The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.3, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the 'authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet._ _ _ The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most - of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex• trentely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • Lion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, :wit as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature,' hereditary taint, Ecc4 is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any ether class or ffections. We do not think we go tee far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," Sm., to the eareful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel as physical advantages sure to result froth such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need *1 them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As t• the duration of the coin plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of I/., without which, no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the most inviolable seeress , may be relied on. FOR BILE, IN DIGI..:STION, AND DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND LIVER. DR. A. A. HARVEY'S ANTIBILIOUS and FAMILY APERIENT PILLS have long been prescribed and found eminently useful by one of the most experiericed members of the College of Surgeons, who, from his extensive practice since he has resided in Bath, and in the East Indies while Surgeon in the Honourable East India Company's Ser vice, has had innumerable instances brought under his notice of the relief afforded by these Pills. They have been for many years known only .to a limited extent, but the increasing do.. mand for them 'n ether places has induced the Proprietor to off' them more generally to the public.

DE MONTFORT.—This new novel is destined to run a career as brilliant as was ever achieved by an unacknowledged production—" unacknowledged," but not unsuspected ; for the genius that beams in every page has already directed conjecture as to the authorship. As the subject of " De Montfort" is the life and adven tures of an English Nobleman of the old school, and as not only the manners but the actual personages of eighty years ago are sketched with marvellous vigour and rea lity, it has been surmised that the work must have been printed from a, manuscript of that date ; the probability, however, is, that it is a production 'of one of the Most eloquent, versatile, and able of living novelists. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHORESS .OF TEMPTATION."—We are requested to state that the new novel, 'entitled " The School for Wives," by the Authoress of " Temptation," is published this day by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough-street, and may now be had at all the Libraries.

GRAND DEMONSTRATION IN FA VOUR OF A TOTAL REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. (Abridged from the Glasgow Saturday Post.) This important Convention, the assembling of which has been looked forward to with feelings of much interest and anxiety, commenced its sittings yesterday, at twelve o'clock, in the Trades' Hall. In ordinary' circumstances, an assembly called for such a purpose would have commanded both atten tion and respect; but in the present crisis, when trade is pars lized, when industry is suspended, and when gaunt starvation stalks over the length and breadth of the land, its meeting as sumes a national importance, and its proceedings, were, even in anticipation, regarded with a degree of intense interest, which no public movement in this part of the country had previously called forth. And the reports of the Deputies, which follow, will amply prove that the mass of the working population of this kingdom have reached that point in depression—and that trade and credit are in that disorganized position, which must call for an immediate remedy, otherwise anarchy, ruin, and national bankruptcy are the certain results. Mr. WALTER Ike nalgaN (in the unavoidable and re gretted absence of Mr. Alexander Johnston, M.P., who was detained from indisposition) took the Chair. Upon the plat form we observed a number of the gentlemen who have taken an interest in the Anti-Corn-law movement in Glasgow, in ad dition to a large body of deputies from the country. The body of the hall was well filled, a considerable number being members of the working classes. Mr. WALTER Bnciiarusr, in taking the Chair, said— Gentlemen, you are all aware that this meeting is held under the auspices of the Glasgow Anti-Corn-law Association. Its purpose is to hear statements regarding trade and the condition of the working classes in those districts from which deputies have attended, and, at the same time, to communicate to them a similar kind of information as regards the trade and the con • dition of the operatives in Glasgow. lam here occupying the Chair which Mr. Johnston, M.P., ought to hove occupied. He has been the Chairman of the Anti •Corn-law Association of Glasgow for many years, and took an active share in ita preceedings when they were regarded as of much less interest and importance than they now are, and when the move ment for Corn-law repeal occupied a much smaller share of public attention than It does now. You will all regret with me that he is not able to be here. Pie many years he has pre dicted the ruinous effects of this restiletivcaravetnnixin the in dustry and prosperity of the country. After referring to th e meetings which have already taken place, Mr. B. concluded, I hope we shall follow in the same course net unworthily ; and I trust that all who look to the vast importance of the subject for which we have met, will lend it their willing and cordial co-operation. Glasgow will be looked to over the country, and I know that the result of this meeting will not afford cause for disappointment.—(Loud applause. ) REPORTS OF THE DEPUTIES. Provost lIENDERSON said the town of Paisley was an ex ception to the general rule. They had sent no written answers. The first query put, applied to Paisley, should have been reversed. Not how many of the population are unem ployed, but how many of them are in employment. With them unemployment was the rule, and employment was the excep tion. Comparatively few of the workmen of Paisley were em ployed, they were broken up, and to be found wan d er i ng a b out in every town in the country, begging for bread, independent of those thousands whom they had at home, supported by charity. Paisley had literally been martyred by the Corn-laws. When in Edinburgh two days ago he had heard a report that there had been a riot in Paisley, and that a granary had been broken into, his reply on hearing the statement was, " Well, I would not be surprised though such a thing has taken place ; but if it has lam glad it was in my absence." He was then asked what regiment was quartered at Paisley, wh en h e answered there is some