It will have been seen in our columns of yesterday that there is a probability of the Archbishop of Canter. bury assembling the rest of the Prelates to take their sense of the best method for allaying the unhappy dß'• ferences by which the Church of England is at present distracted. This is a remedy that has long and ear nestly been recommended by the lovers of peace, and many sincere friends of the Church no doubt look upon it as a pancea. They depend upon the credit and moral weight of episcopal character and authority to close the wounds of the bleeding Church, to restrain the ;e al for uniformity which does but engender smite and to restore peace, if not unanimity, both amongst the clergy and laity. Those who reason in this way conceive ti et a body of such distinction and powers in ecclesiastical concerns will meet with every token of reverence and submission from their clergy, and that their decision will be held sufficiently binding to obtain the full assent of the people et large. They do not imagine such a contingency as disagreement in their councils or opposi tion in their persons ; and they wish to realise in their mind's eye the picture of a venerable synod of spiri tual overseers met together of one accord, all of on e mind and sentiment, caring and seeking for nothing but the grand object of advancing the true interests of religion, and the unity and welfare of the Church, And this they think the last hope and resource of our Church under her present trouble and affliction ; this they think will avail to bring back her scattered congregations, and reunite the pastor with his grieved and offended parishioners. 'Wu take leave to differ from those who have embraced such an opinion. We do not see how the Bench of Bishops, constituted and com posed as it is, can by any train of argument be brought to view the disunion of the Church with similar eyes or under the same aspect. It does not rest with all the Bishops now to deliver their sentiments concerning these points of rubrical controversy. There are some who have already decided, and who cannot gracefully or con sistently retract what they have published and enjoined. There are some who may be wavering as to what is best to be done, and who have not yet committed themselves in any way, who Hill probably hesitate in sanctioning any further question into the manner of explaing or en forcing the rubric. The difficulties of such a meeting of the Bishops are very great upon the face of them ; these difficulties will certainly multiply themselves fifty-fold as the deliberation proceeds ; nor can we really expect from their discussions any bnefits commensurate with the anticipations of those who advocate and call for it. Will it not, then, be far more injurious to the cause of religion and the Church if from this assemblage no una nimous vote can be obtained, no certain rule established, no positive injunction framed, no permanent arrange ment effected, to satisfy both clergy and laity ? It will be, we apprehend, infinitely distressing to those high dignitaries, and mark their proceedings with something very like ridicule, if, after ostentatiously weighing these disputes in the balance of their united, or, at any rate, assembled, wisdom, they come to no conclusion, an d separate without a decision on either side. No one can doubt that there is a risk—a danger of such an event. To us there is no doubt at all. We believe it to be out of all bounds of probability, and almost impos?ible, that they should agree together touching these diversities of ritual and discipline. We feel sincerely persuaded that they would differ widely on the main founda tion of the whole question, and that; instead of dis covering a remedy, they would depart without having any specific proposal introduced. Under these convic tions, we must deprecate such a meeting. We cannot hope to find peace amid such conflicting elements. We do not quite apprehend, moreover, that it will be put to the trial; and, if it be, we are sure that the Archbishop has been driven to the expedient by the urgent clamours of those who see in it, Kith a capacity of prescience quite supernatural, sonic satisfactory issue to our quarrels and dissensions. We trust his Grace win. not despise our advice, and that lie will ponder well on the probable results of the undertaking before he sets his hand to any such experiment. Again and again, fresh a ith every day's post, the signs of the coming tempest thicken upon us. The laity seem at length resolved to act indepen dently, and require of their pastors what they feel they have some right to assert for themselves. A largely printed handbill calls upon the people of Plymouth, with strong and vehement phrases, to " assemble immedi eisps,a‘nlrteapdeyr.tiine ately" to resist what they have not scrupled to call this " tyranny over God's heritage," by appealing, if neces sary, to the• Parliament and the Queen. - Another set of most unequivocal resolutions have been passed unani sav'llipthartisne? muusly in the precinct rof all,t 1 whatis of tumultuous aQuncy e an d eit meli t yllu ' e o aitadru r dsci d eoitht: , ::: i c: n retgdhmA E ooiesro x tspsgto e oth t rst e eadi ihfrnaeei. far to , ointcooro.

