To effect this object, use will be made of existing or projected lines, as far as practienple, and the chain of co:nut:mica- Win will be completed by throwing out new lines, where requisite. Commencing-at-Biirningl•am, It i proposed to use the Birmingham and Derby Railway as far as Whitacre, whence a new line, about 29 miles in length, will be made, passing through Ashby-de-la-Zoitch and Castle Donnington, to the Long Eaton or Sawley Station on the Mid land Counties Railway The communication being fling perfect to Nottingham, it will be earned , orward as far as Gainsborougb, either by the propose& Not tingham and Gainaborough Railway, or by a line springing oat of the line rim Nottingham to Lincoln, for which an Act was obtained by the Midland Counties Company during the last session of Parliament. Front Galnshorough this railway will proceed to Barton-on-the number, or New Holland, in the immediate vicinity of Hull, thereby rendering complete and entire the chain of communication between Birmingham and Hull. ily this project the advantages will result to the publie of a Direct line from Birmingham to Nottingham, Birmingham to Gainsborongh, and from Birmingham to Hull; and by Means of the proposed South Staffordshire Junction Railway, and the Intended extension to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Alrewas, a direct lino from Wolverhampton and Dudley to Nottingham. and the other towns already enumerated. The support of several companies will be enlisted In favour of the line, which, together with Its own merits, will ensure its success in Parliament. .. Asa considerable portion of the line of eommunication Is already Made, or in progrosq, the time mrired for the completion of this great national undertaking will be materially aliertened. Independently of the advantages to be derived by a direct commu nication between the important seaport of Hull and the mining and manufacturing districts of Warwickshire and Staffordshire, a large frame timber, *ern, metals, &c., may be confidently expected. The 'avenue of the Company, in addition, will be derived from the great thorough traffic It'om Birmingham and the midland counties to Nottingham and Gainshorough, and the immense traffic from Bir mingham to hull, the port at which the exports are shipped to Itun burgh, the German States, and the North of Zurope ; and from the con , oyanee of merchandise, agricultural produce, and settle from the southern, western, and midland counties. A preference will be given in the allotment of shares to landowners en the line, and other local proprietors, as well as to directors and shareholders in railways interested In supporting this undertaking. No subscriber will be liable beyond the amount of the deposit anti! the let is obtained. and then not beyond the amount of his sabseription. The usual power will be taken to allow interest at the rate of four per sent. from the time et payment sipmi each call until the opening at the lines. . . ..... No applications will be attended to without a reference to a member of the Committee, a banker, or the solicitors to this Company. The Sn scribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be sxecuteml when the bankers' receipts are excbanged for scrip certifi cates. cf which drre notice will be given ; and the deposits paid by any party making default in the execution of those deeds will be for feited.

The provinces which the railway will unite were found by the census of 1844 to comprise a population of 2,188,551, and the dis tricts which it will traverse are situated in the heart of Belgium, and comprise an area of 165 square miles. The entire length of the Bel gians Grand Junction Railway will be 102 English miles, and the in variable rule cf the Belgian Govensment.not to permit any competing lines, must necessarily ensue to this Company the entire traffic of the country through which this line will pass. This portion of the country is emphatically termed the Granary of Belgium, and, in addition t • its vast agricultural produce, is rich In ironstone, lead, marble, stone, and slate quarries. It has also nume rous distilleries, extensive breweries, ironworks, and large manufac tories of porcelain, glass, paper, beetroot anger, gunpowder, &c. The great coal-fields of Charleroi and Liege, which arc the most ex tensive in Belgium, will, by means of this line, be enabled to supply all parts of the kingdom at a very reduced rite.

