The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication:— During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—making t•agether 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. MA received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 1 Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lls. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de PEtang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and futire prospects.

GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE. It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body. It is proved by the bills of mortality that one-half of the children horn are cut off before attaining their seventh year. The source of this Tearful mortality is found to exist in that foul state of the stomach and bowels which children are so liable to, and produces the genera tion of Worms. The four mosticommon species are— ASCARIDES VERMICULARIS; commonly called Maw or Thread Worm, is about half-an-inch in length, and the thickness of a thread. Tney infest every part of the alimentary canal, but principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occasioning pain. Their Increase is most rapid; and the number existing in one individual is often incredible, and this in persons of all ages. TRICURIS VULGARIS, or long Thread Worm, is about two inches in length, and tapers down from the head to the tail ; they are not so common as the former. These also infest the whole ali mentary •anal, and are equally tormenting. TERES LUMBRICOIDES, or long round Worms, are generally from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a goose-quill. These exist in the regions of the stomach, causing sickness, bile, fla tulence, with headache. TIENIA ()SCUMS MARGINALIBITS, or Tape Worm. The dis tinguishing character of this species consists in the oscula, or mouths, being situated upon the margin of each Joint, which is flat. They vary in breadth, and also in length from G to 170 yards, and the joints decrease in all cases as they approach the head. Extraordi nary specimens of the tribe have been exhibited at the Museum of the late Dr. Gardner, to the astonishment of thousands who have witnessed them. This celebrated medicine has stood the test of half a century's ex perience, efleetually destroying every kind of Worms, and removing all impurities from the stomach and bowels, by invigorating which Worms are not only expelled, but their generation prevented ; and may be administered with confidence to children, or the most debili tated adult, without restraint in diet or confinement.

A meeting of the members of this association was held at the Dixie Arms on Wednesday the 27th inst., when the chair was taken by Mr. R. Smith, of Sutton Cheney. Mr. Harrison stated that at the request of the committee, he had written to the Rev. John Twells, requesting him again to favour the association with his company; but htht h ihae emav feltete hadhdt the se complimented lengagementspinl ee received a;sautrse a o om fl some a t bwgtie. future again meeting r f emes r o o ret from iuventin:hgt invitation, gentlemanttrtihooeunms, . hte however,acintHh,ueesaht highlyrof. s o)p t stating i thisnat goe The CHAIRMAN then stated that the subject of the afternoon's discussion would bo " the Currency as it affects the interests of the British agriculturist;" and he would first call upon Mr. Harrison to open the proceed itehgems ar o s. f s . llo t c h Ai C aut d ni o a i nsyo.N to C t O h lll e In g e a t: e c e n d , s b s y l e r e e c e h a 1 , I i a n n g d t h t h e e a t e t e ci n u t i i v o o n c o a f l manner in which her Majesty was made by h er Mi n i s t ers to express her sympathy with the distress of the agricul tural interest. To that speech he should not now have re curred but for the speech of Lord J. Russell recently de livered at the Mansion-house, in which his Lordship con gratulated his audience on the general prosperity of the country. It was clear, therefore, the agriculturists had little to hope for from that quarter. He believed, too, that they had little reason to hope for sympathy from other quarters. In the Evening Mail of the other day he had met with an article in which the editor advised any " unsuccessful farmer" who grumbled at the present state of affairs to emigrate to the Antipodes, as many a clergyman and lawyer had to do: therefore why should the farmer repine at having to follow their example?— (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. H.) had therefore come to the conclusion, that the only course the farmer now could pursue was to lay his case before that public which always acted justly when they understood the real merits of a case; for from those in authority, and their organs, they met with nothing but pretended sympathy. Among the topics which be looked upon as of importance to the farmer was that of the currency; but because this Asso ciation again took it up, it must not be supposed that they were therefore overlooking or forgetting the other great questions to which they had on. former occasions drawn attention—such as the Reduction of Rent—(Hear) —the Abolition of the Law of Distraint—(Hear)—and a revision of the condition between landlord and tenant.— (Hear, hear.) Indeed he was happy to know that the attention which this association bad drawn to those great questions was beginning to work for good in other places. —(Hear.) Were he at liberty he could mention the case of a large landowner residing not ten miles from that place, who, after reading the report of the proceedings of that association on this question, went to his legal agent, and said he had not before thought of the in jurious and unfair operation of this law, and that he, for one, was willing to give up his right to the operation of that law.