On ALTERATION FOR WINTER TRAINS. and after TUESDAY NEXT, the Ist of November, there will be an alteration in the Trains. Ile 4 15 lo n g T ra i n, from Taunton, will start at 3 15; and from Bristol at 5 o'clock ; and from Cirencester at 5 40 ; ar ming at Paddington at half-past 9 o'clock in the evening. The latest evening Train, from Taunton, for Passengers to 136001 and Bath, and for Goods, will leave Taunton at 5 15, in stead of 6 30. i V The er under m en ti oned Tra i ns will be discontinued during the int ever-. deformed the statute book—(Cheers and laughter)—these new lights, who shed their radiance over dark intellects, will tell you that the evils we deplore come of .machinery and its too productive powers.—Great laughter.) They will tell you that the Creator had invested mind with powers destructive of itself—(Cheers and laughter)—that the more the intellect expands, and the nearer it approaches to per fection, the condition of the bulk of nations must of necessity become worse.—(Great laughter.) This is the pith and marrow of the famous argument of "over production."—(Cheers.) The calculations of our modern Cassios, who consume the midnight oil when hungry children have wept themselves to sleep, bring them to the conclusi on th a t th ese di s t resses are the consequences of the triumph of mind over matter— the causes which genius has inflicted on a nation.-- (Hear, hear)—which was happy in the days of the distaff, and knew no sorrow till the mule and the spin. ping jenny were invented. (Great laughter and cheers.) And to prove their prophecies and uphold their theory, they sustain laws which shut us out of the markets of the world; and when they have de prived machinery of fair play, turn round and say— " Behold the ruin it has brought !" Over production! Certainly, if we narrow the range of human action by the paltry boundaries of class interests—if an area of a square mile were enclosed by a wall, and you were to abandon it to families, the time would soon ar rive when the tailor and shoemaker, and !the builder And the smith, would all raise the cry of "over pro • duction."—(Hear, _hear.) The wickedness of our monopolists has closed against us the doors of America and a great part of Europe to British skill, and well may the pent-up inhabitants of this island exclaim against over production—though ragged and naked, with unfurnished walls and famished stomachs.— (Applause.) Nothing less than the earth had G o d given - to , the children of men—nothing less than f ree access• to all its people and all its productions will meet the exigencies of the case.' This is free trade, or equity applied to commerce ; and this simple remedy would terminate the monopolist's watchword, " ov er production," at once.—(SLoud cheers.) RICHARD COBDEN, t;sq„ rose at the conclusion of Mr. Thom son's powerful address, to move a vote of thanks to the Hon. Members for Bolton and Bury, and to Mr. Thompson for their addresses. After alluding to the fact that Mr. Thompson was about to quit this country for a time to sail for British India, Mr. Cobden said he had observed in that day's Times a letter signed " One in the Secrets of the League," in which the writer stated that the inten tion of the new League fund was to contest Parliamentary elections. This writer stated that the greater part of the money raised by the ladies' bazaar had been spent in the Stockport election.—(Laughter.) Now, unfortunately for the man in the secrets of the League, he had made a bad selectio n o f hi s b orough, for there was hardly a man, woman, or child i n Stock port but could have told him that when he was re turned for that borough it was not Richard Cobden that carried the election, it was the decisive fiat of the people against monopoly.—(Cheers.) They were de termined to vote for free trade ; and not only was the election carried without the expense of one farthing, but 50,0001. could not have returned a monopolist. —(Cheers.) He should not have alluded to the foolish letter referred to, but there was nothing like nipping the tactics of the enemy in the bud, for as they could not prevent the League getting the fund, they thought they might be expected to attribute all sorts of mo tires, which it would be their policy at once to meet by a prompt contradiction.—(Cheers.) MARI. PHILIPS, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried byacclamation, and the meeting soon after. war& separated. No. 15,657. MONDAY R *k . V , , S UN I OCTOBER 31, 1842. PRICE sd. .

