TIMES.---An important c45. - rrespondence has taken place .between the Committ4 of Spanish American bondholders and Messrs. Lizar4i and C. 0., the Mexican agents. The Committee protest - Against Messrs. Lizardi retaining the sum of 11,339/. ss. 11d., out of the money remitted for dividends, as commission due to them from the Mexican Government, contending, that, according to the agreement of September, 1537, they were authorised to appropriate it to dividends alone. They, therefore, request to know whether it is Messrs. Lizlrdi's intention to restore the sum to the dividend account ; and put another question, of no less imp or t ance , as ki ng w h a t re mittances have come to hind .since the payment of the half-dividend on the October coupon, and whether Messrs. Lizardi are prepared to complete the payment of the coupon at once. To this , application, which is dated Dee. 25, they have received thefollewing reply : " `26, Austin-friars, Dec. 30, 1843. - 6 , Sir,--We have received your letter of the ?Silt inst., and are unable to reply to the questions therein contained until we receive further in!lrination from Mexico, espe cially as regards the distribution of the funds in, hand, and such as we may receive henceforward, fir account of the -Mexican Government, as to whether the- said funds shall be appropriated to the payment of the remaining halt of the d.vidend for October, 1843, or that for April, 1844.

AT a MEETING held at LONDON HOUSE, on Saturday, December 2, 1843, it was resolved to form a n ASSOCIATION for PROMOTING the RELIEF of DESTITUTION, and for IMPROVING the CONDITION of the POOR in the METROPOLIS, by MEANS of PA ROCHIAL and DISTRICT VISITING : and after several intermediate meetings, it was resolved, on Saturday, De cember 16, to adopt and circulate the following Address and Regulations : The object which this Association has in viewi s, not merely to administer immediate relief in cases of extreme destitution, or of presing want, but to improve the social, moral, and re ligions condition of the poor, by means which have been tried, on a limited scale, in certain districts, and which have been ue cessful in proportion to the completeness of the system L w . hi c l2 has been put i nto operation , and the care with which it Fs been worked. It is o b v i ous that to dispense pecuniary re lief in discriininately, and with reference solely to the apparent or actual necessity of the case, without inquiry as to the past, yr provision for th a t future, is, to say the least of it, but a half goessure of charity, and has a tendency to generate or increase the very evils which it seeks to cure. An inquiry into the %es of distress, and into the best means of preventing its recurrence, by infusing into those who labour under it sound Principles of action, and forming them to habits of economy, iiiladtbitrY, and foresight, is obviously necessary, to ensure to the uions of benevolence their proper results. Mere liberality almsgiving, unaccompanied by an endeavour to remove the causes of that destitution which calls it forth, will not answer the_requirements of Christian charity. ~n . F his view of the subject plainly implies the necessity of corn- W ei ing religious and moral instruction with the relief of bodily thaen T o rus of making the latter, as it were, a preparative for of thr. id, therefore, although the primary design the eAssociation is, to furnish the means of administering sire necessity of tho poor, after due inquiry into the circumstances of each particular case, its ultimate object is, to aid in rem oving the moral causes wh i ch create or aggravate want; to e ncourage p ru d ence, industry, an d c l ean li ness, as ?arts of Christian duty, and to promote kindly feelings be tby ween those classes of society which are kept so far "tender the diff erence of their worldl conditions. And this may Deeffected, it i s h o ped , by aj udicious distribution of the funds e ntrusted to this Association, through which individual bounty ma y be appli e d to the relief of distress without fear of misdi rection or waste. A few only of those charitable persons, who are at all times ready to give of their worldly substance to the !ncli and needy, h ave either leisure to make personal inquiry ant? each case which presents itself, or those habits of investi cgationi which ar e requ i red for the detection of imposture. Dis e t Visiting Societies, when conducted on right principles, Pen a safe and rea d y channel for the distribution of pri vate alms. ...T s he description now given of the objects contemplated by Association clearly marks out the propriety, or rather the necessity, of attempting their attainment through the agency of the parochial clergy. They are, in virtue their ce, al moners, as well as instructors, of the p eo pl e ; of o nor can it ffi be doubted, that the evils under which the poorest classes labour in our crowded cities and towns, have been greatly aggravated by the inadequacy of our parochial system, with its existing latiiz ystem ac on hinery, to mee t t h e wants of an overwhelming popu !s . Two things are necessary, in order to replace the social in a healthy state ; a more direct and friendly intercourse between the different classes of society, and the general incul ccaiteironyof Chri s ti an pr i nciples. In both cases the agency of the By is indispensable, and will be, under the Divine blessing, effectual to these ends, if means are supOied for carrying on the work, which is now so immeasurably beyond their strength and resources. An Association, which aims at the attainment of thi s o bj ect, may surely assert its claim upon the charity of those who m P rovidence has entrusted with the means of doing Pod, and who are bound to use them for the glory of God, in promoting the temporal and eternal welfare of their fellow atures.

