Newbon and Evans. In almost every office of trust in mercantile or professional avoca tions security is required. The observation applies universally to the several situations under Government, connected with the collec tion of the revenue. In addition, the numerous existing railway, and other incorporated public companies, are imperatively required by their acts of incorporation to take security from their officers; and when it is considered what an increase there has been, and is certain still to be in such companies, the amount of security con tinually, and from time to time required to be found by private par ties, by some means or other, to qualify them to hold situations of trust, mast be immense. The insecurity of, and objection to, private suretyship arises from the difficulty which must always exist of ascertaining with correct ness the real solvency of the proposed sureties at the time ; and even when this fact can be satisfactorily shown then remains the danger that the bondsmen may not continue solvent. In how many cases does it not happen that, on defalcation occurring, and en in quiries being made as to the sureties, they are found either to have themselves become insolvent, or to have died in embarrassed circum stances, leaving but little, if any, chance to the principal of reaping any benefit from his supposed security ? On the other hand, the evil is not less to the applicant for the situation or the office. Many a man, otherwise well qualified, has been obliged to forego an advantageous appointment, by not being able to fled security - to the large amount required by the regulations the particular service or department ; and the very application to ids is, to a well-constituted mind, painful, seeing that the appli est thereby not only lays himself under personal obligations, but subjects his friends to serious pecuniary liability, without any eor responding individual advantage. The object of the Surety Society is to obviate these evils by sub stituting the security of a responsible incorporated public company. In consideration of the payment of a small annual premium, regu lated by circumstances, the Society will become responsible for the fidelity of persons employed in offices of trust, to any extent which may be agreed upon and stated in the policy, and will thus open to parties not being perhaps in a situation to obtain private sureties to a sufficient amount, but otherwise eligible, the opportunity of accepting valuable appointments of trust. The advantages to principals are the responsibility of a public company, with an ample subscribed capital, obviating the necessity of personal inquiry into the individual responsibility of proposed sure ties, andrelleving,,,principals from the possibility of loss by reason of the insolvency of the private surety. The Directors will exercise all needful precautions in entering into contracts. The ordinary minimum rate of premium will be fixed ; but special cases will be made the subject of a distinct contract, at an agreed rate. At the end of three years the experience of the Society will be examined, and, if found practicable, the premimns on all existing policies of three years' standing will be reduced; so that those assurers who have not exposed the Society to loss may reap the benefit of their established character. Parties, or their representatives, under personal liability, by bond or otherwise, for the fidelity of relatives or Aiello's, may be indemnified, or entirely relieved from responsibility, by contract with this Society. The capital requisite to enable the Society to avail itself of the advantages of incorporation under the recent Joint-Stock Companies' Act having been subscribed for, the Directors are proceeding with all dispatch to complete the Registration of the Company, and will be ready to receive proposals on the first of January next. The capital is required as satisfaction to the public, but, as in Life Assurance, the assurers' premiums rapidly form a capital ; the Directors, therefore, will at present only require the first call. of 1/. per Share, reserving, however, the right of making farther calls, should they hereafter deem it desirable. Interest, at the rate of five pounds per cent.Swlll be paid on the etpital; the profits will be as certained by the experience of the office at the expiration of every three years. The remaining shares will be- allotted at the discretion of the Directors, to parties in mercantile pursuits, or the public service, and who are personally known to the Trustees or Directors, or whose ap plications are certified by a banker or broker. All applications to be addressed to the Directors through the Solicitors, Messrs Newbon and Evans, at the temporary Offices of the Society, 1, Wardrobe place, Doctors'-commons, London.

John Hawkshaw, Esq. I Edward Woods, Esq This railway is designed to connect, by the shortest practicable route, the port of Liverpool with Preston and other places to the northward, and with Blackburn and other places to the eastward, and to supply Manchester, Wigan, Bolton, Oldham, Stockport, and other manufacturing districts in Lancashire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, the advantage of direct railway communication with Southport and the west coast of Lancashire. One portion of this railway will diverge from the present line of the North Union Railway at or near Farrington, and by forming a communication with the Blackburn and Preston Railway there, will accommodate the traffic both of Preston and Blackburn, and the places beyond. From Farrington it will proceed by Ormskirk, and thence past Kirby (where it will form a junction with the Liver pool and Bury Railway), and terminate at the intended new sta tion of the Grand Junction Railway Company at Edge-hill, Liver pool, from whence there will be access to the north and south docks, as well as to the Lime-street station in that town. This portion of the main line will be twenty-four smiles in length, and will bring Liverpool within twenty-seven miles of Preston, and thirty-three miles cf Blackburn. Another portion of the under taking will consist of a trunk line from Southport, passing St. John's, in the village of Burscough, near which it will Intersect and form a junction with the line from Farrington to Liverpool, and proceed thence through the Douglas Valley to Wigan, where it will avail itself of the North Union station in passing through the town, pro ..ceeding thence by Hind:ey, Atherton, Tyldesley, Ellenbrook, and Worsley, it will form a junction with the Liverpool and Manchester Railway near Eccles, and with the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Railway