But the average is 605., and the landlords tell you of this high average, and they make you pay rent as if you o te i t i a d e o t u n a o i t iy i r k e e c e a i v v e e r d ag t e h s i s t a h i a ' e t ra ge o tlh'eeiris tahliemthetiiipeat nefit of high prices, and compel you to sell at the lowest.—(Hear.) And tell them when they speak 'of protection for themselves that they have moral and geographical protection which ought fully to satisfy them. They have a moral protection in the attachment which men feel to the place of their birth, to the scenes of their childhood and youth, to the church where they were united to the partners of their toils, and even to the graves of their fathers, where they expect their own bones to be laid.—(Hear, hear.) These local attach ments prevail even against prudence, and men who feel them, and almost all men feel their, will rathe: .give more than its value for a form than be torn away from it like a tree which is rudely torn up from its roots. And there is also a protection to landlords in the pleasantness of the employment, which makes farmer's sons dislike to leave it for the drudgery and confinement of a town's occupa tion ; and hence they remain, and in their anxiety to have farms they bid against their neigh bours, much to the benefit of the landowner. Then comes the geographical protection. They talk of their inability to co:npete with wheat grown in the fertile prairies of Indiana, but that wheat cannot be brought .tq..Nevy. York at. less charge of carringe than 10s. a quarter, nor from New York here .at infriort charges than 10s. more. Here is a protection of 20s: to start with, and yet your landlords demand, and Peel has given it to them, a protection of 20s. more, I hope when they next talk to you of protection you will tell them that protection means robbing the manufacturers without putting a farthing in your pockets. There might be some sense, though not much honesty, in mulcting the manufacturers if you made anything by it ; but he is a fool as well as a knave who upholds an injustice by which he gains nothing. But lands would be thrown out of cultivation, say the landowners coming upon you on another tack. N'ow, however, in other parts of the country this plea nay avail, it is useless in Cheshire. Should any of diem come to any one who is here and talk about land being thrown out of cultivation, just let him be asked: " Then why am I bound dower never to break up certain grass fields ?"—(Cheers.) Yes, you may well doubt the sincerity of the man who uses this argu ment, and, at the same time, binds down his tenant under heavy penalties that he shall not cultivate ; who tells you that you must pay him a high rent, because there is a law to keep up the price of corn, when he makes a private law between him and you that you shall not grow corn.—(Cheers.) It is known that the greater part of grass land cannot be kept in good order unless it be occasionally broken up, well cleansed by a judicious alternation of crops, and then when in thoroughly .good condition laid down again in grass. But no matter how foul the grass lands become, no matter how overgrown with moss, no matter how many rushes, no matter how coarse and sour the grass is, you are bound down not to disturb it, by the very men who support the Corn-law, and tell you that they do so because its repeal would throw land out of cultivation.—(Cheers.) I deny, and all well-informed farmers deny, that there would be less employment for labour after the repeal of the Corn-law than there is now ; for there is very little land that can be always in grass. There is more pro duce by a judicious rotation, More manure made, more profit to the farmer, snor e employment for the labourer, when, instead of looking for profit from one scourging crop, the view of the farmer is extended to the whole vei-rrs o f the rotation, and considers that each crop is the natural and ne cessary process towards the production of another. Under the present system there is a premium given for bad cultivation. Corn is forced upon unsuitable soils, which could be much better em ployed, and the country is injured ten times more than the amount of any benefit which the landlord may enjoy. And if prices were to fall, it by no means follows that the farmer would suffer. He would need ADDRESS TO FARMERS AT 0 VER, IN CHESHIRE. On Wednesday week, on the invitation of a num ber of gentlemen at Over, Mr. Prentice met a depu tation from Northwich, for the purpose of holding a friendly conference with the farmers in the neigh bourhood of the former place. Considerable pains had been taken to prevent the meeting taking plan, The members of the League were denounced as tak ing a part that was immoral, irreligious, and, at the present moment, seditious; but, notwithstanding, the Market Hall was well filled, and of the hundreds who were present a considerable proportion consisted of farmers. Mr. Slater, of Woodford Hall, w h o f arms nearly 300 acres of land, was called to the chair, and introduced Mr. PRENTICE, who said—l have been infoimed that some persons have been saying that to have a friendly discussion here on the way in which the Corn-law affects farmers would be immoral and irre ligious. I will reply to those persons in the words of the Rev. Gilbert Elliot,Vicar of Kirkby-Thorpe, near Kendal, whose speech happens to be amongst the number of tracts I have brought with me for distri bution. Mr. Elliot, at an Anti-Corn-law meeting held in Kendal, said— " Even conceding that the landed interest might not reap such advantages as they at present do, an I that the manufacturers might not be so