SAINT JAMES'S THEATRE. G RAND PUBLIC CONCERTS. CHORAL and INSTRUMENTAL. question was asked me at the aristocratic clubs, " Can this be true ? Do they really believe they are able to raise 50,000/r And the answer I gave was, "Do not they say so ? And they are in the habit of doing whit they purpose to do."—(Loud and prolonged applause.) The CHAIRMAN now rose; and introduced to the meeting G. Thompson, Esq., who, he said, was abbut to sail tbr India, and would take this opportunity of delivering his farewell address. He confessed it was a matter of great pain to him, as he was sure it would be to every one present, however they might, feel in terested in the mission he was about to undertake, to lose Mr. Thompson at this juncture, when his ser vices were of so much importance to the cause in which they were engaged.—(Applause.) G. THOMPSON, Esq., then came forward amidst most enthusiastic cheering. He said—l am extremely happy that I have once more an opportunity of ad dressing an audience in Manchester and ofexpressing my firm attachment to a cause which I deeply regret I shall not be able for some time to labour for, in consequence of being called, as I think, and so my friends around me think, to pursue the path of duty in another direction. 'Sir, there is one point of view in which this cause may be regarded, ,which to me appears an important one, and as•you hare called upon me to address this meeting, I shall make a few remarks upon it—l mean the eon nection between the present appalling distresses of the country and the acts of the Govern ment, and between both of these and the morals of the people.—(Hear, hear.) It is one of the most in .. ' you to mendicity or the poor-house. And now, that we have proved our love to you by first obtaining the bread that perishes, we beseech you to give an equal credit for sincere zeal for your welfare in urging you to seek the better and abiding substance which is in heaven.—(Cheers.) Would such effects, backed by such services, be without effect ?—(" No, no.") In some cases they would, forman is not only wicked, but ungrateful; but in many instances I . am con fident that untold results of. goodness would follow the labours of the ministers in the cause of hu manity, not to say religion, too.—(Great applause.) And what can be a finer theme for any man placed in society in this world than the morality of government. The theory of law is but an elaboration of the principles of justice applied to society. But the practice of law is, for the most part, tyranny and fraud—supported by the wealth of the factious, and the ignorance and imbecility of the people.—(Cheers.) Whence come wars and rumours of wars, but from an invasion somewhere of th e r i g ht s of political jus . - tice ? Whence the wide-spread cruelties and oppres sions of India—the horrors of the slave-trade--the wicked assaults on China—the perfidious aggressions at Caubul—but from the same cause ? If one nation, and that Great Britain, could be brought to feel the importance of making morality and politics synoni- MOW, what would be the influence throughout the world ? Then, indeed, our missionaries would not be thought satirists of their own nation—our statutes and the Bible would be but different parts of the same body of truth.—(Hear, hear.) Our literature would be purged of much of its pollution, of false hoods; and the halls of justice, which are now too often clothed with tales and proofs of might over coming truth, would be redolent of another spirit, and to them the persecuted and the poor would turn with an eagerness similar to that with which the homicide sought the safety bench in the cities of refuge of old. —(Applause.) I have spoken, and spoken freely, of ministers of religion. I have spoken with unfeigned reverence for their office, and have rather thought _to exalt it than debase ESTABLISHED 1821.

QIIIICO'S ESSENCE OF LINSEED is an in valuable remedy for COUGHS, COLDS, INFLU ENZA, HOARSENESS, ASTHMA, and INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION. Price Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per Bottle. From tine immeraor;al Linseed has been proverbial for its virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This Essence contains all the medicinal properties of Linseed in a highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinals and herbs, producing the most certain and e ffi cac i ous reme d y for Coughs which has yet been discovered. Children's Coughs, as recent one; in Adults, will be re moved by a few doses of Simco's Essence o f Linseed (frequently by the first) ; old standing Chronic Coughs may require per severance, but they ultimately yield to its dirative powers. Asthmatic persons, who previously had not been able to lie down in bed, hr:e received the utmost benefit, and others suf fering from Influenza have been speedily cured by this valUable medicine.

It was held in the Picture Gallery, Newall's-buildings. George Wilson, Esq., took the chair, and on his right were seated Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. for Stock port, and Richard Walker, Esq., M.P. for Bury. Dr. Bowring, M.P. for Bolton and Mark Philips, Esq., M.P. for Manchester, and George Thompson, Esq., sat on the left of the Chairman. Amongst the company present were :—Alderman Walker, ' Alder man Brooks, William Rawso n Esq., Henry Rawson, Esq., William Lockett, E sq .; Charles'Cobden, Esq., T. Woolley, Esq., J., Corry, 'Esq., and Samuel Lees, Esq. There . were a great number of ladies present. Richard Walker, Esq., and Dr. Bowring, had been specially invited for the occasion, and The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by intro ducing the'former gentleman to the meeting. RICHARD. WALKER , Esq., M.P., then cam e f orwar d and was loudly applauded. He said—Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen—lf I felt convinced that I had ability sufficient to discuss this question—and I con fess 1 have not, for lam rather accustomed, in the House of Commons, to give..siient votes:than - make speeches—(Applause)-- should labour under some embarrassment ; but, knowing that I have no new argument to advance, I only bring with me one recommendation, which is that of a fixed determina tion to co-operate with the Anti-Corn-law League in any strenuous, effort which they may choose to make for the purpose of removing from our statute-book that most obnoxious law, which is repugnant to every sound principle of commercial legislation, opposed to common sense, fraught with injustice, and, I believe in my heart, detrimental to every class in the com munity.