regiment, but it is of little difference, he would never call them out to compel the people to die for want. But if it were to go to the worst, if they were to be deprived of the means of procuring food for the people, and if a granary, under such circumstances, were to be broken open, he would never place the lives of the people and the value of property on the same level. He would not give his consent that the military should be called out to compel the people when thus driven to supply themselves with food. He made this statement deliberately, ad% isedly, and he wished it to go forth to the Lord Advocate and the Home-office. DUNDEE. Mr. BAXTER, President of the Anti-Corn-law Association of Dundee, said that city contained 66,000 inhabitants, and he was happy to say that their situation was far better than the town of Paisley. The spinning population of Dundee were employed, but their wages were very low, provisions very high, and great distress existed amongst the out-door weavers, many of whom were only partially employed. Mr. B. con cluded by reading the following statements : Factory Weavers—Total number of looms, 3,131: of which in employment, 1,238; partially employed, 504; unemployed, 1,345 ; total of persons employed, 1,319 ; partially employed, 654, unemployed, 1,458 ; starchers employed, 70 ; unemployed, 113 ;—total, 3,331. Of those employed 360 are working Go vernment sailcloth, the contracts for which are nearly made up. Out-door Weavers—The present rate of wages paid for out door weaving is not sufficient to enable a married man to pro vide the necessary quantity of wholesome food for the use of a family, independent of clothing and education,—many of the children are to be seen in this inclement season of the year without shoes or stockings ; a few only at the age of thirteen can read, and still fewer can write ; and in very many cases it is to be feared that extreme poverty has produced in the minds of parents a disregard to the education of their children, either moral or religious. In 1836 weavers' wages were 40 per cent. higher than they are at present. (Mr. Baxter also made some statements relative to the different trades employed, and the quantity of butchers' meat consumed, similar to those already published in The Suit.) IMPORTS BY rOREIGN VESSELS. Vessels. Tens. 1834 1840 120........ ....8,250 How did it happen that foreigners were able to carry on lower terms; but in consequence of the cheapness of their food ? As it took 30s. to purchase :n this country the same quantity of wheat which could be bought in Hamburgh at 125., and that while beef was 6d. here, it was only 2 1 / 2 d. to 3d. there at far thest. Another disadvantage under which the shipping interest of this country was placed, was, that they were forced to pur chase wood from the landlords in England, or be content with the rotten fir of Scotland, as they could not import the superior timber of the Baltic. He held it to be quite clear, that except the timber duties were repealed, their shipping interest would ze to ruin.—( Hear.) The number of vessels, British and Foreign, follows,_ which had left Aberdeen in ballast from 1 . 83_4 was as ._....... . British vessels left Aberdeen and Peterhead in ballast. : Vessels. Tons. 1834 1840 lO5 ... .. Foreign vessels which left Aberdeen and Peterhead in ballast during the same period. Vessels. Tons. 1834 1840 In Aberdeen vessels were supplied with ballast, with the sand dredged out of the harbour, and the returns of vessels which had left that port in ballast showed perhaps more clearly than any other thing could do the decrease in their export trade. The following was a statement of their exports to America be ginning with 1834:—. 1 8 834 ... 5,221 tons ... 2,320 Thus was their sma ll export trade going to destruction. Within the last two months two mills had stopped, one of these employing 500 and the other 300 hands, and such a state of things could not continue without having its due effect upon all, in the slightest degree interested in the matter. Another thing he might remark was that the Custom Duties at Aber deen had gone on increasing for many years, and he had learned from the Comptroll er , j us t b e f ore he left, that last year there was a decrease for the first time of 2,000/. Again monopolies were fast increasing their paupers. From a list of the paupers in the Parish of St. Nicholas for the last sixty years, it appeared that in 1780 there were 420, at an expense of 5601., and in 1840, 1,600, at 4,600/. The assess • went in Aberdeen for the poor, up to 1824, had been volun tary, but since they had been legally assessed, and it had in creased from 4d. to Is. 84. per pound, arid from the centre to the circumference of the parish, there was an excitement upon the subject which threatened, as in England, in the end to send them back to the landlords.—(Cheers.) He had analysed the poor's roll, and lie kad found that fully one-half of the poor paupers were from the country parishes. SALTCOATS: The state of this locality is principally affected by the con dition of the hand-loom weavers, who constitute a great pro• portion of the population of this village, and of the adjoining villages of Stevenston and Ardrossan. KIRRIEMUIR. The population of the town and parish of Kirriemuir, ac cording to the last Csn3us, was 7,001. There are about 2,100 weavers, of whop 1,700 are employed, and the idle and par tially employed may be stated at 400. The average weekly earnings at present is ss. 4d., from which has to be deducted, for winding, loom-rent, and light, is. 9d. per web. The poverty at present is greater than at any former period during the minister's incumbency (thirty years). AUCHTERMUCHTY. It appears from the reports before us that in Auctermuchty parish, including the village of Dunsheth, there are 18•tt7 per cent, of the weavers out of ernpoyment. The increase of paupers in this district in 1841, over that of 1831, amounted to no less than 172.22 per cent. BAN K FOOT. The population of this village is between 700 and SOO, of which 273 are without any means of support. In the year 1624, a man could earn es. 9d. per week ; in the year 1841, he could not earn more than 31. Hid. CUAINOCK.: Mr. TORRANCE ' of Cumnock, said, like the delegate from Girvan, he also had been nominated by a Chartist, and se conded by a Chartist, at the meeting at which he was elected. In Cumnock there was a universal feeling amongst all classes in favour of an entire and immediate abolition of the obnoxi ous Corn-law.. The population was about 1,200. They were mostly engaged in agriculture, and the farmers, in consequence of the pressure of the times, were going rapidly down in the world. Other trades were bad. The people believed that monopo lies, and especially the Corn-law, was the chief cause of all their sorrow, and th e y earnes tl y h oped that this meeting would have an effect at head-quarters—or the folk up bye, as the laying is.