SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. FROM TEE :MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, THREE O'CLOCK.—Up to ten o'clock last night the rain descended in torrents, and no hopes of a change ; change, however, it did, and with a vengeance, for after midnight the rain was succeeded by a sharp frost (for which, by the way; the " early woodcock" paragraphs ought to have prepared us), and the morning broke with a bright sky and a clear search ing wind. The racing was a full average in quantity, and three of the events furnished good fields for specu lation.-The first decided was _ _ CHRON ICLE.—The intelligence conveyed in the letter of our Berlin Correspondent is truly of a most important character. Representatives from the different provinces of Prussia have as sembled within her capital, called by the King to deliberate in Council on the collective interests of the nation. It weds remarked by Machiavel, that while in his time the Italians, Spaniards, and French were little regulated in their con duct by correct moral principles ; the Germans, on the other hand, were remarkable for their honesty. And he cites, as one proof of their singular honesty, the fact, that the different Im perial towns provided for their expenses by a tax on property, each citizen being allowed the pri vilege of secret assessment and payment, and that the sum raised always corresponded with the estimate. The Germans are still distin guished for their honesty; and though there is a great deal of over-government in all the States, and many 'things are done for the people which they ought to be allowed to do for themselves, yet almost all intelligent foreigners, who have resided any time in Germany, are agreed in opinion that the different rulers are, for the most part, well-intentioned, and that the people do practically enjoy most of the advan tages of the social union. The Government of Prussia has always been considered absolute; but the Government has always been considered not only enlightened, but mild. No man in Prussia entertains the slightest apprehension, that so long as his conduct is irreproachable' his person anti—property are not perfectly secure. The most perfect confidence is reposed in the ad ministration of justice. In many, many respects, • England might take a lesson from Prussia: One great cause of the content in Prussia is,-that no class vested .with the power of trampling on other classes. There is not= one law: for the rich and another for the p00r... Still .such - a• government is defective. With the best inten tions, its measures may not be the best calculated to promote the prosperity of the people. It is proper that those who are to be affected by laws and regulations, should have a voice with re spect to them. The first step towards remedy ing this defect, is taken in the assembling of a national council at Berlin. The mode ofchoos ing the representatives, and the extent of powers committed to them, cannot be gathered from the letter of our Correspondent. The objects, how ever, on which they are called to deliberate are of the very first importance—the reduction of taxes, the establishment of a general system of railroads, and the regulation of river communi cations. The late King of Prussia promised a representative constitution to his subjects. With out attempting to defend the non-fulfilment of the promise, we may . observe that, 'in a country like Prussia, formed of provinces connected only by being under one head, and inhabited by diffe rent races of men, with powerful neighbours on every side, it was not unnatural that the King should dread the taking a step which he could not retrace, whatever the consequences. Time may have done much to cement the Prussian Mo narchy, and to dispel the causes of apprehension which weiglied with the former King. Be this as it may, the present Sovereign has by this import ant step given a proof of the confidence which he reposes in his people. We trust the experi ment will be attended with the s uccess which it so eminently deserves—and that Sovereign and people will be united more closely by a measure which can have originated only in an honest wish to contribute to the welfare of the nation. There is in the letter of our Correspondent an allusion to the indifferent success with which constitutional experiments have been made in France. The observation would have been ap propriate after the trial of the Prussian experi ment. It is certainly true, however, that our French neighbours seem to move very awkwardly in constitutional harness. What Mr. Dickens says of the Americans, may, with far more truth, be applied to the French—they repose no trust in one another. The genius of restlessness seems to have possession of them. It was observed of them by a great historian of a country which suffered much from their interference, namely, Switzerland, that the French could neither be happy themselves, nor'allow any other people to be happy. To other nations France is a subject of painful interest—of apprehension. This will be attended with one good effect : it will force the Germans to have constantly present to their minds the necessity of being united among themselves. TIMES.