MUTUAL LIFE A;SURANCE. 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 son-participating scale of the Proprietary Companies. They admit of being so, not only with safety, but with ample reversion of P r ofit s t o 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 favourablfrrto good lives—the Surplus being re served for those memhers 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 of givin ,, 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 Eurplus-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 any portion of it. This advantageous comparison holds good, to nearly the same extent, with the participating scale of the Proprietary Companies._ _ Foim.s of Proposals, Copies of the Annual Report, and every information may be had on application.

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 je'te 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.—It is said that the Ministers are agreed on several important questions, and that they have deter. mined on tae 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 17th ult., with firing of cannon and other marks of rejoicing. On the occasion there was a capella palpale in the Sistine chapel. AUSTRIA.—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 fete was given at the Parta West phalia, under the presidentship of the Prince of Hoben 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 vessels 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 Gertchakoff with despatches. Of the tenor of these there was no doubt. It was understood that General Danenberg is to cross the Pruth 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 band 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 Porte, 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 been greatly strengthened. Six camps, of 15,000 men each, are now being formed, viz., one at Constantinople, one at Adrianople, one at Itustetik, one at Shumla, one at Erzeroom, and one at Konieh. The Seraskier, Mehmet Ali Pacba, will command the first, Mehmet Pacba 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 Ahnact 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 had 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 shore. _ _ 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 15,000 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 ZEALAND.—The Bishop of New Zealand re turned in good health to St. 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 lle 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 door 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 br ing 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. A 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 Elias, 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, on discovering the deception, would murder them, tbey escaped during the night. Most of the Coolies abandoned the ship, but ten of the ringleaders are in custody, and awaiting orders from the Peruvian consul at Canton. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA By the British and 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-rive 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 pas ,, ed the ship Conqueror, bound east; on the 2d, at 2. 30. a.m., was abreast Cape Clear ; same 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 5'544,000 in specie on freight. The steamer Humboldt, from Havre and Cowes, arrived at New York on the 21st ult. At New Orleans upwards of 82,000 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 850,000. Several cases of Asiatic cholera were reported to have occurred at Alexandria. CANADA.—Tbe Canadian Legialature was prorogued on lusuranrc Notirci HANDEL SOCIETY CRAZIER, BEALE, and - CO.l3eg to inform the Subscribers and the Public, that they have undertaken the pecuniary responsibility of publishing the Works, and eventually carrying out the original scheme of the above So ciety. In undertaking engagements which involve so large an expenditure, they solicit the assistance of the original Subscri bers, who, they trust, will afford the necessary encouragement to an undertaking so important and so closely connected with the art of Music. The first Eleven Volumes have been printed for Eight Years' Subscriptions, and rIeW Subscribers may still have the Works from the commencement, by payment of the arrears, viz., One Guinea annually.

GREAT FIRE AT THE , GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED BURGLARIES. 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. " Gutta Percba Company's Works, " City-road, London, Bth June, 1833. "Sias,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the entire preservationof all the books and papers* contained in the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat has in many parts melted the outside of the safe. " We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too ' generally known • and we therefore leave you ut liberty to use this letter in any iay you may wish. "ye are, - Sirs, your obedient servants, "THE GUTTA" PERCHA COMPANY. " HENRY FORD BARCLAY "To Messrs.

"GENTLEMEN,—Some time back I was indebted to your strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering attempts of barglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock -street, and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow hill. The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open, they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain admission by explosion ; but in which they were again foiled. "I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.

June 14, 1333. fl ARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION N.Lj PAINT, specially patronised by the British, French, Rus sian, and Sicilian Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the New River Comps,ny, tha. principal Dnek enmpanies , and other Public Bodies. The ANTI-CORROSIVE PAINT has 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 quantities 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 Compo, &c., Fronts and Tiles to 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 climates better 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 others interested 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.

DR. TOWNSEND'S AMERICAN FAMILY ME DICINES.—These medicines have long been in use, and have innumerable 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. It 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, Pinta, and RICH BLOOD. Hence its won. derful efficacy in Scrofula, Mercurial Taint, Scald Head, Erysi pelas, Rheumatism, Gout, Cutaneous Eruptions, Chronic, Sore Eves, 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, tveakness, and tremulousness from any cause.

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, establish and strengthen all their tender organs, and maintain a healthy and harm o nio us working of all the delicate functions of the body.

(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 hales, 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 pant 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 lc. to lc. 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 12ic. to 18ic. per barrel.