—(Laughter and applause.) EDINBURGH. Mr. Duwtor, of Edinburgh, regretted that, front some misunderstanding, he had not been able to obtain that informa tion which ought to have been laid before this assembly. His constituents were for no compromise on this subject. MAUCHLINE. _ _ _ Mr, Pavoiv, from Mauchline, said—his was a small village. There were not many idle persons in Manchline, but what work they had, was very inadequate to support them. LARGS. Mr. PERSTON, Largs—From its connection with Paisley, the principal part of their weaving trade was greatly depressed. The number of the inhabitants of Largs and its neighbourhood was 3,000. Of the weavers in the town, 65 were employed, 176 out of employment. Those who depended upon these were about 159 draw boys, and, 88 pirn winders, who even when in full employment had miserably low wages. 'fhe general opinion was that the Corn-law embarrassed trade, destroyed their means of subsistence, and ruined the best interests of the country. They were for a total repeal.—(Cheers.) STRANRAER. Mr. M'Cuinocii, from Stranraer—Theirs was not a ma nufacturing town, but chiefly agricultural. They had a little connexion with the sea, and the vessels in the port were the means of supporting trade. They considered that the Corn-laws were injurious to the farmers, and in his district, he was happy to state, the farmers were beginning to see that themselves. Of Linlithgow, Milton and Duntocher, Maybole, Kilwinnn• ing, Kilmarnoch, and Kilsyth, similar statements were made. This concluded theevidence of the delegates, and the meet ing adjourned. Members of the House of Commons who spoke and voted in support of the same."—(Cheers. ) Mr. Villiers had taken a part in this question which entitled him to the gratitude of every Corn-law reformer ' • and amongst the numb er h e m i g ht class Sir. Robert Peel and the Tories. Mr. Villiers had the merit of having taken up the question of Corn-law repeal at a time when it was by no means popular. He came forward in 1838, and exhibited an energy, and zeal, and talent, in ex posing the evils under which the country laboured from the Corn-laws, which at once placed him at the head of this move ment, and by which he had established for himself an imperish able name among all those who were sincerely attached to the cause.—( Cheers.) We say to these gentlemen, Go on !—Go on ! there is much yet to do; but in the name of truth and justice we promise you a triumph.—(Cheers.) And when the pen of some future !Historian tells of their struggles— of their assaults often repeated—frequently defeated—but still renewed, against the selfishness which was opposed to them, and of the triumph which they shall certainly achieve, it will not be necessary to pass any vain eulogium on their efforts, but only to point to revived and prosperous industry—to com mercial activity reanimated—to the swelling sails bringing to the shores of Britain the produce of every clime , and to con trast all this with the dark and gloomy days of the landlords' supremacy.—( Cheers.) The toast was received with great applause. Mr. Fox Mature saki—ln the name of my Hon. Friend Mr. Villiers, and also in the name of the other Members of the House of Commons referred to, and my own name, I beg that tkis company will accept of our best thanks for the honour they have conferred upon us. Mr. Villiers has earned by his con duct in the Commons, distinguished as it has been by firmness, and marked as it has always been by courtesy and gentleness, —he has earned for himself a monument mere imperishable than brass ; and long after this great question has been set at rest by the voice and determination of the combined country, Mr. Villiers' memory will live as having given the vast stone its first impulse, and will be endeared to the memory of all who hold England's greatness fixed in their hearts.— (Great applause.) Gentlemen, from this vast assembly, re spectable in numbers, but infinitely more respectable for the talent it commands, I will be proud to convey . to Mr. Villiers the enthusiasm with which his health was received; and I feel quite sure that even if he needed any encouragement to pro ceed in the path which has redounded so much to his credit, the encouragement of such a meeting as this will give him a .new impetus on the road:—(Cheers.) When I look to the position of England—when I look to the station she has hi therto held among the nations of the world, having upon al most all occasions little to do but to lead the way ' either in peace er war, t o h ave th e na ti ons o f th e wor ld f o ll ow in her path—when I see the proud position she has held, I confess that it strikes me with alarm to see some of her classes cling ing to a course of policy which, in my opinion, must endanger that position most essentially. What ! is it nothing that England shall be left isolated in her position, and exposed to restrictions by the rest of the nations of the world? Can any arm be more powerful to act against her than a combi nation of nations leagued in a commercial treaty from which England shall be excluded? Are there any enemies of Eng land who would like to see such a consummation? Are there none who, shaded behind the plausible veil of diplomacy are at present trying to work out such an occurrence ? My Honourable Friend has mentioned the Germanic League, extending free trade in all its ramifications. We have heard it whispered of Spain, so lately bound in the chains of bigotry and superstition, that she is looking to the benefits of free trade, and breaking loose from the shackles by which she has so long been bound; even Spain is whispering of the benefits she would derive to her people and her finances from an extended system of commerce. Is England to be be hind even Spain in such views as these ? God forbid ! and I trust that by the energies of the people of England, exhibited in demonstrations such as this, that those who are banded to gether to uphold monopoly, may find their seats so shaken under them that they shall relinquish them prudently and in time, else the country will receive a shock, for the cause of which it can only look to itself.—(Great cheering.) Gentle men, it has been said, and very likely with too good reason, that those who resist the alteration of the Corn-laws, and who most strongly upheld the present system of things, are the landed proprietors and the tristocracy of the country. Let me re mark to you, however, as belonging to that class, perhaps, that they are, although much, not altogether to blame. For we found, not long ago, in a'cliscussion on free trade in the House of Commons, that certain other monopolists were just as for ward as the monopolists of corn to maintain the present impo litic system.—( Hear, hear.) For myself, I cannot see why the landed proprietors should dread the abolition of the Corn. laws.