The HYDRO-ELECTRIC MACHINE. (From the Times.) MADRID, Dlic. 1 0.--There would still seem to be a hope that the lives of Col. Rengifo and his unfortu nate companions, who were lately condemned to death by the court-martial of which General Cordova was the President, may be saved and, perhaps, the penal ties to which the other prisoners were sentenced com muted or diminished.* A protest has been made on the part of the prisoners against the competency , of the court-martial, as constituted, to try them. The first article of the 6th section of the ordenanzos has the following :—" In all that relates to military crimes, Ste., against the officers of my royal service, it is my will and pleasure that they should be submitted to a junta of officers of superior rank, and that the said junta should bear the denomination of a ' Council of IVar of General Officers.'" And by a subsequent royal order, of the 14th May, 1801, it was provided, that even in the causes submitted legitimately to the judgment of ordinary courts .martial, if military' officers should be implicated, no penalty can be im posed on them by the said ordinary courts, but the charges must be referred to the Captain-General, in order to be examined by a council of General Officers. It is on the above regulation that the complaint of Rengifo and his companions is founded, inasmuch as the court that passed the various sentences already mentioned was not composed of officers equal to the rank of several of the accused. For instance, the President of the court himself is a Major-General, whilst Evaristo San Miguel is a Lieutenant-General ; and Rengifo himself, being a Colonel, was superior in rank to any of the other members. . The matter had been referrel to the Supreme Tri bunal of IVar and Marine; and that court has ad dressed a report to her Majesty on the subject, and in support of the ordenanza thus violated in the persons of the prisoners. Notwithstanding the belief that the sentence would be carried into execution on the ap probation of the Captain-General of Madrid, it was yet thought impossible that so flagrant an injustice could be committed until at least the result of the report of the Supreme Tribunal could be known. The Baron de Meer is well-matched by his brother, Captain-General of Aragon, who, in a late bando ad dressed to the Aragonese, threatens that if any new attempt be made at insurrection he will destroy the very towns, and not allow one stone to remain upon another, in what he calls the nests of robbers, contra bandiste, and rebels. The following is the bando : " Saragossa, Dec. 4. " Inhabitants of the valleys of llecho and Anso ! You have beheld with what rapidity chastisement has been inflicted on your treason, your robberies, and your murders. If you have the audacity to repeat similar at tempts against the Government of the Queen (whom God Almighty preserve) and the laws, be certain that your haunts of robbers, contrabandists, and mal e f ac t ors w ill cease to exist. Respectable inhabitants of Arragon, as sist the Government of her Majesty in annihilating those malignants, and reckon with certainty on the co-opera tion of your Captain-General, Debt, amount 1,195,000 reels, closed at 74 18th; Coupons, at 25i, at 60 days. low price at which they were produced in the ted States. In 1823, the total amount of cotton manufactures exported from the United States was 1,763 packages ; he had not the valuation ; in 1827, it was 2,494 packages ; in 1830, 5,306 packages ; in 1833, 13,207 packages.—(Hear, hear.) In 1834, he had only the return of the valuation, and not of the packages ; but it was a considerable increase, amount ing to 2,085,000 dollars. In 1835, it was 2,858,000 dollars ; for 1836 and 1837 he had no returns—[they were 2,255,000 dollars, and 2,831,000 dollars re spectively.—Reporter]—in 1838, it was 3,758,000 dollars ; in 1839, 2,975,000 dollars ; in 1840, 3,549,000 dollars ; 1841, 3,122,000 dollars ; in 1842, 4,500,000 dollars ; for 1843, he had not an exact return, but it would amount, according to Messrs. Jones, Gibson, and Ord's circular, to between six and seven millions of dollars.—(Hear, hear.) In 1843, one-half of the exports to China consisted of American domestics; they equalled one-half the entire shipments from Europe and America. What was to become of our shipping interests, and many other interests, if the coarse cotton manufacture of this country was to decline ? It would not take many ships to carry out shipments of lace, even though these were increased largely in value. He would merely add, that he believed Sir Robert Peel, in his opening speech, when he brought forward the existing tariff, stated that his intention was, that no raw material of manufacture should be exposed to any duty beyond that of five per cent. He saw also in the appendix to the Glas gow memorial, a quotation from his speech in 1835, in which he stated the great desirability of as speedy a removal of the cotton-tax as it was possible to effect it. The only argument that, within the verge of possibility, could be adduced in favour of a tax upon the importation of cotton wool was furnished by the prohibition to export machinery. That prohi bition was now removed ; our machinery was ex portable, and was exporting most rapidly to every part of the world, and to America amongst other places; and we had now no monopoly, if he might use the term—(though it was only a partial one be fore, for there was much smuggled)—we had now not the shadow of a monopoly left, to urge in defence of continuing this tax. And, if the income-tax were retained, as it was said it would be, then it would be utterly inexcusable to retain the cotton-tax for a day longer. But even if it were not retained, still be would say that there was no tax that demanded such an immediate removal as the cotton -tax.