GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce to those who are inclined to improve their fortunes in another and very favoured country, and in a climate that has no contempo rary in Europe, that he is instructed to OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, August 18, at Twelve, A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY, ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATE AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, offering attractions and advantages of the utmost moment to the emigrant Farmer with capital, who will know well how to appre ciate the benefits which his labour and exertions will command, in a country where the soil and climate are the most genial, and cer tain at all periods of the year, to facilitate his laudable endea vours to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold and praiseworthy efforts will so justly entitle him next in impor. tance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by this country to Settlers, THIi TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM GOVERNMENT; and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as SLABBERT'S POORT, situated in the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33,15 to 20, and east longitude 23.13 to 15, near the hake River. It is A SHEEP FARM, and considered to be the best in this district, comprising 43,304 ACRE OF RICH PASTURAGE, which, during many years, has been the source of immense pecu niary gain. THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE WHOLE YEAR, which, ander able management, it is needless to remark, will afford ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it; a garden planted with fruit trees and 3,000 vines; also five permanent springs, giving a never-failing supply of water. The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates as follows:—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the farm, it presents a very favourable position for A STORE, OR SHOP." does not give promise of the consequence that a closer inve,tiga tion will render manifest. It is almost too modest and unpre tending for the delight and comfort that prevails within. It is quite equal in every respect to accommodate most perfectly the family of a merchant of high standing—indeed, in going over it. the composer of this sketch tried how, by ingenuity, it could be rendered more conducive to comfort, but he essayed in vain; and the offices, from beginning to end, are in thorough keeping with the whole. This delightful abode does not belong to the class of modern buildings, for beside everything the most fastidious mind can suggest, there is a solidity that has recently been too much out of fashion. The view from the extended lawn is quite a picture. The gal leries and balcony are not of common place; they are, indeed, alike, useful and ornamental, partaking of views that are not merely of considerable extent, but include a landscape, that is one of incomparable beauty. One of the great delights that Champion Hill especially claims as its own, is that although within half an hour's drive of the seat of daily profit, there is a quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, !hat seems to estrange London from this locality. The grounds are of consi derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten their natural claims has beets achieved. American plants are in every corner, the cedars of Lebanon feathering to the ground, and the Portugil laurels, (some of them eighty feet around), the arbor vitae, and a little army of Rhododendums, seem all to aspire to aid in this scene of delight and with A BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY, PINERY, AND DRAPERY, _ seem to leave nothing for the most fastidious to desire. There are two Kitchen Gardens ; and at the extremity of the first Pad dock is a second Lawn of great beauty, with an almost superabund ance of shrubs and flowers, with ornamental Summer Houses ; then the strawberry and vegetable gardens, with fruit trees well selected; at the termination of the whole is the Gardner's abode. surrounded by all sorts of useful offices ; in short, every appendage to a little Farm ; and there are SIX RICH PADDOCKS, OF A PARK-LIKE CHARACTER. to complete all that human invention could have desired. --- In front of the Villa is an Orchard and Kitchen Garden, which numbers amongst other advantages the certainty that NO BUILDING OPERATION CAN INTERPOSE Its unwelcome appearance here. In the Court-yard is a double Coach house, 5 Stalls, 2 loose boxes and men servants'-room; in short, there is everything that a reasonable mind can think of cv enjoy. The .term is near fifty years, and no ground-rent. The Paddocks are subject only to six guineas an acre.

