Sta,—The dark and gloomy aspect which the state of the working classes of this country presents, is calculated to af ford matter of deep sympathy to every feeling heart, and to no other cause can the poverty and distress which exist Le attri buted than to that unchristian and inhum in impost which de. nies the poor man an) thing like a just or equal enjoyment of " Heaven's best gift," and proves the mere mockery and hollowness of British freedom and justice. When the boasted charter of liberty (the Reform Bill) passed into a law, and gave to the people a partial voice in the election of their RepresentativeA, it was never imagined that it was become a dead letter, and its purposes were to be frustrated by the very Government which granted it; far less that it should serve as a cloak to cover the abuses of former Admi nistrations, and rivet more securely the claims which bind and oppress the people. On the contrary, every honest and sin cere Liberal fully and naturally expected that many whole some reforms would flow from it—that it was the source from which would proceed a more extended suffrage ; and, above all, that the first grand act of a Reform Ministry would be to ameliorate the condition of the many, by the abolition of the Corn-laws. which have, on the one hand, from year to year, filled the pockets of the landholders, and enabled them to riot in luxury and ease; and, on the other, by their famishing influence, sunk the working classes to the very depth of po verty and misery. It is not to be wondered, theta that while this iniquitous tax continues in force, there are those to be found who, regardless of; and despising the laws which uphold so ciety, recommend an appeal to physical strength ; and still less surprising is it that a people, starved to desperation, and goaded on by acts of tyranny and oppression, should lend a willing ear to their counsels, und be ready to join in' 'nets of violence, however opposed to all social order and good go vernment. The pampered aristocrat, while he revels in plenty, may well prate about endurance, and condemn as revolutionary the threatening attitude of the people ; but, Sir, it is folly to ex pect that men can behold their families starving around them, their own energies crippled, and such a state of things perpe tuated, instead of being abolished, by a Government, at the hands of which they expected so much, and 'not forget the re spect they owe to the institutions of their country. Every sincere friend of humanity must deprecate the course recom mended by some of the present leaders; but it requires little discernment to see that, if Government still lends a deaf ear to the " broad cry" of the per ple, the consequences will be truly awful. I rejoice to see that, in the Noah of England and in Scot. land, the people arc moving in this righteous cause, and it is to be hoped that in the ensuing session of Parliament petition upon petition will be poured in, until - Government can no longer refuse to abolish so unjust a system. Your labours have done much to enlighten the people upon the subject ; but it is to be regretted that, although poverty and distress exist in this quarter, and many condemn the Corn-laws as the cause, yet they are too much under the power of the agriculturists to make any decided movement in favour of their abolition. Siuce our youthful and beloved Queen ascended the British throne, one bright gem has been added to her diadem by the extinction of slavery in the West Indian colonies ; and oh I sincerely do I join in the aspiration of millions that its bril liancy may not be tarnished, nor its lustre obscured, by the continuance of laws as opposed to the laws of God as they arc to every precept of humanity. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Devizes, Jan. 12, 1839. A RADICAL. MR. THEODORE HOOK'S" GURNEY MARRIED*" —The pictures in these volume s are c h iefly of middle life— that life which has in England so many gradations of class before it reaches high or descends into l ow , and so curious an admixture of that which is genteel, without rising into refine ment, with what is homely and vulgar, without falling into coarse brutality. The public know, ho wever, that this is the refreshing book t o variety recognise. of every arena in which Mr. Hook is so much at h ome ; or, if they do not, or whether they do is in or not, we ad v i se t h em to read quitee e d G a u y rn c e h y ar A a l c a t r e r r, Married. Thera is qu e Who, par example, would not rejoice to meet again in a book (though, save the mark, not elsewhere, for the world), the artful, and artificial Mrs. Brandyball—now r a i se d i nto tyranny beyond en d uranc e by prosperity, now humiliated to the dust by exposure—is not hers a character that crosses ev er y b o d y ' s path, a t l east once i n th e course of a life. To the weakness of Cuthbert, the eccentricities of Nubley, the gentleness of Jane, the n o i s y, p ass i ona te, thoughtless, selfishne ss o f K a t e , the Doctor, the Sailor, the Dancing,-master, the Swindler, and the membtr of the Swell Mob, all have their true being and existence in the every day-life which is . so perfectly an d deli cately mirrored i n th ese pages.