S. many are the tricks resorted to isy interested persons, who, either never having had BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY at afi, or, having only made a trifling purchase at some remote period, still continue to offer it—thus rendering the established celebrity of this Spirit a cover to the fraudulent substitution of every kind of trash, bought at a reduced price. So constant and so various are these unwarrantable proceed ings, that J. T. BETTS and Co. feel themselves imperatively called upon to impress in purchasers the importance of perfectly I . satisfying themselves that the article they obtain is. in reality, the PATENT BRANDY. This caution, well observed, Would, at once, dissipate the complaints so frequently made of the character of Home-made Brandy ; complaints which are *ever heard when BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY is ac tually procured. The Patentees, as Distillers, cannot send out less than Two Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, for Cash en delivery, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield bars, leading to St. John-street,—their only Establishment.

These PILLS have now been before the Public for more than FORTY YEARS, and, so unexceptionably useful have they proved, bath to individuals ani families, that they have obtained a reputation and patronage which ne medicine of a similar kind can pretend te. They are prepared without a particle of mercury or other mineral. Their qualities are not at all injured by time, or change of climate. In taking these pills, no con finement or alteration of diet (avoiding intemperance) is re quired. They seldom operate till eight or ten hours after taken, and then gently. They relieve the Liver and Bowels, eve tone to the Stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, and invigorate the functions of the whole body, and thus be- Some to both sexes (for they are quite adapted to each) an invaluable means of averting disease and restoring health.

In the course of the month will be published, what every impar tial individual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metro polis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOURNAL, which it has been determined shall be called H E W 0 R L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that «e would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bat his style would have been too spark ling and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied net only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should spettit the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, anti has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimuin, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out f k eity, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast ; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuvee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Klan aline loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Libe- x ;d r tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George 'v . ' —a` who ,Lobins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that b , ginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the younge the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the w,- ' f, paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Shefr misfortune to have submi+' —old he never had the one which would fur,' ...ed to his inspection so bad a lot, or ..ish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." ars or ,pens er tells us that the Dublin Liberal News po,tape, nbl,„ carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and dr rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has ...cribed the present generation as downright blockheads; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designatesthe whole concern " A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester hie sernto." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the shape of an able and honest Journal is required t• " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon . but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port •ne which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the soled and interested few. Such a course, we know, is alvrtys perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankl:is job-- A weekly journal for the facti- es mob ; Alike undone, or if he For this affects h!- praise or ; ~ safety, that his s ale : He sinks, a , - ' - If i 0 ,,,, ... iast, in luckless limbo act— ..d, for lib e l— an d if dumb, for debt. " We elm, always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered idieient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty ; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never likely to be r g, ealized— My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Gove rn ment by its acts, and s h a ll oppose a'Pr r , o Whig, Tory, or Radi ca l, w h en we find hint a the remnant of th e P ena l Code) filch, ~o se tothe rem oval he absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho li., Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when he resit the Ballot;—o r even so amiable and .enlightened a.

