Ifunable to pay, or not desirous of paying or omitting topay,thePo- Hey would still remain of its FM, value, 522/.25.7d.ti1l death, if 20 years after, no fur ther payment beingre quired. Ifhowever the • party,lrom any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydrsw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but 20 1/.15s Od 2251. 5221.257 d 2871, 2s. 9d. a certain bonus of 621. 2s. Ott. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501., diminishing the Polley only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted by the , English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive feattires as low nreminrn. and professedly for the lower and midding classes. The rates here selected are those adopted by the-English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive featares as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midding classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the - Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101.75. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter 8/. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Morey laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every fear teea years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person tinder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a le-s sum, paid annually, he can assure It larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender MA Pelley he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, TattES times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though be cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thlv. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw env part from 11 up to the Whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year lie can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards raise his policy to a greater or even Is former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his anrual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain o !having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than MI amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices Le can do no each thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment be ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to Sy to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his More fortunate co-assurers. • Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and Deposit assurance is the oaly system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It Milers greater advantages than a b Ink because it allows a fair rate Of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in saselof death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. 41)VANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH. To those who prefer this branch Policies are granted from 201. to . . 000 1. on every known principle thereof. _ Lives in all but the worst stages of disease, and such as have been reiected by other Offices, are taken at rates equivalent to the parti cular disease. _ Loans from 501. and upwards granted on every kind of sec ur ity, real . or Personal, on the most equitable terms to the borrower ~...nnaities of every description granted on very favourable terms. zTon-forfeiture of a Foley —ln case of inability to pay the currant Premiums, the Directors will eitner purchase the Policy at a fair market value, or give a new one in lieu thereof, less 5 per cent., into eat correspondi ng in amount to the whole of the previous payments Whi ch have been made.

After having tried several remedies, and finding little or no relief, I determined to try a small box of your Dr. Locock's Pul monic Waters, and to my surprise, in less than two days I found my self perfectly restored ; and it is with deep-felt gratitude I return my sincere thanks to you and Providence that I am by means of your invaluable medicine thus perfectly restored.

In no article, perhaps, is caution more necessary than in the purchase of a Dressing-case, for in none are the meretricious arts of the unprincipled manufacturer more frequently displayed. MECIIJ, 4, Leadenhall-street, near Gracechurch-street, has long enjoyed tile reputation of producing a Dressing-case in the most finished and faultless manner. Those who purchase one of him will be sure of having thoroughly seasoned and well prepared wood or leather, with the fittings of first•rate quality. The prices range from 11. to 1001. Thus the man of fortune and he of moderate means may alike be suited, while the traveller will find the Mechlan Dressing•caso espe cially adapted to his necessities.-4, Leadenhall-street.

Tire essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man _ __ _ hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both In this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under th. , personal supervision ~ f Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the sew 1 !gaily qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite In the treatment of these cases.

A LWAYS PLEASING because EVER NEW. ..CM_To every observer of E. MOSES and SON'S scale of of business ia London and the Country, it is plain that a New Stock may he produced every day. To so-re this might seem like exaggeration ; by others it might he regarded as a commercial embellishment; but E. MOSES and SON never employ fictitious allusions, for they are always prepared to prove every statement they make by the articles tkey present. The artistes in their employ are each in his depart inert fully acquainted with every British introduction, and, aided by torelen communications on every change of style, thus are they daily producing novelties adapted to the season—such as insure grace and comfort, are there new styles of Overcoats, a , d number less garments to wear as Coats or Overcoat as ma , - be desired — the are articles the design and style of which are exclusively theirs. A cursory inspection wal afford the highest gratification; and the neatness, comfort, and se- vice secured by these ingenious contrivances will prove more than ever satisfactory ; but the prices of every description of Dress, Hosiery, Furl, &c., &c., &c., in conse quence of ye y auspicious arrangements, and charged so low that imitation is an entire impossibility. Sporting. Dress, and Juvenile Attire, either ready made or to measure, excels any which can be had eisewhere, and is charged considerably less prices. EMIGRATION. There are many reasons why Emigration will become therms- ingly popular, and why all who intend to make Australia their fu ture residence, should immediately arrange for the se'ection of their Outfits, this being indispensable business for all Emigrants ; and if transacted at E. MOSES and SON'S, is the highest advantage to every class of Emigrants, male or female—all the goods being ex pressly prepared for their use on their voyage and after their arrival and being such only as are absolutely required, prove a great saving of time and money to thowands anticipating a voyage to " The Land of Health and Wealth." E. MOSES and SON keep a separate Department for Outfitting, but it communicates wj.th their immense Wholesale Store, and the several sections of their Massive Establish ment, comprising Clothing, Hosiery, Boot and Shoe Making, flatting, and other branches of tusiness, where snperior quality and low charges give Emigrants advantages to be found at no other House in the universe. Ship-sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on application, or post-ft ee to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of "Being einnected with heft Establishment," or " it's the same concern," has been resorted to in ►nany instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minorles, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating. London West-end Branch, 506, 507, 508, New Oxford-street, 1,2, d 3, B art -st reet, all communicating. Bradford (Yorkrhire) Branch, 19, Bridge-street. Sheffield Branch, 36, Far. te. Merchant Tailors, Clothiers, Hatters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoe Makers, and General Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen. IMPORTANT —Should any article not give satisfaction, it will be exchanged if desired, or, if preferred, the money will be returned without hesitation. All goods are marked in plain figures, the lowest price, from which no abatement can he made. The Establishments are closed liom sunset Friday to sunset on Saturdays, when business is resumed till 12 o'clock. A new Book, entitled " The World's Pharos," containing the Emigrant's kssistan., full list of prices, and directions for self mea surement, may be had on application, or post-free, to any part of the kingdom.

TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. ' • .t•; (From the Morning t Herald.) Three long letters have been pfiblished this week in the columns of a morning , , contemporary. We have already alluded to them. Paragraph after paragraph—column after column of the smallest type—facts, figures, metaphors, fallacies, and gar bled quotations, we have been compelled to peruse ; at one time thinking of the writer, ." nano morta hium omnibus horis sapit," at thiother expecting to find that " Smith," " Jones," of some other name familiar to " the ignorance of the public" was in dulging in the fashionable pastime of writing letters to the Times, when at last the mystery was ex plained by the appearance of " Your obedient ser vant, Richard Cobden." The name was known to us a* being the identical Christian and the same surname that is reported in " Hansard" to have made some very foolish remarks with respect to " our national defences" and the future prospects of Europe in the beginning of 1848. The foresight of these was immediately proved by divers revolutions, which, immediately after their utterance, took place in frost of the capitals of Europe. The scenes of bloodshed and war that followed dispelled the notion of the wis dom of the man who anticipated at that time that the era of universal peace had all at once-arrived. Our own capital was happily antexpeption, thanks to the precautions taken by that illustrious man, so lately removed from the scene of his patriotic exer tions, on the ever-memorable 19th of April. Me mory supplying these facts, fancy Our astonishment at meeting with the followinc , critical observations on the mental capacity of the 6 Duke of Wellington. : on that occasion. From no othv 'Source Could the same have been anticipated (alviAys excepting ;the 22 inis:•(...alled Liberal members orthe University of Oxford who voted against the Wellington Testimo- , nial Fund last week) :—" An allusion to the infir mities of a .great mind, however painful at the pre sent moment, is rendered absolutely necessary by those who quote the authority of the Duke of Wel lington's declining years in favour of a policy which, in my opinion, tends neither to the peace nor the prosperity of the country. At the time of penningliis letter to General Burgoyne the Duke was verging upon his eightieth year. Nowi no man retains all his faculties unimpaired to fourscore. Na ture does not suspend her labours even in be half of her favourite sons. The Duke was mor tal, and therefore subject to that merciful law which draws a veil over our reason and dims the mental vision as we approach the end of the vista which terminates with the tomb. Nit the facul ties do not all pay this debt of nature at once, or in equal proportion. Sometimes the strongest part of our nature, which may have been subjected to the greatest strain, declines the first. In the Duke's case, his nervous system, his ' iron' charac teristic, gave way. He who at 40 was incapable of fear, at 80 was subject to almost ?nfantine alarms. This was shown on several public:occasions ; but on none so strongly as in the provi on made by hi m during the ye ar 1848," t o w hi c h r. Cobden's t re marks here apply, n o t the year f the Exhibiti on , which he pro cee d s a ft erwar d s tocomment upon. On this subject o f defences, t en, " Richard i s himself again !" No !no! we a wrong. L e t us use his own language, as applied himself. " The faculties do not all pay the debt of nature at once, or in equal proportions. Sometimes the strongest part of our nature, which 'may have been subje c t e d to the greatest train, declines the first." In Richard Cobden's case, his reasoning powers, hi s aptness in dealing with facts and figures, and his common-sense, left him first. He began as,a suc cessful agitator of class interests—was known as the leader of a political school whose motto was " Sell and Co."—and ended in penning romantic letters on the national defences. This infantine tendency : was shown on several public ocaasions ; on none ~ more so than in three letters he wrote to the Rev. —, and published in the Times news paper. But to go on. Persons in this state of ' mind (pace Dr. Conolly, we would so affirm) are subject to extraordinary delusions on particular questions. What, then, is it haunts- Mr. Cobden's mental vision ? We use his own words :—" Are there no symptour that we have . spirits amongst us who want note the will, if the power and occasion be afforded, to play the part of Burke in our day. He excited the indignation of his countrymen against a republic which had decapitated a king." If this wat . t.2a,n unworthy subject for the declamation of then, philosopher and statesman, against whom iiii4 "what would. Richard Cobden direct the thunders of his " un adorned eloquence." On this point he is frank and explicit : indeed, all our statesmen are more or less so in these times except Mr. Gladstone. Wo therefore use his own words :---" When told that the present Emperor possesses absolute and irresponsible power, I answer by citing three things which he could not, if lie would, accomplish : he could not endow with lands and tithes one religion as the exclusively paid religion of the State, although he selected for the privilege the Roman Catholic Church,_which comprises more than nine tenths of the French people ; he could not create an hereditary peerage with estates entailed by a law of primogeniture ; and he could not impose a tax on successions, which should apply to personal property only, and leave real estate free. Public opinion in France is an insuperable obstacle to any of these measures becoming law, because they out rage that spirit of equality which is the sacred and inviolable principle of 1789. Now, if Louis Napo leon were to declare his determination to carry these three