Its exposure of the sel fish workings of Popery is complete and triumphant. "The Principles of Popery Developed" is another article exactly suited to the presenc crisis in the religious history of Great Britain. We should like to see this very seasonable paper printed in a separate form. Its extensive circulation among professing Protestants might be productive of much benefit. " The Character of Bishop Hurd" is a pleasing tribute to_the memory of a distinguished scholar and.divine. "The- Pe rilous State of the Nation" is a production of Which any man might feel proud.

Tire Churchman. January, 1840. London : W. E. Painter. The opening article in the present number on " The Present Position of the Church," is admirably written, and ought to be perused by every sincere Protestant. The reflections on. the " New Year" are such as every pious mind ought to indulge in. We partieularly recommend to the notice. of our readers the apposite remarks on "National EduLition and the Centralising Principle."

Its political essays are.perfect " studies." It is almost needies; to repeat that they are strictly constitu tional or conservative in th. - :ir temlency. The paper on "The Inns of Court—Legal `tidies—the Bar" will be found highly interesting to the legal student. The author is evidently quite on fait on the subject. We greatly admire the paper on " The Prospects of the Session." Its vigour of style and, keen discrimination entitle it to the very highest recoinnien dation which we can bestow upon it. Our professional friends will derive much useful information from the admira ble essay on " Titles depending on Voltintary,Deeds." This difficult subject is here handled with very great ability. The paper on " Strangulation by the Umbilical Cord," in refe rence to infanticide, will be found highly useful to the student of medical jurisprudence.

CONTEMPORARY PR ES.% THE REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS,--CO M. PENSATION •TO THE LANDLORDS. (Froki the Morning Herald) The exceeding self-complacency with which the op ponents of the corn laWs are in the habit of deciding the question of compensation, to which, even they ad mit, a repeal of the corn taws would, inevitably, give' rise, is not, at times, unamusing. An ingenious even ing contemporary discusses the matter in the following strain • .• . I.t.is,not.the business of those who are opposed to the fclohlaw to demand its partial repeal. Founding on prin ciple, they should demand the total repeal, as an act of jus tice. It' any persons, being advocates of the law, come for wai.d and. say, The abolition would inflict an injury on me ; I gave £20,000 for an estate, - relying on the corn law being continued, which will not be worth above £12,000 if the law be abolished ;' we are far from saying that such a case ought notlo be taken into consideration.. If a farmer says he took a lease for ten years in 1837, and gave 30s. an acre for the land on the virtual pledge of the legislature that the corn law should be continued, his case also may be deserving com pensation. We must, however, have the individual injustice substantiated before giving redress. This promise of " redress" must he, doubtless, ex ceedingly consolatory to the agricultural community. The question may, however, suggest itself to sundry farmers and landowners—" 'Whence are to be derived the means of supplying the . compensation so magnani mously guaranteed to us, in the event of our abandon ing the corn laws ?" And, truly, the query is a co gent. one' The landowners of England have invested in the soil upwards . of two thousand millions of mo ney; while the amount of farming capital is computed to exceed seen hundred and fifty millions.. The amount of capital 'embarked in trade is, on the other hand, less than-two hundred and . fifty millions. These propor tions indicate but an indifferent prospect of compensa tion for landowners and farmers, should landowners and faithers ever consent to a repeal of the corn laws. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Evening Mail) We left off with the proposition that Ireland may be made ta.yield from ten to thirty million's worth of ad ditional agricultural produce yearly. There are in Great Britain 34,254,000 statute acres of cultivated land, whiCh so far back as 1310 ; yielded an agricultu ral produce of the annual value: of £150,000,000. There are in Ireland 14,603,000 statute, acres of cilia vated land, yielding, in 1835, an agricultural produce of the annual value of £36,000,000. So then, as-to the extent cultivated in Great Britain is to the produce yielded there, so ought the extent cuitiVated in Ireland :be to the . *duce yielded here, and see What is the.result. As 3-1,254.00 acres :-14,603,000 acres : £64,000,000 The result is simply this, that Ireland which now yields i:36,060;000 worth of agri6hltural produce only ouaut to'yield at least 464;000,000 - worth to be on a par with what Great Britain was even so long back as • But, as has been seen, the incr ease in-the amount of agriculturo - produetivenesS in Great Britain since 1810 has been enormous. We hiaVe shown that less foreign grain i now imported into the kingdom at large, than in - the 'period a ten years immediately preceding that date; while the mouths to - be supplied haVe increased since then at tlici . i.ate of one-and-a-halt per cent. pet' annum. .Bettirdn' 1831 and 1835 the mean number . of consumers has been upwards of 25,000,000; in 1810 the number of consumers was less than 18,000,000; whence, then, came the supplies for these seven mil lions of additional months ? • Not • from abroad; for from 1831 to 1835,.we. have actually been importing less foreign grain. than we did in 1810. : these . supplies . came from the better tilled farms of Great 'Britain and Iretand - • ' but low muelymore from those Of 'the formerstlian "from those of tie latter We'have' no aecitrat,i means of'aterinining. Let us, however, -say that each island supported,its own additional pope- lation - by corresponding.c&rts in production, and the £150,000.030, at which the annual value of agricultu rat produce in Great — Britain WA's estimated in 1810, when the,population of - GrLitl3ritain was 12,000,030, will swell £2.0'06,000 in 1835, when . the popula tion had risen 16 . 1.7,00.0,000. • • Arguing, then, that Ireland ought to have yielded as great . an'agricultural produce as great Britain (lid in The same year in proportion to the extent of cultivated land in each island, we have the,result:— , As 34,'2.54,000 acres: S208,01:0,600 : — 14,603,600 acres: £88,673,000 ;That is to say, Ireland, to yield now as well as Great Britain did in 1835, ought to yield annually about eighty-nine millions' worth of ag,rricultural produce, in- Stead of the thirty-Six millions' worth at which her produce has been estimated. In other words, the agri cultural energies of the country 'are not yet developed. All these calculations, in which for greater simplicity 'we have-adopted the round numbers, are grounued on facts disclosed in the Appendix to the Third Report of the Commissioners for Inquiry into the condition of the poorer classes 'in Ireland, and in •" POrter's:Pro gress of the Nation :" facts Which have' never' been disputed, and .which cannot be too prominently kept before the observation of the Irish public.

But we If:aS good a crop in proportion to our capabilities ; we thCranielook to double our annual . produce at least be fore we rest. satisfied. Ilow the improvement is to take place is another sirkiect.of iniportilt speculation. In the first • pkicenanY one looking at the face. of the, country must see that in-mien-4 ; quantities of arable land lie -unproductive in the nooks and corners of our misshapen enclosures ; that the soil lost in ragncd head-ridges, gripes, and bohereens is very -considerable ; that thousands of acres of wet, and rushy oct toms might easily ha made prodUctive meadoW land; and -that almost universally a vast improvement has still to take place in all our impleinentsmflinsbandry. Next, the intelli gent 'observer must be struck with the want of proper roads for the - transport of manure and produce, but particularly with the inaccessible condition of thousands of noble lime stone quarries, which only wait a practicable avenue through which .to - pour fertility over whole. parishes and baronies. Then, whin our fences are reduced to convenient forms—. when all the available surface of the land is cleared and drained, and made accessible—when our mines of manure •are opened up, and all our Mechanical aids of labour ready to be put in operation—the question of the most TrOfitable rotation of crops, and the best description of seeds, will still • remainto exercise the ingenuity of the farmer." Unquestionably we have .on the average a better soil than the English or, Scotch—a sweeter, kindlier, and more easily tilled soil. We have, also a vastly greater amount of avail:Al* labour to bestow on it. We want, then, nothin...hut .g.better system of farming to . doable oar produce atlea s t—tnereby . enriching, ourselves, - and a keeping ihe he country in manufacturers of, t state' of continuous prosperity. Even England might still greatly. increase her produce. On this subject hear Mr. Porter : • It would lead to a digression which might