Nothing is clearer than they could not. The money-rate of wages, wholly in ldent of the price of provisions from year to year, is ly regulated by it, other things being equal, from ten If, by the free importation of foreign of it is reduced one-half, the ultimate years to ten vill be, that wages will fall one-half also.' It is impos sible it can be otherwise ; for even if the reduction did not ensue from any other cause, it would inevitably be brought about by the great impulse given to population, and conse quent multiplication of labourers, under the influence of un diminished money-wages and augmented ease of circum stances, and an increased durable fall in the price of the ne e 3saries of life. Past history and past ( experience alike concur in demonstra ting this important fact. In the time of the Norman con quest, the price of wheat was from three shillings and six pence to five shillings per quarter ; but nevertheless, the la bourers had not half the command of the necessaries of life they have now, for the money-wages of labour were a half penny a day durir the remainder of the year and a penny Ins are incomparably cheaper in Poland •y are in this country ; but are the Po \ts half as comfortably fed, lodged, or ling classes in this country ?

The Russian steamer Neva, one of those which maintain the regular communication between Odessa and Constantinople, was wrecked at Kila, near the entrance of the Bosphorus. Of all on hoard only the captain and seven other individuals were saved. The remainder—namely, six passengers and 13 seamen—found a watery grave. The Stamboul arrived - at Constantinople on the Bth, all well, from Trapezunt, having lain for some days in port to avoid the storm. She brought intelligence that the Ferdinand had sustained no damage in the passage to Trapezunt. The shipwrecks occasioned by the storms of the Ist were extremely numerous in the Black Sea. We have already in formation of the fate of 18 Greek vessels, three English, and several Austrian, Sardinian, and Neapolitan merchantmen, which have been cast away on the coasts of that sea. Seven shipwrecks have occurred even in the canal itself, which unheard-of circumstance is sufficient to give an idea of the extreme fury of the storm. THE FRUITS OF EMANCIPATION (From the Guiana Times.) Are not to be discussed minutely in a cursory notice, but may not be amiss to say a word or two respecting some of A petulant clamour is raised about the value of property not having been depreciated. Why, of the recent exchanges of properties, the majority are allowed to have been sacrificed on one side, bargains on the other. Moreover, nothing is more natural, than that men who have faith in the prospect ref extensive immigration, should purchase land. when they can get it cheap, at a period when the extravagant price given for sugar goes far to compensate for the loss of the coercive power of the former slave owner. What say the Produce Returns ? The Governor perempto rily refuses to allow them to be divulged. He caused the publication of one, a most fallacious one, some time back, in which he compared the average of all the quarters of 1839, with the actual result of one good quarter of 1840. We are as certain as that we now write, that this infamous return will be quoted against the Colony, and we shall be told that we have no right to complain, for we are doing better than ever. Governor M`Leod, we should imagine, will have no motive for a concealment or perversion of the truth. He will, we dare believe, unlock the custom-house records, shut up by • - Mr Light. And yet the custom-house returns will not be perfectly faithful, inasmuch as they will show no manner of distinction between sugar, the produce of the country, and foreign sugar, landed pro forma, from ships in the river, and re-shipped as colonial produce. It is truly distressing to have to record, that, besides the encouragement given to foreign slavery, by the process 1.0 which we have alluded, there is, yet another premium held out, the effects of which cannot be less extensively pernici ous. On several estates in Demerara, you may purchase refined foreign sugar cheaper than you can raw sugar, the produce of the estate. Indeed, the extent to which refilled foreign sugar is in use among us, is very alarming. As far as we are able to collect, our planters and merchants, enerally, do not deprecate, with much fervour, the idea of war. It is justly remarked how great an advan tage the English colonies must nossess over those of France, and how probable it is, that we have only to lie to, off Mar tinique or Gaudaloupe, for a few hours, to empty those islands of half their population. But a war must interrupt immigration from distant parts, and break up the machinery of the proposed packet system, from which we may antici pate so many beneficial results. In general, but little regret is felt, at the transaction of large properties from the hands of absentees. to those of resident, proprietors. The advantages arising to the mass of the population are too obvious to require detail. Nor is it denied that the retention in the colony, of the money laid renerally, to feel the a Enrop le colonists, effects of emancipation in a less ratiothausOne clas! the inhabitants of the mother-country. Were estates to fall, pretty extensively, into the possession of persons who have approved themselves as attorneys or managers; and were the colony to be allowed immigrants, we should soon form a very opulent and flourishing community. We need not add, that the labouring population still con tinue masters of the labour market, and can, possibly, have nothing to complain of in their condition. It is very much to be lamented, that no inquiry has been set on foot respecting the falsehoods of certain parties in Barbados, whose assertions; if believed, must be very prejudicial to us. Perhaps, Governor M'Leod, may do something in this way. THE POLISH EXlLES.—Meantime, the children of Po nd are wanderers over the earth ; or, if lingering on their without his go rewards .ternegs ing there no longer as masters, but as strange destiny,—the life of a ( try and thei ith the feloti's fat r with Their poverty has bet ,ere to be poor is to be c and the nobleness of 'n his wealth at his coun- ar has been forgotten. The fashion of the hour has and the woes of Poland are no banger sung in the of the fair ; whilst the politician exclaims, " C'est un fait accompli,"'and,. shrugging his shoulders, annonnces the degrading doctrine that possession gives right. Even the lawyer will allow, that no claim is barred which is erted: within _a period of _twenty year ; and what year elapses during which hundreds of Poland's children do not assert her claims, and sign their appeal with their blood ? From time to time the throes of Poland, as she half rises from her tomb, are felt over Europe; and each struggle to assume her former erect position becomes more desperate and prolonged. The serf and the noble are fast learning the mighty lesson, that in their unio❑ lies their strength ; and, like the giant form in the Castle of Otranto, we prophesy that the spirit of Poland will yet dilate, till it burst the cere ments of its living tomb. Meantime, the Polish exile has a high and noble mission : it is his lofty prerogative, as he wanders a stranger, and perhaps in rags, to preach to the world a mighty lesson of enduring faith,—a faith in the un dying nationality of a country which we vainly seek upon the map,—a faith in the justice of a God to whom his blood has so long vainly cried for succour,—a faith in the final victory of that right which has been so often stricken to the earth. Those who once preached a yet sublimer faith were even more despised and afflicted than he; but the Polish ex ile, however miserable, he too is an apostle.—From Fraser's Magazine for January.