in Pendleton. By means of a junction with the Bolton and Leigh Railway at Atherton, the advantages of this line will be extended to the town of Leigh. The length of this trunk will be about twenty-eight miles of new line, bringing Southport within thirty-three miles of Manchester, sixteen-and-a-half of Wigan, and twenty-six of Bolton, and reduc ing the time occupied in the journey between Southport and Man chester from four hours to little more than one, and between that favourite watering-place and other manufacturing districts in like proportion; at the same time substituting for a dilatory and expensive means of transport, the dispatch and economy of a thorough railway communication. The line between Wigan and Manchester will pass through a popu lous district, possessing extensive manufactures ; and the coal-field it will traverse and lay open to the manufacturing districts, as well as to Liverpool, is second to none in this part of England in richness and variety. This railway will also afford increased facilities for conveying the produce of the abundant agricultural district, lying between the River Alt and the Douglas, to the manufacturing communities of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Notwithstanding the present uncertain, dilatory, and expensive means of access to Southport, the numbers resorting thither are very great, and rapidly increasing, and it cannot be doubted that the faci lities and economy in time, as well as money, of a direct railway communication, would give rise to an accession of traffic far exceed ing the ordinary ratio of estimated increase. The benefits resulting from the construction of these lines will be obtained at a comparatively small outlay. The country throughout is easy, and of a level character, rendering the works light, and the gradients highly favourable. There are no engineering difficulties, and the advantage of terminal stations, and access to and through the principal towns, are already provided by the establishments of the Grand Junction, Manchester and Leeds, North Union, and Liver pool and Bury Companies, whose cordial co-operation is guaranteed by the participation of those Companies in the capital, and conse quently In the success, of the undertaking.

The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to the HALF CREDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by which table the bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid less the amount ofpremiums on credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with the Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last equitable division in 1840, when it was largely adopted. and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and latge bonuses have been aided to them on the scale of the following table; — Sum Assured.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, Nov. 28.—This market remains in the same quiescent state as during the last few weeks, and without any material variation, either as regards sales or prices. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, Nov. 28.—We have not any alteration to notice in this branch of trade during the present week. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Nov. 28.—There is no dif ferent feature in this department of trade this week from last, and no relief to the dulness then noted; the remarks made then will equally apply now. LEEDS.—Business has been very dull at the cloth-halls this week. There continues to be nothing doing in the way of purchases except to express orders. Prices continue steady, and from the cautions proceedings of the manufacturers there is no great accumulation of stock. Business in the ware houses has been almost as dull as usual at this season. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—The dulness that has now so long pervaded the wool market is not in the slightest degree dispelled. The demand for all kinds of combing wools is narrowed down to the lowest possible point, yet notwith standing this extreme falling off in the consumption, there is no disposition to press wools on the market. The country dealers are not generally large holders, and as the farmers who hold their clips are disinclined to give way in price, the quantity coming to market is not considerable, which gives the staplers confidence to hold forward, rather than sacrifice without being able to replace. The business in yarns, now that the export houses are nearly out of the market, is limited, for the manufacturers are generally acting with great caution, and buy only for present wants ; yet the great diminution in the production must tell ere long, for every day adds further additions to the already unemployed. The • position of the spinners is truly harassing, for evidently no material relief is likely to be had for the raw material, and until a considerable improvement in the present price of yarns can be obtained, it is quite clear this branch of the trade will not be extended, or the sufferings of the operatives in any way alleviated. The determination to prevent any increase of stock in pieces is closely practised by the manufacturers, in confirmation of which, immense numbers of both male and female weavers may be found without any work whatever, and those who are employed only partially so. Still the position of the manufacturer has for some time past been infinitely better than that of the spinner, for the sacrifices that have been made on yarns by many needy spinners has enabled them to offer goods at prices far below what the price of wool will warrant. With the precautionary measures now adopted, it will tend to bring about a more natural state of things, and place the trade on a more healthy basis. The business done to-day has only been limited, as the home trade houses only buy to assort their stocks, and the shippers doing a little for the German. fairs in January. In prices there is no change worthy of notice. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have bad an other dull and declining week is our cloth market, and prices are now rapidly approaching the lowest point known in 1841-42, particularly for shirting's. When the advance paid to the operatives in every department of manufacture is con sidered, the position of the manufacturer is not better, if so good, as in the most distressing period referred to. The printers are alarmingly dull—so are the dyers. Short hours are now again generally spoken of, thus showing that dear food and higher wages have no necessary affinity with each other. The silk trade was never known to be in so depressed a state. The fustian cutters are now working for 30 or 40 per cent. less wages than they did six months ago; at that time certainly their wages were very high. Spinners submit to a slight reduction from the highest point some four months ago. Twist may be said to have receded in value some 15 per cent. THE RESISTRATION IN LANCASHIRE.