In con sequence of the highly important announcement of " Peace w ith China," we take the earliest opportunity of making known totbe Public, that we have commenced selling all elescriptions of TEA much cheaper. i There i s no l onger an y necess i ty f or t h e pu bli c pay i ng ex tangent prices, in order to secure good Teas. The mono- Poly of price, like all other monopolies, is found to be based on ' njastice and selfishness.

B RITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, Hamilton Place, New-road, London BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE HYGEIST. James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great affluence and respectability, and the late Member for Banff shire, John Morison, was the second brother of the subject of this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, an d su b sequent l y i n the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was obligel to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seeking, from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery and perseverance , he accomplished his o wn extraordinary cure. We cannot do better than transceibe the following interest ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniatia :" " A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should have died as another mi.n, and been forgotten. and the world could have reaped no benefit horn my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' health and old age are within the reach of us all.' " For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch," by his sons and successors, p. 3.

FOR GRANTING At this stage of the proceedings an individual in the body of the meeting rose with a view to address the chairman, but no sooner did he mak e hi s a p pearance than a hubbub of noises ensued, which threw the whale assembly into confusion. Ultimately, one. of the Chartists was heard in support of an amendment, to the effect that the Corn-laws were not the only cause of the present distress ; but that other laws were operating with equal severity upon the well-being of the people; and that the only efficient remedy for the ills under which the country laboured was the adop tion of " The People's Charter." The amendment was put and about fifty hands were held up in its favour; the original resolution was then proposed and a forest of hands was shownlin its support. LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c. No. 26, CORNHILL. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament. DIRECTORS. T. L AMIE MURRAY, Esq., Chairman. Elliotson, M. D., F. R. S. John Rawson, Esq. John Griffithth Frith, Esq. John Riddle Stodart, Esq. Hunter Gordon, Esq. Clement Tabor, Esq. I George Lungley, Esq. Joseph Thompson, Esq. THE GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. A meeting of the public in the district of Hoxton was held, last night, at the Britannia Saloon, Hoxton Old town, for the purpose of declaring their opinion upon the subject of the Corn-laws. Upwards of 1,500 were assembled long before the proceedings of the evening commenced, and spacious as the premises were, many hundreds left the place for want of accommodation. HENRY WARBURTON, Esq., having taken the chair, briefly stated the object of the meeting, which was to consider the question, whether it was for the good of the people that the Corn-laws should any longer con tinue or not ?—(hear, hear.) He would call upon the great advocate of the cause of the people in Par liament to address the meeting upon this most impor tant question. Mr. VILLIERS then came forward, and was received with much applause. He said that he came forward, not upon any assumption that he could act upon the judgment of the meeting by expressing his own views, but simply because he had been told, what he had been in the habit of telling others, that each man on this question ought to do all that was in his power, and that at the present moment it was in the power of the humblest individual to do much in promoting the good and benevolent purpose of that meeting.—(Loud cheers.) He knew that the Legislature on this subject was as much self interested as ever, yet that Legislature had in some degree been backed from without, either by the in difference of some, or by the silence of those who, seeing the difficulty of success, hoped to find some redeeming consequences belonging to the law. But he would ask such men to what circumstances they could now point to raise a hope or justify a doubt about the character or consequence of such a law:— (Cheers.) Some good men had fancied that by means of the Corn-law ample and healthy employment would be afforded to a large body of the working community; others thought that it - retained in their station and contentment a valuable portion of the middle order of society; while others imagined that by knitting toge ther the three classes —the owners, farmers, and tillers of the land by the common ties of interest and de pendence—stability was given to our social arrange ments. But if these pleasant fancies had been in dulged in by some he wished to know whether they now remained in the brain of any man who ever read the journals of the day, or knew aught of what passed around him.—(hear.) He would ask whether, if a spot could be pointed to where more distress, disunion, or disaffection could be found than in another, it would not now be in the very districts to which such notions applied ? For what was to be heard in those districts but reproach, recrimination, and mutual charge ?—(Hear, hear.) Each was heard charging the other with the injury that they were all enduring.—(Hear, hear.) The labourer without em ployment, or with lowered wages, complained of his lot to the farmer, who, he thought, might better his condition ; the farmer complained that his customer .of the town, depressed in his business, refused to consume his produce, and grumbled at increasing rates, increasing taxes, and undiminished rent, while the landlord turned again upon him as the cause of all the evil which he imputed to his (the tenant's) igno rance, and negligence in the culture of his land, and thus all combined to complete the measure of mischief caused by this protective law; thus in every direction bringing-experience to confirm the justice of the opinions expressed first, in 1815, by the people in the streets of this town—(Cheers)---and who were fired upon for doing so.