measures, which are all in full force in England, as a part of his Imperial regime, his throne would not be worth 24 hours' purchase ; and nobody knowS this better than he and they who surround him. The three eye-sores, then, in the British consti tution, which nothing but th e " i gnorance o f th e public" suffers to remain, are—first; a Protestant Establishment for religion—hence his remarks on • • Burke—hence his fear that th ere b e some sp i r it s left who would re-echo the senti ments o f th e grea t hilo e w h h er enhe cherish sa a id l " i ll) Establishedw o u s ol would , Church great and po wer f u l. hv e have those wish to see t within, and• pi he t y all those who are without. I - would have her give a lesson of peace to mankind, that a vexed and wan dering generation might be taught to seek for re pose in the maternal bosom of Christian charity, lastly, that the laws of England are and not in the harlot-lap of infidelity and indiffer ence." Secondly, that there is no legacy duty on principles of 17890—viz., real property r w o rt e h rt r y es ; pect to property, that "an English man may do what he likes with his own." For this last grievanceerhtye substitutew by ou t l h d estate; o :: t t o he u sa se cr h e i d s feudalism," the con and to* establish religious equality and freedom of worship, by uprootap afionwscdnatiwniovio!rodolsaf,bpl,ertpporinei propriating to the State the lands and tithes of the Church." These were the main principles of reform carried out by the Constituent Assembly, and which Mr. Cobden would imitate. But, in justice to his friends, Mr. Cobden adds that .i' the decapitation of a king" was not included in the original pro gramme for the entertainment of the Constituent Assembly. " Let us repeat, then —if for the dozenth time—such opinions would never be put forth unless by a writer who presunled most insult ingly on the ignorance of the public." q uestion sun wh d e a t y h e er wa t h e e ra C ie r e y d s , ta u l p P on al t a b ce e (From, the Morning P ost.) ened on simple issue whether a day of i n t e ll ectual refine ehWoulhden be th opened refine ment at Sydenham were not preferable to a day of sotting and idleness in London, we gave our voice in favour of the trip to Sydenham. We went even further. We took occasion to maintain what we conceived to be entirely a working man's cause, against the deliberately expressed opinions of a very respectable body of clergymen, who met at Zion College to resist the proposed ope n i ng ,.. , on the ground that it was a desecration of the Sabbath. Our dissent from these reverend gentlemen was not based on any inferior view of the Sabbath to their own. But we felt-1. That, with the religious ob servance of Sunday, a certain amount of intellec tual pleasure may be innocently combined. ; 2. That, as a working man's question, it was highly desir able to consider it in the broadest possible view ; and, 3. That, remembering how sadly the working classes of London are accustomed to spend that holy day, the attractions of the Sydenham Palace might pave the way to something l ess coarse, if not more religious, less demoralising, if not actually edifying, and, on the whole, less mischievous, both morally and physically. The decision appears to us to turn upon the right determination of two guestionl—which is the Lora -day.? and how ought it to be observed ? On the first, w e did not presume that any discus sion would be raised. We were content to accept the unanimous voice of Christendom and to acqui esce in the settlement upon which a ll Ch r i s ti an Churches have framed their religious observances. About the second there has bee n , and is, much c o n t r oversy. Two opposite theories aro p u t forth : ' the first makes the observance of the Christian Sun- 222 13,876 7,900 1,241 22,613 21,513 12,350 6,64 K 2,8'/6 3,461 day equally strict and obligatory with that of the Jewish Sabbath, and applies to the former all the Scriptures of the Old Testament which have express reference to the latter. This was the view brought in and adopted by the old Puritans immediately after the Reformation. The second theory is that which makes the day a Christian .feast, to be ob served with holy exercises, rational amusement, and moral improvement. It was this last which was adopted by us in as serting that the Crystal Palace might be opened on Sundays, within certain restrictions, without peril to the interests of religion, or the well-being of tho community—in fact, without sin against God, or injury to man ; and this view we are prepared to maintain. But. we are not prepared to aid and abet the theo• ries put forth at the meeting of working men at St. Martin's Hall, on Wednesday night, and which we reported yesterday. We are ready t• aid their cause by proving that intellectual amusement on Sunday is quite compatible with the sacred duties of that day. But we are not disposed to aid them in as serting that the same sacred duties are not obliga tory upon them. It is one thing to say that because they are tied down to work all the week, therefore,. they may take harmless recreation on Sunday; but quite another to propound, that, because the week is all work, therefore Sunday is to be all play. It is reasonable to maintain that Almighty God does not enjoin a burdensome observance of the Chris tian Sunday; but it is profane to affirm that he en joins no observance at all. The cause which the working men assembled to promote was good so long as it was confined to the simple object of securing the ad - Vantage of admission to the Crystal Palace on Sundays. "The sympathies of many religious persons went with them, and they were - sure of strong support in many high quarters. One only fear there was, which some persons warmly expressed, that the tendency would be to a disavowal of the sanctity