This sum is divided into 5,500,000 francs, for the railroad from Tournay and Furboise, 6,000,000 for the laying down a double rail on those lines on which at pre sent there is only one, and 1,000,000 for certain other expenses, among which is a grant to the company for making a railway from St. Trond to Hasselt.

The Prefect of the department of the Manche, M. Ribouet (the Deputy of the department), and M. Noel- Agnes (the Mayor of Cherbourg), had an audience of the King of the French on Wednesday, to present an address from the Municipal Council of Cherbourg, ex pressive of their regret at not having had the honour of receiving his Majesty, as they had hoped to do, on his return from England. A letter from Marshal Bugeaud has been reeeived at Perigucux (says the Constitrtionnel), stating that the affairs of the East would force him to postpone his re turn to France for upwards of a mouth. It is probable that it will be only temporary, if it be true that the Duke d'Aurnale has refused the Viceroyalty, or even the Government-General of Algeria. The Reform observes, that the news from Spain may be summed up in two lines. " Blood has been shed at Barcelona. AI. Bresson is giving dinners at Madrid." The Municipality of the City of Paris, says one of the journals, has for some time been engagedin the improve ment of the public market- places. It has repaired those of La Valle, St. Germain, Blanes Manteaux, St. An toine, La Matea, Sze., and is building an oyster-market in the Rue Montorgeuil. This is not all. Tho Mardi) des Innocenti and its hideous adjuncts are to give way to a magnificeut halle-g4n6alle, and in a few days a con tract will bo entered into for improvements in the Mar-- cb6 St. Martin. According to the statistics of Paris (says the Quotidi enne) this city contains only . one baker for every 1,664 inhabittlats, and but one wine-dealer for every 83. If this statement be correct, Father Mathew would be a very useful person amongst us. The number of Protestants at present in Bavaria is 1,226,753. In the last four years there has been an in crease of 25,531 ; in that period 8,805 Protestants emi grated from the kingdom, 281 turned Catholics, and 179 Catholics became Protestants. A letter from Frankfort states that the mother of the Rothschilds, who is 93 years of age, is seriously ill. The Eco del Comercio of Madrid, of the 31st ult., states that suicides in that capital aro of daily occur rence. Three persons, one of them a Frenchman, de stroyed themselves en the 29th. Mr. C. Greville was the Clerk of the Council. in Waiting, tler Majesty was attended by Lady Portman, Lady in Waiting ; the Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting; and Captain Meynell, Groom in Waiting. The Prince was attended by Colonel Wylde, Equerry in Waiting. Sir R. Peel, Sir J. Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord G. Somerset, and Mr. Gladstone, arrived at the Castle from town to attend the Council. After the Privy Council, Sir J. Graham, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Gladstone, Lord G. Somerset, and Mr. C. Greville, took their departure from the Castle for the Slough station of the Great Western Railway, travelling to town by a special train. Sir Robert Peel remains at the Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. This morning the Queen and Prince Albert went to the riding-school for equestrian exercise, attended by Colonel Wylde. Her Majesty left the Castle with Prince Albert in a pony carriage, and returned on horsebacli. The showery and uncertain state of the weather prevented the Royal Family from taking their accus tomed airings to-day. Colonel Arthbuthnot left the Castle for town this morning, and is expected to return to dinner. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, G.C.8., arrived this evening on a visit, on his return from the Chinese Seas. _ Captain Francis Seymour had the honour of join ing the royal circle at the Castle at dinner this evening. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Phi lippstabl left Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, at Whitley Court, Worcestershire. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester house. _ _ The same journal announces that General Prim and his co-accused had asked to be tried by the ordinary tri bunals. The following are the names of the accomplices of Prim :—Ventura Otlega, Ramon Sanz, Miguel Ferrer, Manuel Marin, Calisto Fernandez, Nicholas de la Bar rera Montenegro, Rafael Garcia, and Miguel Molin. LAW AND POLICIA. The Master of the Rolls yesterday, in giving judg ment in cases for the reduction of bills of costs, many of which were of small amount, said that he was surprised at gentlemen entering into such expensive litigation on such small matters. He could impute it to nothing else than an angry feeling on either side. Such things could