last year, amounting to 23,200 persons, having all found ready employment generally within ten days of their landing, and their rapid distribution is cited as a proof of the ability of the country to sup port a steady and important influx of emi grants. There is, however, another circumstance which it is particularly desirable should be extensively made known throughout the United Kingdom. For male persons of a superior description, particularly com mercial clerks and overseers, there is no demand, and such persons are subjected to great privations, as well as to great disappointment, on their arrival. There is generally a superabundance of these. In the official report of the Colonial Government upon the subject of immigration, it is stated that the number of persons arrived out ast year was 23,200, of whom 19,523 were sent out under the bounty system. This gave partial employment to 101 ships of 36,170 tons. In 1840 only 7,000 persons arrived out. From the Mauritius we have papers of August 18, and the most interesting item of news is the fact of the Legislative Assemly having voted a loan of 60,0001. from the Government treasury to the colony, on the security of the banks, chiefly we infer, for the promotion of immigration. The repayments are to be made monthly, by bills drawn on England. As respects the immigration of the Hill Coolies from India, it had been decided that the Governor of India should appoint the protectors to reside in the Mau ritius, and superintend the kind treatment of the immigrants. Stocks are quiet, but steady. The only feature is another small purchase by the Commissioner. Con sols are 94 to 94f, both for Money and the 24th inst. Exchequer Bills are 58s. to 60s. premium. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been a shade loWer, being now 1014 to 1014. Bank Stock has receded to 172 i and 1714 ; and India Stock is not quite so buoyant at •261 f to 261. In the Foreign Market business has been chiefly limited to the settlement of the Account, which is not of magnitude. Mexican Bonds are still rather fiat at 324 to 33 ; Brazilian keep firm at 65 ; Belgian at 102 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents at 524 to 524. Portuguese New Five per Cents. have touched 384 4, but the Converted are not higher than 324 I. Spanish Actives are 18, and the Thre per Cents. 22. In Railway Shares there have not been half a dozen bargains, and it is difficult to give the tone of the market, which seems, however,' pretty steady. PRICES OP SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. R A ILWATS.

In the Evening Edition of The Stan of yesterday we gave an account of the melancl -2.01 y wreck of the Reliance, East Indiaman, off the coast of Boulogne, in which it was stated that only- ten persons were saved. We regret to add that, ace ording to the return made to Lloyd's, only six persoi is out of 116 were saved. We have received no p articulars respecting this melancholy event, but it is extremely probable that the vessel had come up the Channel without a pilot owing to the violence of the storm on Saturday night, and the Captain being ignorant of the dangerous coast had kept near the French land fer shelter, as the wind was from the south-west, and ran the vessel upon a reef of rocks, which extends for several miles to the north-east of Boulogne. On these rocks the Amphitrite, a convict ship, was lost eight years ago, when all on board, with the exception of one or two seamen, were lost. No blame can be at tached to the French authorities at Boulogne for not rendering assistance, as the coast is so dangerous, and the wind blowing from that quarter is so strong that even the hardiest seaman in England would have been deterred from going out on such an occasion to rescue the sufferers. For three or four miles on each side of Boulogne there are sunken, rocks, and even at low water they are hardly perceptible. The Captain of the Reliance evidently was una ware of the danger ous coast, for, the wind coming from a contrary di rection, he was not compelled to steer in that direc tion. The vessel was homeward bound with a cargo of 20,000 chests of tea. But what is the value of this cargo, or the loss to the. insurance offices, compared with the distress which this dreadful calamity must spread over the country ? One hundred and ten per sons have perished, and among them, no doubt, are many officers on leave of absence, or adventurers, who had made their fortune in India, and when within sight of their native land, and anxiously looking for ward to a happy meeting with their old friends, have thus miserably perished. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS RECEIVED ' THIS DAY. The following letters have been received at Lloyd's, from their agent at Boulogne, Sur Hier, Nov. 12, 1842. To William Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. Sir,—lt is our painful duty to apprise you of the total loss of the Reliance, 1,500 tons burthen, Thomas Green, Commander, which vessel came on the coast of Merlemont last night, and went to pieces this morn ing : she left Canton on the 7th May, with a cargo of teas. We regret to add that only about eight or ten persons out of 122, composing the crew and passengers, have been saved. The, last express we received from the coast does not give much information respecting the survivors ; we only know that the ship's carpenter is saved, and it is from him that the ship's name was ascertained. The other survivors are men of colour. The English Consll has just gone round to the spot. The number of persons on board was-75 Englishmen, 27 Chinese, and 20 Dutchmen ; total 122. Nov. 13.—8 y advices just received from the coast we are informed that the names of the survivors are Robert Dixon, the carpenter, W. O'Neill, of Kingstown, Ireland, Johan Anderson, of Laurvig, Norway—Charles Butts, of Dantzic, and three Malays. The body of Captain Green has been identified by the carpenter, also that of the fourth mate Griffin, and a seaman. Their remains will be conveyed here, where they will receive the rites of Christian burial. Captain Tucker, late Commander of her Majesty's ship Iris, is among the drowned. Everything has been done for the benefit of the owners of the vessel. The services received from the horse soldiers is in every way efficient.