—(Hear, hear)—se condly, by all the leading merchants, in 1820, of the City, assembled in their Guildhall, and thirdly, by some of the most distinguished statemen in Parliament, who, at the passing of the law predicted to the letter that unqualified failure and evil which had followed from it. It was for the people to speak out again, and call ,for the instant repeal of this iniquitous law. It was under these circumstances that this great metropolis was now appealed to on the subject; and he could not help expressing an opinion that he had long enter tained, that this great capital of the empire ought to exercise somewhat more of influence over the political and commercial interests of this country than it has lately done.—(Hear, hear.) He said lately, for at one time the voice of London was all important in swaying the general opinion of the country ; but it is matter of observation of late years, that in comps- son with the provinces, it has been losing it s influ enee.—(llear.) In all the great States of Europe, the power and influence of the capitals were felt by the Governments of those countries, while London, the metropolis as it were of the commerce of the world, seems backward in assuming its right posi tion, and in protecting the national interests.— (Hear, hear.) To vindicate the justice of their former opinions, and to mark their sympathy with the national interests, he invited them to make known their sentiments on this question. He asked them to aid in removing from this country the scandal and disgrace of the condition of millions of its inhabi tants.—(Cheers.) Yes, he considered it a scandal to this country, envied by surrounding nations for its wealth and greatness—whose boast it is that the sun never sets upon its dependencies —at the head, as it is called, of civilisation, should have people starving in the streets, and by tens and hundreds of thousands destitute of all the comforts and essentials of civilised life.—(Cheers.) Better would it be to be shorn of some of its grandeur, if that was the cause of its misery, than that such things should be. But that is not the fact—(Hear, hear)—and it is a scandal to think that it proceeds from nothing but selfish, foolish, barbarous legislation.—(Loud cheers.) Of this he did feel as sure as man could of what had not occurred, that as long as they appeared indifferent the law would continue, and that it would be abandoned with their earnest demand for its repeal.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the following reso lution :—" That the past proceedings of the Metro politan Anti-Corn-law Association, and of the Anti- Corn-law League, and the efficacy of their honest, peaceable, and constitutional means to gain their benevolent and righteous ends, entitle them to the confidence of the people, of England ; and regarding with satisfaction the cordiality with which the coun try has responded to the appeal for subscriptions to the Great League Fund, this meeting of inhabitants of London pledges itself to aid in contributing to the ex - pense of conducting the national contest with mono poly to a happy issue, in a manner worthy of the social and commercial importance of this great me tropolis." Mr. COATBS, in seconding the resolution, said that he considered the Curn-laws doomed. They had no ;longer any arguments to meet. Their opponents had at length discovered that agriculture could never thrive upon the distresses of the nation.—(Cheers.) He had recently read the lucubrations of the two great organs of the Conservative party, the Quarterly Review and the Tinzes, and what was the charge which :hese publications brought against the advocates of the abolition of the Corn-laws ?It was this, that those who opposed the Corn-laws were interested parties. No doubt they were.—(Laughter.) When a man's stomach was empty he had an interest in getting it filled. -- (Laughter and cheers.) When he had nothing in his pockets he had an interest in putting something there.—(Cheers. When he was without trade, owing to false legisla tion, he had an interest in curing that legislation, to improve his trade ; and when he was carrying on trade without a profit, owing to corrupt laws, he had an interest in repealing those laws that he might I obtain a profit.—(Cheers.) The interest which ani mated the people in their opposition to the Corn-laws was one that communicated a benefit to all. Yes, if they would but know it, it was as beneficial to the landlord himself as to the farmer, tine manufacturer, the merchant, and the labourer.—(Cheers.) The present state of the country was admitted by all par ties to be most deplorable. Many remedies had been suggested. One class of Reformers had urged the necessity- of an extension of religious instruction. Sir Robert Inglis had advocated the building of new churches. In Bethnal-green no less than ten new churches were being built. But the articles which the people wanted were bread, coffee, beef, sugar, and such things; whereas Sir Robert Inglis, supported as he hoped to be by Sir Robert Peel, sought to give them other articles—the Thirty-nine.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Coates concluded by urging upon the meeting to subscribe liberally to a fund which leas intended to promote the interests of the public. Mr. JOHNSON supported the resolution. He strong ly complained of the inquisitorial character of the Income-tax. Questions had been put to'him of a nature that no independent and free man could submit to. He had not only been interrogated as to his petty cash disbursements, but even as to what he paid for his children's schooling !—(Cries of " Shame.") One monstrous evil of the Corn-law was, that the tax it extorted from the people did not find its way to the Exchequer, but went into the pockets of the landlords. JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary.

