(Applause) Now, the League were going to print a million copies of each of these three prize essay s.—(Cheers.) He expected in another fort night every printing-press in Manchester would be in full operation for the Anti-Corn-law League.— (Cheers.) 'They were aware the Council of the League had arranged a plan for separating the country into districts, placing an authorised agent and lec turer over each, for the purpose of dispensing, as he had said before, not merely a tract, but a c ond ense d library; on the Corn-laws. They Shad done the work in the country; they had the most of the kingdom almost complete in its organisation; and these prize essays, in addition to the other books, should be placed in the hands of every elector in the kingdom.— (Cheers.) Now, the monopolist papers s a id th e y should not be able to raise the 50,0001. fund. They said they might as well ask a hundred thousand. Why, the fact was, that the Council began to feel that the money raised would be likely to exceed that sum. —(Hear, hear.) So they saw what a capital estimate they had formed of the spirit abroad. They had not waited for the country to respond ; they said, " We'll spend the moner first ; we'll put ourselves in pledge for it, and we 11 trust to our bread-eating countrymen to take us out of pawn."—(Loud cheJrs.) This was eminently a question of money, and the amount of money which had been pro posed to be raised, though it was an insignificant sum in proportion to the object to be achieved, would be a much larger fund than was ever raised in this country before, for whatever object. He was speaking to one of the Society of Friends the other day, and he said the largest sum ever raised in the anti-slavery cause was 7,0001. Fifty thousand at one whit, therefore, would not be a bad contribu tion'for the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Hear, hear.) But, he was not going to tell his friends what might lest :them into the mistake that the money could be raised without exertion.—(Laughter.) But there was no reason why they should not raise even more than the sum proposed. He was talking with some friends the other day, who said the League would raise a quarter of a million.—(Hear, hear.) Now, he really thought if their opponents were to be con vinced of this they would knock under in a moment. —(Applause and laughter.) He had spoken to ‘a gentleman who said it had been asked in the clubs of LoriclOn if he really thought the 50,0001. could be raised. He was assured it could ; upon which he said; " Well, he did not think the Carlton Club could raise 10,0001. to oppose tbem."—(Laughter.) No— they had spent all their money in the last elections, and now they found it was all thrown' away. They did not know their men.—(Great cheering.) He be lieved the county electors were so dissatished at the result of the last election, that they would now be disposed to come to the Anti-Corn-law League in the hopes of getting something by them, as they could not get anything by their former friends.—(Laughter and applause.) And after the experience they had had of their landowner friend, who contributed his 1001., he should not be surprised if, before the League finished, they should enrol the Duke of Buckingham as a member of the League.—(Great cheering and laugh ter.) lie begged most cordially to second the vote of thanks to Mr. Buckingham, and deeply he felt in dt_.hted to him for his exhortation here to-night. Mr. Cobden resumed his seat amidst great cheering. Mr. Alderman BitooKs supported the vote of thanks, and said, especially to the ministers of the Gospel we: e they indebted for braving the calumnies of men ever ready to attribute wilong, motives, and taking their stand on this great question.—(Applause.) 'The motion was carried by acclamation and the inc.eting soon afterward s separated. , M NEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

Among the candidates admitted was the Mar quis of Drogheda. rice of speech-making.—(Hear, hear.) He cordially econded the vote of thanks, and he hoped they should have the co-operation of his friend Mr. Buckingham on this ,question again. He had reminded them of his labours in this country some years ago to open the trade to the East, and he thought most of the meeting would recollect how much he had been the 'weans, on that occasion, of contributing to the settle ment of that important question.—(Applause.) He thought they invited him to a co-operation with them at a most important and rather tempting period of their agitation ; in fact, they asked him " to come and pursue the triumph and partake the gale." They asked , him to come and pay a few visits in their great cause to different parts of the country, and if he did he would carry this important question by acclamation. —(Applause.) They had heard from the announce -meats made by the Chairman, and the correspondence which had been read, some of the encouraging "signs of the times." Now he attributed much of this feeling to the malignity and falsehood of the attacks made on the Anti-Corn-law League by their enemies. —(Hear.) It was a short-sighted policy on the part of their ene mies, from Blackwood down to the John Bull.— (Hear, and laughter.) It was a short-sighted policy to commence a tirade of falsehood and slander against the League, when, if they had known anything of their fellow-countrymen and countrywomen, they must have been sure that directly their calumnies were detected they would recoil with tenfold force upon themselves.—(Loud cheers.) He moved a vote of thanks to their slanderers for the good they had done them.