A T a MEETING held at LONDON HOUSE, —CI.. on Saturday, December 2, 1843, it was resolved to form an ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of DESTITUTION, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION of the POOR is the METROPOLIS, by MEANS of PA ROCHIAL and DISTRICT VISITING : and after several intermediate meetings, it was resolved, on Saturday, De cember 16, to adopt and circulate the following Address and Regulations : The object which this Association has in viewi s, not merely to administer immediate relief in cases of extreme destitution, or of pressing want, but to improve the social, moral, and re ligious condition of the poor, by means which have been tried, on a limited scale, in certain districts, and which have been uccessful in proportion to the completeness of the system which has been put into operation, and the care with which it has been worked. It is obvious that to dispense pecuniary re lief indiscriminately, and with reference solely to the apparent or actual necessity of the case, without inquiry as to the past, or provision for thL, future, is, to say the least of it, but a half measure of charity, and has a tendency to generate or increase the very evi!s which it seeks to cure. An inquiry into the causes of distress, and into the best means of preventing its recur-ence, by infusing into those who labour under it sound principles of action, and forming them to habits of economy, industry, and foresight, is obviously necessary, to ensure to the exertions of benevolence their proper results. Mere liberality in almsgiving, unaccompanied by an endeavour to remove the causes of that destitution which calls it forth, will not answer the requirements of Christian charity. This view of th , subject plainly implies-the necessity 'coin - - bining religiaus and moral instruction with the relief of bodily and of making the latter, as it were, a preparative for the former. And, therefore, although the primary design of the Associatiorris, to furnish the means of administering to the extreme necessity of the poor, after due inquiry into the circumstances of each particular case, its ultimate object is, to aid in removing the moral causes which create or aggravate want; to encourage prudence, industry, and cleanliness, as parts of Christian duty, and to promote kindly feelings be tween those classes of society which are kept so far wander by the diffeience of their worldly conditions. And this may be effected, it is hoped, by a judicious distribution of the funds entrusted to this Association, through which individual bounty may be applied to the relief of distress without fear of misdi rection or waste. A few only of those charitable persons, who e at all times ready to give of their worldly substance to the sick and needy, have either leisure to make personal inquiry into each case which presents itself, or these habits of investi gation which are required for the detection of imposture. Dis trict Visiting Societies, when conducted on right principles, open a safe and ready channel for the distribution of pri vate alms. The description now given of the objects contemplated by this Association clearly marks out the propriety, or rather the necessity, of attempting their attainment through the agency of the parochial clergy. They are, in virtue of their ooffice, almoners, as well as instructors, of the people ; nor can it be doubted, that the evils under which the poorest classes labour in our crowded chits and towns, have been greatly aggravated by the inadequacy of our parochial system, with its existing machinery, to meet the wants cif an overwhelming pope lat ion. Two things are necessary, in order to replace the social system in a healthy state ; a more direct and friendly intercourse between the different classes of society, and the general incul cation of Christian principles. In both cases the agency of the Clergy is indispensable, and will be, under the Divine blessing, effectual to these ends, if means are supplied for carrying on the work, which is now so immeasurably beyond their strength and resources. An Association, which aims at the attainment of this object, may surely assert its claim upon the charity of those whom Providence has entrusted with the means of doing good, and who are bound to use them for the glory of God, in promoting the temporal and eternal welfare of their felluw creatures. ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of DESTITUTION in the METROPOLIS, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION of the POOR, by MEANS of PAROCHIAL and DISTRICT VISITING. I. The object of this Association shall be to relieve Desti tution, and to improve the condition of the Poor in the Metro. polis, by means of Parochial and District Visiting, under the superintendence and direction of the Bishop and Clergy. 2. The Association shall consist of the general body of con tributors to the Fund, the Bishop of London being President. 3. The business of the Association shall be conducted by a Committee of Members belonging to the Church of England ; one-third to go out annually, but to be re-eligible ; the vacan cies to be filled up by election at the Annual Meeting. 4. The Committee shall have power to defray,from the funds of the Association, such expanses as they shall deem essential for the efficient management of its concerns ; but no part of its funds shall be applied to the payment of District Agents or Visitors. 'I he attendance of five member: of the Committee shall be necessary for the transaction of business. 