William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The League may now boast of another contri butor to its funds in the person of the Marquis of Westminster, whose letter to Mr. Wilson appeared in our columns last Saturday. By itself, and in itself, this is an unimportant fact. The Noble Marquis's opinion is, perhaps, worth no more— except so far as it is accompanied by more substantial signs of conviction—than that of any other honest man. The Marquis of Westminster deems the present corn-laws to be very inju rious to the interests of the country, and he gives his 5001. to get rid of them. His opinion, therefore, individually and sin rately considered, is only more valuable than that of John Smith or Thomas Brown, because 5001. is a larger sum than 1001., and far larger than Si. Had the Marquis of Westmin ster been the only peer who professed himself a friend to the League, and evinced his friendship by the amount of his sub scription, it might reasonably have been said, " Lord 'Westmin ster is only one ; he may entertain any opinions he likes; but his sentiments are neither reasons nor criteria ; they prove nothing; nay, his disinterestedness is questionable; he is a great proprietor of land; but he is still greater as a proprietor of houses ; and it is notoriously calculated upon by many as certain that the repeal of the corn-laws will raise the rent of houses." This might have been said; but now it can not. The Marquis of Westminster has only done what Lords Spencer, Ducie, Fitz william ' and Radnor, have done before him. He h as b roug ht th e League into close connexion with every rank of the Peerage but the very highest. The adherence of five or six Peers of the most extensive possessions in the kingdom proves not only their hearty opposition to the sliding-scale, but also their confidence in the integrity, and their fearlessness of the projects, of those who are now con ducting the free trade movement. Or, if it be contended that it does not prove an implicit confidence in the moderation of their new associates, it at any rate demonstrates their convic tion that it is their interest to mitigate by coaliticn, and temper by conciliation, the feelings of a party which is too numerous to be overcome by opposition, too confident to be intimidated by menace. If they have taken this view of their position, we consider that they have thought right, and acted wisely. It is easy to dilute the strength against which it would be dangerous to contend. At the same time we would guard these Noble Lords and their adherents against the ready credulity which believes, or affects to believe, that the repeal of the corn-laws will "tiro a zeneral and perpetual impetus to trade and manu factures ; that it will increase foe ca t iltai of Siso and the occupation of the industrious ; that it will in undate the kingdom with a stream of affluence, spreading over the country in a thousand subsidiary channels, im parting to agriculture the bristling energy of the loom, and to manufactures the healthy vitality of agriculture. This will not be so. The present corn-law is the consumptive remnant of a silly and noxious enactment. Its evils are in themselves not few, but when compared with those of its predecessors, neither numerous nor oppressive. Still the substitution of a fixed duty would free commerce of its shackles, and is therefore a desirable measure. The utter annihilation of all duties would do very little more, and would deprive the Treasury of a certain income, and is therefore not desirable. When Lord Westminster expects " that such would be the prosperity of a// classes from the abolition of this impost, that in a very short time the general wealth would be so far aug mented, that the national revenue would outrun the amount of any duty that has been proposed," we fear that his Lordship has grievously mistaken and grossly overstated the advantages of any change in our commercial polity. We suspect that Lord Westminster must have doubted the efficacy of his panacea the moment after he penned the last quoted sentence ; for he concludes his letter by expressing a hope that the League will persevere in its endeavours " until it has obtained from Go vernment the fullest measure of free trade compatible with the maintenance of public credit." Yes, my Lord, public credit must be maintained. If it be not, no ono class of the com munity can retain either comfort, or wealth, or safety. Im press this on the minds of your followers. Tell them that bread may be nominally cheap, and yet millions starve ; that public faith once violated, private honour and individual credit perish immediately ; that a reduction of taxes on one article will only stimulate demands for reduction on others ; until by feeble concessions to reiterated clamours, the national revenue is exhausted, the capital of the speculator depreciated, and the mechanic defrauded of his just wages ; and in the end, amid the competition of poor men for money, and of moneyed men for investment, quackery panders to the appetite of knavery by the suggestion of remedies which folly only could adopt, for the cure of evils which timely wisdom might have prevented.

