That in the opinion of this Meeting, the intended Railway is calculated to serve essentially the interests of this town ind neighbourhood, as affordin g the shortest and best communica tion to and from Manchester and the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, and the metropolis. That auxiliary to the great object of securin g to this district 1 the r ea di est access to London, the intended line will also afford 1 a Railway communication between Mancheste r and the whole of the Eastern District, including the towns of Derby, Newark, and Nottingham. That these advantages will be secured by means of a Rail ',ay which, it is believed, considering its length, is not exceeded lii engineering properties and general excellenc e by any line of Railw a y, e i t h er constructed or projected, in this country. That your Petitioners need not impress upon your Honourable Rouse the fact that the commercial prosperity of the vast trad ing community of and round Manchester will be M greatly t ooted by th e u t most facilities of communication being afforded With the variou s parts of the kingdom, and especially with Londo n , so that the manufactures of this, the great work-shop of England, may continue to afford employment to our popula tion, and that in the march of trading competition the capital and enterprise of the district may have fair and free exercise. That, in putting forward a claim to these advantages, your retitioners are only seeking for that which their townsmen and ne ighbours, wile those who are interested in the welfare of the town, are w illi ng, out of their own resources, to accomplish, if foe b e p l eased to grant to them the necessary powers or that purpose.

The new principles on which this Society is founded, bring the benefits* f Life Assurance within the "each of all. It pro vides against the contingency of misfortune during life, as well as against the risk of death ; and even affords to the Assured a fund out of his premiums on which he can at any time operate, as his circumstances may requiro. It thus affords to the pru dent of all classes, the greatest facilities and most powerful en couragement to lay up a certain provision for the future. Among other advantages the assured will enjoy the follow ing :- 1. Moderate rates of Premium consistent with security; be sides the g tarantee of half a million of capital. 2. No entry-money. 3. Power of converting the policy at any time into apayment in cash, a new policy, or immediate, or deferred Annuity. 4. After five years, two-thirds of payment on elapsed policies returnable at death. 5. The Assured, on complying with the conditions of tha office, may, at any time, borrow two-thirds of all previous pay men s ; and the amount of any declared bonus. 6. Two-thirds of the entire profits on the Life Assurance, and on the investment of the GLarantea Fund, divided an nually among the Insured, and at their option raid in cash, added to the policy, or applied in reduction of future pre miums. 7. Great facility in effecting Insu-ances. Premiums payable by one paym, nt, or annually, hilf,yearly, quarterly, or monthly, or on the increasing or decreasing scale. 8. Females assured at one year less than their actual ages. 9. Relaxation of restrictions on travelling beyond the limits of Europe, except to places specially enumerated, and a policy in force seven years not forfeited by suicide.

By the operation of the same new principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of DEFERRED ANNUITIES far more advantageous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the contribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may secure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or at his option. a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his deith. The industrious classes, hitherto obliged to resort to Savings' Banks and Benefit Societies, will find in this scheme a far safer and more profitable application of their savings. This Society is enabled, by judicious and accurate calculations, to afford a Deferred Annuity of a much greater amount than has hitherto been offered, beside . the option of exchanging this annuity when payable, for a large sum in cash, or a still larger Policy, payable without premiums at death ; while, by giving to the purchaser, at any time preceding the stipulated term of the Annuity's commencement, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording au ample re source during sickness and want of employment ; and, should the purchaser die More arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The purchaser has also the power of converting, on equal terms, his deferred into a prese A Annuity. The following tables are a specimen of the great and varied advantages Which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through the Society. SPECIMENS OF DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, has just published an excellent sketch of the North-cast Boundary, in dis pute between Great Britain and the United States. The district in question is of a triangular shape, and in extent about 120 miles by SO. The boundaries claimed by Great Britain and the United States, with the boundary awarded by the King of Holland, are marked on the map. Mr. Wyld deserves great credit for the rapidity and correctness with which he publishes sketches of this description. OLD-STREET-ROAD.—The Board of Trustees of the parish of St. Luke's have given directions that the extensive line of road called Old-street-road, shall be paved with stone.

