AT a Numerous MEETING of PAPER MANUFACTURERS and STATIONERS, held at Stationers' Hall, cn Monday, the Bth instant, Sir JAMES WILLIAMS in the Chair, It was resolved unanimously, That this Meeting are highly gratified at the resolution of the Honourable the House of Commons, " That it is expedient to reduce the Postage charged on Letters to one uniform rate of one penny." That any plan for collecting the Postage by Envelope, or by Paper previously stamped for the purpose, will materially pre judice the manufacturers of and dealers in Paper :—First, as respects the Envelope, which, however small, unless rendered thoroughly unfit for or not capable of being written on, except ing for the address, would lessen the consumption of paper, take away from the trade of the Piper Manufacturer and Sta tioner, and give a monopoly into the hands of whomsoever should be the Contractor for such a manufacture. Secondly, if by Paper stamped by the Government and sold by them for that purpose, it would utterly de'troy the trade in Letter Pa per, now carried on by Stationers not only in London but in every town and village in the British dominions, by compelling them to purchase such stamped paper from a Government of fice instead of from the Manufacturer and Wholesale Dealer, as they have always been accustomed to do ; throw out of employ ment and livelihood to a very great extent, a large and indus trious class of persons in the middle rank of life, who now gain their subsistence and means of support by the sale of Letter Paper in all its variously useful, ornamental, and tasteful forms and shapes, in number of sorts considerably exceeding two hundred ; impose a most grievous burthen on them, in the necessity of providing a largely increased capital to enable them to keep a sufficiently assorted stock for the sup ply of their customers; harass the public by the introduction of a new and most inconvenient mode of obtaining paper on which to write letters, and give great facility to forgery and fraud. . . That the stamping sheets of paper must cause a vast obstruc tion to trade, by advancing the,cost in the proportion of 14s. to 60s. per ream, and the more than two hundred sorts of letter paper in the course of sale to the public, variously prepared and manufactured, would probably be reduced to a very insignifi cant number. That in order to give the public the full benefit of the pro posed reduced rate of postage, this Meeting are of opinion, that all persons should be at liberty to write on the paper most convenient to themselves, and that the postage should continue to be paid either in advance or on delivery, as at present ; which would relieve the Government from an additional establish. ment and expensive machinery, prevent fraud or forgery, and remove every grievance that would otherwise press heavily on the Stationers, and check their trade. That the use of Envelopes or Stamped Sheets of Paper to prove the previous payment of postage, would evidently entail large expense an& much inconvenience upon the Stamp Office, the traders in paper, and the public, and therefore does not afford any prospect of superior economy or advantage which has been assumed, although it may teasel' the accounts and duties of the Post Office. That a Petition be prepared in accordance with these Reso lutions, and presented to the House of Lords and Commons. That a Committee of Paper Manufacturers and Stationers (consisting of the present Committee, and such others as the y may think proper to add to their number), be appointed to watch the proceedings before Parliament, to confer with the Government, and to take such other steps as they may think necessary to protect the interests of the trade. That a Sub scription be entered into to defray the necessary expences at tendant on the proceedings of the Committee, and that Contri butions from the various Paper Manufacturers and Stationers be solicited for that purpose. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Master and Wardens of the Stationers' Company, for the use of their Hall on the present occasion. That the thanks of this Meeting be given to Sir James Wil liams, for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair. A Petition to the Houses of Lords and Commons, embodying the Resolutions, and a copy thereof, will lie at Stationers' Hall for the signatures of the trade, until Thursday next at four o'clock. Attendance at the Hall daily from nine till four. UNION FLINT GLASS COMPANY. NOTICE.