be arranged very agreeably otherwise. In the Court of Queen's Bench a rule for a new trial was granted in the case of Edgely v. Tassull, on the ground of excessive damages, and of misconduct on the part of the jury. It appeared that after the jury had been locked up some hours, they sent in a message stat ing that they were completely exhausted, and request ing to be allowed some refreshment. The request was allowed by the attorneys on both sides. The result was rather an extraordinary ono. The " exhausted" jury contrived to drink three gallons of stout in about the same number of minutes, which they had no sooner done than they ordered two gallons more, which was refused, and they then almost immediately brought in the verdict in question. Mr. Justice Erie took his seat yesterday as one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. A little girl named Theresa Lewis, was committed to Bridewell for one month as an imposter from the Man sion House. She was in the habit of dropping eggs in the street, and then crying . lustily to attract the atten tion of the passengers, and in this manner she collected a great deal of money. Charles Hunt, of Little Wild-street, engraver, ap peared at the Guildhall, to answer a complaint made by Mr. Follett, a publisher, 63, Fleet -street, for obtaining 41, from him on Saturday last, by the false and fraudu lent pretence that a certain engraved copper-plate pre sented an original and accurate representation of the winning and the second horse that ran for the Doncas ter St. Leger stakes, in 1844, the same being the view of the race of 1841, published at the head of the Eclipse Sporting Almanac for 1842. The defendant admitted that it was the plate of 1841 " with alterations," and offered to return the money if time were allowed. The case was accordingly adjourned. At Clerkenwell, Jeremiah Murphy was charged with using violent language, and threatening the life of Mor gan the task-master of the Holborn Union, and was committed for fourteen days. Joseph Waite and William Leonard were brought be fore Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough-street, charged with having burglariously entered the Angel and Crown public-house, in Warwick-street, Regent-street, with in tent to rob the premises. Tho policeman on duty ob served that the cellar of the public-house had been opened by a crow-bar, and on entering he found the prisoners secreted behind a barrel. They were remanded. The Queen's Advocate and the Solicitor-General had an interview with Mr. Gladstone yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. Sir R. Peel arrived at his residence in Whitehall gardens yesterday morning from Brighton, and after wards proceeded to Windsor Castle. Sir David Davies arrived in town yesterday even ing from Witley Court, Worcest ershire, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Dispatches for the Governor of New Zealand were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town yesterday, from Beechworth House. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO BUR LEIGH HOUSE. NORTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. —Preparations are being made in every town in Northamptonshire through which the Queen will pass en route to Burleigh House, to give her Majesty a welcome and loyal re- ception. On Wednesday last it was officially announced to the Mayor of this borough, that her Majesty would pass through the town on Tuesday next. A public meeting of the inhabitants was held at the Town-hall this morning at eleven o'clock, for the purpose of adopting measures for establishing a dis pensary as a permanent memorial of the visit of her most gracious Majesty the Queen to this town. A spirited subscription was entered into to carry out the object. Upwards of 3001. was collected at the meet ing, and a committee was formed to collect further subscriptions. The dispensary will be called the Victoria Dispensary. There will be a public dinner on Tuesday, at the Angel, the Mayor in the chair, and on Wednesday evening there will be a ball at the George Assembly rooms. Her Majesty will be met at Weedon by the Lord- Lieutenant of the county, the Marquis of Exeter, and the High Sheriff, Sir Henry Dryden, and will be received by a guard of honour formed by the troops at present quartered there. The Lord-Lieu tenant and the High Sheriff will accompany her Majesty to Northampton, where the Mayor and cor poration will meet her Majesty, and escort her through the town in the procession, accompanied by the clergy and gentry of the borough and neigh bourhood. A county meeting has been convened by the High Sheriff, and is to be held to• morrow at the County hall in this town, for the purpose of adopting such measures as may be agreed upon to demonstrate the loyal feelings of the inhabitants of the county generally on the occasion of her Majesty's