HISTORY of the HOUSE OF COMMONS, from the Convention Parliament of 1688-9, to the passing of the Re form Bill, in 1832. By WM. CHARLES TOWNSHEND, Esq., M.A., Recorder of Macclesfield, in Bvo. GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW MEET ING AT GLASGOW. (Abridged from the Glasgow Cowhide.) On Monday a public meeting, which had been called in consequence of a numerously-signed requisi tion presented to the Lord Provost, was held in the Trades'-hall, consisting of the clergy, merchants, hankers, and other inhabitants of the city, td . consider the effect of the Corn and Provision-laws on the moral and physical condition of the people. Before the hour of meeting the spacious hall was crowded to the door by one of the most respectable assemblages we have ever seen gathered together in the city. The Chartists were very numerous, and many hundreds of respectable citizens were unable to obtain admittance. On the motion of Ch ARLES GRAY, Esq., Chief Ma gistrate of Gorbals, James Oswald, Esq., M.P. for the City, was called to the Chair by acclamation. The hustings was crowded by many of our most public-spirited citizens; among whom we observed the following, viz. :—Alexander Johnstone, Esq., of Shieldhall ; James Lumsden, Esq.; Baillie Gray, of Gorbals ; Provost Bartholomew, of Calton; Rev. Dr. Icing, Rev. Mr. Harvey, of Calton ; Rev. Mr. 111.‘Farlane, of Gorbals ; Mr. W. P. Paton ; Mr. Turner, of Thrusligrove • Mr. George Crawf or d, M r . Mr. John Tennant, M Waiter Buchanan, Mr. Ure, of Croy; Mr. George Stirling, Mr. Pattison ' • Council lors Cross, Or r , St ewar t, B ro di e , Bankier, Mr. Robt. Hutchison, Mr. W. BUCHANAN then rose amidst much ap plaus. The first resolution set fofth the very low and destitute condition of the labouring population, mid stated that this destitution was mainly attributable to the existence of the Corn and Provision-laws. He thought it would scarcely be denied by any one who had the slightest experience of the state of the manu facturing districts for the last two years, that there were unfortunately too good grounds to affirm that the condition of the - working classes was very low, that their physical comforts had been gradually re duced, and they were now at such a low pitch, that it was deemed barely possible that they could descend further.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") These gentle men who are acquainted with the destitute state of the working population in their own city, who had at tended public meetings in their behalf, and had brought forward a mass of statistical information relative to their condition, would not require him 1 to give further evidence on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) But the parties who originated this meeting were anxious to adduce the most authentic infor mation on thi3 question, so that every one might be convinced, and they had obtained it from the reports of the clergy and home missionaries, from the inquiry into the state of the Scottish Poor laws, and from the Committee appointed to inquire into the condition of those employed in mines and collieries. From the facts which were thus adduced, it was impossible to deny that destitution of the most appalling kind had been proved; and upon the fullest information, even the most unwilling parties were constrained to admit that a mass of wretchedness existed in this country, which was unexampled and unknown in any previous part of our national history. —(Hear, hear.) The resolutions went on to attribute this suffering in a great degree to the existence of the Corn and Provision-laws. By computations which had been carefully made, it had been proved that the bread of the poor man had been raised 40 per cent. in price above the sum at which it could be purchased were it made of foreign flour or foreign corn intro duced into this country.—(Hea r , hear, and appl ause .) If this statement was t rue, and he had no doubt of its correctness, it followed that the poor man, whose wages did not average more than 10s. per week, was compelled to pay out of his pittance 2s. per week as a tax to the landowners—(Loud tidies of " Hear, hear") —on the supposition that the half of his earnings went to purchase what the Americans not inappropriately termed "bread stuffs." The,case was simply this, that, in the case of a working man, earning 10s. per week, and spending .ss. of it on provisions, there was levied a tax of 25., or upon an income of 251. per annum there was levied Si. If this was true, and as he had stated, there was no doubt of the fact, it followed that these laws were not only most oppressive but most unjust.