5. An Annual Meeting of the Association shall be held—the President in the chair—to receive the accounts of the preced ing year, to appoint auditors for the ensuing year, and to fill up the vacancies in this Committee. 1 he duties of the Committee shall be, to form and maintain a fund for the purposes hereinafter specified, by occasional ap peals to the public, to receive contributions, and to administer such fund under the fallowing regulations 1. To obtain from the parochialclergy, and to afford to them, information concerning District Visiting. For this purpose, to enter into immediate communication with the clergy of each metropolitan parish. 2. In such parish where a Visiting Society is in operation, to request information respecting its working and results, and the general condition of the poor. 3. Where a Visiting Society exists, but is confined in its operations by want of funds, to render assistance. 4. Where there is no Society, to submit a plan, with the offer of effective co-operation. 5. Where no provision for District Visiting exists, or seems likely to be made, the case to be submitted to the Bishop. The fund shall be administered to objects deserving of relief without distinction of religious persuasion. 1. Upon application from any incumbent, or from the curate of any non .reaident incumbent, a grant of mouey may be made, to be employed in the relief of the destitute poor by means of gratuitous district visiting. 2. Such incumbent, or curate, shall specify in his application the constitution of the District Visiting Society by which he proposes to dispense the money granted to him by the Commit tee, and the general objects to which it will be applied. 3. And shall render periodically to the Committee an ac count of the actual expenditure of the grant. 4. All grants shall be made for one year only, but shall be renewable upon similar application, at the discretion of the Committee. In distributing the funds of the Association, care shall lite taken not to interfere with the legal administration of' relief to the roor. It was resolved to advertise the foregoing Address and Regq lations in the leading London journals. A Committee was appointed, with power to add to its Tim ber.

THE HALF-PREMIUM plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, enables persons to retain to their own ase the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years at La. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the ordinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to Le 10/., the first payment by the half premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-half of the 104 , and interest for the retained half ; and if death should occur in the first year, the sum of OWL would be paid lees the 5/. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51. ; for the second of IC/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at Si. per cent. interest until death, when the 35!. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

HERBARY HIGHGATE SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS Fi1.)14 THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The organs of the ultra section of the TGries begins the year with a manifesto against Sir Robert Peel, and the Ministry of which he is the chief. Retrospection supplies matter fur reproach —" the future" is invested with gloom, across which frightful frtris are seen to flit, inspiring apprehension. of coming calamities. " Twelve months," says the Mt, " have now rolled by since, at the close of 1842, we gave sorrow ing and reluctant testimony on the nature mul conse • quences of the political course which, d , mouneed on the hustings by Conservative candidates, had been supported in Parliament by Conservative legislators." . . "We allowed ourselves to hope better things for the future." But " the future"—to which the excited fears of the Post looked forward with alternate anxiety and hope— brought no diminution, much less a removal, of the causes which inspired disappointment and " sorrow" in the organ of the deceived and betrayed Tories. " When the last session of Parliament had reached its ignomi nious close," the Post " took occasion to represent how the patient expecting .friends of the Government—tile patient and sufferin g people who elected it"—had Leon duped and injured by " the Ministry which they had placed in office." The Post, therefore—in the name of the nu merous and influential section of the Tory party—proceeds to justify the dissatisfaction with which that party con templates the policy of the Government. The incom petency of Sir Robert Peel for the post he fills is set f:irth in a variety of particulars, extending to every part of' the policy of his Administration. As a financier, his estimates arc shown to have been erroneous. The grand scheme of finance," by which the Minister ; • . and on which he consented to rest his claims to public confidence, has proved a failura —a source of disappointment to the country, and a proverb of reproach ,to the• charlatan who, with the confidence of a quack, propounded it as a reme dy f or t h e national maladies. The "Arms Bill"—which the Ministers pressed through Parliament with a pertinacity that indicated the im portance they attached to its provisions in d ea li ng with the popular excitement in Ireland—that chc/ d'oeuvre of the Cabinet, is branded by the Conservative Post as a " contemptible" measure ! The Premier's Church-extension scheme is designated " an ingeniously contrived illustration of the