THE EVIL EFFECTS OF FREE TRADE " Mr. Isaac Buchanan continues his indefatigable exertions to convince the public that FREE TRADE cannot fail to produce the following most disastrous effects on England : Ist. A redaction of employment of all sorts both at ho:ne and in the Colonies. 2nd. A depreciation of the currency. 3rd. The withdrawal of England's ability to pay the interest of her national debt. 11 our dependencies abroad ation Laws. SUPREMACY ON Tllii SEA, and our becom bearing of a great em- sacred tional c Trade, they cannot suppose any Englishman in his senses objecting to it, seeing that, under bona fide Free Trade, Eng land, as bring possessed not only of most capital but most industry, must have the advantage over all the nations of the earth. The Protectionists will argue that our being able to show Adam Smith's theories to be correct, supposing all the nations of the earth agreeing together to Free Trade, or supposing all the world under one Government, is just showing his theories to be most inapplicable and impracticable in the actual circum stances of the world. The nearest approach to Free Trade the Protectionists think that can exist, without a gross sacrifice either of the one nation or of the other, is a trade in which each nation shall charge one and the same customs duty (say of 10 per cent.) on every article imported. They say that if one country sends to ano ther country twenty millions of its national labour (as the United States do to England), and takes from that country (as the United States do from England) only seven millions of that country's labour, THE TH IRTEEN MILLIONS of foreign labour ought to be taxed in the country into which it is imported, to pre - vent the home labour being actually on . a worse fooling than it, even it the tax were not required for revenue. The Protectionists, in fact, seem not to object to put the foreigner on the same footing as the Home or Colonial manu facturer or producer, PROVIDED HE TAKES PAYMENT 'IN BRITISH LABOUR; and this, surely, is being liberal enough. They think that the best and most practical means of secu ring the workers of England the greatest freedom of trade, or, in other words, the best l and MOST PERMANENT AND WELL PAID EMPLOYMENT, s to make it the interest of other coun tries to open their ports to us, by making our opening ours to them contingent thereon. They will - abolish the Excise duties probably in tote, and stahhsh a FREE TRADE COMME RCIAL LEAGUE, With which to countermarch the North American Union of States, and the German Zollverein, which at first would on!y be composed England and her Colonies, with China (the refas Traders to reciprocate N ry conduct) 'of the Free [i which country has been monstrous 3ut the act will provide that ANY NATION MAY AT ANY ADE LEAGUE BY AGREEING TIME COME INTO Tlif ADE WITH ENGLAND AND HER COLONIES ON A RECI PROCAL DUTY OF 10 PER CENT. ON THE VALUE, IN THE COUNTRY INTO WHICH IT IS IMPORTED, ON EVERY ARTICLE. That this plan would find more emplOyment- and scope for British labour, there can be little doubt •, but, in order to give it a fair start, the Protectionists might be driven, contrary to their declared intentions, to continue Peel's Property and In come Tax for a few years. WE WOULD HAVE FREE TRADE WITH THE COLONIES, AND BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT COLONIES, IN EVERY ARTICLE, it being stipulated with each colony that all the public lands revert to the Crown, and are hereafter to be viewed the birth right of any British subject who chooses to go and live on them. In this way, an enormous and incessantly increasing outlet for manufactures would spring up in the Colonies ; for, to take one instance, the West Indies would he supplied with provi sions and bread stuffs from British North America, and these would be paid for in BRITISH LABOUR . sent to Canada to clothe the him for, as at present, in BRITISH GOLD sent from t to the United States.

Into the foregoing we have purposely thrown something of the "whole hog," our chief object being to excite the attention of the Whigs to the possibility of another party starting up on very popular principles, while we are desirous to make it ap parent that our " AUTHORITY" amounts to no more than that Of_" events casting their --- We are sure it may at least b, our statement, that it is one which Sir R. Peel is much more likely to support, than, at the opening of the l as t P ar li ament, he was to support the measures he carried. Reflection on the almost insuperable difficulties attendant on the introduction of Free Trade even with our Colonies (the only countries in the world which are able and willing to free trade with us), must have the effect of showing up the humbug that has been spoken on the subject of the practicability of Free Trade with all the world. • But to extend the benefits, and, if possible, the name of England to the farthest frontiers of our Colonies, is no mean object, thus enabling foreigners to feel that in the remotest corners of the earth they can hnd English manufacturers as untaxed as in England: That the Protectionist can come into power now seems quite out of the question. The thorough reformation of the Irish Ecclesiastical nui sance must be a prelude to our trusting a class of men who, though distinguished for their personal honour, are equally distin g uished for their Church-Toryism. The Church will no longer be permitted to rule this country in the name of the Government. The Reformation of the Irish Church is imperatively called for as a prelude to the unprejudiced discussion of the QUES TION OF LABOUR, or of the full employment of the country's Industry, that great interest which now must alone be leg's ' or, as seen to involve the stability of all that we hold —the happiness of the people, the Crown, and' the na ;:redit ; but it is also required as a prehide to the neces )cial ameliorations in Ireland, the condition of which country is a disgrace to the empire. The Other Estiddished Churches may be defended as matters of circamstailee, but the Irish one, as now_ constituted, cannot. Some good men within it have been able to do a little good, in spite of the abominable system of which they are a part. But let us compare this with the good that might have been done in Ireland, and shudder when we think of the heartburn ings and animosities which their exclusive system has created, generally ending in the foulest butcheriesby Christians of their fellow-Christians. The 'whole revenues of the'lrish Church will probably have to be deviated to the endowment of a GREAT IRISH POOR LAW, charity being the only religious duty in which the former and present .ppssessors of them consmen!ionsly agree (the State guaranteeing an equitable provision for the present incumbent ty banished from Ire land, the law may, and 4th.