SALES BY AUCTION. ALL FREEHOLD. NEAR TO READING. GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, with PARK GROUNDS, extending to 60 ACRES, within a ring-fence, and considerable Common Right, extending over all the Parish. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEXT, the 21st of July, at Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot, A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, equally eligib , e as an Investment for Capital, or for an Abode. It consists of the GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, most delightfully situate within three miles of Reading, on the road to Newbury and Basingstoke, and secluded from it by a row of Ornamental Laurels, a Hawthorn hedge, and neat Chain Railing. It is accounted one of the prettiest things in Reading's vicinity, which, it is known, is famed for the wealth and respect. ability of those who live around it. THIS ELEGANT AND VERY CHASTE VILLA within A TWO HOURS' RIDE FROM LONDON, is placed on a Lawn of extraordinary beauty, and considerable ex tent, and the front, which overlooks the road, is adorned by . A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY, so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature oa the road. The columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap. proached by a noble flight of steps. The Lawn is resplendent in every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown timber in Limes, and Chesnuts studded about in pleasing negli gence, with Plants and Flowering Shrubs without any apparent termination. But it will be well first to return to the habitation. IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA, and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advantage that substantiality in the erection is conspicuous every where. The walls seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re gards convenience and internal comfort, it cannot be exceeded. All the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent proportions, and the Bedroom Department not to be exceeded. THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS are adap . .ed to a first-rate family; or, by the way, at this interesting moment of doubt, while the Elective Franchise of Reading is in abeyance, if a gentleman of fortune and character be tempted into this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not count upon adding M.P. to his present honours. The cellars are famous, and ii only needs to let hospitality be placed conspicuously at Grazely to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec tability preside in this vicinity. But to return to this little his - tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit for the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard are two stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriagese depository over for hay and straw, and coachman's room. THE FARM YARD, on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the buildings arc famous ; and close by are two additional slips of garden for potatoes and vegetables. B) the way it has been omitted to state there is A CAPITAL KITCHEN GARDEN, plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard h: re by, that gives promise of lOU bushels of apples and pears this season. THE LODGE ENTREE is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is through the luxuriant grounds. SHENFIELD CHURCH (a pretty object) is only a Mile and a half off, with three pews for the family. AND THE RIGHTS ARE UNRESTRICTED OVER THE COMMONS IN SHENFIELD PARISH. Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store another feature, A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARK.LIKE LAND, WITH SOME FAMOUS ARABLE; the latter growing at this moment 6 quarters of Wheat per acre, and the soil is congenial for all the purposes of Agriculture. In fine, it would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find a more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of Berks. _......... Particulars may be had at the Bear Hotel, Reading; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. Robins' Offices, London. SALES BY AUCTION.

A very inadequate description of the costly effects which will be found congregated can only be conveyed through the usual mode of a public announcement. Mr. Robin& will endeavour to state, as succinctly as possible, the leading features, with the full con viction that there will be found, in every department, the utmost attraction to interest and induce the connoiseur of the fine arts, the bibi iomanist, the bon vivant, the florist, and horticulturist, and those who seek to furnish their abodes with all that is of the best an , purest taste, to journey to this most extensive and splendid auction. THE EXPENSIVE FURNITURE OF THE MANSION cannot be denominated of the present fashion or period; it is, how ever, in the best taste, and excellent of its time, and comprises the appropriate fittings of the noble drawing.rooms, s aloon, dining-room, library, mot ning room, and boudoir, with many BRILLIANT CHIMNEY AMD PIER GLASSES, of unusually large dimensions ; ORNAMENTAL PORCELAIN AND ALABASTER of extreme beauty and rarity. The magnificent Equip merits of _ _ _ _ ...,...._ THE STATE BEDCHAMBER AND DRESSING ROOMS, in rich crimson silk damask, enriched with gold laze, is, however, of the latest fashion, and most gorgeous in effect; these chambers have only recently been fitted up; likewise the excellent Fur. niture of TWENTY-FIVE BEST BEDCHAMBERS; the whole of which are most completely and admirably appointed; also of an immense number of bedchambers for domestics, and of the extensive range of offices.

It was formed by THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON, who had unusual facilities of enriching his gallery with gems from the continent, and who, aided by a consummate judgment, spared neither cost nor trouble to accomplish his darling object. The rarest treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and English Schools, in their pure state, will here be found ; and where there is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for particular mention ; still the following well-known and un doubted pictures by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter," and " Susannah and the Elders," must have especial notice ; two landscapes by G. Poussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a landscape by Claude; a landscape by Domenichino; a landscape, with cattle, by Cuyp ; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep, by K. Du Jardin; a landscape by Berghem ; and another by Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandervelde-- one being or large size and singularly fine, and its companion by Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art.