mountain-in-labour fable ;" while " great and important measures, as the Factory Bill and the Poor-law—measures grounded on the actual pressing necessities of the poor —were muti lated, withdrawn, postponed, got rid of in any way that temporary expediency might suggest." To the in difference evinced by the Government to the outbreaks in Wales, and the consequent ineffiCient' means em ployed to suppress the disturbances, and then to remove the dissatisfaction which had produced them—to this want of perception and promptitude is ascribed the in surrection which ensued :—" The Welsh' liebeccaite tumults, ostensibly originating in local grievances of a subordinate character, were [thus] easily inflamed to the aspect of a semi-political rebellion." The course pursued by the Government in dealing with discontents and core motions in Ireland, meets with the same unqualified con demnation. With reference to our Indian empire, the Post remarks—" The conquest of Sinde, and the revolution and murderous massacre by which the Sikh territory has been plunged into blood and anarchy, will not fail to produce changes in the face of our empire in the East." . . . . "It is :till undecided whether the Punjaub shall continue an independent ally, or be incorporated with our enormous Asiatic dominions." These changes, and the uncertainty in which they invest the future with respect to India, are rogarcled with ap prehension, if not with positive alarm. The in ternal condition of France and Spain is then alluded to in terms anything but calculated to inspire re spect for the foreign policy of the British Government. Had Lord Palmerston d'rected that department, the agents of France would have been detected, and their machinations would have been defeated. No such scenes—at once humiliating and disgraceful, would have been transacted. To the solemn imbecilities of Lord Aberdeen—no match for Phillippe and his Mi nisters in statemanship—the fearful condition of Spain is to be attributed. The Post pants for the-return of Ab selutism as a cure for tlufanarchy which now prevails. TVe desire the restoration of Constitutional Government, which was overthrown with Esaartero, and the consequent re moval of the foul traitors who, having acquired power by treachery and perjury, use the child they have placed on the throne as alternately a puppet and a tool ; and thus insult, degrade, and endanger the moaarchy they hypocritically affected to reverence and professed a desire to uphold. Louis Philippe, the ally of England, with whom the Government is not merely on 'terms of amity, but to whom the Sovereign of this country has recently paid a visit of friendship and interchanged cordial tokens of royal regard—this Prince is selected as the subject of the Poet's vituperation ; his person insulted—his right to the throne he fills impugned—and the speedy down fal of his dynasty predicted. And all this by a Con servative journal ! But the fortunes of foreign nations must not. divert our attention from troubles and ca lamities that afflict our own. Such is the exordium with which the Post introduces a description of the condition of the national interests at home, " now we are in the third year of the official and parliamentary supremacy of 'the most able body of statesmen whom the present generation has seen embodied in one Cabinet." What are our gains by their wisdom and ability ? " The English producer" is " going headlong to beggary ;" while the condition of the manufacturing population is not permanently im proved. We inight continue the top'cs of.retropective condemnation—of present dissatisfaction—and of antici• pated ruin to each of the great national interests that were to revive and flourish under the protection and guidance of the heaven-born Minister. To his abandon ment of the policy which he gave his supporters reason to conclude would be the system of his gOvernment, is referted all the past, present, and predicted mischief's which have, do, and will afflict the community. Through the space of four columns of mourning, lamentation, and woe, the Post describes and deplores the failure of the Peel Administration. The .topics thus dwelt upon by a Tory organ, we have, on many occasions, fully discussed. If we have not started from the same points, we have generally arrived at the same conclusions as our Con servative Contemporary. A growing dissatisfaction—the product of disappointment in some,and of a confirmed con viction in others, that a change of administration, as the only assurance of a change of policy, is essential to the tranquillity and prosperity of the empire—pervades all classes. Events are co-operating, with the growing dis satisfaction ; and indicate, most clearly, that the disrup tion of a Cabinet denounced by most and confided in by none, is not distant. STANDARD.—We are able to contradict, in the most distinct and positive terms the statement put for ward by the Globe and Morning Chronicle, that the Cabi net has resolved upon the recal of Earl de Grey from the Viceroyalty of Ireland. There is not one word of truth in the story, or even a shadow of foundation for it. The colleagues in office of the Noble Earl have every reason to be satisfied with, nay grateful for, the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland's conduct in his arduous office, and he is not the man to abandon his post in circdmstances like those in which Ireland is now placed. The fable which we contradict is merely one of the natural productions of the season. The least observant reader of newspapers knows that'such fabrications come as regularly at this time of year as the short days—we were going to say the snow, but • that has not this year kept time as regularly as the political fabulists. We repeat it, there is no more truth in the story than in the projected repeal of the corn-laws, which we had to contradict not many days since. Earl De Grey is Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, and will remain Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as long as - it shall please him ; and we trust it will please him to remain to the enjoyment of that pacific triumph, in laying the foundation of which he has had so large a share. TIMES.