ROBERT PEEL remain true to the tactics hitherto in• variably forming the guide of his policy, he must come forth a free-trader in corn, and carry into full effect his principle, that it is expedient to buy i❑ the cheapest and sell in the dearest market. It is true, he cannot outbid the present offer made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL; but if he is anxious, as he has hitherto shown himself, to cul tivate the support of the great manufacturing districts, and remove the ab surd anomaly that still exists respecting the trade in corn, he must come up to the same pitch with his rival, conciliate the feelings of the great mass of the people, and " put an end to a system u hich has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bittee divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people." These are not times to trifle with the community by neglecting the general good for the benefit of a few monopolists. The danger of famine, at least high prices, is beyond the possibility of a doubt, and should the winter prove severe and a scarcity ensue, the sufferings of the people would generally and justly be attributed to a scheme which bad only one real objection in view—to raise the prices of the necessaries of life, and put money into the landlords pockets, but which has inflicted still greater evils by stinting the cultivation of grain in corn-growing countries, and thereby depriving the starving peo ple of Great Britain and Ireland of supplies which otherwise would have been bountifully provided. For these reasons we regard this plain, unassuming letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL as the most important docu ment that has appeared for many years. It will form a watchword for the whole Liberal party ; its statements will be re-echoed throughout the United Kingdom, and no rest will be given to any Minister, of whatever party, till the corn-laws are utterly abolished, and every restriction on the admission of food and clothing used by the people be finally removed. With the appeal of Lord JOIIN RUSSELL to the men of his order we close these (remarks.—" It is no longer worth while to contend for a fixed duty. In 1841 the free-trade party would have agreed to a duty of Bs. a quarter on wheat, and, after a lapse of years, this duty might have been further reduced, and ulti mately abolished. But the imposition of any duty at present, without a provision for its extinction within a short period, would but prolong a contest already sufficiently fruitful of animosity and discontent. The struggle to make bread scarce and dear, when it is clear that part, at least, of the additional price goes to increase rent, is a struggle deeply injurious to an aristo cracy which (this quarrel once removed) is strong in property, strong in the construction of our Legislature strong in opinion, strong in ancient associations, and the memory of immortal services." The corn-law is producing. its effects even more rapidly than we bad anticipated. The people of Eng land are at this moment, paying weekly 400,0001. more for bread-corn than they were paying this time last year, and, as a natural consequence, the trade of the manufacturing districts is suffering. Mr. COBDEN, at the great free-trade meeting at Sheffield, on Monday last, declared that, " within the last six weeks they had suffered in Lancashire a more sudden and severe depres sion than had been sustained since the time of the peace." He adds, "It was not a difficult matter to account for the suddenness of this depression. They had a wheat harvest deficient in quality and in quantity in this coun try, and they had also the failure of the potato crop ; and those evils together caused a rise of at least 50 per cent. in the cost of their provisions. Every one before him, both the wholesale and retail dealer, understood what were the legitimate effects of a bad harvest. Every body, therefore, was acting upon that knowledge, which, to no small extent, was owing to the preachings and teachings of the League. Everybody understood that the high price of food, which was the result of a bad Larvest, caused a bad state of trade, and the wholesale and retail dealers, immediately that they saw the pros pect of a bad harvest, before them, ceased to buy large stocks of manufactured goods, lest by-and-by these stocks should be left unsaleable! on their hands. What becomes now of that fallacy of the monopolists, that when bread is dear wages rise? Bread is dear— have wages risen ? This corn-law we are told was enacted for the especial benefit of the agricultural labourer. Does he now receive a larger sum weekly for wages than he received this time last year ? If the monopolist doctrine were true he ought, and he ought also to be a better customer to the manufacturer, now that bread is dear, than he was when bread was cheap. But he is not a better customer now than he was last year, because, as he has to expend a larger amount of his wages for bread, he has the less to spare for clothing, and he knows to his cost that his wages have not risen as the price of bread has risen. Working men have found out the delusion which the monopolists have been practising on them, and it will go down with them no longer. To quote again the words of Mr. COBDEN—" Working men now understand j that a high price for provisions does not cause high wages, but, on the contrary, that high wages and a low price of food invariably accompany each other." That a period of distress is fast approaching in the ma nufacturing districts, is, we fear, but too evident, and dis tress and famine, says Dr. THOMSON, at the Sheffield meeting, are always the forerunners of pestilence. But that the corn-law will be suffered to do its worst we cannot for one moment believe. Thanks to the la bours of the League, the people are now enlightened, as to the cause of their distress, and, as was well observed by Mr. BRIGHT, whose speech at this meeting was one of the most admirable which that eloquent ad vocate of free trade has ever delivered—" The people constantly and invariably attribute the pre sent depression of trade to the operation of the corn-law. This law, which was passed ostensibly fur the purpose of protecting the native industry of the country, and to give us, who are manufacturers, a con stant supply of good custom from the home trade, to give to capital a fair profit, and to labour fair wages ; this law, which promised so much is now looked upon by almost everybody as the guilty party, in causing the present almost universal depression." Under these circumstances there cannot be a doubt but that the great majority of the people will join the League in making " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," which shall, to use a legal phrase, at once prostrate the nuisance of monopoly. The resolution which Mr. BRIGHT proposed at the Oldham meeting should be made a standing resolution at all anti-starvation meetings throughout the country. If at all these meet- ings it were resolved, "We won't stand it any longer," the affair would be very soon settled. Mean while the League is proceeding steadily and deter minedly to fight the battle of free-trade in the Registration Courts. " Register! register ! register !" is now the motto of the League, which they have bor rowed from Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and the day is not far distant when he will return the compliment, by assuming as his own, their motto—" Free Trade with all the World." We have received Madrid journals of the 18th inst., but they bring no intelligence of the slightest interest. The Funds were rather flat on that day, and only a few transactions took place in the Three per Cents., which closed at 36 1 1 at sixty days. . . , ~. ,-.- ve i -,- „,. ~.,u,•...„._, !