—The public in Manchester and its vicinity, or rather the free-traders in these localities, are responding to the call of the League to qualify for the counties in good earnest : within a week more than 100 applications have been made. That the members will increase in something like arithmetical progression up to the 31st January, 1846, there is every reason to expect, judging from present appearances. The higher class of Re formers, now that the plan is likely to succeed, are qualifying themselves, and for such counties as apparently stand most in needof such assistance. A regular canvass in districts will be resorted to, in order that no stray free-trader may escape. The feeling on this great question is evidently most intense, and the prospect of an early repeal of the corn-laws is giving such an impulse in the right direction, that the monopolists must, it is pretty clear, strike their colours. The League is at work late and early.—Leeds Afercury. THE THREATENED SCARCITY OF FOOD IN IRELAND. (Abridged from the T,irerpool Journal of Saturday.) The Mayor of Liverpool having declined to call a town meeting for the purpose of memorialising Government on the threatened scarcity in Ireland, a public meeting of the in habitants was held last night at the Royal Amphitheatre. The doors were opened shortly after six o'clock, but long before that hour a vast crowd filled Queen-square and Great Charlotte-street. The nigh on the opening of the doors was tremendous, and in about ten minutes the house was literally overflowed, thousands outside pressing eagerly but uselessly for admission. W. BROWN, Esq., took the chair, and when silence was restored, he proceeded as follows :—Gentlemen, you have done me the honour to request that I would preside over your deliberations this evening. I have no doubt that you will give me all the support you can, in order that every gentleman who may be pleased to state his views to this assembly on the present unpleasant position in which you are placed from the failure of the potato crop and the deterioration of the wheat crop, may do so with satisfaction to himself.—(Hear, hear.) I do not suppose, gentlemen, that it will be necessary for me to exercise the privilege of a chairman to call any gentleman to order, but in such an event taking place, I have no doubt I shall have your cordial sup port to maintain the authority of the chair.—(Hear.) Gen tlemen, the friend who was pleased to nominate me as your chairman this evening, has already informed you that a re quisition was sent to our chief magistrate, signed by 5,800 of his fellow-townsmen—gentlemen of different religious per suasions, and of all political parties.—(Hear, and cheers.) That requisition requested that his worship would call us to gether to deliberate and to consider what measures we should adopt to alleviate the distresses which are likely to overtake a largeand humble class of our fellow-subjects. To that re. quisition, Gentlemen, he was pleased to answer that he did not think the time was come for calling us together under his auspices.—(Laughter and hisses.) But, Gentlemen, to put you in full possession of the respectful requisition that was sent to him, and the very letter of his answer, I think it will be best to read both for your consideration ; and as my voice is none of the best, my excellent friend, Mr. Cooke, has promised to relieve me of that part of my d u ty. H e w il l also be good enough io read the requisition of a number of your fellow-townsmen—the mayor having declined to call us to gether—requesting that we should assemble under the pro tection of the Constitution to express our own opinions fully and fairly to her Majesty's Government.—(Hear and cheers.) Mr. J. B. COOKE here read the requisition to the Mayor, together with the Mayor's reply. The CHAIRMAN then continued as follows :—Gentlemen, that the first requisition to the Mayor, and the second re quisition to you, was signed on no light grounds, I think we have very ample materials to show.—(Hear.) The first that I shall bring under your consideration is correspondence that took place between Lord Cloncurry and the Prime Minister. The Government were so sensible of the danger that threat ened the country from famine that they assured his Lordship that it occupied the most serious consideration of Ministers. The - next that I shall call your attention to is the Mark Lane .express —a paper that is the avowed organ of the agricultural interests of the country. The Express tells us, and reiterates the statement from week to week, that many cargoes of po tatoes have arrived in the Thames so very decayed and rotten that they were thrown overboard.—(Hear, hear). It also leads us to believe that the accounts from all parts of the kingdom are by no means favourable to the preservation of the potato crop throughout the winter, for the sustenance of those who live, most unfortunately, on that description of food. Every newspaper throughout the kingdom has from time to time reiterated the same facts ; and that we are not now in a state of distress, when we are paylne.. 400,0001. a week more for provisions than we were paying this time twelve months, is what you will not readily believe.—(Hear, and applause). I will also call your attention to resolutions passed in Dublin, at a meeting at the Mansion-house, where Lord Cloncurry pre sided, and the Lord Mayor was present ; and perhaps my ex cellent friend, Mr. Cooke, will again do me the favour of reading those resolutions, for they are satisfactory to my mind, and I think they will be perfectly satisfactory to your minds also, that the grounds upon which we have assembled to-night are no light grounds, taking into consideration the evils likely to arise from the disease of the potato crops during the winter and the coming spring. THOMAS THORNELY, 'Esq., M.P., then rose and said—Gen tlemen, there are many of us here present who have all our lives been free traders. There are many of you, gentlemen, I trust, who have long entertained free trade opinions; and as to the rest of you, gentlemen, if you have not already adopted them, I beg that you will direct your attention to the present crisis of distress, and I think that you will then agree with those of us who have long entertained those opinions which I have expressed, that there ought to be an immediate end put to those laws which prohibit the free importation of food into the United Kingdom.