WASHBOURNE, Publisher, Whole sale Bookseller,*and Exporter of Books, has REMOVED to larger and more convenient Premises, No. 18, NEW BRIDGE STREET, BLACKFRIARS, where all communications and deliveries may be made: N.B. To bo•LET, on LEASE, at a moderate Rent, his late Pre mises, No. 48, Sallsbury-squarc, Well adapted either for private or trade purposes. of last night's debate, but some old fallacies were re peated with so much confidence, that it may be pro per to refer to them. It was observed that the effect of limiting the hours of labour would be to transfer much capital to the Continent for the esta blishment of rival manufactories. Our first answer to this hi a very short one. Consols closed yesterday at 98,1. There is, therefore, abundance of capital in the country to invest in foreign manufactories, if these manufactories offer a profit of more than 3 per cent. upon the outlay and wages. But they do not, and cannot. In every country some manufactories must exist, because of the coarser pro ducts of labour the carriage is more than the cost of raw material and manufacture, and this easily enough accounts for the success of some foreign speculators, up to a certain point—but beyond that point they cannot go, though all the millowners of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Cheshire were to migrate, say to Austria, in a body, and by a favour .of a miracle, like that which trans ferred the - Cottage of Loretto, to carry their mills with them. The home market is the indispensable nurse of manufactures upon a great scale nurse as necessary in those maladies of depression, to which every commercial pursuit is subject, as in infancy. It is the hoine (including the colonial) market, which has eallea into existence the manu factures of Great Britain, and which by consuming five-sixths of their produce, supports them—this market the migrating millowners cannot take with them. It will remain with us as long as we protect our agricul ture, our colonies, and our capital; it will demand more of our manufactures than all the world beside, and we need not say that they who manufacture the most, and the most steadily, will in the end always produce the best and the cheapest commodity. The country which has the greatest amount of capital and the best markets, will always maintain the ascendancy.] in manufactures ; and the only effect of the contest of sueli a country with others will be merely a competition which shall make its labourers most miserable.

By the way, we must not overlook a feature which, in days of yore, was accounted of importance, nothing less than a GOLD MINE, r•Extract from a description of England and Wales in 1760 :—" It ought not to be omit; ed, that at Taynton, near Newent, on the northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was discovered about the year 1700, of which a lease was granted tosome refiners, who ex tracted some geld from the ore, but. had not spirit to fellow it up." Again, in England's Gazetteer, printed in 1790, is the following Taynton, Gloucestershire, four miles S. E. from Newent, six from Mitchel-Dean, and seven W. from Gloucester.

There is se much to commend throughout that it will be difficult to avoid injustice in shortening the representation which custom has awarded to such announcements.

THE uc CIENT MANSION ON THE SUMMIT OF RICHMOND HILL (to which the Countess, some ten years since, added the two wings, and encountered an outlay of ten thousand pounds) is, despite of this (in candour it must be proclaimed), in need of a searching repair; this, with the aid of a decorator gifted with a brain farm. will then surpass its original character and it will not be doubted that the splendid scenery in front (which it is fearle sly asserted is not surpassed throughout the kingdom) will render the expense a matter of little import; in fact. not worth a second thought.—The following is a short analysis of the treat which is in store to all those who know how to appreciate a singular combination of taste and vettu, RICH IN EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE ARTS, viz. : SPLENDID BUHL, MARQULETERIE, AND INDIA JAPAN CABINETS, TABLES, CL OR M OCKS.

MR.