—(Applause.) In conformity with these views, he would move the first resolution—" That the tax on cotton wool, the staple raw material of the manufacture of this district, is grossly impolitic, and operates, as experience has proved, to the injury of our trade and commerce ; and ought, therefore, to be forthwith repealed." Mr. ROBERT GARDNBR, in seconding the resolu tion, said, with respect to the cotton-tax, there could be no difference of opinion in that room. It was a tax, as he had stated on a former occasion, which pressed directly upon the operative. With respect to wages, it was well known that in this part of the country they were formerly exceedingly low. In one point of view, wages were perhaps reduced by the manufacturers considerably below the point to which they ought to have been reduced, but they followed noble example--the example of the aristocracy—and, when the wages of the manufacturing operatives were at the very lowest point, they were never reduced to the level of the agricultural labourers—(Hear)--nor were the wages of the manufacturing operatives here ever reduced to the level of those paid for the same work either in Germany or America. Therefore, he would correct himself; and say that the English manu facturers had not reduced wages lower than they had been compelled to do; for, when they paid the lowest wages, they were still paying more than the agricul tural labourer received, and more than was paid for the same kind of work in America or the continent of Europe. He would therefore turn round and say that the operative did not suffer in this country in consequence of the reduction of wages, but in consequence of the extravagantly high price of food.—(Hear, hear.) A great deal was said about rural population, and about protection and encourage ment to native industry. If there was any truth in the report of the Commissioners appointed to examine into the condition of the agricultural population, they were in a much worse state than our own. What were the earnings of the agricultural labourer, and what did they contribute to the revenue ?—(llear.) They principally lived upon potatoes and bread, and could contribute nothing to the revenue, which was dependent almost exclusively upon the commerce of the country.—(Hear.) He had no hesitation in say ing that more wages were paid by the manufacturers of Lancashire than were paid for all the rural labour of England, Ireland, and Scotland—while, as he had said, the revenue, almost exclusively depended upon manufacturing industry. Some person said, " What has manufactures done ?" It had reduced the expenditure not only of the labourer, but of the noble.—(Hear, hear.) It had reduced everything, in the article of cotton, from three fourths to four-fifths of its original value; every thing in the shape of linen from one-half to three fourths ; everything in the shape of woollens, as far as the manufacturing process of woollens was con cerned, it had reduced in value three-fourths. It had reduced the expenditure of the noble, as well as the poor, in everything connected with furniture, clothing, and everything of that sort, from one-half to three-fourths, or even four-fifths in some cases ; and yet those who cried down machinery and manu factures were the friends, the manufacturers, and the enemies of the labourer.—(Hear, hear.) It must be borne in mind, also, that in proportion as the la bourer's expenditure in clothing had been reduced, just in the same proportion had his food been in creased.—(Hear.) The Duke of Richmond was of opinion that foreigners would continue to take our cloth, though we refused their wool. A friend of his (Mr. Gardner's) who was deeply interested in the wool trade, predicted that in fourteen years of the time of the duty being imposed, foreigners would meet us in every neutral market, and beat us out of it ; and we had found the truth of it by experience. Yet some persons never profited by experience. When the present Government proposed to take off the only remaining duty upon wool, the Duke of Richmond came down and said something about destroying the agricultural interest, and that he would move for an inquiry. He (Mr. Gardner) thought it was Lord Dalhousie who said, that if his Grace moved for an in quiry into the wool trade, he might meet with many things which were most unpleasant to him ; so he got up and, without moving for an inquiry, talked about inflicting injury upon the landed i n t eres t by re d uc i ng the price of English wool. 'What was the result ? The price of English wool, since the lowest prices of 1845, had risen from 35 to 40 per cent., and the in crease in the import of foreign wool was now 60 per cent. upon that of 1843, and 90 per cent. upon that of 1842.