The object of the Company is for the transaction of all Panki7 business at SYDNEY, LAUNCESTON, ADE LAIDE, PORT PHILIP, and such other places as the Di rectors may deem advisable ; and it is intended to apply, as far as possible, the system which has proved so successful in Scot land. The extraordinary progress which the Australasian Colonies have made within the last few years, the continued flow of emi gration towards them, together with the high value of money there, call for an increased number of establishments of this de scription, and the prosperous condition of the Banks already in operation is a sufficient guarantee that under prudent manage ment this Investment must prove a most profitable and secure one to the Shareholders, as high rates of interest are obtained with perfect security in a country where, from well ascertained data, Capital is improving at rates varying from .50 to 75 per cent. per annum. The following Extract from the Official Share List of February 4th, 1840, shows the present value of Stock in Two •f the Australasian Banks formed in London : Original Share Paid up.

Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales, wherein he observes—." There are at present in Sydney three Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up capital of ablut 80,000/. each ; which divide a profit annually of from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion to the Western Bank o f A us t ra li a , " Th e second half-year ieft a clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent., which, after setting aside one-fifth as an accumulating fund, according to an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a divalend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor had the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the recovery of a debt due to it." The Directors have for some time been making arrangements for immediately carrying into effect the objects of the Com pany; and in order to advance the influence of the Bank in the Colonies, they have reserved a portion of the shares for distri bution there. As the principal part of the business must necessarily be car ried on in the Colonies, it has been thought inexpedient to have a numerous Board of Directors in London : it has there fore been determined that the number shall not at any time exceed ten ; but to secure the prudent administration of the affairs of the Bank, a complete system of superintendence is now being organized by the Directors for the Establishments in the Colonies. A sufficient capital has already been subscribed to enable the Directors to commence business immediately. They have therefore resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unre stricted application of shares, and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, not to entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 2/. upon each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves, at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with such application, either in whole or in part, the money to he returned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him if accepted. _ _ For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprie tors, it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to call up more than 10/. per share for the next twelve months. The Directors have postponed filling up the London Board to the full number of ten, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance an d co operation they may think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern ; power 1; reserved to them for that purpose, and they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements necessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.

A S manhood approaches, the human form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of s,ciety, pure aed virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob. squirted, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which sh ou ld h ave b een effectually'cured.

He notices a number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole took, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.

" Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image ; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eve. Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, but revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution w e raise against the living labours of public men, how we blight that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books ; since we see a kind of homicide may be thus committed, some times a martyrdom ; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and faith essence, the breath of reason itself, slays an immor tality rather than a life."—Areopagitica, Milton. National Education.—“ The Bishop of Norwich said the race of clergy which was now passing away had had the most favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes, and of educating the people in the principles of the Church of England. If this had been done thirty years ago, and educa tion extended to teaching the children ob e di ence to and re spect for the law, and the frugal husbanding o f t h eir mean., it would have been impossible to have raised i n f ur i ated ban d s of malcontents like the Chartists of the present day, and England would have a very different aspect. He did not cast a general condemnation on the clergy of that period, for many of them had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golde n an opportunity had passed--an opportunity that would take the greatest labour and energy of those anxious to impose on the rising generation to reclaim." The Sun, No. 14,657, August the Bth, 1839. " We cannot on this occasion lay down our pen without en deavouring to impress on the religious and Protestant part of the community, the unspeakable importance of speedily taking measures to purify and purge the Church." " If there be truth or consistency in man, sincere Protes tants must turn against those who have given such prodigious vantages to the Pepish superstition."—The Morning S un, Tuesday, September, 10, 1839. " I may therefore conclude, that upon this revision 13ellarny's—of the Hebrew Scriptures, great stress ought to be laid, as anticipating a closer approximation in sentiment among all denominations of Christians now at variance with each other, upon certain disputed points of doctrine —under this impression, I think all must subscribe to its importance." — Chester Chronicle, Feb. 20, 1824, " The Catholic authorized version was first published at Douay in the year 1609. It was the result of forty years' toil and labour, and can fairly stand a comparison with any other version of the Sacred gcriptures, published i n any country, I either P o pi s h or P rotes t an t.