No. 4, CLEVELAND-SQUARE, has recently been fitted up by the talented ARTISTE OF THE DOWAGER QUEEN, or Joseph Gould E n , one of HER , AJESTY'S ESTABLISHMENT, who has a lease at only 1001. a year, for 21yr ars, in consequence ofhis vast and clever outlay. The accommodation that will be found within com prises—two attics, and a commodite on the third floor; on the second floor, two capital bedchambers, enjoying pleasant views ; first floor, two elegant drawing-rooms, opening into each other, 33 feet long, with semi bow windows, balconies, and verandahs ; ground floor, dining parlour and breakfast parlour; and on the basement the usual domestic offices. The house adjoining, No. S, in Cleveland-row, of which possession may be had, in candour it must be admitted, will be much improved by recurring to the same skill, taste, expense, that has rendered its next door neigh bour so unexceptionable; and as the tenure is freehold, and possession is amongst its advantages, it will not be difficult to enter into rivalry with its compeer. It contains—on the third floor, two attics ; second floor, twe good bedrooms ; first floor, drawing-room, with back ditto • ground floor, tws , good parlours ; basement, kitchen, pantry, &c. The drawing-rooms have a pretty PEEP IN I'o THE GREEN PARK and flout both houses. The abode occupied by Mr. Gould can only be seen, by a ticket from eleven till one, on the three Saturdays antecedent to the sale The one adjoining may be viewed, by a ticket, any day after the 14th of March. In conclusion, it is quite certain there is no situation where ire. movement is more visible than in the vicinity of the purchases to which the public are invited.

IN LINCOLNSHIRE, NE AR 10 BOSTON.-IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY SUITED TO TRUS TEES, WHO WOULD INVEST IN PERFECT SAFETY, PRODUCING £2,700 A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE TITHES. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that he is directed by the Devisee, in trust of THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on TUURSDAY, the 25th of April, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVESTMENT, Freehold of Inheritance, and uniting very many substantial advan tages-- FRITH'S BANK, and EARL'S CROFT ESTATES. Are situste within two short miles of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BOSTON : one of the best markets' extant, surrounded by capital roads, and adjoining water carriage to all parts of England. The Land in this vicinity has, from days of yore, been proverbial for its supe rior quality ; it grows the best Wheat and Oats, and the Pasture is famed for i ts capability in fattening Bullocks very quickly, and those who are at all conversant in the soil of the land will know how to appreciate these important facts. The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tenants-at. will ; it will, however, be exceedingly desirable to make in this respect very considerable alterations. The Farms are used in their ancient state, and are infinitely too small. Sound judg. ment will direct that they be divided into five or six, instead of the present number; it will then be a matter of great facility to provide substantial Yeomen to get rich upon this greatly favoured soil: but Mr. Robins would fail in his duty to the Public if he did,not;state that the Houofses and O ut-Building the s th ro ughout the Property are greatly in need repair ; indeed, suggestion he would venture to make is, to rase them to the ground, and with the materials, and less than £2,000, Threeace the First-rate Abodes, with corresponding farming premises, repl present works of antiquity. It should be observed that there is a saving clause to this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Searby's abode and buildings need no THE Y PROPERTY NUMBERS and this is the largest farm.

THE WHOLE WITHIN A RING FENCE, besides the unpretending, but really comfortable little public-house, known as " the Monson Arms," where " mine host" Eno knows and practices what belongs to the entertainment and comfort of his friends. The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's judgment to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years back has been £2,660 a year. The times having varied, Mr. Robins has subjected it to a careful personal survey, and he is not a little pleased to proclaim a very welcome fact, that when the outlay already noticed is accom plished, the property will very readily produce, with an unexcep tionable tenantry, from £2,700 to TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. The division of the soil is very encouraging ; there are 521 acres of capital GraZin Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow Land, and 455 acres of soil congenial to Wheat and Oats ; the former yielding five and six quarters and the latter from seven to ten quarters per acre.

