The new principles on which this Society is founded, bring the benefits f Life Assurance within the •each of all. It pro vides against the contingency of misfortutne during life, as well as against the isk of death ; and even affords to the Assured a fund out of his premiums on which he can at any time operate, as his circumstances may require. It thus affords to the pru dent of all classes, the greatest facilities and most powerful en couragement to lav up a certain provision for the future. Among other advantages the ssured will enjoy the follow ing I. Moderate rates of Premium consistent with security; be sides the g iaranteq of half a million of capital. 2. No entry-money. 3. Power of converting the policy at any time into a payment in cash, a new policy, or immediate, 07 deferred Annuity. 4. After five years, two-thirds of payment on elapsed policies returnable at death. 5. Tho Assured, on complying with the conditions of tha office, may, at any time, borrow two-thirds of all previous pay men s and the amount of any declared WOW,. - h. Two-thirds of the entire profits on the Life Assurance, and on the investment of the (acarantre Fund, divided an nually among the Insured, and at their option paid in cash, added to the policy, or ap lied in reduction of future pre miums. 7. Great facility in effecting Insu ances. Premiums payable by one payriv nt, or annually, hill-yearly, quarterly, or monthl), or on the increasing or decreasing scale. 8. Females assure at one year less than their actual ages. 9. Relaxation of restrictions on travelling beyond the limits of Europe, except to places srcially enumerated, and a policy in force seven years not forfeited by suicide.

By the operation of the same new principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of DEFER RED A N N IIITI Es far more advantageous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the contribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may secure either a comfortable provision for himself in advances age, or at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death. The industrious classes, hitherto obliged to resort to Savings' Banks and Benefit Societies, will find in this scheme a far safer and more profitable application of their savings. This Society is enabled, by judicious and accurate calculations, to afford a Deferred Annuity of a much greater amount than has hitherto been offered, beside the option of exchanging this annuity when payable, for a large sum in cash, or a still larger Policy, payable without premiums at death ; while, by giving to the purchaser, at any time preceding the stipulated term of the Annuity's commencement, the power of borrowing two-thirds f all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample re source during sickness and want of employment ; and, should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The purchaser has also the power of converting, on equal terms, his deferred into a prese .t Annuity. The following tables are a specimen of the great and vane advantages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through the Society.

SPECIMENS OF DEFERRED ANNUITIES. THE CHURCH. WHICH CHURCH ? We often hear of the Church, but to know what tike word means we have always to ask—which Church, the Old or the New Church of Christ ? There have been, for a date pos terior to the death •f the Apostles, two Churches, as distinctly and indelibly marked by their oracles and nomenclature as by their doctrine. Of the one, the manual of faith and worship is the written word of God; of the other, tradition. The God of •ur Lord Jesus Christ is the God of the One ; a God of Three Persons, 'yclept Trinity, is the God of the other.