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 1834, New Translation.—" If I were shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother had conceived me." Note.—Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. This verse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning: it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore follows, that if man were shaper in iniquity, and conceived in sin, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him. Mr. O'Connell is a powerful speaker, a skilful politician, an able advocate for civil and reli g ious liberty, but h e s h ou ld nut attempt theology.—The Sun, No. 14,672. " Swift seems to have entertained some gloomy forebodings of the melancholy fate that awaited him. On seeing a tree, the top of which was withered, he shook his head, and ex claimed, I shall be like that tree, I shall die at top." Mr. O'Connell, though having received the friendly admo nition of this paper, in our matter of " dying at top," must still wear his feathers "in his cap of vanity." " In London," observes Batista Angeloni, in Letters on the English Nation, 1750—" religion seems to be periodical, like an ague, which returns only on ce i n seven days, and then at tacks the inhabitants with the cold fit only, which physicians reckon the most fatal; the burning never succeeds in this country." " Even on their days of worship in their Churches, there is ten thousand times more inattention to their duty, than to the price of stocks in Change-alley all the rest of the week ; and the fervour of their devo tion, to obtain a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament, purchasing a good bar gain on the Exchange, or trying to obtain a good place at Court ; they are as cool and inanimated in their acts of devo tion, as they are warm and active in those of getting riches, and their temples and exchanges are accordingly constructed within for those different dispositions, every family having in their churches a snug pew, a kind of closet, where they can sit and sleep, or employ themselves in anything but their duty to the Highest ; whereas in their places of commercial rendez vous there are no seats, they would be useless there, the zeal of gain keeping them standing to their duty." With this accurate delineation of the " Corporation of the City of London," where the fervour of their devotion for a seat in Paradise is infinitely short to that of procuring one in Parliament ;" and this being the municipal body which gives tone to the institutions of the country, what promoter, we may expect on behalf of a matter "of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." It is a melancholy reflection that the " two Estates" distin guished amongst us as " collective wisdom" throughout .the realm should have had no deeper feeling towards a linguist of a country than the frequenters of " 'Change-alley." It is now more than 30 years since the eminent linguist Bel lamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the highest literary character in the country, the " Classical Journal ;" it is 22 years since we became adherents to his pro mulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, and the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or " the cruel and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of vi tuperations against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and "a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injus tice from the press of England. It is pleasing to us to observe a conspicuous personage in our triple state, who was equally unmindful in his day, and of the posthumous fame of a Prince. Sir Robert Peel has his proper estimation with a portion of the Press. " The Tories quarrel with the Hon. Baronet because of the feeble, shifting, cowardly policy which he has pursued during several Sessions of Parlia ment. We now find this once trumpeted statesman, everywhere inveighed against by those of his own faction, as a sluggish and irresolute, if not a feeble-minded, statesman."— Sunday Times. When malignancy, the characteristic of olden time—for Shakespeare wrote "hens' evil mariners live in brass ; their virtues we write in water"—is so rife amongst us, we consider it our bounden duty to break a lance with the assailants of the memory of the Prince and Patron of the Work, " of the ut most importance to the interest of mankind," and a ' life be yond life"—who Distort the truth—accumulate the lie, And pile the pyramid of calumny , r.