—(Cheers.) I have looked to the question in all its various bearings. I have talked to practical agriculturists on the question—to men who know what the capabilities of soil are, and what, too, are the capabilities of industrious and ac tive heads; and they tell me that, if we will leave them their own industry and energy free and unshackled, they will get on tolerably well, even although the Corn-laws are repealed. —(Hear.) I confess that I have derived some little satisfaction from a great agricultural meeting which was held lately in the county of Lincoln. I cannot say that I have received much satisfaction from its results ; but things took place at that meeting, where Mr. Christopher developed his plan of a reform of the Corn.laws, that have given me the greatest satisfaction. _For when I read that he whom I . had seen in the House of Cominons, and other friends around me had seen, denouncing with the fiercest wrath, and the bitterest enmity, any who presumed to touch these sacred and inviolable laws; when I have seen that gentleman pour forth torrents of indignation against my friend, Mr. Villiers, I cannot but hail with some satisfaction the admission made to the Lincolnshire farmers, in words admitting of no doubt, that the time had come when the voice of public opinion was net to be resisted, and a change must take place in the Corn-laws.—(Tremendous cheering.) This indeed is consolatory ; but as to Mr. Chris topher's plan, I think we may whisper to him that it is not the plan which public opinion will sanction.—( Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, it is nut for me to anticipate what her Majesty's Government . purpose on this head ; but one channel into which I see their minds are running, aid which I view, I cenfess,with some alarm, as tending rather to inflict injury in the country than to confer a benefit on it, is an extensive system of emigra tion.—( Hear, hear.) 1 object most solemnly to a wide door being thrown open, through which emigration can scarcely be said to be voluntary, but through which a starving populace, tempted by the magnitude of the plan, and the prospect of the success held out to them beyond seas, shall be pushed into a system of expatriation, terminating not only in increased mi sery to themselves abroad—increased misery, because, termi nating not only with none of the advantages they were led to expect, but with all the recollections of home and country hanging heavy at their hearts, when home and country are no longer theirs.—(Loud cheers.) Such a system is dangerous to the country, by removing only the healthy and able-bodied of our population, and locating them in the c olonies, while we leave the unhealthy and the infirm to be maintained with a scanty population at home.—(Cheers.) I trust, tlierefoje, the country will be on its guard against rushing into any extensive system of emigration. The Hon. Ge ntleman concl u ded by giving "Earl Fitzwilliam, with the Mem bers of the House of Peers who supported his motion for the considerati▪ on of the Corn-laws."—( The toast was drank with g reat cheeri▪ ng.) The CHAIRMAN gave—" The deputations from various parts of Scotland, who have honoured us with their presence on this occasion, and Provost Bain, Greenock."—( Cheers.) Provost BAIN, of Greenock returned thanks, and gave— " The Farming Tenantry of Scotland , an d may they soon dis cover that they derive no benefit from the present Corn-laws." I understand there are several of this class in the meeting, and it is most gratifying to know that these gentlemen are at length beginning to see that they derive no benefit from the laws which press so severely on other portions of the community. Mr. SritouLn returned thanks on the part of the farmers, and detailed the more healthy feeling which was gaining ground amongst them. The Rev. Dr. HEUGN, after alluding to the Conference at Edinburgh, said—From that meeting I have returned with the conviction deepened, that the essential 'injustice of the Corn-laws in this country has taken such hold of the minds, the consciences, and the hearts, of the great body of the Scot tish people, from the centre of the country to its utmost cir cumference, that they will not now cease from strenuous, de termined, but legal efforts, constitutionally, and therefore irre sistibly made, until the object they seek, and which they now feel they have the right rather to demond than implore, shall be triumphantly accomplished.—( Great cheering.) I have been requested to propose the following toast;—" Thai the Corn and Provision-laws are producing a constant increase of immorality." If you rob one man, • you treat him unjustly ; surely your conduct does not lose its cha racter when you extend your robbery to a hundred]?—(Hear, hear.) Ide net wish to use language unnecessarily severe ; bet I cannot but regard these laws as constant infractions of the law of God, and as etposing the country to his righteous displeasure.—( Hear, hear.) But, Sir, if the laws are im moral, what but immorality can we expect them to pro duce ? But from the great, the immorality of these laws is descending upon the poor; they are rendering the people dis contented, restless, desperate ; they are giving to the under stratum of British society the fearful character of a heated volcano, stirring its mighty fires for a vast beat—a terrific—a ruinous outburst. Sir, that is precisely the ca t as trophe whic h from our hearts we deprecate — which, with all the 111 uent , e Sri can exert, in our persuasions of men, and in our prayers to ,Almighty God, we shall endeavour, while we live, to avert. But to our rulers we say, avert it also, work with us, give the people cheap food, do not dash t h e cup of hope from the lips of the famishing, the long-suffering people. We ask mo rality, we implore mercy, we demand justice—justice and mercy, which are the pillars of the throne of the Eternal, land which alone can give stability to ours.—(Loud applause.) The Rev. Mr. Low of Forfar, had been called upon to pro pose " The abolition of all selfish and class legislation. '— (Cheers.) He rejoiced that the day had come when such a sentiment could be proposed and responded to—not in a hole and corner way. as they knew the friends of civil and:religious liberty were at one time necessitated to speak their conscien tious and heartfelt sentiments, but in a large and intelligent assembly like the present, resolved not to break their bonds of union till all the oppressed go free, and every shackle be broken. He trusted the toast which he had risen to propose would be echoed from this meeting to the city, from this city to another city, from one towd to another town, from one vil lage to another village, from one hamlet to another hamlet, and from the stranger on the way to the stranger whospasseth by, giving no rest to those opposed to them till their objectlwas realised, and till every vestige of class legislation was for ever abolished.