of the dajr altogether, and an ap proximation to the lax practices which prevail all over the Continent ; in which case, • many who strongly sympathise with the working men of Lon don would feel compelled to withhold their support from the movement. Unfortunately for themselves, the working men have allowed themselves to be lured into this mis take. ~The show of learning which garnished the speech of Mr. Henry Mayhew, on Wednesday, was well calculated to mislead the unwary and un instructed. What could the working men say in answer to learned references to ancient writers and primitive fathers, told glibly out, and set forth in imposing array ? When Pliny, and Justin Martyr, and Socrates, and Gregory Nyssen, and Constan tine, and Cranmer, and Melancthon, and Calvin, and Bound, and Paley, are heaped up in the face of astonished butchers and bakers, what could they, however generally intelligent, but submit with a good grace to such ponderous testimony ? The answer to his mischievous argument rests with those who have bad greater leisure and advantages; nor shall it be our fault if the working men of London do not see the other side of the question. Meanwhile, we earnestly intreat of them, as they value their stake in this great movement, at once to repudiate and disavow that unsound, flagrant, and mischievous declaration, into the passing of which they allowed themselves to be entrapped on Wednesday night. In no. country in the world have the working classes such friends as the work ing classes of this country have amongst those whom Providence has called to an easier lot. To the cause of the working man, not the aristocracy only, but all the best of the great middle class of the country, are prepared to give the ablest suc cour. Their dwellings, their literature, their edu cational institutions, their parochial privileges, their physical and intellectual necessities, their political rights, and social and moral advancement, are ob jects of solicitude to those able and willings to help them. As a step towards these objects, a powerful interest was at work to secure for the working men an • occasional Sunday at Sydenham. But, un doubtedly, the hypothesis on which they acted was, not that the Lord's-day was a mere human institu tion ; not that its solemnities might be put aside for mere intellectual substitutes ; not that there was no obligation on the conscience of Christian men to keep it holy ; but that there was no neces sary violation of its sanctity in a quiet visit to the Crystal Palace ; that such a visit was quite compa tible with the fulfilment of religious duties ; that some recreation working men must have ; that they could have it on no. other day ; and that, in default of bettor, they were in a measure forced to take up with such as London streets afford, and which are amongst the worst that could be set before them. On this broad, benevolent, and Christian view, a large body are prepared to support the cause, and ourselves amongst the number ; but we disavow cx animo the heathenish terms of tho declaration passed the other evening, and we ask the working men, for their own sake and the - truth's sake, to disavow it, too. They must otherwise be prepared to lose the strong support they have hitherto received in this object from so many quarters; for, assuredly, a vast majority will consider as we do, that it were far better the Crystal Palace be closed every Sun day in the year than opened but once on such prin ciples. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We are glad to observe that public attention is being directed, in the various metropolitan parishes, to the Bishop of London's bill, taken into Parlia ment by the Bishop of Salisbury, for the purpose of making churchwardens the mere nominees of the clergy, . and rendering the vestry meetings throughout the country entirely subservient to the clerical will. As it is certain that the Bishop of London will—if he can—force this measure through the Home of Lords during the approaching session, it is incumbent on all who value their parochial freedom, and are not disposed to place increased power in the hands of the bishops and the clergy, to employ their most active efforts to agitate this question throughout the length and breadth of the land, and convince " Charles James" and his order that their attempt is thoroughly understood, and that the people of England are not in a humour for any further concesions. The inhabitants of St. Pancras have just held their meeting, with the object of opposing the further introduction of this rapacious measure into Parliament, and their proceedings have been con ducted with a degree of intelligence and energetic determination which, if imitated in every parish in the land, or throughout London, and all our large towns, would convince his Lordship of London that he has ",taken nothing by his motion." St. Pancras, indeed, has reasons of its own to be vigilant in reference to this new movement, having suffered so severely in consequence of being under the control of a self-elected and irresponsible body. The Church Trustees, to whom we refer, it appears from the statement of a churchwarden of St. Pancras, Mr. Billet have, during the 33 years of their existence evjended 200,0001. of the parish money. We believe few parishes have had more reason to complain of the manner in which they have been mulcted for the support of the church, and particularly for the erection of the elegant pa rish church in the New-road, which, while it is a monument of classic taste, is to many of the rate payers a constant memorial of heavy taxation, to which they have been compelled to submit. It should be understood that the bill of the Bishop of London, if it should become law, will put it out of the power of the parishioners to prevent them selves from being taxed