HERALD.—The commentators on the quarterly account of the revenue have taken too little notice of one part of the case,—namely, the estimated loss distinctly declared by Sir Robert Peel to be inevitable, on the various reductions made by him in the new tariff and other departments, in his budget of March, 1842. These he thus stated :—" The reduction in the 750 articles named in the tariff will entail a loss of 270,Q00/. Just published, price One Shilling, CURRENCY EXPLAINED, in REFUTA TION of the LAST FALLACY of the " TIMES." Ry VF.RUS. Samuel Clarke, 13, Pall-mall East ; and Cowie, Jolland, and Co., 31, Poultry. The loss consequent on the reduction of the duty on coffee will be 170,000/. ; the loss on timber will be 600,0001. ; the loss arising from the repeal of the export duties on articles of Bri tish manufacture will be 100,000/. ; the loss on the duties on stage-coaches will be 70,0001.: total, 1,210,0001." And, after making all these reductions, Sir Robert concluded by only reckoning, even with the income-tax, on a surplus of 520,0001., whereas, in last Friday's Gazette, we are happy to perceive one of those brief but wholesome little notices so long lost sight of under the management of Whig financiers—to wit, " The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, has • ing certified to the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt, that the actual surplus revenue of the United Kingdom, for the year ending the 10th of Octo ber, 1843, amounted to the sum of 908,541/. 9s. 9d., the Commissioners da hereby give notice," and so on, of the purchase of stock, in the ensuing quarter, to the amount of 227,135/., being one-fourth of the same. We have, then, now fairly got back into the old Tory times" of a surplus revenue really applied to the redemption of debt. True, the surplus is not yet very large, but it is larger than Sir Robert Peel's calculation ; snick is one of the felici ties of a surplus revenue, whether in public or private hands, that it has a great tendency to grow. Another circumstance in the case which seems worthy of remark is this—it was prognosticated, and with some show of reason, that a consider able proportion of the payers of the income-tax would strive to save that tax by reductions in their general expenditure, and that thus the real proceeds of the new tax would be set off and balanced by the losses on the old ones. But this seems not to have been the case, or at least the diminution thus caused has been more than counterbalanced by a tide of increase. In the last two years the total produce of the Customs and Excise has been as follows :- 1842 1843 • ' URINARY OBSTRUCTIONS.

There can be no doubt that the eyes of the people will now be directed towards the ter mination of the income-tax, which, in due course, should ar rive, we believe, in the course of 1845. The Government, on the other hand, will have a natural wish, if the public voice would but permit it, to maintain a tax so simple, so easily raised, and so very productive. Besides, as no annual surplus of five millions can at present be looked for, the question will be, if so large a tax be wholly remitted, what other impost can be devised for supplyi ng t h e d e fi c i ency w hi c h t h e l oss o f theincome-tax would create. Doubtless the most popular course that the Government could take would be the main tenance of the income-tax, but dropping " Schedule 1)," the levy on the profits of trades and professions. This, assuredly, would be a most popular s t e p. But we cannot say that it would be j ust. Sir Benjamin Brodie, or Sir W. Follett, would he exempted, because their large incomes arise from " profes sions;" while the poor widow, with her six children, living on a poor 150/. a year in th e f un d s , wou ld b e st ill su bj ect to- the tax. This could hardly be defended. Yet, on the whole, we repeat, the continuance of the tax on real property, and the remission of it on the profits of trade, would be a highly po pular measure. The Go vernmen t w ill p ro b a bl y reserve it s decision on this point until the opening of the session of 1845. But its words and movements will be carefully w at tlit toe what indications can b e ga th ere d o f it s di spos iti on an d inci pient intentions. ADVERTISER.—The Government has always at its corn" wand a mode of suppressing the League. It has only to liberate commerce from the sha c kl es w hi c h so i ng l or i ous l y enthral it, and the occupation of the League is for ever gone. It is not the League, but the causes which produced its ex istence, with which in reality th e G overnment h as to conten d . The League is but the outward expression of that, which, for all its extinctio n , wou ld st ill ex i st i nwardly, until the cause be removed. Th e L eague i s b ut the form—the body of a national necess i ty ; the spirit is th a t c f a w h o l e peop l e demand ing a sufficient and generous supply of food. Abolish the laws which- go to prohibit sufficient sustenance to the people, and the League o n th e i nstant b ecomes eztinct ; it falls through a self-inevitability. The folly of having at the League, is that of having against a people, who will not consent passively to be starved to death—of abusing a whole nati on , b ecause it will not continue to bend its head quietly to oligarchical and savage laws. And at this time of day, what excuse remains for not abolishing those injurious laws? The good of their destruction ; has it not been tried? The