COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, ACOMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Cham ber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Tuesday. the sth day of April, 1842, tlesolved,—That this Court receive with feelings of deep sv.npathy the expre.sions of regret at. the continued distress iu the manufacturing districts of the kingdom, contained in her Majesty's Speech it Opening the present Session of Parliament.: That this Court has observed with regret, that, notwithstand irg the benevolent desire expressed by her Majesty, the Com mons House of Parliament has termed to sane; inn the tree im pottation of Corn; and that her Majesty's Government, instead of intrcducing a 14w to remove, has proposed a law for adjust in. the injuries and o pp ress i ve restr i ct i ons upon th e p urc h ase o f food: INDIA BOARD, ArsuL 5, 18 49 A ropy of the following notititation, which had been issaed by order of the Governor-Gencral of India in Council, has Leen this day received at the East India House : A Special Court of the Common Council of tae City of Lon. don was yesterday hell at the Council Chamber in the Guildhall. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR took the Chair at twelve o'clock precisely. The minutes of the last Court were read, and certain pre liminary business transacted. -., TFIASIFC F.MBANICNIENT. to the extensive arid deep-rooted distress of the manufacturing and labouring classes of the community, it is. in the opinion of the Court, essentially necessary to abolish all laws which restrict the importation of food. That an humble Adderss be presented o h er Majesty, praying her to refuse her sanction to any lsw to tax articles of food, or restrict their tree importation into this country." He said that he felt considerable delicacy in coming forward on this occasion, because this was the first time that he ha I ever had the opportunity of addressing the Court, and be cause he was almost a stranger to every one in that Court. He was satisfied, however, that his claim on the candour of the Court would be greater with his situation, and he was satisfied that he should receive from the Court a large portion of their candour.—( Hear.) Another difficulty he had was iu the subject itself; it had been 93 long discussed—speeches without num ber, arguments without end, conversations on every part of the subject had taken pla• e, till the question now almost palled upon the ear. He was fully aware of this difficulty, yet he must confess that notwithstanding the inquiries which had been made, the arguments used, and the time coifsumed in coming to a knowledge of the subject, every day brought its conviction to his mind that the question was not yet half un derstood by the public.—( Hear, hesr.) The position which had been assumed by the landed aristocracy of the country ap peared to him to be most false and unjust. They seemed always to take it for granted, that they had full right to legislate for their advantage. Whenever a Committee of Inquiry was held— when the Corn daws were agitated—the inquiry was net whe ther those laws were just or no, but they asked what was the state of the manufactures and of the country ; were the people really in the state of distress in which they alleged themselves to be; did they think that their energies really were crippled, that their capital was decreasing, and their labourers unem ployed, or was the contrary the fact? And, again, it was stated in the House of C./n=ons that these manufacturers were NOTIFICATION. Fort William, January 31, 1842. Intelligence havin g been received which leav e s no room to doubt that, after the British free, at Cabot 1, had maintained its position against overpowering numbers of insurgents for more than six weeks, the officer commanding had judged it necessar, in consequence of a failure of provisions, to agree to a convention with the enemy, and to retire, in reliance oa the faith of that convention, toward Jellalabad, when the troops, exposed to the worst rigouts of cold and privation in the moun tain defiles, and harassed by treacherius attacks, suffered ex treme disaster,—the Governor-General in Council deems it proper to notify, that the most active measures have been adopted, and will be steadfastly prosecpted, fur expediting powerful reinforcements to the Affghan frontier, and for assist ing such operations as may be required in that quarter for the maintenance of the honour and interests of the British Go vernment. That, in onler to apply a permanent and sufficient remedy to the. xternive and deep-rooted distress of the manufacturing and labouring classes of the community, it is, in the opinion of this Court, essentially necessary to abolish all laws which restrict the importation of food : That a humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying her to refuse her sanction to any law to tax articles of food, or restrict their free importation into this country.

The ample military means it the disposal of the British Go• vernment will be strenuously appliod to these objects, so as at once to support external operations, and to en,u, e efficien protection to its subjects and allies. A faithless enemy, stained by the foul crime of assassination, has, through a failure of supplies, followed by consummate treachery, been able to overcome a body of British troops, in a country removed by distance and difficulties of season, from the possibility of suecbur. But the Governor- General in Council, o‘hile he most deeply laments the loss of brave officers and men. tegards this partial reverse only as a new occasion for displaying the stability and vigour of the British power, and the admirable spirit and valour of the Bri tish Indian army.

It stands unrivalled for i's clearness and facility in writing, being free from that gelatinous deposit which clogs and corrodes the metallic pen. As a preventive of fraud in banking and other commercial transactions, it mesetits an important gua rantee, as it is indestructible (without injuring the surface of the paper) by any of the chemical agents sshich destroy the common inks. The colour of the Nickel Ink is a Seheeles green, but it dries a vivid and permanent black—a striking con trast to the rusty black of other inks and writing fluids. Sold by W.