BOWRING'S ADDRESS AT THE MAN CHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A special general meetine of. the Chamber of Com merce and Manufactures of Manchester was held at their offices, Town-hall Buildings, King-street, on. Thursday last, " to meet Dr. Bowring, who would make a communication respecting the state and prospects of our relations with the countries comprised in the Prussian Commercial Union." There was a very numerous meeting of the members, including most of the principal merchants and manufacturers of' the town and neighbourhood, and the room was crammed full with the Members. About twenty minutes after eleven o'clock, J. B. Snith, Esq., President of the Chamber, entered the room with Dr. Bowring (who was warmly greeted), and a number of the Director's and other gentlemen, including Joseph Brotherton, Esq., M.P., Salford ; and we also noticed as present, Mr. Mark Philips, one of the representatives for the borough ; the Boroughreeves of Manchester and Salford, &c, The PRESIDENT, on taking the chair, read the adver tisement or circular convening the meeting, and, in re ference to the o bj ec t w hi c h h a d called te Chamber together, said—Gentlemen, you are aware that in July last, a meeting of Members of the Prussian Commercial Union was held at Berlin. It was there satisfactory to perceive the growing desire of different countries to make some reductions in their respective tariffs. At that meeting the representatives of the United States, of France and of England were present ; and it was grati fying to the Directors of this Chamber to hear, that Dr. B to ow t t a n t g m ha is cl been sion p . a T p ile oin D ted on irec the tors took of thi s be country s soon as they heard of his appointment, to forward to hint copies of the petition of the Chamber to Par liament for the Repeal of the Corn-laws, and for the abolition of all restrictions on manufactures and agri culture; and also a copy of a petition wide!' the Chamber presented to the House of Commons for the repeal of the timber duties, and for placing all foreign timber on the same footing as the imports of timber from British settlements. The Chamber were naturally anxious to hear the issue of Dr. Bovrting's tief,o -ciatlons at Berlin ; and as sr on as they heard of his return to this country, they wrote to inquire whether he could make any communication to this Chamber as to the result of his thissioe. Dr. Bawling very handsomely replied, that he should be very happy to do so, if permission Ontld l=b.blitdined. That per mission was obtained, and the Directok tiien drished to know whether that communication would be one to the board of Directors only, or whether there objection to his making a communication to the Cham ber at large. The Directors thought that tinder nrdi , . eien of trde, when circumstan ces a communication of this c h aracter would b e hi g hly i nterest i ng to all the Members ; but p a r t a s tim e like a the pre l s i e n o t un, , when a) u iti th e e tre theta is a a g re reatde- work ing short time fin- want of markets, that the Chamber would feel a double interest in knowing whether any new channels ,uf trade could he found for us in Ger m, 3/4 ' . 141,1 e .Directors were, therefore, very happy te, near that tnere was no objection to the eotninunieation of Dr. being made to the Chamber at large; and it is for this purpos e that the Directors have called you together this day, to bear that Communication.— (Applause.) Gentlemen, the Chamber will naturally not expect any communication of details which may interfere with or obstruct any future negotiation with the Prussian Government or the Prussian States; but Dr. Bowring, I am happy to say, will be able to afford us much general information on the objects of the Prussian Commercial League, which are so little under stood, and on the prospects of our future commercial relations with those powers. It is an extraordinary fact, that .our commercial intercourse with Europe— we have the authority of Mr. Porter, of the Board of Trade, for etating—is less now than it was just after the declaration of peace. Mr. Porter states that our annual average exports to did whole of Etitope were less in value by nearly 20 per cent. in the fire years from 1832 to 1836, than they were in the five years that followed the close of the ware—(Hear.) Our exports to Europe in 1810 amounted to 10,000,000/. sterling, while other exports to the United States of America amounted to 12,425,060/. so that we find that to Europe, with a population of 180 millions, our exports are only 60 p er cen t. more t h an to the Unitedi States, with a population ofl2 millions.--(Hear.) We find, too, that in the United States every individual of the population consumes of Our manufactures to the value of 0.3,01 whilst the population of the Continent of Europe cOnsUtild tally to the amount of 2s. Id. per head cf our manufactures.—(hear, bear.) Now, what is the reason that our trade with the United States is s1:1 great, and our trade with our neighbours, liVibg within a few hours' sail of us, is so limited ? There can be no other reason than this, that, with the United States we eltchange ottr manufactures for such pro ducts as she has to give us ; but we impose pfolaitory duties upon the staple articles, the products of coun tries on the Continent of Europe ; and, therefore, our commerce with those countries is necessarily limited. I think It 14111 appear to all of you, that, setting the vast and rapid increase in our population, which is increas ing at the rate of one thousand souls per day, it is absolutely necessary that we should seek new chan nels for the sale of the products of our industry.-- (Hear.) We have been told in Parliament, that it is quite in vain for us to talk of taking the corn and the timber of Cierniloy, or any other foreign country, with the expectation that they will take our manufactures in exchange. This is a point which is of great importance for Its to linciti-whetlier there is any foundation for statements like this. Dr. Bowring, I hope, will be able to solve that problem ; and we shall have an opportu nity of hearing from him whether there is any hope of our extending ditt temmercial relations with Germany— a country with which we are allied by common origin and &imam sympathies, and amongst whose.merchants We recognise softie of the most honourabl e and respect able in our community,—(Applause.) Gentlemen, I will not detain you by any further observations, but have the pleasure of introducing Dr. Bowring to yoti.