—It is, of course, with the greatest difficulty that any one not practically versed in the politics of Canada can pronounce an opinion upon the late important step of Sir Charles Bagot, in calling to his councils men so notorious for past indisposition to the British Government as those who have lately accepted office with such circumstances of triumph. One thing alone is, certain—that it is the commencement of a new era in colonial government. It is a great expe riment, perhaps forced upon Sir Charles Bagot by the policy of his predecessors, but certainly ot a most novel character, and the issue of which can only be loaked to with the most extreme anxiety and diffidence. We have already ob served upon the desirableness lc admitting the French population of Lower Canada to a larger share in the government of that colony than has been hitherto conceded them. Many circum stances recommend such a course. Their own simple and honest character—their mere numeri cal importance—their indisposition to the alliance of our encroaching and untrustworthy neighbours of the United States—all these circumstances point them out as fit recipients of a share, and a substantial one, of political power and in fluence. This, the late Act of Union of 1840, unpopular as it at first was with them, has at once given them. That Act conferred on a body of people not, we believe, at heart indisposed to the British protection, but still fermenting from the effects ot late popular excitement, a prepon derance in the popular assembly of Canada. Not only this, but the theory of a responsible go vernment was established. The result may prove auspicious; we are willing to hope the best. But it is a somewhat ominous consequence of this new order of things that the Governor is compelled to call to his councils, on their own terms, men who have lately been proscribed, or in prison ; and that the choice of individuals is justified upon the ground that the leaders of the French party, now predominant, were all in the same scrape, and that if any influential Frenchman at all is now to aid in the Government of Canada, it must necessarily be one of those who were trai tors or suspected a few years back. The outset is nnfortunate; not, we believe, from the fault of Sir Charles Bagot or the present Government, but from the indiscretion of those who have pre cipitated this revolution, who have left to their successors no choice between so perilous a risk as the present, and the still more daring alterna tive of suspending the fresh Canadian constitution, and supporting that suspension by the bayonets of the British soldiery, and the physical energy of a fraction of the inhabitants. We are told, that by these concessions the affections of the French are for ever bound to the British Govern ment, and that our troops may be withdrawn from Canada with no longer delay than is neces sary to find room for them in England. Such is usually the language of those who are gaining their point. This momentary popularity may indeed be the attendant upon a bold and well timed policy, but it may be the equally natural result of a weak and imprudent concession. Which it is, the future must decide. Two re marks only we would venture before concluding. One is this—that the present arrangements offer little prospect of permanence. Between the English ultra-Reformers and the French colo nists there is no real community of interest or principle. The patriarchal habits of the latter, their unenterprising though industrious charac ters, their prejudices, simplicity, and native re finement of feeling, render them no natural allies of the active, pushing, independent, money making English Radical ; and any con tinued union between two such parties, however possible • in the loose warfar . e of opposition, can neither be hoped nor feared from them when engaged in the prac tical details of legislation and administra tion. The present coalition is a mere transition state; we shall have ano ther shuffling of the cards ana da beforese Secondly, i ti .o r r a vr u a p r d fo t o r this second breaking up of parties, our expecta tions would be more gloomy than they are.

