SlR,—Having read in your excellent Riper, a letter contradicting an assertion relating to Siiirt•making— as your paper is so ea ger ly soug ht, and read with so much avidity in this county in general, and in these towns in particular, we should feel exttemely obliged by the insertion of the following, which, perhaps, is more explicit, for we think it necessary that the public should be undeceived in this matter. Ie consequence of humane Editor of the Hamp shire Telegraph having exposed the advantege which was taken of the poor of these towns by these Shirt Manufacturers, Mr. Knight, of Queen-street, Port sea, (who is one of them,) wrote a letter in reply thereto, which appeared in the above paper of the 21st ult.— a letter containing as gross assertions as ever were written by the hand of man. He asserts, " Now, Sir, I will tell you what the honest and industrious poor can do,—nay, what they do actually perform : one woman can easily earn 6s. per week by m Acing shirts at 10d. per dozen, &c." Surely, Sir, tliepublic must know this to ba impossible. We grant it could be done, provided they were " tacked" tope but the superior manner in which the workis required to be executed, precludes the possibility of it ; and we beg to appeal to the judgment of a reasonable and dis. corning public, whether it is not so. We would offer the following instance, among many, which may be taken as the full extent of the earnings of each person who devotes her whole time to this lucra tive employment. There are a mother and, her three daughters (women)—a f a mily of unblemished' character (not " immoral, lazy, gin-spinning women, " as Mr. Knight said, in endeavouring to excuse him self, were the parties who complained of their oppressions and sufferings to the above editor), who devote their whole time and attention to that work, and, after their united and utmost exertions, cannot accomplish more than the making of five bundles (each containing nine, for which they have Is. 9d.), amounting in all to Bs. 9d. for four women— the earnings of a week spent• in fatigue and weariness; and when a woman has her domestic dutie; to attend to (which must be very partial indeed), it is with muck dyficully she can earn ls. in that time. So much for the ". Immense Benefit (as Mr. Knight terms it) to our poor population !" He certainly is a very considerate man, but he takes care that the " benefit" shad be cei his own side : from such considerate men, and "imm , nse benefits," may Heaven deliver us ! Howevei, it would indeed be an " immerse benefit " to the poor, if those assertions were true ; most heartily do we wish they were ; but as the thin , has been so egregiously misrepresented we feel it our duty to contra dict it, because such assertions from a man who is con sidered a respectable tradesman, are calculated to be prejudicial to the poor,—and the Lord knows they are oppressed too much as it is.— We are, Sir, Very respectfully your's, A PARTY OF SIIIRTMAKERS. Portsmouth, Feb. 18, 1839. EXETER.---"WEDNESDAY. We have had a Pro-Corn-law meeting here, which has just closed, at two o'clock a rri. As the mail starts almost immediately, I have., only time to give you a brief note of the proceedings arid the ori , !in of the me Aing, merely pre mising that your friends, the Chartists, arc absolute wags, for they broke into our meeting With an attempt to oppose the eern-growers and cl.eaper bread—Lin the North, I be. lieve, they support the corr.-growers and the dear loaf. The agriculturists of Devon are mostly united in an attempt to uphold the present Corn-laws, in which they are generally supported by the superior class of traders, who depend very much upon• the agricultural community for their subsistence, and who are now experiencing the fruits of the comfortable state of things which the farmers at present enjoy. It was thought advisable' to call a county meeting in support of the Corn-laws, but this was aban doned, from a dread that the Exeter artizans would out number the agriculturists ;so it was determined at a meet ing should be held in the Corn Exchange- to-day, which being Flir day would enure a full attend ince of yeomanry and others. Accordingly the meeting took place. Sir T. T. F. E. DRAKE, Bart., was called to the chair. He briefly opened the bu , iness by stating the object of the meeting, and v xpressing a belief that the Corn. laws had ex ist-•d for centur'e;. BALDWIN FULFORD, jun , Esq., flint proposed a reso lu:i,m, approving of the present system, which he pre faced by an ab'e review of the arguments put forth ly the landlords, contending that the manufacturers wore but a minority, and that the agriculturists ought not to h we their int•reassaeriticed to their imaginary conveniencL , , f,r he denied that the repeal of the Corn-laws would serve even the views of the manufacturer, who would ruin the home ma , ket. •S. T. K,kewich, Esq., Mr. Trood, L. W. Buck, Esq., H. Northente, Esq., and J. Garrett, Esq., formerly Lord Mayor of London, but now a Tory 'Squire, also addressed the meeting, when a petition was adopted, &c., praying the cor.tinu4nce of the present law. Mr. KEKEWICH spoke with great spirit and effect, but there was nothing, new in his arguments. About one o'clock a Chartist party appeared at the meeting —the first that has shown at any public meeting in Exeter. They interrup d the business with " Three cheers for a che.