Vbtril Erttion SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. BRIGHTON AND CHELTENHAM DIRECT RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the Shareholders in the Brighton and Cheltenham Direct Railway was held this • afternoon, at the offices of Messrs. Routh, Austin-friars, for the purpoae of considering the present state a nd position of' their affairs. Mr. Williams Anderton, one of the Provisional Directors, was voted to the chair, and in opening the business of the meeting, remarked that they had met there for the purpose of having the affairs of the Company properly investigated. He was quite sure all of those present intended to do that which they thought was right, an d he need not tell them that he did so too. Ilis name was before the public in connexion with this Company, and the public had a right to expect from him eve* i explanation he conld give of it. He to ld the pr.enoters of the scheme w hen he was asked to join it, " If you mean to do that which is right with the pubic you may put my name down ; but if I afterwards find out that there is anything wrong in it, or any bubble attached to it, I shall be the first to expose you." Ho then had seventy-five shares allotted to him, upon which he paid 1571. 10s. When, therefore, he went to the office after he had paid his money, to give up the banker's receipt and sign the snb • scribers' deed and Parliamentary contract, he naturally enough expected that the scrip would be handed over to him. But no, it was not ; for after he had signed the two deeds without hesitation . he was told that the scrip was not ready, and from that day to this he had been unable to obtain it. `Subsequently, however, he ascertained that the Provi atonal I)ireetors had been disappointed with regard to the number of shares taken up, and they were investi gating the affairs of the Company with the view of dis solving it. He was then informed that the expenses would be about 2s. 6d., but certainly they would not exceed that sum ; but now he understood the amount would be 10s. per share. He must, in justice to the committee, state that they disclaimed all knowledge of the transac tions on the Stock Exchange in the shares of the Company, and they believed all the shares sold had been bought in a bond fide manner. The amount which had been paid upon deposit was 13,277/. 10s., and the liabilities of the Company were 6,5001. It was for the !meeting to determine what steps they would adopt under existing circumstances. For his part he thought it would be better to have a committee of inquiry. Mr. ROUTH said, that was the mode of proceeding be had intended to propose, giving the committee power to take what steps they thought expedient for in vestigating the affairs of the Company, and if necessary to take counsel's opinion upon the legality of the steps which had been taken by the provisional committee. Sir Wes. WHITE apprehended that the committee had no right to deduct the 10s. at all. Mr. SIMPSON said they acted under the subscribers agreement and Parliamentary contract, which gave the committee great power, but it must be remembered that there were some parties who had not executed these in struments. Mr. Ross said, from what he could learn of the pro ceedings of the committee they were taking the advice of counsel, and endeavouring to ascertain how they could legally spend the money which had been deposited in their hands instead of taking steps to secure the shareholders frora loss. Such proceedings were htldy discreditable to honourable men, and he for one would not consent to receive back his deposits minu the 10‘. per share. Sir WILLIAM WHITE said the committee ,dis claiuied all knowledge of the purchases which had lately beer. made in the shares of the Company. Now he happened to be a Member of the " house," and had sold some four hundred of the shares to the broker of the Company. They had now, however come for ward and refused him the scrip, and he could not ratify the transaction. Mes-rs. Greg and Cunbridge, two of the acting corn nsittee, hero entered the room, when the former con firmed the statement of the Chairman, that the commit tee, owing to the deposits not all being paid up, had d-terinined to dissolve the Company. Each Director in tended to subscribe for 75 instead of 50 shares, and in a few days the books and accounts would be open for the inapt ction of all parties. Soy. ral of the sharele Iders warmly censured the con duct of the managing committee, and protested that before dissolving the Company they ought to have issued Vie scrip, and then called a meeting of the shareholders to agree to a dissolution. Mr. ROUTH said, in the Belfast and Enniskillen Rail way the managing committee returned all the deposits on finding that there was not a sufficient sum subscribed to enable them to go to Parliament clear of all de ductions, taking upon themselves all the expense which had been incurred, and it would redound more to the credit of their own managing com mittee if they were to follow this example. The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Greg if he could tell how the 7,0001. liabilities had been incurred? Mr. GREG replied that it had nearly all been fairly and properly incurred. Indeed there was only one ac count that he objected to, and that was the account of the advertising agent. The CHAIRMAN asked how much that amounted to? Mr. GREG replied that it amounted to 2,2001. The advertising agent had charged 25 per cent. to the Com pany, and it must be borne in mind that he received a large per mintage from the newspapers. There was a re tainer fee of 4001. which they were in hopes they should get back again. The CHAIRMAN asked if he could tell them the amount of the solicitors' bill? Mr. GREG replied that the solicitors gave up all their charges. Mr. HARRISON then moved the appointment of a com mittee of shareholders with full power to take what steps they might deem necessary for the benefit of the share holders, which was seconded by Mr. ROUTH, and carried animously. The committee was then nominated, and thanks having been voted to the Oheirman, the meeting termi nated. -- QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) TU$ MATTER OF HENRY HUGH PIKE. In this ease a Learned Counsel applied to the Court for permission to allow the applicant, Henry Hugh Pike, to have his name placed upon the roll of attorneys. The application was grounded upon a series of affidavits, the first of which, rather a voluminous one, set forth that the applicant had been a member of the legal profession for nearly twenty-two years; that he had also been a reporter; that when he first entered the legal profession it was as an attorney, and after having practised in that capacity for some time he then be- came a member of Gray's Inn, and was called to the bar; that he had been practising as a barrister for nearly eight years upon the Home Circuit, and was in very successful pwetice, when he was disbarred, for no good or sufficient reason that he could ever discover, except for some breach of etig.tette or good manners, the precise nature of which he had never been made aware of; that he believed his expul sion had its origin in a degrading combination to drive