tariff, the infinitesi mal experiment of Sir Robert Peel, is a measure proving, in fact, the validity of the principles tending towards commer cial emancipation. If the revenue shows returns less em barrassed than formerly, it is owing to that tariff. If there has been more bought and sold in the country since the date of its enactment, it is as evidently owing to the same cause. If the prosperity of the country is on the rise, it is owing to no circumstance but one—the amend ment of our Customs Acts. But why does not Sir Robert Peel take warning from the fact, and enlarge the bounds of his reductions in the tariff? Treaties are useless. Even if they could be contracted, they are useless; but they cannot even be negotiated, so there is an end to them. England is the coun try which should set an example to ether countries, to buy and sell as its wants demand. The Times talks now of commerce that is free, but always with this reservation, that we leave it to ourselves to decide with whom we shall reciprocate commer cial licenses. To-morrow it will be different. 'I o.morrow, when opinion shall be a little more pushed forward, the limes will be among the first to own, that it is nonsense this etiquette of standing upon reciprocity. The Times has never the honour of expressing an opinion in advance. Its pride is to tally with the thoughts of the many of the moment. It never says an idea in anticipation. It is content if it establish popularity by giving expression to the sentiment of the interested herd. On the subject of she corn-laws, with all its boasted consistency, it must he evident to its readers, now going on the sliding-scale principle itself, it has approached the advocacy of greater free dom in proportion as the public call for the same kas become irre sistible. The Times only requires the Premier to come down with some substantial and large measure of commercial reform, to turn against, with its loudest denunciation, not only the sliding scale, but likewise fixed duty. 'I he Times has no honour, or thus it could not consent to become the pander to the mere brute opinions of ignorance. If it were as great as it is power ful, it would lend its instrumentality to enlighten the age, not to maintain men in their false notions. But the Prime Minister, seeing the working of his own most partial act of commercial reform, why does he, or, when the moment conies, can he hesitate to carry further the principle ? We repeat, it is by this way he will abolish the League, if he be opposed, as his Cabinet undoubtedly is, to that Association. If any man living knows, Sir Robert Peel does, that the League owes its existence to the state of public opinion. It is public opinion which sus tains the League, just the same as in turn the League goes to create public opinion. The question then that presents itself to be solved in the next session is, can a British Cabinet resist and oppose the united opinion of a whole nation' This is the straightforward question that comes to be considered. The League is nothing more than the expression of a universally entertained doctrine, desire, sentiment, and belief. Would - - 6.—Mr. Edward Oxroan, JAN. nounccd judgment in favour of 1)r.

The thing is to he seen In the next few weeks the point will be tried and determined, whether a League in favour of, and supported by the people, or a Government opposed to them, is to triumph ? POST.—The speeches delivered at the Colchester meeting by Essex farmers are deserving of deep attention. These speeches are characterised not only by great ability—they are pervaded, moreover, by a truly patriotic spirit—by that feeling of attachment to country which is so little in accordance with the " philosophy "of modern times. The movement in fa vour of the policy of protection, which Essex has had the ho nour of originating, is net merely of great value in itself—it will, moreover, generate and diffuse very extensively sounder and juster views than now prevail as to the nature of our social difficulties and dangers. I'he farmers of Essex feel that they are exposed to imminent danger. They know that in the suc cess of the League is involved the utter ruin of English agri culture. They know that the course of our industrial legis lationhas, for years past, been in a wrong direction ; but, able as their speeches at Colchester wore—searching as were their expositions of the wrongs inflicted on English producers—the far mers of Essex did not advert to the most alarming peculiarity in their position. Why have the farmers of Essex found it ne cessary to hold public meetings in order to vindicate their claim to legislative protection? Because, it may be answered, the League is in the field—and because Ministers are assertors of League principles. This is, undoubtedly, in a certain sense, the cause of these Essex demonstrations. Mill, why should farmers appear in the hitherto untried character of agitators ? Have they no public champions — no political re presentatives? Yes; in the House of Commons the farmers of Great Britain possess, nominally, a majority of not less than one hundred ! Yet, despite this overwhelming majority (would it were other than a nominal one 1), the farmers of Essex and of other counties are compelled to come forward, and in their own persons to vindicate their just rights. The farmers of Essex are deserving of all honour for their conduct ; but in exact proportion to the merit of the Essex farmers, must be admitted to be the demerit of all