to any extent that may comport with the liberal ideas of the episcopal lord. He is well known to have a large heart wherever he can find a large purse to correspond with its dili tations. Liberal to his own family in the me of his patronage, he delights also in the increase of his power to give good incumbencies to his High Church proteges, and if this business of the church wardens can only be managed, his noble soul will be rejoiced in the certain increase of churches, and the power of giving them away to the large crowd of relatives and expectants, who are naturally look ing to him for something good, before his day is gone by. The churchwardens, it should be recollected, are the only barrier to the re-imposition of church rates, to any required amount, and, as was observed at the St. Pancras meeting, if the right of electing the churchwardens is to be taken from the people, that parish will not be long without a perp3tual church rate. This is just the time for the expression of public opinion on the attempt to annihilate the power of the churchwardens. Itis said that the Bishop of London has bad the modest assurance to ask for the opi nion of the various parishes on his measure. We could scarcely have believed that his Lordship would have had the temerity to make such a re quest ; some men, however, are so blinded by am bition, and so courageous from success, that there is scarcely anything they will not attempt, and hope to succeed in. However, as his Lordship has the boldness to ask for public opinion on his new hobby, let him have it by all means and from all quarters. Let the Bishop of London be told from every parish in England that the parishioners have duly considered his new measure, and do not like it— that they have not become so blinded of late as to be incapable of penetrating into the mysteries of his scheme, and discovering in it an attempt to rob them of their birthright as Englishmen ; that so far are they from desiring to increase the power of his Lordship, and his order, and the clergy, that they are wishing that power to 'be considerably curtailed, and, as a political element, annihilated altogether ; and that they will employ all their energy to defeat the new attempt to rob them of the portiOn of power they still enjoy. It should be remembered, as was observed by Lord Dudley Stuart at the St. Pancras meeting, that this question affects every parish in England; it is not whether Tory or Liberal shall rule, it is a question upon which every one who maintains the principles of local self-government can have but oue opinion. We hope, as the time is rapidly ap proaching in which the Bi s h o p o f L on d on w ill t ry again, that no time will be lost in giving free and hearty expression of opinion on this subject every where, and that his Lordship will have no excuse for saying he called for the expression of opinion from every parish, that few have spoken against the measure, and that, in the ease of the large ma jority, it may be taken for'granted that silence has given consent. SOCIAL EQUALITY-MR. COBDEN AND MR. BRIGHT. (Front the Morning Herald.) With the exception of two gentlemen, born, bred, and thriving at Manchester, all men, in all ages, have admitted that ineqUiEty_is the first law of nature. They have admitted not only that there is a social inequality, but that there must be, as an inference, a political inequality; and, if even the researches of those philosophers and moralists had failed to convince us of the existence of such an irrefragable and universal law, the analogy of na ture, animate and inanimate, would set the point at rest. Are Mr. Bright and Mr. Cobden alike in station ? Are Lord Derby and Mr. Cuffey co-equal in intelligence? Can the sun, the moon, the comets, and the planets, composing our system, bear any comparison to each other in size, in the rapidity of their motions, in the destination of their celestial course, or in the distribution of their particular and internal elements Is not the parable of the sower an emblem of life ? Is it not the exposition of the fate of man, and a proclamation by the mouth of the Saviour himself that poverty, whether of the body, the purse, or the soil, is alone able to equalise ? _ _ _ To this day, among shepherd nations—among the tribes of Wandering Arabs, a general poverty main tains a general equality, because the distribution of wealth is poised as in a balance ; but old age and high qualities of the mind or great beauty of person put forth claims to distinction and to inequality. In our own colonies—in the West Indies, where the son of Africa walks unshackled, where the light of liberty streams, like a beacon, from headland to headland, almost from the very shores hemming the Gulf of Mexico to the insular cases of the Caribbean Sea—even there, unbending inequality exists between the white people and the black. Take America, too=-for it is out of that soil Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright have dug the fanciful root of their political and social equality—will they have the effrontery to say that the wealthy merchant of New York considers himself on an equality with the street-sweeper. Would he give his daughter in marriage to a common labourer ? It is very true that these questions direct them selves to social equality ; but what reasonable, patriotic man would lend himself to the propagation of the perfect equality of political rights ? By such a regulation—by the adjustment of an exact poli tical equipoise —our old friend Mr. Cuffey, or his co-labourer, Mr. Bright, would naturally wish to rule. Why should Cuffey be subservient to Card well, or John Bright to John Russell ? Cuffey sounds as well any day as Cardwell ; and Bright is quite as liquid as Russell. This refusal to obey would terminate all government, and if there bean end to