Morning . 3 minutes situ 1 t Ereaing .. 21 nalnuks :Styx 1 4A4, $ I‘,t . . 1 4 1, r • ' t • )I^ • ;64* "g" are the two great constitutional monarchies of Europe, the mo dels of civilisation, justice, and mercy, to stand by heedless of the universal cry for a change, and be outdone by their neighbours, merely to sere the interests of a favoured and by no means a numerous party in the State? Sir R. PEEL has admitted, in the mos explicit terms, that he does not approve of the corn-laws. He has now the best means he could de sire to show why. Let him, therefore, seize the opportunity, throw open the ports at once, and trust to the people who— m the figurative and strong language of Mr. COBDEN—will heartily join with him, " put their backs against the gates, and keep them open." Many of the clergymen of the Establishment complain of the increase of Dissent, of the apathy of their flocks in reli gious matters, and of the great difficulty in getting the lower classes to attend the parish churches. They even im pute blame to the Dissenting clergy, and charge them with insidious schemes for alienating their flocks from the Episcopal Church, solely fur their own selfish interests, and wonder that men who never saw Oxford or Cambridge should become captivating preachers, and draw larger audiences than those imbued with all the learning of the ancients, and a thorough knowledge of theological controversies. But there is no cause for wonder in the matter. The Dissenting clergyman mixes with his people, he knows their feelings and habits, he condescends to teach them in their own way, encouragespun day.schools and also day-schools, and identifies the interests of his flock with his own. These circumstances, together with the very opposite conduct of a great majority of the established clergy, have encouraged secession. The fault lies entirely with the Church. It is gratifying, therefore, to find exceptions to the general rule, to hear of parsons who are not afraid of imparting knowledge to the labouring po pulation—who direct and encourage their humble scientific pursuits, and make use of their own high position in society, for promoting at the same time a religious feeling and a sound system of education. We have therefore read with great delight an introductory lecture, lately delivered to the Mechanics' Institution of Ashford, in Kent, by the Rev. Jonx Duwror, M.A., Rector of Warehorne. It is a perfect model for addresses of this description, whether as regards the eloquence, the good sem e, the kindly feeling, and the liberal spirit which pervade it throughout. Even, as a source of enjoyment, he justly regards learning as above all price—a fact so evident that he lays it. down as an axiom no more to be disputed than the first principles of Euclid. " I take for granted," says he, " that a proper cultiva tion of the mind must ensure happiness, both individual and relative. The beneficent Author of our being con templated a purpose in this gift to man, willed it for good, and, I assume, that men only act rationally when they embrace all practicable means which their time and cir cumstances permit, in storing their minds with profitable knowledge—with that which will benefit themselves, and tell with advantage on the many around them." After briefly adverting to the folly of those who thus neglect the gifts of PROVIDENCE—who enfeeble their minds by drink ing, or the giddy vortex of amusements, who finally become a prey to hypochondria, and sink into a state of inanition, he adds :—" How different is the attitude of that mind whose powers are enriched with wisdom l—breaking asunder the bonds by which superstition and ignorance had enslaved the understanding, and pouring a flood of light, and reason, and comfort, where before darkness, and error, and de spondency had prevailed." And further on—" I must express my belief that no indiVidual knows the full extent of the resources and riches of his own mind till he summon them to his aid, or circumstances call them into action. Difficulties often indeed form the character, and though num bers sink under them, forgotten and unknown, some enjoy the fruits of a successful issue; and a sun struggling with the ch uds that entangle its progress in the heavens is a spec Lade that may well command admiration. Let then the waves of truth, the indissoluble, the immutable, and eternal truth, roll far and wide; they will gladden and enrich, not desolate or destroy; and, let it not be forgotten, that in exhibiting the fruits of our enterprise we present gems of truth not our own, but which belong to the Great First Cause." The great benefits to be derived from Mechanics' Institutes