England can get timber (a necessary of national existence) in sufficient quantity no where but in Canada; and I expect to see the Minister impeached who introduced Free Trade, if Free Trade loses that noble colony to England. This, however, will not bring back our supply of timber • and it is monstrous for statesmen not to be able to show w h e r e are to get their timber elsewhere than in Canada, before taking the steps they have. Where will they look, if Canada, even as a colon!, , at once raises the duty for cutting timber on the pub lic lands from one dollar per load to five dollars? That they will do so, or put on an exlibrt duty, is very likely, for the im port trade has so decreased that the customs will not be suffi cient to meet the Province's expenses, unless the debt is repu diated. This step would satisfy the Home Ministers, which nothing else seems capable of doing, that the timber trade is only an English interest, not a Canadian interest. to any great extent. The Montreal and Quebec export merchants, who have little more community of feeling or interest with Canada than if they resided in London, loudly proclaim the timber trade not only to be a Canadian interest, but the great Canadian interest. Those who compose the body politic, however (the farmers), take a very different view of it. They say that the timber trade benefits them, or Canada, just to the extent that flour, pork, butter, and any , other Canadian production is consumed "I , the wr ' —tters, lc tr lt bulk of the price of , Jut tha. .ne gretc timber is paid for in English manufacture or produce.

The Canadian lumberer is an owner of land, and adopts lumber merely for more than agricultural wages.

I beg, however, to mention tao things, which I have long urged as wanting to the practical good government of Canada. First—l think that Canada has been misgoverned, partly through the ignorance and partly through the want of hands in the Colonial Office ; and, as a remedy, I propose that each important Colony should get a separate room in Downing street, and should have for the. future two Private• Secretaries, one of whom should be in the Province and in London alter. nately. Each colony would thus have au intelligent machinery in London with which colonists could co-operate for their re spective interests.

Notvvithstandi the revolutions medicine has undergone as ~cspite the theories which have alternately reigned de spotic in her schools, and tne controversies which have divided her most distinguished ornaments, her ultimate aim has ever been the alleviation of human suffering; for should either the enthusiasm of her followers or the warmth of their discussions surprise us when we consider the priceless object—health; the attainment and preservation of which are so ardently sought by all that a single exception would be a paradox in the history of society. But the aid of the physician is too frequently soli cited to restore lost health, instead of enforcing the study of Nature's easy lesson to preserve it :;- 4 , the Goddess de- mands but simple offerings, and that the possession of her boon requires . us but to refrain from excesses against her laws has been thus elegantly illustrated by the philosophic Thomas Brown—" Between satiety on the one hand and want on the other, the stream o f health flows tranquilly along, which, but for these boundaries, would spot lily waste itself and disappear, as the most magnificent river, which, if .'ispersed over a boundless pain, would flow almost into within—, owes its abundance and majestic b eau ty to the very banks' whtch seem to confine its waters within too narrow a channel."

