" ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED WITHOUT WIRES; SPRINGS OR CLASPS: LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, And Pilling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Siliceum. EONS. DE BERRI, SURGEON DENTIST, 51, Duke-street, NEAR SLATER STREET, Liverpool, (from the Firm of DQ BERRI and Co., 121, Regent-street, London,) respectfully informa. the Nobility, Gentry,,and the Public, that they continue 11 up the cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Sit' um, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ;it is placed i the cavity in an almost liquid" state, and in a few sec n gets hard, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, arresti all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation extraction unnecessary. The Minenit not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents ejec "tually that unpleasant t a i n t of the breath which invariably ac companies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there is none more destructive in their effect, or more generally preva lent, than Scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth Ache and Decay: to those so affected Mons. DE BERRI and Co. have to inform them that they can effectually remove this destroying complaint by asingle application without the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting .the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,—at the following Paris charges : £ A single Artificial T oo th 10 0 A complete set 5 5 0 A complete set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate l5 0 0 An entire set of Natural Teeth, highly finished, iu the first style, with fine gold sockets usually charged , 10 guineas • 20 0 0 The use of Artificial Teeth,' in some instances, has been found objectionable by invalids taking medicines that have a tendency to discolour them, or in the performance of opera tions which compel their removal, perhaps. in the presence of an attendant or domestic. .

MESSRS. PERRY an d C o., SUR GEONS, may be per sonally consulted from Nine in the Morninvill Ten at Night, and on Sundays from Nine till Two, at No. 23, SLATER-STREET, near Duke-str ' Liverpool, (private entrance first dour up th e p assa ;) No. 2, Bale street, Lower Mosley-street, near to . Peter's Church, Manchester, and N 0.4, Great Charles, ! , s eet, Birmingham: of whom may be had (gratis) with each bix of pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhoea, (fleets, and Stricture, Tin eluding Practical Observations on Seminal Weakness, arising from early abuses, so that all persons can obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety. It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d. and lls. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal diseases,—gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness, in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secresy, and safety. The certainty with which they are continually administered can be attested by many thousands. The Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ ent functions of the body, expelling the grosser humours, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mos sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a complete cure, with Out the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventative, by moving, the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY ' Surgeons, continue to di rec t t h e i r s t u di es to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and .indis criminate indulgence of the paisions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, sale, and speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health. PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated:sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic, and glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blood. These Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and captains of ships, the more so, as they will keep good in all climates any length of time.

The Toot hach instantaneously cured, and Decayed Teeth filled with Mineral Marmoratum, and made completely sound, without pain, heat,or pressure. Monsieur LE DRAY AND Co., Surgeon-Dentists, beg leave to acquaint the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they supply Artificial, Mineral, or Natural Teeth, and continue to restore Decayed Teeth with their celebrated Miner al Marmora tuni, which is placed in the cavities without pain, heat, or preisure, and instantly hardens into enamel, arresting all fur , ther prograss of decay, converting a stump into a sound Tooth, and lasting many years. In cases of Toothach, they are ena bled to afford instantaneous relief by a single application of their Concentrated Essence; and as there is no complaint mure general or more distressing in its nature than Toothach, the value of this remedy cannot be sufficiently estimated, when due considetation is given to the number of Teeth that ate daily extracted, owing to the very prevalent notion that there is no other remedy for this painful affection. Mons.