The following are among the numerous Addresses presented at St. James's Palace to her Most Gracious Majesty, at the Le vee on Friday last, the 6th inst. : Presented by Major BELL, of Beverley, accompanied by the lion. CHARLES LANGDALE, M. P. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The Humble Address of the Inhabitants of the Borough of Beverley, in public meeting, at the Guildhall, assembled. May it please your Majesty, We, the inhabitants of the borough of Beverley, in public meeting assembled, humbly and dutifully approach the Royal presence, to offer, with affectionate and devoted loyalty, our heartfelt congratulations on the auspicious occasion .of your Most Excellent Mjesty's union in marriage with his Royal Highness the Prince Albert of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha. The wisdom of your Majesty's selection of a Royal Consort, worthy alike of your Majesty's affections, and of your people's high regard, is amply testified by the unanimously approving and applauding nation's voice. Our ardent congratulations to your Majesty on this so happy consummation of your subjects' anxious wishes, are accompanied by a feeling o I heightened interest from the novel circumstance of your Majesty being the first Queen Regnant of these realms, who, in the freshest bloom of youth has entered into these con jugal relations, which, by the many natural sympathies which they awaken or confirm, offer an additional guarantee for the continuance of that benign, equally just, and mildly protective rule which has already been so conspicuously manifest in your Majesty's reign. Prot - id in Memorials of the pace, and eminently graced by the present identification of female rztie with the British throne, we, under a Queen imbued velth the spirit, and already practised in the forms of freedom, look forward in humble and happy confi dence, for ourselves and families, to a long, a prosperous, and happy reign—a reign which, when committed to the rolls of time, may have nothing to unfold but new and unfading lustre to British justioe and the British name. That every private and public happiness may await upon your Majesty's marriage-union with the house of Cobourg ; that every national blessing may attend upon your Majesty's impe rial rule, is the devoted hope, the earnestly-breathed prayer, of those who now submit to your Most Excellent Majesty this their humble and their most loyally dutiful address. Given in the &tame, and on the behalf of the Public Meeting holden in the Guildhall of the Berough of Beverley, this 24th day of February, in the year of our Lord, 1840. Presented by Major Bina, of Beverley, accompanied by the Hon. CHARLES LANGDALE, M.P. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The Humble Address of the Members of the Reform Asso ciation of the Borough of Beverley and East Riding of the County of York. May it please your Majesty, We, the Members of the Reform Association of the borough of Beverley end East Riding of the county of York, humbly approach the Royal Presence to tender our dutiful and ardently affectionate congratulations on the nationally-joyful occasion of your Most Excellent Majesty's union in marriage with his Royal Highness the Prince Albert of Saxe Cobuurg-Gotha. The greeting plaudits of a nation's voice evidence, at once, how eagerly the consummation of your Majesty's Royal union in marriage has been desired, and how harmoniously the illus trious object of your Royal choice is reverenced and welcomed as the Royal object of your people's general approbation. This so nationally-hailed, so eventfully-interesting epoch in your Alejesty's regal life, which, by th e f ee li ngs i t elicits, calls is as dutifully and affect ionately loyal subjects into immediate congratulatory contact with our bel ove d S overe i gn, offers to us also, as a liberally constituted assembly, the coveted occasion humbly to express unto your Gracious Maje s ty h ow grateful l y we are impressed with the mildly protective benevolence and the nobly equal justice of your Most Gracious Majesty's admi - nistrative rule. With ardently devoted attachment to your Royal Person, with humble gratitude to Providence, we hail the era in our nation's history, of beholding a youthful monarch on the British throne, who is the openly declared advocate for upholding, in their widest extent, the every liberty of even the humblest subjects of her realm—the liberties alike of conscience in com munion with their God, the Father of us all ; and the liberties of equally-assigned public rights and equally-distributed public justice in their civil contact with their fellow-subjects and their fellow-men. We hail, too, with enthusiasti c reverence an d joy, a Sove reign who has effectually pronounced that in h 'r political rela tions with her subjects she will tolerate no guile. We view with deeply-revering public