Having made very large purchases in Scotch Ma nufactures for the Winter Season, W.

Case of Deafness Cured of Forty Years' Standing T. FIRTH, M. D 1, Alfred. Having had frequent opportunities of witnessing the supe riority of Mrs. Gardner's treatment in patients that have been placed under her care, both by myself and other mem ber of the faculty, I can with confidence recommend her to all who labour under Deafness, or other Disorders of the Aural Organs, and should be wanting in justice to this highly talented lady, were I not to certify the cure of J. Goslett, Esq., No. 1, Old Merrion. This gentleman, having been deaf for forty years, was pronounced incurable by more than one eminent Aurist, and being now completely restored to his hearing by Mrs. Gardner, has permitted me thus publicly to announce it for the benefit of others. J. W. GRAVES, M. D. East London Eye and Ear• Institution, 40, Wellclose-square 19th Sept. 1838 . Mrs. Gardner's successful mode of treating Deafness ap pears to me to depend as much on its mildness and innocence, as on the speed with which its benefits are imparted to the sufferer, and the simple fact of nine persons being cured out of elven that I had recommended to her, needs no farther comment.

"YANG," THE CENTRAL FIRE, WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18 years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country men had been duped : and he predicted that, " though Ke shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar ; that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop page, to keep the English without tea ; " and that " Elliot would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN PIDDING'S ; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc ceeded Ke-shin. " YANG " has officially recommended " the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup ply is quite exhausted," when he foretels that " they will become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the statement that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name. CAPTAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly soli under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he and which they found it impossible to procure, even the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Flowqua's," Agnecrmn'S." " Saoaua's," or some other mixture. Against alone import .tion, the only security is ' CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME." hey have not yet forged, and his signature is on every 'nuine package.

Mr. EDlTOR,—Further, if the tour be only two or three days, then a knapsack will hardly be necessary, and you can carry the few articles wanted in the wallet-like pockets of a shooting jacket. The velveteen jacket is common and serviceable ; but there is a still better in the woollen plaid, or mottled jacket, for two or three reasons,—first, they don't retain the unpleasant smell of the former, which is never lost, and even increased on getting wetted. Second, they do not allow you to get so chill as the velveteen. Lastly, the dye does not come off. This style of coat, with half a dozen pockets in it, is more convenient than a frock coat of cloth, the weight is better thrown around yon in the shooting coat. In the pockets inside you may put an extra shirt and a hand kerchief or two, with a silk night-cap, which is useful in the day time when lying down awhile on the grass, and when the hat can hardly be well retained on the head ; it is a sufficient protection against catching cold in the head whilst taking ten minutes' repose ; and further, by pulling it over the ears it will prevent insects from getting into them ; for although in the generality of cases the drum of the ear is a perfect barrier, securing the internal ear from foreign bodies, yet this drum is not always perfect, having been attacked by in flammation, causing partial or complete destruction of it in a certain proportion of instances, and then small insects might feel disposed to thread the mazy labyrinth of your ear, or in any case they might lodge themselves in the outward tube of the ear to the annoyance of yourself, though this would be no otherwise injurious. If you have a great liking for ease you will not have your coat made with any fashionable tight ness, but quite loose, particularly in the arms. In lieu of the oil silk cape, you can get now an article water proof, and yet so light and accommodating that it is not only portable but pocketable ; it is of French manufacture, and has been not inappropriately called the "Zephyr." A üble breasted waistcoat is too great an advantage to be foregone, for whilst you can button it back, making you very little warmer in fine weather, it is a comfort to be able to button yourself up tight across the chest and up to the chin, in rough weather, independent of your coat. One good reason for having the coat made to button very easy is that otherwise it will button up too tight in case the pockets are filled. The cravat may be taken off with comparative impunity whilst actually walking, but you should. readjust it on stopping: owing to this simple rule being disregarded, many have to thank themselves for sore throats, which a little re flection would have obviated all common risk of. The best shirts are those made of calico or long-cloth. As to shoes, it is a greater comfort than will be generally credited, to have them made an inch fully longer than the foot, and with very broad toes—this allows all the toes to expand freely, and to yield to the constant elongation of them and the foot, from the pressure of the whole body ; you can only justly appre ciate this by standing on one foot only, and then observing how much more room the foot takes up in the length of the shoe particularly, than under any other