—(Renewed cheers and laughter.) But their excellent Chairman had not told them all they had done. It was right their distant friends should know that, in contributing to the League fund, they were not sending money to be applied for local purposes, but that they were labouring to educate the entire population of these islands.—(Cheers.) They had been labouring for years, but with what contemptible ineans! A small knot of individuals, with a few thousands only, scattered over a period of several years, attempting to educate a nation ! Why, the notion was absurd ; and it was only a marvel they should have made the progress they had.—(llear, hear.) .To carry out the objects of the League as originally designed, they needed that which they were now s e eking and obtaining—national operation. And it was due to the country at large, that they should understand that in contri buting to the funds of the League, they were only sending its reservoirs here a contribution to enable the Council to spread it abroad in fertilising showers, over the whole extent of the country.—(Applause.) There was one plan adopted which 'probably most of thorn had heard of. The Council of the League had, a short time since, advertised for Prize Essays, show ing the injurious operations of the Corn-laws upon farmers and farm labourers.—(Applause.) By the first of this month, the time limited, they received a large number. Three had been selected from that number ; and, having had an opportunity of perusing them, he must say that he anticipated the greatest re salts from their publication.—(Hear, hear.) One of them was written by a tenant farmer in Scotland, paying 1,500/. a year rent, and he said, " I have laid out a large sum of money which I expect to be re imbursed before the expiration of my lease, and yet I s:iould be delighted to see the Corn-laws abolished before the end of the next session of Parliament"— 8 200 MONEY DIVIDENDS will be divided on the 30th Instant, amongst EIGHT THOU SAND TWO HUNDRED SELECTED Bonds of the LOAN negotiated in the year 1820, and GUARANTEED by the GO VERNMENT and his Royal Highness the GRAND DUKE of BADEN. 1 Dividend 50,000 Florins 50,000 Florins 1 do. 25,000 do. f 1 do. 12,000 do 1 do. 10,000 do. 1 do. 5,000 do. 8 do. 1,000 do. each B,OOO do. 10 do. 500 do. each 5,000 do. 10 do. 200 do. each 2,000 do. 2.)0 do. 110 do. each 22,000 do. 200 do. 105 do. each 21,000 do. 467 tio. 100 do. each 46,700 do. 7,300 do. 94 do. each 686,200 do. 8,200 Money Dividends, amounting to 892,900 Florins, or £74,400 Sterling Money. 8,200 SELECTED Bonds, each of which is sure to obtain one of the above Dividends.

LONDON : SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1842. It affords us personally considerable pleasure .0 find the merely Whig journals become the zealous advocates of the repeal of the sliding scale. They now treat the question of the Corn laws, as we have been for years in the habit of treating it, as of vital importance, and claim great credit for the late Ministers, because they took it up in 1841. If the Whig Ministers adopt the opinions of the Whig journals, how much must they regret the determined opposi tion which they gave to Mr. VILLIERS, and to every other advocate of the repeal of the Corn laws in 1838, 1839, and 1840. They were not contented in the two first of those years with holding themselves even neutral in the contest — they took the lead in defeating the free trade party, and brought to bear against it all the influ ence and power they possessed in both Houses of Parliament. They, even resisted the motions for inquiry. Their leader denounced the free traders as little better than madmen; and both by their language and their votes they confirmed and strengthened the most odious monopoly that ever crushed the energies of a people boasting of freedom. It seems by the language and con duct of their journals, which harp on this subject day after day, and speak of the Corn-laws as of the last importance, that the party is now filled with bitter regret at its former unreflecting conduct. The influence of prosperity or adversity, in ex tending or curtailing the franchise, to which we yesterday adverted, ought to add to their shame at not having perceived the consequences of their own measures. By pursuing a course of restrictive policy which prevented the gradual extension ,of the franchise, and which dis franchised a great number of intelligent artisans, they dried up the sources of their own strength. They disfranchised their friends. They increased amazingly the number of their enemies. All who did not get, and all who lost, the franchise, regarded the Whigs as deceivers or traitors, and acted to wards them accordingly. The effect of their measures was to strike down the democracy, and as they themselves were members of the aris tocracy, it was concluded that they designed the effects which they produced. Hence they are treated, and have been treated, by that de mocracy to which they looked, and still look, for support, as having invidiously stolen into its confidence by large promises only to deceive and betray it into the hands of the aristocracy. That is not our opinion, but it is the opinion of great multitudes, who have sutTered privations, gone to decay, or been disfranchised in almost every part of the empire ; and :those who enter tain it hate the Whigs even more: than they hate the Tories. As the Whigs have now seen some of their errors, and as they lean on th e popular or de mocratic party for support, it becomes them to deal plainly, honestly, and frankly with that party. What