—(Applause.) You have, within your own precincts, a power of eloquence so commanding, that it is quite unnecessary for me at any length to dilate upon this question. It is better understood by you than by myself. lam quite confident of that; but, at the same time, knowing that your treasury is so full of facts that cannot be refuted, that my mite can scarcely be acceptable, yet I hope you will be convinced, by my ready acceptance of your invita tion, with which I felt myself greatly honoured, that I am ready to bear my share of the obloquy that may attach to the League, which is endeavoured to be cast upon them, I trust unavailingly, by those who are in the interest of monopoly.—(Applause.) Before I go into the state of our own districts, I will just advert to a correspondence which has lately taken place between one of your lecturers and a Noble Duke.—(Hear, hear.) I know that Noble Duke to be a very honourable and straightforward person ; and I believe he only states what he believes to be true. He is, however, in my opinion, greatly mis• taken in the view which he takes of this question ; and I think, when the people are well instructed, the people of this country will unite as one man in con demnation of this law, both in its spirit and its ten dency, in its principles and its details.—(Applause.) The Noble Duke is a Legislator, and consequently a public man ; therefore we cannot be indifferent to the votes which he gives in his place in Parliament, nor to the opinions which guide his votes; but I be lieve him to be very much mistaken upon this ques tion, and he will find, ere long, that the people will arouse from their lethargy, and will endeavour to erase from the statute book a law which was passed by partial legislators for their own benefit, to the detriment of every other class.—(Applause.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, I will endeavour to state to you what is the position in which our unhappy manufacturing district is placed at present. We have seen, within the last five years, that ,our trade has greatly declined; the capital of our merchants and manufacturers has been daily diminishing; the people are half-fed and half-employed ; the Poor-rates in our manufacturing towns have increased three or four fold—(Hear, hear)—our workhouses are crowded with inmates—(Hear, hear)—the savings of the frugal and industrious, which were intended to supply the wants of old age, are exhausted to supply the ,pressing wants of the day. The polished furniture of our arti sans is exchanged for food, or distrained for rent to their landlords ; their decent Sunday clothing in the pawnshops ; our shopkeepers behind their counters wanting customers; in short, we have nearly a de struction of the social system. And what must re sult from this state of things ? What we have seen will occur again ; the disruption of social order, the Magistrates of the district expecting momentary out. breaks the peace only preserved by the presence of the military power, our gaols crowded with rioters, Special Commissions in every manufacturing county, ships freighted with transports to the antipodes— (Hear, hear)—and pauperism, instead of being the exception, will, if not intercepted, become the rule:—(Hear, hear)—and the efforts of the League during the last session of Parliament prevailed upon the Government to make some change in the Corn-law. That change was, in my mind, of very limited extent ; it was so small a mercy that I believe we were so ungracious as not even to be thankful for it.—(Applause.) The vicious system of the sliding scale and the average has been retained, thereby limiting our supplies, as usual, to the nearer ports of Europe, and denying us those supplies which we would have in abundance from the fertile plains of America—(Hear, hear)—where our clothing and our manufactures of various kinds would be received as a boon in exchange for their own commodities.— (Applause.) To this system of policy we may attri bute the hostile tariff of the United States of Ame- rica—(Hear, hear)—and if this vicious policy be pursued, we may expect the same retribution from the Brazilian Government, provided we do not re ceive, as we ought to do, their coffee and sugar on fair and equitable terms.—(Applause.) I myself have no feeling. against the present 'government, provided that Government will do its duty to the people.— (Applause.) My votes have always been given in Parliament with the view of benefiting mankind, and not of benefiting a party.—(Loud applause.) I shall continue to pursue that course. For, Sir Robert Peel, as an individual, I have a very high personal regard. I knew him in his early days ; I knew his father. It was his father who gave the first impetus to the industry of the district in which I live—(Applause)—and his exalted talents and private worth have conferred distinction upon the town of his birth, which town I have had the honour to represent since the passing of the Reform Bill.— (Applause.) But I frankly confess I can place con fidence in no Government which pursues a policy which I conceive to be so directly opposed to the real welfare and happiness of the community at large.— (Applause.) The people are now in a state of de spondence, without help, and without hope; and, ex cept we change our system, I see no immediate pro spect of their distresses being relieved. I approve greatly of the plans of the League, and of their pro jects in endeavouring to act upon distant constituen cies, in order that Members may be sent by them whose views shall be favourable to those of the League. My friends, there is a very wide field for the exertions of the League in this our own county.—(Hear, hear.) If the repeal of the Corn-laws depended upon the Members sent by the county of Lancaster and the boroughs within it we could not carry the question. —(Hear, hear.) With what face, then, can we go amongst agricultural constituencies, even when we can not in our county return a majority of Members fa vourable to the repeal of this law—in this county, whose interests are so vitally important, and we so deeply affected by the operation of the Corn -laws ? (Hear, hear.) Why, my friends, our duty is to work well in our own field. If we cannot make converts, let us till the ground and prepare it, and sow good seed ; and when a general election arrives, which of course it will do in process of time—how long it may be first I cannot tell—we shall reap an abundant har vest, which will amply compensate you for all the labour and money you have expended in effecting the abolition of this abominable law.