be considered out of place in these pages, if any attempt were made to exaL mine the question of agricultural distress, as to which so much has been said year after year, during a very large por tion of the time in whichthe extension of tillage and the in crease of production, here 'described, have been going for ward ; but „we only be allowed to remark, that the parties • who, during all, that time, have embarked their capitals in this branch of industry, must haVe been actuated ; by motives altogether different from those which - influence the rest of mankind, if they.have, year after year, been content. to ac celerate their own ruin by increasing the extent of their ope rations; While die total number or families iii Great Britain. has increased, 1 - Aitweeu 1311 and 1331; from 2,544;215 to 3,411.1.*;5 or at One rate of 34 per cent., the number of fiord . lies einployeri in - Agriculture has increased 'only' from 895,998 to 961,134, or at the - rate of per cent. The increased pro duction which is thus sceir to, have been brought about by a comparatively small addition of labour, has in a great degree resalted from the employment of capital in improving the soil, in draining and ;In:lnning, in throwing down a great part of the l'ene,:; with which our fornfathers were accustomed to divide their farms in small patches, by the use of improved implenienta,of husbandry, and above all, through the employ inerit.of 'a better system of cropping by rotation. Nor should we omit to`nOtice among the most effective causes.of this im- proved condition of agriculture, the help: that has been boo rowed'from men of ,science. In particular, the researches of Davy, undertaieen at the ,instance of. the Board of Agricul ture, ni,ierrt th e beginning of - the preient' century, may. be mentioned as having prodhced the happiest - results, by show ing the various resources we Can, command; through the-ap plication' of chemical kiloWledge, 'for remedying the defects and iiiinro;ing.the riaturalcapabilities of different soils,". * Tikere is ever reason to- hope and to expect that the. i m provements which of late years have been begun in the nibandrY, are very f a r f ro m having reached in England, w here th e advances tPhreuicresLeis noosft husbandry,limit.

We think it right to warn our readers of the efforts which are now tieing made for the repeal of the corn laws. I ti, urant lecturers arc proCeeding from town to town, on the whining ,pretences of patriotism and benevolence, denouncing these laws as oppressive to ahe.labouring classes, and even injuri ous to the farmers, for whose immediate protection they were .enacted. But let us not be deceived by the artful speeches and false reasoning of these wily orators, who, be it known, are i,ot impelled by their sympathy with hungry multitudes, to tickle their ears _with their high-seasoned elo quence, but by the pAY of certain master-mountebanks, who pull the wires by which these puppets are made to dance. We are not disposed to be very severe upon these lecturers for the performance of their duties to their employers; still, when an audience is thus called together, surely something like truth and reason is due to them, unless they attend for the purpose of being deceived, abused, and insulted. But this is an age in which clever men are driven to seek employ ment in a great variety of ways, as well as an age of unions and, joint-stock companies. A project being conceived, au association is formed, and talented persons are employed, as agents and speech-makers, to carry out their plans, as the phrase is—one of which plans invariably is, to make honest John Bull pay-the-piper, either in proprietary shares, admis sion to the lecture room, penny subscriptions, or in some more indirect and less apparent way. Some-months ago, in the busy town of Manchester, a dozen or two of patriotic' cotton -spinners, groaning and struggling under what they call n'nmense loads of'oppression—thereby meaning large ac cumulatious of capital, which they could not employ so as to produce them quite 20 per cent.