him off the Home Circuit, but he denied that the society of Gray's Inn had any such power as they assumed to them selves of expelling a member from such a cause; that he had endeavoured to ascertain what his error was, and if in error would be ready to make any atonement in his power, but c )uld not succeed; that he had never in the whole course of his life done anything inconsistent with, or derogatory to, the honour, character, or integrity of a gentleman ; that the case had been heard by the fifteen Judges, and that they agreed to rezommend the members of Gray's Inn to reconsider the case, but they hadnot done so; that he had not practised since he had been disbarred either as a barrister or an attorney, &c. ; t hat upon these grounds he now sought to be restored to his place as an attorney, &c. The Learned Counsel having read the affidavits, then contended that with such affidavits before the Court, h• could not see how their Lordships would be warranted in refusing the application, unless, in deed, the Attorney-General should meet them by other affi davits, which he (the Learned Counsel) said he looked f ,rward to with some anxiety. The applicant, in conclusion, said that if his application should be refused, he would be deprived of the means of earning his bread. The ArIVENEY-GENERAL rose to oppose the application ; bat— Lord DItN)LIN said, in giving judgment, that the Court were unanimonsly ofopinion that it was not necessary to hear any argument in opposition to the application ; it ap peared to them so clear that it ought not to be granted, for it was quite clear that the applicant had been disbarred for some misconduct, though he had modified it by the name of some breach ef etiquette or good manners. He (Lord Denman) had never heard of such a thing as the Society of Gray's Inn dis barring a member of the profession without having some very grave and serious cause for doing so. He was aware that the fifteen judges had heard the case—he did not even bear that they had directed a re-hearing of fhe case—but he was aware that those judges were unanimously of opinion that the Society of Gray's Inn had coins to a very proper decision in this case. The applicant said that there had been a conspiracy entered into against him to prevent his practising upon a certain circuitwhere he hadbeen somewhat succeeeful ; but from his (Lord Denman's) recollection of the case, he should say he did not think there was any founda tion fur the attacks that the applicant had made upon others, and his (Lord Denman's) opinion upon the course adopted by the Members of Gray's Inn had !seen formed more upon the affidavits of the applicant himself, in which be said he set focth all the circumstances of the case, than from any other cause, and he believed such was the case in regard to the opinions of the other judges also. He thought it was only what was due to others to state that fact. Under those circumstances, then, he felt compelled to sa7 that It was merely trifling with the time of the Court to persevere in the application. It might not, perhaps, be well to punish the party ; but certainly the Court felt bound to protect their profession. The applicant appeared to labour under some incapacity to find out what it wo that he had been disbarred fur, but the Court were cf opinion that it was such a matter as should not warrant thein is allowing him to be placed upon the roll of attorneys. The Court could not be held responsible for the consequences which the applicant stated would result. to himself by this re fi t s.]: but they were responsible for the protection of all branch.e3 of the profe:ssion, and therefore it wa s qu i te impos sible they could listen to this application.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—There is a certain work on " Corn and Currency" most respectfully and sympathiAically ad dressed to the landowners by one of their class, and dis playing more than sufficient information and ability to account for its having come to a second edition. Long ere this, however, it would have been overlaid and for gotten under the subsequent accumulation of literature on and about those recondite subjects, but for one little circumstance. If it has not conferred celebrity on its author, its author has done that service to it ; for it is by no less a person than Sir James Graham (of Ne theiby), Bart., M.P. Though rather passes in some of its topics—for it was published in 1826—it possesses, under the circumstances, a freshness ever new, and an interest just now more than ever on the ascendant. It has been carefully investigated by those who consider it discreditable to modify a published opinion, and, we are bound to add, that their generous industry has not been entirely without its reward. How far the Right Hon. Author may himself be haunted by his lit3ra scripta or his vox nassa —those once for midable bugbears of political men—perhaps we are not the party to guess. But if there ever was a time when he might turn over the leaf not only with that mental and visible composure which practice alone can impart, but also with advantage to the nation, that time, we think, has now arrived. The currency is the chief' subject of the book, and would undoubtedly have been first in the title had that been an euphoneous arrange ment. On this point Sir James Graham exhibits a very keen apprehension of the misery and injustice occasioned by the alternate expansions and contractions of the cir culating medium during and after the war. llow far these vicissitudes were entirely artificial, how far they resulted from political and commercial events, and how far they are now completely under the control either of Bank or Parliament, are questions apparently beside the scope of Sir James's inquiries. He makes out a case against the Act of 1795, and not less against the Act of 1819 ; he describes the crisis of 1825, and one or two more ; he exhibits some striking tables ; detects some considerable wrongs ; but perhaps leaves no impression so definite as that a depreciation of the currency, from whatever reason arising, has an almost exactly proportionate effect in in creasing the price of corn and other principal commodi ties of life. It is the now Right Hon. Bat onet's view of the corn-laws which gives to the work its chief present in terest; and fortunately this also is the point on which he happens to be most explicit. Addressing himself to his brother landowners he probably felt that figures would be asked for, and while he assures them of their abstract right to some equivalent boons which a just Legislature would certainly allow, he recommends them to volunteer the first step in the adjustment by surrenderin , their share in the existing injurious compromise. He asks them, in fact, to give up all attempt to fix the price of corn, and content themselves with what he calls a " pro tective " duty of 15s. a quarter,—to accept a fixed duty in lieu of a fixed price. Advice so unpalatable is intro. iluced with a preface so much to the purpose, so gene rally significant, and so peculiarly appropriate to the Right lion. Baronet's own career, that our readers will thank us for the extract : " I am aware that you will not be inclined to attend