LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1839. We copy from the Glasgow Argus and especially recommend to the attention of our readers, particu larly of those who are engaged in active opposition to the Corn-laws, an account of the proceedings at Glasgow, and of the means the people of Glasgow pro pose to adopt and recommend others to adopt, in order to carry the repeal of the Corn-laws. They propose to petition Parliament to be heard at the bar against the Corn-laws ; they have no doubt, apparently, that the prayer of such a petition would be granted, and that then., by the arguments of Counsel, by the sifting of evidence, and by the continual agitation of the subject in Parliament, a victory would be ensured. We believe so, too, provided Parliament would agree to the somewhat extraordinary course, of hearing evi dence at the bar against an existing law. We do not, at this moment, recollect any precedent for such a course ; and even though it were a usual one, the landlords, when the time comes, will exert all their power, if' they are determined to pursue their present murderous system, to defeat that proposition—certain that, if it be not defeated, the Devil's laws would be extinguished. Promoting crime, ensuring penury, ruining our manufactures, banishing our arts, and bringing about slow but certain national decay, they will not bear the light of a close investigation. On no principle of expediency, of morality, or jus tice can they be defended ; and if the landlords could not stifle the proposed Parliamentary inquiry, they would at once be sensible that their pet scheme for starving people would be blown into atoms by the national wrat'• They will, therefore, resist Mr. WEIR'S plan to the t ;tmost, and before the first point of it can be reached, the landlords must in fact and spirit be subdued. We, therefore, see no reason in the proposition of Mr. WEIR why the Press and Public Lecturers should for one moment abate their exertions, in order so to rouse the public indignation before the sneeting of Parliament, that the landlords will be afraid to brave the hurricane. We rejoice to learn that the Manchester manufac turers, like those of Glasgow, are resolved that it shall not be any fault of theirs if they do not attain their object. The following extract of a private letter, written yesterday from one of the leading gentlemen of that town, will convince the landlords that they will have no child's play next Session in defending their monopoly. The writer says— " lam this moment returned from a meeting of merchants and manufacturers, called for the purpose of raising a subscrip tion to carry our causo to the Bar of both Houses of Parlia ment. We are determined to submit no longer to having our petitions thrown under the table. If we do not get an imme diate repeal of the food taxes, we may bid farewell to all ou greatness ; and never did I see such determination in any meeting before. As the Duke of Wellington said of the Canada war, " It will not do for this country to carry on a little war," so we say it won't do for this great manufacturing community to carry on a pedling Anti-Corn-law Association. " The period for holding the meeting was most unpropi lions, as at the same time there was held a meeting of the Commissioners of Police, and an important meeting of the Dissciters to consider about removing the Dissenting Academy to this place, by which we were deprived of numbers who would othe.rs have attendei the Anti-Corn-law Meeting ; nevertheless ws? subscribed in the room 2,0001., and I hope by Saturday next w• shall make it 5,000/. We shall invite all other towns to join us, and -by these means we shall raise 20,0001., and so carry the repeal this year, and havo done with it. When does London mean to awaken from its slum bers? I send you annexed our resolutions. You may now be assured we are in earnest. " The subscriptions, amounting to 2,000/, are all in sums of 1001. and 801. each. The Resolutions adopted were as fol lows :-- " This Meeting feeling deeply and solemnly convinced that the Foreign commerce of the country, upon which the welfare of all classes of our manufacturing population depend, is threatened with impending dangers, from which it cannot be preserved unless the duties upon Foreign Corn, and all other articles of food be immediately abolished, " Res,.. - slved—That a subscription be forthwith commenced for the purpose of carrying forward the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law Association in a manner commensurate with the magnitude of the obstacles to be surmounted, and worthy of the vitally important object for which it has been established." This is commencing the contest with spirit, and if it be so followed up, if the other towns follow the example of IVlanchester, if at length slow, dilatory, reluctant London should move in this holy cause, there could be no doubt of success. We should, however, conceal the truth from our readers if we did not bring distinctly before them one great obstacle, which is the true cause of the apparent dilatoriness of the metro polis. At Glasgow, Mr. WEIR said, " Viben