--Morn i ng Post. AN APPEAL TO THE OPPONENTS OF THE CORN-LAWS. It will be seen from our report of the meeting of the Direc• tors of the Anti-Corn Law Association, that two of their num ber have been appoiisted to represent them at Manchester, at the Anti- Corn-law Festival of the twenty-third inst. We are given to understand that the Secretary of the Associa tion has been directed by the Chairman to intimate this ap pointment to the Secretary of the Manchester Association, and to crave a forenoon conference with that body on that day. It is much to be desired that the opponents of the Corm,laws in Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester, Bir mingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Hull, and other manufactur ing towns, would, in like manner, appoint delegates to pro ceed to Manchester en the twenty-third. Such a conven tion wculd mutually encourage those who meet to interchange information. A greater information and unity would be in troduced int o th e movement now i n progress against the Corn laws. A meeting of the representatives of the great manu facturing districts in Manchester, to mature a common plan of attack upon the .Cormlaws, would make the hardiest sup porter of these iniquitous enactments pause and reflect. At the constituent meeting-, the Directors were ordered, without loss of time, to prepare a petitiott, descriptive of the destructive operation of the Corn-laws, pledging the sub icritles s to make good their case, by witnesses, at the bar of the House of Commons, and craving permission to do so. The Directors feel the full arduousness of the step they take iniskdging themselves to make out a case against the Corn lavo.4 by_ evidence at the 'bar of the House of Commons. Every word in the statements of their petition will be weighed; as if they were adjusting the issues for a trial in the Jury Court. The petition, thus matured, will be put in the course of signature early next week. Glasgow will thus have given the best pledge it can of being in earnest : we put it to the gentlemen we are now more especially addressing, and to the communities of which they ate members—will they, or n ill they not, back us in this wager of battle we offer to the landowners? The landowners have no right to complain. We pledge ourselves to make good our case to the satisfaction of a Jury packed by themselves. The public at large has no cause to fear; we stipulate that our proceedings shall be public—that parties and judges shall take every step. with the whole nation looking on. We have perfeeQ confidence in the justice of our cause ; and we have no doubt that the convictions of men of average sense, and the shame of men of average honesty, will, under these:circumstances, by this means work out our deliverance from the Corn-laws. All that is now requisite to success is, that Glasgow be not left to fight the fight alone.—Glasgow Argus. S FORTIN INTELLIGENCE LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.

On 'Wednesday, according to previous announcement, the Earl of Erroll, the Master of her Maj'sty's Buck Hounds, formally laid what is usually called " the first stone" of th?. Ascot Grand Stand. The day for the ceremony was most propitious, and a large comp an y as sem bl e d or the occasion, among whom were the Trustees, the Right Hon. the Earl of Erroll, K.T. ; H. Seymour, Esq. ; T. R. Ward, Esq., and M. Gilbertson, Esq., and many Ladies and Gentlemen of dis tinction. About twelve o'clock the trustees left the Jockey Club Stand, preced, d by the secretary, the architect, and builder, (severally carrying the silver trowel; mallet, &e.), and pro ceeded to the building, the company assembling round the principal entrance pier on which the stone was to be deposited. The business of the day was then commenced by Mr. Henry Seymour, who, addressing his Lordship and the company, said he was desired by his brother trustees to request his Lordship to honour the structure they were about to raise, by laying the first stone, to commemorate the erection of a building intended for the convenience of the numerous visitors to the Ascot races. Mr. Ward supported the request. The trowel was then presented to his Lordship by the ar chitect, and in a truly masonic style the stone was laid. After which his Lordship addressed the company in the following words Ladie•, Brother Trustees, and Gentlemen,—lt has given me great pleasure to respond to your request, in laying (formally) the first stone of a building, which I be lieve will prove the greatest possible convenience to the public frequenting Ascot Race:. I he i g to say that I have every confidence in the stability and elegance of the erection. My efforts to secure the completion of the structure by the next races have been warmly promoted by those gentlemen who have kindly rendered me their assistance. I can assure you that this day has been one of great satisfaction to me, and on All future occasions I shall feel gratified in giving my influence to promote the public interests of this national sport, for the view of which this building is particularly erected." At the conclusion of the ceremony nine hearty cheers were givep. The trustees, accompanied by several shareholders and gentlemen who had been present, repaired to the Jockey Club Stand, where a cold collation was provided. Some dis.. appointment was felt that the day's amusement could not ter minate as had been previously arranged ; in consequence of the severity of the frost it was found impossible to turn out the deer.