The Archbishop of YORK presented many numerously-signed petitions, for the abolition of the system of negro apprenticeship. The Residence of Clergyßill was read the third time and passed. Lord LYNDHURST inquired whether Lord Glenelg would blend Lord Brougham's bill with the one he had introduced re garding negro apprentices. Lord GLENELG said that he saw no necessity for doing so. Lord LYNDHURST thereupon expressed a hope that those who supported Lord Glenelg's bill would not thereby be precluded from supporting Lord Brougham's bill, if so disposed. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice of a motion for copies of any correspondence with the government regarding the Bishop of Malta and the governorship of that island. Lord WHARNCLIFFE intimated that he should to-day move for the correspondence between the poor-law commissioners and an extensive union. Lord GLENELG said, in answer to the Earl of Ripon's inquiry that there would be no objection to produce the further papers received regarding the state of the Canadas. Their lordships then resolved into committee on Lord Glenelg's bill, regarding the better regulation and protection of negro ap prentices. The Marquis of SLIGO, &c., proposed important amendments. The bill went through committee, and their lordships ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tuunspa v. Mr. C. WOOD stated, in answer to Mr. H. Grattan's inquiry, that, although there were already more vessels passing between England and Ireland than at any former period, there would be added two superior vessels on the Liverpool station. Mr. P.

Mr. WA L LACE moved the appointment of a "select committee to inquire into the nature and extent of the duties performed by the 30 stipendiary sheriffs in Scotland, who are pa►d out of the exchequer; also, into the ❑ature and extent of the duties per formed by 5 2stipendiary substitutes of the aforesaid sheriffs, who are also paid out of the exchequer ; and report how far it will be advisable to continue the system of performing by deputy the duties of sheriffs in Scotland. The motion was strongly opposed by the Lord Advocate, &c.; but the hon. member persisted in pressing it to a division. It was negatived by—Ayes 19. Noes 53; Majority agait st it 34. Mr. WA RD, pursuant to notice, called attention to the Madras and Calcutta petition, complainin g of the act of the East India legislative council, No. 11, of 1836, much attacked in India as the " Black Act," and brought to this country by Mr. Thurton. He condemned it, as depriving the British -born subjects inhabit. log the Mofussil country, or the provinces, of the right of appeal to her Majesty's courts ; and be moved for a select committee to inquire into the allegations of the petition, and to report in what manw'r and to what extent it affected the rights of British born inhabitants of India, the prerogatives of the crown, and the interests of the united empire. Sir J. Honnouss resisted the motion, and ridiculed the pe tition. He declared that the "Black Act," as it was now called, was forgotten, except when revived by an occasional letter from Mr. Turton; that instead of affecting all the inhabitants, it only' concerned those in the Mufussil country or provinces; that the power of appeal had been used only twice in 23 years, when the judges were obliged to send back the cases for the law to be ex pounded by the company's court; and that had not the act, No. 11, bee❑ passed, thegovernor and council would have been guilty of dereliction of duty.- The motion was discussed at great length, several hon. mem bers speaking fur and against it, but eventually it was withdrawn by the bun. mover. 'Th. other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. Lord BROUGHAM presented several petitions for the abolition of negro apprenticeship. The Bishop of LoNnoiv presented many similar petitions at the same time, strongly supporting them, and maintaining that it was highly desirable that the system should cease as speedily as possible. Lord WHARNCLIFFE was prepared to support the question of abolition in August, unless strong reasons were adduced for continuing it.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMOMS.-FRIDAT Gen. LYGON reported, from the Tamworth election committee, that. Capt. A'Court had been duly returned. There were then, again, presented several petitions for the abolition of the negro apprenticeship system, also several peti tions for the repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act, and against the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill. Mr. HUME, at the request of Lord John Russell, deferred the County Rate Bill, until after the Easter recess. Lord J. RUSSELL intimated, in answer to the inquiry of Sir R. Peel, that be proposed the Easter recess to be from Wednes day April 11, till the Tuesday week following. - Sir R. PEEL, after some interesting observations, followed by remarks from Lord J. RUSSELL, eulogistic of Colonal Shaw Kennedy, inquired whether the principle which had been acted on in his nomination would guide the appointment of that gentleman's suc c es sor as h ea d o f t h e cons tabulary force, Ireland. Lord J. RUSSELL answered in the affirmative. Lord J. RUSSELL said he should hereafter bring forward the Corporation (Ireland) Bill, and press a division on it before Easter, if he was to understand that it was intended to move the extinction of municipal corporations; otherwise tie should let it stand over till after Easter, and proceed with the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill. Sir R. PEEL expressed the hope that the government would intimate a bill declaratory of the principles and law to be ob served with respect to disputed elections, and suggested a select committee on the subject. Lord J: RUSSELL said he should not hope much from such a committee. The house then once more resolved into committee on the 'Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill. The ieinaining, clauses, with the exception of those that had been deferred, were considered and adopted with some verbal amendments, the committee after wards proceeding with the consideration of the postponed clauses, beginning at the 26th. The remainder of the sitting was chiefly occupied with the consideration of the bill. THEATRE ROY AL—Last night the Theatre Royal opened for the season, and we understand there was a very good house. Mr. Power, the well known actor of Irish characters, is engaged, and appears to night in the comedy of " the Irish Ambassador," as Sir Patrick Plenipo, A. D. C. ; and afterwards in the farce of the " Omnibus," as Pat Rooney. A spirited season, so far as the engagement of "stars" of all magnitudes can make it so, is promised on the part of the management. THE CA USE Lisr.—There are 51 causes entered on the first or Salford list, which is extremely light, and no less than 125 on the West Derby list, which is unusually heavy. In the first list the causes as far as number 43 are got through, 8 only remaining to be tried, whi c h it is:expected will be go t th roug h to day. So far, the Salford list has proved what the lawyers call an exceedingly " rotten" one: a number of the causes having fallen through, and many of them being of the most trumpery character. In the \second list there are six special jury causes entered, and seven indictments against the chemical nuisances ; all of which, if tried, will occupy much time. It is anticipated that the assizes will continue for three weeks. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOLS.—We perceive that the Rev. 11. M'Neile will preach a sermon on behalf of these schools on Thursday evening next. The day school contains upwards of 300 children, catechized weekly by the Rev. .1. Stafford, 8.A., there are also nearly 200 children in the Sunday school, these schools are situated in the roost densely populated part of the I town. They are, we are sorry to hear, nearly £3O in debt. -.- THEATBEROYAL, LIVERPOOL The Public is respectfully informed that the THEATRE IS OPEN FOR THE SEASON, and that Mr. POWER, the celebrated Irish Comedian, (of the Theatres-Royal Covent garden and Drury-lane, &c.,) who is engaged for Ten Nights, will make his second Appearance here these two years. ryIHIS present TUESDAY, the 27th instant, the Entertain ments will commence with the new Comedy, in two acts, written by Charles Deane, Esq., and performed last season at the Theatre-royal„ Couent-garden, with the greatest success, called THE COUNTRY SQUIRE.

LATEST FROM BUENOS AYRES.—Accounts were yes terday received in Liverpool from Valparaiso via Buenos Ayres, of the refusal on the part of the Chilian government to ratify the treaty of peace between that republic and Santa Cruz. The Chilians are understood to have been very much annoyed at the ignominious termination of the war, af ter all their blustering; but it is supposed that they will ultimately have to agree to the treaty. The British minister at Buenos Ayres had been re quested by Santa Cruz to use his influence in negotiat ing a peace between Peru and Buenos Ayres. THE CORN LAWS.