George Robins's territory, consists of 43,0 O acres of land, and not far from several ports, and contiguous to the Lea. It is to be divided into farms suitable to the views of the rich, the industrious, and the poorer class of society. He requires no rent for twelve months; then he proposes to let it for Sixpence an acre only for three years ' • and at a Sh il ling an acre for as many years a ft er as may be required. A man whose capital extends to £l,OOO cannot fail to realise an in dependence at a railway pace; and ev"n £5OO is sufficient to hold out great encouragement. There is no time now for delay. This spring, that is in June, Scotian', England, and Ireland should fur nish their quota of honest jolly agriculturists, who will have great encouragement from Mr. Robins, if their credentials be satisfactory. The following is a succinct statement of the property It is situate in THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, net two degrees from the mouth of the Knysna, a navigable river for vessels of 403 tons, ten miles inland ; seventy miles from the port of Feaufort, and three hours' ride only from the beautiful dis-. tact of Swartland. The Land is principally pasture, with a few thousand acres for corn and wine ; it is admirably ad pted to depar ture sheep, and the Merino Wool is highly appreciated in England. 'I here are Vineyards, and the Cape Wine is very fine. 'I he Madras Cavalry are entirely supplied from the Cape, as well as the Mauritius and St. Helena. Slabberts Poort it is called, a most improveable Estate, and in the hands of Englishmen, or more especially, a few FIRSTIR ATE SCOTCH FARMERS, would soon become invaluable. Its position is on the direct road to the frontier, where a profitable business might be carried on inde pendent of farming. It is near the ports of Massel Bay and River Knysna. The latter will probably soon be opened by the completion of a projected road from Beaufort district is it. Vessels of 4t.io tons burthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on board four miles up the river. 1 here are at the Cape ENGLISH SHEEP FARMERS, with moderate capital, say from 1,0001. to 3,0001. each, who have, within the last two years, located themselves in the Colony ; and it Is not a little gratifying to behold the fine flocks of well and crosa-bred sheep, so abundantly scattered about; a convincing proof that the grazing qualities of the land are adapted for cattle as well as sheep. The wool flocks are fast increasing in all parts of the Colony, and, it is said, frogs the frontiers alone, ONE MILLION OF POUNDS AT LEAST, WILL BE EX. PORTED THIS YEAR. The Cape must soon FORCE ITSELF INTO NOTICE, for the investment of capital and introduction of labour, THE NEW TARIFF IS A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE, and the time of its introduction most apropos. Th - Colony will now export in large quantities Salt Provisions—Fat Oxen are produced there at 4f., or I M, per lb., the hide worth 20s.