mode of observing —this occurs actually for the moment of each step-taking, and it is from the cramping of the toes by the crabbed shoe, for this moment when the whole body is supported by each foot alternately, that the pressure and accompanying friction against the side of the shoe, causes that common nuisance a corn. If people would but use their common sense, and get longer shoes and boots with broad toes, they might have them narrow, and clasping home the arch and rest of the foot—and their corns would disappear like magic—we speak confidently because from personal experiment and experience; only discard the present fashion in shoes—make them but easy one way, in the length, and broad pointed, and the toes will do their duty, not only without complaining, or hanging out signals of distress, but walking would become in truth what nature meant it should be—a luxury common to all. The Oxford shoe, as it is called (lacing up the middle and over the instep) is the best of shoe, but one objection is the frequent breaking of the silk lace or tape—there is now an improvement on this, where the opening of the valve ne cessary to get the shoe on is thrown to the outside, and is fastened down by a small buckle, such a plan effectually prevents any water getting inside the shoe, and will allow of equal adjustment to the swelling of the foot at the end of the day, (a fact not duly calculated for, and a reason why a Wellington boot is bad to walk in :far) after the second or third day's performance, or in changing for thicker socks. Socks are better than stockings for many reasons, and not least because headaches and swelling of the legs and feet often depend on the use of garters, which become inju riously tight under the prolonged and arduous exercise of the pedestrian. Let those who are sceptical only try it, those men who have any prestige for as many cinctures as possible around their body are welcome to retain this order of the garter, a badge of the slavery of dress. A great advan tage in the foregoing recommendations about shoes is indeed self-evident—viz., that whilst modelled on nature in pre ference to mathematical principles —as Gulliver's coat was — the foot will be allowed to remain as the great artisan of its perfect and astonishing structure, intended it should be ; and consequently the shoe retains its shape to the last, if people would take the pains to walk evenly and straight, instead of on on the outside of their foot, which was not adapted for that purpose exactly. (The reason why this uncomfortable habit is acquired is because persons carelessly turn their toes in, when walking, instead of turning them out, hence the only wonder is that the outside of the foot is not a regiment of corns !) We have indulged in a little pencilling by the way—but the great discomfort in walking is too every day and too general a case to be unworthy of a moment's attention, even at the cost of being impertinent to our more immediate object • we have stated some fact s an d ven t ure d t o recom mend that, from experience which the reader may need or not, in proportion as he values the comfort and the luxury of a free and easy pedestrian tour. We should say that one good pair of shoes, neither too heavy nor too light, will be sufficient, and a pair of pumps to put on in the evening, or when the others are wet; one of these latter will go snugly in each side pocket, with a sock turned outside in, around it. Though the woollen socks may be, as Colonel Shaw says, the very best, yet for a short trip angola or merino, a mixture of wool and cotton, is well adapted for summer. For a walking companion We advise further a good light cane in preference to a heavy stick. A. cane of a proper stoutness (the Mahratta are the best) will support You all you can want, whilst from its comparative lightness, at the end of a long day's run, it will do all but carry Huff. We have a recommendation to make to our walking friends, particularly if unused to much walking in the country, be cause, however practised in daily town walking, yet in the country they are apt to overdo themselves at starting, and get fatigued with the exhilarating new demands upon their animal frame ; therefore it would be well to limit their first and even second days work to something under what might be accomplished at a possible stretch, for if the first day be come a toil instead of a pleasure, the spirits begin to flag, and few minds can, under the pressure and lassitude of the first day's forced march, get up early next morning to enter gaily upon the second day. On an average we should say that for those who can accomplish 20 miles for a day's walk, that a dozen or 15 is the outside they should lay out for the first effort, then they will have spirits and ability to do the 20 on the second, and perhaps 25 on the third, and they will be in the safest way to reap all the benefits without the distresses of a country walking exploit. Exercise pushed to the matter of fatigue so as to render the muscles sore and trembling with overstrained effort—remaining so after the night's sleep—is not the true and composed enjoyment of country touration. Experience will probably have already convinced many of our readers that our advice, gathered from the same source, is not to be despised, though they may be some buoyant spi rits who feel as if they had done nothing unless they came in like a horse after a day's hunting, tired and jaded with the da 's g lorious run, forgetting, as th ese high flyers must do y surely, that the hunter gets the next day for rest and recruit ing, so that, in fact, he only runs generally three such days out of the six or seven. This ought to moderate the zeal of those freshmen who seem to doubt that discretion is the better part of valour !