visit. At a meeting of the Town Council of Stamford on Tuesday last it was resolved that the council should in procession meet the Queen at the borough boun dary on the road to Wothorpe, in which direction she will enter the town, and passing round the corner of Dr. Arnold's house in St. Martin's, will after proceed ing a few yards enter a t th e ga t e s of the Marquis of Exeter's park ; so th a t th e ro yal cavalcade will scarcely at all be seen in Stamford, and not pass ten houses in the towu. A h o p e i s f e lt that her Majesty may on a subsequent day honour the inhabitants by showing herself in th e b oroug h. —A public meeting was held at the Town-hall on Wednesday, and was attended by upwards of 200 respectable persons, by whom it was resol ve d t o un it e w ith the council in the procession to meet the Queen and the Prince on the Wothorpe-road, and in dutiful addresses to the royal pair. A subscripti on f or ena bli ng the poor to rejoice on the occasion of the Sovereign's presence was en- . tered into, towards which the Rev. Nicholas Walters was empowered:to contribute 501. in the name of the Marquis of Exeter, " f or en t er t a i n ing the school chil dren and the poor of the several parishes of Stamford and St. Martin's." Great preparations are ma ki ng by the Marquis of Exeter for the recepti on o f th e Queen. All the tenantry, amounting t o 400, h ave received orders to meet at Wakerleyford-b r id ge , a t three o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th, t o escor t her Majesty to Bur leigh, and the tenantry will afterwards dine at the different public-house s i n St am f o rd, at his Lordship's expense. Triumphal arches will be erected on different parts of the Marquis'slproperty ; one of them, from a very elegant desig n by Mr. Charles Richard son, is to span the west entrance to the hamlet of Wothorpe. The christening at Burleigh is to take place on Wednesday ; th e ca ke, made by Mr. Oswin , of Stamford, is about four feet in circumference, and weighs nearly 601b5., without the silver ornaments whith which it is tastefully d e corated.—Stamford Mercury. It is generally understood that Earl Fitzwilliam's hounds will meet at Burleigh on one of the days on which Prince Albert will be there, in order to afford his Royal Highness an opportunity of hunting with one of the best packs in the kingdom.—lbid. PETERBOROUGH.—We understand that our ines timable Bishop (Dr.Davys) has been requested by the Marquis of Exeter to administer the rite of baptism to his infant daughter at Burleigh next week, on the occasion of the Queen's visit.—lbid. ted I A young man, named Caleb Basan, was charged at Marylcbone with having stolen a clock from a house which he had hired furnished. Tho prisoner said that the house was let to him for two yoars, and that any time within that period he was to have the liberty of purchasing the lease, fixtures, and all the rest of the property upon the premises. He was remanded. At Hammersmith, Mr. Charles Hartley, floorcloth manufacturer, of Greville-street, Hatton-garden, was fined 20s. and costs for ill-using a horso. adopted throughout the French army, for the traininbr of the horses. Mdlle. Caroline, who appeared in Eng lttnd dome time since, was a pupil of M. I3aucher, and rode a horse trained by him ; but her performance was less classical, and had in it more of the arts of the arena, and less of the severity of the school, than that of Mr. Davis. TRIAL OF GENERAL PRIM. (From the Castellano.) After a general preamble, in which the dangers of conspiracy ate laid down and the necessity of punish ing accomplices enforced, the Procurator-Fiscal thus states the charges against the accused : " Don Joaquin' Albenea, one of the consi,::atcrs, with the view of tranquillising his conscience, and without having b en urged to do so by any one, and of his own proper will, revealed spontaneously to his Excellency Don Ramon Maria Narvaez, in the two communications which have just been read to the Council of War, the horrible conspiracy which was prepared, and which was ready to break out at Madrid and in the other capital cities of the kingdom. The assassination of the first authorities was to be the commencement and signal of the bloody drama which these monsters sent from hell were about to execute in sacrificing innumerable victims. The discovery of arms and ammunition, the declarations, and everything else, have come to confirm the truth of the above-mentioned communications. The persons in arrest at this moment, in consequence of this accusation, are to the number of nine, to wit, General Don Juan Prim, Don Ventura Ortega., Don Ramon Sans, and MM. Ferrier, Maria Fernandez, Montenegro, Garcia, and Molia. It aesults from the insurrections that the first, the Count of Kees, is the chief who directed the whole conspiracy. Albenez acknowledged this