The work is evidently authentic, and the Public have more to do with its contents than with the pro priety or impropriety of Lady —'s publishing them to the world. Certain it is that none of the statements contained in the first two volumes have been successfully contradicted ; and Lord Brougham's criticisms in the Edinburgh Review' have only increased the public desire for a continuation of the book. In these concluding volumes the most interesting parts are the private letters of the Princess of Wales and her daughter.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. JULY 9. (Sittings before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) PEARSON V. MILLS. This was an action brought by the well known Mr. Charles Pearson, of the City, against the defendant, who had been engineer of one of the Brighton Railway lines, for slanderous words, imputing fraudulent conduct to the plaintiff in respect to that line in which he was interested. Defendant did not justify, but simply pleaded not guilty ; the speaking of the words, however, was clearly proved. The defendant appeared in person, and made some long and irrelevant statements, endeavouring to show that the words he had uttered were justifiable. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE told him repeatedly that not having pleaded that the words were justified, he admitted on the record that they were false, and it v.as fcr him only to disprove if he could the speaking of those words. This he could not do, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 150/. SCHWEPPE and CO.'S SODA WATER, POTASS WATER, and AERATED LEMONADE, so universally recommended by the faculty for their wholesome and refreshing properties, continue to be manufactured on the largest scale, and on the most scientific principle, at their four establishments—viz., London, Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby.

In the Insolvent Debtors Court on Tuesday a person named Roscow applied to be discharged. He bad brought an action for false imprisonment, but his attorney could not carry on the cause unless he had some money. He could not pay, and the other party non pressed the action and took him to prison. He had complained of false imprison. went; and was now in custody " according to law." He was discharged. In the Sheriffs' Court on Tuesday, an action was brought to recover damages for dilapidations under peculiar cir cumstances. It appeared by the evidence that the de fendant, a Mr. Hart, held a lease of a house in Shad well of the trustees of the Strathmore estate. The lease was granted in the year 1817, for the term of thirty years, and contained a proviso to " rebuild sufficiently the party walls," and the usual covenant to repair. The house, however, was an old wooden one, built in the Eliza bethan style, and, in the course of last year, fell to the ground. The plaintiffs now insisted that the defendant was bound to build a new house ; and as, by the new Building Act, it was prohibited to build wooden houses, it must ne cessarily be built of brick, and the cost of which was esti mated at 4501. Mr. James, for the defendant, contended that the tenant was only obliged to build in the same manner,, and in as good condition, being allowed the natural decay, as when be had it; and as the building could not be so built, the plaintiffs must bear the difference in the loss. An adjoining house, of a similar description to the one in question, was valued at 2501. The Jury found for the plaintiffs—Damages 2001. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court on Tuesday a journey man bricklayer, named Spracklan, made his appearance. He said he had become a candidate for an assistant clerk ship in the Westminster Court of Sewers. He had been disappointed in the object of his ambition, and ascribed his appearance in this Court to the circumstance. He had to canvass personally 500 " Commissioners ;" he had to dress well, and was obliged to neglect his business. He said he shut up a shop he kept, as there was a " rule of Court" that no person in business should be a candidate. The result of his ambition was that he had got himself into prison. He was ordered to be discharged. In a case decided on Tuesday in the Sheriff's Court, it was ruled by the Under-Sheriff that the mere production of a medical diploma was insufficient to entitle a surgeon apothecary to recover his bill from a customer without the presence of an individual from Apothecaries' Hall to testify to the authenticity of the diploma. The Under. Sheriff stated that in the higher Courts of Law the Judges differed on that point, some of those learned personages dcc'ating that the production of a diploma was amply sufficient, while others maintained that an authorised person from the Hall was indispensably requisite. THE LATE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH.—Is is reported that the late Bishop has left the Palace at Peterborough in such a state of dilapidation that there is not a room to live in ; it is also currently reported that it will take three thousand pounds to put it in a habitable condition, and that Mrs. Marsh, the Bishop's widow and executrix, will be proceeded ap t inst for the reaoYery er that sum of money. —Lincoln Mercury. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. NEW COURT. A REGULAR PRIG —George Wyatt, a youth well known at the prisons and police offices in the metropolis, was indicted for stealing a silk handkerchief, the property of Henry Drew, Esq., a merchant in Thames-street, from his pers( n. The evidence of the prosecutor was as conclusive as it was laconic, so that the jury without hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty. To an inquiry by the Court, Mr. Jones, the clerk of the papers at Newgate ' reported that the prisoner had been thirty times in the House of Correction or other places of confinement. The COMMON- SERGEANT told the prisoner that his long career in crime would now be checked. The judgment of the Court was that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten years. Tira FLEET RlOTERS.