line of policy have they adopted ? How do. they propose to win hawk the affection and support of the people ? If they think _ley can obtain that on akcount of their former character and siwation, without laying before the public a clear and definite plan of proceeding, they are mistaken. Above all, what do they proputie to do with the Corn-laws ? The Monopolists c light now gladly accept and support the Whig 'proposition of an Bs. fixed duty as a safe retreat. They might ex pect with that, as a barrier, d !fended both by Whigs and Tories, to resist tlr.le progress of free trade opinions, and continue! to plunder the people some time longer. flat a fixed duty of 83. would please no other ps rty ; and if the Whigs rest their policy on thar f , they must give up all hopes of support except •om the Monopo lists, and they should at once openly connect them selves with the Anti-Tree-trade party. What ever may be their intentions, e.nd whatever line of policy they are disposed - to adopt, we can assure them, in the most friendly spirit, `hat if they wish to filaid any support 'yond their personal friends, they must state nat policy in a clear, definite, and authorised manner, to the public. They must imitate Sir R OB ERT PEEL. When his discomfited party was to be rallied, he laid dov.TA , published, and adhered to certain principles 3, and to a plan of action, which at length phis ced him in office. The Whigs must do the sarrA, e, and we advise , , . - i Y., ' ,4:14.) - , -.., et 4 itc* -9 ,- sra-r:Wz.‘"l* 11.. r . -. , ,< ~,1 7 , 7 v • 1'11t, kr .w. ,,P 1 1 1% 0 , 44 4)P - i- --- ..--- ' „„,_ '‘) - ' ~, '''-fai: 3 s * , - ' •,, ,2=-P:4 4-- - .1 14bje _: Am. ilb them to begin their future career by openly dis , carding their nostrum of a fixed Bs. duty. At present the price of wheat is 50s. per guar , ter; an Bs. duty is therefore 10 per cent. on the people's food. At the cost price of the wheat in foreign countries, supposing that to be 40s. per quarter, the proposed duty will be 20 per, cent. Taking the question in one way, the Whig scheme would levy '2O per cent. certain, and taking it the other, 16 per cent. certain, on all the food'of the community for the advantage of the landlords. The greater proportion of the in come of the bulk of the people is necessarily spent in food, the price of which enters into the price of all other articles, and therefore the Whig Bs. fixed duty proposes to take 16 per cent. from the income of the bulk of the commu nity to put into the pockets of the landowners. What an enormous, and yet what a partial in come-tax ! That cannot be borne ; and now that public attention has been roused and fixed on the subject, will not be borne ; and therefore, if the Whigs wish to obtain public support, they must advance .to total repeal. They gave up their opposition to unsettling the Corn-law; they proposed to unsettle it, and tailed; and now they must make another step, if' they mean to main tain a political existence, and, by uniting cordially with the League, insure the total and immediate abolition of all Corn and Pro- Au immense deal, we think, hangs on their decision, at least hangs on the total and immediate repeal. That may, but nothing else can, place . our trade and agriculture on a right basis, and restore the national prosperity. Sir R. PEEL'S system is worse than the one he has altered. It degrades prices without kindling enterprise. What will be the consequence? Increased suffering and probably an increased aversion to unfetter commerce. Following our bad example, and encouraged by success, of which they know not the cause, threign countries have already altered their tariffs with a view to raise their own trade and depress ours. For want of freedom our trade will probably decay; the bulk of the community are more likely to suppose the cause of that to be those foreign tariffs than • our own suicidal regulations. Old national enmities, which trade would stifle, will probably be rekindled, and England will become involved in poverty and discontent at home and war abroad. Such fearful and disastrous con sequences it is in the power of the Whigs to avert, by boldly following out the principles they profess, and becoming the avowed advocates of total and immediate repeal, _and. of unlimited freedom of trade. Something like a reproach, we see, is thrown out . by the Journal des Debats against the French Government, and it is echoed by the Times, because that Government is obliged to regulate its measures by the prejudices of certain manufacturing interests. But what is the case with our statesmen ? Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Lord PALMERSTON, with almost every Parliamentary leader, have declared broadly in favour of the principles of free trade. They must be the most deceitful of men, or they must believe that were our laws to be framed on these prin ciples it would be beneficial to the community. But they do not, and dare not, carry out their ownprinciples. They succumb to the prejudices of certain landlords. The true government resides not in them, but in some combination of igno rant and prejudiced owners of the soil. They sacrifice the principles which they believe to be the true guides of nations, and consent to govern the State—consent to administer public affairs, contrary to their own better judgment, on the narrow, selfish views of an ignorant, besotted class of men. Instead, then, of the nation being governed by their wisdom, it is governed by the selfishness of the landlords, of which our boast- ing statesmen make themselves the humble tools. In their conduct is neither courage nor dignity, and they who profess free trade prin- ciples, and consent to administer the Govern ment in the interest, and under the control, of the landlords, are, in our judgment, not with _ standing their high offices, poor, low-minded servile, dependent, degraded men. COURT CIRCULAR. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, at tended by Colonel Jones, arrived at his residence at Kew on Thursday afternoon, from a visit to her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager, at Canford House, Dorset shire. His Royal Highness visited her Royal High ness the Duchess of Gloucester, at Gloucester House, yesterday, and in the afternoon returned to Kew. The Committee on Education of the Lords of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council had a meeting at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Colonial-office. The Lords present were—Lord Wharncliffe, the Lord President ; the Duke of Buc cleuch, Lord Privy Seal ; Sir Robert Peel, First Lord of the Treasury ; Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the Home Department; and the Earl of Ripon, President of the Board of Trade. Their Lordships sat two hours. The Earl of Lincoln visited Sir Robert Peel yes :crday at his official residence in Downing -street. GREENHITHE PIER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. Mr. Charles Bayly's compliments to the Edi tor of The Evening Sun, and, as a Director of the Greenhithe Pier Company, he begs to correct an error which occurs in the notice of the opening of the Pier, contained in The Sun of the sth instant, in respect of the names of the engineers who have designed and executed the work. Those names should have been Messrs. Birch, and not Bush—the gentleman con nected with the " Light of All IN ations" having nothing to do with this Pier. Mr. Bayly, therefore, trusts that the Editor will correct the mistake, as a measure of justice to Messrs. Birch, to whom alone any merit attached to this structure is due. % Rnockholt Lodge, near Greenhithe, Nov. 11. [The error must have been committed by the printer mistaking "Bush" for "Bitch."—ED.

The name of the cause is Sloggett v. Viant, and not Bryant, as your Reporter has it. But the most material error is the assertion that .Mr. Bethell's motion was granted, whereas the contrary is the fact, his motion for security for costs having been by the Vice-Chancellor dismissed with costs.

CELEBRATION or TIII3 PRINCE OF WALES'S BIRTH DAY.—WhiIe some of the tradesmen of Brighton were celebrating the birthday of the infant Prince, at the White horse Hotel, on Wednesday evening, the company were disturbed by some miscreant throwing through the window a stone of two or three pounds' weight, which glanced by the head of the high con stable, who was in the chair, and fell on the table. Several persons immediately rushed out, but the ruffian had escaped. Loss OF TIIE RlCARDo. — Extract from a letter of a passenger in the Ellenborough, Captain Close, ar rived at Calcutta :—" We had to witness the calami tous catastrophe, the loss of the ship Ricardo, which was in company with us the day before, and next day struck on a sand bank and swamped. Out of thirty men on board her our boats were enabled to save but twenty, the other poor fellows being drowned or seized by alligators before they could be resued." Sir Robert Peel has honoured Mr. Martin, the historical painter, by n om i na ti n g his eldest son to the appointment of a Supernumerary Surveyor of Taxes. , PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. LONDON, Nov. 12, 1842. The following average prices of Brown or Musco does British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub lished in the Gazette of last night : West India 365. 41d. per cwt. East India 37 6 Mauritius No returns. The average price of the two descriptions, taken jointly, is 365. Bid. per cwt. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the Bth inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the Sugar bro kers, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con sisted of 31,374 cwt. West India, 13,878 cwt. East India. About 400 cwt. of very dark unsound sugar has been sold in the same week, which, having been classed in the returns as East India, unfairly depresses the average prices of that kind of Sugar, as well as the total average price. Foreign Sugars, equal in quality to the average of West India Sugar may be bought for 18s. per cwt., they are consequently 18s. 4d. per cwt. cheaper. The total sales for the week in Atincing lane were 45,252 cwt.; taking the sales at the out ports to be together the same as the London market, the consumers bought 90,500 cwt. ofsugar at 365. Bid. per cwt., amounting in round numbers to 166,0001. sterling; they might have bought the same weight, 90,500 cwt. of foreign sugar, at 18s. per cwt., amount ing to 81,4501. sterling; they have therefore given the monopolists over and above the real value of their sugar 84,5501., which, added to the excess shown last week, 76,7501., makes 161,3001., being the fruits of the sugar monopoly for the last fortnight. We cannot too frequently impress upon the public mind the important fact, that a protecting duty of ls. per cwt. in favour of British Muscovado Sugars is equivalent to taxing the consumers of them indirectly to the annual amount of 200,0001. sterling, the weight of Sugar taken in the year for home use, is in round numbers four million cwt., four million shillings are exactly 200,0001. If protection were altogether re moved, the consumers would buy foreign Sugar, of a quality equal to West India, at 17s. 6d. per cwt.; as there is an abundance of it, it follows as a matter of course, that British Sugars must inevitably fall to that price, or remain unsold on the importers' hands ; but if a duty of 255. per cwt. be imposed on foreign, and only 245. per cwt. on British Sugars, the con ' sumer would not be able to buy, the former duty paid, under 425. Gd., namely, 17s. Gd, and 255. duty, per cwt.; the present monopolists would also sell their Sugars, duty paid, at 425. 