The DEMI AM.P ARK Establishment of the Institu tion is open for he reception of Persons of both sexes in the upper walks of life suffering under mental disturbance or ner vous complaints, but who are still capable of appreciating the blessings of social intercourse. The invalids reside with the resident Medical Officer and his lady as one united family. The visits of the usual Me dical Attendants and Friends arc admitted at all times with out previous notice. The attendants are educated persons ; and recreation and amusement provided on the most liberal scale. Denham-park is a Proprictory Establishment, and managed by a Committee of Gentlemen, and under the general surveil lance of its Vice-Patrons, Noblemen and Gentlemen, who have no interest in the Institution but what is prompted by a desire to benefit mankind. _ _ _ _ ..... The Resident Medical Officer is a member of the College of Physicians, and has the sole direction of the medical treat ment of the invalids, and has no interest whatever in the emoluments of the Establishment. AppliiOr terms and prospectuses to the Secretary, James Taylor, Esq., addressed, Denham-park, near Uxbridge, Bucks. It is not proposed that this Association should sell any coals, but only supply its own members. It will have no individual objects to serve. The gentlemen provisionally acting disclaim any other interest than that which is common to the community. They have advanced the necessary expenses of its formation, which they expect to be repaid, but no more. They will fill up no places or offices save provisionally, and those without salary. The Association will be a Joint Stock Company, but without the ordinary characteristics of Joint stock Companies. There will be no deposits —no responsi bility,no self-constituted directors or officers—no liability to the laws of trading, partnership, or bankruptcy. A gentleman or tradesman who takes tea or twenty consumers' shares in this Association may, while he remains in London, get his 50/. or 100/. worth of coals at their natural cost, with the addition of 5 per cent. to the capitalist ; and, when he chooses to go into the country, need not hav e one f ar thi ng o f h is money lying idle or unproductive, but, by exchan gin g hi s con sumer's tickets for capitalists' tickets, will get his 5 per cent. until he return, and then exch ange aga i n f or consumers' tickets, and save probably 30 per ce.it. in the price of his coals. A self-protecting Association against the Coal Monopolists was formed in Edinburgh the year before last, which had the effect of enabling coals to be procured during the dreadful winter of last year (when they reached the enormous price of 455. per ton in London) at a cheaper rate than during the preceding summer and autumn, and which enables the best Scotch Coal to be now procured in Edinburgh at 12s. per ton, and the Newcastle Coals at 17s. 9d. per ton. It is proposed that there shall ultimately be twelve Director s, each holding 100 Shares, six from the Consumer's class, and six from the Capitalists' class, with salaries to be fixed upon at a general meeting of the Shareholders. Two Directors of each class, eligible for re• election, to go out annually. All appoint ments of permanent officers to be made by the Directors thus chosen. The Duke of Wellington, in a speech on the finances of the country, during the Administration of Earl Grey, said, "He was not opposed to the repeal of the coal tax, or any other tax, merely because it was a reduction of taxation, but the Noble Earl, would recollect, on a former occasion he thought that the best plan of redu c i ng t axa ti on was that which relieved the con sumer ; and, regarding the coal trade, he had said that the best way was to correct the abuses to which it was subject, and he was sure the abuses in that trade operated more than taxes in raising the price of the article." The machinery of the system to which his Grace alluded may be traced in the following facts. In the North the great Coal owners enter into a bond, with heavy penalties to each other, nit to send more than a certain quantity of coals to the London market, and to sell coals to none who will not sign a paper agreeing to conform to the regulations of waiting their turn. In the South those regulations are, that, when coals are in the Peol at 235. 61 per ton, only forty cargoes shall be sold—when 235. 9d. and 245., fifty cargoes—when 245. 3d. to 245. 6d., sixty cargoes—when 245. 9d., seventy cargoes—and a reduction of ten ships for every shilling below 235. 6d. The operation of this may be seen in the following table : An Account of the Number of Vessels coal laden sold from the Pool on the Coal-market each Market-day during the month of December, 1838 ; the Price of the Best Coals (Lambton) ; the Number of Ships waiting for Meters at Four o'Clock ; and the Number detained in the different Sections of the River, between Bugsby Hole and Gravesend : AVIES'S CANDLES, 6d. per lb.; Wax Candles, Is. 2d. ; Fine Wax, Is. sd. ; Cocoa Nut, jOd. ; extra fine Wax Wick Moulds, 7d. ; transparent Wax, Is. 9d. ; genuine Sperm, h 9d. ; genuine Wax, 2s. ld. ; Yellow Soap, 465., Ms., and 60s. per 1121bs. ; Mottled, 625. and 665. ; Windsor, Is. 4d. per packet ; Palm, Is. 4d. ; Old Brown Windsor, Is. 9d. ; Rose, 2s. ; Camphor, 2s. ; Almond, 2s. 6d. ; superfine Seali ng W ax , 4 s . 6d per lb . ; genu i ne Sperm il, as. per gallop.