—Yesterday, James Thomas Russell, David Nathan, Wm. Hazlehurst, three of the persons charged, with thirteen others, for a riot and assault in the Fleet pr;son, and against whom a warrant bad is sued, surrendered themselves to abide the judgment of the Court. They pleaded guilty, and were ordered to enter into their recognizances in 2001. each to keep the peace for two years, and to appear to receive judgment whenever called upon. GREENWICH PETTY SESSIONS. THE GENTLEMEN LAMP-BREAKERS.—lnformation having been given to Sergeant Herring :of the R division of the police, that on Sunday evening, the 10th of June, a party of gentlemen dined at the Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich, and that one of them (Captain Hunter Blair, of the Fusi lier Guards) had amused himself there by breaking be tween two and three pounds worth of glass, by firing at them with an air gun; and as that was the same night on which the numerous lamps were broken in the Kent-road, belonging to the Phcenix Gas Company, suspicion imme diately fell upon him and the party to which he belonged. Inquiries were at once set on foot to discover who were his associates. In order to procure witnesses of the fact, and on application to the Magistrates at the public office being made by Mr. Clarke on behalf of the Phoenix Gas Company, summonses were issued and placed in the hands of Hodges, the parish constable, against Captain H. Blair, as the principal, and Captain Martyn, belonging to the 2d Life Guards ; Captain Bernal, 75, Eaton-square, and Charles Sheridan, Esq., to appear as witnesses against him. The only gentleman who attended the Bench was Captain Martyn, who satisfactorily proved to the Bench that he had not been to Greenwich on the night in question. Mr. CLARKE stated that Captain Blair would have been present had he not informed him there was no necessity. Mr. THACKERAY—How came you to do that, Sir? Mr. CLARKE—Captain Blair has agreed to pay all the damage that has been done, and also give ten pounds to the Seamen's Hospital-ship, the Dreadnought. The CHAIRMAN—SO you have compromised this dis graceful affair, at which I feel much surprise, after applying to us to bring the parties to justice. Mr. CLARKE-Not I, but the Company have, in consider ation of ten pounds for a charitable purpose. Mr. THACKERAY—These Captain-gentlemen have been destroying the property of the public, and they ought to suffer for their conduct. He was surprised at the Phcenix Company compromising the matter, as the public ought to be satisfied that the delinquents had been properly and sufficiently punished. They must have Captain Blair be fore them. It was only the other day that a person was committed and fined for a similar offence, and he would not consent to allow the affair to stop there. After some further observations it was arranged that Captain Blair should attend the Bench on Tuesday next. Captain Martyn and Mr. Clarke then retired, the Bench informing Captain Martyn that he had no occasion to at tend the next hearing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A little distracted shoemaker, named !Hugh Thomas, was brought before the Loan MAYOR for having per formed some pious pranks in the neighbourhood of the Mansion-house. The defendant gathered a crowd about him by endea vouring to read a Bible to some ragged children, and to expound to them as he proceeded. His auditors were becoming very numerous upon finding that he gave a very pleasing and convincing proof of his sincerity, for he ac companied his doctrines with gifts not of grace but of money—to some he gave sixpence, to others threepence, and it struck the police that if he continued in that trim for any length of time, his own family would have little more than the consolations of religion to "feed and clothe them." Besides, the growing fervour of his congregation, who seemed to be greatly struck with so eloquent a mode of entorcing arguments, began to betray symptoms of con tempt for the public peace. This little " child of God" as he called himself, was therefore whipped up by Smith, a sturdy policeman, who understands his business well, and placed before the authorities. The policeman having stated the means taken by the shoemaker for making converts, and the enthusiasm Kith which the poor devils about him accepted the conditions, The Loan MAYOR asked the little man what oc cupation he followed, and whether he had a wife and children. Defendant (in a low tone)— As for my occupation it is that of a shoemaker, but wife and family have I none. The Loan MAYOR—Come, speak up. You could make y ourself heard in the street well enough. Defendant—Yes, but in common matters I am some what timid, I can speak out as a child of God. The Lorin MAYOR—You have been throwing away your money like a very foalish child. Defendant—l have still half-a-crown left, and it can not be better applied than as I have been applying it, for " He who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord." The LORD MAYOR—But you must not come into the City to expound the Scriptures. What induced you to select so crowded a place ? Defendant—lt happened that upon a certain day I be took myself to the place called Clapham Common, and I heard there a loud cavilling about the name of our Lord, and I stood up and opened my mouth, and I spoke as loud as the rest, according to what the Lord inspired me with. So before I had done, the cavillers came upon me and `said that my senses and myself had separated, and gone dif ferent ways.