REPORT by the COUNTY COMMITTEE, as presented to the Gen6ral Meeting of Subscribers, held within the Castle of Inver nesis, upon the 14th November, 1845. The increasing prevalence of lunacy through the county of:lnver riess, and the obligation tmon the !veal authorities, to confine at the expense of the parish of domicile, all persons thus dangerously afflicted, compelled this project as a matter of ordinary prudence, and apart from all consideration of general philanthropy. Accordingly, at the Annual County Meeting of the 30th April, 1843, the project was submitted to the public. It was resolved to endeavour to afford the benefit of the Institution to all the northern Counties, standing, as they did, under circumstances of equal necontty ; and a Committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions on this enlarged and general footing. They commenced their duties; b u t c i rcums ta n c e s f or some time were adverse ; and they had the deep misfortune to lose, almost at' the outset of their labours, one of their most influential, zealous, mid valued members, by the sud-ten death of Mr. Fraser, of Newton. Keenly alive to the true benevolence of the undertaking, he was lending it the liberal assistance of his example and of his energies up to the period of his death ; and that melancholy event naturally affected, for a time, the exertions of those associated With him in the Committee. Thus the project remained in temporary eaeyance. But It seemed soon evident that unless active aucasures were again re sorted to, there could be no reasonable anticipation of a successful issue. A public meeting of the heritors, magistrates, and clergy, was called accordingly, upon the 10th day of December, 1844,' and the necessity of an immediate canvass was admitted, and pressed upon the Acting Committee. They undertook the . task. The funds at that date amounted to 1,5001„, and to-day they stand on the list as 4,7001. This Buhl is almoSeentirely the result of private contribution ; for only one parish, that of Dornoch, in Sutherland, has entered a sub scription, and only • one-public body, the Caledonian Bank of Inver ness, has given a contribution ; —the parish of.Dornoch has taken one share of 21/. ; the Caledonian Bank has given a subscription of one hindred guineas. Apart, indeed, from these two sums, the contri- fnitions have been entirely from the hand of private I;enevOlence. The town and neighbourhood of Inverness have given most liberally, and many of the districts of the county with an equal hand. Under very trilling exceptions, the Committee have, as yet, been prevented from prosecuting their solicitations throughout the northern counties. -- . . Several, however, of the most Influential proprietors of the north are amongst the contributors ; and this circumstance warrants the hope that the canvass which is to be immediately corgikenced may be suc cessful. The Committee, through two of their number, have applied for subscriptions in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, and London, confining, uulesa in one or two instances, their application to those connected by birth, or profession, Or trade, with the northern counties: They regret to say that they failed in many quarters where they had the best reason to anticipate success; but, again, there were instances where the claira of enlarged benevolence, apart from any local feeling, was willi'.igly admitted. There were indi viduals who appeared to consider it a privilege to have an opportunity of- contributing to an object tending so obviously to alleviate the miseries of the poor. Such, then, is the amount of the realised funds, and such is the source from which they have been to a very considerable degree de rived. The Committee Lave nb hesitation in stating to the sub scribers their belief the. the subscription will be soon considerably augmented. An important addition may be reasonably anticipated from the northern counties, and the result of an influential communi cation with India May be looked for with confidence. In closing this part of the suhject, the Committee have to mention that, whilst in London, thtor had the advantage of communicating with the Lord Advocate upon the proposed scheme ;—that his Lordship became himself a subscriber, and that he obtained for tke Institution the benefit of the royal patronage. It is hoped that such royal counte nance may be the means of assisting the subscription in directions whore otherwise it might not have penetrated. In any event, it in vests the undertaking with an additional interest and importance, and guarantees to the public an efficient constitution and management —requiring as It does that that constitution shall receive the approval of the high officers of the Crown. The Committee have made it their endeavour to obtain the best advice as to the site of the proposed Institution. They have re quested the assistance of Dr. Malcolm, of Perth, a gentleman emi nent in the treatment of the insane, and whose opinions were ma tured during an extensive