And this was done, be it remembered, from no parsimonious or illiberal feeling to the Church generally —not because the rector of the parish was considered to belong to the innovating party in the Church—it was not assumed that he did—no one accused him of it— but because, according to the aspect of things, there is no security that can be given, no precaution that can prevent the church about to be built falling into such hands. Thus, in the very heart of the City, and in the Common Council, this vote for a church in the parish of St. Giles was virtually negatived from the fear en tertained of the spread of those principles against which the laity are so resolutely combining ; and thi s even when a Dissenter pleaded for it ! Upon such a startling fact as the refusal of this grant by such an assembly, and in such a place, we anxiously entreat all degrees of our clergy to reflect seriously and solemnly. Is our Church, we would ask them, still to flourish, the pride and strength of our land ; or are her congrega tions to be dispersed, her temples to become dilapidated, her services to be deserted, her friends to be alienated and disgusted, from the perverse and wanton intrusion of ceremonies and observances which, displeasing as they are to the people, answer no one corresponding end, and are carrying division and destruction into the very bosom of our Church ? Let those of the clergy who would answer this question to their conscience, dismissing party spirit and factious strife, seeking peace indeed, and studying the good of their people, consider how they may best guide themselves in such trying and calami tous times. Let them remember that, whatever mischief may ensue from the introduction of these novelties, they who have given the provocation must be answerable for its consequences ; and let them not, in the vain attempt to bend the wills of their congregations to a yoke which their forefathers refused, incur the odium of disturbing the harmony of families, violating the peace of parishes, and throwing the whole Church into confusion. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WESTMINSTER. - This morning, between the hours of twelve and one, the ut most alarm prevailed in the neighbourhood of West minster, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a most rapid fire in a carpenter's workshop, belonging to a Mr. Wardle, situate in Chapel-place, immediately opposite the Bluecoat School. The first discovery was made by one of the neighbours through seeing sparks and smoke mounting over the roof of the building. An instant alarm was raised, and the inmates of the adjoining houses were aroused from their slumbers. From the premises containing a large quantity of shavings, wood, and other equally inflammable articles, not many minutes elapsed , before the fire had gained possession of ev er y p or ti on o f the building. A family, who resided in the lower floor, had barely time to escape. The numerous brigade en gines were as quickly as possible at the scene of confla gration, together with the West of England and County ' office engines. The Chelsea Waters orks afforded the firemen an immediate and abundant supply of water, from which they set to work most vigorously. and in the course of half an hour all danger of the further r rogress of the fire was at an end, and before two - o'clock the flames were completely extinguished; not, however, until the building with its contents was almost consumed. The occupier of the premises being out at the time of the disaster, we were unable to ascertain whether or not he was insured. The origin of the outbreak is unknown. A vast number of the inhabitants who threw their goods into the open street for protection will be serious losers by hasty removal, and unfortunately they were all unin sured. BRADFORD.—HIGH CKURCII FREARS.—A circum stance has just occurred here which has excited a good deal of interest. The Rev. J. 11. Bradney, who has officiated gratuitously for the last three years at the New Church, has just terminated his labours, to the great regret of his parishioners, by whom he is much be loved. The Rev. Mr. Erie, who is appointed curate, a very young man, has succeeded him, and in his first sermon after full ordination, carried out his now fully developed Christian sentiments by dealing damnation to all Dissenters. On the afternoon of the same day, the Rev. J. H. Bradney took occasion to deprecate the tone and temper adopted by the curate in the morning, stating that he looked on all men as brethren, and on Dissenters, if good men, in quite as favourable a light as Churchmen. We hear that the Bishop sent for both sermons, and that, to the surprise of all well-thinking men, he intimated, through the vicar, to 3.1 r. Bradney, that if he did not change his opinions as to Dissenters, he must leave the Church ! His farewell sermon was preached last Sunday, before a crowded audience, who were much affected by the thoughts of losing their loved and respected past.r. The address made a deep impression, and will long be remembered by all who heard it. We are rejoiced to hear that Mr. Bradney, although he has ceased to officiate at the New Church, intends to remain among us, and to act, as heretofore, in his magisterial capacity.—From a Correspondent of the Inltshire Independent.

