AND SIERRA re is, we are glad to learn, a - vessel now fitting this port, with every attention to health, conve- for the conveyance of free Afri can labourers from Sierra Leone to the British West Indies. We are not acquainted with the particulars relating to this ship, farther than it will, after having procured a sufficient number of emigrants at Sierra Leone, proceed first to British Guiana, where those la bourers who may so feel disposed will enter intoen gagements for a limited period of service, and the ship will afterwards proceed with the remaining emigrants to Trinidad, and, if need be, to Jamaica. If this is to be done at the cost of the West India colonists, it betokens an earnestness in the cause of immigration which, if energetically followed up, will retrieve the i comfort planters from present distress and future ruin. There are in Sierra Leone 36,000 liberated Africans, naintainance alone of whom annually costs this ^nri These Africans literally eat the countr bread of idleness. Within the limits of the British settlement there is scarcely any demand for their la bour, and the Government has hitherto most pertina ciously refused to extend those limits. In the settle ment coffee can be only very partially cultivated; be yond it that plant could be and was extensively pro duced ; but as that product, when raised beyond the limits, is now admissible into this country on payment only of the differential duty, its cultivation has ceased, and the importation of British manufactures to the value of the amount exported, lost. RE OF THE GREAT WHIG-RADICAL DEMONSTRATION AT DUBLIN. (From the Dublin Packet.) FAILI Well, ti long-threatened meeting for supporting tottering whigs, and defeating Lord Stanley's re ration bill, took place on Friday, and turned out, is was expected from the very outset, a decided and melancholy failure. f the chairman, who invariably acts as k to the Downing-street people, there nobleman, and he only a lord by That personage, together with about half-a of the tail, constituted the staple of assemblage of Irish reformers. ztr than Friday it was pompously announced iastle journals that the Duke of Leinster, not anding his refusal to sign the requisition, would ive his attendance upon the occasion ; but the although in Dublin, would have nothing to do Lhe parties. Not even could he be prevailed upon lk from Dominick-street to the Theatre-royal, a ►ce only of a few hundred yards, to co-operate in themes of Mr. O'Connell. The truth is, his had the audacity to perceive that repeal, though ugly kept out of view, was at the bottom of the proceeding, and, therefore, doggedly persisted in termination to remain at home. Such, also, was 2solve of the other titled requisitionists, all of with the exceptions already mentioned, refused their characters by any contact with the Kerry t but one jrethre )ry too was of the most contemptible de- Stale abuse of toryism, and virulent de of Lord Stanley, were the leading charac all the speeches,—the only one of which rouble of reading was that delivered by a Englishman, named Lethbridge, ,imported for casion from Somersetshire. This gentleman, roclaiming his relationship with the noble house ntertained his hearers with a very strange— tory about a certain Somerset whom he named to the meeting. The question, the Rev. W. Bernard Tatwor- n incredible s represented as having stated his conviction that hilts were altogether wrong in their mode of deal- th the lower - orders of the people, who, he re 3, ought to have been treated after the manner Inds, and reduced to submission by the thong- iw, if this statement be true, it is positively dis lble. It would be disgraceful in reference to any but little less than infamous as applied to a Chris astor. Let us hope, for the credit of human na ;hat the tale is a calumnious fabrication, and that :h monster can be found on the soil of free and aus England. However, the fact is now before c, and Mr. Tatworthy is bound, for the sake :haracter, as well as that of his sacred pro ire immediate contradiction if it be false. 7C shall soon have an opportunity of judg veracity of this Somersetshire story-teller, aspect, after all, is entitled to little cre- the pub] s own c O'CONNELL AND DR. COOKE. (From the Morning Herald.) O'Connell is a sort of Falstaff in his way. With , out anything of the genuine humour and mellow vi vacity of the fat knight, he certainly understands, as well as Hal's tavern preceptor did, t h e secret that "dis cretion is the better part of valour," and would rather have to do with a dozen " Master Shallows" than with one Hotspur. He can route a dozen giants of his own creation, as Falstaff made nothi ng o f di spatching knaves in buckram" when left to choose his own time and place for the combat; but a bona fide chal lenge from one sinewy antagonist who insists upon do ing battle in the face of day, and takes the proper means to secure an equal advantage in the lists, causes him to show the "white feather," and to skulk even from his favourite repeal question, like that animal in . heraldry whose tail is ignominously dependent. A voice from the north has cowed the " roaring lion" of repeal. Dr. Cooke, the chief man among the presbyterians of Ulster—no mean antagonist—has thrown down the gauntlet to O'Connell on the repeal question—has offered him equal terms, " a clear stage a , . ~ .:,•• ur ;" h ut D aniel has declined to take it up. „ 1 4 4 ,1 t , :s . cio of th e sout h has fled from the " cock 7,.., '': /"/ '~ v ; !