frankly. Tomas says in his declaration that he was solicited by Prim to gain over the soldiers of his regiment in order to aid the plan. The witnesses Felice and Don Miguel Huguet confirm this. Theresexists, besides, a proof against the accused that he i gave his two carabines in order to execute the assassi nation, and to arm the revolutionists. The proof of this is complete. It appears from the declarations of Simon Gomez, of Manuel Araguas, and of Don Pascal Rous sonlieres, that the carabines belonged to the Count do Reus, but for greater certainty we have the declaration of the Count himself, who recognised them as belonging to him. This conduct on the part of the Count do Reus has nothing astonishing in it, for when the judge of the first instance at Reus gave him notice that placards had beetii posted in that town which excited the people to revolt against the Govern ment, the accused answered that the writers of the placards were in the right. It is proved by the declara tion of Huguet, Felice, and Albenez, that Don Ventura Ortega, Don Ramon Sans, co-operated in the plan, of which the Count de Rens was the chief. Don 141leol Ferrer, another of the conspirators, denies everything. He says that ho knows neither Montenegro nor Media. Yet the son of this last declares, that Ferrer came to their house twice on the 24th of ctober. Carlos Mar tinez, Ferrer's servant, affirms, that he saw Manuel Marin entering his master's house. Manuel Marin also says, that he does know Ferrer, Molia, Fernandez, and Montenegro ; and, according to the declaration of this last, they served together in the Municipal Guard. Pen salve declares that Marin was at Molia's house on the night of the 24th, which confirms the statement of this latter person's son. According to the declarations of Al benez Callisti, Fernandez also was in the plot. Nicolas de la Barrero Montenegro; another conspirator, waited for Albenez in the place fixed for their meeting. The Inspector of the Corps of Inspection and Public) Secu rity heard him make use of a very significant expression relative to the carabines. Raphael Garcia says that he does not know Montenegro, and that he did not go on the 24th to the house of Molia. Lastly ; Miguel Molia, in his declaration, affirms that he does not know any of the conspirators, and according to the deposition of his son, Ferrer, Marin, and others came to his house on the night of the 24th. The first was also there in the fore noon. Joaquim Pensalva, who lives at the house of Molia, saw Marin and Garcia there-on tho evening of the 24th. Upon being confronted with Molia, the latter acknowledged the truth. Besides this, Molia threw the carabines into the well, as had been previously arranged in case of danger, which is proved also by the declarations of those employed in the armouries, that the arms in question were only a short time in the water. The fiscal declares that he considers it useless to endeavour to convince the council of war of a fact of which the proofs are evident ; espe cially as in military processes it is sufficient that the members of the council of war be persuaded, by certain appearances, of the reality of the offence in order to inflict capital punishment. The offence in the case before us is that of sedition. The ordinance on this subject is explicit, and pronounces the punishment of death, ac cording to article 10. Consequently, and in conformity with that article, with the proofs which result from the instruction, and with the advice of the jurisconsult, Don Felix Colon, in his work on military tribunals, says that even on probable and presumptive evidence, capital punishment may be applied, the fiscal demands that Don Juan Prim, &c., be condemned to be shot, as being evi dently comprised in the above cited article of the ordi nances. (Signed) " TOMAS AZNAR. " Madrid, Nov. 1, 1844." (From the National.) The following account of the manner in which Prim was entrapped, and of the interrogatories he underwent before the Procurator-Fiscal, as furnished by the Madrid correspondent of the National. It may be necessary to state that this correspondent is not very scrupulous as to matters of fact, and in general gives a colouring to statements which does not add to their credibility : " MADRID, OCT. 31.