[FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.] On Thursday a meeting of the agriculturists of South Lancashire, convened by the authorities, in pursuance of a numerously signed and most influential requisition, was held at the Town-hall, Ormskirk, for the purpose of ex pressing the feelings of alarm with which they regard the operations of Free-trade, and to petition her Majesty to dissolve the present Parliament, and appeal to the con stitutienally expressed wishes of her people on the sub ject. .At three o'clock, the' hour appointed for the com mencement of the proceedings, the large room in the Town-hall was nearly filled by the leading gentry, clergy, farmers, and tradesmen of the neighbourhood, with a rather large number of artizans and labourers, when the hour of meeting is considered. It was known that great endeavours had been made to procure the attendance of some of the leading spouters of the League party, with a view to interrupt the proceedings, and to disappoint the views of the requisitionists. Mr. Cobden, it is said, had been applied to, but was otherwise engaged. W. Brown, Esq., was in the same position, or probably thought that the locality ought to supply some one capable of defend ing the policy of free trade. Mr. John Rosson, it was hoped, might have distinguished himself on such an oc casion; and every effort was made, by placarding the town and neighbourhood, to urge the working people to attend the meeting, and to demand that they should not be deprived of their " eight pounds of bread for a shil ling." From all these circumstances an opposition was fully expected. It will be seen however that the party could not muster a champion at all, or effect anything more worthy of a row than a few interruptions, addressed especially to one of the speakers, against whom some of the mob seemed to have a little private pique. When the importance of the district is considered, this is a fact worthy of notice. South Lancashire, the locality of our leading manufactures, the feeder of Liverpool on the west, Manchester on the east, and Preston on the north, with a host of other towns and villages of large popula tion, spread over its surface, might have expected, if any county did, to sustain itself under the operation of free trade measures. Yet the protest of this district, so pecu liarly situated, has been permitted to be added to that of the agricultural interests of the entire county, against the present ruinous policy of the Legislature. Amongst the parties present, on the platform, and in the body of the room, we observed Edward Boyer, Esq., Brooklands ; R. B. Smith, Esq., Pygon's-hill, Lydiate ; Twining, Esq., Parbold-hall; T. F. Moore, Esq., La Mancha; Robert Boyer, Esq., Cranes; James Culshaw, Esq., Frenchfield ; Rev. R. Battersby, Cranes ; Goore Balshaw, Esq., Altcar ; Rev. J. T. Wareing, Ormskirk ; Laurence Wright, Esq., Ormskirk ; Robert Wareing, Esq., Ormskirk ; Captain Armstrong, Burscough ; Rev. R. Bickerstaff, Lydiate ; Richard Parr, Esq., Island House, Aughton ; H. Underwood, Esq., Aughton ; T. W. Boyer, Esq. ; E. W. Boyer, Esq. ; John Williams, Esq., Aughton; and John Fazakerley, Esq., Lathom. On the motion of Mr. A. B. Goss, seconded by Mr. Mr. Moore, E. W. Boyer, Esq. was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said—Gentlemen, allow me to express my sin cere sense of the honour you have conferred upon me in calling upon me to preside over the present influential, and I am glad to perceive numerously attended and im portant meeting. I repeat, important meeting, because, whether I regard it as a demonstration of the sentiments of those whose occupations are identified with only one particular class of the inhabitants of this country, or whe ther I regard it as an• indication of those feelings which the landowners, the tradesmen, the farmers, and the la bourers of South Lancashire are beginning to feel, or whether I look to the causes which have led to this as semblage, I repeat that I consider this one of the most important meetings which has been held for a number of years past in this locality. (Cheers.) I believe that you might have selected a man much fitter to discharge the onerous duties which I am called upon to perform, yet, gentlemen, I feel, and I proudly avow the sentiment, that nowhere could you find one who feels more sincerely the necessity for this great movement—one who more deeply sympathises with the objects for which it is con vened—nor one who, as far as possible, is more willing to assist in helping forward this movement for the welfare of the country. (Cheers.) Having premised these few ob servations, I will read the requisition by which the meet ing has been convened. [The Chairman then read the requisition, which stated that it was a meeting of the agriculturists of the district who were favourable to pro tection for British industry and capital.] He then pro ceeded thus :—Such, then, gentlemen, I consider the ex plicitly-expressed object of the meeting; but before I proceed further, I think it right to enquire whether there be in this assembly any person opposed to the terms so • explicitly set forth in this requisitiOn ? whether there are any persons present opposed to the objects which it is the design of the promoters of this meeting to effect ? I pause for a reply ? (One Voice : "We want no protection." Loud cries of " Protection to British industry.") I only . hear one voice against