LIVERPOOL, ORMSKIRK, RAILWAY, AND PRESTON AND THE LIVERPOOL AND , PRESTON AND MANCHESTER AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAYS T:a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS 11. of ORMSKIRK, held in the TOWN-HALL, on WEDNES DAY, the 11th day of March, 1846, convened by the Constable, in compliance with a Requisition from a Committee appointed by the Inhabitants to guard the interests of the Town so far as they might be affected by the Raffwarp . r2jects before Parliament, The CONSTABLE of the 'DOWN in the Chair The Secretary of the Committee having presented a ;{'report to the Meetino , of their proceedings during the l as t Session of Par liament, and 6 urging the superior advantages offered by the Liverpool, .Ormskirk. and Preston, over that of the Liverpool and Preston .and Manchester and Southport to Ormskirk.and the neighbourhood, with a recommendation to oppose the Li verpool and Preston and Manchester and Southport in every stage in its progress through Parliament, as being detrimental to the interests of the Town and Neighbourhood, It was proposed by Mr. STONER, seconded by Mr. BAKEN DALE, and carried unanimously, "That the Report of the Com mittee, now read, be adopted by this Meeting.' Also moved by HUGH OWEN, Esq., seconded by THOMAS BRANDRETH, Esq., and resolved unanimously, " That the Committee of last year be reappointed, and conceiving as the Meeting does the success of the main lines from Melling to Fa rington, and from Wigan to Southport, of the Liverpool and Preston and Manchester and Southport so vitally objectionable to the welfare of the Town and Neighbourhood, that they be empowered by this Meeting to oppose the bill in every stage, both in the House of Commons and the House of Lords." It was also proposed, and carried unanimously, " That the Constable be added to the Committee." Also moved by JAS. PALMER, Esq., seconded by LAWRENCE WRIGHT, Esq., and carried unanimously, " Th a t th e P et i t i on now read be adopted, and signed by the Chairman and Com mittee, on belief of the Meeting, and forwarded for presenta tion to the House of Commons without delay." (Signed) WILLIAM EVANS, Constable. The Constable having left the chair, i the thanks of the Meet ing was voted to him for his conduct n the chair, as also to the Committee, for their attention to the inte res t s of the Town. The following is the Petition agreed to : To THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KING DOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The humble Petition of the Constable and Inhabitants of the l'oarn of Ormskirk, in the county of Lancaster, in Public lifeeting assembled, SHOWETII, That the population of the town of Ormskirk now approaches to 5,000, and that of the parish to 15,000. That Ormskirk is the capital of a rich agricultural district, and the only market town within a radius of thirteen miles. That Railway communicating with Liverpool and Southport, as also Preston, Blackburn, Burnley . , Bolton, Manchester, and the manufacturing district s , is of :imperative importance to your Petitioners, for the more ready, and speedy interchange of merchandize and agricultural produce. That Ormskirk possesses the elements of great manufacturing prosperity, and only awaits a communication with those towns to render it inferior to few in Lancashire. That two bills have heen presented ioiourhonourable house, offering Railway communication to Ormskirk, as appears by the plans deposited under the order of year honourable house, namely, the• Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, and the Liver pool and Preston and Manchester and Southport Railways. That the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston Railway offers the most efficient communication by means of the main line to Li verpool, Preston, Blackburn, and Burnley, and by the branches to Wigan, Bolton, Rochdale, Manchester, and Southport, and other towns of great importance to your Petitioners. That the Main Line from Melling to Farington, of the Liver pool and Preston and Manchester and Southport, is longer in point of distance between the termini, and avoids a large amount of population, and the routes proposed not so well adapted for the general traffic of the town of Ormskirk, as the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, and 'n other respects from the d►versity of interests under which it is constituted, not so well calculated to meet the wants of the district. That the portion'of the main line from Wigan to Southport, of the Liverpool and Preston and Manchester and Southport, miles in length, intersects the main line from Melling to Farington, at a distance of three miles from Ormskirk, without any apparent object but diverting the traffic through an unna tural channel, and that, too, at an expense far beyond what the necessities of the termini require ; and at the same time depri ving your Petitioners-of the benefit of railway communication with one of the most valuable coal fields in Lancashire' That the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston Branch, joining the Ormskirk extension of the Liverpool and Bury Railway, granted in the last session of Parliament, passing through Orm skirk to Southport, only 10f miles in length, will not only more generally and efficiently accommodate Southport one of the ter mini, but the town of Ormskirk, from whence the supplies for the consumption of Southport are principally procured, besides opening the coal fields before alluded to, from whence Ormskirk and Southport have hitherto been supplied with coals. That your Petitioners conceive that their interests and that of the public will be greatly injured by the spirit of monopoly whieh appears to have instigated the promoters of the Liver pool and Preston and Manchester and Southport in projecting their scheme ; and will, moreover, be, as your Petitioners con ceive, entirely ruinous to them, and highly disadvantageous ' the public, should your Honourable House approveof the inter section of the main line as contemplated by that company. Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray that they may be heard by themselves, their counsel, agents and witnesses, be fore the Committee to whom the said bill is referred against the Preamble of the Dill for making certatn Railways and Branches therefrom, all in ,the county of Lancaster, to be called the Li verpool and Preston And Manchester and Southport Railway, and against all such domes and .provisions of the said Bill as affect their righ t ts and interests, and that the said Bill may not be passed into A j.aw as it sAiw stands, or they may have such other relief in thf premises as to your _Honourable HOuse shall ,seem meet.