—The prospects of the new year, although not un clouded, are as fair as those disclosed by any of its immediate predecessors. We begin the year in peace with every State of Europe; we are at peace with Amettea ; and.we have every reason for hoping that the partial war in India will soon be brought to a happy termination. But the peace which we en joy is net a hollow, treacherous peace, merely awaiting some diplomatic pretext, some red-tape sophistry, or some oppor tune weakness, to be changed into open war. Our relations with all the Powers of Europe are those not only of tranquillity but of amity. Not only is there no apparent cause of war to alarm our Suspicions, but there is no desire of war manifested by the Sovereign or the citizens of any foreign State. The President of the United States joins with the King of the French in the expression of an eat nest wish to perpetuate the present harmony with Great Britain. The Ashburton treaty has adjusted one awkward subject of dispute ; and we will do the American people the justice to believe that they are not anxious to find another in the indefinite boundaries of the Oregon territory. France is no longer isolated; even the rabid fierceness of the violent journalists against the ambition, the falsehood, and the cunning of perfidious Al bion, has growled itself into silence. The people of the two countries reciprocate those kindly feelings which their Sove reigns have expressed to each other on their behalf. So much for our foreign affairs. At,home the prospect is less cheerful ; still it is far from disheartening. If, indeed, we look to those outward signs of prosperity which attract the superficial eye, and satisfy the unreflecting mind, there is much to inspire both hope and gratitude. A revenue now progressively increasing— trade reviving to a degree at this season of the year almost un exampled—commercial speculation assuming a bolder and fteer tone in the great m-rts of the north—all these are signs of returning wealth and eirmeating capital. To many they are signs of returning prosperity. May they prove so.! But let us not forget, that while merchants and traders are investing their money more freely and more hopefully—while the national Treasury is becoming richer—while cotton-spinners are designing new mills, and contracting for fresh labour, to meet the demands for expected markets—let us not forget that those whose toil is tasked to enlarge the power of wealth and multiply the enjoyments of luxury are themselves the victims of indigence and destitution. Let us not forget the revealed condition of the labourers in some of our agricultural counties ; let us not ferget the wretchedness of our London poor ; and let us notblind ourselves to the poverty and misery which has already been shown to exist In our manu facturing districts, and which will assuredly spring up in a frightful and fearful multiplicity, if, on every otca , ion of tempo rary prosperity, labour is crowded into new factories, only to be turned IttiFifp without employment as soon as the market is glutted. In considering onr dompstie position, Ireland cannot Ge everlooked. And yet what can we pay of a, country ti Imp evils are as undeniable as the'remedies for them are v triers and contradictory? To say that Ireland offers no diftiealtie.,, or even no dangers, were absurd. Still we do nut believe the dangers to be nearly so great as is imagined The Govern. ment acted most foolishly in delaying to suppress the Repeal meetings. Their tardiness gave the semblance cf earneatnes. to an apitation essentially hollow, false, and hvpoc+itieal. It drove the timid to join the cause from cowardice, anti the hypocr it ic .1 to persevere in it for 'the reputation of consistency. Had they interfered earlier they would have c,nferred,:a great boon on the Repeal gentry of Ireland, but a much greater en the loyal and quiet Protestants. Now that they have evneed a resolution to put down the agitation, baked as 11 cc are by the popu'ar feeling of the empire, and having only a simulated zeal for nationality to contend against, they must succeed But when they have succeeded—when sedition is crtisteed, and anti -Saxonism has perished—then come the labour and the difficulty of governing her in the spirit of justice, in deratiun, firmness, and kindness—of correcting her social ev.le and couraging her natural advantages. Yes : there is a great work for Parliament and the Ministry to do. To conei isle the affections of the Irish without conniving at faction, or plaa ing the fatal and Whiggish game of corruption —to give eirncst and diligent heed to the condition-of-England question—to resist. the strong effects of selfishness, whether in classes or parties, agriculturists or manufacturers, and to corevet the present unnatural distribution of the means of subsistence these are the duties and the labours which the new sear offers to those who have the courage and the heart to undertake them; and which, undertaken with good heart ansi honest purpose, will repay the country anti its representatives, if not with entire success, at least with the blessing which never yet was denied to good men working in a good cause. HERALD.