6d. per cwt.; but as they would have to pay a duty of 245. per cwt., they would obtain 18s. 6d. per cwt., in lieu of 17s. Gd., upon all the Sugar they sold. The enormous average price quoted last night in the Gazette, is entirely the consequence of a stinted supply, which limits consumption, by deny ing the use of Sugar to numerous classes, who cannot afford to pay the high price. It i s we ll cribwn to the retail distributors of Sugar, that when the price rises from sd. to 6d. per lb., immense numbers of persons who have been in the habit of using Sugar at 51. per lb., cease to purchase it altogether ; and when the price rises from Gd. to 7d per lb., the same thing ocs curs with those who have been consuming Sugar at 6d. per lb., rather than pay the advance, they will teach their families to abstain from the use of Sugar. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule—these for the most part are wealthy people, who would have Sugar at almost any price; they are, how ever, the few, compared against the great hulk of the consumers. Thus it is, then, that through a restricted use of the article, the duties on Sugar diminish as they did in the last quarter, to the great detriment of the revenue. This diminution is not only a vast annoyance to' the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has formed his . calculations for various disbursements on the expectation of receiving the usual amount of Money, but likewise to the pub lic at large, who are called upon to make up the de ficiency by some other tax. Had the duties on Sugars been equalised five years ago, and the powers of consumption brought into vigour by low price, there would now, for instance, have been no ne e d o f an Income-tax ; the Government would have had the ten or twelve millions from Sugar duties which that tax is intended to replace. If the differential Sugar duties are not altered—that is remain. as at present— for three years longer, it stands to reason that another Income-tax will be required to make good the deficiency in the revenue which will in fallibly accrue. Perhaps, by way of disguising the operation of giving undue protection to the colonists, the Minister will hit upon some such expedient as he has upon corn. 'With regard to that article, if the accounts from Canada are correct, a merchant may exchange his goods at New York for wheat, provided the wheat, in lieu of being shipped direct for a Bri tish port, be sent via the St. Lawrence, the merchant will have to compete with the costs of transport to Canada, which will be probably about 3s. 6d. a quar ter, which, added to the duty to be imposed for.the benefit of the Canadians, 35. per quarter, and Is. 6d. per quarter extra for freight from Canada, instead of New York,,amount to Bs. per quarter, the corn to be then received here duty free., The only difference between the plan proposed by the late Government of a fixed duty of Bs. per quarter a n d th e sc h eme i n embryo is, therefore, that, in one instance, the whole of the duty would have gone to fortify the British revenue, and, in the other, the Ss. per quarter are to be divided between the people of the United States i r te d r . and the Canadians, which the consumers h ere , i n eh way, will a h n a n v e e r t t h d e Minister s w h o concoc t e d pay in the price of th e i r bea the foregoing precious scheme for importing wheat at something similar to a fixed' duty, may take it into their heads to encourage the importation of Sugar from all parts of the world into the British Sugar Colonies, provided the colonists will undertake, for their own especial, benefit, to impose a given amount of duty per cwt. upon such imported foreign Sugar, with the condition that the colonists may re-ship the said Sugar for the British markets, the Government here charg ing it with a duty equal to that levied on colonial Sugar, granting thereby a protection to the British Sugar producers, and raising the price of it to con sumers to a value equivalent perhaps to that proposed to be conferred by the differential duties propounded to the House of Commons last year by Lord John Russell, the main distinction being that the money raised by the portion of duty levied in the colonies going anywhere but to the British Exchequer. The landed interest, now that the protection on their pro duce is considerably diminished, should in justice to themselves, and to their dependents, insist upon a corresponding reduction in the prohibitory duties, which unnaturally bolster up the prices of all colonial produce. THE SUGAR MONOPOLY AND THE AGRICULTURISTS. —The tenant of a large landed proprietor in Oxford shire wants to know why the agriculturists are to be the only class to suffer by those principles of trade which Sir Robert Peel has lately adopted for the benefit of the consumers ; and why they who are all consumers are not to have some corresponding relief? They ask, he says, for no money compensa , tion for depreciation of the incomes by measures adopted for the public good. They want no twenty million from the public purse to pay for their