P. Andrew, Esq., to Sir James C. Melvill, K.C.8., &c. (Extract.) The distance prorosed to be traversed by the steamers—that Is, from Ilydrabad, the upper terminus of the Scinde Railway, to Meehan, the lower terminus of the Punjaub Railway—is 470 miles. Providing five steamers for three successive years, the prospec tive expenditure would ba as follows, viz. : First year : Five steamers, with 10 supplemental barges.. £72,000 Workshops, machinery, and river statloas.. • • 20,0'0 Second year: rive steamers, with 10 supplemental barges.. Third Tear Pive steamers, wltii 10 supplemental barges Contingencies • • • • • . 72,000 £92,000 72,000 144,000 .... 14,000 Entire capital for 15 steamers, with 30 supplemental barges and necessary appliances.. The return of 20 per cent (mentioned in the report of the con sulting engineer) may appear large ; but the communications I have had on this subject with Mr Frere, the Commissioner in Scinde; Major Hamilton, the Commissioner at :Woollen ; Colonel Napier, Chief Ensineer of the Vunjaub ; Mr. Temple, late Secretary to the Chief Comm,ssi,mer of the Panjaub, and other local authorities, lead me to conclude that the pecuniary result cannot but be of a highly favourable character.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sentience!' resulting from certain habits, 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. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is *titled. it le absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with (Ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret !suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how tke evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

(Great applause.) The rev, gentleman then proceeded to read the petitions to both Houses of Parliament, of which the following is a copy : To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of the undersigned, residing at and in the neighbourhood of East Retford, in the county of Nottingham, humbly sheweth : That your petitioners beg leave to represent that the deeply distressed condition of the agricultural classes is such as to call fdr the immediate and serious considera tion of your lordships. That in this country for upwards of 30 years all tho industrial energies of the people have been largely eeve. loped, capital has been extensively aocumul ited, and science has contributed its powers to subjugate the materiallworld to man's dominion. That the natural tendency of these causes is to promote the prosperity of a country, and the comfort, content ment, and moral and physical improvement of the pepple. That, nevertheless, the condition of the labouring chases during this period has frequently been one of the most severe distress, and that the agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing interests have at in tervals of a few years been subject to most ruinous de pression. That your petitioners attribute these evils principally to the violent contractions and expansions of the cur rency caused by the acts of 1818 and 1814, and that they are convinced that this country can never enjoy more than a few years of prosperity at a time while these acts remain in force. That year petitioners particularly direct the attention of your lordships to the facts that while trade is the moat important articles of commerce is now made free the price of gold remains fixed, that we engage to supply all nation■ with gold on demand at an invariable price in paper money, and that thus our domestic circulation is made dependant on the demand for gold in foreign coun tries. That with particular reference to the present state of the country they observe that through all the changes from adversity to prosperity the latter ham always been arrested, after the country has enjoyed it for a few years, by the efflux of bullion, in c mse quence of that being the cheapest article for export whenever our manufactures have risen to a remune rative price, and that this efflux has lowered prices and forced the export of manufactures at a ruinous loss, and by this means gold has been brought back to the coun try. Gold being brought back, the bank has again ieened its paper, and restored prosperity till gold went put again. Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your lordships to make such amendments-in the acts of 1819 and 1844 as may leave gold and silver to find their price in the market like other commodities, may provide a safe and adequate paper money for domestic circulation, and place the currency of the country upon a settled arid satisfactory basis. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c. J. WA.Lxan, Esq., of Lound, made a few brief re marks, objecting to any petition which ecknnw leged free-trade principles ; but as he had evidently mit understood the reading of the petition he withdrew his opposition, after referring to the document. Mr. E. HODGKINSON, after a few reraerke on the ne cessity of a change in oar monetary system, proposed the adoption of the petitions by the meeting. Mr. Councillor WILKINSON seconded the motion, and in doing which, took that opport u nity of stating the desirability of augmenting the society's funds by au increased number of members, whose annual subscrip tions, he stated, would be 53. a year. The CHAIRMA.N then put the motion to the meeting, and it was carried ueanin.ously. The CIIAIR3fIN then rose, and proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Twells, for the excellent and gratifying lecture they had just heard. Wit. CLUTEON, Eiq , seconded the motion, which was put to the meeting, and carried by acclamation. The Rev. Mr. TRKLLS returned thanks, after which the gentlemen present attached their names to the two petitions, and the meetiog broke up at near eight o'clock. Last night, between 10 and 11 o'er , the-Ee n. of Shaftesbury addressed , a very spirited aspeech to a large public meeting assembled 'CrOsbylhall, Bishopsgate-street, at which he presided chair man, on the present position of affairs in Indii and the future prospects, duties, and responsibilities of the British rule in that country. In the early part of the evening the Rev. F. F. Statham had de livered au extremely interesting lecture, the sub ject of which was "Our Indian Empire," in ns _ trated