Stephen's Sermon, at Ashton-under-Line, was not furnished by a reporter of our own, but was copied from a Morning Paper. Mr. Stephens seeing our Journal, and not seeing the Morning Paper from which it was copied, has con tradicted part of that report as it appeared in The Sun. We published his contradiction, which a " Subscribe r" will admit is fair play. He will find it i❑ 7'he Sun a Saturday, and from that he may form his own opinion of what Mr. Stephens actually said in his Sermon.

The Corn-law agitation at length works well ; one of the most sure signs of the interest it excites being that the Tory Journalists make a party question of it, and write on it daily. We will not dispute with them on the point ; it is a party question. The Tories have always been the patrons of wrong, the upholders of oppression, the authors of robbery under the name of patriotism, the enemies of freedom, the encouragers of cruelty, the promoters of crime, who have ever pre ferred starving the people to giving them liberty ; and the Corn-laws are just such a system of robbery and wrong as they delight to uphold. The abolition of the Corn laws is a vital party question, all the advocates of free dom, humanity, and righteousness being on one side, and all the defenders of slavery, cruelty, and starvation on the other, calling themselves Tories. A more pleasing symptom of the agitation working as it ought, is the meeting of the Coffee-house Keepers of the metropolis, some of the statements made at which, are well worthy of the reader's atttention. At Aberdeen an Anti-Corn-law Association has been formed, to co operate with the Manchester and Glasgow Corn-law Associations in their efforts to obtain a hearing at the bar of Parliament. Mr. THOMAS BANNERMAN was in the Chair, and was elected President ; and Mr. BA.NNERmAN, M.P., addressed the meeting. We must, however, add, that the working people stood aloof, and held a meeting of their own, to declare that it was of no use petitioning the present Legislature, and that they would use all their exertions to make the Char ter the law of the land. The borough of Finsbury is to meet on Wednesday week, and the parish of Cler- kenwell will meet to-morrow. On all sides, then, the people are now making a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether ; and we have no doubt that, in the end, they will pull down the laws. Several points of the case of the Abolitionists are well put hi an address to the manufacturers and work men of Yorkshire, which appeared in the Leeds Mer- curl of Saturday. For example, the following shows that these laws are a gross violation of the liberty of the subject : " Manufacturers must buy food by selling cloth. Common sense and common justice dictate that you should be allowed to sell your cloth in any market where you can get the most food in return. " But the bread-tax says you SHALL NOT. It forbids you to buy your food where you can get it cheapest ; and, as the necessary effect, it prevents you from selling your cloth where you can get the best price. Is not this an act of monstrous injustice and folly ? What right has Government to burden you and injure trade, in order to increase the rent of the landlords ?" The laws lay a restraint on industry ; they prohibit trade ; they declare that food shall not be produced for our. hungry artizans in Germany and Poland. The putting an end to the restriction—to the prohibition— would be a return to freedom, as well as a multiplica tion of food ; and the Legislature, •which maintains such laws, is unworthy of being obeyed. It will be seen from our report that the Association of Coffee and Eating-house-keepers in London, last evening agreed to petition Parliament for the imme diate and total repeal of the Corn-laws. This is a very numerous class now in the metropolis, and from the nature of their business, and the intercourse they have daily with a large portion of the inhabitants, pro bably not less than three hundred thousand, all in terested in the repeal of the obnoxious tax, this resolu tion cannot fail to be regarded as one of great impor tance. The meeting, however, had reference to another subject, not less affecting them, and all the middle and poorer classes, than even the Corn laws—we mean the cruel and nefarious combina tion in the coal trade ; and this Association has the honour of being the first public body to come forward and pass an unanimous vote of thanks to the LORD MAYOR for his disinterested, persevering, and effective exertions to abate one of the greatest nui sances, and the most iniquitous tax that ever oppressed a civilized community. This is the first, but we are convinced it will not be the last vote of thanks to the Chief Magistrate, who prefers the interests of his fellow-citizen s , and chiefly those who have none to help them, to the favour of many of his colleagues— of coal-owners in the North —and of all the rich and powerful parties who have been