It was the old story, we were told ; the periodical recurrence of bucolical grumbling ; and that the true remedy was not legislation, but re duced rents and more scientific farming. A new element of national discontent with the operation of Free Trade policy has, however, at length dis played itself. The manufacturers and merchants of Scotland have never been considered very greatly behind the age in trading energy and:abilitv,nor the artizans an d operatives of that portion of the kingdom accustomed to regard themselves as inferior in skill to their own class in this or in foreign countries. Yet these parties have at length made the discovery that they have been hurried into an experiment, which is proving ruinous to their prosperity, and that even their much vaunted manufacturing supre macy is not sufficient to sustain them in a race, in which they are made to run with unfair burthens. In a word, our Scottish brethren are feeling pain fully that the idol which they have worshipped under the specious name of Free Trade is a grind ing tyranny, which threatens ultimately to prostrate them with the dust.

The suffering of the farmer,.and his present acute perception of its causes, are things which cannot be got rid of by a shuffle of the curds, or any other juggle of statesmanship. The substitution of a Peel or a coalition ministry for the present incapable government, might revive the commercial energies of the country and give con fidence to capitalists for a season. A fortunate settlement of affairs on the continent might give an impetus to the export trade, and increased em ployment to the artizan. But none of these things could operate sensibly upon agriculturA distress.

This may be regarded as a light matter by our Manchester political economists. "Rents must be reduced" they will say. "The owners of the soil must come down in the social scale ; . must dispense with some of the superfluities of life, and put their own hands to the plough." Precisely. This is just what is impending over the landowner; and what he will have to , do, if it is practicable. But we end that, to a considerable extent, it is totally impracticable ;-and where it is not so it must entail a vast amount of suffering upon the entire com munity.

Prices remain steady in Brunswick-street, at the improvement of Friday, but nothing of any moment has transpired. The following quotation from a Cork correspondent, which we give as affecting radian Corn, presents a lamentable pic ture of the destitution prevailing in that district : Importers of Indian Corn have become more moderate in their demands, and evinced a readiness t We re fe for the ar of making Sunday tha .1 here, and landing of from ympathised the sister country and Let any of our readers pay a vist to the Clarence Dock after tide time on a Sunday, and he will witness a spectacle which ought not to be seen on that day in any well regulated community. He will see some hundreds of our clock labourers and' porters even busier than on any week day, unload ing cows and calves, pigs and sheep, amidst the . bawling and execrations of the droverS, the barking of their dogs, and the yelling of the poor tortured animals, rudely thrust upon the quays, and driven off, sea-sick and wearied, to the place of sale. The street is like a fair during the best part of _ and we have, in addition, the indecent pectacle of droves continually passing through our outskirts by various routes to the Old Swan. This to descend to the tenant's level, and occupy his position, the latter, in his turn, must descend to that of the labourer. With such a social revolu tion effected, what must be the enormous pressure of poor rates throughout the agricultural districts? It must almost absorb the produce of the soil. What, too, must be the effect of such a new distri bution of the industry of the country upon the manufacturers themselves, who have clamoured in its behalf? It must inevitably be the almost total annihilation of the home market, by the cessation of the agricultural classes to consume anything beyond the coarser and less profitable fabrics of the loom and the workshop, and of articles of lUxury both imported and domestic; and the ren dering us more absolutely dependent upon that foreign demand for the labour of our manufac turing masses, which we have just seen is so liable to interruption, from causes over which we have not the slightest control. _ concession ; the stuck of this article now remaining in ware house, or on board ship in our river, is triling, as compared with the large sale that exists for it, although it must he re marked that the late advance in prices has. checked the con sumption to an important extent ; and it is amelancholy fact, that the peopleare in such deplorable poverty they are abso lutely unable to.: --purchase this indifferent food at the present rates, and are forced to the use of inferior substitutes, such as wild and rank vegetables, unfit for human beings, dangerous to their health; and:not possessing proper rutriment.

These form, it must he borne in mind, almost an unvarying- hurthen. 'Whatever fiancial reformers may effect in reduc tion of expenditure, one half, at least, of the amount—the debt—is fixed.