—(Applause.) Dr. BOWRING, M.P., then rose, and was loudly cheered. He said : Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle men, I think I can address to you some words of con gratulation, some words of encouragement, which will induce you to continue to move forward upon that path upon which you have entered.—(Hear.) I said that we had progressed ; and wherever I look around rne, I see marks of that progress. Sir Robert Peel nimfself is under the despotism of necessity ; he has proclaimed principles, to which he, and whoever fol lows him, must give effect. He has become a lecturer on political economy in the House of Commons ; and Sir Robert Peel must carry out those doctrines which he has declared to be true.—(Applause.) I was told yesterday-, in London, that already as many as forty Members had determined to desert Sir Robert Peel, that they were already alarmed at the concessions he had made to public opinion.—(Applause.) But I am told that Sir Robert Peel himself, and certain friends of Sir Robert Peel, begin to anticipate, that for every one who shall desert him for the good he is doing, he will receive the addition of two from our side.—(Ap nlause, Like my Hon, Friend, I am not bound to the car of any Minister, but that Minister I will follow farthest who shall do most for the people.—(Ap plause.) The minds of mankind are open, from the highest to the lowest, to receive new impres sions. Travelling again in that part of England in which I was born, I mingled a good deal with the rustic and rural population, and I found, from the first to the last among them, nothing but the heaviest vituperations directed against the present Prime Mi nister. The language they held was this, to use their own phraseology—`.Drat him, he's worser than Lord John ; Lord John only touched the corn, but he has touched the bullocks. He's worser than Lord John, and sorry we are that we ever brought him into power." —(Applause and laughter.) It is my belief that Sir Robert will listen to much such language in the com ing session of Parliament. It will perhaps came tr, him in more polished phraseology, and be repeated with every sort of courtesy. But the matter will be discussed. Bad as the Whigs were, he is worse than the Whigs, and he must, for his own salvation, go further, than they dared to do.—(Applause.) Some of his agricultural friends, however, have already dis covered that their fears were somewhat e xaggerated, and that there is not so much ground f or a pprehension as they supposed with reference ,to the inroad of fo reign cattle. Sir John Tyrrell aas. assured the Essex farraers4that-the ~beef of -America is bad; that the park is un p wlafahlo I earl chat the sheep aro made u of only skin andi wool.—(Applause and laughter.) Gentlemen, the commercial mind is expanding; it is becoming greater—it is becoming too great for its fetters; it must burst them—it must be emancipated. —(Applause.) Commerce will as certainly get rid of its chains as ever the slave did, for the commercial principle is greater than the slave, and its triumph will be greater.—(Applause.) Among the great ser vices which the League has done, I will venture to refer to those many important collateral questions which have been agitated in consequence of the per petual references made to the burden of the Corn-laws. How many great principles have sparkled out of these debates ! How much has public attention been di rected to free trade in the abstract, to the pacific principle as connected with the development of trade, to the vicious character of our taxation, to the ques tion of wages, to the improvement of machinery ! Upon all light has been thrown, and you, who were charged spe , lially with the guidance of one important truth, have given birth and circulation to hundreds, and have brought light into every portion of the field of commercial and political inquiry.—(Applause.) If you like, we will trace the progress of things. Since the great work of Adam Smith, the most important fact that took place was the presentation of a free-trade pe tition in the year 1820. That petition, I believe, was written by Mr. Tooke, and it was presented to the House of Commons by the present Lord Ashbur ton.—(Applause.) The next important step in the interests of free-trade was the publication of the " Ca techism of the Corn-laws," by my Hon. and Gallant Friend, Colonel Thompson.—(Applause.) I have seen with delight that the League and the country have begun justly to value the eminent services of that distinguished and excellent man—a man, bound as I am to him by ties more than brotherly, of whom I shall not venture to speak as I otherwise would ven ture to do. But, my friends, I assure you, a mind beating with a higher and a nobler benevolence, an intellect more trained by philosophy and beneficence, exists not ; and I trust that this country will, ere long, have the advantage of seeing that gallant man in the place which he ought to occupy, fighting the battles of free-trade in the Senate of his country.—(Loud ap plause.) His name, I believe, is familiar to you all; but his multitudinous services, his generous devotion, his, pecuniary sacrifices, are known but to few.— (Hear, hear.) Then the next most magnificent step forward was the establishment of the Anti-Corn-law League—(Applause)—at whose birth,' had the honour of being present—(Applause)—whose christeni ng I also witnessed ; and I believe I can claim for myself the suggestion of the name it bears.—(Hear.) I have o mi t seen that League grow up in goodly proportion, standing erect in power and in majesty, equal to the great work it has undertaken; and I salute it with an " All hail."—(Applause.) Next in co-operation and in advancement of the same principles, came out the Report of the Import Duties' Committee. — ( Hear, hear.) When the motion for that Committee was made in the House of Commons, nobody anticipated such important consequences from the inquiry. The first step of my honourable friend, a man again, whose services are greater than any l anguage o f mine can tfib d he e r els s describe, rnvmi. believed movement, v, that Rhimela inquiries noi Hume—(Applause)—when f tivfheoawwould Cdmnbd e proveded, indeed, saw vt tohi at stimportancevhileh e le demonstration b made people ;eopf the elwye fi of this country were paying an i n di rec t tax of fifty millions, a great part of which.was a penalty for the folly of their ancestors, a still greater sum than fifty millions was taken from them in th e d ar k, by indirect taxation, by monopolies, the hand of the pilferer being altogether concealed.