MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE. THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION is the only Office which combines the advantage of par ticipation in the Whole Profits, with moderate Premiums. It is a Mutual Assurance Society, in which the Whole Profits belong to the Policy-holders; and it is free from the objection of excessive Premiums, which is urged by the Proprietary Companies against other Mutual Societies. The Premiums are low as those of the non-participating scale of the Proprietary Companies. They admit of being so, not only with safety, but with ample reversion of Profits to the Policy-holders—being free from the burden of payment of Dividends to Shareholders. The principle on which the profits are divided is at once safe, equitable, and favourable to good lives—the Surplus being re served for those members who alone can have made surplus payments; in other words, for those whose Premiums, with accumulated Interest, amount to the sums in their policies. This principle, while it on the one hand avoids the anomaly o! giving additions to those policies which become claims in their earlier years, secures, on the other hand, that there is no member who has not been, in a pecuniary sense, a gainer by the transaction, who does not receive a share of the Profits. The practical working of the system has been, that at the first Division of Surplus-15i years after the commencement — Bonus Additions have been made to the Policies which have come within the participating Class, varying from 20 to 54 per cent. on the sumsassured.

And it is to be borne in mind that the higher immediate Assurance in this Office does not involve the sacri fice of the member's interest in the profits, or anyportion of it. This advantageous comparison holds good, to nearly the same extent, with the participating scale of the Proprietary Companies.

THE rapidly-increasin g . sale of this invaluable MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efficacy. The proprietor can confidently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of long-standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resist ance to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generall y it may be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat, and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and purify the blood. The Proprietor has pleasure in submitting the following most satisfactory testimonials selected from a great many " Chatham, April 18th, 1850.

TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN FAMILY ME DICINES.—These medicines have. long been in use, and have inaumerable testimonials in, their favour. They are made up wholly of Vegetable Substances, containing no mineral of any kind, and are perfectly safe and certain in their action on all persons, young or old.. DR. TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA is the great purifier of the blood. and the most efficient alterative probably that is known. lit eradicates all acrid humours, dis.. eased particles, and morbid substances from the Blood, Flesh. and Bones—its assimilation to the gastric juice of the stomach, causes it to pass rapidly into and unite with the Vital Current, thus creating NEW, PURE. and EKE BLOOD. Hence its won derful efficacy in Scrofula, Mercurial Taint, Scald Head, Erysi. pelas, Rheumatism, Gout, Cutaneous Eruptions, Chronic,„ Sore Eyes, and all other maladies arising from a bad state of the blood—hence, too, its value as a Tonic, in cases of languor, great debility, and lassitude, nervous prostration, 'realness, and tremulousness from any cause. It is inestimable in Female Complaints, in disease of the Lungs, Liver, Stomach, Mesen tery, Kidneys, Sze. Ladies of delicate constitutions, suffering from any disorganization, with pale, emaciated countenances, feeble and weak, nervous and irritable, would do well to use the Sarsaparilla. This invaluable medicine produces the most sa. lutary influence upon the nervous system, the circulation, the organs of nutrition and secretion, and being taken, into the sys tem by absorption and digestion, is conveyed intaevery minute part of the body by . the circulating current, thus diffused every. where—made omnipresent—exercising a healthful efficacy on every nerve and blood vessel—on the brain. the heart, lungs, stomach, him*, kidneys, and spleen, the skin, membranes, glands, and lymphatics—the bones, tendons, an d musc l es —th e blood, Idle, gastric juice, lymph, chyle, &c.. eradicating every morbid agent, every poison --,invigorating all weak organs, en riching impoverished fluids, and effecting an en ti re renov ation of the whole system.—Half pints, 25. 6d. ; Pints, 45.; Small Quarts, 4s. 6d. ; Large Quarts, 7s. 6d. Mammoth Bottles holding nearly two large quarts, Its. DR. - TOWNSEND'S INFANT'S CARMINATIVE.—This preparation is also special, and is confined to Infants and Children. The great and fearful mortality among children, induced Dr. Townsend to prepare a medicine suitable to their tender and delicate organization, and, if possible, to save them from the numerous complaints which destroy one-half the human family before reaching the age of five years ! In this effort Dr. Townsend believes he has been entirely successful in the preparation of the "Infant's Carminative," which preserves and protects the health of a child from one day old to the age of five years. Through all the derangements indicated by gripings, vomitings, wind, acidity, &c , during the period of " teething," and especially when passing the second, third, and fourth years, in which Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cholera Infantum, Bloody Flux, Prolapsus Ani, Fits, Spasms, Cramps, Rickets, Distortion of the Spine, Convulsions, Scarlet Fever, Canker, Sore Throat, Croups, Coughs, Colds, Worms, Scald Head, Ery sipelas, Ringworm, Eruptions, Marasmus, or wasting away, and a general corruption of the Blood assail and cut short so many lives, this medicine steps in and restores them in safety and health to their parents and friends. It is a safe and posi tive remedy for all diseases of children, and will also build up strong and vigorous constitutions, establi s h an d streng th en all their tender organs, and maintain a healthy and harmonious working of all the delicate functions of the body.

THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere plea sure in communicating to their Friends and the Public the following new endorsements to the claims of their HOLD FAST and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta Percha Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may well be conceived from the nature of its food, Gutta Percha, Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the letter testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace without a singe upon them.

ARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION ..j PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French, Rus sian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon East India Company, the New River Company, the principal Dock Companies,. and other Public Bodies. The ANTI-CORROSIVE PAlNtbas been used by the Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who.have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion. on. Iron longer and bet ter than the very best White Lead, or any other description of Paint ; and in consequence of its possessing this Invaluable quality, all the Iron Guns and Gun Carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has always been used in great qpantities by other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction,. to preserve Wooden Houses,. Farm land other Outbuildings, Conservatories, Park Paling, Gates, Iron Railing, Iron Hurdles, Copper, Zinc, Lead, old Corupo, &c., Fronts and Tilesto re present Slating. It will be found a very superior preservative of Iron Steam Boats, Iron Bridges, Piers, or any other exten sive Iron Works. This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the•decay of old stone or brick Mansions,, Churches, or other Public Edi fices requiring an effectual defence against the elements. It is particularly recommended. to- West India and other Colonial Proprietors, Emigrants, and, all persons connected with the Colonies, who will find it to stand all climatesbettor than any other Paint. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact that , its use has always been most strenuously opposed by Colour Ma nufacturers, and othersinterested in the sale of Common Paint. Noblemen and Landed' Proprietors, anxious to• have their Outbuildings, &c. properly preserved, will effect a very consi derable saving by desiring their Stewards to. order the Anti- Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby saving the enormous charges generally made by painters. The Anti-Corrosion is a powder, and it will keep any length of time.

FRANCE.—Vice-Admiral Hamelin is appointed com mander-in-chief of the Mediterranean squadron, in place Vice-Admiral de la Su sse, who enters on the reserved list. It is intended to celebrate the fele of the Emperor of the French on the 15th of August with great eclat. It is asserted that Admiral Hamelin has been ordered to pass through the Dardanelles. The levy of seamen in the port of Havre has caused such a scarcity in the merchant service, that wages have risen twenty per cent. _ . . SPAIN.L-it is said that the Ministers are agreed on several important questions, and that they have deter mined on the convention of the cortes for October. ITALY.—The eighth anniversary of the accession of Pius IX. to the Papal throne was celebrated at Rome on the lith ult., with firing of cannon and other marks of rejoicing. On the occasion there was a capella palpale in the Sistine chapel AUSTHIA.—Vienna is the court where Count Nessel rode's Circular seems to be most favourably considered. The effect of both documents on Austrian politicians is described as " tranquillising." PRUSSIA.—The anniversary of the battle of Waterloo was celebrated with great solemnity in several parts of Prussia. The principal je'te was given at the Parta West phalia, under the presidentship of the Prince of Hohen zollen, and in the presence of the Prince of Prussia, to the veterans of the surrounding districts. The Queen of Greece, accompanied b y the Archduke Stephen of Austria and Prince Wasa, arrived at Berlin on Sunday en route to Athens, via' Vienna and Trieste. Their Bavarian Majesties are expected at the Prussian court during the first week in July. Princess Frederick of the Netherlands and her daughter, the Princess Mary, arrived on Saturday, and, after passing a few days with their royal relatives, were to continue their journey to Stockholm, on a visit to the Crown Princess of Sweden. SWEDEN.—The Swedish government has taken a step of some interest to our shipbuilders. It has allowed during the rest of this year and the %hole of next year, the importation into Sweden of ready-built ♦essels of 100 tons and upwards, on payment of the reduced duty of 10 per cent. on the actual purchase money, and a small sum on the tacklage and sailcloth. The Swedish merchants have repeatedly demanded the abrogation of all duty on the above articles. RUSSIA.