With one exception, and that is a most important one, there is little new in the letter, and hardly any opinions expressed which have not occurred to most persons con • versant with the working of the obnoxious system of corn-laws, and especially the ruinous effects of the sliding scale, bat even in that case his Lordship's opinions, though not differing materially from those entertained by the great body of free-traders, may be regarded as •t' the greatest value, and the most decisive proof that the lite of the corn-laws is sealed.

It is not fair to state to fear. It is in that light that we view the question, because from the new position of the parti es th e most the case in this manner, for it is well k nown th a t F renc h beneficial and decisive results may be anti c ip a t e d.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1845 In a second edition of the Times, we find the follow. ing particulars of the adjudication of the Paris and Stras bourg and Tours and Nantes lines of railway, which took place on Tuesday:— " We have received by extraordinary express the Paris papers of yesterday, with letters from our correspondent, dated half-past three o'clock P.M. ; the latter state that at ,liree o'clock yesterday the Paris and Strasbourg line was ad. judged by the Minister of Commerce to the — united com• panies represented by General Cubieres on a lease of 43 years, 286 days. " The Tours and Nantes line was equally adjudged to the Company represented by Count de la Pinsonniere, Messrs. Maekenzie, O'Neill, and Co., on a lease of 34 years and 15 days. " For the Paris and Strasbourg line there was no compe tition. For the Tours and Nantes line there were two bidders—namely., the Company represented by Messrs. La Pinsonniere, and the Company of Post-masters represented by M. Dailly. The biddings were to lease the line for a number of years below the minimum (35 years) fixed by the Minister. " Mr. Mackenzie proposed taking the line at a reduction of 350 day s. " AI. Dailly proposed taking it at the maximum. " 31. La Pinsonniere was consequently declared the sue cessail bidder. Considerable excitement has 'prevailed here during the day,' says our Bourse letter of Tuesday. At the commence ment of business attempts were made to sustain prices. The Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. were respectively quoted at a higher figure than the closing one of yesterday, but they speedily gave way. A similar remark is applicable to Shares, Northerns, which were up to 82i, subsequently receded.'"