The year has cles'd, with all its changeful scenes— And, lo! another era intervenes; The year has clos'd upon a busy world, And a fresh page of life has time unfurl'd. The chiming bells, with intermingling hum, Proclaim aloud—" Another year is come 1" The year is clos'd, and we embrace the time To greet the public with a votive rhyme. For while with exultation we review " The Past, the Present, and the Future," too, We feel a debt of gratitude is ow'd For valued favours plenteously bestow'd. Unbounded patronage has crown'd our trade, And warmest thanks will be best duly paid. Oft on his road the trav'ler glances back, To mark his progress o'er the beaten track : Thus we examine with observant eye The advances of another year gone by ; And glad we find, on looking at the past, Our glorious hopes have not been overcast: When last we hail'd the dawn of " New Year's Day," We talk'd of patronage in bright display. And have we now to tell of favours less ? No I—still we triumph in increas'd success ; Success in all our trading plans is found, And like a halo does our name surround. Success attends us through the distant land, Nor here alone—but where the seas expand. Success in east and West, and north and south, Is loudly sounded with a trumpet's mouth. Success abundant we have seen appear Each day, each week, each month throughout the year; Favours in seasons " past" our efforts bless, And the bright " present" yields success 1 success! Think not we use exaggerated terms— Fact, glorious fact, their utmost truth confirms. Language less strong could ne'er suffiee to show The vast success that crowns our fam'd depot. Nay, strong as are our statements, we confess They are not equal to our proud success; And hence we have a duty to discharge— A duty called for by the world at large ; Nor would we fir an instant be remiss In executing such a task as this. With warm acknowledgements at once we thank All gen'rous patrons (whatsoe'er their rank). Thanks, many thanks ! warm, hearty, and sincere, For mighty favours in the by-gone year, For patronage by which we are display'd Upon the topmost pinnacle of trade ! Thanks for the spreading fame which thousands sing, And all that the returning seasons bring ! Nor will we make return in thanks alone, For patronage so liberally shown. When last we heard the New Year's bells resound, We promised much—nor have we left our ground; Each season new exertions have reveal'd To merit what a lib'ral public yield. Again we promise, as we promis'd then, Nor shall our practice contradict our pen, Though mighty efforts signalised the "past" The " present" year shall far excel the last, And " future" seasons to the world shall show Our gratitude for what your hands bestow. Mark what we promise ! We have much in store, And offer to the puhlic more and more. Betwixt ourselves and patrons there shall be A mutual zeal—an equal rivalry ! Reductions and improvements shall be seen, Far more extensive than have ever been; Nought shall be left—no stone shall be unturn'd, Wherein the public good may he concerned. Our celebrated Mart shall still display The choicest fashions for the rich and gay ; While such as move in less important scenes Shall find good clothing suited to their means. In ev'ry point our honse shall be display'd The most astounding mart throughout the trade. Can we do more than this, our thanks to show, Or give a greater compensation ? No. Till this be done, we ne'er shall be at rest ; But when we've done it, shall have done our best— And with renewed exertion, such as this, A smiling public will not be remiss. We feel assured, that if we try to please Our gen'rous patrons with such acts as these, That proud success will crown us more than ever, And happily reward for each endeavour; And still with exultation we shall view The " past," the " present," and the " future," too ! And now we close with many a wish sincere, That all may realise " a happy year." " A happy year" may ev'ry reader see— Where'er his home—whete'er his lot may be ! " A happy year" alike the young and old ! And when another changeful year has roll'd, Once more with pleasure we'll resume our pen, And make our annual settlement again. E.