RICHMOND and WEST-END JUNCTION RAILWAY. . A paragraph having appeared in some of the Railway journals, and copied into the Morning Papers, to the effect that the plans, &c., of the projected Richmond Railway were not lodged with the Board of Trade till after the 30th November last, the Committee beg to state to their Subscribers and the Public that there is no foundation whatever for the above statement with regard to this railway. The Plans, Sections, and Books of Reference, of the projected Line, were duly prepared and deposited, in a very perfect state, within the period required by, and in compliance with, the stand. ing orders of Parliament. The Committee avail themselves of this opportunity to correct an erroneous impression which prevails that any shares remain still to be appropriated, the whole of the capital required having been long since subscribed for, and the deposits paid upon the same.

He wai glad that Mr. Bennett and Mr. Alnatt had spoken out their sentiments as they did, for he was an advocate f o r every man speaking out his opi nions. —(Hear, hear.) But if Mr. Bennett had read the paragraph in the report to which he referred, he would find that what was said'whs that British agriculture had everything to hope and nothing to fear from inquiry. —(Hear, hear.) With regard to the Canada Corn Bill, if he found upon in quiry that it would be conducive to the interests of British agriculture to have it repealed, he would make a motion to that effect. But he would not make any pledge till after a full and deliberate in quiry into the subject. He and his Noble Friend near him had opposed that Bill at every stage, for he was afraid, that when they could not prevent frauds taking place in their own Custom-house, they would not be able to do so in Canada, and that American flour would be smuggled in there.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN thought -that nothing but unmixed good would follow from every member of the Society speaking out his sentiments. They were all agreed as to the necessity of protecting agriculture; but of course there must be various opinions as to the means by which it could be best afforded, and the ex tent to which it should go. Looking at the spirit which characterised the proposition which had been put forward that day, and at the concord which pre vailed, he could not but rejoice, and give his unqua lified support to this cause.—(Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. F. WoonwAnn, Mr. NEWDEGATE said he was glad the tenant farmers had spoken out as they had done, but he, as a landlord, would say for himself, that he most deeply deplored the wretched condition of the tenant farmers. The spirit and activity which the landlords manifested in the different societies to which they belonged, showed that they were not indifferent to the condition of the tenant-farmers. With regard to the allusion which had been made to the Anti-Corn law League, he saw that Mr. Villiers had said its ghost would haunt them, but it was like the ghost in Hamlet, who worked underground ; for he knew that they were secretly corrupting the constituencies of the kingdom.—(Cheers.) Mr. MILES said that he knew the tenant-farmers were enduring the utmost possible distress, and he only wished that they had had more support from the agriculturists when the Canada Corn Bill was passing through Parliament. The Duke of CLEVELAND then proposed a rote of thanks to the Noble Chairman, which was carried ; after which the meeting adjourned till the 3d of February, when the dinner of the Society is to take place. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MPORTANT MEETING OF THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. LIVERPOOL WEDNESDAY EVENING.—At the special meeting of the Grand Junction Company, held here to-day, the chair was taken by JonN Moss, Esq., who addressed the meeting nearly as follows :-13efore desiring Captain lluish to read the Directors' report to you, I will beg leave to occupy a few moments of your time ; first, for the purpose of stating that the London and Birmingham Board having, since this meeting was called, proposed an interview between deputations from their Board and ours, that meeting took place yesterday ; and although we are not in a condition to report to you that anything has been done, yet, in conformity with their suggestion, it is our intention to propose to you an adjournment of this meeting till the 30th instant, without (unless required by you) entering at all upon the second important subject on which we called you together. I trust that you will agree with us that, as matters now stand, any discussion would be inex• pedient. Having said thus much on behalf of the Board, I desire to avail myself of this, the first convenient opportunity, of making one or two remarks on a matter concerning me personally. You are all, doubtless, aware of the statement made by the Chairman of the London and Birmingham Company, at their late meeting, as to a correspondence between him and myself, and of the published resolutions of our Board thereupon, and of the London and Bir mingham Board's reply, which