protection in this room—one dis sentient ; I therefore feel extremely happy that I am sur rounded by members of every class of the community— for I know that many of you belong to the working class —that class which unfortunately has been too long mcsled— all of whom seem impressed with the responsibility which compels them to come forward on this occasion to do that which all true Englishmen should do—resolve by every constitutional means in their power to effect the reversal of that system of policy which is by degrees creating incal culable distress in every branch of British industry, and surely, though to some it may appear slowly, effecting the ruin of the English agriculturist. (Hear, hear, and ap plause.) Let me ask you if there is a landowner, a trades man, a manufacturer, or a labourer, who does not feel that his means of sustenance are not greatly damaged by the operation of what is falsely called free trade ? (Yes, yes, and applause.) I tell you, gentlemen, that a crisis is at hand—not a crisis as to men ; not whether we shall retain in power one party or another,—but a crisis that will strike at the root of our social institutions. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is no wonder that this great move ment is now going forward. When we see almost every class of the community sacrificed that onealone may be sup ported, it is no wonder that individuals whose occupations are so different—(but whose interests, let me tell you, are identical)—are uniting together to avert that ruin which at present threatens all. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) We are not met here for the support of a party. I said so before. (Hear, hear.) It is not a question of party we are met to discuss. It is not on this man or on that that we shall rely; but on those principles of truth and jus tice which should animate all good men. (Cheers, and some confusion.) I know that I shall meet with that support, and, let me add, cordial good feeling which will enable me to govern this meeting, and preserve it from becoming a discredit to the town—(hear, hear)—and in order that there might be no mistake, I asked the ques tion, a little while ago, whether any indivinual was present who objected to the meeting. I have :now only to say that the promoters of this meeting shall be glad to see all parties remain; but we cannot waste our time in useless altercations or discussions. (Hear, hear, and applause.) The object of our being assembled here to day is to enable us to be placed in a position which will allow us to com pete with the foreign producer. We say to every interest protect it ; but we say protect the British interest above all othere, in order that the people of this country may prosper. It is not improbable that the present parlia ment may be so pledged to free trade policy that it cannot retrace its steps, and therefore I am of opinion that it will require a dissolution of the body to enable us to effect that which we desire.—(Cheers.) I trust that we shall soon see that body dissolved, and when it is so, then I hope that every man who has a vote will exercise that constitutional privilege so as to enable another House of Commons to deal fairly and justly with the interests of the people of this great Empire.—(Applause.) It is not my desire to speak on the general question. You will be addressed by gentlemen who have who have kindly come forward to move and second the various resolutions, and who will tell you the truth, which is just what we want you to hear.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, I implore you to be firm, to be determined in your purpose, and I hope and trust that you will always take as your watchword, till your efforts are crowned with success—" Protection !" —(Enthusiastic applause.) Take that word with you to your studies, to your warehouses, to your counters, to your labours ; take it with you, and let it be your motto and watchword on all occasions.—(Applause.) Let every man whose interests have been affected by these ruinous laws, say to himself—" I shall be one who will endeavour, by every constitutional means, to obtain that protection for British industry which is so well calculated to benefit our common country."—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Be not diverted from your purpose ; be not led astray from your chosen path, by the wily doctrines of those men who would enrich a section of the community at the sacrifice and on the ruins of every other:portion of our great Em pire,—(Enthusiastic applause, amidst which the chairman resumed his seat.) Mr. A. B. Goss, in moving the first resolution, which will be found in our advertising columns, contrasted briefly the suicidal policy of this country, with the fostering one which had always been acted upon by the government of the United States, which, he continued, could never be induced to reciprocate with us. In proof of this position, he read a portion of General Taylor's opening address, in which he declared that it would be the policy of his ad ministration to maintain such a scale of import duties as would support the revenue of the country, and at the same time afford protection to its native industry. The motion being briefly seconded by R. B. SMITH, Esq., of Lydiate, on a shew of hands was declared by the Chairman to be carried in the affirmative. A demand, however, was made by a party in the room, composed chiefly of working