—(Hear, hear.) The question had also been thus brought before the notice of one of the principal law officers of the Crown, who had expressed himself strongly on the necessity of a change in this law. This showed them the necessity, therefore, of keeping their grievances before the public.—(Hear, hear.) He now came to the question of the evening; but, in so doing, he must take them back nearly half a century. Mr. Harrison then proceeded—But I must vow draw your attention to that portion of grievances (the monetary system) which more particularly forms the subject of our consideration at the present mo ment, and I must now lead you back in English history for more than half a century, when we were beset with enemies on every side—seeming to be at war with all the world.—(Hear). In these wars, not only human life and happiness, but wealth and treasure also, to an unlimited extent, were expended and destroyed. To find money for such expenditure, the Minister of the day borrowed largely upon the credit of the country (thus entailing a heavy debt upon posterity) ; but to find the means for people lending, and for paying the increased taxation rendered necessary by the payment of interest upon the debt contracted, he was obliged also to amplify the circulating medium of the kingdom. In 1797 (I believe) an Act was notes of the Bank of E ng l an d lega l ten d er —enabling them legally to perform the o ffi ce of representative of of l a bour, of industry,passed which made the capital, of wealth ; and which, in fact, gave to this country a paper currency.—(Hear). Now, air, this measure to myself is merely a matter of history ; but there are many persons living (and per haps some may be present) who can well remember the passing of the Bank Restriction Act ; and such can speak to the general prosperity which ensued. The object of the Minister, in resorting to a paper currency, was to enable each class, by the intervention of a cheap and expansible representative of value, as a medium of barter, to charge upon the cost price of his individual labour or production, the quota or share which might be charged upon himself, to the increasing burdens of national taxation. And now let us inquire how this cheap means of barter affected the posi tion of the agriculturist? I find that in the last twenty years of the last century, compared with twenty years from that date (or 1800 and 1820 inclusive), the average price of wheat stands in the comparison as 50s. 10d. does to 84s. 5d.; or increased in money-valve something more than three-fifths.—(gear.) If we examine his tory as to the state of agriculture w© shall find t hat at this period it was parti cu l ar l y fl o urishing. If we exa mine the Inclosure Bill s o f t hi s c ountry we shall find that a large number took d a t e a t this period. And when we meet with old farmers they invariably speak of day d s t a h s e o"ptphoe r t g u o u o i t d y o o l f d o t o i kmieusg. ' When I was a i n to some farming t b h o e y s e I accounts of this date; and could I at that time have foreseen that I should e v er h ave b e en called on to address a meeting upon this subj ec t, an d to touch upon the state of agricultural production at thi s date, I might have derived from them some useful information. However, I remember the profits of a few items about this period; although I do not remember precisely the price or the dates. Thus, against a lot of twenty-one black-faced Dudley ewes stood a note—" 1 died; but under fourteen months; pro fit clear to pocket, 105/."—(Hear, hear.) But the rise in value of produce was shortly extended to the value of real property; and th e landlords now claimed a pro portional increase in rent.—(llear , hear.) Still, the elasticity and cheapness of the abundant paper currency enabled the tenant-farmer to meet high taxation, in creasing and old to lay up a little beside to meet contingenciesthe influence of this age.—(Hear.) In shbrt, und er payments, and increased rents—(Hear)—and ofits inhabitants were stimulated, and by a paper a money the country was enabled l position, and class enjoyed cheap circulating medium the energy lou eachor f the_ country called out, the exertion and the was maintained in its proper to live upon the It has even been i p t r s o s ti h t ar o ci f o i f ts pr i o n s d p u er s i t t r y y......., charged dpaper currency that it raised un naturallyshe price of all property and taxation which - raised prices productions. But it was l a means to currency was _on y unnaturally; the ag u ai u n d st o t r b ti e ficial y to an end.—(Hear, hear.) It enabled the tax payers to meet all their engagements without feel ing the assistance of a cheap and ample currency, are now into the e arth.—(Hear.) But, sir, I w ill that burden of taxation b y which we, deb arre d f rom pressed down• • it matters little to m against a paper currency bank-notes raised ties . sufficient . to say they did rise, then existing currency, a higher not occupy your time in disputing thecharg a e rt b ifi ro c u la g l h l t ment, whether taxation or. nominal value than they had possessed before.—(Hear, peace came, and it was shortly mooted in hear.) But Parliament that the country must return to its ancient y standard of circulation. The Bank began to make the ed priceob ta o i obtained, e commodities: m i a m o t d h i e preparation for th is b y withdrawing its notes from cir culation, which caused pressure and distr ess c hi e fl y among the commercial interests of the kingdom, and the failure of our banks. In 1819 Peel brought into Par liament, and carried, a Bill for the resumption of cash and I well recollect the time that this Bill payments; first came into operation. I think the farmers had their first pinch from its action in 1821.