by a fine series of models, pictorial represen tations, and specimens kindly lent for the occasion by the directors of the East India Company ; and at its conclusion, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took occasion, in. pro on al po o s r i e n p g hr a eeg v nt3 o aa t in e d: of thanks to the rev. gentlere,an, whose performance he passed a well-deserved atoohl e bteri t , ri t sededotu o e rr g arr i nyte u odi m onft , iuhGnt iti Great ann g . tdt o eißarA i er n silftr t tta o sei rnio t i ahfi within ce g trawih e ns n eiki se preliminaryiir an mankind more te u f el e wa s tri,:nooni observa tions fft importantd s t u oliyer of —wiThere nt h ur a e s n ev o e t n b t e s en of in th tb e e h w ig l h io e l s e t received and duly managed, than that which has c: current y thateahra. have e f o w e e cu c r o r u e l d d s fr e Q e m er ttihipe unutt erableeveu I do not hesitate to say that I myself should rejoice, and I would call on every one connected with the British name to rejoice from the hottour of his soul that that fearful mutiny took place, becau se if rightly managed, it will bring with it the . m os i manifest results, not only to this empire, but'to the great interests of the peopl e Of every other part of the habitable globe. You Englishmen have, indeed, great reason to be, proud of the nation to which you b-long, but let that pride be of a humble and of a humiliating character. You may well rejoice, I repeat, that you belong to such a nation; but rejoice still more that it has pleased God to give such a character and di-position to the people of this country that in a crisis of such a terrible nature He has produced in that vast region of India such men and such women, who, although taken by surprise by this fearful catastrophe—hay ing been living in the .greatest security —never dreaming, I will not say of becoming the victims of.such atrocities, but that anything like hostile feelings were harboured towards them by the na tive soldiery —many of them in the dead of night, others without a moment's preparation, assailed in a manner the most fearful to contemplate—l say we have reason to be proud that, under all these horrible circumstances, there has not been found, so far as we know, one of the European race in that vast territory who was wanting to the great and unprecedented emergency —not one who for an instant hesitated what to do, not one who would degrade the name of Britain by a miserable cowar dice, not one who did not say, come what may, I will put my trust in God, I will stand up for the bot.our of my country and for the maintenance of the religion I profess. The horrors that were perpe trated and endured exceed all power of imagina tion as they exceed all power of description, and many of them are of such &character that it is said they cannot be recorded. I have said all along, and I say now, that there has been a very undue reserve on this part of the subject. Many of the atrocities have been revealed to us, but a vast• num ber have been suppressed. I repeat, there has been a very undue reserve. The people ought to know what has been done and what has been endured, and that not with the view of stimulating angry feelings, or what has been called vengeance, but that you may know exactly what is the character of the people with whom we have to deal, what is the character of that religion, and what is th e na ture of those institutions that have fostered such a race, and have given the conception and the deve lopment to acts unparalleled in the whole history of mankind. (Cheers.) I know there must be reserve on such subjects, because the indecency of the de tails would be such that you could not commit them to writing or printing, and expose them to the perusal of the public ; but there are many atrocities that have not been stated in all their details ' and much of that detail ca n b e g i ven without trespassing too closely on the limits of impropriety or danger. It is only this very day that I have seen a copy of a letter written and sent to England by an officer of rank who was one of the first that entered Cawnpore a few hours, or, per haps, ouly one hour, after the perpetration of the frightful massacto which was enacted there ; and, think of the description he gives, and what was seen by the whole soldiery, and you will not wonder at tile exaspe;ation that was felt by every man among them who bore the European name. On arriving at Cawnpore he states—and he can scarcely permit himself to write the sail story—that, to his unut terable horror and dismay he sisw a number of Eu ropean women stripped stark naked, lying on their backs, fastened by the arms and legs, and there many of them had been lying four and five days, exposed to a burning sun—others had been more recently laid•down—others again had been actually hacked to pieces, and so recently that the blood which streamed from their mangled bodies was still warm. He found children of 10, 12, 13, and 14 years of ago treated in the same horrible manner at the corners of the streets and in all parts of the there, attended by every circumstance of insult, the most awful and the most degrading, the most hor rible and frightful to the conception, and the most revolting to the dignity and feelings of civilised men. Cawnpore was only a sample of what was perpetrated in various parts of that vast region, and that with a refinement of cruelty never before heard of. Women and children have been mas sacred before, but I don't believe there is any in stance on record where children have been re served in cold blood to be most cruelly and anato mically tortured in the presence of their horrified parents before being finally put to death. (Sensa tion.) Can you wonder, where such a religion pre vails as that which has been described tonight by my rev. friend, that the people should prove worthy of their tuition when the opportunity occurs of developing its fruits The character of the Hindoo religion is te deify every passion, every propensity, every moral sin, and every physical abomination ; but I say you have great reason to rejoice that in this emergency, and amid all its frightful crimes and atrocities, Pro videnea has raised up for you a class of men that will hereafter stand on a level