Why it was a long apprettieeship for those 4 serve who were young, and those who were not he: go afraid might be in want of health and spirits toget They had certainly gained by the way ; and, ;non the whole, he did no: think there was any concern in, this We town that at the begin n i ng o f thi s new j . ear couhl 'a stock" with more hopeful prospects than they would is the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Cheers). They,liact./1.1 opposition shops set up to th em , th ey .hats had a goo. many such concerns, and .they had all failed. Thalia had been a concern for curing the distress% of the eO.Oll try by transporting people to other countries, fat that broke down—(flear, hear)—and latterly we 1.4 had a scheme, amongst others, for Oving peo pia potato-gardens instead of wages, and they were cabiedi " allotments," and that we heard no more abciae„ What would be the next opposition affair he did not know, but whatever it might happen to ten t one but it would assume the cloak of humanity, in order to deceive honest and not very shrewd people., -(Cheers.) Now, we had been charged with intolerance, ;because we had found fault with soma projects that had b( ten brought forward to remedy the distresses of the count 7. Why, if they quarrelled with them at all, it was be muse they had been ostentatious projects, brought forw? ;la! to cit. vert public atteriffon, and riot, as they believed,. with the real intention of serviug the object professed by. the pro. petinders.—(llear, hear.) Who could say :that the League had ever found fanit with private beisevolence or had ever stopped to quarrel with men onin i about to do good, and not seeking to proclaim trumpet-,.ongued their own goof works ? But it was when ins n who supported the corn-laws were found ostentatious,ll • pro pounding other schemes to meet a great political a I'd, it was then that they had a right to criticise and qua stifle the intelligence, at lea s t, o f t h ose parties, and to ask.how they could- profess to serve the people, while at th e t a rn* time, by their vo t es , t h ey were trying to starve and cm. poverish the people ?—(Cheers.) Ile must confess th. tt having been let a little behind the scenes in the condu et of these parties, he did suspect that a great number those who had got a reputation of being benevolent minded in public matters, were trying to start these false scents with the iew of leading the people off from) the question of the corn-laws.—(Cheers.) Ordinary in-. telligenee might teach them the utter futility of trying to benefit the people who, by their own legislatiown, were kept short of the necessaries of life. They told its that the people wanted water, and wanted good house 3. No doubt these were excellent adjuncts, and indeed abso lute requisites, to a civilised and comfortable state or existence ; but did they ever hear of people short of food keeping themselves clean or warm, or being com fortably housed ?—(lfear, hear.) What was the state of the people in the worst district of Edinburgh ? Were/ they inhabiting miserable hovels —were they wanting; of well-built houses ? No ; the very worst popula tion of all Edinburgh were inhabiting what were once the palaces of the nobility and Queen Regent of Scotland ; and if they would put the whole po-. pulation of London into Buckingham Palaces or Windsor Castles—if they kept that population on a short: allowance of the first necessaries of life, they would be ass degraded and debased as they were now in St. Giles's.-- (Cheers.) Now, he would charge with inconsistency,. and express his detestation of the motives of those whc'. he saw prominent in advocating better houses and a bettor supply of water to the people, and who at the same time denied them employment and food. He hoped he should always be ready to discriminate and give the meed or praise to those men who, whilst they were aiding, or at. least sanctioning, the remedying of the evils which they as free traders attacked, were also prominent in advo cating other ameliorations of the condition of the people.. —(Cheers.) He received a letter the other day from an old friend of his, and a fellow-labourer in those efforts. they made six or seven years ago in the cause of educa-. tion—he meant Mr. James Simpson, of Edinburgh —in. which he spoke in somewhat a tone of complaint of the. remarks which were made in Covent-garden Theatre. upon the subject of public baths. Now he (Mr. Cobden> should be anxious to pay the tribute of his highest. admiration to the conduct Mr. Simpson had pursued'. He had not prominently advocated free trade in corn ; but lie had been a silent contributor of his pound or so, to the League, and they knew that they had his good wishes. But if he or any one else thought they could promote the benefit of mankind, by giving their atten tion to other questions, why God speed to him, and he wished him well in his labours.