on former occasions we moved by petition against the Corn-Nws, our unenfranchised brethren moved along with us. They ace tired out and disgusted—they are hopeless of obtaining until they, too, possess the franchise. They are as hostile as ever to the Corn-laws, but they refuse to petition against them because they believe it to be unavailing. Our array in point of numbers is on this occasion much diminished, as in point of wealth it is increased." From the Scots Times we learn, that at a numerous and respectable meeting held at Glasgow on Tuesday to follow up the resolutions adopted on the previous Wedne sday, a letter from Mr. A. PURDIE was read, proposing a coalition betwixt the new Association and the Univer sal Suffrage Society, and indicating an intention to o ppose the measures of the Association, if the proposal was not accepted. A letter from Leith, which we inserted yesterday, -recommended what may almost be called hole and corner meetings, no doubt from a conviction that the Chartists would endeavour to make every public meet ing respond to their own sentiments. Their leaders have in fact publicly advised the people to attend all Corn.-law meetings, and propose resolutions favourable to Universal Suffrage, and the knowledge that their advice' will be everywhere acted on influences the Abolitionists to ovoid calling public meetings in most places, and certainiy in the metropolis. Heretofore the working classes in our towns were the loudest and most turbulent advocates for the repeal of the Corn laws, by which they are the greatest sufferers ; now they are opposed to such a repeal, unless it be conjoined with a preliminary resolution in favour of Universal Suffrage. So ti r ed i s t h e i r patience, so exasperated are their feelings, so terrible is their hatred of our institutions, so deter mined are they to effect a revolution, that; they resist even an improvement which would increase their com fort and promote their prosperity, because it would make the body of laws—to destroy which all their ener- 744; 410 1, 1 X z I 07. r..; g • e. 4 s' ,•‘ollll' A ' • Zhe gnn. 6 s gies are direcled—less atrocious than at present. They hate and detest the Corn-laws ; but they hate and detest the Aristocracy, which insists on retaining the exclusive power to enact such laws, still more ; and they will ask for no boon at their hands, lest perchance by granting it the Aristocracy should be come less hateful. If the opulent merchants and ma nufacturers cannot succeed by their own exertions against the landlords they will not be supported by the multitude. If their money cannot gain the day, there will be no physical force at their beck to awe their opponents into submission. The same circumstance which indicates a state of feeling in the bulk of the working classes pregnant with danger, will leave the landlords and the Government to be guided solely by those calm and patriotic views of the public good, which they pretend are the exclusive guides of their conduct as Legislators. We hope something from their shame, if nothing from their patriotism. The landlords dare not sit still under the imputation of both plundering and starving the people. The Government, unless it mean to dis card all responsibility, cannot refuse to take some steps to avert the certain ruin of our manufactures. It is, we believe, a prevalent opinion, in high quarters, that the Corn-laws have already received their death-blow, and we hope that Mr. POULETT THOMSON will con sider it his duty to be their executioner. A statement made by him in Parliament, with all the authority of Governmett, supported by documents and facts, confirming, as we are unhappily sure they would, the statements made in the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, would come appropriately from the PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. WC presume that he retains his old convictions, that the Corn-laws should be abolished. Such convictions have by late circumstances been forced on almost every man, not a landlord, and we do not see how he can in that case remain a member of a Government which shall persist in upholding these laws ; and if it do not persist, he will be bound to make to the Parliament, and through it to the country, a calm, clear, and convincing statement of all the facts which have been of late brought to light, and which demonstrate that those laws are as ruinous as they are avowedly iniquitous. If that be done, if the Government be resolved to propose, as it ought, on its own responsibility, to annihilate these laws, and do justice regardless of the clamour of the Squires and the Parsons, its merit will be the greater, and its power to check the Revolutionists will be in creased by not heeding the absence of their demands to do right. We had great pleasure yesterday in recording the triumph of the advocates of scientific improvement over the jobbing monopolists, who tried hard to carry the direction of the Great Western Railway by hook or by crook. The public would have seen how little the strength of the party corresponded with their pretensions, for their numerical force did not