That the public may not be misled by the various statements that have appeared in the public papers, and ix the pro spectus of the Isle of Wight Railway Company, I am desired to state, that at a general meeting held at New port on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried, declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc tion of railways into the island, and that a Committee of gentlemen was, at the same time, appointed to watch the proceedings of the railway projectors ; and I am further directed by the Committee to state, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influ ential landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would pass, but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition to the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

Yesterday a meeting of the holders of Ecuador bonds (for merly Colombian) was held at two o'clock, at the London Tavern, to consider the propriety of accepting an offer, made by Colonel Wright, on behalf of the Government of Ecuador, in liquidation of loans contracted in 1822 and 1824, when that State formed, along with Venezuela and New Grenada, the republic of Colombia. Mr. Robinson was unanimously called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the business by reading Col. Wright's letter, containing the proposal which appeared in all the Tuesday's papers. Having done so, the Hon. Gentleman went into an explanation of the circumstances which had led to the present meeting. The committee had received the proposal from Colonel Wright, and in consequence they had thought it the wisest course to call the bondholders together to take their sense of the proposal. As a means of understanding the capacity of the State of Ecuador, Colonel Wright had supplied him with a state ment of the revenue and expenditure for several years. The following is an abstract of the statement in question : In 1839, revenue 1,007,480 dolls. ; expenditure 1,290,128 dolls. ; deficit 282,648 dolls. 1840, revenue 870,316 dolls. ; expenditure 1,084,713 dolls. ; deficit 214,397 dolls. 1841, revenue 772,042 dolls. ; expenditure 1,230,569 dolls. ; de ficit 458,527 dolls. 1842, revenue 703,369 dolls. ; expen diture 1,231,208 dolls. ; deficit 527,839 dolls. 1843, revenue 1,154,236 dolls. ; expenditure 1,218,043 dol. ; deficit 63,807 dol. He was anxious, seeing that a great increase had taken place in the revenue from 1842 to 1843, to know if there had been a similar improvement in 1844. In order to learn this he had written to Colonel Wright for information, but Le (the Chairman) had not received any answer, arising, no doubt, from that gentleman being out of town. Looking at the proposal made in all its bearings, be was not disposed to ac cede to the terms. They were promised only a sixth of their debt, though it appeared there was no security for even that, the expenditure being greater than the revenue. Beyond the one per cent. per annum promised, there was no likelihood of inerease, unless they could manage to send out from 5,000 to 25,000 persons as emigrants, as they were promised 1 per cent. for every 5,000 persons sent out; but that proposal was not likely to be realised, as there was a great objection to South America as a field of emigration. But even were that practicable, which he did not think it was, they would require at least 120,0001. as a fund to carry that into effect. He left it in their hands to deal with the proposition as they thought fit. He could not, however, advise them to accept the terms; the sum was so paltry that he was almost ashamed to name it to them. Whether the rejection of the proposal would lead to better terms, as had been stated by a writer in the Times the other day, he could not say, as he was ignorant of the resources and means at the disposal of Ecuador to merit its obli gation. _ _ _ After a brief discussion, in which the strongest feeling was expressed against the proposal, a resolution was put and carried, with but two dissentients, that it be rejected. It was also agreed that the committee be empowered to take measures to effect more favourable terms for the bondholders, and that the assistance of the British Government be re quested to forward their negotiations. The meeting then broke up. The Brighton and Chichester Railway is to be opened as far as Worthing on Monday next, General Pasley baying inspected the line, and certified that it in a state for traffic. The opening would have taken place last week, but for the unfavourable state of the weather during the preceding week.—Brighton Ga-ett4 OPENING OF THE PORTS. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—This morning, at 11 o'clock, a very numerous meeting of the merchants, bankers, manufac turers, tradesmen, and other inhabitants of the borough of Manchester. was held in the large room of the Town-hall, King-street, "for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of memorialising her Majesty's Government in fa vour of opening the ports for the free admission of grain and all other kinds of provisions, to avert the calamity likely to arise from the scarcity of food, owing to the failure of the po tato crop and the defective quality of the wheat harvest." The meeting was convened by the Mayor, on the requisition of upwards of 800 firms and individuals of station in the town. Mr. W. B. Watkins, Mayor, presided, and on the platform we observed Mr. Phillips, M.P.,Brotherton, M.P., Mr. Messrs. Aldermen W. field, C. J. S. Walker, James Kershaw, John Mason, J. Shuttleworth, P. F. Willert, A. Kay, E. Armitage, and John Burd ; also Messrs. G. Wilson, T. Bazley, Presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce; Absalom Watkin, J. B. Smith, James M'Laren, Sidney Potter, Benjamin Pearson, W. Bickham, W. Woodcock, Robert Gardner, J. Chadwick, J. Watts, Rev. W. M'Kerrow, W. Gaskell, Joseph Greave, Thomas Woollev, Samuel Lees, J. S. Grafton, Joseph Simp son, T. H. Williams, W. Morris, Thomas Hardbottle, and others. The MAYon said, that independent of the obiect of the meeting, the respectability of the requisition would have warranted him in calling such a meeting. They were met to memorialise