Driver, is expected to sail from Woolwich about the Ist of next month for the West Indies, and will embark at the Dockyard here Ceptain Trevor's company, 2d battalion, and Captain Griffin's company, Bth battalion, for a passage to Bar badoes, to relieve Major Haultain's company, 7th bat talion, and Captain Griffiths's company, :id battalion, their period of service at that station having expired; the former having left Woolwich on the Bth of - March, and the latter on the Ist of May, 1837, rendering their services in the West Indies about five years and a half. Captain Trevor's company was inspected at the Hospital on the 11th instant, and found a fine body of men. Captain Griffiths's company 'returned from Ireland on the 4th: inst., and . was inspected on the 6 th on the guard-mounting parade by Colonel Paterson. Captain Hennis has joined, and is doing duty at Woolwich until the embarkation of the troops in the Dee, when he will also embark, and proceed to join his company, at present at Barbadoes ; but, from its period of service there, it is probable it will be re lieved next year. The Sultana, Arab ship-of-war, undergoing a coni plete renovation in the basin of the Woolwich Dock yard, is now nearly completed, and is expected to sail ahout the end of next week. This is the vessel which brought the beautiful little horses and other presents from the Imaum of Muscat to her Majesty some time ago. The British Government have been very liberal in providing for the crew three months' provisions of rice, sugar, cheese, and such other necessaries as the scru ples of the Mahomedans and castes of the Persians on board will permit them to accept, having been put on board. They will not accept of any animal food, as they only eat such as are killed by one of the crew. The number of sailors and slaves belonging to the vessel is upwards of 40, and they have a pilot captain, as they term him, who denominates himself a citizen of America, as his wife and children reside there, al though he has been in the service of the Imaum up wards of ten years. The pilot captain is, however, properly a Scotchman, having, as he says, been born i Fife ;" but, like many other members t t r3, resolved to earn an honest i p % n ' n t 3 h r e i e o a east that u u anytnpeark o' he, part of ofn world where his lot might 'be cast, and appears quite contented with his present situation, although it is rather a heavy charge to be responsible for the native captain and crew. The mullam, or mate, has got married to an English woman since he came to this country, and the na kador, or native captain, went to the parish church of Woolwich this morning to be married to a young girl from Deptford, with whom he had become acquainted at the time his vessel was lying there. The Rev. Mr. Greenlaw put several questions to the girl, and ascer tained that she was an orphan, and had no relations alive, and, therefore, he at once declined to perform the ceremony as the nakador could not speak one word of English. The worthy clergyman also stated to the girl that he would not marry her unless he was perfectly satisfied the native captain understood, through an interpreter, the nature and objects of the ceremony, and feelingly pointed out to the intending bride the probable usage she might expect in a foreign land. Whether the parties are married by this time is not known ; but they left Woolwich in the forenoon for 'Deptford, with the view of being married there. In answer to a question put by the pilot captain, one of the natives stated that the nakador had two wives in his own country already. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered ten anchors to be put on board the Sultana, for the Imaum, and the Board of Ordnance ten 12- pounder carronades, besides several other presents by order of her Majesty. The whole of the vessel has been newly rigged and painted; but the crew appear very dirty, although they daily pour buckets full of water over their heads, in c ompliance with the injunc- AUDITOR .

CCAUTION TO FAMILIES.—The high repu - IL/ tation, and consequently, great demand, for the under mentioned Preparations, have excited the cupidity of some SHOP-KEEPERS, of apparent respectability, but destitute alike of honour and talent, who,: for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, basely attempt to impose their pernicious compounds upon the Public as the real " MACASSAR OIL.

To frustrate suck imposition, it is necessary, on purchasing either article, to see that the word " ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper, as follows, without which none are Genuine. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, Prioe 3s. 6d., is. ; or Family Bottles (containing four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. per bottle.