has just appeared. It appears by that reply "that the London and Bir ming Directors are content to leave the question where it now stands" And, under these circum stances, I am sure the Grand Junction may be con tent also, and I am greatly rejoiced to be able thus summarily to dispose, I hope for ever, of so painful a matter. The only thing remaining for me is to ex press my regret at the construction put by Mr. Glyn on my letters, that I was indisposed to admit that I had received a letter from him on the 19th of August, unless he would consent to have our private corre spondence published ; in this he certainly misunder stood me. In answer to his request of the 9th of November, when he enclosed me a copy of his note of the 19th of August, I wrote by return of post in the following words:— " I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant. " Certainly I should in all cases be not only ready, but most anxious to correct an erroneous impression caused to the prejudice or the annoyance of yourself, or any other gentleman, by any act to which I had been a party ; but, after reading your letter and its enclosures, I must candidly say that they leave me nothing to explain, aKd that I am, after a perusal of them, more and more satisfied of the perfect accuracy of our published statement. " Though I cannot now doubt that I received this note, I cannot lay my hands on it ; and I do not at all wonder at this, because it appears that it was a private note, marked private,' and you had before hand formally apprised me that no such notes were to be considered as from your Board, or even from you as Chairman ; its contents, therefore, and even the fact of its receipt, had escaped my recollection." And I added " You are at liberty to publish this correspondence, and all the rest, from beginning to end, both official and private ; for you cannot be more anxious than I am to have everything connected with this case, and all the others, fully known and sifted." And again, in the very last letter I wrote him— namely, on the 25th of November—l endeavoured to make more plain my reasons for declining to make the mere dry admission that I had received a par ticular letter, by saying : " I cannot be a party to contradict the published statement of the Grand Junction Directors, the truth of that statement remaining to this hour untouched ; and the question not being at all whether a letter of a particular date was ever received by us, but whether a letter of a particular purport." I will only add that I regret that Mr. Glyn misun derstood these letters, for I admit that he was entitled to have it made clear that he had written to me a letter on the day he said he had, if he thought that material under the circumstances, and it was always my intention (however our differences with his Board might have stood at this meeting) to have availed myself of this public opportunity of stating that he had done himself, as well as me, injustice, by supposing that I was unwilling to admit that he had so written. I can safely say, for myself and my bro. ther Directors, that we have been most desirous to be on the best possible terms with the London and Bir mingham Directors, and particularly with the Chair man, knowing the importance it is to both our con cerns. I sincerely trust nothing has occurred to prevent us being so hereafter. I would say more did I not feel that the two Boards and the Proprietors must wish to see what has passed buried in oblivion. These being my sincere feelings, you will not expect me to take up your time by any lengthened remarks upon the London and Birmingham's construction of our July agreement ; but I am unwilling, occupying the posi tion I have the honour to occupy, to allow any oppor tunity to pass without expressing my most entire and unqualified dissent from such a construction of such an agreement. I am not sorry, however, for the opportunity afforded me by this, I may truly say, forced expression of my feelings, of referring to an instance in which the view I conceived it my duty to take of an agreement entered into for " mutual de fence" has left me fora long time back under the imputation of a want of foresight in not purchasing for the Grand Junction Company the Chester and Birkenhead Railway—an imputation which has re cently been often repeated to my prejudice, and which, on that account, I am sure you will excuse my taking this opportunity of trying to remove. Now, what are the facts ? The Grand Junction Company entered, some years ago, into an agreement with the Liverpool and Manchester Company, involving stipu lations for mutual defence, and for the promotion of each other's fair interests. The Chester and Birken head Railway was more than once offered to me on very low terms, such as made me feel anxious to pur chase it. I considered such a purchase, without the consent of the Liverpool and Manchester Company, would be inconsistent with the spirit, if not the let ter, of our . agreement with them. They declined to ' consent even to our using the line , feeling that the result would be the abstraction of traffic which other wise would pass over