NORWICH PROVISION AND CATTLE MARKETS AND TOMBLAND FAIR. TO BE LET BY AUCTION, BY MR. W. WILDE, By order of the Council of the Body Corporate of the City of Norwich, on WEDNESDAY, the 6th day of MARC/I, 1139, at Four o'Clock in the afternoon, at the Angel Inn, Market-place, Norwich, in Lots, rrHE STALLAGE and DUES to arise from IL the following MARKETS and FAIRS, viz.:— POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W. STREET. .Marlin Smith Metcalf; publisher of the Morning Chronicle, was yesterday brought up by Goddard f o r final examination, charged with embezzling several sums of money the property of his employers. Mr. Ashurst conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Hem phre)s appeared for the defence. Mr. Easthope. M. P., on being sworn, said-1 am pro. prieter of the Morning Chronicle, the office is in the Strand, and the prisoner was employed by me in the ca- pacity of cashier, bookeeper, and registered publisher of the paper, at a-salary of five guineas a week. His duty was to receive cash, and to enter the amount in the cash bock produced; and it was also a part of his duty to pay such cash into the banking-house of Messrs. Cox and Co., Charing.crose. In consequence of some informa tion I received, I sent for the prisoner to r. y house on the 2d instant, and after questioning him respecting the 'amount cif his delinquencies, be gave me th e account produced in his own hand-writing. In respect to the sum of 1 71. received from Messrs. Betts, ho said he had received it by a cheque, but did not account for it ; and as to the sum of 6/. 14s. from Messrs. Sutton, he made a similar acknowledgment, together with "a third sum, which appeared by the ledger, and which he had not accounted for. The prisoner also said that perhaps the sums mentioned by him were not exact, but they were nearly so. On the Ist instant I received the letter pro duced,dated on the 31st January, in the hand-writing of the prisoner; and on examining the book I have found the MUM mentioned therein not credited to or accounted for to the establishment. Mr. Humphreys submitted that as the prisoner was some thing more in the establishment than a cashier or book keeper, which rendered him liable to all the conacquenres arising from the publication of the paper, he could not come within the meaning of the statute as a hired servant but as a partner. Mr. Aahhurst contended that as he had received a weekly wage he could be considered in no other way. Mr. Alissittaa, considered the prisoner came strictly within the meaning of the Act. Mr. George Jones, clerk to Messrs. Sutton and Co., medicine-vendors, Bow Church-yard, Cheapside, proved that on the 17:h of November his employers were indebted to the Morning Chronicle in the sum of 61. 145., and being applied to by the prisoner for the amount of the bill, he paid it and got the receipt produced. Witness believed he saw the prisaner write the receipt, the amount of which was for the insertion of advertisements in that paper. Mr. Thomas Mitchell, clerk,to Messrs. Betts and Co., Smithfield-bars, rectifiers, proved that his employers were indebted to the prosecutor's establishment in 17/. for ad vertising which sum he paid with the cheque produced, on the 28:h July, to a person who signed T. Nicholson, to the paper produ ce d, an d t h e c h eque i n question came h ome to the fits, paid. Mr. Nicholson, ironmonger, stated that in the month of July, he was clerk to 'the proprietor of the Morning Chro nicle, at which time a clerk of Messrs. Betts called and paid the amount of the cheque produced for 1 71. which was due by that firm. Witness put the cheque into the till, which in the course of business would have passed through the prisoner's hands. After having re ceived it, he acquainted the prisoner with the circum stance, as it did not appear to have been accounted for on the books, and the prisoner upon this said he had never seen the cheque, but witness subsequeetly satisfied himself that it had passed through the hands of Cox anal Co., who were bankers for the establishment of the prosecutor. Mr. George S•evens. clerk to Messrs. Thompson, Ad vertizing Agents, 6, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, proved that his employers were indebted to the prosecutor's esta blishment on the 31st October, in the sum of 521. 2s. 6d., which he paid on that day by a cheque on his firm to a person over the counter, and on that or the next day, the prisoner gave him an acknowledgment for the amount. The cheque came back to the firm paid, from the banker's. Mr. Chas. Evora, Cashier to Messrs. Hopkinson and Co., bankers, Regent-street, Waterloo-place, proved having paid the amount of the cheque produced. Mr. Nicholson identified the handwriting of the prisoner on each of the receipts. Mr. Miststsou.sisked the prisoner if he had anything to say, and being answered in the negative, the witnesses were bound over to prosecute, and he was fully committed on the three separate charges.

DINNER AT THE MANSION- HOUSE. The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained a large party at dinner on Wednesday. There were resent, besides several Aldermen and their ladies and the Sheriffs, Colonel and Mrs. Tweedy, Sir George and Lady Carroll, Sir Henry and Lady Richardson, Sir Matthew Wood, Dr. Scott. Dr. Croly, Dr. Birch, Dr. Giles, Mrs. and Miss Bitkheck, Major Wm. Arthur, Captain Petty, Deputy- Master of the Trinity House, &c. The coals which were burning at the Mansion-house were the subject of general admiration. Sir MATTHEW WOOD, after dinner, alluded to the exer tions which the Lord Mayor was making to secure to the public a cheap supply, and said that he was himself burning the same sort of coals, and that 223. was the price he paid for them. Lot 3 .