SlR,—Permit me to offer you my sincere thanks for the insertion of my case in your Journal, and to inform you, that in consequence thereof a gentleman called here and presented me with ten pounds. I, of course, felt anxious to know to whom I was indebted for such a God-send (for believe me, Sir, it was indeed a salvation) but the gentleman would not communicate to me the name of my benefactor. I am, therefore, unable to offer my thanks to any particular individual by private means, and as my heart palpitates with the most grateful emo tion, I venture to ask the favour of your sparing a corner in your excellent paper for this note, in order that the person who so kindly relieved my urgent necessity may receive the most grateful acknowledgment that heart can give utterance to. I assure you, Sir, the privations 1 have endured for the last five years have been of that character that an attempt to describe them would be ridiculous ; during which period it bath pleased the Almighty to bereave me of my father, mother, wife, son, and daughter, and in consequence of my being con fined here I could not offer the last token of affection at the interment of any one of them. The statement of my situation (as described in your Journal of the 25th of last month) is but too true, the facts of which can be easily ascertained by inquiry at the entrance lobby, or in the interior of this place. Trusting this may meet the eve of the generous donor, and once more thanking you, I am, Sir, your very obliged and obedient servant, FREDERICK HALL. April 10, 1839. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S—YRSTER Pe r. In our report of Monday's betting we stated that, although offered in two or three quarters, 3 to 1 against the first favourite was not to be obtained currently. The bidders yesterday were more shy, a good many bets having been made at less than those odds; the last 2,000 to 700, the layer offering to double the bet. The Dey of Algiers was not backed for sixpence that we could bear of ; several parties would have laid 7 to 1, and as many have closed at a point more. Dragoman was an immense favourite : 16 to 1 was laid first, then IS to 1 ; 14, 12, and 10 to 1, were then snapped up with extraordinary eagerness, and, finally, 9 to 1 ; we doubt if these odds could have been procured at the close. Euclid and • ' • Ilderim were equal favourites during nearly the whale of the afternoon ; but when the room was about to close, an unaccepted offer to back the latter for 500 even gave him a decided call; the odds previously laid against each would, perhaps, have led to a different conclusion. Bloomsbury was backed in several quarters at the old price; and a trifle laid out on two or three others, with no other result than a decline of points in 'Wapiti. With the exception of Dragsman, Scott's horses were scarcely mentioned, unless as a "lot." Flambeau is reported to be amiss, of Rat-trap and Blackney's disorder.

PRICE 5d CHURCH ESTABLISHMENTS Dr. Wardlaw yesterday delivered his Second Lecture upon Church Establishments at Freemason's Hall, which was again crowded with a highly respectable audience, the galleries being filled with ladies, and many Dissent ing ministers present, among whom we noticed the Rev. C. Morris, the Rev. Mr. Harry, the Rev. R. Young, the Rev. Dr. Halley, &c. We also observed Sir Culling Eardley Smith, and J. Wilke, Esq. The Rev. Dr. Morr;sson offered up prayer. The Rev. LECTURER said the subject of the present discourse would be " The legitimate sources of argument and grounds of decision, the opening of the Scripture argument, and an examination of the New Testament authorities: Dr. Chalmers had suggested many dis creditable grounds for opposition to Church Establish ments—such as worldly-mindedness, leading to profane indifference or apathetic carelessness about reli• gion. Surely Christian charity might have suggested some other ground of opposition to Church Establish ments, on the part, at least, of those who were sincerely anxious for the success of the Gospel. The advocates of the voluntary principle opposed such Establishments, because they believed them to be destitute of the au thority of Christ—to be human innovations upon the divine constitution of his Church.—(Cheers.) The vo luntary principle could equally be defended on the ground of expediency and ofjustice between man and man. But on a question connected with religion, the authority of the Bible should be paramount.—(Hear, hear.) Where the " mind of God" was manifested ; reasoning ended, and obedience commenced.—(Hear, hear.) What would be thought of a statesman who should take his notions of the British Constitution from his own fancy, without regarding the ancient records and autho rities of that Constitution ?—(Hear, hear.) That the Bible, and the Bible only, was the religion of Protes tants, was universally admitted, in theory at least, by all who held that name. But theory was different from practice ; and though the author of the " Natural History of Enthusiasm" had stated that the main fea ture of the present position of the Church was the honour paid to the Scriptures, as the exclusive autho rity in all matters of religious faith and practice, it was deeply to be lamented that a man of so high and meri ted reputation as Dr. Chalmers—the Gamaliel of so many ministers in the Scottish Establishment—should, when delivering a series of lectures on Church Esta blishments, a subject which one would think must natu rally have led to the Bible, should have hardly adverted to the existence of such an authority.