men, that the negative side should be put, it was explained, however, by the chairman and other gentlemen, that the meeting being one composed of the friends of protection, called for a specific object, a discus sion would not be allowed. If the free-traders—should there be any in the neighbourhood—wished to have a meeting of their own, they (the protectionists) would not interfere with them. After a little interruption, an in tended amendment was withdrawn, and the proceedings went on. Mr. JOSEPH STONER, of Ormskirk, in proposing the next resolution, said, that taking into consideration the amount of land cultivated in England, Scotland, Ire land, and Wales 176,000,000 acres), the amount of capital required to work that land, the rates of rent paid, and the amount realized from the produce, at present prices, that an aggregate loss of £7,000,000 per annum was sustained by the farmer. He then took an able review of the posi tion which the agriculturists of this country at present occupy, as compared with that which the manufacturers do, and shewed that, taking into account the capital in vested in tillage, rental, farming stock, implements of husbandry, &c., that the farmer had an investment in - this country o £503,000,000, whilst the manufacturers, of which they had all heard so much, had only £45,000,000 invested in their entire trade, leaving £468,000,000 of a balance in favour of the farmer over and above the entire amount invested by manufacturers in their entire stock, I mills, machinery, and other implements.--(Applause.) What were the taxes paid byagriculture? direct,he meant ? £ls,ooo,ooo.—(Hear, hear.) What amount were paid by manufactures ? £4,ooo,ooo.—(Applause,) They had no doubt heard a great deal about the numbers of men, women, and children who were employed at the factorie How many people were employed in the manufactures of this country ? Why, 9,356,196. How many in its agri culture? 17,449,896. (Applause.) Now they had been told over and over again that free trade was to make the manufacturing interest flourish. Had it done so ? He contended that it had not done so, and quoted in support of his view the fact of the enormous increase which had taken place in the poor rates and paupers in many of the principal towns which wore the seat of the manufactures of this country. He also took =i review of the state of crime, comparing the alarming increase which the late returns exhibited with the small number of convictions which occurred some years ago, and attributed the increase to the destitution which prevailed consequent upon the. Free Trade measures of Sir Robert Peel. From this subject the speaker proceeded to take a glance at our colonies, which afforded him full scope for an able review of the past and present position of our once important colonial possessions. He demonstrated that the ruin in which our colonies are now involved was solely attributa ble to the desire which a class of legislators evinced to benefit the foreigner, who, to a small extent, was a cus tomer at their own doors. He contended that it was im possible for the British artisan to work for the same wages as the foreigner, and therefore when brought into competi tion with ill-fed, cheaply-clothed, untaxed foreigners it was impossible for him to live. They might talk of pulling down the landlord. Which of them would like to see the inmates of Lathom House prevented from exercising that kind-hearted philanthropy with which their names were always associated ?—(Cries of " none of us.") Which of them would desire to see the ancient families of the land —men whose names were handed down in history familiar as household words—reduced to the necessities of a com- mon lodging-house ? (None, none.) And yet free track would just result in that state of things. (Hear, hear.) For what boon to the country were they called upon to make such a sacrifice ? Forsooth, to please Cobden and a few of the cotton lords of Manchester ! In conclusion, he advised the people of England to establish a British and Colonial League, on the principle of the German Zollverein, the object of which would be to protect Bri tish interests from foreign influence. Let this league be reciprocal, and, where due and firm advantages were ceded to Britain, let her relax her tariff in favour of that parti cular nation. He should like to see a party formed in the country who would unite principle with policy, but who would not bend to sacrifice the rights of the great body of Englishmen to promote the welfare of an insigni ficant fraction of the community. (Loud and enthusiastic applause.) Mr. LAWRENCE WRIGHT, in seconding the r tion, said that they were all aware that in this — indeed, it was the case in every country—no class of the community could be ruined without the whole body politic suffering from the effects of such ruin. This nation might be likened to the fable of the " bundle of sticks." Taken collectively, they were invincible ; but, if one in terest after another was to be sacrificed, the whole might ultimately be destroyed. Free trade, as at present car ried out, was no more than a farce and a fallacy. Was England to receive duty free allthe commodities of the world, and were suchnations as France, Belgium, Germany, and America to be allowed to charge their 10, 20, or 40 per cent. duty upon our exports to them ? The thing was ridiculous; not that he did not admit that free-trade, as laid down in