—Prim's trial will begin to-morrow or the day after, and I cannot describe the interest at tached to it. Ho has chosen for defender General Schelly, who has joined with himself two distinguished lawyers ; one of them, Don Eugenio Moreno Lopez, is a young man of rare talent, an eloquent speaker, and one of the ablest jurisconsults in Spain. He distin guished himself as deputy to the Cortes in 1843, and he has accepted this case with great warmth. Prim was denounced and sold by a certain Albenez, not the colonel of that name, but a simple commandant, very intimate with Avarineta, the head of the police. This Albenez had figured with some ardour amongst the Progressists, and his opinions, well known, caused him the loss of his employment. He was then without resources, and his intimacy with Aviraneta let him to hope that Narvaez would restore him his command. The superintendent of the police took care not to lose se good an opportunity. Prim, since his arrival, did not conceal the thorough disgust with which the conduct of the Moderados, to whom he and his friends had opened the doors of Spain, inspired him. He expressed himself on this point with an energetic indignation. Narvaez heard of it, and was exceedingly angry with the young general. Aviraneta undertook to ruin him. The Commandant. Albenez was sent to him ; ho spoke of conspiracy, an nounced that many old officers were ready to take up arms at the first signal ; lie gave names, and offered his services ; he soon obtained confidence in return for jhose which he gave, and when Aviraneta thought the proper moment had arrived, he invented the famous trap. The arrest of Prim, without any external fact having war ranted it, would have caused even in the Cortes an un favourable impression, but connected with assassination, it threw over the prisoner a varnish of shame, and, with the aid of that horror which is always called forth by the act of an assassin, every excess might be proceeded to. That is what they expected and what they executed. At present, in the opinion of every man of sense, this dark affair is fully exposed ; nobody believes any longer in the lying in wait and the carabines thrown into a well ; but Prim is in custody, and the judges who are to try him declare beforehand that he is guilty. It appears certain, besides, that the accused has disdained all sub terfuge. If I can believe a person whose word can scarcely be suspected, the following were in substance his re plies to the examination which he has undergone : 'Q. You are accused of conspiring to overthrow the throne and the laws P--A. Leave aside the the throne which I would defend, and the laws which I respect. I wanted to overturn nothing but a shameless faction, which is compromising the Queen and violating the Constitution.—Q. You allow that you wanted to overthrow the Government?—A. Yes, without doubt ; as long as I have a drop of blood in my veins I shall feel myself entitled to conspire against the enemies of my country, against those persons who want to destroy its Constitution, ruin its liberty, and prepare the most dreadful disasters. Q. You must be aware that it is not allowable for a man to rise against an established Government ?—A. The Moderados told me the same thing when I took up arms, to my great regret, against the Duke of Victoria. I then feared that the Constitu tion would be set aside and violated, and I did not hesitate to wage war on the Regent. My conduct is more con sistent at present, for what I then feared the Moderados have realised. They do not allow a trace of that liberty to remain for which we fought. Yes, I was decided to conspire against them ; and, had I succeeded in over turning them, I should at least have repaired a part of the mischief I effected in aiding them to return to this country, which they are ruining and dishonouring.' Prim did not once contradict this language, and you may conceive the rage which it excited amongst those who accuse him. The ultras of the party do not hesitate to say, 'He must be shot ; an example is necessary ; and, if Narvaez hesitated, we would go to the Palace, and ask for Prim's head.' And who are they who raise the cries of death? The very persons who represented the condemnation of Diego Leon as a work of blood and vengeance." ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHI THEATRE (BATTY'S). A performance of a novel and ingenious character took place at this theatre on Wednesday evening, for the second time in this country, it being modestly announced in the list of the acts of horsemanship as " the appearance of Toby, the horse of the Manige." A rider, dressed in the costume of the day, enters the arena on horseback in the ordinary manner, and takes the horse through a variety of evolutions, of which it would be extremely difficult to give a just description. The horse commences by trotting slowly, and with a pause between each action of the legs, preserving the most perfect equilibrium, and appearing scarcely to touch the ground. The delicacy of this action (the French call it le piaffe) is perfect—the repose of horse and rider is marvellously complete. There is no blundering, no false step, no disregard of time, no violent contortions. Above all, there is not that lavish outlay of whip or spur which too frequently accomvanies exhibitions of the kind. The obedience of the horse is so complete, that he and his rider seem to be one machine, and to possess but one will.