•~ ~ ~ ( . /~_. , !m_ti•d l 3 , / of the north." The Caterfelto of repeal agitation, the instinctive prudence of his nature, flies from the proffered combat in a fair and equal arena to the packed assemblies of his servile myrmidons, for he shows that in the masculine grip of Dr. Cooke he would prove to be" no conjuror." Here then is this impostor who has been going about Ireland agitating for repeal—" hurraing" for re peal, and apparently most anxious to have a fight for repeal; but the moment a fair challenge is given him by a man who he knows will keep his word, and who, though no demagogue, is no flincher in a public assem bly, he turns his back, and creeps like a recreant cur to 'l'om Reynolds and the Trades' Union to tell them why he declines fighting even for repale" and " Ould Ireland" unless he can be sure of victory by playing the Hector in the midst of his own henchmen, with out an enemy to encounter. In this repeal agitation, O'Connell has not even the merit of being an enthusiast. If he were, nothing would have gratified him more than to have an oppor tunity of encountering on fair terms an antagonist like Dr. Cooke. To vanquish one such enemy would be of more advantage to his cause than to make a hun dred blustering speeches in assemblies of his own fol lowers, before or after dinner, dressed in the fawn coloured repeal-buttoned coat and velvet collar of an itinerant mountebank, demonstrating the superiority of Irish blarney and Irish broad cloth, after having bestowed the former in abundance on the Manchester manufacturers, and having received something more substantial in return. But O'Connell's repeal witation is merely the show man's trade. It is the cold pretence of a sordid spe culator, eager to gather in the pounds, shillings, and pence, by an attractive absurdity that takes with the English - multitude. He is, however, quite as honest in advocating repeal as Lord Ebrington is in opposing it, notwithstanding the impression which the Dublin Evening Mail has endeavoured to make in favour of. the O'Connellite Lord Lieutenant by very pretty sto ries about his discountenancing repeal agitation in the government appointments. The friends of Popish corporations may very consistently praise Lord Ebring ton ; but the conservatives of Ireland must not forget that in the late election for the county Mayo the whole weight of government influence was thrown into the scale of Mr. Blake, O'Connell's praised, puffed, and patrbnised "repealer." The blow which Dr. Cook has struck the agitator in his rampant career, is not likely to obtain him soon an invitation to the Irish Viceroy's table. He has made Daniel show " the white feather," and this will considerably damage his present scheme of seditious agitation. He may talk as he will of his conflcts with such combatants as Spring Rice or Sharman Craw ford on the subject ; but these were Master Shallows : one of them could indeed fight a long-winded sham fight, while the other displayed all the sad simplicity which just suited O'Connell's buffoonery to turn into sport. A very different antagonist from those is Dr. Cooke. O'Connell knows that he• has the pitch, and substance, and courage, and intellect of a powerful champion of the truth. He knows that he is neither to be intimidated or cajoled, and therefore we doubt if a legion of priests, or even a Pope's bull, could in duce him to meet him. He knows that his arm can deal a strong blow, and therefore he thinks it the wisest, because the safest course, to keep out of his reach. ---..45p..-.-- THE GREAT REFORM MEETING AT LEEDS (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) Were there no other proof of the arrant humbug of the meeting about to take place in Mr. Marshall's Flax Mill, the use to be made of Mr. O'Connell on that oc casion would be sufficient to stamp its true character. The authors of the meeting affect a more than ordi nary love of liberty. They would push the ministry onward ; they would enlarge the bounds of demo cracy ; they would abrogate the reform act ; and they lay especial stress upon what they term the rights of conscience. And one of their instruments for effect ing these instruments is O'Connell, decidedly the greatest enemy to rational liberty now in existence. This man, throughout his entire course, has pursued no ends but selfish ones. In every public act of his life self has been the primary consideration. All his agi tations are accompanied by levies of money upon his dupes. Fund after fund has been raised, and the whole of the proceeds has been swept into his own pocket. He pushed Catholic Emancipation to make a trade of his talents and influence. He gave up his practice at the bar, under the pretence of Serving the public, but in reality to quarter himself upon his poor countrymen, who, by dint of bell, book, and candle, are compelled to give the very bread they need to pam per their deceiver and misleader. He traffics in par liamentary seats ; he trades with the ministry, selling them for lucre, while abusing them, the power derived from his too confiding countrymen : affecting all the while to be labouring for the overthrow of the very persons with whom he maintains a secret and corrupt understanding. The reader will find an instructive reminiscence of some of the tricks of this consummate charlatan in an extract from Mr. Oastler's " Fleet Pa pers ;" and it will be also seen that he has just evaded a challenge to meet Dr. Cooke of Belfast, in discussion on the repeal question, pressing into that refusal as much personal insult as his fertile mind suggested, yet showing at once his fear and his meanness ; for well does he know that "Daddy Cooke," as he calls the Doctor, is not the man to be set aside by a quirk or a vulgar joke. Now it is such an ally as this—the man who is do ing all he can to exclude the manufactures of the West Riding from the Irish market, although immense quantities of Irish produce of all kinds are daily con sumed in this district—that Messrs. Stansfield and Marshall invite to hold forth at the hole-and-co ner meeting in Mr. Marshall's mill, on Thursday next, the ostensible aim of which is the promotion of the cause of the people ! The