Resolved—That the most satisfactory evidence having been given of the extortions and other abuses of the Coal Com binations, and of the means by which the same may be defeated, this Meeting approves of uniting the Consumers of Coal into an Association, with such Capitalists as may join them, under the name of the " Anti-Coal Monopoly Association." ! 'IL Resolved—That the following gentlemen, having signified their support of the cause, be requested to act as a Provisional Committee, with power to add to their number : CHAIRMAN. J. T. LEADER, Esq., M.P. Attwood, T., Esq. M.P. Pryme, Geo., Esq., M.P. Blewitt, R. J., Esq., M.P.

Resolved—That the following Address be issued as the Prospectus of the Association ; that the same be advertiied ; and that the Provisional Secretary be instructed•to - cause the same to be left of the honSes of all Consumers of coal throughout the Metropolitan Districts:— " AIDE TOI, ET LE CIEL T'AIDERA." PROSPECTUS OF THE ANTI-COAL-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION. FIRST CAPITAL, 500,0001. In 50,000 Consumer's Shares of 51. each • and 25,000. Capitali s t Sh ares o f 101. each. Each resolvable into the other when convenient ; and the atter bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum ; ,he Consumer's Shares renewable for ever. No Deposit--no Subscription Deed—no Act of Parliament— no Debts—no Credits. The object of this Association is to secure to its Members of the consumers' class, Coals of every description, at the cheapest rate at which they can be procured, without being subjected to any of the monopoly regulations or exactions. In order to effect this great object, it is necessary that the Association should be self-dependent; that it should have its own pits, its own vessels, its owif wharfs, warehouses, wag gons, &c. ; or that it should have contracts, binding down parties for any of them at the lowest stipulated cost. Great and praiseworthy efforts have been made by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and others, to break down the Coal Monopoly, and with considerable success ; but it must be evi dent to all that so long as the chief sources of supply rest in a few combined hands—so long as the Public cannot command their own means of production, carriage, and delivery—no iso lated efforts, however gigantic a n d p ersever i ng , can en ti re l y succeed in placing the necessary article of fuel, at the lowest cost, in the cellar of the consumer. The Monopolists have set at defiance the Legislature; they set at defiance the Lord Mayor, and all other individual oppo nents ; they would crush any single-handed rival disposed to open trade; they dare not set at defiance the combined Con sumers ; they cannot crush a Hundred Thousand Shareholders, with the means of supply in their own possession. Besides the enormous artificial cost laid on coals by the deten tention of vessels—the limiting the supply beneath the de mand—the agency of factors—the large per- centage of profits to cover bad debts and long credits—there are great frauds in the mixing of coals, by which the public are injured to a large extent. This Association will save the cost and prevent the fraud. Men who are their own Coal-merchants can have no temptation to tax or cheat themselves. The preliminary measures for this Association have been going on for twelve months. Every inquiry has been made necessary for the completion of the undertaking. Persons con nected with the monopoly in the north are desirous of breaking from it, and have offered their pits at a valuation to be taken in shares. Other mines of coal yet unworked are offered at a low seignorage. Contracts are offered of the best Silkstone and Flocktou coals of Yorkshire, of the coals of Staffordshire and Derbyshire, and of the Welch and other coals of great value for particular purposes. Contracts for freight., for wharf age, for delivery are offered ; and even now, before the posses sion of their own resources within themselves, excellent domestic coal may be placed in the cellar of the consumer at from 21s. to 225. per ton, leaving Is. per ton to pay five per cent. in terest to the capitalist, and all the expenses of the manage ment.