—and ready as Pat would say, to spend their last shilling to save *the remainder— . met and formed one of these unions, called " The Anti- Corn-Law Association ;" the avowed purpose of -which was . to effect a repeal of the corn-laws, but its ulterior and main object being to bring about a signal and general reduction of • the wages of labour, by means of which the conspirators cal culated on making princely fortunes; to further whichlauda hle . objects, most of these patriots, out of their extreme penury and distress, contrived to subscribe the pretty little sum of ONE Tit crusaN D POUNDS each ! They have their spa cious office, with their clerks and itinerant orators, all of whom are, of course, well paid ; and the work assigned to the latter is to collect audiences as they best can, and by flatter ing their worst passions, to delude them into a conviction that a free trade in corn would operate as a remedy for all they complain of. Now, as we said before, it is some apology for these travelling impostors, that they are only the hired advocates of a bad cause—just as a clever lawyer is engaged in the defence of a murderer ; his peculiar duty on such an occasion is, not to tell the truth, but to try to conceal it : lie is retained and paid for the express purpose of saving the murderer's lite, if he can ; and this he attempts by all means in his power, at the expense of truth and justice, and the public good. • Now, as this is the acknowledged rule of the profession, we do not quarrel with the individual for following it. But-if we were on the jury, it would be our business to attend to the evidence, and to form our opinion on the facts elicited, and to tal.:e special care not to be led away by the sophisms of the learned advocate. It is thus, then, that we would estimate the weight of these anti-corn-law lectures, the false arguments and distorted facts in which we must not suffer to deceive us. But.we should look at the facts as they are. Is it not evident that this country, taxed as it is, cannot compete with foreign countries, comparatively untaxed, in the production of either corn or manufactures, without our having secured to us, by means of protecting duties, a preference in our own markets? Are not all our manufactures fostered and protected in this way? And why, then, is the landed interest alone—that on which our very existence depends—to be left unprotected ? when every sound statesman knows, that if our domestic agriculture were destroyed, no possible amount of importa tion could, in years of general scarcity, secure us against famine. No one doubts that, in years of plenty, foreign corn could be brought here at a less price than we can grow it for, any more than that foreign silks could be imported for less than they can be manufactured in this country. But what then ? Are our millions of labourers employed in these pro ducts to be deprived of their daily bread on this account ? A nation ought to be regarded as one great family, whose interest it is to buy as little from foreigners, and sell as much to them as possible. Other countries are not so blind in their policy as to buy from -us more than they want, and what they really want they will take at all events. limier this view, then, if we purchase foreign corn and pay our money.foritawc, as a nation, become so much the poorer ; but if -we grow our own corn, it costs us nothing but our labour, which could not be otherwise employed to the same advantage, nor perhaps to any real benefit whatever., Con sider the fact of the five or six millions of our gold' which have been recently paid' for foreign grain, and the grent stag natioo of - trade which this drain of our wealth has produced amongst us. Why was not this grain paid for in woollens, and cottons, and hardware, and 'o rockery ? Simply because those who supplied it did not want such gOods and there.' . fore would not take them. What they want, and what the continental nations in , general -want, is cur gold, to enable, them to manuthcture for themselves, They have already our machinery and our workmen ; and give them a portion of our capital in payment for their corn, and they will soon rival our manufacturers in our own markets. Behold, then, the precious fruits of free trade=—must we shut our eyes while these political quacks delude Our ears? Undoubtedly, one effect of a repeal of the cornalawg Weida be a great reduc tion-of wages ; because a large proportion of the agricultural . labourers, being deprived of their accustomed work, would necessarily - enter into competition with the 'manufacturing labourers ; and this redtmdancy of hands would cause a cor responding scarcity of employment. - This would answer the• purpose of the great manufacturers, by enabling them to fill , up the measure of their proposed wealth iu double-quick time;' but it would be ruin..to the' tabotWing 'classes. what is the national benefit - ottliese already opulent manu facturers becoming so enormously;rich ?'" Have we •not ex- . ainples enough of them ? They are gradually supplanting the old race of land proprietors; and do we not usually find them harder task-masters than the hereditary aristocracy ? But who ever heard of a farmer thriving at this ratea or