—(Cheers.) It could not be denied the evidence was accumulating every day they lived, that there was a spirit of discOntent spreading through the land. This was a spirit which would spread rapidly. It prevailed at the present, and a very little might raise a torrent, that would bring down the throne itself, with the other institutions by which it was sun rounded and upheld. If they continued the cause, they must expect likewise to continue the effect, as selfish and class le gislation could not fail to produce discontent in the minds of those who were placed under its cruel and withering influence. All that he knew or had heard of her Majesty satisfied him, that she earnestly desired the prosperity and happiness of the nation, but still he would take the liberty of saying to her, as Mordecai answered the words of Esther—he said it not in a spirit of braving—not in a spirit of threatening, but with a strong desire for a continuation of the throne, and many of the excellent institutions of the country—( Hear, hear)--" Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the King's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether ho!deth thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliver ance arise to the Jews from another place ; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed; and who knowetli whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this."—( The close of the sentence was almost drowned with cheers and dis approbation, which continued for some time, and Mr. Low ulti mately gave the toast—" The abolition of all selfish and class legislation," without any further remarks. The toast was drank with great applause. ) Mr. P. M. SrEwAur, M.P., rose to propose the next toast, " The abolition of all colonial monopolies of sugar, coffee, and other tropical produce."—( Applause.) As a part and parcel of the general and universal principle of free trade, which they were met here to promote and to further, he gave this tout with every emphasis he could attach to It EVENING SUN. h 411 - 4 dth mica (Cheers.) He might say of our colonies that would i directl y b ene fi t by so'bewaficial a change, ark t . . the landed proprietors of this country mast prosper hilltipet yival of our commerce and national prosperity.--( Cheers.) tfe never could comprehend the sentiment which embraced the foolish notion that the ag r i cu lt ura l, commerc i a l, or manufac turing part of the community could flourish, while the other classes were suffering. His opinion was, that they must' flourish or fade to ge th er, and, like our national emblem, the garland of the rose, the thi stle, and shamrock, that they were bound by a union inseparable, at onee the embleM of our na tional existence, and the t o k en of our national strength.-- (Loud cheers.) With these evidences of distress, any Go vernment that could assume a careless position under suck circumstances, must be compared, not to reTeetable citi zens, but to men like the Emperor of China, a B rot h er o f t h e Moon—(Laughter)—who, far superior to all terrestrial com y motions, looked with unconcern at the fall o f th e stoutest of his pla c es— saw the boldest of his soldiers . runnin g awa that they " might live to fight another day' 'and in Peki n l i - earnt of security—while our troops were at his door demanding re paration for the past, and security for the future—he main tained that a s moons t ruc k must be that Alimster who dreams, like his prototype, the Emperor of China, that he shall be able to uphold our commercial legislation, or save the erasure from the statute book of this law, which pressed so heavy taxation on their suffering f e ll ow - coun t rymen , and to denounce which was the main cause of their meeting this evening. Mr. Stewart concluded amidst thunders of applause. Mr. R. Wscr.r.ace, ALP., differed much from some of his Parliamentary friends, who imagined that the Corn-laws would soon be repealed. He did not think their object would be so easily attained. It was understood that whatever might be in the speech from the Throne at the opening of Parliament, they (the Corn-law repealer:) would be quiescent till after Easter. He, for one, would say no such thing. He would say to them, be on the watch-towers, for if their friends who were reckoned the most active did not bring forward their mo tion in the House of Commons, others would do it.—( cheers.) They should give their enemy nu rest. They should be pre pared by the 3d of February, and give Sir Robert Peel no rest till he went to the church on Good Friday.—(Laughter and cheers.) This should be the tactics. He did not know what tactics had been definitely resolved upon with reference to the Anti. Corn-law movement, but he for one would be in the right place on the opening of Parliament, and if he could., by hook or crook, he would for one break down the selfish system till it would never rise again. He gave 7 A just and equal system of taxation."—(The toast was thee drank with three times three and loud cheers.) The Hon. Fox MA uhe, M.P., proposed thy health of the Chairman, after a complimentary speech. Mr. Oswa en, M.P., returned thanks. Mr. UUTHERFORD, ALP., after alluding to the Reform Act, said—The people of Scotland had already accomplished what was little short of a revolution, without crime or turbu lence, but with sobriety and peace.—( Cheers.) It was im possible that truth should not prevail. It was impossible that a truth, which involved the peace of the empire at large, should not at last force its way into the minds of reluctant parties the Legislature, till their cause was successful He said, le them profit front history, and from recent experience. Le, theta pursue the same course at present which they did ten years ago. Let them held meetings. Let them exercise mu tual forbearance. Let them sacrifice minute differences of opinion. Let them not look behind, but press forward to the mark of their calling, and the day would be theirs ; the tri umph could not be far distant—(Great applause)—and, in ac complishing that object, another proof was added of the great truth of Isis toast, that ‘. the progress of knowledge was the only sufficient guarantee for the diffusion and permanence of free itistitutions."—( Cheers.) Mr. A. GRAHAM was received with loud cheers. The aboli tion of the timber monopoly, though it. may prove a dry subject, is nevertheless a most important toast: at all events, I pro untie not to occupy many minutes of your time. This mono poly has been principally instrumental in provoking the pre sent retaliative exclusion of British manufactures from all the timber-growing countries of Europe. It has also increased by 100 per cent. ,or just doubled the cost of the raw material of the woodwork of all buildings, thereby adding one-fifth or 20 per cent.to the cost of their erection.