A WALK-ER. ( To be continued.) The passage from Vienna to Constantinople may n ow , b y the force of steam, be made in fourteen days. UNITED STATES THE royal mail steamer Caledonia, Captain M'Kellar, ar rived at this port from Boston and Halifax on Saturday morning, at five o'clock. She left the former port at noon on the Ist, and Halifax on the evening of the 3d instant. The voyage from Boston to Liverpool occupied 12 days and 17 hours, and that from Halifax 9 days and 23 hours. The Ca ledonia has brought upwards of 90 passengers. We have received by this conveyance files of New York papers to the 31st ult. inclusive, and Boston journals to the day of the steamer's sailing. We have also received Canada papers to the 28th ult., and Halifax journals of the 3d. in stant. But, though these papers cover a space of twelve days, their contents are unimportant, and do not afford much news for extract or epitome. _ The Bank Bill had passed the Senate, after prolonged de bates. The final vote was 26 to 23. The bill was immedi ately sent to the House of Representatives, where it was read a first and ordered to be read a second time. In the House as in the Senate, the "compulsory power" would, it was thought, be the main point on which debate would spring up. Still, the measure was considered certain to pass. Whether, after having passed the Senate and the House of Representatives, the President would give it his sanction, was still considered doubtful. The Loan Bill, empowering the Executive to raise 12,000,000 of dollars for the service of the Union, had also passed the Senate. The Home Squadron Bill, appropriating 789,310 dollars for two frigates, two sloops, two small vessels, and two armed steamers, to be employed in the defence of the coast, had passed the House of Repre sentatives. The Fortification Bill and other bills were still before Congress. All the prominent measures for which the extra session had been convoked, would, there was no doubt, pass. The Oneida Observer confirms the rumour, that the case of M`Leod would not be brought before the Court of Errors of New York. The Senate having, during the session of last winter, expressed an opinion on the main question, in the form of a resolution, !little prospect offered of a change of the decision of the Supreme Court on the prisoner's case. That Court had, on the application of M`Leod's counsel, granted an order changing the venue for his trial to Oneida county. The trial would not take place until September. M`Leod was in charge of the Sheriff of Oneida county, in whose custody he would remain until his trial, which, it is said, he is anxious should take place as soon as possible, being entirely confident of his ability to furnish the most conclusive proof, that be had no participation in the outrage for which he stands indicted. - The trade of New York was dull, it being the period of the year when merchants and traders do not resort to the city. The principal change in the market had been in flour, which had advanced. The news by the Great Western had not had any influence on cotton. Money continued abundant at New York. Large balances were accumulating in the banks, and very little paper was offering. In specie there was no demand for export, and the banks had large amounts in their vaults. _ _ _ In the Stock Market there had been very little doing. Prices of shares had, however, falle,n on the 31st ult. The shares in the Bank of the United States had sold as low as 163, but, though more had been offered at that price, there were no takers. Bicknell's Reporter states, that Mr. Jau don had appeared before the directors of that bank, and given in a statement of the condition of the agency in Eng land. The foreign creditors of the institution were, it was 1 stated, disposed to act liberally, and were anxious to pursue any course which might place the bank in a more creditable position than she at present occupies. At Philadelphia, on the 30th ult., the closing price of the bank's shares was 17i. The demand for foreign bills, which had been quite feeble before the arrival of the Great Western, afterwards rallied, and better prices had been obtained. Sterling bills for the Caledonia were quoted at 108 to 1081 on England, and on Paris at sf. 25 to sf. 30, at which rates considerable business had been transacted. It was not deemed unlikely that higher rates would be obtained if large importations should be made in anticipation of a change in the tariff. There is no news of prominent interest in the Canada papers. The progress of public business in the provincial parliament had been slow in consequence of the election committees. From returns laid before the legislature, it appears tha the debt of Upper Canada amounts to the enor mous sum of £1,190,000 currency, while that of Lower Canada is put down at £114,000. The Kingston Whig says, that " his excellency the Governor-General does not intend to return to England until next spring, having determined to hold a winter session of the legislature, some of the im portant measures of his administration not being in a suffi cient state of forwardness to lay before parliament at present." The New York papers contain advices from Jamaica to the 2d and from Barbados to the Bth ult. They are of little in terest. The Kingston Despatch says, that about fifty of the immigrants who had recently arrived from Belfast and Scot land were leaving the island. The New Ydrk journals men tion their arrival at that city in the schooner Emma. The same papers also contain advices from Lima to the 20th of May. General Santa Cruz had attempted the inva sion of the province of Piura. Troops had been sent from Callao to oppose the invader. President Gamarra was at Arequipa with 3000 men. He had gone thither to quell a revolution in that province, headed by a General Vivanco, whom he defeated and drove to Boliva. Santa Cruz was at Guayaquil on the 18th of May.