—(Applause.) Dr. BoWRING, ,rho was again greeted with the plaudits of the meeting , a ddressed the Chamber to the following effect r--Mr. President and Gentlemen, ho noured as I felt myself, when first selected b y her Ma jesty's Government, t o represent the co mmerc i a l inte rests of her Maj esty's Government in one o f t h e most advanced, most opulent, and most intelligent parts of Europe, I feel further gratified in being allowed to state to you the impressions which have been left upon my mind by a 'study of the question ; because I am per suaded, that it is only upon a knowledge of the. facts that you can reason and act, that Government can nego ciate, or that Parliament can legislate. (H ear, hear.) lam bound to begin by Laying, that my re ception in Germany was as kind and as cordial as I myself could have desired ; that, fro m the Monarch to the meanest functionary I was welcomed ; and they saw in me the representative of a friendly feeling, which I everywhere found a disposition to reciprocate.—(Hear.) Throughout Germa ny . — a nd I appeal to those who know that intelligent country--there exists for this country not only a strong respect, and a great sympathy, but I will venture to say, moreover, au intense affection ; and that instructed and intelligent people feel, that, in order to strengthen their political alliance with Eng land, it must be connected with, and represented by, their great commercial interests.—( Hear, hear.) They feel, gentlemen, and I am sure you will respond to their conviction, that that union by which one nation com municates and receives blessings to and from another, ,is the stron g est, the most desirable ; and the most per manent.--(Applause:) Gentlemen, I shall not forget an emphatic and cu eloquent phrase which was addressed to me, on leaving the capital Of Prussia,—almost the last words I heard, from a remarkable and distinguished Statesman of that country—" Don't forget the im portance of your mission ; do what you are able to strengthen our commercial alliance ; and forget not that we are of the same common blood."—(Hear and applause.) In furtherance of that mission I am now humbly engaged. Gentlemen, the mischiefs whieh have been produced by what I deem false and erroneous legislation unfertu nately do not date from yesterday. A quarter of a century ago, great influence and power were in our hands. We had reached triumphantly (as it was be lieved) the end of a costly and exhausting war; and it is my opinion, that, if that influence had been wisely used—( Hear)—and if the interests of the new era,— the interests of peace, of civilization, of international intercourse, had been better understood,—the state of our commerce and manufactures would have been very different from their present condition.—(Hear, hear.) I have long thought, gentlemen, that our statesmen were too much occupied with questions which are deemed of high diplomacy, with the settlement of dy nasties, with putting up or putting down this or that individual potentate, and with distributions of territory; that they were, in fact, intoxicated with their position ; and that it never occurred to them, that it was their first duty to see that the war of swords should not be replaced by by the war of tariffs,—that war, gentlemen, as pernicious in its consequences, as any that was ever waged on the battle field.—(" Hear," and applause.) Gentlemen, my Hotiourable Friend has stated, and stated truly, that this great, influential, and, as I be lieve, durable league, is not thoroughly understood in this country. Before its existence, Germany was broken up into fractions ; millions of men speaking the same language, of common origin, having the same sympathies, the same tendencies, the same interests, were excluded from all intercommunication. It was not possible to trade, or travel, or communicate be tween one part of Germany and another, without immense impediments and difficulties ; and perhaps there is no part of the world in which there is a stronger sentiment of nationality than that which exists in that country. This state of things was found to be univer sally intolerable.... fNay, it tent so far, that in Prussia, before 1818, different parts of the same kingdom were under a different legislation, taxed differently, without the power of introducing anything like a general prin ciple ; so that brothers and friends, living under the same Monarchy, were in a state of absolute alienation, which naturally created a great deal of discontent. This conception of a commercial union had been long brocd ing in the minds of the great German people, and in 1818 Prussia herself introduced a general system of taxation, of legislation, and of tariffs, amongst her own people. I don't think her intention has been fully carried out ; because when Mr. Huskisson, in the House of Commons, stated to the British public, what the tariffs of Prussia were, and that their intention was only to levy 10 or 15 per cent. upon the introduction of foreign manufac tures, it appears to me that he did not make himself correctly acquainted with the fact ; becawe those who arc acquainted with the German trade, know that, in many instances, duties of 30, 40, GO, and even 70 per cent. were levied by that tariff, which afterwards became the groundwork of the custom-house legislation of the whole commercial union. It was in 1824 that Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and some other states united, and de termined that between themselves no custom-houses should exist ; that they would adopt a common system of tariff ; and that they would break down all the bar riers to free inter-communication. In 1826, Prussia adopted the same system, and formed a union with elec toral Hesse. In 1833, the groundwork was laid of that greater union which at this moment, consists of 26 mil lions of people ; embraces an extent of 8,200 German square miles, and has a frontier of nearly 5,000 Eng lish miles. Now, gentlemen, whatever might have been the opinions as to the propriety of breaking up this league in its origin, I am perfectly persuaded that the league is not now to be broken up ; that its influence is daily strengthening, and will be strengthened ; that the conception was originally a wise, a patriotic, and a national one ; and that the only question we have now to ask ourselves is, how this immense 'machinery can be turned to account.