N consequence of the great increase of Letters containing Coin, it has become necessary, in order to pre vent the total interruption of the Service, to discontinue the system which has hitherto prevailed of entering the Addresses of stick Letters, and taking receipts for them on delivery to the owners. The practice, therefore, of entering such Letters as Money Letters will cease on and after the Ist of January, 1840 ; after which time, parties having occasion to transmit small sums in cash, are recommended to make usa of the MONEY ORDER OFFICE, where they will incur no risk, while those who may desire to remit Bank Notes, or Drafts payable to Bearer, are requested to cut them in half, sending each half, if possible, by two different Posts. In the case of Bank Notes, or Bank Port Bills being sent, the Numbers, Dates, and Amounts should be carefully taken. Money Orders for Sums under 51. are granted by every Post Town upon every other Post Town in the United King dom on application at the various Offices. By command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary.

I now say that, fortunately I was induced to try Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills; and, with truth, I assure yourself and the pub lic that, in less than 24 hours, I was free from pain; and by the time 1 had take n h a lf a b ox , the inflamation and swelling h a d di sappea red. I have the pleasure of adding that my general health has in no way suffered, and that the effects of Blab's Pills were imperceptible. I am, Sir,your obedient servant, THE CHEVALIER DE LA GARDE. The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this Medicine are universally accompanied by the fact, that no inconvenienc e of any dirt attends its administration, but that the patient, without feeling the operation of the medicine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced previous to being afflicted with this disease; and in all cases of acute suffering , g reat relief is obtain ed in afew hours, and a cure is generally effected in two or three days.

The Vesuvius steam frigate, under charge of Mr. Henderson, having recently taken in her engines at Glasgow, arrived yesterday from Plymouth, on her way to Woolwich, whither she proceeded to-day, to be fitted for sea.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. There does not appear to have been anything worthy of no tice done on the Chester Cup since our quotations ;with the ex ception of Lanercost backed on Wednesday night at 25 to 1, to a large sum; consequently the same offers may be considered to continue. Respecting the Derby there is a desire to back }3rother to Euclid, but few will lay ; he is decidedly premier, and 15 to 4, we think, could scarcely be had for a round sum. The Brother to Melbourne has been fancied to-day; 1,000 to 20 taken, and some money laid between him and Mr. Houlds worth. 33 to 1 freely offered against Ottoman. THE OAKS. The dowufal of Crucifix is at last pretty clear ; she no longer reigns " fist favourite." A large bet was laid on Wednesday that Currency beat her ; 10 to 1 offered against this most un doubtedly best two-year-old that has appeared for a period beyond every-day memory.

The followii " To the Secretary of the Dundee Anti Corn-law Association. " Kinloch, Dec. ( ;„ 1839, " SIR-I am glad to inform you that Lon t Kinnaird has agreed to become a member of th, Dundee Anti-Corn-law Association. The copy of his letter annexed explains his sentiments on the ste )ject. In a previous letter from his Lordship he say v, I hope you will not forget , that you may comm on , I my ser vices, and coun t upon my most hearty co-opera Lion in any plan which may be considered advisable to :secure the speedy and entire abolition of the Corn-laws— a measure of the very greatest importance at the presen ,t moment, when the only chance of securing our trade from ruin is by extending our commercial relations. As the Carse of Gowrie is chiefly a corn-growing district, %he rents there would be more likely to be affected by a repeal of the Corn-laws than in any other part of Scot land ; and of this Lord Kinnaird is quite aware, which makes his support the more valuable to us, and the m sre credit able to himself,—Your's faithfully, " KINL OCH." " itossie Priory, Dec.. i, 1839. "My dear Sir—You may put my name down as a member of the Dundee Anti-Corn law Association, as I consider that your name and that of the Vice- President, with whom I am acquainted, is a sufficient guarantee to me that the sole object of the Associatior f is to ob tain the repeal of the present Corn-laws by every rea sonable and constitutional means without resor :Eng to vio lence, either in language, or otherwise ; and, in joining it, I take it for granted that the Association is-. proposed to advocate the repeal, or rather reduction, oil the pro tective duties. Would you allow me to sugg wit to the Committee of the Association that some tho usands of copies of the able speech and report of Dr. Bo , lwring, as well as other facts proving the fallacy of the Corn-laws, should be published and distributed in every vi line and farm-house in the neighbourhood, us I am satisfied that many of the intelligent agriculturists wou Id by this means be convinced of the injurious effects of the pre sent Corn-laws, and that they are not benefit cd by the high price of food and other necessaries. " Believe me, my dear Sir, your's faithf. ally, " KINNAIRD." A CHARTIST MANCEU'VR.E. A curious scene was exhibited in the Coffee House Assembly Room, in this city, on Monday evening last. A Rev. Mr. Rogers, the Agent of a Society in London, which has taken upon itself to supply the wmts caused by the non-passing of Sir Andrew Agnew's Sabbath day Observance Bill, visited this city last we ek for the purpose of extending the operations of the Society which pays him for attention to its concerns. On Sunday he preached in St. Cuthbert's Church in favour of the object of the Society ; and, on Monday, it was :In nounced a public meeting would be held in the CoTee! House Assembly 'Room, for the purpose of prop noting a .