THIS National Institution comprises the principal influence in Scotland among its numerous Proprietary, and affords unquestionable security to the Public by the magnitude of its Capital. Established on a broad and solid basis, it has been enabled by the unexampled support which it has received, to conduct its operations on a larger scale than its competitors in North Britain. • The Capital Stock of the Scottish Union Company cannot at any period be endangered, according to any calculable human hazard ; and all persons insured with this Company may rest in absolute certainty, that, whenever a claim shall arise, ample means will be always available to satisfy it with promptitude; and that the principles by which this Institution is regulated will provide resources for the liberal adjustment of every de mand. Prudence dictates to every man, who is anxious to provide for his family, to effect his Insurance at the lowest premium, combined with perfect security. If he become an Insurer in this Company, his object will be completely attained. The Directors, therefore, have every confidence that the reduced rates, and the superior security of the Scottish Union Company, will obtain a continuance of the same distinguished support from the public in England which it has hitherto experienced in Scotland. For the convenience of persons resident in England, it is competent for the Assured to sue the Corporation in any of his Majesty's Courts in Ettg,iand; • Tables of rates and explanation of any description of Fire or Life Insurance will be given on application to the undersigned agent of the Corporaticri.

NVEticall eiver attentioni,f,eosrt i o v n a moment h t a o s a a n aedavreerlifnem theeni, t pool newspapers, in which there is exhibited as great a profusion of bare-faced puffing as ever was subscribed by 'Wane'', of Jet Blacking notoriety,.or formed part of the less delicate effusions of the Venders of Lotions, Drops, or Pills. - - We cannot discover wherein the title "Anot r Festival" has any connection with the subject of the adver ement—PATENT BRANDY : and we are equally at a loss to count for the igno rance which dictated the appeal to "the P , triot, th e C onno is s eur, the Agriculturist, the Economist, the Ins. d , and the Prejudiced," where it is attempted to make these pa ses believe that ail their happiness in this world depends upon their use of the Com pound in question: The Advertisers favour the public with eight wondrous reasons why their commodity is used: and these are followed by "cer tificates" of quality, (how obtained is best known to themselves.) As regards the former, we could, in half the number of para graphs, show more clearly a very different conclusion, and the latter savours too much ot quackery to require any serious re marks. Indeed, it would exhaust the patience of the commu nity to follow this tissue of absurdity throughout,—a specimen will be found in the following extracts. They form a tolerable collection of the hackneyed phrases generally found m puffing advertisements, viz.—" The irresistible march ry - science,"— " will not bear the slightest comparison,"—"patronage as distin guished as it is extensive,"—"unprecedented extent of sale and admitted superiority,"—"wholly dissipated the prejudices,"—"un rivalled production,"—" the Public rather than themselves are interested,"—"is the only known pure spirit in the world,"—"re peatedly challenged by comparison or otherwise, possesses all the valuable properties of the first class Cognac,"—"it is found congenial to the most delicate constitutions,"—" the superiority is established by the unanimous • ppinions of the . most celebrated chemists,"—" important discoVery,"—" caution to the trade," 4-c., kc.—All fudge, fudge, fudge! . The whole concludes with a common-place Caution regarding "imitations," which comes apropos from a party who profess to be only imitators themselves, and who seem displeased that any one should succeed in what they have so long unsuccessfully attempted. In contrast to the system pursued by , the parties referred to above, the PATENT BRAN DY manufactured by E. H. DES VIGNES and Co., London, has been introduced into this Mar ket without the aid of long-winded advertisements or equally unmeaning certificates. It has by its quality been at all times preferred to that which is now recommended to " the Patriot," &c. &c. and while the Patentees despise the placard or puffing system to. speak its merits, they confidently solicit comparison with any , other Spirit with whatever degree of effrontery the same may be attempted to be foisted on a discerning Public — Sold only by JAMES NORVAL, Agent, Exchange-al.ley North, Liverpool.

The Committee, in order to render the Performances' as ge nerally accessible, and at the same time as productive to the Charities as possible. have thought it advisable to follow the plan adopted at the two last Festivals, and which gave such universal satisfaction, of making two _Prices of Admission to the Church and Amphitheatre - the first price, and single Tickets taken on the same terms, will he entitled to Reserved Seats, (determined by ballot, under the direction of the Committee,) and the se cond will occupy as before the other parts of the Church and Amphitheatre not so appropriated.