Further information may be obtained on application to Air. J. It. Staff, Town Clerk, at his Office, at the Guildhall, Nor wich. The LORD MATOR said that he was attacked right and left, and in every direction, in the most slanderous manner, by persons wh3 imputed to iint all sorts of motives, except those which were dictated by an honourable feeling. lie had ascertained in every instance, however, that the attacks came from ship owners, coal owners, factors or some per sons inten-sted either in the keeping up the hi g h prices of coals, or in supporting the combination. The malevolent feeling which had sprung up is consequence of the deter mination to which he had come to benefit the public by routing the monopolists, were only additional proofs, that the public were found to he seconding his exertions. Such unworthy modes of veng,eance tended more than anything he could do to make the great body of consumers look about them and inquire who were in the right, those who set an enormous price upon the commodity, or those who told the public that they were charged a great deal too much, and besought them to have mercy on their own pockets. He had not yet met with any person who had coals at 225. per ton from the pits, where his coals were produced, that did not express his admiration at the quality. They burnt stronger, they burnt longer, they made more cheer ful fires than what were absurdly called best coals, at 3t3s. per ton !—( A laugh.) fie had received evidence of several persons having received coals at 2 4 5. per ton which turned out to he the veriest rubbish, but which were supplied merely for the purpose of misleading and imposing upon the public. The coals he used were in no way connected with what was in cant phraseology called best coals. They were quite distinct from those under the dominion of the expiring combination, and he called upzn all those who were desirous to see it soon at an nd to pay no more than 225. a ton for the coals they consumed, and assured them that the very best would in a short time be under that price. ~, / - 101 161, .-• 4,,,,,N! ?..,.., i ) t (----,--.-- - NH) un • ~.9- ' 1 _•IP ------\ -.167." ---- ;; : f '''''' ---, 1 " , • f: ~, . . yV,,,..r.,: r - -:,.r; ,r 7 ' , Z_•• - T ~ , , ..,) ,y 1 r , .. , " . 1 - 7 - •-,.. , ~, = ..., . 1 ' ''7*ii,,,-- ''l ' ' ' ' ' ji , - L .-:',.

ANTI-CORN LAW DELEGATISS The Delegates met yesterday at 3 eicloAc at Brown's Hotel. The attendance was very numerous. Amnog tha Members of Parliament present were Mr. Villiers, 116rAlawes, Sir G. Strickland, Mr. Scholefield, Mr. H'ndley, Mr. Baines, Mr. C. Lushington, Mr. Ward, Mr. P. Ainsworth, Mr. G. W. Wood. Before the proceedings began, Mr. O'Connell en tered the room, and was engaged in conference with the Delegates. Lord NUGENT brought forward his motion for ap pointing a deputation to confer with the Agricultural body. He was aware that it had been suggested that the De!egates adjourn this day. He would not attempt to break the harmony of their proceedings ; and if the adjournment was called for by the general voice of the Delegates be would not press his motion. Whether they adjourned or not, however, he wished to have on record his strong recommendation for some endeavour at an amicable adjustment of the question with their opponents, to be discussed by their constituents when they should have separated. It could not be said that this was out of the province of the Delegates, for they had been appointed to take all honourable and constitutional means for promoting the total repeal of the Corn-laws ; and surely, if that ob ject could be effected by amicable adjustment with the ' agriculturists, it would be most desirable ; but even if they failed in that object, they would convict their op ponents of unreasonableness. The Noble Lord read the following extract from the first address of Earl Fitz. william :—" Any material change in a part of our laws deemed by a considerable branch of the commu nity conducive to the prosperity of the country, must be rather carried into effect by the zonsent of that branch of the community, than in the form of a triumph over it.". If they intended to succeed, they could only do so by one means, and that was by Converting the minority in Parliament into a majority. He apprehended they wure notadvancing towards that by discussing the truths at which they had arrived amongst themselves, b►tt it must be done by communication with others.:—( Hear, hear.) He sincerely trusted it would not go firth to the public that their proceedings had been weakened by dissen sion ; and that any resolution which might be come to, would be come to unanimously. Whatever their opinion might be on the question of adjournment, he should vote in unison with tie rest of the Delegates. If they de termined to adjourn, he would withdraw his resolution. firmness untill thay had attained their object. The CHAIRMAN said that at a meeting of the Dele gates, held this morning, they had decided to adjourn. Lord NUGENT thought the question was now to be discussed, but as it had been decided, he would at once withdraw his resolution. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letter, which had been received from Lord B. ougham, in reply to the vote of thanks which had been passed by the Delegates for the manner in which he had brought the question before the House of Lords : " House of Lord;, Feb. 21, 1839. " GENTLENEN,— I have had the honour of receiving the Vote of Thanks passed at your Meeting, and I beg leave to express my grateful sense of your unmerited kindness towards me upon this occasion. " I should be extremely sorry if it were supposed either that your most respectable body is answerable for my Par. liamentary conduct of the cause, or that I am responsible for, or controlled by, any proceedings out of doors, now much soev,r I may respect the parties to such proceeding s. " As I understand th a t t wo o f y our num b er h ave df fered with me upon the course which I pursued, I trust I shall not he deemed wanting in due respect for them, if I add, that while at the bar, I never once in my whole pro fessional life submitted my own judgment, in conducting any case, to the wishes or opinions of my clients. How much less am I likely to consult the views of any individuals however respectable with respect to the mode of conducting a question in the discharge of my Parliamen tary duty ? I have the satisfaction to find that my manner of bringing forward the case meets with the distinct ap proval of nearly the whole of your body. But lam alone answerable for it ; and I am bound to follow my own opinion and to act as my long Parliamentary experience dictates. 1 " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, •' BROUGHAM. "To the Petitioners against the Corn-laws." The CitAinmaN called upon Mr. Cobden to read the Report which had been brought forward and agreed to at a Special General Meeting of the Delegates this morning. Mr. COBDEN then read the following REPORT Of the Anti-Corn-law Delegation, appointed by the Principal Commercial and Manufacturing 'towns in Great Britain to meet in London, for the purpose of obtaining the Total and Immediate Repeal of the Corn-laws. The Delegates assembled in London on the 4th of February, and after forming themselves into a General Committee, they proceeded to the appoint men t o f S u b-C omm i ttees for collecting evidence, for superintending th e correspon d ence, an d f or ma naging dio financial concerns of the Delegation. These Com mittees continued to sit and to report from time to time their proceedings to the General Meetings of the Delegates. The General Committee, as their first step, adopted and con firmed the whole of the Resolutions passed at the Meetings of Delegates at Manchester; one of which declared that, " believing the facts upon which their judgment, fatal con sequences of the Corn-laws, was formed were too little known, and of such national importance as to call for their disclosure before the people's representatives, they earnestly recommend that petitions be forwarded from all parts of the kingdom, praying to be heard by counsel at the bar of the House of Commons in the ensuing session of Parliament." Whilst claiming the right of exchanging the results of their industry for the productions of other countries, the Delegates published to the world the following demand for that freedom for others which they were anxious to secure for themselves : " That this Meeting, whilst it demands of the Legis lature as an act of justice the total and immediate repeal of all laws imposing duties upon, or restrict ing the importation of, corn and other articles of sub sistence, is prepared to resign all claims to the protection on home manufactures, and to carry out to their fullest extent, boils as affects agriculture and manufactures, the true and peaceful principles of free trade by removing all existing obstructions to the unrestricted interchange of industry and capital between all nations." Every subsequent effort of the Delegates has been animated by the spirit if this latter resolution, and directed towards giving the fullest possible effect to those resolutions which were adopted at the Manchester meeting. The Evidence Committe having, with the knowledge and sanction of the General Committee, engaged a