CORRESPONDENCE SEACOMBE FERRY -WALLASEY COMMIS SIONERS, take it for a pane TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SlR, —Owing to your kindness and urbanity, a letter of mine appeared in th e STANDARD of Tuesday last, upon the proposed ferry at Seacombe, containing some strictures upon a very of fensive article in the Weekly News upon the same subject. The writer of that classical leader did not scruple in the most opprobrious terms to advance unfounded charges; and while stigmatising Mr. Mawdesley as the champion of the " vested interest," he fathered upon Mr. Meadows " all the filth and squalor of Seacombe," and concluded by heaping upon the Messrs. Parry unmerited sarcasm and scurrilous invective, for wishing to retain their own property and defend their un questionable rights. My letter has awakened the irascible dis position of your contemporary, and he has honoured me with the most severe castigation which his potent pen could give. Your learned contemporary has not, in his admirable reply, substantiated one of those sweeping charges which be made against the reputation and public character of a considerable por tion of the Commissioners of Wallasey, and has failed to shew me by what logical process he proves the right to deprive a man against his will of property which will not benefit the public, or add in the least to their conveni nice. If he can shew, that to juggle the Messrs. Parry of their ferry will do the township any good, or that those gentlemen have not uniformly studied the convenience of the inhabitants, and have therefore forfeited their right to the management of the Seacombe Ferry, I will cheerfully acquiesce in the opinion, that a private interest must be sacrificed to a public good ; but till he shall succeed in so doing, I shall consider it an act of intolerable injustice to esta- blislia new The sapient editor of the i'Vekly News ad mits, with me, that the Messrs. Parry " do lose by their ferry," and then, with a consciousness of victory, he imperiously asks, " Why not relieve them from the disadvantage they suffer under ?" covering, in the audacious fallacy which he propounds, all prospective benefits which the proprietors may reasonably hope to reap, as the reward for their long and unproductive attempt to serve the public and to improve Seacombe. The " individual supremacy" of his modern Napoleon over the Gas and Water Works of Birkenhead, was defended and maintained on the ground of ultimate more than present profit. He intimates, however, that if the Commissioners " would give the matter at issue a calm and serious attention, they would find the public interest compatible with their private welfare," begging the question as to whether the establishment will be for the public interest, and taking for granted what it was his province to prove. Hut 1 do not imagine that the Messrs. Perry will find it much to their interest to lose their ferry, and have their _proiTrty wrested from them, even if they should gi v e it thei serious consideration ;" but they must siibmit, with the reflection, that the ferry has become the `!property ofthe pro per guardians of the town." lamat a loss to conjecture how increased taxation and heavy rates can improve the affairs of the township, or how the absence of them " will be destructive to the interests" of the inhabitants. I imagine that the land lords, lodging-house keepers, &c., would vastly prefer to leave the Messrs. Parry in the enjoyment of their rights, than to in cur a heavy debt. When we see the township about to be plunged in debt, the interests of the Messrs. Parry ruthlessly sacrificed, and the Commissioners aspersed for protecting their constituents, it is but natural that we should exclaim against such a state of things. I trust that your contemporary will in his future dis quisitions on this subject be more careful in preserving veracity in his statements, and will not sacrifice truth to interest and aim that his party feeling. In conclusion, party Is quite welcome to all 1 'leg to intimate to irguinenfs, as I shall not again occupy th'e columns of a really respectable journal in rebutting the unfounded assertions which he may advance, or the monstrous charges which he may make.

" 'Mr. Gildea is anxious to be enabled to offer to these people, as premiums, and to others, at a very reduced price, flax seed, in order still further to excite to industry. The laud is particularly suited to the cultivation of flax, which is more valuable than any white crop. Various causes have combined to render the people of this district indifferent as to whether they sow the land or not; and little or no spring work is yet done—in fact, up to this, not ten acres of two thousand, the average number in tillage of a district containing fifty-five thousand acres and thirteen thousand inhabitants, are yet touched. It is almost late for anything but flax. No local help can be had, and before one month four-fifths of the inha bitants will be on the relief lists.' " fo April 16th, 1847. The results of our reproductive labour plan are most satis factory; not only are the habits of industry and exertion, hi therto little understood here, showing themselves, but also an evidence of proper self-respect among the people employed, which strengthens my opinion of the evils of gratuitous relief, and the very great and important advantages of industry. Had the sums of money which the bounty of England has in this day of Ireland's necessity poured in upon every distressed parish, been extended in some industrial employment, under even a defective management, a great amount of good would have been the result ; but fortunately it has not been so ; and we are now reduced to the melancholy position of confirmed and hopeless mendicancy. Any remnant of moral feeling among the people at large appears departed, and the country is in a most deplorable and melancholy state. To stand alone against all this is not easy, but God Al m i g hty h a s, I feel sure, blessed our efforts, and given us fruit. (Signed) GEO. ROBT. GILDEA." We shall not take our reader through the scenes in question. Our object is rather to lay before a sympathis ing public the remedy which he proposes for the perma nent improvement of this part of Ireland, and the deve lopement of the industry of its people. In addition to its natural resources, its quarries of stone and marble, its fisheries, its kelp, and other adyantages for the employ ment of capital and industry, Mr. Browne says,— "I went prepared to see misery general and unprecedented such as had scarcely been equalled in extent or in i tensity; but although I did not see one-tenth part of the suffering going on continually around me, I was quite unpre pared for what I met. Death seemed to pace the streets—in districts where I had before obser►ed a fine healthy race of peo ple, I encountered collections of skeletons, whose haggard looks spoke volumes of hopeless misery. Wretched counte nances—emaciated forms—the dying and the dead—funerals and desolation caught the eye on every side—busy villages were becoming cemeteries cabins are being turned into charnel-houses. I was awe struck. To appreciate such misery we must behold it. May God grant that it be not brought to our own shores. Let those who doubt rather go and examine for themselves, and see if there be not a cause for our united exertions to save a dying people." In the neighbourhood of Castlebar, too, the same good work is being carried on by the Rev. W. B.

