Ne. 9 E HALF MOON-STRET, PICCADILLY ; And 32, GREAT RUSSELL-STREET, BLOOMSBURY, MINERAL S,UCCED A NEUM FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH, LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, AND LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED. Monsieur MALLAN and SON, Surgeon Dentists, No. 9, Half Moon-street, Pictadilly, and 32, Great Russeil-s! reet, Bloomsbury, continue to restore DECAYED TEETH with their MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM (of which they are the Sole INVENTORS and POSSESSORS), without pain, heat, or pressure, and FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether .rising from age, neglect, disease of the Gum!s the use of Calomel, or any other cause. They have also discovered a NEW COMPOSITION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally impervious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found objectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. The Messrs. M. have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCOVERY, and they can fix the above without extracting the STUMPS, or causing any incumbrance, and even en GUMS of the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose. No WIRES or LIGATURES are used, and they MATCH he ORIGINAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUA RANTEED for MASTICATION and ARTICULATION. In consequence of their improvements in the mechanical department of Dentistry, they are enabled to reduce their charges to the follow ing scale:— A single Artificial Tooth A Set 5 5 0 A Set of Natural Teeth A Set of Mons. Mallan's Incorrodible Teeth, highly finished in the first style . . 211 I 0 Filling a Decayed Tooth with Mineral Succedaneum... 0 5 0 9, Half Moon-street, Piccadilly, and 32, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury. SIGHT AND HEARING. INVISIBLE Newly-invented operative VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS opticians and aurists to the Royal Family, 29, Albe marle-street, Piccadilly, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more percep tible titan having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is beard with distinctness. The same name of " Voice Conductor," quoted from the Messrs. Solomons by other persons, are large, and when worn are similer to having a large pair of horns projecting from the ears; besides which the serious inflammation they cause, and a buzzing noise in head. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly. invented SPECTACLE LENSES: immediately they are placed be fore weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle-light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with exact distinctness, by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMON'S have also made, after thirty years' practice and experience, a most important discovery, by a simple method, to remove dimness of sight and certain cases of cata racts, without operation, pain, or inconvenience.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Arrived for orders the brig Science, Rowlands, with coffee and passengers from the Cape of Good Hope in 59 days. Two men, one woman, and one child came home in her, who, with 73 others, were wrecked in the Dunlop, in Table Bay, on the 24th of November last. Arrived, and came into harbour to discharge, the American bark Ledu, Ciiptain Bochner, from i t ';_s port to New York, with hides, elscharged here f rom t ;,: Brazil packet ; she sailed on the . iCl.th inst., and bad been :.la but two days, when sh: sprung a leak, i which'eontinued n 6:easing, till in crossing the Bay of Biscay she made so much water that they were obliged to bear up and run back. They saw the Dutch East Indiaman Jacob Cats (also from this port), off Ushant, on Thursday last. The Harmony, which was on shore near Brook, was got off last night, and towed into this harbour to-day. The barges sent round on Sunday, to endeavour to save the cargo, on account of the swell, could not succeed in that object ; and the wind having moderated, and come more off the land, no time waslost in throwing as much as possible of the cargo overboard, (About 70 tons were thus discharged.) She had washed over the Flat ners in on the sandy beach, and an attempt was made to heave her off when lightened, which failed, the anchors sent round not being heavy enough. Another vessel took others round on Monday night, with which, and 300 fathoms of cable, she was got afloat. Every assis tance was rendered by Captain Sims and the Coast Guard. indeed, had not the wind shifted, nothing could have saved her ; and Captain Abbot, who had charge of her, is highly praised for his promptness, and the (gnat exertions he mad to get her afloat..

There is no mistaking Viscount Vauxhall, Lord Vanelay, the HonourableColonel L. Hopetoun, or Lord Walgrave ; the originals may be seen any day "in the west." We also could point out the true Mrs. Maxwell. But to pass by these sketches of liv ing characters, the others are most ably drawn. Robinson, the rascally lawyer; Jeffries, his knowing clerk; and Hop wood, the tuft-hunting retired goldsmith, are admirable. Horace Vernon himself is delineated with considerable skill, and the various fearful scenes to which his headstrong passions lead him, arc most powerfully written, The story altogether is good, and the lessons inculcated are evolved with an ability which has known how to clothe them with grea t interest, We mutt not omit mentioning that scenes of the highest humour relieve the more serious portions of the tale; that where . Saiggles and Grayling dine with Hopwood is irresistible. ---Age.