MURDUROUS OUTRAGE.— On Tuesday a Govern ment notice was inserted in the. Police Gazette, offer ing a reward of 1001. for the apprehension of a set of villains, five in number, who, on the evening of the 16th of September, broke into the dwelling-house of Charles Inglefield, in the township of Bebbington, county of Chester (one of them wearing a black veil over his face), and severely beat and dangerously cut and wounded Charles Inglefield and an old woman, his housekeeper. They left behind them a loaded pistol and a hat ; 50/. of the reward will be paid by her Ma jesty's Government, 251. by the township of Bebbing ton, and 25/. by George Orred, Esq., the owner of the house. A promise of her INlajesty's pardon is also held out to any accomplice not guilty of the actual personal violence, for such information as may lead to the convictke of the rest. • ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Mornbs, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. understand them, of doubt,whether the Act of the Imperial Legislature is conclusively binding on the colonies without the additional sanction of the colonial ratification. If this is to be the tone of the coalition, speedy be its dissolution; for such a spirit administering the affairs of the colony on the principle now apparently Con ceded of " responsible," that is, in fact, inde pendent, local government, would be indeed a dangerous enemy to the Home authority ; as the shrewd Yankee press has found out, telling us, with some admixture of contempt, that however generous, however worthy of a new era in go vernment, that principle may be, it is palpably at variance with the laws of colonial empire, and. must disable us from holding that empire to gether one year after it has ceased to be sup ported by the most palpable and present coinci dence of interests. HERALD.—We have never a moment doubt ed, indeed we have incessantly proclaimed, that the soil of these islands, cultivated with all the enterprise which capital, knowledge, and neces sity are sure to beget, was capable of maintain ing a much larger population than the present. At the great national agricultural meeting held during the summer at Bristol, every practical, every scientific authority gave assurance of this capability—not as a result to be attained by boundless expenditure, and as a world's wonder only, but by the profitable investment of capital, by careful and judicious outlay, and as an every day working result. These assertions, doubtless, sounded strangely and incredibly on the ears of the backward agriculture of many southern Eng lish counties; but their truthfulness and accuracy were manifest to all acquainted with agriculture in the Lothians of Scotland, or on the banks of the Tweed ; and yet how much is there yet that remains undone even in those well farmed districts, though tile-draining, . sub soil ploughing, and new manures are still increasing their production. Now there is not' an English county which might .not have its Lothians, as there is not one but which will, if landlords and tenants be wise and true to them selves, have its Lothians. The Scotch and north of England farmers, it is notorious, care far less about Corn-law protection than do their brethren in the south, because their enterprise and spirit have actually made them far more independent thereof; and yet it is a well-known fact 'that Northumberland farmers have to struggle against lower prices and inferior quality of grain. We are not, in stating these facts, advocating diminished protection to native agriculture; but we do assert that the . smaller the pro tection the farmers can cultivate with the better for themselves and the country ; that energy is worth more to them than high duties ; and equalisation of public burdens is the justest demand they have on the Legislature. We claim for these views identity with the opi nions of the most intelligent landlords and the most successful tenants; and amongst all the recent proceedings of agricultural meetings, we have noticed none more satisfactory than those of two which have been lately holden at Saffron Walden and Hereford. The tone of the speeches at either was just what it ought to be in times like the present; there was no expression of de spair uttered, every sentence was full of mutual encouragement or confidence. The puerilites of the Morning Post were contemptuously noticed as specimens of the ignorance of men who write about what they do not understand ; and we so licit attention to the speeches of Lords Bray brooke and Carnarvon, and Sir John Tyrell, at Saffron Walden, and of Mr. Barneby and Sir Robert Price at Hereford, as completely con firmatory of the opinions we have expressed.