government, what is the inevitable result ? Either intestine war or a disruption of the whole social fabric. Anon, despotism steps in to give anarchy to death, and, after committing the deed of strangulation, stabbing, or hanging, rises, exultant ; then shows, grasped in its gory hands, the most fearful and uncompromising of inequalities —the unconditional power of one. Mr. Cobden asserts that social equality appears in its purest form throughout France, and he offers very large odds that if the present Emperor of that country were to organise an hereditary and aristo cratic Legislature, his throne would not be worth 24 hours' purchase. Perhaps so • but what has the abolition, in the first instance, o f the aristocracy and of the Chamber of Peers done for France ? In all probability, what Mr. Cobden does not desire to see the annihilation of the House of Peers do for England. Why, it has brought to our neigh bours revolutions, which, like the alternation of day and night, have come periodically to sweep away thrones, and to make continuous changes which we trust have ceased. All men have a right to the enjoyment of their opinion, but they have not a right to the enjoyment of an opinion which is built on false premises, and is shown to be prejudicial to the structure of the society in which they are permitted to breathe and move. It is to be reprehended, therefore, that two men like Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright—endowed undoubtedly with some capacity of mind, and pos sessing, above all, that flow of language and plausi bility of manner, which, aided by the prestige of their popular origin, force assumptions as facts on the acceptance of unthinking crowds—should per vert gifts so full of good to uses so pregnant with evil. It is to be reprehended that two such men, holding in their hands the individual confidence of a vast section of their poorer and less educated countrymen, should ply tongue and pen to obscure and mislead ; that they should take advantage of the untutored perceptions of Manchester weavers and Yorkshire Chartists, and invite their execra tion of those institutions which have sprung from the experience and deep meditation of the wisest of our forefathers, and which the finger of time itself, the leveller of all anomalies, has left com paratively untouched. THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE AND HIS TENANTRY. (From the Derby Reporter.) It was our privilege to participate in the enjoyment of a very gratifying scene at the ducal Palace of the Peak on Monday last. The occasion was the meeting of the Duke of Devonshire and a deputation of tenants ; and a more delightful meeting, or one better calculated to render pleasant recollections fixed and enduring, never we will venture to say occurred between the owner of a princely domain and a body of respectable tenantry. A. strong desire has long been felt by the numerous tenantry of the noble duke to offer some becoming mani festation of the high regard and esteem in which his grace is held as a landlord, and of their appreciation of his many excellent qualities of head and heart, and the kind interest he takes in the welfare of all who come within the circle of his acquaintance. With the view of giving practical effect to this prevalent desire, a preliminary meeting of tenant fermers from each township in the county where his Grace's property extends was con vened on the 25th of January, at the house of Mr. Jepson, of Edensor. The gentlemen present were : William Adsetts, Shottle ; George Beardmore, Peak Forest ; George Bowmer, Shottle ; Selim Bright, Bux ton ; John Bromley, Derby ; William Booth, Pentrich ; John Blackwall Cantrell, VTetton; Lawrence Furness, Birchill Farm; Peter Furness, jun., Pilsley ; Charles Greaves, Rowley ; John Green, Ashford ; Rowland Hea cock, Marston-on-Dove ; William Jepson, Edensor ; John J. Mower, Miller's Dale ; G. H. Osborn, Dore ; Charles H. Robinson, Ashopton Inn; John Jepson Rowley, Haw thorne ; and William Sampson, Church Broughton. At this meeting it was unanimously agreed to present to the noble Duke a full length portrait of himself, executed in the first style of.art—if such a manifestation of their sen timents were acceptable to his Grace—and to obtain permission to have the portrait afterwards reduced into an engraving, in order that his Garce's tenantry m a y have in their possession the likeness of a nobleman, whose conduct, as a landlord, they appreciate, whose benefiecence they admire, and for whom personally, they entertain feelings of affectionate regard. A committee, consisting of gentlemen from each dis trict, wa s formed for the purpose of t a ki ng th e tiatory steps in this, to them, most agreeable pro ceeding. They are as follows : —M r . J ohn Bromley, Derby, Chairman ; Mr. Bright, Buxton, Deputy Chairman ; Mr. Law ence Furrus, Birch-hill Farm Se cretary ; William Adsetts, Shottle ; George Beardmore, Peak Forest; John Blackwall Cantrell, Wetton ; Wm. Booth, Pentrich ; Henry Bowmer, One Ash Grange ; George Bowmer, Shottle. ; Peter Fidler, Biggin Grange; Peter Furness, Pilsley; Charles Greaves, Rowley; Thos, Gregory, Meadow-place ; John Green, Ashford ; John Thomas Heywood, Staveley ; W. Jepson, Edensor ; Rowland Heacock, Marston-on-Dove ; John J. Mower, Miller's Dale ; G. W. Osborn, Dore • Charles H. Robin son, Ashopto n I nn ; J o h n Jepson Rowley, Rowthorne ; and William Sampson, Church Broughton. The Secretary was requested to forward to the noble Duke a copy of the resolution , adopted, informing his Grace " that a number of his tenantry met at Edensor Inn, by appointment, with a view to obtain the permis sion of his Grace to sit for his portrait, to be subscribed for by his numerous tenantry. And if hie Grace would : 4-4,•-frie, kindly consent, then a committee would be formed, who