The leading organ of Liberalism in the metropolis asks what is Conservatism, and what is to be expected from it, now that it is about to assume a leading posi tion in the country. Now we would answer to the first question, that Conservatism is the preservation of truth in religion, and freedom in civil polity; and to the second we would reply, that there is to be expected from it the utmost amount of general happiness of which man in this life is capable. The journal of Liberalism is at liberty to differ from us as much as he pleases with regard to the correctness of our answers ; he may deny Conservatism to be that which we say it is ; he may conceive, and he may al lege that it is something quite different; but this he must allow, that supposing, for argument sake, that we describe it truly, it is, in such case, a cause worthy above all others of support, and that the man who sincerely maintains and defends it does maintain and defend that which should dignify and elevate him in the estimation of all virtuous and respectable persons. The Morning Chronicle is bound to concede this, un less, like the American who was affronted at being called a gentleman, and vowed that he never was and never would be a gentleman, it would eschew all pre tence to the character of liberal and enlightened. But should we be asked to prove how Conservatism is the preservation principle, or, rather, the actual pre server of truth in religion and freedom in civil po lity," we answer, that it is so, because it maintains and defends the Church and Constitution of England—the former answering to the first description, and the latter to the second. Would the Liberal dispute with us on these points ? Mayhap he would ; we should expect as much, and we should be quite ready on our part to meet him ; but the controversy, we apprehend, would be rather broad, and not quite adapted for newspaper columns. We must, under these circumstances, be content to rest upon the points as proved ; and surely in this age, after all that has been said and written on both heads, it is no great presumption to assume so much. The Conservative, at all events, is convinced ; he is rooted and established in his belief, and wants no more evidence. Church and State are his motto, and he is satisfied therewith; he has not discovered that there is any better church or better form of govern ment than his own, and to both he firmly adheres. Now what has Liberalism to object, or to offer us ? In the first place, it declines all discussion on modes of faith ; its doctrine is, that religion should form no part of civil institutions; and with regard to our poli tical constitution, it fixes on parts, and would rather narrow the dispute to change in some circumscribed portions, than engage in a discussion which would embrace the whole. The first of these propositions is essentially anti-Conservative, because it would take away the national church and give us nothing in its place ; the second does not reach the Conservative point at all, because as to all limited and useful changes, the Conservative position is quite as good as any other, and the Conservative is himself as free to inquire into, or adopt them if necessary, as the Liberal. We take our stand then on strong, on plain and intelligible ground, and we ask the Chronicle if this be not suffi ciently definite for him, will he be pleased to tell us what he can offer for his favourite Liberalism that is more so ? Conservatism refers the inquirer at once to the Established Church and the settled constitution of the country ; but what does Liberalism refer him to ? If Conservatism be in any degree liable to the reproach of vagueness or uncertainty—(which we deny that it is)—we should be glad to know what is Liberalism ? Liberalism has no religion, or, if any, it has so little confidence in it, that it would take no pains to establish it by law, or teach it universally among the people. As to its politics, where shall we find them ? If it have any settled creed on the subject, we should be glad to be directed to it ; or, are the sayings and do ings of the Whigs during the last ten years to be taken as its clearest and choicest exponent ? If there is any better, we are not aware of it; and, trying it by this test, we say that it has failed altogether, and that the people have deliberately and constitutionally passed sentence against it. But we are asked, in the second place, what will Conservatism do when it returns to power ? Now if it is meant, for instance, that we should tell what the budget of the Conservative Chancellor will be, of course we cannot answer the question ; nor with regard to any other precise course or steps that a Conservative ministry will adopt, have we any information to give; but this is our advantage, that we are not over-anxious or curious upon the point. If an army be commanded by a skilful general, our confidence in his talents and prudence relieves us of all necessity of prying into his movements. Non-commissioned officers and privates are not expected