—(Hear.) And it is an instrument which may produce to you, and to your interests, boundless good, if it is met in a frank, cordial, and friendly spirit ; or its consequences will be of bound less evil, if things are allowed to remain as they are (Hear, hear, and applause.) Gentlemen, there is no doubt whatever, that the grievance of which we have to complain, as to the state o f the I , ji . r. is the legislation of the commercial union ' . . as applied - to foreign zitions ; for be it remembered, , it recognises, it that, as it fespnots Germany ... -1„ ; it, enables establishes, the great p r i nc i p l e o f free tra,..- a German to m o v e f ree l y f rom t h e R hine to Nu . ro -- tiers of Russia, from the Baltic to the frontiers or Austria ; there are no longer any embarrassments or impediments ; once past the frontier, lie communicates, or his goods circulate, amongst 25 millions of the most opulent population of Europe.—(Hear.) And how does this tariff affect us? I said before that Mr. Huskisson stated in Parliament, and the official cor respondence of the Prussian GOvernment avowed, that their intention was only to levy' a duty of ten to fifteen per cent;—a resonable duty with reference to the tariffs of nations generally as to foreign manufactures. But, by some ingenuity,—learned here, Gentlemen, for we are they who have given the wretched instruction which, being learned, returns to plague the instructors, —it was in our tariffs that this system of levying duties upon weight was learned ; for you know, perhaps, that when Mr. Huskisson and Parliament decided that thirty per cent, should be put upon foreign silks, some sinister interest got hold of Government ; the system of levying duty by weight was introduced ; and the fact is,' that many of the silks of France pay 60,70, or even 80 per cent at this moment.—(Hear, hear.) When we come to discuss matters of justice before a tribunal, we must go into it with clean bands ; and the difficulty which her Majesty's Commissioners have experienced on this occasion, is to answer the argument which is furnished by our own usages and our own Legislation. It has been again and again satisfactory to me to appeal from the folly of our mercantile legislation to the wisdom of our manufacturers and our merchants ; and the resolu tions which have emanated from this chamber and from other parts of this country, and representing the intel ligent opinions of thoughtful and instructed men, have been in my hands, and in the hands of others, wea pons of immense influence and power. Gentlemen, the immediate consequence of this Prus sian commercial tariff is, as you must be aware, to ope rate to the creation of new interests. Its good, as I said before, is boundless; but it has also been accompanied with a great deal of evil. Happily we have always some slight check, even upon the erroneous legislation of other countries ; because, happily, in this social or ganization of ours, a man cannot injure another, with out reflecting back some injury upon himself. Now there can be no doubt, that the operation of these tariffs excluding, as they do exclude, great quantities of your manufactures, has been in the first place to levy a large tax upon the German consumer, and, in the second plat ~ to force a great deal of •capital into a falai., erro neous, and what will ultimately prove an unproductive position. But, Gentlemen, out of that grows an im mense evil. Hero was a country [Germany] whose greatest interests were associated with agricul ture ; a country that had been making attempts, year after year, entreating, imploring you to revise your own legislation. And what says one of the most eloquent'slefenders of the Prussian League ? " We should not have complained, that all our markets were overflowing with English manufactures, that Germany alone received in British cotton goods more than the 120 millions of subjects of Britain herself in the East Indies,—had not England, while she was in undating us with her productions, insisted upon closing her markets to ours.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Robinson's resolutions in 1815 filled us with despair ; they excluded our corn from the market of Great Britain ; England told us that we were to buy of her, but not to sell to her ; we were not ,willing to adopt reprisals ; we vainly hoped that soon her own interest would have led her to reciprocate ; but we were disappointed, and we have been compelled to take care of ourselves."—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, that represents, to a great extent, a feeling, a wide-spread feeling, in Germany ; but still I am happy to say, that. that feeling will be overpowered and subjugated by that higher, nobler, and better feel ing, which seeks at this moment to repair the past, and to mark out a wiser and better path for th e future.—( Hear.) Gentlemen, as I have said, immense masses of capi tal, which bad been destined for raising the produce for which you might have interchanged your own pro ductions, have now been diverted to other objects. The agricultural interests in Germany are daily weakening ; the manufacturing interests are daily strengthening. At this moment, I believe, indeed I am sure, that, if the friendly overtures of the Prussian Government are met— and I think it is as much for the interest of Germany as of England, that the growth of her manufactures should be a natural and not a forced one—l say, if the proposals of the German Governments are cordially re sponded to, I believe the agricultural interest there will exercise that fair influence which it ought to do in this great affair. Gentlemen, you are aware that Germany has many advantages. She has the primary advantage of cheap labour, and an advantage which I deem almost of equal importance, that of a general popular instruction. --(Hear, hear.) Their Government has taken this wise view of things : " We are willing to give you all encouragement to the extension .of knowledge, and pirticularly of that knowledge which can be applied to manufacturing industry and improvement (of Ridgway, Piccadilly.