There is incompleteness in this respect, that p l un dered and insulted vassals of the few. And we ask, its totals do not include the population of parishes which on what other grounds can an • ietellirsent ReformerTo ryism show embrace parts of two counties. On the whole, however, the Practicability of a perm an ent m resistance . to there is accuracy enough to lead to a just conclusion, and It cannot be effected on the policy of the present Ministry and and there is no omission which does not affect one sect for that pokey is cut down to little more than their good as much as the other : wishes. Even now it quivers on the single thread of Irish administration. It cannot be effected by the hope, f pro gressive strength, for every election d'rmons'rates the in creasing power of the corrupt influences. It cannot be effected by the combinations, threats, or violence of the Chartists; for they only alarm other classes, invite coercion, and add another coterie badge to the in signia that are already too much multiplied. It cannot be effected by the popularity of economical reforms, for these all pass one after another, into the class of unat tainables ; from the simplest of all, the taxation of Dis senters' consciences for the worship of a wealthy Establish. ment, to the most generally interesting and odious of all— the taxation of every person's bread for the profit of a wealthy proprietary, every grievance is shown practically to be contingent for its redress on a further reform in the representative system. Where, then, can a stand be made —how is adequate strength to be realised ?—what shadow of hope exists, for baffling the wiles and force of the Tory faction, but on the ground of such further representative reforms as are most generally approved and most obviously necessary ? As in the propositions themselves, those of the Ballot, Household Suffrage, Triennial Parliaments, the abolition of the property qualification, and a fairer distribu. tion of the representation—we have been thought to go too far by some, and not far enough by others ; so on the question of time we have been deemed both too late and pre too late we shall not be if our appe a l i s m—ature re sponded to in a kindred spirit; nor can we think that we are mooting too soon the re-organization of the Liberals when the Tories are deliberating whether they shall, or shall not, strike for the resumption of the Government. The enemy is at the gates—we hold our own only by Tory I toleration. Now is the time to sink our differences, and uproar our best and broadest symbol of union. The petty majority—if majority it shall be--on the lath, will do little for the cause of Reform unless we are raised above the peril of narrow escapes. Such a msjority may be indemnity for past mistakes, as to the ground on which alone a Li beral Ministry can stand, but will, of itself, be no security for the future. For that security we are endeavouring to provide. It would, indeed, be sufficient for a full vindica tion of the present discussion of Representative Reform, to point to the divisions on the Corn-law question. For the manufacturing- and trading, and operative classes, the pre sent House of Commons bears the inscription which Dante placed on tile gates of Hell. For them all hope is de nounced. They are not only told to go and perish, but told so by a majority on which no exertion of town constituencies can make any considerable impression. In the defects of the Reform Act that majority stands invulnerable. Those who will the end must will the means. The repeal of the Corn-laws is an object for which there aro plainly, now, no other means than representative reform ; and the most practical reform, in kind and degree, is that which will best advance the purpose of untaxing the people's bread. We have endeavoured to indicate it. The honest advo. cacy of cheap food left us no other alternative. Not to theoretical speculations of political right, but to the prac tical terms of a practical union, have we invited the atten tion of all classes of Reformers. The more numerous the points of disagreement amongst them, the more bitter their recent disappointments, the more uncertain the prospect, and the more critical the time, in that same proportion the more urgent the occasion for giving our suggestions a full and calm consideration ; for acting upon them, if ap proved; and, if not, for showing in what other way there is any permanent prospect of good government for the corn munity.