with the best arid greatest in the world's history. In the records which have been placed before you this day you may see the merciful finger of Providence providing for us in the hour of necessity. It has pleased God to remove Nicholson and Neill—gloat and noble men—(cheers) —from the scene of their exploits and their victories ; but it has also pleased Him to raise up to take their places a man equal to the best of them—Col. Greathed. You will see that he has performed an action that for brilliancy is not to be equalled in the whole military annals of India itself, brilliant as they are. (Cheers.) Again, what name can stand hereafter with that of Havelock ? (Loud cheers.) Look, too, at Wilson, Outram, Eyre, and Chamberlain, and look also at the brother of that great man who died at Lucknow—Sir. H. Lawrence. (Cheers.) I trust you will never forget those names —you who are advanced in years, or yon who are young ; I trust the country will never forget those names, and I trust there will be no lack or delay on the part of the country in awarding them the highest honours which it is in the power of the Queen to bestow or in the gratitude of the nation to dictate. (Cheers.) See what great events are before you, and see what a mighty field is open to your energies. There never was such a field offered to any nation, never such au opportunity afforded for the display of prineiple, zeal, and patriotism— for everything in a word, that can engage the hu man heart or employ the human intellect. (Cheers ) I trust the whole country will appreciate the open ing which is now before it. There are great open ings offered for commercial enterprise of every de scription ; but the greatest opening of all to which this country is called above every other is to repay the wrongs that she has received at the hands of the people of India, who have endeavoured to exterminate us, by conferring on the natives the greatest benefits which it is in her power to bestow— namely, the disseminating among them the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. It for us to hold that country for this purpose, and this purpose only, that, although w e may look to the eujoyreent of the temporal advantages which arise from the possession of such an empire, the great end for which it has been given ns, and for which we receive it, is that the name of Christ be there made known, and that those vast millions be exalted in the social scale, in freedom of thought and action, and in freedom of religion, to the same position as ourselves, and that of the best and most enlightened nations in the world. That is our duty ; in that sense we must now undertake the government of India; with that view we must ourmustfonaow r 7 shape our policy, and all our hopes and i ai Let us feel our responsibility, vet°t only greatam a nation, Work h but as individuals, in reference,,37 and n on generation now before us, each man in s to d doing what he can to carry rtinfobertrvilargd,taadgroenawtairn. onward to its full development, re ho me said, " Occupy till I ic unction() e'' ( e L f o u o d u r c cheers.) s rd ) w .

Colonel Edward Harris Greathed, whose name figures so conspicuously in our impression of yes terday, as having led his colunm iu pursuit of the Delhi fugitives, and routed them gallantly near Bolundshuhur with but a trifling loss, capturing the enemy's guns and ammunition, is an officer, not of the E India Company, but of the Queen's service, wad has held the army rank of lieutenant celonel.since June, 1854. He entered the line as onQign in 1832, so that he would now be about 42 or 43 years of age. His subsequent commissions, all of which he appears t ) hare obtained by purchase, boar date as follows :—Lioutenant, 1833; captain, 1838; and major, 1846. He has been employed on active service for just 25 years, of which the last six or so von at least have been spent in India, as we find by Vie "Bengal Army Li-t," that her M-ijesty's Bth Foot, to which regiment Colonel Greathed belongs, were transferred from Bomb)) , to B'ugal in December, 1853. They have been stationed, we should add, at Jullundur since December, 1855. In the " Bengal Army List" for July last, the name of Colonel Greathed stands as commandant of the Umbsllah di-pot for the instruction in rifle musketry. We do not, however, find any detailed record of his military services hitherto, so that he has probably been somewhat late in the opportu nity of gaining his first laurels. He is a brother, we believe, of Mr. Hervey Harris Greathed, the late commissioner of revenue and circuit in the Meerut division, whose lamented death in India we had occasion to record a few weeks since. Another and younger relative of the gallant colonel, Lieut. William Wilberforce Harris Greathed, is a most promising officer in the Bengal Engineers. THE LATE MR. HERVEY HARRIS GREATHED. Hervey Harris Greathed, born August 31, 1817, was second son of Mr. Edward Greathed, of Uddens house, Dorset, and of Mary Elizabeth, daughter of the late Sir Richard Carr Glyn, and was married on the 12th of December, 1844, to Eliza Frances, daughter of Mr. T. J. Turner, B.C.S. Mr. Greathed commenced his career in India in 1836, and after filling various official situa tions in the Punjaub, Rajpootana, and at Meerut, was appointed Commissioner of Delhi, in succes sion to Mr. Fraser, who was massacred at the com mencement of the revolt. In this capacity he ac companied the troops commanded by Sir Archdale Wilson on their march from Meerut to Delhi, was present at the battle of Gazeoodeennuggur on the Hindon, and was with the camp before Delhi throughout the siege. In his early days he had been officially connected with the Sikh chief tains who occupy the territory in the rear of our besieging army. Thus, while his perfect ac quaintance with them and their resources greatly contributed to secure cordial co-operation from that important quarter, he made also every suitable arrangement calculated to call forth those exertions in zealous officers which have preserved in so much security the fertile districts on the other or the east side of the river Jumna, forming the Meerut division lately under his chief civil charge. During our arduous struggle before the walls of Delhi his tone was uniformly encouraging. All