in deed of his raising himself, even - in the course of a long life; above mediocrity ? And can - any moral reason be offered why a farmer, with a certain amount of capital; should not have an equal chance of enriching himself with a manufac turer of the like capital? But farmers have not their thou sands to subscribe for purposes of agitation ; nor is it their practice to conspire to enrich themselves at the expense of other people. They are plain matter of fact men, who would scorn to hire ranting speech-makers to travel the country, on their behalf, to-persuade the ignorant and unwafy that black is white; as is the ease with the " Anti-corn-law ASaoCia Lion." B -, ut the trick is out, itul we would, earnestly guard .all honest men against being gulled by the maieuvring-of these combined manufacturers to procure-'a repeal :of the corn-laws, merely to enable themselve:4 to draw enormous profits out of the reduction of wages, which' they foresee would be the eonsewittfie: ' -One of the einissaaikiiii thisrworshipful association, ing himself Mr. Sydney Smith, lies lately been lecturing in this county; not the Sir Sydney Smith, of whom we have formerly heard, whose name is immortalized by his'brave-de fence of an Acre; but, as we suspect, a very opposite charac ter, - who under the guise of a distinguished name; comes to declare perpetual war against all Mir acres. • kis - one of the known habits-of all parasites to attach themselves to diseased subjects ; end we, accordingly, find this slimy gentleman•fx ing his fangs on the morbid heads of radicalism and political dissentpolitical dissent, we say, for we would not inshivate‘ aught against conscientious religious dissent; however we may lament its existence. It would be only a waste of time and words to ex pose and refute all the mis-statements and ex aggeration of this- long-winded lecturer; but to show how little his.statements are to be trusted, it may be necessary to treat our readers who do not see the " North Staffordshire Mercury," with a sample or two of his accuracy and consis tency. After a large measure of low abuse and calling of names of the landowners, he states that Peel's famous cur rency bill destroyed, at one blow, half the property of the merchant and labourer, whilst the value of landed property was doubled. Had he said the value of funded property was doubled -by it, he would have been nearer the truth ; but this would not have suited his purpose. Ile then states the average wages - of farm labourers in several counties, at ss. or 6s. per week only-; and in another part of his lecture he hints, what a good exchange they would make by going into the large town to receive 30s. per week ; here we see his real object veep but—namely, to allure country labourers into the towns, in order to reduce the factory wages.' Even in Manchester, he' -'says, they might earn 245. But amongst the people he was then addressing, and whom he dignifies with the title of the " Aristocracy of labour," a girl of nineteen or twenty could' earn 19s. Or 20s. per week.- The odour of this, however, was whale too strong to he between the wind and their nobility : murmurs' of disapprobation arose ; and a gentleman present —not one of the aristocrats—was so good as to set the lec turer aright in this trifling mistake, by informing him that the average earnings of such-young women did not exceed 12s. per week. But, suppose -we were to admit the truth of all this man's statements, in•whatlight would they show the dis tress of the manufacturers? 'Would they not make out a very strong case in favour of greater protection being given to the agricultural interest, and less to the manufacturing ? - So much* for the lecturer's accuracy, and now for his consistency, a single • example of which may suffice. He repeatedly states the present price of wheat at 80s. per quarter ; and the pre sent rate of duty on wheat' imported, he says, exceeds 10s. per quarter. Now, he knew, or ought to have knovin, that when the average price of wheat rises to 735. per quarter, the import duty can only be ls. per quarter. In short, his whole lecture is a tissue of false and garbled statements, only cal culated to mislead those who know nothing of the facts; And it is for-this impudent attempt to deceive, and for the quack , cry of prating about what he does not' understand; that we are induced to Show him up. On the horns of this dilemma, then, we leave him, and let him take shame to himself, either for having undertaken to lecture on a subject of which he was grossly and culpably ignorant, or for having asserted as facts what he knew to be absolutely and mischievously false.