he points out in glowing language, and not the least gratifying feature in the address is the thorough acquaintance of the speaker with his audience—a proof that he attends to his duties as a minister, while he inculcates the lessons of human wisdom. We, therefore, make no apology for this long extract. It combines truth with a fervent eloquence which none can read unmoved. " In our times experimental science is accessible to the many, and no longer the monopoly of the few ; the hieroglyphics which perplexed their studies are blotted out, and it is the unlettered lan guage of the honest and faithful treasurers of knowledge, that they will be happy to see those around them happy. Generally avail able, the literature of science is to be acquired in those important and useful schools of instruction, Mechanics' Institutes, where none need be ashamed to reap a laurel or cull a wreath, and which, me thinks, if wisely governed, and with libraries carefully selected, all who can, are called upon to support. They are in themselves, when founded on right principles, excellent and capable of immense good—with the abuse of the principle I am not called upon to contend, neither have Ito grapple with a shadow or lay a ghost in the ocean. It is with facts I have to deal. You repose with confidence on the pillar of scriptural and eternal truth, at *nee illimitable and incalculable, and on that majestic column your house leans; and I much mistake, indeed, if amongst you the tavern or the dram.shop can enrol a single victim. Drinking, when carried to the least excess; is a crime in itself, and the fruitful parent of many more. No ! Mechanics' Institutes present a far different muster-roll, and wear a better livery. The gates of knoiv. ledge are shut against none who want admission, and the entrance trtile i rgeZiealtiaa:3l3llVtiiiitilereattietrOYM.' d 'Z r eitiiTe a pleasure to know what we were ignorant of, to have our feelings of wonder called forth, how pure a delight of this very kind does mechanical and chemical science hold out to its students! Some arts and manufactures are unquestionably ripe for great improvements, and it is not too much to believe that some of you will find your newly acquired knowledge of immediate use— others of you will perhaps have to wait for an opportunity, but let not this be a source of discouragement. ' PuNie granaties,' says Chesterfield, ' are filled in plentiful years, not that it is known that the next, or a second, or a third year will prove a scarce one, but that it is known the time will come when the grain will be wanted.' May the tidal wave of science expand wider and wider! and like the golden arrow, which, expanded by the sun, Sew from Demavend to the ; Oxus, may It pervade the British dominions from circumference to centre! Surely, then, those whom Divine Providence has placed in a superior circle, who possess advantages from which the working classes must necessarily be for ever excluded, cannot be so wanting to themselves as to with hold from others the key of knowledge. Their condition in life— the immunities they enjoy —the resources they can command, with leisure to enjoy their privileges, weigh down the scale immensely in their favour. And oh ! what treasures of happiness may be won by being kind, and gentle, and liberal, for the weal of huma nity, though it may move in some lower orbit ! Besides, is this a time for an opposite conduct, when a mental earthquake thrills through the body politic li—When the 'spirit of active observa. tion is now so widely gone forth that its progress can no longer be suspended ?' Is this a period to withhold support, when good sense, intelligence, and Christian principle in the many are, under Providence, to be our best security, our shield and buckler? No! no ! this is your motto—' Wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times;' and inscribe on your banner the celestial sign in the vision of Constantine on the night preceding the battle of the Milvian Brie ge, T'et ra) Y 3to4—By this conquer." We•have room for only one more extract, but it is neces sary as a lesson to that bigoted class, who would check the progress of general knowledge, and keep the lower classes hi ignorance for the security of those above them " I ask you cf what use is science, unless it be imparted to those, to whom it may prove useful, and who are likely to use it ? Will it injuie 'the higher classes of society, that the artisan is taught to employ his implements to the best advantage, and see his way clearly ? Can they experience loss if the operative manufacturer be taught principles, mid is instructed in discoveries by which