EFFECT OF TIIR BREAD TAX ON MANUFACTURES AND ON AGRICULTURE. —ln illustration of the effect of the bread tax on our foreign trade, it may be stated that cur average annual exports to the whole of Europe were less in value by nearly 20 per cent. the five years from 1832 to 1836, than they were in the five years that followed the close of the war in 1815. And these exports to all Europa, with its population of 180 millions—our neighbours—are only double our exports to the United States, of which the population is but 12 millions, and separated from us, by a distance of 3,000 miles. The Ameri cans buy from us, because we buy from them. The European nations buy as little as possible from us, because we buy as little as possible from them. A stronger proof of the rapid growth of the woollen manufacture on the continent cannot be given than is furnished by the attend ince of buyers at the great German Wool Fairs. Formerly the English buyers were incomparably the most important, and they had in a measure the control of the in,rkets. Now, the English buyers are much inferior in im portance to those of P:usaia, France, and Belgium and if they attempt to influence the markets they are laughed at! Men of the West Riding, what say you to this? Several eminent machine-makers and spinners have emi grated, and are about to emigrate, from England to Belgium and other parts of the continent. The machine-making esta blishments of Germany are immensely on the increase. The cotton hosiery of Saxony, the fine woollen cloths, mousselines (le laine, and jewellery- of France, and the cotton prints of Switzerland, are far superior to the same manufactures in England. These are merely specimens of the continental progress in manufactures. Take a more general fact. Compare the foreign trade of England, France, and the United States, as to their rate of increase : FOREIGN TRADE OF ENGLAND. FRANCE. U. STATES, Average Annual Exports during the five years 36,781,423 16,609,182 10,126,438 from 1820 to 1824 Average Annual Exports during the five years 43,428,453 31,784,016 17,607,710 from 1832 to 1836 Increase in the English Exports, 18 per cent. Do. „, French do. 91 „ ... American do. 74 „ These facts abundantly prove that England is suffering► from foreign competition, and that our foreign rivals in trade and manufactures are gaining fast upon us in the race. Un der these circumstances is it not the extreme of folly for the English Government to put a heavy weight upon our manu factures ? Not only do our former customers in Europe now supply themselves with manufactures : they are beginning to supply our more distant customers also. If this should go on, what will become of the immense foreign trade of England, amoun ting to from 40,000,0001. to 50,000,000/. sterling a year, and employing 3 500,000 tons of shipping? And what will be come of the manufacturers, workmen, and sailors, who are now supported by it ? Mr. Al' Culloch estimates the quantity of all kinds of grain annually, consumed in the United Kingdom at 52,000,000 quarters ; if this he correct, every shilling added to the price of grain by the Corn-law is equivalent to a tax of 2,600,000/. ; and, supposing that English grain of all kinds is raised in price 7,. per quarter as the effect of the Corn-law, the total pressure of the bread tax on the people of England is equal to eighteen millions two hundred thousand pounds sterling a year 1 The same distinguished statistical writer is of opinion that only about one-tenth of this amount, or 1,800,000/. goes as increased rent to the landlords. The nation, therefore, pay 18,200,0001 to yield the landlords 1,800,000/. ! Is not the bread tar, then, as Wasteful as it is unjust and oppressive ?—Leeds Mercury. IRELAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT ) DUBLIN, JAN. 19. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DUBLIN AND LONDON. This day ore of the most respectable meetings I have ever seen . in. Dublin W7IS held at the Commercial Buildings, to pe :tition Parliament to take the most prompt means of establish ing a communication between Dublin and London, as eligible and eiperiitious as possible. The Lord Mayor was in the chair, and deputations were present from Shrewsbury, Ches ter, and Carnarvonshire to represent the interests of Holy head, Ormshcad, end Port Dynlaen. The meeting was ad dressed by Mr. O'Connell the Hon. Frederick Shaw, M. I'., the Hon. Robert Clive, Sir Love Perry, M. P., and by several of our eminent merchants and bankers. None of the deputa tions were permitted to set forth the advantages of their se veral plans, but the meeting passed resolutions and adopted a petition calling upon Parliament to select the best harb?ur and the best railway to secure a speedy communication. The meeting was attended by gentlemen of all politics, all of whom took the strongest interest in the proceedings. O'CONNELL DINNERS. Mr. O'Connell is about to be entertained at another series of public dinners. On Tuesday he will attend a grand ban quet given by his constituents, for which the Royal Circus has been fitted up, in a manner to entertain 800 persons. The Chair will be taken by Ignatius Callaghan, Esq., an eminent merchant of Dublin. Mr. Peter Purcell was to have pre sided, but for his recent attack on Mr. O'Connell. On Thurs day he will be entertained by the inhabitants of Drogheda, in a magnificent manner; and Newry is making rapid prepara tions for doing him similar honour, but no day has yet been fixed for the entertainment. On Thursday week