—(Hear.) The resolution pointed out that the great cause of the lowness of wages was the ex cessive competition for employment; produced, in the first place, by the limitation of our foreign markets, and next by the contraction of our own markets. There was at first an attempt made to bolster up wages, but it had failed. They knew that of late there had been a great reduction in the amount of the workman's weekly payments.—(Hear.) This reduc tion went on for a certain time, but things had come to such a pass that capitalists were forced to he cau tious, and workers were thrown out of employment altogether, thus casting thousands of helpless indi viduals upon society without either food, or the means of labour by which it could be obtained. Now, one cause of this was the limitation in foreign demand. Ile believed it was admitted by all writers on political economy that the foreign trade was lhnitedtothe amount of those productions which we could take in return. What, therefore, with colonial preferences, and other causes, the labouring classes of the country were unable to purchase those articles of foreign production which could be readily supplied. It was true that the new tariff had reduced the duty on many articles of foreign consumption, but still it left them at a prohi bitive rate so far as the poor man was concerned. Foreign productions were, in fact, excluded, and the result of it was, that in two years there had been seven hostile tariffs made against our t ra d e b y E urope and America. Our t ra d e by these tariffs was gradu ally circumscribed in woollens, cottons, and metals, and the state of the country left a prospect of fearful and appalling destitution.—(Hear.) He would allude to China, and the more readily because it had been stated that, upon the receipt of the recent intelligence, the country was to enjoy a career of bright prosperity, and all the agitation for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and all the efforts of demagogues, would go down before that sunshine which was to exist for an inde finite number of y eara .—(Cries of " Hear, heAr.") Indeed, so muc h h a d this opinion prevailed, and so confidently was it believed, that some of his own friends had believed that they were still for a time longer to suffer the oppression of the Corn-laws, we had received good new s f rom Chi na . simply because _ Now, what were the facts ? At this moment the ba lance of trade was against China. We send more produce to them than they can send us in return, an d the balance is paid us in silver.--(Hear, hear.) The o • duce taken from this country amounted in value to about 1,200,000/. ; from the continent of India they took another million, principally in raw cotton ; but by far the largest importation was in opium. Now, we had never taken from them above four millions in value, above a million of which found its way to America or Australia, and thus left a large balance against China, from which we are said soon to derive such vast advantages. It might be said, " Let us take more of their tea ;" but at the present moment there was as much tea imported as we had a market for, and so long as the duty of 200 per cent. remained there was very little prospect of an increase in the article. The great limit was found in the destitute state of the people, who, so long as the landlord' s t ax remained, could not increase their consumption of this article. Ile submitted that so long as the Corn-law tax remained, there was a limit to the consumption of tea, coffee, and sugar, which was absolutely impas sable, and until the adoption of a fundamental change it was impossible to expect a healthy trade with China or any other country.—(Hea r , h ear.) So far, therefore, from relaxing their efforts fur an abolition of the Corn-laws, on account of our altered relations with China, it was a reason why the Oppo sition should be made more determined than b3fore.-- (Loud applause.) He would briefly advert to what he conceived to be the prospects of the termination of their struggle. These prospects, he rejoi ce d t o say, were of the most cheering description. He would pass over what ; no doubt, all who were engaged in this question must feel as a guarantee of ultimate suc cess, viz., the justice of their cause, for " thrice is he armed who bath his quarrel just!" Under this faith they had gone on. He would also call their reaen • brance to the issue of former struggles, to the abos lition of slavery, which was carried by the public will. They determined that there should be no slaves BURKE'S HISTORY of the LANDED GENTRY.