Parliamentary Agent, and retained two Counsel, they issued circulars to the , agricultural and manufa c t ur i ng di s t r i c t s f or th e p ur p ose o f collecting evidence and of obtaining intelligent witnesses. The prompt manner in which applications were responded to from all parts of the kingdom, affords satisfactory proof of the deep and wide-spread interest which is taken in the labours of the Delegates, whilst the facts communicated by traders and agri culturists, all prove beyond even the previous impression of the Delegates, the ruinous effects of the Corn-laws on all the great interests of the country. In conformity with the suggestions of eminent Parliamentary lawyers, a petition, in the form least liable to technical objection, was prelim ed and s . gned by the Delegates, and presented to the House of Commons. This petition was adopted by Mr. Villiers as the basis of his motion. However convinced the Delegates might previonslyhave been of the importance of obtaining an opportunity of proving their ease at the Bar of the House of Commmons, that conviction has been strengthened since their arrival in town, by the ignorance of the operation of the Corn-laws, which they have found to prevail among the Members of both Houses of Par liament. Believing the examination of witnesses before the assembled Parliament, with the eye of the nation upon its Representa tives, to be the best way in which our legislators could be brought to study the question dispassionately, the Delegates laboured incessantly to obtain an opportunity of proving their case at the Bar of the House of Commons. So reasonable a request—so respectfully and strenuously pre ferred by the Delegates, and backed as it was (iti so limited a space of time) by an almost unprecedented number of peti tions from all the great commercial and manufacturing districts of the kingdom, could not, it was hoped, be refused. The Houses of Lords and Commons, however, have decided that they will not hear evidence at their bar. Possescing the power to judge a matter which involves the welfare and existence of every class of the community, they have decided that if they do entertain the question, it shall be without receiving evidence in that form which the Delegates believe to be indispensable to their arriving at a correct judg ment of the case. The Delegates have, moreover, to deploro the fact, that a spirit was manifested by certain Members of both Houses of Par liament during the debate,which was designed to produce a feeling of hostility between the capitalists and the labourers, two classes which are mutually dependent upon, and necessarilyliving its the closest contact with each other, and whose interests are indisso lubly 'sound together. Whilst lamenting the discontent which prevails amongst the great body of the labouring classes, the Delegates would not perform their duty if they failed to warn the Legislature and the Government that the sufferings of the working classes have the same origin as those evils, which this Delegation have met to expose at the Bar of Parliament, and they feel called upon to express their deliberate conviction, that this wide-spread discontent cannot be allayed by any other means than by a repeal of those laws which impose an unjust tax on the food of the people. Under these lamentable, unexpected,and, it is believed,unprece dented circumstances, the Delegates feel called upon, after mature deliberation, to put themselves in personal communication with their respective constituents, that they may decide on what further steps should 'be taken, in order that they may again submit their grievances to the consideration of Parliament. The CHAIRNIAN then stated that at the meetin g this morning the following resolutions had been una&- mously passed :- Ist. 'that the Report of the Committee be adopted, and that the Delegates be requested to communicate the result of their mission to their constituents ; and that this meeting be adjourned to Manchester, at a time to be fixed by the Anti- Corn-law Association of that town, and a week's notice to be given. 2cl. That at the conclusion of the business of this day, no further meeting of the Delegates take place in London until after the meeting at Manchester. 3.1. That Dr. Homing, Messrs. Ewart, Weir, and any other delegate in town, be a Committee of reference, to whom the Secretary may apply (in case of need) in anything relating to correspondence ; and that a continuance of communications f ro m all parts of the country be invited and encouraged, addressed to the Secretary of this Delegation at Browne 's Hotel, or to the Secretary of the Anti-Corn-law Association, Manchester.