materially assiited as they anticipate, were the Corn-laws to be modified or to be repealed, I should still be against them on the strongest possible grounds, that of religion. I cannot, I dare not join myself to those who insist upon upholding those worse than questionable laws: and from this time forth, when the declaration and en couragement of so many able men in Parliament gives hope that peaceful agitation may succeed in modify ing them, I never shall cease to use my utmost in fluence to aid in having them swept from our statute book. I have, indeed, heard that the clergy of the Church of England are against any alteration in these laws. I have heard that one of them has found out that they are sanctioned by the Holy Scriptures, just as one of them formerly found out that those Scrip tures gave support to slavery; but I cannot believe it of the bulk of the clergy, that they are so opposed to such an effectual change in these laws as shall remove the complaints and miseries of the poor. I know it may be said to me, that those who support the laws do so because they think them ultimately best for the interests of the poor. All I can say is, their views may he right, but that mine at least appear most consistent with the language of our Liturgy, and that of some of the Fathers of the Church I am, in our Liturgy, bound to thank Geri when there is abundance ; to pray earnestly that he will protect us from dearth and famine ; but how those who support these laws can, with any sincerity, in such years as those through which we have lately passed, go with this prayer to the footstool of God s Throne, when one little stroke of the pen, one little Act of Parliament could avert it, I cannot divine. But what says Cranmer—Cranmer, an Archbishop, and an early founder of the Church—in his Exposition •f the Cathechism ? W hen speaking to the command, Thou shalt not steal,' he thus explains it, as to the farmer or landowner, If they sell their corn, cattle, or other victual at an unreasonable price, to enrich themselves thereby, they be very thieves before God;' n d again, If he set so excessive a price upon his corn that the multitude (whom his duty it is to feed) is not able to buy it, then he is guilty of theft before God.' This is the language I have been taught— this is the language I teach. The case may be that my income shall suffer by a change of the Corn-laws, but God forbid that I should seek a gain which robs the poor man of his bread, or is wet with the poor mans tears ; and I cannot but hope that there are thousands prepared to viesa the matter as I do, that is, as a question of Christian charity and religion." The reading of this extract elicited loud cheers. Mr. PR EN TICE went on to say—l believe that the Vicar of Kirkby-Thorpe is quite as religious a man as any Vicar you have is Cheshire, but if anyone should balance the opinions of one Vicar against another, cast the Archbishop at once in his teeth.—(Laughter and cheers.) As to sedition, the slanderers are worth no other reply than that the members of the League have quite as great a stake in the country, and as much in terest in the preservation of the peace, as any of the Cheshire squirearchy. The League recommends no measure of injustice. It does not ask.that a b ur th en sisse.reeass4.l.,... olrcrukk, o tr 7 be -- rtiny Vf 11 1/11 the shoulders of other classes of the community, be cause that would be a continuance of the injustice. Its object, and my object here to-night, is to show that the. great and ruinous injury which is done to the trading and manufacturing interest is without any, the slightest, advantage to the farmer. Surely this is a subject which we may discuss dispassionately; and probably you will not be less disposed to enter into a friendly conference with me when I tell you that I am the son of a farmer, whose ancestors were farmers on the same estate from the time of Queen Elizabeth. You have a deep interest in the prosperity of towns where your produce is consumed. You cannot be prosperous when they are depressed. Your markets are such towns as Manchester, Stockport, andlVar rington, and when trade is had and wages are low, and when m'any are out of employment, you cannot expect to have the same price for your produce that you had in prosperous times. Have you had no re duction in the price of cheese ?—(A Farmer—Yes ; the best quality is down 10s., and the second 20s. a cwt.) What is the cause of this reduction ? Not Sir Robert Peel's tariff; which has left the duty on foreign cheese untouched. Had he taken off even a shilling a cwt. we should have had an outcry that this had caused the fall of 10s. and 205., which you are now suffering. We must look, then, for some other cause ; and you will find it in the deep distress of your cus tomers.—(Hear, hear.) You will observe that the fall is greatest on the inferior quality, which has hi therto formed a considerable part of the meal of the working man, but now he cannot purchase wholesome wheaten bread and good cheese, but is reduced to the necessity of living on potatoes; and you will have a still less demand from him during the winter, which threatens to be one of greater privation and suffering than has ever yet been endured by a much suffering people. And this distress in the manufacturing tow ns reaches you in another way. Part of your population, tempted by better wages than you could afford to give them here, have settled in the towns, where they have sup ported themselves without being chargeable to you; but now, being unable to find employment, they are passed home, to add to the burden of your poor's rate—to be paupers, perhaps, for life.