A severe case of Rheumatism, communicated by Mr. Allen Proprietor of the " Nottingham Mer cury. " , Mercuiy Office, Nottingham, March 17, 1845. Sir,—l have the pleasure of forwarding you the particulars of a case in which BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS have proved eminently successful. A young woman, named Mary Wain, accompanied by her parents, who reside at Watnalloiear this town, called upon me on Saturday last, being desiroustof making her case known for the benefit of the public. . . It appears that Mary Wain bad for some years past been a great sufferer from Rheumatism, but that in October last she was more than ordinarily afflicted so, so much so that her fa ttier fetched her ftom her place :of service, in order that she might have the attention of her mother at home ; at that time-- to make use of the mother's desciiption, "she could not lift her hand to her mouth, or her foot the 'height of sixpence from the floor." Having heard of Blair's Pills, the father purchased a box at my shop about the second week in October; the Pills took immediate effect, for I am assured by the parents and the girl herself, that on the following dayshe could not only lift her hand up to feed herself, but she could also move about on crutches.

The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medioine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow ing testimonials:— 4, Paternoster-rev. `SlR,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his committing any violence, and whose case was considered en tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit I derived : after a few days' appliCation the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making au allowance for my age, never was better in my life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to these afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for. my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. to I October 20, 1844. _ _ _ Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific th a t per sons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheu matic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable o f assisting themselves; have beeni relieved nafoy hours.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE. [We have been requested by a highly respectable gentle man in this town, the writer of the two first letters sub joined, but who has a strong aversion to his name being prominently brought before the public, to give inse.tion to the following correspondence, which, to most of our readers, will sufficiently explain itself; and we refer those who wish to ascertain more precisely what has given occasion to the letters to the sermon itself.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. DEAR SIR—In consequence of the conversation I had with you on Saturday, and conformably to the resolution then formed, I wrote a note to the Rev. Hugh M`Neile, to which I have now the pleasure of handing you his reply. That reply is not only kind and prompt, but fully cor roborative of the view which you expressed, and which it seemed to me desirable to get his authority for you to announce as correct in your forthcoming notice of the third edition of his sermon on " The manifested oneness of the Church of Christ." In the preface to that edition, the distinguished author declares. "Touchin g ; the proposed Evangelical Alliance, I am pe suaded that it contained a snare for the unsuspecting Evange tern- of the ( only consistent issue would have been a secession, &c I feared some readers of this passage might suppose Mr. M'Neile charged the promoters of the alliance with a sort of double-dealing—with bringing forward a pro- posal for uniting the church as a pretence, while the real design was to help forward an anticipated disruption in the -I. Such a design I have the best reason 'll in the minds of the excellent ro and still less can the imputation 'lurch of rs of the conference of harbouring it be laid against the members of that con ference. To make this evident, I may be alowed to state come of the circumstances that led to the conference being called. A desire of Christian union having been deeply felt and widely diffused, meetings for united prayer and brotherly communion on the part of ministers and laymen of severs hristian d enomi parts of the kingdom. At a meeting somewhat of this kind, in Edinburgh, so far back as 1843, the late Dr. Balmer, professor of theology to the united Secession, enforced a view of Philippians iii., 15,16, which suggested to a gentleman present, belonging to that body, the pro- priety of getting a series of essys expository of these verses, with a view to making the churches more aware of the present lamentable state of defew.ion from the apostolic injunction there contained. Accordingly, Drs. Chalmers, Candlish, Balmer, Wardlaw, Symington, King, Struthers, and Mr. J. A. James, were requested to pre pare essays on distinct departments of the theme, which they kindly and heartily undertook to do. Tnese were in due time published, at the expense of the gentleman referred to, and very