interest a Sovereign who will not yield her Royal sanction to the assumption that any arrogated claim to superior religious excellence can justify the political persecution of any branch, or of an-y individual Member of that great empi -e over which Divine Providence has gifted her with Imperial sway. It is with no ordinary feeling of patriotic exultation that in your Majesty we hail a Sovereign, who, obeying by instinctive impulse, that first of the three sacred mandates of a triple precept—" to do justice "—has already in golden fiat written, Before that God who has thus emphatically commanded me to do justice '—before that God on whose tribunal 1 must'' myself appear, I will do justice unto Ireland! Ireland, unitedly with England, has borne the brunt and shared the triumph of every fight for British power and British fame, during the longbut lengtheniag lapse, numbering in years six hundred and sixty-eight—lreland, coequally sharing in the dangers and upholding the destinies of England —one hundred and ten years before Wales, and four hundred and thirty-one before Scotland, became integrally conjoined with England's rule. Ireland, in fine, until the Lord-Lieutenancy of the Mar quis of Normanby commenced in 1835, wa., to the penetrating vision of your Majesty, Ireland wretched and internally em broiled, in melancholy and startling contrast to England prosper ous and internally serene! By one gently-breathed word of administrative kindness—by one gently-wafted look of really sympathising amity from Eng land's Queen, is Ireland already hushed into internal peace. And at th's very moment to your most gracious Majesty does Ireland turn with tearful eye of mingled gratitude and onward hope, entt eatingly to ask for the full boon at last, of equal rights and equal hopes with England's sons and England's soil. Unto your Majesty Ireland uplifts in tearful gratitude the asking eye, to learn if not more safely still, your Gracious Ma jesty will interwreath with rose and thistle, as a first gem of g ory in a youthful Crown, the but-too-long loosely pendant Irish Green. That God may long extend, may prosper, may amply bless in all their varied relations, your hlajesty's sacred life, and re verencei rule ; That the Almighty may uphold and strengthen your Majesty's already practically entertoined, and regally written lofty and holy purpose, to live and rule not for to-day alone, but for an enduring after-life, in the love and admiration of posterity • Is the ea rnes tly f erve nt prayer of those who. in approaching the Royal presence with this their humbly and dutifully Con gratulory Address, offer unto your beloved Majesty that homage which a noble-minded Sovereign will ever highest prize —th e honest and grateful homage of their inwardly admiring hearts. Given in the name and on the behalf of the members of the Reform Association of the borough of Beverley and the East Riding of the county of York, by the here undet signed acting President, Vice-Presidents, and other Office bearers of the said Association for the year 1840, this 29th day of February, in the year of our Cord 1840.

We stated in our last that up to Tuesday night no candidate in the Liberal interest had made his appear ance in this borough, although since a very early hour on the previous Monday Lord Cantilup e an d his partisans h a d b een mos t actively employed among the electors. Various rumours went abroad with regard to the reason for this delay. On Mon day Mr. Br a nd was repor t e d to b e i n H ert fordshire, on Tuesday, it was said that he was in York, and as night ,:ame on and no candidate uppeared, it was even whis pered that he was "over. the border." The plain Eng lish of all this is, that the leaders of the Whig party had been fast asleep—dreaming, dozing in fancied security, while Lord Cantilupe (who lives we believe, within a door or two of Sir Charles Blunt's town residence) was anxiously counting the minutes till the time arrived that he could announce a " vacancy in the borough occa sioned by the sudden death of Sir Charles Runt," — which he did in the most hasty manner possible, not wen giving himself time to express the slightest regret at the decease of the Hon. Baronet. We are credibly in formed that the Tories held a kind of select vestry at the White Hart on Sunday evening, but a few hours after Sir Charles had breathed his last ; while, on the other hand, it appears that Sir Charles Blunt's own agent was not aware of the fact of his death until eight or nine o'clock an Monday morning, and no steps were taken to get a Committee togethe r unt il twelve o ' clock on that day ; and then it was a question whose committee it should be idled. It was misnamed after all. On Monday morning the Liberals had to begin to hunt for a candidate; and of course they waited first upon Gen. Trevor at Glynde, to ascertain whether his son, Mr. Brand, would "come to the scratch." In quest of him the General went, and was absent in London or elsewhere til! Tuesday light, when he arrived at Lewes, and it was round that Mr. Brand, being wanted for anGther constituency, who were `44e enough to have a can hdate ready in t :Ise of z.'n emergen-y, cupid not c onic 'sere ; and, in consequence , the General—sooner than make it a blank day offered himsel:. Open houses, drunkenness, end brawling, the usual con •omitants of a contested election, prevailed during every evening in the week. The canvassing was proceeded with by both parties actively ; but nothing occurred if particular importance until twelve o'clock on &1.