—Morning Chronicle. Rats, the Whigs of the vermin tribe!, are said to ex hibit an instinctive alacrity in abondoning their usual haunts on the approach of any imminent danger. The prophetic and calculating sagacity of those noxious animals has been imitated during the past week, with characteristic shame lessness and singular succeess;by our quondam 'Ministerial Contemporary the Morning Chronicle. Forgetful of past favours, and entertaining no very lively anticipation of favours to come, the Chronicle, abandoning the filth-stained banner of Lord Melbourne, under which it has so long crawled and crowed, now hoists the colours of his dupe and victim, the ill-used, moral, Turton-and- Wakefield loving, melodramatic Earl of Durham. " The present Ministers," says our newly enlightened Contemporary, " have no banner; and, if they will not hoist that of popu lar right and security, others must." Having thus duly de nounced and discharged Viscount Melbourne, our Contem porary proceeds, "with good emphasis," but most equivocal discretion, to call out his bidding for the future favour r of the embryo Prime Minister of his choice the Earl of Durham.

Here the Protestants are somewhat more than two to one ; but see the number of instances in which the superiority of the Catholics is quite overwhelming. In Armagh, Catholics and Protestants are nearly equal. It is the same in Londonderry ; and we know a worthy living pried - , whose father was at one time, the only Catholic inhabitant in the ca pital of that county. In Fermanagh the Catho lics have a majority-they have a greater one in Tyrone-a greater one still in Donegal and Monaghan -and they exceed the Protestants by more than four to one in Cavan. As for the rest of Ireland, to pursue the comparison, except by the eye, would be a waste of time. Look, we say to the reader, to column 1 and to column 2, and decide whether Ireland is to be delivered up as a prey to that portion of the minority which calls itself Conservative or Orange. It is ever to be borne in mind that some-nay, many-of the best, ablest, and most wealthy Protestants in the country are voluntarily and cordially embarked in the same bot tom with the people. Many of the principal landed gentry, numbers of the professional and mercantile re spectability and wealth, and no small portion of the en tire middle, manufacturing, and agricultural classes of the entire Protestant population are with the people. It is only a faction that wants to tyrannize over the whole island. It is not a small faction ; it has numbers, and wealth, and rank, we are sorry to say ; it has perse- ' verance ; it has union ; it has courage. But look, reader, to column I and to column 2, and say whether the peo ple of Ireland are to be trampled upon by this faction, if it had ten times its present importance-nay, if it com prised the whole Protestant population of Ireland. Let it. be asked what practical advantage this faction ever rendered, or proposed to render to Ireland ? Many good, and somegreat men, were against Poor-laws ; but it was the business of this faction, it was in their very nature to be opposed to them. Did they ever battle for one commercial or other benefit for the country ? Many have been, in their desperation, for the re peal of the Act of Union-did this faction ever ask for a realization of any one of the advantages that Act proposed to confer upon Ireland ? They are instinctively in favour of Corn-laws, because, what ever may be the effects of these laws upon proprietors or occupiers, they assuredly do no good to the great bulk of the people. But who can credit his „ears when he finds this faction declaiming against at?out lay upon public works such as is contemplated by ARISTOCRATIC LITERATURE.— In the de lightful new novel of " The Fergusons," we have another instance of the growing literary taste and talent among the younger branches of our highest nobility. The name of its writer (which can scarcely long r emain a secret) will doubtless add another to the long and distinguished list of the Normanbys, Mahons, Porchesters, Russells, Bray_ brookes, Nugents, Wharncliffes, Sec., who have recently so well asserted the intellectual character and pretensions of the mos tilustrious aristocracy in the world. " The Per gusons" gives as true and lively a picture of the actual state of high society, both in London and the country, as any work of the kind (and there are many and admirable ones), which has issued from the press during the last few years.

