Where Associations already exist this will be matter of little difficulty, and, where they do not, nothing more is required than that those who are willing to cn-operate with them in the present important undertaking should assemble, and constitute themselves a Committee, and upon their communicating with the Council of the League, they will be supplied with all the re quisite Papers and Cards. The Council would likewise recom mend that the influence of the Members of the Committee should be exerted to procure the formation of a. Ladies' Local Committee. The duties of the Members of both Committees will be to canvass their friends and neighbours for contributions. The Ladies are especially requested to adopt the practice of the Manchester Ladies' Committee, and proceed from door to door in the prosecution of their labours. The names of the Officers and Members of the Committees must then be forwarded to Manchester for insertion in n Book provided for the purpose. In cases where the formation of a Local Committee is imprac ticable, any individual wishing to co-operate with the Council will, upon application, be furnished with a Card whereon to place his own Subscription and those of his friends. They have likewise prepared a Circular making a special application to in dividuals for contributions to the " Fund," and will be glad to supply the Local Committees, or any of their friends who may desire to make use of them, in cases where a personal applica tion is inconvenient, or this method preferable. With refe. rence to the distribution and return of the Cards, the following regulations have been agreed upon : INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF CARDS. 1. The Council of the League will require the return of all the Cards issued.

December, 1842. JOHN MACKENZIE, Manager. LONDON OFFICE, 7. PALL-MALL. HUGH M'KEAN, Agent. ESTABLISHED 1821; -I. riIHE LONDON MARBLE an d STONE WORKING COMPANY, are enabled with their PAT ENT MACHINERY, to execute Chimney Pieces, Mo numents, Tablets, Slabs for Furniture. and every description of such Work, with an accuracy, rapidity of execution, beauty and durability of Polish, and reduction of cost, which cannot be lbtained elsewhere. The feeling that a thorough alteration is required in the American tariff, and that the people of the United States have yet to take a lesson from the com mercial liberality of this country, seems, by the pre sent American papers, to be spreading more and more. One great matter which is desired. is the ex tension of the right of export to goods phssed through the interior of the country, to Canada on the north,, to Texas on the south, or any other neighbouring people. The laws of England authorising the im portation of almost all sorts of merchandise into Canada, by way of the United State s , are com mended for their liberal 'spirit ; and while the free trade party are willing to believe that the policy of England is to turn away trade from the canal s o f th e United States t o th e St. Lawrence, they say people have no right to grumble while they themselves are diverting trade to a larger amount. Another modifica tion which is desired in the existing code of commer cial law is the introduction of a warehousing system, by which goods may be placed in the Government stores, and remain there without payment of duty till entered for home consumption ; no duty to be paid if' the goods are exported. A permission to the im porters to receive their goods from the ship at once, with liberty to secure the duties by bonds at three and six months, would, it is thought, be a wise pro vision, inasmuch as the present system of cash duties are found exceedingly burdensome to the merchants of the United States, and prevent them from com peting with those of Havannali. The impression alto gether seems to be, that it is the present system alone which hinders the ports of the United States from being depositories of goods from all parts ofthe world intended for re-shipment. The indictment of Colonel Webb is a common topic of discussion among all the American papers, since not only does th e we ll-k nown c h aracter o f the pri soner, as editor of the Morning Courier, render him an object of interest, but the measure of justice with he is threatened is so very severe, that it would seem the judicial authorities are determined to make an example of him, for the general prevention of that habit of duelling which is so prevalent in the. United States. The Colonel is neither indicted for giving nor receiving a challenge, but simply for leaving the State with the intent of giving or receiving one. The law under which he is indicted is as follows : ?he Public are invited to inspect their extensive SHOW ROOMS, containing the largest stock in this country. The Trade supplied with every description of Rough Slab Blocks, or Scantlings; or Blocks sent to the Works cut to order Esher-street,l3elywell-street, Millbank, Westminster. Please to be accurate is copying the Address, to prevent im t'osition, the Company having no connexion with any other establishment but that in Esher -street.

In furtherance of one of the main objects of this Union, viz. that of presenting to every Subscriber a valuable work of art, independent of the prizes, which will range from IW. to 200/. and upwards, according to the extent of the list of Subscribers, the Committee have been fortunate enough to engage the Members o f t h e Etching Club (some of whom are of the Royal Acad emy ) to produce a work on the same plan (bnt on a larger scal e ) as t h e i r esteemed edition of the " Deserted Vil lage." Jt will cons i st of thirteen finished et c hi ngs on ten steel plates, printed on India paper, in an ornamented cover, illustrating a Sele c ti on from the Songs o f S hakspeare, a copy of which thirteen e t c hi ngs (to be ready in January next) w ill, presented in order of p r i or it y , b e to each subscriber of 205., a sum little more th an h alf the price in the usna l mode of pub ication. In this UNION t h e whole of the subscr ib e d fund (excep. the expenses of a d vert i sements and coirespon d eneel will be placed by the Committee in the hands of the Artist and Man of Science, in return for their selected works, the cervices of the Committee being given gratuitously, thus evincing their determination to avoid the charge of seeking their own pecu niary interest, and preventing the possibility of favouritism by the arrangement that every holder of a prize should be left to make his own selection. The prizes will be drawn on the 25th of April next, in the presence of a general meeting of Subscribers. Influential residents in the provincial towns. who are dis posed to become Honorary Agents, will have the kindness to communicate with the Secretary of the Royal Polytechnic In stitution, of whom the Prospectus may be had, and who re ceives Subscriptions. 309, Regent-street, D ecember 9, 1842. 2.