—'The Morning Herald having lately changed its proprietors and managers, we deem it right, at the com mencement of the present year, to announce to our readers the principles upon which the paper will henceforth be. conducted. y will not essentially differ - Tfrom those whiellAniee been' espoused by the Herald for some time past, viz. the principles of moderate Conservatism in Church and State. Deeply at tached to the doctrines of the Anglican Church , as contained in her Article i and her Liturgy, and as expounded by the great body of her Divines from the time of Hooker to the . presesit day, we are unfavourable to those extreme High Church views, which seem to approximate too nearly to the errors and super stitions of Romanism. Though we respect the private cha racter, and the motives, of many who are eminent among the Traetarian party, we think that their zeal has outrun. their discretion. We are anxious that the benefits of educa tion should be extended as widely as possible; but. we think there can be no beneficial education of which religion is not. the b as i s . If na ti onal schools are to be established, as we ardently hope they w ill b', upon airy com prehensive plan, they ought to be conduct, d upon the princi ples of the Established Church, and under the guidance of her ministers. To uphold the laws which secure private.property is a duty not more imperative, and not more arduous, than wisely to administer those which protect the rigLts -and inte rests of the poor. The statute of Elizabeth estah'ished a sys tem of poor la ws, under which England has reared up a more - industrious and efficient population of labourers, and risen to a higher degree of prosperity, than any country in the, ,world. That abuses had crept into the administration of these laws, which rendered some amendment desirable, we do not' deny. At the same time, when a system is introduced, whiCh, in stead of recognising the light of the unhappy pauper to relief, treats him as an intruder upon society, if not as a criminal, we are disposed to look with doubt upon its wisdom, and to watch iie administration with the utmost jealousy. The adjustment of the corn-laws upon the modified sliding-scale of Sir R. Peel, is an experiment, to which we think that a fair trial should be given. We deprecate frequent and hasty changes in financial matters; but most strongly do we condemn that restless agitation which tends to disturb the public mind, create panic in the commercial world, and destroy • all confidence in the security of the law. While we desire to afford an adequate protection to the agriculturist, we are rot unmindful of that large and important manufacturing class, for whose real good so little has been done by those who geow rich by their labours, while they make the loudest outcries about their distress. The laws which cone rn the relation between workmen and their employers, the wages, time of la bour, health, morals, and general condition of our mechanics, are subjects to which we shall from time to time 'Tait the public attention. At this moment, the state of Ireland ; resents the greatest difficulties to the British statesman. Our opinion is, that the people of that country. disorganised and demorali s ed, partly by a long c ant'nuat.ce of poverty and ignorance, but in great measure also by the agency of rsckless ant designing demagogues, require to be ruled with a firm and, Vigoroita hand. That the union with Great Britain must be maintained at all hazards, we, in common with most Englishint n, firmly believe. But we also think, that for this, as well as for other purposes, it is indispensable to uphold the Irish Protestant Church With the progress of the reformed rel gin is as-o- Mated, not only all the glory and ha; pines, of our own kingdom, but everything which is great in the his- 1 tory of man ; and that it will ultimately work its way, for glory and for good, in Ireland, we entertain no doubt. That, however, which Ireland more immediately re quires, is the introduction of salutary economical measures, a soundsystem of education, and astrong and discreet administration of the lave. On the subject of law reform, we think that a good sys tem of local courts, such as may give anty and speedy justice to the huinble suitor, is most desirable. We are averse to any crude and h.tsty legislation on such matters; but are anxious that some 'uniform plan, in accordance with the established principles of our law, but extending its practical benefits, may be introduced. With regard to our foreign relations, we need hardly say, that the maintenance of peace, consistently with the national honour, ought to be the primary object of our rulers. For this purpose, we think that all interference with the in ternal affairs of foreign nations, unless forced upon us by themselves, ought to be especially . avoided. To preserve, but not to extend, the.. boundaries of our empire; to give due protection to our colonies; to enforce, as far as lies in our power, :the existing liera for the suppression of the slave trade ; to propagate the Christian re ligion in the East, and other parts of the world *here our power and influence . extend ; to enlarge our commerce by friendly negotiation, but at the same time to keep in view that reciprocity of advantages without which no commercial treaty can be long maintained—these are the general features of that policy which we approve. Such are our views upon those topics which appear to occupy most of the public attention at the present time. They are, we are convinced, the opinions which are entertained by the great mass of the intelligent and reflecting people of this country. Confiding in the h, nest in tentions of the present Government—knowing the difficulties in which they are placed—and believing they are disposed, in the main, to carry out the line of policy advocated by us, it is our intention, as far as lies in stir power, to give them a steady but independent support. IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, DEC. 29.