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, I have lately made some inquiries in our corn markets as to the prices of grain —particularly in the month of May last and in the present month of November—l found that the wheat of the old crop of Ireland in May last was at Gs. 3d. per 70 lbs.; that the same article of wheat of the old Irish crop is now at 9s. 3d.—that is an advance of nearly 50 per cent.—(Hear, hear.) I found that oats in the month of May were at 3s. per 45 lbs., and that they are now at 3s. 2d. for the same quantity; that meal was at 225. 6d. per 40 lbs., and that it is now at 348.(L0ud cheers.) Now, gentlemen, it pleased the Legislature, as you all recollect, some time ago, to im pose an income-tax upon all persons whose incomes ex ceeded 1501. per year, to an amount of something like 3 per cent. ; and, gentlemen, great was the outcry throughout the country, and numerous were the petitions most properly presented to Parliament against this tax ; but here is a tax —an advance in the prices of food between the months of May and November, which has abstracted from the pockets of the poor man, net a 3 per cent., but an enormous tax, which renders it a difficult thing for that excellent class of the people—the labouring class of this country, of which I shall never speak without respect—(Loud cheers)—to avoid great misery and great suffering in the crisis which is so likely to increase. —(Hear.) Well, now, gentlemen, several of the great towns of this country, seeing what is before us, have come forward and addressed the Prime Minister, to express their sense of the approaching famine. The people of Manchester were called together by the Man chester men ; the people of Salford also ; the people of Birmingham have expressed their opinions ; the people of Sheffield have done the same ; the men of Leeds have called together the people of that great manufacturing town; and all these have unanimously adopted the measure of addressing the Prime Minister on our present prospects.—(Cheers.) And I have also heard that the inhabitants of the City of London will be convened, in a short time, to express their opinions. —(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, our respected Chairman has in formed you of our proceedings—of having addressed the Mayor ; and I must say we should have shown ourselves a cowardly set of people if we had been prevented by any cir cumstances from meeting in this place, and expressing our opinions.—(Cheers.) My friend, Mr. Thomas Baines will read to you some further reports, of a most extraordinary character, of the loss of the potato crop. In the meantime, from what the Chairman has stated, from the public proceed ings in Ireland, and from what you have seen here at home in Lancashire, you cannot for a moment doubt that serious damage has been inflicted, generally, on the potato crop. I was in London but a few days since, and I was there informed that at one cf the wharfs of the Thames vessels had arrived laden with a thousand tons of potatoes from Yorkshire; that those potatoes were so completely destroyed that the vessels were ordered to be taken into the middle of the Thames, and that the potatoes had been then thrown overboard.—(Hear.) But a couple of days ago I read a letter from a clergyman residing in a remote part of Ireland, ordering from Liverpool a quantity of rice, to avert, as he said, the approaching fa mine under which the people will suffer. Well, now, Gen tlemen, what is to be done? I say that, as it is apparent to the people that these deficiencies in the potato crop are so seri ous, and the injury done to the wheat crop have deprived them of their resources, it is incumbent upon the Prime Minister to call Parliament together; to say then what his convictions are—if they can be calledconvictions ;—and he would come to the conclusion, which I think be ought already to have come to, if he could have divested himself of ancient prejudices in favour of the sliding scale—that those laws prohibiting the entrance of food into the kingdom ought to be repealed.— (Cheers.) It is known that her Majesty the Queen, by the advice of the Privy Council, might admit provisions free of duty until the time of the meeting of Parliament, and I think, gentlemen, that if her Majesty were to do- so, such an order in Council would be the strongest evidence in our favour; be cause, by so doing, it would be admitting that the present laws are defective, and ought to be abolished.—(Cheers.) It is extraordinary that in this great town of Liverpool, where you receive from every corner of the world, every day of your life, articles of foreign production, where you see all such ar ticles bonded at the Custom-house, that you never see such a thing as an importation of food.—(Hear, hear.) It is extra ordinary, gentlemen, that,lin this town of Liverpool, if you go into the ship-building yards, you see the ingenuity of your ship-builders displayed in considering in which way they shall construct a ship to carry the greatest quantity of merchandise, and to sail with the greatest facility ; it is ex traordinary that you in Liverpool were the first people of the world who constructed a railway—that between Liver pool and Manchester—and that the principle of which has been since, and is now being imitated throughout Europe and America—that you constructed that railway, and con struct others to save time and give speed to your under takings ; it is extraordinary, I say, doing this, that you should submit to those laws, whereas the importation of wheat, flour, grain, and meal, are essential to the happiness and welfare of mankind ;—that, I say, you should submit to laws which, instead of allowing the distribution of these, stop them at the very threshold, place them in bond, and render them as lost —(Loud cheers.) I say you are the most inconsistent people in the world, if you build a ship to sail with speed, construct a railroad to gain speed and save time, and yet allow wheat, and flour, and provisions of all kinds, to be taken from you and placed in bonded warehouses, in stead of circulating and giving cheap food and comfort to the people. Gentlemen, there are at this time no less than from 700,000 to 800,000 quarters of wheat and flour lying in bonded warehouses in this kingdom; this is wanted to grind with the new and soft wheat, the produce of this last harvest ; but you allow it to be bonded, and this misirable wheat of our own production is prevented yielding such good flour as it would have done if it had been properly mixed. There has been a suggestion made, and the time may come when, if no other plan is resorted to, we may propose that it be followed—that by subscriptions we shall seek to relieve the sufferings of our fellow-subjects ; but I will tell you this, that if each man subscribes to the full extent of his means, it would not add one ounce of food for the consumption of the people.