LITTLE V. TIIONISON. This was a motion (which stood;;;;:from the last Seal) Oil the part of the plaintiff, that Mr. George Glennie, the Editor of the " Gardener's Gazette," might be committed to the Fleet prison for contempt of Court, in having pub lished certain articles in that Journal relating to the above cause and the matters therein, while the cause was sub judiee. Mr. CRAIG (in the absence of Mr. Pemberton), opened the motion, and read the several articles complained of, which contained animadversions upon the evidence of one of the witnesses, and the conduct of the plaintiff. Mr. KINDERSLEY (with whom was Mr. Anderson), read the affidavit of Mr. Glennie, disclaiming any intention of being disrespectful to the Court, and stating that he merely wrote the articles from an honest belief that the case of the plaintiff was founded in error. The Learned Counsel made no comments upon the affidavits, but left the case en tirely in the hands of the Court. The MASTER OF THE ROLLS said he should not give judgment without reading both the publications referred to in the affidavits, and giving the most careful attention to the affidavit of Mr. Glennie. Want of space prevents us giving a longer report of this case, but we shall give a more detailed account of the cir cumstances when his Lordship shall have delivered judg ment. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEN. 21. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Aatsuut and a London Common Jury.) RAPTA LADT TIYDE PARKER. The plaintiff in this action sought to recover the sum of 401. upon a bill of exchange, of which she was the ac ceptor, and the plaintiff purported to be the indorsee. Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. Godson) said, as the handwriting of the defendant was admitted, he would hear what defence was to be made, and have the pleasure of addressing the Jury again. Mr. KELLY (who with Mr. James appeared for the defendant) said his client had the misfortune to be locked up in the Queen's Bench for a considerable time. While in such custody she contracted a debt with a person named Clifford, for which she gave a bill of exchange for 401., dated in December 1835, and drawn at three months'date. When that bill became due, the defendant being deeply engaged in litigation was not prepared to retire it, and Clifford. in the July following, commenced proceedings upon it. The cause was sent. to a refererce, and by consent an award was taken for 401. which was to settle all matters in difference between the parties. That money was paid, but unfortunately the defendant's attor ney neglected to ask for the bill upon which the action was brought and contented himself with taking a common receipt. By some jugglery the same bill had got back into the hands of Clifford, and now formed the ground work of the present action. He then called, Mr. Hudson, who in 1836 was the attorney for Mr. Clifford. He deposed to the settlement of the former action upon a bill of exchange. He gave a common re ceipt for the money, and did not give up either the bill or the award, as they were not demanded , of -him except by Clifford, to whom he.sent them._ Mrs. Ghrimes was a friend of Lady Parker, and re sided with her in prison. In th e mont h of December Clifford called upon her Ladyship for his bill. She said she had not the money then, but would soon get the 2,0001. from Lord Lake. Clifford then asked an acceptance. The defendant agreed to give one for the amount, which was 40/., only one bill was given. Witness, after it became due, saw Clifford upon the subject of its dishonour, and he said nothing of any other bill. Mr. Austin, the Attorney for the defendant proved the payment of the amount of the award to Mr. Hudson. He was much pressed with business, and forgot to demand the award on the bill. Lord ABINGEK hoped his experience in the present case would prove a warning to him in future. Mr. PLATr said it became his duty to shew that the fraud was all en the side of Lady Hyde Parker. A more audacious attempt to evade the payment of a just debt, he had scarcely ever seen made in a Court of Justice. His Lordship had given advice to the attorney, he (Mr. P.) would seriously caution the Jury, never to divide any debt due to them for the convenience of any party, unless they took good care to make some difference either in the date or sum of the bills. If they did not, they would be sure to be dragged into a Court of Justice, and meet with a fraudulent defence like this. He called Jacob Castle, who had been a brewer, but had been four years an inmate of the prison. Mr. Clifford could not write well, arid often employed him to make out his ac counts, and draw bills for him. The body of the bill pro duced was in his handwriting ; he drew two of the same date, and for the same account, on the occasion. Cross-examined—He had been twice bankrupt, and had once taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. The first bankruptcy was for 3.000/. ; the second for 2 000/. He took the benefit of the Act for 900/. and was now four years in prison for 3601. There was no one present when he drew the bills except Clifford. James C. Clifford had been for 18 years confined in the Queen's Bench. He cooked nearly the whole time for the ladies and gentlemen prisoners. In December, 1835, he had cooked for Lady 11. Parker for two years and a quar ter. She then owed him the sum of 80/., and as he could not get money, he took two bills of 40/. They were of the same date. The one shown him was one of them which he paid away to Mr. Gibbs in January, 1836. He owed Mr. Gibbs IN., and that gentleman gave him the upon bala a b alance.