Gallery of the Amphitheatre, Five Shillings each. Tickets for the Oratorios and Concerts to be had only at the Savings' Bank, Bold-street. Tickets for the Balls to be had at the usual places. In consequence of the great inconvenience which Was expe rienced in the indiscriminate distribution of the Tickets for the Sermon on Tuesday Morning, the Committee have resolved that on the present occasion, each Subscriber for a Set of Tickets shall be entitled to receive one for the Sermon gratis, but to Non-Subscribers, such Tickets will be charged 2s. 6d. each. The Tickets to be had at the Savings' Bank. Books of the several Performances, price One Shilling each, will be published as soon as possible, and may then be had at the Savings' Bank, and all the usual places Tickets for dr; Ball at the Wellington Rooms, Ten Shillings and Sixpence each. Tickets for the Grand Faney Dress Ball, One ,Guinea each. It is expected that all persons will appear at the Ball in the Town-hail in full Court or Fancy Dresses, in old English or Foreign Costumes, or in full Dress Naval or Military Uniforms, as no one, with the exception of Clergymen, can on any account be admitted in plain clothes. Masks will not be allowed. Messrs. Litolff and Adams's celebrated French Quadrille Band is engaged for the two Balls. The Committee have made the following Arrangements re specting the Ballot for Seats and the distribution of Tickets, to which they request the particular attention of Subscribers. The Ballot for the choice of Reserved Seats, both for Single :rickets and for Sets, will take place at the Savings' Bank, Bold-street, as under:—_ ' For Tuesday Evening's Concert, a ii nd WedneEday Mornings Oratorio, on Tuesday, October Ist. For Thursday Morning's Oratorio, and Thursday Evening's Concert, on Wednesday, October 2d. For Friday Morning's Oratorio, on Thursday, October 3d. EACH DAY AT THREE O'CLOCK. The Reserved Seats in St. Luke's Church will consist of the Stewards' Gallery, the two side Galleries, and a portion of the whole breadth of the Ground Floor of the Church at the East End. The . remainder of the Ground Floor nearest the Orchestra will be appropriated to the Unreserved Seats. The Reserved Seats in the Amphitheatre will be the whole of the Ground Cir cle and the seats in the Orchestra; and the Unreserved Sub scriptions will be accommodated in the Boxes. The Gallery will be open at Five Shillings a Ticket. Tickets are now ready for delivery at the Savings' Bank, in Bold-street; and, in order to facilitate the Ballot, it is recom mended that the same Party or Family should take their Tickets_in one name. The-Committee tils - o he to inform Sub scribers and the Public, that the Number issued will not exceed that of the Reserved Seats until after the Ballot, when the Pur chasers of Tickets can only be - accommodated with standing room, should the whole of the Seats be disposed of; but no places can be reserved longer than half an hour after the com mencement of the performance. The Ballot will be open to the Public; but, with a view to the preventing of unnecessary attendance, it is suggested, that one person might be authorized to make choice of seats, upon producing the Tickets, for other Parties or Families, as well as his own, wishing to sit together respectively, by . which means this desirable arrangement will be much more easily effected. The Committee will be happy to afford every possible infor mation and assistance in procuring Lodgings and Accommo dations for any Strangers who intend to honour the Festival with their presence ; and they request that all applications may be addressed to them, at the Savings' Bank, Bold-street. JONATHAN BROOKS, Chairman. Committee-room, September 16, 1b33. ANOTHER FESTIVAL. HE irresistible march of science has, in the production of that T incomparable spirit, BE'TT'S PATENT FRENCH DIS TILLED BRANDY, discovered a substitute even superior to its favourite prototype! Inferior French and Spanish Brandies (of which the consumption is by no means inconsiderable) will not bear with it the slightest comparison. The most mpetent judges hive repeatedly expressed their perfect aston' nment at its exact imitation of the finest Cognac. Chemists ustly celebrated for their scientific attainments, have upon an yzation pronounced it a more pure and wholesome spirit; Ile its price is but lit tle more than half that of French Breit --viz., 18s. per imperial gallon. It is, then, to the patriot, who studies his country's weal—to the connoisseur, who delights in a delicate flavour—to the agri culturist, from whose produce it is made—to the economist, whose prudence it invites—to the invalid, whose health and comfort it promotes—to the prejudiced, who haze hitherto sill fared their judgment to be enslaved—and to the consumers of Brandy in every class of society, that J. 'F. BETTS and Co. confidently appeal for patronage and support. J. T. BET'I S and Co. had flattered themselves that the un precedented extent of sale and admitted superiority in the quality of their PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, would, ere now, have wholy dissipated the prejudice which has been known to exist in the minds of many persons against Brandy manufactured in this country, and which, before the introduc tion of their article, was. perhaps, justifiable. If a patronage, as distinguished as it is extensive, including many thousand families of every rank and class of society in all parts of the kingdom, be any proof of merit, then has the PATENT BRANDY irresistible claims to universal support. J. T, BETTS and Co. could well have afforded to rest their claims to the merit of ,having introduced an unrivalled produc tion on such incontrovertible evidence. But theY feel that the public, rather than themselves, are interested in the announce- ATTENDANCE IN LIVERPOOL A.A."D MANCHESTER DAILY.