—(Applause.) The Report of the Import Duties' Committee, was ; indeed, a grain of mustard-seed, which has grown up to a great tree, so great, so magnificent, that we are all of us delighted to shelter ourselves under its branches. We have planted a goodly t ree , an d you have watered it ; and Sir Robert Peel has been shaking that tree, ''' and gathering some of its matured and healthy fruits.—(Appl ause. ) Now, the power of introducing most important changes is in our own hands. I know that we ca nno t di rec tly force a foreign nation to alter its tariff, but we can do so indirectly. Let us buy.—(Applause.) Let us buy, and we shall find people to sell ; a n d f rom t h e momen t we find a man to sell , he'll take care to pay himself, otherwise he would give us whathe proposes to sell.— (Applause.) I was very much struck with an ad dress which was presented from the poor and suffer ing weavers of Lyons to the Chambers of France on the subject of free trade. I always refer to Lyons with feelings of interest, because Lyons, like Manches ter, has given a noble example. Th e s ilk trade of France being the most important of her manufactures, and the least protected, is undoubtedly the most flou rishing; and the city of Lyons has always lent its in fluence to the attempts which have been made to emancipate the commerce of France. A petition which came from the weavers of Lyons, began with these emphatic words :—" We are poor, we are ignorant ; but, notwithstanding our poverty, and notwithstand ing our ignorance, every one of us feels that a nation that wants to sell must consent to buy."—(Loud applause.) These principles I said be fore are making progress, progress everywhere. A few days ago I happened to be in the company of that most illustrious man, Dwarganauth Tagore, a man who is a prince among merchants, and a merchant among princes. I took an opportunity of ascertaining his opinions on free trade, and he said, after remark ing on the anxiety to maintain the monopolies of the East Indies, after they had opposed that of the West, " But I observe :that everywhere the same state of things exists; one man has protection because his interest is small, and wants much ; another has pro tection because his interest is large, and therefore deserves protection on account of its importance.— (Laughter.) One man will have protection because he is connected with weakness, and th a t requ i res assistance ; another, because his monopoly is assoc i a t e d with strength, and where there is strength it o u ght not to be neglected. It is the same thing ev er y w h ere , in the East and in the West." But, happily, if th e story of monopoly is the same , the interests of truth are the same.—(Applause.) I-dare say that many of those around me have read an exceedingly i n t eres ti ng book which has been lately published by Charles Dickens, whose tact is so exquisite, and whose bene volence and whose sympathies are thro wn over so wide a field of thought and act ion. Have you read his account of the factories of Lowell ?—(Hear.) Of the manner in which they are dressed —ass oc i a t e d even with elegance, of the piano on which they play, of the libraries which circulate among the m , of the periodical in which they write?—(Applause.) I wish the working peopleof England would study that affecting picture, ari d as k them selves whether thi s state of felicity is owing to any impediment put upon the improvement of machinery, i to any "T en -h ours Factory Bill," to any interference in the question of wages. Dr. Bowring then expatiated. n praise of the pacific principle. He characterised commercial wars, such as those in Affghanistan and China, as abs ur d and wicked. He eulogised the mission of Lord Ash burton, and its happy termination, and rema r k e d upon the baleful effects of Lord Abinger s late charge, an d was glad that he had received castigation. He ex pressed himself further that our system of taxation required change, and he dwelt with pleasure upon Miss Martineau's refusal of the pension proffered her. Dr. Bowring then concluded in these words :—I did, indeed, rejoice in the formation of this . League; every measure you have taken seems to have been crowned with success ; every day you have grown greater a n d more terrible. Your last move is a majestic one. (Applause.) It has startled, it has staggered, it has stunned the monopolists.—(Applause.) "Fifty thou sand pounds," say they, "from Manchester, from the men of Manchester, who always do what they pro mise to do, and more than they, - promise ! There is no hope, no salvation for us; —(Applause.) The the loves and fears of far-off strangers—the dreams of his neighbours—the fall of a thunderstorm, or the song of a ballad-hawker, are all elements in the causes that collaterally affect the morality of our nature. — (Hear.) Over that, however, and a thousand other coadjutant forces, the will of man should, and can exert a presiding potency, and an all-subordinate con trol. The power to do this constitutes part of our moral obligation ; the omission to exercise this power —a power of which we are all conscious—is " the head and front of our offending." Perhaps there is nothing that can be named next to the power of domestic life, that operates on our morals with such uniform emphasis as the laws under which we live.—(Hear.) Let me illustrate this by reference to circumstances around us. Poverty is, it is well known, when expressive, in most instances the mother of crime.—(Hear, hear.) If, therefore, the laws of a country doom the greater part of its people to a state of poverty, they become permanent "ministers of sin"—(Hear, hear) —and as far as they have this tendency, they are chargeable with the guilt of immorality.—(Applause.) What an appalling mass, then, of antagonist power are the governments of:the world The anathemas uttered in Paradise t thest s ocofnthtaeinebdantihsheeed paleme r n e ts- ntsof inimical t our race.the m But,6 ala influence of most bodies of human law is ult:tnately 03-a s interests of re ruinous to the character of the people for whose go vernment they were framed. An immoral law is se minal revolution ; and, like all other seminal powers, requires only that time and circumstances should ela borate the mighty mischief.