We shall give an instance of this, and adopt the calcu lation of the able writer of a pamphlet before us, entitled "An enquiry into the economy, exchange, and distribution of wealth, by J. Mason,. opera tive." The author assumes it as an undisputed point that the value of an article is fairly measured by the quantity of labour and skill engaged in its production ; that a debt of a pound, which can be satisfied this year with a week's labour, will press doubly upon the debtor, if next year he has to pay it with a fortnight's labour. Taking the national expenditure, therefore, at an unvarying sum of fifty millions per annum, the following would be the comparative extent to which industry would be taxed to meet it in the two years 1810 and 1849, in grain and manufactures : Money taxes. Real taxes Grain, at 80s. per qr in 1810.. Ditto, at 40. in 1849 ..... Manufactures, at £4 per cwt. in 1810 9l 12,500,000 cwts Ditto, at £l, in 1849.. /I 50,000,000 cwts The real taxation in 1849, as compared with real £50,000,000 12,500,000 qrs Is. per qr, 25,000,000 qrs. taxes in 1810, is— In Grain £100,000,000 In Manufactures 200,000,000 Or, average of the two 150,000,000 We are quite aware that there are some classes of political economists who will turn away from such a calculation of the money pressure of taxa tion, as savouring of what they are pleased to re gard as the dreams of currency doctors. But these figures cannot lie surely. They represent the amount paid for taxes in labour and in rent in 1810, as compared with the amount in 1849, with only too great certainty. It is this very pressure upon our merchants and shopkeepers—the exaction of SIR JOHN GLADSTONE ON THE NAVIGATION AND THE CONDUCT OF ITS SUPPORTERS. Fasciae, 17th May, 1849. DEAR SlR, — When I yesterday received your favor of the 15th inst., informing me that the Mayor of Liverpool had determined to call a second public meeting of the inhabitants, that they might again consider and oppose by every means in their power the extinction of our Na vigation Laws, the time I possessed for the further con sideration of that most vital and all-important subject was restricted by the post to less than an hour for the chance of its reaching your hands before the meeting was assembled. Therefore notwithstanding, 'your committee had urged my attendance and feeble efforts at your public meeting, I could only hastily express what occurred to me on the pressure of the moment in connection with so important a subject. After further consideration, during the short interval that has since elapsed, all I can further attempt for their perusal and consideration, is to offer a short review of the past conduct of those who are now occupied in promoting, by every destructive means within their power and influence, the extinction of those most vital interests which have been committed to their charge. I will begin with their exertions to promote the aboli tion of slavery in our colonies, where its practice, however painful in principle, was humanity itself when compared w►th its pernicious practice in all the colonies of other countries. Those persons who are now so eagerly occu pied with their exertions to extinguish our navigation laws, (the frciits of matured wisdom and the wo of ages,) were not then less zealously engaged urging forward measures for extinguishing slaver_ But mark the result. By the sacrifice of above twenty millions of our public money they succeeded, and held out the vain expectation that such an example would be adopted by other nations. Under this assurance and prospect the importation of slave-labour sugar was for bidden here, and free-labour sugar alone permitted and encouraged. But observe what has followed These advocates of humanity and professors of liberality ere long, first faltered and next failed in their attempt. In place of persevering in the discouragement of slave labour sugar, they, with the grossest and most outrageous injus tice and inconsistency, turned round on the straightfor ward honest Conservatives ;: and though most actively opposed by theM, they abandoned protection and encon. raged the importation of slave made sugar into the United Kingdom, the fruit of the most horrifying and disgraceful trafficin human blood and life that has ever been witnessed on . the- face of this earth. I<'6r this the only reason I can discover_ seems to be the - increase of revenue and the it is not necessary that we should put up with. The bulk of the arrivals of our cattle boats, and of ass of passengers which they bring with them, might with great advantage take place on he cl the Saturdays or preceding days ; and, to ensure this being done, it would only be necessary that a bye-law should be passed preventing all working in There is no need that some hundreds of our working classes, of. clerks, porters, custom-house offi cers, and packet agents, should be deprived of their enjoyment of the Sabbath to suit the convenience of Irish proprietors and cattle jobbers. No such spectacle as that presented at our Northern Steam Docks is ever witnessed in those of London, Glas gow, or even in the ports of Ireland herself. It may be urged that, by arriving in our port on Saturday instead of Sunday, the expense of an additional day's pasturage would be entailed upon the owners of the cattle. We admit it; but we are assured on all hands that a day's additional rest b" ween the passage and being exposed in the market, would improve the appearance and condi tion of the cattle themselves, and even add to their saleableness and their value to the butcher. Were it even otherwise, we should object to the depre- ciation of the character and comforts of our own working classes, which arises from the existing IF there could have remained any reasonable doubt as to the sentiments of the people of Liver pool upon the subject of the proposed repeal of the Navigation Laws, it must have been effectually dissipated by the triumphant demonstration of Friday last, contrasted with the miserable hole and corner effort of the whip-radical party. With barely a couple of days' notice, very imperfectly circulated, the conservative feeling of the town, with respect to this vital question, filled the largest of our public buildings with an -anxious and deco rous assemblage of all classes of our population ; an assemblage of which any town might be proud, and different far in character and intelligence from the ragged mobs who, a few months ago, in the same locality, cheered the spouters of the league, and threw up their hats in mad ecstasy at the pro mise of cheap bread and increased exports. There were present on this occasion, side by side on the same platform and throughout the meeting, men who, in past years, and upon other questions, have been ranged or; opposite sides, but whom this direct blow, sought to be dealt against their prosperity, and that of their fellow-countrymen at large, has welded together into an united phalanx, whose resolute fiat no minister can sneer down, and whose mature judgments and practical acquaintance with the whole matter at issue will be found proof against both tricky statistics and official dictation. On the other hand, Whig-radicalism, in its abortive effort to prop up the measure, has only succeeded in rendering itself supremely ridiculous. Some dozen or half dozen gentlemen, meeting nobody knows where, and passing resolutions, which set out with an admission that their authors dare not face a public assemblage of their fellow-townsmen, is such a backing of their friends as Lord John Russell and his colleagues will scarcely be very thankful for. One of the reasons assigned by these gentlemen attended, containing. some admi a few of which we upon the question "of our pre all take the liber precious aft ys, was taken away on Saturday evening, having received, at the utmost 244; odd signatures ! Whether it has been forwarded to the house of Lords for presentation, .or been sold by its convectors to some free trade dealer in butter and bacon, we have not learnt. GRAND.