I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away with a violent pain in my head; at last my friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am now happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful.

FROM TIIE .DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Spectator ventures a kind of semi apology for Major Wilde, to whose extraordinary maladministration of the revenue-laws in the Carl isle coachman's case, we recently drew attention. Our generally shrewd Contemporary, after giving a summary of the facts, observes— " Bad as th!s case is, it seems to be one of pure bungling ; for there is no trace of malice or wilful op • pression on the part of the Major—who may yet, per haps, suffer for his jocund rough-and-ready style of administering law. It we say, very easy to ridicule and condemn these blunders ; but magistrates are not lawyers, and to err is not only human but especially natural in their case ; and prevention would be better than ridicule. It may be asked, why not abolish the unpaid magistracy ? It would be difficult, however, to find in any other class so available a staff of local jus tices—a set of men who are upon the whole intelligent, sensible, independent, humanely disposed because in easy circumstances, not needing pay, and combining in a porta ble shape a kind of judge and jury for preliminary, sum mary, and trifling proceedings. Much may be said against such a magistracy, but much more also for it than people always choose to remember. Moreover, it exists, and is likely to exist." Small comfort this to the sufferers from the "pure bungling" of.those Magistrates who "are not lawyers." To the . poor man who is subjected to ignominy, and the numerous personal and relative injuries involved in an illegal and unjust commitment to a felon's gaol, it is of little moment that the Magistrate, by whose warrant he is sent thither, had the best possible intentions ; " no trace of malice or wilful oppression" being manifest in his acts. The laws them selves lose that respect and veneration which constitutes their best security for being obeyed. When it is seen that, instead of being the pro tector of the subject, they are rendered the in: struments of wrong-doing by the ignorance, if not by the direct intention, of the Magistrate to whom the Government entrusts their administration, the majesty of justice is degraded in her own Courts. The people, divested of confidence in the law, feel that its restraints upon their conduct are loosened, and its requirements are deprived of their sanctions. " Judges and Home Secretaries" do unfortunately " treat the errors of the Great Unpaid with a leniency that probably tends to remove some degree of check upon error. Instead of looking at the act—(and as the law does in most cases of personal injury) holding that ignorance of what a Magistrate is bound to know is no valid defence, much less a justification—the Judges surround the Magistrate with protection so ample and complete, that redress for injuries committed by a justice of the peace in the - performance of his office, except direct malice and wilful oppression can be proved, is of all things the most difficult to obtain by application to the Courts. As to a Home Secretary or Lord Chancellor troubling himself with the doings of a justice of the peace, in any matter in which a private person complains of injury from his negligence or ig norance, the idea is too ridiculous to be mentioned or heard with gravity. The notorious Alexander O'Driscoll, Esq., of the Macroom Bench—whose freaks have caused his name to be familiar with the people of both England and Ireland, and whose re moval from the Bench he has disgraced was regarded as an act which the Government no less owed to them selves than to the country—this gentleman finds a protector in the Lord Chancellor of Ireland ! After all his violations of decorum, his outrages of the laws, his manifest partiality, and other proos of his unfit ness for the functions of a Magistrate, Sir Edward Sugden—when memorialised by one of the many sufferers from Mr. O'Driscoll's conduct on the bench —sees nothing to call for his special interference; and directs his secretary to transmit the following answer to the memorial : " Sir—l am directed to inform you that the Lord Chancellor has made an inquiry, and has had transmitted to him copies of the information before Messrs. Fleming and Somerville, and their warrant of committal. He does not think that Mr. O'Driscoll should have acted as a magistrate al he e a ti l in thinks it w it o isi n wt c a as c e a ; se bu under in t whici t s h cir cumstances, e called upon to act. Mr. O'Driscoll is, of course, liable to an 'action, if he acted illegally towards you. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " HENRY SUGDEN, Secretary. " Mr. Daniel Dinien." An action ! " Mr. O'Driscoll is liable to an action, if he has acted illegally" in the case alluded to ! What cruel mockery is this ! A poor peasant, who can scarcely obtain sufficient potatoes for daily food ; an English labourer, whose utmost earnings are, perhaps, not above a shilling a-day ; a mechanic or operative, who finds it difficult to obtain em ployment, and When in work finds the day's wages barely enough for the day's necessities—for a Lord Chancellor or a Home Secretary to inform such a man that he may bring an action at law against a magistrate, a country squire of ample estate, who has perverted the laws to his injury, is a heartless mockery of his complaint, and does but add insult to injury. Well might the poor memorialist of the Irish Lord Chancellor against the wrong-doing of Mr. Alexander O'Driscoll say, in reply to the infor mation given him by the Chancellor's Secretary— "lt is of little or no advantage to me to be told by your Lordship that if Mr. O'Driscoll has acted illegally towards me 1 can obtain redress by an action at law. The redress to be obtained by such expensive means is beyond my reach, or the reach of any poor man like me." " Rearess by an action at law" is a luxury in which the poor mart must not indulge. The Courts of Jus tice are, it is true, open to all ; but, as Home Tooke remarked, on hearing the aphorism, " So is the Lon don Tavern !" The Courts of Justice are open ; but woe to the wretch who enters, unless with a well-lined. purse ! We have no desire to see the unpaid mttgistracy abolished; but we do desire to see the a ministration of the laws, by their instru mentality., preserved from the egregious blunders and consequernt wrongs which they often perpetrate. Either let the Legislature empower the Government to provid e a competent clerk to every Bench, whose legal edit cation and experience shall be as such as to ensure a _practical knowledge of the law, and without whose pmsence no petty sessions shall be held, or any 1 final cottv;sltion or commitment be pronounced ; or let one ar more stipendiary magistrates be appointed by the C rown to every county, whose duty it shall be to pre side at the petty and quarter sessions held within tI to district to which he was appointed. If the Legislate ire would seriously apply itself to an investi gation: off the evils involved in the existing system, there we uld be no difficulty in devising, if not an ab solute ae.Lre, at least an extensive amelioration and im provente rrt. STAI iDARD.—A case has lately occurred in Ire land, an' 3 has been allowed to make some.noise in this country„ which illustrates in a remarkable manner the dun, ger of judging upon imperfect information. Two persons were prosecuted at a county sessions for the, i violent rescue of some property distrained for rent —4 ae defence set up was, that they had paid the re et by bills or promissory-notes still outstand ing, a ,m I that having so paid, they considered that they I tatl satisfied the landlord's claim. This was a plausible. enough defence, and the changes were very libere Ay rungiupon the rapacity and cruelty of a land lord who could thus insist upon being twice paid for his 1. Ind. An explanation has, however, appeared, whit' 4 sets the affair in rather a different light. It now turns 1 out that the tenants, poor innocents, had indeed given 1 their bills or notes for the rent, but that they were, as th( t day of payment approached, furtively removing all th sir property from the farms they occupied —in short, , preparing to run away, and, of course, to leave the Ir, osalord to take up the bills at his convenience, and lc o. k for his rent where it might please him. The bills N vi qe, in fact, demanded because the tenants were 1 'rout the first doubtful subjects, and because a recovery upon a bill is more easily had than b T an ejectment process, while generally it spares i the landlord the necessity of watching the crops, though in the case of these sharp fellows it dici not. The system may seem strange in Eng;lo .d, but we are informed that it is common in Irel tali I, and that the tenantry generally like it, as giv' mg ; them a little more time and more freedom in the disposal of their produce, when the tenant's pm wata 1 seourity is worth anything. We advert to the subject, not only as a warning against drawing has ty eunclusions upon Irish affairs, but also in jus tice to . the accused landlord, to whom we do not find that a n y atonement has been made by the London 1 jour 2a Is that have treated him so roughly. PO ;T.—ln another column will be found an able letter by Mr. Muntz on the subject of the Corn and Currency Laws. Mr. Muntz avows himself the advocate If a 1 system of " general protection for agriculture and corco nerce." This system of general protection is, he cone .ends, to be attained only by means of sound money / lav .s. The corn-laws he condemns, as yielding only partial and uncertain protection." We concede to Mr. I,luntz that our protective system ought to be universal. We concede, moreover, that the most stringent corn-law does not, in itself, constitute a protective system. In opposition, however, to Mr. Muntz, we maintain that of every thoroughly-protective system a stringent corn-law must, in the case of a country so artificial in all its social relations as England is, form a part. The most whole . tonne money laws would not render a corn-law