—The Mercury of Friday last has devoted a column to the discussion of this subject. The article is one of those special originals, to which we are occasionally treated in grandpapa's journal, of which it is difficult to say anything in the way of criticism. The absurdities concentrated within the compass of the arti cle are so_numerous, that we should have left it to sink into oblivion by the force of its innate dulness, had not the editor of the Mercury ventured to cavil at the logic of the Standard, and to pronounce our arguments on the subject of the repeal of the corn laws as false positions dogmatically asserted. We shall shortly prove that the Mercury displays the most superlative ignorance on the subject—that it seeks to delude its readers by partial statements and distortion of facts—and that it .is as de ficient in logic as it is in common sense or honesty of principle. All the radical journals, in common with the Mercury, while descanting upon the presumed benefits which are associated with a repeal of the corn-laws, take especial care to avoid every semblance of reasoning on the sub ject, but deal exclusively in vague generalities, confident ;assertions, and declamatory appeals to the prejudices of the " people." This renders it difficult to reply to any article on the subject with which we meet in the columns of our liberal contemporaries. Thus the Mercury la ments the indifference of the people on the subject of the repeal of these laws ; and attributes that indifference either to " an imperfect acquaintance with the baneful operation" of those laws, or to " a sullen conviction that is useless to address Ibeir petitions to an assembly who have a direct interest ,in the perpetual ion of a monopoly most injurious to the general prosperity." After such strong language as this one might reasonably expect that the editor of the Mercury would endeavour to prove that the corn laws were " baneful in their operation," ~. ~. and that they " perpetuated a monopol_v roost injurious to the general prosperity." He, however, does nothing of the kind. Any attempt to do so would have only ex posed still further his consummate ignorance. Again, the Mercury observes that the tax upon corn is one which " bears incomparably heavier upon the poor and laborious classes than upon the rich and inactive part of the community." This can only be true in the sense that all taxes indiscriminately must bear heaviest upon those who are in the worst condition to meet them. But it is an utter falsehood to assert that this is " a tax, which, whilst it grievously enhances the price of bread to labourers and manufacturers,. at the same time, by crippling our trade and manufactures, diminishes their means of purchasing the staff of life." We say that this is a plain untruth. It is sheer humbug to say that the labourer would be in a better condition if the price of bread were much lo Ner. He certainly would expe rience the benefit of a reduction in the price of bread, if he could always command the same rate of wages; but where is the man that is such a fool as to maintain that the rate of wages would not be regulated by the price of corn ? The fact is, that cheap bread so far from being an advantage to the labourer, it is a serious evil. The testimony of all ages will bear us out in this assertion. There was a time in the history of our own country when as much bread could be had for a shilling as can now be procured for twenty-four shillings, or, in other words, when a good family loaf could be purchased for a penny. Those must surely, according to the theory of our radi cal philosophers, have been glorious days for the labour ing classes. They must have enjoyed, in a degree to which our present starveling race of English►nen are total strangers, the blessing of abundance. Far from it. The period to which we allude was one of unparal leled distress. The fare of the labourer was then much worse than it is at present, and for this simple reason, that the wages of a labouring man were then only a penny a day! Again, there was a period within the memory of the editor of the Mercury, when bread was thrice as dear as it is now. Surely that must have been a time of great suffering and privation to the poor labourer. Far from it. How could that be ? Wages were double what they are at present. We dwell the more particularly on this point because an attempt was made at the last election, and no doubt will be renewed hereafter, to delude the labouring classes, by raising the cry of " cheap bread." Our readers will remember that a large and a small loaf were carried on poles at the head of Ewart and Elphinstone's procession, to indicate that these gentlemen were willing that the poor should fare better than the conservatives wished them to do. With equal justice might our conservative friends have carried at the head of their procession two bags of money, one a small one, and the other a large one, to show that the radicals would diminish the amount of the wages of the labouring man, whilst the conserva tives wished to keep it up. But it may be urged that although a reduction in the price of corn might be followed by a diminished scale of wages, still the stimulus which the repeal of the corn laws would give to our manufacturing interests would make work more