—(Hear.) And that, notwithstanding the increase of price of British wool to the extent of 35 to 40 per cent., all this had arisen, not from protec tion, but in consequence of taking off protection. Then our exports of woollens in 1842 were 4,869,0001 b.; in 1844, they were 8,065,0001 b. What should they have been if the sixpence duty had been retained ? Why, before that injurious tax was inflicted on Yorkshire, the population of which county some years ago was larger than that of Lan cashire (its area being thrice as large as this county), and probably, but for this mischievous law, the popu lation of Yorkshire would now have been as far a head of Lancashire as Lancashire was of Yorkshire. Where was, then, the talk of " native industry" and " the English labourer," of which we now read so much? At the meeting of the Society for the Pro tection of Agriculture the other day, at which the Dukes of Richmond and Cleveland and many others were present, they approved of Sir R. Peel's Corn Bill, but especially of the entire reduction of the wool duty; though, previously, the same Dukes had pro tested strongly against such removal. Mr. Gardner then adverted to the corn-law, and said he could, de- (From the Morning Chronicle.) MADRID, Dac. 10.—The great matter of talk here for the last day or two has been the correspondence which has taken place between our Minister, Mr. H. L. Bulwer, and a Mr. Cochrane, who has pub-. lished the letters that passed between them in the Eco del Comercio and Esperanza journals. It is now some months past that many of the Madrid papers copied from the French an account of the expected visit of a " wealthy English gentleman, named Coch rane," who had formerly rendered services to the Spanish emigrants in England, by travelling through out the country with a guitar as a Spanish minstrel, and collecting subscriptions, which he handed over to them. Some short time after, Mr. Cochrane's arrival here was announced, and since then his name has been continually before the pub lic through paragraphs in the newspapers, and letters from the directors of public establish ments which he visited and eulogised. Some of the journals had latterly hinted at the propriety of the Government bestowing some decoration upon him previous to his departure for the south. Then came letters to all the papers taking leave, and thanking the public for the favourable reception he had met with during his visit; and lastly, in the Eco of Saturday, came out an extensive correspondence with Mr. Bulwer, the publication of which is to be regretted in every sense, and the subject is the general topic of conversation. It appears, by Mr. Coch rane's first letter, that he had spoken with Senor Martinez de la Rosa on the subject of a Spanish order, which the latter expressed him self willing to confer upon him, but suggested that the application should come through his Minister, upon which he addressed a letter to Mr. Bulwer, dated Nov. 24, in which he inclosed a collection o extracts from all the journals that had made mention of him, as showing that public opinion was in his favour, and that the bestowal of a decoration upon him for his " humble services and sympathies towards the country in 1828 and 1829" would be "highly satisfactory to the inhabitants of Madrid." The letter contained three extracts from the Castellano, three from the Eco, three from the Esperanza, two from the Espectador, one from the Clamor Publico, three from the Heraldo, two from the Globo, two from the TieTpo, and two from the Posdeta. 13ulwer replied on the 28th, that, having read all the extracts, he could not see anything in them to authorise his desire ; that some were evidently written by persons who had no knowledge of Mr. Cochrane or his services, while others appeared the production of a friendly or partial hand, and that whatever might be his own opinion of Mr. Cochrane's merits, his celebrity was scarcely so extensive or so European, as to have set all the journals of a capital writing in his favour with such eloquence, unless some trouble had been taken to draw their attention to the subject, and obtain their suffrages. At the same time he expressed his willingness, in deference to the letters he had brought, and the sympathies he had manifested for the unfortunate on other occasions, to communicate to the Spanish Foreign Minister, that provided her Bri tannic Majesty would permit Mr. Cochrane to wear a Spanish order, and the Spanish Government chose to confer it, he should be very well satisfied that Mr. Cochrane should receive it. " MANUEL BRETON." As the Queen was leaving the Royal Chapel the day before yesterday, and proceeding to her apart ments, she was met in the corridor of the Palace by the father of one of the persons condemned to death by the late court-martial. The old man threw him self at her feet, imploring mercy in the most heart rending terms, and presented to her Majesty a petition, which she took from his hand and retired. It will, in all likelihood, produce much the same effect as the prayers of the young wife of the son of Zurbano to the same personage. The Cortes did not meet to-day. A rather lengthened correspondence between a gentleman of the name of Cochrane and Mr. Bulwer, the British Minister, has given occa sion to A good deal of gossip here. Mr. Coch rane has thought proper to publish the whole of his