her Majesty's Government, and he hoped the business would be transacted not only with good temper, but with great spirit, and if there were any gentlemen present who differed as to the objects of the meeting, he hoped they would have a fair hearing. He would, without further comment, call on Mr. R. 11. Greg to move the first resolu- tion. Mr. GREG then came forward, and observed, that if he had been asked to sign such a requisition a month ago he would not have consented to do so; but now that so alarming a necessity had presented itself he did not hesitate to ask for the opening of the ports. It was well known that there was a failure of the wheat crop, and that the weather for gathering it in was another source of scarcity. He had been in Scotland last week, and in some of the most forward districts the wheat crop had not been gathered. He regretted the further cala mity which arose from the failure of the potato crops, a de scription of sustenance which formed a large portion of the food of the people of Ireland, Scotland, and the north of Eng land. When the extent of that disease became known, the cry was raised " Open the ports," and that cry was re-echoed by the press without regard to politics. Four Cabinet Councils had been held, and he did not hesitate to say that nine-tenths of the population were ready to see the result of those meet ings in the opening of the ports ; but from some cause which he could not explain, no order was issued for the admission of foreign grain. Some people said that the sadden opening of the ports would have the effect of advancing the price of corn in other markets, but this he believed to be a fallacy. He was decidedly of opinion that the sliding-scale was one of the greatest curses that ever afflicted this country. He concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That the deficiency of the harvest and the failure of the potato crop in many parts of the United Kingdom have produced the utmost ap prehension among all classes of the community, and are cir cumstances imperatively requiring the immediate considera tion of her Majesty's Government." Mr. J. HEYWOOD, in seconding the resolution, said that the cultivation of the potato crop was one of the causes of keeping on the corn-laws. As the price of grain advanced the cultivation of the potato root progressed, and it was a curious fact that a disease in that root should now come to facilitate the repeal of the corn-laws. In England the disease might not be so great, but in Scotland it was severely felt. In Lanarkshire meetings had been held, at which statements were made from which it appeared that at least one-half of the crop was diseased. In Ireland the suffering created by the disease was greater than in any other part of the king dom, owing to the fact that potatoes were the staple food of the people of that country. After a few remarks on the dis puted territory in America, he concluded by seconding the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman Kw moved the next resolution. He had no desire to be considered an alarmist, but when he saw the present, and contemplated the future state of this rot dis trict., he could not help urging the people of Manchester to devise means to avert a calamity which must inevitably ensue. If the ports be not opened, or some other measure adopted, famine and great distress, he was sure, would over take the inhabitants of the manufacturing districts. He then took a review of the difference of the prices of food, and con tended that, when food was cheap manufactures were prosperous. They (the people of Manchester) were met for the purpose of demanding from Her Majesty's Ministers the opening of the ports, and he hoped every district in the kingdom would make the same demand in terms not to be misunderstood. He was no party roan; the time was come when all names in politics should be forgotten, and the Ministers told that the people were not to be allowed to starve for the protection of sectional interests.—The worthy Alderman then read lengthy extracts from a work entitled Blanchester in 1844. We copy a few of the ex tracts :—" In Manchester, in March, 1844, there were 116 factories and other mills which had ceased working; 681 shops and offices had been closed, and 5,492 houses were un occupied. The value of mill buildings and machinery had lessened fully one-half ; and five spinning mills, estimated at 211,0001., only found buyers at the sum of 66,000/. The butchers, grocers, and linendrapers declared that their daily sales had decreased 40 per cent. A committee of relief, formed for the distribution of clothing and bedding to the poor, visited, in the course of the year 1840, 10,000 families, containing 45,591 individuals, of whom 2,000 could not be relieved for want of funds. The rooms and cellars occupied by these unfortunate beings were entirely destitute of furniture. Bricks and logs of wood were the substitutes for tables and chairs. heaps ofehavings, litters of straw, defiled with all sorts of impurities, served them for beds. Frequently several families occupied different corners of the same chamber, and there was no separation of the sexes, save the distance between the beds of straw. It was found that a certain portion of the town, consisting of No. 1 and part of No. 2 districts, con tained 2,000 families, numbering 8,866 persons, earning on the average Is. 24d. only per head per week, being at the rate of ss. 3id. only per week for each family. The number of pawn-tickets possessed by these families was 22,417, and not 27,417. ; and, upon the articles thus pawned, the amount of 2,7801. 