—(Hear.) I remember spea ki n g of his son s measure, said " Robert lie then, well the opinion e x p ressed by, the then Sir Robert P e el ; is wrong, and will ruin his country." I can recollect, too, that one common topic of conversation among the country politicians of that day, was the injustice done to the debtor by increasing in real amount his various , ob li g ations—another was the grea t boon conferred upon the p ublic creditor ; and anot her, was what was then co nsidered the Radical proposition— the necessity of an eq uitable adjustment.—(Hear, hear and "It must come to that.") Now, :since I have contdclered more maturely the currency question, and have called to mind the recollections of twenty-five and thirty years ago I 'Call see that there wore men in ex * Waco who pada clear perception of the onls of Out measure ere it was carried; who warned the agricul turists of their threatened difficulties; but who, by the farmer, were refused a hearing because they were " Bir mingham Radicals"—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—and were ever arguing upon the currency question, which no one understood.—(Hear, hear.) Well, sir, corn fell in price to 745. 6d. in 1819; to 675. 10d. in 1820; to 56c. Id. in 1821; to ,445. 7d. per quarter in 1822. — (Hear, hear.) Beef and mutton fell in 1821. 9 ° from 7d. to 3d. per lb , and greet agricultural di,tress ensued. But the Government of that day, unlike the Government of this day, felt for the suffering of the country; it pitied! the agriculturist, and gave him temporary relief. By Lord Londonderry's Small Note Act, I think about four millions of paper were added to the circulation of the country, and it had a very great and stimulating eiftct. Prices revived, and the farmer's drooping spirits were restored.—(Hear.) In 1825, the bill of 'l9 came fully into operation, and great was the suffering in the commercial world, and great was the agricultural dis tress. All of my age—and some many years younger— cannot possibly forget the misery and distress of the winter of '25 and '26.—(Hear.) Banks stopped pay ment, and agriculturists, by hundreds, were plunged into difficulties from which they never rose.—(Hear, hear.) I will not pursue this examination further than to say, that the price of corn, which had for the first thirty years of this century averaged 85s. per quarter, fell, notwithstanding the existence of a corn law, during the next twenty - years, to 51s. 6d. per quarter.—(Hear, hear.) Now I have often wondered how the landed in terest, which of all others was most likely to be affected by the return to cash payments—because this class was always burdened with the greatest weight of national taxation—l say, I have often wondered how this class could be cajoled into the approval of the Money Bill of 'l9? I cannot find time to inquire into the sophistries which might be advanced by the Ministry of that time to gain the landlords' concurrence in that measure which has saddled themselves and the country with almost a doubling of the debt. Some say that the land owners were told that a difference of 3 per cent. was the maximum of the change that could ensue. Others say that the currency is an abstract science, entirely above the comprehension of ordinary minds, and that it could not be expected that country gentlemen should under stand it. But, in the want of other or better evidence, I am content to take that of Sir James Graham, who im plied in his speech in the House of Commons on the 21st of February Government of a n t d his o y e e ar , a c Aristocracy, om pae o t of this bargain kind, acquiesce in the return to cash payments, and yen shall retain the corn-laws."—(Hear, hear.) He thus spoke:— " I have always contended, and the Hon. Member for Warwickshire will agree with me, that the most im• provident bargain that could have been made by any great class was that which the landlords made in 1819, when, in consideration of an exclusive corn-law, which gave them the sole possession of the home market up to 80e, per quarter, they consented to the restoration of a depreciated standard of value—a standard which had been depreciated for a quarter of a century. That that was an improvident bargain I thought then, and I think so now.—(Cheers.) They are about to pursue their class interests by asking for the re-imposition of the corn laws, in the vain hope of advancing the value of their property at the expense of, and in opposition to, the en tire community. Let them be on their guard."—(Hear, hear.) Now, sir, Ido not mean to express a belief that such bargain or contract was entered into in specific terms, but I can readily believe that such compact be tween the Government and landowners was implied and understood, and that at the time there was no real inten tion on either side of breaking or evading the bargain. But the return to cash payments had no sooner been carried by Parliament than it began its work of destruc tion. The means of the manufacturer were crippled by it; he felt the pressure of the times, and this made him regard the protected loaf of the agriculturist with a jealous eye.—(Hear, hear.) I think it was in 1826 that the first systematic attack was pon the existence of the corn-law. There was in ear, if I recollect rightly, an opening of the ports rder in Council, and foreign bonded corn was ad to a very consi derable extent. And lam free t confess, from my re colic ction of that time, that th entrance of a large quantity of foreign corn, though rejudicial to the in- It terest of the tenant-farmer, was n ssary to the comfort, if not the welfare, of the humble classes of society.