he may uphold his country's rank, bear away the palm of merit from the markets of Europe, and compete with continental nations ? We may remain at rest, but the world will move around us. And, can it, let me ask, weaken the bonds of society, that the spells of ignorance and superstition should be broken ? Will the miner cut our throats because he is instructed in his operatims, and taught the nature of the fire and choke-damps, and how these that wage war against his life may be subdued? I think not. Will any one attempt to deny that if a carpenter, or a bricklayer, understands the principles of practical mathematics and mechanics, he will not execute Ws master's orders better than the perfectly ignorant and uninformed ? Will not the bleacher and dyer be better qualified to go through their work, with a little knowledge of chemistry ? And will not the sailor be improved in his profession, who possesses some information in geography and astronomy P Nay, wil, not the man only having a pot to boil, be sure to learn from science a lesson which will enable him to cook his scanty pittance better, save his fuel, and both vary his dish and improve it P" Madrid journals of the 2 - 2 d have been received. It was generally understood that the Cortes would be assembled about the 15th of December, and that several Government measures of importance would be laid before them—among others the new tariff; The Eco del Comercio states that the Finance Minister had come to an uderstanding with his colleagues relative to the introduction of foreign manu factured cotton, as well as several other articles either now prohibited or subjected to an excessive duty. The negotia tions with the Court of Rome on Church attains., according to the last accounts, had made little progress, and no satis factory result was expected. No official quotations of stock were made on the Bourse. The accounts from Paris of the state of the Stock and Share Market, on Tuesday, are more favourable. At the commencement of business securities were lower than en the previous day, but a change gradually took place before the close. The Three per Cents. rose 25c. and the Fives 20c. for the Account. The Share Market was also firmer, and the depression of the last week beginning to wear off. The papers are chiefly occupied still with the affairs of Algeria, and published at great length the official dispatches of General LAMORICIERE, giving accounts of the late battles with the Arabs. They add little, however, to the previous intelligence, but, on the whole, are more favourable to the French. LAMORICIERE was successful in dispersing the Ka byle troops, and made a number of them prisoners, and, to his honour, restrained the fury of the French troops, who seemed disposed to take vengeance on them for the death t f their comrades ; but it is only fair to state that ARD-EL- KADER had set the good example. Captain DE COGNORD, said to have been beheaded by order of Ano-EL-Kainn, was taken prisoner is it h the troops under his command, and, according to his own account, has been treated well. The French fought bravely to the last. " Not seeing the infantry arrive," says this gallant officer, "and abandoned to my own resources, which consi ted of about sixty men, infantry and cavalry almost dismounted, I prepared to defend the position which I occupied so long as I should have a man left. We were here assailed for at least an hour and a half. At each instant my men fell mortally wounded, and' at length I had only 12 to 15 combatants. At this moment I received three balls, and fell: The enemy, seeing no snore officers, set up loud shouts, charged us in every direction, and carried our position. A few seconds-afterwards I was raised in a senseless state, having also received two wounds feom a yatagan, and was carried away as a prisoner by a captain of the regular spaliis. I annex to my letter a list of the men who were taker. pri,oners. In the deteelnetrit e!' Cs; int-n of 2d I fu , sars node: iny orders, there remained onlv't Mart'!- chaux.