THE USURY LAWS. • • (Fr oni the Morningleraltl) A ministerial' evening aontempor ry claims it large ma sure of credit for-the; cabinet of Lerd Melbourne, on the score of the aid which that cabinet has lent to the efforth of certain classes of moneyed men, to repeal entirely the usury laws. The question .is one, as, itsegins to us, of exceeding delicacy —one not to be :disposed of quite so summarily as our contemporary appears to imagine, even although his own authority is supported by that of Jeremy Bentham. • It may be only fair, however, to permit our contemporary to state his views in his own terms : " Our readers will recollect that during the late session of parliament, as well 6S - during the . last five years, the govern ment have made various .propositions for the modification or -repeal of lawS. In these useful measures, as in many- others, they had to encounter a tory opposition, and bills proposed to be made permanent - or - efficient were amended, as by .parliamentary phrase- it is said, .and, were limited both in their duration and in their enactments. — Lord Ashburton called the attention of the House of Lords to the religious, objections applicable to the government bill ; Sir Robert Inglis seemed to consider the enfranchisement of mercantile security to be a branch of the detested Jew bill: and the country -gentlemen would have preferred leaving the farmer without- the means of borrowing at all, to the alternative of paying for money that which it was really worth. :The mere fact that Jeremy Bentham had 'written against the .usury laws was sufficient to make the . fories rely upon their stupid enActinents as part and! . parcel of ;the- British constitution, and ' five' per cent' would assuredly have been a less objectionableparty crythan ' Protestant ascendancy.' Feeling convinced upon -general principles that the measure of Lord Melbourne's Go vernment was a sound one, it has beewwith peculiar pleasure that sVe find our judgment confirmed by the high authority of Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, equally distinguished as en en lightened economist and a practical man. He observes in his late painplilet, ' The partial repeal of the usury laws has been of incalculable advantage to the commercial community, by securing the free circulation of capital, and the power, by the inducement of higher interest, of determining the appli cation of it to those quarters in•which the demand may be the most intense. It was essentially necessary that the al teration of the law. should precede any attempt to separate the management of the circulation from the banking business ; and itwill be found the -means of obviating many of the diffi culties and alleviating many of the inconveniences as may be apprehended as consequent on such alteration." We must be allowed to observe that the " advantages" connected with the relaxation of the Usury Laws, to which Mr. Loyd adverts; may not be admitted, as establishing the soundness of that principle, which has, hitherto, been deno minated the principle of usury, whatever be the more ho nourable title which it is destined to attain, in the approach ing age of universally.diffuSed "- intellect." A relaxation of the Uspry Laws may, at particular seasons, and under the pressure of derangement in the financial affairs of the country, be found to impart relief, as the use of poisons may in particular stages of disease be found to check the progress of debility. Bentham's argument in favour of usury is akin to the ar gument employed by Mr. Loyd. Bentham establishes that the existence of stringent laws against usury is apt to inflict injury on the poorest classes of borrowers, without checking the practice of borrowing.at a ruinous rate of interest. The reasoning is, to a certain extent, sound ; yet it leaves alto gether out of view certain considerations most important in attempting to arrive at a just conclusion upon the sublect. Concurrently with what is usually styled " the progress of civilisation," may he noted the perpetual tendency of money to rise in value, amid of labour to decline. As population in creases, and commercial exchanges multiply, the uses of money become more numerous, and the demand for it, by consequence, greater. In conditions of society, which we, in the plentitude of our s elf-sufficiency, are wont to regard as only semi-civilised, the custom of barter in as infinite vari ety of forms prevails,and enables the people who carry on the business of life, to a great extent, to dispense with the use of money. The advance of " civilisation," however, in volves the gradual ascendancy of the money-power in every state ; and all wise governments, in all