—(Hear, hear.) It would only bring more competitors into the market and raise the prices of provisions. The only way of reducing the prices of food, and so lessen the distress is—instead of increasing prices by subscriptions, to open the ports—(Loud cheers)—and thus to compel the Ministers and Parliament to supply us as we would ourselves do, if left to ourselves. — (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, before the close of these proceed ings you will be called upon, 1 understand, to concur in a me morial to Sir Robert Peel, as First Lord of the Treasury,ueox pressing your opinions on the present state of affairs: You will state, in your memorial, your serious apprehensions Ithink of tk of famine—of universal famine ; and really, he the state of our fellow subjects in Ireland , myw heart bows i within me to think of the misery that know, inevitably be a of subsistence has altogether occasioned to that people, whose only m is the potato crop, which, as we an n failed.—(Hear, hear.) I am indeed happy that that most industrious people have found so much and such liberal em ployment in the commerc ial and manufacturing towns of England, at a higher rate of wages than that given them at home. I rejoice that they are useful in our docks and in r a m glad that, in this respect, the com mercial and m anufacturing towns of England afford so much employment to the people of Ireland ; but still the distress and misery impending in that country are such as to demand the attention and the care of Ministers— (Hear, hear) — and to induce them to adopt measures which may remedy the evil so far as it is possible to be done..—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) We have, Gentlemen, within forty-eight hours, been surprised and delighted with the declara tions of two of the most distinguished statesmen of this country in favour of those views which most of us here present have entertained for so long a time, and which your presence here shows you also generally entertain—l speak, Gentlemen, of the admirable address written by Lord John Russell, at Edinburgh—(Cheers) —to his constituents, the electors of thecity of London.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I honour—l respect Lord John Russell for that clear and that definite declaration'at such a moment. Lord John Russell is a statesman of high character and of great intellect, to whom no one, let him be a political oppo nent entertaining political opinions hoWever strongly ad verse, will deny the possession of abilities of a high order— (Hear, hear)—that he is a man of the greatest integrity, energy of mind, and benevolence of purpose.—(Loud and long-continued cheers.) That declaration of Lord John Rus sell goes to this effect :—That the time has gone by for pro posing a fixed duty; that the approach of the close of har vest should no longer be attended by those anticipations, so often realised, of failure and of consequent distress—(heer) —but that every impediment to the importation and to the free and unqualified circulation of food should be swept away. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, there is another statesman—l mean Lord Morpeth—(Loud cheers)—whose characterland talents are, like those of Lord John Russell, of the very highest order —whose character is equally unblemished; and he has, within the last two or three days, written a letter, which Was read at a public meeting. held the other day at Sheffield, ex pressing his individual opinion—an opinion come to witlibut consultation with any other and without concert—that the corn-laws ought to be entirely abolished.—(Loud cheers). To those gentlemen who have been working through a long series of years, for the obtaining of the abolition of these laws, such declarations coming from these quarters could not but prove satisfactory, and might further, be received as very convincing testimonials that the doctrines they held and maintained were right and sound.—(Loud cheers.) And now it is in our power. I believe and am convinced, by s firm; and unqualified, and conscientious expression of our sentiments—sentiments embodied in the resolution .I am about to read, and in'others which will be read too, and which will he carried by you—to put an end, at once and for ever, to the abominable and detestable existing corn-laws.—(Tre mendous cheers.) Mr. Thornely concluded by proposing and moving the following resolution :—" That the alarming failure in the potato crop throughout the United Kingdom, confirmed in the case of Ireland by several reports from the Commissioners specially appointed by her Majesty's Govern ment to investigate the subject, and by other persons of un questionable veracity, together with the injury done to the wheat crop, aro calculated to excite the most serious appre hensions of impending famine." LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, Esq., seconded the resolution. Mr. BAINES read a long report stating the condition of the potato crop. W. RATHBONE, Esq., proposed the next resolution—" That we have now assembled for the purpose of expressing our strong convictions of the responsibility which rests upon her Majesty's confidential advisers, if they do not take imme diate steps to avert, as far as possible, the awful consequences of a deficient supply of the necessaries of life." A. H. WYLIE, Esq., seconded the resolution. Dr. BLACKBURN read the following resolution :—" That we find, from daily experience, that in all the articles we obtain from foreign nations, and which are left to the natural opera tions of commerce, there is always procurable an abundant supply for the •wants of the community ; that we therefore believe that it is owing to the restrictions imposed by the corn and provision laws that there is not every year a store of foreign grain ample enough to dispel the well-founded alarm which is now inseparable from a failure in our own harvests; that the operation of these laws is generally to impoverish the labouring classes, and to reduce them to the coarsest description of food on which existence can be supported; that we are firmly convinced that the failure of their only principal means of subsistence among that large and helpless portion of our fellow-subjects, un less in some degree remedied by the instant admission