14s. 4d. had been advancd." " In Bolton, a town of 50,008 souls, 50 manufacturers em ployed ordinarily 8,124 workmen ; in 1842, 30 of these esta blishments were closed, or did not work more than four days per week, and 5,061 hands were thus deprived wholly or in part of the means of subsistence. Of 2,110 ironfounders and mechanics, 785 had been thrown out of work, and the re mainder, viz., 1,325 of these men, who in 1836 had been urged to make nine to twelve working days out of each week, were reduced to four or five days per week. The other trades had suffered the same reduction. In short, if to the de creased wages of the working classes, we add the augmented price of provisions—the loss to these operatives must have been at least 320,560/. per annum, or upwards of 1,000/. per day. Public charity is powerless against such calamities as these." Stockport and other manufacturing towns were in the same condition. He concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That the recollection of the calamities which afflicted this district and the whole country during the period of high prices of food, from 1838 to 1842, renders it impos sible to contemplate the recurrence of a similar state of suf fering without intense anxiety and alarm." Mr. Alderman Wausisn seconded the resolution, and ob served that no time should be lost; they had waited seven years and nothing had been done. Sir Robert Peel had not grappled with any of the great questions which were neces sary for the improvement of the condition of the poor ; he had conceded the whole question of the corn-laws, and he was well aware of the injustice of the sliding•scale. It had been said that he would repeal the corn-laws if he could, but he (Alderman Walker) believed he could repeal them if he ;Mould. He had not forgotten the advice which Sir R. Peel had given to Lord John Russell ; he told bins if he could not carry ni measures he ought to resign. Now, he (Alder man Walker) would suggest to the Minister to apply that advice to himself, and if his colleagues stood in the way of the repeal of the corn-laws, let him appeal to the country, and see if the constituencies of England would not return to Parliament such Members as would support him in this glo rious undertaking. He concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. Alderman NIELD, in supporting the resolution, said, he respectfully submitted that the sliding• scale should slide away, and never again be heard of in England. It was well known that the protection afforded by that law had done more to prevent the cultivation of the soil than any other circumstance. In Lancashire, Cheshire, and many other counties, the land was in a state of almost original nature, which never could have been the case had it not been for the protection of the sliding-scale. He concluded by calling on Sir Robert Peel to comply with the prayer of that meeting, in which he would be supported by the great majority of the people. Mr. A. Warrixs moved the third resolution, in a speech of some length, in the course of which he stated, that Sir Robert Peel had been bound down by the owners of the soil, and it did appear to him one of the most extraordi nary cases of aberration of a noble mind. He could not conceive why he allowed himself to be thus hound down, knowing as he did that these very men hated him. lie moved—" That the immediate opening of the ports for the free admission of food, and the repeal, without delay, of every law which restricts its importation, are measures ob viously required to prevent a serious revulsion in trade, and consequent grievous suffering to the whole of our industrious population.' Mr. B. PEARSON seconded the resolution, and contended that the people had let themselves too low in asking for a repeal of tke corn-laws alone ; they ought to demand a bounty on all corn imported into England for the next thirty years as a compensation for the injury they had sus tained since the imposition of the corn-laws. Whilst they were demanding a repeal of those laws they must take care they do not split on the rock of a fixed duty, which would, in his opinion, he more injurious than the present law, be cause it would delay their ultimate repeal. He regretted that the Government bad taught the people, that however good their cause was, it could only be obtained by clamour, and therefore he urged the people to demand an immediate and total repeal of the corn-laws.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried with acclamation. Mr. T. BAZLEY, President of the Chamber of Commerce, moved the next resolution ;—" That this meeting, therefore, respectfully, but most earnestly, calls upon her Maj es ty' s Ministers to suspend immediately the operation of the Corn Bill, and to submit to the Legislature, at an early day, a measure for the entire abolition of all laws which restrict the free supply of food." With cheap food they had seen pros perity in trade and manufactures, and with dear food a revul sion of that prosperity, and therefore he urged them to de mand the opening of the ports, and having procured that object care should be taken never again to allow them to be closed. The manufactures of England had scarcely recovered from a depression of many years, when, by a failure of the crops and consequent dearness of food, they were again to be plunged into the same state. With cheap food and pros perity of trade the wages of the workmen had been advanced, but with the prospect of bad trade and dear food before them, a reduction of those wages must follow. Mr. Alderman KERSHAW seconded the motion, and de clared that he would not have seconded the resolution had it not contained a demand for a total repeal of the corn-laws. he had not the nerve to contemplate the pending evils without serious alarm. What has already been the conse quences? The state of the money market had been seri ously affected, ;and the price of manufactures had declined within the last two months at least 10 per cent. He felt that in calling on the Government to open the ports lie was demanding a measure of humanity, and where were they to look for such succour but from the paternal government of the country. He did not wish to exaggerate the state of the country, but he could not help calling the attention of the meeting to the awful state of the country, more especially the manufacturing districts, a few years ago, when its trade was interfered with by the operation of the corn-laws. He hoped the voice of every town in the kingdom would ring PRICE, SD. in the ears of her Majesty's Ministers, and on them would lie the moral responsibility of the future state of the country if they refusel to listen to the prayers of the people. Mr. MARK