BARCELONA. The spirit, independence, and courage of the Cata lonians in general, but more especially of the people of Barcelona, often impart to the otherwise monoto nous pages of Spanish history, their chief vigour and interest. Banding themselves together on all signal occasions in their small, but invincible juntas, last of all men upon earth have this people ever dreamed of passively bowing to thrall or subjection, but have n f r r a e r e i d ah n i n i r , e n s e i s l t a a t n e c e i 1 , 1 s a u i r n - 1 r b b e a e c t e t t n i l e e r n f e a o a r r d y 3 ;l l e n t i o o r v s r e p i e n i rights t u a p n d i on whatever principles at tempted, was nevertheless an instance of the same active and stirring spirit of restless feeling which has characterised them from the earliest times. The bold seaport on which its strong and rich city eye of the father of Han from whom the son ca ll e d is founded n fl i r o s e t a s r tr ß u a c i l „ r nas tt it Barcino. Built in the form of a half-moon, it has in subsequent times becom e one of the largest end handsomest cities of the kingdom, and ranks third among their number. The middle ages acknowledged it as the principal commercial place on the Mediter ranean, waters pour themselves into t harb our . O ver thi s bl ue ex panse, defendel on one side by the m ountain of Mont *midi, a strong and massive fort arises, guarding it s is spacious u wlsio andse approach, and ready to assail all hostile corners. A thousand vessels are supposed to enter it during peace, and the flags of Spain, F rance, America, and Den mark, are the most frequent that flaunt in its port. Upwards of one hundred and forty thousand fill up the sum of its population — a hardy, industrious, and courageous people. Under Charlemagne it was erected into a county. Some time after it became an independent sove reignty. The tribunal of the Inquisition once had sway, but has now no longer existence. In addition to its churches,juniversity, and libraries, it has an hospital large enough for 3,000 sick, a large arsenal, and a cannon foundry. From the year 802 to 1131, Barcelona was governed by its Own Counts, and to this day the King of Spain reckons " Count of Bar celona" among his titles. Barcelona, indeed, prior to the mersion of all the numer o us lordship; of the king dom in the crown.of Arragon, and - which were either dependent on it or on the French Ring s , was the only one which at any. time has exhibited the attributes of sovereignty. Of the stirring events of its early times, and at this especial peri_od, a respectable-sized folio might be filled; but the _ere Tornich and Dingo are given somewhat to random tales, and fables are not to be trusted. Clear history of this republic appears to dawn about the year 800, when, contrary to the general tenor of its history, the Wall of the city succumbed, and Louis of Aquitaine made a triumph ant entry, and instituted anew in it the Chris tian worship. Borello, one of the Counts, reigned seventeen years in security; but at the termina tion of that period, the formidable Almansor marched against him. The little. army of Borello, power nilly as it contested the field, was annihilated. Bar celona was stormed by the invader, and in the vast eonaagration of the town the public archives perished. Count - Raymund() 11. name was renowned throughout Spain, l'or his victories over the Moorish king. Twelve Mahommedan monarchs are said to have been tribu tary to him. The Barcelonese, under their successive Counts, were the doughtiest antagonists of the Arabs, who swarmed hither during these ages, in quite a Moorish crusade. By the marriage. of Raymond V. with - the daughter of the King of Arragon, it was united with that kingdom. In 1640 it withdrew, with all Catalonia, from the Spanish Government, and submitted to the French Crown. Again it reverted to Spain, again to France ; and, at the peace of Rys wick, was restored to Spanish rule. Its restlessness is plainly to be inferred, from these few and rapid transitions. In the war of the Spanish succession, Barcelona took the part of the Archduke Charles, and afterwards obstinately resisted the Duke of Berwick. The strong citadel on the east of the city was then erected, to overawe the inhabitants. It was in the power of the French till 1814, having been taken by AUDITORS. Professor Wheatstone, F. R.