—We are, &c., (Signed) A. ADAMS, and CO. [We understand that Griffin, who was the fourth mate, would have succeeded to a property of 10,0001. by the dm we of his mother. She had for some time been anxiously looking for his arrival, but died about eight days ago. One of the survivors states that Captain Green, who was an experi enced seaman, mistook the French lights on the coast for some others, as one of them had been changed since he left England, about twelve months ago.] THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS. SMITHFIELD.---Coarse meadow hay, 31 to 3/ 15s ; useful ditto, 4/ to 4/ 4s ; fine upland ditto, 41 5s to 4/ lOs ; clover hay, 41 5s to 51 10s ; oat straw, 1/ 16s to it 18s; wheat straw, 11 18s to 2/ is per load. Trade excessivelyheavy, at barely last week's quotations. CUMBERLAND.—Coarse meadow hay, 3/ 5s to 4/; useful ditto, 414 s to 41 8s ; fine upland ditto, 4/ 10s to 4/ 14s ; clover hay, 4/ 5s to Si lOs ; oat straw, 11 18s to 2/ ; wheat straw, 21 to 2/ 2s per load. A moderate supply, and a very dull trade. Prices as above quoted. WinTEcnerm..—Coarse meadow hay, 3/ to 41; useful ditto, 4l 4s to 4/ 6s ; fine upland ditto, 41 Bs' to 4l lOs ; clover hay, 4/ lOs to 51 15s ; oat straw, 1/ 16s to 1/ 18s; wheat straw, 1/ 18s to 2/ per load. Supply good, and trade dull, at, in some instances, drooping currencies. COLONIAL. SUGAR.--The market for British Plantation con tinues heavy, barely 500 hhds. having found buyers, inclusive of those by auction, and former prices were scarcely supported. The public sales have contained 138 casks 166 barrels St. Lucia, 4,000 bags Bengal, 423 hhds Porto Rico, and 81 baskets Java. The greater part of the St. Lucia was sold, but went off without spirit at 55s 6d to 64s Gd for good brown to fine greyish yellow, being in some instances cheaper. Nearly the whole of the Bengal was offered in bond, and mostly taken in at a decline of fully is and 2s, the trade refusing to pur chase even at that reduction ; a small portion sold (duty paid) brought comparatively higher rates. The Java found ready buyers (for export) at 18s to 18s 6d for low and mid yellow of mid quality, which is the extreme value. Privately no trans actions have taken place worth reporting, with the exception of 60 chests brown and yel low Pernambuco, which have been sold at 17s, and 400 bags ord brown Batavia at 15s to 15s 6d, which are again rather higher prices. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week in the East and West India Docks, was 352 hhds, 13 tierces, 4 bar rels, and there were taken for home consumption 1,471 hhds, 155 tierces, 264 barrels. The stock in the same places is 16,452 hhd5,2,009 tierces ' 1,775 barrels. COFFEE.-907 bags Ceylon, and 597 bags East India at auction were all taken in (with the exception of about 100 bags ord Ceylonjwhich sold at 535), good ord mixed Batavia at 31s 6d, and very ord ditto at 21s to 255. ITEA.—There is more firmness in this market, owing to the large quantity lost on board the Reli ance off Boulogne. The public sales have been postponed till the 21st inst., Ruat.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 362 puns 262 hhds ; there were taken for home consumption 282 puns 35 hhds, and exported 96 puns 34 hhds. The stock in the same places is 14,692 puns 3,682 hhds. RICE.-1,357 bags and 1,062 packets Bengal were offered by auction ; the bags were disposed of at 10s 6d, two lots lls for mid and good white ; the packets were taken in above the value, viz., at 11s 6d for good mid white. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is dull, and prices are barely supported. The quotation is now about 48s 3d to 48s 6d per cwt on the spot. Town is 51s 6d per cwt. COTTON is firm, sales 500 bales. PROVISIONS.—Bacon is 3s. to 4s. lower, and Butter is heavy. MARRIAGE.—On Tuesday, the 15th, at Braunston, Northamptonshire, by the Rev. J. Jenkins, Lieutenant Henry Arnold, 161., son of George Henry Arnold, Esq., of Ashby Lodge, to Catherine, second daughter of It. Lambe, Esq., of Bragborough, in the same county. WooLwicu, Nov. 14.—The Dee, steam troop ship, Master Commander Thomas Driver (and not Master Commander Thomas Laen, as was inadvert ently substituted in the last notice of this vessel), which left Woolwich on the Ist instant, with two com panies of the Royal Artillery for Barbadoes, reached Falmouth, and sailed from that port on the 10th for her destination. The Naval and Military Gazette, of Saturday last contains the fol lowing under the head of Woolwich, Nov. 4:— " This morning a Court-martial was held on board the William and Mary Royal yacht, on a sailor of the Dee steamer, for threatening to take the life of one of the Lieutenants of that vessel. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for life." The preceding paragraph is incorrect in every parti cular, the Dee having sailed from Woolwich three days previous to the date given ; and it has been as • certained from the most undoubted authority that no Court-martial has been recently held on board of the William and Mary royal yacht, or on board any other vessel in the harbour of 'Woolwich. The Rhada manthus, steam troop-ship, Master Commander Thomas Laen, is expected to sail from Woolwich about the 27th inst., for the Mediterranean, and will take out two companies of the Royal Artillery to Corfu. Orders were received in the garrison last night for the companies to hold themselves in readi ness for embarkation. THE ARCHDUKE OF AUSTRIA.--HIS Imperial Highness the Archduke of Austria, attended by his suite, visited Beard's photographic portrait rooms, at the Royal Polytechnic Institution yesterday, and honoured Mr. Beard by sitting for his portrait. Se veral gentlemen of the suite also sat, and his Highness expressed himself much pleased with the process, and the accuracy of the likenesses. The Marquis of Sligo, who has been alarmingly indisposed at Westport House, is, we are happy to hear, out of danger. His Lordship underwent a painful operation on Thursday last, and his Lordship, when his medical attendants left him, was doing as well as possible. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO WALMER CASTLE. WALMER, MONDAY.--Last night, about eight o'clock, the wind shifted into the west-north-west, and in the course of the night the sea became calm. Her Majesty has to-day enjoyed the magnificent sight of upwards of a hundred sail in the Downs lying at anchor. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert walked on the beach for a considerable time in the morning, and the Royal children were taken out by their nurses and attendants. At twelve o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert went on board the Thunderer, being steered by Capt. Westbrook, - in his galley. His Royal Highness was attended ,by Colonel Wylde and Dr. Pretorious, and remained on board nearly an hour, inspecting the beautiful arrangements of the vessel, with which his Royal Highness expressed himself highly delighted. His Royal Highness's visit was un expected, and Captain Pring and Captain Bullock, who were ashore, immediately put off to meet the Prince. His Royal Highness, on landing, was saluted by Sir William Curtis's yacht, which was anchored off the Castle. The Government steamer, Fearless, Captain Bullock, which is also stationed in a line with the Thunderer, dressed her colours. To-morrow, if the weather continues fine, it is ex pected his Royal Highness Prince Albert will accom pany Captain Bullock to the Goodwin Sands, for the purpose of inspecting the safety beacon, erected by the Gallant Captain, about two years ago. This afternoon, at half-past one o'clock, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Hon. Mrs. Anson, left the Castle in a carriage and four, and proceeded to Dover Castle. Lord C. Wellesley and - Colonel Wylde, the Equerries, were in attendance on horseback. The Q ueen an d th e Prince were received at the Castle by Colonel Jenkinson, Governor, and a guard of honour, composed of the 19th Foot. The Royal party, after remaining at the Castle upwards of three-quarters of an hour, inspect ing every object of interest, proceeded to Dover, driving through the principal streets to the beach, and returning to Walmer at a quarter past four o'clock. Both sides of the road from the Castle to the town were lined with people, and the streets through which the Royal corte'e passed were densely crowded. On going and returning her Majesty was greeted with a right loyal and hearty welcome. In addition to the Royal suite, Lord and Lady Ma hon, and Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, will have the honour of joining the Royal di nne r circle. The following letter has been received by Mr. Ledge; in answer to an official communication made by him on the part of the Dover authorities, respect ing the receiving of an address from that port, and also as to whether her Majesty intended to honour Dover with a visit, during her Majesty's stay at Walmer Castle : " Walmer Castle, Nov. 11. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant, and in reply beg to inform you, that any addresses that you may wish to have presented to her Majesty during her stay at Walmer Castle, you will have the goodness to forward to me, as her Majesty's visit here being entirely of a private nature, it is not her Majesty's wish to receive any addresses personally or publicly. " I am not aware whether her Majesty will visit the town of Dover or not.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) " SYDNEY, Lord in Waiting. " To G. W. Ledger, Esq., Dover." Respecting the fate of the galley which was ob served from the coast suddenly to disappear, just as she had reached the Lisbon steamer, at the time of the heavy gale yesterday afternoon, and about which her Majesty was most anxious in her inquiries, about seven o'clock the welcome news arrived that every man had been picked up, through the activity and praise-worthy conduct of those on board the steamer. The news was instantly conveyed to Walmer Castle. DOVER. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) NOVEMBER 14.—filer Majesty the Queen and Prince Albert arrived at Dover Castle at three o'clock this afternoon, and partook of a dejeuner in the apartments of the Lieutenant-Governor, R. H. Jen kinson, Esq. Afterwards they inspected the Castle, and drove through the town, returning by the Water loo-crescent and the Marine Parade, escorted by our Member (Mr. Rice) and some of the military autho rities. The Queen looked in excellent health and spirits, and must have been much gr a tifi e d b ir th e very cordial and loyal reception she experienced from her subjects at Dover. A Royal salute was fired from the Western Heights as the Royal party quitted the town. It is understood the Prince intends hunting with the East Kent fox hounds at Lydden to-morrow, should the weather be favourable. _ At the Harbour Sessions on Friday much important business was transacted. The terminus of the South Eastern Railway was definitively settled and agreed for. It will occupy the site between Archcliff Fort and Townsend Battery, approaching nearly to the we t and dry docks, and certainly no better situation could have been found for it. The Commissioners also de cided on some great improvements connected with the proposed Harbour of Ref uge i n the bay. Th ey have ordered the whole of th e nor th side of Union streetc onstru to ctd be e takenbetw between n A t -n he and Yorkga,gates and and the pre mises d a bridge to be of Messrs. Latham and Co., to enable vessels to pass direct from the outer harbour to the Pent, which will, in case of war, form a very fine and commodious station for steam boats. The outer harbour is to b e greatly im proved and increased by the removal of the square now occupied by the Ordnance Storekeeper, Dover Castle Inn, and various warehouses; and Amherst Battery and the range of buildings now occupying the line of ground between the North Pier and the York Hotel are also to be removed. It is generally ex pected that such very extensive and costly arrange ments would never have been decided on, had not the Government determined t o proceed with the great na tional work in the Bay, which is rendered so much the more necessary from the vast improvements now making in several of the opposite ports of France. We have a lamentable account from Boulogne to day of the total loss of the ship Reliance, of London, Capt. Green, 1,500 tons b urt h en. Sh e sa il e d f rom Canton the th May, and was totally"lost on the 11th instant, between Etaples and Berek, a short distance to the west of Boulogne. Out of 75 English and 41 Lascars we regret to state that seven only were saved on a piece of the wreck.