- Hence the decline of for mer empires. Assyria, 4reece, Rome, Carthage, where are they ? And the same cause will precipitate, if not counteracted, our own fall. Immoral laws generally begin their history by creating false wealth, and false standands of excellence and power—which again become the seeds of other evils, and work the ruin of the State. Take the subject of poverty, in connec tion with the spread of religion. A greater obstacle to the spread of religious truth, and its influences on the hearts of the people of this country (apart from the natural indisposition of the human mind to the reception of peculiar doctrines), does not exist, than the excessive and wide-spread destitution of the people. —(Loud cheers.) Take, for example, the small num ber of the poorest of the people, who attend the va rious places of religious worship. To say nothing of the sense of shame which keeps them back—or their inability to pay pew rents—or to leave their Sabbath contributions behind them. 'How is it possible, even in well-regulated minds, to disabuse the heart of care that has already become familiar with the pangs of hunger ?—(Hear, hear.) Religion commands con tentment with some, but surely not with every de gree of indigence—or with indigence by whatsoever cause brought about. God has designed all his crea tures should labour; but he certainly has not designed that they should starve as their reward.--(Cheers.) In dustry is necessary to religion ; but where industry has no labour, how (in ill-educated minds, at least) is the assertion that " Godliness is profitable to all things, and has the promise of this life as well as of that which is to come," to be made compatible with compulsory mendicity ? The poor naturally interrogate, "Is it of God that we live on nettle porridge sprinkled with meal, while the aristocracy, who are no more than we his creatures, squander more in the gorgeous liveries of their saddle-horses and in the splendid kennels and good food of their hounds, than we can procure by in cessant toil and mechanical skill ?"—(Applause.) In vain does the preacher enjoin contentment to such questioners, or point them to their inalienable free hold in heaven. The range of evangelical truth has no reply to hunger but " Work with your hands, that ye may eat that which is good." But poverty bewails, "No man hath hired us." To the rich, the mi nister is enjoined to say, " If thou seest thy- brother have need, and shuttest up the bowels of thy compassion, how dwelleth the love of God in thee ?" But, for the most part the admonition is as unheeded as the ambiguous ravings of the Pythoness. What is the preacher's alternative ? Either to take the side of the poor and demand justice from the Government, and thus drive the rich from their pews by what in re venge they will soon stigmatise as " political preach ing ; ' or, by passing over the sacred claims of the population, sunken to beggary, by a few words of cheap condolence, thus for ever lose their ears and their hearts.—(liear.) This, we are sorry to say, is the alternative which many have chosen. We are the judge of none; but we cannot escape the con viction that the pulpit has lost much of its power over the masses of the people, from the coy and reluctant advocacy with which it has taken up this cause. — (Loud cheers.) Sir, let me not be supposed as at all sympathising with the spirit, and still less with the acts of some who have stood forward to aid the cause of political regeneration. Whatever is alien in temper or conduct from the precepts and genius of the Gospel, I would and do condemn. But am I, therefore, blind to the shortcomings and delinquencies of those who ought to be and might be, from their holy sphere, the expounders and champions of political morality ? Far from it. I charge upon their negligence and their time-serving, those evils in the shape of violence and tumult, which attach to a movement which is coldly and scornfully left to be managed by those who are not possessed of their influnce, their education, or their wisdom. Look at the influence ministers ex erted upon the emancipation question.—(Applause.) It was said, and not without reason, that the cause was carried by Quakers and dissenting ministers. Did they impair their usefulness by so doing ?—(Hear.) Far from it. They now point, with self-exultation, to their labours and triumphs in the cause. Tell me what has given the Baptist and other missionaries the mighty hold they have upon the affections and confi dence of the population of the West India Islands— a power , by means of which the missionaries, and not the soldiers—the Gospel, and not the proclamations of Government, have moulded the hundreds and thousatads of swarthy and new-born freemen to the obedience and reverential regard for the law ?—(Applause.) What ! Why the knowledge that these men stood boldly by them in their bonds—(Cheers)—rebuked the oppressor—demanded justice—took the spoiling of th e ir own goods joyfully, and fought, like Michael, till the fell dragon of slavery went howling from the fair islands of the Carribean Sea to find a shelter—but only for a time—under... the proud walls of the Ame rican capital.—(Cheers.) The struggle would he short if the awful power of the pulpit were turned upon the famine-creating laws. I would have the pulpit pro claim the cause of causes—the master evil.—(Cheers.) Am I sincere if while I profess to pity the effect, I conceal the cause ? I am not. Blame the people as you will, they have justice on their side.—(Cheers.) The rich forfeit their title in the sight of God to their expansive acres the very moment they withhold bread from the poor.—(Renewed cheering.) Now, suppose the ministers of our holy religion to take their stand for the people, would the people forget the services rendered ?—(Cries of " No, no.") No, rather with what fine effect and appropriate authority might mi nisters of religion then appeal to the people, and say " Godliness is profitable to the life that now is." We have aided your interests, t not by prayer and sym pathy,' but by every means in our power,' to compel the Government to rem the unjust laws that drive by the reference I have made to its duties, its oblige gations, and its power. But, if we turn our thoughts ' from the ministers of religion to those for whose sake they minister, what should we say to the moral sta tistics which have been produced by the late over whelming commercial distresses of our country ? Who can tell the number of persons who were serious and devout five years ago, who have returned to the mire " through the car es f this life ?" In how many instances has the amended character and type of the members of Christian churches been deteriorated by the ever recurring question—" What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed ?" How many persons could be found whose religious education this hour has been neu tralised by the depression of trade ? How many thousands of religious minds have been driven to emigrate, no small portion of whom, it is to be feared, will renounce by the act their native country and their sacred vows ? 