the authorities near and distant were reassured by his messages and despatches, the language of which clearly indicated the certain progress of the British armstowards a glorious success. In him were com bined the qualities of a sound judgment, truth, great abilities, and a thorough manly character. His remarkable strength and stature gave promise that his constitution wculd continue the ordinary effects of the performance of laborious duties iu a tropical climate, but it succumbed, as in the ease of others on the same heights of Delhi, to a sudden attack of disease, aggravated by anxiety of mind during the progress of the assault on the city. This excellent public servant had two brothers also present at the siege. One of these, belonging to that distinguised band of engineers, has been car ried wounded to the mountains. The other has gone in command of the strong column which, after tli down ecapture the fDle of Delhi, was s r e iv n e t r i j n um pu n r ar it of the rebels LOCAL SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, NOV. 26.

THE LATE MR. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, M.F. The circumstances attending the lamented death of Mr. Augustus Stafford, whose philanthropic exertions in the East, and whose more recent effoi is to improve the position of the Army Medical Department, brought him into intimate relation with our profession, require notice in these pages. On the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 4thi this gentleman, whilst staying at his Irish estate, near Limerick, felt in his usual supposed-to-be -good health. In the afternoon he complained of a pain in the stomach, which he compared to attacks from which he had suffered on former occasions. The pain persisting, at five o'clock he despatched his servant for his physician, Dr. Daniel Griffin, of the adjoining town, giving directions at the same time to countermand the presence of some friends, whom he expected to dine with him. Dr. Griffin, who, it may be mentioned is the brother of the late Dr. William Griffin, known by his work on " Spinal Irritation," and of the late lamented novelist, Gerald Griffin, is a physician of repute in his district, and the author of some valuable papers published in the medical journals. In obedience to the sum mons, this gentleman was with Mr. Stafford by half-past six o'clock. He found the patient suffer ing from most severe pain in the right side of the abdomen. Dr. Griffin recognised the symptoms as precisely similar to those of an attack for which he had treatel Mr. Siafford just a year previously. It appears that, anticipating this state of matters, he had provided himself with the remedies which on th at occasion had proved success—viz , laudanum and tincture of henbane. He did not provide chlor form, because he had found Mr. Stafford " very in susceptible to its influence on the former occasion." Then ho gave an emetic, which caused an abundant discharge of undigested fool. Now, having in the first instance tried the same agency without the like effect, he proceeded to administer the sedatives which he had brought with him, in doses corre sponding in strength to those given in the previous attack. The patient thus received within two hours some three or four doses (the number is not clear), each containing fifty drops of laudanum and fifty drop of tincture of henbane, with some sulphuric ether. The patient being still unrelieved,•fomenta tions, dec., having been used, Dr. Griffin bled him from a free orifice to the extent of thirty ounces. Another dose of the sedatives, of similar strength, was then administered, and the patient fell asleep. In this condition, believed to be satisfactory, he was left by the doctor at nine o'clock. This "heavy sleep" is described by Mr. Stafford's man-servant as being continued up to two o'clock, and as being accompanied by snoring —a most unusual event. We next hear that this servant, sleeping in the adjoining room, is aroused by his master, who had risen from his bed and knocked at the door, teling him to get up, for he was bleeding from the . arm. It is found that several ounces of blood have been lost ; the arm is secured, and Dr. Griffin is again summoned. When he arrives, he finds Mr. Staf ford in a very alarming condition. He can be roused from a state of stupor with the greatest difficulty, and then only for a few seconds. Am monia and other stimulants are administered. Bastinado by a razor-strop and by similarly con struced deal batons is applied with more zeal than tenderness. The pulse is 140, and almost imper ceptible ; the respirations 6 per minute. Further medical aid is sought. Dr. Wilkinson attends ; the treatment above described is continued for more than ten hours, when at about half-past six o'clock in the evening the symptoms of narcotism go off somewhat rapidly, leaving the patient exhausted. It may be mentioned here that the electro-magnet, the most easily applied, and the most successful of all agents in cases like the present, seems not to have been used. With reference to the further progress of t e symptoms, e i y t s i is be b a p , m m e e s n t t a i l o t n e ed ge , that h th er suppressedt e secret se of cretion the first 48 hour', that the patient entirely lost his desire for food, that his feet were very painful, and s condition, hditieisn,sltvrhenieghthhewhaismsgerlefaatlty reduced. tribut edte an ln ev th er i s. dose of laudanum, Mr. Stafford resolved to go to Dublin for further medical advice. He left Cral toe, his residence, described by Dr. Griffin as in " a low marshy situation on the banks of the Shannon," and far unsuitable to his recovery, on Tuesday, November 10th. He slept in Limerick or that night ; and on the following evening he reached Dublin. He was immediately seen by Sir Henry Marsh, who found him in a state of extreme debility, and who came to the conclusion that "he had travelled too soon, and that he was not fit for " such a journey as from Limerick. From Sir Henry Marsh's evidence at the inquest held on the body, we learn further that the secretion of the kidneys was albuminous ; and, from another source, that Mr. Stafford had been subject for some years to a deranged action of those organs. The patient never rallied, and died on the