the hollow " far mers' friends" with whom the House of Commons abounds. These Essex meetings are meetings rendered necessary by the progress of the League; but they constitute, at the same time, virtually votes of censure on those trimmers and traitors by whom the present efforts of the honest yeomanry of England to protect themselves have been rendered necessary. Had County Members done their the ty..etings -which have already taken place at Chelms ford and at Colchester—the meetings which are about to take place in other mai ket towns—would have been unnecessary. It behoves the great body of British agriculturists to look sternly at all the forms of danger by which they are sur rounded. They have much to fear from the desperate selfish ness and energy of the League. They have much to fear from the affection which Ministers profess far "the principles of common sense." But British agriculturists have more to fear from the cowardice and imbecility of their " friends" in the House of Commons, than from any other cause. Let agriculturists out of doors, however, be true to themselves—and they will triumph over false friends, as well as over all classes of Leaguers. In Northamptonshire, a large body of most re spectable farmers have published an address in which they justify their secession from an agricultural society, of which the Leaguer, Lord Spencer, is President. The movement is a manly and most wise one. Let the principle which animates these honest Northamptonshire farmers be acted on universally —and the cause of native industry will soon be triumphant. It is incumbent en farmers, if they would save themselves from ruin, to refuse to act in concert with men like Earl Spencer ; but if it be incumbent on farmers to repudiate such Presidents of agricultural societies, how much more incumbent is it on farmers to repudiate such Par liamentary representatives as those mho have lent themselves to the free trade policy of the last two sessions of Parliament ? These are not times for the exhibition of false delicacy. The supporters of the Tariff and the Canada Corn Bill have approved themselves the English farmers enemies, and should be rejected by all agriculturists, as Lord Spencer has been rejected by the farmers of Northamptonshire. The farmers of Essex are rapidly collecting funds with the view of doing battle with the League. May good fortune attend their efforts ! Bnt the League, if it is to be effectually grappled with, must be grappled with in the House of Commons as well as out of doors ; and in the House of Commons there is to be found no agricultural representative competent to defend the rights of native industry against the assaults of Cobden ani his fellow-conspirators. Until men qualified to " do battle" with the League are placed in Parliament, all the efforts of agri culturists out of doors will avail little. Let the worthy yeo men of Essex, and Northamptonshire, and Lincolnshire ponder this " great fact ;" and let them resolve, as soon as possible to turn it to fitting uses I Meanwhile, let farmers persevere in their new course of agitation; they will soon find their in terests more strongly fortified than they have been for the last two years ! NAVAL IN TETLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 6.—The Lords of the Admiralty are effecting a very great improvement in the steam navy, by giving, as often as opportunities occur, additional propelling power to such steamers as may require it, which form a con siderable majority in the service. Hitherto the space occupied by the engine-room has been too extensive to admit of engines beyond a certain power being supplied to vessels, which power has been found to be inadequate to the size and tonnage of the respective ships. The recent improvement in the engines, and the introduction of the tubular boilers, have given so much ad ditional space, that vessels can now be fitted with engines of nearly double the horse-power they have hitherto carried, which will occupy even less space than the original smaller en gines. The Firefly, which is about to be commissioned for the surveying service by Captain Beechy, has had her engines taken out, and been :supplied with :others of greater power. They were the engines of the Phoenix, of 220 horse-power, which vessel is to be supplied with others of upwards of 300 horse-power. The Bonetta, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander E. E. Gray, has arrived at Chatham, where she is to be paid off. Previous to her leaving the coast of Africa, the Rapid, 10, Lieut.-Com mander E. C. Earle, had captured a Brazilian brigantine, named the Janerario, with 290 slaves on board, which arrived at Sierra Leone on the 27th of November. Two other slave vessels arrived at Sierra Leone on the same day, a Brazilian brigantine of 199 tons, called the Independencia, and a schooner. These vessels were captured by the Madagascar, 44, Captain J. Foote. The Spy, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander S. Ot way Wooldridge, had also captured a Brazilian slaver, the Furia brig, with 530 slaves on board. She arrived at Sierra Leone on the 28th of November. The Larne, 18, Commander J. W. Brisbane, is expected here next week from Sheerness. She is fully equipped for sea and has her full complement of men on board. The Styx, 6, Captain A. J. E. Vidal, has arrived at Sheer- ness from the Azores, where she has been employed surveying. She put into Plymouth before proceeding eastward. The Sealark, 