—(dear, hear.) I n British built. ships, the monopoly price of timber has been still inure pernicious. A ship built at Leith costs 30 per cent. higher than a similar vessel built at Dantzis, and should we by the same rule measure the enhancement of the cost of all Bri bes built ships, the amount of waste from this source would be enormous. Thus does this monopoly sit as an incubus on our commercial marine. It is thus that we exhibit. the inconsist ency of a nation proud of its maritime ascendancy—a nation showing from generation to generation, as household words, the supremacy of its wooden walls, and yet cherishing a monopoly calculated to weaken their foundation.—( Loud cheering.) Down, then, with this as with all other monopolies—they pa ralyze our internal industry, arid limit our foreign commerce-- . they keep our currency and exchanges in a continual fever of fluctuation—they convert our corn trade into a system of jug gling and gambling speculation, and render our very subsist ence the sport of the elements—they make the representatives of the people be viewed by them as their oppressors, and accu mulate in the breasts of the poor towards the rich a mine of hatred, which threatens, like a volcano, to burst out and overwhelm society—they forbid that daily breadior which we are taught to pray, and blasphemously intercept the proffered bounties of Heaven. Mr. DulicAN, M.P. for Dundee, gave " The Liberal Clergy of all denominations." It would be appreciated and responded to by men of enlightened and liberal opinions of all denominations. And they all knew, they daily saw the exer tions of that useful body of individuals, consoling the distressed and alleviating the woes of suffering humanity.—(The toast was responded to with three times three.) Mr. A. G. SPFIKS proposed " Equality of Civil nights t• all denominations." Mr. P. W. STEWAytT then called upon the company to make a bumper out of their heel-tap:7, to a toast which he had to propose. He would remind them before they parted that they bad their Vices. although they bad been very complete that night, for amongst so many as two thousand persons there would be many vices. He would give them five vices—the five Viccs-Chairmen—to whom thvy owed to much, namely, Messrs. Alexander Graham, Walter Buchanan, Jahn Tennant, James Lumsden, and William Gray.—(The toast was drank with all the honours.) Mr. Lu snesr, a short but happy speech, returned thanks for himself and colleagues, and congratulated the com pany on the happiness they enjoyed, and on the prospect of good which was likely to result from the present meeting. The CIIAI till AN, in conclusion, proposed three cheers for the ;total abolition of the Corn-laws, which was heartily respondedito by the company. Three cheers were successively called for and given for the Queen, Prince Albert, and Mr. Fox Maule. The vast assemblage broke up with the greatest decorum and good feeling. P v dfi-r.eit‘?'

Mr. Boy's, of Kirkintilloch, said—Kirkintillock contains above 5,000 inhabitants. About 3,000 are employed at weav ing of muslins, and of a description well known in the trade by the name of lappets, a piece of . goods for which the weaver was paid Is. 7d. ,n 1834-5, was, i n 1836, reduced to Is. 50. in .1837-8, to Is. ; in 1839-40 it - advanced to Is. 3d. ; and in 1841 it again fell to Is. id. The weekly wages made at these prices is 7s. 5d., 6s. 10d., ss. lid., ss. 11d., 4s. I Id., from which falls to be deducted Is. lid. for keeping up his loom. So miserable have the weaving body in the place be come, that a system has been resorted to by great numbers of thorn, which is revolting to even the ordinary feelings of our nature, and which may be stated as follows weaver rents a shop containing 4,6, 8, or 10 looms, which he contrives to get furnished, and which he then fills with boys and girls, which ho collects from the poor-houses, and from tamilies who are in great destit u ti on; t h ese children are set to work, confined anti pushed on in many cases by the necessities, the avarice, Cr the misconduct of those who have them in charge, forming scenes of drudgery, irregularity, destitution of education, clothing, and comfort, which are enough to shock the feelings of every person who has the slightest conception of even the low order in which a human being ought to spend his existence, and all this may be set down to the low state to which the moral feelings are fallen, in consequence of the downward progress of the manufacturers, which form the staple dependenc e of the town. Such a state as that to which the weaving population of Kirkintilloch is fast hastening, calls for the immediate and serious'consideratien of the Government of the country.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. DUNCAN, of Girvan, said the population is upwards of 0,000. There are 2,000 hand-loom weavers in the town. Although I cannot say that there are any altogether unemployed, yet, as they depend entirely on Glasgow and Paisley for employment, thei r prospects are of the most dreary description. Work which was in 1813-14 paid Bd. the ell is now paid at the rate of lid. and 2d., so that a weaver who at the former period could with ease earn 20s. a-week, can now earn no more than from 4s. 6d. to ss. As to the state of crime, I win instructed to say, that far fewer petty thefts are committed than might be expected, considering the extreme destitution of the people. In answer to the 4th query. I ant instructed to say, that with the exception of the provision merchants, the working classes generally can scarcely be reckoned among the customers of the other tradesmen mentioned ; and with these their purchases have gradually declined, and were never lower in amount than at present. As to the state of education, I may mention that while we have a parish school excellently con ducted and numerously attended, comparatively few of the children belong to the weaving population—probably not more than 20 in 30, out of 120. Our Committee authorises me to to say, that the inhabitants are all but unanimous in wishing an immediate and total repeal. POLLOKSHAWS. Mr. Heeroa, Deputy from Pollokshaws, read to the meeting a report, by Provost Corbett, of Pollokshaws, and William Hector, writer in Pollokshaws, Deputies appointed by the Pol lokshaws Anti-Corn-law Association, to the general meeting to be held in the Trades' Hall, Glasgow, which was full of inte resting details like the following. We pass over the hand-loom weavers, whose condition is known to be most wretched : Cotton-Spinners, Steam-Loom Weavers, Quarriers, La bourers, and Bleachers.—These classes keying obtained con stant employment during the past year, they have not felt the pressure of the times so much as other classes of the popula lation, although the wages of many of them are reduced to the extent of 20, 30, or 40 per cent. . Inability to Purchase Clothes.