fourth day after his arrival in Dublin. The post-mortem examination, made by direction of the coroner, revealed the cause of the original pain—viz., bile-stones in the gall-bladder. The kidneys were found enlarged ; and the heart is described by Mr. George Porter as being " larger than natural, very soft, " its parieties greatly thinned, its substance easily torn. There " was a large quantity of fat on its right side." Mr. Porter adds, "from the result of the post-mortem examination, I would say he died of fatty degeneration of the heart." Dr. Robert Smith, who has paid attention to this subject, con firms Mr. Porter's opinion as to the state of the heart, saying : "It was far advanced in disease ; and I have seen death result from that cause in cases whore the heart was not nearly so far advanced in fatty degeneration." Sir H. Marsh testifying to the same point, says : "Bleeding and narcoic me , dicine did unquestionably debilitate him. It is my opinion that that debility did contribute to his death ; but if he had had a perfectly sound heart he would have recovered it all." Guided by these opinion s, the jury agreed in finding that the de ceased died a natural death ; and that Dr. Griffin was free from blame as to the treatment which he had adopted. —Lancet. DESTRUCTION OF FARM PRODUCE.—A fire broke out in a stackyard at Newark, about mid-way between the church and the Great Northern Railway station, between 10 and 11 o'clqck on the evening of the 1&11 inst. The militiamen in the town were called up by the sound of the bugle, and hundreds of people burned to the spot, but owing to the difficulty experienced from several causes in obtaining water, and the bursting of the hove of the fire engine, it was not until the next morning that the flames were got under, and the engines had to play upon the embers throughout the following day. Four teen grain and fodder stacks were either consumed, or rendered unfit - for consumption. The live stock were promptly rescued on the first alarm of fire by Mr. Shep herd, of the Newark Arms, and a great d e al o f ant rounding p roperty was caved by the exertions of the firemen and their assistants. From the manner in which the fire commenced, and from circumstances connected i h its occurrence, it is believed to -have be en th e wog * of au incendiary.- CURRENCY RBFORM. MEETING AT RETFORD. ( From th , e:Denlyshire Courier, May 11, 1850. ) On Saturday last a highly respectable meeting of per- CODS favourable to a revision of Sir Robert Peel's Cur rency Bills wa, - held in the Town-hall, East Retford, for the purpose of petitioning beth Houses of Parlia ment on the subject.' Shortly after 5 o'clock, the hour at which the meeting was called, a numerous and highly respectable company of merchants and agriculmists of the town and neigh bourhood were present, amongst whom we noticed W. Fisher, Eeq., the Mayor ; W. Glutton, Esq., Edwin stowe ; the Re,. J. Twelle, Vicar of Eaton ; Mr. Coun cillor Wilkinson, honorary secretary of the Retford Cur rency Society ; J. Me., Esq., Retford ; Mr. J. Lister, Morton Gr ange ; M r. T. Denman, Bevercoate ; Mr. R. Wightman, Tor worth; Mr. F. Whits, juo, Retford ; Mr. R. Baker, Garnston ; Mr. Cox ; Mr. Smith, Rother ham ; Mr. G. Johnson, Morton ; Mr. Councillor Hutch ineon, Retford; Mr. E. Hodgkinson ; Mr. T. Hodgkin son ; J. Walker, E:q., Loand ; Mr. J. Holmes, Ret ford ; Mr. H. Cottana, Morton ; Mr. John Wiegman, Elksley, &c. JOHN Mime Esq., having been unanimously called to the chair, said he did not take the chair from his own knowledge of the subject they were met upon ; but he would at once call upon. the Rev. Mr. Teed's, vicar of Eaton, to state to the meeting its objects, aid what they proposed to have done. The Rev. Mr. Tweens on rising wag received with ap plausses He said : I am always most happy to have Mr. Mee in the chair at our meetings, but I also al ways re gret to hear him speak deprecatingly of his knowledge of this subject, because I feel assured that though he may not be prepared to enter into details, or to reply to every sophism that may be urged, be does fully understand all tLe great principles of the question, and sees their im portant bearing on the welfare of the nation. Though, gentlemen, I have much pleasure in again meeting you, that feeling is mingled with one of deep convic tion of the depressing circumstances under which any portion of the agricultural body must at present as semble, I know that it is impossible for a farmer to have to sell his produce without profit, or per haps at a loss, to have to pay his rent out of capital or from his hardly earned savings, to look back on the past year without satisfaction, and to look forward to future years with gloomy satisfaction, without his very existence being embittered by the difficulties of his position—l can without affectation say that I do sin cerely enter into the feelings of an industrious and intelligent tenant farmer who finds that he is being ground to dust between the upper and nether mill stone of high taxes, rates, and rent on the one hand, and low prices on the other, and that no effort of his own can rescue him from this condition. And it is to endea vour by union to devise means of escape, to secure to every industrious farmer, tradesmen, and labourer the just reward of his exertions, that we meet together to-day. Gentlemen, the present session of Parlia ment has been one of bitter disappointment to every one who looked to Parliament for relief. It is fast passing away nothing to relieve the distress of the country has been effected ; nothing will be effected. In the meanwhile from one end of the country to the other we hear from the agriculturists the declaration that " something must be done "--e --" something must be done or we shall be ruined." Now, it is to dechre what that something is that we meet together. \lre say, that at least one great cause of the existing distress is the unjust, absurd, and ruinous monetary system established by Peel's bills of 1819 and 1844. (Cheers.) That is what we wish to reform. Ours is a clear, definite, understandable object. We put our finger on the grievance, and we are prepared to point out the remedy. And we think, aloe, teat if the agricultural body is true to itself, and true