Mr. Foster, in calling attention to this immense sale of goods, begs to remind ladies and families that they are not expected to realise more than half the original cost, tLe object being to clear the whol, off the premises, and any portion remaining must of necessity be removed to his Auction-rooms. Ladies are soli cited to mai:e allowances for the awkwardness of the assistants, being mostly young men front his office, consequently unused to this method of selling goods over the counter. The following is about the reductions intended to be made. Thelinens being the larger portion, will be reduced as under:— s. d. 730 pieces of Irish linen, mostly Knox's make, that cost from Is. 6d. to 2s. 2d. per yard, ladies may choose from all, at 26 yards, for About 850 of his euriously fine numbers, worth from 2s. 9d. to 3s. 361. per yard, will be likewise reduced to 26 yards for 1,000 or more pieces that are soiled, amongst which ars some warranted fabrics, will be reduced to 26 yards for 21 0 The sheetings and table-linen require particular notice. The respectable family trade carried en for thirty years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep none but fine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjs.cted to the chances usual on selling off stocks of risking the durabiliit v. Fifty pieces of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at lOs. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard. Should the length be found in convenient a further reduction will be mails in the price. The tablecloths, although of the finest description, are mostly soiled, consequently the reduction must be immense. Some superb damask cloths, three yards long, will be sold as low as 6s. Gd. each ; lots of good linen breakfast cloths will be marked from s. to 2s. 6d. each, and about 130 cloths, from three to six yards long, many worth three to four guineas, will be sold none higher than fifty shillings.

LADY ANNE GRANARD ; OR, KEEPINIG UP AP PEARANCES. BY L. E. L.—An admirable subject! What a theme for the pen of the satirist of English habits in the 19th century—this era of ultra civilization and refinement ! Let us hope that the present is hut the first of a series of attacks on the meanest, yet most mischievous, of all the many vices which belong to us. There is no country in the world, except England, where poverty is looked ui.on and treated as a ct ime ; and where, therefore, people are tempted to be ci imi nal, in order to avoid being thought so. There is no mean ness, no cruelty, no deceit into which the Lady Anne Granard of this novel does not willingly, and even eagerly fall, and (what is ten thousand times worse) teach her innocent children to fall, in order to the indespensable " Keeping up Appear ances."

ROTHIEMAY.-Mr. Pirie, the Lord Mayor of Lon don, has not been unmindful of the land of his birth. He lately transmitted, through his friend, Bathe Macdonald, of Banff, a handsome sum, to be divided among several of his Lordship's aged relatives in the parish of Rothiemay.—Aberdeen Herald. Three or four days ago, as six countrymen were regaling themselves in a public-house at Neville, near Dieppe, two soldiers of the 24th of the line went in and picked a quarrel with them. A conflict ensued, with every weapon the parties could lay their hands on. The landlord attempted to separate them, but was turned out of the house. After a long struggle the two soldiers were victorious, and took their departure leav ing nearly all the countrymen severely wounded. One of these having gained some advantage over his opponent, the savage seized his antagonist's eqr with his teeth, bit it off, and spit it in his face. Another has his left shoulder fractured, and two have dangerous wounds in the breast with knives. The Magistrates have commenced an investigation of the affair. The Report of the Thames Navigation Committee having been read, and its adoption moved and seconded, Mr. DAVID WIRE said that before the Report was agreed to, he wished to ask a few cuintions. First, he was desirous to know whether any estimate had ever been made, as to the probable expense of carrying the p:oposed improvements of the river banks into execution? An HON. MEMBEIt observed that the matter was fully ex plained in the Report. Mr. WIRE s Lid that all he asked was to have the Report re ferred back to the Committee, for the purpose of further infor mation on the subject being obtained. He certainly did not understand the Report in the sense in which some Hon. Mem bers seemed to do. An HON. MEMBER. obserVed that the_ mprovements would, in all probability, pay the expense. Mr. WIRE said the objects of the proposed improvements were to narrow the channel of the river by making embank ments, so as to produce uniformity in the banks of the river and rapidity of current in the stream. It was proposed that this be carried into effect, uot by the Corporation, but by individuals, who would acquire the right to the soil obtained by the embankments which they made. What would be the effect of that? What was the consequence of the embankment made for the purposes of the New Houses of Parliament? • Why opposite the Adelphi and Privy-gardens an immense shoal of mud was collected, where all the deposits of the stream were accumulated. A similar result would be produced in other localities, unless the improvements were carried simultaneously- throughout the whole length of the river hanks, and thus a pestilential air would be produced in the immediate neighbourhood of' the river, to the great danger of the health of the City. Sir C. MARSHALL observe 4, that it was the Corporation them selves who first made encroachments on the banks of the Thames. He thought that the last thing which the Court ought to sanction, would be the narrowing Of this channel, or the erection of buildings close to the river. They ought not let slip the oppor tunity of making improvements. Theyought to bear in mind the beautiful plan of the Duchess