unneces- sary. This is the point of difference between Mr. Muntz and ourselves. We shall presently return to its consi deration. Let us, in the first place, however, glance at seine other of the positions laid down by the Member for Birmingham. The corn-law of 1815 was, according to Mr. Muntz, " right in intention but the working of it was bad and unjust, because it only partially pro tected the wages of labour." " had the framen , ," con tinues the Honourable -Gentleman, "of the corn-14w of 1815 understood what th©y were doing, they would have obtained their protection by coining the precious metals of that nominal value which accorded with the nominal value which their corn had obtained during the war by the depreciation in the value of the unredeemable paper-money. By that plan, they would not only have perfectly protected themselves----but would also have protected all the other interests." We admit, once more, that the corn-law of 1815 was imperfect; and that, in order to render complete their policy of protec tion, the legislators of 1815 ought to have coined the precious metals at rates according with the value of the paper-money which circulated in England during the war. We will add that, even after such an arrange ment, our protective policy would have lacked its surest bass—laws directly protective of the manual labour of the empire. The prosperity of the labourer—that is the only sound foundation of protective laws—and that foundation haS been either deliberately, weakened by the action of our modern laas—or been only in directly strengthened, as in the case of the corn-law of 1815. Mr. Muntz having laid down the proposition that if the currency law of 1819 were repealed, the corn-laws, too, might be repealed without injury to English agriculturists—and Mr. Muntz having, more-. over, shown that the tendency of the Corn-laws has been 'to raise wheat to los. a bushel, while the tendency of the currency law of 1819 has been to lower wheat to 5s. — we argued, as our readers may remember, that this pro cess of double repeal would leave matters pretty much as they are at present. Mr. Muntz, however, regards our view of his positions as a misapprehension of their true nature and tendency. "I do not alone propose," he ob serves, " the abolition of the two laws. I also propose to alter the nominal price of silver from ss. 2d. to is. 6d. per ounce, in which the Bank would pay its notes ;—and in this alteration lies all my contemplated protection and improvement. It would protect produce and labour in England 50 per cent. against foreign produce and labour." Here, as it seems to us, Mr. Muntz falls into error. We regard as perfectly sound his proposition to coin the ounce of silver into 7s. Gd. ; but such a . change wise and necessary as it is would, as suredly, not protect " English produce and la bour to the extent of 50 per cent." against the produce and labour of foreign countries. The producers of Eng land need a double protection, and that double protection it is the highest duty of every Government to afford. Producers need to be protected, in the first place, against the influence of usurers and idle consumers: Producers in this country need, moreover, to be protected against the competition of foreign producers. Foreign producers are apt and powerful instruments in the hands of idle consumers and of usurers amongst ourselves. By means of free trade, our usurers and idle consumers would mould foreign producers to their purposes. By means of money laws, like the money law of 1819, usurers and idle consumers have already abased, to a scarcely calculable extent, the condition of all English producer'. The process of coining the ounce of silver into 7s. 6d. would, immediately, subvert that empire which our usurers and idle consumers have founded on the currency law of 1819. Such a process would invert—wisely and beneficially—the relations which now connect producers with idle consumers. Producers would become strong —idle consumers would become weak. The change would, almost immediately, double the strength of the British empire. The change in question would not, however, we repeat, protect English productive industry against the productive industry of foreign countries. Let the ounce of silver be coined in this country into 7s. 6d. per oz.—and let free trade be established, at the same time ; foreign producers would, forthwith, to a fearful extent, supersede the native industry of England. Now—the ounce of silver being coined into ss. 2d.