The CHAIRMAN said tha t the ob ject of the present meeting was to receive the Report of a Sub-Commit tee of the Society, who had been directed by a reso lution of aineeting, which had been held on the 31st October, to devise and determine upon a plan for the future operation of ,the Anti-Corn-law party in the metropolis. That Committee had now framed their Report, and he trusted that it would meet the appro bation of the meeting. Mr. S. SMITH, the Secretary, read as follows : "Report of the Committee appointed by the Metro politan Anti-Corn-law Association, at their meeting of October 31, 1842, by the following resolution : --` Resolved, that in order to devise a well-digested plan of future operations, a Committ ee , consisting of Messrs. James Wilson , P. A. Taylor, Col. T. P. Thompson, and F. Place, with power to add to their number, be appointed to consider the best means of promoting the objects of this Association, and to report to a meeting specially to be called for the purpose of conferring upon the same, on Mon day, 14th November next, at one o'clock precisely.' "The subject on which your Committee has been called upon to make a report to the general body of their fellow members, has engaged their anxious indi vidual consideration during a considerable period. " The opinion which early they had been led to I form of the most prudent and effective system of ma nagement of the great question which it is the object "of the Association to carry to a happy issue, the expe rience they have acquired during its progress has ripened into conviction. In Parliament it is apparent that monopoly has abandoned argument, and stands simply upon its majority ; but amongst the people it owes the toleration of its existence mainly to general ignorance of the subject. In the Legislature the truth is known, but not respected; in the community it is only not respected, because it is not known. The sense of justice which the short-sighted selfishness of private interest has enfeebled in the_ Senate, is yet strong in the conscience of the nation. The task we have to accomplish is not that of inducing the people to join in the demand to do us jus tice, but simply to prove to them that justice is on our side. If the proximate cause of the con tinuance of the Corn-laws be the disregard of truth or honesty on the part of the representatives of the coup try, the ultimate cause is unquestionably to be found in the fact that the advocates of free .trade have not yet produced a sufficiently general conviction of the efficacy and necessity of abolishing the restrictive system. And the Committee are now more than ever satisfied that as while we fail to carry conviction of the sound principles of our cause to the minds of the people, we shall not succeed in compelling the Legis lature to abandon their present vicious policy ; so whenever we have succeeded in forming enlightened public opinion in favour of our views, we cannot pos sibly fail in compelling the concurrence of ilie Legis lature to the demands of a fair majority of the nation. "As our weakness lies in the general ignorance which prevails upon the subject of free trade, all that is necessary to increase our strength is to increase the knowledge of the people. As this has been our past aim, so ought it to be our future zealous endeavour. By this simple agency we have compelled a reluctant confession from our opponents of the soundness of our principles; and a vigorous perseverance in the same policy will ultimately induce a reduction of these to practice. We have no new method of agitation to recommend. We have rather to report that the old method has only been partially and imperfectly tried, and to advise that it should be-strenuously carried out in all its details. We have the most unhesitating con fidence in the power of a free press and free speech to correct every abuse in the State; and in place of studying the invention of some new plan of agitation we have addressed ourselves exclusively to the consideration of those details by which a more complete development may be given to the principles of action, an undeviating adherence to which has, we confidently believe, been the cause of our safety, progress, power, and success. As the use of free speech, of open discussion, and of appeals to the un derstandings of men, through the press, have been the time-honoured resources of the people against oppression, and their remedy for social wrongs, so do l i we desire to stand upon the ancient ways of the Con stitution, and to rely upon the peaceful means for redress of grievances prescribed by the customs of the nation. And we have to congratulate our consti tuents on the satisfactory reflection, that in a time of political excitement, social confusion, and popular turbulence, during which disobedience to the laws ended only in the punishment of the insurgents and the discomfiture of their cause, our firm reliance on the peaceable and well ordered means which we have uniformly adopted has consolidated our power, and greatly advanced the cause we are pledged to carry to a triumphant conclusion. " The Committee have received many valuable hints from the Secretaries and other members of local asso-' ciations, to which they have given their best con sideration, and which, to a considerable extent, have been embodied in the following propositions. They now beg respectfully to report : " 1. That it is the general opinion of the Associa- tions that ordinary aggregate meetings for routine business may be advantageously held at the same period of the day as at present, but that special meet ings, where it is importantto command a large attend ance, should commence not earlier than six o'clock in the evening. They recommend, therefore, that it be now resolved to continue the fortnightly aggregate meetings for ordinary routine business, at half-past two for three o'clock precisely ; and for special busi ness, at six o'clock for half-past six precisely • and that the days of meeting be altered from Monday to Friday. " 2. That each Association should at once fix upon some well-known place of meeting'in its own district, for the purpose of holding weekly meetings, and some specific day and hour, for the next six months, to enrol members, to receive subscriptions, and to carry out a regular system for the distribution of tracts ; and, where practicable, to devote each alternate meeting to public lectures, addresses, and discussions.; keeping steadily in view the importance of each society extend ing their operations into the districts which adjoin their