abundant, and render the labourer more comfortable in his circumstances. We deny this also. Even supposing that our " crippled trade and manufac tures" were free from the supposed disadvantage of hav ingto would contend b against the e ol coi n mu la: l i i , s, w t o h r e se po t s h i a t u ion it o is f labourer the un der the present system. Let us take it for granted a nte that d a repeal of the corn laws would be followed b reduc tion of one-half in the price of corn. is there a labour ing man in Liverpool so stupidly blind as to imagine that his employer would not take advantage of the circum stance to lower his wages ? And it should be remem bered that, although corn might be procured for half the money it costs at present, other articles, especially those of foreign production, such as tea, coffee, tobacco, would retain their present prices; so that the condition of the labouring man would be much worse than it is at present. But even on this point the advocates of the repeal of On.rcsaiabMllMKlAta c ilut h ßufe e n s n t y i c t irn o li n n s u is t t o e n ocy o . f price. If such be the case, what becomes of the argu it ment of those who say that the repeal of the corn laws is necessary in order to enable us to compete with the low price of labour on the continent ? Of course we deny that the corn laws have operated injuriously upon our foreign trade. On this point the Mercury quotes the following passage from Mr. Villiers' speech : Mr. Villiers observed, that "his charge against the corn laws his charge that they limited the foreign trade of this country; and charge against the legislature was, that they were pursuing for the last twenty-five years, a course which was injurious to the manufacturers of England. He hoped the manufacturers would speak out on this occasion. In private the manufacturers had no hesitation in saying that the corn law was destroying their trade. He hoped, theu, they would declare openly what was their candid opinion ou this question ; for they had now come to this point, that they must make up their winds whe ther they would abandon their foreign trade or their corn law." Now, the official returns afford no justification %%fiat ever of this language. These documents, in fact, tell us quite a different tale. They demonstrate that our fo reign trade can not only exist, but flourish and increase with unexampled prosperity, notwithstanding the exist ence of the corn laws. The official value of the manu factures and produce of the united kingdom, exported in the three veers 1814, 1815, and 1816, was £116,867,034, being an average of £39,955,678 in each year. The official value of similar expo rts being i an intleyears 1834, 1835, and 1836, was £237,438 , 119 , averag1e05; £79,146,039 in each year. Thus it appears that in twenty years, notwithstanding the operation of the corn laws, the quantity of our exports has more than doubled But if we confine our observation to the most important branch of our manufactures, we shall find evidence of a still more conclusive nature to prove the fallacy and ab surdity of the positions advanced by Mr. Villiers, and echoed by the Liverpool Mercury. The quantity of raw cotton used in spinning in 1817, according to the estimate of Mr. Kennedy, was 1 10,000,000 lbs. lii the year 1837, the quantity upon which duty was paid was 376,019,680 lbs. How does this bear out the rigmarole of the Mercury as to this " injurious monopoly ?" On the other hand, we maintain that the repeal of the corn laws would be manifestly injurious to our manufac turing interests. This will be evident to every one who reflects for a moment upon the consequences which would result from the ruin of the landed interests. That our readers may form some idea of the magnitude of these interests, and of the amount of property which would be placed in jeopardy by the abolition of that pro tection which is at present enjoyed by the British corn grower, we will place before them the following statements from the statistical writings of Mr. Montgo mery Martin : IiSTISIATED WEALTH OF THE LANDED INTEREST. 3,000,000 labourers depeudant upon agriculture at 10s. per week 250,000 farmers whose iucumes average £2OO cash yearly 30,000 landed proprietors, rental averaging £3OO each yearly Amount of income annually dependent on agri .... £151.900,000 Per annum. 50,000.000 quarters of grain, raised annually in the United Kingdom, at 365. per quarter £ 90,00,000 50,000,000 quarters of grain, requires for each quarter, 16s worth of manual labour to raise it 40,000,000 20,000,1)00 acres of tillage land, requires an outlay of £5 per acre yearly 100,000,000 2,000,000 of horses in the United Kingdom, ave raging £l2 los. each 7,000,000 horned cattle averaging £6 10s. each., 45.000,000 32,000,000 sheep, averaging £1 Ils. 6d.