t• the country, that remedy may be obtained. Allow me to call your attention to the present state of the agricultu rists. You are, as it appears tome, placed in a position in which, for the filet time for the last 30 years, your in terests and the general interests of the country are be come strictly identical. During the tone of a protective duty on corn it was possible for the agricultural 1 iterest to be in a comparatively prosperous condition when the other interests of the country were depressed. This is no longer the case. The farmers will in future prosper just as the nation prospers. trade, commerce, and the manufacturing interests decline, you will cutler—if they flourish, you will reap the aenetie I speak not of a few nionthe of high prices of agricultural produce, which may occasionally occur, but of the permanent condition of the agricultural interest. It wi.l he effected by the general condition of the country. If, therefore, you wish to take, an enlightened view of your position, if you wish to secure your beat interests, Ali to recure them per• manently, you will seek to do so by a ivocating such measures as may secure the general prosperity et the nation. You will renounce all clans legi-lation, de cline to take pert in any scheme which may involve injury to any other body of oar fellow-countrymen, and endeavour to promote those objects which may advance the general welfare. (Mar, hear.) The state of things which I to-day represent as your posi tion was foreseen with great sagacity by Bir James Graham in 1826 —he foresaw that the time must come when the interests of the great agricultural body must be placed on the same footing as those of the coun try at large. The subject of the currency, he has ob served, " in its nature intricate and foreign to the taste of country gentleinee." " But," said he in 1820. " I am certain that before long the whole question of eur currency must be forced on the attention of tire Legisla ture by the landowners themselves, If they mein to pre serve their estates." Now let facts bear witness to the sagacity of this opinion. A grand tran-fer of property has already taken pl a ce from the landowners to the monied interest. Jones' Loyd, (Lord 0 verstone) the re puted author of Peel's Bill of 1844, can ride many miles on his immense estate on Northamptonshire—and his is not a solitary instance. As is a lways the case the weakest are the first to suffer. The Irish landowners are the weakest in the British empire, and what is taking place in Ireland I Why, within a few weeks three very large landed proprietors, the Earls of Portarlington, Mount. cashed, and Kingston will be divested of their estates under the operation of the Encumbered Estates Com mission. The encumbrances on Lord Mountcaehel'e estate are stated at 275,9144._ hose on Lord Kingston's at 350,0001. I well remember visiting the magnificent mansion and domain of Lord Kingston in the south of Ireland. The house is one of the most splendid in the country, the park opens upon a s quare which forms a part of the town of Mitchelstown ; to this park all the inhabi tants are freely admitted, and one-halt of the square con• sists of 17 houses, called the College, endowed by the Kingston family for respectable eirso' ;s whose circum stances are reduced, and who have a house free of rent and kept in repair, and an allowance of 401. a year. The asiefortunes of the Kingston family have for years pro duced the greatest possible distress among many hun dreds of persons in the town and vicinity. That is one case. There are 733 applications for sales of estates under the Commission in Ireland. Gentlemen, it is to preserve the estates of the landowner■ to their present possessors, to prevent a state of things in this country similar to that which is actually taking place in Ireland, that we seek to obtain a revision of the currency laws. It might be sup• posed thatthe landholders would take oars of themselves —hut they have not done rm. Hear Sir J. Graham again in his speech in the 'Jesse of Commons, in Feb. 21,1850 "I have always contended and the hon. member for North Warwickshire (Mr. R. Spooner) will agree with me, that the most improvident bargain that could have been made by any great class was that which the laud• lords made in 1819, when, in consideration of an exclusive corn law, which gave them the sole posses sion of the home market up to 80e. a-quarter, they c onsented to the restoration of a depreciated standard of value—a standard which had been depreciated for a quarter of a century. That was an improvident bargain I thought then, and I think so now. They are about to preserve their class interests by asking fur the re-imposi tion of the corn laws, in the vain hope of advancing the va l ue of their property at the expense of, and in opposi tion to, the entire community. Let them be on their guard. Now, what was the improvement bargain of 1819 to which Sir James Graham refers That bargain was a money law to make everything cheap, and a corn law to keep corn dear. That bargain was made by the landowners in ignorance of the effects of Peel's 8.11 of 1819. They were told by the supporters of that bill that it wouH only cause an alteration of 3to 4 per cent. They did not sea what Mr. Mat thias Attwood. with the sagacity of a philosopher and a statesman demonstrated would be the ruinous effects of that measure. The currency question being "in its nature intricate and foreign to the taste of country gentlemen," they did not look so narrowly into the terms of the bargain ao did Sir James Graham. And now, after years of constantly recurring distress, after a painful struggle bet ween opposing interests, after a period of p litic.dl agitation, which his of itself most injuriously interfered with the industrial pursuits of the people, the country has forced the agricultural body to relinquish that part of their bargain which was for their advantage. Now then, gentlemen, it behove s you, before landlords and tenants are involved in one common ruin, it behoves you to endeavour, by every means in your power, to obtain a relinquishment of the other side of the bargain —that part which is become your bad side of the bar gain—i e., to obta in a tho rough reformation of the monetary system established