T. Best, Esq., of Stepple Hall, who WAS drowned in the river Rea the preceding night. It appears that Mr. Best was returning home after dining with the Rev. A. Woodward, of Neen Savage, and a party of friends, about half - pas t ten on Thursday night. It being wet and dark, he intended going round by Wawvord's Bridge, as the river was much swollen .at the time, from the late snow and rains. When he had passed the ford leading up to his residence, it is supposed by some that his pony, having been in the habit of crossing the ford, became restive on going past it, and was checked by its rider when too near the bank, and both were precipitated into the stream. By others it is thought that Mr. Best mistook the Severn for the road; but no satisfac tory evidence can be obtained as to the real cause. — Worcester Chronicle. . • DEC EMBER 5, 1842. No. 15,688.

It hat; never aimed at compelling, but always at CQI• vincing, the landowners; Mit, as it knows tha; when their own interest' is concerned, they arc rather a stolid and stubborn race,'the League htti endeavoured, by arousing and enlightening the; people at large, also to 'work on their fears. Circumstances have aided. the League, or - rather justified its doctrines and foresight, and have en abled it to bring over every day an increasing 11 umber onandowners and farmers to its opinions. Nor is the Leagum, which advocates not only an immediate, but total repeal, without converts in the Press. The Morning Chronicle is now evi dently ready to give up the advocacy of the Whig nostrum ofa moderate fixed duty. We were gra tified,yesterday at observing that, the Examiner openly gives it up. " There is one," it said, "of our opinions as to the Corn-laws which we see reason to abandon—the opinion in favour of a low fixed duty. We looked upon a low fixed duty as the mode of working out gradually the change from the restrictive system to free trade, and as a guard against any agricultural panic.' There • was a time for such an expedient, but the time has passed." We have nu change of opinion to avow, and long ago took up' the ground which our most enlightened and far-seeing Contempt). raries are now disposed to occupy. We hail with great pleasure everraccession to our good cause, though we are well aware that others are likely to get more of the praise, more, of the honour, and more of the rewards, than we, who have laboured consistently and untiringly for total repeal from the beginning. ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE TIIREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION", at ONE CHARGE. MURDER IN FRANCE. A dreadful murder was committed on Monday last, at Orleans, under the following circumstances :—A man, of Italian origin, named Montelli, residing at St. Germain, repaired to Orleans about a 'fortnight ago, to visit a person named Boisselier, a messenger at the Bank. These persons had served together in Africa, and had been for some years on most inti mate terms. Boisselier invited Montelli to dinner, and the latter, on taking his departure, promised to return in a short time and see him again. Accordingly, on Monday he again arrived at Orleans early in the Morning. He sent a message to Boisselier to come and breakfast with him at the Hotel de l'Europe. Boisselier sent word that he should speedily follow,' and, placing in his pocket-book bills to the amount of 8,0001., which he had to receive for the Bank, he proceeded to the place of 'meeting. They went out about half. past eight .o'clock, and drank wine at several cabarets. About nine they returned to the 'hotel, and went Up to Montelli's room. In half an hour afterwards the unfortunate Boisselier lay murdered on the floor. Montelli, on arriving at the hotel, had asked for some thing to eat, and the servant, seeing that he did not come down, carried the breakfast up to him. He heard her step on the stairs, and immediately came out of his room, saying, " Take it down ; I shall be with you in a moment.' He descended a few minutes after, having locked his door, and put the key in his pocket. He took his .breakfast with the utmost tranquillity, and then went, out, and, calling at several bankers, got most of the bills, which he had taken from his victim; cashed, and in this way collected about 5,000 f. He returned to the hotel about_ one. o'clock, and.-WALfix. , Aiiituer, which he ate with a good appetite. His dinner being over, he went up to his room, and then set about concealing his crime. After having dispatched Bois:seller, Montelli had tried to hide the body in a cupboard in the room, but he found it impossible to force it in. It was 4 however, absolutely necessary either to hide it or take it away. For this purpose he went out again, and purchased a box and some packing canvas. The former was to contain the body, and the latter to dry up the blood. During his prepara tions the murderer, the better t 6 deceive the persons who might be in the neighbouring rooms, kept singing with a loud voice. Sometime afterwards he took the box down stairs, and with the aid of a' commissionnaire carried it to the Mesiageries Laffitte, and had it en tered for ,Toulouse, directed