—(Hear, hear.) Those were noble sentiments which this most eminent preacher, at the commencement of his brilliant career, had expressed—" The Bible allows of no compromise— porofessing to be the only divine rule of faith, it claims undivided ascendancy over the souls and un derstandings of men ; it appeals to heaven for its autho rity and sanction, and its language is—. Whosoever taketh from the book, or addcth thereto, is accursed.' Closely as ever lawyer did stick to his text, must we abide by the rule of doctrine which this authentic me morial of God sets before us."—(Cheers.) Oh, why was it that the Rev. Doctor's practice had been so at variance with his doctrine ?—(Hear.) Instead of re ferring to the customs of nations, the experience of ages, and the claims of long-existing institutions, the question was first to be decided, whether or no the Scriptures left the point open for human discretion ?—(Hear.) Some persons indeed thought that scripture arguments ought not to be addressed to any but Christians. But in what authority would infidels, and men of the world, expect to see the question of civil establishments for religion ?—was it not the Bible—the acknowledged source of Christian instruction ?—( Hear, hear.) It would be well to have the judgment of a candid infidel on the present controversy, respecting the directions of the Scriptures. Even with statesmen, he (Dr. Ward law) would feel abundantly warranted in pressing the authority of Scripture upon this subject : though some people might smile at this, thinking that with politicians the Bible would be the most fu tile of all arguments.—(Hear.) But in taking Scriptural authority a high vantage-ground of appeal was gained to the judgment of all sound-thinking men. In the car of every statesman should the truth be per petually rang, that the Church of Christ was no poli tical institution ; but a spiritual community, existing only by the authority of the New Testament.— (Cheers.) Statesmen, imbued to the core though they might be, with official secularity, could well understand such an appeal. And even if they did not, the appeal ought perseveringly to be made to the Christian commu nity.—(Hear.) The Reverend Doctor here alluded to a prejudice which he said had been raised in some minds against the voluntary principle, from the supposi tion that the advocates of that principle were regardless of the authority of the Jewish dispensation, and, be re marked, that although the authority of the Mosaic eco nomy was unquestionably divine, yet that it was as clearly instituted for a particular purpose and a parti cular nation, and was now, by authority e qua lly di v i ne , done away with. H e ren laid down the following three positions, which it would be his object to esta blish :—First, that in the New Testament, there was no recognition whatever of the power of the civil ruler in matters of religion. Secondly, that in the New Testa ment, the maintenance of the Church's interests is, with all clearness and explicitness committed to the Church herself. And thirdly, that all imitation of the ancient Jewish constitution in this respect, is from its very nature impossible, and, if it were possible, would not be warranted.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Doctor then went on to notice several of the texts which were advanced by the advocates of Church Establishments. Among these was the passage in which St. Paul spoke of the civil magistrates as appointed " for good," and it was argued that this must include the greatest of all " good"—reli gion. But, if this were so, it must be held likewise as regarded the Ministers of the Gospelwho are said equally to be appointed " for good," and whom, therefore, it might just as well be argued, were entitled to interfere in civil matters—the administration of justice, for in stance, which might be certainly comprehended under the term "good."—(Hear, hear.) Besides, what proved too much, proved nothing ; and if the civil ruler were appointed to support "all good"—and that included religion—he was eq ua lly a p po i nte d t o res i s t a ll evil—and that would include the greatest of all evil— irreligion.—(Hear, hear.) Thus might be gathered from their text, with such an interpretation, the germ of that persecution and intolerance which had so desolated the earth under the mistaken idea that the state magistrates were bound, by the infliction of temporal pains and pun. ishments, to compel the observance of that form of reli gion which they selected.—(Hear, hear.) It was too late now in this country, in the nineteenth century, to broach such principles. And the seeds of that tree of death, which had borne more than " twelve manner of fruits," all noxious and deadly, and the " leaves of which" were for the poisoning, and destroying, the nations of the earth, would never more vegetate in our highly favoured land.—(Loud and continued cheering.) The Rev. Doctor proceeded to say that Dr. Chalmers bad admitted the absence of any direct scriptural authority for Church Establishments. All scriptural authority in fact was the other way. The whole tenor of the New Testament was to show that the Church of Christ was an institution independent of any aid from worldly au thority ; its members drawn to it by their own free-will election ; self-endowed, self-sustained, self-extending, and acknowledging for its head alone the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.