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. Wm. RowETT 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 of 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 dayito 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. lie 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 unfairly and unjustly they had been treated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The following correspondence was then read :- 2 Manchester Buildings, Westminster, 31st May, 1853. Sra,-:-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 to ,y our re quest, beg now to state some of the reasons for their alarm. The present duty of 6s. per cwt. on foreign yarn secures to the ropemakers of this country the labour of spinning rope yarn, the repeal of which will, i n their humble opinion, inevi 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 a greater cost than what is made in Russia by hand labour ; and it is admitted on all hands that hand-spun yarn is the best. The British ropemaker gets from 2s. 6d. 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 deputation humbly submits that, if th e l eg i s l ature repeals thepresent 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 artisans in times of 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 moment ; 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 He r M a j esty ' s Exchequer both from, or as property and income ; for 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 thei r f am ili es an d 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. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, WILLIAM ROWETT, One of the Deputation. To the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Her Majesty's Chancellor of the ExcheqUer, Do wning4treet, 4th June, 1853. SlR,—The Chancellor of the I.xchequer 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. lt. W. WILBRA HAM. 2, Manchester Buildings, June 6, 1853, The Hight Hon. W. E. Gladstone. Si rt,.LI 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. My 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 be reported to the Ropemakers of Liverpool, an d I am, _ , , Your most obedient humble servant, Wm. ROWETT. Downing-street, Junc 7, 1553. Sia,—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 neat, that I did not understand your letter of May 31st, as repeating the request for an interview with me; and when I answered it, perceiving that the arguments used in it I Nere, All of them, of tt uhture yyhtch the !l imo of commous uni li es f the c o l r a i s n s l e y s d a " 1 n a t s o t r e i reject, I thought the best course I could take was to aecl,_,_trj p n p t e e r d t a o i , f protection e vr c • t h i o i which requiresindeed themjustice_tev; you at once that, upon these arguments, the Government cuw neither withdraw nor modify their proposal. +aka off I well remember when, in 1842, the high duty was •-• cordage, and the rate of 6s. substituted. I received deputa.., l° l 4 composedof the most respectable men in London, who me, and who themselves believed, and, as they thougtt,del7A strated, that, if the 6s. duty was established, not anothe r r; of cordage ever w3uld be made in England—all must co from Russia. The change took effect. 'I he quant ity of cordage admitted in 1552 was two tons: while the qtr,V.o, hemp and jute admitted in the four Months ending otr o u. 1853, to be made into British goods, is from six to seven, sand tons,—of which the hemp alone is about one.halP. h di. I am much concerned to rind that th e answer wnic:', e oll rected to be written to you on the 3d of June, did n e . l y s ttS you until yesterday. At the same time I should add, ',, Mr. Mitchell, M.P., had said in his place that he meant ..' re to cuss the question of cordage, I inferred that the trade if c ' e t he communication with him ; and as he did not 01V;i t tari. change, I also inferred that they me an t t o ma ke no OfT°l,lloi Finally, I have only to say th a t even no w the law changed, and that if you think you h ave re asons to:: tbeft. which are likely to indispose Parliament to change 'A i tyo ll can be no reason why you should not state them. f e/ tts would, I think, only waste your labour in showing t " . tbese , cost of freight on tollte raw material ; and such points e 2, bpi . Sir, if they were e admitted as valid, we must trave'cortr. over all the ground we have trodden, and re-enact the laws. I remain, Sir, Mr. W. Rowett, Yo . ur obedient servant, TOO' W. E.

P o or duty, charged upon rope yarn, be taken off, the labour_i k p p e ? ning yarn would inevitably be given to the serfs of ItOra, cause they can make the best h an d- s p un yarn a t a bout p f d cwt., which cannot be made he re un d er 2 s. 6d. to 3 8 %49- cwt., (for such is the difference of wages b e t ween the lalpl small seaports); the 6s. duty, therefore, absolutely P e i. any import of foreign yarn, with profit' to the imPe':4 pointed out also the public ad van t age i n preserv i n g ur artizan for times or need and danger, when the England may again require their aid—and that they,,a l ; c of, contributing their might to the state,which Russian sew,* not do—and there could be no public advantage in for . „il class of men and their families to inevitable pauper/71 misery, or those who can, perchance, afford it, to leaf e d/1 native land in disgust to live in a foreign country. I P l. Ol each class have a distinct right to theadrantages of leg.!,doe acd not that any class should be sacrificed to what is IW" to be the great public good.

I am fully sensible of the position the house is unbarPJf in this respect. I, however, give the house credit ford ,0r: to do what is just, and to distrib u t e th e b ur d ens o f the equitably. This is all I ask. B u t if it s h ou ld be foontiol:f as we go on stripping class after class of protection, are unwarrantably giving away our children's bread to le ers, whose own governme n t s h ou ld h ave t h e resp onslU'weP caring for them, we are ge n ero us b e f ore we are just"- violating the highest of all principles. re r 4 I 111 aware the popular notion is, th a t f ore i gn s hips dr, sold in this market free of d u ty, an d i nvite d also to. 0", carrying business, and therefore t o mee t suc h competl'„oidi must have every article connected with shipping at the est rate, duty free. I shall not trouble you with follovl t the result to which such legislatio n must carry us ;•,}?uefell., will permit me to say, the Corn-l aw , t o w hi c h your n ow o il , is not a specimen, as it is s u pp ose d genera ll y to he,ofto same principle; the Is. duty i nvo l ves no t th e pr i nc iple repeal of any duty, but implies a small duty to be ge"„00, machinery for collecting being al wa y s rea d y f or b e ing 0, 1,9 1 on a larger scale whenever needed.

W In the year 1842 to which you a ll u d e I was largely ipasol in the cordage trade, but certainly did not participate„ o „ alarm you say was then entertained by that class in l' o ft,s I was confident then as I am now that a duty of 6s. per, yarn is ample protection to the spinner; and as to lay the cordage, which is done by steam power and inach . . ep fe A presume, in both countries,at perhaps no great diff e ,airi cost, except with reference to the manual labour ri; il l which is considerable; but, in addition to this, t i otfl o ol and taxes alone on the making of rope in this cool to the large seaports is fully 28. per cwt., which in Itil s !'olif„,l amount to about 6d. per cwt. Still there are reaso lo 4l , duty on rope may be reduced to 2s. per cwt., and ° sufficient protection to that part of the trade. • !Or tO Ist. The great bulk of cordage is ordered in c ertail! si ble .d , and sizes, so various that it is almost iinM e pin,,, keep a stock of foreign cordage to meet suchWU 2nd.

THE rapidly-increasing sale of this invaluable MEDICINE is a convincing proof of its efacacy. 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 ar.ce to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generall,-.4 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. " Dear Sir,—Mrs. Chiseman, of Garden-street, Brompton, has been cured of a cough of four years' standing, by taking one box of your Pectoral Candy, and is desirous of expressing her gratitude, in order that others similarly afflicted may ob tain the same benefit: Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week. I can also add my testimony that, from the many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands unrivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly, "To Mr. Woolley."