amount to a tenth part of shareholders present, norlwould their shares have constituted little more than half the number of votes polled had they not resorted to trickery, which straightforward men would have disdained to stoop to. And what was their real object ? To burke the Great Western Railway altogether, so far as its present direction is concerned—to turn out its talented engineer, Mr. BRUNEL, whose high grasp of mind is quite beyond their scientific comprehension—to as sume the direction themselves—then alter the guage of the Railway, by contracting it to the dimensions of the Grand Junction, thereby putting a stopper upo❑ all future improvement in Railway speed. The wise acres think, or, at least, they wish the public to be lieve, that there can be no further improve ment in Railways—that the Northern Lines are the very perfection of art—that Railway tra velling has already attained its maximum speed, and that it is useless to attempt anything better. The sly jobbers ! Have they no eye to the future —no apprehension that if the plan adopted by Mr. BRUNEL succeed, as succeed it must, in attaining far greater speed, with more safety and less expense— that the public will compel them to alter their Rail way, or suffer the consequence ? Assuredly: and therein rests the whole secret of their self-interested opposition. Talk of carrying an amendment indeed ! —let them go home and amend their own ways, by giving the public convenience a tithe of the considera tion hitherto devoted to their private interests. It has transpired since the meeting of the Great Western Railway, that a singular stratagem had been', resorted to by some of the gentlemen from Liverpool, who supported the amendment, of creating faggot votes, in order to swell their numbers. The mode adopted was to transfer all their shares above 20 into the names of brokers, clerks, and others, in order to obtain a proxy from each of them, with a vote for each share. . We are informed that by this trick, for we cannot give it any other name, they multiplied the proper nuinber of their own bona fide votes from about 530 to 2,650 I I If the Directors, and those Proprietors who voted against the amendment, could have con descended to the same course, the majority would pro bably have been nearly 7,000 instead of 1,647 against the amendment. The calculation, however, of the actual division can be very accurately made, if the statement we have heard be correct, and •f this we entertain no doubt : Votes gained by splitting shares in favour of the — Amendment v 2,120 Majority against the Amendment 1,647 Actual Majority in Votes This may be considered a most conclusive triumph n every way. For the Amendment ...... 6,145 Deduct split Votes Votes for the Amendment should have been 4,025 Votes against the Amendment were 7,792 Thus leaving a Majority of nearly two to one in favour of the Directors 3,767 =7-- Our readers will be amused and instructed by the efforts of the Sergeants-at-Law, as recorded before the Privy Council, to re-establish their monopoly in the Court of Common Pleas. As long as the public leaves any one of such monopolies in existence, it will be the means of extending the whole brood, and in stead of restoring the Sergeants, we hope that the bar will be thrown completely open, and a few Benchers no longer allowed to determine who shall be Barristers. Grandmamma told us yesterday morning that " anx iety and alarm" still prevail in the minds of " the re ligious public" on the subject of a " Sunday delivery" of letters in the metropolis. There is neither anxiety nor alarm any where but in Granny's foolish old noddle, and all the world knows it is not a difficult matter to excite alarm there. Were a delivery of letters in Lon don to commence next Sunday, we believe that it would give all but universal satisfaction to the- community. There may be a pack of fanatics, contemptible enough in numbers, and indeed in every other respect, except the lots ness of the cry which they are always ready to open when common sense is Admitted into the regions of religion, who would clamour against it, and on whom our crack-brained Contemporary is pleasea to confer the title of the " religious public." But of what importance is it what they say or do ? If they are to be listened to, we shall soon see the yoke of Jewish ceremonies and superstitions bound upon the necks of the people; for there is every bit as much authority in the New Testament for circumcision, and The whole of the Paris Journals of Wednesday, have been received. The disturbances at Rochelle, in consequence of the high price of bread, were not ended on the sth, as it was found necessary to march six hundred troops o f th e li ne , a nd some caval r y, with two pieces of cannon , t o prevent a ge nera l rising of the labouring population. In the vi cinity of Rochelle the troops were met by about s i x ty armed peasants w i t h t wo drums and a standard, whom they dispers e d w ithout difficulty. Admiral BAUDIN is ab out to b e r ewarded for hi s services:in the Gulf of Mexico by a Peerage, M, E MANUE L DE LAS C 4sEs , a Member of th a Chamber of Deputies, is