-des-Itgi3 lara:t r and BALL:ILI:, and 1 0 privates. ABD-ED-KADER has given orders to all his chiefs to treat us with humanity, and up to the present time we rasa only to congratulate ourselves on their con. duct towards us." The number of French soldiers taken altogether amounted to about one hundred, all more or less wounded. In the skirmishes I:ftetwards, which were continued for three or four days, when LA3IOItICIERIL com manded in person, ADD -EL-KADER does not appear to have taken any active part, chiefly on account of the nature of the country, where his cavalry could not be used with effect. According to the Frelch General's account, this gave great offence to the Kabyles, and the Emir retreated amidst the " hooting and hisiing o allies whom he had induced to rise in his favour, and sacrificed at the moment when they were fighting his . battle." On these results, and the state of the country near Oran, the Journal des Debuts makes the follow ing remarks " Everybody must praise the General for his humanity and for having so nobly formed a contrast between the French character and that of the barbarians of Africa. Abd-el-Kader, who had passed the gorge of Ain Kebira, retired toward Tafna, but he yet remained upon the left bank of that river. It was not known whether he would cross it to advance' in the direction of Tlemcen' or of Mascara. General Lamoriciere announces his intention of marching on the 18th, in order to follow the Emir, with his di. vision,•and the whole of his cavalry (consisting of 1,000 men). " The whole of the tribe of Beni Amer is in a state of defection. The Beni Amer Gharabas (those of the west of the Isser) had already joined the Emir when he showed himself upon the right bank of the Talmo, before the arrival of General Lamoriciere. The vt hole of the tribes of the sub-division of Mascara are likewise in revolt. Colonel Ger)? (lately appointed Major-General). after having provisioned the fort of Tiaret, at the extremity of the Tell, is going to operate in the interior, less for the purpose of obtaining delusive submissions than to combine his movements with those of the other generals, and oppose those of the Emlr, at the same time taking advantage of any occasions which may present item selves to chastise the rebels whilst on his march. The enthusiasm and ' martial madness' which has suddenly seized the Arabs will die away of itself, when the Emir and his Khalifas are driven back into Morocco. It Is the capture of the Eieir that our generals should ahn at principally, and it is with that object that France is now sending reinforcements to Algeria." None of the papers consider the advantnges pined by LA ➢tottlClEllE of great importance. The Constitutionnd says: —"A considerable advantage has been gained by General LAmonitctErtr, but it has not all the great impoi tance that was attributed to it at the tirst moment." The Presse merely observes that "the moral result . f these combats appears t 1 have been considerable; the ascendancy of ABD-EL-KADER will certainly sutler fr,.,m the conduct of this chief, and his precipitate flight at the moment when the tribes whom he bad induced to rise were fighting for him." The National, after expressing its admiration at the modest and unassuming report of General LAMORICIERE, and the brave conduct of the French troops, proceeds to abuse the Government for having permitted the power of AIM-EL-KADEIt to increase, and to r ndcr necessary these heroic struggles, instead of crushing him at once when his fate as a refugee in Morocco was in its hands. We subjoin additional extracts front the papers : • " A Royal ordonnance, dated Oct. IS, has just been published, opening to the Minister of War an extraordinary credit of 4,471,929 f., for urgent and unforeseen expenses, rendered indis pensably necessary by the late events in Algeria.' " "The Minister of War has issued an order for officers and sol ders of all ranks, attached to the arm; of Africa, to return imam. diatcly to Algeria." " The France states, on what it calls official authority, that the marriage of the sister of the Duke of Bordeaux with the Prince of Lucca is to take place at Frohsdorf, on Nov. 10. The newly married couple are to spend the winter in Lucca." " The Gazette de Berne announces, as the general result of the elections in that town, the return of twenty-seven new Mernb , rs to the Grand Council, of whora nineteen are of the Radical party. The Opposition is thus increased from forty-two to 61, without reckoning such changes of sides as may yet take place among the old Members. The Conservatives have lost some of their marked men, such as Messrs. Kneehtehofer, Tschabold, and Fetacherin." " A letter from Berlin, Oct. 9.3,says :-` Yesterday a deputation of four of the chief merchants of this place had an audience of the Minister of State, the heed of the hank, to request him to alle viate the financial crisis which pressed on the market. The Mi nister, it is said, received their demand very favourably, and pro- mimed to advance 3 : 000,000 of thalers, but only at the rate of 5,000 at a time. He stated at the same time that the bank had already advanced or discounted not less than 23,000,000 thalers.' " On the Paris Bourse, on Tuesday, the Three per Cents. closed at 82f. 45c.