--Although more than a fortnight has yet to elapse before the commencement of term, the note of active preparation for the forthcoming State trials has been already sounded, and the public interest in the result, which had begun to flag during the vaca tion, increases in proportion as the all important 15th of .January draws near. Yesterday notices were s'rved on the traversers to the effect that, in pursuance of the mo tion of Mr. Smyly, of counsel fur the Crown, the - speoial jury will be nominated at 12 o'clock on Wednesday next, when the High Sheriff of the city and the Uadvr-Sheriff are to attend, and to bring with them the jurors' bo,k and the special jurors' list, signed by the Sheriff sr his deputy, and all the numbers written, according to the Act ofParliament,on distinct pieces of parchment or card. At the sitting of the Recorder's Court this day, Mr. Close applied to his Lordship to order that the clerks of the peace should furnish Mr. Pterce Maliony, as agent for the traversers, with a copy of the special jurors' list as returned by his Lordship to the High Sheriff. The RECORDER stated that the officers of the Court had applied to him for advice on the subject that morn ing, and having carefully read the Act of Parliament, he was unable to find any clause authorising him to comply with the application mado ; but as a matter of conveni ence for those concerned on both sides in the-approach ing trials, which were matter of notoriety, he would advise them, if the Crown Solicitor and Mr. Mahony concurred together in an application, that each party should be contemporaneously furnished with a copy. At a subsequent period of the afternoon an ',,ppliea tion was made at the Sheriff's-office fir a copy. of the list,: the Recorder having stated that the only copy fur nished by him was that given to the High Sheriff. The Sub-Sheriff, however, was unable to give any information upon the subject beyond referring the applicants to the High Sheriff,whose answer has not yet been made public. BUDE LIGHT AT THE BROOMIELAW.—According to the resolution of the river trustees, the steam-boat wharf at the Glasgow-bridge, which certainly stood very much in need of such an improvement, was last night lighted up, for the first time, with the Bude light. The light, which is calculated as equal to upwards of forty ordinary burners, stands upon a pi!lar about twenty five feet in heighe, and sheds a brilliant illumination upon surrounding objects. It has all the appearance of a lighthouse towering above the bridge, sheds,- and other elevations near it, and will be seen at a great distance. Indeed, with such a- blaze, accidents to vessels arriving or departing at a late hour from that part of the harbour. even on the darkest nights, must be exceedingly rare. The site is well chosen, and the light will, doubtless, prove an immense advantage to the bustling portion of the harbour where it is situate. Notwithstanding this most useful addition to the steam-boat wharf; there is still another to be made (the want of which is much 'com plained of by the public), and which could Le supplied at a very small expense to the trustees; we allude to the erection of a small clock in front of one of the sheds at the lower end of the quay, whereby persons waiting for steamers or hurrying to them, can gain at once infortna tion concerning a matter sometimes ditfieult 'enough to be ascertained, viz., the exact hour of sailing,'&e. The advantages to be derived by this addition are so apparent that we do not need to enlarge upon them. We hope the hint will meet with due attention in the propc'r quarter.—Glusgew Chronicle. SHOCKING CASE.—On Friday last an extraorainary accident occurred at Brombam Bridge. whereby a farmer residing at Stagsden, of the name of Leaberry, - came to his death. It appears that he had been to Bedford, drinking freely, and at half-past six left the Bell inn, and mounted ills mare to return home. Thy' ware waa blind, and it is supposed that the deceased was too fresh to guide her, the consequence was that she stumbled over the parapet wall (which is very low) and fell into the river. On Saturday morning a man num (4 Harrison was going to his work, and saw the mare in the meadows below with a bridle and saddle on. By the river he saw a hat, And this excited some suspicions, and upon looking into the river he saw a man lying a t the bottom ; Il e procured assistance, and recovered tilt) whieit ht then found to be that of lir. John Leaberry.