—The Russian Government steadily follows up its policy of declaring " pacific intentions," and as steadily continues its preparation for war. Thus, in a despatch communicated by the Russian Consul to Prince Ghika, the Czar is said to be most anxious, while oc cupying the Principalities, to prevent his troops being the slightest burden to the people. The Imperial deter mination, however, is very clear. The Principalities are to be occupied, and the inhabitants appeased. By intelligence from St. Petersburgh, dated the 25th ult., it appears that on the previous day a courier had arrived, bringing the reply of Redschid Pacha to Count Nesselrode, notifying the rejection of the Russian ultima tum. This reply, couched in the most civil terms, gives the Government of St. Petersburgh plainly to understand that it is, and always will be, " impossible" for the Porte to accede to any such demand as that preferred by the Czar. In consequence of this, a council was at once summoned at Peterhoff, a Palace of the Emperor's, near St. Petersburgh, and the consequence was, that a special courier was at once sent off to Prince Gortchakoff with despatches. Of the tenor of these there was no doubt. It was understood that General Danenberg is to cross the Prnth at once at the head of 40,000 men, to occupy the Principalities. The whole force under Prince Gort chakoff amounts to 120,000. For the last three weeks letters from Constantinople and Galatz have brought energetic complaints of the injurydone to British interests and British lives by the working of the Russian scheme for shutting up the Danube. The last reports from the embouchure of that river state that there were, on the 10th instant, scores of vessels laden with corn stuck fast in the mud for want of water, their crews imprisoned amid the poisonous exhalations which at this season of the year steam up from the ooze of the river bed. A large portion of the vessels are British. The Queen Dowager of Holland has arrived at St. Pe tersburgh, on a visit to her brother the Emperor of Russia. TURKEY.—M. Balabine, a residuary member of the Russian Legation, left Constantinople on , the 17th ult. for Odessa, taking with him the archives of the embassy, and bearing the answer of the Porte to Russia's last and slightly modified demands. The Porte offers to recognise a moral engagement with respect to all the Christian powers, but asserts that it is precluded by existing obli gations from signing a , treaty with Russia. Baron Bruck, it is said, has had some hand in drawing up•this conces sive reply. However that may be, it seems quite con sistent with every act and expression of Turkey since Menschikoff's departure. The Sultan is- said to attach great importance to the advice of Austria.. The Vorte, it is said,. has resolved upon not meeting the invasion of the Danubian provinces with armed re sistance, but would protest against such violation, and refuse, while Russia continued to occupy, the territories, to enter on negociations. Daily conferences take place between the English and French Ambassadors and the Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Government has given strict orders that Russian travellers and resi dents, particularly merchants, shall be treated with the utmost consideration. The Dardanelles and the forts of the Black Sea and Bosphorus have beenzgreatly strengthened. Six camps, of 15,000 men each, are now being formed, viz., one at Constantinople, one at Adrianople, one at Rustchuk, one at Shumla, one at Erzeroom, and one at Konieh. The Seraskier, Mehmet Ali Pacha, will command the first,. Mebmet Pacha the second, Omer Pacha the third and fourth, and Vassuf Pacha the fifth and sixth. The artillery is placed under the command of Kerim Pacha, and Ahmet Pacha and Mussa Pacha, two generals of distinction, with a numerous staff of officers and engineers, will take charge of Varna and the other strongholds on the Rumelian coast of the Black Sea. Halil Pacha went off about the 14th ult. to visit the various ports capable of defence. The whole Turkish fleet will be ready to sail for the Black. Sea immediately. The news that the combined English and French fleets bad arrived in Besika Bay, spread like wildfire on the 16th ult., and caused indescribable enthu siasm among the Turkish population. The Russian vessels of war are continually coming out: of Sebastopol for the purpose of keeping a strict watch all along the short. _ _ On the 20th a Russian frigate, the Kalumna, advanced on a reconnoitering expedition, and proceeded to within three miles of the entrance of the Bosphorus. PERSIA.—We have sad news from Erzeroum, stating that there have been inundations and cholera at Teheran, locusts at Ispahan, and a terrible earthquake at Shiraz and Cashan :—" At the former place 12,000 to irooo persons are said to have been killed, as the disaster oc curred during the night, and the stench arising from the dead bodies was such as to produce an epidemic very much resembling the plague. From Teheran we hear that the cholera has diminished. The British mission had, how ever, moved higher up the hills, as a matter of precaution." NEW Zt'EA:LAND.