fact is, that the meeting of Thursday is a delu sion upon the working-classes of this town and neigh bourhood. The managers aim at a monopoly of local power. Mr. Stansfield (greatly to his own surprise, we dare say) finds himself an alderman, a borough justice, and West Riding magistrate. In the latter ca pacity he reaps little honour or comfort; the soil is not congenial to the growth of such plants ; in corporation matters he is more at home, and therefore he fancies that he shall retain the honours and patronage attend ant thereon by making the burgesses believe that he is toiling for their welfare4albeit his desire is to uphold a whig monopoly and the " swingeing" borough -rate. We rather think that he deceives himself. He is " Yorkshire" to perfection ; but those he hopes to dupe are "Yorkshire too," and the new movement will fail.' There will be a great splutter—a great deal of parade— a volume of newspaper puff—and not a little of the Messrs. Marshall's money will be squandered—and these will be the only results. We do not think that Mr. H. C. Marshall's views as to the representation of the borough of Leeds in the House of Commons will be one whit advanced by the conversion of the firm's flax mill into a political debating shop. THE STARVATION LEAGUE . (From the Bristol Journal.) • Mr. Paulton , the worthy emissary of the IVlanchester white slave-owners, delivered on Tuesday another lecture about cheap bread in the Socialist den. The humbug of all this crocidile philanthropy, in a set of grasping tyrants who grind the faces of their own workmen, is now so well understood by the working classes, to whom we gave a useful " Hi n t" last spring, that Polish corn and Polish wages are now re ceived by them as convertible terms. This fact, coupled with a rumour that the lecturer has been as soundly floored in se veral places as Robert Owen was last week in Bristol, caused some rather ugly marks of impatience" in the meeting ; and as the Chartists dearly love to hear themselves talk, the " lecture" amounted to a general row, which terminated in some one (wiser than the rest) stopping the gas • whereupon the whole c om p an y groped th e i r way on th e i r heels or their heads, or on all-fours, as they best might, out of the room. Mr. Paulton and Mr. Owen may now take their departure together for the regeneration of mankind in some other place. Of the rubbish which this lecturer gave about the corn laws, it suffices to say that it has been refuted a thousand times to the comprehension of all men of average sense, and leaves untouched our argument on " cheap bread," (14th of March, 1840) wherein we proved fharthe repeal of the corn laws would produce— First. A. general bankruptcy, from the export of bullion. Second. A general famine,—from the cessation of the growth of wheat in England with nu adequate increase of it abroad ; and from the resistance of the people abroad to the export of it. Third. That the agricultural population, four times as nu merous as the manufacturing, must all flock to the manufac turing market for employment. Fourth. That the home market, which consumes three fourths of our manufactures, being at an end, our manufac tures would afford employment for only 1-12th of the people. Fifth. That the states from which we bought corn could not take our manufactures in exchange, because—what occa sions the corn to be cheap—the producers are Polish serfs who have not a penny to lay out. Sixth. That no other nations will or can take our manu factures to 1-10th of the amount required. Seventh. That if they would, our operatives must work for one shilling where they now receive five, and pay (sup pose) one shilling for bread where they now pay two ! Eighth. That instead of paying one shilling they would probably pay more than two : for corn would then be a complete monopoly in the hands of a few millionaries, who need only wait a few weeks to raise it to any price ! ! We proved all these things : let any man who does not make them his creed read over our argument. We are sick, not more of the disgusting mendacity which raises all this din about the corn laws, than of the stupidity of those who suffer any man to stand up in public and utter it. The far mers seem to be in great want of thrashing machines. A man of rank, hearing that two of his female relations had quarrelled, asked, " Did they call each other ugly ?" " No." " Well, well, I shall soon reconcile them." Large flocks of wild geese have been seen in the neigh bourhood of Poulton-le-Fylde during the past week, a con siderable number of which have been shot, and sold at the rate of 2s. 6d. each. SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY. —Last wesk we related a little anecdote which involved a suggestion of the highest importance to all who contemplate a plunge into the holy estate of wedlock. Since that period another amusing tale has reached our ears, and it too occur red in the parish church of this town. Some time ago a cou ple presented themselves at the altar ; the bridegroom was a hale-looking youth, and the bride, according to our inform ant, who has an eye for that sort of thing, was exceedingly pretty. The first part of the ceremony went on smoothly and pro —" perly ; but wh en the officiating priest put to the lady the home question wilt thou take this man to thy wedded husband ?" she dropped the prettiest courtsey, and with a modesty which lent her beauty an additional g race, replied d 4 , if you please, si r ." Ch arming simplicity ! —Blackbur n Standard. (F*m the Glasgow Argus.) On the authority of a letter received by a gentleman in • Edinburgh, we announced, on Monday, the stoppage of the above concern, and the flight of the managing directors, which , has since been confirmed from other sources. The history of this establishment places, in a very strong light, the de