Monsieur J. M. and A.

Messrs. M. during their course of study have adopted a mode ' of fastening Loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, or tue use of Calomel, or disease of the Gums. Incorrodible Mineral Teeth placed, from one to a complete set, which are incapable of discolouration or corrosion, fixed without wires or ligatures, renders it impoible to distinguish the Artificial Teeth from the natural ones', and warranted to answer every purpose of articulation arWmastication, and will be found in every respect amply competent to supply the place of their predecessors.

THAMES POLICE. SEAMEN'S WAGES. — On Tuesday, Mr. Fletcher, the owner of the U n it e d Kingdom, West Indmman, which was lately run down by the Queen of Scotland steam-vessel, in the river, ap peared to answer the complaint of William Vickery, a seaman, who claimed the suns of £lO, wages due to him for a voyage to Jamaica and back to the port of London, under articles at £2 10s. a month. The claims of the rest of the crew depended 00 the decision. The complainant having been sworn, deposed to having per formed the voyage, and that on the morning of Sunday, the 15th instant, while the ship was riding at anchor in Noithfieet Hope, she was run down by the steamer. MI% Ballantine asked what had become of the ship? Mr. Fletcher.—She is lying sunk now in Gravesend Reach. Mr. Ballantine.—And I suppose your answer to this is that the crew have not earned freight? Mr. Fletcher said his answer to the case was not that they had not earned freight, but that after the ship was run on board of by the Q,men of Scotland steamer, the crew abandoned her and left her to her fate. About three-quarters of an hour after the steamer struck the ship she went down, but not in deep water, and the whole of the crew, with the exception of the mate and the boatswain, left her and came to London. On Monday morning, the day after the occurrence, he went on board, S and, on asking for the crew, was surprised to hear that they had deserted her. He was three days and nights on the ship assisting to get her off, and, owing to the absence of the ship's company, was obliged to employ lumpers and lightermen. Sailor.— i asked the Mate what we were to do, and he said there was no more for us to do, and we left. I risked my lice to cut away the tackle of the jib. Mr. Baltantine said he could not order payment of the wages. The law said that a seaman could not earn wages unless he earned freight, which was the mother of wages. The crew had not earned freight ; they left the vessel before the freight was secured, and if they abandoned the ship they abandoned their *ages. Mr. Fletcher said he would certainly have paid the men their wages if they had made any effort to save the ship and cargo. To show that he had not acted on a hasty conclusion, he handed in a letter he had recently received from his mate, in answer to one he had written, in which the fact of the desertion of the crew was placed beyond doubt. -Mr. Ballantine.—l am of opinion this claim is not made out and I dismiss the case. Mr. Fletcher said the crew had commenced .proceedings against him in the Admiralty Court, and he had instructed his proctor to resist the demand. LONDON GAZETTE.-TUESDAY, SEPT. 24. TN . Liberpool Srtanntb. FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1833 By the Constitution, Captain WILSON, which reached this port on Wednesday night, we have accounts from New York to the 4th instant. The letters received by this conveyance acknowledge the receipt of intelligence from this port to the Bth ultimo. At that period the state of our market for the great staple, cotton, was arproach ing its highest limit; and the accounts which will reach us within the next three weeks may probably determine the character of the American market fur the coming crop, so far as depends on British consumption. The New York papers are engaged in a somewhat angry dis cussion on the management of the Bank of the United States. The Mercantile Advertiser of the 3d instant contains some details of the ba►barous murder of Colonel WOODBINE and his family, on their estate at I Maraparata, about two leagues from Carthagena (de Columbia). Colonel W. had distinguished himself ' during his command in the state of Florida in 1815 There appears to be little else interesting in these jour nals, which extend only three days beyond the dates brought by the packet-ship Hibernia, which arrived here on Sunday last. We have received intelligence from Jamaica to the Gth ultimo, with private letters down to the sth. We sub join extracts from a portion of our private correspon dence, the tone of which has been much changed since the alteration in the conditions of the measure of eman cipation had reached them. It must, however, be remembered, that at the date of these letters the know ledge of the curtailment of the period of apprenticeship, conceded by Ministers on the 25th of July, had not transpired in Jamaica. The vacillation exhibited by Government in the arrangement of the details, of which that abridgment was a striking example, may again prove a serious disappointment to the colonisti; the ex tent of which can hardly be known until the mode, as well as the quantum of compensation shall be fully before them; together with the accompanying explanations on the course to be pursued in the administration of the laws, by the magistracy or otherwise. We sincerely wish that the next accounts from the various islands and colonies may overturn those views, which a sincere conviction induced us to adopt, with reference to the pro bable working of this important measure. Meanwhile we proceed with our extracts:— meat, that they are perfectly aware of the efforts still made by interested persons to depreciate the PATENT BRANDY; and to prevent the entire removal from the public mind of that inju rious delusion, which, however weakened, still exists in a qua lified degree. It is mainly with a view, therefore, to destroy the last remnant of this prejudice, that J. 