PHILIPS, M.P., moved the adoption of a me morial to Sir R. Peel, and observed that the country had ar rived at a most important crisis. He concurred with every opinion which had that day been expressed respecting the pending scarcity of food, and could not help contemplating with alarm the fearful result that may ensue if something was not immediately done to avert the forthcoming evils. He then read the following memorial " TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P., FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY. " The Memorial of the Menchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, Traders, and others, Inhabitants of the Borough of Man chester, in Public Meeting assembled, " Showeth,—That your memorialists have every reason to believe that the produce of the grain harvest, just concluded, is seriously deficient both in quantity and quality, and such as to cause a continuance of high and advancing prices in the staple articles of human food. " That, in addition to this unfavourable circumstance, there has occurred throughout a large portion of Great Britain, and still more generally in Ireland, a failure in the potato crop, by which the evil of a deficient grain harvest is certain to be greatly aggravated. " That your memorialists have a painful recollection of the manifold calamities with which the country has been visited on former occasions, when, owing to deficient h arvests, t h e pecuniary means of the labouring population have been ab sorbed in the purchase of food ; and they cannot contemplate a continuance of the present high prices, and their probable increase, without the most serious alarm. "That yoar memorialists entertain the belief that, after past and preselit experience of the frightful consequences of a system of legislation, by which an industrious and skilful people are prevented from supplying themselves with abun dance of food, no wise statesman will hesitate as to the pro priety and necessity of an immediate abolition of all restric tions upon the importation of foreign grain; and they are most anxious to impress upon her Majesty's Ministers the importance of an immediate attention to this subject. " Your memorialists desire to express, in the strongest manner, their deliberate and confirmed opinion that the cir cumstances of the coantry z:equire that the porta should forth with be opened for the free admission of all kinds of grain ; and, further, that her Majesty's Ministers will consult the true interests of all classes in this kingdom by submitting to the Legislature, at the very earliest opportunity, a measure for the entire removal of all laws by which any restriction is placed on the supply of food. " Your memorialists would, in conclusion, respectfully, but most earnestly, remind y ou h ow h eavy will be your individual responsibility, if you now refuse to act in accordance with those principles the truth of which you have so often ac knowledged, and by the full adoption of which, and by that only, they believe the nation can be preserved from disaster and calamity appalling to contemplate." Although he was there as their representative, he might be allowed to address a few words to them as an agriculturist. He had for some time paid much attention to the state of the crops, and he had no hesitation in saying that at least one half the potato crop in the locality in which he resided would not be fit for human food. Now, if that was a fair picture of the general state of the country, what was to become of the population ; more especially the agricultural labourers, who would• be compelled to consume the whole of their produce before Christmas and left to starve in the spring? What will be their condition in March next, when they come to sow their crop for the coming year? That was a point not to be overlooked, and he was sure Sir Robert Peel was not asleep on those matters. The question then was, is Sir Robert Peel to be made the tool of a section of the people, to the disad vantage of the millions who are starving? Mr. JOSEPH BROTHERTON, M.P., seconded the adoption of the memorial. He said he considered the objects of the meet ing to be good, and the means taken wise and politic. He would ask, were they asking the Ministers for a favour or a right ?—(" Right.") The landowners undertook to feed the people, and they had not done so, and therefore the people must now demand the privilege of feeding themselves. He was of the same opinion as Mr. Walker, he believed Sir Robert Peel could repeal the corn-laws, and he must be made to know that the people demanded it as a right, and were determined to have it.—(Applause.) The memorial was carried with loud cheers, and Messrs. Philips, Brotherton, Kay, and Greg appointed a deputation to present it. On the motion of Mr. Robert Gardner, seconded by Mr. White, thanks were voted to the Mayor, and the proceedings terminated about two o'clock. At a meeting of the Town Council of Manchester, on Wednesday, after the business on the notice paper had been gone through,— Mr. Councillor Suurrmworerm asked whether this was not an adjourned quarterly meeting, and if so wh e th er it was not competent fo r a member of the Council to propose a mo tion of which notice had not been given? The TOWN CLERK, after a short consultation with the Mayor and ex-Mayor, said although their circular did not state that this was an adjourned quarterly meeting as well as special meeting, yet he had read the proceedings of the last meeting at the commencement of the business, by which the quarterly meeting was adjourned to this day, and whether there had been a circular issued or not for special business, the Council would have met to-day by that adjournment, and he conceived therefore that it was competent for Mr. Shuttleworth to move any motion, though notice of it had not been previously given. Mr. Councillor Smerrizwonm said he would rather not have moved the resolution before him if any other gentleman of whom he saw many more competent, would do so; but if no one else rose to make such a motion he must,—for he felt it to be a question of duty.