theory, might be a very good thing. But there unfortunately was this drawback—it was imprac ticable ;—(hear, hear)—and that system which was im practicable never could be good. (Hear, hear.) He for one should like to see the present Parliament dissolved, and good men—men who had some stake in the country —men who had the interests of the country at heart, 'esolu- elected in their stead. If that were done then the ques tion might be fairly tried, and the sense of the country taken upon a question so vital to its import : but till that (Applause.) He had great adoption of the resolution. pleasure in seconding the Tile CHAIRMAN then put the motion, which was car ried in the affirmative. Mr. FAIR!! intsr moved the next resolution. He said that he had no desire to see trade depressed. He would be glad to see all the working men of England well em ployed, and trades, manufactures, and commerce of every kind flourishing. Nothing could be further from his desire than to oppress the a'rtizan, as some of his friends had accused him of doing. He wished as much as any man present to have a cheap loaf, but at the same time he was desirous that the cheap loaf should be the pro duce of England. If not, then he would ask how were the farmers of England to live ? How were the taxes of England to be raised ? How were the tradesmen and artizans of England to be employed ? How in short were all classes to be fed ? How was the government to be supported ? Would the foreigner do thes • things ? Cer fainly not ; and they might rest assured that the day they became dependant upon the foreigner for the support of their people, that day would see the decline of England's glory. It was, in his opinion, the produce of this country alone which should be cheap. If they reverted to their old and sound system of policy, then he had no fear for future welfare of this country : then trade would flourish, men would be well paid, the rustic population happy and contented, and the designs of those who would degrade this kingdom, in the eyes of the world crushed, for ever. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) JAMES CULSHAW, Esq., in seconding the resolution, said that he was an advocate for protection to British industry beeause his experience led him to believe that such a system of policy was not only sound in itself, but that it was eminently conducive to the interests of the poor. (Hear, hear.) He had, he could assure them, the welfare of the poor at heart. He had no pleasure in eating his own bread when he thought the poor were ill fed. (Applause.) He was of opinion that a great mistake had been made about free-trade; they had begun, as their recent legislators had always done, at the wrong end. There might be soma truth in a few of the principles laid down by the present policy ; but then there was more than a counterbalancing amount of wrong in it. Had they commenced right they would have taken off the duties on corn before they repealed those on provisions—before they meddled with that portion of the tariff which they de stroyed in '42. The farmer does not depend on corn alone for remuneration. He depends as much, if not more, upon his live stock and provisions ; but then, what did these sapient legislators do ? Why, to appease a party they first gave up the kernel, and then threw the husks after it. (Hear, and loud applause.) In '42 the farmer was placed in a disadvantageous position. in '46 his ruin was completed. He contended that if these free traders, instead of repealing the duties upon provisions at all, had repealed the duty on corn when they altered the tariff in '42, the people would not now be suf fering from that distress which they all felt. It was said that they must have cheap tea, cheap corn, cheap coffee. He said more. He said they must have cheap money. (Hear, hear.) If they were to have unrestricted trade then Peel should give them an unrestricted currency to enable them to live under his stringent laws. He firmly believed that the consequence of free trade would be that it would throw so much of their own land out of cul tivation, that when a few bad harvests would come we should have to import a greater quantity of corn and ex port a greater quantity of money than would far more than counterbalance all the professed cheapness of the policy, and that we should have corn in such an emergency much dearer than under the sound policy of protection ; and that, as a consequence, the artizan class instead of being well fed would be subjected to greater distress than they had ever known. They would be at the mercy of the foreigner. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) They had been told over and over again that the English far mer should be able to compete with the foreign grower. They might be able, and he had no doubt would be able to do so, if they were placed on an equal footing with the foreigner, who could take advantage of slave labour,cheap wages, and many other immunities • but could they ask for such helps to aid the farmer ? ! Would the people of England become slaves for his benefit ? [A Voice—" We are slaves already."] All that was against the foreigner when coming here to compete with our own farmers, was to be found in freights and shipping costs; but then the heavy taxation to which the farmer was subjected far more than outweighed that triflng impost. (Hear, hear.) [A Voice—" Join Cobden for a reduction of taxation."] As he had no