Dowager of Rutland for a ter race from Waterloo-bridge to Westminster-bridge. The mud bank in front of the Adelphi had been accumulating for years. The accumulation had commenced long before the embankment for the new Houses of Parliament had been commenced. Suchlad been the improvement in the river in consequence of that embankment, that steamers could now approach the shore at the lowest state of the tide. Those who had the management of that embankment would of course take care that no large buildings should be constructed near the river. Those possessing property on the banks of the river, such as the Duke of Buceleuch or Sir Robert Peel for example, would no doubt willingly do whatever was required, and pay the Cor poration for the new frontage, if they could thus become pos. sessed of the freehold. Mr. DAVID WI RE hoped the Hon. Gentleman would give them some information as to how the proposed plan was to be carried into effect. The Chairman had said no definite plan had been agreed upon, except that there should be an embankment. He (Mr. Wire) did not wish by agreeing at once to the recommendation of the Committee, to pledge the Court to do that which hereafter it might be found exceedingly difficult to carry into execution. He wished to know precisely what were the powers which the Committee sought to obtain • if he obtained that information he should be satisfied. He thought it would be well to bear in m,nd the resolution of a former Court, on the subject of forming public walks for the recreation of the citizens, on any proposed em bankment.; and if the Report were to be referred back again to the Committee, he would recommend that they should take the whole subject, including of course the formation of these public walks, into their consideration, and report thereon to the Court. In allusion to what had fallen froth the worthy Alder man, as to the probability of the Duke of Buccleuch, Sir. R. Peel, and other gentlemen being willing to purchase the freehold of the embankment in front of their respective mansions, he (Mr. Wire) hoped that the Court would never give its consent to any measure which should enable the proprietors of mansions on the banks of the river to shut cut the public.—( Cheers.) The banks were the property of the City, and why should any one have the power of shutting out the citizens ?—( Cheers. ) lie hoped that some clear and intelligent explanation would be given, so that they might know exactly what it was that they were about to do. Sir CH A P3I A N MA RSIIA LL explained. Alter a few words from Mr. P . E A COCK, - - __ Mr. Hittr. said that the Report merely suggested a plan for the improvement of the river, but did not state how it was to be carried into effect. If any project for the improvement of the river should come before the Committee, they would lay the same before the Court. By the proposed plan of embankment, there would be really but little contraction of the actual width of the river--:it merely went to level the ex isting inequalities. lie thought there was nu advantage in having the river too wide, as in that case it would be ap t t o b e choked up by the accumulation of deposits. Mr. Bien was desirous of giving all the information in his power. The Navigation Committee was desirous of obtaining the sentiments of the Court on what he considered would he " the foundation of one of the greatest improvements ever made in the navigation of the Tharnes. Thu Committee di'l not ask for any powers be ' yond what they at present posse.sed. Within the last few years, in consequence of the increase in stew n navigation, a necessity hid arisen for providing alditional landings; many piers and encroachments had consequently been thrown out into the river without the sanction of the Corporation. In other .!a.es their sanction had been obtained. When the Committee summoned offendin, ( parties to the Mansion-house to answer fur these encroachments, they were answered that they had permitted equally objectionable encroachments in other parts. fhe committee were, therefore, desirous to put an end to this system, by getting a line drawn, beyond which no projections should take place into the river. ['hey had already ascertained that they had a full and perfect right to draw and to maintain that line. At the same time .hey would not be unmindful of the recommendation of Sir F. Trench and others, as to the propriety of making these improve ments conducive to the public health of the metropolis, by the formation of public walks on the erribankments. They would t,ot interfere of the existing rights of theoccupiers of wharfs. The Committee expected great benefits would be derived from the proposed improvement, but it should be borne in mind that the Committee themselves did not ask the Corporation to pledge itself to any expente, they only asked for authority to proceed. The Navigation Committee had no funds at'its dis posal ; the funds derived from the port of London and tonnage dues were appropriated to particular purposes, and' the other Navigation Fund, arising from certain tolls on the river, had been greatly diminished by the opening of the Southampton Railway. It was necessary to give every facility to the effecting these improvements. Mr. WIRE then moved that the Report be referred back to the Committee for further inquiry, and that a further report be made to the Court, before any permission be given to form an embankment of the river. Mr. limn said, the only objection to this resolution was, that the business of the Committee would be completely sus pended by it. Sir P. LAURIE said, the plan as detailed in the Report, had been laid before the Trinity House, and had been considered by it a perfect plan. That being the opinion of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, he thought the sooner they greed to the Report, the better. Mr. STEVENS said, the Committee had gone through a great deal of labour, and having read the Report care• fully, he