to a person named Morel. He then, without returning to the hotel, agreed with a cabriolet driver to take him for 10f. a certain dis tance on the Paris road. He became hungry on the way, and took supper at an inn at Artenay. In the meantime the non-appearance of Boisselier had given the alarm at the Bank, and the police were informed of the circumstance. They learned that a stranger, with his face somewhat scratched, and his hand wrapped up, had presented several bills for payment, and on examination it was found that several spots of blood were visible on some of them. The next day,. M. Benard, the proprietor of the. Hotel de l'Pairope, finding that one of his inmates had not re turned, and that the key was not to be found„went up to the room, and saw some blood near the door. He at once sent for the police, and, on examination, blood was discovered on the floor, in the cupboard, and under the bed; where they also ound a cap, a cravat, and some bloody linen. This having come to the ears of the Director of the Messageries, he informed the police of the heavy box he had received the even ing before, and on its being broken open, the body of the unfortunate Boisselier was found within. The mutilations practised on it were horrible, for the murderer, in order to force the body into the box, had been obliged to fold up the thighs like the legs of a fowl, and to press the dead body down with his knees. The police are in pursuit of the murderer,. who it has been found hired a cabriolet at Thoury. Bosselier has left a young wife and one child.-7—Ga lignoni. LORD KINNARD'S TESTIMONY 'Cu THE. PRESENT STATE OF THE COUNTRY. • , ' I never remember . the agriculturist's intereit in such a state of depression as it is at this moment—a state which we last. year foretold they must come to —not caused, as it is falsely asserted, by a panic, con sequent on the partial relaxation of 'our commercial laws, but from the diminished powers of consumption of the people. That this is the case I may give, as an instance, the town of Dundee, where not above a ,dozen head of foreign cattle have made their appear ance, and where the quantity of Irish salted store beef sold as American has not been great ; yet not half the quantity of cattle are slaughtered per week that there used to be, though the price of meat is re duced to od. for the best, and 4d. the inferior. One of the principal bakers stated that he now only bakes a batch of bread three times a week instead of one five days in the week, and two on Saturdays ; the dif ference between three and seven, or a falling off of more than half in the- consumption of flour, in addi tion to the greatly diminished quantity required for manufacturing. The number of inhabitants has cer tainly decreased, but not in proportion to the di minished consumption, many of the unemployed having 'returned to their rural parishes, and to Ire land. But here is a matter of deep concern and in terest to the agriculturist and landowner—that this falling off in consumption is felt, and that most severely by the farmer. I may be considered as no bad judge, having in my own hands Upwards of 1,000 acres of pasture and arable land, and depending chiefly on Dundee for the sale of the produce. Some, perhaps, will say . that the proximity of land to a large town is no criterion; but I think,, on a moment's re flection, it will be seen, that though the stagnation of trade is more immediately felt by those in the neigh bourhood, yet the farmers at a distance. must eventu ally feel ft, as the produce, which otherwise would be consumed on the spot, is . sent to compete with that in ether markets—for instance, I have a large flock of Leicester sheep, for which here at present there is absolutely no sale, and lam oblig e d to send them Ito London, whereas; formerly, I could have s disposed of them, conferring an - obligation on the, buyer, hefore they Were half fat -The'fact is, no ferior quality of meat will sell, and even good, not readily. I have a lot of Highland vvgthers, bought in' this spring at 445., -.which will not par the 'surinees keep. Hay, which sold .formerly with a good de mand, at .Is. or, ,ls. 2d: per. stone r is now selling at Bd. and 9q. Wool, which thave •heretofore sold at 18d. per 1b.,. though ,of inferior quali,ty to what have now on hand, lam not able to dispose r of,'" though willing to take 11d. or 10d., the price which has been given when it has been sold. The same with .everything else, not excepting young horses,' for the saddle and !;arne?s which a few years since were eagerly sought after by merchants and others in Dundee, because they were then making money, and could afford to keep horses, which, while it gave extra employment, increased the demand for agricultural produce. For the same reason the coachmakers being no lOnger employed, have ceased to be custom ers for hard wood ; the same with the ship-builders. Indeed, there is no sale for any descriPtion of' wood. lVbere, in former years, I could sell in a 'day 1,0001. worth, I could not now sell 101. This cannot be oc casioned by the alteration in the timber duties, as it was the case before that