faith in the present Parliameni, nor in the present advisers of her gracions Majesty, he thought it was the bounden duty of every loyal subject to petition her Majesty to dismiss both from her councils, and he hoped she would see the propriety of granting the prayer of their petition. He regarded these measures as the precursor of a species of slavery in Great Britain, more baneful than the slavery of America—he meant the grind ing slavery of the factory ; but Britains he hoped—at least so long as he lived—never would be slaves. (Tre mendous applause. He would cordially second the reso lution—which was put and affirmed. An address to her Majesty, praying her to dissolve the present parliament and dismiss her present ministers, was then adopted by the meeting; after which, on the motion of Mr. MOORE, supported by Mr. STONER, it was re solved that the resolutions be advertsed in the Liverpool Standard newspaper. The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Chairman ; three cheers for Lord Stanley, three for B. Disraeli were given and heartily responded to, and the meeting separated. COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT. Monday Night Business in the share market during the past week has been less active than during the week previous, and from the incessant efforts of the bears, prices have been lowered a little. Yet very extensive purchases have been made of London stock and quarters, for the whole of which names and money are ready. We are told that about 9000 quar ter shares have to be taken in this market, and large quan tities in London and Manchester, to supply which the real sales have been in no way commensurate with the purchases. There is a great demand for our local stocks, the Insurance shares of both companies are much sought after, and are almost daily advancing in price. Exchange Building and the Bank shares command a ready sale. Corn Exchange, however, are very heavy, and cannot be sold at a decline of £5O in the week. Sales to-day : Leeds Fifths, 7/d; London stock, 113; New Quarters, lip, 33/9, lip; C Quarters, 28/9 p ; Midland, 443 c 44 4c; Halves, 23g, 8/9, id, 8/9d ; Dover No. 4's, 6 11/3 3; Whitehaven and Furness, 14/d. ; Dutch Rhenish, 6 sitl ; Royal Assurance, Ip. As in most cases, after a period of some excitement, a pause has been made in our produce market, and the sales since Friday have been so unimportant as to be alto gether unworthy of enumeration. Our usual report up to that date will be found under its proper head in our seventh page. Cotton, like everything else, has found a quiet market since Friday ;, but the advance noted up to that date has been steadily maintained. In fact, the still further re duced estimates which continue to be received must send prices up, in spite of the waiting business which mini. RUCS to be transacted by spinners; and sboula the neat advises be confirmatory of the lower range of estimates, the consequence upon the market, with the present large consumption, will be more important than some people are probably aware of. We have frequently mentioned the necessity of furthering the growth of the Cotton plant in the East Indies ; and as Manchester is at present urging the same matter upon the attention of the govern ment and the East India Company, we cannot but think it would be well if they threw their own influence into the scale, and prepared, in the day of plenty, for the emer gency of probable scarcity. The following remarks, which appeared in the Albion this morning, so completely accord with our own opinions on the subject, that we cannot resist the temptation of quoting them : " The encouragement for an extension of its cultivation does not rest, however, with the East India Company, but with Manchester herself. Whea a large crop is produced in Ame rica, the spinet r 3 will not look at Indian Cotton, and the holders of Surats cannot then effect sales at any reasonable re duction in price. An extended import from India under such circumstances is not a benefit, but an evil, being simply a dead weight on the market. True, Manchester may desire such (lead weight to help her in her bargains for American Cotton ; but that is the offspring of selfishness, opposed alike to the principles of sound commerce and of political economy. If Manchester really desires from high motives an extended cul ture of the plant in India, let her subscribe a portion of her wealth for the formation of a trunk railway from the heart of Let her spinners the cotton-growing district to Bombay, and likewise enter into a contract with some of our Bombay mer chants to take from them a certain number of bales per month, either at a fixed price, or at a price for Surats proportionate to that of boweds, quality for quality, making the basis the differ ence in price of the same quality of each kind at the time of entering upon the contract." The improvement in the value of the raw material bas produced a corresponding enhancement in the price of manufactured goods ; and although, doubtless, prices must ultimately give in to any reasonable and pro portionate demand of this nature, it has caused a tem porary retardation of business. The sales on Saturday reached about 6,000 bales (2,000 , and to-day, about 5,000 bales have ^- 1,000 on speculation), the market being on speculation) been sold (including closing very firm. Nothing of novelty has developed itself in the Corn markets of the United Kingdom since