by Peel's Bill of 1819. (Cheers.) And be assured that them are others be-ides yourselves who aro convinced that this is the most im portant o bject you can pursue. I receive communices• tions almost daily from various parts of the country informing me of the interest which is being excited on this qnestien. I will beg leave to read a short note which I believe expresses the present opinion of a large body of farmers at this time, " Until very lately," says the writer, I h av e been a quiet far mer , no t me ddii n g in any way with things unconnected with the occupation of my farm. - I have expended a great sum in straighten ing hedges, making roads, draining, building, &c., doing what I hoped would ultimately pay me, but acting somewhat upon the belief that in this outlay I was doing only my duty to society. The great depreciation which has lately taken place in the value of agricultural pro perty and produc e has p roved to roe that I have acted una isely—and I should still do so if I waited apatheti cally the ruin which awaits thefarmers as a class. I have a family to care for, and I see no reason why either in jus tice or policy the farmer should lose caste or sink indi , vidually in the nation. With these feelings, I have, to a certain extent, turned political agitator in my neigh bourhood, and 1 have stimulated my brother farmers around me to a show of energy and determination. We have at several public meetings discussed the grievances which affect the agriculturists, as a body, but there are several points which bear heavily upon us which also affect the community at large. The Currency, I believe, is one of them ; and to this source do I look, under pro vidence, for ultimate relief. I am not the only farmer in this neighbourhood entertaining the belief that rill other questions raised by farmers, as malt tax, property tax, Protection, are secondary to the question of Currency." Now, I believe the highly respectable and intelligent author of this note to represent very fairly the feeling which is every day growing and increasing amongst the agricel uriets ; and it rests with you to do every thing you can to strengthen this feeling. The Na tional Currency Reform Association in London is doing a great deal for the cause. A. highly respectable, numerous, and intelligent meeting was held on Saturday last at Reading, and a society was formed. In Wiltshire, Suffolk, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Harts, and in several of the large towns—Liverpool and others—the subject is commanding attention. Mr. Dun can is indefatigable in his exertions in town, and all that can be effected by talent and devotion to the cause. will be accomplished if the London Society is properly sup ported. We have also staunch adherents in this part of the country. I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the able writer (Alasseds), in the Derbyshire Courier, for his efficient advocacy of this question. He Rhone himself the true friend of the farmer. I qaite admit the value of his sug gestion of the importance of persuading Sir J. Graham to take up this question in earnest, but no man can do justice in the House of Commons to the currency question unless the country plainly and distinctly signi fies its intention to support him. I hope the country is becoming every day batter informed on the sutject and more alive to its importance. Bat to revert to the pre sent state of affairs. Nothing will be done in this session. Every attempt for the relief of the distress has failed ; Disraeli's plan fell to the ground, Cobden's financial reform came to nothing, and Lord John Russell recently challenged the Protectionists to bring forward a motion to restore the corn laws. He knows his security—for all the great parties, Woigs, Peelites, and Cob ten's party are pledged to free trade, and whether the country pros pers or suffers they must now stand by their opinion. rhe present Parliament was elected inthe autumn of 1847, so that it has three years' more existence. I would ask you calmly to consider what chance there is of obtaining a re-enactment of the corn-laws in this Parliament But what is the chance of doing so in a new Parliament! My belief is that the longer the people, both the middle classes aad the working classes, are accustomed to cheap bread, the more unwilling they will be to relinquish it. And what will be the result of a general election! I hold in my hand the second annual report of the Free hold Land Society, which has been established at Bir mingham, for the purpose of " buying land wholesale, and retailing it to the members at the wholesale price." From this report it appears that 29 societies of the kind are in existence in various places. From the returns made from 25 of these places, it seems that about 11,500 shares were subscribed for in October last, and that the number of members is rapidly increasing -11,500 shares for which ls. ed. each is paid weekly, gave an amount of 44,850/. a-year. Such a stun as this expended in the purchase of 40s. freeholds must, in a few yea.u, mate rially increase the constituencies of the counties. Should trade decline—and the depressed state of agriculture must act most injuriously on the home trade—the next Parliament is net unlikely to be less favourably disposed towards a corn law than the present. But .why should these new voters be less anxious for the preserve Lion of the institutions of the country than the old ones. Only lit the country prosper—as with a good mouptary system we deleve it would—and let every working man get a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, and those 40.. freeholders would feel that they have a stake in the country, and would become conservative in principle. The importance to the agriculturists of the working classes being well ()treats hardly he estimated. If there are in Great Britain and Ireland five millions of working men, an increase in their wages of merely 2s. a week gives 26,000,0001. of which the greater part will. pro bably be spent in food. The wages paid in Sheffield are now more than double what they were recently. Take the number of working men in Sheffield at 28,000, and an increase in their wages of 10g. a week would; give a sum of 700,000/. a year—a considerable