alteration was proposed ; and besides, when trade was brisk, I found it more profit able to use foreign timber than my own, for which I realised as good or a better price. Grain is also re duced in price, but not so low as not to give a re munerating price to the grower, if there was a steady demand, and a security for payment. But what is the state of the linen trade of Dundee ? Somewhat better, certainly, tha s n it was six or eight months ago ; for this reason, that owing to the abundant harvest, there has been a greater demand for sacks, and from the cheapness of provisions the agricultural labourer has been enabled to provide himself with some :necessaries, which has created a slight demand for sacking and coarse sheeting; added to this, the Government contract, for sail-cloth (which will be, completed in December) is now giving employment to a great many hands. But the trade with America and the Brazils is paralyzed, because 'we cannot take their corn and sugar in exchange. A large exporter of linen from Dundee to the United - States, informs me that he will not send for the approaching spring trade one bale for twenty that• he has sent the last five years. This stoppage of trade with America will account for the numerous failures, and cases but too frequent where men who, a few short years ago, might have retired in comparative affluence are now reduced to a state of bankruptcy.—Letter to Afr.

In consequence of thewuncement in the daily 'papers that. ber: Afitiest) _vitt Y'-:;iiilxe'tr is would, immediately on their reaching the metropolis from 'Widmer Castle, proceed by the Great Western Railway, the terminus at Paddington was from an early hour in the forenoon besieged by well-dressed persons anxious to obtain admission to view the de parture of the Royal party; but all were, to their great disappointment, answered that no one could be admitted without an order from a' Director or one of the officers of the Company. C. Russell, Esq., M.P., the Chairman, with Charles Saunders, Esq., one of the Secretaries, and Seymour Clark, Esq., the Superintendent of the Line, were 'early in attendance, inspecting the preparations within the terminus for the reception of her Majesty, which rather differed from the previous oc casions. Instead of . a temporary platform placed for the accommodation of her Majesty on the side of the down line, where there is no waiting-room or accom modation for the Royal travellers, the train started from the spacious platform abutting on the up-line, at the west-end of which a large and elegantly furnished waiting-room, &C., has for some time been erected. At the west-end of the platform leading from the car riage-way to the train, and also to the entrance to the waiting-room, a splendid crimson Brussels carpet was laid. It was arranged that the engine should not be attached to the train until after the Queen and Prince Albert were seated in the Royal . saloon carriage. At ten minutes past three o'clock the train was brought up to the platform. It consisted of the Royal saloon, with both . before and behind it a saloon carriage, and between the former and the tender of the engine was placed one of the second class (open) carriages, in order to break the i force of the stoppages. At 25 minutes past three o'clock the Royal car riages arrived. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, on arriving at the platform, were reoeived by the Chairman and Secre tary, and by them were conducted to the waiting room. The second carriage contained Lady Lyttel ton, with their Royal Highnesses the infant Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, and their nurses, and the third carriage contained Earl Hardwicke, Lord Charles Wellesley, Hon. C. A. Murray, &c. The Royal party remained but a very few minutes in the waiting-room, and were then conducted to the train. The train was put in motion, and propelled pau se took place i n th e by a numerous body of the Company's servants along the line as far as the second bridge, a distance ( o i f e x te about rou s 2y5 attached,l) yards, and d her n e o th e engine was most motion of the train, which instantly gained it s mos t rapid pace. Her Majesty appeared rather pale, and seemed fatigued by the journey. She was dressed in a violet coloured satin dress, with flounces, and wore over it a purple velvet mantilla trimmed with chinchella fur. Her bonnet was of rose coloured silk, with drooping feathers of the same colour. Prince Albert appeared in excellent health, and had on a black velvet spencer, with a row of chased silver bUttonS down the front, over which he wore a blue great coat. Much pleasure was expressed by the spectators at the excellent view they were able to obtain of the Heir Apparent and his Illustrious sister. The former wore a round cap of purple velvet, with a broad band of gold, and was wrapped in a robe of Stuart tartan. The Princess Royal had on a bonnet of the same colour as her Majesty. Later in the afternoon several other carriages, con taining members of her Majesty's suite, arrived at the terminus, and proceeded by the regular trains to Slough. WINDSOR CASTLE—SATVEDAY EVENING.