— eaaritige Chronicle. . , The Whig journals, partly, no doubt, with a view to create alarm in the Conscrvat:vs ranks, and partly in order to prepay; for a burst of affecte I disappointment and indignation—have been lat” , for some time past in assaring us, that the text ses sion of Parliament must either cotnplete, or at least commence, the repeal of the corn-laws; a repeal, in all probability, pro posed by Sir Rol ert Peel himself! "No man," said the Chronicle of Dseember 2, "can expect the present corn-law, or anything like it, to last two years. Perhaps the outlines of i s successor are ah eadil on paper ' and are of such a character as to account for Sir Edward K natchbull's absence from the councils of the Cabinet." Such prognosties as these have bis.en constantly matte use of in the %%'hig journals during the last three mantas; and they answer, as we have already said, the doable purpose of alas niog a few timid Conservatives; anti of forming an apparent ground f,r vast rinlignation—when it shall appear. at last, that the Ministry has not tt c slightest in ttntion of the kind; and when thus it will be said, the uni versal expectation" shall have been" lamentably (his ippointed " T:10 plain fact, however, is, that but for thee politic prog nostics of the Whig newspapers, and the clamours of th e Leavw, net a single creature in her Majesty's dominions would dream of such a thing as a further tampering with :he corn-law:. Why should they? Sir Robert Peel is known to be a cautious statesman : this measure, one of the chief acts of the present Adroini-ttation, was carefully considered, and passed with great deliberation ; and it has entirely answered all the purpose of its frame's. On what rational ground, then, should arty tie expect its sudden and causeless repeal, after an exis'ence of less than two years? We s,Ty that the measure has entirely succeeded. Indeed, we may challenge any politician to adduce a case, in modern times at least,. in which the objects professed by the proposer s of a measure have been so fully realised by the event. 'the Reform Bill, we all know, disappointed all parties ; so did the Municipal Corporations Bill ;so ditl the New Poor-law ;so did the Penny Postage, which was to have augmented the Pest-office revenue in theory, but which has nearly annihi lated it in fact. Nearly every nostrum of the Whig Adminis tration turned out altogether another thing from what its pro pounders intended. But the corn-law of 1842, we broadly and unhesitatingly assert, has in no respect fallen short of its proposer's views and intentions. It has done all that it was intended to do ; and the enmity shown towards it by the Whigs andlite League arises merely from its not doing what no one ever supposed that it would do. No one ever supposed, for instance, that it would stop the clamours of the Leaguers. Those honourable and very worthy pe-sons, like their great master and exemplar in Ireland, thrive by. agitation. and bare not the least wish or intention to give it or , so long as a grievance can be imagined or invented. It is - the corn-law agitation that makes Mr. Cobden Member for 'Stockport, and Mr. Bright Member for Durham ; and both these respectable gentlemen have told us, that they will never - mare their agitation so long as there is an iota of duty on corn ; in other words, that they will retain their present tt proud position" as long as they can find adherents to follow them, All this Sir Robert Peel knew long enough ago ; and his Corn Hill was not intended to attempt what he knew to be impossible; i. e , to persuade a vain and conceited demagogue to retire into t ticurity, so long as he had the means of keeping himself at the head of a popular agitation. Nor, in the next place, was the Corn Bill of 1842 designed to satisfy the clients of the Times—by establishing an eaten she and a steady continental trade in corn. That large and regular imports of corn are needed, is disproved by the expe rience of the last ten years. That to import corn largely when it is not. needed, must be injurious to the main branch of our national industry, is self-evident. Hence the law of 1842 did not propose to encourage a large and steady import ; and it has not encouraged it. What, then, was the object of the change effected in IS4'? It was, to correct the previously existing system, by apply. ing the results of the experience of a dozen years. It was, by a more carefully graduated scale, to obtain greater steadiness of price ; and also a rather lower price in times of scarcity. Precisely what Sir Robert Peel described as his object, in tiffs speech introducing the measure, has been attained, and at. tai'n'd in the simplest and eas'.est manner, and at no cost of pi inetple, or even of pecuniary advantage. W e will quote a single pa-sage from Sir Robert Peel's speech of Feb. 9,1842, and then compare it with the event : —" It is utterly beyond your power, and a mere delusion to say that by any duty, fixed or otherwise, you can guarantee a certain price to the producer. It is beyond the reach of the Legislature." . . . . " But I should say, that for the pro - ce•ion of the agricultural interest, if the price of wheat in this country, allowing for its natural oscillations, could be limited to some such amount as between 545. and 585., Ido not believe it is for the interest of the agriculturist that it should be higher." Such was the Premier's explicit declaration of his object. Now what has been the result? Here are the averages of the year IS43: s. d. January 28 .... 49 3 February 25 March 25 April 29 . • ' 47 0 May 27 June 24 July 22 August 26 September 23 . . .. 