—(Cheers.) He saw a great many working people present ; indeed, hew could. they assemble 5,000 or 6,000 people in that Ilah without having a great portion of those who worked' with skilled hands and heads fer their living ? Ands he never liked to omit saying a word to them on the state of their question, though it was difficult to say anything that should savour of novelty. But they had heard what Mr. Brown had told them of the condition of the people in the United States. He told them that every ;person there had seven pigs and five sheep, and that there were 14 horses to every family. Did it ever strike a working man what is the reason that every family has more horses, and every man has more pigs and sheep, and quarters of corn, in that country ? Why, it was simply for this reason, that there were more horses, and pigs, and sheep, and quarters of corn in that country, in proportion to the people, than there were in this country,—(fleal.) And was there any working man who had not carried his logic and argumentation a little further, and said to himself, " If there is less for the whole of the people of this country than there is in America, it is impossible. that each individual can have so much as each individual in America." And when somebody must go short, de pend upon it the short commons would fall upon the man who was the poorest in the laud.—(Hear.) Now, this seemed to him to illustrate what free trader s meant b y having corn and p rov i s i ons cheap; they meant to have, them plentiful. It was only a kind of conventional term. for "plenty," when they said "cheap ;" it would be a better term to use " plenty," instead of " cheapness"— indeed, as the old compilers of our Prayer-book did, when they called it sometimes plenty, and sometimes cheapness. But if they had not pigs, corn, and sheep in the land, the people could not eat them ; and the only way he was aware of was that of getting more into the land. True, some of the agriculturists told them (anti his friend Mr. Philips would bear out what he said),. that if they would only wait they would produce as much as the people wanted to eat. Now, they had waited for thirty years, and they had not done it ; and he thought they were playing the dogs in the m anger now, for they w ou ld ne i t h er do it themselves nor let other people do it.—(Loud cheers.) Well, they had had another turn of the wheel ; the wheel of fortune had gone round, and now they appeared to be on the upper spoke of the wheel, and the agriculturists. were down in the mud. The agricultural class was now the class that was sufferine. ' more than any in the :country fo r want o f food. Now, there was not. a more helpless class in the community than., the agricultural labourers they had not the means of com bination ; they never met to express their grievances they lived a solitary life ; and we heard nothing of their distresses except through those horrid outbreaks of in cendiary fires.—(hear, hear.) Well, if there was not another motive on earth to induce us to go on with this agitation, to get more food into the country in order that the people might have more food than they had now got, the condition of the agricultural labourer ought to excite us to continue those exertions.—(Cheers) Let it he re collected that this great community around them was committed before the world to the carrying out of this cause.— (Cheers.) This agitation had been cradled in. Manchester, and monopoly must be coffined in Man chester.—(Loud cheers.) Every age, every generation, had some distinguishing struggle that marked its his tory. In one century we had the contest for religious freedom— another century marks the era of political freedom—another century comes, and the great battle of commercial freedom has to be fought—(Cheers)— and Manchester, and those free cotton districts around it (he called it a free district because the cotton trade bad never been dandled by protection, and never owned its devotion to monopoly) —were pledged to take the lead in this great contest—a contest that had already become historical ; for it was marked upon our Parliamentary annals as one of the greatest of modern combinations.— (Cheers.) Tilt y could not draw back from this contest, but they must bring not merely disgrace upon them ' selves, but disgrace upon the nation, and prove them selves recreant from the very race from which they sprung. —(Applause.) It was not a mere contest for a few more pigs, a few more sheep, or a little more corn. If the mere physical, the material gain to which we were looking, was all that we had to hope from the trial of our principles, why it would be a sordid and mercenary con flict after all. No ; the triumph of free trade Was the triumph of pacific principles between all the nations of the earth.—(Cheers.) It was a blow, and a death-blow to the old system of diplomatic intrigues between the governments of countries.—(Che e rs.) It was m a ki n them, as the industrious f a bricators of this distri c t, an d g dors and merchants of this country, it was givi ng to their friend Mr. Brown, and such as him, the enthuse them the title-deeds by which they would secure to themselves and all nations the blessings of peace for all times.—(Loud cheers.) He saw in the distance —he might perhaps be dreaming—(No, no)--but he saw in the distance a world's revolution involved in the triumphs of free trade principles.—(Cheers.)

Ali! that word monopoly; if they could only get people to understand what it meant! Why then, if the very name was fixed on the back of a candidate, it would be suffi cient to secure his defeat at the poll,—(Cheers.) It was an odious word. It was a curious fact, but it was a word not known to our forefathers, the ancient Britons. Their Welsh lecturer had got a distinguished linguist to trans late it into Welsh, and after a good deal of study they turned it into a phrase which he again converted back into English, and it was " a one-handed bargain."— (Great laughter.) Our manufacturers and millowncrs sometimes shouted and hurrsted for this one-handed bar gain.

DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY from LONDON to YORK by LINCOLN. STATEMENT OF THE CASE AND MERITS OF THE ABOVE LINE OF RAILWAY. LOUTH -WESTERN RAILWAY EXTEN SION THROUGH LAMBETH. At a Preliminary Meeting of owner and occupiers of property upon or immediately contiguous to the projected line of railway to extend from the South-Western. Railway at Vauxhall to the Belvidere-road, Lambeth, adjoining the Hungerford Suspension bridge, held at the King's Head Hotel, Belvidere-road, Lambeth, on the Bth day of January, 1845, JOHN BALLARD BYRON, Esq., in the Chair, It was moved by JOHN STIR, Esq., seconded by THOMAS Gatssrt, Esq., and Resolved unanimously,—That the extension line of railway pro. posed to be carried by the South-West ern Company through Lambet to the Belvidere-road, appears to this meeting calculated to produce the most beneficial results to the int(vests of the district intended to be intersected, clearing away, as is suggested, a large portion of the worst-built and least valuable or the house property in the borough without interference with any buildings of importance, and tending to great improvement in the character of the erections that are likely to be substituted in contiguity to the line, in dependently of such as the Company must construct upon the site of the proposed station. It was also moved by THOMAS LErr, Esq., seconded by Faaxcis FELTOR, Esq., and Resolved unanirnously,—That the following gentlemen, viz., John Ballard Byron, Esq., William Hawes, Esq., --Harris, Esq., John Suir, Esq., William Cory, Esq., Thomas Grisscll, Esq., Francis Feltoe, Esq., and Joseph Elliott, Esq., be appointed to act as a Committee for the purpose of ascertaining the opinions of the several owners and occupiers of property to be affected by the proposed extension, and generally to facilitate its attainment; and such Committee is hereby particularly empowered and requested forthwith to prepare a memorial for signature of such owners and occupiers, and others whose interests may be concerned, and whose opinions are favourable to the undertaking, and to present such memorial to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and also to wait upon the Members for the county of Surrey and borough of Lambeth, with the view of explaining to them the local benefit inseparable from the undertaking, and to request their most strenuous support and influence in Parliament in favour of the same. The ,at?mle.named Comi;? t atte to have power to add others to their ntiMber. (Signed) JOHN BALLARD BYRON, Chairman. The thanks of the meeting to the Chairman for his efficient and impartial conduct in the Chair were then moved and seconded, and unanimously carried. Also, that the above resolutions be advi tised by the Committee. fact, that the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction Rail. way Companies have consented (after several years of opposition) to join in the formation of a new line from Stafford to Rugby, 48 miles 77 chains in length, at an estimated cost of about a million, for the sole purpose of effecting a saving of 9 miles 39 chains be. tween London and Stafford (a distance of 141 miles 15 chains), and this, too, although the effect of the alteration is to carry all the through traffic past and not through the important town of Bir mingham, which is thus placed, as it were, on a branch with refe rence to the main line of communication. It is also remarkable that the line in that direction originally contemplated and submited to Parliament was laid down so as to save the distance now to be curtailed at so great a cost, but local interests prevailed at the time over the direct principle, and carried the line round by Birming. ham. Successive alterations, at great cost, it is well known, have also been made, or are about to be made, in several other principal lines, via„ in the original Birmingham and Liverpool, the Bir mingham and Manchester, the Manchester and Leeds, the South. Eastern, and others; all of which alterations must be considered as adoptions of, or approximations to, the direct principle. The Committee are confident that neither the Legislature nor the Board of Trade will now sanction a line from London to York on merely local grounds, but will regard the question as one of general national importance. For it is evident that all persons to the south of the London terminus, or the north of the York ter. minus, who desire to travel or transmit goods in either direction, have a clear interest in the formation of the shortest through line, and (for example), while it may be for the convenience of persons residing at Peterborough, when they wish to travel or send goods to London, that the main trunk should be brought round by that town, it is equally clear that it is not for their convenience that it should bend round by Grantham, Newark, and Doncaster, when they wish to travel or send goods to York, any more than it is far the convenience of persons residing at Grantham, Newark, and Doncaster, to be carried round by Peterborough, or any other of the other towns, when they wish to travel or send goods to London. In short, nothing but the direct Principle (facilities for lateral branches being always provided)! resolves the question of general aggregate convenience. It has been stated that the Direct Northern line does not accom. modate the same amount of local population as the proposed London and York ; but, by reference to the plans of both Companies, it will be seen that this is not the fact, and that all the towns of im portance on the route (Doncaster not excepted) are .brought nearer to the metropolis and to York, and to places intermediate, by means of the Direct Northern, than by the London and York, with the single exception of Peterborough, to communicate with which the Direct Northern avails itself of the Northampton and Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham Rail. way, now nearly completed, which it crosses at the distance of four miles and a half from Peterborough, making the total distance from London to Peterborough only about a mile greater than by the London and York--a result obtained by the latter Company at a considerable elongation of their main line, detrimental to the locality itself in its traffic