plundering the public at the rate of a million sterling a-year. The Chair man said, properly, injurious as the tax was to the body whom he represented, it was infinitely more in jurious to the starving poor, and gave a striking in stance, which ought to harrow the feelings of those mo nopolists who call themselves Christians, and friends of the needy. During the severity of last season, be had been a member of a relief committee, for distri buting cheap coals amour t , the poor, and in the dis charge of his duty bad occasion to witness the most distressing scenes. In one district be found fourteen or fifteen persons huddled together in one room, to pre serve animal heat ! And he could have added that he saw thousands suffering under fevers and other diseases, brought on by cold and damp ; solely owing to the starvation price of one of the great necessaries of life. Bu this is an evil which cannot now be long endured. Companies are forming to supply the metropolis with with coals, at a moderate rate. Sentence has been pronounced on the conspirators, and we cordially con cur in the wish half-expressed by one of the speakers, that if one year is not sufficient, the Lord Mayor may have two to carry it into execution. We direct the attention of our readers to a case of as flagrant Tory oppression as ever yet came under our notice. The particulars of this case—which we gather from a printed statement that has been sent us—are as follow: In the year 1827, Mr. BARNES, a gentleman " bearing the highest testimonials of character and ability from many of the principal bankers, merchants, and clergy men, in the county of Warwick," was appointed by the Trustees, most of whom, it seems, are " Tories, and self-elected," to the Head Mastership of the Helston Commercial Academy. In this situation, Mr. BARNES gave such general satisfaction, that men of all parties combined in bearing testimony to his merits—the Tory Trustees, in particular, who, in " their own resolution books, recorded from year to year their unqualified ac knowledgements of his talents as a teacher." Thus stood matters up to 1837 ; in the summer of which year, an election for the borough of Helston took place, when Mr. BARNES, from a conscientious con viction of duty, voted for Mr. BULLER, the Liberal candidate. From that moment his ruin was resolved on by the Tories, who, with that fiery zeal for perse cution which has ever formed their chief characteristic, lost not an hour in setting all their engines, open and secret, actively to work against him. First, they trumped up a charge that he had violated a " promise of neutrality" made to the Tory candidate ; and finding him guilty—a result to have been expected, considering, that Tories were his judges, Tories his jury, and To ries his accusers !--they proceeded to pass on him a " vote of censure," in the hope that such a vote might he attended with serious injury to his character. Their cunning, however, in this instance, overshot its mark, for the parents of Mr. BARNES'S pupils called a meeting ; inquired into the grounds on which the vote of censure had been passed ; and after a full, impartial investigation, not only exculpated, and expressed un abated confidence in him—but went still farther, and unanimously passed resolutions denouncing the conduct of the Tories in the most unqualified terms of indigna tion ! Foiled in this, their first direct attack, the Trustees next " brought forward a claim of a balance on a ten years' account as due to them ;" but failing in this manoeuvre also, yet resolved at all hazards on crushing their victim, they at length stood upon their legal right, as Trustees, to elect their own Master. Accordingly, in the spring of last year, they gave Mr. BARNES notice to quit the school at midsummer, anti, on his declining to comply, commenced an action of ejectment against him, which so disgusted the parents of his pupils, that they called a second meeting, when —the whole correspondence between Mr. BARNES and the Trustees, together with other documents, having been laid before them—they passed a resolution to the effect, that the charges brought against that gentleman were not only unfounded, but evidently the offspring of political rancour I Despite, however, this strong declaration in his favour, the Tories have so far succeeded in their darling object of crushing Mr. BARNES, that they have deprived him of his post, and appointed their own Master ; and will even be the means, as they fondly hope, of utterly ruining him, if his friends do not carry out with spirit their projected scheme of building him a new school-house. We have given this case at greater length than is our wont, because the mere details put the necessity of the Ballot in a stronger light than it was ever put even by Mr. GROTE in Parliament. Here we find a gentleman, moving in the most respectable sphere in Helston—well conducted, well educated, and on whose character there are neither