our last. The in clination downwards still continues, and, generally speak- ing, a further slight depreciation has taken place in the value of both native and foreign produce. The question as to whether Wheat can be produced at ss: per bushel, and allow a profit to the growers, may, indeed, soon b come obsolete, if the steady, though slow still lower prices cannot be arrested .ogression to Our local trade requires little description. There is next to nothing doing, and, consequently, no alteration in prices since Friday. We always make a special clause for Indian Corn ; this article is rather easier to purchase ; some of the recent arrivals are offering at 3d per quarter less money from the ship. On Friday and Saturday we had large supplies of some articles ; we subjoin a summary :—Wheat, 756 qrs. ; Bar ley, 34 qrs. ; Malt, 428 qrs. ; Oats, 3,578 qrs.; Beans, 1,243 qrs ; Indian Corn, 17,942 qrs. ; Oatmeal, 8,938 loads ; Flour, 2,583 sacks, and 14,169 barrels. On the 23rd instant there was a public sale of East India Wool : the attendance was very good, and prices were fully id. per lb. above the sales in December. Our imports continue ",'exceedingly light, consequently our market is still very bare. Imports for the week ending 28th instant :-135 Foreign, 21 Irish, and 81 Scotch. Our market for Scotch Pig Iron has improved in price since our last report. Mixed numbers have been sold at 495. to 495. 6d. ; 50s. is the quotation to-day. 51s.

TIMBER—An unusual quantity of timber is advertised in other columns for sale by auction. MARINERS' CHIIRCH.—We perceive that a tea party will be held at the Concert-hall, on Tuesday evening next, in aid of the Mariners' Church Schools. Several of the principal of our local clergy will be present, and it is expected that Mr. Veitch. chaplain to the late Bishop of Jerusalem, will give some interesting particulars connected with that mission. Several other important addresses will be delivered. A case was tried at the Nisi Prins Sittings, at West minster, on Saturday, in which Mr. Mosley, the well known London dentist, appeared as plaintiff, and a lady, named Houghton, residing at Leamington, the defendant. The action was to recover £52 10s. (less £lO paid on ac count), the price of two sets of artificial teeth supplied by the plaintiff. The evidence related to the quality of the teeth supplied ; two witnesses, on the part of the plaintiff, alleging that they were excellent ; while dentists called for the defence, declared that they were so defective as to be useless and " hideous," The jury finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff.

In cheese rather more business has been done, the sales of the fortnight being about 1,300 boxes, at 345. to 425. per cwt., according to quality ; a parcel of ship-damaged, in casks, realised 235. to 375. A few sales have been made in old pork, at low figures, and of new Baltimore at 565. per barrel. The demand for new beef is slightly improved, but still very much of a retail character, prices varying ftom 675. 6d. to 775. Gd. per tierce, according to quality.

The transactions since our last fined to low and middling descrip- not at r overbdrthehed with consumption We have received several valuable circulars, just pub lished, relative to the Timber trade, and as they contain remarks and statistics of the utmost importance to the trade, we shall proceed to lay before our readers the most interesting features. Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay, in their annual report, state that " In our last annual circular we noted symptoms of general improvement, and in most branches of trade they have been realized, and if, as we then hinted, care had been taken to keep the supply and demand more equally balanced, our own trade would have shared in the general prosperity. This, however, was not the case ; for in the months of October and November, so great was the influx of ships, timber laden, and the accom modation for this great branch of trade so inadequate in point of quay space and yard room, that vessels have been detained from thirty to fifty . days after arrival before completing their discharge, thereby incurring enormous expenses to shipowners and importers, and leaving so large a quantity of unladen tim ber pressing upon the market at one time as to cause prices to recede 1(1. to lid. per foot—n source of loss to importers that must have redress; for with the increasing trade of this port, and accommodation becoming daily more and more curtailed, we cannot comprehend how the timber trade can be carried on profitably to all concerned in its present locality. "Notwithstanding the unsettled state of the Continent in the part of the year, and the almost total cessation of all railway operations, there has been a fair demand for most de scriptions of North American timber; prices remained steady until October, when the excessive import and other causes already stated, forced them to fall—from which to the present they have not recovered. _ _ _ _ _ . "The year 1850 opens with fair prospects of improvement generally. In the manufacturing districts all appears bright and promising, with a good demand for all descriptions of manufcctured goods, at enhanced rates, which appear likely to be sustained ; we have money in abundance, at extremely low rates—the world at peace—and mercantile confidence restored to a proper level: With such cheering prospects, it would not be