northward, and' generally to the cha. racier of the line. The Committee forbear to introduce into this statement other topics which they might urge (such as the priority on their part in the proposal of a direct line from London to York, which priority has been clearly established), as these might, perhaps, divert atten. tion from the strength of their main position, upon which they are content that their claim to legislative preference and to public sup. port shall rest, viz., that, compared with all other proposed under. takings for the same object, theirs presents a great preponderance of national advantage, while, at the same time, it is the most secure as a profitable investment of capital. In conclusion, and in brief recapitulation of the more promi. nent grounds on which the Committee rely for the sanction of the Legislature to their undertaking as a national line, they beg to sub mit the following propositions, and they court the most searching inquiry into their truth and value 1. That an independent direct line between London and York is required by the public, and will command a sufficient traffic to yield an ample return. 2. That the interests of a large proportion of the population of England, and of the whole of Scotland, require that the most di. rect line should be adopted. 3. That the Direct Northern not only satisfied these conditions by being the shortest line between London and York, but it is preferable by the character of its gradients, and its economical con. struction. 4. That the line being the shortest and cheapest possible, pas. sengers and goods may be carried by it at a lower rate of charge than by any other. 5. That the primary object of shortening the distance is attained by the Direct Northern, with due regard to intermediate and local interests, and without needlessly interfering with the traffic of existing lines. 6. That as a question of investment of capital, it is essential that the most direct line should be taken to prevent future com petition, or expensive alterations for the protection or improvement of the original line, and that consequently none but direct lines can constitute a permanent property. When the Direct Northern Railway was first announced to the Public its promoters pledged them.eives to the principle of forming a line of railway between London and York as direct as the nature of the country would admit. The announcement of this principle was most favourably received, and assurances of support were given to the. Committee by numerous parties possessing influence on the line, and others practically ac quainted with the results of railway communication, who were desirous of seeing this great means of public convenience and welfare, in this instance, rightly applied. The direct principle claimed also the sup port of all that portion of the population of the United Kingdom north of York, whose course of personal communication or of correspon dence lay through that city, and the Committee had great satisfaction in finding this claim warmly responded to. Since that period the Committee have been actively engaged In perfecting the numerous preliminary details essential :for making good their position as applicants for legislative sanction to their measure. Until these were completed, and until the scope of the various other schemes which have been recently proposed for esta blishing a communication by railway between the metropolis and the counties of Lincoln and York could be precisely ascertained by the deposit of the plans, the Committee felt that they could not usefully call the attention of the public to the character of their undertaking. But now that the Committee have complied with all the requirements incumbent on them, and that they are in every respect prepared to prosecute their application to Parliament at the commencement of the ensuing session, and since, also, the competing schemes have been fully developed in all their details, they conceive that the time has arrived when it is their duty to bring the particular merits of their proposal more prominently be. fore the public, and to challenge a comparison between it and the others which are in the field. The principle above stated, of taking the most direct line to York that the nature of the country admits of, has been steadily kept in view, and the following resells have been obtained : The actual distance from London to York by the proposed line . is only 176* miles, to Stamford Sli, to Lincoln 121 i, to Gains.. borough 134, to Selby 165, and to Hull, by the proposed Gains_ borough and New Holland line, 166. The main trunk at York is carried onward by a bridge over the York and North Midland Rail way, and joins the Great North of England line at a point about a mile and a half beyond the city of York, for the purpose of avoid. ing the detention that now occurs to onward passengers, whether proceeding north or south. This mods of crossing the York and North Midland line has been adopted in conformity with the following recommendation con. tained in the fourth report of the Railway Commissioners in 1841 (p. 43) :—" We consider it improper that the traffic of any new line should open upon the York and North Midland Railway, with which so many lines aro already in connexion as to render delay un. avoidable, and collision net improbable. In consequence of the numerous trains of luggage and passengers using this line nearly two hours arc sometimes occupied in passing Over a little more than thirty miles from York." Notwithstanding the opinion thus de cidedly expressed, the proposed competing line of the London and York comes upon the Yorx and North Midland Railway in the very manner objected to by the Railway Commissioners as likely to lead to danger and certain to cause delay. The Direct Northern line supplies the benefit of railway inter course to a very large district of country intermediate between the midland counties and the sea, which has hitherto been left unpro vided in that respect; and takes its course through nearly the centre of that district at a distance varying from eighteen to forty miles from the lines proceeding north from Rugby. It cannot, therefore, be held to interfere needlessly with the interests of these lines, which, although they have conferred great