spot nor stain—who has for years and years together acquitted himself as schoolmaster to the satisfaction of all the Tory Trus tees—who, on more than one occasion, has publicly received the thanks of his fellow-townsmen, and raised his establishment to a degree scarcely to have been anticipated on its first institution :—here, we say, we have an instance of a gentleman, thus beneficially em ployed in the most valuable of all services, the service of education, subjected to the cruellest persecution, blackened by calumny, and deprived even of the means of subsistence, for no worse crime than that of acting according to the dictates of his conscience, and refusing to become the mere abject—reckless—unp t ilicipled tool of the Tories ! Had Mr. BARNES played the part of a scoundrel, rather than that of an honest man, who doubts that he would at this moment have been the thriving Head Master of the Helston Commercial Academy, praised by Tories, and upheld by them against all opposition ? But he chose to think—to decide for himself, and is consequently the martyr of his sense of integrity. So has it ever been—so will it ever continue to be—till the Ballot become the law of the land, and the Tories be deprived of the power of persecution. Till you pare the claws, and draw the teeth of these monsters, never will you have any thing like adequate security for good government. _ Ministers, whether Whig or Tory, may be honest by fits and starts, but the Ballot is the only way to keep them uniformly so. The case of oppression we have just quoted, and which we shall not lose sight of, is another grievance added to the hundreds already exposed, that calls trumpet-tongued for that only efficient remedy—the Ballot. After twelve days debate in the French Chamber of Deputies, the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne was finally adopted on Saturday evening by a majority of 13 votes on a division of 429 Members. The Ministerial amendment upon the last paragraph was only carried by a majority of nine votes—so that upon the whole of the divisions upon this Address Ministers have not averaged more than six votes of a clear majority, exclusive of their signal defeat on Wednesday last. M. THIERS did not suffer the debate to close without having another blow at the Cabinet. He enumerated its defeats to prove that it was not Parliamentary—that it was solely sustained by the KING ; and he retorted an attack directed by Count MoNTALIVET against M. GulzoT, by reminding that Minister, that when he held office under him (M. THIERS), he was as ardent a Spanish interventionist as he is now the contrary. The debate was brought to a close by Count MOLE, who, however, did not attempt to extend the shield of his rotection to M. MoNTALIVET. barely contended that the Cabinet was strictly Parlia mentary, and that if it had sustained various defeats during the last Session, and one in this, it was solely owing to an unnatural coalition against the Ministry. Count MOLE'S arguments frequently remind us of THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1839 those made use of by Lord ALTIIORP (Earl SPEN CER) when Chancellor of the Exchequer. There is an amusing simplicity in their very candour, provo cative only of smiles. Count MOLE'S argument on Saturday amounted to this :—He was defeated, not because his policy was bad, but because the majority differed from him in opinion, and so much so, as to unite all parties against him ! And yet he contended, in the face of this majority, that his Cabinet was strictly Parliamentary I The Opposition answered this argument by a laugh. They were right. It was worthy of no other. _ _ _ The apprehensions of a dearth in France are be coming fearfully prevalent. To add to the difficulties, a commercial crisis is supposed to threaten the monied interests. The vicinity of the city of Abbeville is in fested with wolves, to the (Treat loss and i mm i nent peril of th e husbandmen, whose t : flocks are destroyed, and persons endangered. The details of the landing . of the body o f th e D uc h ess of WU RTE MBERG at Toulon on the 14th, occupy a great portion of the Paris Journals of Sunday. Th ey are too theatrical to suit the taste, or to gratify the feelings, of an English public. As to the Cabinet question, it is still in abeyance ; but as the delay of a few days will put an end to all doubt, we shall not hazard any further conjecture upon the subject. Our advices from Lisbon are of the 14th inst. The Chamber of Deputies had appointed a Com mittee to draw up the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, of which Committee the majority are Liberals. In the Senate no business has been done owing to the non-attendance of the Members, who neither understand nor care about the troublesome business of legislation. We are happy to learn, that Ministers have signified their readiness to meet the pecuniary claims of the British officers who fought for the freedom of Portu gal—provided they can prevail upon the Cortes to vote the necessary supplies. It is time that justice should be done to the brave men by whose co-operation Donna MARIA was placed upon the throne of Portugal. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY,) THE CORPORATION OF GRAVESEND V. THE NEW PIER COMPANY. This case, which has been litigated for some years pant, came on this morning for argument, on a question whether the terms of a special case be submitted to the Court of Queen's Bench. The circumstances arc these :--Under the 9th George IV., the Corporation of Gravesend was entitled to erect a pier, and to charge certain tolls. Some few years ago another pier, called the " New Terrace Pier" was erected by a private Company, and the question which had ever since been dis puted between the Corporation and the Company was, whether the Act of George IV. empowered the Corporation to collect tolls at the new pier. The words of the Act were, " That the Corporation might receive tolls at a certain rate, from passengers landed an I embarked, from any place withi.► the village and parishes of Gravesend and 'Milton, or either of them." The Corporation had summoned the masters of several steurn-vessels, for the tolls alleged to be due, and refused to be paid to the Co, poration for landing and embarking pas sengers at the New Pier. The Magistrates convicted these masters, who thereupon appealed to the Quarter Ses sions ; and the appeal was dismissed. The Sessions at the same time granting a special case for the opinion of the Qeeen's Beach. The sessions went upon the ground that the Terrace Pier was extra-parochial, and, therefore not within the Act. In the special case was included a description of the locality of the new pier. Since that the Corporation had brought six fresh ac tions against mastersof Gravesend steam-vessels. The dispute now between the parties was, that whereas the Companywished to have the special ease framed, with that description of the loca lity, so as to try the question whether the new pier was or was not " within the parishes and villages of Milton and Graves end," the Corporation wished also to try the question, whe ther, if the parish and the village were not co-extensive, and the new pier were in the one, and not in the other, the Com pany would be liable. . This question was argued at great length by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Shea for the Company, and by Sergeants Wilde and Merewether for the Corporation. Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL, in the course of the argu ment, threw out, that as the point would certainly be raised at last whether the New Pier Company were liable if the new pier was only in the parish, or only in the village, it might be better first to try the law, assuming for that purpose the fact, which might afterwards be decided. Supposing the Court to deelde that to make the new pier liable it need riot be both in the village and in the parish, all the expense would be saved of trying the question whether the pier was in both the vil lage and the parish. The Counsel for the Company did not seem disposed to agree to this, and a long discussion ensued. Mr. Sergeant WILDE observed that on the part of the Cor poration he would assert to any terms, so that the question might be fairly tried, if the new pier was liable; if it was either in the parish or the village—if it was in neither, he could not, of course, contend that it was liable. The COURT at last proposed that the cause should at once go for trial, to raise every question of fact, the law to be de cided afterwards. The Company's Counsel would not agree to that; they sug gested a feigned issue, however, seeing the Court determined that a trial should take place. Sergeant WILDE agreed to that ; and the Court ultimately directed that the issue should be tried, vs hether the new pier was within the villages and parishes of Milton and Gravesend, or either of them—the Judge to have liberty to indorse special matter on the postea. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY.) IN RE THE COMMISSIONERS OF LAND TAX.-FENNING'S WHARF. Sir F. PoLLocx said, Eliza Fenning, the proprietress of the London Bridge Wharf had obtained a rule, calling upon the Commissioners for the Land-tax for London, and the Commissioners for the County of Surrey, to come into Court and show which of them were entitled to the land-tax fur her premises, as both claimed. He appeased on the part of the Commissioners for Southwark to apply for an issue to try whether the property in question was in the county of Surrey or formed part of the city of London. The property in ques tion, there was no doubt, formed part of the parish of St. ()lave, Southwark, which was in the county of Surrey. The city of London lad jurisdiction in Southwark, but that did not make Southwark any part o ithe City of London. Mr. Baron ALDERSoN.