—The Bishop of New Zealand re turned in good health to S. John's College, in his dio cese, on the 19th of October, after a voyage of about four months among the Solomon Islands and the New He brides. He was received exerywhere gladly, and. treated with the utmost kindness. He has brought home with him to St. John's College, for education, twenty-two boys and two girls, and might have brought hundreds, if he bad had the means. of conveyance. The deo: seems to be opening more widely every year to the reception of Christianity by the South Sea Islanders, through the judicious means adopted by Bishop Selwyn.. INDlA.—Advices have been received from Madras to the 21st and from Calcutta to the 16th of May. There is no, intelligence from Bombay, nor any definite news from Rangoon, but it was confidently hoped,, at the departure of the mail, that the next steamer would, bring the treaty, duly signed, and that peace would be again established in British India. The entire Aeng Pass was.in our possession and the Burmese had withdrawn altogether from its, vicinity. The- Arracan battalion had returned to Sando way, leaving a sufficient force for the protection of the pass during the coming rains. Sickness is greatly on the increase. Severe cases of fever were principally confined to those men who had been absent in detachments. An epidemic diease, resembling the plague in its symp, toms, first made its appearance in the Eusofzye country,. and appears to be spreading along the north-western frontier. The frontier tribes are at present tranquil. CHlNA.—Advices are to the 12th of April. . report was current at Hongkong that an overland express had arrived at Canton, stating that the insurgents had defeated. the imperial troops, and were proceeding northwards to wards Pekin. Confirmation or denial of this rumour was hourly expected. Another act of piracy and murder, arising out of the Coolie traffic, was committed on the 7th of April, on board the Rosa lElias from Canton for South America and the Havanas. The ship sailed under Peruvian co lours, but was officered, and in great part manned, by Englishmen. Most of the Coolies on board had been entrapped by false statements, or violently kidnapped ; many being boys under twelve years- of age. A sudden attack on the officers and crew was made by a strong party of these Coolies, and the captain with the chief mate retiring to their cabins, were ejected by the assailants pouring in boiling water. The wretched men escaped through the ports into the sea,, where they were followed in boats and mercilessly butchered. The carpenter suc ceeded in swimming ashore to Batavia, a distance of three or four miles. The Coolies compelled one of the crew to steer, as they wished, to China, but the man navigated the vessel to Singapore. It being then dreaded by the crew that the Coolies, an discovering the deception, would murder them, they escaped during the night. Most of the Coolies abandoned the ship. but ten of the ringleaders are in custody, and awaiting orders from the Pertaian consul at Canton. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA, By the British anti North American Royal Mail Steam. ship Canada, Captain Stone, which arrived early on Sun day, we have advices from New York to the 21st, and Boston to the 22d ult. The Canada sailed at 0. 5. p.m. on the 22d, and at 0. 40. a.m. on the 24th, arrived at Halifax, where she was detained two hours and thirty-five minutes. On the 26th, at 0. 35. a.m., passed a steamer, supposed to be the Africa, hence for New York ; on the Ist instant passed the ship Conqueror, bound east ; on the 2d, at 2. 3U. a.m., was abreast Cape Clear ; seine day, off Kinsale, passed the ships America, Continent, and Argyle ; and at 11, p.m., passed the steamer Arabia. She arrived in the Mersey at 5. 40. a.m., on Sunday, having made the run in 10 days 8 hours and 15 minutes. The Canada has brought 170 passengers, and .8°544,000 in specie on freight. The steamer Humboldt, from Havre and Cowes, arrived at New York on the 21st ult. At New Orleans upwards ofir2,ooo had been subscribed for the relief of the destitute passengers of the 'William and Mary, emigrant ship. At Boston a fire had destroyed property valued at about £'30,000. Several cases of Asiatic cholera were reported to have occurred at Alexandria. CANADA.-wThe Canadian Legislature was proroguidOLl MEETING OF ROPEMAKERS.-LAST NIGHT..' A numerous meeting of the ropemakers of this town was held last night at their club-room, Low-hill, for the purpose of receiving the report of the deputation appointed to confer with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of the proposed reduction of duty on foreign cordage. The PRESIDENT of the Association briefly introduced.the objects of the meeting, and called upon Mr. Rowett to move the first resolution, and to explain his mission to the government on behalf of the association. Mr. Was. Rowx•rr• was warmly greeted on rising,. and. proceeded to address the meeting at considerable length, calling to their recollection the election of Messrs. Turner and Mackenzie last year;. in which he took with them, considerable interest, and for which he had been held up to the public as a briber