benefits oa the wealthy and populous districts they connect, were not originally intended to be carried to York, and cannot consequently be re garded as furnishing such a communication as in the due applica tion of railway power the public have a right to expect. The subject should be considered also in relation to cross lines or branches which may new or may hereafter be proposed to tra verse the same country as the Direct Northern, and to become con. netted with it, as the progress of industry and of population may require, and on this point the Committee believe that the best main trunk line having been rightly chosen on the principle of direct communication, that principle will be found to afford every facility for the advantageous working and connexion of such lateral lines or branches as the amount of local traffic may hereafter demand. This important subject—viz., the relations of probable future branches, has received the serious consideration of the Committee, and they ar e prepared to promote and to co.operate in the forma. lion of l a t eral l i nes, so as to arrange them with the main line to the beet as est advanta ge, and to render the communication, both direct and lateral, Perfect as possible. But they do not propose to sacrifice to the local convenience of a town of a few thousand inhabitants (wh ich may by other means be provided for), the interests, both as regards time and cost, of the large masses of population that lie at and beyond t h e termini of the line. On this ground the Provisional Of Commi t tee confidently re l y on rece i v i ng from the northern counties England, and from the whole of Scotland, cordial co.operation and support The gradients are of a very favourable description, as the section demonstrates, and they are obtained at a moderate expense. The tunnels will be f our in number, the longest being 1,450 yards in length, and the aggregate length of the whole four less than one mile and two-thirds. No engineering works of great magnitude or difficulty occur, ornamental property is avoided, and the drainage of the fen country will not be interfered with. The guage will be the same as that of existing railways north of London, and the line being for its whole length under one management, a higher average and more equal rate of speed may be attained and ren. dered compatible with safety, than can exist on lines where the frequent change of Companies renders vexatious delay unavoidable, superintendence difficult, and responsibility incomplete. Wher ever the Direct Northern may be connected with other lines, every arrangement that experience has pointed out, or that a careful study of the question can suggest, will be adopted to ensure the safety and convenience of the public. It is without doubt a most important consideration in regard to safety as well as speed that the control and arrangement of the traffic of a line of great magnitude should be subjected to one go verning body, as has been most forcibly urged in a communication made to the Railway Commissioners by the Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway Company.

In regard to the cost of working, it needs no argument to prove that, where gradients are the same, the shortest line through a given country will be the cheapest worked, and that if the capital required for its construction be the same per mile, the shortest line will be the cheapest to the public. The Committee believe that a general conviction now prevails that, for the purpose of communication between the metropolis and the north, a new and independent line of railway is required between London and York, and they assume that such a work will certainly receive the sanction of Parliament. It can be proved that a better engineering line may be made to York 421 miles shorter than that which at present exists; that by thus shortening the distance, and avoiding the delays that necessarily attend the transference of traffic from one line to another (the present line belonging to four Companies), the time consumed in the journey to York may be reduced from nine hours and upwards to less than six hours, without any increase of speed, and likewise that the fares and freight of goods may be considerably lowered. These facts appear to the Committee to be conclusive in favour of their undertaking, and they look to public opinion to confirm and support their views, Lists of wines and prices sent en application, and country orders minediatt , ly attended to on receiving a cash remittance or a re fero•ice.—ptrycc, hl, Berner's-street ; eellars, 27, Marshall-street, Regent -street. AHAPPY NEW YEAR! As this is the season of pleasure and joy, We could not much better a moment employ, Than follow the accents of kindness sincere, And pledge to the public a happy new year ! Oh ! happy, thrice happy, and bless'd may it be ; May trade still extend and our commerce be free; May the sunshine of peace in its glory appear, And crown the bright hopes of " a happy new year ! " May the rich be endear'd to the poor by their worth ; May concord and harmony dwell on the earth ! May justice and truth in their brightness appear, And all things combine for a happy new year! In comparing the proposed Direct Northern line with other schemes, the following most important fact should be kept in view, viz.:—Every additional mile of railway distance is equivalent to a tax amounting to the fare charged per mile for every passenger and ton of goods conveyed, that is to say, approximlting on an average to 2d. per mile each way, besides the time lost in the transit. May the people be "clothed " as brave Englishmen should. With " garments " of usefulness—gorgeous and good ; May they purchase of Hyena, and then i t is clear They "save half their cash for a happy new year May Hyam's endeavours be proudly confirmed, And increase the bright laurels already he's earn'd ; May his eflbrts still brighten the vast hemisphere, And add to the joys of a happy new year The style of his garments, their beauty and make, Are such as precedence must proudly now take; Whilst the saving effected, distinctly and clear, Is half of your cash, on each happy new year I Observe—All garments at this establishment are marked the price in plain figures, from which no abatement is made.