—(Hear, hear.) Let me ask you, how your poor's rate is now, com pared with what it was this time last year ?—[The Chairman : It is advanced forty per cent.]—Forty per cent ! Forty per cent. reduction in the price of your cheese—forty per cent. increase in your poor's rate — and both these effects from the distress of the manu facturing districts. And yet you have men amongst you who say that an inquiry into the cause of conse quences so disastrous to you, the farmers of Cheshire, is seditious and irreligious.—(Loud cheers.) Farmers have a further and deep interest in trade and manafactures, as affording the means of pro viding for their families—as affording openings for the settlement of their sons and daughters, who cannot all be farmers or farmers' wives. In one of the tracts which I shall leave you, you will find a statement that, in a certain number o f families known to the writer there were, out of eighty individuals who grew up to! men's and women's estate, only four of the sons who became farmers, and only four of the daughters who married farmers. This was only one-tenth of the whole number. Nine-tenths of the others had to seek employment elsewhere. Many of the sons settled in the large towns, and many of the daughters were married to pe. sons in the large towns, many sons emigrated to Canada, the United States, Australia, &c., and many of the daughters, who would not marry beneath their station, remained unmarried. For your immediate subsistence—for the means of edu cating your children up to a certain age you depend upon your farms—but when they are to be settled in life, if you have more than one son and one daughter, you have as great an interest in the prosperity of trade as you have in the prosperity of agriculture, and much greater if you have a large family. Thus even were the Corn-law a benefit in the first instance to the farmer, it would he no benefit if accompanied by a diminution of other means of settling his children in the world. But I deny that there is even any immediate and direct benefit. Either the Corn-law raises the prices of farm produce, or it does not. If it does not, how can it benefit you ?If it does—if it raises prices permanently, so that high prices can be calculated upon, it only raises rents.—(Hear, hear.) And there is a peculiar hardship in your case. You take your farms calculating on a certain average price, say, for wheat, 60s. ; but although the average for the year be 60s. you do not receive so much. The corn holders, for a couple of months before harvest, may be selling at 705., and you may be expecting to have the same price, but your harvest comes into market at the very moment when, by Peel's sliding juggle, it has to compete with two millions quarters of foreign growth, ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The bargain was that in return for their holdings they, should defend the country and preserve its peace. Scion after the Revolution of 1688, their military services were commuted for a payment of four shillings in the - pound on the then assessed annual value of their land. They now complain of their bargain. They say the payment is a peculiar burthen. If they repent of it, let .us go back to the old contract. . Let them pay the army, and we will :elease them frcini tlielaild 2 tax.— (Cheers and laughter.) But on imposing the peculiar burden in lieu of their feudal services, they took peculiar pains to lay it as !ightly as possible. At that time, 16.95, it was one third of the whole: revenue of the country. They now pay on the assessment of 1695, although their land has increased in value ten, twenty, and through some whole counties thirty fold.—(Hear, hear.) In 1695, in return for their feudal services, the landowners paid an amount equal to, one-third of the whole re • venue. Their payment is the same now, when it amounts to little more than one twenty-fifth part of the taxation of the country. And this 'is one of their peculiar burthens.—(Laughter.) And the poor's-rate .is another of their peculiar burthens, and likely to become . a, heavier one than it is now, if I may judge by the operation now going on in your township of Over.—(liear, hear.) But the distress which sends paupers home to you is first felt with us at Manchester and Stockport.—(Hear, hear.) We also have our poor to slipped. My partner and I rent premises to the amount of 1501. a-year, and when one of your Cheshire lendowners.once spoke of 'the- peor's-ratee as a peculiar buythen upon land, we offered to pay the rate 6n and of - .TiTS - - farms of the , same rent if he would pay ours, but he would not accept the offer, and by the refusal put himself out of court with his cloCtrine of an exclusive burthen. Tithes are another of the peculiar burthens upon the land. But you can easily see that they do not fall on you, though they , pass through your hands. I know an estate in Cheshire whiCh is tithe free. Do the farmers have' the farms at less on that account ? No ; they pay sd much more, rente--(Hear, hear.) Were tithes abolished to-morrow you would be none the better for the change, for, your rents would be so much the more. What you now pay to the parson you would pay tothe landowner.