Then there was a Catholic Emaneipation, and English, Irish, and S co t c h B urgh and Parlia mentary Reform.—(A voice, " Aye, but ye cheatel us there."—A laugh.) All these triumphs showed distinctly that when the public mind was strongly expressed there was a certainty of success. The pro gress of the Corn-law opposition, both within and without Parliament, had been alike remarkable and gratifying; and he would only call to their recollec tiOn the contrast between the position they were in now and that which they occupied four years ago. Talanks to the public press, and thanks to those able men who had taken a lead in the matter in the south, there had been such a flood of light thrown on the subject that there was now scarcely an argument brought against them.—(Applause.) The opposition they met with was like that in the Town Comicil, where the mover of the amendment scarcely identified himself with his argument.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It lied been said that the Corn-law s are re tained for the benefit of the agricultural labourer. Go to the lands of the Duke of Buckingham, and find his labourers barely earning 10s. a-week, atul then tell us that the Corn-laws are kept up for his advantage 1 The same had been stated of the farmer ; but there were many conversions among that class to the opinion that so Iqug as the Corn-laws remaine they would not enjoy,prosperity.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He congratulated the meeting that the public apathy on the subject had now passed away, and there was a bright prospect before them. II hoped`they would continue to agitate, and inc ease their exertions as the period of their triumph etate-- nearer.—(Loud applause.) He concluded by moving the resolution which he had read at the commence ment of his address. Mr. Buchanan then sat down amid thunders of applause. Mr. JOHN TENNANT had much pleasure in second ing the resolution. The CHAIRMAN .(Mr. Oswald) was about to put the resolution, when Mr. Mont, an O'Connorite, endeavoured to put an amendment which was negatived. Mr. OSWALD then put the resolutioa which had been proposed by Mr. Buchanan, and it was carried by enthusiastic acclamation. The Rev. Dr. KING amid much uproar from the O'Connorites, lola the second resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Stirling, and subsequently carried unanimously. Mr. llAsrm read the third resolution, and proceeded to speak, but was so far interrupted, as scarcely to be at all audible. PRICE sd. Councillor LUMSDEN seconded the resolution, which, being put by the Chairm an , was carr i e d , only about dozen hands being held up in opposition. Mr. W. P. PATO - N rose to move the fourth rea&- eh Millie Anderson seconded,and it was ried unanimously. • , Provost BARTHOLOMEW, of Calton, in a few very appropriate remarks proposed the next resolution, which was for memorials to Sir Robert Peel, signed by the Chairman of this meeting; and to the House of Lords, to be entrusted to Earl litzwilliam, and to the Howe of Commons, by Mr. Oswald. Dr. KING seconded the motion. The Rev. Dr. Burs, of Paisley, moved the next resolution, which was expressive of the approval of the meeting to the exertions of the Anti-Corn-law League of Manchester. It pledged to support it in its labours, and to raise funds in the city for its support:_ The Rev. Dr. KING seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Mr. Mom! who acted as Secretary to the meet ing, next read a list of the conveners of Committee to collect sub6criptions, &c. ; which being approved of, The Rev. Mr. HARVEY, of Calton, moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman ; and the meeting quietly separated, the O'Connorites evidently in a very ill natured mood; and dissatisfied that the atrocious uproar they had endeavoured to create throughout had not been attended with more successful results to themsel% es. TIE CASES OF MANSLAUGHTER AT GREAT YARMOUTH. An exaggerated account, copied from one of the local papers, appeared in The Sun of Monday last, relative to two cases of manslaughter which happened in that borough a few days preceding. The subjoined statements will place the distorted facts in their cor rect light. On Sunday, the 4th instant, William Moore, the landlord of the Green Man and Boot, in Charlotte street, was apprehended by police sergeants Coleman and Willamant, on a warrant granted by Richard Hammond, Esq., charging him with having in his house, at about one o'clo c k th a t morn i ng, v i olently assaulted William Burman, a private in the Cold stream Guards, so as to endanger his life, Moore was brought up on Monday, and remanded; and on Thursday morning Burman died. At two o'clock on that, day Moore was again brought up before the Mayor, Samuel Palmer, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates, when, upon investigation, it appeared that Burman had gone into Moore's house in com pany with a pensioner named Diball and two girls of the town, and a dispute having arisen between him and Moore about the cnarge for some gin, Moore attacked Damian, and in the