MAIK-T THEATRE., The Dowager, a piece in one act, was produced for the first time at the.llaymarkett. Theatre on Saturday night with complete success. The plot is ingenious, complicated, and full of incident, and the attention is piece. It is, however, analysis, and it will stoou ffi kept suffice a ei g l i h v t to e u t o n s a t y i r e l the qtiihi ra c e : o a s et minute as the successful. Madame Vestris, a rich and arch dowage r of thirty, performed her part inimitably ;so did Charles Matthews. The other performers were not much behind them ; and it is only justice to say that the piece owes much of its success to the exertions of all. The accessories were well got up, and the house was crowded. How TO FILL A THEATRE .—T-h Grand Theatre , just been opened. of Lyons, recently rebuilt , has Many reports, however, which impugned the solidity of the roof and the strength of the whole building, have proved injurious to the success of the theatre, and for several nights its doors were opened at a se- Tnent hit upon a new experiment to disarm the public of the fear ve* loss. In this dilemma the manage that made them shun the theatre on account of its precarious safety. They hired 2,000 men from the garrison, and these intrepid men braved the danger of sitting through the performances for three evenings successively. The whole etat-major and the civil au thorities of the town, also partook of the peril, and the consequence is, their gallantry has restored confidence to the timorous public, and the theatre is now enjoy ing a nightly repetition of crowded houses. Under the Restoration a different manoeuvre was called into play, under somewhat similar circumstances. The report had got industriously circulated that the The atre Feydeau threatened to fall in.

STEAM TO CHINA. STEAM TO CHINA, VIA THE RED SEA, IN FIFTY DAYS; OR BY THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE it SIXTY DAYS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) My version of the former von have already; for, the latter, viz., round the Cape of Good Hope, allowing the steamer only to run eight miles per hour, she would perform the voyage from Southampton to Hong-Kong in sixty days, allowing two days to coal and water at Saldana Bay, Cape of Good Hope ; or she might, if necessary, coal and water at Ascen sion, Saldana Bay, and Singapore. The voyage from England to China, by the Cape of Good Hope, is only fifty per cent. longer than via Red Sea, and in this all shifting of vessels and land transit is avoided ; besides, as we can coal and water at our own colonies, we are under no obligation to France, Egypt, or any foreign Power, and this is of consequence. Saldana Bay is the safest and best harbour in Africa, and it is sheltered from all winds. Water (its great defect) has, it is established, bien found in abundance. Not like Table Bay, or tiny place to the east thereof, which are exposed to the yearly effects of dreadful storms and ship wrecks, Saldana Bay is as good, extensiove, and as safe a harbour as Portsmouth ; and, morei. over, it can be got at easily at all seasons of the year., Depots of coals, in bulks, moored in smooth water, for the express purpose, where time steamer can instantly run alongside and get her coal and water, will be necessary at Saldana Bay; and unless the steamer can do with one ,coaling on the voyage (which large ones may be made to do), the like depots .will be wanted at Ascension and Singapore. The voyage direct to China, by steam, - will be a much shorter cut than bY the route a sailing vessel is compelled to go. The voyage, by steam, from England to Bombay, by the Cape of Good Hope, is double the distance of the same route by Egypt- and the Red Sea, but the voyag e by steam from England to Hong-Kong is only fifty per cent. longer than the route via Egypt and the Red Sea. MURDER ON Tlik-,HIGH SEAS, AND COMMITTAL OF SIX SEAMEN. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, DEC. 3.