— What does it matter which party receives the money. There is only a certain sum imposed upon every county, and no more. Does the question settle any question of boundary ? Sir F. PoLLocx----.No, my Lord ; it is a question which stands quite alone. The only question is to what county the property was assessed in the year 1797. That could not be satisfactorily settled by affidavit, and an issue was the mode of ascertaining the fact directed by Act of Parliament. Sir W. FOLLETT appeared for the City of London, and said the question was whether the Court would send the case to a Jury. He bad such a strong case as would satisfy their Lordships. Mr. Baron PARKE—There must be an issue. A struggle ensued as to who should be plaintiff, but the Court ordered the City of London to begin, as they had a prima facie case, they having a right to go acroes the bridge. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND lORPORATION OF DERBY. Mr. KELLY moved for a mandamus, calling on the Mayor and Corporation to show cause why they should not execute a bond to Charles King for the payment of 371. los. a-year. Since the reign of Charles 11. it appears that the Corporation of Derby have had the appointment of head constable of the borough, which office was filled for thirty years previous to the passing of the Municipal Act by Mr. King, who having been dismissed by th e new C orporat ion, claimed compe nsat i on f or the loss of his office. On the refusal of the Corporation to award him comp ensat i on, h e appealed to the Lords of the Treasury, who decided that he was entitled to the sum above mentioned, and the mandamus now moved for was to carry that decision into effect. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE granted a rule nisi. ERRATUM.—In our Journal of last Wednesday, the name of the Carlisle Journal was substituted for that of the Carlisle Patriot. and we did the same independent Paper the inj ust i ce, unintentionally, the advocates o f t h e Corn-laws. *, of classing it amongst The Journal has always been a most determined opponent of those pernicious laws. , LEGEND AND R OMANCE , AFRICA N AND EUROPEAN, D L L taur. JOHNS R . m, —This work portrays the singular adventures which arose out of the intercourse be tween the shores of Europe and Africa. These, of course, involve many of the romantic circumstances, wherein the fiery Moor and the stately. Spaniard fi. n red ; displaying not only the jealousies, confli cts, l ofty rivalry, an d h ero i ca l d ee d s o f those rival nations, b ut the mannificent scenery o f t h e oppo site coasts, and the contrasted manners and religion of their respective inhabitants. These are noble and picturesque themes, and we are justified in adding, that in the work before us they are treated in a spirit worthy the old Spanish Chro niclers who bewitched the world with their tales of love and knightly deeds, and stirring mystery. Then, again, we have strange stories of th e l onely islands on the Western coast o f Africa, infested by pi rates, and trodden by the feet of hopeless captives ; while in o th er parts of that burning region the reader is made to witness, in all its horror, the operation of that iniquitous traffic, the slave trade. The principal story in the volumes details the fortunes and remarkable deeds of Sebastian, Kin.. of Portugal ; a romance differing greatly in character from Ring Porte r ' s fi ct i on u ndcr the same name. Camoens, the great p oet , is a prominent personage in the story, of which the incid ents are so strange and exciting, an d wherein the exhibition of character is so vigorous and drama tic, as to elevate into no mean rank the reputation of the writer. —Naval and Military Gazette.

His first work in five volumes, entitled u" History of the Colonies," was favour ably noticed, as it wall deserved to be, in this Journal ; " ColonhilL:hrary," in ten volumes, followed at monthly inter vats; and now, to crown the wlicle, we have the statistics of our colonial possessions in the West Indies, North and South America, Asia, Austral-Asia, Africa, and Europe, all com prised in one large voltlm:-, so admirably arrar,ged that the required infirm :vim', wilt regard to the statistics of aoy one colony, may be obtained io an instant.

Appended are their several charters ; and the whole possesses the invaluable recom mendation of being as authentic as the records of the Foreign-office could enable the judicious compiler to make them. The Colonial " Blue-books" were all submitted to Mr. Montgomery Martin by Lord Glenelg, and even an office appropriated to his use in Downing-street, that he might consult and copy them with the greatest possible convenience. This was certainly very generous on the part of the Colonial Secretary ; but something more substantial should be done for a writer who has rendered so essential a service to his country. In this age of fact-seeking, it is impossible to regard Mr. Montgomery Martin as other than a national benefactor.