—(Hear, hear.) But, say the landowners,. if we get so .much less rent in consequence of the pae meat • of tithes, we do in reality pay the tithes.. Softly, gentlemen, you must, to make your case good; prove that you have a right to both rent and - titheseee(ClOers.) Tithes are rent paid in a peculiar way 1 , 1. if t • ey were not paid to the parson, the landlords have no more - right to have them than I or individual in this Market-hall who does not own an 'inch of land' in the country. Peculiar burthen indeed t- They might as well talk of their mortgages as .a peculiar burthen. So much for peculiar burthens. Let us 'now see if they do not enjoy,peculiar exemptions from taxes. Mr. Prentice then referred to . )the probate and le gacy duties, to the. window . -tax, to the tax on horses, to the duties on 'insurance and. sales by auction, and to the Income-tax on rents of not less than 3001., from which landowners -had' exempted their tenants while those taxes fell on,all other classes-of the community. lie went on to say, These are specimens of landlord legislation ; and what the better are-you for all these exemptions, and from the "protection" they have be stowed upon yote?—(Hear, ;hear.) And what the better are they for them all?: They have had it all their own way—they have legislated just as they liked—heaped up exemptions and protection to them selves, and yet they are complaining that they are not exempted andprotee_ted enough. They have driven their tenants like cattle to the, poll. to. vote for this or that "farmers' friend," and ',yet they are com plaining. And why- is- - it - that - their legislation has failed? Because laws based' on injustice are fated either to fall or ultimately to injure those who passed them, and those:who tamelfa'nd submissively allowed them to pass.—(Loud cheers.) The laws of God are stronger than the enactments of Men; and they will ultimately be enforced. 'He'cattsee his rain to fall on the just and the unjust; he 'gives ,diversity of climate that there may be diversity of production ; he decrees that there shall never be scarcity all over the world at once; he ordains in -his beneficence that there shall always be plenty upon the face of the earth—all the comforts and all the innocent luxuries of life, abund ance of food, generous wines, clelieicius fruits, to be freely enjoyed by men ifthen hake • only the sense to accept of them by emtnel exchanges. If they refuse limy must. abide the fearful consequences.. Fully convinced that the Corn-law is based on -in justice, that its repeal would, not ininre the farmer, and that its abolition' is absolutely necessary to avert the total ruin of trade and Manufactures, the members of the League, in - the conscientious discharge of what they consider a sacred religious diitY, are determined never to cease their 'labours till they have established entirely free trade in'the necessaries of life. It is not merely against the juggling slide of - Sir Robert Peel that they make warfare.' Thei?-Warfare is against injustice, and they 'will consent to no duty on that which is the free gift . of Provitleeee. There will be no cessation of theirilabours till the trade in corn be free as the air we breathe. It is for the farmers of England, therefore, to choose whether'they will have the present uncertainty; ut'idefr which they know not what they do, protracted 'ter years, or whether they will throw themselves into the 'movement, have the question settled at once, make' fresh agreements with their landlords, and start afresh on a sure foundation. —(Hear, hear.) But whethet you join the movement or not, let me warn, you no: to be found against it. Be not guilty of the hypocrisy of praying for your daily bread while you are . leca§iilg it to your fellow men when it is freely. offered.(Leiud cheers.)

The attention td'-the Address, and the demand for tracts 'at its conclusion, showed that the farmers in Cheshire are eager. for infOrmation when it is offered in a friendly spirit. STJAVE TRADE—RIGHT OF ' SEARCH. (From the Journal des Debats.) We feel it our duty to protest, even in the interest of the French press at large, against the manner in which certain iournals have treated the letter addressed b Lord Aberdeen to the Lords of the Admiralty. Were we at war with England, were she a nation of traitors, of people so perfidious as to merit extermina tion' and her GoNernment a Government of pirates, it would he no reason why,when such a nation and such a Government performs an act of justice, this act .shonld be denaturalised, and made a cause for a flood of ithniting declamation. - Lord Aberdeen frankly ac knowleazes that abuses have entered into the means employed tt...r repressing the traffic in slaves, and points them out to the Lords of the Admiralty, calling upon them to suppress the irregularities, by sending out to the British naval :officers instructions in con formity with the rights of nations. This letter, we repeat, bears an impress of mode ration and good faith which does honour to the 1 British Minister, and he has shown a true dignity of mind in confessing errors, and taking the necessary measures for remedying them. Yet this has been seized upon by certain journals as an occasion for im precating death and hatred upon the English and their Government ! What is the character they wish us to have in the opinion of mankind ? What object have they in issuing forth these violent absurdities ? Do they wish France to be made 'an outlaw among nations ? Is there net a sound and loyal policy in rendering justice to the good intentions of Lord Aberdeen -in accepting-his admissions of wrong, and in encouraging the English Government in this its first endeavour to put an end to the abuses which have been complained of ? It is urged, however, that the Minister's letter does not say all—that his Lordship notices only certain abuses, and passes over others in silence I This may be so; but, nevertheless, it is much for a Government to have candour and courage enough -to confess a portion of its wrong doings, or THE CHINESE COLLECTION.