We sincerely congratulate the brethren of this lodge on their choice of so excellent a master, and his discrimination in the appointment of such efficient officers. The business of the day having been disposed of, the direc tor of the ceremonies (Brother S.

It consisted of . . the rarest dainties in fish, flesh, and fowl. The wines were of the choicest flavour, and the dessert delicious and abun dant. The banquet having been discussed, and benediction pro nounced by the Rev. Chaplain, the following toasts, &c., were delivered from the throne, which was ably filled by that talented and zealous mason, the R. W. Deputy Provincial Grand Master for Cheshire, JOHN FlNcliErr MADDOCK, "Our most gracious Sovereign, and may she long live to reign over a free and happy people." (Masonic fire.) Song, by Brother S.

" The Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family.' Song, by Brother Gough—" To all you ladies." The R. W. DEPUTY then observed, that although " the st of the Royal Family" had been given, still there was one young lady entitled to their especial notice, and ought to be given separately—he meant the Princess Royal ; and he hoped that in process of time she would be favoured (by Divine Providence) with the company of a Prince of %Vales and Earl of Chester.

G. Master of the Province, .1. Finchett Maddock, Esq., who had honoured them with his presence that day, and stated how gratifying it was to him, and he begged to assure him it was also to the great body of masons within'this province, for the zeal and uniform attention which he had always evinced in the cause of masonry, in private as well as in his public capacity of D. P. G. Master, and with what feelings of pleasure the btethren froM one end of the county to the other dwelt on the recollection of the time when the noble viscount made choice of so efficient a representative, and under whose fostering care masonry had gained such an ascendancy in this city that had never been exceeded before, and hoped he might _be long Me W. 11 spared to live amongst them and adorn the exalted character he then so well supported. (Rapturous applause and honours.) The R. W. D. P. G. AlAs'rEtt rose to return thanks, his feelings evidently overcome by this mark of their esteem. He begged to assure them that he felt the compliment just paid him; and trusted that Providence might spare him to perform the important duties of his station in this county that the craft required, and that he should never forget the unsolicited honour conferred by the R. W. P. G. M. in ap pointing him as his lordship's deputy, and for the fraternal and kind manner he had upon every occasion been received by those lodges he had had the pleasure of visiting. After congratulating the brethren of the Cestrian Lodge on their choice of the master and appointment of the officers, he thanked, them most sincerely, and hoped each would strive to carry out the true principles of masonry with freedom, fervency, and zeal. The worthy Deputy then resumed his seat amidst masonic honours, &c. Song, by Brother Brown—" Oh, my heart is delighted." " Past and Present P. G. Officers of Cheshire."