would beg to have the honour of an interview with his Grace, to consult him as to the best and most agreeable mode of carrying the proposed object into effect. " To this communication his Grace returned an answer, couched in language which every one must admire and approve. We are happy to be privileged to place this document before our readers and the public : " Chatsworth, 26th January, 1853. " Sir,—l hasten to acknowledge the letter I have to day received, from you, and to convey the sentiments I entertain in my reply to the gentlemen, who, with your self have signed the resolution agreed to at a meeting held at Edensor yesterday. "Believe me, that very few events of my life have given me so much satisfaction as this proof of good-will and kindness from persons for whom I entertain the sin cerest respect, and whose character and conduct have made me take pride in the connection that subsists between us ; and on Monday, the 31st instant I shall be 'truly happy to receive them here at whatever time may be convenient to them. "But, sir, I wish this visit to be made for the purpose of enabling these kind friends to consider well this matter before coming to a conclusion upon it ; for it is with no assumed spirit of humility that I say, that though yield ing to no man alive in devotion to the interests of Ins tenantry, and in cordial wishes for their prosperity, I do not feel that I deserve this tribute. I have not made. myself sufficiently or personally enough acquainted and practically useful to those who are so good as to over look my. faults of omission ; and the declining state of my health makes me ever year less capable of attending, to their interests and occupations. " When a man h as a tt ane d the patriarchal age or my • relation the Duke of Portland, honoured and respected in his career, there could be no hesitation in conferring such distinction ; but had not my friends better reflect again, and on the 31st be more prepared to entertain my' views on an occasion which, in whatever way it may be. decided, cannot fail to have been in its contemplation and general intentions a source of unalterable gratitude to me. —Believe me, sir, your humble, faithful servant, "DEVONSHIRE. "Mr. Lawrence Furniss." In accordance with a previous arrangement, the com mittee, with one or two unavoidable exceptions, re-as sembled at. Mr. Jepson's on Monday last, and at one o'clock proceeded in a body to Chatsworth House, where a kind and most gracious reception awaited them. The deputation were met at the principal entrance by Sir Joseph Paxton, who conducted them to the grand: library, where his grace immediately joined them. -'The noble duke gave a-frank and cordial reception to all : present, conversing with them individually on various topics, and making many kind inquiries. The pleasant greeting over, his grace said—l believe , gentlemen, you have all seen a letter I addre sse d t o fi. - Lawrence Furniss. Every word in that letter came straight from my heart. I adhere to the sentiments I there ex pressed ;my opinion remains unaltered. I have ar feeling ofgreat dislike to cause you gentlemen, by accepting your. proffered kindness, so much trouble and so much ex pense ; and happy as I should be under all other consi derations, to receive the proposed manifestation of esteem and good-will, I must now ask you to reconsider the matter calmly, and will leave you a few minutes for that purpose. In your decision, whatever that may be, I shall most cheerfully acquiesce. The considerate motives that prompted these remarks, and the delicacy with which they were expressed, cannot be too highly appreciated ; and they were received as they were meant, by the deputation. On the noble duke's return, Mr.• John Bromley, the ch a ir man o f th e committee, informed his grace that they were greatly obliged to him for the course he had pursued, but that their minds were already made up on the subject, and they hoped to have a consummation of their wishes. His Grace having bowed his acknowledgMents, Mr. BROMLEY said : "My Lord Duke—l have the honour to appear before your grace on the present occasion in the capacity of chairman of a committee of your grace's numerous ten antry, of which I have the privilege of being one. Oa behalf of myself and colleag ues, I beg to tender to your grace our sincere thank s for the distinguished honour you have done us in condescending to accept a portrait of yourself, as a small and very inadequate testimony of the high regard and esteem in which your grace is held by us as a landlord. " Allow me to state to your grace that our great desire is to obtain a full length portrait executed in the first style of art, so that it may be worthy to adorn the walls of Chatsworth House-; and your grace will confer an additional obligation by selecting the artist to perform the work, and by making known to us the most agree able mode to yourself of carrying out this, to us, most pleasing object. " Inconclusion, I have only respectfully to request that your grace will permit an engraving to be taken from the portrait, so that each of us may possess a like ness of a nobleman who will ever live in the hearts his tenantry, and in the recollection of every well-wis of his country." The Noble DUKE, who spoke with much feeling, then said, that the terms in which he had been addressed were too kind, too flattering, and he could only hope that he was deserving of them. He accepted this kind expres sion of their feelings with' heartfelt thanks, and so long as he lived it would be treasured in his memory. His grace then intimated that as Sir Edwin Landseer was unrivalled, he thought he could not make a better sug gestion than to name him. Sir. Edwin would be enabled to introduce into the picture some portion of that Peak scenery which was dear to his grace, as he had no