losses, but they want to know why, if their monopoly is mo dified for the relief of other classes, other monopolies are not to be modified also ? Why are the West India proprietors, with their twenty millions in their pockets, to be allowed to keep their monopoly, that agricul turists should be obliged to go on paying them twice as much as they ought for their sugar, &c. ? This is a most reasonable inquiry, which we hope other agriculturists will repeat. The bearings of the sugar monopoly on their interest has been fiequently ad verted to in The Sun, and we agree with the tenant, that the sugar monopoly should be abated as well as the corn monopoly. It is plain, however, that the same influ ence in the Cabinet which preserves the sugar mono poly, allows ships to be victualled at free trade prices. If the tenant, or the tenant's landlord, will ask Mr. Gladstone for a solution of his questions, and press that Right Hon Gentleman for an answer in the surfCo m a T e o rot u tohfe thetr a tl deepm a N y v e p l l o s o - f s fa i I c ) l e y o b f e t t l h 'e r o l N i v ° n u t of e his mind. Her Serene Highness the Princess of Lichtenstein has forwarded to the Royal Belgrave Lying-in In stitution a handsome donation, with permission toplace her name with the patronesses of the Charity. The Dowager Countess of Westmoreland has sent a second liberal subscription ; the Earl of Liverpool and Lady . Mayoress Pine have also lately become contributors to its funds. This institution commenced in 1832, under the especial patronage of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and was then confined to the out-ward of the parish of St. George but from its suc cess, its operations have since been extended to the eight west-end parishes, and ul)wards of 300 poor married women are now annually attended gratui tously in their accouehement. There must be either something impracticable in the Poor-law Bill which renders it unfit for Ireland, or some flagrant mismanagement on the part of the Commissioners and Central Board, which nullifies its operation—when we find the consequence of its appli cation in so many places either a refusal on the part of the people to pay the rates, or debt, embarrassment, and bankruptcy in the particular unions. It is not lona ago since the secretary o f t h e c it y o f C or k U n i on declared that concern to be bankrupt ; and now the Board of ! Guardians of the Middleton Union, in the ounty of Cork, announce themselves, by public ad vertisement, in a similar predicament ; and have fairly cut and mu from the concern—abandoning the poor to their fate, hands of the u n f or t unate master.—Dublin ltfail. and lea v i ng t h e es t a blishment on th e The Commission of Assembly meets in Edinburgh on Wednesday the 16th, and the General Convocation of Ministers on Thursday the 17th.—Scotch Paper. , I 'r liAf 4 ~~~ c~~i✓~ltiWs~yj ,4'Artont '27*7britt tin SUM OFFICE Three o'clock. The annual meeting of the Derby Liberal Operative Association took place in the Lecture ball on Tuesday, when about four hundred mem bers sat down to dinner. Mr. THOMAS GISEORNE, I formerly Member for the county, was in the chair, and made a speech well suited to the oc casion. "I can 'understand," said he, " how a kin g , or a Queen, or a Prince, should be a Tory. I can understand why hereditary legislators, and bishops, and lawyers, and squires should be Tories; but for the life of me I cannot under stand why an operative should be a Tory. When an operative becomes a Tory, his friends (if he has any) should begin to lock after him." 'When the Tories were in opposition, great exertions were made to bring the operatives over to their side. hey were courted by Tory leaders, asso ciations were formed ostensibly for their benefit, but in reality to . weaken and annoy the GoVern meat, and now that the " friends" of the lower classes have obtained their object„ all these Pro testant, . and Tory, and Conservative Clubs, have sunk into utter oblivion. What other re sult could these dupes of a political party ex pect ? Between them and the aristocracy there can be no feelings in common. They are debarred in general from all participation in the franchise, while they arc compelled to pay heavy taxes for the support of armies, and navies, and institutions, from which the higher classes derive all the advantages. All the great items of revenue are raised on articles of consumption used by the lower classes. The taxes on malt, tobacco,- sugar, tea, British spirits, and bread, amounting to more than twenty millions sterling, are paid chiefly by the operatives; while the sums contributed by the aristocracy do not amount to a tithe of the whole; and could these Tory opera tives, men, in Mr. GISBORNE'S opinion, fit only for Bedlam, imagine for a moment that the pri vileged class would allow them a share in the representation, or confer on them additional power, for the purpose of destroying that fabric which the higher classes,for goodyeasons,consider the ornament and security of the country? No. The operatives must trust to themselves and the middle classes. They must conduct themselves with firmness and discretion, support those who encourage education, and thereby prepare the way for their emancipation. They must trust neither to Whig, nor Tory, nor Conservative. 