continental - tour amongst similar institu tions, preparatory to the erection of Murray's Asylum, in the neigh bourhood of Perth, with which he has been from its erection, and still is, intimately elnnected. He selected four sites as eligible—one on the property of M r . B a illi e , th e proprietor of Culduthel ; another on that of Mr. Mackintosh, of Raigmore ; a third at the Hut of Health, on the estate of Inshes; and a fourth on the lands of Charleston, the property of Mr. BaMie, of Dochfonr. With the first of these proprietors, Mr. Baillie, of Culduthel, the Committee have been in communication ; but the terms of feu demanded by him are quite impracticable, and therefore the site upon his property adjoin ing the Quarry, and close to the marsh with the Raigmore lands, is out of, the question. The Committee have also communicated with Mr. Mackintosh, bat wAhout any result—that gentleman requiring to know from them thd - amount of feu that will be given, and the Committee naturally enough begging to be informed what is to be asked ; and here the negotiation stands with Mr. Mackintosh. Of course it will be the duty of the subscribers immediately to open a communication with Mr. Robertson, of Inshes, and Mr. Baillie, of Doehfour, and thereafter to select from those equally eligible sites that which may be obtained upon the most eligible terms. In these circumstances of realised Rinds and anticipated increase, the County Committee have considered themselves required to delay no longer the commencement of the Institution. The necessity for its erection is every day forcing itself upon their attention. The num ber of lunatics confined at the expense of the several parishes is every day increasing, and the operation of the New Poor-law Bill must necessarily add to the number. That Bill directs a course by which reluctant parishes may be compelled to the humanity of providing suflicient accommodation for their lunatic poor; but it affords no assistance towards securing such accommodation. The more stringent the obligation upon parishes, the more important to them should be the erection of a local and inexpensive Institution, such as that pro posed. This is obvious, - and will undoubtedly force itself upon the understanding of all such burdened parishes. The Committee, impressed, with these important considerations, submit their proceedings to the general subscribers, and suggest that, without any delay, the necessary steps should be taken for the organisation of the Asylum. They cannot close the account of their proceedings without ex pressing the obligation under which the Institution is placed to se veral gentlemen in the south connected with this part of the country. In Glasgow, Mr. Leith, formerly inspector of the Caledonian Banking Company, most efficiently assisted the canvass; and in London the same beneficial office was with equal liberality discharged by Mr. Mackenzie, American merchant, and by Mr. Macgregor, of Cheap side. To Mr. Young, of The Sun newspaper, the cause is eminently Indebted, for the liberality with which he uniformly admitted the necessary advertisements in a free and prominent access to the co lumns of his important journal.

(Abridged from the Hull Advertiser.) A meeting of the merchants, shipowners, traders, and ether inhabitants of the town of Hull, convened by the Mayor in pursuence of a requisition, to which was at tached the signatures of 136 of the most respectable and influential residents of the borough, was held at the Town-hall on Monday last, for the purpose of praying her Majesty to be pleased to order the ports to be throwis open for the importation of food. The meeting, IN hich was most numerously and respectably attended, wae pre sided over by John Groeham, Esq., the Mayor. The first resolution was proposed by Mr. Alderman TilomrS - ON, and having been seconded by the Rev. J. 11. 13110MBY, Vicar of Hull, was unanimously adopted. It was to the effect that the meeting viewed with serious alarm the failure of the crops, and that it consequently became the duty of the Government to adopt every means for the prevention of the evil results likely to arise ' from it. Dr. GORDON moved a resolution to the. effect that dearth and scarcity of food diminished employment, en gendered disease, and increasel crime among the work ing classes, which was seconded by the Rev. M. SerteEra and carried amidst loud cheers. The next resolution, advocating the opening of the ports by an Order in Council, to be followed by an Act of the Legislature permitting the free importation of human food, was moved by Mr. Alderman Ancessoer, and seconded by Mr. Councillor SISSISSON, and carried with acclamation. HENRY BLUNDELL, Esq., moved that a loyal and dutiful address be presented to her Majesty, imploring her to permit the ports to be thrown open, and to cause the immediate assembling of Parliament, for the pur pose of abolishing all restrictive duties on the importa tion of food. The motion was seconded by J. JONES, Esq., the ex-Mayor, and carried nem. con. E. F. COLLINS, Esq. (Editor