own. " 3. That the various branches of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Associations be divided into fourteen topographical sections in the following order : " No. I. Shall consist of the Central Association, St. Ann's, St. Martin's, St. Margaret's, Westminster. " No. 11. Whitechapel, Stepney, Wapping. "'No. 111. Bethnal-green, Shoreditch, Bishops gate, Hoxton. "No. IV. All Souls and Trinity, Portland-town, St. Mary's, Rectory, Christchurch, Paddington, Ma rylebone. " No. V. Western division of St. Pancras, Kentish town and Camden-town, Somer's-town. " No. VI. Islington, St. Luke's. Clerkenwell, Hol- loway. " No. VII. Edmonton, Tottenham, Hackney, South Hackney, West Hackney. " No. VIII. Hammersmith, Kensington, Chelsea. " No. IX. Camberwell and Dulwich, St. Mary's (Newington), St. Saviour's, St. George'', Lambeth, Vauxhall, Surrey. " No. X. Stratford, Barking, Bow, Bromley, Poplar. " No. XI. Mitcham, Carshalton, Tooting, Merton, Wallington, Wandsworth. " No. XII. Uxbridg,e, Hounslow, Brentford, Rich mond. " No. XIII. Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, Deptford, Greenwich, Woolwich. " No. XIV. Dartford,: Crayford. " 4. That aggregate public meetings of all the As sciations shall be held, under the superintendence of each of the sections above enumerated respectively, on Wednesday of each week successively, at half-past six o'clock for seven precisely, in such place, within the district embraced under each section, as shall be mutually agreed upon by the branches included in the same; and that the said meetings shall be held in the following order : " Sections No. 1., on the 30th November, 1842 ; No. 11., 7th December, 1842 ; No. 111., 14th De cember, 1842 ; No. IV., 21st December, 1842 ; No. V., 4th January, 1843 ; No. VI., 11th January, 1843 ; No. VII., 18th January, 1843 ; No. VIII., 25th January, 1843 ; No. IX., Ist February, 1843; No. X., Bth February, 1843; No., XI., 15th Fe bruary, 1843 ; No. XII., 22d February, 1843 ; No. XIII. Ist March, 1843 ; No. XIV., Bth :March, 1843. " To make these meetings effective, it is recom mended that the secretaries of the branches embraced in each section respectively should meet together forthwith to arrange all the preliminaries of the meet ing in their several districts; that they should invite to their public meetings deputations from all the other sections, the presence of leading politicians, the at tendance of influential persons in their respective neighbourhoods; reporters from the Press, and • the general public, especially including ladies, by cards of invitation, specifying place and hour, subscribed by each secretary of the section—said cardsC of invitation to specify on the back the name of each association within the district, their ordinary place, day, and hour of meeting for dispatch of business, and the names of their chairman ; and each secretary of the section to be supplied with as many of the said cards as he may require—the holders of members cards of the Anti-Corn-law League being admissible to all Meetings. " 5. That the secretaries of each section shall duly advertise their respective public meetings in the daily papers, and notify them by circular to all the other branches of the association ; and they shall also be announced at the conclusion of every meeting pre ceding that on which each section is to hold its meet ing, together with the names of such persons of in fluence as have agreed to attend. Due arrangements ought to be carefully prepared for the sale of tracts and the enrolment of members at each meeting, and in 'order not to trench on the general funds of the associations, the expenses should be defrayed by each branch within the general sections respectively, in the proportion of the number of members of which each consists, or by a general or equal subscription, as may be agreed upon. In every case there should be a timely selection of chairman, speakers, and reso lutions, of which last several copies should be pre pared for the accommodation of reporters. " 6. That the Committee would recommend to each branch or section the formation of occasional public tea meetings, in addition to the foregoing, carefully avoiding the nights appropriated to sec tional meetings ; and they also propose that imme diately on the termination of the public meetings four great aggregate tea meetings should be held. " 7. Your Committee have arranged with a printer to furnish tracts, of four pages octavo each, at the rate of ls. 6d. per hundred ; and they recommend that a new tract, bearing upon topics emerging in the course of publication, applicable to the Corn -laws, be issued every week, whereof each association should agree to take and distribute at least 200 copies in its own locality, in the manner of tract societies, and shall have them on sale at their weekly and sectional meetings. That, prior to entering upon this under taking, each association should meet and intimate to the Secretary of the Central Association, the number of tracts it agrees to purchase, direct the mode of de livery, and endeavour to make arrangements with 'the news-venders and booksellers in their neighbourhoods for the sale of the publications, as they successively appear, advertising the addresses of those who agree to keep them on sale, in all the bills, cards, and tracts of the bran c h. That these publications shall be made under the superintendence of the Business Com mittee of the Central Association, who shall give their best attention to any manuscripts, tracts, or sugges tions transmitted to them by the branches. "In conclusion , the Committee would beg 'to guard themselves from being understood, in their introduc - tory observation, to mean to convey the impression that small progress has as yet been made in producing an effect upon public opinion. While the nearly uni versal report made to them by their branches, and the friends of free trade generally, is, that they still find much ignorance in society on the subject of mono poly, and that ignorance is the great obstacle in the way of repeal, they are quite as unanimous in assur ing the Committee that the public have made great and rapid progress in the comprehension of the ques tion ; that at no former period was the zeal and ac tivity of their branches so great as at present ; that they have never found such a disposition in the neutral or hostile public to listen to their arguments, or to acquire information as now ; and that a very great and favourable change of opinion has recently taken place among the agricultural portion of the