Teithnonial from John Sawyer, Esq., of Haywood Lodge, Maidenhead, Bcrks, to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William.street, Gentlemen,—Having been deaf for some time, which I found increasing, and which very much incon venienced both my , elf and friends, and observing your announce. ment in the daily papers, 1 was induced in the month of November -1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductor, Sound Mag, pifiers, and although at my advanced age—at that time past my 77th year—l had no hope of obtaining any relief, but immediately I applied them according to your directions, and to the surprising astonishment of many of my friends around me, I could hear with them the general conversation, and 1 ant happy to inform you that by the constant use of them both my ears and my hearing have be. come so touch improved that I can now hear acutely without their aid, and in consequence of the valuable benefit which I have derived, has caused me to snake application to you for Spectacles, which I find equally good, and afford me all the comfort and relief by day and candlelight that I could desire. I feel much pleasure in handing you this testimonial for the great advantage I have derived, and shall be most happy to make this statement to any inquiry that may be made.

City. LA DVERTISEMENT.j IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand ftir it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of oach bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants; and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Colonies arc continually 1 transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratif)ing is the testimony Schweope and Co. are in the habit. of reiteiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the 1 hi g h condition in which it is generally found, The Water ' ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's `,..entonactt? is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro duction, but front its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable flavour, arid made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in eases of fever, nor is it less de , sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will i have a yellow table on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the .Gerinan Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages.

AN INVESTMENT OF GREAT PROMISE TO ALL THOSE WHO DESIRE TO PURCHASE WITHOUT APPREHENSION.-THE GRA FTON ESTATE IS 506 ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND, WITHIN A RING FENCE, FREE FROM TITHES, AND AN UNEXCEP. TION ABLE TENANTRY. 11 O PUBLICB N S xi is co p desired ET it • Pro t P i r E iePor it to G o i ff l er toTION bY , at the Alt r e Auction Mart, London, on TnURSDAV, the 28th of July, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, A FREEHOLD ESTATE of considerable value, and one that seems not to have a single alloy to counteract it. THE GRAFTON ESTATE has long since acquired considerable renown, which may be traced in a great degree to the superiority of the soil; although it will presently be seen that it numbers many other ingredients to enlist a purchaser into THIS SOUND INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL The property is situate close to some of the best markets in Eng. land. It is only 6 miles from Tewkesbury and Evesham ; 9 from Cheltenham ; and only THREE MILES FROM THE RAILWAY STATION. It comprehends nearly THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF GRAFTON. which, on a more familiar acquaintance, will strongly bring to re collection the beautiful delineation given to "OUR VILLAGE," BY MISS MITFORD. The tenantry are all congregated here, and a more complete picture of contentment and happiness is nowhere to be found. There are THREE MOST CAPITAL DAIRY FARMS, ENTIRELY EXEMPT FROM TITHES, AND VERY MODERATE OUTGOINGS. It has been observed they are daisy farms, inasmuch as some of the best Gloucester cheese is yearly traced to Grafton; but a purchaser may at this present writing see some of the most PRODUCTIVE CROPS OF CORN THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, a circumstance not very difficult of comprehension when it is called to mind that THE ESTATE IS IN THE GOLDEN VALE of Evesham. A turnpike-road passes through it to Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, and the roads around it in every direction are capital, with CHELTENHAM, THE FIRST WATERING-PLACE IN ENGLAND, Within an hour's drive. THE BECKFORD INN AND HOTEL approximates upon the Property, and, from the comfort that pre. sides within, is a feature in this interesting spot. THE ORCHARDING IS ABUNDANT, and gives promise of so much Cyder and Perry this season, that it may fairly be inferred it will improve " THE WAYS AND MEANS" of the honest trio who compose the happy tenantry upon Grafton, and who (with ancestors of ancient date) have for many a long year reposed in profitable delight in our village. It would be quite impos.ible for a purchaser to select three more re. spectable or more talented yeomen than Messrs. Izard, Crump, and Martin. The estate consists of FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES of first-rate Land, and no Tithe, including Plantations enough to diversify and improve the picture ; the country around it present ing a landscape that is almost comparable to the famed beauties of Devonshire. The tenantry have never had leases, and from their high respectability and good management, have been so fortunate as to continue, a very long period, at an inadequate rent of 8001. a-year. The time has arrived when, without doing them wrong, the rental may be increased to ONE THOUSAND POUNDS CLEAR PER ANNUM. And amongst the agremens connected with Grafton, it being with. out the annoyance of an overgrown house upon it, is one of some import. To conclude, it may be well to observe, that the rents are paid most punctually ; and Lavater has marked conspicuously on their countenances that the word abatement never entered into their imagination, The Estate can be seen, by the kind permission of these intel ligent occupants.