was delighted at the large measures of improvement therein contemplated. He could not have thought that the Report would have caused five minutes' discussion before the Court. If the plan were carried into effect the present an noyances caused by throwing out piers and chains of boats would be rendered unnecessary. They should have great (lit& cul ies to contend with—neighbour against neighbour—but in carrying the plans into effect they could not injure those who already had a river frontage. They could not oloek out Sir R. Peel, nor the Duke of Buceleueh, nor do any thing to impede their view and air. By the conclusion o! the Report it would be seen that the Committee required autho rity to remove such nuisances as were injurious to health and densive to the sight, and by agreeing to the Report they would only be sanctioning all that the Committee had done. Mr. LAWRENCE said the Committee stated they had a diffi culty in enforcing their powers. Now he did not see how their agreeing to the present report would tend to enforce those powers. If they wanted additional powers what was the object of accepting the Report? There was also another question ; it appeared that they could not stir a step in the matter without a special Act of Parliament. The whole of the plan would cost some milliohs of money ; and he did not apprehend that either the Duke of Ruceleugh or Sir Robert Peel would spend any thing to obtain a greater river frontage than they had already. He thought the Committee had been very uselully em ployed in the inquiry, but the Report would not lead to any earthly good; they would Lot, by adopting it, be a step nearer their object. If adopting the Report was only due to the Committee, he had no objection to do so, as he thought the Committtee was entitled to their thanks ; but the moment it went beyond this line, he thought it a very serious question that the Committee should set about spending money without asking the authority of the Court, and without the authority of an Act of Parliament. He could see no good in passing the Report. Mr. Haituts said there seemed to be some difference of opinion as to the effect of the embankment, but he had himself seen the extraordinary advantage of it. He read the para graph of the Report in which the Committee asks for authority to remove nuisances and obstructions that were injurious to health and sight. This, if agreed to, would give the Com mittee power to carry out its intentions without referring again to that Court. If this power were given by the Court, he should be glad to know what means the Committee had of car rying those powers into execution? An Hose. IllzatEEK—They do not intend it at all. Mr. HARRIS then would ask to know what the Committee did intend? Mr. PawraEss moved the following amendment :—" That this Court do agree with the Commissioners in their said Re port as to the said line laid down for the embankment, and that it be referred back to them to carry the same into execution, and furth,r, that it be an instruction to the said Committee to make further inquiries, and obtain the fullest information on all the other subjects contained in the said Reprt, and to re port thereon from time to time to this Court." And, after some further discussion, the question was put, when the original motion was carried unanimously. A few remarks relative to the Borough Conipter and the case of the Town-clerk followed, which were rendered inaudible by the noise of members leaving the Court. DISTRESS IN THE COUNTRY. A requisition was read by the clerk, signed by Messrs. Taylor, Prendergast, &c., relative to the existing distress. Mr. P. A. TAYLOR rose to move the following resolution :. "'That this Court received with feelings of deep sympathy the expressions of regret at the continued distress in the manufac turing districts of the kingdom, contained in her Majesty's speech in opening the present Session of Parliament. That this Court has observed with regret that, notwithstanding the benevolent desire expressed by her Majesty, the Commons House of Parliament has refused to sanction the free importa tion of corn, and that her Majesty's Government, instead of introducing a law to remove, bas proposei a law for re-adjusting the injurious and oppressive restrictions upon the purchase of food. That in order to apply a permanent and vutlicient remedy men of great wealth, and yet they were always coming up with their complaints of distress. Now it isielled to him that whe ther the manufacturers were wealthy or poor, whether there was plenty or scarcity in the country, he could not see why the landed aristocrats- should - peek to Titles - the country..--Gloat. ) He intended to deal with this subject first, with reference to the evils which the Corn-laws inflicted on the country ; and secondly, with reference to the arguments which were brought forward to show the advantage which accrued to us by incur ring them. Taking up any paper of the day, tip.)• would see that meetings were held to consider whether the protection whieli the agriculturists enjoyed was or was not sufficient. Was it really come to be a question for consideration in Eng land, whether it was any advantage to be able easily to obtain and pay for food ? Was it come to be a question whether Eng land would be better if she was less fertile, and whether it would be for her advantage that food should he scasce and dear —that famine was an advantage, and plenty an evil ?—( Hear.) He could understand how the raising the price of an article might be of advantage to those who dealt in that article, but he could not see what advantage it would be to the nation.