—(Hear, hear.) He moved a resolution calling upon her Majesty's Ministers to ope n th e p orts, an d d eclaring that the Council would hold them responsible for the calamities that might result to the country should they neglect to do so.—(Loud applause.) Mr. Councillor Paxxricx said, although he had not pre viously heard the terms of the resolution, he felt bound to second it with all his heart.—(Applause.) He must confess that he, along with a great nu m b er o f th e mem b ers of the Council, had been guilty of signing a requisition to the Mayor to call a meeting on this subject to-morrow (Thursday), and not having taken the trouble to read the heading carefully, he had thought that it was to call a meeting of the Town Council ; however, it turned out that it was a requisition to call a public town's meeting. And he was pleased to see that it bore the names of all the aldermen, and nearly all the councillors of the borough. This itself was a pretty strong test of the opinion held upon the question by that Council. Short as the notice was at which the motion was brought be fore them, he thought the opportunity a favourable one ; there was no doubt the Minister would be obliged to do something, and as he had himself declared in Parliament that it was tie right of every man to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest markets, they were only helping him to carry into effect his own opinions. He understood that on a late occasion, when the May or was i nv i te d to T amworth, Sir Robert Peel took every opportunity of showing in his person the respect he paid to the town of Manchester, and if he paid that respect to him (Mr. Watkins) as Mayor of Manchester, it was to be hoped that he would pay the same resp ec t t o a memorial from the town o f Manchester when it was signed by him as the Mayor of Manchester.—( Hear, and applause.) Mr. Marreixw Tommisort supported the motion, and said he was happy to find that it pat the responsibility of neg lecting to comply with its object where it was said to rest by a gentleman once a distinguished member of their body—Mr. Alderman Cobden—upon the Ministers.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman KAY, (l a t e M ayor ) said he did ' not rise to object to the motion, but he 'suggested that it would be un wise to affix responsibility where it did not exactly rest. Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues could only open the ports with the sanction of Parliament, and if they were to open them during the recess, they would have to ask Parliament, upon its assembling, for an Act of indemnity. He suggested that a committee be appointed, who should retire from the i Council, and put the resolution into such shape that it would be - less objectionable. Ultimately, upon this suggestion, Mr. Alderman Neild, Mr. ♦lderman Kay, Mr. Shuttleworth, Mr. Prentice, and Mr. A. Heywood, were appointed a committee to retire, and after an absence of about ten minutes they returned with Mr. Shuttleworth's resolution slightly altered, and put in the form of a memorial to Sir Robert Peel. Mr. SHUTPLEWORTH said he thought at the time that he and Mr. Alderman Kay were agreed on this subject, though they expressed themselves differently and misunderstood each other. Mr. Alderman Kay meant legal responsibility, and le (Mr. Shuttleworth) moral responsibility. He had great pleasure in moving the memorial, and that it be signed by . the Mayor on behalf of the Town Council, and that the com mon seal of the Corporation be attached to it, and that it be presented to Sir Robert Peel.—(Applause.) He felt that after the sentiments he had expressed, Sir Robert Peel must only be acting in accordance with his own wishes and con victions in acceding to the prayer of their memorial, for though closely connected with the landlords, he had as clear a perception of our commercial interests as any of them, and he (Mr. Shuttleworth) had no doubt that he was preparing— if net in the ordinary sense of the term, in one which might be readily understood—to " turn another sod "—(Hear, hear, and laughter) —and to enable them still to occupy that posi- tion in the country which they ought and must occupy. Mr. Alderman Loa' said he could not but look at the course likely to be taken in the present emergency. with singular apprehension ; for though, on looking over the files of the newspapers for the last six months, he found that though Lord Stanley had abstained from alluding to tke state of the harvest, yet the Duke of Rutland (who was one of that class who thought it right to enjoy the revenue from their estates, without reference to the comforts of other classes), stated at an agricultural meeting that the results of the harvest had been satisfactory.—(Hear, hear.) Now he (Mr. Alder man Kay) thought that the Duke must have been sadly misinformed, for in less than a fortnight after that statement was followed by a report stating that the harvest in Ireland was awfully deficient, and that the potato murrain was almost universal.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) He trusted that this memorial, backed by the others which were flowing in from all parts of the country, would have the effect sought, and with that hope he cordially seconded it. After a few words from - Mr. Tomlinson, the motion was agreed to unanimously, and the Council separated. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. A special general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held en Wednesday in the Council-room at the Guild hall, to consider the propriety of addressing her Majesty's Ministers on the subject of the corn. laws. Mr. WILSON, alderman of the borough of Gateshead, and a member of the well-known firm of Losh, Wilson, and Bell, having been called upon to preside, in the absence of the Pre sident of the Chamber, briefly opened the business. Mr. POLLARD, an extensive corn merchant, rose and said, it. was not his intention to offer any remarks upon the sub ject, but simply to propose a memori a l w hi ch he had pre pared, and which he trusted would be adopted by the meet ing. The object of its prayer was, that the ports of the United Kingdom might be o p ene d for the free introduction of foreign corn. The memorial was read by the Secretary as follows To THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT PEEL, HART., ItIRST LORD OF HER 'MAJESTY'S TREASURY. The Memorial of the Chamber of Commerce of Newcastle upon-Tyne, at a special general meeting, convened for that purpose, " Showeth,—That )•our memorialists, believing that the corn harvest in the Luited Kingdom has been defective, and that the potato crop, particularly in Ireland, a failure, hasten to entreat that you will be pleased to advise her Majesty in Council to give an immediate sanction to the admission, duty free, of foreign grain into all the ports of Great Britain and Ireland, as the readiest means that can be adopted for not only preventing the discomfort, but promoti ng the prospe rity, ancrtherel securing the contentment, of the people. " And your memorialists will ever pray, &c." Mr. W. H. nnocxErr, alderman of the bowngh of Gate& ~ head, seconded the adoption of the memorial. -V4. Mr. ARMSTRONG, an extensive corn-merchant, and a mem- •'..:' . 4 ,___ii ber of the Ne wcas tl e T own Council, said if the motion had _ ,P:' 41 been for a petition to Parliament for a revision or molincese ..$ * tion of the existing corn-laws, he should ltAq'. .eansperf; ' ' ready to have given it his support, but it ,' . 4.„,:' , - ' r'": - that not the slightest ground existed for '' :t i tt"..' .;" .e. -. sure which had b een proposed. What ' - . ,-- ~ at ~, :41..' of the country, which must be well know la, T. „ • on; as a corn-mercha n t? H e recollected that ' in the year 1800, in this same month, when there was much less agita tion in the country about the admission of foreign corn than at present, the price of wheat at Lynn, as appeared by an old circular which he held in his hand, was 1365.- • quarter, and rye 80s. a cluarter, or more than double die price it was at present. No alarm existed then in respect to a scarcity of food. In 1812 the average price of the whole year of wheat was 1225., and still there was no alarm about dearth or famine. Why, then, should such apprehen eions be entertained now ? He had stated in the council the ether day, when this subject was under diecussion, that if the duty were taken off, it would be compensated by the additional price that would have to be paid to the foreigner, and since then a circumstance had occurred, which proved beyond all doubt the accuracy of that position. A house in Konigsberg had written to a contractor here, desiring him to sell 100 lasts of wheat. free on board there, at 50s. a quar ter. The house in Konigsberg, hearing of the great pro bability that the duty would be taken off in England, wrote again a few days afterwards, in great haste, expressing their hope the corn had not been sold, and desiring the factor to put 10s. a quarter upon it. This circumstance alone proved that if the duty were taken off, the difference would not go to benefit the consumer in England, but to enrich the foreign merchant. The very agitation of the question was produc tive of a great deal of needless alarm in the country. But it was said the opening of-the ports would be the means of get ting the corn-laws done away entirely. He was against doing them away entirely ; and he thought such a measure would be perfectly ruinous to the agricultural interest of the country. The country had never been without a corn-law of one kind or other, and the great principle sought to be established was, that the duty should vary inversely AS the price of grain, which principle had never been so effectually , carried out as under the existing law. Mr. Armstrong sup ported these views at some length, and concluded by declar ing his intention to oppose the motion. Mr. S LOWERY, an extensive ship owner and timber mer chant, supported the motion, considering that wheat shotild be put upon the same footing as flax, hemp, and other arti cles of importation, and then, when our ships went out to foreign places, they could bring a return cargo of grain, if it suited them, without reference to the duty. ln many parts grain was the only arti c l e th e foreign merchant had to offer, and when the ship was prevented bringing that by the high duty, she had to return empty, which was a serious inconve -1 nience and loss to the shipowner, as well as to the general merchant. The abolition of the corn-laws would place the trade upon a certain footing, now it was entirely of a specu lative character; and what was the cause of the present high prises ? There was plenty of grain in the country, but the holders of it were waiting till the duty got down, as they ex pected it would, to a shilling, when they would bring it into the market in the hope of making more money than they could by selling it at present. He approved of the resolution, and trusted the Chamber would adopt it. Mr. C. RAYste having recently discussed the subject at some length in the Council, did not think it requisite to go into any elaborate details on the present occasion. The early history of the corn-laws, to which reference had been made by Mr. Armstrong, clearly showed that the object the promoters of them had in view was to make the price of corn dear in this country, so as to enhance the value of the land, and hence, at one period, a bounty was paid on exportation, which was subsequently altered, as population and the de mand for food increased, to a duty on importation, the effect of both measures being the same—that of affording protec tion, as it was termed, to native agriculture. The reason of there being but little agitation against the corn-laws at the periods referred to by Mr. Armstrong, was obvious. The price of corn was so high that those laws became inoperative. But when the pivot point was higher than it was at present, the fluctuations were more violent, which showed that the lower the pivot point was fixed, the more regular would the price become, and if the duty were abolished altogether, still greater steadiness would be the result. Mr. Rayne, after illustrating these points, concluded by declaring his determi nation to support the motion. The CHAIRMAN then put the motion to the meeting, when it was carried on x chow of hands, only