ab ou t t o proceed as Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico. A summary of the debate in the Chamber of De puties on the address, will be found in another part of The Sun. How it will end we know not, but the opening has been vague, frivolous, and unsatisfactory. The leaders of the Opposition have their hands tied up by the perpetual presence of their own despotical acts when in office. They dare not pretend to forget them lest they might provoke the indignation of the Cham ber ; and h ence a n attack directed against times and circumstances rather than against measures destructive of the domestic liberties, and foreign influence of France. Madrid Journals of the Ist inst. have reached us, but their contents are unimportant, The British A tn bassador gave a grand ball on New Year's eve, at which nigat Qf the Members of the two Chambers attended. Brussels and German Papers of the latest dates have been received to-day. The former announce that on the 4th instant, the Belgian authorities arrested four Dutch officers, who were hunting on the Belgian ter- all the other rites and observances of the Levitical Law as there is for the Sabbath. Indeed there is much more, because JESUS CHRIST, the Divine founder of our religion, publicly conformed to these rites, while he set us a memorable example of the little value he set on the strict observance of the Sabbath, teaching us, at the same time, in vindicating his con duct from the attacks of the Jewish fanatics, the true principle upon which all positive institutions rest, namely, the public benefit : " the Sabbath," he au thoritatively declared " was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." We do not mean to say that there are not many cogent reasons for a periodical cessation of labour—which, by the bye, was the sole purpose of the Sabbatical institution—and a periodical perform ance of religious duties. Far from it ; but we con tend that those reasons are not derived either from the Mosaic law, or from any injunction laid upon Christians by JESUS CHRIST or his Apostles, to whom alone Protestants are accustomed to look for direction in important matters of religion. All that we learn from the New Testament is that some of the early Christians used to meet and sing a hymn on the " Lord's day," but that persons in the situation in which they were —many of them being slaves, and almost all of them belonging to the class of day labourers—did, or could, devote one whole day in seven to religious exercises is altogether inconceivable. Let the observance of Sunday then be placed on its true footing, and let those hypocrites who are continually canting about the " desecration" of that day, show us when it was " consecrated." If they advocated the keeping holy the seventh day of the week, as the sect called Sabbatarians do, they would at least have the authority of the Old Testament in their favour ; but as they do not do this, and yet claim the Divine sanc tion for the sanctification of another day, it is incum bent upon them to produce proof from the Scriptures that that other day has been substituted for the original one, and that too by Divine authority. Nothing short of this will do. The Clamour with which the proposal to deliver letters on Sunday in the metropolis has been met by the disciples of Sir ANDREW AGNEW, would have been utterly disgraceful to persons of any other descrip tion. What one argument, or shadow of argument, have they been able to bring forward against it ? Is it argument to say that there will, in such case, be no difference between Sunday and any other day in the week ? Is it even the shadow of argument to allege that religion will soon disappear from the capital if people are allowed to receive their letters every day ? Nothing can be more absurd than such pretences. Is there a post town in England in which letters are not received on Sunday ? Not one—yet there is no falling off in religion ; we hear of no complaints about " counting-houses being opened and clerks placed at their desks" on that day. Where then is the reason for anticipating such a result in London ? Scotland, too—religious Scotland—has, from the first establish ment of a post-office, had a Sunday delivery of letters. Has it destroyed the religious character of the people ? No. The people of Edinburgh, of Glasgow, and of every other town in that part of the kingdom, have proved that no interruption in the performance of reli gious duties, and no " desecration" of the Lord's day have taken place in consequence of this eminently con venient and judicious arrangement. And so will it be in London when the Sunday delivery is introduced there, as we hope it soon will be, in spite of the united clamour of faction and bigotry. The Moniteur of Wednesday announces the me lancholy death of the Duchess of WURTEMBERG (Princess MARY of Orleans)---an event which has plunged the Royal Family of F rance i nto t h e d eepest grief. This amiable and highly accomplished Princess expired at Pisa, on the morning of the 2d inst., in the arms of her husband, and her brother the Duke de NEMOURS. The rare accomplishments of