scuffle that ensued, he (Burman) received the injuries of which he died. Moore was com mitted to the Borough gaol to take his trial for manslaughter, but admitted to bail. He was, how ever, detained under the Coroner's warrant, his in quest having found a verdict of manslaughter against him. On Monday, the sth instant, Gabriel Cook was ap prehended by police sergeant Bullen, at Norwich, and lodged in the station-house here, on a warrant, granted by the Mayor, S. Palmer, Esq., charging him with having, in a house of ill-fame, in this bo rough, violently kicked William Mann, so as to tense his death. On Tuesday Cooke was brought before Samuel Palmer, Esq., 11layor, and a full beneia of Magistrates, when it appeared, from the evidence, that Mann had, in the house in question, remonstrated with Cooke about his (Cooke's) fighting" with and beating another man, and that, in consequence, a fight took place between Cooke and Mann, in which Cooke was worsted and knocked down upon the bed, where he lay for four or five minutes,and then jumped ottbreia body of wilful fory up suddenly, saying with an oath---" I'll spoil you," to Norwich inquest has Castleb beer, t n o held take lniis and kicked Mann, from which injury h e died. Jook e was comurder.tte d An of Mann by the Coroner, and a verdict f o Manslaughter against Cooke returned. These two offences took place nearly at the same time, and w each ithin 100 yards of other, in a part of the town where, although the re are many respect able trade smen li v i ng in the immediate neighbourhood, there are several public-houses of a low caste, and also many little alleys, called here rows, which are literally s t u ff e d with houses of ill-fame, and infested with thieves and prostitutes of the worst description. Scarcely a day passes but parties are brought lap by the police for either drunkenness, assault, or disorderly conduct i from Charlotte-street, or the rows adjacent, but the constant influx of foreigners, fishermen;seamen, and others, all the dissolute amongst whom flock to this centre of vice seem to baffle their efilarts altogether to maintain order, although same approach to it has been effected. THE GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE FUND.— Any attempt to give the aggregate amount of sub scriptions hitherto received by the League from various quarters would be vain, even if it were practicable; and undesirable at present, because premature. But we may notice the state of the subscription in some of the large towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire,—the only two counties that have hitherto moved in this subscription. Manchester in two days contributed to state u o upwards of 4,000/. ; since which th e su b scr i ption is proceeding; but, as the collectin g -b oo k ; are in the hands of various gentlemen, it is impassible the amount since received. In Liverpool, up Mon day evening, the amount subscribed was 1,5271. In Rochdale, the total amount up to yesterday exceeded 1,800/. ! In Yorkshire also the subscription is pro ceeding; that of Leeds exceeding 1,0001., and that of Huddersfield amounting, at the beginning of this week, to upwards of 1,3001. We have named qnly five towns, the aggregate subscriptions of which, at this moment, considerably exceed 10,00/. Five towns, therefore, hare raised already more than one fifth of the total sum of 50,0001. The aggregate amount of the great fund thus raised will be made known at the meeting on the 30th January.—Mancliester Guardian. Mr. John Parry's concert on Monday evening, at Hackney, was very fully attended by a highly ele gant and respectable company. Thalberg performed two of his fantasias with his accustomed matchless power, also the duet from Norma with Madame Dukken, on two of Erard's grand pianofortes, which elicited the most rapturous applause. Mr. Laza rus p l aye d a so l o on th e c l ar i one t excel lently. A great variety of popular songs and duets were m:.,st successfully sung by Madame and Signor itonconi, Miss Dolby, Miss ltainforth, :Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. John Parry. Signor Negri presided at the i p ,e ia fo n r o o ro m rt i e ss w,ii t t a h i t g ) f r o e r i t i h t t a a r c r t i v ability. e a d n , d (ming to h e l r t p:rWaisorlamte ing in The Merry Wives qf Wind4or at Covent Garden. ... SUTHERLANDSIIIRE 7 THURSDAY, DEC. 8.--The pro pitious state of the weather since Monday of last week, is truly astonishing at such a season of the wear, every day of this week having been remarkably calm and genial. Snow has almost totally dis appeared from the highest summits, and the land is now so dry and pliant, that it is seldom in such a condition at seed time. Frost peeps in at in t irvals, but is as soon driven away by salubrious and balmy breezes fro m the high penchant mountains of West(/' loss. C a ttl e and shc:p nerer in better condition at such a period, there being: a sufficient supply of fodd er , an d an abundance of turnip. Farmers have got their cattle of every description in prime condition.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