— fo reign corn growers could, if a free trade in corn were es tablished, pour into our markets a quantity of grain suf ficient to paralyse our agricultural industry. The coin age of the ounce of silver into 7s. 6d. would not affect the poser of foreign corn growers to produce such a disastrous result. After the suggested change in our money laws, foreign corn and English corn would rise in precisely the same proportions of nominal price. If English wheat be now worth, on the average, 50s. a quarter, foreign wheat may be grown and imported to any extent for 40s. English wheat would obviously, after the coinage of the ounce of silver into 7s. 6d., rise to 755., while foreign wheat would rise to 60s. ; sixty shillings of our money would, in short, after such a change in our currency laws, possess the same value as 40s. possess now ; and since, under a free trade system, foreign wheat to any extent might now be procured for 405., so might it be procured to any extent for 60s. ; if the change in our monetary laws, proposed by Mr. Muntz, were adopted by our Le gislature. No reform, in short, of our unsound money laws would render unnecessary comprehensive and strin gent laws for the protection of British industry from the effects of foreign competition. ADVERTISER.—And so the " Oastler Liberation Fund" is to be the Starvealls' instrument of mystifica tion and abuse, for damaging the characters of the manu facturing capitalists, in the hope of marring their efforts for emancipating industry from its fetters; and William Busfield Ferrand, M.P. for Knaresborough, is to be the Coryphmus of the party, in whose behoof it is to be em ployed. The work in which the Hon. Gentleman is en gaged is most congenial to his feelings, and if he succeed as well in this mission as he has in former missions, having the like objects in view, the Starving interests will owe him not a few obligations. Su long as Mr. Ferrand was satisfied with throwing the filth of his abuse at random, recklessly assailing every manufacturing capitalist who ventured to think that the working classes can have no interest in the maintenante of laws which limit the quantity of food to be distributed amongst them, while they form foreigners to become our rivals in the production of those articles which formerly furnished employment for the masses of our population, and wealth for the country ; so long as the Hon. Gentleman was satisfied with such a mode of warfare against the objects of his malignity—imputing to them hypocrisy, fraud, oppression, and treason, in the wholesale, without descending to particulars, or specifying the precise nature or extent of their delinquencies, he could scarcely fail, in some degree, to damage the character of those he thus foully assailed, and to afford satisfac tion to those who found him the fitting tool for pro moting their selfish and sordid objects. To venture beyond, this was a hazardous undertaking for such a genius as the Member for :Knaresborough, and it sur prised us not a little to see that he was permitted to enter upon it. Dunderheaded as the " country gentle men" are, they are seldom found lacking that sort of cunning that avoids unnecessary danger or exposure. Mr. Ferrand, however, was permitted to essay his powers against the manufacturers in a more specific manner; and, as might have been foreseen, a more signal failure was never before witnessed. His " devil's dust" affair ended, appropriately enough, in smoke; his dis coveries in the practice of " trucking" proved to be " a mare's nest ;" -and his equally confident averments connecting the master-manufacturers with the turn-outs and riots in the manufacturing districts, were proved, after a series of gravely-conducted judicial investiga tions, to have been unfounded and malignant slanders. It might have been imagined that after all this the Member for Knaresborough, if so lost to all sense of decency himself as to still present himself to the public gaze, would have been thrown overboard and abandoned by the party in whose behalf he stood forward. But, no ; such is their utterly forlorn case, that oven Mr. Ferrand, " with all his blushing honours thick upon him," is not too contemptible a thing to Le put forward as their champion and—Jack Pudding. Mr. Ferrand is making a tour of the country, avowedly to aid the fund fur the liberation of Mr. Oastler ; but not less avowedly to assail and abuse the master manufacturers generally. and the members of the Anti-Corn-law League in par ticular. A tolerable specimen of his mode of proceed ing was furnished at Liverpool, last week, at a meeting called in behalf of the Oastler fund :—" I am here," said this discreet and truth-loving gentleman—" I am here to bring forth evidence against a party, and you have driven me to it. Those parties first en tered into their conspiracy at Manchester. They sent for O'Connell—and for the employment of O'Connell, let the factory children tell the price— the bargain was made for the destruction of the Pro testant religion ; and, in return, O'Connell was to be assisted in his efforts to obtain a repeal of the Union." Look at that, all ye quiet, peace-loving, church going old ladies in the kingdom ! It is none other than William Busfeild Ferrand that speaks, and his word is the word of—a Member of Parliament ! A conspiracy was concocted at Manchester—O'Connell was sent fur (the purpose does not clearly appear, but that there was one none can doubt, for) his employment was proved by his refusing to aid the Starvealls in adding to the wages and comforts of the poor factory people, by limiting their hours of work, enhancing the price of the articles they produce, and thus narrowing the markets for their sale ! One thing is clear, however, that the great oh ject of du, couspir.ey oaf, **s list action of the Pro testant religion; the corollary was to be, the repeal of the Union; and for these two great purposes the Anti- Corn-law League is prosecuting its gigantic labours ! Such is the staple of Mr. Ferrand's present philippics against the manufacturers and the League; and the Times, and the rest of the Tory press, are not ashamed to occupy their columns day after day in retailing their trash. - Verily, the Starveocracy is in a desperate plight to be reduced to such champions. INTERESTING TO MARINERS.