►p loaf," '► Three cheers for Feargus O'Connor," " Three cheers for Stephens, the Poor Man's Friend ;" and they kept up their cheering in very success ful style, to tile great annoyance of the agriculturists, who, ho.vevpr, carried their .petitions, resolutions, &c., by an overwhelming majority. About 300 persons were present. The muster of the agriculturists was very influential. HAMBURG PAPERS. CIIRISTIANIA, FEB. 3.--The Kilg continues to enjoy excellent heal►h. In the festivities on occasion of hig birth-day ; and his fete (Saint's-day), the 26th and 28:h January, his Majesty received here, and in the whole kingdom. the most unequivocal proofs of the affection and veneration of all classes. We look forward with joy to tl,e arrival of the Queen next month. The Storthing met the day before yesterday. There were 99 Members. Count Wedel Tarlsberg being still hindered by the Government from leaving home, the King has held a Council in his house, at which several important matters were arranged, and communications to the Storthing ■greed on. HAMBURGH, FEB. 12.—1 n spite of the quantity of float ing ice on the river sixteen of the ships that are lying at Cuxhaven have succeeded, by favour of a pretty strong south-west wind, in corning up to the city. HANOVER, FEB. 12.—The Prince of Bertheim Tecklen burg (an officer in the Prussian service) spent the day here yesterday. M Kruger, Professor of Painting to the Prussian Court; left us yesterday ; he has taken with him the portraits of the King and the Crown Prince, sa Moll he has begun, and also portrait sketches fur a large picture representing his Majesty on horSeback surrounded by his Aids-de-Camp, which he will paint at Berlin. The Crown Prince is now so far recovered that he walks or rides out every day ; but his Rlal Highness must not t tend concei ts, the theatres, liege companies, &c. The Kin. - is perfectly recovered from his indisposition. frANoVER, FEB. 15.—Lieutenant-General Hartman, celebrated for his eminent services in Spain, Member of the late Privy Council, and Chief of the Artillery, has been passed over in the forming :ef the new Council of State. It is said that he will tender his resignation on the approaching celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of his military service. He declined the elevation to the ran of Baron, offered him by the late Government, and was al lowed by the late King to add to his arms the motto, Treu end Fest. As the energy and activity of this able General are by no mans impaired, his retirement will be much regretted. FRONTIERS Of MONTENEGRO, JAN. 24.—The Visier of Bosnia and Herzegowina, and the Vladika of Monteneg:o, have made a new conventian respecting the territory of Grabowo, the first having beep rejected. It was signed on the 22nd of December, 1838, but as the Vladika has re ceived the satisfaction of Russia, the document was immediately sent to the Russian Ambassador at Constanti. nople, to be forwarded to St. Petersburgh.

Adcy 579 Majority for Mr. Wakiey --1,413 On the announcement of the state of the poll, Mr. ADEY came forward, and said that he felt it incum bent on him to withdraw from the contest. Mr. WAKLEY then came forward amid loud cheers, and said that Low he had succeeded in the contest, he certainly should not speak disparagingly of his opponent. He be lieved that Mr. Adey had been ilhadvised, and that the votes which he had got were those, not of his friends, but of his (Mr. Wakley's) deadly enemies. He thanked the people who had elected him. They should find that he (Mr. Wakley) would not be a mere clerk in the discharge of his duties, but that he would assert all the rights of his office, which he knew to be a most important one. Though his opponent had withdra,in, he could not, by law, be de clared elected until Monday next, at which time he would pin add' ess them. After sonic further observations he retired, amidst loud cheers. ANTI CORN-LAW DELEGATES. The Delegates met as usual yesterday at Brown's Hotel. J. B. SMITII, Esq., in the Chair. Among the Members of Parliament present we observed Mr. Tancred, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Thornely, Sir G. Strickland, Mr. Scholefield, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr; Villiers, Mr. Ward, Mr. Hume, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Woolryche Whitmore, Mr. Dennistoun, Mr. Raikes Curry, Mr. Baines. Earl Fitzwilliam came in at the close of the proceedings. The Chairman directed that the names of the Delegates should be called over, when the following Gentlemen answered to their names: —l.e,rd Nugent, and Messrs. Smith, Walker, Walmsley, Johnson, Weir, Baines, Stansfield, Wilson, T. Wilson, Parker, Sturge, Taylor, Young, Millage, Garnet, the Mayor of Birmingham, Langdon, Johnlton, Wotter, Wyn, Cobden, Bear, Biggs, Boultbee, Evvart, Ainsworth; and Kynaston. The Hon. Mr. Murray was also present, loJt not as a Delegate. The CHAIRM4N did root consider it desirable to enter hastily into any discussioc on the important subject which had brought them together, and, therefore, after a vote of thanks had been proposed to Mr. Villiers, for his able con duct last night in the House of Coinmons, they would proceed to move an adimrnment until to-morrow. He would, however, mention that a letter had been received from Manchester, stating that thirty-four of the mu owners of that place had come to a resolution to work only four days a-week, in consequence of the present de pressed state of the manufacturing interest. A letter had also been received, stating that seven mills had commenced working short time (eight hours daily) at Preston, and that five had commenced working short time at Oldham last week. Lord NUGENT said that although it was at