GLOBE.—We have no means of affirming or denying the following statement, which we copy from the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday :—" The Premier himself has addressed a letter to the Irish Executive upon the subject of national education, in which he distinctly de clares that no future patronage is to be bestowed on clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland, who not only are not inimical to the system of national education, but who will not undertake to place all the schools in the parishes or dioceses in which they may be promoted, under the immediate management of Dr. Murray's Board." The journal from which we quote describes the statement as " resting upon such authority that its truth admits neither of question nor of doubt." Whe ther it be founded on fact, or whether it be a mere fabri cation, is of comparatively little consequence for the purposes of our argument. The statement has ob tained credence, and produced one of those outbursts of Ultra-Protestant fury against Sir Robert Peel's Government, which show how little that powerful party in Ireland are disposed to trust his policy, and how cordially they detest his Administration. If the statement have its foundation in fact, this de cisive and well-directed movement in the right di rection may well provoke the bigots of the Pro testant Church to employ their vituperative powers in stirring up strife within the ranks of the Govern ment supporters. Their efforts would, however, be neu tralised, and the confidence of the nation would be strengthened in the Administration, by the assurance which such a step would give of the settled purpose of Ministers to support their own plans, and not longer allow the only system of education which can benefit the people, of Ireland to be thwarted and counteracted by those on whom the Government patronage is bestowed. The reproach which has been cast upon the Government that fosters the opposition which it is doomed to encounter, and thus renders itself ridiculous on the one hand, while it provokes the Catholic population of Ireland to resentment on the other, would be rolled away. Ministers would, at least, seem honest in their professed wish to extend the means of educating the people by their Educational Board. The system of education taught in the schools founded and supported by the funds entrusted by Parlia ment to that Board, is professedly approved by the Government. The schools are designated, " Govern ment scho3ls." Yet, with an inconsistency which has rendered the honesty of the Government suspected, and has contributed to the dislike with which its rule is re garded by the Irish people, the most inveterate oppo nents of the Government schools have . been selected to fill bishoprics, deaneries, and othe r dignified posts in the Church, as they have become vacant ! The Govern ment has thus stultified its own plans, and contributed to multipy its difficulties, and to deepen its own dis grace ! It will, therefore, .be politic in the Govern ment, and advantageous to the people of Ireland, if the statement of the Dublin Mail be well founded. But if the statement be an invention, it has, at all events, been received as a truth by the Ultra-Protes tant party in Ireland. The leaders of that party have evidently taken alarm. If the opposition of the High Church clergy to the education of the people—except by the exclusive system which they persist in opposing to the system of the Government—should be checked, as checked it would be by the declared intention of the Pre mier, " to appoint English clergymen to benefices or bishoprics, as either may become vacant, should the clergy of Ireland continue contumacious"—if such an intimation has been communicated, clerical conversions to the Government scheme of Irish education will be thick "as leaves in Vallambrosa." Very little more would be heard of resistance to the only system which is worthy of being called " national." The schools which the clergy have set up against those of the Go vernment would be given up ; and the clamour which has been raised against the Government plan of edu cating the people would be heard no more. STANDARD.—Lord Ashley's motion, to reduce to ten working hours the period during which women and children should be employed in factories, was rejected in the House of Commons last night by a majority of 7- 188 to 181. Sir James Graham's proposition, to ex • tend the number of working hours to twelve, was in turn rejected by a majority of 3-186 to 183. In this anomalous position the question stands at present. But this is not the only anomaly in the matter. The House determined on Monday that women and children should be forbidden to work in factories during the night, and that the word " night" should be interpreted to mean the time included between six P.M. and six A.M.; by this determination, still unrescinded, it is impossible that women and children can be present in the factory more than twelve hours; and, allowing the pauses absolutely necessary for rest and food, that they can work more than ten hours. Lord Ashley's purpose is, therefore, virtually unaffected by last night's decision, and must remain so until last Monday's vote shall be directly and distinctly rescinded. Sir J. Graham declared last night that he would on Monday explain the course that he will pursue in this perplexed condition of the question. Let us respectfully intimate to him that there is but one course open which will not involve the Government in inextricable dif ficulties, and a prolonged contest, and that is, gracefully to yield to the expressed will of the House of Commons on Monday night ; a will, the expression of which was not, as we have intimated, re tracted last night. If, however, the House of Commons had unequivocally retracted its steps, it would surely still be a grave question, whether a statesman ought to join in the retrogradation, supported by a majority of only 7, or 7 times 7. There is a great difference be tween withholding a promise and withdrawing a pro mise already made—the first may be regarded as a wrong, but it cannot be considered an insult ; the other is an insult as well as a wrong. Now, without the testimony of Sir Robert Inglis, every one must feel that the vote' of Monday would be re garded as a promise of restriction of the hours 9f labour by the factory labourers ; but the statements in the Honourable Member for Oxford's admirable speech prove by facts what every