'l'. BETTS and Co. recall the attention of all classes to the consideration of the de cided approval given by the faculty to their PATENT BRANDY. EXTRACTS FROM THE TESTIMONIALS. " Your Brandy is free from uucombined acid and astringent matter, which exists inure or less in most of the Brandies im ported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To Mr. Betts." Lecturer on Chemistry." " I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for purity of spirit this cannot be surpassed, and that your Pa tent Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the foreign spirit. " JOSEPH HUME, "J. T. Betts, Esq." Chemist to his Majesty." I do not hesitate to express my conviction that your Patent Brandy is fully as free from every thing injurious to health and contains as pure a spirit, as the best varieties of foreign Brandy. " EDWARD TURNER, Professor of Chemistry in the University of London." _ _. " John. T. Betts, Esq." J. T. Betts and Co. and their Agents continuing to receive the most flattering testimonials from Medical Gentlemen of the first Eminence, contained in notes of recommendation given to their Patients and directed to J.T.B. and Co., or their -Agents, earnestly requesting they will supply "Betts's Patent Brandy as more wholesome than the Forel:tin,' respectfully invite to the test. such of the Profession as have hitherto neglected this important investigation. In conclusion, though it has been deemed expedient to caution the Public against the many spurious imitations which abound both in town and country, and though the names of J. T. Betts and Co.'s Distillery, and the designation of their Brandy have been pirated to impose upon the credulous, the result has even tually been so favourable to the interests of the genuine Esta blishment, by concincieg the wavering, that such - delusive pre tenders are destitute of merit and strangers to uniformity in quality even below mediocrity,—that all who are in any degree inclined to accredit their specious professions, are urged to make early trial, J. T. B. and Co. feeling confident the disappoint ment attending the experiment will (as it has always done) re store their connexion to future and undivided confidence. The following extract may serve as a full answer to James Norcal's boasted preference given to E. H. Desvignes's Brandy, and should HE ever require a "placard" or "long WINDED ADVERTISEMENT," the following is recommended as particu larly adapted to the purpose; and should his real opinion of J. T. BETTS and Co.'s BRANDY be desired, the curious may be grati fied by perusing his repeated applications to become their Agent, Sub-agent, or Traveller.

( Before a common jury.) • DESANGES V. DESVIGNES. This was an action for a Breach of Contract, and also for work and labour. Mr. Serjeant Wilde conducted the Plaintiff's case; Mr. Serjeant Taddv, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Martin were counsel for the Detendint. It appeared that a Monsieur Despres having set up a Brandy Distillery in the neighbourhood of Golden-square, which he carried on in partnership -with the defendant, the plaintiff, who had previously been a diamond merchant, in consideration of a promise from Mr. Desvignes to obtain a share in the busi , 'less, took an active part for one or two months in furthering the interests of the concern, and negotiated with a Mr. Love day ft* the purchase of certain premises, in which the business has ever since been carried on. No specific contract, however, was made with him as to the share he was to have in the con cern • but the defendant subsequently promised to compensate him for his services. Ecidence was adduced on the part of the defendant, to show that the speculation had turned out an un profitable one, notwithstanding a change of experiment had been tried, first from distillation from rum to distillation from potatoes, and afterwards to distillation from whiskey; and that, therefore, the plaintiff had lost nothing by not having had a share in it, even if he had contracted for one, which it was contended lie had not. The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to support the counts on a special contract for a share in the business ; but that the plaintiff was entitled to recover, on the common count for work and labour, some remuneration for the services he had rendered to the defendant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £.OO. BANKRUPTS. Charles Hammond, Great Surrey-street, Blackfriars-road, Italian warehouseman.