TUESDAY, JAN. B.—A petition from the Rave Fran , cis Forbes and other Presbyterian clergymen in Ber bice was brought up. A rum of money had been voted by the Combined -Court for schools in the rural parishes ; they (the petitioners): had received no part of this.—The Governor : A similar application was made by the Church of England ; I think this was the order on the petition of the Church of • England, that, they should state some of the schools that were in existence, Has iotlaecvialsrner The e seilet 1 i thou ; e they established.—The eme ‘ arm Y biccv rtiehaoti requiredasnhseeem.:daciappointed.committee.—Cap tain tnde err requireia. i , w t i 1 h edi el Go vernment D r . bto e roe. - . 1 e tSgea e nrtiargnattWi cautious how I made my report after what has—C shoul done-- curred.—(A laugh,) After some further business, The Government Secretary called the attention of the Court to the item which was on the estimate, for " salary to a Colonial Agent." He believed that the' creation of such an office by a vote of . the Court was quite irregular ; a correspondence with.the Home Go vernment, upon this subject had taken' place, and in reference particularly to the gentlemen who now held the post ; the Crown, or an Act ofethe Legislature could . Ro l i ie r rd i A o em o s N ote l ao l e fet a : create an office, but the creation elan officeeby a mere resolution of the Court we nowilegular ; Savas what was not permitted even -in the oilier Colonies possssed of more Legislative power than British Guiana. He (the Government Secretary).woold request the Governor to order the correspondence to be laid on the table of the Court, in order that Members might see the impossibility of permitting the office to exist, unless it were established on . right principles, and. bore refe rence to the entire Court, and not one prtienlar portion of it : the term " Colonial," comprehended, of course, all the Colonial interests, and if so, he (the Go vernment Secretary) certainly denied that the represen tation of all the Colonial interests was vested in any one Section, either of the Court of Policy, or of the Com bined Court ; and he should conclude with a motion that the item should be struck out, but in order that the Court might be aware of the grounds on which he spoke,e he would request the production of the correspondence. —Dr.M4Turk : What correspondence do you allude to ?* —Tile Government Secretary : The correspondence be tween the Secretary of' State and the Governor.—Cap tain Warren : May I ask your Excellency one question? Whether the estimate went home to her Majesty's Government and was approved of ?—The Governor : Certainly . .—Captain Warren : the item appears, and the Despatch approving of it has been already ac t e d on. The Government Secretary : That may be a motive for the Court to reject my motion, but it is competent for me to make a motion.—The Chief Justice : Mr. Young does not Propose to take it off last year's estimate, but next year's.—Mr. Roie: It has already passed, and, -there fore, can't be expunged, and it is on our records that it has - been the practice for twenty years ; the Agent was appointed by resolution over and over.—The Governor : It is right we should hear what Mr. Young says.— Captain Warren : As far as I recollect some part of , that correspondence, Lord Glenelg said he would be ' -very happy to receive Mr. Holmes, but illr. Holmes had no right to come officially, and claim an audience.. —The Chief Justice : In Grenada they are appointed by ordinance, for every Agent there is a new ordi nance.—The Government Secretary : There is an ordinance here, which has been read a first and second time, but has not been disposed of.--Mr. Rose : The item was on the estimate when that Ordinance was brought forward. The Government Secretary, who had received a small key from the Governor, and left the room, re turned with a voluminous file of documents, which he proceeded to read. The first was a despatch from Lord 1 Glenelg to Governor Smith. He (his Lordship) en tertained very serious doubts as to the possibility' of recognizing Mr. Holmes in his capacity of Colonial Agent ; unless these doubts were cleared in a satis. factory manner, he must be under the disagreeable necessity of declining to do so ; the creation of such an office had not been within the scope of Sir Lionel Smith I and the Combined Court, or the C our t o f P o li c y. Th e question should have been raised by a Bill in the, ordinary manner. - In the islands such offices were 1 created by Acts of Assembly, but there appeared 1 to be no possibility of engrafting such an ordinance on the Constitution of British Guiana; to any 1 representations made by the inhabitants, or any portion of them, whether through the Governors- •or through any person selected by them for the purpose, respectful attention would bo paid ; but there wcre i serious objections to giving sanction to such an officer as an agent for the Colony collectively, and lotting him I enjoy the -authority consequent thereon—it would in volve a very injurious fallacy ; before, therefore, any one could be entrusted with the name and powers of 1 Colonial Agent," the meaning of those terms must be fixed with a degree of precision not hitherto attained. The next document was a ennui-Juni. I cation from the Under Secretary of State to 1 Mr. Holmes himself. His Lordship having been notified of the appointment of Mr. Holmes to the 1 post