--( Hear, hear. ) The Corn-laws were a tax ; it signified not whether it went into the Treasury or into the pockets of a certain class of individuals; any thing which artificially raised the price of ' any article is a tax, and it was impossible that a tax could be advantageous in itself : it might be nee.essary, but advantageous it could not Hear, hear.) By artificially raising the price of food, the exertion necessary to obtain that food was in creased. If, with food at. a certain price, a labouring man would be ab'e to support ha wife an 1 family by labour of ten hours a day, if that food were raised fifty per cent., he would be required to labour 15 hours a day to obtain the same amount of food—( Hear, hear)—and that was the secret which would ex plain the melancholy cases that we daily beheld of women and children working in factories, and of old age labouring past its natural time. The injury which these laws did to every branch of trade might be easily described ; to the shipping interest they were a great detriment, and he meant to prove, before he sat down, that it was net true that agriculture—that it wa; not true that commerce was the foundation of the prosperity of this country ; but that manufactures alone had raised this country to the height to which she had attained, and when they stop, England's sun has set for ever.—( Hear, hear.) It was true that in Venice, Genoa, and in Holland, commerce did much towards the prosperity of the c untry, but then they were the depots from which other countries drew their supplies, and they were purely carrying countries ; but this was not the case with England. The great evil of the Corn-laws was that of limiting the power of demand on foreign countries ; they said no exchange shall take place—the foreigners shall not be clothed—the British manufacturers shall be starved." Talk of the combination, indeed, sometimes entered into by the working classes, talk of the fears sometimes entertained lest they should overstep the limits of the law, and break into private property, what combination could be more atrocious, what more mischievous, what greater injury was ever infl cted than the passing of this law, as was attested by thou sand, and tens of thousands of our suttet ing fellow countrymen ? —(llear, hear.) In order to lay before the Court some idea of the amount of injury which the Corn-laws produced, he would beg to extract from the evidence of Mr. M'Gregor. lie said that he consideleil the taxation which arose from that source and prohibitory duties was more than double the amount of the taxation paid into the Treasury,—( Hear, hear. ) James Deacon flume said that the money thus paid would be more than the whole revenue of the country. He (Mr. Taylor) had also another calculation which was founded oti the population of G eat Britain : supposing that tech individual was supported according to the dietary of an Union workhouse—supposing each individual to consume six p oun d s o f b rea d per wee k, one pound and a half of meat, with cheese, &c., it would make Is. per week of tax paid by the population, and it would amount to 50,000,0001. a-year. Now that was without con sidering the tax which was paid of 20,000,0001. upon barley iii beer ands rits, and a number of other taxes, all of which were laid on for the protection of the laud. Another class of evils which he thought might clearly he traced to the canoe source, was the increase of crime.—( Hear, hear.) The number of commitments to prison during the seven years from 1810 to 1817 was 56,000. on an average of'B,ooo per annum ; from 1817 to 1824, the number was 92,000, on an average per annum of 13,000 ; from 1824 to 1831 the number was 131,000, being an average of 17,000 per annum ; 1838, 112,000 ; 1839, 113,000 ; and in the year 1840 alone there were 129.237 cons mittments, being an increase of 16,003 over those of the year 1838, and between 600 and 700 per cent. over those of the ten years antecedent.—( Hear, hear.) And it was seen the other day in that city, and a worthy Alderman said when a number of persons were brought before him for stealing, that he was certain that their object was to be committed ; and he would ask, could it be wondered at that crime should inerease when the difficulty of obtaining food was daily in - creasing. Now with regard to over-production. Other countries were manufacturing, and we had lately been giving them a bonito to encourage their manufactures, and now that they were competing with us, he .(Mr. Taylor) thought that was one of the strongest arguments why our manufactures should be set at liberty and released from all restraints. But they were told that one great reason of the distress in the coon • try was over-production That was certainly a most singular argument to urge when their mills were standing still all over the country, and their men were unemployed. But then they were told. as a reason why they should bear all these evils, that agriculture was the foundation of the prosperity of this country, and, therefor e , it m u s t b e p ro te c t e d. Now, he must confess, that there appeared to him to be a contradiction in the very terms of this statement—the foundation of prosperity, and yet needs protection. —( Hear, hear. ) Why, be their own show ing, unless they take 50,000,000/ sterling from the pockets of the people, they cannot carry on their agricultural labours. Agriculture, the foundation of the prosperity of this country in deed ! 14 hen was agriculture ever the foundation of any wea th ? Tiil the consumption of a country equalled the production of food it must be expected ; now, there was nothing so cumbersome and so unprofitable to expect as corn; ani to bring corn to this country would cost from ten to twelve shillings a quarter. The best positioh in which landed proprietors could be placed would he that of a country where all their produce was consumed, and where manufactures were the great staple commodity of the people ; in that case, they would sell their corn at the highest price, becau c they would have nu expense to export it abroad, and they would purchase their manufactures at the lowest pi ice, because, there would be no expense in importing them. Any attempt to carry their prosperity beyond that, immediately became suicidal.