doubt it was. to those by whom be was then surrounded ; but in the event of its not being in Sir Edwin Landsec r'a - power to 'devote the necessary time to -the work, lnr grace stated he would ask him to recommend some artist in whose qualifications he had confidence. As regards the engraving (added his grace), I can only say I shall be too much honoured. The noble duke accompanied the deputation through the grand suit of apartments, and then invited them to a most recherché entertainment; his grace taking the head of the table, and Sir Joseph Paxton the opposite ond. Before adjourning to the pleasure-grounds and conser vatory, Mr. John Bromley said as this was a special oc casion when they were partaking of the splendid hospi tality of their noble landlord, he trusted they might give c.fl'ect to their feelings, in accordance with - the old Eng lish custom, by drinking the health of one whom they revered, and who had ever manifested a lively disposi tion to promote the happiness and well-being of his tenantry. The noble duke's health was then drank with three times three hearty English hurras, with "another," "another " and " one cheer more." His grace betrayed much feeling, and acknowledged this cordial recogniti tion in a graceful speech, referring to the events of the morning which, he said, called forth most pleasing asso ciatiBns in his mind; and he stated that the proceedings of that day constituted it " one of the happiest of his life." The noble duke subsequently alluded to Sir J. Paxton, whose health he wished them to drink on this auspicious occasion with three hearty cheers. For what ever of beauty (said his grace) you may see in the grounds of Chatsworth, lam indebted to the taste, the ability and the energy of Sir Joseph Paxton." The toast hav ing been honoured, Sir Joseph said that but for the taste and munificence of his grace, it would have been impos sible to accomplish what he had done; for he had always found in the noble duke a princely patron, and a gener kind-hearted friend. The deputation then proceeded to the conservatory and perambulated the grounds, accompanied by the noble duke and Sir Joseph Paxton. The fountains, in cluding the giant " Emperor," were all in full play ; and the scene was in every respect charming. After par taking further of his grace's hospitality, the deputation bade a kindly farewell to the duke, who expressed the pleasure he had experienced in their aeciety. The noble duke, whose urbanity and kindness was most marked throughout, was evidently delighted ; but not more so than his visitors, who will ever cherish the re collection of their reception at Chatsworth House, and the flow of kindly feeling reciprocated between landlord and tenant. CRUEL CASE OF RAPE.—A case of rape of a very ag gravated and cruel character has just been brought under the attention of the Bath magistrates, the sufferer being an orphan girl only 16 years of age, named Mercy Brimble. The prisoner was an elderly married man named George Nutt, and is a greengrocer, living in a house in a garden near the top of Great Bedford-streets Bath. He is a very zealous advocate of the Thomp°, sonian herbal system. It appears that the poor girl Brimble entered his service about eight months since. On the 21st of January the girl had a severe toothache, and her mistress advised her to go to bed, and told her Viet when her master came home he should apply some thing to it. The prisoner in the evening went to the girl, who was in bed, and rubbed some liniment into her face. He then began to take indecent liberties with her, by putting his hand under the bedclothes, upon which she called out. The prisoner then got upon the bed, and, having placed bis hand over her mouth, effected his purpose, and, as the medical evidence proved, com mitted a capital offence. The girl said she would tell her uncle, when Nutt said if she did he would turn her out or kill her, and told her if her mistress asked her what she had cried out about, to say that it was because her tooth pained her. The girl did not tell her mistress, because she was afraid of the prisoner, but the first time she was able to leave the house alone, which was on Sunday last, she went to her cousin, and told her of the prisoner's conduct, and the matter having come to the knowledge of the magistrates, the prisoner was appre hended. The facts above stated having been deposed to in evidence, the prisoner was fully committed to take his trial for the offence at the next Somersetshire assizes, and application for bail was refused. THE BEAUCHAMP TOWER RESTORATION.—It Was with no small pleasure that we learned that the Beauchamp Tower was in course of restoration under the direction of Mr. Salvin, who, we hope, will do his best to restore the whole building, interior and exterior, to its proper appearance. This is a movement in the right direction ; and we trust that the same good taste which directed this will cause the immediate removal of the covering of Traitors' Gate ; and that when the national records are removed to their new house, the beautiful and compara tively perfect portions of the interior of the White Tower will be carefully looked after, and thrown open to the public. The Beauchamp Tower "no tknowu in history until about the reign of Henry VIII., and is covered i many parts, with brief and often sad memorials of n merous prisoners. Every fragment of paint has been carefully removed, and most of the inscriptions are be,a. tifully perfect. Even the places where the imprison workmen have sharpened their tools may now be d tinctly seen.—The Builder. CHARLES DICKENS.—Mr. Dickens has, with liberality, presented a cheque for 3001. to Se Field, a superannuated officer of the Detective Po upon whose information he founded several articles Household Words, relative to the Detective System.