of the Hull Advertiser), proposed the adoption of the following memorial:— " TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " Most Gracious Sovereign, " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the inhabitants of the borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, in public meeting assembled, viewing with serious alarm the state in which this country is placed by the general failure of the potato crop, which constitutes the prin cipal food of several millions of the working classes in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the proved deterioration of all descriptions of grain, and being apprehensive that the scarcity and dearness of all description of food produced in these islands will cause an imminent amount of suffering among the poorer classes of your Majesty's people before the ensuing harvest, most humbly approach your Majesty, as the fountain of justice and the hope of your people, in this their season of imminent peril. We would most humbly but most earnestly remind your Majesty that dearth and scarcity of food are proved by the experience of the past to diminish employment, to render property insecure, to excite discontent, to engender disease, to increase crime among the labouring classes. We, therefore, most humbly pray your Majesty to suspend, by the merciful exercise of your Majesty's royal prerogative, the operation of the corn-laws, by commanding the ports of the United Kingdom to be thrown open for the impor tation of all descriptions of food, free of duty; and by summoning Parliament together for the immediate repeal of those laws, and for the removal of all legal re strictions upon the free importation of food for the sus tenance of all classes of your loyal subjects." The Rev. JAMES ASPINALL, Rector of Althorpe, Lin colnshire, on rising to second the motion, was received with tremendous cheering, which lasted several minutes. After the applause had subsided, he proceeded to say— Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, these are eventful and im portant times. The breaking up of the late Ministry— (Cheers)—l never used the word late with so much pleasare before—cannot fail to precipitate a crisis in which all our watchfulness and all our exertions will be required, that we may neither be baffled by open enemies, nor over-reached by false friends who may desert to us from the hostile camp. I rejoice, therefore, . to see this meeting. The struggle with monopoly is not over, whether Sir Robert Peel is meditating treason to it, or is only dreaming of once more modifying it to a less repulsive form. In either case it is only scotched, not killed. But I do not believe the rumours which give him to us as a total repealer, and claim for him the honour of martyrdom. I regard them as inventions cunningly devised, and industriously circulated by the enemy to throw you off your guard, and so lull you into security and consequent inactivity. I am glad, then, to find that you are not the sort of birds to be caught by such chaff.—(Cheers and laughter.) For my part, I am here to-day from the conviction that, when distress be gins in Lancashire, prosperity will not abide very long in Lincolnshire, and that when the profits of cotton fall off, the interests of corn will be greatly damaged. In short, as an agriculturist, I am always most anxious to see the masses in the trading and manufacturing districts obtain " a fair day's work " to make the hungry, and " a fair day's wages " wherewithal to buy the food which we supply. But it will, perhaps, be as well if I commence my remarks to you with briefly stating the results, as far as they can be yet ascertained, of the harvest and potato crop in our part of the country. With regard to the former, that is, the wheat harvest, although much inferior to that of last year which, if I may so say, was next door to a miracle, it is but little below an average, and small complaints would have been heard about it but for the sad and awful failure of the potato crop. On this point, I am sorry to say, exaggeration is almost impossible. But what is, perhaps, the worst feature of all, and must tell tremendously before another harvest is, that we have the phenomenon of low prices, encouraging consumption, with an ascertained scarcity, the farmers being anxious to sell, at any price, such part of their produce as they dare not risk the keeping of for fear of the disease reaching it. I need hardly observe that the result of these things must create a gap in the food of the country which it will be quite im possible for the produce of the wheat harvest to supply, and which must, therefore, help to accelerate the approach of that crisis under the fear of which we are here assembled. But, before I go further into the subject, I have a little scolding and grumbling and some of our friends to get over, in which, I hope, when you hear the purport of it, you will heartily join me. The country has had a bitter lesson during the last few weeks. I trust that it may be a salutary one. Before that period darkened in upon us, it had become the fashion of many speakers and writers on our side of the question to be constantly telling us that Sir Robert Peel was an excellent free-trader, and would, in time, do everything for us. For myself, I must say that I always considered such persons to be very original eulogists of the lite Premier ; for their compliment to him, when translated into plein English, could mean nothing else but that they regarded him as the veritable and amiable snake warmed and cherished in the bosoul or monopoly only to sting it to death.