three being held up against Mr. N. HINDHAUGH, who did not vote on either side, mid he was not a friend to the sliding scale, but be could not join in the propriety of admitting foreign corn free of duty at th• present moment. The memorial was then signed by the Chairman on behalf of the Chamber. A requisition is in course of signature in the borough of Gateshead to the Mayor, requesting him to convene a public meeting of the inhabitants to take the subject into considera tion, with a view to memorializing the Privy Council in fa vour of the opening of the ports. DESTRUCTION of the GLASGOW CITY THEATRE BY FIRE. Late last night, or rather early this morning, the above splendid building, on the Public-green, with all its valuable scenery, internal decorations, and other theatrical appur• tenances, was entirely destroyed by fire, with the exception of the walls, which still remain. The most providential, and, at the same time, satisfactory consideration is, that the fire occurred after the performance of the evening had closed. 'and when the audience had taken their departure to their homes. Some idea, however, may be formed of the nearnesa of the time between the theatre shutting for the night, and the fire taking place, when we state that the gas lamps in front were burning when the flames were first seen issuing from the back part of the building. The tire on the whole was one of the most formidable that has occurred in Glee .gow for many years, and created immense alarm all over 'the city. The internal part of the theatre being constructed, almost entirely of wood and other inflammable mater; g a s , when the whole erection became enveloped, it formed i sight at once fearful and sublime. It commenced precisely about ten minutes past twelve o'clock ; and, although there was $ heavy fall of rain at the time, it had no effeot in dimini s hi ng the awful grandeur of the scene to the beholder. The fire raged, crackled, and burst forth with uncontrollable fury from all parts of the house—at one time sending out myriads of sparks over the east end of the town, and over the adjoin ing Adelphi Theatre—at another lighting up part of tlisi buildings in Hutchison-town, with more than mi.:l-day splendour, and anon sinking into furnace-like quietude, re lieved only by the clank of the fire. engines en(j in pre venting its spreading to the surrounding property. Indeed, the prevention of further damage than the loss of the theatre itself, from the commencement, appeared to be the only judicious course left to the fire brigade, and it was ably fbllowed out by Mr. Robertson, of the Glasgow Police establishment, to whose activity and diligence in pity Zing upon Mr. Miller's Adelphi Theatre may be ascrit e d this preservation of that extensive establishment. Adelphi being composed altogeth er o f wood ; this of p ind blew ol i c y was h the more advisable, as, for th e first elf --hour, th e w the flames from the south in it! direction, and that of the se veral other buildings at the foot of Salt•market•street. The heads of the different fire brigades—including Mr. Robertson of the Glasgow, Captain Richardson of Gorbals, Mr. For syth, and the W es t o f E ngland, were on the spot as quickly as possible after an alarm had been raised, and did their 'best to check the ravages of the burning; but their best intentions were unavailing towards preserving any of the pro perty in or about the City Theatre. We have not heard as to the origin of the fire ; but we are sorry to learn that by the misfortune nearly sixty persons will be deprived of employ ment, and that a large amount of their little property. such as music and dresses, is entirely lost to them. The theatre itself is valued at several thousand pounds, but Mr. Ander son, the proprietor (well known as the "Wizard of the North"), we believe is fully insured in the York, West of England, and Sun fire offices. At the hour we went to press the engines were playing upon the smouldering ruins.— Glasgow Chroniak. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY, 10 O'CLOCK A.M.—Last night ,another fire, making the fourth within the short space of one !calendar month, broke out in this neighbourhood, and I am 'sorry to say under c i rcumstances warranting a strong con viction that incendiarism is extant in this part of the country. During the day heavy rain had fallen, and at night, though `occasionally fair, there was much rain, a circumstance quite :unfavourable for the origination of a fire by a slight incident. !Between 9 and 10 o'clock, a glare of light was seen in the !horizon, for many miles around, in the direction of Beeston, three miles from this town, and very soon afterwards I heard !that a special messenger had arrived on horseback for the engines, in consequence of a large stack-yard situated in the centre of the above village being on fire, and the stacks were burning with unabated fury. Oa riding to the 'spot I found two engi nes f rom Nottingham had ju4 arrived, ,and were in full play, b u t e v id en tl y use l ess as f ar as regar d e d !12 out of 15 large stacks, consisting of wheat, barley, peas, !beans, oats, hay, dills, and straw, which were one entire Mao of fire and flame. Hundreds of people were lending &help ing hand, but difficulty was experienced for want of water., At half-past eight o'clock Mr. Joseph Walker, farmer, of !Beeston, the owner of the stacks, walked by his stack-yard.' land saw all safe; in ten minutes after a neighbour saw' ! flames bursting out of a dill stack, and gave an alarm, but , in less than another quarter of an hour, eight or nine of the stacks were all on fire, owing no doubt to a brisk west. wind blowing at the time directly upon them. Portions of this burning materials flew upon the cottages adjoining, and set the thatch of two of them on fire, threatening deatruction to the houses all around. By prompt measures this evil woe averted; ladders being obtained, and wet blankets spread: upon the burning thatch, on which water was thrown In fare quantities. The removal of a bean stack was 01 ,0 footed, and a large hay and straw stack were saved by 'means of the engines, which, I ought to state, reached