But there is another point in which the importance of the landed interest may be viewed—that of i*Lißtit 1, 1831:i.' population. The population of the united kingdom, as before stated, may be taken at 26,000,000; and from the jug , Tres of Mr. Martin, it has been satisfactorily ascertained that 20,iJ )0,000 —nearly four-fifths of the people—are dependent on agricul- tine. VITe may, therefore, will demand of what benefit it would be to the manufacturing interests to annihilate the the greater portion of our national wealth ? As the Mercury has ventured to sneer a.! " the politi cal economy of the statesman of the Crescent" we will afford him a few corroborative proofs of the soundiwss of that political economy. In support of our views v. -; shall quote the three conservative papers of the largest crcu lation out of London, each of them published in on -:the principal manufacturing and commercial towns the United Kingdom. From the Manchester Courier we extract the folkiw- ing : "But is there any reason to suppose, if our corn-lays were repealed, that foreign powers would remove the restrict. )ns Which they have imposed upon our manufactures? If the aci,o cates of repeal could produce some proof that a relaxalisa; of our system would be followed by corresponding liberality on the part of foreign nations, they would be armed with a as :ch stronger argument in favour of their object, than is tote fs) nd in the indulgence of vituperative attacks on the Linde.] iuf But no such proof is offered. The fact is, that foreigt, ststes are as anxious to encout age domestic manufactures as ;re -.re; and they adopt the usual means of encouraging native ents.-, -se , by imposing duties upon foreign prepuce. One of the most extraordinary passages in the speech uf Villiers is the following : 'rile (British) manufacturer has only a protection of `;'' or at most 30, per cent., whilst the landowner has a proteseis -, 80, if not 100, per cent.. The manufacturers of Great Bri , do not wish for protection; they repudiate the principle of nosing duties in order to give their productions an undue re ference over those of other countries.' "It is laughable enough to see a person talking of a duty of 20 or 30 per cent., as a mere trifle, a proof that our manufactuis rs do not wish for protection. But the question is not whether ' re protecting duty be 10, 20, or 50 per cent. : but whether i Je sujicient for the purpose. The fact that the smallest of 1.. - 3 ,3 duties is large enough to protect one branch of our tr-;de i 10 proof that it would be equally effective for the protection of a o ther. It is a gross fallacy, however, to maintain that toe it. d owner has a protection of SO or 101) per cent. That it b::s sn as high within the last two or three years is true ; but outlet • very same law by which the duty has risen to 100 per cssto upon the market price, it has fallen as low as one shilling quarter. The truth is, the British grower has the least protet 0 , a from foreign competition at a period when, in consequenz )f the failure of his crops, he has the most need of it. But s: e legislature have taken care to guard the public from the effe 6 of those circumstances which are likely to raise the plies )f bread, by lowering the duty upon importation as the market - 1 " vances. This is a fact which those philosophers wbo are c. tinually complaining of the partiality of the legislature to e.e landed interest carefully keep out of view." In the Newcastle Journal we find the following " But what are the motives which induce these urea to wale war against the wealth, intelligence, and influence of the c o; -t' try? Our foreign trade, as may be seen by a reference to tables of exports, has been steadily increasing fur the last sea years; to America, our exports have been doubled within t'ss-t period, -whilst to Russia our exports have advanced Wiz £1,800,000 to £2,300,000, and a similar improvement has tak , os place in all our exportations to corn-growing countries. Neill =r is this state of things attributable to or consequent upon a la; ;e importation of corn; for it is proved by the same tables that in those years when our importation of corn has been greatcst, our exportation of manufactured goods has been least—a f.. et which proves more sat isfactorily than the most subtle reasonin.o of Mr. Villiers, or the philosophical disquisitions of Sir Willissal Molesworth, that the existing corn laws do nut act injuriouily on our foreign commerce. "But let us turn our attention to the effect of a repeal of Cie I corn laws on the manufacturer- and tradesman at home. I t must be plain, that if the demand created by the consumptio a among twenty millions of people, which as we have shewn 11 1.0 dependent on agriculture in this country, be abstracted frill' our home markets, our manufactures would be seriously ia..1 1- red, if not wholly annihilated. Besides, from whence are our muuufacturing population supplied? It is a fact which i/ i proved by observation and experience, that the disposable Pe: pulation of this country—those engaged in the cotton mills a• t I Manchester, in the woollen factories at Leeds, and at the forges _in Birmingham and Wolverhampton—are principally emigran ts from the rural districts and country villages. And, indeed, the great mortality which annually takes place in the large menu' factoring towns iii the kingdom, renders such a source of keep' up the numbers au indispensable auxiliary to the system.