— (Hear.) The more I look into this subject, the more I am compelled to express my: humble opinion that the agri culturists, as a body, have neither acted considerately to the manufacturers' interest, Nor wisely towards them selves.—(Hear.) On the first at k made upon the corn-law, it would have been far r to have said, "If we give up the corn-law, you mu . • to a revenue duty, equal per quarter to our direc •ct taxa tion; and you shall join us in our de a . ads e Go vernment of the country for a rester> of such standard of value as that in which our deb as Aefita, and in which alone its interest should be pa ."—(Heir.) We have now lost the protective corn-law, end we are now experiencing in full force and intensity the cpera tion cf Peel's Bill of 1819, which we, as agriculturists, were, by the influence of that corn-law, prevented from feeling in full severity before.—(Hear.) Recollect that all commodities increased in nominal value —corn, stock, rent, add tithes, became higher in amount during the existence of the paper currency. But mark this: a re turn to cash payments is made, and down come corn, stock, manufactures, and commodities—in nominal value —but rent, tithes, interest, and all fixed payments, re main nominally the same.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Harrison then proceeded to elucidate this point by some familiar illustrations; after which, he dwelt upon the necessity of a revision of the relations between landlord and tenant as to rent,—even though the property of the former may be encumbered. He then reverted to some facts and figures connected with the currency, concluding by moving the following resolution:— " That the circulating medium of this country is not , at this time sufficiently ample and expansive to meet the commercial wants of a highly-taxed and increasing population." The CHAIRMAN called upon Mr. Chapman to second the resolution. Mr. CEIPMAIT did so briefly, expressing his entire concurrence in the arguments of the preceding speaker. He then observed—The resolution which has just been moved says, " that the circulating medium in this country is not sufficiently ample and expansive." Now is not this a self-evident fact to every one of us ? Is there any farmer in this room who has only his farm to look to for support, who cannot verify the truth of this assertion ?—(Hear.) Is not the complaint of the day this, that there is so little money circulating ? And is not this the very heart of the matter, the practical view of the currency question, if we can prove that the pre sent currency-laws confine and reduce the circulating medium ?—(Hear.) To prove that these laws have this effect is for others to do ; but when we see the hot Protectionist and the Free-trader, the Conservative and the Whig, and, in short, men of all grades of opinion, unanimous in advocating the paper currency, it ic, indeed, a harbinger of our success.—(Hear.) My father, who, some of you well know, has had half a century's experi ence, informs me that when the 1/. notes were called in, it made great havoc with the needy farmers, and alse farmers of property who had no ready money; for the' wre hea machines were set to wor k, th e bankers would no longer accommod a t e th e f armers; con dmsfreooaqiknuee, andntthtliys the panic ethrashingwas glutted with corn, prices wer e k noc k e d thinkslong timem amany ereof the they farmers recovered; o e v e r arned covered. The banks not giving them credit, their want of ready money compelled them to go to market with their corn immediately after harvest, and prices were thus kept from rising; for this diminution of the paper in circulation caused the farmer to get the work done as quickly as possible, and then discharge his labourers, be cause he bad not ready money to pay them; this caused distress among the labourers, and in many cases robbery and incendiary fires were the consequence.—(Hear, hear.) The laws which regulate money must surely have some effect, and that a great effect, on the farmer, for he takes the corn and cattle he has to spare to market, and buys money with them; and if there is a contracted currency, surely it must have a sadly depre ciating value on the farmer's produce ; for if money is short, his produce will purchase much less of it.— (Hear.) In this point of view the currency question be comes a practical and a farmer's question, and one which is easy of comprehension. What does, it signify to the farmer whether the money is silver, gold, or paper, so long as he can get plenty of it—so long as a bit of paper is a good and legal tender for the payments he has to make?—(Hear.) Our legislators have not only made scarcem lB o 4 n 4 e , y bu t have by alsoth the passed whichcts ofe foreigner to send his corn here free of duty. We farme rs are therefore doubly injured —by a crippled cur rency and by a free trade in corn; for the enha nced value of money is an aggravation of the depress i o n oa 18 hl l e (t and caused by free trade.—(Here Mr. Chapman gave, as an illustration of the safe working of a paper currency under proper regulations, a his tory of the mode in which a new meat market was built in Guernsey. The market cost 4,000/. — notes to that amount were issued under the term "Meat Market Money," circulating only in that island: with these notes the contractor paid his men, and they were readily taken from the men by the tradesmen; the income derived the first year from the market was 4001.; t with a t m h i e s i r o e v f e o n l l u o e w , i n n o g t e y s e t a o r s t h ; a a t n a d m t o h u a n s t iwoe tenre r y e e d a e r e s m t e h d e ; whole debt was paid oft). Here we see the value of p a a l p e e r r i the fo r ,w t h h e e re se a r s v g a o u l t d o i f s t i r n a t d h e i s andeo country made commerce, when we have no gold , no paper; no paper , no money; no money, no trade. One word of digression , and rn m s o te n a e d y of I have done; and that is, whether you pass your verdict for a paper currency, or a gold standard, this I am sure you will agree with, that none of the Popish coins shall ever circulate in this country—no figure of the Pope shall ever deface our coins, or enter our pockets; or any of the Pontiff's tokens, be they Cardinals or Bishops; but upon our coins shall be imprinted " Victoria, Dei Gratia;" and we will be the free, the unfettered, the obe dient and loving subjects of the British Sovereign.