Bennett, Esq., Jno. Blake, Esq. R.N., lice. In the course of the day a letter was read from Major-General Brother Sir Chas. Napier, K.B. &c., regretting his unavoid able absence. One part of this day's proceedings gives us great pleasure to relate : at an early part of the day the R. W. D. P. G. M. presented, in the name of the Lodge, an elegant silver snuff box, to Brother J. A. Clements, on which was the following inscription : " Presented to Brother J. A. Clements, by the Brethren of the Cestrian Lodge, 615, as a small tribute of their frater nal regard for his zeal as a mason, and his efficient services to the interests of the Cestrian Lodge upon all occasions." The R. W. D. P. G. M. retired about ten o'clock, when the lodge was finally closed and adjourned. LANCASHIRE COUNTY VOTERS.—The number of voters for this county, as they now appear on the respective lists, is as follows :—For the Southern Division, 18.178 ; for the Northern, 10,031 ; total 28,209 ; and we are happy to add that the conservative cause is perfectly secure in both di visions.—Preston Pilot. We are sorry to announce the death of Frank Hall Stan dish, Esq. of Duxbury, in Lancashire, of litera-y celebrity. He had almost entirely recovered from a long and painful illness, but being attacked with inflammation, he died sud denly at Cadiz, on the 21st of December.—Morning Post. PORT OF ULVERSTONE.—The petition to make the port of Ulverstone a free port has received a number of signa tures, and will in a few days be forwarded to the Earl of Burlington ; through whom, to the members of North Lan cashire and Lord Sandon, it will be presented to the Lords of the Trtasury.---Preston Chronicle. PLUMPTON IRON ORE PITS, NEAR ULVERSTONE. —The spirited gentlemen who are working these pits, have met with ore of excellent quality. They are now erecting a steam-engine, to pump the water out of the pits. We have no doubt they will ultimately succeed—and we trust beyond their most sanguine expectations.—Preston Chronicle. FOREIGN POSTAGE. — There seems to be a very general and erroneous impression that the postage of foreign letters cannot be paid by means of stamps. The 3 and 4 Victoria, c. 95, s. 12, authorises that stamps may be used for foreign letters outwards. In those cases where the stamps are in sufficient, and the payment of the foreign postage is com pulsory, the letter is returned to the sender; but charged " with such postage as if no stamp had been thereon or affixed thereto." TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION OF GUNPOWDER.—On Tues day last, a boy eleven years of age, son of a coal-miner at Spotland Bridge, near Rochdale, named William Moult, went into the garret with a lighted candle, and was taking some gunpowder out of a barrel which his father had got a few days ago, when a spark ignited it and the boy was blown through the roof of the building, and was found at a distance of . several yards from the house.