'What number of Sabbath teachers have disappeared from our schools through want of decent clothing ? What proportion of the various religious societies have felt the pressure, and though they have exhibited no material subsidence of income, yet to what acts have they been forced, to meet their current liabilities?—(Hear.) What proportion of seat holders have given up their pews from incapacity to pay the petty subscription for the salaries o f the minister ? How many thousands have been compelled to pawn or sell their bibles and their psalm-books from the same cause, and having once overcome the anguish of part iug with such hallowed • companions, have been made calious by repeated sufferings, to their re-possession. —(ll;ear.) I might ask a hundred kindred questions, and the only reply of the loaded heart would be— " Oh, Lord, thou knoweit." I boldly say that the cases of deterioration and ruin from drunkenness and crime, so lamentably frequent in our country , during some years past, lie at the doors of our rulers and legislators.—(Hear.) On them fall the accumulated maledictions of those beggared wretches with each setting sun and morning light. They know the re medy as well as we. The history of such men is not yet written—l neither envy its contents, nor desire to share its responsibility.—(Hear.) It is an affecting thought that the youth who are now twenty, were, when these distresses commenced, only fifteen years of age. The interim is decidedly the most important period in our being—(Hear)—and yet all the youth of the labouring population have passed through under the pernicious and withering influence of com mercial and trading. distress. What an education The effects, however, will never be worn off.—(Hear, hear.) Many a promising youth was taken from school to bolster the 'Sinking fortunes of his family—(Hear, hear)—and at length, by the same cause, was driven from the shop too, and now he is walking the fields and lanes around the city, a fugitive without vocation, if not a vagabond without principle.—(Cheers.) ome that were in tended for the professions have been compelled to avert their thoughts to humbler trades, and others, designed for trades, are now beggars, or what is worse —soldiers—(Applause)—and some even have com mitted crimes to procure a gaol home. Such as have remained at school, have been reduced to the cheaper classes, and with great difficulty the payments of their education have been irregularly made, and in many instances not at all. A larger number still, who, if trade had continued good, would have received a little education, so as to acquire at least the art of reading, will now never be able to acquire the art of reading through life, they are now too old to con a primer with children ; too poor to obtain private instruction ; and when trade returns they must devote every hour to provide for the current events of the day. All that they know must be traditional—(Hear, hear)—they can test nothing by self-exainination ; and they must take even their religious knowledge on the dictum of others.—(Hear, hear.) The urgency of animal wants predominates, in times like these, over all questions of self-improvement ; the battle is for life. The ri vals increase every hour ; the markets are uncertain ; the next order may be the last for twelve or eighteen months ; and, mighty as the pulsation may beat for knowledge, the youth of our country must turn deaf ears to her syren voice, till a more convenient time, which will probably never arise. —(Hear.) Here again I pause to point out the connection between the morals of the people and the acts of the Government; and again I say to the friends of morality, you prune the twigs, and leave the trunk untouched, while you seek not to mend the laws. Now, until it can be shown, then, that there is this connection between knowledge and morality, or until that connection be destroyed, the connection continues between ignorance and vice, and as much more actively as the evil of our nature predominates over its better inclinations. What ever, therefore, increases the motives to mental neg lect, makes ignorance inevitable, must be reckoned among the abetting causes of immorality.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, I believe the opinion which now so widely obtains is a just one—that the present prostration of trade, and its concomitant deterioration of public and private morals, of which I have only had time to draw a very faint and imperfect-picture, is caused by pal pable injustice in the Legislature of the land. When the property of labour is set at nought by the aristo cratic legislator, he teaches the labouring poor, both by precept and example, to despise that of others ; and thus property at once loses its sanction, and crime its enormity.—(Hear, hear.) The frequency of ruined tradesmen also enervates the shame of insolvency, and when it is no longer a reproach to compound with , one's creditors, the solvent but unprincipled trades mon will avail himself of the relaxed detestation of debt, and such as have less moral courage to sustain , the struggle for a panic, give up their chances of self redemption before they had really lost the game._ But we are told that it is impossible, by the wisest system of legislation, to prevent these sea sons of distress—these visitations of famine. We are told they are collapses as natural andtc of rest andessary to the healthy progress of industry as per i ods _ sleep to the animal system—(Laughter)—and some will tell you that, by studious and profound calcula tions, they have penetrated the mystery hidden from vulgar eyes, and can prove by figures that the most precious portion of a community like ours, should par ti a lly submit to famine as a punishment for being too industrious, and t oo i n g enious, and too enterpris ing.