of Colonial Agent for British Guiana, directed that 1 gentleman's attention to be called to certain difficulties 1 in which the queition was involved. What did the 1 term " Agent for the Colony" mean? Who were the I constituents of the gentleman ? Not the entire popula tion, because the largest portion were excluded from all political rights, while there was but a small part of the 1 remainder who enjoyed an elective franchise ; therefore 1 the constituents of the Agent. were the elected or clerical—(A laugh)—members of the Court of I Policy ; but in strict propriety these gentlemen could I have no legal or constitutional existence as a body dis tinct from the Court, of which they formed a part ; therefore Lord Glenelg could not acknowledge their title to act, or to be represented, separately from the 1 Members holding office ; in another capacity (we did not hear this part of the communication with complete t distinctness) there were gentlemen already acting, with whom no fault was found ; but it the agent was to be the representative of the whole Court of Policy, how could the Governor, and other official members of that Court, become the avowed and confidential correspondents of another than the Secretary of State? This objection did not apply - to Legislative Councils and Assemblies, of which the Governor was not a -member, those bodies corresponded with the Agent—the Governor, who was quite independent of them, with the Secretary of State. If it were that the combined Court was the body which the Agent repre sented, the preceding objections were not entirely ob viated, while a much graver difficulty arose- The com bined Court met only at distant intervals, for the single purpose of providing for the estimate ; with the general political interests of the Colony it was not interested, and on these it could not main tain any correspondence without encroaching . upon the privileges of the Court of Policy. In the other Colonies the office was created by ordinance, the neglect of which was an irregularity, not in form, but in substance: every subject who petitioned the Sovereign, had a right to the patient consideration of the Officers of the Crown, but that was a very dif ferent thing from the recognition of a Colonial Agent. As the Agent of any number of individuals who might depute Mr, Holmes to act for them, Lord Glenelg would be happy to receive that gentleman and to act with him, but for the reasons which were now frankly laid before him, his Lordship felt a difficulty in recognising him in the capacity vested in him by the elective or clerical section ; recog nised in any public aGnelevoeffirncmiaelncthasreaecrteertaoryf tandadtenda,tufiriej, Mr. Holmes could not be, except at the expense of some results of a very f a or e .u e frot t ir, o i o s tai t hni a leal t e e si t t ; 1 :1 aa thirdtr allotlhfee,ar principle involving man y years ; Mr. Beete was another, havingc'seriouson Arent sti tu b bk cie:n constitutional a t ' struck u e c a The i d e out until the duties of the office are A, te e G li o u r e do t n e defined.—The Chief Justice : I second the motion. all these acted may not b e th e same century.— say the Court has not the power, after the r principle has I see no reason why this should be the Tax Ordinance anda—bey acted ‘er.

The Governor having written a memorandum, and submitted it to the Attorney- General, read nearly as follows :—The late Act-Gover nor was fully aware of the responsibility which he in curred in passing this item, and, no objection having becti made itemo the on the estimate by the Secre tary of State, I Shall - not resist the insertion of Mr. Holme's s;dary.--Mr. Macrae said, Mr. Holmes has been already recognized.—The Government Secretary : In consequence of what has fallen from his Excel lency the Governor, I shall not press my motion to a division, but merely record it on the minutes, and re serve my right to enter my reasons for making it. The motion for the expunging of the item was, en the sum gestien of the Chief Justice, entered as " negatived without a diction." WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9. The Government Secretary read his promised grounds of dissent from the insertion of the item for the Colonial agent : - I dissent from tl:e sense of the Court, in resl•eet to -the provi,i,m rtim!e on the estimate for William Holmes, Eul. _ _ Ist.—Becange the duties of the office are undefined, and the performance of them, rendered irrespective of any competent authority ; its transactions known only to a section of the Lc,;:s!ature, and to a section of:the Combined Cciirt, and the title of the office is an incor rect description of the representative_ characte r conferred upon Mr. Holmes. 2d.— Because the expense of the office should be borne solely by that portion of the community whose interests arc represented by Mr. Holmes, and not by the public at large. ad.—Because unnecessary inconvenience and em barrassment will i)e occasioned to the local Government, executive and legislative, should the example of nomi nating paid agents lit England be imitated by each of the various classes of the inhabitants of British Guiana. 4th...