During her stay in the Gulf of Mexico the Trent experienced very severe weather, and was obligeo leave Tampico without being ableto ship the treasure, amounting to 1,721,567 dolls., 80,000 dolls. of which was on account of the Mexican dividends, which was all brought to the Bar. The Trent remained off the Bar till the 29th of .September, in the hope of the Bar becoming passable, but as the weather continued bad, she was obliged to leave, and continue her route. At Vera Cruz all the treasure was ship ped on the 2d of October, during a heavy norther, with the exception of 130,000 dolls, oa account of the Mexican dividends, which the Administration would not run the risk of embarking under such circum stances. Santa Anna was at his farm near Vera Cruz, and was increasing the number of his troops, with a view to compel the Senate to comply with his views, He was about to marry again into a family at Vera Cruz, his first wife having been dead about a month. The trial of Mr. Bagot, at Demerara, had termi nated by his being found guilt. HURRICANE AT lIAVANNAH. The island of Cuba was, on the 2d of October, visited with a most terrific hurricane, which conti nued, however, only a few hours, passing over without doing much damage from that time until the morning of the 4th. On the morning of the 4th it commenced raining, and continued so during the day. The wind at first blew right from N.E., veering afterwards to E. ; and at dusk it became a calm. At this time the thermo meter was at 19 of Ranmnr. It began to blow at eight r.m., and also rained. At nine and ten P.m. the wind bl©w a hurricane, and increased during the whole night, with occasional flashes of lightning, ac companied with gi;...at destruction of property in the city of llavannah. The principal damage to the houses was sustained in the suburbs, but scarcely a house escaped without injury. POLITICAL ECONOMY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l was surprised yesterday to see your de precatory remarks on the science of political economy. It is just now the fashion (and obviously for the in terest of many) to run down that science, and I am sorry that any remarks of yours should seem to sanc tion an erroneous prejudice. It is my strong convic tion that a due regard to the maxims of enlightened political economy would be infinitely more beneficial than the best-intentioned philanthropy, if misguided, and the violation of them proportionally injurious. It seemed to me particularly unfair in you to say that the maxims of political economy il e gla been acted on since Mr. Huskisson's time, and then V; psk what good they had done. They have been only very gas r tially acted on during that period. What is our whole system of protective duties, for example, but one con tinued and flagrant violation of the plainest principles of political economy f Political economy must be tried before it can fairly be pronounced wanting. If your meaning is, that the enunciation of scientific principles has of itself no power to move men, and that their sympathies and emotions must be appealed to before they will actively exert themselves, I can understand your position ; though surely, with all rational and reflecting men, the clear demonstration of principles should be sufficient to decide their con duct. Let the higher motive, and the pure and generous affections by all means be cultivated as the impulse both of private and of public conduct; but to throw aside political economy, because it only pointe out how to do good and avoid evil, without more directly appealing to the sympathies, is simply to substitute blind impulse for enlightened benevolence. Nor does it appear in practice that the study and ad vocacy of political economy imply wantof good feeling in its promoters. Where shall we look for better feeling, a more generous and earnest desire for the good of the oppressed classes, than in the leading members of that great school and ally of political eco nomy—the Anti-Corn-law League ? My own belief is, that the agitation of the great cause which the League has taken up has given the impulse to all the benevolent feeling and expression which happily cha racterise the present age. Why should a just and clear perception of the means of doing good be unfa• vourable to the existence and operation of a benevo lent intent ? Combine the maxims of political eco nomy with as much Christian feeling as you please, but, in matters of legislation, do not deprive the latter of the inestimable guidance of the former. Ignorant legislation, even with the best intentions, has done, is doing, and may db enormous mischief, such as to mock, perplex, and paralyse the most zealous coun teracting exertions of private charity and generosity. There are always those, too, who have interests of their own to serve in had legislation, and who are ready enough to throw Christian benevolence on a wrong scent by directing it to fruitless fields, and deprecating the "cold, heartless maxims," in the vio• lation of which they find their own wasteful gain,. to the injury and misery of millions. Political economy condemns war, slavery, monopoly, excessive and insi dious taxation. What an immense amount of bloodshed, wickedness, wretchedness, poverty, scarcity of employment, with all their incidental and concomitant evils, would have been spared, had poli tical economy been sooner understood and really acted upon! We are taught to believe that by a higher power all evils are in some way made subservient to good,' but we are taught also to "overcome evil with good." The evils arising from the neglect of political economy are among the mysteries of Providence, and one good result of them should surely be to teach us impressively those truths of practical wisdom from the ignorance or transgression of which they have arisen. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, J. R. Liverpool, Nov. 8, 1844. THE EFFECTS OF CHEAP FOOD UPON THE WORKING CLASSES. (From the Struggle.) When a family is poor, all the females are obliged to work to secure food, before they think of anything else ; some to the winding frames, some to shoe-bind ing, or any other employment. But when they be come well off; that is, when they have sufficient to pay for food, rent, fire, and their every day necessa ries, how do you find the females then employed? In " needle work," which means something connected with fine clothing and fashionable array, or in draw ing, music, &c.; so that when it is not requisite to work for necessaries, they employ their time in pro curing luxuries. It is just the same with a nation. In proportion to the amount of labour requisite for procuring requisites, is that which remains for luxu ries. The fewer hands that can find the country with food, and the more remain to provide luxuries. Hence we see what an advantage it would be to get our food by exchanging as far as possible the proceeds of our machinery for it. In this country, with industry and sobriety, there ought to be no lack of food; the only strife should be as to the extent of enjoyments in the shape of comforts and luxuries. Suppose, for instance, all our food for the next year came without ploughing, or sowing, or reaping, some would think it would be a sad affair for all the la bourers. But the effect would be, that being secured of the first necessary of life, all the labour in the country would then be turned to building better houses, making better roads, cutting railways, making parks, providing superior clothing, and richer furni ture. Some would be employed in one way, some in another, and each exchanging the productions of his labour with others, every class would get a greater proportion. One thing is certain to a country which has plenty of food, that the people need not be ex posed to excessive labour ; but if, like Englishmen, they will work, they are thee sure, with cheap food, to get a greater amount of luxuries. Continued cheap food would soon lead to short time; and it would soon give the working classes better houses, and better furniture, and a greater command over all the enjoy ments of life. It is the pivot upon which all other enjoyments turn. DROGHEDA AND KEELS RAILWAY.—At a most in fluential public meeting held last week at Kells, a unani mous vote of support was passed to the proposed Drog heda and Kells line, in connexion with the Dublin and Drogheda Railway. Mr. Eckersley, the able manager of the latter Company, explained that the capital had all been subscribed, and expressed an opinion that the Act would be obtained without difficulty, in which case the works could be completed within two years. —Railway Record.

IRI H LANDLORDS. ---- _ The Dublin Evening Packet cont'ziies the fo remarks on Mr. Sinapson's pamphlet, endlitied 4 11 • Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with _neniarlit kn. the Relation between Landlord and Tenant:"—' Mr. Simpson, we need scarcely remind our raiseers, gii an Englishman of vast experience in matters rellenAt lia the improvement and value of land in his own countrfs He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ire land, he has made it his business, almost as a matter t f necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. Hi feels for her wants, and has contributed as much , perhaps, as any man in his time, to improve her resources ; by encouraging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we, therefore, hold to be beyond the reach of suspi cion on the score either of interest or partiality. ills testimony mast be regarded as invaluable, as it is un questionably unimpeachable ; and ;'hat is his evidence ? In this work Mr. Simpson, adverting :9 the charges again;; Irish landlords, under the several ~pads of in equitable tenzes, excessive rents harshly exsei:4i, dis regard of the comf:gt and improvement of terin% be., thus expresses himself : " These are grave charges, important both as regarda the class against which they are brought, and from the obscurity in which they veil the true source of existing evils, the origin of which must be soug ht before p ro p er remedies can be applied. Viewed in the abstract, it is difficult to conceive that harshness acid cruelty of disposition should prevail in an educated via-se be longing to an enlightened age and a Christia., coun try. I have before raised my humble voice iii this cause. Eleven years' intercourse with Ireland iiirmy professional engagements has rendered me intirnsittly acquainted with the relative position of landlord end tenant; extensive engagements in the valuation of estates (for public sale and mortgage) in twenty of the thirty-two counties of Ireland, have afforded tne oppor tunities of arriving at the true value of land ik that country, and furnished me with tests respecting it, Itet Of usual occurence; and my conviction is that, even under the disadvantages of imperfect cultivation and trade veloped capacity, land in Ireland is, as compared wits land in England, and of itself, generally speaking, rather+ under than over rented. I, of course, except eases Of iliCett. mediate tenure, the odium and evils of which sysfeirare charged upon the head landlord ; whereas the eiiaiing wretchedness and distress arise essentially from subfa ling, and the consequent minute subdivision el land It is, however, but justice to say, that I have observed some middlemen who, by proper and humane coadegt to their under-tenants, have not deserved the rcipluali which this system has given rise to." On the score of