PRICE sd. which they have given evidence by the establishment of admirable schools of art, which now exist in mos t of the great cities of Prussia)---but we do not desire that your manufactures should be of premature, for that is unhealthy, growth ; we would much rather that capital should •flow in its natural currents, be cause it is certain in that way to be most productive and benefi cial." —(Applause.) In Prussia and Saxony, and the manufacturing parts of Germany, a very extraor dinary state of things exists, which gives them much advantage in the contest with you—if one must use such a word as " contest," for I confess I am not very willing_ to empl oy i t. There is there a great union of agriculture with manufactures, where Germany pro duces more cheaply than Great Britain, for the labourer e c i a li n take eery hmoe his cannotbe workma de to se h b i s s er c v o ie tt e a t ,ge t , e a e n b d e3 w p •herema produc tion. Now, it is a very extraordinary thing in that manufacture in which the Germans have the most ad vantage, and are the most distinguished—th e linen manufacture, that of 250,000 looms which exist in Prussia, only 40,000 give habitual employment to the people, and the other 210,000 looms are associated with, or made subservient to, an agricultural li!e._(Hear, hear.) No doubt this gives the Prussian labourer a great advantage, because, when he is not employed at his loom, he is engaged in his garden or his field ; and be associates healthful enjoyments with profitable labour. Now, though the manufactures of Germany, as I shall afterwards show, have obtained a wonderful develop ment under the present syitem, yet still has agriculture progressed in a greater proportion ; for everywhere you see the workings of the intelligent and productive powers of human industry when directed by sound judgment. In 1816, for example, there were in the whole of the Prussian Staves eight millions of sheep. In 1837, time number had increased to fifteen millions. But that is not the only point of interest showing how much know ledge brings with it of improvement in every depart ment. In 1816, there were only 700,000 Merino sheep in that country ; but, in 1837, the race had been so much improved, as well as increased, that there were then 3,600,000 Merino sheep. It must not be forgotten, that in this Manufacturing struggle with other nations we started first ; we pos sessed great advantages, such as the advantages of priority, the advantages of abundant capital, the ad vantages of aptitude, gained by a great experience of communication with the universal world ; the .advan tages of a most laborious population and of a most rest less activity. We had better roads than ether nations ; we were the first to introduce railways ; our canals were models for the improvements of other people ; but, gen tlemen, gradually all these advantages are passing away. —(Hear, hear.) Other nations are also progressing in the march of improvement, treading rapidly on your heels, following your example, and, less encumbered than you—(Hear)—are making much greater average progress. I will mention only one fact,—that since the peace, in Prussia only, three thousand miles of chaussees, or superior roads, have been completed. Now, gentlemen, I will call your attention to the pro gress of that manufacture with which your are more especially concerned. In the year 1828, Prussia im ported 38,566 cwt. of raw cotton ; in 1837, she imported 240,315 cwt.—(Hear.) I speak of raw cotton, imported for the purpose of manufacture. She imported of cot ton yarns, in 1828, 93,511 cwt. ; and, in 1837, she im ported* 229,745 cwt. Now, though no doubt that is a great increase in the market for cotton yarns, yet it won't escape your observation, that, while the increased importation of raw cotton has been 600 per cent., or six fold, the increase of the importation of cotton yarn has only been 250 per cent , or 24-fold.—(Hear.) But you must not believe, that even this is likely to continue ; for the same influences which have gradually excluded you from the market for your piece goods, are in opera tion, and will by-and-bye reach the market for yarns. —(Hear, hear, hear.) You cannot continue where you are. Things must be greatly better or greatly worse. There was at the late meeting at Berlin, a violent demand for increased duties on cotton yarn. It was resisted no doubt by the delegates from a majority of the states, and successfully resisted. But why ? Because they believed that the presence of commis sioners from different countries opened a door to a better and a brighter prospect ; because they deemed that at last there was some reason to hope that their friendly propositions would no longer be repudiated, but seriously considered and accepted. That is the futurity which is in your hands.--( Hear.) In Saxony, in 1830, there were 68 spinning factories, and they emp!oy( d 361,200 spindles. In 1837 there were 121 spinning esta blishments, employing 490,325 spindles. I now speak of Saxony alone, which, as you are aware, is a very small portion only of the German union ; and the last account that I could obtain of the number of spindles in work was 750,000.