fective state of the law regarding joint-stock companies, and proves the necessity of some legislative enactment, by which they may be brought under proper controul. It has long . been matter of public notoriety, that the Independent West Middlesex Company was a concern established without ca pital, by individuals of even worse than doubtful reputation. The Dublin and Quarterly Reviews, in articles published some time back; showed that their rates were of the most fallacious description, and that it was impossible they could exist as a company, and make good the promises which they held out. So long, however, as any portion of the public remained to be gullgd, the concern went on, in defiance of every exposure, and there was no provision in the law by which the parties could be laid hold of. • The Independent West Middlesex Assurance Company was established in 1836, by four individuals, whose characters will not bear a very close investigation. One of them had, at one period, kept the tap of a tavern in Aldermanbury-street, London. He afterwards became shopman to a small tallow chandler, in Upper Berkeley-street, where he subsequently carried on business on his own account, but without success. After moving about from place to place, the same bad fortune following him, he was known as a house agent at the time the company started. Another of the party was originally a foot man, and afterwards got engaged in several concerns, none of which succeeded. H e k ep t a pe t ty furnishing shop for a short time in Gloucester, where he became insolvent about 1827. Towards the end of 1829, he spent several months in White Cross-street Prison, from which lie was released un der the insolvent debtors' act. At this period his clothes were in pawn, and he was in such a state of utter destitution, that he excited the compassion of the governor of the prison, who generously advanced him upwards of four pounds to re lieve his clothes, receiving his written obligation to repay the same when demanded. At an after period, when he was dis covered to be living at an elegagt house in Connaught-terrace, and driving his carriage and pair, the governor sent to him for the money, which he refused to pay, alleging as his reason that he was freed from it by the statute of limitations. From the time he left White Cross-street Prison, he acted as shop man to the tallow-chandler previously mentioned. The third was an attorney in very poor circumstances, who, in 1831, went through the Bankruptcy Court. He was one of the di rectors and the solicitor for the notorious 'Equitable Loan Company, which was blown up in 1838. The fourth was an apothecary, and had a small shop in the neighbourhood of where the first-mentioned of the four resided. In 1832, he spent several months in the Queen's Bench Prison, where he was in a state of the utmost destitution, and was known by his fellow-prisoners under the name of " Poor Jemmy." The four individuals, of whom we have given some ac count, are believed to have been the sole originators of this precious concern. They subsequently admitted as managing directors, a journeyman blacksmith, along with the porter of the establishment; and the two latter, in conjunction with one of the four, signed all the policies and annuity bonds. The ex-tallow chandler, in his capacity of house agent, had the disposal of the premises in Baker-street, London, which were fitted up for the office of the company. A. few tables, chairs, &c. were scraped together in the best way the parties could, and the sign was put up, of the Independent West Middlesex Assurance Company, of which the sole partners were the individuals alre a dy alluded to, or possibly one or two others in like desperate circumstances. Prospectuses were issued, by which the company professed to be consti tuted under various acts of parliament; and an imposing array of names appeared as directors, many of which were chosen as being identical with those of well-known and highly respectable gentlemen in London. Suspicion was at an early period excited, by the low rates at which thy com pany transacted business ; and it soon became known, that the individuals who were put forth as directors, were not the well-known gentlemen of the same names. Still, however, from the disgraceful state of the law of libel, those who knew the real state of matters were afraid to speak out ; and our contemporary, the Scotch Reformers' Gazette, has the credit of being the first journal that exposed the concern, for which the proprietors have been landed in several actions of damages, and put to great trouble and expense. At the outset, Messrs. Coutts and Co. were announced as the bankers of the concern ; but they soon ordered their names to be withdrawn from the advertisements. The com pany then out forward the Bank of England, who, after making enquiry regarding the parties, ordered the account to be shut. The Western Bank of Scotland, who bad been announced as the Scottish bankers, were obliged to threaten proceedings before they could get their names withdrawn. Notwithstanding these adverse occurrences, and in the face of the exposure made in Glasgow, the company still went on ; and their.gains ' from what has transpi re d, mus t h ave b een considerable. It appears, by a search made at the Enrol ment Office, Chancery-lane, London, where all annuity bonds are registered, that, down to the month of November, 1849, the sum of £98,000 had been paid into the concern for the purchase of annuities. The money received in the shape of premiums for fire and life assurances must also have been large ; and, although no correct approximation can be made, it does not seem improbable to estimate their total gains at somewhere about £200,000. That money was flowing at a rapid rate into the exchequer was soon made manifest by the altered circumstances of