the Liverpool and Manchester Railway ; and, therefore, I gave up all idea of the negotiation, and have had ever since to bear the blame of not making, when I had an opportunity, a good arrangement for the Grand Junction Company. I will now ask Captain Huish to read the Directors' report as to the important arrangement with the Li verpool and Manchester Company. Mr. Moss was much applauded at the conclusion of his address. Captain Iluisu then read the report of the Direc tors, which was to the effect, that They had recently concluded a conditional agree ment with the Directors of the Liverpool and Man chester Company for art amalgamation of the under takings. A joint Committee of the two Boards was appointed to consider the terms of the amalgamation, and they came to a decision which received the unanimous opproval of both Boards. The Liverpool and Manchester Company having already created new 401. shares this year, to extinguish their debt, and the Grand Junction Company having issued new 121.105. shares, to meet their subscription to the Lancaster and Carlisle Company, it has been arranged that each holder of a Grand Junction 1001. share, or other stock equivalent in amount, shall have a new 251. share, and that being done, that the whole shall be consoli dated on equal terms in one capital stock (instead of shares) under clauses in the Bill for which, with the concurrence of the trustees, the Directors intended to apply in the ensuing session of Parliament. The Proprietors were probably aware that the Liver pool and Manchester Company have already agreed on terms for the amalgamation of the North Union Rail way, including the Bolton and Preston line, with their undertaking; and the Directors had no hesitation in stating their opinion, that, by the union of the varied interests now about to be combined, important ad vantages would be secured. The necessity for ob taining increased accommodation in Liverpool, with out being dependent on another company, had long pressed seriously on the attention of the Board, and it had become desirable to shorten the distance to Bir mingham, by avoiding the bend round by Newton. The first of these objects will be secured without the necessity for a further destruction of expensive pro perty, by the formation of a new line for a traffic that may be accommodated by the existing one; and the attainment of the second will now be facilitated by the united exertions and influence of the companies." The report concluded by stating that the various pre liminary measures had been taken to obtain legisla tive sanction to the branch lines to Shrewsbury and the Potteries, and the line from Stafford, through the Trent Valley, to Rugby. Mr. Moss then proposed a resolution, confirming the preliminary agreement between the companies, and authorising the Directors to apply for an Act of amalgamation. Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, the Deputy Chair man of the Board, seconded it; and it was carried unanimously. Mr. LEWIN Mozciav then addressed the meeting, congratulating the Company on the settlement of dif ferences. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then pre posed by Mr. E. Mozley, who remarked on the high character and integrity of Mr. Glyn, Chairman of the London and Birmingham board. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said he quite concurred with Mr. M oz l e y, th a t nothing could be further from the intention of the Grand Junction Board than to cast the slightest reflection on Mr. Glyn's personal honour.—(llear, hear.) The depu tations had met the day before, and, without stating with certainty what the result would be, he enter tained a sincere hope that they should be able to bring the differences to an end; at all events, he should do the best he could to bring about a satis factory termination.—(Hear, and cheers.) He could not omit the opportunity to state that to the activity of Mr. Mozley, in bringing about the meeting, the Directors were very much indebted. It was due to both the Mr. Mozleys to say that they had been very serviceable in allaying Mr. Glyn's feelings.—(Hear.) It was here stated by Captain Hui3h that some 360 Proprietors had as yet neglected to arrange about their new eighth shares, and that they had better not delay it any longer, for that they were subject to forfeiture. The CHAIRMAN expressed an opinion that such *hares had better be sold on the Ist of January, and accounted for to the Proprietors. The meeting, which was a highly satisfactory one, then dispersed. DINNER TO SIR H. POTTINGER IN BELFAST. We notice that the Mayor has called a town meet ing for to-morrow, upon a most respectable requisi tion, for the purpose of inviting Sir Henry Pottinger to a public entertainment, upon the occasion of his expected visit to this country, and to this, his nativo town. We almost think that this tribute of respect to the most eminent living character connected with Belfast has been too long delayed. It would not have seemed unbecoming if the merchants of this town had been the first to honour a diplomatist who accomplished a task that had baffled the skill of all former