—(Loud cheers.) In proof of this the Roy. Doctor referred to several texts, such as— " Let him that is taught in the word communicate to those that teach ;" " Know them that labour among you," &c. ; all of which, he said, tended to show that the Ministers of Christ were to be supported by the voluntary contributions of their flocks.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. Chalmers, indeed, might call this " voluntaryism ab intro," internal voluntaryism.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) But there was nothing to limit the sup port of a Christian minister to those whom he actually taught ; and the Christian liberality of a Church might extend beyond its own boundaries and supply the spiri tual necessities of others ; but this, though " voluntary ism ab extro"—wouldbe voluntaryism still.—(Cheers.) " Non sibi, sed toll," was the maxim which might be taken as expressive of the spirit of the New Testament instructions as to the Church. The Reverend Doctor at the close of his lecture gave expression to the feelings of indignant reprehension with which, he said, a sense of duty compelled him to speak, of those who by allying the Church with the State, had secularised an institution appointed by Christ—altered and degraded its whole character—de stroyed its purity and independence, and given occasion for the sardonic, half scornful, half complacent sneer of the infidel and the worldling—" you cannot get on without our aid—you must come to us for support."— (Loud cheers.) Dr. Wardlaw was listened to with the greatest at tention throughout. The Rev. Doctor's voice is clear, and in some measure harmonious—hi s delivery is dis tinct and pleasing, though perfectly unimpassioned ; affording as striking a contrast to the emphatic elo quence of Dr. Chalmers as the simple, unpretending plainness of his style does to the laboured magnificence of his distinguished opponent. The first lecture occupied two hours --the hour of commencement being two o'clock. The second was not so long by a quarter of an hour. r 5 iC) 9 , r , TO THE EDITOR OF THE S • , CONVENTION ROOMS, THURSDAY, APRI. 9. Sir,—ln your Report of the proceedings of the !') vention on Wednesday, the 10th of April, you state th. tt Dr. M'Douall supported Dr. Taylor's motion. M r. Rogers and Mr. Cleave are there reported as havir attacked me in consequence of some remarks whit it is inferred I made use of ; I assure yo',. it would have pleased me, and given greater satisfac tion to those whom I represent, had you introduced the •, speech as well as the comments. As it nos stands, the course you have adopted is neither creditable to you, nor just to myself. Instead of giving on e wora l of my ' speech, false impressions are conveyed reg ar di ng I,'7llat 4 am presumed to have said. Common justice would a ; given both sides, or left out both. Ido not complain. being left out in your r e p o rt o f o ur p r oc e edi n g s ; cons i- / dering what specimen we have already seen, it WOUM be extremely desirable to remain unnoticed. What I Coln- I plain of is a representation in your Paper which is en tirely incorrect. It will be inferred by every reader I that I endeavoure.l to cast a doubt on the sincerity of all men of property. In regard to the resignation of three of the Birmingham Delegates I ail there was an unfortunate suspicion existing in the minds of the working classes towards men of title and men cf pro perty. The repeated desertions which I.ave taken place in past years of men of title who pretended I to advocate the cause of the people gave rise to this want of confidence (a feeling which I regret sincerely), and when we have a secession of men of pro perty fia m the Convention, I stated that the feerog of distrust would be strengthened. It is as absurd as' it ; is un jus t, to represent me by inference from 'qr. A Cleave's speech, as aspersing the character of men of property . i n th e C onvent i on. Mr. Cleave's opinion, or misapprehensio n , is not my speech. But probably it is the custom of the Press to give the part of a report which suits their own convenience. I must, however, confess such a course is new to me, and you must excuse me. If th e or i g i na l remar k s had been reported, I would not have complained. Yon, how ever, seem to view these subjects in a different light, 1 and give partial reports, remarkable only for their inac curacy, and after having conveyed the intended error, you leave my defence in the bands of Mr. Marsden, I and consider it of so much importance as to occupy ; four lines. I would be as unjust, as your report is un fair, should I presume to doubt the patriotism and sin cerity of those men of property in the Convention, who do honour to themselves and to the cause, by risking all in support of the poor and oppressed. .1 remain, Sir, your's respectfully, P. M. 111'DOUALL. ANNUITIES OF PENSIONERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sul,—As the same attempt may be made on th pockets of the people as there was by the Adelaide band in 1834, I wish with your permission to call atten tion to th e amount t h at m i sera b le attempt (against the wishes of the people) saddled the nation with. Two urillions sterline would about purchase the annuities of pensioners termed retired officials. I took the trouble in a paper of that day to go elaborately into the items, but as that would be too long and unnecessary, as any one