ages of the world, have deemed it necessary to sustain by legislative enactment, the cause of industry against the encroachments of the usurious principle: . It may be true, that direct legislation againgt usury may never have succeeded in checking altogether the practice of lending at an enormous rate of ,interest—because, un doubtedly, under all systems of government there has been faiind wretchedness willing to borrow on any terms and rapa city not unwilling to lend a little, for the chance of receiving 'back an hundred, or a thousand fold. The good effects, how ever, of legislation against usury, are proved by the fact that a public opinion has always been created, in aid of the 'law—a valid opinion which branded as disgraceful theac ceptance of more than a moderate per-tentage for the Use's& • money. - The law has already in this country, been mate rially,altered, and may, ver.y.probably soon, be altogether re pealed.' 'Public opinion will, in this event, follow the law, as it did..before ; and the imputation of n'surions dealing willlose its terrors. But mark the result. The power of the moneyed . • classes will in consequence of such a revolution in senti ment, be obviously increased to a scarcely-calculable extent ; while the whole commercial arrangements of society will asSurrie, , everr day,.snore deeply the aspect of gambling. The money of the country will, . gradually, find its way - into the powssien of a smaller number of men ; while the parties de sirous to berrow . must, in order to meet the demands of the parties willing to lend, engage in trading transactions of the most wildly-speculative character. Such his been for many years, too Much the tendency. of .English trade ; and the re— peal of the usvy laws will, unquestionably, stimulate that tendency to ins a incalculable extent.

(Front the :Dublin Evening Packet) • ~ " The reader will See, by - an advertisement iu our present publication ' that a meeting is intended to be held it the Commercial Buildings, Dame-street, on Monday next, for, the purpose of submitting certain resolutiqns passed at the Thatched .

Ike meatng, at, the Thatched House Li .. vern Was called by theTriends Of private enterprise,,the oppo-, vents of government frionovly, nut, tile enemies . of the job for 'effecting which the4Or, of Toni Drummond was framed lAA they did not, insist upon 1,4 adoption of their plan for the eneourzikeinerit of. the pripciple_of private enterprise, and the investment'" Of the serpins capital of England in Irish railways, lest a division betweeii them and the, friends of the government scheme, who attended in a strung number. should fruStrate the establishment of the important principle that, each of the provinces should gain alike by any grant of par liament for the purpose of Irish railways. It was distinctly „ intimated at the meeting, that the principle of private enter prise-was not abandoned ; that it was .only placed in abey ance, for sake of unanimity, until the intention.of the govern. merit on the subject of the new proposition should be known. 'To the principle of private enterprise we stelidfaitly - ad here ; and, so far from anything that basheen said in .faVor Of government monopoly having,shaken ouropinions, every- thing we have heard upon the subject has tended to convince us the mdre that we are, and were originally, right. A cer tain individual, who sometimes tells truth unwittingly anti by accident, declared, at the last meeting of the monopoli, ts held at the Commercial Buildings—" That the goveriniiclit had frightened English capitalists out of the Irish market." That was a' truth, though tittered by Daniel O'Connell, ,who . exclaimed—" Let me go to the .government and I Will CO,ii vinee them that they should advance money fur rakci,a4,in -- Irelandl will tell them that 'they have, by .their ,r004,' frightened English capitalists' out of the field."' ThAs, w e repeat, was true, though spoken by Mr. O'Cininell. .:Every sensible andlinpartird man must be convinced that theigreat want of Ireland is capita, and that the influx of the surplus capital of England would fertilise Ireland—would make her, prosperous, industrious; happy, and contented. A feWlialtry millions from the governinent;or from parliament; spent on railroads, in the hands of monopolists, would hot ,cfrectualo. : benefit the country. „ We want John Bull aniong,St ps, superintending the outlay of his capital, and exploring our vast resources:fOr investment of this overgrown wealth. We want him to find out employ ment for our idle and overgrown population, by digging our mines and blasting our quarries for his benefit and our own. If the governmentiutended to advance