CORONERS' INQUESTS THE SUPPOSED MURDER IN THE SURREY CANAL.— An inquest was taken yesterday before Mr. Carter, at the Bridge House beer-shop, Old Kent-road, on the body of Sarah Saunders, aged 17, which, was disco vered in the Surrey Canal on Friday, the 21st inst. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had been living in the service of a greengrocer, of the name of Eden, in the Horseferry-road, Westminster. That on Sunday, the 9th of this month, she was dis charged in consequence of her mistress objecting to her loose habits. She then proceeded to Mrs. Mar riatt's, of the Horseferry-road, where she took tea with the family. She requested Mrs. Marriatt to allow her daughter to accompany her to St. Martin's Church on the same evening, but her request was not acceded to, and the deceased and a daughter of Mrs. Marriatt's proceeded to a Sunday school in the neighbourhood. While there the deceased told Miss Marriatt that had she accompanied her across St. James's-park, it was her intention to have drowned herself in the enclosure. The deceased was left in the Sunday school on the Sunday evening, and the last time she was seen alive was on the following morning, opposite Bethlem Hospital, when she re quested a Mrs. Smith to look out for a situation for her, adding that her mother was dead, that her father was alive, but she did not know where to find him. It also transpired that previous to her entering Mr. Eden's service, she lived with a young man a: No. 20, Little Peter-street, Westminster, who was in the habit, according to the statement of Inspector Walters, of much ill-using her. She had declared that she would drown herself in the neighbourhood of her paramour's residence, which was stated to be in the Kent-road. Mr. Todd, the surgeon, gave evidence of having made a post snortenz examination, and stated his most decided opinion, that the discolouration of the dura mater was the effect of a blow given or received before death. That the vessels of the brain were distended from immersion in the water, but that the substance of the brain was in a healthy state. Several of the Jury remarked that there was no evidence of how the deceased came into the water, and after a protracted discussion, in which the Coroner took a part, the following verdict was agreed to " That the deceased died from suffocation, produced by drowning, but there was no evidence 3efore the Jury , to show in what state of mind she was in at the time. • The CORONER observed that the finding of the Jury did not prevent ulterior measures being adopted be fore the Magistrates, in the event of the police re ceiving further evidence. Yesterday a long inquiry was proceeded with before Mr. WAKLEY, M.P., at the Hope and Anchor public house, Pont-place, near Chelsea New Church, into the circumstances connected with the death of Charles Hudson, aged 38 years, whose death, it was alleged, had been caused by the effects o f severe i n j ur i es -- he had received in a fight on the night of Wednesday, the sth instant. After the examination of several witnesses, however, the Jury, at the suggestion of the Coroner, returned a verdict—" That deceased died from extravasation of blood on the brain, but whether arising from natural causes or from the effects of violence there was no evidence to show." TAIN GAOL HAIINTED.—On the night of Friday last, the much-to-be-envied individual occupants of those desirable apartments were suddenly aroused from their slumbers by tremendous and unearthly like bawling and screaming in the upper cell of the old tower, occupied by the younger of the two lads convicted at the last Inverness Assizes of issuing base coin. The gaoler, who now always sleeps in the tower, having entered this cell to ascertain the cause of so untimely a disturbance, found the culprit seated on the base of the window, cringed as round as a ball, and in a most pitiable state of fright. On questioning him, he said, that being wide awake, and lying iu his bed, he distinctly saw a very large figure walking to and fro the length of the cell, at each time p2ssing his bed, and the moon at the time shining directly in at the window (the bed being opposite) caused - him to see the object, the plainer; for in passing the window it always darkened the rays of the moon, expressing itself at intervals thus :—" Do it, do it, do it." His entreaties and appeals to the gaoler to have him re moved, were couched in such heartrending strains, that he was obliged to put him into another cell where two others were confined and slept together : but so frightened was he, that nothing would quiet him until he got between the two in bed, where his whole body shook all night like an aspen leaf, nor slept he any. He always had a voracious appetite, but since the above scene he has eaten little or nothing. This sh'iuld act as a warning to all those in Ross-shire who are inclined to commit such acts as might make the m inmates of the Tain gaol, for they are not on l y watched and guarded by natural, but, it would appear , by supernatural gaolers.—Ross-shire Advertis er. ON DlT.