" May 23, 1842." ANTI-CORN-LAW GONFERENCE. The Delegates re-assembled yesterday morning at - Twelve o'Cluck, at the King's Arms, Palace-yard. P. A. TAYLOR, Esq., in taking the hair, said they were met to commence another week's labours. He thought the position in which the country was placed showed them that it was well that they should remain at their posts, for he thought it was quite evident, both from the public papers and numerous private correspond ence, that the feeling—the perception of the intensity of the distress and the absolute necessity of immediate relief was extending itself daily. He thought it was well that the Conference should remain together, for while they were there as the organs of thousands who had deputed them. there was a hope that, they being the mouth-pieee— their giving utterance to the expression of distress and suffering, would have a tendency to extend the pati ence of their constituents, and their willingness to endure to the utmost possible degree. He (the Chairman) thought that, when the time arrived that they (the Delegates) would go home, satisfied that at present it was impossible to arouse the mad infatuated quietude— that it was impossible to arouse the attention of the governors to the distress of the country—when that time arrived that they should disperse, he believed that the last Oh imer of hope would be gone, and it would be impossible to say how fearful the consequences would be. In commencing their labours he had selected a portion of the correspondence, which he would read, f,r the letters poured in from all quarters. The first that he would read was the answer of the Duke of Wel lington to an application made to him on Friday last, to receive a deputation from the Conference:— London, July 16, 1842. Field-Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his compli ments to Mr. Taylor. He is not in office in the Queen's political service. He is not entrusted with the exercise of 'political power. He has no control over those who are. Ha begs to he excused for declining to receive the visits of deputations from associations, or of individual gentlemen, in order to converse with him upon public affairs. Rut if any gentlemen think proper to give him, in writing, information or instruction upon any subject, he will peruse the same with attention. P. A. Taylor, Esq., Brown's Hotel. The Duke has received three notes from Mr. Taylor on this subject. The reading of this note was accompanied by marks of surprise and ridicule on the part of the gentlemen uresent._ . . The CHAIRMAN then read the following communica tion from Manchester. The resulution it contained had been signed by upwards of 30,000 persons in one day:- 5, Newall's-building, Manchester, July 15, 1842. Sir,—At a meeting of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law Asso— ciation, held this evening, it was moved by Mr. Alderman Brooks, seconded by Mr. F. Warren, and carried unanimously:— " That, believing this country to be on the eve of a revolu tion, and being utterly without hope that the Legislature will accord justice to the starving millions, a requisition be ferth with prepared, signed, and forwarded to the Members of this h-Tough, calling upon them, in conjunction with other Liberal Members, to offer every possible opposition to the taxation of a prostrate people for the purposes of a bread- taxing aristocracy, by argument and other constitutional impediments, that the wheels of Government may be arrested through the rejection or prevention of all votes of supply." It was also further resolved—" That, for the purpose of giv ing greater effect to this movement, the Members for other boroughs ought to be similarly addressed by their several con- stituencies ; ' and the Committee trust you will see the neces sity and propriety of immediately originating a meeting in your borough in furtherance of such object. I am, Sir, your olse siient servant, JOHN BRINDLE, Sec. The following letters were then read : Cherley, June 16th, 1842. Dear Sir,—l received your note of the 14th inst., and in reply, I beg to say we are sorry we cannot arrange so as to send a Deputation from Chorley at this time to meet you in conference; yet, though we cannot be personally present amongst you, our heart is with you, and we wish you God speed, for you are engaged in a righteous cause. Whilst I have my pen in my hand, I would just beg leave to say that things seem to be gradually getting worse amongst us. Paupers are upon the increase, and poor-rates are also getting heavier; indeed it is a wonder how many with large families get a putting on, for there are many families around us who never taste anything for a whole day together. And, sir, to give you some faint idea of the privations which those are enduring who are in full work, there are able-bodied men (weavers) who have to fetch work ten