‘ better observance of the Lord's Day." On Monday evening a meeting was held aceoP-dingly ; but, evidently to the dismay of Mr. Rogers and others, the meeting was attended most numerously by tl iat very class for whose benefit the Society affects most .concern, the working men. Before the hour appointed far taking the chair, the room was almost entirely filled by work ing men—principally weavers; and amongst them was discovered the redoubtable Dr. John Taylor, Mr. George Julian Harney, and Mr. Cardo, all late mem bers of the National Convention, and other leaders of the Chartist body. It was soon whispered abou t that Dr. Taylor intended to address the meeting, and many persons were foolish enough to expect there wouhl he a row. In consequence of this, a number of ladiet , who were present, made a speedy retreat, and some gentle men were anxious enough to follow their example. The persons who had called the meeting took their places on the platform ; and soon afterwards proceeded with the business of the evening. The, first thing, of course, was to elect a chairman ; and T. H. Graham, Esq., of Edmond Castle, was proposed to fill that office. The Chartists, however, were determined to have a Chairman of their own ; and they accoreingly proposed Mr. Wm. Hall, a letter-press printer, and carried him by an immense majority. The promoters of the meeting then proceeded with their statements, without the slightest interruption ; but they broLglit forward no resolutions. The meeting was then .id dresscd by Mr. Armstrong, (a weaver) Dr. Tayor, Harney, and Cardo, and resolutions carried totally op posed to the objects for which the meeting had been called, and then, to crown the whole, persons were sta tioned at the door by the Chartists to make a collec tion for the defence of Mr. Frost charged with high treason at Newport When we see the rich relieving their household ser vants from all labour on the Sunday,—making their own fires, cooking their own victuals, and walking in stead of riding to church, we shall believe that they are sincere in wishing to see a strict observance of the Sabbath.—Carlisle Journal. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. (From the Mornins. Chronicle.) The grapes are sour ! The Standard condescends to prepare the Tories—who have been getting up the steam for Sir Robert Peel, by appeals to the lowest prejudices, by libelling the Queen, and by incitements to agitate for a repeal of the Emancipation Act—for the knowledge that they have laboured in Bain, as the great Tory leader does not deem the conjunction fa vourable for a dash at Downing -street. The great Con servative meetings have been wasting their sweetness on the desert air. " Sir Robert," quoth the Standard, " has shown that he will answer his country's call ; but we may be sure that he will not precipitate or even invite it, and that he will even wait until his obedience shall, to his own sound judg ment, be beat to his country% advantage. Short govern ments are always injurious to public interests— ' Non parcit populis regnum breve.' Sir Robert Peel will be sure of a durable Conservative Administration before he will expose the country to the inconvenience necessarily attendant upon all Ministerial changes." And we have a most edifying reminifcmce of the kill ing work Sir Robert went through to no purpose in 1835. It remains to be seen how this announcement will be stomached by the host of rabid speechifiers who have been labouring so hard to serve Sir Robert, as they supposed. if the Right Honourable Baronet had acted in a more manly manner, and discountenanced the mad pranks of the ultra-Tories in the outset, he might have obtained credit for the moderation he. now affects ; as it is, his hesitation will be attributed to a less honourable cause. Honesty is as often the best policy in politics as it is in affairs of ordinary life. We must say this in f a vour of the deluded Conservatives who have been toiling, as they thought, for Sir Robert—that it was his duty, as a public man, to set them right at once with regard to his own sentiments, if he disapproved of the course they were pursuing. To lie by and see a parcel of fanatics scatter firebrands about the country, an d then come forward at the twelfth hour, and avail himself of the mystery in which he has shrouded himself to disclaim his allies is, to say the least of it, paltry in the extreme. However, this is not our affair, but that of the Tories whom he has befooled. (From the Times.) We have long been aware of the strength which, though slumbering, lived, and yet lives, unimpaired, in the Protestant people of England ; but we own, that, until we received the intelligence which, during the last few days, the Whigs have been good enough to promul gate for the information and actmonition of mankind, we had no notion that this power was at all equal- to the results now anticipated and announced from it. Ve leap!, however, upon this high authority, that the ex mission of the pro-Popery Ministers is sought by the Protestants—th e wanton, the wild, the insolent, the in sulting, the intolerant, the inaolerable Protestants—for Cie purpose of making another revolution in the frame of the empire, and effecting the repeal of the Catholic Relief Bill. Whether this repeal is to precede or to fol !ow the announced attempt at t he deposition of her Ma- Foy, we are not yet accurately informed. Nor, to speak seriously, can we well make up our minds which of these two allegations—whether the charge of a design upon the religious constitution of the country, or the I cuarge of a design upon the person of its Sovereign-- is the more f a l se , gross , i mpu d ent, and infamous. 