—That Sir Robert Pe e l, i n a co nversation with the head of a scientific institution connected with the Government, was asked ho w,in a case stated, the return under his own Inco me-tax ought to be made ? The Premier confessed his ignorance, and declared he did not know how th re m ci a tar ke emeoututlls of his own return, so as to comply with Act CHRIST'S HOSPI AL. SOCIETY OF BENEVOLENT BLUES. The half-yearly meeting of the subscriberretolu Institution was held at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, for the purpose of receivingthehalf-yearly Report of the Directors, and also a statement of the accounts, from the Secretary. The Rev. Dr. RICE took the chair, and briefly stated the object of the meeting. The minutes of the last half-yearly meeting were read and confirmed. The SECRETARY then read the Report, which stated that since the last meeting, there had been about 150 applicants for relief, 11 of whom were for the first time. In almost all the cases the relief sought had been afforded. The statement of the accounts was then read, from which it appeared that thereceipts for the year were 330/. 7s. 11d., and the expenditure 2051. 10s. 11d., leaving a balance in the hands of the Treasurer of 124/. lis. The Report was adopted,..several officers were re -elected, and thanks having been voted to the Chair man, the meeting separated. THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND. • The Council of the Anti-Corn-law League have issued the following address to the people of Great Britain and Ireland : FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,—We have again to invite your assistance in the prosecution of our great work. your pecuniary su pp or t, as we ll as Our cause requires your active co-operation. But we should be ashamed to solicit your contributions; wire it not that in help ing Us you help yourselves, and hasten the time that shall stay the plunder of your property, arrest the downfal Of commerce, free the springs of industry, untax your children's food, and mitigate the sufferings and privations of the poor. The League originated in the conviction that re striction on the importation of foreign grain is a policy not less unwise and suicidal than unjust and oppressive. To this policy they refer the closing against us, in rapid succession, of the world's mar kets, and the consequent, depression of that manufac turing system which has furnished the means of sub sistence to labouring millions, . more than trebled the value of their land to the proprietors of the soil, aug mented the national resources notwithstanding the pressure of unprecedented taxation, allied itself in the past with the most extraordinary progress of a people that history records, and held. out for the future the surest, or the only prospect, of providing for the wants of a rapidly multiplying population, cknd sustaining the position of our country in a peaceful supremacy among the nations of the earth. • The restrictive policy lays the axe to the root of our national prosperity. It increases not merely tem porary embarrassment in commercial relations, but a continuous depression tending to utter ruin. Hence the warfare, for life or death, which the. League has waged against it. We have had to contend with the ignorance and prejudices of the many, and the sinister interest of the few. Success was only to be attained through the formation of a public opinion so clear, decided, and general, as to be irresistible. And to wards that point we have advanced; more slowly, in deed, than the inipoverishment of the industrious and the sufferings of the multitude rendered desirable ; but st4l with a progress which testifies that we are in the right path, and stimulates us to redoublel exertion. Our aim has been to have no one individual des titute of the means of perceiving how injurious the taxation on food is to himself and the community. To the influence by which it is supported, we have opposed the power of reason and the claims of justice ; and we have met by facts the sophisms by which it is palliated. For this end not fewer than two thousand lectures have been delivered an the subject of the Corn •laws ; more than five millions of tracts have been printed and circulated; petitions have been presented to the Legislature with millions of sig. natures, praying for the redress of the great wrong under which the 'country groans ; our Conferenee, formed by deputations from various parts of the king dom, has five times met in the metropolis to remon strate with the executive Government and the Legisla ture ; the ministers of religion have met in large num bers, in Manchester, Edinburgh, and Carnarvon, pro testing against the demoralizing influences (which they had witnessed) of that policy which interferes betwixt man and the bounties of Providence. In combination with an extent of personal exertion such as no merely political agitation could have called forth, an expenditure has been incurred, and de frayed, of no less than one hundred thousand pounds. And still, though much has been ac complished ; though the principles of free trade are rapidly extending themselves from our cities and large towns into remote agricultural dis tricts ; though we have seen the necessity of change, from being sturdily and contemptuously denied, be come generally admitted ; though the emergency has made it so obvious, that the defeat of the late Admi nistration for its proposition of a fixed