COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY) PERSONAL ♦PPLICATION, Mr. TAILIN, who has been a suitor for a great many years in this Court, and who has often endeavoured to get his suit pressed forward, applied at the sitting of the Court, and prayed that his Lordship would be pleased to name a day on which his unfortunate (as he called it) case might be heard—tie money in the cause having been locked up in Court for no less than the last four and twenty years. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would take a note of it—that he would speak to his Secretary about it, and ascertain what day could be appOinted for it. IN RE STARKIE, 1 LUNATIC. Mr. SPENCE obtained an order of reference in this matter to the Master, respecting certain long leases (990 years) of some part of the immense property of the lunatic, for building upon, in Manchester.

The great cause of the Dissenters of England has just received a mighty increase of strength. The Dissenters of Manchester have at length boldly asserted their com mon rights. On the evening of Wednesday they assem bled in crowds, at the Exchange Dining.rown, to take their grievances into consideration, and held a meeting at once peaceable, unanimous, and firm. The intense inte rest which this meeting created may be inferred when we state that numbers were unable to obtain admission, and many induced to attend from several miles distance, although the rain fell in torrents the whole of the evening. Here follows a long report of the meeting, for which we have not room, but which terminated in the adoption of the following petition : " To the Honourable the House of Commons in Parlia. ment assembled, " The humble petition of the undersigned Dissenters from the Church by law established, and others, inha bitants of Manchester and its vicinity, " Showeth, " That in the deliberate opinion of your petitioners, all civil establishments of religion are an infringement of the rights of conscience, at variance with the spirit, and opposed to the pro gress of Christianity. "That although such establishments are indebted for their power to a union with the state, and might therefore be ex. petted to co-operate uniformly with it, yet your petitioners have regretted to observe that they ton frequently employ the influence derived from this union in thwarting the govern ment, when its measures are really calculated to promote gene ral education, to extend the liberties, and to augment the hap. piness of the people. " That the law which authorises bishops to sit in the Upper House of Parliament, to represent the interests and wishes of their own denomination on all occasions, both ecclesiastical and political, compromises the character of the Christian ministry, is a partial and unjust preference of one class of his Majesty's subjects over all others, and a special grievance to the dis senters, presbyterians, and catholics of England, Scotland, and Ireland, who compose a large majority of the people of the United Kingdom. " Entertaining these sentiments, viewing all compulsory support of religion as unjust and oppressive, and the distinctions now subsisting between churchmen and dissenters as invidious, your petitioners respectfully, but firmly and decidedly, express their entire disapproval, on principle of all connection between chureh and state, under the full conviction that the true in. terests of both would be best promoted by their separation, and that nothing short of this will effectually redress the grievances of dissenters. " That, in common with Dissenters in all parts of the United Kingdom, who, by their voluntary efforts, erect and keep in repair their own places of worship,—support their own minis ters,—maintain, to a great extent, their own poor,—educate in Sunday schools, and otherwise, vast numbers of the popula. tion,—extend their exertions into the British colonies, and thus contribute largely to the welfare of their fellow-subjects, your petitioners feel it a heavy grievance to be compelled to support, by tithes, rates, or any other mode, any civil establish. ment of religion ; leaving, however, the future appropriation of tithes, or of any fund into which they may be commuted, to the deliberate consideration of the Legislature; but dis claiming all pecuniary support from the state for ministers of religion. " That under the operation of the present ecclesiastical sys tem, there is no general register of births ; Dissenters are pre vented from legally contracting marriage, and from interring their dead in parish burial-grounds, unless they conform to rites of which they conscientiously disapprove ; and by the imposition of religious tests they are excluded from the Eng lish Universities ; therefore your petitioners humbly pray " That the connexion between church and state may be dissolved with the least delay practicable, that there may be a repeal of the act of parliament which authorises the prelates of the established church to sit in the Upper House. " That all laws compelling support of any religious denomi nation whatever may be repealed. " That a universal civil registration of births, marriages and burials may be established. " That the marriage contract may be legalized, and the burial service performed in parish burial.places, apart from all obligatory compliance with the forms of the established church; and that dissenters may have access to the English Universities without submitting to any religious test. " And your petitioners will ever pray, &c." MATRIMONY.—It would seem that the fa vours of Hymen are at this time thinly strewed at Mans field; for in that parish which contains a population of more than ten thousand, not a single banns of marriage were public) ed in the parish church on Sunday the 2d. inst., a circumstance of singular and rare occurrence. — Doncaster Gazette. CROPLEY RE THE DERBY GAS COMPANY Sir E. SUGDEN replied this morning in this part-heard case, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of obtaining an in junction to restrain the defendants from manufacturing, using, or selling certain gas meters which the plaintiff alleged were an infringement on the patent obtained by Mr. Clegg, of which he was the sole assignee. On a previous occasion application was made for, and an injunction obtained, restraining the defendant from manufacturing or selling the meters. His HoNova, after hearing the whole of the arguments, gave ludgment continuing the injunction. -,. COURT CIRCULAR..