P . spectively ; so that " Lambeth, Liverpool, and Abs. Laurence" may no longer, as under the present Reform system, return the same number of Members. Of the new revolution recommended by the Chronicle we shall in this place only say, that, without proposing in so many 1 words the substitution of a republic fora mixed monarchy, it virtually does the same thing. Why, then, mince the mater? Why add the dastardly vice of hyposrisy to the-equivocal 1 ! virtue of deserting the no-banner of its former masters the I: Whigs? Why not at once avow the real, the ultimate, I' object of the proposed changes ? For that such changes I would necessarily, and not tardily, bring on the downfial of the Throne, the Church, and the hereditary aristocracy, ' and would throw the whole power of the State into the' hands of the moneymonster in the first instance, and of the y mob in the second, is self.evideut. This may be X re - f - commendation t o a certa i n c l ass o f politicians; but as the 1 Chronicle, and those who commend the system new ed vocated by the Chronicle, do not find it expedient to Amy like what they are, but would fain appear to be champions of, not revolutionary republicanism—in other words, speculative high treason—but moderate and progressive reform, it may be as well to warn the unwary that the aggregate of the changes alluded to could not by $ possibility consist with the maintenance of the Crown, the Protestant Establishment, the hereditary branch of the Legislature, or the existing arrangement and distribution of property. We have already witnessed, and most of us with disgust not unmixed with dismay. I some of the practical results of the Reform Bill. We have seen that many of the glooomy apprehensions of the opponents of that measure have been realised, insomuch that they who resisted it when proposed are compelled to maintain it in its integrity as established; not because they 'l are content with the change already produced, but because they feel and know that any further change in the seine direction must inevitably make bad worse —must neces3a rily reduce to a minimum the influence of the mo narchical and aristocratical principles of the Constitu tion,and confer all practical power in Legislation on the representatives, or rather delegates, of the least intelligent and respectable classses of society. With a tyrant majority of turbulent and ambitious R eli-• cals in the Commons, representing the passions and the prejudices, and the ignorance of their constituents, and t neutralizing the i n fl uence o f those representing th e ins terests of the agricultural, the educated, and the ar7stocra- ' tical classes of society, how long would the House of Lerds be permitted to exet cite its Constitutional functions as an-,. independent and essential branch of the Legislature ? How i long would the public creditor remain unplundered ? How i long would the p ro p erty of the Church remain unconfis- I cated ? How l ong wou ld th e prerogatives of the Crowe, or the Crown itself, be respected cr endured ? So long. 0 and so long only, as might be required to organise the preparations for their final overthrow. If this be tile object, if purely democratical institutions be indeed the object of Reformers, the system of the Chronicle may be as good as any other to accomplish the end in view. That such is the real state of the case we should have been led to suspect, • . had there been no other reason to influence our opinien, by a column-long panegyric on the Chronicle in the last num ber of our "philosophically Radical Contemporary the Spectator." When the Spectator can thus descend to beplaster the effusions of the Ministerial crawler, we can require no further proof that the latter no longer merits the title, but has apostatized from Whiggery, effete and offensive Whiggery, and has thrown himself into the open and all-receiving arms of Radicalism. We are assured by the Spectator that the Radicalisation of the crawling Chronicle has produced great consternation in Downing_ street and the Ministerial coteries: and this we can with. out difficulty believe. A Ministry with but one "morning • " utensil" among them can hardly afferd to lose that one. But as to the Tories being alarmed, that we can assure our Radical Contemporary is a mere mistake. For the Whigs and their utensils the Tories have but one sentime n t, an d t h at i s not one of alarm. r • The Whigs are a mere dirty, place-hunting, self-seeking, no-principled faction, who, but for the monkey manage- r ment of the Radicals in making them their catspaw, must long since have fled in disgrace from the stage of political' life. The natural