duty has been followed by the Tariff and , modified Corn-law of the present Administration ; yet still how much remains to be done before the monster Monopoly sinks under its death-blow, and before the words of the Minister selected for its champion, that " the nation's policy undoubtedly is to sell in the dearest, and buy in the cheapest market," become a legal reality and a pracs tical blessing. Further and increasingly strenuous exertions, then, are necessary to set the seal of final success upon the past. The very ground we have gained demands and inspirits to redoubled effort. The pressure , beneath which industry sinks is not yet heaved off; but the force applied has made it move, and perseverance will accomplish all. There must be more lectures, more tracts, more conferences, more agitation. Every county and borough electorin the kingdom mustbe perioually visited, and a condensed library of evidence and rea soning against the Corn-law be placed in his hands. Monopoly will not yield without such efforts ; and it shall have them. We are entering on the fifth year of this struggle for truth , for...justice, for existence. We ask of you to replenish our pecuniary means for sustaining it. Our appeal is made confidently, for the character of the agitation is sanctioned by its pro gress • and what is any outlay to the object to be gained ? We have reported the amount already ex pended ; and we now appeal to you to create confi dence in our cause, and dismay in its selfish oppo nents, by enabling us to commence the ensuing year of Arfti-Corn-law agitation with a disposable fund of Fifty Thousand Pounds. We are confident we shall not ask in vain. It would be a large sum were the object unimportant; to repeal the Corn-law it is as nothing. There is not a town in the kingdom which would not cheaply pur chase the repeal of that blasting and iniquitous law by a contribution equal to the whole sum. It is but one million shillings—it is but four hundred thousand half-Crowns—it is but two hundred thousand ciowna —it is less than a halfpenny per head from the whole popnlation ! The two millions that pe titioned Parliament for repeal can easily raise this sum.; and since they last signed a petition, hundreds of thousands have become repealers. The fifty thousand pounds, then, will be obtained; but -it ,is desirable that all parts of the king dom should contribute. We propose the following mode of rendering the collection general and in some degree equal. In every town a committee must be formed, consisting of ladies and gentlemen, having a secretary and treasurer, whose names are to be forwarded to the Chairman of the Council . in Manchester. A beautifully engraved subscription card and a duplicate card will be furnished to every collector, each card to represent a certain sum w h ic h the the collector undertakes or w ill endeavour to ob tain ; the duplicate to be forwarded to Man chester when the card is fi lled u p , :An account of the the sums collected is to b e sent weekly,to sli Council. In the village s and more re ti r ed the tricts, where it may not be eonvenien!roeratpearacutsiecawbilsi to form committees, the friends of l be provided with cards , and th l e i y e d Council. It is i rectly with the Chairman a great aggregate meetinfi of th e . tended that the Leag ue Fund shall be closed in Janu ary, 1843, when N a tional Anti-Corn -law League will he held in Man cheAter, at w 'licit the amount of subscriptions from each district, town, or village, will be announced. To h o a t v h e er vo e t m ed in fore eminent this great me etin g all the members of th e H ouse o f C o mmons and Peery, wh o with a individuals, repealof t N . h .i e ll C b ( e 'rn ii - 1 1 :ite "s d ' y , together with mi n i s t ers o f religion of all denominations, deputies, and members oftheLeague from all parts is of e brief k ingdom. The ab o ve sketch of the pl an w hi c h the League intends to pursue • and • e are now engaged in arranging the details d wee future operations. Circumstances have placed the League in the van of this great battle •.and from which P the post ro vidence seems to have • assigned them they will neither retire in we • ariness nor be driven by obloquy. But it is with ,a feeling of deep responsibility that they apply th emse l ves to t h e i r tas k. . The condition of honest industry, the food of famishing multi t u des, the well-being o f millions, and the future of a great nation are at stake. In the prolonged delay of re dress we can only perceive the symptoms of impending calamity and of sure destruction. Our cause is that of humanity itself ; and it is sanctioned by the religion which teaches mankind to pray for the daily bread which Heaven has provided, but monopoly withholds. In a spirit worthy of such a cause would we pursue it to the end, seeking the success which must eventually be achieved, from peaceful, legal, and honourable en deavour; from enhghtened conviction; from compas sion for human suffering and the.recognitiou of eter nal justice; from the submission of a sordid class in terest to the common good ; from the wisdom of legis lation, though slow and late in its reflection of public opinion ; and from the blessing of Heaven, never withheld from righteous and beneficent endeavour.