the concoctors of the scheme. The ex-tallow-chandler and house agent built nine splendid houses as an investment at Maida Hill, to the west of London, in one of which he took up his residence, keeping several male servants, and driving into town in his carriage. He further purchased various proper ties in different parts of the metropolis, at a cost, as has been ascertained, of upwards of £20,000. The ex-footman pur chased an elegant house in Connaught-terrace, where he lived in considerable splendour, and drove his carriage and pair. In Glasgow, premises were purchased for the use of the concern, in Ingram-street, and several sums of money were lent out upon heritahle securities, a portion of which, it is hoped, may be made available for the behoof of the suffer ers in this quarter. Between three and four thousand pounds is understood to be about the amount received by the com pany here in the annuity branch of their business, included in which, is a sum sunk for the behoof of the children of the late John Tait, editor of the Liberator newspaper. Their transactions in Glasgow, however, which at one time were large, fell off from the period of the exposure to which we have alluded, and, although the office was still kept open, it is believed that money did not come in. Persons who had effected fire insurances went off to other offices, glad to es cape with only the loss of the premiums. The unfortunate individuals who had sunk money upon annuities were differ ently situated ; but down to a late period, for the sake of preserving appearances, the annuities were paid. On Tues day last, the office was finally closed,—the individual who, for some time, has acted as agent, and who is understood to be the son of the ex-footman, having hurriedly taken his de parture from Glasgow, He is said to have stated to a gen tleman, whom he chanced to see before he walked off, that he had received no money from London since last September, and it is quite certain that he had received none here, as no new transactions had for a long time been entered into. Although the Independent West Middlesex Assurance Company displayed the utmost eagerness to procure busi nessf their conduct was different when losses by fire took place, or when individuals died who had their lives insured with the concern. At Dublin, a life policy fell due, and pay ment was refused ; but, upon legal proceedings being insti tuted, the claim was settled; and the agent in Dublin was so annoyed at the conduct of the company, that he abandoned the agency. At Johnstone in the neighbourhood of Paisley, a fire occurred in the premises of Messrs. Allan and Watson, cotton-spinners, who were insured with the West Middlesex, and payment was refused of the claim of about £1,600, on various unfounded pretences. Legal proceedings were, in consequence, instituted, and funds, which the concern had in Scotland, were fortunately arrested, else a different result might have ensued. After a protracted and expensive liti gation, and within a few days of the time fixed for the trial, the Middlesex abandoned the case, and allowed decreet to he passed against them—and Messrs. Allan and Watson ulti mately recovered the whole of their demand, and the ex penses incurred. We give these merely as examples of the manner in which the Middlesex proceeded ; and might quote numerous cases, of a similar nature, from all parts of the country, in which actions are, at this moment, pending. The Middlesex Company professed great indignation at exposure which was made regarding them, and actions of damages were commenced at their instance in the Court of Session. They first raised two actions against the proprietors of the Reformers' Gazette, and four against the agent in Glasgow of the County Fire Office, Messrs. Allan and Wat son, &c., all of which were dismissed. The actions were then repeated in another form, and certain of them were ex pected to have gone before a jury in March. • Had these been proceeded in, we are informed that the disclosures that would have been made are of the most extraordinary charac ter, both in regard to the principal actors in the scheme, and to the manner in which they proceeded in getting up the pre tended company. Although in possession of much curious and startling information on the subject, the nature of which may be readily guessed at from what we have just laid before our readers, we deem it right for the present to defer going further into detail. It is evident that the parties implicated had in contemplation the speedy bursting of the nefarious bubble which they sent afloat ; and their whole object for some time has been, by raising actions of various kinds, to maintain a certain description of reputation, under cover of which they might secure as large an amount of plunder as possible. In November last, the Stamp Office gave instruc tions to proceed against them for the duties due in the pre ceding month of May. Whether the parties were not pre pared for flight, and paid the amount, we are not aware ; but we may be tolerably certain that it has not been settled, if they could possibly avoid doing so. We trust, that, even in the present uncertain state of the law, means will be found to punish the guilty authors of this plot ; and, at all events, that parliament will speedily direct its attention to some measure, by which the public may be protected from the frauds that it is clear can be practised by persons'assuming the designation of joint-stock companies. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MISCELLANY, The Cassel Gazette says, " English lawyers are at present in Hanover, discussing the claim which the king makes to some crown jewels, now in the hands of the Queen of En gland. It is reported that the king intends to institute a suit at law against her Majesty for their recovery." The health of Sir J. Carnac, governor of Bombay, is stated to be very indifferent. By the last accounts from that presidency, he was about to take a trip to sea, and it is ru moured that if this measure does not produce the desired effect, he will eventually proceed to the Cape ; he was about to proceed to Baroda. THL BANK DEBT OF AMERICA. — Senator Walker, in a letter to the people of Mississippi, says :—" The loans now made by all the various banks of the Union, exceed by the last official returns five hundred and twenty millions of dol lars, upon which, (exclusive of exchange and other shaving operations) is extracted, at the average rate of seven per cent. interest, an annual interest of thirty-six millions seven hun dred and fifty thousand dollars ; being an annual interest nearly equal to all the specie in all the banks in the union ; thus exhibiting an annual interest of one hundred per cent. upon all gold and silver held by the banks." —New York paper. The Brussels papers mention that the Senne, which runs through that capital, has been deeply flooded, as well as the Sambre, and most of the rivers in Belgium, in consequence of the sudden thawing of the snow. Gazette de Cologne publishes a letter from Vienna of the Bth, mentioning that the Archduchess of Parma and the Duchess of Angouleme were both dangerously ill. The Archduke Frederick was expected back in Vienna f rom S on the 15th. GALE AT ROME.—A gale of wind, according to the Diario di Roma, blew with such violence in the P on tifi ca l c i ty on the sth instant, that it caused the great bell at the Roman College to sound. Its force seems to have been limited to a height of about 160 feet from the level of the sea, as during the whole time there was a complete calm'at the summit of the astronomical observatory. Extract of a letter from Lima, August 20 :—" The Peru. vian government, endeavouring by all means in its power to subject foreigners to the same charges as natives, has deci ded, in virtue of the constitution of Huancayo (a constitution drawn up under the constitution of the bayonets), that fo reigners purchasing landed property or houses in Peru thereby become Peruvians.

ORIGIN OF THE DIFFERENT RACES OF HUMAN BEINGS (From a Note to Dr. Pye Smith's Work on Geology.) From all that I have been able to learn (and upon Dr. ritchard's work I rely as my great physiological authority), appears to be established that all the diversities of configu ration which belong to human beings, may be satisfactorily referred to external agents continuing their influence through many generations : for it is with those nations whieh have retained the same mode of life unvaried from time immemo rial, and in whom, therefore, th e hereditary predisp os iti on has been sustained by the unceasing action of similar causes —with those nations it is that the greatest deviations are found from the standard human form. We cannot, indeed, affirm it to be an impossibility that the Almighty Creator should have seen fit to bring originally into being duplicates, triplicates, or other multiples of pairs, formed so alike that there should be specific difference be tween them. Yet it appears antecedently improbable, and it is unnecssary ' • for, grant an ex tension of time not a t a ll prodigious, with all the requisite provisions for sustenance, and a sufficient increase of posterity will ensue from a single pair. - All the probabilities of the case (and they amount to a high degree of moral evidence) seem to warrant our adoption of De Larrey's theory that the Arabs are the primitive race. Let us then take some brunette hue for the normal complex ion of the human race ; and let all the existing colours be re presented by radii from a centre, diverging in all directions. The differences would i ncrease w ith the distance, and the ex tremities of the lines, in opposite parts of the periphery, would present contrasts of colour, and every other deviation produced by the range of causes. But the gradation supposed, and proved by examples, pre sents us with shades of brown only. We have no instance of a white family or community acquiring the proper negro colour, nor of a negro family losing its peculiarity and be coming of a proper, healthy, North European white, there are no intermarriages with fair persons, long continued in the favourable direction. This, I believe, must be admitted ; and another fact, of great importance, must be added to it. The recent'explor ings of the Egyptian tombs and templeslave brought to light pictures of native Egyptians, and of men and women of other nations, comprising negroes, who are distinguished by their characteristic form of face and their completely black colour. Some of these highly interesting representations are proved to be of the age of Joseph, and earlier, and some in which negro figures occur are of the eighth century after the flood. Assuming, then, that the complexion of Noah's family, as what I have ventured to suppose, as the normal brown, there was not time for a negro race to be produced by the opera tion of all the causes of change with which we are acquainted. On the other hand, some of the Egyptian figures, particularly those consigned to constant labour under the sun, and (which is very remarkable) persons performing religious ceremonies, are of a brown so deep, as to be almost black. It is unreasonable to expect, that a more perfect acquaint ance with the physiology of the mucuous membrane, and particularly in the negro subject, remains yet to be acquired ? I look, with a feeling almost of impatience, to the publica tion of Dr. Pritchard's third volume of " Researches into the Physical History of Mankind ;" in which one cannot doubt that this subject will be discussed. But, to any right mind I appeal, whether, in relation to a subject so complicated, this one difficulty, even should it never