'But, t'or mischievous effect, the suggestion about the Relief Bill unquestionably bears away the palm, because there probably may be people foolish enough to believe that some of the Tory leaders are actually seeking that change ; whereas a removal of the Sovereign is a spe culation which nobody is so stupid as really to suppose that any human being entertains. That the Roman Catholic Relief Act has been made the instrument of considerable evils, will be disputed by few who are at all acquainted with the present working of the Irish franchise ; but even if those evils were the natural fruits of the measure, instead of being, as they are, the con sequences of its perversion and abuse by an unprincipled Ministry, still the repeal of the Relief Act would now be as hopeless in practice as it would be useless in prin ciple ; and this is so well known to public men of all denominations, that it would not be easy to find in either House of Parliament even so much as one couple of enthusiasts to propose and second the attempt. There may be, here and there, a provincial skirmisher or two who fancy that such a revolution would be of service ; but the great mass of the Conservative party, including the whole of its intelligence, would as soon propose the enactment of Mr. Owen's " social system." Even those who charge all our evils upon the enact ment of the Emancipation are fully aware that those evils will not now be removed by its repeal ; for, as Mr. Canning said to a man who proposed the return to pa per money by way of cure for the inconveniences occa sioned by the adoption of the metallic medium, " It does not follow, that because you broke my leg by throwing me out of the window, you will make it whole by throwiog nsein again." Nor is this moderation of sentiment confined to the more temperate, intellectual, and influential of 4hia, Tories. - The most ardent - ottiretr lio4y, the Pretes t/Eiji of Ireland, have shown themselves ready to sacri fice their naturally strong prejudices to the advice of their leaders and general temper of the times. We need only appeal to the readiness with which the Orange men, the extreme champions of the anti-Popish party, disbanded their lodges, and renounced their combina tions, on the mere suggestion of their Sovereign. If there had been a design among the Protestants to re peal the Relief Bill, why should they have deferred that object till their restoration to government ? For it is not pretended that the wish of repeal exists among those individuals of the party who are likely to be the holders of office ; on the contrary, the allegation is, that they, and especially Sir R. Peel, so far from aiding the design by their official influence, will be forced into it, most reluctantly, by the pressure of their supporters from without. If this pressure will be so potent then, why has it so little operation now ? 'Why do not the Duke and Sir Robert Peel at once obey their fate? A thou sand restraints would fetter them in office from which in opposition they are free. How is it that all " the Protestant bigots" do not avail themselves of this immediate advantage? For this simple reason, that the design imputed to them has no existence but in the fables of the Popish Radicals. It may be very true, that if the Papists had powers of mischief com mensurate with their inclin,s.tion for it, they would pre sently disfranchise and proscribe the whole race of Pro testants. But though that be the Popish, it is not the Protestant spirit ; the Protestants desire no restraint upon their neighbours but for the simple purpose of their own protection. As soon as the law shall have reco vered its supremacy in Ireland—as soon as there shall be an end to the impression produced by Whig misrule, that the institutions of the State,:the endowment of the Church, and the safety of person and property, arc va lueless to the Government, except as the subjects of sacri fice and barterin the compact forPopish support, there will be little to fear from the movements of the Roman Catho lics. Until the Whigs came into office, the affairs of Ireland were working with perfect safety under the Relief Bill, inasmuch that in the following season, in the year 1830, as we reminded our readers the other day, the Duke of Wellington, then first Minister of the Crown, was enabled very greatly to reduce the military force sta tioned in that kingdom. We at the same time reminded our readers, that Major Warburton, who for many years was Inspector of Connaught, and afterwards De puty Inspector-General of the whole Irish constabulary, and whose means of knowledge were therefore accurate and extensive, told the Lords' Committee of last Session, that so far from any increase of disturbance, " there was a decided improvement of public feeling in the autumn and winter which followed the Relief Bill." And this is the more remarkable, because Ireland bad not then obtained the benefit of the Tithe Commutation Bill, which her selfish enemies so long