and corrupter of the honest free men and voters of the borough. He had been for many. months dragged before the public by slanders only to be conceived by Radicals, who were themselves guilty cf the foul and disgraceful conduct of which they charged, him. And at the inquiry before the Committee of the House of Commons,. they had elicited from two or three of the men he was then addressing. the full amount of the, crime (if it could be so called) . that had been so shame fully magnified ;—for all that this--tribunal could, by. the utmost ingenuity,, wring out of these men was, that he had paid them a day's pay. for a hard day's work ; and he challenged the meeting_ to say. whether he had ever done more than to direct that such rope-makers as were out of employment (without reference to their being voters) should be employed in carrying flags. These,.and these men only, did he pay ;:and he grieved to find radical morals had fallen so low as to believe it corrupt, dis honourable, and dishonest to-pay a poor man for his hard day's work. Out of. his own.mouth (they had published to the world) they would convict him ; and, after keeping him three weeks at the door,'of the committee-room, they dare not place him before the committee, though he from daylto day begged to be examined, that he might, on his oath, wipe off the foul calumnies they had heaped upon him. But the result of this inquiry required us-to fight the battle over again --to the disgrace of a parliamentary committee,,it must be stated ; and he was sure the rope makers would do their. duty. He had been entrusted with their petition to parliament, and had taken,an active part in the deputation they had sent to confer with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the result of which, would show how necessary it is-for the interests of their class to be represented in the House of Commons. By the cor respondence he would read to them they would see how unfairl7., and unjustly they had been treated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The following correspondence was then read :7-- 2, Manchester Buildings, Westminsteraal May, 1853. Sin,—The deputation of ropemakers from Liverpool enter tain strong opinions on the subject of the repeal of the duty on foreign rope and. rope yarn, and, according, VI sour re quest, beg now to state some of the reasons for their alarm. The. present duty, of Cs. per cwt. on foreign yarn secures to the.ropemakers of this country i the labour of spinning rope yarn, the repeal which will, i n their humble opinion, nevi tably transfer that. labour to the serfs.of Russia, who can on the spot—where.the raw material is grown,-spin. the best yarn for, about eightpence per cwt., and in that form can land it in this country at one-third less cost of freight than the raw ma terial. Now, a very small portion of rope yarn consumed in this country, is-made by spinning machinery, and even that at and t tlr e cost than o w n ha a t il iit a mA s de t tn at ßt a ssah s y u h n an y d ar i n ah is ou t u best. The Btitish ropemaker gets from.2s. A. to 3s. 6d. per cwt. for spinning yarn, which now at full work is barely a living price;, but, on the average,, the ropemakers are not over two-thirds of their time employed. Therefore, the deputatio n humbly submits that, if the legislature repeals the present import duty on yarn, putting this class of labour in competi tion with, the serfs of Russia—utter destruction to their class, must inevitably be the consequence, they and their families ; driven to. pauperism, and the country deprived of that class of art i sans i n ti mes o f need and danger. They are now in a con siderable degree contributing to the exchequer, which Russian, labour cannot do ; and, though It must be admitted that the shipping interest would reap. a, partial and brief advantage from the reduction in price, it must be admitted also that they have never sought from Parliament such remission of duty, knowing as they do, that so soon as the rope yarn spinners of, this country are annihilated,---as they most certainly would be, —the prices would be as. high as at the present m omen t ; and it would then be found that we had been legislating, for the serfs of Russia, to the destruction of our own people, without a corresponding advantage that now superficially appears. The same arguments may be used with reference to the duty on cordage, which would, if repealed, destroy a large portion of the capital now, invested in machinery and rope-making establishments, which contribute largely to bier , Majesty's Exchequer both from, or as property and income ; fur it is admitted on all hands,—yea, it is the avowed object—to obtain rope from foreign countries, because it can be done cheaper ; and, seeing the threatened danger both to their families and the state, the ropemakers feel it a paramount duty to wait upon you with the hope of averting the danger, assured that it will have your best consideration. 