all times disagreeable to trouble a meeting like the present with matters which had merely a per sonal application to himself; yet he .felt called upon to advert to what had taken place at a former meeting of the Delegates. He had seen a report of that meeting only yesterday. Ha was detained at home yes terday, but he had come here to-day. In consequence of havir ' , read that report, from which he gathered that allu sions had been made to him (Lord Nugent) ; in reply to which, his friends Mr. Young, Sir Benjamin Hall, and Mr. Boultbee, were kind enough to say what they were con vinced were his ( Lord Nugent's) intentions in reference to the motion of which he had given notice—in consequence of what those gentlemen bad' felt themselves called upon to say on the subject, he felt convinced that certain insinua tions must have been thrown out, reflecting upon his sin cerity.—( Cries of " No, no.") He would not speak to this meeting of the sincerity with which he had always advocated the cause of the repeal of the Corn-laws.— ( Hear.) He would not speak on a subject so ungracious for him to allude to as his own sincerity—( Hear, hear) in the cause of Corn-law repeal, neither would he appeal to the sacrifices he had all his life made as an earnest of that sincerity.—(Loud cheers.) He did not consider that such insinuations should have been indulged in in his absence, it was neither fair nor manly to indulge in such insinuations. He rose merely to ask if any gentleman thought it ne cessary to ask him any qnestions relative to the motion of which he had given notice for to- morrow. He did not believe that any gentleman in 'his presence would accuse him of insincerity, and he would not make use of the lan guage he should feel himself called on to use in character ising such proceedings in his absence while the ease re mained a hypothetical one.—( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said that he thought the Noble Lord must labour under some misapprehension as to what had taken place on the occasion alluded to.—(Hear, hear.) Lord NUGENT observed that what he had said arose from his having read in the report of the proceedings of the Delegates in The Sun, what had fallen , from his friends, Mr. Young, Sir B. Hall, and Mr. Boultbee, who all bore testimony to his (Lord Nugent's) sincerity, which testimony would have been uncalled for, had not some doubt as to his sincerity been insinuated by some preceding speaker. The CHAIRMAN said that he never recollected any such insinuations having been thrown out. Mr. G. A. YOUNG said that he had spoken on that occasion rather from an anxiety to prevent the application of anything which might have been said, to the proceed ings of his Noble Friend, than from any well-grounded reason for imagining that any observations which might have been made had been intended to apply to his Noble Friend. He trusted the Delegates would attribute what had fallen from him on that occasion to the extreme anx iety under which he laboured that those who sent them there should be satisfied with their conduct. He had heard reports out of doors which, coupled with what had fallen from certain gentleman here, had induced him to make the observations he had made. He had now no doubt, from what he had since heard, that those observations had never been intended to apply in the man ner which had seemed to him to call for ex planation. It was not his wish to excite dissension in the body of the Delegates, and his only Teethe for acting in the way he had done was to prevent misapprehension. The CHAIRMAN regretted that the Noble Lord should have laboured under this misapprehension. He bu.gged to assure the Noble Lord that nothing had ever passed in his (the Chairman's) presence which seemed to afford just grounds for the misapprehension under abich he ( Lord Nugent) seemed to labour. He thought it was hardly fair of Mr. Young to make use of statements out of doors in this manner ; and he was 'quite sure, if any such insinua tion had been thrown out, from what he had seen of the Noble Lord, that nothing could be more unjust o- un founded.—( Cheers.) Lord NUGENT said, that after what had passed, be would no longer detain the meeting with matters personal to himself, but would merely state, that in giving the notice of motion which he had given for to-morrow, he had been actuated by a desire to forward the important object in which they all felt so great a concern.—( Cheers. ) Mr. BOULTREE then rose amid loud cries of " Order," and was about to enter into some explanation, when, at the suggestion of the Chairman and some DeleOtes, he sat down, and the ordinary business of the meeting - was proceeded with as usual. Mr. COBDEN wished to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Villiers for his very able and eloquent speech.—( Hear, hear.) He was sati-fied that every member of the Delega tion felt most grateful, for the ability with which Mr. Vila Hers stated their case to the House of Commons on Tues day evening.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. JOHNSTONE seconded the motion, which was carried with acclamation. Mr. JOHNSON, of Derby, said that considering the im portance of the case, and the assistance which their cause had received in the House, he thought they were bound to pass a vote of thanks, which he accordingly moved, to Mr. Strutt, the seconder of the motion, and the 171 gentlemen who voted in the minority.---(Cheers.) Mr. STUMM then moved an adjournment of the Dele gates until 11 o'clock to-morrow, because he thought they ought not to enter upon any discussion hastily.--( Hear, hear ) The Delegates could meet to-morrow at 11, and have a free discussion among themselves previous to their meeting at 3 o'clock. He would also move that the fol lowing gentlemen be appointed to prepare a report of the past proceedings of the Delegates, naming Mr. Cobden, Mr. Weir, Mr. Walmsley, and Dr. Bowling. The mo tion having been seconded by Mr. Biggs, it was agreed to, and the Committee adjourned. Colonel Gore Langton paired off with mr. Byng, M. F, for Middle sex , in favour of Mr. Vi l l iers's motion on the Corn-laws. A PARSON AT FAULT.--A worthy clergyman in the neighbouring parish of Bushbury, on Sunday last, after the Ant part of the service was gone through, ascended the pulpit to deliver his sermon, when he found, to his dismay, that, though he pos sessed the case, his sermon had, by some accident, been left at home, at such a distance as rende. ed getting it impossible. The cozgrtv4on Syrs 5 t herefore, dismissed in the usual form.—Staffbrd shire Examiner. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS. FEB. 17. —The greatest reproach that can be addressed to the Government, is that of betraying the country and sacrificing the national honour. But this ap pears to us to be absurd : if the Ministers have committed faults, no body is more interested than they in repairing them; and if they yield to the intimidation of the Con ference, it is because they see the impossibility of resisting, for they are batter able to know what is passing than the declaimers of the press and the tribunal, and what they do; what they propose, is evidently to serve the whole by re nouncing a part. There is not the slightest idea of trea son, nor can there be any. The fact is this, the question now is "To be, or not to be." All recriminations are su pe►fluous, useless, injurious, the country suffers; it desires a solution ; but it desires the best possible, the safest, and it will not stake its last resources, its last hope, with the certainty of losing all. The King and — Queen arrived to-day at the Palace in Brussels from Laeken.

BRUSSELS, FEB. Grouwels, a Cabinet Mes senger, set out for London the evening before 3 esterday, after a Council of Ministers, in which the report was dis cussed, that is to be read to-morrow in the Chamber of Reprusentwires by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. _ _ The messenger is expected to be hick on Tuesday morning. Immediately after the decision of the Cham bers—a decision, the pacific nature of which cannot be doubted, numerous furloughs will be granted to the work men and country people who have been called under arms. It is even said that the whole of the reserve will be sent to their homes. Thus the wish would be complied with which' have been so urgently expressed by the manufac turing and agriculturalpopulwion, alarmed at the approach of the season when their labours should be resumed, while they are deprived of their most useful hands. It is atlirmed that the definitive resolutions of the Go vernment, which will be laid before the Chamber to-mor row, consists in a project of law, resembling, in substance, that which was voted in 1831, authorising the King to sign the defini ive Treaty of Separation.— Courrier Beige.

The hurricane, which had raged for two days, overthrew at half-past eight in the morning of the 16th the steeple of the church of Beringen, a little village about three miles from the camp at Beverloo. The soldiers quartered there were on the parade, and it was Said - that several of them had, been killed. There is a school for young children, which was crushed by the steeple in its fall. The most of the children were on the parade to hear the band of the re giment; twelve of them, however, were buried under the ruins. The soldiers, consisting of three companies of the 2d Regiment made the greatest exertions at the peril of their lives to save the victims. More than 70 persons owe their lives. to them. M. Dumortier has published a very long letter, in which we (the Courrier Beige) merely regret that he has not pre served the calm and decisive tone which we find in the whole of his celebrated pamphlet, which did not a little contribute to cause it to ba read and .appreciated by the most eminent men in Europe. • Yesterday evening, between seven and eight, several hundred persons, among whom we observed many strangers, assembled in the Place de Maryrs. After singing songs, and uttering some cries indicated by their well known leaders, the assemblage divided into two groups, one of which went and surrounded the tree of liberty in the Place de la Monnaie, where various cries were uttered, some crying Yive le Roi, others Down with the King, rather than the dismemberment. Five of the latter were arrested, hand cuffed, and carried off after a slight resistance, which was instantly put down by the gend'armes. An attempt was made to put up some proclamations to the arwy, but with out success; the police did their duty. We have no in formation respecting the second group, which, perhaps, was employed in pasting up the numerous placards which are put up during the night, but which the well disposed people pull down in the morning. Threats were uttered in places of public resort against several Deputies and against our Journal. We are prepared for the chances of an attack ; let the Deputies defend the liberty of the Tribune, as we shall defend the liberty of the Press; and the Anarchists will not have the advantage of putting the country in a flame without resistance. —Courtier Beige.

Of those upwards of 4 000 were furnisi ed by London and its environs. Recruiting is still going on very btlakly,, THE COAL TRADE. The overthrow of the northern combination is of para mount importance ; all the evils existing in the other branches of the trade, spring therefrom. The combina tion is the source from whence all the mischief flows ; by it competition is destroyed, and without competition it is vain to look fur any material and continued reduction of prices. The public, being thoroughly informed of these facts, must never for a moment forget that it is upon them selves they must rely for rescue from the oppression of which they so loudly complain. Separate individual exer tions, however strenuous and well-applied, will avail nothing in the cause, without general and cordial co-ope ration ; but combined operations, under skilful directions, will insure a glorious victory. The coalowners are al ready looking for the 9.h of November, with the hope thst future Chief Magistrates of the city of London will not follow in the steps of the present Lord Mayor. And this is a very natural expectation—not because the interest and importance of the subject will cease with the preset year, or because the public can ever close their eyes again upon the main fact which has been clearly ascertained, " that, ithout the overthrow of the combination, no permanent advantage can be secured ;" but because the true source of all the evils of the trade was never before so generally comprehended; and if this knowledge do not now lead to the adoption of effective measures for the immediate defeat and final overthrow of the monopoly, it will be a natural inference that at no future period is the public energy likely to be aroused so as to attain these objects, and con sequently that no future Lord Mayor would enter upon so truly arduous an undertaking. Many of the great coal owners arc now in London, and may readily ascertain (if they have any doubts) with what incense interest the coal trade has been canvassed and in vestigated by all classes of society, from the mansion of the wealthy to the wretched tenement of the poor; and they will that at no preceding period was it so well understood. Much as these Right lion. and lion. Lords and Gentlemen may affect indifference to the free inquiries which have lately taken place, they must arrive at the same conclusious as we have done-Ist, That howeverfrequently the supply of coals oecupied attention upon former occasions, its compli cated arrangements were but little understood ; and, 2d, that never before has the stream of public opinion set so decidedly into one channel. The waters have risen against the great dam of monopoly; they have swelled against it, until at length the period has arrived when even the engineers who main tain it must tremblingly perceive that the slightest addi tional pressure must overthrow the artificial boundary, and, with their combination, the waters, in returning to their natural channel, will wash away the other impediments which have so long obstructed the free trade and opfn competition. Never was a period so auspicious for this consummation of our wishes, and, if it be not now accom plished, the coalowners will, indeed, have good ground to hope tbat, although sentence has been decreed, and the death warrant drawn up, it will never receive the signature of the public. For our pas, we have a film reliance that the year 1839 will be recorded in the futur nistory of London as memorable for the extinction of a tax upon her inhabitants amounting to little short of a million sterling per annum, which fell with peculiar severity upon the la bouring and industrious classes of the community. The owners of collieries not in the combination are actively engaged. A very superior description of coal nas, we understand, been supplied to the Mansion House ey way of Liverpool, from the extensive collieries of Messrs. Hilton, of Ince Hall, near Wigan, who have expressed their determination to compete with their northern neigh boors. A gentleman from that firm waited upon his Lord ship, and informed him that they were now raising 500 tons per day, but when their arrangements were complete they would raise 1,000, and be able to deliver them in London at: 225. per ton. We shall be able shortly to state the extent of the great competition which will soon present itself from different parts of the island to the monopoly.— Observer. ENCOUNTER WITH PIRATES. (From the Ba;badoes Liberal.) The following account of a bloody encounter with these freebooters of the sea is contained in a letter lately received by Captain Jenkins, of Truro, from his gallant son H.M.S. Wolf, August 18, Bay of Bengal. " You will be surprised when I tell you I am now doing duty as First Lieutenant, not having one Lieu tenant left. We have had some desperate fighting lately with the pirates of Trimgana, close to the gulf of fromlast May, th observed sooio six ne a larger Borneo, boats, a attack a largeean:e Siam, China Sea. Whilst at anchor there in a calm, islan 'e d of China junk of' 700 tons. It being a perfect calm, the ship could not move, and, being desirous Of active service, I prevailed on Captain Stanley to allow me to proceed in our boats, and rescue the junk, if possible. On my way, we fell in with the H. C. steamer Diana, who took us in tow ; the sea breeze then setting in, we steamed and sailed as fast as we could after them. The Diana is a small vcs , el, armed with a long cross twelve, and manned with thirty Malays.. I had about thirty-six as fine fellows as ever went on a cutting,out expedition. On approaching within long gun-shot, the pirates left the junk, and formed a close line on the starboard tack, we passing them without firing, on the larboard to leeward. Wl,- , n some distance off, th..y made a signet, and all closel for about a quarter of an hour, when they cut their stern boats away, and bore right down upon us, as we thought with the intention of covering the junk, but I soon saw that we were their objects, as they com menced firing from their headmost boat. We then gave them 'grape and cannister, right and left, The slaughter was immense, as we could see them throwing their dead bodies overboard, and baling the blood out of their boats by buckets full. Their own list taken in court, on oath, by the prisanclrs. is as follows : Killed 54 ; wounded, 82 I and 27 pri soners in the beat I captured, wherein 11 were killed. The Court has awarded us the following head money : —For 54 killed, 201. each ; 27 prisoners, all of whom are condemned to be hung, 201. oaoh ; and .5/. a-piece. for the 82 wounded, making altogether 2,8301. The ship shares the same as those engaged, and my share as a mate will be about 551. We had a most splendid dinner given us by the ipinibitanA of Wingapore. Capt. Stanley was voted a sword of the value of 100 guineas, to be presented to him on his arrival in England. I have a most splendid crecse, which belonged to the chief of the pirates, who Iva; cut in two - by a round shot i the hindle is made pf iypry and gold. We en gaged the pirates from two o'clock until dark, when we lost them in a squall.

" The Carnval here has begun with unwonted brilliancy, and on no former occasion have we witnessed a greater display of public mirth and private festivity. Already two grand fetes have taken place.

Nothing could exceed the admiration excited by the scene the throwing open of the great Ball Room pre sented, when the Polonaise commenced, led on by the Grand Duke, in full Cossack uniform, with the Noble Hoste , s, followed by the Crown Prince of Bavaria, with Lady Mary Talbot; and a galaxy of beauty and fashion, displaying the most varied and gorgeous costumes. Dancing - immediately succeeded, into which the Royal guests entered with inexhaustible spirit, until the supper rooms were opened. In the first a splendid table was pre pared for the Royal Princes, Ambassadors, &c ; and at the conclusion of this splendid banquet, dancing was re newed with redoubled zest, and the brilliant fete ended by a spirited co , illon, which was kept up till a late hour.

CORN-LAWS. GREAT PUBLIC MEETING AT PLYMOUTH FOR THE REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. Last Friday one of the most crowded meetings which ever assembled in the Guildhall, met for the pur pose of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn laws. The Mayor (GRoaax SOLTAIT, Esq.) took the chair a little after twelve o'clock, and liming read the requisition which was most numerously and respectably signed, ex pressed his conviction of the deep importance of the sub ject, as affecting the welfare of so large and deserving a portion of the community—the manufacturing classes. He called upon the meeting to enter into the consideration of the subject, calmly and dispassionately, and strongly urged the importance of merging all party or political feeling in the discussion of the subject before them. Captain Piimurs, IL N., opened the meeting by stating that they were met for the purpose of adopting a petition to Parliament for the repeal of the present obnoxious and cruel Corn-laws. The resolution he should propose to them would be to substitute a very moderate fixed duty ; but it would be open for the meeting to receive an amend ment either for a total repeal of the duty—or a moderate duty, decreasing every year—he should not say to which of these alterations his sentiments inclined, but confine him self to an exposure of the ruinous consequences of the present system to the manufacturing interests, upon which the welfare of the country mainly depended; they were told that wages rose in proportion to the price of corn. Ile would ask, was it so?—( Loud cries of " No, no.") In 1806 the price of wheat was 365. a quarter, and wages were 10s. a week—in 1838 wheat was 78s. a quarter, and had wages doubled ? It was a mockery to make such a propo sition. This was a question between the landowners and the public. Now, the number of the former might be es timsted at about 100,000, the latter at about twenty-five millions. Were the interests of such a majority to be sa crificed to such a minority 2 He would tell the meeting that, if the manufacturers were to be sacrificed to the landed pro.. prietors, England would dwindle down into the insiguifi. cance of a petty Italian state. The capital and machinery would be very soon removed to the banks of the Elbe at d elsewhere ; and then a foreigner, coming into England, and inquiring for Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Shef field, and Liverpool, would find them little better than de serted villages. He begged to propose that a petition be presented to both Houses of Parliament. Dr. HAMILTON rose, and having ably defended himself and fellow-requisionists from the charge of having im properly taken tl:a lead in this cause, and denounced the apathy of those who, whilst they accused him and his friends of unbecoming zeal, had exhibited the roost inglo rious indifference up to the eleventh hour —nay, the very twelfth hour—entered upon a brief history of the Corn law, which he divided into seven well marked epochs, tracing it from its introduction, in the reign of Ed. ward the Third, in 1360, down to 1828, when, through the active exertion of the present Noble Secretary far the Colonial Department, the graduated aeale of duties now in operation was intredued by the 9th of George IV., chap. 00., which, although meant in kind ness, had been as injurious in its results to all clam:, as the worst of its predecessors—a fact fully established by an examination of the annual prices and fluctuations under it, the range of which appeared to have reached 113:1 per cent, Upon examining the official returns of our exports for the three consecutive yea ts, 1836, 1817, and 1838, he found a decrease in the value of the exports of six of the staple products of our industry to no less an extent than 13,714,83-11. These six branches of industry wore as follow : Cotton manufactured goods £8,736,802 Linen ditto ditto Wool and Woollens ......... 2,910,382 Cutlery and Hardware 419,349 Silk manufactured goods... 364,964 Hats 26,946 X 13,714,634 While, to counterbalance this decrease, we have an increase of 2,625 8541. in the export of raw materials, mills, and machinery, which go is facilitate the competition with our manufacturers ; cotton wool to produce iivals to the Glas gow and Manchester looms ; linen yara to be converted into Holland to undersell the manufacturers of Belfast; mills and machinery, with coals and culm to set them going ; our workmen are also become an article of ex port; the master manufacturers soon must follow t an d i n the end landlords will find their produce unsaleable from the want of custo ners, those who remain behind being too poor to buy, and Britain--proud and haughty fallen from her high estate, no longer holding the balance between contending nations, will sink, as a mere agricul tural nation, into insignificance, and end her glory by be coming the dependent vassal of ome Continental Power. The Doctor concluded a powerful and convincing speech by seconding the motion. The meeting was then addressed by Thomas Fox, Esq., Thomas Gill, Esq., Joseph Treiey, Esq., and several others, and a petition adopted, pra)ing for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and the substitution of a very low perma nent duty. An attempt was made to support the present system, but the speaker was unable to obtain a hearing, and a member of the Working Man's Association likewise failed in endeaveuring to turn the attention of the meeting feom the abolition of the Corn laws to that of the present state of the Suffrage. One unanimous sentiment pre vailed, that of inextinguishable opposition to the present and ruinous system of corn taxation. CORONER'S INQUEST UPON MR. PACY, OF THE TEMPLE. Last evening, at 9 o'clock, an inquisition was taken be fore Mr. Baker, at the Cress Keyt, Belton -street, Long acre, upon the body of James Pacey, Esq., aged 43, of No. 7, King's Bench walk, Temple, a gentleman of for tune, who was educated for the bar, but did not follow his profession.

Sir—Being a short time siece favoured with a copy of a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, for the establish ment of a day Mail along the important line to Limerick, which can be so easily accomplished by availing of the Li merick day Coach, which leaves Dublin every morning, and anxious to facilitate the intercourse throughout Ireland, our Mr. Johnstone having waited on Colonel:Maberly, Secre tary to the General Post . Office, when in L on d on l ast week, with a view of ascertaining the disposition of that department on the subject, which is expressed in the en closed letter to the merchants of your and the adjoin ing, counties, we have to request the favour of its inser tion in the Leinster Express of Saturday, as th e best medium for our apprising our kind supporters—the public—of the result of our efforts. Still w e f on dl y ant i - cipatc the day is not far distant, when the public's wishes will be granted, if they only pursue the old adage—of a long pull—a s!ror.g pull—and a pull altogether. In con clusion, were a ,lay Mail to Limerick cstablished-481icurs would be saved in the correspondence between the metro polis and the nuznufitcheriny districts. Assuring you of our ardent desires on these important points, we remain most truly, Your obedient servants, JOHNSTON and Co. Express Newspaper Agents, Eden- quay. Dublin, February 13:11, 1839. To the Merchants, Traders and Landholders, of the Counties of Carlow, Wicklow, Kildare, Wexford, Wa terford, Kilkenny, King's and Queen's Counties. Gentlemen—We had the honour to receive from R. Cassidy, Esq., on the 4th ult., a copy of your Memorial to the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury, praying for the esta blishment of a day mail to obviate the great and unwar rant, d detention in Dublin of the English correspondence on the great southern lines of road, for a period of no less than thirteen hours, thereby to facilitate the internal in. tercourse of the several towns in the above counties; at the same time, Mr. C. was pleased to request our co operation towards effecting the foregoing object. We respectfully beg leave to acquaint )ou, we did not lose sight of your wishes in reference theveto.— Our Mr. Johnston. when in London last week, malt in., our usual sessional arrangements, waited cn Araberly on the subject, and the only answer he could get, or extract from the Gallant Colonel was, tha,_ the existing intercourse was " under consideration"._ this be, Mr. J., submitted was no satisfaction to the Irish interests, to which the Colonel again replied—such " were under consideration, and that he could give no they answer." From the tone and manner of the gallant eretary, it is perfectly evident, that there is only one course to adopt, to coerce that most important of all other public departments to depart from their " time imme morial" system, to give the Irish interests those advan tages that the increasing prosperity of this country DE. IkIAND, which can be complied with, at little inconvenience, and but trifling cost; and that course is to PETITION ! PETITION ! ! PETITION ! I ! AGITATE! AGITATE!! AGITATE!!! For the Post-office have ample evidence both by individual remonstrance and convincing proofs at individual expense, of the practicability of adopting our suggestion s for the improvement of inland intercourse with not only the metro polis, but also the manufaetut ing districts, pubtidted a short time since in the Leinster Express, u n d er the head of " Things as they ought to be." As the most convenient mode of acqu a i nt i ng you of our endeavours in suppo- t cf y our views —we address y ou through the columns of the Leinster Ex p ress. the honour to subscribe ourselves, Gentlemen, your obtiged and very obedient servants, JOHNSTON & CO Dublin, February 13th, 1839 Newspaper A gents, Eden -quay, TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES, SIR,—We are extremely anxious for the improvement of the Poet-office communication between the metropolis and Ireland, by that department ava ili ng i tself of the rail way to Liverpool and first-class steam-boats thenc e to Dublin, whereby the present route of the Irish mails by Holyhead would be anticipated by several hours. But in• dividual remonstrance, vouched by the most convincing proofs, we regret much to be obliged to state, cannot in duce the authorities of that most important public offic e t o deviate from their "time immemorial" system, to the adopt. inn of any suggestions for the advancement of the public's interest, even to the anticipating by several hours of the existing arrangements—namely, were they to adopt Liver.. pool (in connection - with the railway) in preference to Ifolyhead. We have been in close correspondence on thn'..port.ant o p int with the Post-office, and our (ir. Johnston) . ... b em , ir:) in London last week, waited on Colo ne l M a b erley on the subject, and the only answer he could get, or extract from the Gallant Colonel, was, that it was " under considera fon." This he respectfully submitted was no satisfaction to the Irish interests, to which the Colonel again replied it was "under consideration ; and that he could give no other answer." Mr. Johnston then observed that the practica bility and superiority of the Liverpool route (per rziilway), over Holyhead, had been before proved and tested by us, and as the tides at Liverpool for the present week would serve late, and the steam traders consequently would sail thence to Dublin, after the arrival of the London morning mail train—that as Parliament is now sitting, and the news of much greater interest than when our former experiments were made, we should avail ourselves thereof, to show up with greater effect the expediency of our plan (which unhild be attended with much greater advantage by the acce leration of the present railway travelling) over the Post office arrangements, and their absurd perseverance therein. To the point ;.--This morning, at Sli minutes past 9 o'clock, we received by the City of Dublin Steam Packet C3o.ensitpeara'y morning, and a Queen Vi c : or i a , the Times of (trading) boa s t er the ved immediately to th e P ress and all the pubs lie news-rooms, &c. ; whereas the portion thereof that si 0 g o t through the Post-office—to better test the. fact —did not arrive at the' General Post office in Dublin, with the aid of a l s e pe v e in ia g l train from Kingst on , till 2 0 minutes past 3 p. m., a the balance in favour of Liverpool of 5 hours 25 minutes I!1 and with this important advantage, that the arrival per Liverpool embraced the whole of the business hours of the merchants, whereas from the very late arrival of the Lon don express mail, and the due sorting thereof, it 3 contents could not be pdaisspta3teoli,ecdlocfokr),nseaayr 2aon mhoiunruteasfteprasitts,;:t.p.%iii:t, (20 minutes when the exchanges and banks are closed, and most of the merchants have gone home from their countinghouses, and the business of the day virtually over: further, by the time the London express mail reached the General 'Post ale° the Times of yesterday was then fully 30 miles from Dublin to the south of Ireland by the ordinary Cork mid day mail, which city it would reach for business hours oiso, and seven hours at least in advance of the express mornino watt. We trust that this matter, of such important interest to Ireland and to the London press, will be taken up by, a n d 4foluation loudly called for in the columns of, the Times. One more remark, and we have done. During the severe weather and westerly gales of last month we had at one time court Holyhead mails due and only one Liverpool. At the same time, while we in Dublin can enjoy a d ou b le line of communication to London, both via Liverpool and the usual route by Holyhead, yet we in Dublin cannot ex • perience from the authorities of St. Martin's-le -Grand a reciprocal accommodation, as no other route will be reco,7„_ m'zed from London for Dublin than by Holyhead, while the whole south of Ireland have the option of receiving their letters and newspapers (if so addressed) by Milford and Waterford, or by Dublin, as they please. Apologizing for the great length we have been compelled to run this to, yet we trust its importance will plead our excuse, servantsand wo remain, Si r , your obliged and very Agents.ve.ryobedient EJOHNSTON and cco , Eden-quay, Dublin, Feb. 13. LONDON JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. The General Half• Yearly Meeting of this Company was held at the London Tavern yesterday. The Report, which recommended that the efforts to procure an extension of the time allowed by the A ct for compl e ti ng t h e purc h ases, shou ld be discontinued till next, session, was read. 1 The SOLICITOR to the Company stated that as a great ' number of Shareholders had not paid up their share s it would be useless to apply to Parliame n t t hi s session' And at the close of last ses s i on a new standing order: had been established in the house of Commons, requirinn• that personal application should be made to.cach land: holder and lessee on the line, the expense of which, b e _ tween 2.0001. and 3,000/., the Directors did not thi n k it right to incur. —(Hear, hear.)