Hugh Stowell, after grateful allusions to the jubilee-fund, threw out a hint that a second similar fund might and ought to be raised for the purpose of founding a bishopric in Africa—either at Sierra Leone or Abeokouta— and that the first bishop to p.reside over the interesting see should be a native of Africa—a second Cyprian. The neverend gentleman is, we are glad to hear, following up the suggestion, and has. received several subscriptions, with a view of carrying, it into effect. Ho will, we have no doubt, be glad to. receive from any of our readers a contribution for so noble an object. THE WEST OF ENGLAND INSURANCE CDMPANY AND THE LIVERPOOL FIRE BRIGADE.—We insert in Our naner LIVERPOOL CHURCH OF ENG.LAND INSTITUTION: This institution, which has, during the last few months, been passing from the transition. stage of formation, (a stage which necessarily occupies some considerable space, when the contemplated association is one of magnitude and weight), to that of permanent operation, newt stands before the public with a more inviting aspect than it was possible it could assume, on those several occasions ' when only in its first pro ce s ses o f f orma ti on ;it was alluded to . ••••- , 44+rvai I, g FLIELIOII tee ins in these columns.

It is a natural re design. The institution in the first place, as will be seen suit that time is lost which might have been most vain by a reference to the printed syllabus, is under the imme- ably employed : that the engine from the station is fre diate sanction and fostering care of numerou s i n fl uen tial quently on the spot long before any effective number of members of the local clergy, the venerable Archdeacon the firemen have learnt where the fire has taken place; Brooks being president.

We should think that a system man. The design is, while affording all the benefits could be devised by which every fireman, hearing a bell derivable from a connexion with the other literary insti- rung, could knew at once the district to which he ought tutions of the town, to direct the mind to the important to proceed ; and that, in case of the fire being in a distant business of religion, and thus to combine the expansion of outskirt, the announcement ought to be immediately the moral faculties with the culture of the intellectual given to the firemen stationed in such eutskirt, insteai. of powers. These are the great objects of the promoters of their having to run down to the central station to learn the institution. More detailed information relative to the fact.