The arrivals of all kinds of grain last week were moderate, and of flour fair,mThe trade throughout remained without variation from the terms of this day se'nnight. This morning the fresh supply is not equal to that of previous weeks, and the attendance of buyers was tolerably good. Fine Wheat fully supports the terms last noted, and meets ready sale, but other descriptions are without variation. Malting Barley meets a steady demand at previous prices ; grinding steady at our quo. tations. In Beans, both old and new, no alteration. Boiling Peas still meet a heavy sale. Grey Peas are rather dearer. For Oats the trade is pretty brisk to-day, but prices cannot be quoted any higher. Flour heavy, and unvaried in price. PRICKS ON BOARD OP SHIP.

It has been a general observation within the last two days, that the (Haste on Mi.. Hume's corn law motion was one of the dullest and most tiresome which have occurred for many years in parliament. For this, two reason; may be assigned-Ist, That discussions on commercial policy are seldom suscep• tible of much vivacity or decoration. 2d, That on the corn question, affecting so deeply every interest in the state, nothing of importance could be said which has not been already, and repeatedly, written. Another circumstance perhaps may be cited expla natory of the flatness with which this great question went off, viz.—that those speakers on both sides of the house who usually succeed best in commanding the attention of their hearers took no part in the discussion. Mr. Stanley, Sir Robert Peel, and others, were silent. We have often laboured to con vince the tenantry and yeomanry of England how grievously they had been duped by those of the landed proprietors who represented the corn tax to be one in whose maintenance the former classes of our countrymen were substantially :nterested. It is said pertinaciously by the landlord, that the tenant would lose " all remuneration of his abour" were the corn tax to be repealed ; while the proper formula of the complaint ought to be, that without a corn law the landlord could not exact the same amount of rent as the land now yields him. Is it, then, the manufacturers of England who are to pay the rents of the aristocracy in the shape of a tax on their daily bread ? The landed proprietor answers gravely, " Yes, for otherwise I cannot pay , he interest on my mortgages, and shall be utterly ruined." This brings the question to a short issue. When, owing to the rise of prices during he war, the rent of land was doubled and trebled, the landlords of England were raised to a degree of affluence which they had never anticipated, and of which it depended on themselves to make the proper use. They ought to have seen that the cause of this sudden growth of their property, without any exercise of industry or trouble on the part, was transient, and would cease or subside when the war should terminate. That was the time, therefore, for the landed interest to retain the wealth which it acquired—the time to consider the war profits as an increase of capital, not of income —to pay off mot tgages previously incurred—and to provide for children, without trusting to a precarious futurity. But how did these gentlemen employ the unlooked-for benefit ? They leaned upon it as a last ing accession of property, as a fixed principle in the nature of things, not liable to accident or change; they were encouraged by it to fresh and more un restrained expenses —to larger settlements —to bolder mortgages; and all went on well until the peace came, when they awoke from the delirium— found it was but a dream ; and in their despera tion, 'rather than face the creditors whom they feared they could no longer satisfy, and the ruin which their blind improvidence had earned, they wheeled round upon the people of England, and told them, " You shall perpetuate for us in peace, and at the national cost, that agricul tural prosperity, which our own war policy had forced and pampered. You, the nation, shall pro vide for our younger children. You shall discharge the interest of our mortgages, maintain our equi pages, and pay our enormous and unnatural ren:s. Though the foreign market for your manufactures be closed against you,—though your profits sink to nothing,—though thousands of artisans be relegated to the parish,—though, in addition, our own la bourers receive half their wages from the pauper funds,—though corn be raised by a prodigality of labour from sods which nature destined for the oak, the larch, or the sheep-walk,—though bread may be had for 4d. the quartern loaf within a week's sail of the British harbours,—you, the mass of the people of England, shall pay 4d. for half a loaf, that our monopoly may endure for ever." Now let ns ask, is not this the precise language of the 'Squires, divested of all mystification about the in terests of " the farmer," " the tenant," &c. ?—and, next, was anything so audacious or so iniquitous ever before uttered by man ? If a bankrupt agricul turist can thus flay the manufacturer alive, had riot the bankrupt merchant, who invested capital and formed rash engagements on the strength of his own stupid confidence and forgetfulness of what was coming, an equal right to demand from the coun try the means of paying his creditors 20s. in the pound ? What is the corn law but an annual and gratuitous transfer of tens of millions of national revenue to one order of men throughout the coun try ? Whltt but an enlargement of the pension list, until it embraces the whole landed aristocracy of England ? If the country gentlemen apostro phize the change of currency, the fall of prices, and the national debt, as grounds on which they have a right to demand indemnification in the form of a monopoly of the grain market, and the universal tax on manufacturing industry for the benefit of those idlers who possess the soil, let us just inquire to whose votes in both houses of Parliament is it, that we owe the vast