- ..117.day night, when a note from General Trevor an., iouncing his retirement was received by Lord Cantilupe. Those Liberals who had been buoyed up by the flattering representations of agents and runners were of course exceedingly chagrined when the fact became public the next morning ; but to those who knew anything of the state of the borough, this result, or at all events, defeat in some shape or. other, must have been fully antici pated. The delay occasioned by the unprepared state in which the Whigs were caught doubt less contributed to the defeat ; but it was not the main cause. In the present state of the constituency a contest was a mere waste of noney. The borough was lost at Easthope's election ; and the distance lost then, instead of being lessened, has been increased. Persons who are interested in an election, who make money by it, are always ready to flatter alike the hopes of candidates and electors ; but. until they can show us in black and white where they rake up the twenty-three majority by which (in a single election), Mr. Fitzroy beat Mr. Easthope, we shall retain our present opinion. Ever since that ime the heads of the Tories have been unceas ing in their endeavours -to cherish and cement their in terest in the borough . In m a tt ers o f t ra d e an d i n t h e interchange of friendly offices they have given the pre ference to those who supported them politically ; while the Whigs have pursued a totally different course. The su!t has been (as might naturally be expected) that 'ttkeivarmness of which Gen. Trevor in his farewell ad dress complains. From the causes which have cork tributed to the decline of the Liberal interest in this borough must not be omitted the fact of an uneducated preacher here, named Vinall, who has obtained an ex traordinary influence over his congregation, having per suaded them by setting forth the horrors of " O'Con nell and the Pope of Rome,l 4 to join the most inve terate opponents of ministerial policy.—Brighton Guardian. STATE OF TRADE. There was a slightly improved demand for some descrip tions of yarn yesterday, and rather mere business done in them than for some time past, but without the slightest rnprovement in prices; and goods of all descriptions were '.xtremely Pat, considering the present season is one in which the utmost activity ought to prevail, ROCHDALR FLANNEL MARKET, MARCH 9.—There have been rather more buyers in the market to-day, but little or n o improvement in the demand for goods. The manu facturers complain of the prices offered_ for .pieces, and some who are obliged to sell may have submitted to a small reduction. The wor,l market has undergone r,o change for some weeks back, the demand has been limited, and prices stationary. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MARCH 10.—From all we can learn, this market was much of the same miserable descrip tion as for some weeks past; perhaps no worse, but the prospect of amendment does not brighten. Indeed all rope of any profitable trade this season seems to be ex tinct; and unless the Legislature interfere, and open the sluices that barcommerce, extensive ruin must be the con sequenee.—Manchester Gmardian. From THE WEEKLY DISTATCH of Sunday, March 8,1840.1 THE MORALITY OF " THE TIMES" JOURNAL. —There is no journal in the metropolis, and it is extremely doubtful whether there is one to be found in the world, which has alternately displayed so much insincerity and baseness as Tile Times, a newspaper which has advocated and betrayed every party with which it has been connected. The following are extracts from that journal, and nothing can be more revolt ing to an honest mind than the evidence they afford of the utter want of morality and the absence of truth and candour in the Editors. It will be seen that, in 1834, the immaculate Times lent its assistance to Chartism, while in 1837, only three years afterwards, the honest Editors were absolutely rabid in their delight of Toryism ; but that may be accounted for by the fact, that the same men who write the leading articles for it now, about the year 1835 suffered their consciences to be sold by private contract, with the types and machines, to the Carlton Club !