—( A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—And why didn't you hold forth on Clapham Common, instead of coming amongst us ? There wa 3 room enough there for hundreds of cavillers. Defendant—True, but I found that they had more in fluence amongst the people than I had, so I thought the best way to manage was to put myself under the wing of the Lord Mayor, that I might obtain from your Lordship the same sort of influence which those cavellers have, for I find that as a child of God, I am born to do good. Toe Loan MAYOR—I suppose you want a licence to preach. Defendant—That is the very thing, and the only thing I want. I received a divine intimation that I was to buy a bible and open my mouth thereupon, and so I purchased one, and though I can read but badly I found it quite easy to explain everything.—( A laugh. ) The LORD MAYoR—But this plan of giving away your money along with your doctrine can't last long. The defendant seemed ready to admit that his plan was by no means orthodox, but stated that as he bad half-a crown in his pocket and ten shillings at home, he was wil ling to continue the experiment until the whole sum should be expended. The Loan MAYOR advised hint to return to his old busi- ness as soon as his congregation should fall away, which would no doubt disperse with his money ; whatever profes. sion he might adopt, however, he must not exercise his " call" in the City of London. The defendant—l only sought your Lordship to know what I should do, for I had nobody to introduce me. The LORD MAYOR—Apply to the Magistrates at Union Hall for a license, but I advise you to stick to your trade. You will find there is nothing like leather.—( A laugh.) Defendant : No—l am called, lam called 1 I find that I am a child of the Lord, and that I can smite Beelzebub with the jaw-bone of a jack-ass.—( A laugh.) The defendant, who was said to be in the habit of alter nating between teetotalism and the other extreme, a state by no means unusual, and pronounce d by some medical men to be attended by all the symp toms of p ious insanit y , then promised the Lord May or to confine his o p erations t o Clapham Common, for performing in which place he w ou ld immediately apply to the Surrey Magistrates for a license. B p TV James Fuller was ye , ter- An apprentice nan' Sbackell , the TV. STREET. officer, charged with day brought up wb4h others in stealing a quantity of brass to of Mr. Russel Poutifex, brass-founder, Upper being and other concernedm et a metal articles, amounting 5001. and upwards, the property ; George TVestbrooke, Wm. errtck Barrel, and Francis Simpson, were also charged with receiving and disposing of the same, Slvt.eslbarrotoahine:s.mlane,.his master well knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Dodd conducted the prosecution, and a clerk from the office of Mr. Flower, appeared for the prisoner Fuller- The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner Fuller had been his apprentice for the last five years, and having about two years back began to miss property from his factory, con sisting of metal pumps, metal milk washers, brass taps and valves, with other article; of a similar description, he re p 2atedly mentioned the circumstance to hi m , 441 as he plaped much confidence ip hit} he desired he would use EVENING EDITION every diligence in order to detect the thief, but as the property continued to vanish, the other apprentices were ordered to have a strict watch upon every person em ployed upon the premises. The prisoner, George West orooke, is a bootmaktr, and used to work for the appren- %hieh be ;ad free acces .ti) the factory behind' tl.e fremi which the property pro duced, %alue 100/. and u d w..rd , , was stolen. but the entire loss he estimated at more than 5001. Edward Brown Pontitex, son of the prosecutor, being sworn, said, I am seventeen years of age, and am appren ticed to my father, at whose business I work in the factory. About two years back I went to the /louse of George Westbrooke, in Litchfield -street, for the purpose of getting a pair of boots repaired, and in a few days after having gone for them, and not having sufficient money to pay, he desired me to get some goods from my father's shop to raise money, and that he would make it all right, but not to tell any person except Fuller, the apprentice, who would not disclose it. On the same evening, I took from the shop-window a quantity of brass taps, which I brought to him and he then gave me up the boots repaired. The taps were worth 16s. , and he desired me to procure some mole, but not to be frightened about it, as he would net discover against me. In about a week after I told the prisoner right, desiring me to take more, which I did on the fol lowing Saturday, and he assisted me in carrying o r dozen of small brass articles to the house of George Westbrooke, to whom we sold them for ss. each, although the entire wc . .e worth about 4/. I again went to