—Very consider able sensation was created in this town yesterday,.by the circulation of a report, which turned out to be true, that Philip Keel, a man of colour, and tha cook on hoard the bark Clydesdale,' of Greenock, William Renfrew master, had been strangled to death by the chief mate and five others of the crew of that vessel, which arrived in port from Bombay on the preceding night. The names of the prisoners are—John Boviman Randles, David Barnes, James M'Donald, George Deane, George Saul, and John Roberts, all of whom are white men, and we regret, fur the sake of our country and of humanity, to be given to understand, natives of England. It appeared.that. the deceaSed, Airlio was a native of Jamaica, had been indisposed and confined to his bed in the forecastle since Sunday last, and that on the morning of Wednesday, when the reseal was about twenty miles at this side of Tuskar, the chief' mate proceeded down below, ordered the unfortunate marl to get breakfast ready, and charged him with skalking from his duty. The deceased remonstrated as well as his illness would permit him, and protested that he was not a skulker, whereupon the mate said that if he did not get on deck immediately a tackle would be put down the hatchway and .he would be housed " out (an expression in general use amo n g mariners to signify that compulsion would be used). One of the hands said that if a.rope's end were put round the neck of the deceased he would hoist the fellow out, and accordingly a two-inch rope was lowered into the forecastle, which another of the hands adjusted round the man's neck, and the party or parties on deck hav ing applied their strength to the'ml of the r o p e b e or they held, the deceased was in this b arbarous manner hanodistderdagogued a tofh h i s distance h ammo c k of in about h is the neck. Here he lay for a moment extended upon a chest, *h en the carpenter, who had been roused from his sleep by the noise, rushed from his hammock and called out to the parties on deck to desist, as the?, were choking the man. The rope having according y been slackened, the carpenter slipped it off the neck and on to the body of the deceased, and in tifs manner the latter was hoisted upon deck, where he was placed and kept in a recumbent posture for about two hours ; but, as he never spoke during that time, and as his mouth be came distended and his eyes, closed, there is every reason to believe that he was strangled to death in the manner.stated, immediately before or after he had been hoisted .through the hatchway. At all events, he was dead when removed back to the forecastle ; and, from the testimony of the medical gentlemen who made a post mortem examination of the body, little doubt would seem to exist that death had been caused by suffocation. These are the short facts of the case. The examina tion of the prisoners took place at the police-office yesterday before Mr. Rushton, the Stipendiary . Ma-• gistrate, and a densely crowded court. During a great part of the examination, Mr. Commissioner Phi lips sat on the bench. The prisoners were gratuitously defended by Mr. Wardle, a solicitor. The circumstances which transpired on examination of the witnesses are precisely those related above, wind tending to implicate the whole of the pric.oners named. After a full statement of the case, Mr. Rushton directed the five prisoners (who had neither witnesses to call, nor remarks to offer in their defence) to be committed to prison for the present, and sent for trial on the capital charge at the next sitting of the Gene tral Criminal Court. • The Duke of Devonshire's annual sale of fat stock is to take place at Chatsworth, on Wednesday next. lab •• • 1 LONDON MONDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 5, 1842. It has been stated by a Tory journal, in order to discredit the manufacturing system, that wages have declined during the last forty years; and the statement has been admitted by a Whig journal, because the supposed fact was thought to tell against the Corn-laws. The statement is very important. Is it true? Let its examine the matter under two aspects—the amount of wages and the rate of wages. The last forty years embraces the whole of this century, and within that ,period it is well known that our population has increased amazingly, and that this increase is principally a town popula tion. In France, and generally on the Continent, when a man has acquired a fortune, he goes to a town or city to enjoy himself; in England, on the contrary, till our rural districts became un safe, people who made fortunes retired to live in the country. The bulk of the owners of rent live in the country. A great portion of the receivers of interest also live in the country, and the bulk of the new town population are the recipients of wages, and live on them. It ig at the same time true, that many of the inhabitants of towns re ceive profits, and partly live on them. Thus shop-keepers,lmaster-manufacturers, merchants, and bankers, have large capitals embarked