miles distant from their homes, labour at it a whole week, take it back, and for all that, only receive five shillings. These are not solitary cases; I could even mention worse than these, were it necessary. • And, Sir, the tradesmen and shopkeepers are suffering most severely from the depressed state of the times. Ido assure you, Sir, I • do not know of one shopkeeper (and I have as good means of knowing as any one here) in Chorley. who is doing well ; I do know this, that four out of five are in a ruinous state—and all this is attributable to the high prices of provisions, for the people cannot earn what they can consume. I am, Sir, yours truly, JNO. HOD GKINSON. To P. A. Taylor, Esq., London. Carlisle, July 16th 1842, Dear Sir,—l feel myself highly honoured by your communi cation of the 14th inst. We have had two meetings respecting sending some one to London. A resolution was passed, a copy of which would be forwarded to the Conference. For my own part, ( I may say), had not my professional duties been such as to pre vent me at this time, I believe I should have been proud to have added one to your truly honourable and praiseworthy body, on my own account. I may inform you that if the operative spin ners and weavers are not so ill off in Carlisle as they are in many other places, it is entirely owing to the stability and per severance of their employers. The carpenters, joiners, masons, and bricklayers have little, and many of them nothing to do. Perm-rates increasing, and more houses to let than ever I remember. Oh, Sir, when so much distress is abroad, it is monstrous to withhold from a suffering and starving people the kind and bountiful Providence of God. May the Almighty bless and prosper your labours, and crown them with success, is the prayer of your's, truly, THOS. SHEFFIELD. Bilston, July 16, 1842. Sir,—Although this is a week when most of us are fully engaged in making up our accounts, or attending the Iron Masters' Quarterly Meetings, yet we held a meeting of the Free Trade Association Committee immediately upon the receipt of your printed Circular, dated July 14, and I am happy to inform you that one spirit animated us all, and we at once re t.olved that our esteemed friend, the Rev. W. H. Bonner should again visit London as our deputation to the Con ference; that he should, if necessary, remain a fort night, and if the Conference continued its sittings, he should be relieved by our treasurer, Mr. E. B. Drinck. We feel with you that this is an important crisis, and we ear nestly hope some good will be effected by the Conference pre vious to the proroguing of Parliament, otherwise we fear much an increase of distress, and the coming winter will drive the at present patient and peaceable working classes to desperation. The distress in this town is daily on the increase ; we have now three relieving officers, where we formerly found one sufficient. Yesterday the Board of Guardians were engaged from nine o'clock, a.m., till eight o'clock, r.st., in in vestigating the cases of the applicants, and they have appointed a Committee to assist the relieving officer during the week. To-night a general notice has been given the miners and col liers tor a reduction of their wages another ten per cent..; and the Iron Masters' Quarterly Meeting at Birmingham, on Thursday last, was one of the worst ever known. Surely, the Government will try and do something to open the channels of our trade, so tl.at there may be " employment for the people, and bread for them to eat." I remain, Sir, yours, very respectfully, ROBERT BEW, Vice-President of the Bilston Free Trade Association. To G. Thompson, Esq., Secretary of the Ant i- Corn •law Conference, London. Dalquhoun, near Dumbarton, July 16, 1842. Sir,—l am this morning favoured with your circular of the 14th. The bad state of my health precludes the possibility of my going to London at this moment ; and as I leave home on Alonday with a view to the recovery of my health, I shall not have it in my povler to do much personally in aid of your cause. I have, however, put your circular into the hands of my excel lent friend, the Rev. A. Somerville, of Dumbarton (author of the Address of the Edinburgh Conference), than whom the cause has no more zealous, able, or active partisan. You may, therefore, depend that whatever can be done, will be done. With best wishes for the success of your endeavours, I re- ' main, yours respectfully, J. STIRLING. P. A. Taylor, Esq., London. Beaminster, July 16, 1842. . . . . Sir,—Your circular I duly received, but am sorry to say we cannot afford to send a Deputy from this town, we are feeling deeply the sad effeets of those starvation laws. When I was at the Conference in February, I stated that our poor's rates in 1b36 and 1837 were 1,100/. ' the year ending March, 1842, they were 2,600/., and for this summer half year