MORTALITY IN TILE METnorous.—The number of deaths during the week ending Saturday, Oct. 25, was 774, being 3 more than in the previous week. 111ea&es have become less fatal, the number of deaths under that head having fallen oin 71 to 52. The number of violent deaths was 11, of vbich 4 were from fractures and contusions, 3 from burns and scalds, and the rest from hanging and poison. There were 3 suicides. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) There were three cases set down for trial this morning, but the records were withdrawn, the differences having been settled between the parties. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN RE CAROLINE RARRATT. This insolvent, who was described as a teacher of music, was brought up in custody from the County Prison, miter petition to be discharged. Mr. Ronson, a solicitor, said tkat the insolvent was a married woman, and he did not consider it a case within the meaning of the Act. Her debts had been contracted before her marriage, and she had separate property, but which she had settled upon her hus band, without making any provision for the payment of her debts. She had been sued jointly with ber husband, and taken in execu tion. She had applied to a Judge at Chambers to be discharged, 1..1t he refused to interfere. Such a case was not provided for in the Act, nor did the registrars or official assignees know of a deci. sion on the point, but on principle she was not entitled, for it was clear she could not make a legal assignment - to the official assignee• The Learned COMMISSIONER.—Then on principle you ought not to have put her in prison ; you treated her then as a trader, and as a trader she is entitled to petition this Court. She must do all she can, that is to make such assignment es she can, and she will be bound by it in equity. It certainly is not a common occur rence, but if you put persons in prison there must be a legal means of getting them out. Mr. ROBSON submitted that a copy of the marriage settlement shou 7 d be annexed to the schedule, in order that the extent of the property might be ascertained. The insolvent had estimated the property in expectancy at 4,0001. The affairs, however, were in Chancery, and the Court had granted her an allowance of 1001 per annum for her own sole and separate use—this she had settled on her husband at her marriage. Since the action had been brought she had received 501., 251. of winch since she had been in' prison, and bad it paid over to her hutband. This was ,uch a disposal of property as would exclude her from the benefit of the Act 1 he Learned COMMISSIONEZ said he did not think it was. Mr. Rossmv then urged that a copy of the deed should be put In, and that the insolvent should make a general assignment of her interest. Tne CONWISHONER—I don't see how you can sell it even then; at all events she must do the best she can for the creditors. I can not order copies at the expcnce *f persons at the doors of a prison. Mr. Rossox said the insolvent had offered to set aside SO/. a year out of her income, and her debts were 2971 but out of 1001, a year certain professional engagements and incidenta's, the creditors did not think it sufficiently, more especially as they were in olved in the Chancery suit, as there must be another bill of re vivor to make :he official assignee and creditors, assignee pieties. There had been a b:11 of revivor only about six weeks back. COMMISSIONER—Hmv long has the suit been pending ? Mr ROBBON about fifteen years. The Learned COMAIMIONER said, under all the circumstances, and the offer being made to allow 30/. a-year till she came into possession of the property, he considered the insolvent entitled to her discharge out of custody. The insolvent, who is a young woman, and had an infant in her arms, was then discharged. Her husband was in Court, and had also petitioned the Court, but the case was adjourned. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Bum,ocx.) RAILWAY RCIIBEEIES. Charles Maynard, alias Charles Gregory Maynard, and Daniel Carnal, who stand indicted, the one for stealing property from the various railway stations in the metropolis, and the other for receiving that property, knowing it to be stolen, were called upon to plead. Maynard pleaded Not Guilty to all the counts in the indictment, and Garratt pleaded Guilty to two of the charges, and Not Guilty to the others. The record of a former conviction again , t Maynard, in IBM was put in, but the prisoner denied that he was the person therein mentioned. (Before Mt. Justice COLERIDGO and Mr. Justice Mama.) Edmund Adolphus Hughes, a dull, heavy-looking lad, about seventeen years of age, was indicted for a rape on the person of Emma Life, a child under the age of seven. Mr. Prt ndergsst was for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson for the defence. The facts of the case are unfit for publication. Mr. CLARKsoN addressed the jury for the prisoner, and Mr. Justice COLL/UDGE4UMMed up. The jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. IVEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER:) TV. Richardson, from