enemies of the Radical the Tories are: and must ever be; and for this simple reason : we believe that the foundation of their politics is—treaeon ; and the essence of their religion—indifference, heresy, and schien. Tories have no wish to witness a repetition of that Radi calism in action, which once before terminated in the mur der of the Monarch, the persecution and overthrow of the Church, and the supremacy of a genre of sanguinary zealots and unprincipl e d i mpostors . That all who call themselves Radicals arc aware of the ultimate tendencies of Radice lism we will not maintain, for we do not believe. But that it is such as INC have described it to be, incompatible with the existence of any form of go‘ernment or system of society but that of a downright democracy, we are per. suaded, and therefore do we deprecate and detest it.., 1 Ilforning Post. ST. PAUL, COVENT-GARDEN. The Vestry-Clerkship of this parish has become va cant by the resignation of Mr. Moseley, who has held that appointment since the retirement of Mr. Corder, on the formation of the Strand Union in 1836. Mr. Moseley is a solicitor, possessing a very exten sive and highly-re,pectabic practice, the continued extension of which has, it appears, determined him to relinquish an appointment, the duties of which are found to interfere with his professional pursuits. Mr. Moseley's announcement of his intended resigna tion, at a vestry meeting held for the election of officers on Thursday, was received tlith general re gret, and several of the most influential vestry men endeavoured to prevail upon him to continue in of fice ; he remained, however, firm in his resolve, dnd a. committee was thereupon appointed, consisting of him self, Mr. Wardell, the Duke of Bedford's churchwarden, Mr. Roche, Mr. Charlwond, and ore or two other pa tishioners, to consider and settle the duties and amount of salary of his successor. Mr. Clark, the rector's churchwarden has, in compliance with the wish ex pressed by a considerable number of the rate papers, offered himself for the vacant office. Mr. Clark isZnot a professional man, but his experience in parochial business is by no means inconsiderable, having served ie offices of auditor, committee man, over seer, and churchwarden, in such a manner as to have gained for himself the general esteem of his fellow_ parishioners. The office of vestry clerk, in the adjacent large and popular parishes of St. Martin-in-the-fields, and St. George, Hanover-square, has been held for many years by non-professional men, and no inconvenience has been felt therefrom. The election will probably take place on Thursday, the 11 th of April. A numerous meeting of Mr. Clark's friends was h e ld l ast even i nm, at the York Hotel, Mr. Churchwarden Wardell in the chair, at which it was stated that no other candidate had yet offered himself. The office, however, has for. merlv been very severely contested, and, as the safest course, it was agreed to make an immediate canvass of I the parish. THE EXECUTION ORDERED AT YORK. (From the Advertiser.) From a gentleman just arrived from York, we learn that the inhabitants are exerting themselves to prevent the execution ordered by Mr. Baron Alderson, and are circulating copies of the following petition to Lord John Russell. We hope his Lordship will accede to its prayer, and stop this worse than useless bloodshed : "TO THE RIGHT LION. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT. " The Memorial of the undersigned Inh a bit ants o f the City of York— " Humbly shewetli—That your memorialists learn, with the deepest pain, that a man named Thomas Mus grave now lies in York Castle under the sentence of death, and that, unless her Majesty be graciously pleased to extend to him her Royal clemency, he will be pub: licly executed on the ----# at York. " That your memorialists anxiously wish to impress upon your Lordship's attention the fact that the man has been convicted of a crime, not of murder, nor of th© nature of murder ; that Mr. Ewart's motion for the abolition of capital punishments, in all cases except those of murder, was only lost in the House of Commons by a majority of one ; and to express the conviction that if Musgrave be sentenced to die on the same scaffold as the murderer, the effect is likely to be, that in some future c ase mur d er may be added to violence in order to prevent the woman accusing the guilty party. That your memorialists knowing the excitc-ment e an u.. 1 , shocking and depr av i ng scenes c ommon at publie e e xc tions, humbly i m pl ore y o ur Lordship tospare th commutation of feel ings of the Citi zens of York by the Musgrave's sentence.