two rates have been ordered amounting to lOW. This is sufficient to pi ove what a state trade is in in this town. We are surrounded by an agricultural population, and I believe them to be in a far worse state than when they rose in this and the ad joining counties in 1836, and, I hope to give you some particu lar statement in a day or two to prove it. At the time I refer to I was in correspondence with Lord Portman on the sad condition of the labouring population ; he then urged on me the necessity of quelling the mob. and then he said their condition must be inquired into. I followed his advice, and was sworn in a special constable with most of my fellow tradesmen ; happily, the mob was quelled without our asssistance. But what was done for the poor starving wretches? Why, Yeomanry Cavalry were raised to keep them down, and to keep up the accursed Corn laws. _ _ With all the boast of the aristocracy about the happy con dition of the peasantry, I have no hesitation in saying, they were never worse off than they are at the present time, and if the manufacturing districts and the agricultural labourers will join them—call me a fool, if ever I protect anything be longing to the aristocracy (excepting their persons). Trusting your endeavours will be crowned with success, I am, Sir, yours faithfully, JOSEPH TITE. _ . . . Rochdale, July 16,1842. Dear Sir,—On account of the continued supply of work for most of the hands employed in the woollen trade, Rochdale has not suffered near so much as many other places, yet it is very evident the pressure is constantly increasing. Bricksetters, joiners, and many other trades are suffering much from want of work, consequently shopkeepers, butchers, shoemakers, tailors, &c., complain of want of trade. year usually employed from thirty to fifty hands, toil me h a itn fe s tr e t' lf daysd son. that, now he has scarcely work enough Similar evidence of the deplorable want Our present business abun dant.

The prospect of winter ic, erelnrct very painful to every reflecting mind. Many foundries in this county, both large andi a mall ones,, have ceased to work altogether during the last eight's% n months , and unless trade soon revives, many more mast stop, either to save the remaining part of their property from the jaw's of unre munerating prices, or of necessity to be at once gaZetrA3 , and I fear that in these respects most trades are in the same cc:tradition. I assure you, as I believe, nothing less than the removal of commercial restrictions, especially that giant curse, The Corn-laws," will restore permanent prosperity. I cannot Jest satisfied until this is accomplished, and free-trade principkes (which are our right) established. Wishing you health anus success in the cause you so nobly espouse, I am, yours truly, I enclose a paper containing a partial account of some serious disturbances in Staffordshire. I am informed that 5,000 men were to have visited the Paynton col lieries this morning, but they went to Cheadle instead; they may be here any day. They have filled uu one coal-pit with coals that could not be sold ; they say they may as well 6gSt for it as he starved to death. I sent our foreman, James Bain this afternoon, and he has seen some of them They live by in timidating people to supply them with food, as they tramp from place to place in such large bodies. An old collier of ours. named Birch, told Bain that he had gone with the rioters one day. and they had engineers with them, to at p all the engines, or to let men into or out of the pits, &c. The road was filled for seven miles with the rioters. They had beaten some police officers, &c. &c. There are thousands of colliers in this county whose earnings only amowit to a few shillings weekly. They are starving ; and their present wants and distress will be greatly increased by outrages of this kind. 'Things are deplorably bad. (In haste). July 16, 1842. The following hand-bills would show the distress in Coventry, and the meeting convened by the Mayor would show that their cause was progressing . in that city : TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR OF COVENTRY. We, the undersigned, respectfully request that you will con vene a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Coventry, at an early day, to take into consideration the alarming distress prevailing throughout the country, and to determine upon the best course to pursue in the present emergency. JOSEPH CASH, HENRY BROWETT, WILLIAM BROWETT, CHARLES BRAY, GEORGE STRETELY, JOHN HAMPTON, R. &c. &c. &c. Coventry, July 14, 1e42. In compliance with the above respectable and numerously signed requisition, I hereby convene a meeting of the Inha bitants of this City and Neighbourhood, to be holden at the County Hall, on Tuesday, the Wth instant, at twelve o'clock at noon, to take' into' consideration the sleet above-men tioned.