—llecauAe it is the creation of an office by an irregular mod., a n encroac h men t on th e prerogat i ve o f the Sovercign ; an usurpation on the authority of the Legislature, and is, in my opinion, in open disregard of the pleasure of the Sovereign, as implied in the de spatches on the table of the Court, addressed to the late Governor by the • present Right Honourable Secretary of State. EDITOMAL COMMENTS. Th.; recent discussions in the Court of Policy, in reference to the office of " Colonial Agent," are re ported in another part of this Evening's Paper. A strong case, illustrative of one of the positions laid down by the Colonial Secretary of State, occurs to us. A pe tition, praying for' the abolition of the College of Elect ors. was sent home the other day. If Mr. Holmes sup ported this application in Downing-street, he did what in him lay towards abridging the political existence of his present constituents, the elective section of the Itonourable Court ; if he oppoied it, he thwarted the wislics of many planters, merchants, and professional men, out of whose pockets came a portion of the salary set apart for his use. If he was totally silent upon the subject, he gave a proof that for the transaction of very important business the services of an agent in England are not aiway necessary. GREAT LEINSTER and MUN RAILWAY COMPANY. The General Half Yearly Meeting of this Company took place on Saturday, at their offices, Meorgate-str. et. Mr. BAINDIUDGE in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, in consequence of the proposition which had been unexpectedly brought forwtu•d by the Government, with regard to Irish Railways, the Report, which was in an unfinished state, would merely recom mend the adjournment of the Meeting, in order that a conference might be held with the Government, and their ultimate intentions ascertained. • 'File SECRETARY then read the Report, which stated, that the Engineers of the Company had been directed to consider and to report upon, the nature of the line pro posed by the Irish Railway Commissioners in respect to this Railway. On the 27th August, a memorial had been addressed to the Government to click their opi nions on the subject. No answer had been received to that application up to the 13th Nov., when the Secretary again wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, repre senting the ease of the Company in the following terms : " If the line proposed had been shown inconsistent with the great object of internal communication recom mended by the Commissioners, or did not possess in in itself the prospect of a speedy return, the Directors ! would not appeal to the Government. But the Corn- pany feel th a t th e y-h a ve now a just right to look to Government for protection in their undertaking ?" To that letter the Chancellor of the Exchequer answered that he thought the - intentions of the Government could only be properly stated and explained in the House of, Commons. From that time till Lord Morpeth brought his measure Inward the other night, the Directors had received no intimation of the intentions of the Ministry on the subject. Being thus taken by surprise, the Di rectors recommended the Proprietors to adjourn their meeting till communication could be had with the Go vernm cnt. From a statement of the accounts it appeared that, up to the Ist January the expenditure had been 19,1001. 2s. 11d., and the balance on the original deposit. 9671. 13s. 11d., which had been reduced by the current expen diture of the year up to the present time, to 5431. 18s. The Secretary then read the Reports of the Engi neers, from which it would seem that the two great pro jects of railways from the Dublin to Kilkenny, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, &c., the one plan, adopted by the Company, the other by the Commissioners in their Re port, were essentially different in design. The Com pany, indeed, agree with the Commissioners in one respect, ❑amely, that the Metropolis be at some future time connected by railway with the four chief cities in the smith, but disagree as to the times and modes of working out that desirable end ; they differ, also, as to the priority in value of some of the leading towns next in importance te.those cities. The design of the Great Leinster and Munster Com pany was to select at first, a small portion of this great undertaking, which gradually, according as the resources of the country became developed, might be extended, securing to themselves, however, that portion which at first showed the greatest return or profits ; end leaving it optional with others to speculate as to the re nminder. in so doing, the Company but followed the ordinary mode of-enterprize, as every day exhibited in the sister and other commercial countries. The design of the Railway Commissioners was to lay down a great and universal system of railways, which, whenever executed, should be capable of conferring the greatest amount of railway benefit upon the nation at large, (as far as their judgment and foresight could direct them) not leaving anything to the option of any body of speculators. _ . The Commissioners, it appeared, disapproved of a line to Kilkenny as a main trunk to the south and west of Ireland, thinking that the main trunk in that direc tion would better run by Maryborough, further west. The Maryborough line, the engineers say, would no dess2rily exclude A.thy, Carlow, and Wexford ; that is, leave them to be provided for on separate lines. To the main trunk to Kilkenny the Commissioners first declaring that the line has been laid out with great judgment, and that its gradients are very favourabi--) make only two objections (page 39)---" Ist. That as a line to Cork it is four miles, longer to Caller (a com mon point) than that by Maryborough. 