1 au),,, Sir, your most obedient servant, WILLIAM ROWRTT A e the Depu To the Right Hon. W. E. Gl a dston On e, Her Majesty's tation. Chancellor of the Exchequer. Doznin9-street, 4th June, 1853. Six,—The Chancellor of the Lxchequer desires me to inform you, that he has carefully perused your letter of the 31st ult., but he regrets to say that he does not think the reasons therein stated would justify Her Majesty's Government in making any alteration in, or withdrawing the proposal which has been sub mitted to Parliament, respecting the duty upon cordage and Foreign rope. 1 am, Sir. Your obedient Servant, William Rowett, Esq. R. W. WILEIRAHAM. 2, Manchester Buildings, June 6, 1533. The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. SI have only now received your secretary's note of the 4th inst., and cannot but regret the deputation was not per mitted an interview with you prior to the question of the re peal of duty on foreign rope and • hemp yarn being settled— as it was on Friday night last,—l may add to the great disap pointment of the deputation, who had waited several days expecting your appointment to meet them, relying on the fullest consideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on a question involving the entire living of one important class in the country. ➢iy statement, to which your secretary refers, was a mere in troduction to the objections to the repeal of this duty, which the deputation was prepared to lay before you. lam sorry a better result of a petition to the House of Commons, and a de putation to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, cannot he reported to the Ropemakers of Liverpool, and I am, Sir, . . Your most obedient humble servant, Wm. ROWETT. Downing-street, June 7, 1553. Slit,—l have received and read with much regret your letter of the 6th. In the first place, I must apologise to you for never having observed that you were already in London. I wrote to you under the belief that until an arrangement had been made for an appointment, you would not quit home. I must say next, that I did not understand your letter of May 3lst, as repeating the request for an interview with me; and when I answered it, perceiving that the arguments used in it were, all of them, of a ague which the Muse Of GoinLhons uniformly declines to entertain, and which indeed justice to the classes already stripped of protection requires them to reject, I thought the best course I could take was to acquaint you at once that, upon these arguments, the Government could neither withdraw nor modify their proposal. I well remember when, in 1842, the high duty was taken off cordage, and the rate of 6s. substituted. I received deputations composedof the most respectable men in London, who assured me, and who themselves believed, and, as they thought, demon strated, that, if the 6s. duty was established, not another yard of cordage ever w;;uld be made in England—all must come from Russia. The change took effect. The quantity of cordage admitted in 1832 was two tots; while the quantity of hemp and jute admitted in the four months ending May 5, 1853, to be made into British goods, is from six to seven thou sand tons,—of which the hemp alone is about one-half. I am much concerned to find that the answer which I di rected to be written to you on the 3d of June, did not reach you until yesterday. At the same time I should add, that as Mr. Mitchell, M.P., had said in his place that he meant to dis cuss the question of cordage, I inferred that the trade were in communication with him ; and as he did not oppose the change, I also inferred that they meant to make no opposition- Finally, I have only to say that even now the law is not changed, and that if you think you have reasons to advance which are likely to indispose Parliament to change it, there can be no reason why you should not state them. But you would, I think, only waste your labour in showing the extra cost of freight on the raw material ; and such points as these, Sir, if they were to be admitted as valid, we must travel back over all the ground we have trodden, and re-enact the Corn laws. I remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, W. E. GLADSTONE. Mr. W. Rowett, 2, Manchester Buildings, Westminster, Bth June, 1853 The Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone. have received your favour of yesterday, and deeply regret that you misunderstood the request first made by Mr. Turner, NI.P., and then by myself, that the deputation should have an interview with you. By your secretary's note of the 30th ult., he distinctly under stood the deputation was here ; and after being here a week, have returned to Liverpool. They would have put the matter practically before you, which I venture to think would have had some weight with you, and the House of Commons also, if it bad been put to the house by yourself. In the absence of the deputation, I will endeavour to put the matter in such a shape as will satisfy them, without violating the principles of the present system of legislation. Now my last letter went to show, that if the 6s. per cwt. duty, charged upon rope yarn, be taken off, the labour of spin ning yarn would inevitably be given to the serfs