—(Hear.) In Saxony ' , me, of stocking-frames in 1815 there were 9,000 ; in number exceeded 20,000. In this particular e industry y ou see th e operat i on o f the d 1 e B p 3 a 7 r L i ; n t u. been explaining—this as soc i a ti on system which I have fieM with the labo ur o f th e of the productions of the . . ' feel aboveall thing s is, that they stocking-frame. What I shoulka, desire f that our labourers should k now ar m . Lave been greatly deluded by thi s questt:.n °I m oney wages. If tey would ask themselves what the; could obtain for the wages they receive, and what they economise and lily by, they would see that the condi tion of the labourer, receiving only 3s. or 4s. a week, but able out of thate3s. or 4s. to lay aside every week ed. or Is. is in a far better condition than others, though they receive 20s. a week, out of which they can make no economy, lay nothing aside for the future. I hold in my hand at this moment the smallest coin in the British empire. This a quarter of a farthing, in tended for the Cingalese, the inhabitants of Ceylon. If that coin gives to the resources of that remote island more enjoyment than that which is the coin of the com mercial league, and which represents the opulence of twenty-six millions of men, the condition of the Cinga lese is far preferable to the condition of the European, who, getting this larger . coin, can lay aside nothing out of it for his future assistance. Now, what has been going on in Germany is really this :---These la bourers are scattered over the country ; they start in early life; they obtain a stocking-frame, we will say, and they rent a small house, for which they pay probably 30s. to 40s. a year. Their average gains, perhaps, don't exceed from 3s. 6d. to 4s. a week ; but, inas• much as by the labour of their hands in their fields or gardens, they can provide for themselves and their families, in almost every case a portion of their earn ings is laid aside. They are almost universally frugal and prudent, because, as I said before, they are univer sally instructed.—( Hear.) In a few years a labourer there is able to economise 4/. or 51. sterling, with which, if he cannot buy a house, he can do so, by borrowing 141. or 16/. on mortgage—for you are aware, that, on the Continent, there are not those impediments in the transfer of property which we find here.—(Hear, hear.) He is then enabled to come into the possession of a house and a little land, and in the course of a few years he redeems the debt, and there is he, in the pos session of prcperty out of which he lives, and which gives him food. He has probably a cow to give him milk. and pigs which give him meat for his holidays— for you are aware that the consumption of animal food on the Continent is not what it is here—and he be comes really an independent man. I mention this to show, that the money amount of wages is not at all what it is believed to be by the labourers in this coun try ; that that which determines their condition, by which the quantity of wages is regulated, is on very different principles, by the quantity of supply and de mand ; and that they, under a system of free trade, would be fixr greater gainers than they are in their pre sent condition. But how has your legislation been operating on Germany? These are times in which you must go to them, and crave a supply of food. It is obvious to every body that England must he an importing country; that her means of agricultural production do not go on progressively with the increase of her population ; and that the only question is, on what conditions shall you be purchasers of food ? Now, how do you purchase it? What the labourer in Germany, this frugal and pru dent man, does is this :—He having always a supply of a little mo ney i n hi s poc k et ,—i s ena bled at low or aver age prices to provide food for himself and his family. But when. you send for this food to Germany, what is your condition ? You have a Legislature which decides, that the highest prices of your own markets shall afford encouragement to the lottery of agriculture in other countries—(Hear) —and when you have prices starvation prprices, the you Englishdec id e agri culturist, - culturist, but for the foreign producer.—(Hear, that tehaeaynashatialsllynohtigbh; forthe benefit hear.) But, as I said before, this is a calamit y f or Germany ; this produces a reaction of evil there ; this influx even of gold disturbing their exchanges, embar rassing their m erchants, and involving their capitalist s and banks in that earthquake which has been shaking your cred it, and which, reacting upon theirs, is to them ama fortune as it is to you. The question really on what condition shall you receive food from Ger many ? Shall you receive it calmly, quietly, reason ably, i n payment for the manufactures which you send to them ? or shall you go to them only in the moment of perturbation, of anxiety, of starvation, and say," Now we must have food at any rate, and we will pay any price, though the very foundations of society should be shaken by the transaction Hear," and ap p lause.) No doubt, gentl emen , you h ave had some compen sation for the loss of trade in piece goods by the in crease of the demand for cotton twist ; for I see that, in 1834, while 204,000 cwt of cotton twist paid duty in Germany, in 1837 as much as 32 4 '00 cat. was ad mitted to entry for home consumption in that part of the Continent. But I cannot .tase language too strong to impress upon your minds the fact, that that market , important as it is—the market which takes from, you half your whole export of cotton twist—that that market is in jeopardy.