the Prin cess MARY, conjoined with the simplicity of her man ners, the benevolence of her disposition, and the purity of her conduct and heart, had especially endeared her to theaffections of the French people. The statue of JOAN D'ARC, the Maid of Orleans, executed by this Prin cess, and another of CHARLOTTE CORDAY, which has not yet been exhibited, are lasting memorials of her abilities as a sculptor. Her taste in whatever re lated to the Fine Arts, was exquisite ; nor was her patronage of struggling merit less enthusiastic than her admiration of works realizing her ideas of the highest excellence. As her nervous system was re markably sensitive, the frequent attacks made upon the life of her Royal father gave her a shock from which she never entirely recovered. After the failure of A LIBAUD'S attempt which so manifested the determination of a numerous body of conspirators never to desist while the KING lived, she was so affected with phantoms, conjured up by her imagina tion on the slightest noise, that the KING was fre quently obliged to visit her in the night to assure her of his personal safety. On her marriage with Duke ALEXANDER of Wurtemberg her health improved, and it was fondly hoped by the Royal Family that a long and happy life awaited her. Early in July last she gave birth to a Prince, but in a few days afterwards she caught a cold which brought on the con sumption to which he has fallen an early and lamented victim. The physicians recommended the air of Italy, and her Royal Highness, accompanied by her husband, proceeded first to Genoa, and subsequently to Pisa, where she expired. She was only twenty five years of age, having been born at Palermo in April 1813. Immediately after the death of the Duchess, her husband with the infant Prince set out for France. The Duke of NEMOURS remained to be present at a solemn high mass for the repose of the soul of his sister, and in company with Count DE RUNIINNY, the French Ambassador at the Court of Sardinia, to superintend the removal of her remains to Dreux—the burying place of the House of Orleans. When the death of the Duchess was announced in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, the whole assembly, consisting of 400 members rose, and in a body, preceded by their President, went and offered an address of condolence to the KING. Hi s MAJESTY appeared greatly affected by so spontane ous an expression of cordial sympathy on the part of this branch of the Legislature. It was France con doling with him and his family. The Duchess of WURTEMBERG will be long remembered with affec tion and regret by a nation proud of her accomplish. ments, her genius, and her virtues, which required neither high birth nor exalted rank to place their pos sessor in a position which many Princesses would be proud to occupy. ritory, near Hozegras, and conveyed th,,ni to iirtres. No further particulars are mentioned. Cargoes of corn from the Black S , a continue to arrive at Antwerp, to he re-shipped for England, when our people have reached the legal starvation point. The King of HANOVER has abolished the Cham ber of Domains of 1833, and established another, which is not to be subject to the cognizance of any body in the State save the SOVEREIGN.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Lord Chan cellor, after entertaining the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel at breakfast, proceeded in State, accom panied by the Judges, to Westminster, to open the Courts. His Lordship took his seat shortly before two o'clock, at tended by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice- Chancellor, and Masters Wingfield and Farrar. The Court proceeded to hear motions. DAY.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor took his seat at West minster-hall at two o'clock, and proceeded to hear motions, none of which possessed any point of public interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the ROLLS took his seat at Westminster RI a quarter before two o'clock. ♦TTORNLY-GENERAL V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Mr. PEMBERTON said that in this case the in'ormation was filed by the Reverend John ilillyard and others against the Great Western Railway Company, and he was to move for an injunction to restrain the defendants from issuing a precept to the Sheriff to summon a Jury in order to assess damages. The defendants appeared, and desired the mo! ion should stand over till the next Seal (the 17th), which he ( Mr. Pemberton) consented to upon the defendants undertak ing to stay all proceedings. Mr. KIVDER;LEY, for the defendants, gave the undertaking, and the order was made accordingly. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Court was opened at twenty minutes to two o'clock, with the usual for malities. The Judges presiding were Lord Denman, and Justices Littledalc, Williams, and Coleridge. THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF SWANSEA The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding the Corporation to proceed to the election of eight councillors for that borough. The non-election arose out of the circum stances of the proper number of assessors for each ward not having been appointed. The Learned Gentleman having stated the facts of the case, the Court granted the rule. THE QUEEN V. VIRIER. Mr. Sergeant STEPHENS in this case, which was an indict ment for forgery, moved the Court in arrest of judgment. The proceedings originated in evidence given by the defen dant, Sarah Virier, before a Parliamentary Committee ap pciuted to try the validity of the return for the city of Bristol. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the facts of the case, which were fully detailed in our report of the trial on the 25th ult. Lord DENMAN inquired upon what grounds he moved ? Mr. Sergeant STEPHENS —On the ground that the verdict was imperfect, and also on the ground that the indictment was improperly framed. _ _ Lord . D . ENIIAN-Because I have had an application from the parties to amend the verdict on the nos/ea, and I am to see them to-morrow. If it depended upon that it would be better therefore to wait for the result of the application. After some discussion between the Bench and the Learned Counsel the application was postponed. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) The Honourable Sir Tho ma s Erskine appeared upon the Bench for the first time after his appointment to the vacant Judgeship. GIBSON V. EAST INDIA COMPANY. Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL gave judgment in this case, (argued last Term). The question was, whether the East India Company could by action at law be compelled to pay pensions agreed to by resolution of the Board of Directors. The Court ruled that they could not. The plaintiffs sued the Company for the arrears of pension, which the Board had resolved to pay him. The Court said the Company were bound morally, but not legally, by the resolution, and directed a nonsuit. GUILDHALL.--(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY AT THE BELL TAVEKN, FLEET- STREET.— Thomas Watson, a respectable-looking person, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE, under the following circumstances:-- The prisoner, who had slept at the Bell Tavern a night or two, last night retired to bed about nine o'clock, and about an hour afterwards the chambermaid saw his room door open, and thinking something was wrong, she sent the waiter up to the room, who then ascertained that the door was locked. With some difficulty he succeeded in inducing the prisoner to open the door, and, after a short search, found a watch, several coins, &c., secreted under the bed, which had been taken from a box belonging to the chambermaid, which was safe in the attic about three o'clock. The prisoner, who denied the charge, said that he was a draper, and had been in the employ of several respectable persons at Liverpool. _ Sir. P. LAualE - thought he had no course to pursuo but to commit the prisoner. The prisoner remarked that the witnesses had not yet been sworn. Sir P. LAURIE thought that a rather curious observation, and one that was not likely to come from a person, unless he was used to this business. The prisoner assured his Lordship that he was mistaken. Sir P. LAURIE hoped it would prove to be the case; and in the mean time directed the depositions to be taken. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY DEAL, JAN. 10.—Wind W. S.

CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received a New Brunswick Paper of December 8, from which we copy the following : " The official Gazette contains numerous orders respecting the Militia ; 12 battalions are incorporated for six months' service, and various regiments of Militia are called out into active service throughout the province. The companies will be stationed on Wolfe Island for six months ; several com panies are stationed at Belville ; others at Brockville, Bryton, Whitby, Niagara, and along the whole frontier. We should suppose that the whole number cannot be less than 10,000 under arms ; the whole supported by a strong force of artil lery, and all munitions of war in profusion, commanded every where by the most skilful officers." The Toronto Papers say that the Americans in Kingston are leaving by squads.—Kingston Herald. (From the Fredericton Sentinel.) Some reports having been circulated that a sum of money, voted by the Legislature to the men who did garrison duty last winter, had been misapplied by the officers, and that disappointment had been expressed at the Lieut.- Governor's not inspecting the militia training, his Excellency promptly ordered the militia of Fredericton to assemble on Wednesday last, and arrived on the ground about two o'clock. His Ex cellency expressed his surprise and concern on learning that a disinclination existed on the present occasion; the troops being about to be withdrawn, he said he had instituted an in quiry, and was happy to find the men had been misled, and the officers in command of companies would explain the man ner in which the money had been appropriated. During his address, and at the conclusion, three hearty cheers were given, and after the Lieut.-Governor quitted the ground Col. Min chen entered into explanation with them.