Major Pringle arrived in town late on Tuesday night, with despatches from the Governor of Canada, The Glasgow Chronicle of last Monday has the following most afflicting statement. Every circumstance connected with the death of the poor fellow whom it refers to demands the most careful inquiry:—" Corporal Webster, a young man belonging to the detachment of the 78th Highlan ders, now lying in Glasgow, was some time ago sentenced to Eridevrell by a Court-martial for a trifling offence. He re ported himself sick.to the district surgeon, but that gentleman nut thinking the sickness very serious, the young man was sent to Bridewell to undergo his sentence. The consequence was that on Saturday morning last he was found quite dead in the cell, after being nine days in prison. We understand that the hi sjor In command has instituted an inquiry into the case." Several of the horses entered for the Boston stNiple race have arrived in the neighbourhood, and it is expected that ver y near ly th e whole of the entry will start.

The Mayor,-or, we understand, dinner in the e the refused permission to Mr. lickson to a AqAembly-rooms, and it mill* therefore be held in the Town MANCHESTER, MARCH 9, 1840. My LORD DUKE,---I learn from the public journals that on Saturday last your Lordship seized the opportunity—offered by your having to present " several" petitions from the prosperous and happy county of Berkshi re —f rom t h e county whose p o p u l at i on in 1832 was 145,000 souls, and whose poor's rates in the same year amounted to 121,000/. sterling—praying the HonourableHouse, of which your Grace, in my humble opinion, is a most worthy Member, not to allow the happiness and prosperity of that thrice-blessed county to be"- endangered by any alteration in the present imma culate Cora-law,—to say that you " hoped the effl)rte of the much-talked of Anti-Corn-law League would meet with the failure those efforts deserved." My Lord Duke, you have on many occasions applied not very Christian-like, epithets to the League, of which lam an hutrible member. Yon have accused its members of designing to reduce (I) the farmer and the labourer from their present ex alted station to beggary and pauperism ; from their present high physical and moral condition, to the low debased condition i n w hi c h their fathers and their grandfathers must have grovelled, because they were not " protected" by a rigidly restrictive law, and because your Lordship's honoured father, , less wise, unfortunately, than his son, was an enemy to the blessings conferred by dear bread. My Lord, permit me to explain what I am, and how I stand related to your Lordship. lam &ma nufacturer, one of those " commercial swindlers" • who have the audacity, the impiety, to wish that every man may be allowed to exchange the products of his industry in the most advantageous market— ~ in the market where he can get the greatest amount . of articles which he may want, for a given quan tity of the articles produced by his labour, skill, and capital. Now, my Lord Duke, I manufacture a kind of cloth, called in the vulgar technical language of trade, 27-inch printing cloth, the money value of which is 6s. Bd. at Manchester, and which_ cannot be bought lower, if' 'bi scrlow a price, in any other part of the world. If I take six pieces of.. this cloth to Hamburgh or Rotterdam—alwaysprovided your Lordship's Llonourable House will permit me to do so—l can obtain from them, reckoning wheat at the decennial average ending 1835, one quarter of wheat and 7s. in money, which sum will pay the freight and expenses of bringing the wheat from Hamburgh or Rotterdam to my cellar in Manchester. But if I take six pieces of my cloth to your Grace's steward--he, reckoning wheat at the British decennial average ending 1835, will only give me about two-thirds of a quarter of wheat ; so that I, a poor Manchester manufacturer (if I must trade with x ou at all), must make your Grace a clear present of two pieces out of every six I turn over to you I NoW I, in dividually, cannot do this. Mark this, my Lord. One half of the cost of my six pieces is labour, and the rest raw material, which must be paid for before used, and which, like the English landlord's rent, is in, some measure independent of the price of my goods. Now, deducting from the gross value of six pieces, namely, 21., the raw material, namely, 1/., there remains for labour in the shape of spinning, weaving, capital (which is hoarded labour), profit, &c., 1/. ; out of this the weaver gets six shillings, and the spinner in proportion. Now, supposing the 1/. to be.equally divided amongst the capitalist, the manufacturer, the weaver, the spinner, and the mechanic who keeps the machine in order, they would each have one-tenth of a quarter of cora for their labour, if they traded with the foreigner, and only about one-twelfth