commu nity, • especially in the case of tenant farmers. The Committee entertain a strong opinion that no oppor,- tunity should be lost of acting upon the rural popula tion, through every channel of communication, and especially by tracts and the establishment of associa tions in the villages of Kent, Middlesex, Surrey, and Essex. In the present temper of the predial districts, they anticipate large accessions to their cause, from the so-called protected interests themselves ; and they have only, in conclusion, to urge upon their consti tuents and friends generally, the importance of im proving the golden opportunity afforded by the pre sent favourable disposition of the rural population to recommend, by appealing to their reason and their consciences, the great cause which it is the object of the Association to promote." After some conversation the Report was agreed to. In obedience to the call of the Chairman, Sir DE LACY EVANS congratulated them upon the evident and most satisfactory progress which they were making in the advancement of the cause which they had espoused. The meeting itself afforded to leis mind an admirable and convincing proof of the vigorous manner in which they conducted their exer tions, and they could pot but anticipate that the hap piest results must ensue.—(Hear, hear.) Twelve months ago Mr. Villiers—(Cheers),—the most able and consistent champion of their cause, had congratu lated the country upon the excellent progress which the Anti-Corn-law party was making ; and the very first division in the present Parliament had shown that, so far from a Tory Government coming into power having stopped this progress of opinion in fa vour of free trade, a decided increase of supporters in the House of Commons had been obtained.—(Hear, hear.) The declarations of the Premier himself upon this subject had been most profitable to their cause, but most unsatisfactory to his own supporters.— (Hear, hear.) This was an event which demanded their best and most sincere self-congratulation, and he hoped to see their exertions in consequence re doubled.—(Hear, hear.) After some observations from Mr. Edwards and Dr. Price, Mr. WILSON said that he would offer a few obser vations to the meeting with reference to the principle upon which the Report which had been presented to them had been framed. The main argument which had operated, upon the Sub-Committee was the im portance of disseminating knowledge through those classes in which ignorance still prevailed upon this all engrossing topic;. and, therefore, it was that they had adopted public instruction as the best means of work ing the important end which they had in view. They had heard that, though other trades were dull, every printing-machine in Manchester was to be set to work by the Anti-Corn-law League. He feared that their means would not enable them to give like employ ment to the whole of the London printing-presses; but he hoped that, ere long, many presses would be set to work, and tracts produced which would secure a more lasting effect upon the minds of their oppo nents, or of their lukewarm friends, than the speeches or lectures of their friends, however admirable in themselves they might be.—(Cheers.) Mr. MOOR (of Manchester) was then called on by the Chairman. He said that he was convinced by his experience and observation that no time like the present had ever presented itself for affording instruc tion to the public mind, and thereby gaining fresh supporters of their views. He referred with confi dence to the speeches which had been made by the opponents of the existing Corn-law, and he was I pre pared to contend, notwithstanding the threat which had been held out, and which had been already re ferred to by the Chairman, that much more had been said to excite the ;people by the monopolists in the House of Commons than by those who had striven to obtain the just repeal of the tax upon bread. Ithad been said in the House of Commons by the supporters of the monopolist party, that machinery was the cause of all the evil ; that the masters were the tyrants and the oppressors of their servants ; that the people were starving and were patient ; and yet had the Prime Minister of her Majesty declared that his measures were not measures of relief.—(Hear, hear.) But they had heard speeches also from the same Right Honourable Baronet in favour of free trade, and where such speeches were delivered by such a man, could the speeches of members of the Anti-Corn-law League, men warmly engaged in the came of the people, upon their own conviction of the injustice to which they were subject, be raked up because they contained ex pressions of their more earnest feelings ?—(Hear, hear.) Could men, he asked, speak calmly whose rights were trampled upon, and who were treated with injustice ?—(Hear hear.) The Report, which had been read, showed that this Society was not alarmed at the paragraph to which he had referred ; for his own part, he should take it as his guide in future, and he should speak even more warmly upon this question than he had yet done. Cheap food was not the con sequence of the tariff of Sir Robert Peel ; but it was the consequence of the continued refusal of free trade to the people. The scarcity of purchasers was the cause of the cheapness of provisions—the want of de mand was the cause, and until free trade was intro duced, until England had the world as the garden from which it could select the produce which it re quired, and to which it could send its productions, the same difficulties must prevail.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers now begin to see this ; and now, where tracts were before viewed with suspicion, or not received at all, they were looked for and accepted with anxiety and pleasure.— (Cheering.) Colonel Tnomrsox was prepared to give his testi mony also towards the proofs of the daily increasing di3position and anxiety of the public mind in favour of the cause of free trade. The Corn• law, he thought they must be all agreed, was the weak point of their adversaries—on which they trembled and quaked, but it was the point on which they were going a-head— (Cheers) —and he was sure that the time was not far distant when they should arrive in the happy haven of their vvishes.—(heers.) Mr. S. SMITH gave notice that lectures on the Corn law would be delivered to-morrow (this day) at the Royal Oak, Bayswater ; on Wednesday, at P op l ar ; on Thursday, at St. John's Wood ; and on Friday, at Tottenham ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman the meeting separated.