Annual ?relM. £1 10 3 £2 • 7 £2 15 3 £4 1 8 ZS 3 It is thus clear, that upon the amount of traffic which on the most moderate estimate will pass over the line, an impost on the public of many thousands per annum (independently of the sacri fice of time to passengers, and of delay in the transmission of mails) would he perpetuated by any needless elongation of the line. Another consideration will present itself to parties who are inte rested io existing railways, and shonld be kept in view by those disposed to invest their property in new ones, viz., that lines which are circuitous, and therefore capable of improvement, and liable to he interfered with by other parties, must become depreciated in value whenever public accommodation may demand that improve ment, and that consequently lines on the direct principle alone can be regarded as a permanent property. A striking illustration of the progress which the direct prin. ciple is making, and of the importance of saving a few miles on the main line of a railway, is most opportunely aftbrded by the _HALSE ON MEDICAL GALVANISM. "Mr. HALSE, late of this county, but now of s,:relham. crescent, Brompton, London, has lately published a pamphlet on MEDICAL GALVANISM, the contents of which have really astonished us. If it be true that galvanism can accomplish such cures as are there stated, the galvanic apparatus must take as com manding a position over medical science as the steam-engine does over mechanical science. It is true that galvanism has long been resorted to as a remedial agent, but the old form of batteries were so uncertain in their action as to almost do as much harm as they did good. Mr. liaise, like a true philosopher, conceived that it may be possible to select the good and discard the evil effects of the apparatus, and after years of intense study be has accomplished what he desired—viz., to regulate the power of the galvanic apparatus to the greatest nicety. We consider this to rank as the greatest improvement which has ever been made in the galvanic battery. In the pamphlet we noticed an extract from the ' Shipping andl Mercantile Gazette' of March 14.

We have reason to believe that every case stated in that pamphlet is perfectly true, wonderful as they cer tainly are; for, a short time since, we called on Mr. Halse, and were introduced to him by a gentleman who was undergoing the operation. The patient informed us that it was not at all an unpleasant sensa tion, indeed we felt it ourselves, and there was not the least un pleasantness about it. This gentleman's case was paralysis, and he declared to us that before he came to Mr. Heise one leg had withered away to a mere skeleton ; but now,' said he, ' you perceive it is both stout and healthy.' Such, indeed, was the case. If we can judge by the number of patients Mr. Halse has, we should say he is making some very wonderful cures, for his house is crowded from morning till night.

STANDARD LI FE ASS UR ANCE COMPANY. 3, GEORGE-STREET, EDINBURGH, 82, KING WILLIAM.STREET, LONDON. The NINETEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING was held on Monday, the 16th of December, in terms of the Act of Parliament by which the Company is constituted— GEORGE PATTON, Esq., in the Chair. The Report and Statements as to the affairs of the Company submitted en this occasion were highly satisfactory to all connected with the Institution ; and the Chairman, in an address to the Meet ing, directed particular attention to the following very gratifying results : The number of Policies issued singly during the year is 562. The Assurances Proposed to the Company during the year exceed the large sum of HALF A MILLION STERLING—the Assurances effected being nearly 400,0001., adding from that source alone about 13,500/. per annum to the Company's revenue from Premiums. Large transactions have also been effected in other departments of the business. The Company's investments continued to be upheld at a high rate of interest on unexceptionable security, chiefly Government and Heritable, and notwithstanding the great increase of the Company's funds, the return secured still shows an advantage of nearly 2/. per cent, in favour of the Company above the rate calculated on in th e i r T a b les for L i fe A s surance. The number of li ves w hi c h h ave fallen during the year amou nt only to one per cent. on the number of the Assured standing on the books. AND, IN ADDITION TO THESE RESULTS, The Company have added, by an advantageous arrangement, 927 policies to their lists, through a transference of the business of the YORK AND LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY, The Reports and Statements were unanimously approved of; and the Chairman, after drawing attention to the important posi_ tien which the Company now occupy among the Assurance Inati. tutions of this country, and the fact of the Company never having disputed or compromised a claim, concluded by congratu. lating all parties on the satisfactory results exhibited, and took the opportunity p I attention to the important fact that th e THIRD of N ng of PROFITS among the Policy Holders was to take place in November, 1845. He was certain that the advan. tage of joining the Participation Scheme of the Company, before the balance was struck, would not be lost sight of by intending assurers, and he felt confidant that there would he much reason for further congratulation when they next met together.