—(Loud cheers.) Now, I do not think that this strange trust in Sir Robert Peel has yet affected the self-reliance or diminished the efforts and energies of any of the free-trade party. But its ten dency, if persevered in, would be to produce such an effect. You may depend upon it that any seeming bias which you may ever have perceived in him towards your principles has been the 'seult of your selfreliance. But if Vou ever go to sleep, and allow it to he the substi tute for it, it will become " fine by degrees and beauti fully less," until it altogether vanishes from your view ; that is, if the monopolists had brought the greatest pressure to bear upon the late Minister, he would, I verily believe, have remained with the monopolists ; but, as it happened that the free-traders produced this greatest preseiite ; he has come over to free trade, or to some approximation towards it, of which we do not know the exact degree yet.—(Cheers.) You will probably recol lect in your miscellaneous reading to have met with an account of an elderly gentleman, Mr. Bold, who once, as he returned a young lady's glove, which she had acci dentally dropped, thus tenderly addressed her— " If from glove you take the letter Cie You make it love—that's what I feel for thee ?" • to which this sad rejoinder instantly came forth -0 And if foam bold you take the letter B, You'd make It cid: and that won't do for me." Ad I would try it a third time, and put it— " And if from Peel you take the letter You make it eel, add fhat'S too slippery for rte." That is, I have not yet admitted hitt into my Book of Martyrs.—(Renewed laughter.) But then comes the question, which haa often been asked of the good-natured people of whom I speak—" lire you not satisfied with what Bir Ttobert Peel has done for trade ? Did he not take the sages oF fOrrr hundred and thirty articles all PA once at the beginning of this -;er± year? To be sure he did. But it must be recollected, that if (to use a crin.-.'zi-ciftlnlirase) he is a free-trader in the sample, be' is, or was very leiely; dill a monopolist in the bulk. He abandoned, it is true, foul' Hundred and thirty poor, inteeeni: piney monopolies, which noliody felt, and which noboay, thcieforel complained about, but he stiff upheld the two giants, the Gog and Meteog of monopoly, anger and corn—(Loud cheers) — in all the imialetsify of theli cee'reteiste weight. But enough of this. I will only ask, in conneiicti with its have we not leaders of our own, without everlastingly coc e inetf.inT with one who has always shown himself to be, and, 1 oelioi r ai kill is, the most megiecious champion of monopoly ? Have i+to' not all the tried met of the League ?—(Loud cheers.) 1 - 11.*6 y; if not Mr. Meeartlay?—(Peenewed cheering.) Hie riot a Morpith just thrown in his time-honoured name to take his part atid lot with us f--(Tremendous cheers.) And what other war-cry is that raised in the forefront of the battle? It passes from mouth, and cheers frone month to mouth, and cheers us with the certainty of success, aS it tells that the hero of a hundred fights and of a hundred victofies in the political struggle has joined us, and unfurled the plat and unsullied banner of tho house of Russell at our head. Let us, then, I say I again, place all our treet in self-reliance, union, and our owofe ea , • -- exertions and cast off altogether the foo lish thoughteenfiding in the abduction, by Robert ree l ., and his being compelledbienc y the force of expedy, of Sir I Will ' circumstances to become t he unwilling ste father now go on of free trade.—(Cheers and laughter.) to consider whether, throuhghrthreosilgplueoctotma y w e h t in s us, we may not see brig f taell, m h is r e u p f o o n r p let e fix your attention • the country. And, first o on what I consider to be a ver l y d encour e ag n i i n l g th s e ig ir n o fo ld r our cause. It s enemies have at aside arguments against it. Not that they have got any are aban better or stronger instead of them, but the old ones doned as no longer tenable. There is, for instance, the newest of all—the ducal one, which says, "Never mind corn, but stick to curry powder."—(Laughter.) Again, at one of their meetings, not very long ago, it was urged that no fault whatever rested with the corn-laws, but that much of obloquy and odium was brought upon them by the iniquitous bakers, who would charge such enormous and unreasonable prices for their bread.