burden of the national debt ? For whose prodigious profits were thole enormous prices of all produce, which enhanced the magni tude of each successive loan ? Was not the whole period of the long twenty years' war a season of immeasurable riches to the landlords ? And is that worst political evil of a war—the difficulty of pur chasing the necessaries of life—to be prolonged after the war had ceased, for their exclusive benefit, because they shut their eyes toa fact of which every King's speech, at the opening of a session, and every resolution.of either house of Parliament might have reminded them,viz., that the signature of peace was the predestined hour for a return to metallic cur rency, and that loans and contracts, and high prices and high rents, must then meet their natural death ? Such oppression, it may well be exclaimed, was never practised upon any people as that of wrenching cheap subsistence from the poor man's hand, and driving him to seek for it where it is most difficult of access. It is a glaring outrage upon the first duties of humanity, and a sin against the bounty of Providence. We have hitherto urged the repeal of the corn law upon the single argument of justice, and on that we stand. The tax on bread is a tyranny, to which no human society ought to be subjected. Opinions may differ as to the rise or fall of prices after the repeal of this tax : if they do nut fall, the landlords have nothing to deplore— if a fall is to be the consequence, we are now a trampled nation. The principle of the corn law is indeed unaffected by either of these results. Yet there are one or two probabilities approaching to moral certainty, which ought not to be overlooked with a view to the interests of the parties who conceive themselves to be most concerned in th.s question. Mr. Hume in his opening speech pointed out the immense increase of town population which had taken place since the year 1791, the last year in which England had exported corn. Hence, it is no mystery why she should latterly have never failed to draw part of her consumption from foreign soils. Are not the landlords, therefore, satisfied that the agricultural produce of the United Kingdom falls annually short of the home consumption ? Have they ever for the last 30 years even once been able to raise corn enough for the demands of the whole population; and that even with all the stimulus and security which a heavy impost could furnish ? Their corn duty, therefore, amounts to this—that after in suring a sale of every pound's worth of corn which they . can grow upon their own properties, they refuse to that portion of their countrymen whom they are themselves unable to feed, the privilege of procuring food in any other part of the world without paying a tax for such an exemption from famine. It not fair to argue from the assumed approximation of foreign prices to those of the English market, arising out of a repeal of the corn law, that be cause the price here would not fall much, there fore our manufacturers would not be largely benefitted. What our manufacturers com plain of, is not so much the positive price of bread, as the difference of price to whiehtheyaie subject, compared with the foreign manufacturer s . Whatever brings the English cost of production sere nearly on a level with the foreign than it is at aresent mast go to is.:iiiree the extension of our foreign commerce; and whether that be accom plished by a rise of price abroad, or by a fall at home, or, as is most natural to look for, by both simultaneously, so far as concerns the manufacturer merely, it matters very little. What he now suf fers from, is the excessive difference of price; what he wants is equality, or at least approximation; in it her case he will be sure to undersell his foreign rivals, but in the former more extensively of course. We do not deny that it is an important question for the landlords, whether the increase of our exports is to result from a rise abroad, or a decline in the va lue of home produce. Our ofrn impression is, that both immediately and finally the improved success of British mdnufectures will be owing to a consider able rise in the price of foreign corn. With regard o the conduct of this last debate, and the speakers in it, there is little to be remarked of any value to the seneral question. Mr. Poulett Thomson's was trot only the best speech delivered on either side, but may rank among the ablest which have at any time been produced upon the subject of the corn laws; nor can the independent spirit with which the Vice- President of the Board of Trade, Messrs. Ethics., Littleton, Vernon Smith, and Lords Duncannon and Howick, acted in opposition to the avowed views of the Cabinet, fail to be appreciated by their constitu ents and the country. There are other gentlemen, whom we do hot refer to or deem worth consider ing, for the sake of their arguments; but they have been cited and applauded as authority upon this question, just as Sir James Graham was so re garded, only to be the more effectually and sig nally demolished by Mr. Poulett Thomson. Mr. Alexander Baring is the personage to whom we now allude. His speech, in the course of the late discussion, was like many others from the same quarter, and we do not deem it at all necessary to deal with his somewhat excursive arguments in support of that principle of corn-law mono poly, which, with a consistency eminently charac teristic of Mr. Baring, he opposed tooth and nail in former instances. In the year 1815 Mr. Baring was a merchant, and wore the garb of a liberal po litician. He is now a landlord representative of an agricultural county, and with his recent speech in their recollections, our readers may estimate without much trouble the consideration which may be dire, not to the reasonings, but to the authority of that hon. gentleman, when we quote (with the least im. peachment of his motives) the following passage from a speech which he delivered on the 17th of February, 1815, on the state of the Corn Laws:— " All that had been advanced on this point he felt as being a mere excuse for keeping up the present high rents. He contended it was impossible for any evi dence to show more clearly than the evidence before Parliament had shown, that that artificial support of the agriculture of the country which had been called for would be improper. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Western) had said this country could grow suffi cient corn for its consumption. That the progress of agriculture had increased its produce he did not doubt, and he could easily believe that it might be increased still more ; but be doubted very much if it could ever be made to furnish a permanent supply equal to the consumption of its increasing populs ton. If lands would riot produce corn without greater sums being expended on them than the corn was worth, they might be made to furnish a supply which would make us purchase our bread at ls. Gd. the loaf, when,if we exerted our industry on that same land to raise that which was congenial to its soil, by exchanging its produce against that cf the corn lands of other countries, we might get our loaf for Is. The whole mass of the country ought not to be compelled to pay a high price for bread, that the experiment of cultivating barren lands might be tried. In nothing were the dispensations of Pro vidence more admirable than in the care displayed, that the different soils of different countries should yield productions which might be advantageously exchanged for each other; it was much better then that we should employ ourselves in raising that which we might so dispose of, instead of labouring to produce that which other lands were destined to supply. The right honourable gentleman had ad mined this in other cases, but not with respect to corn. On this subject he had said, what could we do if, having thus made ourselves dependent on another country, that country in the day of our greatest need, should close her ports against us? He would answer, experience had shown that a country could never be starved. Holland was dependent on other countries for a supply of corn, and its price was and almost ever had been the average price of Europe. But then the danger of depending upon France for a supply had been strongly urged . . France, excepting in years of ex traordinary plenty like the present, would send but little corn to this country. Our greatest supplies. would be likely to be derived from the countries bordering on the Baltic. He put it to the earn. mittee, in opposition to what had been said of the danger of depending on foreign countries for our corn, if it could be anticipated that ever a period of greater difficulty would arrive than that which had occurred during the reign of Bonapartb, yet even while he was in power, in spite of his greatest hostility, more corn (three times over) had been imported into this country than ever had been be fore, within the same time, since the year 1697 more, indeed, than at any period of our history. To suppose any danger of this sort was to suppose, u thing wholly out of the question. He felt it his duty to state this, not from any ambition of pepu, lathy (about which he was as careless as any man in that house), but from a sense that he owed it to the country." Times. We have a few observations to offer on the con duct of the Government on Friday night last On the question of the corn laws—lst, To the landowner; 2dly, To the manufacturer; and 3dly, To the sup porters of the Government. Lord Grey's Govern ment have endeavoured to blind the landowner, by making it appear that the Cabinet are determined to support the landed interest, because the Cabinet voted against Mr. Hume. The landed interest will judge of the real value of this support by the fact, first, that the Government allowed the question to be an open question; secondly, that the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons gave his vote after such a fashion as will allow of his taking the opposite side the moment it may be convenient for him to do so—that is, he voted against Mr. Hume, stating that he agreed with the principle of his mo tion; thirdly, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs did tire same thing. These gentlemen, therefore, if the question come before the House of Commons again this session, may. if the landed interest are then to be thrown over, vote with Mr. Hume by means of the qualification they gave to their vote on Friday night; but in the meantime the landed interest see to be deceived into supporting the government, and thus will Lord Althorp's object be gained, There fore we say to the landed interest, be not deceived in supposing that the government mean to uphold your interests. To the manufacturer we would say, remember that your advocates, Mr. Hume and Mr. Poulett Thomson, bo.h ted you, that all the fine talk of cheap bread, at the hustings, resolves itself into this—that your loaf will not be one farthing cheaper than it is now, if the corn laws are repealed! Therefore we say to the manufacturer, when that portion of the government who supported Mr. H u me—namely, all those having manufacturing constituents—come before you again, remember this, and propose some test to the honourable gen tlemen that will rea ll y b enef i t you in some was, more proximately than th e e s ta bli s hi ng o f M r . who have we in would t i e P. Thomso n ' s abstract principle. To those honourable members tine government say, rem em b er t h at when the places of the Minis. tern depend on an y vote , th en t h ere is no such thing as an open question, then you are dragged through th e mire , an d t o ld next day at Downing habit of supporting street that unless you give up your own judgment arid give a general support to the Government, they cannot go on; but remember also that Minis ters have such things as open questions for them.