to the suggestions which I am about to offer ; past errors are ad mitted with reluctance; measures of precaution, especially if they be of a decisive character, are slowly adopted against dangers which are not immediate; and the course of legisla tion is very rarely the result of previous wisdom ; it is rather guided by circumstances, and influenced by the occasion." Sir James makes it his purpose to view a prohibitory system of corn-laws 'in the bearings as an attempt to regulate prices. Wishing well to the landowners—nay, avowing a decided predilection in their favour—for that very reason he advises them to renounce a compensation which does not really save them from the losses entailed by gold payments raid contracted issues. " It may be doubted even whether the existing (1826) system of prohibition be so entire a benefit to the landowner himself as he would seem tc imagine; for, in the variety of seasons, it is impossible that the land cultivated within these islands can, year by year, from one harvest to another, pro duce a supply of corn exactly commensurate with the de mand. At one time the prohibitory system is unjust to the grower; at another, to the consumer. The grower is injured when, after a harvest somewhat deficient , the ports are opened by a sudden rise of price, and a large accumulation of foreign corn is poured at once into this country; bringing on the farmer the losses incident to over-production, and ultimately to the landlord a correspondent decline of rent. The consumer is injured in the interval between the rise of price and the importation of foreign grain ; he is even exposed to the horrors of famine ; for in proportion as the demand for foreign grain is unusual, the supply in case of emergency must be precarious. Thus the alternate evils of redundancy and scarcity, unsteady prices and uncertain rents, are the inevitable consequences of the present system of our corn-laws. Farming is therefore made both a gambling and a hazardous speculation. No caution can guard against ruin , ous losses, for no prudence can foresee the chanees on which they depend ; whether the price of wheat will rise to 78s. per quarter, when the profit of the farmer would be enor mous, or touch the maximum of 80s., when by the opening of the ports and of the granaries of corn in bond, wheat would instantly fall at least 50 per cent., to his entire ruin, is a matter almost of accident, frequently influenced by fraud; thus the full operation of the present corn-laws ex poses agricultural capital to losses rather incident to the tiazard table that to fair mercantile speculation." As the writer proceeds to prove, the conclusion is that " thus revenue from the soil is literally made the sport of wind and of weather." It is unneces sary to observe that the argument applies to the present Aiding-scale as much as to that against which the enlightened Lord of Netherby was levelling .his indignant remonstrances. Still less is it neces sary to remind our readers of a recent instance which fully illustrates the tendency to a sudden ruinous lownfal. Amongst the numerous resources and claims of the present Ministry is the stock of credit it has ;mined by a certain million pounds sterling, or therea bouts, paid at once into the Treasury on the importation of several millions of quarters of foreign corn, the effect of which, pleasant as it might be to the manufacturers ind her Majesty's Ministers, was to lower the price of corn immediately more than the Baronet's 50 per cent. It is only just now that the national and universal cala mity of a bad harvest has rescued the agriculturists out of that slough of despond ; though we are by no means sure that the agriculturists will not find the remedy worse than the disease. But let us go on with Sir James. We shall find him keeping up the spirit of his argument "The landlord's best customer is the manufacturer; but his prosperity depends entirely on high profits, which it is the avowed tendency of high prices to reduce. (As the writer had demonstrated above.) If corn be dearer in Eng land than elsewhere, wages must be higher; and if wages be higher, profits must be lower • thus our foreign compe titers obtain the greatest possible edvantage; and if the sys tem become permanent, manufacturing employment, except for the home market, must decrease in this country; and surely it is not the interest of any class so to enhance the price of labour and provisions as to secure to the foreigner successful competition, and to choke with obstructions the principal channels of native industry. The feeling of the public must be hostile to the present corn-law ; the receivers of rent are a very small body ; backed by public opinion they are almost omnipotent; in violation of public opinion they cannot long retain an exclusive advan tage. The contest is fearful; for on what ground will it be decided ? On the very topic which inflames to madness ; that hunger which breaks through walls will be art ayed against them, reason will be heard no longer, the barriers of society will be broken dawn, and estates, distinctions, honours, swept away in one resistless torrent." ft is impossible to suppose that arguments so cogent in themselves, so emphatically and so eloquently expressed, can be either forgotten or unfelt. We are sure, how ever, that we do the writer a service in recalling them as well to his attention as to that of his many admiring readers. Even from the grave and obsolete antiquity would we search for reasons and motives on such a theme; much more then from the early writings of one who happily still lives to give them their full, mature, ind practical force. In a day or two we will present our readers with a little more virgin ore from the same mine. the surplus corn of foreign countries, for our mer chants can afford to pay, while others cannot. Why then should we derange that which is going on steadily, as business ought to go on ? If there be an insufficient supply, the price thereby produced ' will open the ports. The sliding-scale will open the ports, and by that time (though not before) something will have been provided by our merchants worth opening the ports for. To open them now, would serve no pur pose but that of gratifying the factious views of the Anti- Corn-law League. It is said that we knowingly post pone our demand for foreign wheat till the time when the supply will be most costly. Another absurdity— another falsehood. We do not postpone our demand. Our demand is now steadily proceeding, and we are ac quiring foreign corn at less cost, because we are acquir ing it while a considerable barrier exists between the foreign produce and the British consumer. The propa gators of lies on the subject of the supply of foreign corn leave entirely out of account the operations of our merchants in anticipation of the future demand. They assume what they must he ignorant, indeed, if they do not know to be false, that until our ports are open, no purchase, or no important purchase, of foreign grain takes place. It is strange that any portion of the public should be gulled by nonsense such as this. We believe the sliding-scale to be right in principle, but whether it be right or wrong, the operation of those