He (the Chairman) had heard the Right lion. Baronet make that speech ; and although it is diffi cult to understand statistical details, unless the facts are before you, yet he at once detected the fallacy in the statements and ar g uments of the Right H on . B aronet. Sir R. Peel had stated that an increase had taken place in the average exports of cotton-twist and yarn to all parts of the world—this was completely begging the question ; the period he bad chosen was also unfair ; th e year 1837 had been a period of great commercial distress, and the exports had consequently been much less tha n they otherwise would have been, and the exports of the following year had, of course, been much larger th an t h ey would have been, had no deficiency in the former year existed. Yet, notwithstanding his unfair statements, he (the Chairman) would meet him on his own ground, and show that he completely made out the case of the Delegates. He (Sir R. Peel) admitted that the ex port of manufactured articles bad not increased in the same ratio as the export of the raw material. In 1837 the export of cotton manufactured goods amounted to twenty millions, and in 1838 to twenty_ four millions ; the increase in the export of manufac tured goods amounted only to twelve and a-half per cent., while the increase in the exportation of yarn amounted to forty per cent. Again, he assumes that there must be an increased consumption of cotton, judg ing from the increased importation which had taken place in 1837, as compared with 1838 ; but when it is known that the stock on hand in the one year ex '2eeds the stock on hand in the other by one hundred thousand bags, all this falls to the ground ; and, although our exports may have increased to the United States, and to those countries whose ray produce we take in exchange, yet they have diminished to Saxony, and to all those countries whos ,, corn and timber we refuse to take in return. Mr. JOHNSON said that Sir R. Peel had denied they were distressed ; had they been prosperous, they would not have heal here to complain. Mr. Johnson then read the.

Sir Robert had talked of the burdens on land. Now what did they amount to ? Why, the land-tax did not average 9d. per acre per year on the lands now in cultivati on . Teen with:regard ro the malt -tax, who pays that ? Net :he landowner, but the drinker of the beer. Then with regard to the Church-rates and Poor -rates, the land owner bought his land subject to these burdens, and made his calculations in the purchase of his land accor dingly. The Church and the Poor had just the same right to their portion as the landlord had to his. But was it fair that the wealthy landlord should endeavour to shift these taxes on the consumers. A property-tax was the only fair tax. He knew not how wealthy Sir Robert Peel might be, but he was convinced that he (Mr. Johnson) paid ten times more in direct taxation than that Right lion. Baronet. Mr. AIKEN said it was true Parliament had at their command the official returns, but the evidence they would have produced was such as no official return could furnish. They had no returns shewing the in crease of manufactures in the United States, and in the States of Europe had they had such returns they would have found that articles that were formerly supplied by us were now supplied by our competitors. The Delegates had been desirous of furnishing them with information not contained in any returns. One great cause of the apparent increase of our exports was the extensive emigration which had taken place. We had exported four millions of our popu lation, and they consume a great portion of these ex ports. If ever we stopped in our progress, we should immediately retrograde—and unless the Corn-laws were repealed, we should infallibly stop. These Laws cut with a double edge, in enhancing the price of every thing to the manufacturer, in this, and in many instances prohibiting his export trade by their operation, while, at the same time, they enable his competitors to obtain every thing at the lowest possible rate. He was sorry to find an argument used in the House a Lords by Earl Winchilsea, that abundance was the cause of distress ; and he was equally sorry to find that Lord Stanhope said their object was to reduce rho ethkotuoghtitleiitr weaosn:thi7iuseLps''t'arsryttvl wages of the labourer. To that statement of Lord Winchilsea he would say—first, that it w,as totally con trary to the truth ; and, secondly, that it would have a tendency to create great turmoil in the country, whi c h it had been the object of the Delegates to allay.