—The - change. within the last ten years in this respect is very striking and lamentable. In seventeen cases of respectable weavers, investigated by the Deputies, not one was found where a single article of clothing had been purchased within the last two years. Mr. William Nicol, the oldest and most extensive draper and cloth merchant in Pollokshaws, states that he has been 28 years in business, and that he has had ample opportunities of knowing the condi tion of the population generally during the whole of that time. Ho says that they have been retrograding fast—that families who, for many years, were regularly able to make pretty ex tensive purchases of body and bed clothes, have entirely ceased o d u o n u d t s ; w a ' n e rde thator, f h o a r t - , of sh j o u t i h o e g r s s ~ a r w e . n e o r t o y a p i to do so—that, in cases tiler y spent 1 in this way, l in general, there is a great and observabl e change for the worse in the personal appearance of whole c 1 asses of the people, arising front their total inability to purchase cloth es. Inability to procure Provision re s iad i n one o f t h e oldest established, and most extens ive grocery and provision ' shops in Pollockshaws, it was found that as m any as fifty sales take place per day of the follo win g quantities of groceries and provisions, viz., one halfpenny worthl of bof tea, one halfpenny , one halfpenny worth of sugar, one halfpenny wor 1 . utter, That very rarely so m uc h worth of herrings. as a quarter of a pound of tea is purchased at once or a pound o f sugar. The Crowding together of the Population.—ln the parish of h Pollok or Eastwood, there has bee n, within the l as t t en years, as ascertained by the census, an increase in th e popu l at i on of of 1,012, while the number of new houses built within that pe riod does not exceed twelve, and these do not afford accommo population. dation for 200 of tho increased Thus 812 of the flew population have been crowded in upon the former occupiers of houses, who were already overcrowded. The Increase of Paupers and of the Poor's Rate.— There has been a regular increase of the paupers on t h e par i s h poor's roll for several years past, and a corresp on di ng i ncrease in the assessment. In the three winter months of 1838, No vember, December, and January, the average number of pau pers on the roll was 82 ; in the corresponding three months of 1841 the number was 102, being an increase in three years of 20 paupers, or 25 per cent. In conclusion, the Deputies would remark, as the result of their own observation and of the inquiries now made, that a material change for the worse is gradually t a ki ng place in the appearance and condition of the population of this parish, and although all are not suffering alike, yet Poverty and its attendant consequences are but too visible among the great body of the people. ABERDEEN. Mr. WILSON, from Aberdeen, showed by a table of imports at Aberdeen, that the imports in British vessels were decreas ing, while the imports in foreign vessels were increasing : tsrroers AT ABERDEEN BY BBITISIi VESSELS. Vessels. Tons. 1834 90 ...............14,607 1840 90 .....,..... 15,678 THE BANQUET. The company assembled in the City Hall, in the evening, at six o'clock, amounted to upwards of 2,000 persons, and a great number of applicants were disappointed in not obtaining admis sion. Independent of the mere numbers, the meeting was by far the most influential of the kind ever held in Glasgow, both in point of wealth, talent, and general respectability. The Chair was filled by James Oswald, Esq., M.P., for the City. We gave yesterday the names of the gentlemen present. The CliAlltAlA N, after praising Mr. Johnston, who was to have presided, said—You are aware you are come here to demonstrate your hostility to the present Corn and Provision laws—( Great cheering)—and I hope and trust that the de monstration in Glasgow will have a decided effect on other parts of the country where that subject has not been taken up. In this large city many have maturely considered the subject, and I believe I do not say too much when I say the opinion increases every day that:the present Corn and Provision laws are both impolitic and unjust.—( Cheers. ) Perhaps I may be told that we ask too much in asking a total repeal of these laws. Gentlemen, there might have been a time, there was a day when much less would have satisfied us.—( Hear.) But I believe, if we look back, we will find that the supporters of these laps have all along resisted—not only the slightest change—but the slightest inquiry into the subject ; and we ask, therefore, now, what we have a right to obtain—and whe ther we obtain it er not, we will stand to our plea as founded in justice.—( Great cheering.) Gentlemen, before I sit down, I ask you to fill a bumper, and a bumper to a toast it is not ne cessary to say one word upon to induce you to receive it with a shout of exultation and triumph. Gentlemen, " The Queen."—( The toast was drank with great applause.) " The Prince of Wales," and " The Princess Royal, Prince Albert, and the other Members of the Royal Family," were drank with all the honours. Mr. EwaRT, M.P., was received with the most enthusiastic plaudits. lie said he had been called on to propose to the meeting the toast of " the Total and Immediate Repeal of the Corn-laws."—( Immense cheering.) He felt that in connec tion with a mighty demonstration such as the present, the moving spirit should come, not from a few Members of Parlia ment who might be summoned to attend the assembly, but from the mind of the country itself. Personal and party influences must be fleeting and evanescent ; but he saw that this vast movement, which was animating Scotland, came from a deeper and more enduring source. It proceeded from a conviction deeply formed in the minds of the people of this country—slow to act, but strenuous and energetic to perform—who, when the mature time for exertion should come, would rise superior to any extraneous influence, cone from what quarter it might. —( Continued cheering.) Since he had been lately in Scotland, it had been his lot, at the Conference inrdinburgh, and now at the Delegate Meeting at Glasgow,. to hear more of the condition if 'the mass of the people than he had known before ; statements which it was impossible for him or for any of his friends to hear withoutteelrngs of the deepest pain. The manufacturers and the delegates, at the meeting of this day, had unfolded to them the short and simple, but, he was afraid, he must add the melancholy, annals of the poor. It was im possible to convey their situation in words more touching and descriptive than in those of Dr. Johnson, and the truth of which must have been confirmed by their own observation, on which he says— " Where penury retires to pine, And labour steals an hour to the."—(Applause.) What had been the nature of the evidence brought before them in Edinburgh and Glasgow? There were three points which powerfully arrested his attention. The first was the sleep despondency which seemed to hare:seized upon the minds of the people —a despondency amounting not only to idleness and listlessness, but to apathy. It must have appeared, from the description of the ministers and others most familiar with them, that, in the language of Milton, "despair attends them from couch to couch, and that it seems by its deadening touch to have dulled their sympathies, till they are silent, not from the absence of suffering, but from the severity of its pressure."