excessive renting, the alleged tnefetZT grievance of the Irish tenantry, Mr. Simpson completkly exonerate the landlords. "I have," he says, "Re quently surveyed, valued, and sold, deep-stapled Sind which was not let higher than from t2ss. Co 345. the plantation acre (equivalent to from 15s. 6d. to al& ect the statute acre), and thin, but under proper o:titi vation, grateful surfaces, as low as 12s. ild. tun) Ws: • t h„-: plantation acre, or 7s. 4d., 6s. 9d., and 6a. 26., th e statute fte;e." And these, he tells us, are the average rents paid to i dlords in fee by the occupying tenant, in most of the couni,!?.s in which be had valued estates. We know not, of course, for indeed, is it of much eArk sequence, what the defamers of the Irish landlords 1.1 either island will say to this, but On fact is one which certainly ought to make them hide their heads for very I shame. Thus has the charge of excessive MO been satisfactorily disposed of. The introduction of middlemen, and the minute glib division of farms, or what is generally known as the 0:m -acre system, the writer pronounces to be, to a certain extent, an evil ; but very justly attributes it to the no. cessities arising out of a long war, and the consequent rise in the value of agricultural produce. The injurious effects, however, of that system, he remarks, have beset detected, and the practice itself is, consequently, de clining at a rapid rate. Yet he affirms, and we agree w it h l‘im, that the retailing of land in small portions would, if pr,;;lerlY, exercised, be often an advantage to the rural poor atla C. 9ttier tenants, who at present occupy alf-labourer, half-tenant. the anomalous position on 3 CHEAP FOOD THE PAUSE OF HIGH WAGES. (From the Straggle.) It is pleasing to lee able to report from time to MILO the success of our mill workpeople in asking for an advance of wages. And we do trust the period is gone by when masters shall doggedly attempt to turn a deaf ear to the reasonable demands of the labourer, or when the workpeople shall be so badly advised as hastily to throw themselves out of erpployment if all they ask is not conceded. Everywhere a better spirit towards the workmen is being evinced, and we hail this as a happy change ; for who are so deserving of being well fed and well used as those whose wht ke powers are devoted to the enrichment of the nation? We cannot avoid embracing the present opportunity of reminding the operatives of two things ; first, the fallacy of the monopolists' cry, that cheap bread would produce low wages. They see before their ayes a most decisive confutation of this erroneous proposi tion ; and if they will consult other years of cheap ness, such as 1835 and 1836, they will find that we have always a good trade when food is low. It will be seen by a refereace to our exports, that the re vival of the cotton trade could not have arisen from the extra quantity sent abroad. But when We re member the amount of saving in the food of the whole people betwixt the price of 1835 and 1840, we ale at once what it is that is driving our shuttles anti com manding fresh mills into existence. The eecbnd point we wish them not to forget is the other elan trap fallacy, that masters " would drop their wages if food was cheap, and that it was for this Ourpoge some of them were advocates of free trade. Itre al ways maintained, that whatever might he the dispo sition of a few, masters in general had no power to do any such thing • and we always foretold that Put in proportion as fo od got cheap, would the men 'ac quire the power of standing up for themselves, end obtaining the full market value for their labour. ilow should it be otherwise ? Cheap food has a twofold operation in favour of restoring the balance of taboo —by lessening the supply and increasing the deviandi. We have often felt indignant to bear some of ale leading agitators, whose first principle in politide " the supremacy of the people, represent this BUl* people as being absolutely in the hands of their out ployers. The truth is, labour is like any other marketable article, regulated by supply and demand'' So long as the buyers of labour can realise sprat by it, they will not refuse it, although an advanced pride is demanded, and especially when they know that if they will not give the price somebody else will. Thb+ is sure to be the case, except when combinationg exist ; and we are glad to hope that these are all breaking up, both among the masters for depressing' the price of labour, and the men for raising it to more than it is worth. Let us have free trade among our selves as well as with other countries, and the la bourer is sure to gain by it. A CIIURCII-GOING CAT.—An eccentric old lady, who has attended the Moresby Church as long as any person in the parish, and who has an inveterate hatrect to soap and water, from a persuasion that by degrees it. would remove the skin of her youth, and introduce that of wrinkled old age, is in the habit of taking her tom cat along with her into the sacred edifice, in order, as she says, to amuse the poor creature and keep it r crying. Ou Sunday last, while the congregation were offering their responses in the liturgic part of the ser vice, the cat put her head out-of the lady's pocket, and uttered a cry as audible as any of the congregation assembled except the clerk himself.— Whitehaven Herald. I MANUFACTURERS AT PERTH.—We understand OM a manufacturing establishment here has taken premises to commence the manufacture of the goods called 111:1101.9 —that is, dresses of cotton and woollen combined, by means of power-looms.

The prices of band loom weaving have advanced a fraction during the list month, and the prospect of the winter trade here 13 favourable for the workman.—Perth Courier.