10, Commander J. L. (,00ch, has sailed for the coast of Africa, with Commander W. H. Hill, the Go vernor at Cape Coast, and not of the Gambia, as has been erroneously stated. The Governor of the Gambia is Com mander Edmund Norcott, who will sail for Bathurst in a few days. The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, which sailed from here on Monday last, had to beat down Channel against a very heavy gale. She proved herself to be a very capital sea-boat, and succeeded in reaching Plymouth on Wednesday. The report of the Cornwallis, 72, Captain P. Richards, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, being on the eve of returning home to England is incorrect. The Firebrand steam-frigate, at this port, and the Conts, 18, at Chatham, are the two vessels that will next be put in commission. There has been a considerable mortality on board the W: berforce iron steamer, on the Coast of Africa. The Com mander, Lieutenant Moore, and several of her seamen have come home in the I3onetta invalided. Mr. W. D. Rowe, clerk in charge, is stated to be among the number of those who have died. The Vestal, 26, Captain Charles Talbot, is to leave Sheer. ness to-day for Devonport, where she is to embark the Right Honourable R. Pakenham and suite, and convey them to New York. The Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dickson, has been taken into dock at Devonport, and overhauled. It is found that she has not received much damage in getting on shore at Bereharen, on the coast of Ireland. _ _ _ The Satellite, 18, Commander R. H. B. Rowley, will be quite ready for sea by next Saturday. The Daring, building by Mr... White ; the Osprey by Mr. Blake, both at this dockyard ; the Mutine, by Mr. Fincham, and the Espiegle, by the students of the Naval College of Architecture, building at Chatham ; and the Kingfisher and Flying Fish, building at Pembroke Dockyard by the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir William Symonds, are all to be launched and fully rigged by June, when they will form an experimental squadron, for the purpose of test►ng their relative capabilities. They are each being built upon the lines of their respective constructors, but the plan recently introduced in ship-building of giving breadth of beam, has been followed by them all. The trial cruise will be of considerable interest. AFVOINTMENTS.—Captain Edward P. Halstead to study at the Naval College. Commander H. G. Morris to command the Wolverine. Lieutenants—W. T.

We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers is this neighbourhood. " DEAR SIR,—I have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, se that I could scarcely eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able to lie down for nine months ; having had the advice of several medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I began to think nothing would cure mo ; I was fast wasting away with a violent pain in my head; at last my friend got mo a box from your shop, and advised. me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken •ne box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am now happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. '• Witness—John Thorpe." " Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eves for twelve years, and has tried everything he could hear of without the least oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his oyes are quite well, and have been for some time. " Mrs. SMITH has bog■ troubled with a pain in her bead for many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since the has taken three boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box t• persons troubled with a sick head-ache ; I shall always have a supply by me. • These cases I have selected from a number of others, and C.lll rely upon them as being correct.

WOODWARD, Chemist, "To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLEM es,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD PARR'S PILLS, induces me, out of gratitude to the Proprietors, and a wish to be of use to the whole world, to add another testi. mouial to the numbers you have already received. For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in my head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had the advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I bad dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return. I have recommended them, and shall do so, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have received.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged and grateiul servant, " PIENRY NASH.

The great accession that I have received to my supporters, and the kind assurances of powerful aid from numerous parties released from their engagements by the election of the Bth June, 1642, inspire me with the fullest confidence in the suc cessful result of the approaching contest., and I earnestly and respectfully solicit the favour of the votes and influence of those Proigrietors who have not already declared their intentions. When the day of election is announced by the Honourable Court, I shall do myself the pleasure of forwarding the usual power of attorney to such of my kind supporters as shall prefer voting by proxy, and in the meantime request the favour of communications as early as possible, intimating their wishes in that particular, and informing me of any change of residence, either permanent or temporary, in order to facilitate the trans mission of letters.