MANCHESTER, TIT UR SDA Y Mort XING. —An aggregate meeting of the Anti-Corn -law League, which was one of the most crowded gatherings yet held, took place at the Free Trade Hall last night, On which iccasion Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., Mark Philips, Esq., M.P., and Mr. IV. Brown, late candidate for South Lancashire, were to be present; and these gentlemen entered the ball about half-past seven o'clock, amidst the loudest cheering. The meeting was not only a crowded one, but of great respectability, and about one-fourth of the persons seated in the gallery and body of the hall were ladies. Among the principal gentlemen on the platform we ob served Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. Joseph Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Alderman Brooks, Mr. Alderman Willert, Mr. Alderman Shuttleworth, the Mayor of Salford, and other influential merchants and manufacturers of the town. Mr. GEORGE WILSON, the Chairman, rose to address the meeting, about half-past seven o'clock, and said— They were assembled this evening, at the commencement of the seventh year of this agitation.—(Cheers.) How many more meetings of this description might be re quired before the corn and provision laws were abolished he could not pretend to say; but he confessed that, look ing at the extent and character of this meeting, he did not believe that in any of the past years they had opened their proceedings under more favourable auspices.— (Cheers.) They met to-night more especially for busi ness. Ten weeks ago, the plan which they proposed for the enfranchisement of the counties was laid before the members of the League by Mr. Cobden.—(Cheers.) Since that time the best energies of the council had been directed to taking those steps most likely to conduce to the success of their plan. Since then thirty-five meetings had been held in various parts of Lancashire, Yorkshire, Middlesex, and North Cheshire—the greater part of which had been addressed by their respected friends Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright.—(Cheers.) Now, it was not for him to say what would be the success of this plan ; but he would say, that unless each of these districts placed on the register, by the 31st of January, from 500 to 1,000 free trade votes, in addition to those there before, the free traders would not have done their duty.—(Cheers.) With reference to the statement made at the last meeting, as to the increase on the register for South Lancashire, it had not been controverted that he had heard of. They then stated it to give a majority of 1,700 free traders now, and on looking it over again for this evening, they were prepared to abide by that state ment. Should the Noble Lord the Member for South Lancashire take it into his head to imitate the example of the Noble Lord who lately represented North Lan cashire, the public would have the opportunity of judging if they had not estimated correctly.—(Cheers.) The Chairman then called upon Mr. Philips, the Member for Manchester, to address the meeting. Mr. MARK PHILIPS came forward, and was received with great cheering. He said he could not help sus pecting, when he received the invitation to attend that meeting, that the chairman had :it in his mind` that he (Mr. Philips) had been devoting himself to farming pur suits a good deal lately. He probably took him to be a little of a backslider. He perhaps thought him to be somewhat like a razor that had been laid aside for a time—he was losing his edge, and required setting again. —(Laughter.) However, there, he was, and he hoped they had spent a merry Christmas, and permit him to hope that they had entered on the commencement of a prosperous and happy new year.—(Applause.) Since he had last addressed them he had been labouring under heavy domestic affliction, which had necessarily withdrawn him for a time from public life, and he did not hesitate to say that his feelings had undergone a considerable change, and he had felt reluctance to appear in public. He would willingly, if he could, retire into private life, but so long as they called upon him to dis charge the duties of their representative, he should feel it his duty to endeavour to discharge them.—(Applause.) Ile wished he could work like their friend Mr. Cobden. He congratulated them upon the steadfastness which they had manifested in connexion with this great question of free trade. He was delighted to see there was no back sliding among them.—(Hear.) He congratulated them that they were determined to carry this question, and were net to be cheated into the belief that because they had somewhat of a return of prosperity they were not to apprehend a return of the evils with which they had been heretofore visited. What had legislation done within the last twelve months to secure a conti nuance of this prosperity ? What, for instance, had been done with reference to our export trade to Brazil and the United States ? We should look in vain for any change in this respect ; and as bad legislation had produced bad results before, surely it would again. What was it that had crowded our Exchange once more, filled our streets with traffic, and given employment to our artizans, weavers, and mechanics ? Not the pro tection to agriculture, but the altered state of prices, the cheap rate at which the necessaries of life could be ob tained, the extension of the market for our manufac tures, and the low price of the raw material on which the industry of this great district was employed.— (Cheers) In all this was there not an approximation to the very results which had been anxiously anticipated as the consequences of free trade ?—(llear, hear.) The present position of the country offered the best practical illustration of the truth of their principles. Somebody, therefore, must have been attempting to practise delu sion, or to state that which looked like falsehood.