—(Hear, hear.) It is my opinion that, vrhetever be the intentions and purposes of the Prussian Government, they cannot preserve that market to your industry, unless some charges are made in your own legi s l at i on . —(H eir, hear.) As I have said, this great commercial union is a vast instrument, like itsmo naessocf's productionstohe f 3 oo r hugest m of shall a machinery cybcoeruyr beneficial; st o e n a d m ca n n g i d i c n o, e uo s sieri o s.u, r ii t h , o e vi3 l ,h a ce r ut g ,i oe s rr t injurious and destructiv e ; whether that vast machine e shall expansivenh virtuesoebtteh oe turned l y r t o n h f e et dsi these t mankind nkintercourse,ihostile,nwork interests a r i in ev warlike, rd:thethi the ertedihec_tahi unfriendly,naoeemfas rs free r col hear)— unpa triotic, r r c) a t el d r ort a are n ir d nyw unbrotherly feelings shall predominate, on this side the water and on the other. Gentlemen, the system of the Prussian League is I forcing things into a new, and, in many instances, an un- i fortunate direction,—unfortun a t e for Germany, unfor tunate for England. I went M e te, a district of Berlin which was formerly known by th e name a Little Man chester, in which formerly there was not a single shop . - keeper who was not supplied with manufactured goods from this place, either directly or indirectly. All that interest had been swept away. There was scarcely one individual amongst them who bad not abandoned' the trade, and many of them had become themselve s ma nufacturers, because, as they said to me, " We cannot lose our buyers. We waited, we hoped ; but we waited and hoped in vain ; and our markets and free trade with England are now altogether involved in our approbation of your manufactures." And not at a great distance from that very quarter of the capital of Prussia, I went into a manufactory, which, at this very moment, is turn ing out 900 pieces_ of cotton prints per day,—(Hear.) And now, gentlemen, we come to the question as to. what is to be done. My Hon. Friend, your President, has said that it has been asked again and again, "'What is England to get by reforming her syeeem It was stated in the House of Commons, and repeated both in and out of doors,—it was the grand and most prominent argument of one of the most eloquent men in that House, that nothing was to be obtained for the concessions made to other countries. It has been re peated again and again, of late, at the agricultural meetings which have been held throughout the e,oun try, that it is idle for England to discuss the question ofsverifieing her agriculture and her colenies ; for that nothing is to be obtained for such a sacrifice. I believe ° that the agricultural interests are deeply involved' in the question of free trade. I believe it can be proved to demonstration, that the greatest boon that could'he conferred on the agriculturists of this country would be the free importation, of co - n—(Heer)—that the greatest portion of the mercantile and commercial profits would go to the English neiculturists ; that there is no class of inen which has benefited so greatly and perma nently by the increase and extension of English manu facturing industry. But it was my duty at Berlin to explain the enormous difficulties of this question, and from those difficulties we must not turn away. And whatever I might think, as a political economist, of the true interests of agriculture and manufactures, I could not conceal from myself, and still less from the Government to which I was sent, that I did not believe that it was in the power of the Ministry, or in the will of Parliament, to give us free trade in corn. But I received the assurance, gentlemen, which I wish to im press on your minds, and that it, should go to the world, that the Governments of Germany have a full sense of the difficulties of this question, and are within!: to meet us if a moderate duty be established on the import of corn.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Gentlemen,-1 need not point your attention to those countries which have made the experinent of a free trade in corn, in order to show that their agriculture is in the most advanced and most prosperous state, and that the welfare of their manufacturing interests has not been damaged by the application of the prin ciples of free trade. Even in Germany itself, those manufactures which have the least quantity of protec tion have been, on the whole, the most progressive.— (Hear.) Those gentlemen present who !save been ac customed to ship goods to Germany, know very well ' that that market has become much less active, and that the demand for English cottons for home consumption (in Germany) has almost ceased. At the late fairs at Leipsic and Frankfort, which I passed through, and and made it my business to obtain such information as was, under such circumstances, accessible to me, I found that the demand had almost wholly ceased—at all events, for all the inferior and middle qualities of English cotton manufactures. But there is a very curiors fact, to which I would call your attention, namely, that though the demand for English cotton rnannfactures had almost ceased for the internal con sumption of Germany, the import of cotton manufac tures for its home consumption has not diminished ; so that our manufactures were excluded, not only by the industry of the Germans themselves, but by other rival nations—by Switzerland especially, by Belgium, and in some instances by France. The average im portation of manufactured cotton, into Germany has not varied 200 cwt. during the last five or six years ; and it amounts to about 13,000 cwt. of manufactured stuffs. Then, gentlemen, as I have said already, the most important question is th e quest i on o f t h e C orn -l aws, litiere is no disposition amongst the Germans to ask or to do impossible things. If we can ise induced to in troduce a progressive legislation, tending towards free commerce, they will go with us, hand in hand.