the country, a parlia. mentary grant in aid of private enterpriie would have been long snee applied for„and the foul job meditated for the be nefit of an individual would have been given up. But it is folly to talk of an intention on the part of the Whigs to benefit any portion of the empire, or any person beyond the circle of those who serve to keep them in office, It should not be forgot by those who may attend the meet ing on Monday, that Sir Sobert Peel advocates the principle of encouraging private enterprise, and the outlay of British capital in Ireland ; and that the Right Honorable Baronet, when he shall return to office, will ask parliament for a grant or loan to advance the interests of this distracted country, by aiding railroad speculation—a prayer or demand in which the representatives of the Irish people cannot refuSe to join, lest they should lose their seats, and in which the English mem bers will heartily concur, because it will open a field for the investment of their capital. Most earnestly do we entreat the friends of private enterprise—the trite friends of Ireland and of England, and the enemies of jobbing and monopoly—to be firm in the maintenance of their principle, which being founded on truth must ultimately prevail. STATE TINKERS. (From the Courier) Mr. Villiers delivered a *speech; at dinner giVen to him and, Mr. Thornley; at Wolverhampton, 'on Thurdny; the topics of which the Wolverhampton Chronicle thus sums up : " The corn-laws want mericlingthe 'Church wants Inend' ing—the currency systein wants mending—the House' of Commons wants mending=-monopolies want abolishing—the Ministry wants pushing on, and . the labouring classes want votes." The Wolverhampton Chronicle . observes : • " Allthehe wants are prettily enough enumerated, made so many themes for neat tlisqiiisitions, but not a practical word from the hon. member's We will take the liberty to add, that The very thing which wants the mending most of all,. namely, the " Cabinet," is the,very thing omitted in .the hon. member's enumeration. But bow is it that, after so many years of Whig-radical rule, so much mending is required in all our institutions ? It would not be politic to compare the present government •to a certain peripatetic pretender, of whom it is proverbially remarked that, in mending one hole he makes two., but . the similitude irresistibly occurs to our imagination. - We would rather attribute the increased mending which is called for according to Mr. Villiers,: to the peculiar ill-fortune 'which seems to have attended the attempts of his friends at im proving what they have .taken- in hand; for it is a turious fact, that precisely in proportion to their official meddling with and mending what they did - not understand, has - the necessity for further mendings arisen to remedy the bungling acts and the mischief - which they have perpetrated.

The market opened with a very good demand from the Trade, ands rather better prices were generally obtained for 'the common and middle qualities of American ; but since Wednesday there has been less inquiry, with a greater disposition to realize, and prices of the better qualities of American have declined id per lb. Sea Island continues in limited request, and the few sales made have been at a reduction of fully Id per lb. Egyptian is also id p'er lb lower. Brazil and East India remain with little or no change.

Within the last three days, the arrivals into this port consist of 297 qrs of Wheat fr9m Ireland, 4056 qrs Coastwise, and 2306 qrs from abroad; of English and Irish Barley 863 qrs, of Oats 5254 qrs, and of Oatmeal 4026 sacks; but of Flour and other articles, the supplies fresh in for to-day are trivial. The duty on Foreign Oats is raised to lOs 9d, on Beans to ss, and on Colonial Oats to 2s per qr. ; on all other produce it remains the some as last week. The Corn trade, from the close of Tuesday's market until to-day, remained extremely dull and uninteresting, and continued through out the whole of this day'S market to exhibit a similar want of ani • mation. A few limited sales of Foreign Wheat to ship northward and to Ireland, formed the only transactions in this Grain worth naming for that purpose, and the millers being still very in active, all descriptions of both old and new were decidedly Id to 2d per ;albs cheaper.—ln the value of free Flour, however, although taken off sparingly, we have no change to note ; and of bonded samples, very few parcels have sold. _ _ . . Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, being equally dull, were severally the turn lower ; and. Oats as well as Oatmeal, commanding very little notice, hardly sustained our last quotations.