—( Hear, hear.) There seemed to have been an idea lately set afloat that it was not a good thing for this country to manufacture too much, and that there should be some limits to our manufacturing efforts; that was neither more nor less than saying that there was enough of every thing for every one in this country, and that we had too many things in this country for our nece•sities, our enjoyments, or our comforts. Now, what was it that brought into this country almost every thing which we required for our neces sities, or our comforts—what brought in our sugar, tea, coffee and spices—what brought in our wine and our luxuries? Why, nothing but manufactures. We had nothing to give in exchange for everything that came in but our manufactures.— ( Hear, hear.) Manufactures it was that supported the pros perity of this country altogether. They brought in gold and silver, and in times of distress they even brought in corn itself, without which we should perish.—( Hear, hear. ) Yet they were told that they produced too ninny manufactured goods. Manufactures were, and he thought he hail proved it, the foundation of the prosperity of this country, and without them we should be a poor, wretched, miserable, beggarly nation.— ( Hear, hear.) The tax upon food was no creation property; it was only a transfer of property ; just the same as when a thief robbed a man, that was no creation of new property, it was only a transfer. But supposing for a momont, that it was true that the agriculturists found a difficulty in paying the taxes, and that we should pay it for them, it certainly was not right that we should be called on to pay much more for them, yet that was the case. This declaration of the aristocracy, " Why, we'll pay the taxes, if you give us the money," put him ( Mr. T. ) in mind of the words of Sir John Falstaff :—" He that will caper with me for a thousand marks, let him lend me the money and have at him."-_(A lough.) Another argument had been used, to the effect that, if the Corn-laws were repealed, wages would fall. Why, if the manufacturers were sane in their desire to repeal the Corn-laws, it was no doubt because they believed that thereby they should have a larger demand for their goods than now ; and if they had, was it not manifest that they would have to employ more workmen ? and was it not plain that, when two masters were looking after one workman, he would demand more wages than in times when two workmen were looking after one master ?—( Hear.) In the year 1835, when the price of wheat was not more than half what it is now, the demand for labour was so immense, that a vast number of persons were taken from the agricultural to the manufacturing districts ; and the reason then was—certainly, not that the Corn-laws were re pealed, but that corn being so cheap, almost the same effects resulted as if those laws had actually been repealed. Another reason, they were told, why it was necessary for the national prosperity of the country, that these laws should be continued was, that if they were not, land would be thrown out of cultivation and labourers out of employment. Suppose it true that some labourers would be thrown out of employment, the question would then arise whether it would not be better to deprive a portion of them of employment, the whole number of them not exceeding 960,000, than throw out the 2,000,000 who were employed in manufactures and trada.—(Hear. ) Sir It. Peel stated, in his place in the House of Commons, that he believed it best for the interests of the country, and best for the interest of all parties, that they should occasionally pay a small sum for domestic produce. He was desirable that occasionally a small 311 M should be paid to make us independent of foreign countries for the supply of corn. Would not the loss of the supply of cotton to this country be as deplorable as the loss of the supply of corn? But no fear was ever expressed that we should at any time be destitute of that commodity.— ( Hear, hear.) They never had any fears of the loss of the supply of sugar, or timber, or silk, or wine ; nor were the suppli es of those articles ever deficient—(Hear)— still less grounds were there for the fear being entertained with regard to corn. Some of the other articles were produced by e * one country alone, and o th ers b y on l y a few 'Countries ; but' '- •-e, every nation produced corn, and if we only had free trade, so '• • ereat would be our supply, that we should he spade perfectly independent of years of scarcity. —(Hear, hear ts ) Joseph in ~:- .: t Egypt appeared to he wi ser i n hi s generation ;than Peel.---;sia: , s / —(fear, hear)—because he had no sliding sersiko..(Laughter.). • - He, foreseeing the years of scarcity, purcbasedhis eorns anda - ao• began to lay in a supply in the first year of p/entyleAPrisP°4--; would not have com mence d p urc h as i ng till the first year of" scarcity.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir Robert said " oc casionally," and a " small amount." Was it not notorious, as might be seen from the papers that year after year gave the prices of corn at !Joao: and abroad, that the difference between the price here and abroad was generally ono of from 50 to 80 per cent., and that not occasionally, but was it not usually the difference ?