The Marquis of Bute and the Right Hon. Fox Maule have been proposed for the Lord Rectorship of Glasgow College. Ilia Excellency the French Ambassador has quite recovered from the effects of the indisposition under which he laboured since his return from Paris, and on Sunday evening dined with the Countess St. Aulaire, at the Dowager Lady Holland's, in Park street, where a few select friends were invited to meet them. The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress have been most attentive to the poor young fellow whose thigh was broken in the procession on Wednesday. They gave instructions that the most eminent medical skill should be employed in his case, and have made re peated inquiries after his health, which it is satisfac tory to state is Food. THE Two THOUSAND POUNDS ROBBY:RT.—We understand that a portion of the proceeds of this rob bery have lately made their way to the Bank of Eng land, in the shape of a 500/. pound note. It was paid into the Bank of England by the Messrs. Masterman and Co., bankers, London, to whom it was paid by the Messrs. Rothschild, the celebrated millionaires, who received it from their house in Paris. It has been conjectured that the note was paid in Paris within forty-eight hours of its being stolen in Preston.-- Manchester Chronicle. CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS AT W IN Dsoß. _ About fifty handsome villa residences, encircled and interspersed with ornamental grounds, and to be called Victoria Park, through which it is proposed to carry a road across the new bridge over the Thames to the railway station at Slough, will be shortly erected. The track of land running from Arbur-hill to the Eton and Slough turnpike-road, commanding views of Windsor Castle ; has been purchased by Mr. Bedborough, of Windsor, for the site of the proposed improvements. MONEY MARKET and • FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF T CITY, MONDAY f.VIAG:,, TIMES.—The shipwreck of the R teario; China to London, at Etaples, near . Boulb turday, has created considerable sensation V-e-e-, The loss of 110 persons out of the 1 16 1W. drIlikier, has cast a gloom of the most melancholy description F. among the merchants connected with the East India trade. Her last place of resort was St. Helena, and • the parties interested in her fate were therefA in ex : pectation every day of hearing of her safe arrival. It appears that of the crew and . passengers, num bering the amount of persons already stated, , the saved are one European, described to be the,ship s carpenter, and five Lascars, who reached the shore in one of the boats of the vessel. The Reliance was an old'ship en this trading station, and had on board a cargo of tea of considerable value, beside the freightage inci dental to a voyage she xi as in the habit of perform ing. The quantity of tea she brought over was 1,884,7481 k, of which there were 1,277,5661 b. congou, and 406,5651 b. of twankav, with smaller proportions of other descriptions. Most fortunately for the insurance offices and underwriters in this country, their risks upon this vessel do not include more than from 14,0001 to 15,000/. of the 195,000/. for which it is said she is insured, the Indian offices, that is to say, the insurance offices of Calcutta and Bombay, being responsible for at least 150,000/. to 180,0001. of the entire amount. This mishap, .kith those reported from the Cape of Good Hope on'a turday, and others which have occurred on the coast (luring the late severe weather, have, in a material degree, depressed the feelings of parties connected in our shipping interest. The London insurance offices, and also the underwriters, have suffered by the loss of the Abercrombie Robinson and the Waterloo, 'but we are assured, not to any serious extent. The letters from Cairo to the 23d ult., which have been received, describe the greatest state of panic, arising from the prevalence of the murrain amongthe cattle in Egypt—a disease which is peculiarly alarm ing, as it is considered the forerunner of the plague. The Pacha had already lost 90,000 oxen, besides other animals, and had been obliged to make use of the horses employed in the service of his artillery for ag ricultural purposes, as the destruction of the cattle had rendered their n umber insufficient to get in the seed for the ensuing year. The persons employed in the transit of Indian passengers from Alexandria to Suez had also experienced considerable loss. 100 of their horses had perished in a single month, and the mortality was increasing. By the Swift packet accounts have arrived from Rio de Janeiro to the 17th of September. These re port the suppression of the revolutionary feeling in the interior, which had before so much disturbed the tranquillity of the merchants. The consequence of this was an immediate action upon the Exchange, which had advanced to 26 to the lateist quotation at the departure of this packet. She brings 50,000/. in gold and diamonds. The communication between the mines and the port being opened, this freightage was to a certain extent made up by their' shipments to their several interests here. As herFillajesty's ship Curacoa was to follow two days subsequently, few of the merchants were inclined to put their letters l on board the Swift, the preference in respect to sailing qualifications being in most cases awarded to Govern ment vessels when on their passage home. This will account for the partial delivery of letters and papers by the Swift to-day. The Curacoa had been the round of 'the, coast on a collection cruise from Valpa raiso doWnwards, and when reported from that place was represented as having 2,000,000 dollars to convey to England. On the subject of trade in the Brazils little is said; there was rather a better feeling to purchase, now revolution was at an end, but an advance mprices is not officially noted. POST.