the parish of Greenwich, was charged with stealing brushes, knives and forks, table mats, &c., the property of his master, John Dawson, furniture dealer. John Dawson discharged the prisoner from his employment in August last. About six days after, the 15th of August, had occa. Bien to be at the police.court. In consequence of what happened went with prisoner to Fiscrier's lodgings, Clturelt.street, _ltclit(l, and thr.re say; bushes, a plane, and a pillow, with his 'rtoolwriting on thcin. rrisGnc.r 6aid he had got the Inusi,es at Carter's, and the plane at a shop in Deptford. The pillow had been giyvn to Redmond, in whose house he was living at the time. Witness had never sold the planes; the brushes might have been sold. The knives and forks are by the same maker as a quantity still in his possession, end a quantity, same as those in possessiep of the prisoner, was deficient in his stock. Cross-examined—Witness finds the deficit in his stock tunic• counted for by his books. Witness was summoned to the police* court. Prisoner was; there also to support a summons against Re& mend. Witness at that time heard of the articles now in Courteetrl and wished to see them, but was told by the Magistrate that 8 search.warrant would be necessary. The prisoner inamediately said witness might go and examine them at his lodgings. John Carter is a furniture dealer, the father.in.law of the pri soner, to whom he has made over his business.

Cross.examined--This (that he bought them d his master) applies to the whole of the articles except the table-saats. ne s t prisoner said, had been given him by his mother on the 10th a August. By the jury (to the proseeutor)—What are your private marks on the brushes Having pointed these out, be was ask whether he would swear his foreman had not sold them Jxl° could not swear ; the foreman might have sold them. The jury Acquitted the prisoner. He was defended by Ballantine. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS' CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1845 The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, held at Man chester on Tuesday, was a proof, if any proof could be wanted, of the sttong feeling against the duty on corn which pervades the inhabitants of that great mart of industry and the populuus regions which surround it. It was attended by at least seven thousand persons of both sexes, and, as was justly said by Mr. COBDEN, might fairly claim pre-eminence over all:others of the kind, in its numbers, intelligence, and power. When we look at the state of the country, at the deficient crops of almost every description, the rise in the price of pro visions, and the sad winter prospect of the labouring classes, we may'only feel surprise that the assembly was not larger, that the language used by the speakers was not more strong, and the excitement against the obnoxious impost on the staff of life was not more visibly manifested. But these very cir cumstances only afford the greater hope and consolation. The people of England are not easily roused to mutiny against their rulers—they are not carried from their purpose by an ephemeral passion, nor inclined to dis turb the Government, so long as they can place any con fidence in its good intentions. For reasons such as these they wait only fir a demonstration on the part of the Cabinet, and every report furnished, either by the opponents or the advocates of the corn-laws, leads to the conviction that many days cannot elapse before the country shall know the whole secret. The people, therefore, wait patiently; and we only say let the Government beware, lest they try this patience too long, and rou•.e not only our working population, but the whole of the middle classes, to a state of excitement which may be directed against other monopolies than those in favour of the landowners. There are many other heavy and unfair taxes, of which they have reason to complain. Tea and sugar, almost as ne cessary as bread for the great bulk of the people, are enormously taxed, and these taxes fall chiefly on the industrious and ill• paid labourer. Why should the West India interest, to whom the enormous sum of twenty millions sterling has been paid as a set-off for all claims, be still a:lowed exclusive privileges, and draw out of the pockets of the people sums even still more enor mous ? Or why should tea be taxed a hundred per cent., that tax, too, falling almost entirely upon the unrepresented classes? The sums contributed in taxes like these to the Exchequer by the laned proprietors is a mere trifle. The question, in fact, will not bear examination, and we cannot therefore for a moment doubt the course which Sir ROBERT PEEL will take as rega7ds the present exigency. With the exception of France, all the States on the Continent—despotic as well as free—have already ' made provision against famine ; they have thrown open their ports ; they have issued ordonnances for admitting vessels carrying human food into their harbours free of port dues.