Mr. O'Con nell's friend, Mr. Reddington, M. P. for Dundalk, will re ceive a public dinner from his constituents, at which it is said Mr. O'Connell will attend, but Ido not believe lie will. On the 2d of February Mr. O'Connell will sail for Holyhead ; he has repeated his determination of returning to Ireland at least once a fortnight to get up the Precursor agitation, by which he thinks be can do more service than by anything that he could effect in Parliament, with the present strong Tory mino - rity opposeCommons,lraland in the Commons, and the overwhelm ing majority in the Lords. Mr Purcell has written another letter on the investment of the funds of the Precursor Society, but he has stated no new fact, or put no old ene in a fresh light. At the meting of the Precursor Society yesterday, little was done, except bringing forward another of the Registry Reports upon which the Com mittee have been lately engaged. Mr. O'Connell, in bring ing it forward, stated that if a Bill for the Reform of the London Corporation were brought in, he would move its ex tension to Dublin, but if it were delayed, he would bring in the Irish Bill without postponement. He also, in the course of the proceedings, made an attack upon the Northern Whig newspaper, and stated that if a really Liberal Journal were established in 13elfast, in opposition to it, it could not fail to be successful. The meeting adjourned to Wednesday, on account of the O'Connell dinner being about to take place on Tuesday. The Clonmel Special Commission is still proceeding- The prisoners, Cornelius Hickey and William Walsh, were found guilty of the murder of Messrs. Cooper and Weyland. It is remarkable that nine of tha Jury were Roman Catholics. There have been several other convictions for offences of less importance. The persons in custody for the recent murder of Mr. O'Keefe will not be tried at this Commission, as sufficient evidence has not been procured. The sitting is not expected to terminate for another week. There will be a Levee at the Castle—the second for the season—on the 30th instant, and a Drawing Room on the fol lowing day. The proposed mail from Manchester to Leeds, by way of Huddersfield, has been contracted for, and will speedily be put upon the road. It is to run ten miles an hour, and will leave Manchester immediately after the arrival of the railway mail from London ; so that the Huddersfield bags will reach the town about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and there will be about three hours for the returu posts. Salmon fishing commences in Scotland on Friday next, which promises to be productive, from the great at tention bestowed on the salmon fisheries last year, to prevent poaching and the killing of the fish not in season. The Act passed last Session for the protection of the fisheries bas been highly beneficial. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Great Western Steam-ship Office, Jan. 1,1839. SIR,-My attention having been drawn to an article in the Times paper of the 28th December, upon the gale of the 28th and '9th of October, during the continuance of which the Liverpool arrived at Cove, and the Great Western is repre sented as having just departed, and in which it is made to ap pear that while the Liverpool experienced violent and westerly winds, the Great Western experienced fair breezes from the eastward, I think it right to state that nothing could be much worse than the weather the Western met with,- and that curing the height of the gale from the northward and west fs__,- _ ~.

W." ANSWER. The Great Western started at 3, r. m.; on the 27th, in a gale from S. W., which commenced to blow here at noon, and by the iVestern's log it fined down to strong winds, with a heavy short sea up, at michtight ;" continuing much the same (varied now and then by a squall) until noon on Sunday, when it was " moderate from the S. a W." At 3. 30., P. M. heavy rains, with increasing winds from 5.. W .., at 4, South, " At 7. 30., the wind veered to the S. R. Jo a squall, and from thence to North in ten minutes ;" and it ~continued blowing; hard but vsriable to the Nort2 , ward, with oce,'Ponal Easts . ng, until 4, a.m., on Monday—the ship, during these eight hours, going about five and half knots, while previously, with the wind dead on end or against her, she had bees; going seven and seven and a half. This will give you an icLea of the extent to which she was favoured by the wind. At 4, A.m., it settled in the N. W. to a regular gale, between which point and S. W. (with only occasional and very short Changes of ara hour or two's duration), it continued to blow what may be , called a series of gales for fifteen days, 67 hours only of the days passage make any mention of winds to the Eastward of North or South, and one hour only (midnight, 12th No vember), " inclinable to calm!,' The hurricane experienced a; re on October 28th and 29th, and which was equally fierce with her, appears to have been a mere bagatelle to some of the gales the Great Western afterwards e.ter,untered, particu larly- on the Ist, 2d, and 3d of November, and again on the Bth and 9th. The good ship, in perfect order, without even a ruck in her copper, is about to commence another series of passages, and as our friends are most assiduous in looking after our interests, you will confer a favour on the Company by letting me be made aware of any reports that may reach you, when you may rely upon hearing the truth from Your obedient servant, CHRISTOPHER CLAXTON, THE CHARTISTS IN THE WEST.