Westbrooke in a few days to express my fears that the robbery would be discovered, but he said there was nothing to apprehend and urged me to procure some more. After a short lapse of time I took a pump-barrel, and left it at his house, the prisoner Fuller being in the house at the time, and on asking what it brought, George Westbrooke said he had sold it for a penny per pound as old lead, at the same time giving me half of the price of it. In three weeks after, being at George Westbrooke's house, I asked him to lend me some money, but he denied having any, and said he would speak to his brother William, whom we met by ap pointment, and he said he had no objection if I could give him proper security. I immediately offered Fuller, and on his agreeing to the arrangement, I procured a half-crown stamp (produced) with the money given to me for that pur pose, which was filled up by William Westbrooke, for the sum of 20/. 17s. 6d., and on my writing my name across it I received 3/. 17s. 6d. after it was signed by Fuller. On my inquiring why the sum was so large an amount on the bill, William Westbrooke said he could do nothing with me unless he filled it up in that way, in case I neglected to pay such a sum when it became due. When the bill became due in seven days, William Westbrooke demanded payment, and upon my requestinvime, G. Westbrooke desired me to steal mote bf ,my father's property, offering to be in waiting on Monday evening, when he usually went fro'n home. On the following Monday George West brooke came to the house with another man, and on my admitting them into the metal room they filled a pail and a basket with ingot metal and cast work, which they took down stairs, and were let out by the prisoner Fuller, who waited below, for the purpose of preventing my brother from knowing what was going on - ; and as they went away George Westbrooke promised to satisfy his brother for the amount of the bill with the proceeds of the goods, but in a few days I and Fuller were served with writs by 'William Westbrooke far the defendant. I was obliged to beg further time, and William Westbrooke tore the writ in my presence, swearing at the same time he would put me in prison unless he was paid. When Fuller received the copy of the writ he brought it me, and swore that if I re. fused to steal more articles, for the purpose of having the amount instantly paid he would cut my throat, and on the same day we took about a quarter of a hundred weight of metal,which we placed in the stable to convey it to G. West brooke, but it was found by my father,who expressed his de termination to find out the thief, and then Fuller desired me to tell how it came there. I then went to France where I remained for a week, being afraid of being arrested for the check, and on my return having met with George West brooke, he desired me to procure more goods, and I brought him some every week for three months, all of which I sold to hint for less than half the value. On the 23d of June I took four metal taps to him, value 10s., for which ho gave me 2.. ; and I subsequently assisted Fuller in carrying the valves and brass taps, produced, to George Wcstbrooke's house. Mr. James Lock, plumber and painter of High street, Peckham, proved that on the 9th of April, last year, he Purchased from the prisoner, William Westbrooke, a quan tity of milk washers, some valves, a pump, and a quantity of brass screws for 201. • and on the 23d of May following, a brass work for 71., for each of which sums he got the receipts produced. Mr. Thomas Smith, cotton-factor, of Long Lane, Ber mondsey, knew the Westbrookes, from whom, in the month of February last, he purchased the pump produced, toge ther with a number of duplicates for Fine metal taps,whia he redeemed at a pawnbroker's in Union-street for 21. 165., and about the middle of June last he bought the duplicates produced of 100 brass cocks from George Westbrooke, which he redeemed from different pawnbrokers. He gave I Is. for them, and he subsequently bought 16 others from the pi'soner. _ . . . . Mr. John Hubbard, plumber and glazier, High-street, Newington, proved that on the 16th of June he purchased a quantity of screws, brass taps, and other articles produced from the prisoner Burrel, for the sum of 41., for which be got the receipt produced. Several other tradesmen, and the different pawnbrokers to whom the Westbrookcs had pledged and sold other property produced, which was identified by the prosecutor, gave similar testimony. Mr. TWTFORD, after consulting with Mr. Charles Thisel tom, a county magistrate, inquired what was the nature of the evidence against the prisoner Simi son. Shackell replied that he was not prepared to offer any in the present case as he had expected in the commence ment, but he had to apply for him to be remanded to a future day, as he had a separate and distinct charge of felony to prefer against him. Afier the several witnesses were bound over, the four pri soners were fully committed for trial, and the prisoner Simpson was ordered to be remanded until Friday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A PUBLIC CHARACTER.