whose businese it is to watch and calculate upon ' the facts which they are at the utmost pains to ascer tain—the operations of the great dealers in corn, have been adapted to the machinery of the sliding-scale. In conformity with what may be expected from it, they are making their preparations, and to Open the ports suddenly, while their measures are in progress,- would be to ruin them, and to destroy our own moans of safety, if, indeed, it be true that we shall require considerable aid from foreign supply. If, again, it be true that our own produce is considerably short of our ordinary con sumption, what palpable madness it is to be clamouring for cheapness of price ! Does not every one know that a rise in price is the natural remedy which the habits and the reason of mankind supply to induce economy in the use of the commodity of which a scarci'y is appre hended ? Shall we by any desperate measure seek a momentary depression of the price of home-grown corn, and thus induce a greater consumption at the very mo ment that we say we have not enough to sustain the pre sent rate of consumption till next harvest ?' Really, such representations are too preposterous to be borne with common patience. We have the satisfaction, however, of believing that the Government is not tnided by the lies which are pelted about town and country with such vehemence ; and we hope Government will have manli ness enough not to give way before clamour, which it well knows to be dishonest. CHRONICLE.—The Nation recommends to the con sideration of repeal wardens, to be read in their parishes, a " few short and easy rules " as to the uses to which railways may be put. We had the gratification of printing them in the Chronicle yesterday : " A hint on this subject," the Nation says, " may be thought enough ; but we see no objection to speaking plainly ; and, therefore, we give a few practical views, which may be improved as engineers turn their attention to the subject. " First, then, every railway within five miles of Dublin could in one night be totally cut off from the interior coun try. To lift a mile of rail, to fill a perch or two of any cutting or tunnel, to break down a piece of an embankment, seem obvious and easy enough. " Second—The materials of railways, good hammered iron and wooden sleepers, need we point out that such things may be of use in other lines than assisting locomotion. -....-. POST.—No language we could use would be too strong to express the indignation which every just man—which every man who loves truth—ought to feel, at the present moment, against those who are labouring in the pub'ic press to excite an alarm of famine. That this iniquitous project is undertaken solely tor a party purpose is evi dent. The enemies of the law which gives protection to the British agriculterist, hope, by exciting a public cla mour, and producing a pressure from without, to cause the Government to open the ports for the reception of foreign corn free of duty. They further hope that this grand object having been accomplished, they will have influence enough to obstruct for ever the revival of the law which restricts and regulates the import of foreign grain. It is the grossest hypocrisy to pretend that the exaggeration and violent declamation about impending fa:nine, to which we allude, arise out of a real concern for the British consumers. They who are acquainted with the subject know very well, that the real opera tion of the opening of the ports would be an imme• diate rise of the price abroad, and, in fact, a putting into the pockets of the foreign hol ders the diffe rence which now exists between the price of free corn and foreign corn in bond, and liable to duty. The foreign holders are closely watching our proceedings, and the moment they have reason to believe that we must buy from them at any price, they will make us pay accordingly. During the short time that an in fluential journal led the world to believe that the ports were about to be opened, wheat in foreign ports rose some seven shillings a quarter, and it has fallen again since events have proved that the journal in question had been misled, and had consequently misled th e public. It is difficult to say whether the falsehood or the nonsense promulgated on the foreign - corn question by the alarmists is the more conspicuous. We look on, say they, and we see other nations supplying themselves in the foreign ports which we refuse to enter. Refuse t o Inter ! What outrageous absurdity is this ! Does any one suppose that the duty imposed upon foreign corn, when brought to market for consumption in England, prevents our merchants from purchasing foreign corn ? The very reverse is the truth. Our merchants are now steadily and leisureiy supplying themselves with 'oreign corn at every port in the world where it can be bought. They are carrying on their operations set ject o the gradual effects of the sliding-scale, upon which they can calculate, and beyond all question our chance of foreign supply is infinitely better under this system than if all were thrown into a state of confusion and chaos by the ipening of the ports. 'l'tien, indeed, a helter-skelter ,erarnble would take "place, and all the well-planned operations of trade would be rendered of no avail. There is no nation in the world supplying itself in foreign ports as England is at this moment. At this moment offers of cargoes of wheat from the Mediterranean are daily arriving to our merchants. It would not be so, if, in a paroxysm of madness or of fear, the Ministers were to open the ports. This would be hoisting a signal of distress which, far from bringing succour, would make the foreigner hold off till we paid double for assistance. It is said we are looking on while our neighbours lay in stores which they will be prevented by restrictive laws from sharing with us. Another most absurd untruth. It is we who are laying in the stores. Our merchants, and not foreign merchants, are buying up "Third—Troops upon their march by rail might be con veniently met with in divers places. Hofer, with his Tyro - liens ' could hardly desire a deadlier ambush than the brinks of a deep cutting upon a railway. Imagine a few hundred men lying in wait upon such a spot, with masses of rock and trunks of trees ready to roll down—and a train or two ad vancing with a regiment of infantry, and the engine pant ing near and nearer, till the polished studs of brass on its front are distinguishable, and its name may nearly be read; Now, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost " But 'tis a dream. No enemy will dare put us to realise these scenes. Yet, let all understand what a railway may, and what it may not do.". _ _ It requires a fine philanthropist and legislator to dis cover such advantages in the railway. system—one of those obstinate martyrs whe would cut off his nose in order to spite his face. Suppose the rails are down and the tunnels complete, the Irish philosopher instantly begins to think how it would be easy to lift the former and fill up the latter again. This also would give fresh work to the neglected poor ; and, causing a wholesome and perpetual demand upon capitalists, would enforce a circulation of money through the