— ( Hear, hear.) There yet remained another darker shade to be drawn across this already darkened picture, and this was again found in the evidence of the ministers of religion and others, who had assured them that day, that in several of the towns in this country, from inability to pay them, their me dical advisers had been foreed to' leave the place. So extreme was the destitution, that the healing power itself had deserted the spot, from in ability in the wretched population to main tain it.—(Hear, hear.) The :Honourable Gentleman made a long and eloquent speech, and concluded thus -1 trust that instead of following the bigoted and intolerant part of the landed interest, that the labouring classes, and par ticularly those of our large town, will devote themselves to those sources of real power, based upon moral and religious ascendancy. And I hope that we of the middle classes will ce-operate with them, and they with us, and that by agitating for this great national object, we must ultimately triumph.— ( Hear, hear.) Yes, Gentlemen, the conflict will then become apparent.—( Cheers.) It will be moral power and right reason on the one hand, against prejudice and selfishness on the other; and there can be no doubt which will triumph. The triumph will be yours.--( Applause. ) Selfish interests will fall before you, and titles, rank, or legislative ascendancy will no longer prevail against the voice if a united people ! " Despite their titles, power, and pelf, The wretch concentered all in self, Living shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down, To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhenour'd, and unsung " The Hon. Gentleman concluded by proposing the to ast. Mr. WALTER. Buclia KAN, who was received with applause, said he claimed a bumper to the nex t toast, whi, c h was the , health of the Hon. Charles Villiers, the mover of the ques tion for the consideration of the Corn-laws, and the other ~..... _ !Fir*, THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE. THE BANQUET AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. The most splendid preparations were made at the Mansion-house for the reception of his Royal Highness in the Egyptian Hall. The whole of the Lord Mayor's plate, and that of the Goldsmiths' Company, was ex hibited upon sideboards, placed at the top and bottom of the Hall. At the east end was erected a gallary, which was decorated with crimson drapery, and in which the band of the Life Guards was stationed. The appearance of the room was magnificeut iu the extreme. At, the o'clock the (hinter was announced in the drawing-room. The following is a list of the guests of the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, on this most important and in teresting occasion :—llis Royal Highness Prince Alb ert, Mrs. Fry, Mrs. M e l v ill e , Mi ss Fry, Mrs. Pidgeon, and Mrs. Somes.

Herrics, the Lord Bishop of London, the Dean of St. Paul's, and a host of Bankers, Merchants, Aldermen, Common Councilmen, and Members of Par liament, fOr whose names we mullet find room. Aft, r the cloth was removed, The LOAD MAYOR said—May it please your Royal Highness, my Lords and Gentlemen, prompted by sentiments if duty and affection, which I am sure pervade the heart of every one present, I beg to propose the health of our most gracious and beloved Sovereign, " The Queen."—( Rapturous applause.) The Loan MAYOR—II Lords and Gentlemen, the gracious interference of a merciful Prosidence, in the partial remeval of her sickness, adds much to the happiness which I feel in proposing to you the health of an amiable and Illustrious La dy who is the object of universal esteem, and for whose perfect restoration we all entertain the deepest anxiety—" Her Majesty the Queen Dowager."—(Loud cheers.) The toast, which was drank with the utmost enthusiasm, was followed by a favourite chorus from Ettryanthe, accom panied by the band. The Loan MANot —My Lords and Gentlemen, 1 rise with peculiar gratification to propose the health of my distinguished guest, his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, whose presence on this occasion will, I trust, fully justify the pride which I cannot but feel at his having honoured me with his company. His residence in England has nut been long, but sufficiently so to enable me to declare, that while lie would at all times have been received with honour as the Consort of our beloved Queen, he is now received with affection and esteem for his own sake. lam sure that you will all agree with me in these sen timents, and willingly join me in wishing " Health and every happiness to his Royal Highness the Prince Albert."—(Ch eers .) His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, who was greeted with loud and rapturous cheering, then ruse and said—" I return my most sincere thanks for this toast, and beg to express to you my lively satisfaction at the kind and fattering manner in which you have received me.—( Cheers.) It must ever be a gratifying recollection to me to have, by a trifling act of mine, connected my name with the erection of that important building of which we have laid the first stone to-day —an edifice of which it may truly be said that it will become the heart of the commerce of this great country—(Loud cheers) a country to whirls I feel myself attached by the dearest ties--- a country inwhich I daily feel myself more at:home—a country whose kindness I daily more appreciate.—( Loud cheers.) Again thanking you for the honour you have done ate, I beg now to propose " The health of the Lord Mayer, who se guest I am this day, and the Corporation of the City of London."— ( Loud and protracted cheers. ) The Lone 3las - ott, in returning thanks, said--My Lords and Gentlemen, my inauguration as the Chief Magistrate of this great city was signalised by an event which spread universal joy throughout the king dom, the birth of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. I feel, theret4e, peculiar pleasure in proposing to you the " Health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and with hint, the rest of the Roya Family."—The toast, which was re ceived with three tins* three,and one cheer more, was followed by the favourite trio," May he long be the Pride of the Nation." The LORD MAYOR—My Lords and Gentlemen, the next toast which I beg to introduc g e uh i ia s te,is t an h bm e lyioa h ps o estru a s l irl i ni o scie l e ' nr t e lie Lord Bishop of the diocese— a Prelate whe has shown himself mest anxious mistaken to provide additienal churches, and also schools for training zutp the rising generation in sound religious principles.

The Bishop of LoNnoN then rose and said — and Gentlemen—l return you my humble and s i l n Y t n: L ei e l o)r a re v d ei In t .