—The Consol market has still a firm ap pearance. There was to-day nothing at all special doing in any of the English Securities, but prices are maintained, with scarcely a fluctuation in any of the various desetiptions. Bank Stock was, perhaps, not quite so good as during the past week. The late advance does not appear to have been founded on any intelligible cause, apart from that of the excessive plentifulness of money. The price was certainly low before ; more so than circumstances would at all war rant, but the interest recently demanded by the Bank for the discount of bills and loans of money is so much reduced, that there can be no chance whatever of any immediate increase in the dividend payable to Proprietors. The only wonder among well-informed persons is, how the present rate can be maintained. It is not unlikely that, availing tbecqselves of the comparatively low_quotations for Bank Stock, many of the holders a the Three-and-a-Half per C e nt. Annuities may have sold out of the latter fund with a view to the re-investment of the proceeds in the former. There was every temptation to take such a course, since probability existed of Government pay ing off the Three-and-a-Ilalf per Cents.; but where purchases of Bank Stock ma have been made in the hope of an increase in the dividend, it can hardly happen but that there must be disappointment. The utmost that can be expected, taking things at, he best, is that the rate now paying by the Corporation may he continued without diminution. R ONICL E. —The New York Herald, received this morning, with its usual industry, publishes a table showing an aggregate average decline in prices at New York, from August, 1840, to August, 1841, of 20 per cent., and up to August, 1842, of 31 per cent:on' fie Chief articles of general consumption, and remarks that when, by the operation of general causes the farmers are shorn of the proceeds of theirlabour, the new tariff steps in and puts up the prices of im ported and manufactured articles lf per cent., the average actual advance in the Atlantic ports on those articles subject to the increased duties. The same paper observes that the new tariff cannot produce a permanent check to bbsiness, because trade will force its way into profitable channels, in spite of all restric. tions. "The British Government," he adds, "is al ready making rapid strides towards concentrating the trade of the 'Western States into its provinces, and the late tariff had greatly assisted their efforts." This re sult, he says, is quite palpable to every one conversant with the trade of the United States and Great Britain, for the moment it was found that it will be more pro fitable to take the risk of entering by the Canadian frontier than by the Custom-house of New York, goods will be shipped for Quebec, New Brunswick, &c., nearly as openly as if the trade were direct. It it utterly impossible to guard a frontier extending 1,200 or 1,500 miles, with a population on both side, of the line interested in affording every facility to Olt contraband trade. The best judges in the United States are said to be of opinion that if the southern and western States • were to 3ubmit to the new tariff remaining perma nent, which is considered very improbabl e , it will, neither answer th e purpose as a question of revenue nor as a protection to manufactures, but the payMent consignmentsof the duties shardpen speculation. s iedti:ii h nt,3,ll \ aln V .,n_di l 2dl l s. l : t i -e le n . d ,g gteatly to stop SUN.—No alteration occurred this afternoon in the value of Stock, and the business done was as limited at in the early part of the day.

THE SICK P OOR. - Sickness is a sore visitation to the poor at this - time of the year, and yet there aee very few who can be said to enjoy real good health. The poor man tries to work, hut he cannot; he wants good food and nourishment, but a few potatoes, or ft little porridge, is all his wife can give him ; he would be much relieved if he had a cormortable bed, but an old chaff bed with no blankets is all he has, and of this he is only allowed a fifth part. With no earnings, he applies for relief, but is told it is not the proper days, he must call again on Thursday. He goes a second time,, and, after waiting two hours, gets his name down, but must wait till Tuesday before his case is heard. A ' doctor's note is required, for which he has again to wait at the dispensary. He attends edrly on the Tues day, hoping to get something to subsist upon, and after waiting five hours, and almost sinking down with hunger and fatigue, he is admitted, and receives • half-a-crown, which, for himself and family, is not sufficient for two days. If he - grumble at all, the offer is refused, and an order for the workhouse is sent after him. It is hard to be poor, but to be 'poor and sick also, is a sore affliction. We cannot do better than to remember such, and assist them to the 'utmost of our power.—The Struggle. . . THE SUN, _rt:IONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1842. tia#, j t ~~~~~ ".:' I