nego tiators with the Chinese empire, and had opened the trade and commerce of one-third of the world to the mereantile classes of Europe and America. Sir Henry Pottinger has, indeed, succeeded in breaking down the greatest Chinese wall—which, formed by the prejudices of that peculiar people, pro mised to be more lasting than the granite bulwark of their territories, and which was certainly more effectual in resisting the progress a civilisation than the material erection in opposing the arms of in vaders. There are good reasons to anticipate, from the success of his negotiations, the gradual intro duction of European habits and European teachers amongst the Chinese people. It is not easy to foresee the commercial results that may follow to Eastern Asia from the increased activity of this most industrious and numerous race; while political consequences of great importance will undoubtedly follow their more intimate connexion with Europeans; and we may hope that the oppor tunities secured from our possession of Hong-Kong, for instructing the native Chinese in the truth of the Christian religion, will not be long neglected. It is a singular fact that the Commander of the Forces in the expedition against the Chinese, Sir 11. Gough—who is now Commander of the Forces in India—is, like Sir Henry Pottinger—and, we believe, his successor also, on the Chinese station—an Irish man. The distinguished part that Irish officers have borne in our Eastern Empire is the best answer that can be afforded to that party who are perpetually complaining of the neglect of Irish merit. Without referring to the Marquis of Wellesley, and the con queror of Seringapatam, we might mention that Lord Keane, the commander of the first Affghan expedition,- and the late Sir William Macnaghten, were both Irishmen ; while, amongst the principal negotiators from the British Government with China, Lord Macartney, like Sir Henry Pottinger, was a native of this neighbourhood.—Banner of Ulster. PRICE OF SUGAR. The Average Price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, for the week ending Dec. 10, 1844, is 295. 10d. per cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the im portation thereof into Great Briton, AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY. A meeting of the Agricultural Protection Society took place yesterday, at Old Bond-street. There were about forty persons present. Besides the .\ oble Chairman, the Duke of Richmond, and the Duke of Cleveland, we noticed, amongst others, Mr. W. Miles, M.P., Mr. P. Pusey, M.P., Mr. Stafford O'Brien, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.P., Mr. Allix, M.P., Mr. Blackstone, M.P., Mr. Colvile, M.P., Mr. W. IL Beresford, M.P., Mr. Hodgson Barrow, Mr. Emery, &c. His Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, on taking the chair, said, that as this was the general meeting of the Central Society for the Protection of Agriculture, the Committee of the Society, being anxious to see as many members of the local societies as could con We niently attend, present, in order that they might circu late amongst the local societies what they had been doing,. the main business of the day would be the report of the Committee to whom the Society had confided the management of its affairs, and he would therefore call on Mr. Miles to read the report. Mr. Mtees, M.P., then read the report, which stated what the Society had been doing since the close of the last session of Parliament. They had c b i e r e clted 30,000 n u p a utforthßt o th c o pies of close of the h o address lastsess w io •hch had oiof Par liament, which was considered to be satisfactory. The friends of protection to British agriculture in Parliament had watched over those measures which came under the consideration of the Legislature during the last session, and more particularly to the subject of the repeal of the wool duties, and to the Bank Charter Bill. The former Bill they considered to be favourable to the British agriculturist, and all the modifications made respecting the country banks in the latter Bill had been favourable to the agriculturists. The report went on to say that British agriculture had every thing to hope, and nothing to fear from, the most minute inquiry—that the Anti-Corn-law League had ceased to send about their itinerant lecturers, and were now become a registration club, a ground where the regulations of the Protection Society would pre vent them from opposing them. The report went on to say that it was believed large importations of flour had taken place under the Canada Corn Bill, and that an inquiry should take place upon that subject, which would be brought under consideration at the next general meeting, which would be held on the 14th January. Mr. EMERY proposed the adoption of the report, which, being seconded, was carried unanimously. Mr. ALNATT said that he did not wish to interrupt the harmony of the meeting, but before it broke up he wished to say a few words on the present state of the British farmer. He thought that this Society, and the other societies, ought to be more energetic, and meet the Anti-Corn-law League, wherever they went, to counteract the impression which their fallacies and sophistries were producing. He thought they ought to procure clever men to re but their arguments at every point.