SOCIETY OF BRITISi MUSiCIA:S This is the fourth season of th, ab .re S, ei, tc cvi i h c v:is established for the pm pose of fostering naive taient, hiu regard to composition and performance. It dos m,t a, pear, however, to have answered the intentious of its founders, praiseworthy as they were. We understand that some con siderable sacrifice has been made by the musicians engaged in order to continue the undertaking for the present season ; and judging from the appearance of the Hanover-square-rooms last night, the public have not responded to the call for the en couragement of indigenous talent to the extent of which the ob ject was worthy. The concert of last night was extremely good, although without a single composition cf foreign growth, or a single performer in the orchestra not a native of Great Britain. It opened with an excellent symphony in B flat, by M'Farren, and the second part commenced with Sterndalc Bennett's un rivalled overture to the ." Naiades," admirably played by the orchestra. In the course of the evening a concerto on the piano-forte was beautifully played by Miss Calkin, a very promising young lady indeed. - The singers were Miss Hain ' forth, Miss Dolby, Mr. Handel Gear, Mr. Purday, &c. Mr. Dando was the leader. The second concert takes place on Monday, Feb 4. 140NEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY (THIS TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET OF MONDAY. —The demand for Cotton to-day has been extensive. The sales reached 9,000 bags, chiefly Americans, the principal part of which have been taken by speculators at full prices, The arrivals this morning are French mails, ship letters from Rio Janeiro, Oporto, Monte Video, St. Kilt's, and Bahia. The New York packet, Westminster, has arrived, but she brings old dates, previously received. We have several arrivals of slAip letters this morning, but they are of old dates, consequently there is a very great dearth of intelligence in the City, and the various funds are in an inactive state. Consols opened at the leaving off prices of yesterday, 92 for Money, and 92 for the► Account. The accounts rece►ved from India yesterday had a slight effect on the British Market. The commercial advices by the overland despatches from India state that the trade in cctton piece goods, yarns, and woollen goods, were dull, at lower prices. The rates of ex change at Calcutta, after some fluctuation, remained fixed at Is. 1 I Id. to 2s. per Company's rupee, for bills on the Trea sury, at 30 days' sight ; fur private bills, at six months' sight, or ten months' date, 2s. to 2s. 21. The crop of Indigo was coming in freely, but it was not ex pected that much would be done until after the sale of 250 chests of Bengal. The demand for raw silk for home mar ket was active. There was little doing in opium, and the Money Market was heavy till the beginning of the month, when a change took place. The remittances brought out by the August and September overland m:iils amounted to 30 casks, the chief portion intended for operations to China, and for execution of French orders for Indigo. Advices have been received from Lima of the 12th October, but there is no news from that quarter so late as had been re ceived via Panama ; but it appears that the feelings of the Chilians had been greatly aroused against all foreigners, par ticularly the English, in consequence of the disapprobation so very generally expressed by them of their conduct towards Peru in conjunction with the Buenes Ay roans.

We have received a file of Montreal Papers by the West minster, but not of a latter date than the 20th December, from which we extract the following : " We see a rumour going the rounds of the press, and cr. roneously attributed to the Kingston Chronicle, that Van Schoultz had made a will, in which he had bequeathed some 4,0001. for sundry purposes. It is very improbable that this adventurer was posse.3sed of any such funds." We understand, from good authority, that Cardinal, Du grette, Thibert, and L cpailleur, four of the rebels, found guilty of high treason at the court-martial, are to be hanged on Tuesday morning next, in the gaol square. The Toronto Patriot contains the following :—" Three regiments of the Lire. another brigade of the Guards, a regiment of Rifles, a dismounted cavalry corps, artillery, and a rocket brigade, ate all to be at Halifax this winter, and are said to come over land here." _ The following is 2 copy of a letter from the Attorney- General, addressed by the Collectors and Acting Comptroller of her Majesty's Customs to the Chairman of the Board of Trade : " MONTREAL, DEC. 4. " Sir,—With reference to the letter of the Collector and Acting Comptroller of her Majesty's Customs, forwarded me from Messrs. Roger, Dean, and Co., requesting to be informed whether, during the suspension of specie payments by the banks, under the ordinance of her Majesty and Special Council, the notes of the same banks will be received by the collectors in payment of bonds for provincial duties, and intimating at the same time that in the event of that mode of payment not being acceded to, they intend to tender payment of a bond in notes of the hanks in question, and in the event of their being refused, they will abide the result of any action which may be instituted on said bond, I have now, by command of his Excellency, signified to me in your letter of this day, to state that in my opinion the payment of money into Court preceded by such tenders, would not operate any suspension of legal proeeedings as against the Crown, there being no provision in the said ordinance obligatory on the Crown in that respect.