DelegatesA . I went tj RA back a the public, and those Members of Parliament who had supported them in the House, should have some notion of the character of the evidence which they had in tended to present. Sir Robert Peel and in the House of Commons appeared to have overlooked a most important part of the inquiry —the agricultural portion of it.--(Hear, hear.) They were prepared to show that the continuation of the Corn-laws were de trimental to the prosperity of the agriculturists. At the same time that they ,inquired into the cause of the manufacturing distress, they had intended to inquire into the operation of the Corn-laws, as regarded the farming interest. They had wished to learn from agricu:turists what effect the free importation of grain would have on the farming interests, whether a repeal of the Corn-laws were likely to throw land out of culti vation, what were the exclusive taxes agriculturist s paid, and so on. These were the questions they would have wished to have put to agriculturists at the bar of the House of Commons.—(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") Only a few years ago there was a h eavy duty on the importation of wool. It was then about sixpence a pound, and there wa s now merely a nominal duty upon it—about id. or ld , per lb. What effect had that reduction of duty had upon the rearers of sheep? It had not injured the farmers, but 700 i (r n avtic : 8 1 aaons l ot i d li e. e i_nah- r i ,; e, t on the contrary, it had increased the demand, and the value of estates was trebled.—(Hear, hear.) He would show that Highland estates, even in the most remote t ( Ti l L i ii s hel t .eye ric Gnn t eo s l esw o sn-g f sfael i ric. s et,ee c ‘dls o , ta u 7as n ,tose t oo r s ) lo , d:).. h ei n;r a :e d it in it was sold for 60,000/.—(Hear, hear.) In 1781 7 1 hei7er improved estate f nr er lv B 7e 8 0 1 9 804 the rental of the Glenelg estate, in Inverness-shire, was 600 i. a year ; towards the close of the last century it was sold for 30,000/. ; and in 1811 it was sold fOr 1 00,000/. It had been sold since 1811, and the increase had been in the like ratio. That showed what effect the increase of manufactures bad had upon the most uncultivated lands.—(Hear.) They could show that in all the counties of Scotland, in the most agricultural counties even, the value of land had been doubled, trebled, nay even quadrupled within the last forty years, which had been entirely owing to the increase of manufactures.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Their worths , Chairman had set the example of alluding to what had passed in another place, and he thought the reason given by Lord Howick for opposing inquiry w as one that would not be satisfactory to the, country, e l. though it was one which satisfied him (Mr. Murray), that the inquiry would be P p roductive of no benefit their unhappy Noble Lord had said, " There would be unhappy Chairman in his seat—whether he would b e or whether he would be writing verses, to the evidence, . O. whether he might occasionally indulge in ' a verses, or for him to say."—( Laughter.) If little repose, it was not to be that was the way their evidence wasd. The treated, it wa s as Kell the inquiry had been refuse next sp eec h he would allude to was that of Lord Worsley. Il e h ad thought a fter the speech that Noble Lord had made at an agricultural dinner, he would not have objected to th e motion; but he appeared to have made up his n j i t) d against any repeal, and, therefore, he said it was of no use tendering evidence. Then Mr. Cayley said th at "if this were a question of hung - et, did the Hon. Gen tleman wean to assert that he thought the member s of the landed body would not come forward as soon as th e manufacturers." He (Mr. Murray) maintained it w as a question of hunger, and if Mr. Cayley had entered into the consideration of the subject, he would hav e found it was so.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Then Lord Stanley drew conclusions from the fact of a d,h_ tionat mills having been built. Why, that was part of their case--(Hear, hear) —and if they had been allowed to have gone into evidence, Lord Stanley would have seen that was not a subject for congratu tion.—( Hear, hear.) Sir Robert Peel had stated that the consumption of wheat in this country was 52,000,000 of quarters.—(A laugh). Sir Robert liked generaliz ing, but he wished that Right Hon. Gentleman would enter into details, for if he had done so, he would bare found the consumption of wheat did not amount to 15,000,000 of quarters, and would not have made the ridiculous statement he did.—(llear, hear). H owever, they could refute all the misstatements of their opponents —they would do so so, and no doubt the effect would not. be lost on the country—( Hear, hear).