STARVATION I A Public Meeting will be held at the County Coventry at twelve o'clock, on Tuesday, July 19, 1842, to take into cots. sideration the present alarming state of the country! The hope that Parliament would pass some measure to relieve ' the present terrible distress, has proved delusive: being left with out help and without hope, there now remains but one course for the people to pursue, which is, to demand by the irre sistible voice of assembled thousands. the restitution of those rfghts and liberties t , f which a cruel and despotic aristocracy h ave deprived them. Among the Members of the House of Commons, the detail of your wiNtt only excites derision, and these are they who are stylod your :41iresentatires. In the House of Lords, the most 1 rofound :tontempt of your welfare and happiness is displayed : but twenty-one of these hereditary legis lators could be found to vote for an inquiry into the cause of the distress of you and youi" families. Let every man who wishes it, preserve the suffering millions from starvation, be present at the .meeting—let all come fully resolved to bury, in one common grav - .1, all petty differences of opinion, and to unite in one common ca sitse—lei the banner of Complete Suffrage be unfurled—let the pelmyle rally round it : their only remedy is in a full, fair, and free re;re,entation. Let every man, who is not a traitor to his cOuntry's cause, attend this meeting. Let no hall be large enough to hold the assembled thousands. Coventry, July 16, 1842. Dear Sir,—l have deferred replying to yours of the 12th ult., in order that I might send you the result of the exertions that were being made to get up a public meeting. From the enclosed handbills you will see that we have met with the most signal success. It is signed by some of the most influential men in the town. The Mayor has agreed to preside. The universal cry is, what is to be done next ? All seem to agree upon the urgent necessity of taking some decisive course. 'Why do not the League at once declare their belief in the utter hopelessness of obtaining justice from the aristo cracy, and their determination to assist with all their power in agitating the Complete Suffrage question. Purify the Com mons. Let them be in reality the representatives of the people -,-they have been so nominally long enough ; all parties are tired of their misrule. The Commons' House must be made democratic ; the spirit of the age demands it; starving thou• sands demand it. Distress here is increasing—the people are growing exasperated—the aristocracy are drawing down upon themselves the vengeance of injured millions. Let them be ware, in time, ere it be too late. We expect to send one or more Deputies up from the meeting. I originated the meet ing, you may, therefore, suppose that I have plenty to do, which most plead my excuse for not answering your truly ao. ceptable letter sooner.—l am, dear Sir, yours truly, J. B. BROWETT. P. A. Taylor, jun., Esq. The following letter was from a Deputy, who, not being sufficiently accustomed to speaking, sent it to him (the Chairman) that it might be read at the meeting - , as a report from his district : Finsbury-street, St. Luke's, July 16, 1842. TO r. A. TAYLOR, ESQ. CHAIRMAN OF THE ANTI•CORN-I,AW COIZVX I gENCE. My dear Sir,—Being little aeeustomed to public speaking, I can scarcely trust myself to address ateandience so highly intel ligent as the Conference over which you so ably preside. I should not, however, be doing justice to my own feelings, nor the feelings of my constituents, were I to remain silent upon a subject in which the life or death of millions are concerned. The parishes of St. Luke, and St. Leonard, Shoreditch, from which I am deputed, in company with several other gentlemen, are two of the most populous parishes in the metropolis. We are a mixed multitude, engaged in almost every trade and' call ing that can be named. This will be seen by the fact that, on our large committee, we have men engaged in forty different occupations; and one and all de clare that, during • all their ' experience in business, , never do they remember trade so bad: az,d money so scarce. Some, who three years ago, paid AOL wages, new geared) . PRY 101. ; and those who, twelve months bark, rook 201• over the counter weekly, now only take four or fiveoots. Others declare that some days from ten to twenty men, INV.? r first-rate workmen, call at their shops, asking for empiof them .:vmen!, and offering to work for any wages, however small, to keep,their families from starving. One gentleman, who lets a conaCr able number of small houses out in single rooms, reports that more than half his rooms are empty, and those who do occupy his rooms are often unable to pay any rent, and many take flight in order to get clear even of one week's rent, not, he observes, from dishonest motives, but from shear poverty. butchers state that full one third less meat is consumed by their regular customers than they consumed two or three years ago. Bakers estimate a falling off of more than a fourth in the sale of their bread to their regular customers. Many parents who sent their