On Wednesday, the 2d inst., a young man, named George Coggan, farming servant to Mr. Allender, of Idlc stop, incautiously put on a clean shirt in a damp state. The following morning the family observed a great alteration in his appearance, and he complained of weakness and general debility, which increased alarmingly until the following day, when he died.—Doncaster Gazette. On Saturday morning, about nine o'clock, whilst several workmen were engaged in placing a large iron bar on tle roof of a building which has been recently erected in Os mond-street, Whitechapel, for a soap manufactory, the rope by which it was slung broke, and the bar, weighing nearly nine hundred weight, fell. The cornice stones, which pro jected some di s t ance , gave way, and two men w ere precipi tated from a fearful height to the ground. One of them, James Macartney, had his skull fractured, and another, named Henry Willis, bad his arm broken in two places. Of three men who were at work underneath, on the scaffold (which was smashed to atoms by the bar and falling stones), two sus. tained con s id era bl e i njury; one h av i ng h a d his shoulderdis located, and a y out h, name d W e bb, was so much injured in the spine that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. CORN-LAWS. Extract of a letter from a Manchester manufacturer, read at a meeting at Aberdeen, on Monday, the 14th of Jan., inst. : " Twenty'years since, an agent from a respectable house in Hamburg called, and offered us an order for several kinds of goods, which we were manufacturing. We accepted the order of course, and I said, How do you pay ?' He replied, We pay in corn.' In corn l' I said, but the ports are shut, we can not enter a single bushel for home consumption.' He answered, We are war:: of that, but it can be bonded, and you can ship it to the Peninsula.' I said, have no.connexions there, and it will not do for us to become foreign corn-merchants, but, if you cannot pay in money, can you send us nothing else? can you send us linen yarn, which we could use ?" No,' he replied, our warehouses are full of corn, and we have no thing else to offer.' I then said, We are very sorry to refuse such an order at this time, for our weavers are not fully em ployed; but refuse it we must, for we can do nothing with corn • however, as we have gone s., far, would yo u he? pleased to tell us at what price you could charge it ?' He then pro duced his memorandum of goods wanted, and written instruc tions, and showed us that he was authorised to offer the best Baltic wheat, free at Hull, for 30s. 6d. per quarter. The average price in the English market, at this time, was 645. " l - hdd some doubts, before this, whether it would be pro per to allow a free trade in corn ; but the matter wbs here brought home; for we not only mi-sed a good order, but were preventrd from fiading our weavers with cork, and supplying them with good bread-corn at about half price. I mentioned the effects of the Corn-laws to Mr. P. Thom son, after his first election, cod the reply he made was, The matter rests with yJurselves ; if there were a sufficient number of petitions, praying for the repeal or alteration of the Corn. laws, they would have every att,,ntion paid them.' 4 : I remain yours, very respectfully, " WM.

LOVE'S EXCHANGE ; , A TALE. B Y C HARLES J. BOYLE, Ese.—" We have to add a new name to the list of successful novelists, though not a new name to successful literature ; for Mr. Boyle is, we believe, the brother of Miss Mary Boyle, of whose authorship we had last year occasion to speak so highly. It is not always that talent runs in the blood. In " Love's Exchange" there is much of reflection upon the world, or rather upon the feelings with which we begin, pass through, and finish life's eventful history. These all speak a refined mind—a mind that loves the pure and good, and hurries by the impure and worthless Then oar plot is an admirable plot,' and the secret so uncommonly w(11 kept that we should be more than usually reluctant to betray a scintilla of the knowledge we have acquired through two evenings' very pleasant reading. The prominent characters, such as Lady Helen Loftus, Basil Honneton, Bouchier (the weak and wavering hero), and others, are extremely well drawn ; and, altogether, our report must be mo,t favourable to a debut of so promising a kind, and so able a performance." —Literary Gazette.