portion of which must he paid to the agricultural producer. (Hear, hear.) Now, as to the present position of the currency question, let it be remembered that the Lords' report of 1847 has spoken decidedly in favour, at leao, of an alteration. Peel's system has had a fair trial of 30 years, and as Loid Ashburton said, has signally I will read the petition which I beg leave to subunit to you this eve ing. (Mr. T el lik here read the petition.) Now, as to the last drawee of the petition, I would observe that the aocumulation of money in the bank is quite unprecedented—an:l yet trade in general languishes. By the return of April the 20th, there was 16, 620, 601/. in gold and silver, and 2,537,5001. of bank notop, lying idle. I received, a day or two since, a communica ion from a London banker, in which he says, " there is s little employ ment at this tints for money perm meetly, that altnongh our broker lent yesterday 10,000/. at 11 per cent. I r two or three weeks, yet it cannot get profitably dis parsed on account of the fear that exists of some change suddenly calling it back again. Gold, at the market price, would relieve this state of things, and spread satis faction over the country. It would remove the dread of panic, and restore e.mfidence." Now, what says Lord Bacon 1 " Above all things good policy is to be used, that tbo treasures and monies in a State be not gathered into fe hand.: for otherwise a State may have a good stock, and yet starve ; and money is like muck, ne good, expect it be spread." It is to remedy the evils of a system by which money lies in heaps, and at one time cannot be obtained, an the Lords' c immittee stated, without pay ing 20 er 80 per cent., and at another time cannot be employed at 2 per cent, that we call upon Parliament. It is the want of confidence, whice at present acts so in juriously on all interests. The railway interest affords a striking in tense. While railways, the best managed, and with ample security, have difficulty in obtaining money on any terms, London bankers cannot obtain '2 per cent., and are afraid to lend money for More than very short periods. I may observe with regard to railway property, which is now so much d e p resse d, h ow muc h evil has unjustly been attributed to railway expendi ture. The country has spent, we are told, all its money in railways. Now the Lords Committee spoke of 76,390,000/. as an "enormous sum," to be spent on rail ways in two hours and a half. But what were the sumac expended during the war In 1813, we actually ex pends d 130,000,000/.-68 millions being raised in taxes, and 82 millions in loan—and since then we have had 36 years peace, and the real property of the country ham, we know, greatly increased. But, as Mr. C. Rowcroft has 'stated, the amount of money raised and expended during the 18 years, from 1797 to 1815, was no less . than 1451 millions, and of this 630 millions were expended on the war—were sunk and lost in carrying on warfare. But the whole amount of capital expended on railways from 1826 to 1843, is less than 200 millions. And in-tea lof being fired away in powder and shot, this sum has been spent in our own country in employing labour, stimu lating trade, and providing a system of communica tion the most perfect ever witnessed, and tend ing in innumerable ways to increase the nation', wealth. With a steady and safe monetary system we might have obtained all the advantages of railways, and have escaped the ruinous depreciation of this kind of property which has taken place since 1847. There is one other remark which I venture to make with respect t 3 this question. It is sometimes said, "If those things are of such i ro• portance, how is it that they have not obtained the sanction of statesmen I" To We it may be replied that the science which regulates the distribution of wealth, and ensures to labour its just rights, and to commerce its most profitable exercise, is one in which much yet re mains to be fully demonstrated. Adam Smith, Maccol looh, Mill, and others, are authors of recent date, and left much tote yet learned on the subjects of which they treated. And if other parts of political economy are im perfectly understood, we need not be surprised if mone tary science, perhaps the most intricate and sub tle of all, has not yet obtained the attention to which its importance undoubtedly entitles it. Truth, how ever, is not less truth, before it obtains the eanctien of great names, and the currency of popular accept ance. But if an appeal, in favour of the monetary sys tem we advocate, be made to authorities, we are not without them. Lycurgus adopted the eystem of repre sentative money, by destroying the malleability of his ornmodity. iron coin, and rendering it valueless as, a c forPlatodomestic circulation , recommended a double while leh currency, te pr n e e ci o o f u n i o v metal,alu e , were, he said, useful only for external trade. Aristotle agreed with the system we advocate ri , in several partic el a rs. From Lord Burleigh , Lo Barren. and Lord Coke, down to King William 111., Mr Newton, the our monetarycourse pursued syse m wasby these Locke, great and r n S e i nr I with 'lac regard to as Mr. A by tt w th o o od bn h i a l i s e n s i h . o ts w . e d n j i r a e m ct i l a y F o p r p a o n s k e l d in oo one e ha o t f adopted the most cautious and sagacious of men, wrote a treatise on "The nature and necessity of paper currency ;" he attributed the prosperity of the American colonies to the use of such a currency, and affirmed at the bar of the House of Commons that its withdrawal had, by the ruin it spread, alienated the colonies from the mother country. The younger Pitt, the ablest financial Minister perhaps that this country ever possessed, carried the country safely through a period of unexampled difficulty by the assistance of a representative paper currency. Sir Walter Scott, in 1826, by his Malachi Malagrowther letters, prevented the Government from overturning that system of paper money, by which the prosperity of his native country had been so essentially promoted. Great names cannot give sanction to error, but they adorn the truth. If our opponents appeal to authorities, w e as k them to show us h i g her authorities than those I have mentioned. (Cheers.)