Moderate charges strictly adhered to. less capital to st o ck hi s f arm , an d the want of suffi cient capital is, as most of y ou we ll know, a great i m - pediment to good farming. Even with,lower prices it does not follow that the landlord himself would suffer. st sr/ ys e mg equitame leases would he, adopted, which would enable the farmers even with lower prices to give greater rents. There is probably no manure cheaper than bone dust, but what tenant at will would lay done bone dust, the effects of which are manifest for ten years, when he is never cel lain that he shall be more th an one year in h i s occu p ancy ? But with us th e quest i on i s not one of price but of exchange. W e w i s h t o exc h ange our s u rp l us pro d uce for the surplus produce of other countries. T,ly own be lief is that under free trade prices would be equalized, that they would fall something here, and rise some what abroad, remaining, however, higher in the im porting country by the amount of charges upon im port. Our demand is not so much cheap bread as the liberty to exchange our calicoes, which. are unsaleable at home,.for the food which is unsaleable abroad—the liberty of selling where we can sell best, and of buy ing where we can buy cheapest —of taking food in exchange where we can have nothing else in exchange. It is objected that with this liberty the gold would leave the country. This, be it observed, is never ob jected to in the purchase of American cotton.—(Hear.) Why should gold be sent any more in exchange for corn than for cotton, but because cotton is a regular article of import, while the purchase of corn, by the sliding scale, is a sudden speculation. But if gold did leave the country, what then? IVe do not grow the gold, and we cannot eat the gold. Before we have the gold we must have given manufactured goods for it, and by the same means we first obtained it we could obtain it again. But gold need not come into the transaction at all. I will engage, and I do not make the assertion without authority, that in a few weeks I should have a million bushels of wheat for a million pieces of calico without the intervention of money on either side. Here Would be no derange ment of exchanges.' The whole negotiation would be : " Give us the wheat, and here are the calicoes." And this transaction wouldbe effected without lessen ing, even by a single bushel, the consumption of English wheat, for our calico weavers are not at pre sent, nor have been for some time, nor are likely soon to be, consumers of wheaten bread. You would only have men who are now scarcely existing on a scanty supply of potatoes eating whOlesome bread, with, provably, some of your Cheshire cheese and butter, which at present they never see.—(Hear, hear.) Is there a single person here who believes that the mass of the people have as much as they can consume of the fear that there would be a less ene d consum pti on of o° wholesome English tri p fod ro o du ? c — e. (No, no.) Away, then, with And now a few words as to the effect of a repeal of the Corn-law on your labourers. They are told that their wages fall and rise with the fall and rise of the prices of food. This fallacy has been urged upon them from the time that the corn-law was pro posed, in 1815, to the present day; and Lord Abinger, the other day, went so far out of his judicial course , as to hash up the exploded fallacy to a J ury a t Liver pool. If I have any labourers amongst my audience gees fallacy is repeated well. p would eat e d thyoa them eathem,mge s by any e s ar y enhy employer, t o say 4, Very e . h l2s L . Lord w A e ebk in 1835, when i n wheat was at ss. a strike. Will you mak e th em 18 s . when it is at 75.6 d. the strike?" — (Cheers.) If wages are high where food is high, and lo w where food is low, how comes it that the Irish labourer h as on ly 6d. , where food is has 4s. a -d a y? o a - 11 d l ya ay, --(Hear.) The Irishman at home works a f or t n i g ht a w lf l t s h il e e p th r e ic l e a t b i o m u t r i e t r i i s n in Ar re e l r a i l c id a , for a single measure of wheat—the Irishman in Ame rica earns it .by a single day's labour.—(Hear.) When a labourer hears this old talk about wages being regu lated by the price of food, let him ask ow a h ; -t happens that wages are so high in cheap America, and so low in dear Ireland; and let him ask the repeater of the stale fallacy; "Now, really, do you pretend to be honest when you say so ?"—(Laughter and cheers.) And now for the justice of the question. I have hitherto been endeavouring to show yo u th at you de rive no ben e fit f rom the orn-law, and that, on the contrary, you are now suffering by its operation in the reduction of the price of your dairy produce, in the increase of your poor-rates, and in the diminished sources of employment for your families. Have the landowners any just claim to the protection they en joy ? Do they bear any peculiar burthens ? Do they contribute anything to the public revenue which the other classes of the community do not? They tell us that they do. Th e y tell us that they pay the land-tax, the tithes, and. poor-rates. They tell us that these are peculiar burthens borne by the land, and that as an equivalent for these peculiar' burthens they should be empowered to tax the people's bread. Let us examine these burthens in detail. The land of this country was held under a military tenure. It was parcelled out by the Conqueror amongst his chiefs on the condition that they should render the Country their military. services when they THE GUILDHALL HOTEL, KING -STREET, CHEAP SIDE.—This establishment, which- has 'undergone, in consequence of fh . Q city improvementS in Cateaton street, most extensive enlargement and alteration, was on Saturday permanentlyopmed by a public dinner in the state dining-room, sover which , Alderman Sir Peter Laurie presided, stil founded, by a most respect able company of seventy : gentlemen, including some of the chief officers and merchants of the City.