Subject---" An inquiry into the principle: of the prophetic interpretation, and the practical results aris ing from them." The subject for the present year is, " The use and value of the writings of the ancient fathers, consi. dered as auxiliary to the proof of the truth of a religion, and to the elucidation of its doctrines." e Christiar RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE The Chief Railway Commissioner, Sir Frederick Smith, R.E., arrived at Carlisle a few days ago, and on Monday, accompanied by Mr. Miller, the engineer of the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway, proceeded to survey the proposed lines from Carlisle to Glasgow and Edinburgh.—Newcastle Journal. Sir Frederick Smith and Professor Barlow, the commis sioners appointed by the LOrds of the Treasury to report on the best line of railway communication between London and Glasgow have delivered in their third report, wherein they recommend for that portion between Lancaster and Carlisle, a line by way of Kendal, Orton, and Penrith, on a plan sub mittedby Mr. Larmer.—Newcastle Journal. LINE OF RAILWAY THROUGH FIFE.—Mr. Grainger, the engineer employed to prepare the plans required by the stand ing orders of the House of Commons, preparatory to the in troduction of the bill into .parliament, has, we understand, commenced his survey of the proposed railway through Fife. The surveyors under his directions commenced their labours simultaneously on Tuesday last week at Bruntisland and va rious other points along the line'to Dundee, by Kirkcaldy, Markinch, New Inn, Cupar, &c.—Scottish Standard. STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—During the past week there has been fully as much business transacted in the cloth halls as might be ex pected at this particular season of the year, and perhaps even still more done to order, for there is a remarkable want of assortment in the stocks of goods now in the cloth halls. A general expectation seems to prevail that we shall have a brisk trade early in the spring. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods at our mar ket on Thursday, the last market in the year, was brisker than might have been expected, and prices were very firm. There was also a steady demand for yarn at recent prices. inferior sorts of combing wools were in good request at former rates ; but in finer sorts the sales were very limited. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. I.—The new year, ve anticipate, will improve upon the old. There is decidedly more activity in some of our warehouses. There is more business in the trade during the last fortnight. CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 29.—We have re frained from making any report of the wool trade in this quarter for some time, owing to the uniform sameness that has prevailed in the market. The trade has at length got what may be termed a turn ; all descriptions of this article have, within the last week or two, been decidedly better sold, and staplers are quite on the alert in making purchases. We have no doubt wool will still realize better prices. —Leeds Intelligencer. ROMAN CATHOLIC ELECTORS PUBLICLY DENOUNCED FROM THE ALTAR.—AWFUL INTIMIDATION.-011 Sunday last, some respectable Roman Catholic tenants of the Hon. Somerset Maxwell were publicly denounced by a priest, who declared that " they were damned, and it was out of his power to save them." This attempt to create excitement has failed to make an impression on any but the mere mob— but it demonstrates the existence of a ferocious tyranny, that must be exposed and fearlessly combatted before it can be extinguished. The adjudication of the magistrates at Tul low was also a subject of debate in another chapel, and they were collectively and individually abused for daring to ad minister the law in justice and equity, by punishing the wretches who polluted the.bouse of worship by committing assaults therein.—Carlow Sentinel. INCREASE OF THE NAVY.—In comparing the list of the ships in commission at the present period, with the list of those in active service last January, we find the strength of the navy at sea is increased by three three deckers, two eighty-fours, three fifties, five sloops of war, and seven first class steamers, forming an - addition to our defence of 794 guns and 6,300 men ; the whole of which are in addition to any estimate proposed to Parliament, and is an expense which the pressure of the times has compelled the govern ment to incur, and under a full reliance on the emergency of the case justifying them in asking for the necessary supplies. The number of seamen, marines, and boys now in employ, exceeds 43,000. —Hampshire Telegraph. DEATH OF LADY HERVEY BATHURST.—.-We have to record, after a short illness, the demise of the above highly respected lady, which took place on Wednesday last, at Cla rendon Park, Wilts. Her late ladyship, who was eldest daughter and co-heiress of the late Mr. Walter Smythe, was born 10th June, 1810, and married 14th May, 1832, Sir Fre deric Hutchinson Hervey Bathurst, Bart., by whom she leaves issue a son and a daughter. Sir Frederic, it is needless to say, is inconsolable at his domestic bereavement. ADVANTAGES OF BEING A DIRECTOR. — One of the on dits of the day tells a pleasant tale of an event that happened in a railway not 113 miles long. A director living some 50, more or less, miles down, and having some friends to enter tain during this merry season, had ordered a barrel of oysters to come by his own railway: The lazy fishmonger not send ing them in time, the director—and who had a better right ? —took off a barrel going by the railway to another party, that he might not disappoint his own friends; and the next day, like a good and worthy member of society, sent on his own to the expectant party.—. Railway Magazine. PORTSMOUTH H AIM/Int.—A most complete survey of the Portsmouth H arbour, (says the Hampshire Telegraph,) with its variousllakes and approaches, has recently been made by Lieuts. Sherringhatn and Otter, and their assistants, inclu ding a minute map of the towns. The most extraordinary coincidence exists, we understand, between the present sur vey, with all the improved methods, and still more improved instruments, and the old survey of Mackenzie, made in 1782, and the still more recent one of the late talented and indus trious Mr. Park, who was then Master Attendant here ; and, still more extraordinary, the soundings, all over, have varied only in the slightest degree in the period alluded to,- sixty years. The bar off the Southsea Land-marks remains unal tered from its shape and size as recorded in the oldest minutes ' • and we find it consist of no shifting matter, but is a firm substance of flint and chalk, almost concreted together with gravel; it could be channelled with much ease, but with some expense.

Brazils are more in demand, and Pernams in particular are decidedly dearer since stocktaking. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JANUARY 2 The change of wind has brought up several Grain cargoes during the last two or three days, including 9,000 quarters of Wheat from the English coast, (nearly all free foreign, from London,) with 9,000 quarters of Oats and 14700 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. We have at the same time to report, as usual at the holyday season, a limited trade generally; but, at yesterday's market, somewhat easier terms would have been taken for both Oats and Oatmeal had sales to any extent been thereby practicable. Barley and Beans remain as last quoted : of the former, a little choice chevalier has brought 395, and flue small Beans, English and Foreign, 46s to 47s per qr. A few Foreign Peas have been retailed at 41s to 428 imp. quarter. American Flour, free, has sustained late rates, but has been rather slow of sale, the best marks of United States at 365, Canadian at 35s to 36s per brl. A little United States has been sold, in bond, for export, at 26s per barrel. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARK T, JAN. 4 This day we had a large supply of Cattle and :Sheep, and for the season of the year we never recollect Grass Beef coming to market in such fine condition, but still prices rated lower than last week. Prime Beef 6id to 62d, middling and inferior 51d to 6d; good Wethers bid to 7d ; Ewes and middling Sheep 6d to 6id, sinking the offal. Number of Beasts, 1502; Sheep, 4511.