and every man should interest himself on such occa sions to prevent these persons playing such fantastic tricks—mark, at the expense of the tax-paying people. We have not the slightest objection for them to lavish their ill-gotten funds as they please ; their legalised plunder there is no char.ce of the nation ever getting at ; but we have our eyes widely opened to the facts, and we must indeed be simple if we still permit such frauds to be continued. There is a ridiculous notion as to a military Personage being an honourable man. Was it so to lend himself to the scurvy attempt I have before stated, at 1 mo ment when it was impossible by a vote of the House of Commons to show the feeling of the limited cGnsti tueney who had votes ? and this fine martial individual to be led by the nose (no difficult job) by a German Personage, whose ingratitude to the s(!ft &mimics who Voted 100,000/. per annum as a bait for her suffrages in their favour, who rewarded them only with " I tank you, sare, mouch," and sting her pseudo-benefactors— as the nation pays her the 300/. per day. The great effort of id. per day on Exchequer Bills only produces 95,0001. per annum, and we tamely look at a Royal cormorant without even the necessity of parade, whi c h narrow minds consider necessary t o i mpress the igno rant, absorbing their wholesale amount, while we are getting grey in our endeavours with such severe competition to get returns so as not to be drawing upon our small capitals. Of a truth it is time something was done to curb the rapacious maws of Royalty, and those who ape its follies at the expense of the naticn. It would be therefore well to have, while Parliament is sitting, a national guardsman at each House, who should attend, as the pike do at the Theatres, and when any known characters, or leeehe.s: on the public purse appeals, ejaculate " Take care of your pockets." I am, Sir, your obedient servant, L. P. " Lord I3rougham, .5,000/. ; Lord Lyndhurst (three months Chancellor), .5,0004 ; Sugden (three months Chancellor), 4,0001. Just a sample of the'host of pen sioned officials. Why are these men not made to do surre. thing for the money? We do not want men to be kicking their heel, at Baden-Baden, with brown curly trigs, THE CORN LAWS. TO THE EDIT-757-THE SUN SIR,--1 am a constant reader of your %aluahle Paper, and have agreed in a ll your remarks relative to the Corn-laws. About six weeks ago a county meeting wa called, to take place in th e Shi re-hall in Worcester to petition Parliament again s t any a l teration in the Corn laws. Lord Lord Coventry came forward as the farmer's friend, and said he was a large land proprietor in the county, and when he saw the commercial part of the kingdom come forward, as they did, to press upon the agriculturist, he could not sit still and allow that use ful body of men to be ruined from such changes in the LAWS. But to the surprise of the Farmer and Trades man, what had that Noble Tory Lord since been doing ? Why, rent his steward, to all the farmers who occupy the heavy wheat lands, and said that unless they signed a document to pay 10 per cent. upon their present rent, from Michaelmas last, they should be served with a notice. About five years ago, his Lordship took 10 per cent, off the clay farms, and not two years ego the 10 per cent, was put on the tenantry again, and now 10 per cent. more is put on, which makes 20 per cent., because the prices in Worcester Market average about Os. 4d. per qr., and that from a deficiency of crop is the cause ; My iaformant is one of his Lordship's tenants,who rents a a large clay farm, of upwards of 800 acres, not mare than seven miles from Worcester, and has rented under the present Lord's grandfather, father, and now his Lordship, and never neglected paying his rent when called upon. This farm, and others in the same neigh-- bourhood, forty years ago, was rented at 10s, per acre ; now they are 'ram 20s. to 305., and from the improved system of farming by furrow draining, &e. &c., the firms certainly produce double the crop s t h ey did i n those days, but the expense s i n improving the land have kept the farmer's pockets about the same average they did when rents were low and less productive ; therefore I think, instead of the farmer being benefited by the Corn-laws, it is the landlord only, for they are put up and down just as the market rises and falls. There are no leases given to tenants in this county above seven years, and at the expiration of that lease, if the tenant have improved his land, his rent is certain to be raised. Vet, remember we have many most excellent landlords in our county of AVorcester, and Hereford ; and his Lord ship stood rather high in the estimation of our neighbourhood round Persho:e, until now. The Worcester Chronicle, our Liberal paper, gave this statement the week before last, but the Editor was wrongly informed, he only stated that his Lordship had put on the ten per cent. that was taken off when wheat was at 13s. per bag. The two Tory papers did all they could to bring his Lordship unstained out of this terrible dilemma ; but the Chronicle last week still persisted it was true, and the farmersr e s i give the Chronicle g r e a t c re dit f or t a king t nr ;of t my ta in way it did. I hope y o u will excuse the lengt h t,ibutl statement knoly will you vl do o s lth te in m k en ths iodtotht: theC rena-ulasieree. repealer., and I h o p e it w ill go through justice all the Li beral Papers.