to be of his councils, and all who are interested in his plans or actions feel a great satisfac tion in being able to commit their fortunes into his hands without receiving specific instruction as to the plan of his campaigns, or information as to the details of his intended operations. Just so it is with Conser vatives generally when competent men of their party, principles, and views are in office ; they rely upon their prudence, and they expect from them whatever talent, wisdom, and honesty placed in their circumstances can accomplish. _ _ Conservatives then will do what men actuated by Christian principles, invincible attachment to the Church of England, profound admiration of the British Constitution, and an ardent as well as enlightened love of country, would be expected to do ; more could not be looked for; for more is not in man. Should any among them disappoint these expectations, or come short of these attainments, our reply will be, that the failure arose not from the influence of Conservative principles, but from the want of them—not from the natural tendencies of Conservatism, but its absence in the instance complained of. If Conservatism cannot produce able and honest statesmen, then there is no thing which can ; if Conservatism, carried out in do mestic and in state policy, cannot make a happy people and a great nation, then every known principle must also fail to do so. Do we complain of dulness of trade and dulness of prospects at the present moment, then answer this question—is it to Conservatism or to Liberalism that it is attributable ? We desire to in dulge in no quackery on this head; we know of no al chemy that can turn lead to gold ; we do not pretend that there is " magic" in Conservatism; and if " man be born to trouble as the sparks fly upwards," we are perfectly sure that it is not in Conservatism to reverse his doom ; but we do say, that Conservatism, rightly understood and resolutely acted upon, is able to raise our country to the highest degree of political and so cial happiness of which it is capable. Men, in this our free and enlightened country, are so much in the habit of doing what seemeth good in their own eyes, that we expect no credit for conceding that the sundry ministers of the conventicle have ar perfect right to meet in conclave at Manchester, and debate upon free trade or any other topic they please. They may meet in " conference," of course, if they please; and for any effect that their "conference" will produce upon the corn-laws, we are quite at ease upon the subject. Our object has been to arraign the prin ciple much more than to attack the men, and to point out to our readers a strong and noticeable evidence of the political working of Dissent. It would be uncharitable and unfair to attribute to all the conferring ministers corrupt or improper mo tives in holding the political synod in question. \Ve do nothing of the kind. \Ve prefer supposing that they act from a good though mistaken motive—that they are quite sincere in thinking that they have com mitted themselves to a good work—and that they act in perfect accordance with their own principles. It is the fairer way of judging as regards the men, and, by such interpretation of their actions, we do not weaken, but greatly fortify our own case. In our last paper we had the satisfaction of inserting the very admirable letter of a correspondent, signed " Viator." It supplied some interesting information on the statistics of Dissent and Churchmanship from the neighbouring principality, confirmatory of a pro position which we ventured to state in broad terms in this journal some time previously. At Newtown, in Montgomeryshire, he found the vicar an absentee, Dissent rife, and political Radicalism (as abundantly evinced at the last election) in the ascendant. At Welshpool, in the same county, he observes the " ap pearance of order, respectability, and a high state of • Conservatism ;" but here the Cnuncn is ascendant, " being favoured with a resident vicar, who, with his curates, labours in the vineyard." His next visit was to Wrexham, in Denbighshire. "In this town," writes our correspondent, " Dissent and Radicalism appear predominant. And no wonder; for, on inquiry, I found that,. until the present respected incumbent, there had been no resident vicar for many years." Further inquiry would only tend still more to confirm and elucidate the principle. We should like to see a table of this sort compiled for all England—a table which would shew the true and practical extent of the connection between Church and State. The theory of the thing is to our mind so certain that we need no proof of it; but we should like, nevertheless, to see it tested by actual inquiry. It seems to us incredible that in any town or borough where a Radical or Radi cals are returned, the Church can be in a very efficient state in that locality; we would pronounce, a priori, that it is not so. In an opposite state of things we would, of course, argue the reverse; we would, at all events, venture to