— (Applause and laughter.) The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN now called on Mr. J. N. GIMSoN to move the second resolution, in doing which that gen tleman thus explained his views on the meaning of the word Currency :—The term " circulating medium," is ouo expressive of the medium or measuro of value by In one it is gold; in another silver; in a third paper. These come under the denomination of a money cir culating medium," but there are other repreFentatives of va!uo besides these. Oxen have been by some nations, in earlier periods, made the standard of value; at one pe riod, among it the Greeks and Romans, iron we used; and in one Emperor's reign, in order to prevent the love of money and its consequences growing upon the people, this money representative was made so cumbrous that the people would not trouble themselves wits it: it is said to have taken the strength of more than two oxen to move 200 pence worth ; and though the Roman people at that time, and for a succession of ages, wore the most powerful nation upon earth, I do not recollect hearing or reading that they ever had a gold standard of value. The people of Virginia for a long time estimat?d the value of articles by pounds of tobacco ; and Captain Franklin tells us the .Drees Indians used beaver skins as their medium of exchange, and estimate the value of all other things by a certain number of them ; while in some parts of Africa a species of shells, called cowries, are used. I shall mention but one other substance which has been used as a standard of value and a me dium of exchange by which the value of all other things have been estimated—intrinsically more valuable than all others put together, and that (I blush to name it) is man himself in th e person of the slave.—(Hear.) There are but three of the articles I have mentioned that are adapted to civilised and commercial nations as a circulating medium, viz., gold and silver, and paper. The question we have to consider i s , w hi c h of three is best adapted to our use as a highly civilised and commercial people—which of the three is best calculated to represent the industry and supply the wants of the people? Which of the three is the true medium of exchange, giving us value for value? In order to arrive at a conclusion, it will be necessary to inquire into the practical working of these different measures of value. Mark the word " measures" of value; and though the twe former are intrinsically valuable in themselves, yet in this sense they are only spoken of as a measure, or standard by which the value of all natural and artificial productions are estimated.—(Hear.) Now, all productions are the result of labour, and that labour man is the originator and worker-out of. It therefore follows, as a necessary consequence, that a working population is the capital and wealth of a kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) We will now examine this question in reference to land and its pro ductions; for it is as farmers we are called together this day to discuss it. There are four classes having an im mediate and direct interest in the land, viz., the land owner, the occupier, the clergy, and the poor ; an d u p on one of these classes the maintenance of the other three mainly depends—l mean upon the cultivators of the soil —the tenantry.—(Hear.) It is more especially to their interests I shall confine my observations. From 1688 to 1697 the average price of wheat was 21. 10s. Bd. per qr. What occasioned this, at that time, enormous price, when our population but little exceeded five-and-a-half millions? It was a depreciated currency, occasioned by clipping the coin; and though that mode of depreciation was neither honourable nor justifiable, though one which every thinking man would be sorry to see prac tised in the present day, still it serves to show that a depreciated standard has a tendency to raise prices. Silver was our standard coin then. There were three things connected with the establishment of the Bank in 1694—the restoration of the standard (then a gold and silver one) to the ;Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. and ss. 2d. per oz.; the first creation of a paper currency and the existence of a national debt. From that period the price of corn fell to an average of 335. 3d. till 1764 (the first fruits of a restored standard), and from that period to 1 7 84, it averaged 445. 7d. The reason for the increased averages for the hilts!' period was a depreciation of standard, and an increased paper issue. In 1792 (I quote Sir J. Graham's " Corn and Currency") the amount of Bank of • England notes in , circulation was 11,149,8091., and th e average p r i ce of wheat 435.; in 1795, the issue had increased to 13,539,1634, and the average price of wheat to 715.; and in the year follow ing, though the issue had decreased to below eleven mil lions, yet the average rose to 765., the effect of the in creased issue of the previous year.