'When united, no Government could resist their just demands, but these demands must be made without vio lence, without exciting fear among all persons possessed of property, and without putting forth wild revolutionary schemes which have defeated,. and ever will defeat, the great object in view. On this subject Mr. GISBORNE makes the follow ing sound remarks : We are placed in a critical position. We see on one side a Ministry who denied the distresses of the people, or who, if they admitted, never heeded them, as if they were not of the slightest importance. On the other side we see some persons who, operated upon by an overweening vanity— or perhaps by more venial influences—have endeavoured. to pervert the minds of the working classes and to withdraw their confidence from those who have steadily and disinte restedly laboured in their cause. Now I warn you against both these parties. I warn you againstthe Government— though I believe it is almost unnecessary. I warn you against those whom I believe to be self-interested, igno rant pretenders to an influence by which they expect to be personally benefited. Between these two parties it behoves us to act firmly and wisely. I hope the operatives of this country will not mistake ignorant and selfish firebrands for their friends. Not that I mean to cast any slur upon leaders that have sprung from the working-classes. On the contrary, I like to see leaders spring up from the operative classes, and two very brilliant examples of that class arc now giving proof of their high qualities. But do not let them be deluded by vain and showy people, who come among them and tell them wild tales about the feats they can perform, which any man wh o re flects for a mo men t w ill find to be utterly imprac ticable. The Journal des - Dcbats and the Courricr Francais have long articles on the annual re port made by the Administration of Customs, relative to the commerce of France with foreign countries and her own colonies. The results shown by this document are genera.ly fa% om able, though there is a considerable falling off in articles of taste and luxury, which are manufac tured chiefly at Paris. Both these journals take a very sensible view of the commercial interests of the country, and reprobate the conduct of the selfish delegates who would repress trade, and make the people pay high prices for almost every necessary of life and every article of cloth ing, in order that a few classes may put money into their pockets, at the expense of the public. The former journal contends that the branches of trade which it is asserted would be materially affected by an union with Belgium, are too firmly based to dread competition, while others which suffer from a want of foreign markets would benefit largely by such a treaty. "In Paris," continues the writer, " many hundreds of the middle class and many thousands of the labouring class are entirely dependent for sub sistence upon the demand for articles of taste and luxury, and it is of importance to the Govern ment, not only as regards what is 'due to these persons, to do all in its power to promote their interests, but also as regards its own stability, to open new relations with foreign countries, with a view of creating more extensive markets for their manufactures. The first object of a prudent Government is to secure prosperity for the in habitants of large towns, for without that poli tical calm is impossible." The following article in the qourrier Francais is evidently written by a man well acquainted with his subject, and we therefore make no apology for giving it at length. We have hopes yet that the public press of France will over come the prejudices of particular interests, and prepare the way for an enlightened system of commerce : • " The special commerce of France (her manufac ' tures, wines, and other home produce) has made a greater progress in proportion than her general com merce. This proves that she is making a more sure and rapid advancement in industry than her neigh bours. But it is at the same time to be remarked that the transit trade has ceased to choose the French territory as the road for the transport of its merchan dise into Germany, and by Switzerland to the Medi terranean. The truly barbarous state of our river navigation has given a preference to Trieste and Genoa. We shall never recover this trade until there is an uninterrupted line of railroad from Marseilles to Strasburg and Basle. Our greatest progress in com merce has been in that by sea, which is increased by 79,000,000 f., while that by land has improved to the extent of 49,000,000 f. only. This must arise from the nature of things, for our ports, one only of which has a dock, and which have no other connection with the interior of the country than by rivers full of sand-banks, have attracted the greatest part of our foreign commerce. When Bordeaux, Nantes, Havre, Dunkirk, Cette, and Mar seilles, have communication with Paris by means of railroads; when Havre and Marseilles in particular shall have had the enlargements and improvements they require, and if, in the mean time the Legislature should humanise the tariff, which at present shuts out all foreign produce from France, and provokes re prisals against us, we may hope that the commerce of -Prance may not be inferior to that carried on by Great Britain with the two continents. The countries with which our commerce has been most active are— the United States, E ng l an d , S w i tzer l and, the States of Sardinia, Belgium, Spain, the German Union, and the French Colonies. To these may be added the less important markets of Egypt, the provinces of La Plata, the African coasts, Russia, and Al ger i a . O ur trade has rela xe d with Denmark, the Hans Towns, Austria, India, China, and Senegal. Of all these countries, Spain is the one whose relations with France have