" Your esteemed favour of the sth June has reached me in due course. I concur with you in thinking matters are not quite so bad as we apprehended, and that estates not encumbered, and coffee properties may still be cultivated to advantage. However, this is mere speculation; as we hardly, as yet, know the plan, or what its details may be. We shall have to make a ne-,v code of laws, as our present ones all hinge on the existing state of things, and are quite inconsistent with a state of uni versal freedom. I hope Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Barrett will ar rive in time to assist us. The house meets on the 27th; and I have no doubt it will acquiesce in the terms of ministers, en deavouring to secure as much labour as we can, consistently with the main features of the scheme. The costa rura/e' o f Hayti may afford us some useful hints." EXTRACT OF A LETTER, SAME DATE. "Your esteemed favours of the 14th of June I have received , and can merely say that the intelligence conveyed by them is very pleasing; it appears to be generally so received, and as our legislature meet on the 27th, it is hoped the Assembly will come fully into the views of the ministry, although there will be some intricate and nice points to decide upon. Our people are apparently as happy and contented as can be; and should the plan be clearly explained to them, when matured, I think they will continue so. Coming, as it has done, from England, with so many changes by each succeeding vessel, great excite ment has been caused; yet the negroes are sufficiently aware that their good is so strongly urged by the majority with you, to induce, as we hope, good behaviour." EXTRACT FROM ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. " The composition to be given to the planters, and the fur ther loan talked of, will certainly be a guarantee for the pro tection of West India property, and we hope your ideas of such property becoming more valuable will be realised. At present, however, we cannot but view the new system as involved in many and great difficulties; matters having gone so far, how ever, it behoves every one to meet the question with calmness and deliberation, in order that the details of the act may be carried into operation as beneficially as possible to all parties, however nefarious and illegal the passing such an- act, in the first instance, may have been, without due regard-to the rights of, property, as far as a full and equitable compensation. You justly observe, that I shall suffer great injury from the measure, and which you can easily ascertain when I have to receive but £23 sterling for my negroes—say 180, which will fall consi derably short of two years' purchase of the income I now de rive from my estate, although I expend two to three hundred a-year more in their comforts than is done on any property to my knowledge." A penny magazine, published at Birmingham, under_ the splendid patronage of the trades' union of that town, has been sent us by a friend, and in the present state of the question between the employer and operative we trust we need offer no apology for laying some speci mens of its pernicious materials before our readers. A newspaper printed on unstamped paper, as this one is, is a fraud, first upon the revenue, and secondly upon the fair trader. This fraudulent publication, therefore, is worthy of the cause which it espouses,—dishonesty being the means to a dishonest end. It is true that the penny magazine of Birmingham is not a greater fraud upon the revenue and newspaper proprietors generally than tl penny magazine of London, established by Lord BROUGHAM, patronised by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, gird . conducted by Mr. CHARLES KNIGHT. But one fraud is not justified by another, although we frankly concede that what is knavish in a tinker is much more censurable and criminal in a judge or a minister of the crown. Lord BROUGHAM and his respectable compeers in the penny magazine of London set the example of pilfering the con tents of the newspapers and other publications, which pilfered materials they sold cheap by a paltry evasion of the stamp laws. That eminent example has been fol lowed all over the country, and penny magazines, con ducted by shabby rogues, are as abundant as blackberries. The nuisance may be considered as having reached its climax when the trades' unions of Birmingham have es tablished a gazette of their own. We do not blame them for this, considering who set the example, and the dis tinguished correspondence they have held with some of his MAJESTY'S ministers. Nor do we mean to assert that the composition or the diction of their magazine is in any respect inferior to that of the Times newspaper; on the contrary, the former is much more respectably conducted. All that we stand out for is, that notwith standing their talents, the conductors of the penny ma gazine of Birmingham are cheats, and being so they labour under many difficulties in the dissemination of their opinions from this " - untoward blot on their repu tation. But let us see what they advance in favour of con spiracy, idleness, insolence, and inebriety. "Are we for ever to bow our necks to the controul and in terest of a few beings equally weak and fallacious as ourselves; and who have no