—(Heard You will here observe that the highest price of corn•was 4the close of each of these centuries. And it strikes me as a very remarkable fact, that they were both under revo lutionary wars—(Hear)—the former the English revolu tion from 1688 to 1,697; the latter, the French revolution, from about the same period. I have frequently heard it said that " it was the war that created high prices and national,prosperity." But will any sane 'man believe that " war—cruel, devastating, devouring war—that scourge of humanity," could be the creator of wealth, the cause of national prosperity.—(Haar.) No, no! Never believe what God appointed for a nation's scourge can ever be a nation's blessing!—(Hear, hear.) Ina 1797, the Government began to feel that expensive war and a metallic standard were incompatible, and could not exist together. The gold was nearly all drained out of the country, and the Bank of England no longer able to redeem its paper in specie; !Ind to save its credit the Government was obliged to interfere, and Mr. Pitt, the then Prime Minister, introduced a measure known by the name of the Bank Restriction Act, by which the Bank was relieved from the liability of paying its notes in gold.—(Hear.) Government took upon itself the responsibility. Bank of England paper was made in convertible, and the issues _were received ba c k i n t axes and cancelled, It was this alteration of the currency that saved the Bank, and not only the Bank but the cation from inevitable ruin. —(Hear,) Now what was the effect of this alteration of the circulating medium? It was this. It gave a stimulus to industry; it developed the nation's strength; it brought out the nation's wealth. Agricul ture, manufactures, and commerce flourished. Land lords received highly-increased rents; the working classes were well paid, and employers realized good profits; and though war continued, and Government de mands were enormous, yet the people of England were enabled to lead their rulers 600,000,000/. of money. And where did this money come from?—(Hear, hear) — out of the bones and sinews and brains of an industrious, intelligent, aed persevering people.—(Hear, hear.) I have said it gave a stimulus to industry. Agriculture advanced with rapid strides; immense sums were ex pended in the improvement of the land; from 1801 to 1820, no less than 1,677 inclosure Bills were passed, while from 1820 to 1844 there were 358 only, though agriculture had continued to progress in science, and our population increased in England alone from 11,2614,37 in 1821, to 14,995,138 in 1841.—(Hear, hear.) Now what was the cause of this great falling off ? Was it that industry had exhausted itself ? that the people had become indolent? No; it was the effect produced by Peel's Bill of 1819. By this Act the Bank Re striction Act was annihilated, under which a debt of 600,000,0004 had been contracted under a depreci ated currency of at least 30 per cent. below the standard fixed by this Bill.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") By this Act the Goeernment bound itself to pay 30 per cent. more in hard cash than it actually borrowed. Now, was ever a grosser injustice perpetrated upon the productive industry of a kingdom?—(Hear, hear.) And by none of the industrial classes is this injustice felt more than by the tenant-farmer.—(Hear, hear.) This enormous debt was contracted - when the average price of wheat was above 80s. per quarter ; it is true it was under a paper currency; but by a resolution in Parlia ment in 1811 the 11. note was affirmed to be of 20s. value, and as far as we were concerned it was so, for it passed current and was received in taxes for 20s. (See " Corn and Currency," p. 76.) Then eight bushels of wheat represented an ounce of gold ; now it requires sixteen—consequently requires sixteen to pay what eight borrowed—both principal and interestl—(llear.) Can it bo said that one is equivalent to the other? And not only the debt, the interest of which cost us 27,702,8801. 10s. 6d. last year, but all other fixed payments are cal culated upon the same basis, and are required to be paid upon the same standard. In 1815 the Corn Bill was passed, in anticipation of retnrning to cash payments— that is, in order to reconcile the landed interest to the change, and protect them from the ruin in which a gold standard and restricted currency would inevitably involve all the other productive classes.—(Hear.) Now this Corn Bill was to give the landed interest the mo nopoly of the English market up to 80s. a quarter; and they blindly imagined this Act of Parliament price was to be realised, their rents to be maintained, and their in terests to suffer no diminution by the change.—(Hear.) But how soon were their eyes opened! The diminution of the circulating medium began to work its effects im mediately; prices fell rapidly; thousands of tenants were ruined; and misery and destitution stalked through the land. This, too, in 1815, 1816, and this only in anti cipation of a return to cash payments; and had it not been for a renewal of the Bank Restriction Act, national bankruptcy must have occurred.—(Hear.) The total number of bankruptcies in 1815 were 1,285, and in 1816, 2,029. (See "Corn and Currency," page 36.) But how long did this prosperity continue? In 1819, as I have said before, Peel's Bill was passed, by which the ancient standard of value was restored, viz., gold to 3/. 17s, 10id. per oz., and gold only made the standard of value—the highest standard a nation can possibly have, and one which added 30 per cent. to our liabilities, and deprived us of 50 per cent. of our means of payment . (Hear.) Witness its effect in 1822, when it only came intotn w partialas42,o operation.64,s22l.,and In thelB agl9avthereme price of oneyincircula inwheat 745. 6d. per quarter, or 1I s. 9d. less than it was in 1818, and 225. sd. less than in 1817; but in 1822 the circula tion was reduced to 25,839,9771., or nearly 50 per cent., and the price of wheat to 445. 