be scientifically disposed of, is of sufficient weight to overbalance all the evidences, both bhysical and moral, (so ably treated on in Dr. Pritchard's Book 11. chap. ii), phy sical, philogical, and historical, which flow together in proof of the unity of the human race, by derivation from one an cestry. _ . Biit, if the progress of investigation should bring out such kinds and degrees of evidence as shall rightfully turn the scale in favour of the hypothesis that there are several races of mankind, each having originated in a different pair of first ancestors, what would be the consequence to our highest in terests, as rational, accountable, and immortal beings ? Would our faith, the fountain of motives for love and obedi ence fe God, virtuous self-government, and universal justice and kindness ;—would this faith, the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, sustain any detri ment, after, by due meditation and prayer, we had sur mounted the first shock ? Let us survey those consequences. If the two first inhabitants of Eden were the progenitors, not, of all human beings, but only of the race whence sprung the Hebrew family, still they were formed by the immediate povier of God ; and all their circumstances, stated or im plied in the Scriptures, would remain the same as to moral and practical purpose. Adam would be " a figure of him that was to come," the Saviour of mankind, just as :Melchizedek. or Moses, or Aaron, or David : the spiritual lesson would be the same. The sinful character of all the tribes of men, and the in dividuals composing them, would remain determined by the most abundant and painfully demonstrated proofs, in the history of all times or nations. The way and manner in which moral corruption thus infected all men, under their several heads of primeval ancestry, would be an inscrutable mystery—(which it is now;)—bra the need of Divine mercy, and the duty to seek it, would be the same; the same neces sity would exist of a Saviour, a redemption, and a renova tion of the internal characler by efficacious grace. That the Saviour was. in his human nature, a descendant of Adam, would not militate against his being a proper re deemer for all the races of mankind, any more than his being a descendant of Abraham, Judah, and David, at all di minishes his perfection to save us " sinners of the Gen tiles." Some difficulties in the Scripture history would be taken ; such as the sons of Adam obtaining wives, not their own sisters; Cain's acquiri ng instruments of husbandry, which must have been furnished by miracle immediately fr om God upon the usual supposition Oils apprehensions of punish ment (" any man that findeth me will slay me") ; his fleeing into another region, of which Josephus so understands the text as to affirm that Cain obtained confederates, and became a plunderer and robber, implying the existence of a popula tion beyond his own family; and his building a city. The characteristic differences of the great divisions of man kind, physical and intellectual, would create no difficulty in our reasoning for instance, the mental distinctions laid down by Dr. Morton : " The Caucasian race ; distinguished for the facility with which it attains the highest intellectual endow ments. [ls there no flattery here? Are the effects of cen turies of cultivation sufficiently considered? The Mongo- Tian ;—ingenious , imitative , and highly susceptible of culti vation.—The Malay ; active and ingenious, and possessing all the habits of a migratory, predaceous, and maritime peo ple.—The American ; averse to cultivation, slow in acquiring knowledge, restless, revengeful, fond of war, and wholly des titute of maritime adventure.—The Ethiopian ; joyous, flexi ble, and indolent; the many nations which compose this race, presenting a singular diversity of intellectual character, of which the far extreme is the lowest grade of humanity." The hypothesis will almost diminish our surprise, but not our sor row, that many fine nations of men have appeared incapable of being persuaded by all the attempts of wisdom and hu manity, as well as the stern demands of want; so that they prefer to perish by inches, rather than to cultivate the soil, and adopt those habits of civilized life by which they might be preserved ; and that thus they appear to have had no share in the divine appointment to " increase and multiply and replenish the earth." See reflections upon this fact, at the , close of a very interestin g ar ti c l e e n titled The Red Man," in the Quarterly Review, March, 1840. In like manner it would furnish a solution to the question, why any tribes of men refuse to fix themselves in climes, warm, fertile, and comfortable, and in which there were no impediments to their stay, and should push on to such countries as Tirra del Fuego, where they miserably exist, with scarcely shelter, clothing, and food. Even the purifying and ennobling in fluence of Christianity, of which the Americans in particular have shown themselves powerfully - susceptible, has not sur mounted these difficulties. But, allowing to the utmost these confessedly very re mar k a bl e disagreements, Dr. Prit chard is of opinion that they afford no proof of diversity of origin, and that differences equally great may be pointed out as not only characterising individuals, but making families in the bosom of English society. With regard to Acts xviii. 26, it cannot be proved that " one blo o d" necessar il y signifies descent from a common ancestry ; for, admitting a specific identity, though having proceeded from distinct foci of creation, both the physical and the mental characteristics would be the same in all es sential qualities. Thus; if this great question should ever be determined in the way opposite to what we now think the verdict of truth, the highest interests of man will not be affected.