correspondence ;with Mr. Bulwer in the Eco del Comercio. To give you an idea of the taste of Mr. Cochrane, it will be sufficient to say that having been invited to partake of Mr. Bulwer's hospitality, he has thought proper, in the published correspond ence, to critiscise the styl e o f th e di nners, &c., of which he had, as an invited guest, partaken at the private table of our Minister. Whether Mr. Cochrane may be taken as a good specimen of the modest and retiring Englishman, I know not ; but the gossips of Madrid laugh heartily at the proofs of what they call " English eccentricity," so abundantly exhibited in his correspondence. The history of the affair, in a few words, is this : —lt appears that Mr. Cochrane, some time since, amused himself in travelling about England as an itinerant musician, playing the violin or guitar, I do not well know which, collecting money in that capacity, which he subsequently handed over to some Spanish refugees then in England. On his arrival here, some short time since, there suddenly appeared in most of the Madrid journals articles and para graphs bestowing the greatest praise on the " illus trious Englishman" who had come amongst us. He paid visits to the hospitals and other places of public beneficence, and praised everything he saw. In some of the paragraphs it was even more than hinted that a cross of distinction •should be bestowed by the Government on Mr. Cochrane for his services to the Spanish nation. The above-mentioned paragraphs were sent by Mr. Cochrane to Mr. Bulwer, as documents proving his merits, and, in some sort, his right to the cross, which was the object of his ambition ; and it was intimated by M. Martinez de la Rosa, that if the gentleman was recommended by the British Minister, there would not be much difficulty in granting it to him. The letter of Mr. Bulwer which, it would appear, gave most offence to Mr. Cochrane, was that in which he intimated the insufficiency of such documents as newspaper paragraphs to give a claim to decorations which were only bestowed on persons who had served the country in the field of battle, or whose excellence in science, literature, or the arts, had o bt a i ne d f or them an European celebrity; and he hinted that the laudatory paragraphs referred to were owing to his own exertions, or to those of certain partial friends who had influence enough with the press to get them inserted. Mr. Cochrane appealed to the journals to declare whether he had solicited the insertion of para graphs praising himself. The editor of the Posdata declares that the paragraphs alluded to were delivered by Mr. Cochrane himself for insertion. The Heraldo of this evening, amongst other observations, has the following : Mr. Cochrane appears to have considered Mr. Bul wer's reply as involving very grave charges against him, and several other letters passed which he finally published, calling upon the editors of the Madrid journals, in a letter of the sth inst., to say whether their remarks respecting him had been inserted through favour, or had emanated from their own con victions, and whether they wished to modify them. Most of the journals have responded, in one sense or other, to this appeal. The Posdata last night says, " We are bound to declare that the notices we pub lished respecting Mr. Cochrane were taken from another journal, and communicated by himself." The Heraldo says that Mr. Cochrane " cannot be ignorant that we have lent ourselves, up to this moment, to publish the different notices relative to his person, which he himself or his friends have in dicated to us, which we have done from hospitable regard for a foreigner, and the estimable person who presented him to us, and because the news we com municated were curious." The Globo has not de clared itself publicly, but its editor has addressed a letter to Mr. Bulwer, stating that Mr. Cochrane was introduced with a request that mention should he made of him in the journal. The editors of the Heralds and Posdata have addressed private letters to Mr. Bulwer in the same sense. The Tiempo merely refers its readers to the Eco to read the cor respondence, if they wish to " form an idea of what is now called the eccentricity of the English charac ter." The Esperanza, Carlist journal, declares that no efforts were made to procure the insertion of the paragraphs in that paper; nor were they inserted through personal intimacy; that the first para graph was copied from Galignanis Messenger, and those since were founded on facts ; and finally, that they confirm all that they had said. The Cas tellano, Eco, and Espectador, treat Mr. Bulwer's re flections as a charge against the independence of the Spanish press, and declare that they praised Mr. Cochrane on public grounds alone, expressing them selves, consequently, offended; particularly the Es pectador, which writes with considerable violence on the subject, forgetting that Mr. Bulwer's letter was not intended for publication, and bringing strong po litical feelings into a question purely personal. The Clamor Publics has not yet taken any notice of the subject. The general feeling among impartial persons is one of regret that Mr. Bulwer should have allowed himself to be drawn into the correspondence, and of decided reprobation of its publication, many of the topics