withheld from her, in spite of the efforts and entreaties of the whole Conservative party. Little more then can be requisite, when the immediate mischief of the Whig dynasty shall have passed away, than to make provision against any unfair working of the Constitution as already by law established. For this purpose—for the purpose not of rescinding the Relief Bill, but of fulfilling its spirit —tw o things seem to be required—tho one affecting the Roman Catholic representatives, the other affecting the Roman Catholic constituencies. What is wanted with respect to the representatives is a security (if, indeed, there is ingenuity enough in man to devise any fence which the cunning of the Papists will not contrive to slip through) against the perver sion of the Parliamentary oath, as now taken and broken, by some perhaps in error, but assuredly by many in wil fulness. The other requisite, that which relates to the electors, is . the provision of some guard, such as we sug gested to our readers in the Tinies of the 10th instant, against that manufacture of fictitious votes, which now enable the Roman Catholic priests to swamp so many of the constituencies. The Protestants arc not so feeble or so faint-hearted as to need, in these days, the assis tance of religious penalties or exclusions, or the distur bance of the great principles of national settlement. The Church of Rome may preach the repeal of the articles of Union ; but the Church of England wants not the repeal of the Emancipation Act. (From the Horning Advertiser.) Lord Melbourne's announcement that it is the de termination of Government to bring a Bill into Parlia ment, in the approaching Session, for the purpos O abolishing the civil jurisdiction of the Ecclesiast Courts, is one which ought to inspire the real friends of the Church with feelings of the highest gratification. A measure which would conduce more largely to her best interests, it were impossible for the warmest ad mirer of whom she can boast, to devise. Episcopacy, as an established religion, has suffered more seriously from the tyrannical and iniquitous proceedings which, I certain of her haughty clergy, availing themselves of the power to do so conferred upon them by these Cour es, have instituted against Dissenters, th an f rom a ny other cause that could be named. Our columns, and the 1. columns of our Liberal Contemporaries, have for the last three months borne ample testimony to this fact, by what has appeared in them relative to the living martyrdom of a Chelmsford ehairch-rate recusant ; and it is now, we believe, beyond all doubt that the ' fate of the conscientious confessor alluded to will be shared, ere a month has elapsed, by Mr. Baines, of Leicester ; in which case the Church will again bring on herself, through means of the civil jurisdiction con ferred on her by the counts in (pc stion, such a measure of unpopularity as will endanger her very existence as an established religion. We bee; to remind the clerical inquisitors who institute proceeetings against those honest Dissenters whose consciences wiill not suffer them to pay Church -rates, that the nineteetb century forms no part of the dark ages when men looked up to the Church with a superstitious reverence, ar d submitted without a murmur, as well as without an attempt at resistance, t o any exaction, however monstrooni in principle and exorbi tant in amount, which the priests thought fit to m a k e. The principles of religious as twell as of civil liberty are now somewhat better understood than they were in those days, or even than they wer a for fifty years after the Reformation. Instead of to king the dictum of the Church, as delivered by a pampered priesthood —wee speak of the dignitaries of ou r State religion —men have DOW learnt the grand secret (of taking all their notions on ecclesiastical matters fro In the Bible, and from the Bible alone. If, therefore, our High Church priesthood imagine that they are to catry out prin c ipl es w hi c h re ceive no sanction from Scripture, and which were only the products of a corrupt ecclesiastical system in the dark ages, they will soon make the discovery that they are labouring under a grievous mistake. Finding that the great bulk of the community have repudiated the right of the Church to impose taxes on them, the High Church priesthood may have recourse, as they have al ready had recourse in the case of Mr. Thorogood, to the more stern logic of imprisonments, co-enduring a s to their term with the lives of the individuals incarce rated ; but even then they will find their object is as far from being gained as ever. They will find that so far from the Dissenters yielding to the fear of are persons who k n ow no t, imprisonment, they where conscience is concerned, what the fear of man or any body ofmen is, and the more th e c om p u l sory ap plied to them, the more devoted do they process becorn is e in their attachment to their principles, and bold and resolute in their assertion of th e m . We speak ad visedly w h e n we state, that there are at this m oment num bers of Dissenters in all parts of the country, who, rather than incur the guilt of paying Church rates, will ' take joyfully the spoiling of their goods, and submit to be immured within the walls of a dungeon, even should they enter that dungeon with the probability of its be coming their grave. With, then, the knowledge of this fact, we wait with some impatience to see what course of action the High Church party will adopt, when Go vernment shall bring into Parliament its intended naea- A NEW WORE /Y THOMAS HOOD, Ent.