The last authority which we shall quote is the Leeds Intelligencer, in which we find the following re' marks : " The argument of the advocates for opening the port is, that the foreigner would lay out in manufactures the money he re ceived for corn : that, consequently, our trade would increase: and that, by getting his work done at lower wages, the home manufacturer would be able to put the foreign manufactures out of his own market. To the working classes, as we have said, the bait of more work and cheap bread has been held out. nnr alwaysta oa fcr entertained s h " With regard to the first point, we think that the foreigner would much oftener take his money home than lay it out is England; and a portion of that money would soon be employed in raising manufactures in countries where there are at present few or none arising from want of capital. "We are still more confident on the second point. Foreign Governments would take good care that their infant manufac tures were not beaten down by the importation of English goods, for duties would he laid upon them in proportion to their cheap ness ; and thus we should receive no compensation whatever for the injury done to the home market by the ruin of the English agriculturist, and the " heavy blow and great discouragement" inflicted upon the land-owner. " The question as regards the workpeople we have already disposed of. If bread were cheaper, wages would be lower, and they would occupy the same relative position. "We are for no divided interests. " Live and let live," is a good motto. England cannot afford to lose her agriculture any more than her manufactures and commerce. These three papers were all published the very day after the Mercury denounced the statements of the STANDARD as " absurdities." We can only asssure our venerable grand-papa that we shall always take a delight in sharing such a charge with such respectable journalists as the editors of the papers which we have quoted. TESTIMONIAL OF ESTEEM.—It is with much pleasure we learn that the Rev. John Park, of the Scotch Kirk, Rodney Street, has been presented by the young men of his congre gation, in testimony of their esteem and regard for him as their pastor, with a beautiful bible written in eight various languages, viz. :—Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, Italian French, Span ish and English; with an appendix containing the Peschito edition of the Syriac New Testament and Prolegomena; which forms one splendid and unique volume, sumptuously yet taste fully bound in Turkey Morocco. The Bible was accompanied with that very excellent work by the Rev. S. T. Bloomfield, being a critical digest and synoptical arrangement of the most important Annotations on the New Testament, exegetical, philological and doctrinal. This work, which is in 8 vols., is• also very elegantly bound for the occasion. The presentation is as highly creditable to the young gentlemen as it is gratifying to the clergyman, who is so much respected by his bearers, as well for the able and talented manner in which he discharges his public duties as for his many amiable accomplishments and private virtues. Loss OF THE ELVIRA, INDIAMAN.—We regret to state, that this fine vessel, for Calcutta, which left this port on Friday last, in tow of a steam-boat, having on board a cargo estimated, we believe, at £BO,OOO, struck oh the outward bar in the new chan nel. The captain and pilot then determined to return to Liver pool, but not having water to come back the way they went out, they bore up for the Horse Channel, and the passengers then returned to Liverpool on board the steamer which had towed out the Elvira. Notwithstanding every exertion to bring the vessel into port again, the water gained rapidly upon them, and at half-past five she was telegraphed in great distress near Spencer's Gut buoy. About this time she was seen by the Mess's. Atherton, of New Brighton, with a signal of distress flying and sinking; and these gentlemen proceeded, we under stand, in their steam-boat, with as little delay as possible, to en deavour to find the vessel and save the crew. After some diffi culty, owing to the darkness of the night, they fell in with the wreck on the West Wharf, the poop and masts only being above water. As it would have been dangerous, in consequence of the heavy swell, to have laid the steam-boat alongside the the Post-office mail b oxes, s hi p ' s l etter bags, seamen's hammocks, some luggage and stores were transhipped in boats without damage. Shortly afterwards, however, the water rose breast high in the poop and cabin, and all bands then left the vessel and took refuge on board the steamer, and were safely landed next morning at Liverpool.