country. " Second — good hammered iron and wooden sleepers" would be capitally handy to make pikes with. The " second" is admirable : the logical precision and neatness of the rules to be read in parishes. Get your subscriptions and your Parliamentary Acts ; pay your engineers, landowners, and workmen ; and you have at once good hammered iron and wooden sleepers ready for demo lishing Saxons. The cheapness of the weapon is unde niable. The boys could have the pikes for nothing. There are historical examples for the practice. The refined and intrepid Vandals, when they invaded Rome, pulled out the iron clamps of the Colosseum for the same purpose : the Turks (an exceedingly civilised and maligned race) fired off the heads and limbs of Phidias' statues from the Parthenon, when be sieged there. There is also the case of the enlightened Chinese, mentioned by Charles Lamb, who having eaten a pig which was roasted in the burning of a house, burned down a house every day with a pig in it, in order to get his favourite crackling. Young Ireland is for legislating in this way. Travellers, who have visited the country, have seen the system many times put in practice; and in the Irish domestic, economy have admired a piano figur ing very handsomely as an apple-cupboard, or a window replaced advantageously by a pair of pantaloons or a wig. Here it is proposed to employ the plan on a grand and noble scale, and to put arms in the hands of ingenious patriots who are about to levy war. Then we wind up with the night attack—the Irish in ambush, with the rocks and trees handy; the smashing of the engine, and the roasting, crushing, and slaughter of the Saxon regiment in the train. And the whole of the wretched, tawdry romance finishes with that accustomed invoca tion so commonly used among certain patriots in Ire land now—not the Nation writers merely. The Captain Rocks and Molly Maguire's men used a similar one before they went out to murder. Has Swift left no suc cessor? Are these people, who could listen to sense and wit once, to be led by such harangues as those of Mr. Sinnott the other day, and as this of the Nation ? Fancy a country in which popular journals are found which call these plans of incendiarism "practical views"---a country where starvation is imminent, and employment is the only chance of averting it. The native legislators do their best at this moment to frighten out of Ireland its sole means of livelihood, as if in such a time, and to starving men, bread were not more necessary than the best Parliament that ever was "devised, or all the spouters that ever roared through lungs ! You want your land lords to come and live among you ; shoot at those who are there, and so encourage the rest back again. You want money and work ; curse and threaten the only people in the world that can give it you. You want railroads to develope your own internal resources ; pro mise to destroy them, so that you may get pikes to kill the Saxon with. This argument goes on day by day, and is talked to the best, wisest, bravest, cleverest people in the world. If Swift were but by to listen to it I But they seem to prefer an orator out of Swift's Hospital now—a bedlamite with a murderous monomania. SENTINEL—The total abolition of the corn-laws seems now at hand. The friends of the farmers who rejected the fixed duty of the Whigs, will ere long be driven by the man of their choice to surrender the whole of their monopoly. There is no longer any opportunity for parly or compromise. Impending famine, the precut., or of riot, it may be of revolution, threatens to extort the opening of the ports. We may have soon to select between the downfal of the landowners or the sub version of the monarchy. The gigantic fraud of pro tection against foreign growers of corn has been laid bare in all its details. It is now known that protection means robbery, since it throws taxation on the irelus trious classes and exempts the property classes from its pressure. But more than this is known. It is well understood that the imposition of the taxes on food was originally consented to, on condition that the lanllords would support the Bullion Committee in the Bill which compelled the Bank of England to resume cash payments. Sir James Graham is our authority, and he has called that bargain an imprudent bargain; we denounce it as a base one ; and punishment is now, though tardily, about to overtake the criminals. But let us attempt to exhibit the bearings of this question without heat or rancour, neither as exclusive partisans of manufactures or agriculture, for there has been too much of vituperation, too little of argument on both sides. We will endeavour to write in the spirit of a mediator between extreme parties. Why did the land owners originally demand the exclusion of foreign corn from the home market ? Because they perceived that the highly taxed labour of this country could not compete with the comparatively low taxed labour of the rest of the world. Had we been free from a national debt at the peace of 1815, the landlords would not have sought or required any legis lative protection ; therefore, in reality, it was not the dread of the foreign producer, but the dread of the domestic tax- gatherer that guided their polity. Or, if this mode of stating the fact be deemed ambiguous, we would say that the domestic tax-gatherer immediately and the foreign producer mediately created the corn laws. In simple truth, high taxes render high prices necessary ; monopoly is favourable to high prices ; therefore the landlords claimed a monopoly for the commodities which they sold. So far, they only acted as all other traders would act, had they the power ; they threw off taxation from themselves and placed it on the consumers of grain and other farm produce. Now, had the Legislature granted to all other classes of producers the same amount of protection its they conceded to the agriculturists, there would have been no esuse of complaint.. But the very reverse was the case. The next measure was Peel's Bill of 1819. That Bill, overlooking the fact, that taxes ought to enhance prices in exact proportion to such taxes, enacted that gold, at its natural cr untaxed value, should be the standard measure of all taxed commodi ties. The consequence was, that, while all ap icultu rel produce remained high, all other industrial produce became low ; so that the landlord was enabled to sell his produce dear, and buy all other produce cheap. This is the real iniquity of the system. The nobility, by a fraud, became as fiscally privileged, as were the French nobility before the Revolution : they suc ceeded by the joint action of the money laws and the corn-laws wholly to escape taxation ; for, whatever they paid to the tax gatherer _they always got back again, and generally with a high bonus from the con. sumers of the food in which they traded. Repeal the corn-laws and retain Peel's Bill. and then the landlords would have to sell as cheap as other traders. It is the knowledge of this fact that makes them so tenacious of their privilege. Is there any mode by which, on sur rendering their monopoly, they could still obtain high prices to cover their just share of taxation as pro ducers ? Undoubtedly there is. It is by reverting to that currency under which prices rose during the war, and there is no other mode. To this the manufacturer would not object, as such high prices, being paper prices, and not gold prices, his trade with foreigners would not be effected. The manu facturer would still be able to sell cheap to the foreigner, while he would sell dear at home ; and, thug, he also would throw his share of taxation on the consumer. If agriculturists and manufacturers could only see these points, they would form one common league against the usurers and moneymongers to whom both are the unconscious victims. As to the working classes, they also would receive high wages; and, by high wages, we specially mean, such wages as would corer all the indirect taxes they now pay on all they consume. Thus, all the industrious, of every grade, would be liberated from fiscal burthens, which would fall, where they ought to fall, on property. Such is the equitable and honourable adjustment we propose between the lords of the plough and the loom. EXTRAORDINARY MORTALITY. . Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Waltley-, M.P. resumed an adjourned inquiry, in the board-room of Mid eflest-x Hospital, telati‘e to the respective deaths of William Lambert, aged 17, and Henry Lambert, aged 12, brothers, forming two of a numerous family, who had died in that institution under the following extraordinary and mysterious circumstances. Many medical gentle men attended the investigation. . . It will be recollected that on the former occasion it appeared in evidence that the father of the deceased, who carried on business as a painter and glazier, at No. 33, Cumberland-market, died about twelve weeks since, sub sequent to which his widow, three sons, daughter, and grand-daughter, had been seized with a malady which they considered was the scarlet fever. The grand-daughter however dying, and the sons becoming daily worse, they were on the 4th inst. removed to the hospital, where on the 13th, William died, and on the 15th, Henry. As the cause of their deaths could in no way be accounted for by any of the medical gentlemen who saw them, Mr. Corte, the house apothecary, communicated with Mr. NTalc.ley, and the result was the present investigation. On the re-assembling of the jury yesterday, the de puty coroner having read over the evidence before ad duced, the following witnesses were examined: — Mc. W. Curie stated that the deceased were admitted into that hospital on Tuesday, the 4th instant, together with another brother who still remained there, and was gradually progressing towards recovery. They all ex hibited precisely the same symptoms, and had been at tacked in the same manner. The indistinctness of their articulation rendered it very difficult for them to explain the nature of their complaint. Witness considered them to be labouring under a poisonous effluvium arising from the sewer in the neighbourhood in which they had re sided. The eldest brother, John Lambert, still survived. There was a great swelling about the jaws and throat, with an excessive fcetid discharge from the mouth and nostrils, and from the cause before mentioned they could not be questioned as to their condition. Another symptom was a most voracious appetite. Leeches were applied to the jaws, and the knees and elbows became very much swollen and painful. On examination of the body of the deceased, Wm. Lambert, after death, he found both the knee joints to contain a thick fluid. The membrane of the larynx was reduced. Nothing unusual was found in the stomach. The lower part of the miophagus was healthy, but there was a laceration about the gums. In a case of poimnisig recorded in a German periodical, and trans!ated by Dr. Harrison (an extract of which was read by the witness), the symptoms very much corre sponded with those of the deceased. On a post mortem examination of the deceased Henry, ulceration of the larynx was discovered. The veins did not exhibit any inflammation, and the stomach as well as the other organs were quite healthy, but the breast and ankle joints wete found to contain putrid. matter. He (wit ness) had never during his fourteen years' practice at that hospital met with so peculiar a case. The disease was quite new to him, and as he ha 3 stated to the Co roner when he forwarded his communication, it was his opinion that death was the result of some poisonous animal matter, but what that animal matter was he was unprepared to say. The case had struck all the medical gentlemen who had heard of it as one of the most in comprehensible in the annals of medicine. lerancis Amelia Lambert, sister to the deceased, was next called, and said that on the 4th of October last she went to nurse, during her illness, her sister, Mrs. Win grove, wife of a brewer's vat maker, living in Whet stone-park, Lincoln's Inn-fields. Two or three days afterwards witness was seized with sickness and pains in her loins, with sore throat and a rash all over her. She remained there till the 10th, when becoming worse, she returned home to her mother's, where her voice failed her, and on the 14th her skin peeled off. She was better the following day and very hungry, but was unable to open her mouth, and her sister (Mrs. Wingrove) was the same. Witness, however, eventually rallied and re covered. On the 19th her (witness's) child aged ten months, became ill under similar symptoms, which were stated by an apothecary in the neighbout hood to be scarlet fever, and it died on the 2d inst., before which time witness's mother had been also attacked, but re stared to health. Between the 28th and 30th ult., the deceased and her (witness's) brother John, whose age was 20, had been seized in the like way as herself, and were removed on the day before mentioned to that hos ditel in a cab. The CORONER—Mr. Corte, have you no means of con voying persons here ? Mr. Corfe—No, sir. CORONER—That is a very wrong thing, Here are three persons brought to this place in a vehicle, all of whom are labouring under a most frightful and infeeti- ous disease. The consequence is, that after they had alighted, others might have got into the same convey ance, and thus the disease might spread. Was there no application made to the hospital relative to the deceased prior to their admission ? Mr. Corfe—No, sir. Charlotte Lambert, mother of the deceased, corrobo- rated her daughter's evidence. Mr. Headland, surgeon, of Guildford -street, Russell square, deposed that he was called about a month since to attend Mrs. Wingrove, who was suffering from swell ings in the throat, which rapidly ran into suppurations. They occurred so quickly below both jaws on either side as to keep her mouth closed for fourteen or fifteen days, during which time she could scarcely swallow nourish ment. Before twenty-four hours had elapsed his atten tion was attracted to her child, an infant at the breast, which had swellings of a similar character, and which, in two days after ran into large cavities, one in the face and the other in the neck. Witness believed that to the velocity of the suppuration was to be attributed the saving of life, other" ise the constitutional disturb ance would have been so great from the frightfully in