introduced being quite irrelevant to the ques tion, and the whole calculated to bring the British name into ridicule. REPEAL OF THE DUTY ON COTTON WOOL. (Abridged from the Manchester Guardian.) The Mayor had convened a public meeting of the merchants, manufacturers, cotton. spinners, and others, of the borough, which was held on Tuesday afternoon, in the large room of the Town•hall, " for the purpose of promoting the repeal of the tax upon cotton wool." The requisition was signed by upwards of 130 firms and individuals, including many of the principal houses, both mercantile and manufacturing, and individuals of all classes and shades of political opinions. " Mr.C'ochrane, whose name has appeared more than once in the Heraldo, has published in certain periodicals a correspondence between him and the worthy British Minister at this Court, Mr. H. L. Bulwer. Mr. Cochrane reminds us that he sent us a copy of the correspondence referred to ; and as, in some measure, he complains that we have not inserted these extraordinary documents, we feel ourselves obliged to say that we hare not done so from respect to the private character of those letters. " Besides, Mr. Cochrane appears to be ungrateful to wards us and accuses us of want of attention; but he surely must remember that we have heretofore published para graphs relating to him which he himself or his friends have communicated to us. We yielded merely from a hospitable deference towards a stranger, as well as to wards the estimable person who presented him to us ; and because the paragraphs furnished us were rather of a curious kind. Nothing of this possesses importance ; though, in truth, these circumstances justify the asser tions of Mr. Bulwer respecting the paragraphs alluded to. The conduct of the British Minister was delicate and scrupulous in this affair, inasmuch as, from his position with relation to our Government, as well as from his distinguished qualities, he exercises a necessary influence where honours are to be bestowed upon the subjects of his nation ; and he was not disposed to demand honours which were not founded on merits, in his judgment, un equivocal." - Amongst the gentlemen present we observed— Messrs. R. 11. Greg, Robert Gardner, J. B. Smith, Robert Stuart, Thomas Cooke, henry Ashworth, Malcolm Ross, John Shawcross, Alderman Harvey, Thomas Buie", jun., Alderman Kershaw, Alderman Hopkins, Lewis Williams, Edward Shawcross, &c. Shortly after three o'clock Alexander Kay, Esq., the Mayor, took the chair, and having opened the proceedings, Mr. ROBERT HYDE GREG, in coming forward to move the first resolution, said he was sure no one present, and no intelligent person absent, had the slightest doubt of the impolicy of a tax on the raw material of the largest branch of the national manu facture; or of the double impolicy of that tax, seeing that the great bulk of that manufacture was exported to foreign countries; or of the treble impolicy (if he might say so) of such a tax, where the country that supplied us with this raw material, or at least the great bulk of it, was engaged in an active, a suc cessful, and a constantly increasing competition with the manufacturers of this country. Such was the cotton-tax, the immediate repeal of whi :h they had met to petition the Legislature for. He would not bring forward any long array of figures to show the large proportion of our manufactures that was ex ported, but he believed the very lowest we could take it at was three-fourths; and in the latest state ments, those made at the Chamber of Commerce and in the Glasgow memorial of last spring, the quantity exported was stated to amount to five-sixths of the whole quantity in 1842, and to six-sevenths in 1843. The point to which he wished to direct attention was the nature and extent of the competition to which we were exposed by the United States of America; for, although a very considerable competition had arisen in Switzerland and Germany, in medium qualities of goods, almost entirely perhaps in hand-loom cloth, still the rival we had to fear, more immediately and extensively in every point of view, was the United States. That country had every advantage in having the raw material on the spot, and paying no duty. The advantage in favour of the Americans in the im porting here of raw cotton, in the expense of freight and insurance alone, was, he believed, on an average, exactly equal to one-half of those expenses of impor tation to Liverpool. When the Americans had such immense advantages, could we wonder at the rapid increase of their manufactures ? Could we wonder, after having supplied the whole of their own con sumption, because we must not suppose that English goods had been excluded by their high tariff; for our coarse goods were excluded before that by the „ The editor of the Glob() states something of a similar kind, that the paragraphs in question were in serted at the request of persons interested in Mr. Cochrane. The misfortune is that the papers have already made it a political question, and thereby an importance has been bestowed on the matter which it never deserved. There can, however, be but one opinion as to the publication by Mr. Cochrane of letters which were never intended to meet the light; and every one must condemn the taste which could prompt that person to attempt to hold up to public ridicule the dinners of which he had partaken as the guest of Mr. Bulwer. monstrate, to any man who would reflect on the sub ject, that the sliding-scale was one of the greatest curses that ever befel this country.—(Great applause.) If ever a law came from below, that was the law.— (Laughter and applause.) He was also prepared to show that three-fourths of the revenue was levied en- The public will best judge whether travelling about England for his own amusement, as an itinerant musician ; collecting money, which he distributed to the refugees; visiting some public establishments here, and procuring by hiniself, directly or indirectly, through two or three acquaintances (as has been seen from the above), the insertion of his own praises in some of the Madrid papers, form sufficient grounds for a claim to honours, which, as Mr. Bulwer pro perly remarks, are only due to distinguished acts of valour in the field, or a European fame acquired by great excellence in the arts, ,in science, or in literature.

The meeting then broke up. Mr. GARDNER concluded by recommending mas ters and workmen to unite together to get these re strictions removed, which, if not abolished, would most assuredly ruin the country.—(Applause.) The MAYOR then put the resolution, which passed unanimously. Mr. Alderman Hon('Ns moved the adoption of a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury; that it be signed on behalf of the meeting by the Mayor, and be forwarded by him.

This resolution passed unanimously, as did the next, for the publication of the proceedings, moved by Mr. T. CooKE and seconded by Mr. BARTON. Mr. Cooke was then called to the vacated chair, and Mr. L. WILLIAMS moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his valuable services in presiding, and for the prompt manner in which he had complied with the requisition to call the meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. NicitoLLs, and passed with applause, and the proceedings then termi nated. MEETING AT EXETER-HALL FOR THE PURPOSE OF RELIEVING FATHER MATHEW FROM MS PECUNIARY DIF FICULTIES. A public meeting, convened by advertisement for the above purpose, was held yesterday evening- in Exeter hall. The large room was well filled, and on the plat form were many gentlemen distinguished, some for their zealous philanthropy, and others for their literary attainments. Right iost H he o a n r . ty Lord appl J au oli se n . Russell A t a The Secretary to the National Temperance Society, quarter after chair, after sixam amid dthe then Mr. Theodore Compton, read letters from the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Bishop of Norwich, Dr. Bowring, M.P., Joseph Hume, M.P. and other no blemen and gentlemen expressing their heartyacon currence with the objects of the meeting, but ex cusing their absence in consequence of other engage ments. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Ladies and Gentlemen, I now appear before you for the purpose of opening the business of the evening. I have felt so deeply the merits of the Rev. Mr. Mathew, and the value of his exertions in the cause of temperance, that I was most anxious to be able to attend this meeting, I need not assure you that this cause in which we are at present engaged is connected with no political party, and no sect in religion.—(Great cheering.) It is the common and universal cause of all religion and of all morality.--(Continued cheering.) Whatever may be the sin, and the guilt, and the folly, of intemperance among all orders of society, there is no class which is so much exposed to temptation, and at the same time suffers so severely from its consequences, as the poor est class of the community.—(llcar, hear.) .1 say, no class is so much exposed to temptation, because, in the midst of misery and the hardships of povertyl to be enabled to steep the senses in forgetfulness for tha time, might well be a temptation to the great majority of mankind.—(Hear, hear.) At the same time, no class suffers so severely from its consequence, because the comforts of the poor man's family depend, not so much upon his industry as upon his sobriety.— (Cheers.) It is a curse of intemperance to be obliged to leave his wife and children without the comforts of life, and without that clothing which a reform in this particular might enable him to procure them. —(Hear, hear.) It is a consequence, too, that he is obliged to fall into evil company, and is led to take a share in those broils and fights which accompany in temperance wherever it exists.—(Hear, hear.) It renders his children strangers to him, and makes his neighbour his enemy. If such, therefore, are some of its consequences, it requires no ordinary effort to produce a great impression on a whole nation—to bring them at once from habits in which they had ever indulged—to bring them to the practice of those virtues by which their domestic happiness is in creased, and their moral and religious conduct im proved.—(Cheers.) I say, no ordinary inducement, no common exertion, suffices for this object; but we all know that the extraordinary labours, the untiring energy, the disinterested forgetfulness of all self, did enable the Rev. Mr. Mathew to accomplish this moral ruiracle.—(lmmense cheering.) That change in Ire land, effected by his exertions, surprised an admiring world.—(Continued steering.) But, gentlemen, although Mr. Mathew was endowed with that zeal and that energy, and although he felt his great reward to be the very producing of that great change in the conduct of his countrymen, yet unhappily it was, that thus, while pursuing his course with hand and with heart, and with a zeal which persons less interested in the cause could not possibly follow, that he got into diffi culties, and let me assure you, that from all inquiries which I have made, the stories which have been cir culated of the wealth being acquired by Mr. Mathew, or those belonging to him, are entirely with out foundation.—(Hear, hear.) In numbers of cases —in a hundred thousand instances—the very medals which were obtained by those who took the pledge of temperance, were given gratuitously.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Mathew had to pay the expenses of journeys, the expenses of printing, and all other expenses of a simi lar kind, nor, while engaged in this career, did his zeal and enthusiasm allow him to perceive that he was not following the rule of worldly prudence. What, then, ought to be the c on d uc t, b o th o f th at country to which he belongs, and of this country, with which I trust it will always be closely and perpetually npited —(Cheers)—what should be their and our conduct, I say ? If we have not the merit ourselves of effecting that reformation , if we ourselves h ave no t undergone th e f a ti gue , if have not achieved the moral victory which Mr. Mathew has obtained, at. least we may have the satisfaction of contributing something to that success by relieving him from his. present difficulBes—(Cheers)—and enabling him to. start afresh in that most glorious career.—(Great cheering.) I feel, I think that you all will feel, that this change so sudden—a change from habits long rooted—a change so extensive that no less than 4,000,000 of persons accepted the pledge from his, hands—that this change, so sudden, so extensive, re-. quires great watchfulness to insure its continuance.. Is it not evident that if his efforts are to be entirely relaxed, many will fall again into that evil from which they had formerly abstained—(lletii, hear)—and it that watchfulness and that care be so necessary, who so likely to have a great and beneficial impression ors them, and to bring them again, if fallen, into the! practice of that moral cause which they had' once before professed, as he, the Apostle of their conversion?—(Loud and continued cheering.) He who brought them formerly from the paths of sin, to better courses, was now oppressed with pecuniary difficulties, and he could not now continue his laboule with the same disregard of worldly concerns as be fore, if not relieved by the generosity of the people of Ireland and their countrymen of England.— (Cheers.) Let us, therefore, embrace this opportunity of contri buting, both in this and in the sister country— (Cheers)—to promote the cause of temperance, and then at least we shall have the satisfaction of thinking that our small gratuity will benefit a good man, and, through him, our fellow-men.—(llis Lordship sat down amidst loud cheering.) The Rev. JAUEZ BURNS read the Address of the Committee of the National Temperance Society to the British public on behalf of Father Mathew. Sir E. CODRINGTON moved the first resolution, that the address then read be circulated under the: - direction of the Committee. The Gallant Admiral then proceeded to speak of the effects of intemperance in the navy. It was the cause of almost all the acci dents by fire or falling over shipboard that occurred in the service, and the man who had been so emi nently serviceable in reducing the evil, he hoped would soon again be enabled to resume his career of usefulness. J. S. BUCKINGHAM, Esq., seconded the resolution, and, in a lengthened speech, detailed the rise and progress of the temperance cause ; and, at the con• elusion of his speech, read the list of subscriptions, headed by the Noble Chairman, whose name was down for 25/. The total sum was 342/. 2s. 2d. JAMES POWNELL, Esq., of Upper Clapton, briefly addressed the meeting, and was followed by Ewart, Esq., M.P., S. C. Hall, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Sherman, of Surrey Chapel ; L. Heyworth, Esq., of Liverpool ; and Mr. Henry Vincent, who was observed upon the platform, and was loudly called for. The latter gen tleman delivered a most eloquent and effective speech, in which, with great good taste, he forbore any allu sion to party politics. Mr. THOMAS, of Bristol moved, and Mr. POTTER se conded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried amid deafening applause. Lord J. RUSSELL felt that he was greatly honoured in being permitted to attend that meeting, for the pur pose of promoting, humbly, but sincerely, the great cause of which Mr. Alathew was the apostle. He said again that that was no party and no sectarian question, and he was convinced there was nothing so likely to elevate the people of this country, whether as regarded religion, political opinions, literary or moral qualifications, as this great question of temperance. He returned them his thanks for the honour they hat done him. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TArrERSALUS.—YESTEBDAY.

This Series of books will be found to differ in some very important respects from every other hitherto presented to the public. I. It will consist exclusively of new and original works, chiefly of the class of Novels and Romances. 11. The price of each work will be less than one-half the sum charged for an equal amount of matter in the ordinary system of publication. 111. The means by which the saying of cost will he effected will in volve no sacrifice of literary or typographical excellence. IV. The quantity of matter gives in each l'art will be found to ob viate a ♦ery general objection made to Serial Works, on the ground of a too frequent suspension of the interest. The Novel will be published in Four Monthly Parts, of the poet octavo form. Each l'art will contain One Hundred and Sixty hand somely printed pages, and be sold for Three Shillings.

We regard th e work before us, The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a genes of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loon o know. Wesnust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim *f past folly, or suffer. Sag front indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a clam of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fall to recomme it to a careffil YRI perusal."—Era.

By the use of these newly-invented spectacles, imperfect vision becomes preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation, and can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the frequent changes to further helps ; also newly-invented achromatic waistcoat-pocket telescopes and opera glasses. Every kind of telescope of larger sine with increasing powers, for shooting, sea purposes, and, upon stands, for astronomical purposes, with the same celebrated lenses, the powers are so great, and the lenses so bright and brilliant, that minute objects at an extraordinary distance are brought completely under the eye.

SPANISU CONSISTENCT.—It is a curious coincidence that, while the Legislative Chambers at Madrid are dis cussing the Reform Bill, the Ministry are engaged in committing excesses never surpassed, if equalled, by former brigands. General Narvaez is created Duke of Ardoz and a grandee of Spain of the first clam because we presume he is an assassin of the first order. Ile gives a banquet to the Queen one day, and the next orders the execution of the son and brother-in-law of Zurbano. We would suggest that the British Government imme diately present General Narvaez with a red riband. Any other colour would not be in keeping with such a blood stained monster.—The Great Gun. LIE COUNTESS OF BLESSINGTON.—The novel-read ing public are on the qui vice for the new work of " Strathern," from the pen of this accomplished authoress, whose productions are ever received with a cordial wel come by all classes :of readers, on account of the ori ginality and knowledge of life which they display. Many of the characters in this work are said - to be por traits drawn from real life,figuring in a series of remark. able scenes at home or abroad. To specify two or three of the leading ones :—ln Lord Fitzwarren, the good natured foxhunter, may be recognised a certain Noble Peer of the present day ; in Lady Mountserrat, a rich and vulgar parvenue, whose strange " sayings and doings" have repeatedly been a theme for remark in the fashion able world ; and the designing and unprincipled Wel lerby family are likenesses much too striking to be mistaken. £2 15 3 124 1 8 Age........

Tne premiums are payalsle yearly, half.yeerly, or quarterly, on the sth of January, Sth of April, St h of July. and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to Members. I'ersone, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as Members, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office, en or before tha day. So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As surance ois Lite, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shows to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following clusitication may be made:— lit. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from premiums and other prohts is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock. holders. Yd. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. :kl. Mice* of a strictly mutual character, where the whol of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re sorted to, yet its advantages have been an well appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed £49,000. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing hate been reduced 1 , 0211 Y-TWO AND A HALF per Cent.