of all kinds of provisions duty free, wiM be productive of con= sequences too fearful to contemplate ; that we, therefore, consider it the bounden duty of the Queen's responsible advisers to advise her Majesty immediately to summon the Parliament, for the purpose of recommeedin g the total and immediate abolition of a system which has ' been justly said to be ' the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, and the cause of penury, andlever, and crime, among the people.'' He then said, - This resolution contains a very important sen timent—one which we would do well to understand its . necessary thoroughly in all its bearings and with all as _necessary limitations. It does not assert that our corn-laws are the cause of deficiency in the harvest, or that any possible arrangement' of law could prevent those casualties to which the crops of all countries are in the very' nature of things, and, by the ordination of Providence, always ex posed. Nor does it at all imply that a conaiderahle failure in the produce of the ground is not a serious calamity in itself, calculated to entail great suffering on the bumbler classes in whatever part of the world it may occur.—(Hear.) The great national evil which the corn-laws are intended to protect us from is, in plain terms—a cheap and abundant supply of food—certainly the oddest kind of national evil that ever was heard of.—(Cheers and laughter.) And we are not left to conjecture upon this subject, but are plainly told so by the monopolists themselves. 'When the Duke of Rich mond said, We don't grow glass, but we do grew timber"— when Sir Edward Knatchbull waxed lachrymose about mar riage settlements and daughters' portions—and when Mr. Miles, the acknowledged leader of the landowners' party, stood up in his place in the House of Commons, and rated the Premier in good set terms, because divers articles, such as butter, cheese, and bacon, had been t oo c h ea p, i m p u ti ng it to Sir Ro bertl as a crime and a violation of an implied com pact—that lie had not kept up prices as was expected by his supporters—the real purpose of the corn-laws comes out. The more knowing ones of the party talk in a different style, and wrap up their statements in a sort of misty verbiage in tended to deceive and delude; but these simpletons blab— (Cheers)—the secret; and as Mr. Escott said the other day, they damage their own cause most effectually. And is it indeed to come to this? Are the people of England, Scot land, and Ireland, to bow down their necks any longer beneath this yoke? Let them now speak out—promptly —clearly—loudly—in a voice that cannot be mistaken. Let them, in tones that shall reverberate through the halls of legislation, and ascend up to the palace of the em pire, tell those haughty oligarchs—who by their corn-laws and their game-laws now trample down the people like mire in the streets—that we will be their slaves no longer.— (Great cheering). In this way, and in this way only, will the victory of truth, and righteousness, and benevolence, be secured. In this way, and in this way only, will the grim and gory dragon of monopoly be hurled from his throne, amid the joyous hallelujahs of emancipated millions. Dr. Black burn resumed his seat amid thunders of applause. Mr. J. BRANCKER was introduced. He said :—Fellow townsmen, after the very excellent speech of our respected friend, Dr. Blackburn, you will, I am sure, quite agree with me, that the less I say the better.—(Laughter and cheers). I shall, therefore, confine myself to heartily recommending to you the motion which he has proposed, and in seconding it myself.—(Cheers.) R. SHEIL, Esq., having addressed the meeting at consider able length, Mr. Cztooxia read the memorial, embodying the previous resolutions. The memorial was adopted, and the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. :30.—The Athol troop-ship, on her way to Jamaica, with royal artillery, is at Spithead, to have a few defects made good, and some additional scuttles cut, to give more air and light on the lower deck. She will be finished to- morrow, and sail on Tuesday. The Trincomalee, a teak 42-gun frigate, cut down and altered to a 26-gun ship, was floated out of dock yesterday, and will be fitted for commission without delay. She is to be armed with four 68-pounders on the main deck ; two 82 pounders on the upper-deck, and the other 20 guns will be 32-pounders. The alterations made in her construction have been the suggestion of Mr. Corry, the secretary to the Ad miralty. She retains the bew of the Leda and Juno class, and appears a fine vessel. The Wanderer, 16, and the Childers, 16, have put into I dock to repair, and be got ready for commission. The Rader, screw -steamer, is in dock to have a great hole cut through the after part of her frame, to admit of her screw propeller being unshipped when necessary, and hoisted upon deck. The place will resemble the well of a fishing yawl, and is to be lined with copper. Much trouble and delay will be saved by this method of getting at the propeller, when it requires inspection, or repair, as now it must be re moved from the outside, and got up over the vessel's quarter. By simply having a rope made fast to the main boom, it can be hoisted on deck with ease. The Rattler is, if possible, to be got ready for sea by Saturday next, but to what part of the globe she is to be sent is at present all rumour and con- I cture. The Scourge, mortar steamer, has entered a few men, and her officers being appointed, she will commence rigging and fitting next week. It is expected that the 56-pounder gun, which she has in at present, will be exchanged for a 10 inch 84-pounder, and two carronades added. The Fairy yacht continues daily trips to Cowes to receive the commands of her Majesty. The Commander-in-Chief had the honour of dining at Osborne House on Friday. He was the only guest, except the usual dinner party. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has expressed his intention to come to the dockyard some day this week to inspect the royal apartments in the Admiralty-house. NAVAL RETmEmENT.—The extended time for the captains of the navy to send in their names for acceptance of the offer of the Admiralty to retire upon the increased allowance of ss. 6d. per diem, with other advantages, expires this day. It is confidently reported among naval people that 280 cap tains have accepted it. If so, there is little doubt but the measure will be carried out. A few days must determine the s business, as those officers who have signified their wishes to the Admiralty must receive o ffi cial notice, eitiriart that e t their names have been placed on a retired list, r_ ° be t r of offi contemplated plan cannot be effected.