--(Laughter and cheers.) That it is not the Corn-laws or other restrictions upon trade that have entailed and 'worked these evils, but the genius of Watt, and Bolton, and Arkwright, and the avarice of men who have given employment to millions at home, that they might clothe the bodies of milli ons abroad.' —(Laughter.) These astute arithmeticians —these patient plodding calculators of a world's Wa n t s an d a people s destiny, who count spindles, and measu re the power of steam, and reckon the taxes of the po pulation—and who greatly love the Corn-laws— (Laughter)—not because they happen to possess land and realize a few extra thousands by their existence —t en per cent. on which they are willing to give to the poor if you will only let them keep the other ninety—who love these laws simply because of their wisdom and benificence, and because Sir James Graham loves them— (Laughter)—who once demon strated that they were the most unlovely things that We have before us a list of nine firms at Mar seilles, in'ostly connected with the Corn-trade, all of which have failed within the last fortnight, the aggre gate amount being very large. It does not appear that they will re-act upon London ;in fact the previous failures have been the cause of those at Marseilles.— Evening Paper. TARIFF PORK (SO CALLED).—We are informed that advantage has been taken of the admission of Ame rican pork, which can be retailed of an excellent qua lity at a very reasonable price, to get rid of a large quantity of old ship's provisions —pork condemned as unserviceable for sea use ; and that this half-perished, dry, and unwholesome stuff is offered for sale as the commodity we are for the future to be supplied with from the United States. There is, of course, so palpable a difference between the latter and the article which is substituted as its representative, that, once seen toge ther, one cannot be mistaken for the other; but as the imposition should not be allowed to be successful, and as unsound pork is generally believed to be very productive of disease, we would caution poor people against the use of it. Good American pork is not discoloured—that is, rusty—stale in appearance, or destitute of brine, which are the characteristics of con demned naval stores.—Shipping Gazette. MAIL-CART SNOWED UP.-111 order to prove that winter in the north has come in like a " roaring lion," we need only mention that en Wednesday morning last the mail-cart which runs between the towns of Alston•and Penrith, in Cumberland, by reason of the tempestuousness of the wind, and the great depth of snow, was completely drifted up on a bleak part of the road on Cross Fell. The postman being unable to proceed further, with great difficulty managed to dis engage the horse, which was nearly done up, from its trappings ; he mounted it, and leaving the cart, came on with the bags. After a stormy and dangerous journey he arrived at Penrith two hours or more behind his usual time, thereby losing a post for the letters which were destined for London by the morn ing mails. WEST LONDON RAILWAY.—Several parties have applied to us for our views and advice with regard to the new shares in the above railway. We never give advice, but we will lay before them the facts as simply and clearly as we can. About 140,0001. have been spent on this line, and it is now estimated that 32,0001. will finish it. The proposal is, that 10 per cent. shall be divided upon this sum before anything is given to the old shareholders. The question then is, what traffic will pay 10 per cent. ? If we allow 50 per cent. for working expenses, the amount on long line is about or under 40 ; then 6,4001. per year receipts will just do it. But 6,4001. per annum for a line of three miles, is 411. per mile per week. Now, if the two short metropolitan lines, with which alone this can be compared, receive the one, the Greenwich, 2331. per mile per week, and the other, the Blackwall, 1581., it will be hard indeed if this line, with the London and Birmingham and Great Western at one end, and the Thames at the oilier, cannot earn 411 per mile per week.—Railway Magazin e . SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—As some workmen were engaged in removing the materials of the late Miss Allambridge's house, in Cheap-street, in this town, they exhumed five sculls and a considerable quantity of human bones, all at some little distance from the surface. On removing a yew-tree that stood in the garden one of the sculls was discovered under its roots, the lower jaw and teeth in good preservation. The others were found in different places in the yard, and even under the flooring of the house. They were but slightly decomposed ; indeed, the lines of the brain, in the cavity of the skulls, were clearly trace able. The matter excited but little interest, as, from its contiguity to the abbey, it is conjectured the spot was formerly a part of those premises ; no vestige of coffins, however , was discovered. The former inha bitants of the house, doubtless, little thought t hey were in such close vicinity with the dead.—Sherborne Journal. SHEERNESS.—A SAVING WIFE. — A few days since Mrs. Lowe, wife of Mr. L death, Lowe, died of a lingering disease. A fterow he e, of this place, look over his deceased friend, a female, proceeded t o with the assistance of a confidentialrneighbour and wife's wearing apparel, with av i ew of making a ,en dis tribution of them among some of her relations, w hen to his utter astonishment h e found secreted in vari ous drawers upwards of 6001., of which he was altogether ignorant ; in one place h e found 3601. in go ld, i n ano ther fi ft een 51. notes , and in a th ird plac e a h oard of various kinds of mone y , making, as we have before said, upwards of 6001.

The nose, especially, cannot be better imitated by the most -eminent sculptor. The neck, shoulders, body, legs, and feet are also very distinct, well de fined, and proportioned. One part of the rock on which Dumbarton Castle is built yields, it is said, a correct profile of the Duke of Wellington. FATAL ACCIDENT. —Saturday morning, at about heavily laden with bal es half-past six, as a wagon, of g 003.5, was on its way to the Railway terminus in Euston-square, when about h alf way down Turn mill-street, near Booths distillery, it cam e i n contact with a light cart belonging to, and driven by Mr. George Thompson, a greengrocer, re siding at Paddington, and who was proceeding to Farringdon-market. The collision broke the shafts short off, and Mr. Thompson was thrown headlong to the ground, his head coming in contact with the kerb stone. The skull was so frightfully fractured that he expired before the hospital was reached. Count Danneskiold and suite embarked on Satur day . at the Tower -stairs on board the General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, Caledonia, Captain H. Cheesman, for Haraburgh. The Hon. Mr. Mlles also le ft London on Saturday in the same Company , 5 , packet Magnet, Captain R. Stock, for J3oulogne. f, t ~a !' 0 i 5 I ,1 I• , V:
