LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, • TN answer to inquiries from various parts of the X country, as to the propriety of dealers who have adopted the sale of our LIQUEUR GINGER BRANDY, retailing it at the rate of 20s. per gallon, we are of opinion that, considering the cost of carriage, and other expenses to which country dealers are sub ject, such charge is not unreasonable, especially in case of credit : and it is most gratifying to us to ascertain that many individuals, including several of the Faculty, who have experienced the carmi. native and anti-spasmodic effects of the GINGER BRANDY, pronounce it a cordial of inestimable value, and deserving the highest recommendation. We continue to supply the Ginger Brandy to families, for cash in London, on the same terms as our IMPROVED BRITISH COGNAC, namely, 18s. by the imperial gallon, (for a single gallon or upwards), and in sealed pint and quart bottles, 2s. and 3s. 6d. each, bottle inclusive.

Sta—l know that in such sketches of public meetings as you can find space for, many speeches must be much curtailed ; and that in such curtailment a slight omission may make an important change in the character of the observations imputed to any individual. It is not therefore in the spirit of com plaint that I request you to allow me the opportunity of cor recting such an inaccuracy regarding myself in your report of the meeting in Finsbury, in your yesterday's Number. lam there represented as saying, " It was the history of the Irish to be treacherous ; and as a proof of that he need only advert to Grattan and Plunkett, and lastly O'Connell, who had capped them all." 'this, Sir, is an abbreviation of a good deal that I said ; but all that I want amen d e d i s thi s : I did no t sa y "it wa s the history of the Irish ;" but I said, " It was the history of Irish patriot leadership to be treacherous ;" and my instances, as given in your report, Grattan, Plunkett, and O'Connell, prove that such was my meaning. I have two reasons for wishing to be understood upon this point. The first is, that I have observed with great admiration, that all the malice, all the insolence, all the false charges and attempted treachery which the working men of England have drawn from Mr. O'Connell by their well-founded d;strust of his integrity, have never in one instance, that I have observed, provoked from any portion of the working classes of England one harsh, hos tile, or ungenerous expression towards the peopl e o f I re l an d ; though that people have seemed to give a tacit approval to Mr. O'Connell's conduct; and though that conduct .has been marked by a degree of treacherous apostacy which makes it a dishonour not to be anxious to disclaim it. generous ed brethren in forbearance bea gla n n ti d, it would be signally di sgrace ful in Ireland b e an h onour to the vvorkip upon I re l an d to an English audi• rsaenccoend towards ;easo; their itrh suffering iif this 6 e a n nin l de i g nd h oe t r i vn d a 7:. - ie, wbo am an I r i s h man myself, to address any nat i ona l att acks encc, especially when I know that even that abjectness of soul, gifts of a C ourt , i s to be traced to the f w o h r i t e h h e m s a m k i e le s s M an r. d O th 'C e onnell ready t o se ll hi s confiding country circumstance which he himself once mentioned with consider. able pathos before an English meeting, that he " was born a slave," and therefore cannot be expected to understand or to display that masculine dignity of thought and action, which is one of the most glorious fruits of freedom ; and the yet unde fined traces of whi c h in the English common people are the most striking proof of the excellence of those good old laws, soon, I trust, to be restored. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JAMES WHITTLE. C74ampion-oftloe, Jan. 3, 1839.

PRICE sd. THE REV. MR. STEPHENS. ASHTON. It having become generally known on Saturday evening that Mr. Stephens would address his hearers twice on the follow ing day, the announcement caused an unusual number of per sons to attend. He preached in the afternoon at Staleybridge, and in the evening at this place. Determined on being in good time at the chapel, I arrived there at twenty-seven mi nutes past five (preaching at six o'clock); but, lo ! not a seat to be had ; indeed there was not comfortable standing room. A working man in appearance, and no doubt perceiving that I was a stranger, at once gave me his seat, and thus for a few minutes, and but for a few minutes, I was comparatively corn. fortable. In a quarter of an hour afterwards, however, the accession of numbers was so great, that it strongly reminded me of the 0. P. rows, and of Old Drury on Mr. Kean's first appearance after his faux pas with Mrs. Cox; in short, a vapour bath was nothing to this hydraulic pressure. At last it became so intolerable that a general call was made for an ad journment to the Market-place, which forthwith took place, where, from a waggon, Mr. Stephens addressed not less than 5,000 people. Service commenced with singing one of Wes ley's hymns, thus : Peace doubting heart; my God's lam Who form'd me man, forbids my fear ; The Lord bath call'd me by my name : The Lord protects, for ever near ; His blood for me did once atone, And still be loves and guards his own. When, passing through the watery deep, I ask in faith his promised aid, The waves an awful distance keep, And shrink from my devoted head ! Fearless their violence I dare ; They cannot harm, for God is there ! &c. &c. After the hymn a person named Johnson, a hatter, from Hooley-hill, offered up a most sensible prayer, which, being. concluded, Mr. Stephens stood up, and called on the assem blage to join in singing another of Wesley's hymns, thus : Jesu, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high : Hide me, 0 my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last I Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah ! leave me rot alone, Still support and comfort me : All my trust on Thee is stay'd, All my help from Thee I bring ; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of thy wing. Mr. STEPHENS now proceeded to address the people for about one hour and a-half, and in a manner so able, energetic, fervid, and forcible, that I feel it impossible to convey any idea to the reader. It was the first time of my hearing him, and although highly prejudiced against the man, candour com pels me to admit, that in the part of his address, sermon, or whatever else it may be called, which related to religion and religion only, there was nothing escaped his lips to which the most fastidious religionist could object. A sample of the introduction—" I am," said Mr. S., " a man of one book, and one book only, and that book the Bible. I hope and believe that you, my hearers—you, try flock, will in this respect follow your shepherd. This book contains all that is necessary for your guidance, for mine, and that of all men. It contains the best, the purest, in fact the only just basis on which the laws of man kind can be established. Then need I ask you whether laws, made by whomsoever they may, at variance with the laws of that book, whether such laws ought to be obeyed ?"—( He left his hearers to make the application.)—Mr. S. now called on his congregation not to put their trust in man ; no, not in filth ; nor yet to put their confidence in Princes; but to rely on themselves, and to be provided against the coming danger, adding most significantly, " I happen to know much more than you know, and much more than I shall tell you to-night; but rely on what I say, that danger is at hand."—Mr. S., after about half-an-hour's address a a generally religious nature, proceeded to his favourite topic—the New Poor-law Bill; and on this subject he was at home. Never did I hear such strong, masculine, fervid, impassioned, and if you will allow me to add, such a vigorous yeoman denunciation—a denunciation clothed in language really terrific to hear. The authors, the Commissioners, and the supporters of the New Poor-law Bill were the objects of his tirade. Allow me now to state the substance of what appeared to me the most important part of his address; and if what he asserted be true, and if the Government have sanctioned, or...rather should eventually sanction, the diab o li ca l recomme ndation (to which he afterwards referred) then it may be foretold with unerring certainty that a national commotion will be the re sult. On the contrary, should Mr. Stephens have had no ground for the statement in question, then no punishment can be too severe for the man who uttered it. His statement was to this effect :—" My dear brethren, whom I sincerely love, favour me with your close attention, I have something to say unto you ; something to tell you at which I am sure every drop of blood in your veins will tingle. Listen, listen, I say again listen.—( Profound silence.) I have then, said Mr. S., seen it in print. I have seen the book. I have read it, and there are none of my ifs and buts about it, It is positively in print, and one of the Poor-law Commissioners is the author, in which lie recommends, now mind what I am going to say, that no married couple, poor, of course, should be allowed to have more than 3 children ; and that in his (the Commissioner's) opinion they were one too many. And this Poor-law devil decidedly says that under no circumstances should they be permitted to exceed the greater number.—(Extraordinary sensation among the assemblage.) Two did I say ; yes, two, or rather, so says this devil Commissioner.—( Great indignation at this moment, when Mr. S. paused for a short time.) I dare say, continued Mr. S., that you, my friends, have by this time a strong anxiety to know how this devilish, this fiend-like scheme is intended to be accomplished; and no wonder at such anxiety. Now listen, and I will tell you.—(There was the silenft ui midnight.) There is then to be a parish registry lccr bf all married persona' families whose children at ant to three. There is then to be a parish spy ; and, 'When th e mother of any such families happens to be ozeiente of the fourth, a thing, by the bye, very likel4 to haispen—(Laughter)—this parish spy is to loport to a pariah (or Government) official man-midwife ; and such men-midwives alone are to attend at such aceouoliements. When the travail of birth is over—l beg you will listen to what I AM now going to say to you—when the baby (babby Mr, S. called it) is born, the ruthless midwife is to tear it away from its mother, without permitting a single erehreee,—( Extraordinary expressions of disgust.) The child is then with all convoelent speed to have an end put to its existence, by introducing into its slender frame a small portion of noxious gas.—(lt is quite impossible for words to eeney the impression whi c h t hi s statement prnduecd. But d o not - let me forget one thing, and which had nearly slipped my memory. These horrible, these devilish things, are recommended not to be attempted till theri, is a rural police established throughout the king dom, which, when completely arranged, will, it is thought, prove effectual in enabling the Commissioners to carry the theory into effect, inasmuch as they will always be within call whenever any tumult may arise out cf this hellish pro ject. Mr. S. now made one of tne most stiring appeals to the best feelings of woman that the imagination can conceive— the reader rn i s anei the effect it produced, for deseripth:„ is imPoss ; tie. After this appeal, and when order was I'D:Secure restored, he called the a tt en ti on o f his ... c ot some carers to what passed in the days of Pharaoh, and, as it appeared to the writer, with fully the effects produeer!..ny the previous appeal to woman. You, my bearers, Said Mr. Stephens, will no doubt recollect what my book and what your book—the Bible—records of what took place in days of old, when that tyrant Pharaoh issued his mandate, that the midwives of that day should put to death all the male children that should be born through all tho land of Egypt for a certain period. Pharaoh, however, wicked as he was, never con templated such horrible butchery as that which this Poor-law devil Commissioner has the audacity to recommend. He ( Pharaoh) was, it seems, satisfied with the destruction of the males ; but this Moloch Commissioner, it seems, is not to be sated with anything less than the destruction of both males and females, and that not for a limited time, as was Pharaoh's, but which is to extend from generation to generation. This abomination has, it seems, been left to be put into execution by these hellish Commissioners. Do not you, my hearers, recollect also that this grievous sin of Pharaoh's was the immediate cause of God's most righteous vengeance, by sending forth his plagues on the Egyptians? For did not God say—" Now for these things will I pour out my plagues on this peo_ple," And thi n k you t h at t h e Almightly will per mit devil Commissioners like ours, to excel Pharaoh so greatly in wickedness, and not pour out the vials of his hottest and most fierce indignation on the nation that shall be guilty of such wickedness? He will assuredly punish that people. then, in sad prospect b e f ore you , With these things, may I not safely reckon on every man, woman, boy, and girl now present, to un i te i n defeat i ng so horrible a scheme. I know I can rely upon you. Recollect, said Mr. Stephens, how that God himself ordered Moses to slay the Egyptian, and he did slay him. Did not G o d a l so tell Nehemiah to slay his enemies, and did not he obey the command If you do not then also thus resolve—if you d o , not thus resist to the very death, if necessary, the introduction of this Moloch law, may God Almighty's curse— his mos t t4r).ible vengeance —rest on the heed (/every nian who ncoo dears me ; may the curse of Christ;Acell in the heart of every woman who now hears nis i who does not her utmost to stem so horrible an iniquity, ' may tke Almighty's curse rest on your children, and on their children to the third and fourth generation,, nlcy God's curse be in you: basket and in your stow ; mqy the first grain of wheat, in the .form of bread, which' you may take for y , r' nourishment, choke you ; may the first drop of water. Kahan to quench your thirst be as baiting waif?: kr; 4 ",oct , bowels ; may you never prosper. .Fyn so. .1 amat a loss for wo r d s t o conve y th e eff e ct, roduced by th i s extraordinary pero ra ti on . Thi s , communication might IA • tr. fO l t greatly extended; but, as I fancy the gist of his long add '2:21,X,/1%;;, is embodied in the foregoing remarks, I forbear. At the - • of the sermon, as it must, I suppose, be called , anot her 4Tvf-1:s; wast Wesley's hymns was sung in most admirable style ; hut in this there is nothing to excite surprise, seeing that this part of the country is most celebrated for vocal bamony. The hymn thus : I, A charge to keep I have, A god to glorify ; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky ; To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil ;- 0 may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will 1 Arm me with jealous care, As in thy sight to live ; And Oh I thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to give ; Help me to watch and pray, Arid on thyself rely ; Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall for ever die. After an emphatic but short prayer. the Congregation quietly dispersed. ARREST OF MR. STEPHENS.-NA. TIONAL CONVENTION. Last night a public meeting of the working classes was held, pursuant to requisition, which had been extensively placarded throughout the metropolis, at the Assembly Rooms, Theobald's-road, for the purpose of promoting the formation of District Committees throughout London, in support of the so-called National Convention. It seems to be determined on to institute as active an organization as possible for the few weeks that intervene before the meeting of Parliament, in pursuance of the above object, and there fore to establish in all directions Local Committees for agita.. tion and the collection of " the National Rent." The room last night was not much crowded; though, if there was any deficiency of numbers, there certainly was no deficiency of zeal. None of the lions were in attendance ; a circumstance which some of the speakers attributed to the necessity of their presence at Manchester to advise and assist their friend, Mr. Stephens. Mr. Ireland was called to the Chair, and ad dressed the mPeting. The speakers that followed were, Mr. McConnell, who very effectively addressed the audience, and described the evils of the country mainly to the withering in fluence of the National Debt ; Mr. Richard Maw, who announced that there were no less than two-and-a-half million of signatures affixed to the National Petition ; Mr. John Ro gers, who very urgently entreated all persons to subscribe to the National Rent, and to induce their neighbours to do so, and proposed a resolution to that effect ; and Mr. Whittle, who was announced as a delegate for Liverpool, and who elo quently addressed the meeting on the misgovernment of the country, and persecution of Mr. Stephens. The ordinary routine of resolutions were proposed and carried. Thera was also one expressive of sympathy with, and determination to support as far as they could legally do so, Mr. Stephens. The speakers were all cheered very enthusiastically, and the usual subscription at the door seemed to have been with rathe more than usual alacrity contributed to.—Morning Advertiser LAMBETH POLITICAL UNION. A respectably attended meeting of the Liberal inhabitants of the borough of Lambeth was held at the Elephant and Castle Tavern, Newington, last evening, for the purpose of consider ing the propriety of forming a political union, to take the best means of obtaining a repeal of the Corn-laws and Universat. Suffrage. At eight o'clock, Mr. WEBBER was called to the Chair, and 'proceeded to ad dress the meetin g . He said he was most anx i ous that a society of sincere Reformers should be formed in the Borough of Lambeth. An effort had been made some tirne since to carry out the object for which the present meeting had been convened ; but it had not succeeded, owing, he believed, to the persons who were engaged in it not having the confidence of the majority of the electors of the borough ; but he hoped that the success of the present endeavour would be certain, and that the meeting would appoint a Committee to draw up and frame rules and regulations upon which such a society should be based.—( Hear.) Mr. WELFORD said, it was notorious that this bcr.ough contained a larger proportion of decided Liberals in the ranks of its Reformers that any other of the electoral districts of the metropolis, and those Reformers were last year the first to meet and to deprecate the unhappy Tory policy announced by Lord John Russell as that of himself and his colleagues, Seldom had such formidable difficulties been opposed to t,lr e amendment of their institutions. All hope of further refor m depended upon popular exertion; and that exertion,"co b e effective, must be prompt, sustained, and contin'Jous, as every method was used which falsehood or malignit- j , could in vent to cast discredit u p on t h e l ega l agitatie„ an d peace f u l organization of the people. He then pror several persons to act as a c omm itt ee f, used the names of traming the consti tution of the society, and he begged. also to advise that the re peal of the Corn-laws and the at'..a . inment of Universal Suffrage should be the chief objects of the association ' • and that every member should be bo' :.nd to advocate those claims.—( Hear. ) He felt satisfied th a t the majority of the people of Lambeth. would cheerfully participate in carrying out the broad prin ciples of Reform. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. Boor-II:TT seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unaninsously. Several other persons then addressed, the meeting, after which, thanks having been voted to thq chairman, the meeting adjourned. IRELAND. PRECURSOR SOCIETY.—At an adjourned tr.eetincg of the Society held in the Dublin Corn Exchange last Tuesday, the Registry Report (a part of which specially refers to the city) was brought up. There was also brought up, read and adopted, the " Report upon the state and nature of the Irish Franchises, contrasting them with those of England and Scotland, and suggesting the best mode or extension, and identification." The Pilot observes of this letter Roport, that It is an " Admirable analysis of the extension of the I Tranchise in Scotland and Wales, as compared with tl:15 country"— adding, " We must confess that bad as wc: thought things were, we were not prepared for such an expose. Short and deficient as we knew the Elective Franc'Aise to be in different counties in Ireland, we had no idea th.at a measure which they called reform at the time would so soon have reduced us to utter destitution," ATTEMPT TO MURDER LORD NORBURY.—Lord Norbury, Se cond son, to the late Judge, an excellent landlord, has been fired at whilst walking through a shrubbery on his own estates; he is wounded by several slugs. The Surgeon-General left D',.;olin early last Wednesday to attend him. Various rumonra as to the cause of the attempted assassination are in circulation.. But on that point (the Pilot of VF ednesday says) nothing authentic is known. It is said that his Lordship lived upon friendly terms with his Catholic dependants, and especially with the parish priest, and from this reason it is supposed that the assassin is from his Lordship's estates in Tipperary where a person was recently shot at in mistake for his Lor ship's agent. Another story has it, that this is but a deve lopment of part of a secret conspiracy to murder five Pinded proprietors, in the direction in which the crime occurred. Other causes have been assigned for the fearful act, but they are of a nature which will not allow us to all ude to therm for the present. THE VACANT BISHOPRIC.—It is now sail that the vacant Deanery will decide the question of the succession to Cashel, and that the having the disposal of Down will insure Lord Plunket's son the Bishopric. The Government, it is added, are in no common want of a place in the Church at the present moment; for it is whispered that a provision for a reverend son is a sine qua non for the resignation of a venerable Judge If this job be perpetrated, it will be the most scrAdalous and barefaced instance of " bargain and sale" that has yet oc curred.—Dublin Evening Mail. From the !lolence of the gale during the last forty-eight hours, the London Journals due at twelve o'clock on Tuesday did h'2,"c reach their destination till early on Wednesday morn ...g—the Holyhead mail, due at six, did not arrive till ten I o'clock; and up to Wednesday aft ernoon t h e Li ver p oo l p ac k et remained due. A LAWYER IN TROUBLE.—Yesterday Francis Roxburgh, of Great James -street, a solicitor, was brought up at Bow -street, in custody, before Mr. Minshull, charged on the sworn information of Mr. John Shimoin with threa tening to shoot him. After hearing both parties, Mr. Minshull ordered the defendant to find bail, himself in 2001. and two sureties in the sum of 1001. each, to keep the peace towards all of her Majesty's subjects, but particularly to wards the complainant, for the next twelve months. The required sureties were found, and the parties left the office. LIVERPOOL MAIL.—We have much pleasure in stating that Government has at length yielded to the re monstrances of the commercial community of Glasgow, by ordering arrangements to be made, by the Post-office offi cials, for having the Liverpool Mail brought into Glasgow at two o'clock, the hour it formerly arrived at. It is un derstood that this desirable change will take place about the 20th of the present month. When Government have yielded this much, we cannot but think that a very little pressing would bring about an alteration of the hour or departure from London of the day-mail, so that it couldi arrive in Glasgow along with the Liverpool Mail at two o'clock, instead of seven o'clock, as at present, when it is perfectly useless. Indeed, the late arrangements as to the nalanyNv e shall have arrival of the mails have been the most unsatisfactory that. could well be imagined. Even the proposed change in the Liverpool Mail, shows anything bu t a due regard for th e pfrhurbel mail service. After arriving then IrOotmh ofEgnud every Jar day, when two could answer the purpose equally well. if G overnment would order the London day - mail to be aoe ce l era t e d, so t h at coachesvi it and the Liverpool Mail could arrive together at two o'clock, they would of course save the addition mail-coach altogether, and confer a great benefit upon Glasgow and the West of Scotland. —Glasgow Chronicle. The shipbuilders of Liverpool have seldom, if ever, been so busy as they are at present. All the yards on both sides the Mersey are occupied by vessels, of various tonnage, in process of building ; and more frames w o uld be laid awn if the builders could undertake the work. The shipbuilders along the west and the east coast are equally busy % and have frequent occasion to refuse proffered contracts for building vessels. All these circumstances show, that the shipping interest is in a very flourishing state. Now ready, One Vol. large Bvo., with plates, price 145.