— ( Applause.) But they were not likely to succeed. This was the season for stocktaking ; and what did their op ponents' stock consist. of? The old fibs to which they had given such general circulation were no longer in demand, and if they attempted to smuggle them out in the spring, it would be like trying to pass a bad shilling between two good ones, and they would fail, as they deserved to do. But he heard an enormous joint-stock company was about to be formed, at No. 17, he believed, Bond-street, which was to eclipse all others in the articles they were about to submit to the approba tion of a discerning British public. It was nut their intention, he understood, in the first instance to attack the League, but to attack Sir Robert Peel, and to en deavour to wrest from him his tariff, and his Canada Corn Bill.—(Laughter.) He had voted in support of that measure, and should, in consistency, be bound to come to the rescue of Sir Robert, if he were placed in any predicament by this formidable society. The course for the free traders was perfectly clear—to stick to everything they had got, and to get as much more as possible.—(Cheers.) lie had not inquired minutely into what would be the operation of that Bill in ell its details, being satisfied that the main result would be to lead to an increased demand for British manufactured ' goods.—(Cheers.) Ile had last week travelled from London in company with one of the principal supporters of this agricultural society to which he had alluded, who was a good-tempered, open-hearted country gentleman, and si ho had declared his readiness to support the removal of the cotton duty. Mr. Philips alluded to the soiree recently held in that hall, at which several gen tlemen of the Young England party were present, and expressed his regret to learn that with all their admi ration of our manufacturing industry, and their well wishes to the town, they had not called at the offices of the League and registered themselves as members.— (Laughter.) But he hoped they would yet do some thing for the cause of free trade. He was much at toched to the pursuits of agriculture himself, and had seen quite enough of it to know that if the farmers of Great Britain looked to so-called protection to secure their profits, they would be grossly deceived ; they had been the subjects of this deception too long, and the consequence was, that, as a body, they were suffering very much, and it was the duty of every one who was really a friend to the farmers, to endeavour t o open t h e i r eyes as t o th e rea l state of the case. The sooner such a delusion was dispelled the botter ; and the more they inquired into the conduct and proceedings of the League, the more would they be convinced that it was not the advocate of any selfish party, or any particular section of the community. It was clear that protection had not given high agricultural wages, and it was equally clear that low prices of provisions in this district had not created low prices as between the master manufacturers and their workmen.—(Cheers.) The only thing done in the way of legislation, to relieve the pressure under which we had laboured, was the opening of the trade with China.—(Cheers.) This was a complicated ques tion, involving, amongst other considerations, the ques tion of how we were to be paid for what we sent out. Our principal imports were tea and silk ; the former, by far the most important, was so wofully taxed that it was almost taken from within the reach of the working classes. And it was curious to observe, that many indi viduals interested in the China trade, but opposed to the a m ade reductionan any concessio ns fthe duty o L n ea te g a u . e, w ß e u r t e , n if ow th • the on that point, th e y must also make concessions on anot h er little article which was essential to an increased consump calling out Government for tion of tea—namely, sugar; and it would be the duty of free traders to exact from them equal justice in reference to those two articles. , It had bee n sa id , the League was dead, and that Othello s occupation was gone ; but, if it were dead, it was the largest ghost he ever saw, and, not only a large one, but a most troublesome one to lay. —(Cheers and laughter). In conclusion, he would draw their attention to one striking fact, that though the re venue was increasing, and though the Minister and his friends would doubtless beast of this, as a proof of the flourishing condition of the country, yet that the last year's cons um p t i on of sugar only showed an increase of or 2i per cent, While congratulating them on the re tur being perpetuated unless they reverted to sound and wholesome principles of legislation.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. BROWN, of Liverpool, next addressed the meeting. Mr. COBDEN then came forward, and was'received with great cheering. He said it certainly seemed rather alarming in his ears when the chairman told them they had now been seven years in the agitation of this ques- PUBLICATIONS. By CIIARLES J.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING.—To-day the quarterly meeting of the iron-masters of this district was held in the Town-hall, and was most numerously and respectably attended, indeed the proprietors of all the great houses, or their representati►es, were present, and agreed to an advance of 1/. per ton over the price of last quarter. After the last meeting, the leading mas ters in South Staffordshire reduced the price 11. per ton, contrary to the general expectation of the trade, and no small surprise was felt at so extraordinary a proceeding, as the demand was then brisk, and no apparent necessity for the reduction. Since then, however, the demand has been extremely brisk ; orders have come in all direc tions, and the prospect of trade was declared so good to day, as to fully justify a rise of 1Z per ton over the price of last quarter. I am exceedingly happy to say that this steady improvement in the trade has been productive of immediate advantage to the labouring classes. They are now well employed, and, in many places, at a good ad vance of wages. The demand for railroad irun is very considerable ; but the; generally improved state of the trade is the main cause of this favourable state of our staple manufacture.