Standard-office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tnts DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN 8r SONS' Circular.) Notwithstanding the favourable change of wind, noticed in the early part of the week, the supplies of Wheat, Oats, and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland, are only mode rate, and of other articles thence extremely small ; of fo reign produce also, solely from the continental ports of Eu rope, the arrivals consist merely of 1209 quarters'of Wheat, 427 of Beans, and 1990 of Pease, having no Grain or Flour from the American States or Canada fresh in for to-day. During the interval between our first and second markets this week, the Corn trade on the whole has been rather ina nimate here, but without the least disposition on the part of holders to submit to lower terms ; the general prices stated in our last report remained steady. The duties on all foreign and colonial produce continue peecisely the same as last week. Having but a slender attendance of country buyers at this day's market, and our local millers still remaining inactive, the operations in Wheat were limited in amount :—the sel lers, however, continued to evince the same degree of firm ness as of late, and in the few sales effected, all descriptions appeared to maintain the full rates of Tuesday. In the Flour trade likewise, we had little business passing to-day, but no actual change in prices. Prime malting Barley, being scarce, would readily com mand quite as high terms as last noted, and grinding parcels, although in slow request, are unaltered in value. Fine Malt fully supports our last quotations, whilst infe rior qualities are nearly unsaleable, and offering ineffectually at much lower rates. Beans upon a limited demand, are the turn cheaper, and Pease, being plentiful, hardly realize former prices. Oats, coming forward rather slowly, and several cargoes having been taken for country consumption, sustain our last currency.—Ooatmeal, on the contrary, upon a dull sale this morning, was slightly depressed in value.

We perceive no new feature in the Cotton market to-day; there has been a fair trade demand at steady prices ; the quantity sold is estimated at rather more than 4000 bales. We hear .of about 100 Pernams, 9d 100 Bahias Bid ; 300 Egyptians 9id to 11d—a few 12#d; 200 Surats 5d to sid ; remainder in American from 64d to :Ad. THURSDAY EVENING. There has been a fair inquiry for Cotton to-day from the trade but not sufficient to give an animated appearance to the market the sales are estimated at 5000 bales at steady prices, including 150( Egyptians from 104 d to 11d, chiefly for Glasgow account; 10( Surats 54d; 60 Bahias 84d and ncl; the remainder American frorc 64d to ncl. 250 taken on speculation. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN 21 The business doing in dry Butter at the present moment is ver3 moderate.—nevertheless, holders of anything fine are very firm and full of the anticipation that the season will close with highe prices. Pickled Butter is held at the extravagant rate of 107 s, am purchasers for immediate shipment submit to it. Nothing ins portant occurs in barreled provisions, and Bacon continues dull. LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, JAN. 20. There has been a good inquiry for wools during. the present week hut the actual sales were few. The stock of Scotch wools is ver: light, and a speedy improvement in the demand for all description may be anticipated. Imported this week : Foreign, 2,464: Scotch gs.

Everything was early sold. Best Beef 64d to 74d inferior, 54d to 6d. Prime Mutton, 7d to Bd, and middling ani Ewes, 6d to 7d per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JANUARY 19. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.) Since this day week the winds have been more favourable for arrivals, the imports of Wheat, Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and also of Wheat, (chiefly Foreign from London,) Malt and Bar ley, coastways, have been to a fair extent ; we have also had a rapid thaw, which still continues, and the slight covering of snow which we have had for about eight days has almost disappeared ;—the demand has been very limited, and we can note no alteration in the prices of any article in the trade here or in our country markets during the past week ; the prospect of an immediate revival of communication by water from the Yorkshire and interior markets to Manchester caused a very dull market there on Saturday. The duty on Wheat from Foreign Ports is decreased Is per quarter, and on Flour 74c1 per barrel ; on Beans and Pease it has increased to 3s per quarter from British Colonies ; on other Grain no alteration since Friday last;—there has been an alteration for export at 25s to 26s per barrel, but the value of bonded Grain con tinues nominal. At this day's market we have had but a thin attendance ; sales have been effected only to a very limited extent of every article in the trade, and prices of last Tuescay have been barely supported.