of Russia, be cause they can make the best hand-spun yarn at about Scl. per cwt., which cannot be made here under 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d. per cwt., (for such is the difference of wages b etween the large an d small seaports); the 6s. duty, therefore, absolutely precludes any import of foreign yarn, with profit to the importer. I pointed out also the public advantage in preserving this class of artizan for times of need and danger, when the bulwarks of England may again require their aid—and that they are now contributing their might to the state, which Russian serfs could not do—and there could be no public advantage in forcing a class of men and their families to inevitable pauperism and misery, or those who can, perchance, afford it, to leave their native land in disgust to live in a foreign country. I presume each class have a distinct right to the advantages of legislation, ar.d not that any class should be sacrificed to what is imagined to be the great public good. . _ As you observe, "my arguments were of a nature which the House of Commons uniformly declines to entertain, and which, indeed, justice to the classes already stripped of protection re. quires them to reject." - - I am fully sensible of the position the house is unhappily in, in this respect. I, however,- give the house credit f or desiring to do what is just, and to distribute the burdens of the country equitably. This is all I ask. But if it should be found, that as we go on stripping class after class of protection, that we are unwarrantably giving away our children's bread to foreign ers, whose own government should have the responsibility of caring for them, we are generous before we are just—we are violating the highest of all principles. I am aware the popular notion is; that foreign ships are now sold in this market free of duty, and invited also to do our carrying business, and therefore to meet such competition we must have every article connected with shipping at the cheap est rate r duty free. I shall not trouble you with following tip the result to which such legislation must carry us ; but you will permit me to say, the Corn-law, to which your note refers, is not a specimen, as it is supposed. generally to be, of the same principle; the ls. duty involves not the principle of total repeal of any duty, but implies a small ditty to be good, the machinery for collecting being always ready for being applied on a larger scale whenever needed. Taking the Corn Law, then, as the pattern, I may reasonably ash a. reconsideration of the rope and hemp yarn duty ; for it must be admitted that a total repeal of that duty is not essential to preserve the principle of free trade as applied to corn and many other articles I need not name. In the year 1942 to which you allude I was-largely interested in the cordage trade, but certainly did not participate in any alarm you say was then entertained by that class in London. I was confident then as lam now that a duty-of 6e. per cwt. on yarn is ample protection to the spinner; and as to laying up the cordage, which is done by steam power and machinery, I presume, in both , countries, at perhaps no great difference of cost, except with reference to the mannal. labour required, which is considerable; but, in addition to. this,. the rent and taxes alone on the making of rope in , this country in the large seaports is fully 2s. per cwt., which•in Russia would amount to about 6d. per cwt. Still there are reasons why the duty on rope may be reduced to 2s. per cwt.,. and still be a sufficient protection to that part of the trade. Ist. The great bulk of cordage is ordered in-certain•lengths and sizes, so various that it is almost impossible to keep a stock of foreign cordage ta meet such demand. 2nd. Russian tar is not the best with whioh to tar the yarn. 3rd. Ships' standing rigging is best fittett to its place when newly made. Now, these points alone out of many are protection to the trade so far as they go, but they do not apply to- the poor men who spin the yarn. The Russians may spin the yarn and send it to this country untarred, ready for being applied to any desired shape of rigging, as well as to inland purposes, of which a large quantity is consumed, and which have nothing whatever to-do with the shipping interest. I hope I have made it clear that though 2s,cluty on rope may be sufficient protection, the same duty on hemp-yarn would•be no protection whatever. It follows that if the entire duty of 6s. be taken off both rope and yarn, the manufacturer of the rope is protected by the three reasons I hare given, whilst the n p o oo t r h s a p v i enneeqr equal whole l ex p p r o o sed tecti t o o n t — he whyho evil.suld h A e nd no w t hyahsvhe en should he handed justice from our legislators? U n les s di s ti nc t i ons of this kind, involving a spirit of fair play in the race with our neighbours, be fairly considered, class after class will be alienated from their country, and dire must be the effect sooner or later—whatever may be the form the of eet may take. Alen who have served a lawful term to a trade. end in good faith with the laws of their country have•brought their sons to the same trade, cannot with indifference look on and see their employers protected in their business by circumstances, if not by Customs' duty, whilst they and their families are exposed to utter ruin by the same law, without a shadow of circumstan tial protection, or a friend in power who will really and truly consider their position.. I have shewn, I hope, though very. feebly and imperfectly, that this is sot so much the master ronemaker's case as it is the poor labouring spinner; and as the power to serve them is in your own hand, I sincerely hope and. trust the subject will have your further consideration, and thetremedy be applied. 