in bu siness, and the major part of their income is the profit of their capital, but a considerable share of it is for intelligence, skill, and labour, in ma naging their capital, and partakes 'more of the nature of wages than of profit. Mr. COBDEN well described, at the Sheffield meeting, the labours of the master-manufacturers, for which they re ceive wages : The Manchester man is on 'Change every Tuesday from twelve to one, when business to the amount of five or ten thousand pounds is transacted with a nod of the head, or a, monosyllable. He goes to Liver pool, the next day, to buy cotton. He examines the staple, and looks to the quality ; he brings away the invoice in his pocket, and pays the money himself,— (Hear.) He goes home, and do you think he goes a fox-hunting ? He daily superintends thp process of cotton-spinning and weaving. Hb has no lawyer with red tape to tell him when a spindle is out of place, or he wants a new loom. He knows where' every strap and whereabout premises should be ; and if they are out of order, he himself directs them to be properly adjusted. And what does he do with his son ? Do you think his son is sent to the Continent, to come back precocious in the worst vices to be picked up there ? No ; his son rises at the ring of the factory bell ; is in the factory at six in the morning; sees every man at his post ; and knows every one by sight and name. This is the discipline of the factory-lord. Besides master-manufacturers, shop-keepers, and merchants, there, are, in all large towns, an immense number of foremen and clerks, who are paid generally by a fixed yearly salary, and no body- acquainted with these classes will say that .the amount of salaries or wages paid to them has been diminished. As the bulk of the increased population live in towns, and live on wages, it is palpably untrue to assert that the amount of wages, looked at as a whole, has declined within the last forty years. On the contrary, the amount has greatly, and, considering that England was long ago described as an old country, incapable of making much further progresses, wonderfully increased. Has the rate of wages then declined ? Do the labourers of all classes get less per head ? To get at a fair solution of the question, we must consider not only the branches of labour, which were in existence fiwty years ago, but the new•branches of labour which have sprung out of the great tree of industry. We will admit that the rate of hand-loom weavers' wages has de clined, but power-loom weavers constitute an entire new branch of business, and their wages, tilt the year 1837, were comparatively high. Latterly, the wages ofpower-loom spinners have declined, but forty years ago their art was scarcely known, and, till a recent period, their wages were nearly double the amount obtained by any ordi nary unskilled manual labour which was pre viously in existence. The case is the same with engineers, gas-fitters, machinists, and a whole tribe of new artisans, who, till the decline of trade, in 1837, were much, and still are, somewhat better paid than any artisans previously in existence. In such trades as shipwrights, house-carpenters, bricklayers, tailors, sail-makers, shoe-makers, printers, and seamen, the rates of wages are as it were fixed at so much per day, or month, and has not, we believe, been lOwered for many years. At the same time, the price of nearly all kinds of consumable commodities, even of bread, in spite of the landlord's terrible monopoly, has sunk since 1815, so that, comparing the rate of wages with prices, 'it has rather risen than de clined. The individuals of the trades may not get full employment; they may be, and are just now, many of them, out of work, but the rate of payment, when they get employment, remains much the same. To all these classes must be added the shop keepers and master-manufacturers, whose wages, as is evident from the fortunes they have made, have increased enormously during the last forty years. In conjunction with the improvement in their condition, and in the condition of various classes of artisans, the previous condition not only of the English agricultural labourer, sup ported as a pauper forty years ago in many counties out of the rates, but of the Irish agricultural labourer, who has come within these forty years freely into com petition with the English labourer, must be remembered. Looking at all these circumstances, which can be verified by statistical data, we have no hesitiation in