children to boarding schools in the country have withdrawn them, being no longer able to pay for their education. :Numbers who formerly occupied a whole home, now let out part of it to enable them t• pay their rents. Indeed, wherever I turn I behold ruin and poverty staring me in the face. If something be not done, and done speedily, too, God only can tell what will be the result. I will not conceal from the Conference the tact that we have determined never again to petition the present House of Commons. We are convinced it would be madeess to do so, and believe the remedy for our grievances lies amongst our selves. We are ready to fall in with any well concerted plan that the League may determine upon, in order to free ourselves from this almost Egyptian bondage. That Heaven may smile upon our efforts, is the wish of your humble servant, ALEX: RENFREW SHAW. He (the Chairman) announced, on Friday last, that he expected in town the Provost of Paisley, and one of the Baillies. Provost Henderson was in the room, and be would now address the meeting.--(Loud cheers.) Provost HENDERSON then addressed the meeting and said-that he did not appear before them as a delegate, but he came to London to represent to the Secretary for the Home Department, and the other Members of Government, and to the London Relief Committee, the desperate condition of the inhabitants of Paisley, and the difficulty of the Magistrates to maintain the peace of the town.—(llear, hear.) When he arrived in London, he saw the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, who thought proper to blame him for leaving the town, over which he was placed, in its present state. He told him he should have remained at his post, and, in the prospect of outrage, ought not to have left the town. He (Mr. Henderson) re plied he was taking the best mode to preserve order, in corning to London to represent the state of the place ; and that it was from the hope derived from such repre sentation that the peace was preserved.—(Hear, hear.) Paisley was a large manufactunng town, but had been little noticed from its proximity to the snore important town of Glasgow, till lately, when it acquired a miserable notoriety, from the amount of its distress. It contained a population of from 50,000 or 60,000 persons, and was largely engaged in the manufacture of the finer branches of hand-loom weaving. They had no improvements in machinery which would cause the distress.—(Hear, hear.) On the contrary, whatever were the improve ments, they rather increased the trade.—(Hear, hear.) The great leading cause of the distress Was that they were deprived of their markets, and particulary of America, which had plenty of grain to give them in ex chan(r'e for their manufactures.—(Hear, hear.) The manufactures of Paisley were of a fancy description, and were not purchased by the great mass of society. in 1819, in 1826, and in 1837, Paisley had suffered from severe depression, and now for twelve months, , while thousands of hands were ready to work, the people , ' were enduring heavy calamities, because they had no markets to which to send their goods. The people there were sober and industrious, moral and religious. They easily imitated what was brought to perfection elsewhere, and made original in ventions themselves. They had built principally by voluntary contributions houses of worsh i p , which were able to contain half the population, which were now greatly . abandoned because the people had no clothing to visit them.—(Heat, bear.) That was the reason they assigned for not coming to the • places of worship. 'two years ag o the town of Paisley , partook of the general revival of trade , and not , a single house was to be . let.acturi W hat wits f the fact now ? Ou t of manufacturing houses to I the amount of fifty - si x, which were under a single in dividual, thirty-six had become bankrupt.---( Hear, hear.) Out of twenty-five where there were two partners, twenty [ had become bankrupt. Out of 106 individuals who were were now bankrupt (Hear, hear.) master manufacturers as partners, or as acting for them was unpare hided for the misery it, , s i e l l , v e -e , s .. , us a:v ( en - a s i i , vi cy fliettal on the manufacturing population, and his convic tion was, that ball as were the horrors of th e I f rl'ill:11 ROO• hition, they hod suffered as severely as if they had gorse through a revolution of the same kind.— (Hear.) He would now thank the meeting for a hearing upon allother point.—(Hear.) In a dditi on to, Vie mi. series with which the people of 'Paisley were afflicted, they were maligned as being lazy, idle, and unwilline , to work ; and the magistrates and pastors of every gio initiation were charged as misusing the public niney In the Houses of Pe e r s an d Commons, at the Home Office, and at th e Treasury, they w ere, ' met with the cry that they had abased the funds in their I ' ln , d ,'' He • - tWk. tl:v..;- apietzet , cryortztlity of 1 C- , laitt=lrgn!:?; the persons wh ,, made- thuse Ch'llV33 I 1 against the Committee of Paisley to make good such i c1 " 1-( 4 . la a public Rioting, vr iii Ow rivss,--(iicar.) ~. .