— (Cheers and laughter.) Fortunate bakers! that they do not live in Constantinople, where the Turks cheapen loaves by cutting off the bakers' ears, and, sometimes, their heads.—(Renewed laughter.) Another mode of endeavouring to keep monopoly mit of sight is, for its advocates to maintain a perpetual outcry on the subject of the miseries of the werking classes in the trading and manufacturing districts. But as this has been al ready most expressively defined, by a leading organ of Toryism itself, as " factious benevolence," I shall not spoil the picture by adding one word of my own to it. But the most extraordinary substitute for an argument in behalf of monopoly which I have yet seen was one which I met with a short time since in an agri cultural journal, in which it It'a.l urged that the corn and sugar monopolies had just ea good a claim as the national debt upon the taxation of the country, and that, consequently, to assail the former was to threaten the latter with the sponge. Never NVAS a more absurd proposition put forth by the simplicity of man.—(Hear, Lear.) What is the national debt ? It is the representative of money lent by private individuals to the state, and, until the capital is repaid, the interest must be regularly forthcoming to those who, confiding in the national faith, have trusted their money to the country instead of investing it in other securities. Now, what claim have the monopolists equal to this ? Have they lent any money to the country ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") At what time and to what amount ? When did the transaction take place, and how was the sum borrowed expended by us ? Until we know all these particulars, we shell demur to the alleged debt, and continue to believe that our ideal creditors have been oftener borrowers than lenders ; more frequently receivers than givers.—(Hear, hear.) But did you observe the very revolutionary hint about the sponge and the national debt in the argument of the cham pion of monopoly ? Really I was not prepared to ex pect anything so bad as this even in such a very unscru pulous quarter.—(Laughter.) My faith in Toryism, small as it ever was, is now utterly gone. When the magistrate turned over the exciseman to the tender mercies of the infuriated mob, his measured hint against violence was contained in the words, " There is the pump, but on no account put him under it." And what says the Tore scribe in this instance ? " There stands the national debt, and here is the sponge ; but be sure you do not let the one come in contact with the other.''---This is posi tively monstrous. What enormity Toryism may next contemplate in its onward progress it is impossible even to guess. All good citizens must be prepared to check and counteract its revolutionary and anarchical tendencies. Repeal the corn-laws, and you give a new lease of vi tality to the commerce and manufactures of the coun try, and render trade trade indeed, and no longer a mere speculation. Repeal the corn-laws, and you make the world the market of England, and England the workshop of the world.—(Hear, hear.) Repeal the corn laws, amid you fill every sea with our ships, and every land with our goods. Repeal the corn laws, and what I look at most in the whole struggle, you will give labour constant and steady employment, and so rescue it from those periodical battlings with famine to which it is now exposed as often as a failing harvest comes round, with, first, stagnation, and then panic in its train.—(Loud cheers.) Whatever the timid and impatient may say to the contrary, I think that our cease is advancing steadily and surely towards success. I point to all the little nothings and the almost as little somethings which the late Ministers have grugdingly conceded to the principles of free-trade, to their amended tariff, to their altered corn laws. These, be they ever so trifling in themselves, and, as I said before, ever so unwillingly or ever so craftily yielded, are still to be hailed as so many straws, so many pilot balloons, sent up to try the current of public opinion, and indicating that, whenever " the pressure from without" shall be strong enough to insist, in the name of the people of England, upon a repeal of the corn-laws, the thing will be done, let who will hold sway in Down ing-street. But, while speaking of these things, let us give praise to those to whom praise is due.—(Cheers.) In all that the late Premier yielded to the demand for free-trade, he did but feebly and poorly imitate the an nounced policy of the Ministers whom, in his struggle for place and not for principle, he so treacherously drove out for avowing those very tendencies to which he has since, in part, given practical effect. This, I am aware, is a very sore point both with Sir Robert Peel and his more im mediate followers. " Sir Robert adopts free trade in imitation of the Melbourne Administration ;" they in dignantly exclaim, " He was always a free-trader, and his policy was his own, and borrowed from no one else." Now, if it be correct that he was always a free-trader, he must have kept the secret admirably for many years of his life, so much so, indeed, that our merchants and manufacturers have a right to put the question to him— "'Tis true that, you say, you dissembled your love, But why did you kick us down stairs ?"