Beeston by a quarter past t en o ' c l oc k. The damage i s estimated at upwards of 1,0004, and of that sum only 4001. has been insured in the Guardian-office. A general re port prevailed that this mischief must have been the work of an incendiary, and though I did not venture an opinion re specting the 14 stacks destroyed by fire at Bestwood-park, only thirteen days ago, yet such is the mystery in which that affair is involved, that great fears are now entertained that it also was the diabolical act of sonic incendiary. Mr. Walker occupies a farm in the parish of Beeston, consisting of 2011 acres of land, under Mr. Broughton, near Shiffnall, in Shrop shire, and is a very industrious steady man. There seemed to be a general commiseration with him on his misfortune. He considers from the stateof the weather, and no one having been employed in the stack-yard that evening, that it is im possible the stacks, could have been accidentally set on fire. A very tall person, attired in female dress, was said to have been seen near the place a short time before the flames broke out, and a suspicion arose that it must have been a man in disguise who did the mischief. I made diligent inquiry to ascertain the truth of this statement, but could not trace it to any authentic source.

CONFLICT RETWERIZ SMUGGLERS AND CUSTOM OFFICERS.--A letter from St. Jean de Pied de Porte, of the 7th, says, " On Wednesday last acme goods were sent from the Aldudes in charge of two bands of men, one Spanish, the other French, who marched separately but in concert. pre ceded by four men, who acted as guides, and who had strict orders to abandon the packages if they met any interrup tions on the road. The bands had reached the midst of the great forest which separates the villages of Ei.gei from Elizondo, in the Bastan, and the guides had just crossed a torrent when four Spanish carabineros started from an am bush, and cried Halt!' The smugglers immediately threw down their loads, recrossed the torrent, and scrambled up the steep blnic on the right shore; the donaniers seeing them escaping fired, and one of the guides, a fine young man, only twenty-two, fell dead, a ball having pierced him through the heart. The officers then picked up the packages and were ascending the left bank, to proceed into the interior, when they were surrounded by both bands, who, exasperated by the loss of their comrade, overpowered them, and so cruelly beat them, that it is said three are since dead. The Spanish smugglers were by no means the least enraged against the officers of their own nation." BANKERS. Newcastle-upon-Tyne—Northumberland and Durham District Bank. London—Messrs. Glyn and Co.

This railway is intended, by means of a junction with the Edin burgh and Hawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin burgh and Glasgow. Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight line, in the direction of l'onteland and Belsay, by Lislesburn to Woodburn on the Reed, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel Into Scotland, and so on to Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the• shortest and (except by the very circuitous route of the east coast line), the only railway communication from Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle and Car lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland, by the Midland and shortest route. It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of affording to the proposed line the additional Meility of ship ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Railway Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed pro prietors, as well as of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks in the districts through which the proposed lines will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will be afforded for the transit of lime and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North umberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Lanark ; whilst the transport of live stock from the same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish drovers, will be in immediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length. The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot land, including the towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose, Galashiels, Peebles ,Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity. And the proposed line, proceeding as it does from the extensive coal fields of the south-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through the hitherto unapproachable seams of coal up the course of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant source of revenue from its transit ; as a proof of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Causal, at keavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the cost of transit by the proposed line through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow. An important feature, presented by this undertaking, is the de velopment which will thereby be afforded of extensive beds of minerals in the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of limestone and ironstone, the latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at llareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the proposed line to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditious and economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac tures of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before-mentioned, I intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Europe. . Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the great local and general traffic on the several parts of the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn, always aided by the consideration that the line laid down for this railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles. From these united sources will flowan amount of income that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee are assured by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par liament, for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking. The subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act.