—Through the inter cession of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, M.P., with the Trinity Board, the dangerous reef of rocks in Christ church Bay, on the Hampshire coast, has just been properly buoyed. The rocks are known as the Christ. church Ledge, and have long been dreaded as very perilous to navigation. In no del artmeat o the public revenue have so many improvements been made of late years as in that of the General P 4 st-office, in "-consequence of the facilities afforded by the rapid progress of steam navigation railways. To the commerce of this great mercantile country the iraroduction 'of locomotive power since 1820 has probed of the greatest'importance. Our well-built steamers now cross the wide .Atlantic to America and the West Indies, Portua;al, Spain, down the Medi teranean to Egypt, and the Indian seas ; up the Baltic to St. PetersLurgla to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ostend, Calais, Boulogne, Dieppe, and Havre de Grace, and run daily like a trip to Gravesend ; whilst by the means of railways we are conveyed in a few hours to in land towns of England and Scotland, which formerly oc cupied days and nights of dreary travelling.

DEATH FROM ILL-TREATMENT. SUDBUllr.—This town and neighbourhood have, dur ing the past week, been in the greatest state of excite ment, in consequence of a rumour that a boy, 13 years of age, named Joseph Cl.Jk, late in the employ of Mr. Simon Viall, of Middleton Hall, a short distance from the town, had come to his death in consequence of blows and kicks inflicted by his master. Mr. Viall is a re spectable farmer, occupying, it is said, 700 acres of land. The poor boy expired at his father's house, in Cross street, All Saints, Sudbury, on Sunday, the 24th ult. His father is an agricultural labourer, in the employ of .Mr.Viall. The investigation was carried on for four days, and at the conclusion on Friday the jury retired at a quar ter-past five, and after Consulting an hour and a half, re turned the following verdict The jury, after four days' careful investigation, are unanimously . of opinion that Joseph Clark, deceased, on whom this inquest has been held, came by his death from a kick or blow given him by Simon Viall, of Middleton-hall, in the county of Essex ; and that the jury return a verdict of Manslaughter against the aforesaid Simon Viall." A rumour has just reached us, that Mr. Viall has absconded.—lpswich Express. IIoYAL ExttiANGE.—lt is the intention of the Gresham Committee at once to take into consideration he possibility of giving the public a direct thoroughfare through the new area of the Royal Exchange, but as this cannot be done without materially interfering. with the operations of isle. Jackson, the contractor, and his workmen, who have engaged to finish the building in a specified time under a large penalty, a covered passage is the only one that can in any shape be acceded to, and even in this case, it would cut off a direct intercourse with the western and eastern portions of the buildings, and prove very inimical to that rapid execution already exhibited. With an open thoroughfare the attention of the workmen .would naturally be called from their duties, and that system of surveillance, so necessary under such circumstances, would he rendered one of increased diffi culty, if nut altogether impossible. At present the space afforded to the workmen is unprecedentedly small -- . .aitadeed, it is calculated that the loss accruing for the wadi of more has been at least 4,0001. Upon the east side-there are about eight feet between the hoarding and the Building, and upon the three other sides there are scarcely ten. There is a fact which has not been com nieated on during the progress of the works, which, by reason of its absence at ether public buildings, demands a passing notice. It is the great unanimity which has throughout existed between the contractor and the work men. This comfortable feeling . is, it would now appear, directly owing to a vvie forethought in founding a fund for the relief of all employed upon the edifice. The principal source of such fund arose from the permission of the Committee to exhibit far three days the marquee under whk.ii his Jh Flightless Prince Albert, and other disth4uished persons, met to lay the first stone. From thia means alum: an exchequer has been furnished, out of which, sst;i some trilling additions, no less a sum than 500/. has taa n disp•nsed to the families of the sick and maimed. The number of casualties during the erection has been very small.