—(Laughter.) And then, again, as to the assertion that his policy was his own; who doubts it? Do you? Do I? Does any body ? The golden hair that Galls wears Is her's : who would have thought it? She swears 'tis hers ; and true she swears, For I know where she bought it." —(Laughter.) But, perhaps, it may be said that, al. though the small concessions made by Sir Robert Peel to the principle of free-trade, are, whatever may have been his motive, good, so far as they go, still they are not to be received as positive signs and symptoms that the monopolists are prepared to abandon the corn-laws. Not if they can help it, certainly. But you shonld know your men better—you should know both them and your selves, both their strength and your strength, better. The people of England will bear much and long. They are a people little addicted to change, and only driven to it by the most exasperating stimulants. But when once they feel that right and justice are with them, and their hearts are up and determined upon victory, they will be more than a match for any Ministry which, in the vicissitudes of the struggle upon which we are entering, the monopolists may pick and cull to their own satisfaction and pit against them. Up to a very recent period all was well with us. The country was prosperous and happy. Providence had overruled the blunders and ignorance of men, and two bounteous harvests had coun teracted the mischievous working of class legislation. A wise statesman would, like Joseph preparing in the years of plenty for the years of famine, have taken ad vantage of such a period, and smoothed the way for the next scarcity in our own crops, whenever there should be a change of the seasons, and they should leave the Ministerial benches to go into Opposi tion. But what was Sir Robert Peel doing all this time? lie was watching over the food monopoly until very lately with careful tenderness, as if it were the proudest monument of his legislative wisdom, and not only that, but, as if anxious to "make hay while the sun shone," for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he crowned the ex periment upon John Bull's patience, good-nature, and gullibility, with the pleasant addition of the income tax (Hear, hear) thus employing the time fur averting another commercial crisis in rendering a commercial crisis more certain and inevitable than over. But what security had we for the continuance of this state of things ? Was Sir Robert Peel regent over the barometer ? Was he master of the seasons ? Could he nail the weathercock in any particular quarter ? Could he give up any guarantee for a farther series of good harvests ?—(Cheers.) Not he. Well, then, what followed ? Our prosperity being only a fair-weather prosperity, we felt that we must abide the issue in fear and trembling, as men who knew that the first short or failing harvest would scatter all our delightful dreams and golden prospects to the winds.—(Hear, hear.) When ever it comes, we said to ourselves, the averages will begin to creep up, as they are doing now. Anxiously and feverishly will they be watched from many a quarter of the country. At last they will be dangerously high. Then there will be a whisper in the Bank parlour warn ing the directors that it is time to be preparing for the cominp; storm. The country banks, taking the hint from head-quarters, will catch the infection, and become equally cautious. The accounts of their customers will be searchingly looked into. "Pay up" will be the order of the day. Money will be scarce; business will stagnate; confidence and credit will depart. There will be a snivel). and a crash, far, wide , and sweep in g , throu g h the trading' and manufacturing districts. What of rail road shares then? what of them now, at only " the begin ning of the end?" But what of them then, when the and itself is upon us? What of bank shares? What of the shipping interest? What of business in all its branches, when many a gallant bark of enterprise shall be engulfed in the troubled waters on which it rode so gloriously before--e-(Lond cries of " Hear, hear ")—and there shall be more return bills than profits, and more bank ruptcies than successful speculations? There will be broken fortunes and blasted hopes ; blighted prospects and withered hearts ; there will be woe, and wailing, and lamentation in the land ; there will be mills stopped. neid the industrious thrown out of work ; the rin i n i ( ear) — employer will be starvation of the employ d e their demon poverty and hunger will again h ra s i yes,i front, and once more strew with the path by which monopolyo itsticsingtriuvmieptihmasl car' lit the Juggernaut r f ryeers.) e the Duke Then, perk psi dragsd o hs l er a i }I and bitaer wisdom ; and, feeling the learn tardy r l ° ) mul it ee of .