—(Hear, bear.) He held in his hand a table, showing the difference of price between English and Prussian wheat since the year 1815. This difference was calculated allowing 10s. a quarter for the ex pense of transporting into this country, allowing one quarter per head per annum, which was admitted on all hands as a fair calculation, and multiplying that by the popu lation of Great Britain in those 26 years—from 1815 to 1841 —the amount of the difference between the price of cheat alone at Berlin and London was 1,1815,00b,C001. sterling. Ile had before him the price of every rear, and, therefore, in this statement he could make no mislalse. Nor, indeed, was it at all wonderful that the sum should be so great, when they con sidered the amount of taxation and the population of this country ; and that sum, or something like it, had gone to in crease the laws of the aristocracy. Did they wonder now that Sir James Graham's estates at Netherby had increased its value to 60 or 80 per cent. since the year lal6. Again, they had been told that they were called on to place such a duty on foreign corn as would be an equivalent to the special burdens which were borne by the land in this country. Now he (Mr, Taylor) should like to be told what these special burdens wire, and what was the amount of them, for he confessed he did not know. Besides, if they hail additional burdens that was no thing more than the tenure by which they held their lands, which had been formerly granted to the old Barons on account of some special services to be rendered, such as furnishing a certain number of men to the wars, or such like. He had said be did not know what were the seecial burdens borne by the land owners ; he might add that he knew more that they did not bear.—( Hear.) They paid no duty upon their insurances; they were released frore almost all the taxes which pressed upon others, and they had also managed to shuffle out of the laud tax.—( Hear. ) There was nu country in Europe in which the landed artstoeracy paid so littl e t o G overnment as did t h e landed aristocracy of England. In Prussia the whole amount of revenue arising from land tax and customs was 7,761,0001., and of this the land paid 3,094,000/. In Austria, the whole amount of taxes was 16,400,000/., and of this the land paid 8,700,000/. In France the taxes amounted to 40.000,0001 , and of this land direct paid 13,379,0000, and woods, forests, and domains, 8,806,0001. In Belgium, Holland, and Germany the land tax paid about one-half of the whole taxation ; but in Great I Britain, where the whole anemia of taxation was 52,226,000/., the taxes received from land amounted to only 1,172,000/. He did trust that that Court would raise its voice against this atrocious tax—to tell this sordid aristocracy, that they were slaves to sordid avarice—that there are rights of the people, as well as rights of property— inlith'atstheassare - antecedent - to the rights of property, inasmuch as those of property were made and erected, whilst those of man were cerived immediately from God himself.—( Hoar, hear.) In conclusion, he begged to thank his Lordship and the Court, for the attention with which he had been listened to throughout his address, and to move that th • resolution be adopted, which he had read at the commencement of his remarks.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ITEPPLE said, that after the very able and lucid address which they had just heard from the Hon. Member Rho had only now resumed his seat, he should not detain the Court with any observations of his ; he begged, therefore, thus briefly to second the motion.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Ge owes said, though the Hon. Gentleman who had moved the resolution was a new Member of the Court, he must say that he had never heard the cause, which he advocated, up. with half the arguments, or in se masterly a way as had been done by the Hon. Member. He had, however, no doubt said a great deal that could not be understood by many members of that Court.—(Ole, oh.) In opposing the motion of the Hun. , Member, he ( Mr. G.) should certainly be opposing what was called a popular question, and se he should be if the course he was adopting would lead to deprive the poor man of his bread ; but he did not believe that that would be the effect, or was the effect of the measures which he supported ; and therefore so long as he held a place in that Court, though he doubted not but this question would be carried by a large majority—( Hear) —he never would sit quietly by and hear the landed aristocracy belied. With regard to all the Hon. Aferober had said rela tive to the estates of Sir J. Graham at Netherby, he (Mr. Gadson) must say that he doubted the asseition which had beers made, and he thought the Hon. Member must be in error. Again the Hon. Member stated that the manufacturing popu lation of the country was double that of the agricultural; if that were the fact, he must say that it appeared to him to be a new one, arid here also lie believed: the Honourable Member was labou ing under a mistake; he believed the agricultural population doubled that of the manufacturing.— ( 011, „h.) He looked at the Corn-laws abstractedly, as the necessary protection of the agriculture of this country. The Hon. Member said that the sordid aristocracy had taxed the . people to keep up enormous rents, or words to that effect. He (Mr. Gordon) might be allowed to state, and he would as sure the Court that he would not state it, it he did not know it to he a fact—( Hear, hear)--that in the counties round Middle. sex the average rental of tillage land was but 30s. an acre S and take the country round, the average rental was from lbs. to 20s. per acre for tillage ground ; the average growth of corn per acre would be about 3 quarters, or 24 bushels ; these 3 quarters would give 20 bushels of flour, and that would be just sufficient for 360 four-pound loaves. Now if he were learned in these statements, and he believed he was, it would follow that %rah regard to these 360 loaves, if the laid-holder got his land for nothing, it would only make a difference of a Id. a loaf. Then where did the money that these inert gained go to? Were not three-fourths of the manufactures made here eon 'f he landlord buys of the shopkeeper, sumed at home?and flue money is generally disseminated, and well would the ma nufacturer do if this link were to he broken and he were com pelled to snake his produce sslely for the stespl_y of other coun tries. He much regretted that a subject of this sort should be brought so many times before this Court. He thought it would be melt 'setter that the members of the Court, who were tradesmen mostly, and whom, as such, he respected very much, sholild stick to that fur which they were sent there— viz., the municipal affairs of the Corporation, and should not interfere with that which their education wholly unfitted them to understar tl. They should leave those matters to the Go vernment of the country.