if they traded with your Grace ; and they would lose also, in the latter case, by receiving from you only a little more than a third of a quarter of wheat for the raw material, while from the foreigner half a quarter would be received for it. So that the cost of my liberality in giving your Grace 8i- pieces of cloth for oue quarter of wheat, instead of 6 pieces, must be borne not only by myself, but by every individual who is engaged directly or indirectly in producing the manufactu re d goo d s . T he heaviest part of the I burden falls upon those who are the least able to bear it, the operative workmen. I do not wonder that your Grace should be op - posed to any change in a system which enables you to rob me and those dependent upon me of one-third of the fair remuneration of my labour and theirs. P e rh a p s , h owever, you will y say—as indeed you have often said—that the farmer and. ~ the labourer are the_ parties. who - gain by . this legalized system of robbery : a word on this part of the question. In 1770, when we exported corn, or in other words, when we sold it as low, or logr, than foreign counties, and consequentfy - .- coffd not be said to be " protected against im portation," the Buckinghamshire peasant got Bs. sd. per week average wages ; for this money he could buy 26ib. of beef, or 28i-Ih. of cheese, or 751 b. of bread, or 171 b. of butter. The rent of his cottage and garden was about one half as much as the rent of his cottage alone is at present! Now, in 1840, the Bucks peasant has on the aeerage lls. per week : for this he can buy only 191 b. of beef, pr 181 b. of cheese, or 601 b. of bread, or 111 b. of butter. So much for the " beneficial" operation of the plun tiering system upon his condition. In 1770 the average rent of land in Bucks was 101. per acre ; the farmers were rich, in many parts uncommonly so, as your Grace may learn by perusing " Arthur Young's Six Weeks' Tour in the Southern Counties of England and Wales'," p. 30, where you will find instances of large for tunes made and making by farming, and amongst others, one of Mr. INlallett, a Norfolk farmer, who had made his fortune, in less than thirty years, on a faun of 1,500 acres, and who had, when Young visited him, just bought estates to the amount of 1,700/. a year. Are there any Malletts amongst your Grace's tenantry ? The true answer to this, will settle the question of the farmers' " participa tion" ft the plundering system. They are plun dered, not plunderers. When I add that the Bucks rents have risen from 10s. per acre to 1/. 10s., to Si. an acre, I think that the inference will be that your Grace, and your Grace's order, are the' sole parties interested in the preservation of the p.esent Cot n-laws. I could acid more, but I think you have had . enough for the present from one who will have to stand at the bar of God, perhaps, side by side with your Grace, although, according to your Grace's aristocratic notions, he may be at present merely A MEMBER of the “ SWINISH MULTITUDIZ." SINGULAR ANIMAL. -Among the high moun tains of that elevated district, where Glenorchy, Glenlyon, and Glenlochay are contiguous, there have been met with several times during this and also the former winter,upon the snow, the tracks of an animal seemingly unknown at present in Scotland. The print of the foot in every respect is an exact resemblance of that of a foal of considerable size, with this small difference, perhaps, that the sole seems a little longer or not so round ; but as no one has had as yet the good fortune to have obtained a glimpse of this creature, nothing more can be said of its shape, or dimensions ; only it has been remarked, from the depth to which the foot sunk in the snow, that it must be a beast of r;or, siderable size—it h as b een o b served also, that its walk is 'tot like the generality of quadrupeds, but that it i s more like the bounding o r li mp i ng of a hare when not scared or p ursu d. is not. in one l oca li ty only that its tracks have been It but through a range of at least twelve miles, and as the seasot4 is now so far advanced, and consequently storms GI snow !lot likely to be severe or remain for any length of time on the ground, except on the highest ridges, this singular creature may elude every notice at least for this season, although it is now resolved, upon the first discovery of the track, to follow it through the highest mountains, unless prevented by the most inaccessible rocks and precipices. —Perth Courier. • STROUD.—The following answer lins been re turned by Lord John Russell to the Address from the Dia- • senters of Stroud :—" London, Feb. 22. 1840, Sir—l bare hadthe honour of receiving your letter, enclosing resolutions, which seem to be founded on some strange misconceptit.n. have never uttered any insinuations against the character of Dissenting ministers.