CORONER'S INQUEST. - On T .ay at halfpast three o'clock, Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for West minster, held an inquest in St. James's-workhouse, Poland-street, upon,the..body !of . John. Park. It ap peared froth the evidence ..Of a number ,of witnesses that the deceased had left his work on Tuesday about half-past four, and in passing. 'down Lower James street, when about 4'oo yards trom the workshop, he fell down upon the pavement in a state of insensibility. He was carried into the . first shop, and means used for his recovery, hilt he died almost instantaneously. His relations having refused. to all ow a pos t mortem examination of his body, the Jury, after a short con sultation, returned a verdict of "Pied, : by the visita tion of God." The deceased, who *as both deaf mid dumb, married a girl afflicted with, the same infirmi ties, and who is now an:inmate of Bedlam. those' of its subordinates, to condemn itself for — those acts in which it has been blameable, and spontane ously make a public acknowledgment. We cannot, in conscience, exact from Lord Aberdeen an espousal of all our complaints without examination; and that, upon the mere denunciation of our journals, he should treat the naval officers of his own country as brutal plunderers. It is for our Government to take advan tage of the opening made by the declarations of Lord Aberdeen, and, having accurately verified facts, lay the proofs before the British Government. As long as the treaties of 1831 and 1833 continue in force this is all that can be properly done. Admitting that the letter of Lord Aberdeen is only an incomplete admis sion—that it is but one step towards a reparation, is it a -good ground for an attempt to raise heaven and earth against the Government of a nation which tes tifies the desire to repair the wrongs and errors which some of its delegates have been guilty of ? No nation, no Government, is infallible. All countries are liable to be involved by their agents in serious. faults, but among those which are civilised this should never bring on a furious and insensate war. The injured party does not immediately utter outrageous cries of vengeance, but first pro ceeds to demand justice through the elannel of diplomacy. If any nation believed that if had good grounds of complaint against us, would we listen to demands for reparation accompanied with insults and threats ? Would we be the snore ready to do justice if branded with the terms of thieves and plun derers, and daily told by the nation claiming satisfac tion that it hated us, and called down upon us all the vengeance of God and man ? Yet this is the high patriotism which, with so much shameful rancour, some of our journals are displaying at the present day. They do not talk like politicians, but disgorge words of rage and animosity, believing, no doubt, that they are rendering an eminent service to France, by endeavouring to make her a participator in their own blind passions. We have said, and we say again after calm reelection, that were France at war with Eng land it would still become them, both as two great civilised nations, to do justice to and respect each other. We have a further motive far protesting against the deplorable exaggerations of a certain portion of the press. It is evident that these exaggerations, although they might not have the intent of driving the two nations into a war with each other (and then they would be criminal), must essentially injure the cause they_ pretend to serve. A moderate and calm dignity adds weight to all remonstrances, whereas,- ra<re and violent language render them suspici o us, and throw discredit upon them. Every country has a right, and, indeed, is bound to defend its own honour. To insult is not to negotiate. What a na tion would readily grant on a just and proper appli cation, it will refuse to insulting threats, for then its pride is rowed. What is the wish of these writers, who every morning brandish their swords in the face of England? There are existing treaties—we do not allude to that of 1841—for not being ratified, and it never will be, it is, as regards France, as if it had never been signed. This is a point upon which no person can raise a doubt. But there are treaties that we have ratified, and induced other parties to accede to, which we have acted upon for 11 years without a murmur against them till the last ten months. This is an incontestible fact. There have been abuses— On Saturday,aithe J ensingtonPolice Court, an application was made to .Mr. T. Poynter, the sitting Magistrate, on the ; part of Captein Davis, of Turn ham-green for the' restoration of a,,diamond ring, valued at fifty guineas, which had been detained at the Court, in consequence of Captain Davis refusing to prosecute two yOung women, named Foster, who had stolen it from his house. Mr. Poynter, in answer to the application, observed that he did not see that he should be justified in ordering the ring to be de livered up to Captain Davis, inasmuch as he had thwarted the ends of justice, by objecting to appear and identify the - ring. It, however, subsequently. appearing that Captain Davis was an aged gentleman, who had not left his house for years, Mr. Poynter consented that it should be given up, upon the Captain paying a sum of money to the office poor-box. It will be recollected that, the ‘veek before last, a licensed hawker was taken into custody, and brought before the Magistrates at Marylebone Police-court, for having hawked goods at, houses within the gates of the Regent's-park, this act on his part being charged as an offence in contravention of the orders and regu lations of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. It turns out, however, that the Commissioners possess no legal right to exclude' such hawkers, and that their officer, in arresting this man, acted without any legal authority. It is seldom, indeed, that any complaint can be ,made of the administration of the Woods and Forests, . which is, unquestionably, the best conducted department in her Majesty's service, and one which has done more thawany other to the general convenience and comfarfofthe public. the treaties themselves indicated that there might be such. But now it is wished to turn back upon these treaties, and have them modified, at least, if they cannot be entirely rescinded. It is wished that the treaty lately concluded between Great Britain and Ainerica should become the model of a new treaty be tween England and France. We can require nothing better. We will not even enlarge upon the fact that the position of the United States was different from ours, and that they had not to recur to former and still-existing treaties signed by them. It can only be through the medium of negotiation, and not by rudely and abruptly breaking a faith solemnly pledged, that the question of inoditying the treaties of 1831 and 1833 can he decided. Now all men of sense must and do feel that during such torrents of insults and threats, such an exhibition of inveterate hatred, no rational or pacific conclusion can ever be come to. We are fully convinced, and therefore we declare, that this system of the journals of which we have spoken, is directly opposed to the object they wish to countries. r Well attain, supposing that object not to b e th e su b st i tat i oft of passionate rage for temperate r eason .