—( Year, hear. ) It was not his in tention to move any amendment. —( Hear.) Air. Da wstnri said he perfectly concurred in the observations which had fallen from the last speaker. He viewed this agita tion as nothing more than a renewal of the app hication to her Majesty to dismiss her present Ministers, as a discussion of this sort never took place when the late Ministry were in office. This was purely a political movement. Sir. Jon ssos begged to say that a discussion of this sort did take place in the time of the !ate Ministry, and 4t s h t sat atw d a o n w i n n s the year 1839; and the H on . M em b er w h o had just took a conspicuous part in it. He was surprised that any man could lay his head upon his pillow in peace, and look at the ex isting distress, and say that it was not the duty of every honest man to do his best to relieve it.—( Hear, hear • ) Mr. Meorae No said the present distress in the country was not owing to the Core-laws, hut because of the imperium in imperio which existed in this country, by which laws were concocted out of doors, and were forced upon a weak succumb ing, Government. The vacillating conduct of the Whigs who abolished slavery, and who were so undecided in their move ments, that an hoar before they granted 20,000,000/. as com pensation, contemplated making a loan instead of a grant of 15,000,0001., was the peat source of the present distress. Mr. A NDERTON said, he did not think the address ought to go to the Queen. There was certainly a great deal of distress in the country at present, but he „thought it was ow i ng t o a variety of causes. Aft'er some further remarks from Mr. PEWTRESS, Mr. STACEY, and other gentlemen, whose names we coold net hear, in the confusion which reigned, and the cries of " Question," and " Divide," and a few observations from Mr. Tevion in reply, which want of space wholly prevents us, much against our inclination, from publishing, the Court divided, when there appoared— For the motion Against it . Majority in favour of the motion Some other business of minor importance was then ow through, and the Court adjourned a little atter 6 o'clock. TILE OPPONENTS OF THE CORN. LAWS, AND THE INCOME TAX. 7'O THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sul,—The opponents of the Corn Laws have lost. their tide, by not setting their machinery in motion every where against the Income Tax during the 'recess. After they had been borne down by superior numbers on as much of the question as had then developed itself; it was a perfect god-send that a minister should bring forward an unpopular tax, so contrived as to be only a codicil to the refusal to repeal the Corn Laws, and a prolongation of the general principle of removing taxation from the landed interest to lay it upon industry. That such a proceeding on their part would have been assailed by their external and internal enemies on the pretext that Income was not Corn,—or that the selfish and absurd portion of the working classes who have done their bast to establish their incompetency to making a component part of any attempt for the ad►ancement of public liberty, would have raised the howl against the middle classes which the Minister intended,—were con sequences to be calculated on, but nut necessarily reasona to decide. At this moment, symptoms of resistance to the Income Tax are accumulating in every direction ; and it is easy to see how much all movements of this kind would have been advanced, if the ready-made machinery had every where been applied to prompt and to assist. Though the best of a tide may have been lost, it de pends on what there is to do and the promptitude is doing it, whether substantial use may not be madu of what is left. 'Why should not every meeting to be holden on the subject of the Corn Laws, direct its proceedings against that particular form of the general principle, which has been presented to us in the Income Tax ? Yours very sincerely, PEIWONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, April 4, 1842. P.S.—Allow me to take the opportunity to return to the subject of a former letter, which was the effect of the proposed Tax on property derived from temporary incomes. The question is complicated, and therefore a fine hot bed for deception to sprout in. The best wa♦ will be to suppose a case. A few days hence some member of par liament will object to the levying a nine times greater proportional amountfrom the smaller property; and a mi nister will probably rise and say, "Honourable gentlemen on the other side have admitted that they do not mean to press for a graduated income tax ; yet the Honour able gentleman founds his complaint on one being the smaller property." And then he will turn round to his little boys behind, and bid them holla. How will you answer this ? it is a very tolerable fallacy, which is more than can be said of all which proceed from the same source. The answer seems to be, by distinguishing between two different demands. One demand, which every body makes and which is made now, is that the pro perty worth in round numbers 1,000/. shall not be assessed in the same total sum as the property worth 9,0001., but shall be assessed in at all events only one ; ninth of the sum. Another demand, which is e assessed now, but w hi c h a peop l e w i ser and strongerwou on, is th a t th e property worth 1,000/. should from the b not ld insist m in le ss th an one - nint h o f t h e sum demanded'ne ss of the propert• wo r th 9,000/. A n d th e business Mi nister, is to confound th e d em and that is made, with the demand that is not. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet Ocean, I.