preaflirm that where there is an ac tive and faithful Church ministry, political Conserva tism is not far off. But to return from this little digression. We say that the preachers of Dissent, in congregating at Man chester to aid in the free-trade excitement, are only " labouring in their vocation," and as, from their Dissenting principles, we should expect them to do— that their political conference is a legitimate fruit of Dissent itself ; and moreover, that we ought to thank, rather than complain of, them for affording us so striking a manifestation of Dissenting tendencies. The conference is in itself a condemnation of Vo luntaryism. The Voluntary principle is destructive to the mental independence of the minister, whose main tenance is entirely dependent on the contributions of his followers ; and he must find himself much more frequently their slave than their leader. In the instance before us, the ministers are manifestly but the tools and most obedient humble servants of their congregations, and are thrust upon a duty whose performance can have no other effect than to degrade their sacred office. We dispute not their right as simple laymen to sit in council upon the operation of the protecting duties on corn ; but when they assemble as ministers of religion to debate upon the subject, and hold a council ex clusively ministerial to consider it—then, we say, that they fall miserably from their " high estate," and set ' an example. at variance with the sublime precepts and injunctions of the Christian Scriptures. To provide for the temporal wants of the people is a fit subject of care to the temporal ruler—but it is not the pro vince of the spiritual instructor. He has not only to teach, but to set an example of great tranquillity on such matters. The gospel precepts on the subject are, " labour not for the meat which perisheth, hut for that meat which endureth urto everlasting life"—" take no thought for your life, What ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on."—" The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger ; but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing"—and w say that it is a wretched coming down in men who have once put their hands to the plough, and committed themselves to the teaching of this heavenly doctrine, to enter into cabals and join in mere worldly strife, about affairs of trade, or to carry some point of doubtful efficacy, even as regards that object concerning which they are forbidden to be " careful" or to " labour." Such conduct is wrong, very wrong —wrong because it is factious, and has a tendency to misdirect, disturb, and inflame the public mind ; but doubly wrong, because it would seem to cast a doubt upon the truths of holy writ, and raise a suspicion that these " ministers" did not themselves believe in the lessons which they have bound themselves to teach. But the truth of Scripture is too strong for any sus picion which the conduct of such parties can raise against it; nay it is remarkably confirmed in some matters with which they have much to do; for we say that if their religious ministration had been in any de gree successful, the cry for " bread" would not be near so urgent as it is, nor would the necessity for it exist. We request attention to the facts detailed in the subjoined extracts; which we take from our Lon don contemporary the Record : " A manufacturer in Manchester has informed us, that after an extended period of remarkable prosperity, he in stituted a careful investigation to discover how many of his FIFTEEN HUNDRED WORKMEN were doing well in conse quence of the high wages they had for years received, The result was this, that, with the exception of seven individuals, the whole were poorer, more wretched and helpless, than at the commencement of the period ! The other fact is this— that there is no place in which the wages of the operatives are statedly so high as in Sheffield, (from an obvious cause which we need not stop to state,) and it is also a fact, that in no place does vice so awfully luxuriate. We have it on un questionable authority, that in one extensive parish nine out of every ten male adults of the working population are habitual drunkards ; and that this even is not the worst, for that in another, it is estimated by one highly competent to form a correct judgment, that fourteen fifteenths of the adult male population of this class are confirmed drunkards." Our contemporary recites these facts to illustrate the position " that high wages, without moral culture, in stead of improving the happiness of a people, further and grievously deteriorate it--by exchanging poverty for vice, and vice again surely issuing in deeper poverty and more woeful destitution." And surely they prove it, mid not only that, but clearly indicate that the mi nister of religion, if he will do his duty, possesses a much more efficacious mode of supplying the people with bread, in his ministerial capacity, than he can possibly have as a secular brawler about free trade, and a debater even in " conference" about the corn duties. " It is the fashion," says the London Times of Satur day, "with certain of our contemporaries to accuse the Times of inconsistency upon every subject on which we have the misfortune or the honour (as the case may be) to differ from them." Now we .are inclined to think that these charges would not be at all so "fa shionable," if there were not so much occasion given for them. In the matter• of the Protestant Associa tion, to which we adverted in our last, he pleads that though very becoming in the Times and the public, (and we hope we may add without offence, Protestant) press, to take up the subject of the late election out rages in Ireland, it was "improper and inexpedient, in ":the highest degree, for a professed theological body "like the Protestant Association, to meddle with the " matter ;" and he adds, " the world may be ill-natured, but we believe it gives the gentlemen of that Associa tion no more credit for zeal for freedom of election, than it does to the Romish priesthood." Further, he alleges that the Association is sweeping and indiscriminating its censures of the Romanist priesthood ; whereas ie Times always "distinguishes," and applies his epi- thets only where they are deserved. Now we say that this is no answer to the charge of flagrant inconsistency preferred, nor any justification of the unjust attack so foolishly and wantonly made on the Protestant Association. That it is a professed "theological" body, and therefore we suppose exclu sively so, is a mere imagination of the Times' writer himself. Doubtless it does connect all our most va lued civil institutions with the maintenance of the Pro testant religion, and unquestionably in resisting the dangers which it conceives we have reason to appre hend from Popish influence, it looks a little further than to the mere outward exhibitions on which the laws of the land can fasten ; but to say that it is on this ac count so much a theological body as to be debarred from all political interference in behalf of outraged Pro testants, or insulted liberty, is a gratuitous assumption which no reasonable person would he expected to al low. Then the attack upon the clerical members con veyed in the School for Scandal style of inuendo—that the " world" gives them no more credit for " zeal for freedom of election than it does. to the Romish priest cod; why this, we say, is a contemptible slander far more worthy of a Radical, or Popish journal, than of the thundering Times. But, lastly, there is the charge of " want of discrimination." "As for the Protestant Association," says the tliun derer, " they draw no such distinctions as we do, and it is a theological and not political zeal which causes them to represent Popery as something worse than the worship of Mahomet, or Juggernaut, or Jupiter. We are to understand by this, that there is some thing disqualifying and condemnatory in the name of " Protestant "—and that to associate to a protest against Popish practices, any thing of the odium theologicum against the religion of Popery, is to put the party so doing hors de combat, and send him into conventual retirement. Why this is what the Protestants of Ire land have been for a long time complaining of ; they say that they suffer persecution for the name of Pro testant, and that if they would only renounce it, they might enjoy much exemption from their present an noyances, and a considerable amount of quiet and in dulgence ; but they add, they cannot, and never will surrender it; and that it is as Protestants they look for protection from a Conservative government, and the blessings of the British constitution—and not other wise. But if the doctrine now put forth by the Times gain an ascendancy, it is plain, that as Protestants they must expect nothing. To be Protestant is to be " theological," and to be " theological" is to put one self out of the pale of political relief. So sayeth the Times; but the doctrine is unsound, and the Times stands convicted, as a Conservative journal, of mon strous inconsistency in maintaining it. We have not yet come, we trust, to the time when a man is to be ashamed of the Protestant faith, and to suffer civil dis • qualification and proscription for calling himself a Pro testant. Why, this, if it he not the tyranny of Popery, is the tyranny of Liberalism—and one of these tyran nies is in our mind just as bad as the other. We take much interest in attending to the move ments of the Mercury, now that it has evidently fallen into the sere and yellow leaf. 