--An important personage, known by the appellation of " Mysterious Charley," who figures daily in the full blown dignity of head Waterman of the Oxford-street coach-stand, obtained a peace war rant against his coadjutor in the water-bucket and nose bag department, for having threaterrd to rip out his abdo minal viscera—no trifling undertaking apparently, when the complainant's aldermanic rotundity is taken into con sideration. Overtures towards a reconciliation were in flexibly repulsed, until they were about to enter the office, when the defendant having hinted that he knew where the best gin in London was sold, and that he'd stand a pint and pay all expenses, the complainant found the proposal irrisistible, and he at once consented, with a watering mouth, to withdraw the warrant, and to adjourn instanter to the wine vaults. Both parties accordingly presented themselves before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr. Comurey to have the case discharged. You have settled this matter, have you master?" said 'Air. CHAMBERS. " Oh, yes," replied Charley, who evidently was deter mined not to let the merit of his concession be lost on the Bench. " I don't vantto have no conflagrations with nobody. I shaul bear no hamanosity agin a old pal. Hg's consented to let me live in peace and happiness, and gimme the share of the water, vich is all as Never I vents." Mr. CHAMBERS—What occasioned your quarrel ? " Vy, you see," said Charley, " he's continivally kick. ing up the greatest of riots arter sae, so as 1 can't get a hapenny out of the rank if it vos to save my blessed life." Mr. CHAMBERS—But what did he do? " Do," replied Charley, " vy he hollers arter me all sorts of wulgar acclamations, sitch as Hullo Charley, I'll cook yer goose for yen.'" Mr. CHAMBERS—And pray what do you understand by the saying, " That he'll cook your goose ?" Charley—Vy, it's as much as to say 'at he'll break my heart off the rank, so as I shan't sarve another bucket to the hanimals, nor handle no more nose bags agin. Thirty bear ago, yer vership, I took the original diseased vater man's place, and ever since I've vorked on the same piece of ground highly respected and loved by the whole globe. But there's a conspiracy agin me to get me out, and if it hadn't been for the landlord, I shouldn't have had nothing to put in my wife and my babbies' bellies. Ho stuck to me like a trump, and vouldn't let nobody else draw no vorter. Mr. CHAMBERS—You have now settled the matter. Take care you don't quarrel again. Charley—Yes, I thought it hadwiseable to settle this here instigation amorously, 'cause I vould'nt have no hubble-bubble about it arterards, and because I vants it to act as a vorning to the tothers, wot I'm going to bring afore you. Mr. CHAMBERS—I hope you are not about to bring any more charges of this sort here. _ _ Charleyi-Blets yer vership, I'm hobligated to go on furder. I can't get no peace and happiness vithout I do. All on 'em call at me day arter day, yen they drives down the road. There's Blore's Busmen and Bandy Bill, a n d the whole kit, must learn from the hies of the law, as h er Majesty's peace aint to be wiolated by such wagge r b ons with impurity. Having talked himself dry, the complainant took his ri val's arm and adjourned to the gin shop, The Earl of Minto has been indisposed during t h e last few days, but was much better yesterday. The Noble Earl was confined to his chamber nearly the whole of Saturday. THE POST HORSE DUTY.—The opening of so many railways leading into the metropolis, has drawn a good deal of public attention to the claim put forward by t he postmasters and innkeepers for some relief from their preient grievous burdens. Their case is one that really appears only to require being plainly stated to convince every body that they have a most equitable right to the re lief they seek for. It will be short sighted for Govern. ment to say, " the tax produces 30 and so, and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer can't spare it," because whether he can spare it or no, he is not likely to get it much longer ; and while there is a chance that, by reducing the tax ono half, something may be got, it is almost certain that keep ing it at its present rate will be a total extinguisher. One party directly interested, we imagined, in this matter, was the public, and that fully as much so as the coach proprie tors—but it seems we were in error. A deputation of the trade, who waited on Mr. Spring Rice the other day, was coolly told by him " that it was impossible to legislate for any particular interest." We suspect this is only the case where the legislation touches the Exchequer, and that the statute-book could prove most effectually that there is n o such impossibility.— Worcester Herald. THE CORN LAWS.—We rejoice to find that the system of agitation adopted, by the Manchester Anti. Corn-law League, answer; so admirably. It is an agita tion of the right sot. Such agitation is a new instrument in political regeneration. Rulers are slow to discover fal lacies, or to suggest improvements ; but the country must not, In the mean time, be brought to ruin. The people must take the matter in their own hands. With a right understanding of the real causes of national prosperity and decline, and with firmness and perseverance, they must succeed in obtaining all the necessary changes.—Bendel Mercury.