--(Hear, hear.) Their statements are these :—" If you sire able and willing to do much, we, too, are able and wjiling- If you will do little, we'll meet you by doing little ; but matters can't stand where they are. Our duties must be diminished upon your goods, which we shall rejoice 'o be able to accomplish, or they must be raised." And t h at is the impression I have received in journeying, through ehe whole of th e G erman S tates . I t hi n k t h e moment most propitious ; that the feeling towards to which I have b e f ore re f erre d, was never more Engla s nd trO whichng, never more friendly.—(Hear.) I should deplore, to the end of any days, if this occasion were lost ; I should rejoice, ;beyond expression, if it were accepted—if there were such an expression of public opinion throughout the country, as should respond, in the language of brotherhood, to these friendly and brotherly offers ; and I am convinced that their effects, their happy consequences, would be seen in an immense impulse to the trade and manufactures of this country. —(Applause.) I rejoiced much to have in my hands, also, the peti tion of this Chamber of Commerce, with respect to the timber duties. The settlement of that question would affect not only Germany but other countries ; and pledge myself to this fact, that not only the markets of Germany, but other important markets, now closed to your manufactures, will be opensal, cheerfully opened, I• if the timber duties are repealed.— Hear.) I rejoice that my Right Hon. Friend, who latt: l Y represented you will have an opportunity of ascent - dm:le, when he reaches Canada, whether or not the colonial interests are involved seriously in this question. As far as i !lave been able to get at the opinions of the honest Canadia.a cultivators, progriefors, or merchants, I believe that the timber trade with Canada is pernicious to Canada — (Hear, hear)—that it is an injurious application of capital ; that it is desirable that they should be relieved from it ; and I hope that my Right Hon. Friend, as Le has now an opportunity of estimating it for himself, mill also come to that conclusion ; for certainly I have not understood the great anxiety which yas manifested to cover him with opprobrium'before his departure, when it must have been known that if Canadian interests are involved in the preservation of these discrimination duties, considering that he went to Canada to study those interests—l do not see how it should not have had a beneficial effect upon his mind, and have made him a convert to the doctrines of these Canadian tim ber importers, when he had so good an opportunity of ascertaining what would be the effect in Canada itself. It is necessary that I should state to you, that som e misconception has gone abroad with respect to the ob ject of the late congress that was held at Berlin. That congress was not composed of men authorised to nego, ciate for any changes in the tariffs. They were merely there as delegates of the different powers composing the German union, to settle the accounts, to make a partition of the receipts, to take up all those questions • of internal a dministration which were connected with levying these taxes ; and, generally, to give effect to any change which might have been negotiated by the . different governments during the preceding • year. I bad the pleasure there of having for colleagues, the representatives of France and America —men who, I think, rightly under s t oo d and fully appreciated i the importance of their mission. W e found that we were all engaged in the same cause ; that we all represented the same interests, viz., the diffusion of commercial in tercourse. And if, now and fleet], it was suggested • to any of us that the interests of England were not , involved in the raising of this or the other duty upon French productions ; or that the interests of France were not involved in raising the duty on cotton twist, or any other English production ; or that in the importation of rice, for example, neither France nor England had any concern ;—we proceeded in this Community of feeling to state, that it was our duty everywhere to resist any attempt at thorn.—(lleac, lcvyiug increasing tariffs, and dto to assoisbttooioneoadnoiotlhicero,tiionc of thefts every direction, i n and applat:s.i.) to content. ; it is not but a fallacy, like the falsehoods mo N oy ovs w , g it e h nt w ler ic e i n i , t y h o e u on h l o y ve argumen . t I h i eat d . in Ger many language from that of many l u e m re er i c t d ior the advocates of monopoly in of our opponents here, is this It is idle for you to England will not reciprocate ; it is idle to be of modifying your tariffs, in the view of in piGnudetremefdoarnwaynahrda:le cop g lin h g er to do the same ; you will obtam nothing from Her landlords, her agriculturists, her sinister in- hdd ti r l rec k .aino ; tr rests, are too mighty to be overthrown or even shaken.