diminished in the greatest proportion. This has borne chiefly on our imports from her. This importation, which in 1840, took a remark able spring, fell back in 1841 below the reach it had obtained in 1839. This was the effect of the political coolness which occurred be tween the two Governments. We should gain a great deal by reducing the entrance duties on Spanish produce ; for Spain has rich mines, a fertile soil, and wou:d, if we take into consideration our national affi nities, afford us a commerce equal to that which we carry on with the English. In the first line of the articles in which there. has been the greatest increase importation stand eotton, silks, oleaginous fruits, oois, threads,. raw. hitks, and skins, common woods, coal, tallow, and generally all . the raw materials for our manufactories. The increase in our exportations has been, on the contrary, in great part upon manu factured articles, as silks, woollen-cloths, and tissues, turnery, paper-hangings, wrought and tanned skins, perfumery, goldsmiths' work and jewellery, millinery, and other articles made in Paris, machinery, and re fined sugars. The increase upon the exportation ot' wines and brandies has not exceeded 5,500,000 f. From these facts, inferences encouraging to our coun try may be drawn. Since our imports are increased, Chiefly on raw material, and our exports on manufac tured goods, we may conchide that France has nothing to fear from competition with foreign manufactures; and that our manufacturers, by exacting the main tenance of high protecting duties, heap upon the people•at large a n onerous burden, without any benefit to themselves."

The packet ship England, Captain Waite, has ,ust arrived, bringing New York papers to the 19th ult., four days later than those brought by the Columbia. The Britannia steam-ship, which sailed from Liverpool 4th October, arrived at Boston in 14 days. The news brought by this arrival is important. A tremendous hurricane had swept along the Southern coast on the sth and 6th October; many ships had been totally lost. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 6th October have been received. It was rumoured that the seat of government was to be transferred from Mexico to Vera Cruz, and that Santa Anna would take command in person of the expedition to Texas, preparations for which are going on vigorously at Vera Cruz. The yellow fever still prevailed at Tampico, the Captain and two seamen of the English brig Harriet, of Belfast, had died of it. LATEST FROM CANADA.--It appears there has been a prodigious excitement produced in Canada by the measures of Sir Charles Bagot, who is accused of sa crificing the interests of the colony, in order to con ciliate the Radical party. The Canada papers allege that the celebrated Edward Gibbon Wakefield is the Mephistopheles of the new Cabinet, and they conse quently assail the Governor with a violence that is perfectly unparalleled. Nothing can equal the fury and bitterness with which the Canada editors have come out against Sir Charles and his Cabinet. MExrco.—News, had reached Tampico that the Mexicans had captured all crafts belonging to the Yucatanos, thereby destroying all their commerce. It was also announced that Santa Anna had pro claimed Vera Cruz the seat of government under the new constitution. The Dictator, for such he is, had left the capital, and it was not known where he had gone. Intelligence had also been received that the "Na poleon" was going to throw dice again for an empire. He will command the expedition against Texas in person—that is, he will be a calm spectator of events from his cabin in the iron steamer Guadaloupe, which is to batter down all the towns and forts of Texas. The attack by land and sea, it is said, will be made simultaneously, General Reis commanding the land forces, and the Dictator the storming regiments. As soon as the transports, sent to Yucatan, arrive at Vera Cruz,. the "water power" will be dispatched to GalveSton. MONEY AND COAIMERCIAL NEWS. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, OCT. 18. The coming elections are the general subject of discussion among business men, and as the events in dicate a probable result - in faVour of the existing state of things, in this State,' a better feeling is manifest. The sales at the Board to-day were large in the sound Stocks, with firm prices. In fancy stock there was less disposition to buy, and prices drooped— Harlem fell -1-; Long Island i ; Canton County . rose I. The paper currency of the country is now so far sub verted that a vacuum remains in the channels of busi ness, into which specie is rushing with great rapidity. The influx of a sound currency cannot but brighten up values, and give an impulse to activity in trade. We may therefore rationally look forward to steady improvement in commercial affairs. The check given by the tariff to business cannot be permanent, because trade will force its way, in spite of all restriction, wherever it is profitable. The British Government is already making rapid strides towards concentrating the trade-of the Western States into its provinCes. The late tariff has thrown a large . portion of the business for which they were contend ing into their hands. The only difficulty under which Canada laboured was impassability of the St. Law rence in the winter season. The remedy for this has been obtained in the late treaty, by which a tract of land has been ceded to her on which to construct a railroad communication from Quebec to the eastern provinces, affording a safe, speedy outlet for the trade of all the provinces.