1 may lastly add thati.grant the entire effect of the content plated repeal of duty may. not be fully. developed at once, or for a year or two, but the ultimate effect must inevitably follow the total repeal of theduty, as "have predicted. Lam, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, WILLIAM ROWMTT. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, P.S.—I herewith take the liberty of sending you a specimen of the food upon which.the Russian serfs live—this, soaked in water, constitutes their every meal almost without change. Hence the cost of their labour, and the utter impossibility for our people to compete with them. W. R. Downisg-street, June 10,.1853. S I R,-1 am directed by. the Chancellor of the Exchequer to acknowledge the favour. of your communication dated lime 8, and to inform you. that he is so far satisfied to be it possession of the explanatory details which.your letter contains that they confirm him in the impression, to which your former commu nication had given rise, viz. that the arguments which are em ployed against the abolition. of the duty on cordage, are arguments which, if adopted and.applied to that article, would, in consistency,, necessitate a return on the part of Her Majesty's Government to the commercial policy of this,countrY anterior to the year, 1842.. 1 have the honour to be. Sir, Your faithful servant, FRA N CIS,I4A.YKLEY. Mr. Wm. Rowett. --- This, he said, was enough to rouse their determination to unite their warmest efforts to send Messrs. Horsfall and Liddell, to parliament by a larger and more trium phant majority, than they, had on the last occasion. They had been grossly insulted and maligned hy. the Radical section of the reformers, who had brou.ribt so. wantonly and unnecessarily all the labour of anotherelection upon them ; and the depth of their disgust and contempt for such conduct must be shown by their seal. in the good t iwthitgkretahteicrhcelearsisngin. movin constitutional gthata c c a o u na se mi e t f te C e o b n e se a r p v p a o ti i s n m te . al t 0H watche concluded he int b e y . rests of. the ropemakers, and t c o ar c r o ie n d fe w r other towns te b w y n m s r fo . r ß t aA hat x p thL ur , po a s n e d .

(From W. P. Wright's Circular, of June 21.) COTTON.—The inactive state of our cotton market which prevailed here immediately after receipt of the ac counts per Pacific, continued on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday last week, when slight concessions were general on the very limited sales made. On Saturday the sales were on a more extensive scale, and three large " lists" were disposed of. Yesterday there was less cotton offer ing : holders demanded full rates. The sales amounted to 1,300 bales, and the market closed with a feeling of greater confidence. The total sales since the 14th instant have been 10,000 bales. The southern markets are with out much change, prices are well supported, but the transactions are limited, the season being virtually closed. The accounts from the south confirm the previous statements, and fully agree in representing the crop as two weeks later than that of last year. The receipts into the ports during the past week have been 12,000 bales. against 21,000 bales in the corresponding week of last year. The excess is reduced to 212,000 bales, and will be further reduced next week. The excess in export to Great Britain is now only 27,000 bales as com pared with the same period last season. The stock on hand is 100,000 bales more than at this time last year; one-half of the excess is held here beyond the amount at same date last year. The stock is less than in 1851 or 1850. The quotations of strictly middling and upwards are without change ; the lower grades are depressed, and may be quoted Ic. to Ic. per lb. below those on the 14th instant. Holders have maintained their position with great firmness under the disappointment of unfavourable advices from Europe. BREADSTUFFS.—The receipts of Flour continuing very moderate, with a good demand for home use, the sti mulus afforded by the improvement in the English mar kets has raised prices here since this day week to the ex tent of 121 c. to 184 c. per barrel. Wheat finds a ready sale, at 2c. per bushel advance on last week's prices. In Indian Corn a decline has taken place of ic. to 3c. per bushel.