We must :ake nere of our customers if we want to take care of our;aelres. We cannot attract customers by cutting off their means. We cannot empty their pockets, and expect still to le.q, rich by filling their mouths.—(Cheers.) The great body of the landowners, however, still cling to their fears as to the effect upon prices upon which the admis sion of foreign corn would produce in this country. /: believe them to be wrong. They think only of theincreaseia supply, while they ought to set against it the increased ants steady demand, the increased and steady consumption, which the more trade of free-trade would create among the working classes, by bringing about a state of thing when, as Dickens somewhere e:Vresses it, dinner would happily come round to them as reularly as dinner time.—(Cheers.) But supposing, for tie , ' sake of argu ment, that prices would not exactly maintain the height at which they now range one year with another in this country, the landowners should, as another item in their calculations, ask themselves, where and at what prieese. and, consequently, rents will be, when monopoly, if long maintained, has ruined our best customers, the manufacturing and trading population?—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Our chief object, as wise even, should be to consult and legislate for the prosperity of our cus tomers, and, in so doing, to look, if I may draw such ar distinction, not at first consequences, but final conse quences. To act otherwise, is to let the ship founder, rather than save her, by incurring the cost of cutting away the masts. It is to suffer your house to burn to the ground without interruption, lest, if you should eetut.: for the engines, they might, in extinguishing the flamea, injure your best bed, damp your Turkey carpet, or take• the shine out of the French polish of your drawing-room furniture.—(Loud cheers.)

But while we, with our finite intellect, are endeavouring to calculate, to the. shadow of a fraction, the results of free-trade to our per ticular interest, a third party steps in and turns the se.sle at once for ue. It is eternal justice, and it rests its appeal to us upon that golden precept, which is tha essence of all practical Christianity, and which teaches us that "we should do unto others as we would that others should do unto us." But Dave done. From what was once deemed to be an impossibility, our cause has advanced, first of all, to possibility, then from poe sibility to probability, from probability to certainty, and from one certainty to another, until the .hour of its triumph cannot now be far off.—(Cheers.) It is true that the fortress of monopoly still stands before us seem ingly in all its dark and gloomy strength. But fate no longer frowns upon us from its its banners. Its towers and all its bulwarks are undermined. Its defenders, some from fear, some from shame, and some, let us' hope, from conviction, are gradually desertiug its walls. A few more strokes from the battering-ram of truth, and all will sink into the dust together. Then will be the real jubilee of mankind.—(Cheers.) Then will people congratulate people, as the loud huzza spreads from land to land, until it reaches the ends of the earth. " Mono poly is fallen, and trade is free." That would be, in deed, music for the million. 0! that the day may soon be here, when it shall be chanted forth in a grand chorus of all the nations of the world! "Monopoly is fallen, and trade is free." After seconding the adoption of the memorial, the Rev. Gentleman resumed his seat amidst peals of applause, which were several tioes renewed. The memorial was agreed to, and, after voting thanks to the Mayor, the meeting separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 18.

SINGULAR SontEr.--On Thursday evening, authorities at St. Peter's Hospital, Bristol, determined , giving an entertainment to the lunatics confined in: s house; and, accordingly the place having been lit up an:.. music provided, about eight o'clock festivities commenced,bV dancing and other innocent diversions, in which our poct afflicted fellow beings of both sexes joined, seeming through to enter into the sport, which revived in some the touchu.t_ recollections of former times, and in others awakened: extacies of loud delusion. Some, w ho fancied themsel An, kings and queens, looked upon the entertainment as Hitt.. short of a court ball, and conducted themselves according; 1 while others, whose hallucinations were less ambitious,f t• cied themselves once more in the holiday festivals of.:t native village. Some would have it that they were walknig in the midst of their tenantry. The dancing was morel tive than regular; a few moved with slow and stattlyity. - while others skipped and jumped and caricoled about,d independent of friends and fiddles. Some broke out scraps of wild melody, some harangued and talked verse,i t. each seemed happy ; the peculiar and varied wanderings lAx delusions of all creating on the whole, a most curious etlec The entertainment lasted two or three hours; and the at/ et was not merely pleasant, but glinted to be salutary... - Bristol paper.