fectious and contagious nature of the disease as to have caused their deaths. On his second visit he gave orders that all persons should be kept away from his patient except a nurse, but no one seemed inclined to attend her, when Mrs. Wingrove sent for her sister (the witness Frances Lambert), who immediately came. On a sub sequent visit he saw the witness at Mrs. Wingrove's, and thought she was ailing, and on his next calling she had returned home. It occurred to him as to whether these cases might not be some of the forms of scarlet fever, but he could find no rash in either case, and it was now his decided opinion that such was not the fact. CORONER—Did you at that time, or have you subse quently, endeavoured to trace the source of the matter? Witness—Yes, I am induced to ascribe this malady to some special peculiarity of the atmosphere, and I must say, that the house and premises, in the yard of which there are pigs, fowls, &c., is altogether an unwholesome place. By a juror—He certainly considered the disease was attributable to some atmospheric circumstance of a spe cific character. By the CORONER—He had never met with any other such cases, although he had had for years a most ex tensive practice. It was one of the most extraordi dinary eases perhaps on record. Witness had done all he could to prevent the spreading of this very peculiar and unprecedented disease. He would further remark, that there was a drain in Lincoln's Inn-fields, near to tha house occupied by Mr. Wingrove, which was, with out exception, the worst drain in all London. The CORONER (emphatically)—Ah! you had better mention that fact distinctly, because there are some very rich and influential people in Lincoln's Inn-fields, awl that drain it would seem is in the very midst of the part they inhabit. Witness (in continuation)—There are three or four houses in that neighbourhood positively unfit for habi- tation. The CORONER—Can you name the disease of which the deceased died? Witness—No, sir. CORONER (to Mr. Corle)—Can you? Mr. Corfe—l cannot, sir. The same question was put to several gentlemen in the room who had assisted in the case, and whose replies were also in the negative. There being no further evidence, The CORONER proceeded to sum up. He remarked that the disease which occasioned the deaths of the de ceased was quite as unaccountable to him as it was to the gentlemen iyho had spoken, and it would be remem• bered on the first assemblage of the jury there was rea son to suspect that it had originated in the vicinity of Cumberland-market, but it was now quite evident that it was not so. He (the Coroner) felt quite satisfied that it did not originate there at all, and he cculd conceive nothing could be plainer than that it had been car ried there from Whetstone-park. The observations of Mr. Corfe precisely- corresponded with those of • Mr. Headland, and it seemed true that it was a specific disease, which was communicable appa rently by contagion, as also by infection. Mr. Corfe, a gentleman of many years' practice at that establishment, had stated that he considered it to be caused by a poisonous effluvium from animal matter, and that the case was of an entirely new character. He .the Coroner, however, did not believe, although it was evi dont that the deaths of the deceased had been caused by pison, that anything of a deleterious nature had been adthinistered. After some further observations, the Coroner) concluded by complimenting the jury on the great attention they had paid to that which he con si-ered an important public inquiry, and which he trusted would gain a publicity whereby the attention of her Majesty's Commissioners of Sewers would be called to the immediate locality of Lincoln's Inn-fields ; and at the same time he hoped the distressing condition of Mrs. Lambert, who had so suddenly suffered a domestic affliction, would attract the notice of the benevolent. The jury then, after some consultation, returned the foilowicg verdict :—" That the deaths of the deceased William and Henry Lambert were caused by some poi sonous effluvium, to the jury unknown." James Steel, Esq., editor and proprietor of the Carlisle Journal, and a Liberal in politics, was, on Monday week, re elected Mayor of Carlisle by the unanimous votes of a full meeting of Town Council. Miss Stuart, the young tragic actress, who has made so great a sensation at Liverpool, is daughter of Mr. Staart, of the Haymarket Theatre, and was born in Ply mouth in the latter part of 1827, consequently is scarcely eighteen years of age. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 25.) SUGAR.—To day there was a better desire manifested to purchase British Plantation Sugar, and merchants displayed more firmness; a fair business was transacted in grocery and Refining kinds, and the rates given were equal to those of Friday ; indeed in some cases 6d per cwt advance was ob tained. REFINED.—To day the home demand was active for Re fined goods, and higher rates were obtained : brown lumps according to quality fetching 65s to 665, and Standard lumps 675. Bonded Crushed is wanted, and was with difficulty to be had under 34s per cwt for first quality. MAURITIUS.—There has been little desire manifested to purchase this description of Sugar. The small parcels sold privately were. in some cases upon easier terms. None has been brought to public sale. There has again been no arrival, and the stock is less than that of last year. EAST INDIA —This afternoon two parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 2,154 bags were submitted to public competi tion, but a part only at the former value. FOREIGN.—There has been no public sale this week, and by private treaty the quantity of all kinds of foreign on offer is still small. The purchases male by private treaty in yellow Havannah have been extremely limited, still holders are reluctant to take lower rates. In white we have heard of no business having been done. Of Porto Rico only small parcels have been sold at the former value. In Cuba Mus covado little has been done, and 22s to 25s per cwt is the value. Brazil is not to be had upon lower terms. RIM—To-day thare was little de-ire evinced to purchase Bengal privately : two parcels amounting to 1,451 bags were offered at public sale, and a part only sold at a decline on former rates of 6d per cwt. Madras is little wanted and prices are not so firm. Of Java there is still little to be had, but it has been little called for. Cleaned Rice is held with firmness and is wanted. COFFEE.—To-day there was no public sale of any descrip tion of Coffee, and the market for all home trade kinds has a very firm appearance. Good ordinary pale Ceylon was not to be purchased privately under 50s per cwt. TEA.