presumptuous to anticipate a year of prosperity, with an increased demand for all descriptions of wood." The want of sufficient accommodation alluded to in the above extract is a grievance which cannot be too loudly complained of, and as the following extract from the ge neral observations on the timber trade, published by Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming, in their circular of Sa. turday's date, treats the subject more in detail, we leave those gentlemen to speak for themselves : "The shipping occupied in the Foreign and Colonial Timber Trade of this port in the past year, amounts to 260,000 tons, a large proportion of which, say fully one half, addresses itself, in the winter months, to the carrying of cotton • there thus arises out of the interest connected with the Timber Trade of this port s at least 393,000 tons of shipping which annually fre quent this port, and, therefore, well worthy of the considera tion of the Dock Committee. A ship of 800 tons, in the Tim ber Trade, one year with another, averages three voyages a year, and thus would pay to the Dock Trust £165, occupying during that period scarcely more than thirty days dock room ; while a similar ship, in the East India trade, makes but one voyage, and pays .."55 only, while she occupies, on an average, sixty days dock room. The importance, then, of the Timber Trade to the Dock Trust, as a financial question, requires no further proof ; but when the number of artisans, tradesmen, seamen, and others ti-pendant upon it are considered, it be comes a vital question to the town itself, and one which must be determined on very shortly ; for the minds of those engaged in the trade have become too anxious to admit of postponement or delay. Accustomed to the locality of the Brunswick Dock, and many of the trade having invested large sums in the pur chase of land and adaptation of premises, there will natu rally be great repugnance to removal elsewhere, and if it be possible for the Dock Committee, it would be wise to accom modate them where they are; but we fear their power to do so. unless some very different system be adopted than that hitherto in use. For many years they have had constant promise of accommodation, and some years since a very 'arge sum was expended in the purchase of land professedly for that purpose, but up to the present day there is no more approach to accom modation than there was ten years ago, and in lieu of reduced expense, in many instances the cost of rents has been doubled. It is true that plans for the accommodation of the trade at the north end of the town have just been prepared, and that such profess to afford every desideratum of dock room, extensive floatage, and cheap land for storage; and, doubtless, if these points can be satisfactorily proved to the timber merchants, self interest will guide them In the adoption of the accommo dation so provided; but at present, two difficulties present themselves, namely, their contentment at the present time until the north end scheme is finished, and the uncertainty of tenure that must attach to holdings under a body like the Dock Committee, continually undergoing change of members, and, perhaps, change of views ; before, therefore, so serious and im portant a matter as a change of locality for so great a trade like the timber trade can be brought about there must be absolute certainty of tenure through long leases at low rates assured to the merchants, (these advantages are offered to them by rival companies,) and nothing short of them can or ought to con tent them. The policy that would allow them to pass else where, can be only designated as suicidal. Further on, Messrs. Chaloner and Fleming allude to another subject—viz. the internal communication by rail and water—and view with great alarm the recurrence, on the part of the rival carriers, to their former high rates. These gentlemen, in the body of their circular, draw attention So the following erratum : "The report circulated last month, that there is not a log of St. Domingo or Honduras Mahogany in first hands in Liver pool,' is incorrect, as also that `the market is altogether bare of fresh imports,' for though true (as regards the Liverpool side of tho Mersey), at Birkenhead (which is also the port of Liverpool) there was a large cargo just landed, and two other cargoes have now finished discharging. These cargoes, which contain everything that can be desi r e d Honduras Mahogany, wi.l be sold by public auction as per advertisement elsewhere." G RATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.-PRESENTATION BY ARTISANS TO THEIR EMPLOYER. Last sight, about 170 of the hard-working and intelli gent artisans employed in the exensive foundry and en gineering establishment of Messrs. Smith and 'Willey, at Windsor, sat down to an excellent supper at Mr. White man's Brunswick Hotel. The object of their meeting was to present to one of their employers—Mr. Smith—on his retirement from the firm, a valuable piece of plate, the beautiful workmanship of Mr. Dismore, of Bold-street. The workmen at the establishment are altogether about 400 in number; but as not half could be provided with accommodation at the supper-tabl chiefly married men, have 1 JACKS() d, and amidst who are acemer aechanics," to which Finch and Wiley, substantial token of the estimation in which tl are held by their waste The dejeuner was la appropriated as . the L _,wick Club Reading-rooms.