saying that the rate of wages, as a whole—and not taking only the wages of agricultural labourers and hand-loom weavers— has increased as well as the amount. A sad and disgraceful thing it would be for the Government were it not so. The incomes of the landlords, of the clergy, of all the officers of State, have been much increased, and, severely as the present condition of the labouring classes condemns the Government, it would have been ten times more to be condemned if all their vast skill and exertions had in nowise tended to improve their own condition. We bold the assertion of our Contemporaries, therefore, to be quite untrue, both as regards the amount and the rate of wages. But both the rate and the amount, it must be remarked, have beCn raised and .kept up only by those successive improvements in machinery and successive discoveries, which have called the new and well paid arts into. existence. The poor, wretched, unfortunate agricultural labourers and hand loom weavers, are as bad off as possible, and the only means by which their condition has been at any time. improved, or can be improved, is to draft off the hands from those employments into the new employments which science, art, and enterprise, continually introduce. For them to be successful they require to be free, and to give new employment, to the people it is necessary that the law-maker remove all his shackles from trade. The journals of the manufacturing districts so abound with accounts of meetings to promote the repeal of the Corn-laws, that it is impossible for, us to notice :all of them, much less insert the reports. There have been, for example, nume rous and enthusiastic meetings at Huddersfield, Halifax, and Kendal. Meetings are in progress at GlitsgoW and Leeds. It is especially refreshing also to notice, that while the zeal of the League . and its friends redoubles, the country gentlemen are in various places declaring that the tenants' can only obtain remunerating prices by the town population being able to purchase agricultural produce. They are sensible that the introduction of foreign produce under the tariff has had little or no effect on prices, and some of them, as Mr. 'WniTmottE M.P. for Bridgenorth, has taken pains to prove that to the conviction of the farmer. In general, they are fast adopting Sir ROBERT PEEL'S dictum, that manufactures and commerce must flourish in order that agriculture may prosper. From the general spirit evinced, we are sure that the Parliament will next assem ble under very different feelings from those enter tained last session, and that the country gentlemen will be favourably inclined towards free trade, if they be not ready to grant all which the League demands. From the reduction of prices, the fall of rent, and the increase of pauperism, the country gen tlemen begin to see and feel that they have little chance of preserving their property unless they can restore the prosperity of the country. The mode in which the distress in the manufacturing districts comes home to their pockets—the only means, apparently, of making them feel—was well described by Mr. C. WOOD, at the Halifax meeting, on Tuesday last, and we shall quote his remarks to show the country gentlemen that the invasion of 'paupers from the manufacturing :disi triets, with which they. were long ago threatened by Mr. COBDEN, has actually taken place : Those (said Mr. Wood) who, like himself, lived in those parts of the country less remote from the seats of manufacture, were much more sensible of the evils the Corn-laws entailed upon them than those who resided in more distant parts. But he was glad of having this opportunity of saying to that assembly that the agri culturists were beginning •to see that their inte rests were inseparable from those of the manufac turing community.—(llear, hear.) That which operated prejudicially upon the manufacturers, would, before long, tell most perniciously upon the agriculturists.—(Cheers.) The distress among the labouring population of the manufacturing districts was extending in no slight degree to the agricultural districts, and directly in consequence of the distress of the former class. He sat weekly at the Board of Guardians at Doncaster, a purely agricultural district, some thirty or forty miles from Halifax. Why, what happened every day ? A. case came. Who is this man was the inquiry ? He replies, "lam a spinner, from the neighbourhood of Huddersfield?" " What , h ave you come for ?' he is next interrogated.