CIIE AFRICAN BUSH PEOPLE IN LONDON TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SlR,—Allow me to call your attention, and that of your numerous readers, to a subject which was unaccountably over looked by the public of Liverpool, when the best opportunity for attending to it was presented. I allude to the exhibition of genuine Bushmen from South Africa, to open about the 16th of _ _ May, in London, at .ian-hall, Piccadilly. _ that, of the many thousands who crowded to see them lately, in Manchester, many were individuals from Liverpool, who had discovered their mistake in not paying them a visit in Bold-st. ; e F.gxpi to retrieve their error even yet, by taking advantage of the cheap trains to visit the Lion of London, whicht his sight might truly be called at any season of metropolitan attractions. I visited these extraordinary beings both at Liverpool and Bir kenhead, and can confidently say that they form h . a far the most interesting exhibition I ever witnessed. In addition to the obvious motives which might draw all who, of any age or sex, take an interest in the natural history of our species, it is evident that the amount of attention bestowed, in thisfavoured land, upon these samples of a most degraded race, will pro portionably tend to brighten the hopes of their spiritual and moral improvement.

S.l DEPENDENCE OF THE IRISH PEASANTRY UPON CHA RITY FOR SUPPORT.—Quiet observers have been surprised at the indifference with which, in the parts of Ireland where the neasantry were sufferinff most, they seem to re- gard the present. crisis. They feel, not as if they were to be left destitute, but as if they were about to step into a more comfortable condition than that in which they were before. Whereas they formerly supported themselves, they now seem to think that the land, or the landlords, must support them. The Irishman in the old song, who, when caught in a storm at sea, comforted himself with the reflection that, " he was only a lodger, and that the cap tain alone would be the sufferer if they all were drowned, presents no inapt similitude of the reckless improvidence of too many of his countrymen of the present day, who seem to think that their betters in society, by a kind of vicarious substitution, become responsible for their duties and their dangers. " Come what may, we must be fed," is their language ; " and that we often could not accom plish when there was no blight upon the potatoes." It i s within the knowledge of the writer of this paper, that one of them, who was employed upon a public road, gave as a toast, " Success to the rot," and that it was vocife rously re-echoed by thousands who were working ! about him. This is a fearful state of things ; and the mental and moral condition of those who can thus chuckle at the dire calamity which leaves them dependent upon public support, is even more lamentable than the physical suf ferings which hurry so many of them to an untimely Publin University MaStazine. grave,— anu ny a rouriu Lo Inc) or an aromatic tonic nature.

Extract of a Letter dated Roscommon, February 19th, 1847, from the highly-respectable Proprietor of the .Roscommon Journal Sir _.,—Mr. Ryan, the well-known proprietor of the hotel next door to me, had two very bad legs, one with eight ulcers on it, the other with three, they were in such a fearful state that the effluvia from them was very great. Some time since he made ri journey to Dublin for the p ur p ose o f consulting some of the most eminent professional men, but returned home to his fa mily with the choice of either one of two alternatives—to have both legs amputated, or die !—On his way home lie met a gen tleman in the coach who recommended the use of Holloway's PillB and Ointment, which he had, recourse to, and was per fectly cured by their means alone. (Signed) CHARLES TULLY, Editor and Proprietor-of the Roscommon Journal. To Professor Holloway. A CURE Or A DREADFUL AND DANGEROUS CASE OF . ERYSIPELAS. In the following remarkable case the lady had been both deaf• and dumb from the virulence of the complaint. February 19th; 1847. Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli-place,.Cheltenhain, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with Erysipelas, that she became (how ever extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf, from the severity of the disease, and during the whole of the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, without receiving any benefit whatever, and, as a last resource, she tried Holloway's Pius and Ointment, which in two months perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and like wise restored her to health. Mrs. Stoyle, the very respectable landlady of the New market Inn, Cheltenham, can:bear witness to this cure. It can also be authenticated at the Stationers, No. 10, Arcade, High street, Cheltenham.

[Since the issue of the pamphlet, Mr. Browne has pub lished a letter in reply to some objections raised , against his benevolent scheme—the chief of which are, that the carrying out of the plan will, on the one hand, injure the shopkeepers in this country, and on the other, interfere with the vested interests of machinery in the present manufacturing districts of the north.