'We feel ourselves as it were attending at his bedside, and we anxiously catch at any words that seem to convey any indication of the state of his soul—for that is now the only matter with him worthy of a moment's concern. A short time since, we lament to say, be was heard to declare that, as he had begun a Liberal, and had lived all* his life a Liberal, so he was determined to die one. The hearers were shocked at the thought of anything in the shape of humanity leaving the world in so hardened a state ; and for our part we gave him up. However, we should never despair even in the most seemingly obstinate and hopeless cases ; we observed a favourable sign last week—he begins to make confessions, a disposition in which he should by all means be encouraged. We have taken down a very interesting one which he made on Friday, and which amounts to a plain avowal that he is now fully aware that he has spent a useless and unprofitable life, and that, after his more than thirty years' labours, Liverpool owes him nothing. His words are these : " It is with deep regret that we are obliged to admit the disgraceful and humiliating fact, that, in this our native town, intolerance and the absence of true Christian feeling are more disgustingly prominent than in any other town in the kingdom, or any part of the world with the history of which we are at all acquainted." So endS all his teaching ! For thirty years and up wards has he had the instructing of the burgesses— for thirty years and upwards has he been their school master at home and abroad—and now, at the termina tion of his long and ill-spent life, he is forced to pub lish the humiliating fact, that, above all towns, Liver pool is most distinguished for " intolerance and the absence of true Christian feeling." It is a foul bird, saith the proverb—but the saying is somewhat musty. The proposition is in itself false; but the penitent's own conception of its truth is alt that is ma terial to our purpose, for it chews a burning conscious ness upon his soul, that all his philosophy (falsely so called) has produced no other fruits than " intolerance and the absence of true Christian feeling" among his disciples. We should not omit to state, that with this solemn confession the octogenarian mixed up much raving about " meddling Irish Orange parsons," Popish priests, and other matters which we have not time to attend to just now, but to which we purpose adverting in our next. ANTI-CORN-LAW AGITATORS ARE NOT " THE MANUFACTURING INTEREST." In the various discussions upon which we have been called upon to enter of late, upon the subject of the corn-laws, we have made use of a term—" the manufacturing interest"— which, we fear, is calculated seriously to mislead the public, as to who are the real parties with whom we are at issue. The men of the anti-corn-law league—the clamourers for free trade in slave sugar—the conveners of the reverend con clave, which is this clay met in a neighbouring town to hurl the anathemas of dissent against the persons and pursuits of our agriculturists —are not " the manufacturing interest" of Great Britain, however eagerly they may affect to speak in its behalf. These men are not " the manufacturing body"-- the producers of the nation's wealth. The free trade agitators of the manufacturing districts are but a section of that body; a fungus off-shoot which has grown upon it, marring its healthy development, and disfiguring its proportions ; and the voice which is at this moment being raised as the voice of that body is, we venture to say, unsympathised in by the far greater portion of those who do , in r eality, constitute it. To those who are intimately a cquainted with t h e manufac turing districts this is no new information ; but the public, we believe, is a little in error upon this point, and there are parties sufficient who are not disinclined to keep them in The circumstance that the large manufacturing towns return, with few exceptions, anti-corn-law members is esteemed satisfactory evidence that the majority of the wealth and intelligence of these towns are favourable to the ministerial propositions. We believe, however, the fact to be precisely the contrary. The substantial portion of our manufacturers are strongly Conservative, not only of the constitution itself, but of the corn-laws, which are repre sented to press so heavily against their interests. The great bulk of those engaged in the home trade regard the con tinued prosperity of the agriculturist as essential to the stability of manufacturing pursuits ; and of those even who are embarked altogether in foreign trade, a considerable por tion are equally inclined to view the proposed free trade mea sures of the government as suicidal and destructive of British interests. That such is the fact—that the bulk of the property em barked in manufacturing pursuits is ranged on the side of the constitution and of native agriculture—the recent contest in the West Riding of Yorkshire, with the abandonment, as a forlorn hope, of any opposition to the present members for South Lancashife, is sufficient evidence. We believe, too, that an examination of the comparative status, both as regards wealth and respectability of the parties who voted at the recent elections in our manufacturing boroughs, prove the same f act. We adm i t that ag i tat i on an d the influ enceextensive insepar a bl e f rom l arge un d erta ki ngs , affording would employment to the working classes, have conferred a present numerical superiority upon the ministerial faction in most