(From the Paris Siecle.) The Marquis of Normanby, then Colonial Secre tary, was informed in 1839, that a Spanish slave trader, Los dos Amigos, had been admitted to free trade at Cape Coast, an English establishment on the Golden Coast. The last Whig Ministry sent, after this information, Dr. Richard Madden to the western coast of Africa, to examine if English commerce, in the English, Spanish, or Portuguese establishments, participated in the slave trade. The result of the mission was, that the slave trade was kept up by Eng lish commerce and English money. Dr. Madden found that the slavers took in provisions at the Eng lish establishments, and that the English gave to the slave factories clothes and ammunition necessary !or this infamous trade. He found besides, that slavery existed in several of the possessions of England on the Golden Coast. Dr. Madden made a report in conse quence. Amongst other things be recommended a suit in law against one of the great London houses, Messrs. Forster and Smith, as,havingassisted the slave trade, and having employed one of its vessels, the Robert Heddle, in furnishing special merchandise for the trade to a man of the name of Louie, a known slave trader, established at Whydah. The Whig Ministry highl y approved of this, and seemed disposed to enter into a suit against the house of Forster and Smith. Thing , s were at this point when the Tory Ministry cl w as. formed.

TRICKS OF GARDENERS IN GRAFTING.—In your work on " Organic Chemistry, , in its application to Agriculture," p. 36, you mention, " The rose sprig planted on a citron tree does not produce lemons ; it produces roses." The existence of such plant is un doubted; it is, however, not less . certain, that the whole is a fraud of gardeners, managed in the following manner :—They pierce the marrow of a citrus, and introduce the stem of a rose sprig through the hole in such a manner that the under end of the sprig enters into the soil as deep as the rose sprig would require_if planted where it takes root, and produces blossoms in the ordinary manner, as if it were not surrounded by an artificial covering. It is evident that the rose branch is not nourished by the citrus, as is the case in grafting a scion of an improved kind of fruit with another of indifferent species. —Annals of Chemistry and Practical Pharmacy. .

Lord Stanley has become a traitor to the cause which he formerly supported, in order to avoid !rnbarra.ssments caused by the discontent of the mer t:Qants. It is but to too true; the Cabinet of St. or ames has abandoned the cause of the negroes ; the fr iends of humanity ought to be afflict&l by this change of feeling towards them ; for England thus prives herself of all moral force for coin cting the destruction of slavery, which it 1 - 1 A so et ergetically begun. What authority can Englai, - I Are s we when it brings the negroes by force into their co ; at ieF, and there condenins them to an engagement a year, at least ? What authority could it have I o prevent others from following the trade? Violence a lone could practise a charity. of this kind. The fuestion is, will France allow England to exercise s t tch violence ? It is to be hoped that the press WM 1t igue against this weakness ; the honour of the. entry and humanity command it to act. France • z d Great Britain are bound by formal conventions 'e 7 the abolition of the trade; therefore, it is an in t.ry to France to wish to revive this infamous traffic tider any name whatever.