7d. per quarter —more than cent. per cent. below its value in 1817.—(11ear.) Yet we had 3,607,717/. more to pay in taxes in that year— for the revenue, the produce of taxation, paid into the Exchequer in 1817 was 52,055 ,9131., and in 1832 55,663,650/. Now, supposing thi s revenue to have been paid in wheat, at the av e e lat r ns a s g v e eorf p yp ri ac ce of each year—(and "corn," according to Mr. Homer, "is the perm anen t standard of value")—it wou ld h ave required, in 1817, 10,472,406, and in 1822, 24,970 ,609 quarters of wheat, centre.—(Hear.) reen— to pay it. Now what eff ec t h a d this increased taxa tion,t ry? t t h convulseddinain i diminished e it d t means mere without money, t ra d esmen without prof i t, an d labourers without employ ment; i n d ustr y p a raly z ed, and destitution and despair sa t lik e a f i en d u pon the brow of all the prod uc i ng e l asses i n the kingdom .—(H ea r.) But the Gover nment , see i ng the direful e ff e cts this sudden . . tu ( p H o e n ar the o u c ;anr became alarmed; - centriotion of the currency occasioned, an increase of paper was isfram; and the plague was stayed—but only to bredi out again with increased violence, and, this occasioned by want of precaution on the part -of - Government—fur, iu permitting this in- B)-eased issue of paper, they neglected to re-en ac t th e nk Restriction Act. The Bank, therefore, remained liable to pay its notes in geld; so that, in the event of the foreign exchanges being against us, the Bank would be obliged in self-defence to contract its issues of paper, not having gold wherewith to cash it on demand. In 1825 the demand of gold for exportation was con siderable; foreign exchanges were against us, and 4,417,0921. had been exported before ~the ehd of January. The directors became alarmed, and by sale of Exchequer-bills to the amount of 670,0001., withdrew 31 per cent. of their whole issues...from circulation. Now, this sum does not seen to be a great deal to be withdrawn; but mark its effect. It showed a falling credit; money became scarce; the country bankers, for want of accommodation, became alarmed; a panic occurred ; and a rush was made to the banks, and ruin, irretrievable ruin, was the con sequence. Nor were the effects of this panic less rui nous to the agriculture, trade, and commerce of the country than it was to the banks. (Having quoted what Sir James' Graham save upon this convulsion in his " Corn and Currency,'' pages 6u and 61, Mr. Gimsc,n continued.) Such were the consequences of a contracted currency and gold standard in 1825 G. Under this standard we still remain rivetted and secured by Peel's Bill of 1844—labouring under greater difficulties, and suffering under greater injustice, than we then expe rienced; fur at that time we had the protection of a corn law—at least in appearance, though not in reality— (l-Isar'—fur it did nut perform that which it promised to do, viz., maintain wheat at 80s. per quarter. But it did one thing for us; it caused all our fixed payments to be calculated and paid upon that price.—(Hear.) The corn-law is repealed—with what degree of justice I leave others to determine—(Hear, hear)—our payments re main undiminished; and it takes more of a farmer's ca pital (corn) to pay his taxes now, than it did in the highest year of taxation during the war, or at any time either before or since. —(Hear, hear.) The highest amount of taxes paid into the revenue was 72,210,512 in 1815, and it took 22,029,994 quarters of wheat to pay it at 655. 7d. per quarter; in 1849 the revenue was 52,951,7491., and it took 23,932,993 quarters of corn to pay it, at 445. 3d. per quarter.—(Hear, hear.) See how fully Sir J. Graham's predictions are verified.—(Hear, hear.) Now, brother farmers, this state of things can not continue.—(Hear, hear.) We cannot feed the people and pay the taxes entirely at our own cost and charges. If we are to continue occupiers of the soil, and main tain that station in society, as a class, we have hitherto occupied, we must either reduce our expenditure below our income, or we must raise our income above our ex penditure.—(Hear, hear.) One of these things must be done, or we must be annihilated as a class. But we will not submit without a struggle—(Hear) —we will , not expire without making an effort to pull down that false standard under which we have so long struggled.— (Hear, hear.) Let this be a year of jubilee, in which the fettered industry of the country shall be set free, and man be allowed to reap the just reward of his labour.— (Applause.) When (I speak with reverence) the Al mighty pronounced the curse upon man in sin, it was in these words—" In the sweat of thy brow shall thou eat bread;" but what says man, practically, to his fel low-man? " Thou shalt labour in the sweat of thy brow, but thou shalt not be a partaker of the fruits of thy la bour; and though you are worthy of your hire, still it shall be withheld."—(Hear.) I leave it with you, my friends, to make the application. We have free trade in corn—we must have free trade in money.—(Hear.) The resolution I hold in my hand states, and I fully concur in the statement " That a Government issue of paper, representing in value 20s. and upwards, guaranteed by the national taxes ; and also an issue of paper by local banks, repre senting in value 20s. and upwards, guaranteed by secu rities deposited with the Government, would greatly tend to lighten the pressure of taxation, and increase legiti mately the prosperity of the productive industry of -the country." A men - sure of this kind would do much towards mitigat ing our suffering. It would make money, or the circu lating medium of a country, what it ought to be—a mea sure of value; the servant, not the master of commerce. It would represent real capital—Labour, and become the medium of exchange for the product of that labour of whatever kind, giving value for value received, enabling every industrious man to support himself and family is ease and comfort by the labour of his hands, and giving him opportunity of improving his social, moral, and physical condition—thereby fitting him to fulfil all the duties of life in that station in which it has pleased God to place Lim.