2d. That the communication from Limerick to Dublin, by any con nexion with it, except by a branch line diverging at a short distance from Dublin, is quite out of the ques tion." To the first of these objections the engineers say, that the Company's line to Caher is only one mile and fifty-four chains longer, even by measurement upon the Commissioners' Maps, added to which, the country lying between Kilkenny and Caher, as surveyed in .1836 by order of your Company, presents a cheap and beautiful line without any engineering difficulty what ever, and without any gradient steeper than 1 in 500. With regard to the second objection they say, that the Company's main trunk admits of an extension to Limerick from l3allysax at the Curragh of KPd.are et 29 • miles• from Dublin, an extension presenting extremely fine levels, the greatest steep being only 1 in 409, and missing by the usual passengers' route through Roscrea and Nenagh, as already existing. In respect to the returns to be expected from the Company's line the Commissioners themselves allowed for passengers lid. per mile, and 2d. a ton for merchandize which they state thus : Alloy: for Passengers daily revenue, at ltd, per mile per pazy.nger .. . £333 8 11 Merehandize at 2d. per ten per mile l2l 12 0 Daily receipt., 0 11 Showing a dividend of 5/. 18s. per cent. If, however, the charge for passengers and inert:llA dise be at the ordinary prices, as laid dosi4.io the Company's Act of Parliament, ;lee‘on 136—namely, for passengers at for merchandiie, Bd. to 4d.; the. re- Stilt will then give 1 . 45. per.cent., taking tl 4 ;...i.6;4_ of • • construction at 10,0001. per mile. The Commissioners stated,." they are fully alive to the importance of a direct line of communication through the rich and populous valley of the Barrow, which contains the towns of Athy, Carlow, Bagenals town, and Leighlinbridge, and which would greatly fa cilitate the intercourse between the City of Dublin and the south-eastern portion of the county of Wexford, in cluding the towns of Wexford, Enniscorthy, and Ross ; the present post-road from Dublin to Enniscorthy and Wexford passes through the town of Tullow, situated but eight miles to the cast of Carlow ; consequently, all passengers could without difficulty join the railway at Carlow ; and by these means reach Dublin two hours sooner than by the present road, and at a much cheaper rate ; the passengers from Ross, by joining the railway at Leighlinbridg,e, would save upwards of four hours, making the journey in eight instead of twelve hours. Under these circumstances, though we consider the Kilkenny Line highly objectionable as the main trunk to ;he south and west of Ireland, and also as a distinct ' Line from Dublin to Kilkenny, we think that it might be desirable to connect it as a branch with the main southern Line recommended by us, at some point in the neighbourhood of the town of Kildare. Should this plan be finally adopted, a change might be made in our main Line between Sallins and Mary borough, so as to pass a little to the northward of the town of Kildare, from whence the county is favourable for the construc tion of a Railwv..y to or near the town of Athy, where it would join the Kilkenny Line as at present laid out." The Engineers concurred, in giving their opinion, after mature comideration, that the Commissioners' Report cOnlirimrqtre accuracy of the statcments.put forth by the Company, and that the Great Leinster and Munster Railway Line, to Kilket.ny, for which the Act. of Parliament has been obtained, is the best line in Ireland for a prcfitable investment. A PROPRIETOR moved that the report be received, end adopted, and printed for the purpose of distribution among the Subscribers. Colonel RaCIIFORD thought the fir it thing they were zo consider was, what steps should be taken in the present position of their affairs. Whether they should make a stand against the proceedings which it appeared the Government had determined upon, or endeavour to rr.lke terms tvith them so as to receive some compensa tion for the money that bad been expended in the un dertaking. - A PIIOPRIETOR asked whether any corresponden had taken token with the Government. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. They knew nothing of Lord Morpeth's plan until it had been brought forwArd the previous night. Althoug:i the Go vernment had refused to give any information as to what its intentions were. Mr. MAHER, M. P. would state, that within the last. ten days be had waited upon Lord Morpeth, • and pointed out the inconvenience to which they %vere sub jected in beiog, obliged to suspend the works from not haying received any intimation as to the course which Government meant to. pursue. He could, however, obtain * no information from his Lordship, on the ground that the Government had not made up their minds as to what their intentions were. The Directors, however, had felt themsekes warranted in holding together, and it was now in contemplation to obtain an interview with Government ler the purpose of ascertaining whether they could obtain an indemnity for the surveys and other expenses they had been put to. The Directors were prepared, if a competing, line bud been proposed by any other Company, to enter the field with them oa the merits of their respective lines, even if Government had preferred its assistance