DEVONPORT, Nov. 28.—The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia still remains in Plymouth Sound, in the Ingerman land, detained by contrary winds. His Imperial Highness has made several valuable presents. Among a variety of others, he has presented to Mr. William Edye, master- ship wri,glit of this Dockyard, a diamond ring; and he has also presented to Mr. Llewellyn, foreman in the Dockyard, who superintended the work of the artificers on board the Russian ships, a gold watch. The Grand Duke likewise ordered 20/. to be given to the widow of a shipwright named Libbey, who fell into the water from a stage erected outside the Prince of Warsaw, and subsequently died of pulmonary apoplexy. The Russian ships have received a supply of British provisions, at which the crews are highly delighted, their ordinary fare being of a ntuch coarser description. The Ringdove and Rapid brigs arc being prepared for commission with the greatest possible dispatch, and will be ready at Christmas. Indeed the greatest activity prevails in this Dockyard, and the men employed on the two above-named ships work extra hours, as well as several other gangs. (From the Devonport Independent.) _RETURN DINNER GIVEN ON BOARD MIS IMPERIAL MA JESTY'S SHIP INGERMANLAND, BY TEE OFFICERS OF THAT SHIP, TO THE OFFICERS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP QUEEN...-. On Monday evening last, at four o'clock ism s the officers of her Majesty's ship Queen, Captain Sir Henry Leeke, repaired on board the Russian man-of-war Ingermanland, and were immediately ushered into the Captain's cabin, when, in a few minutes, dinner being announced, they proceeded to the Admiral's cabin, the band playing a march, where a table was laid for upwards of thirty-five in the most splendid style. In the centre was a gilt candelabra, of large dimensions, sup ported by the Three Graces; on either side two smaller can delabras, supported by two figures each ; also two gilt bas kets, supported by two elegant figures with beautiful artificial *flowers.- Several poreelain vases were arranged lenthways in the centre of the table, containing each a bottle of cham pagne. On each side were displayed choice wines, extending rlhe whale length of the table, coesistiog- of madoira, sherry, f)ert, claret, sautine, hock, &c. Fruits were dispersed along the table in cut glass dishes, supported on handsome gilt pedestals. At the upper end of the table were the standards of Russia and England, the former supported by an English sailor, and the latter by a Russian, in front of a handsome lamp, which had a very pleasing effect. The dinner, which was sumptuous, was served on silver dishes, in the French style, the dishes being taken round to each person to partake of. A great variety of toasts were given during the evening; evincing a cordial feeling of friendship between the officers of the two nations seldom witnessed, and nothing could sur pass the kindness, urbanity, and polite attention of the Rus sian officers to their guests. After coffee they retired to the officers' mess-room, where dancing of polkas, mazurkas, and waltzes followed each other, the magnificent band of the ship playing national and other airs the whole evening. The party s e p ara t e d a b out e l even o ' c l oc k ; as the English officers descended, to their boats they were greeted by the deafening cheers of the Russian officers and lighted by a blue light on each main deck gun, which had a beautiful effect. We last week gave an account of the dinner given on board the flag-ship H.M.S. Queen, in Plymouth Sound, to the Rus sian officers belonging to the Ingermanland and Prince of Warsaw, and we are now pleased at having it in our power to show that the good feeling evinced, and the warm wel come which they received has not failed in being fully ap preciated from the compliment returned to our own officers on Monday evening last. LATEST FROM CHINA, We have received letters from Hong-Kong by the Over land mail, and the Friend of China newspaper, of September 27th last. We regret to record the deaths of Mr. Alfred G. G. Tucker, late surgeon of H.M.S. Minden, at Hong. Kong, which took place on the 10th of September, also the death of Mr. J. Ryan, agent of the P. and 0. Steam Navigation Company, on the 2d of September. Mr. D. P. Whipple, son of Captain Whipple, R.N., of De vonshire-terrace, Plymouth,Assistaut Surgeon, was promoted on the 20th of September, to the rank of Surgeon, vice Tucker, deceased. Mr. John P. P. Cole, of Morice Town, has joined the Minden, as Clerk in Charge, superseding Mr. J. 11. Cook, Paymaster and Purser. COURT-MARTIAL—A Court-martial was held on board H.M.S. Castor, on the 20th of September at Hong-Kong, to try Mr. J. Haynes, master of the Vestal, forgetting that ship on shore at a place called Barambanzan, on the north-west coast of Borneo. 11. M. S. Castor, Captain Graham, and Driver (steam) Commander Hayes, sail tbr New Zealand to-day, and - they will take with them the hearty good wishes of the inhabitants of Hong-Kong. In this limited community, few if any, are without ..cquaintances, if not friends, on board, and from that true specimen of a British seaman, Capt. Graham, down wards, they will probably all leave those who regret their ab sence, and would gladly see their return. The ships proceed direct to Auckland, New Zealand, from whence such operations as circumstances render necessary will be directed against insurgent natives—if we may apply the term to men, on their native soil, contending for the rude liberty of barbarism ; or to fanatics, but partially acquainted with Christianity, raising a banner, believing themselves the inspired instruments of the Deity. Of the result of the in surrection there cannot be a doubt, but it may be longer pro tracted, and more destructive of life than is now anticipated. The islands are large, mountainous, and wooded with fast nesses only known to the natives, who are a bold active race. They have an abundance of arms and ammunition, and will continue probably to receive supplies from the foreign whalers who eruise oir the islands. In such a country, an invading force will labour under great difficulties—warfare becomes bush fighting, and from the gigantic fern with which the country is covered and the neces sity of carrying provisions, where there is neither stock nor game to be met with, military operations must be slow. In such a country, a desultory warfare may be protracted for years, unless a large force is sent to suppress it at once. John Bull aver underrates his foe ; but we believe that he has at length discovered that the most economical, and the most humane plan in such affairs as that of New Zealand, is to employ a large force at once. If a pacific settlement is not soon made, we expect to hear that a few regiments have been sent on from India, and probably that the native interest has been divided by concessions. The naval force will consist of the Castor, Driver, Cruizer, and Hazard; the surveying vessels, Fly and Bramble are also in those seas, though it is doubtful whether they will take any share in the warfare. The squadron will be under the command of the senior naval officer, Captain Graham, who, it is rumoured, will hoist a Commodore's 'broad pendant, it being intended to make the Australian colonies a naval station.