' If the head of the Government has lamentably failed in his duty at the present alarming crisis, the same can not now be said of the leader of the Opposition. Lord J. Russell, having stood out with desperate courage for a fixed duty, long after it had been forsaken by all but a small faction of his party, has now, with a wiser courage, avowed himself a TOTAL AND IMMEDIATE FREE TRADER. We knew this must come at last. It comes now with the greater effect that it has not come sooner. The statesman, who leading an Opposition, has for four years studiously, sometimes almost offensively, repudiated the object to which the desires of a larger majority of his party than any other question of the day has brought together, have been most strongly directed, cannot be suspected, at any rate, of insincerity or interested motives in his now late con cession. Lord John Russell has shown too often, by his acts, his scorn for the Peel policy of feeding the passions of an Opposition in order to ease the way to power, to render it possible to ascribe any other motive for the re markable letter to the electors of London, which we print in another column, than a conscientious conviction of the error of his past opinions, and the greatness of the now impending danger. Letters to constituents seem to be becoming the great vehicles of political action. We had a letter from Lord Ashley, which did its work: we have now a letter from Lord John Russell, which will do greater work. It was startling to hear Lord Ashley say that the corn-laws were doomed. Lord Juhn Russell has now doomed them irretrievably. We only wanted all the minds and great names of the Liberal party united in the cause to ensure victory. Mahcmed has now come to the mountain, which would not go to him. Lord John Russell has now put himself in his proper place, at the head of, and not aloof from, Mr. Cobden and Mr. Villiers ; and the corn-laws will not live another year. Lord John Russell is a nervous writer ; and we could have forgiven even a longer halting to end in such a vigorous condemnation of the bread-tax. " Let us, then," says Lord John Russell, in words which will carry joy and hope from one end of the United Kingdom to the other—" Let us, then, unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of com ce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people." winces now entered warmly upon the course that had been opened to them. There, as in Paris, savings and I credit were both engaged; the bankers realised the i premiums paid by the departments. The latter, how ever, soon found that they had taken too heavy a burthen upon themselves, and the shares came back to the capital, but they found the paternal door closed, the first sellers would not run a new chance, and it was neces sary to seek for other purchasers. Thus the Bourse was daily more and more encumbered with shares." The re marks on the Oregon affair are confined chiefly to the Op position papers. The National, with its usual honesty and impartiality towards England, declares that the Ameri cans have right on their side, and have only to remain firm. The Courrier Francais says all will end in smoke " We think there will be much ado about nothing. When Ameriean and British pride shall have cast oft its fumes, when the journals of the two countries shall become weary of telling each other coarse truths for the edification of the galleries, and when, above all, the dread of a war shall have shaken credit, and put a check upon commercial transactions, a-moment will come when they will both listen willingly to the voice of reason, and conciliation will be easy." The following are the only other extracts from the papers of interest :- " It appears (says the Constitutionnel) that the naval forces intended to act against Madagascar are much greater than was at first supposed. It will almost form a squadron, for at least four, if not five ships of the line or frigates are talked of, besides sloops and store-ships, without reckoning those of the Bourbon station, which are to take part in the expedi tion, with the further addition of two steam ships." " We find the following in the Semaphore of Marseilles of the 21st :-' The Marquis de Lavalette passed through Mar seilles the day before yesterday on his way to Toulon to re ceive Ibrahim Pacha, who is expected to arrive there to morrow or the next day, in the steam-frigate Nile. The Egyptian Prince arrived in it at Genoa on the 15th, and on landing was saluted with guns from all the ships of the Sar dinian squadron, the sailors manning the yards. Ibrahim visited the King, Charles Albert, who received him with great distinction, and invited him to a grand dinner of 4..5 covers next day. On the 18th he was to be present at a grand review of the troops given by his, Majesty in honour of the Prince's arrival." " The German Universal Gazette has the following from Palermo, dated the 6th :-' M. do Montebello arrived here on the 30th ult., to compliment the Em peror and Empress of Russia. The Ambassador was well received, and invited to dine with the Emperor. His Excel lency announced the speedy arrival of two French Princes."'

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales at steady prices, 2,500 being on speculation. Shares were dull again, and prices still drooping. Quite a sensation has been produced to-day by the mani festo of Lord John Russell, addressed to his constituents, the electors of the City of London, on the state of the country, and what measures ought to be adopted in the present state of affairs. Never has a document been presented to the public which has commanded so large a degree of attention, and the contents of which has given so universal a degree of satisfaction. Most plan fully does Lord John come forward at the present juncture, and declare himself in favour of the utmost amount of relief being afforded to the poor (and muck to be feared, in many instances, ere long, unless strin gent remedial plans are to be adopted, life will be sacrificed) in the approaching winter, BY THE OPENING OF THE PORTS AT ONCE, FOR A LIMITED PERIOD. To wait till the Parlia ment assembles before any step is taken, is pure folly, and displays a recklessness on the part of the Ministry as to the condition of the millions, that if persisted in must tend to bring Sir Robert Peel into bad odour with all classes but those who revel in the luxuries afforded by the continuance of bread and other monopolies. We learn from the Baltic ports that a considerable quan tity of wheat has been in the course of exportation for this country—indeed a much larger amount than was expected to be sent at the present advanced season of the year. It may be expected that the navigation in the north of Europe will soon be blocked up by ice.

The supply of English Wheat here being limited, and the attendance of buyers tolerably good, the sale for that descrip tion of grain was firm, and Monday's advanced rates were steadily supported. S e l ec t e d parce l s of free foreign W_ heat produced very full prices, but the middling and inferior kinds, as well as the stocks in bond, commanded very little attention. The best malting Barley was in request, while the value of grinding and distilling sorts ruled about stationary. The supply of Malt being small, the inquiry for it was steady at full prices. For all descriptions of Oats we had a firm inquiry at previ ous quotat i ons . Beans, Peas, and Flour were fully as dear. Do. New Do.