We could not but re mark throughout: the whole entertainment the orderly conduct of all the workmen present; and we trust the example they presented will tend to increase the number of such festivities, and promote a more general reci procity of that feeling which of late years has been ra -.idly growing in this country between the master and the We may also state that they were neatly and 'expectably attired, which may in some measure be taken s an indication of their conduct as members of society. -•ihstantial and excellent; large a meet- d out in the apartments usually The fare proud and the manner ing reflected great credit on• Mr. Whitetnan hich it w 'he testimonial standing about ver epergne, ,f which is of an irregular rocay _ silver ; the stern an elegant around it; on the pedestal is a figure The epergne is on a plateau or -*- pedestal of the epergne is a s the following inscription :—" of the Windsor Foundry, Livt respect and esteem, to Henry Sli... 1850."

They had met that night to present a testimonial to Mr. Henry Smith. It was one he could hand down to poste rity, but it would but faintly exhibit the feeling of respect in which he was held by those who now lamented his leav ing.

The CHAIRMAN the presentation, v "In the early part of the year, the Timber Trade succeeded in convincing the London and North Western Railway Com pany of the impolicy of continuing such high rates of carriage, and they successfully proved to them the different systems that influenced other Companies carrying from other Ports. The result was an abatement of rates, which, for a time, had a most beneficial effect. Then arose a violent opposition between the Railway Companies and the Canal Camels, and after many weeks of contest, there is now a return to the former high rates, and a consequent re-action on the Trade of this Port- The baneful effects of this reaction can hardly yet be fully felt: but by and bye they will show themselves more distinctly, and we shall not be surprised if the carriers are the first to find it out. The Companies seem to think, that, having the monopoly of carriage, the whole of the Timber that comes into the Port must be conveyed through their means, and therefore, they need not reduce their charges, and in this short-sighted view, perhaps they are right; but they forget what a bar they are setting to the increase of the Trade of the Port; every shilling per ton of more than a fair remuneration that they. obtain, is so much in support of rival Ports, which have been brought into connection, on every side, with the Manufacturing ,Dis tricts, by the Rail Roads, managed with the view of developing the capabilities of their respective Ports, (instead of, as here, regardless of any advantage to the place,) and are now pressing us on every side, and by the mere difference of ez9enses;,.un- dersellingiis in Our ow►i peculiar Markets. The stifriulns given to the Timber Trade here, during the period of opposition, ought to be a sufficient proof, that a permanent moderate rate of carriage will be the sure and only means for the mutual advantage and benefit of all interested, both Merchants end Carriers." _ _ We give the _compirative statist year and last, as supplied by Crook : - - - From 2Gth January, 1840, to 2Gth January, 1850 } 395 Vessels Quebec St. John's, &c Baltic From 26th January, 1848, to 26th January, 1849.

MACREADY'3 FAREWELL VISIT TO LIVERPOOL. —Last night Mr. Mecready commenced the first of his farewell performances in Liverpool, with the play of King Lear, in the portraiture of which he is unequalled by any . . living performer, and probably was never excelled by any actor in times past. The:play, however, is not one which is greatly relished by modern audiences. Its deep philosophy may be gathered in the closet; and hence it is only relished by the discerning few, and seldom draws large audiences. Such was the case last night. The house was not such a one as we should wish to see greet the great veteran of the ' '-^nia. although he was finely supported by Mrs. Warner, as G neril, and a very good cast, composed of the members of our local com pany. His acting throughout was very fine, and left nothing to be regretted but the fact that we are at length to lose so fie, tiful creations of the first dramatic bard vvue.... world has ever produced. His "Aye, every inch a king." in his conversation with the sightless Gloster, was superb; and must, by the energy of its deliverance, have increased the regrets of every lover of the drama that such a man should be permitted by a tasteless public to retire from his profession, with all the faculties of an actor unim paired. This evening, it will be seen, Mr. Macready plays Richelieu, by particular request. On Friday, we observe, he has to appear, by command, before her Ma jesty at Windsor Castle, as Brutus, in " Julius Ctesar" ; after which he will appear here for three more nights nest month.