to that rival Company ; but they were not pr pared to compete with the Government, having two millions and a half of money at its command, to ha laid out in furtherance of the Re port of the Commissioners. It appeared to him that not a moment should be lost in ascertaining if any indemnity could be obtained from the Government. In answer to a question from a Proprietor, Mr. MAlnin stated that the line proposed by Go vernment ran parallel to their's for t.venty-five miles, and for.nearly twenty miles it was the same line. A Pr.opatuToil did not think that any Govmment uouhl take so mean and unfair an advantage, after having granted them an Act of Parliament, as to adopt their line without affording them sorne'Compensation. Another Gentleman observed that it should be re presented to the Government that they h ul expended, upon the frith of a leirislative enactruent,• a sum of 20,000/., and it was imptissU.A. to 1J,11(.! VC that any Go , vernment would perpetrate the injustice of depriving them of their Act of Parliament, and refusing them compensation. As to opposing them, it would be sheer folly to oppose their weakness to tho strength of the Government. Mr. Smyrn was in the House the previous night, daring the debate, and he feared, from its tone and tem per, that their chance of compensation was very small indeed. The most extr,:ordinary statements were made by Lord Morpetb, but if the House was determined to support hire in them, it would not be in the power of the Directors of that Company to resist him. It was the people of England who must decide the question. So monstrous an interference on the part. of the Go vernment with private enterprize and speculation was never heard of. If the two•and-a-half millions was granted them could not stop there. There must be further grants and other lines laid dowry, and then the people of Scotland and England Iconld demand to be placed on the same footing. Lord Mor peth bad recommended his proposition to the House, by saying that the Government of Belgium had taken the construction of Lailways into its own hands. He bad the fullest confidence in the zeal and ability of the Directors, but be feared they could not do much—it was the Shareholders, through their representations, who must exert themselves, so as to place their case in a proper light before the Government and the public. After a good deal of desultofy conversation, it was finally agreed that the Directors should put themselves in immediate communication with the Government, and that the meeting should adjourn till the 23d inst., when the result of their arrangements with the Government would be communicated to the Proprietors. The meeting then separated. ANTI-CORN-LAW DELEGATION. Among the returns to the queries issued by the Evi dence Committee is a very important one from Mr. R. Sanderson, of Glasgow, containing details of what is going on to the north and east of the Baltic through the opera tion of our Corn, laws. Mr. S. states from personal ob servation that these laws have stirred up a spirit in Conti nental nations to rival us in manufactures, that will not be put down. He makes mention of a large establishment —an investment of English capital—foe cotton, flax, &c., at Gattenburgh ; and c f a smaller one in its vicinity, for which be had recently been requested to provide a mans. ger. He mentions. an instance which came under his own observation, of seven operative engineers bring sent out of this country, four years ago, to put up a cotton mill at Carlshaven. When that job was completed, several of them were engaged to prOeek!ii to Copenhagen fur a similar purpose, and one entered into the service of a Joint Stoch Company, at the north end of Lake Witten, for the making of machines. There is a large Government establishment at Metulla, under the management of Mr. Frazer, a Scotebnian, at which the machinery of some of the Baltic stcarn-boats has been made. Mr. Sanderson saw, lately, in the shop of a not very extensive machine-maker in Manchester, a dozen of cases of turning,- lathes for making machinery, intended for the .Continent. Ile mentions a young man who was taking out from the same place no less than four planing machines to . 'isetien. This same individual wrote not lord ago to his father is Seeder, to take out a patent for one of our most iecently invented machines; he was answered that another had already secured the patent. Equal progress is making in the Russian dominions. There are prosperous cotton manufactories at Abo, in Finland; and many machines have recently been exported from Mancheaer to Moscow, which promises to become the Manchester of Russia. In short we had the lead, bet other, even most unfavourably circumstanced coun tries, are rapidly making up to us. The only way to preserve our stand is abolishing tho Corn-laws, and tilts.; raising Continental wages to tho level of this csuLtry. Mr. Sanderson is of opinion that were our Corn and Timber-laws abolished, we might yet regain car vanishing trade to the Baltic ; but lie admits that Mr. Finlayson, manager of a cotton mill at Abe, is of opinion " that the mischief is already donee—that wo arc too late to open our po:ts to foreign grain." A very important part of Mr. Sanderson',: communication is the fellowing : " To show how the high price of corn operates indireot/y, I suggested to a house in Copen. hagen that our Clyde Newfoundland houses could do business with them and beef.