—(Applause.) Mr. GOODE, of Heather, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. CHAMBERLAIN moved the third resolution, ad journing this meeting to the 22d of January, 1851. During the interval he hoped his brother•farmera would make themselves mere intimately acquainted with this and every other subject connected with their welfare. Mr. MAYNE seconded the resolution ; before putting which, The CHAIRMAN observed, that he hoped the members of the association would again have their attention turned to the important topics which had occupied them in the last session, and the discussion of which had ex cited so much interest throughout the country.—(Hear.) The resolution was theft carried unanimously; and after a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for the steady interest he manifested in the welfare and useful ness of the association, the meeting separated.

He was formerly Lieutenant of Rua} Marines, and served at the reduction of the Danish West Indian islands and capture of Hault poult, and acted as adjutant to the Marine battalion at the reduction of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Subsequently he was secretary to various flag-officers, particularly to Sir W. Cochrane in the operations in the Chesapeake, New Orleans, &c. Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain M'Dougal, is naW alongside her hulk, the Blake, at Portsmouth, getting ready for sea immediately. She is reported to be. ready by the 7th inst. Phrcton, 50, Captain George Elliot, received her new foremast on Saturday, and on Monday was taken into the angla dock for repair and caulking. Her port quarter gallery has been struck and much shaken by a sea, and requires replacing. She will come out of dock again next Saturday, and out of the basin on Monday, and will soon after be ready for sea. She is refitting her rigging in dock. A number of naval men and others have visited this fine frigate, which does so much credit to Mr. White, of Cowes, her constructor, and Mr. Wilcox, the master shipwright' of Deptford dockyard, under whose superintendence she was laid down and built. No vessel has yet come near her in sailing, especially in a wind. Sprightly, steam-tender, Master Commander Allen, sailed from Portsmouth for Plymouth yesterday, taking about 50 supernumeraries for the Albion, 90 ; these men were chiefly entered at Liverpool, and were sent to Portsmouth through London. It would have been a saving of time and expense had they been sent via Bristol and Great Western Railway, direct from Liverpool to Plymouth. The Sprightly has also taken to Plymouth a carriage and some lug gage for Captain Rich, the superintendent of the hospital. Waterwitch, 8, Commander Quin, left St. Helens, Oct. 23, for Ascension and Sierra Leone, to collect the mails for England. The Fisgard, flag-ship at Woolwich, was paid off yesterday and re-commissioned by Commodore Henry Eden, superintendent of the dockyard. The Black Eagle and the Lightning steam-vessels were paid off at the same time, and on the Lightning being re commissioned by Master-Commander Petley, he wa's ordered, with his officers and crew, to be borue otr the books of the Fisgard. The Black Eagle was pre viously borne on the books of the Fisgard, and still continues attached to that vessel. Lieutenant Penrose, C. Penrose, Royal Marines, with twenty-five non-commissioned officers and men, joined the Woolwich division on the Fisgard being' paid off; and Lieutenant Richard King Clevell, with a similar number of non-commissioned officers of the Royal Marines, joined on board the Fisgard, when she was re-commissioned. A very great alteration has also been made in other respects with regard to the re-commissioning of the Fisgard, as the whole of the officers and crews of the vessels employed on the surveying service on the coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the packet-service, under Captain William L. Sheringham, are to be borne on the books of the Fisgard, instead of the Ocean, at Sheerness, the Victory, at Portsmouth, the Impregnable, at Do• vonport, and the Ajax steam quardship, at Cork. The Agnes, hired barque, landed a cargo of Galli poli oil yesterday at this dockyard from Italy. Post-Captain Wolff, Lieutenant E. Krieger, Lieu tenant Beck, and Lieutenant W. Carstensen, officers of the Danish navy, the former commander, and the others serving on board the Geiser, war-steamer, at present in the East India Docks at Blackwell, from Copenhagen, visited Woolwich Dockyard to-day, and were conducted all over the departments by Flag- Lieutenant Gore. They also went on board the Royal Albert, 120 guns, and remained some time in specting that vessel. The Agamemnon, 80 guns, building, and to be fitted with a screw-propeller with engines of 400- horse power, has had two divisions of shipwrights put Lupon her during the present week, to forward her works ; and, as the timbers are converted into the requisite shape at the saw-mills, the forty-five shipwrights employed upon her will snake considerable progress. Lieutenant Robert Robertson, additional of the Fisgard, in charge of the steam department afloat et this dockyard, was paid off yesterday, and re-appointed to the same duty_ !