—There has been no public sale since this day week, but there is a fair quantity of Black and Green on offer by private treaty. Congou has been purchased with caution, and the rates taken are rather under those previously quoted, common selling at 9id to 10d. good common lOid to Ild, but mid and mid blksh leaf 111 d to is 4d, good strong blksh leaf Is 5d to Is 7d, fine is 8d to is 10d, and Pekoe , flavour is 101 to is 10d to 9.s 6d. Pouchong is not cheaper: but little has been clone. The amount of business done in Twankay has been to a small extent only, and at barely former rates. Notwithstanding the low rates at which Hyson is to be purchased, the trade operate with caution. Gunpowder is dull of sale, Canton kind at is 10d to 2s 6d, and Hyson sort 2s 7d to 4s. Scented Orange Pekoe has been purchased with more freedom and prices are firmer. Young Hyson has been sold to a fair extent. The lower sorts of Congou are a little cheaper than last year, whilst the better ere much the same as at that time. wankay is a little cheaper than last season, and Hyson, Imperial, and Gunpowder, are 5d to Is per lb lower than at that time. SPICES.—This afternoon black Pepper met with attention ; at public sale 1,494 bags of Malarbar were sold at rather lower rates, and went as follow, half heavy brown at 3i t cl to 3id, half heavy rather greyish 3d to 3bd, sea damaged lid to ncl, sweepings 2id ; 1,092 bags of Penang were all bought in at 2ad for light earthy and dusty, and 21d. for good light. SPrrars.—The unexpected announcement of a Government contract for 100,000 gallons of Rum has caused an extensive demand for Leeward Island, and an advance in prices has taken place. In Calcutta a go , d business has been done, and prices have risen. Demerara is wanted, and of low strengths several parcels have been sold at improved rates; strong sorts are fetching 3s 3d to 3s 6d. Holders of Jamaica show firmness, and a fair business has been transacted, 29 to 37 per cent. proof has been selling at 3s 6d to 4s, and superior 4s 2d to 5s per gallon. The business transacted in Brandy has been to a small ex tent only, and holders experience difficulty in getting formes ratan. Of Geneva several parcels have been taken for exporta tion at 2s 3d to 2s4d for corn.. and fine for home consumption is fetching 2s 7d to 2s 10d. For English Corn Spirits the demand has been active at lOs 9d per gallon net cash, and a further advance is expected shortly. Malt Spirits, ac cording to quality, is worth 12s 9d to 13s 6d. Gin has been extensively dealt in, 17 per cent. under proof at 9s 7d, and 22s under 9s 2d per gallon. Leeward Island Rum was much sought after and prices keep on the advance, sales having been made at 2s 3d to 2s 31,d per gallon proof strength. Of Calcutta 400 hhds were sold by the Dobah Company at 2s 2d proof with certificate. Jamaica is held with firmness : 29 to 35 per cent over proof at 38 to 4s, and fine at 4s 2d to 4s 9d per gallon. HOPS.—There has been only a moderate business trans acted since this day week, but in the value little variation has taken place. Wool..—Prices keep up for all descriptions, but there has been only a limited business done—the consumption however, continues to be goad, and fully as large as last season. SALTPETRE.—To-day there was a brisk demand for Rough. and prices are on. the ascendancy. At auction 301 bags of Calcutta went at 27s for good strong grey 51 per cent refraction, which was a rise on the rates of the last public sale of Gd per' cwt. Many parcels were sold privately at 25s Gd to 27s 6d and fine 28s to 28s Gd per cwt. For English Refined the demand has been active at 30s to 30s Gd per, cwt. The demand for Saltpetre is partially speculative. Nitrate of Soda is dull of sale at 14s to 15s per cwt, which is lower. INDlGo.—Holders of East India experience difficulty in getting last sales rates for any descriptions; the home and export demand being extremely limited. In Spanish there has been scarcely any business done. &OILS.—Palm has been only in limited demand, and prices on the decline. Cocoa Nut has been in excellent request, and an advance in value has occurred. Although Olive is to be had upon lower terms, still the home trade have operated with caution. Rape Seed Oil is still in good re quest, and the supply continuing small prices keep firm. For Linseed Oil further reduced rates are taken, the quantity produced being still very large. A further reduction having occurred in the value of Cod, buyers have been tempted to operate more freely. In Seal Oil a fair business was trans acted in consequence of rather lower prices, being accepted. Of Southern some parcels have been taken by private treaty but at low rates. In Sperm a good business has been trans acted privately at firm rates. TALLOW.—lmporters of Russian have been more inclined to sell on account of the large arrivals both here and at Liverpool, and they have submitted to a reduction on previous rates of 3d- per cwt. Town Tallow has sold freely - at 41s 6d to 42s nett cash. Other descriptions have met with less attention, and previous rates are barely sustained. The consumption of Tallow still far exceeds that of last year, and the stock is much less than it was at that time : in prices there is little difference. A BULL IN A BUTTER-SHOP.—Yesterday consider able alarm was occasioned by the vagaries of a bullock which had been purchased at Smithfield by a buteher at Knights bridge, but on the way from market escaped from the drovers, and ran otf towards the City-road, followed by a multitude of boys and idle fellows, and it at !ast having become quite wild from the noise and shouting, and after dodging somo time around the omnibuses and other vehicles, made a rush into the shop of Mr. Brook, a cheesemonger, &c., near the City- road turnpike. Passing round one of the counters, where its carcase completely filled up the passage, the animal stood panting and gazing through the window into the road. while, by his occasional efforts to get free, the butter and eggs were scattered about the shop, and part of the counter was thrown down. Nearly an hour elapsed before it could be extricated. Relieved from that situation, the animal wev pursued by the disorderly rabble into Hoxton and back again to the City-road, and finally ran into the yard of a wheel wright in the Curtain-road, where a cart was broken and other damage done. Being at length secured, it was conveyed in a cart to Knightsbridge, to the premises of the purchaser, Mr. Bovne, who promised to pay the various parties for the mischief it had committed. STATE OF TRADE. - Trade is again a little flatter this week. Yarns and wools remain the same. The woollen glove trade is drawing to a close for the season. Some manufacturers are putting their hands on half-work, others on cotton. We fear there will be a diminished de mand for labour next year, if there should be no alterations in our cern•laws in the meantime, and if the price of pro visions should rise, as it must do from present appearances.— Leicestershire Mercury. HattsvicH, Nov. 24.—The brig Done, of Exeter, to the westward, with coals, was totally wrecked on the 18th inst., on the Kentish Knock; crew saved. _ ------"'""•""'"•-•'—'""•-•-■••••••-• s ti THE HEALTH OF THE LOlw CHANCELLOR. gst Considerable alarm has been created, not only OOP d the u personal friends of Lord Lyndhurst, but in the Ol i o , t the public generally, by the rumours vvhich footT:s days past have been afloat respecting the state .inl 0 d hip's health ; and a paragraph which apPeareuthe Saturday, and which we extracted on Monday fro,,e Be, o kshire Chronicle of that date, has tended not 9 Jil t" t increase the prevalent anxiety with regard to i t i' r , Lord Chancellor.