—(Hear.) He would give a challenge to the League to meet and discuss the matter in the town of Manchester, where they had more friends than they expected. He was an agriculturist himself, and he stood there re presenting the opinions of a great number of farmers. He would say, as such, that the poorer farmers were in a most wretched condition, and they could not be in such a condition without bringing down ruin on the agricultural labourer. He would propose, in order to remedy such a state of things, that their case should be brought before Parliament, with a view to alter the laws which brought about 'such a state of things. If the tenant-farmers had that spirit which he knew them to possess, those laws would and should be altered.—(Cheers.) •Sir R. Peel had declared in the House of Commons that they were come to that point at which they must depend on themselves; but the result of his measure showed that total ruin would • fall on the agriculturists ofEngland if Parliament perse vered in such a course.—(Cheers.) He thought that the landlords should make themselves better ac quainted with the condition of the tenant-farmers, and, if they knew their distress, he was sure they would not allow such ruinous measures to be adopted. Mr. BENNETT said there was one part of the report to which he could not give his assent—he meant that portion of it in which it was said that agriculture had everything to hope and nothing to fear. He was of opinion that protection to British agriculture was necessary for the British farmer. Ile feared that further protection was not to be expected tinder the present circumstances of the country ; but he thought that the working of the Canadian Bill should be in- Inked into.—(Bear, hear.) He begged of Noble Dukes and Noble Lords to consider how the burdens on the land were to be paid if the farmers did not obtain a remunerating price for their produce. Either better prices must be maintained to enable the farmer to pay the burden on land, or taxation must be more equitably distributed. Ile was sure that where he paid 158. the manufacturer did not pay ss. —(Hear, hear.) He did not wish that they should appear disunited,. but he wished that the words of the report to which he alluded should be struck out. The Noble CHAIRMAN said that he was sure the landlords of England generally felt most deeply the condition of the agriculturists, not only on account of the good feeling which . they had for the tenantry of the country, but because their interests were one and the same.—(Hear, hear.) if the small farmer of 100 acres broke down, the fernier of 600 acres would THE MATHEW TESTIMONIAL. We said in our last that the testimonial was a job. We are now able to prove our words. The amount collected was 2,118/. ; the expenses were 968/. Bs.; and the balance now on hand is 1,150/. The whole concern has been wound up, the accounts audited, and the names of auditors, secretary, and chairman ap pended. There is no mistake about the thing—the expenses for collecting in or keeping a sum little over 2,0001. amounted to a sum little less than 1,000/. ! This was being economical with a vengeance. This was to he the enduring testimonial, that was to last till the day of judgment, a monument of a people's gratitude to a great benefactor ! Endu ring ! only think of it I—an enduring testimonial ! If half of the whole endured but two years, in how many years would the whole be dissolved? Here is a sum to work for the Committee of the testimonial, which in future must be designated the " Dissolving Testimonial." That was a valuable Committee—a Committee to be remembered with pleasure, anti to be again sought for when a national benefactor is to be complimented, or a flagrant job created. Is it not a job ? To our mind, it is one of the vilest upon record. It is a culpable, shameless squandering of the public funds—an unjust wasting of money properly belonging to an individual. And yet, we saw it somewhere insinuated that Fathew Mathew was culpable in not placing his affairs, and his difficulties, even himself, at the disposal of a Committee—the "Dissolving Testimonial" Com mittee, of course. If Father Mathew did so, we should write him down demented—mad as a March hare. If the nation bestowed 10,0001. upon Father Mathew, the Committee would melt down half that sum in the collection. That would be deli g htful. Suppose a sum of 7,000/.—the amount of Father Ma thew's liabilities—were collected, that that sum were the limit of the funds subscribed by the nation, and that no more could be, by any possibility, collected— suppose also that this. 7,0001. were entrusted to the dissolving Committee, what then would be the result ? Simply this, that Father Mathew would have an " en- HIE FINEST WAX AND SPERMACETI CANDLES.—Those who burn these are respectfully recommended to make one trial whether PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES, at one.third of the cost, do not burn better.