The first object of each Local Commtttee should be to distribute Cards as widely as possible, to take an account of the letter and number on the Card, and the name and ad dress of the party to whom given. 6. Each Committee will, at the first opportunity, elect a Treasurer and Secretary, in order to secure the systematic transaction of its business. " Section 1.

James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great affluence and respectability, and the late Member for Banff shire, John Morison, was the second brother of the subject of this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently i n the West Indies, wher e he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was obliged to leave that country and proceed . to Europe, seeking, from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery and perseverance, ho accomplished his own extraordinary cure. We cannot do better than transcribe the following- interest ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana :" " A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgotten, and world could have reaped no benefit horn my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects produced by the same means .on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that health and old age are within the reach of us all.' " For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch," by his sons and successors, p. 3.

The same property was purchased, at the above mentioned date, for 22,100 dols. Several pal eels of Pennsylvania Stock were offered to public sit;'?, in lots, on the same day, the Governor and Secretary of State being present. These Stocks, which paid dividends in 1841, and which cost 2,925,799 d 015..„ were not to be sold under a price fixed previously. The Executive reserved the right to buy in the stocks on behalf of the State. Of 3,750 shares of the Penn-. sylvania Bank Stock, ten were put up at 50 dots., and not sold. Ten shares, out of 5,233 Philadelphia Bank, were then put up at 65 dols., and not sold. Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank Stock, and Oehryhill Navigation Company, also passed without bids. Penn sylvania and Ohio Canal Company, 90 shares in nine lots, bid up to 46, 59, 60, 69, 72, and 73 dell., when the sale was stopped. Ten shares cf the Colum• bia Bridge were bid in at 81 dols. per share. An un successful attempt was then made to sell some of the "no dividend stocks." For the Peien Canal no sales. Twenty shares of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal were bid in by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, at 20 dol. The sale was the►s adjourned to the Ist of March. We take the above account of the proceedings from the New York He rald, which adds :—" Thus ended the imposing and novel ceremony of the Executive of a sovereign State- putting up its property to sale for the means of paying its debts. Mr. Nicholas Biddle has published a series of letters in the American papers, advonating the doctrines of good faith, and the sacredness of public engagements. He denounces the " repudiators' in the most severe terms. What effect such advice mar have from that notorious person remains to be seen, but we wish the good cause had been in other hands. POST.—The - advertisement of the payment of dividends on the Three per Cent. .Spanish bonds, being for the fourth half year, includes no provision for the payment of the TEasury bonds formerly advertised to be paid off, aid now more than six years overdue. The holders of the said securities, accordingly, repeat their well-founded complaints of the treatment to which they are subjected at the hands of the Spanish Government, as exhibited in their total neglect of those privileged and .preferable obligations. Down to the present day they have never received one farthing of their due, either in interest lor principal, altbdugh the payment of the one and thy other was advertised in the London journals just as that of the dividends on the new Tillie per Cents., a recently accrued debt, is advertised at the present. time ; and the partiality shown in the bUsiness is a very serious aggravation of the more substantial is justice practised upon the holders in the long" and (logged refusal of payment of their legitimate de mands. The interest of the Three per Cent. stock is advertised for payment at the end of the month, but the capital of the debt accrued only at the close of 1840 ; while of the Treasury bills advertised for pay merit by the Ambassador, both principal and interest Were due in 1837. Of course, nothing can be more tantalizing to the sufferers, or more 'fatal to the credit of their oppressors. To all but those who are unfortunately implicated in the heavy losses occasio n ed 13 , 3;' tik aba ndonment of all financial principle and national heittur, the idea of another issue of Treasury paper, which has formed a prominent item. in the ways and means:of the 'lrmance Minister of Spain, is laughed at as the most insuffer able trifling ever heard of, for, with the same class of paper in circulation, six years overdue on the Ist of last month, where, it is asked, can Senors Rull and Calatrava hope to find customers for their new.fabri cations ? They must be the most Quixotic of dreamers. leneral Sancho, the Ambassador, expresses himself fairly towards the holders of the dishonoured bonds. He acknowledges to the fullest extent the preferability of character of the Treasury engagements in ques tion ; the agents do the same ; yet no practical mea sure is adopted for the relief of the parties. SUN.—The business in English Stocks is now so confined to bona fide investments, that a certain steadiness in prices is in a manner secured, and it is expected that unless some very important political event occurs, the large investments of wealthy Cor porations, usually made at the close of the year, will still further strengthen the market. Consols were 931 to 94 for the opening, and Exchequer Bills 50s. to 525. prem. ; but East India Bonds receded to 455. and 48s. prem. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 101 to 101*, being firm ; but Bank Stock was steady but dull at 173. There was a good business done in the Foreign Market, and all the leading securities wore a buoyant appearance. Spanish Active Bonds were at a rise- to 19 and 191, and the Three per Cents. to 241 and 24g. Mexican were also rather buoyant at 311 to 31:1 ; Chilian touched 75, without the Deferred; Brazilian were rather dull at 691, and Portuguese New Five per Cents. at 388 ; the Three per Cents. were 23*. Dutch Two and a Half per Cents. brought .52f to 521. The Share Market does not increase in activity, as there is less doing at Liverpool, but holders con tinue very firm. The bargains transacted have been as follows :—Great - Western Railway were 25 ; the New, .14 ; the Fifths, .5 ; the Birmingham, 99 ; and the South Western, 20/ premium. Brightons were 14*, and South Eastern Scrip, 21 discount. London and Westminster Bank were 11- premium. The Produce Markets were generally rather quiet. Further sales of tea are declared for to-morrow. THE GREAT GALE on LAKE ERIE. A furious gale took place on Lake Erie on Friday last and the night following, accompanied by a driv ing fall of snow, which rendered the atmosphere ao thick as to obstruct the vision at a few y'ards' distance. The weather 'was very cold withal, and we fear the damage done on the fake was very grgaste The Bu Palo Commercial of Saturday evening recounts the follow ing disasters within a few miles of that port " The schooner Jefferson, Captain Dougall, Went ashore at six o'clock last night, about three miles above Buffalo light house, and is a total wreclf,,at tended with a melancholy loss of life—one entire and five children; together with a fa y mvoiulyn husband, sbd woman, an - wife,an done of the men belonging to the vessel having perished ! Captain Dougall, from whom we have the painful recital, says that about two hours after his vessel beached, the companion -way was Washed off, and the children and young woman drowned in the cabin and forecastle. A portion of the crew had got ashore .in (0t- of help, and were endeavouring to rescue the :family. The mate wrapped his overcoat around the woman, and tried to keep her warm by walking hei to and fro ots the beach, but she soon became exhatiated and inca pable of motion, and was placed in the boat which had washed up, where she died in a shot time. Her husband was delirious on reaching shore, and attempted to escape into the swamp near by, but perished within a short distance. One of the hands belonging to the vessel, named James Bruce, got into the swamp, and was likewise lost. The Jefferson waif bound for that port., with a cargo of 500 barrels of salt, 40 tons of iron, and some merchandise, which will be mostly lost. The crew succeeded about mid-night in getting on board the brig Olive Richmond, beached below them, in a greatly exhausted state. When our reporter reached the vesselthis forenoon, the figure of the young woman above-mentioned was discovered standing in an upright posture, in the fore castle companion way, frozen stark and stiff, with hands partly raised in an imploring posture, and her eyes fixed with a cold and stony gaze upon the Shore. Of the veFsels heard from, eleven in number, all have been wrecked, in a distance of some twenty miles from Buffalo, which is the extent of the coast heard from ; what the effect has been beyond is un known, but it is apprehended will proVe most fearful: The steamers Great Western and Wisconsin, from the upper lakes, and due at Buffalo on'Thursday, had not arrived. The Canal is closed at Rochester and westward. GALE ON LAKE ONTARIO.--A letter just received from Oswego, dated Nov. 19, says— " We are in the midst of one of our most tremen dous westerly gales. A schooner, froin mismanage ment, has just been driven on the east bar, within the piers, and must be lost. I never saw a more prolgious sea running." Fureher advices 'we fear will swell - the tide of suf fering for days -yet. No steam-boats had arrived down the lake for 24 hours. We learn verbally that the Erie Canal, as far east as Rochester, closed with ice on Saturday night—doubtless from the effect of the snow fall. fear that by this time the Canal i nearly closed throughout, greatly to the disappoint. meat ,and loss of the mercantile community, who have nowrinillions worth of produce .embarked on it, or awaiting transportation the wrong side of Albany. The water rose five feet in Buffalo Harbour, and the Rochester packet of Friday night had not reached Buffalo on Saturday at two P.M. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 16.--:-This - day Dr. Col quhoun, Charge d'Affaires for the , Hanse Towns, takes his departure hence. He has just concluded a commercial treaty with the Porte on behalf of his Government, and is now bound to Athens to nego tiate a similar treaty with the Greek Cabinet. Con sidering he is not yet seven-and-twenty, it is naturally thong* somewhat remarkable, and exceedingly cre ditable to his ability, that this young diplomatist should alreadvilave successfully ne go ti a t e d treat i es of c ommerce with Periiir and the Porte, and be now, as I have just said, on his way to Greece for the purpose of concluding a treaty of the same nature between the Hanseatic Republic and the Government of King Otho. Horace Walpole tells the annexed anecdote - of a humane jailer in Oxfordshire, who made the,follow ing application to one of his condemned prftners " My good f r i en d , I have a little favour to ask i tif you, which, from your obliging. disposition I doubt not you will r ea dil y grant. You are ordered for exe cution on Friday week. I have a particular engage ment on that day ; if it makes no difference to you, would you say next Friday instead ? " I