49 3 October 23 ' November 25 . De •ember 23... ....... . These prices have followed two favourable harvests. They therefore natural!) , fall rather below the figures stated by the Premier as his nzaximunt, A deficient harvest or two would probably raise prices fully up to that mark. But two circum stances here call for observation—lit, The great steadiness of price which has followed the adoption of the new system and 2d, That the price suggested by Sir Robert Peel has not, in these favourable seasons, been fuly realised; though pro bably the average of three years will prove the accuracy of his calculations. And this makes the idea of lot ther change sill more prepos terous. The Glamourous party is that which demands low prices . well, it turns out that Sir Hobert Peel's measure gives them, after all, at least up to this time, rather lower prices than he himself intended. Ile has already been better that, his word ; and if any rectification can be needed, it must 'rather be in behalf of the other party. There is, then, not.the shadow of a hope, on any reasonable grounds, that the Government, after cautiously and delibe rately adjusting this great question in 1842, will re-open it in 1Y44. In Fact, the mere de►ire or disposition to do so, on their part, would necessarily ,o shake public confidence, that the very Coi.sois themselves would waver and oscillate at the prospect. There is no such inroad upon the public credit, however, in prospect for the chroniclers of 1844. This single question disposed of, what have the malcontents to look forward to? In wEat part of the kingdom, in what quarter of the globe, can a grievance be raked up? Truly, for Whig expectants, the prospect is lamentable. The League is indeed their " forlorn hope." Peace in all parts of the earth— a restoration of our finances—a still advancing revival of trade and manufactures, would seem to promise a session of more than ordinary quietness. But these are stirring times. Much, we are aware, will be demanded of the Government, and we believe and expect that much will be endeavoured by them. Party strife may sometimes defeat their best purposes, as in the cage of the Factory Education Bill of last year ; but they must labour on in spite of disappointments; and we anticipate that the coming session will not be a barren one, of carefully prepared and well-digested measures of Conservative reform.—Herald. STATE of the REPRESENTATION. (From the " Complete Suffrage Almanack," 1844.) It appears that there were upwards of one million electors on the register in the year 1840. It must, however, be recollected that a large proportion of the electoral constituencies, about one quarter, never exercise the franchise, so that the real effective electors of the United Kingdom could not then be estimated at more than 800,000. There is much doubt whether the number of electors has been much increased since that period, when we take into consi deration the severe distress that has, for the last few years, visited all classes, except the higher, and the wholesale disfranchisement that has been going on in Ireland. If, therefore, we take the total number of electors on the register in 1840, as representing the whole of the electors who would now exercise the franchise, it will, probably, he rather over than under the mark. It will hence appear that one person out of about every seven male adults is represented in the House of Corn:nons—that is to say, that out of the 6,736,07 male adult population of this country, 5,724,411 are taxed by the State without having a voice in the inching . of its laws! . By analysing the list of constituencies, we arrive at still more startling results. Thus, in England. Wales, and Scotland, which return 592 members, sixty-seven of the constituencies number less than 500 persons ; 145 less than 1,000 ; and 209 less than 2,000. Accordingly, nearly one .1121 f the representatives of cities and boroughs of England, Wales, and Scotland are returned by about 100,000 constituents. Nor is this all. We find that, in the United KingdoM, 232, Members represent about 220,000; and thus it may fairly he calculated that, out of the 658 Members of the House of Commons, 330 of them—or a clear majority—are returned by less than 300,000 persons. The destinies of this country, therefore, are actually confided to the hands of about one-third of the elec toral body. In other wards, one twenty-third part of the male adult. population of this kingdom elect an absolute majority of that House, which not only ex ercises an omnipotent control over the liberties and property of all, but which is, according to the Con stitution of these realms, especially " the People's House." Much is said of our nicely balanced Constitution. Let us examine it. The Crown is a mere puppet in the hands of the aristocracy, and virtually, if not no►ninally, possesses no political power. The House of Lords, which, except in case of voting the supplies, possesses a power commensurate with the House of Commons, is, of course, the ready instrument of oli garchical rule. We now come to the third branch of that Legislature, in which, according to theory, op posing interests are so impartially represented that they form a counterpoise the one to the other. The Commons' House of Parliament, designed to repre sent the peoide as distinguished from the nobility of this country, who possess .a House of their own, is chosen by the votes of one-seventh part, and a majo rity of its Members by one twenty-third part, of the male adult population. This is the House of Com mons, which, according to the theory of the Consti tution, represents the sentiments of the whole people of Great Britain !