The tariff of Sir Robert Peel is beginning to get ito extensive operation, and • it is at once curious and h nportant to notice its results with reference to the recent fairs throughout the country. At Hay fair the 're was an abundance of cattle, and they were sold from 25 to 30 per cent. lower than similar stock NI ta•e at the same period of last year. At Leicester ca ttle fair, the prices of sheep and beasts fell greatly, im a the g,raziers and farmers blamed Sir Robert Peel in o very - weasured terms. One said " Sir Afatok wa s ;the devil himself;" whilst another replied, " No, but - 4 ie devil will have him." The very abundant frait, .and, above all, apple season, which we have had this ye. ar, has so much brought down the price of cyder, t hat at St. Matthew's fair, at Holsworthy, that beverage was sold at the pound's mouth at seven pence per gallon, by the hogshead. It i s great l y to be deploret; that thi . s wholesome and palatable drink is not more generally adopted by the whole com munity. It js cheap, healthy, and favourable to la bour and exeret . e. It is also a national drink, and onl . y inebriating when indulged in to g r ea t excess : It is also to be regretted that the Excise duties on cyder and on Il4tish wines are not wholly re moved. That removal w ould give a taste for national be verages of a light and pleasant character, alike cheap and: desirable. At Tottington fair, it would seem that the cattle maintained their prices, and that the sellers were better satisfied than the public. The Canterbury Journal, which supports Conservative, or rather, Tory principles, finds fault with the working of the tarifla It says that the country shopkeepers will not give the public the benefit of anything like the re duction which has been made in the duties by 'a cor responding abatement in the prices of the articles of the most ordinary consumption. This we readily be lieve. Egotism will produce the same results with reference to country shopkeepers as with every one else. For instance, in the price of coffee, the duties were reduced from Is. 3d., ls. 9d., and 6d. per pound, to Bd. and 4d., and yet the reduction to the consumer who buys that article retail of his grocer is not more than 30. per lb. But whose fault is this? That alone of the public. If those shopkeepers were encou raged who give to the public the benefit of the reduction, and if those who refused so to do were de. s oted, there would soon be an end of all such l ega l. frauds. In fact, the public have it in their own power . to bring this m a tt er t o a prompt ,and satisfactory adjustment. But to resume the D'ibject of the tariff and the fairs. At Hull fair, the tarsi did not pull prices down as it has done in Scotland aid Ireland. At Calder fair, animals of all sorts were difficult of sale, even at ow prices— , and, alas! servaaV wages were much diminished. This is a serious evil, and one to which we purpose calling specially, on 5011i0 early occasion, the attention of the public. It has often grieved us to think what very low wages are earned by our female domestics. But, according to the Caledonian Mercury, at Calder fair good female servants could' only procure from 21. to 2l 10s. per annum ! When compared with the wages paid in Europe generally to persons in the same cc ndition of life, these prices are not more than one fourth, and are wholly inadequate for the purposes of cleanliness :said health. At Redruth fair, the Falmouth Packet observes, the prices were fully 10s. per cwt. less than at the same fair last year. At Presteign -fair, the rates were depressed. Atitoss,the cattle %ire numerous, and the p„ices greatly- reduced. The .13oFfon Free Press observes, that7as compared with the prices obtained in October last 7e4r, the reduction on cattle would vary from 3/. to Si. per head. The Cavbrian, in speaking of the St. Clear's Xichaelmas fair, says that the prices were much lower than thole of .last year, owing, it is supposed, to the tariff, The Western Times, when speaking of the great fair at Axminstety remarks, " On the whole, the fair was very dull, and many sales of stock were effected at an actual 'pecu niary loss to the sellers. The tariff, and • other Tory blessings, were subjects of general grumbling, and the Government, as the author, got_roughly handled. The ... Carnarvon ircrald bag an article headed " The Tories' Tariff," which says that— " A gentleman farmer, not two miles from"Aberyst with, purchased at Liedrod fair, in October, Ig4l,nine head of cattle, and kept them well with turnips, hay, &c., during the winter, and on excellent grass through the summer ; and at the last Liedrod fair, held on the ith inst., sold the nine, and had only realised to his pocket for their excellent keep the sum of lls." No great profit, certainly ; but still we applaud the principle of the tariff. We know the farmers and graziers complain. But when were they in the habit of pursuing a different course ? The weather, the taxes, rents, the markets, foreign stock, non-protec tion, &c., are always the pegs on which these gentlemen hang up their complaints and their sorrows; they have now one more, and that is the tariff—and yet, in spite of all that, we approYe highly of Sts prin ciple.—Atlas. It having been officially announced by Government to the Board of Customs that a Special Commission will immediately be formed with the view to the full investigation of the " Frauds upon the Revenue," the mode in which the functions of the Board and other matters of public importance have been exercised, the inquiry that has recently occupied so much interest in mercantile and trading circles, has been terminated. There is a general wish expressed in the City that this special investigation, about to be commenced by order of her Majesty's Government, should be in open court, thus gig ing the public press without having the fear of the law of libel before them, the opportunity of stating the commercial houses who have participated w ith certain employees of the Customs in defrauding the revenue. The principle of secret compromises by firms discovered to have been in the possession ofsniuggled goods, ought not, it is asserted, uinperwith waitingan. to be tolerated any longer. The vvelfare of the honest trader, as well as the revenue, demand that the names of all—and there are not far short of a dozen wholesale frauds—should bl te i l l 3 u r bl a ic s ly be g in ifen m , il an eci d the moat t h h o e u s s e e houses spoken auds_ f or the presentation at the Special Commmiestsrioopi are I ready mode of effecting this object, vvith rr o h u e t metropolis, be b y of th e the investigation frauds lg al t t el h ro a sn t Report being made openly, and not in camera. to Parliament, will tile and trading classes, not only of the.. but of the country generally, greatest interest for a full exposure cooking with. the have, been for so long a period public revenue.