claim upon our labour except for superior sagacity in cheating us out of its fruits? Are we who produce every thing, and keep the useless classes in luxury and idle ness, for ever to sweat for the pittance we obtain, whilst the systematic plunderers who rob us return us insult for our foolish though generous submission? I rise with the virtuous indig nation of an injured father; I rise with the decision of a plun dered husband; and I swear upon the altar of my country, that my first duties of life shall be fulfilled, in the protection of my children,—in the comfort and support of my wife, before I will suffer in future the fruits of my toil to ba taken from my . grasp!" We will venture a trifle on the issue that the writer of this is, if he be above the rank of an operative, the most contemptible rogue in the parish where he resides, and if an operative, that he is the laziest and most worth less of his class. As to robbing him, it is quite out of the question ; and when he talks of " systematic plunderers," he evinces not only a malignant disposition, but a degree of ignorance which, if it prevailed generally, would re flect deep disgrace upon the operatives of England. The simple question between the masters and the men is, who shall be master, he who hires, or he who is hired? It is not contended that a master shall take an operative and compel him to labour at a rate of wages fixed by the former. The master has no more control over the rate of wages than have the winds of heaven. When the legislature were cajoled into the passing of HUME'S most senseless and absurd bill, they were told by the honourable member that the sole object of his measure was to permit the scale of wages to be regulated by the supply of, and the demand for, labour. In his wisdom he contended that his bill would for ever put an end to combinations. The parliament of that day, in-.. Hated as it was with new theories, believed him, and gave his measure an experimental trial, of which we are Convinced those who so yielded now bitterly repent. Combinations have increased every year since the pass-. ing of that fallacious and pernicious bill. Every un washed coxcomb who has attended a Sunday school, or a mechanics' institute, now deems himself qualified to legislate for and dictate terms to his master.. The con sequence is, that the social compact between employer and operative is dissolved. All old ties of attachment are torn asunder. The operative, in many cases, is a sullen, heartless, abject, soured, suspicious, and discon tented creature—poor, even with good wages—in debt in the most prosperous seasons—the dupe of indolent empirics who fleece him—the prey of those who take his last sixpence to defray the expenditure of guzzling com mittees, composed of indolent vagabonds and pragmati cal schoolmasters, who trade in sedition, and urge their votaries on to the commission of crime. The masters are willing, and have ever been willing, that the rate of wages should be regulated by the supply and demand, and we venture to assert, that as far as Lancashire is concerned, workmen never at any period earned better wages than they have clone within the last few years, and could earn at this present moment of star vation if they felt disposed. But no; they adhere to their clubs, and their wives and families, bereft of their last blanket, and their last candlestick, are seen begging in the streets. But the workmen do not rest satisfied with asserting their right to dictate terms to their employers; they also claim the right to investigate their private affairs, spect the contracts they make.with the proprietor in the first instance, restrict them to certain conditions which are impracticable, and in fact, wish to make them the abject slaves of the very labourers they employ. Such a system as this is not only pernicious as regards trade , it is destructive as regards morals; it aims at unhinging all orders and grades in society, and is a reproach to a civilized country. The legislature which tolerates it for one moment cannot be actuated by paternal or just views, cannot appreciate public credit or security, and is incompetent to protect the industry or encourage the en' terprise of a great manufacturing and commercial rx* Lion. If these combinations could by any possible means ad" vance the interests of the workmen, acquire for them higher :wages, or contribute to tlieir mental or physica l enjoyments or recreations, we should he the last person a ". in the world to condemn their policy, or take part witl l their best friends whom, by their folly, they have forced into an antagonist position. But being satisfied, not by the occurrences of the passing day, but by all former pe.rience, that these conspiracies are abortive and rious, and certain to involve the unwary in embarrass' ments which it will take many years of a better FPI life to repair—satisfied that they lead to beggary a" vice—to drunkenness and crime—to acts of o utrag e ending in manslaughter and murder—we have no c hoice , however much it may be against our interest, but t° range ourselves on the side of order, and vindicate the rights of the whole community against the tyrannical in" roads of an ignorant and unprincipled faction who w° 4 in the dark, and pass decrees which they have not the