—Friend of China, September 27th. , • Her Majeatys sloop Espiegle, 12, Commander T. P. Thom son, arrived at Hong-Kong, on the Bth of September, and the following is an extract of a letter received from one of the people on board, giving an account of the voyage after leaving the Cape of Good Hope, and of the vessel's perform ance under very trying circumstances of weather : " I am now enabled once more to sit down and write you a few lines, as we are now got in to the trade winds, and our vessel is now a little steady, which is more than she has been since she left the Cape of Good Hope. We have had nothing but gales of wind for this last month past, often ' times we have been reduced to our fore and main-staysail and close-reefed main-topsail. The sea has been moun tainous, indeed, awfully so, and our little brig, with all her hatches battened down, top-gallant masts on deck, and jib beom drawn into the bowsprit-cap, has been the sport of the waves. There was one thing in our favour, the wind was with us, and aided us on to our destination, but we could not near the Island of Desolation, as the sea and wind were both on the island, blowing a heavy gale. We then shaped our course for St. Paul's, the vessel under fore-staysail, and main-staysail, and close-reefed main-topsail, and we were then under the necessity of hauling the main-staysail down in the squalls of hail and sleet, accompanied with gusts of wind that you would think the masts would have been taken out of her. But our little vessel has behaved manfully, and is a credit to the builder, as she is enabled to do what she was designed for, to withstand the fury of the waves, and also is very easy to her rigging, as we have not had any tumbling down about our ears, nor yet any severe rubs on it. "July 21st—Anchored at St. Paul's, still carrying the wind with us. There were people on the island who waved three different flags to us, and as far as we could make out they were one Dutch, one Belgian, and one French, and they had also built a hut on the island ; but the wind being very high, and no shelter for the vessel, we were obliged to ship our anchor and cable after we had carried away our chain mes senger, and the messenger had given several of the crew a severe wipe. We slipped the cable at the fifth shackle, or at 61b fathoms of chain. We got under weigh with fore-top sail, a ir o i e l p , en s o t alvy, runnings f a o i l r , t ad d e fif before et a i n tt -nt e p he w sF min-topsail; since ew a a iwt d he uet thankleft ltohwe lower God rCapea n dtohftaotp Goodswa iel o studding-sails set, going about nine knots an hour." DARING BURGLARY NEAR ROMFORD.—The dwelling house of Jonathan Arnold, Esq., situate near the Whale bone turnpike, on the London-road, about two miles of from the town of Romford, was broken into on the night the 19th inst., and Bank of England notes to the amount of 70/. and upwards, 401. in gold, a silver watch, and other articles, were stolen. On the foll owin g morning information was given to the police, who, in the course of the day, ap ehended two men, named William Walden and Joseph Walker, who were brought up for examination before the Ilford bench on Saturday , when the following evidence was adduced :—Emma Cornwell, servant to Mr. Arn o ld, s t a t e d that on the night in question, about ten o'clock, she fail• toned up the house, and the family soon afterwards retired to rest; the following morning, about six o'clock, on go i n g down stairs, she discovered the b ac k hall door wide open ; the panel of the door had been taken out. She was very much alarmed, and imutediately went up stai rs and on being d acqu b ain n t g caledhleedr and u m p asbtyerhisservant, inistrela t went Mr. Arnoldo tai ld stated, into the parlour, and f oun d a l arge hedge-stake o n' the table. He missed from a cupboard his iron chest, which contained some valuable documents, 701. in notes, and 401. in sove reigus. On proceeding into his paddock, behind the house, he discovered his iron chest, which had been forced open and the money taken thereout ; some of the documents were left beh ind scattered about, and his dog, which was tied up overnight, lay dead. James Crawford, police-constable, de posed that he traced footmarks from the paddock across several fields, and down a lane into the garden attached to a cottage occupied by the prisoner Walker, and with whom Walden lodged; he inquired at the cottage, but neither of them were at home, and having ascertained that they were seen going towards Romford, he went there and apprehended them; he took their shoes away, and on comparing amp with the marks on the ground they corresponded. The pri soners said nothing in their defence, and were remanded for further examination—Essex Standard. SUDDEN DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.—Yesterday morning, Miss Chinnock, daughter of the house agent, of Regent-street, was found dead in her bed at the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. Preston, tailor , of. Now Bond-street. The deceased, who was only in her twentieth year, had been on a visit to her brother for a few days , and appeared in the full enjoyment of health and spirits. On Saturday night she retired to rest as usual, and yesterday morning, not making her appearance at the breakfast-table, the servant was sent to her bedroom to ascertain the cause, when she found th e deceased in bed, her co untenance as placid as though in the enjoyment of a sound sleep, but on approaching closer she found her to be quite dead. A surgeon was sent for, who pronounced life . to have been for some time extinct. The body awaits anmqu est. The following is a copy of an advertisement which appeared in an American paper :—" Made their escape, a husband's affections. They disappeared immediately on see ing his with with her hands and face unwashed at breakfast." ~~.~ ~k 100 100 100 100 150 '