one's own feeling must have anticipated—the factory la bourers believe ths!t they have the House of Commons pledged to their relief. And is it just, is it w ise, to disappoint them, relying upon the sic volumus of a majority of seven ? It was truly said by Sir James Graham that there are experiments from which it is impossible to retire ; but we think that the experiment of a linlitation of the hours of labour is n o t one of these experiments. We are convinced that should the labourers in factories find the effect of a ten hours law to be to reduce wages and diminish employment, they would as earnestly pray for the repeal of such a law, as they now pray for its enactment. The promise of an experiment, from which men expect great benefit, is, however, an engagement from which, indeed, it is in no case courteous, just, or safe to retire ; and such a promise the House of Commons has given. But we will say no more upon this view of the matter, becouse we . adhere to the hope that . even yet the vote of Monday will be faithfully followed out, even in the present session ; that it will be law before another year we have no doubt whatever. There was nothing new offered in the course STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 22.—A consi derable business has been done in foreign wools this week, chiefly in the low and middle descriptions, and prices are steady. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 22.—We have not any alteration to report in the state of this market during the present week. AKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 22.—We cannot re port any favourable change in the demand for combing fleece wools, and as there is no hope of farmers submitting to lower prices, holders generally are very firm. The demand for blanket wools is fair, and full rates are maintained. LEEDS.—There was a very thin attendance of buyers and manufacturers at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, which circumstance, together with the severity of the weather, has been the cause of a considerable falling off in the demand for summer Tweeds, particularly for the lower sorts. The markets have also been duller for goods of all descriptions than for several weeks past. The stocks on hand are, however, very small for the season, and prices are about the same as during the last month. Business has been dull in the warehouses during the early part of the week, but there has been some improvement during the last few days. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—Pieces - have certainly moved off in good quantities, and it is said the last packet from America brought over good orders for the manufacture of this market, which. with the approaching spring trade, will no doubt keep the market animated for some time to come. Prices continue very firm. Yarns to some extent participsiie in the same degree of dulness as is apparent in the wool market, and the buyers exhibit great caution in their purchases, and are only buying from " hand to mouth," in anticipation of supplying themselves on more favourable terms. The demand for all kinds of wools continues to be very limited, and a greater disposition evinced by dealers and staplers to sell ; as such we may fairly quote all sorts a shade lower. MANCHESTER,-THURSDAY EVENING.—As was anticipated in our last, the very low state of stocks of yarn on the Con tinent has at last compelled shippers to purchase for their early spring shipments, though as yet it has not been done to any considerable extent ; still a commencement has taken place, which must now continue. Prices during the week have in consequence been steady. In cloth we have not much change to notice, but buyers continue their operations for China and India. Printing goods generally are declining. The demand for domestics for the home market continues good, but grey fustians are not so brisk as we have seen at this season.—Leeds Mercury. Tun LAST CAMPAIGN IN ATFGHANISTAN.—The narrative which has just been given to the world by Lieut. Greenwood, of the 31st Regiment, describing the late triumphant campaign in Affghanistan under General Pollock, will excite great interest and curiosity, and scarcely less among general than among military readers. No personal account has hitherto reached the public of that tremendous retribution which so speedily followed the treacheries and disasters of 1841 in Caubul ; and the terrible particulars of that retribution as here recorded will be read with an avidity only second to that which awaited the narratives of Lady Sale and Lieut. Eyre—to which this of Lieut. Greenwood forms an almost necessary sequel and companion. The author speaks as an actor in, and an eye-witness of, almost every thing he relates ; and his narrative being written in the plain off-hand language of a soldier, carries with it those unfailing evidences of truth and authenticity, for the absence of which, in cases of this nature, the graces of style and the charms of fine writing are poor substitutes. - THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period; whilst " Rowland's Me , ,essar Oil," with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu-. merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are, au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title gver all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally p re f erre d , its consequent great Amend excites the cu t aity of un principled shopkeepers , who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine" Macassar O il : whereas t h e genuine article is w holly the invention and property of A. Ro w l an d an d S on , and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders a b o rtive any attempt to discover its Component parts—thus proving the imposition of all other articles bearing the title of " Macassar Oil." The genuine article has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" on th e Wrapper.—All others are fraudulent counterfeits! THE BRITISH MUSElM—Within the last three weeks several valuable articles have been presented to this national institution ; among them is a Chinese bell, found in a Budhist temple, near INingpo, and presented by her most Gracious Majesty. This bell, which is placed in the hall, at the foot of,the grand staircase, excites much attention among the visitors ; in height it stands about four feet, and is covered with Chinese characters actd figures. 6i_-Zf_ FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