courage to avow, or sanction with their names. But it is not the men themselves or their families who must severely suffer from these unions—the tradesull and shopkeepers who either support them, or connive a their proceedings, must be ruined by the cessation pfe °l ; 00 , ployment. It is not many weeks since a LiverP - Bank stopped payment, and lately its partners were d h e ; Glared bankrupts. Who caused this failure ? unions! It was a bank, we admit, of limited resource; but its partners were men of honour and integrity, resource; every intelligent resident of Liverpool now knows th e this failure would not have taken place had the limb e. • trade not become stagnant, owing to the strike of workmen. Labour was at a stand-still—bills were u• q t i.. less—credit among certain classes had passed its 11 0 , mate boundaries—and insolvency followed. The 0131° re d ists may, perhaps, think that their employers suffer by this failure, and that it ought to induce them to lts' a rs to the terms of the clubs. If they think so, they in , much mistaken. The persons who suffered were th e so j ferior tradesmen. It was a shopkeeper's bank, ver y those principally who kept accounts with it ar e t— ile .0 t eller persons who give them credit for grocerie s, blh„ thel meat, bacon, bread, and articles of clothing. see that one source of their former credit is entirelY EXTRACT FROM A SECOND LETTER. " Sugar and rum you will perceive are about double the price they were this time last year. This is partly owing to short stocks, and partly to a belief that the new sys%ens will not work. Pimento has almost failed in St. Anne's, and coffee has suffered dreadfully of late in St. Elizabeth's and Manchester." The ministerial papers have at length been permitted to speak out, and all the fine speculations of the. parti zans of Don PEDRO, the story of an armistice, and the proffered capitulation of Don MIGUEL, are announced to be fictions—the weak and vile inventions of the enemy. The officers of the Echo steamer were either misled themselves, or they have practised imposition upon the numerous and rather voracious correspondents of Ply mouth and Falmouth, and our own correspendents, we are sorry to say, among the rest. What can our excel lent contemporary of the Exeter Gazette say for his " most respectable merchant," who saw the sea disco loured with port wine off Oporto? The Globe and Sun of Wednesday evening inform us that no negotiations had been proposed by either brother, and that the state of both parties was precisely the same after the sth as it was before. The affair of that day was merely a skirmish followed by no results worthy of the slightest notice. The ministerial journals, after a silence of six days, are communicative thus far and no farther. They do not favour us with the most remote clue to the nature of the official and important despatches received from Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, by the Echo. The Globe is taciturn beyond its usual stillness. The inference from this is that these despatches are any thing but favourable to the cause of Donna MARIA, and the old rumour is revived that they contain pressing solicitations. for immediate assistance from the British Government. The latest advices from Constantinople via Ancona are to the 29th ultimo, on which day and for some clays pre vious a terrible conflagration raged in that capital. As a fire in Constantinople is considered to be either an in dication or a prelude of revolution—or an attempt at revolution as in the case of Bristol and Nottingham during the insane days of reform—much fear has been excited lest the foolish SULTAN should fall a prey to the fiery indignation of his subjects. By some accounts six teen thousand houses are said to have been burnt or burning. It is also stated that the SULTAN had sought refuge in the Christian suburbs of the city. In the ab sence of any thing like positive facts it would be wrong to indulge in speculations, for which reason we shall leave Constantinople as it is till another opportunity. It is a subject of general remark that the throne of Lotus PIIILIPPE is to the present reigning family not worth more than a twelvemonth's purchase. The dynasty of the three days seems to be held in very little repute. A friend has favoured us with the following extract from a letter of recent date, which shows the state of public feeling in the north of France. The writer is an amia ble liberal of the modern school fast progressing towards conservatism:— " St. Omer, Sept. 19. " I accompanied some friends yesterday to see the troops re viewed by the Duc d'Orleans, and my radical feelings were quite annoyed by the cold reception he and his brother received. I a m much afraid I. shall at last be obliged to become a Con servative, that party appearing to increase.daily. lam afraid that not even the army is strongly attached to the reigning family, for not one battalion in ten uttered a sound in passing the two interesting young men, who sat like two statues occa sionally put into motion when some officer, more attached to their interest than the majority, presented his sword and ex cited his men to utter a faint huzza. The troops stationed here 'mount to 25,000, and the whole will have a grand field day to- morrow." SEPTEMBER 27,