extensively distributed and circulated. As an appendix to the essay on the state of religious parties in England, the author. Mr. James, added a letter he had received from Dr. Patton, of New York, suggesting a conference in London of all evangelical denominations throughout the world. That suggestion being viewed as important. the gentleman already referred to, and the Rev. Dr. King, of the church already named, after con sulting brethren, put themselves in communication with men of eminence and weight, both in the Church of Eng land and in different dissenting churches. The advice given was, that a number of Scotch brethren, whose names and characters were so generally known as to en sure attention to their invitation, should convene a con ference somewhere in England. Liverpool was ultimatety the place appointed. The result is known. The conference was held, and proved a season of refreshing communion, such as parties who were present conceive was never paral leled since apostolic times. It may have been that the divine Head of the Church, having great and trying work for his people to be engaged in, sought to prepare them by His own blessed presence. Surely, however much we may sift the proposals made, and test them scrupulously, we ought humbly to avoid rash and premature censure. You may rest assured that the sincere aim of the parties is to promote union and brotherly love on Scriptural prin ciples. They feel that the dissensions, the debates, the suspicions, the animosities, which divide those " whom God hath joined," are sinful and destructive at once of the church's peace, its purity, and its progress. Whatever false hopes many may entertain of the rapid conversion of the world by an exhibition of Christians living in har mony and holiness, these cannot of course be adduced as arguments against the alliance—the object of which, as just stated, must commend itself to every Christian. It is an object ample enough to engross the attention of the alliance, without the addition of other objects, (such as opposition to Popish error,) which, however good in their own place, and at the proper time, are not within the im mediate, at any rate the present, scone of our operations, as a committee seeking union for its own sake. From Mr. M'Neile'a letter it is obvious that his sus picions are founded on circumstantial evidence only, to which can easily be opposed a mass of direct negative testimony; and the evidence, such as it is, would proba bly never have excited his attention if he had not looked on the Conference as a movement originated by the Free Church, which the foregoing statement will prove is not quite the case. And yet, admiring, as I do, many of the proceedings of the Free Church, I would not be afraid to stand up, unworthy as I am, in their behalf; but will, ne vertheless, content myself with saying, that I believe they were sincere and honest in seeking Christian union only, though it is possible some of their ministers previously held an expectation, nowise, however, connected with the Alliance, that some secession might, in the course of events, arise to affect the Church of England. I feel also called upon to state, that at none of the meetings of the conference, or, I presume, of its com mittees, was the subject of such a secession ever mooted. In conclusion, I must beg Mr. M'Neile to absolve me from the charge of accusing him that he imputes any base or dishonourable motives to any of our brethren. If he will have the goodness to refer to my letter, (of which I retained no copy.*) he will see I expressed confidence that he would be glad of an opportunity to clear himself from the appearance of having done so. 1 am, respectfully 4, ST * * *We subsequently obtained a copy.—E. L. S Bachelor-street, 14th March. 1846 REV. AND DEAR SIR,—I have the most perfect con fidence--little short of knowledge (being conviction founded on information early and late, and on consi derable observation)—that the motives of the excellent men who suggested, called, and attended the Union Con ference were pure, honourable, and Exacrutr w! at the object* indicated as its purpose might be supposed to give pr•.of cfi. I was therefore pained, extremely pained, to find on first page of preface to third edition of your ad verse discourse a paragraph which, naturally construed, seems to show that you not merely doubt this, but suspect a snare was intended. A very respectable editor in town* tells me you only mean that danger is involved. It will give me pleasure if you enable we to assure him, and any of the brethren, that you impute nothing so base, but, on the contrary, you would scorn to bt , the accuser thus of Christ's people, which, however, I fear the natural con struction of the sentence most unfortunately makes you appear to be—a circumstance I point out with the more readiness because I feel assured you would regret it more than any other. I would be sorry to have this letter published, and rely on your not doing so. but I would like to have leave to authorise the e di tor aforesaid to give a disclai m e r . _ _ If it please our Lord to bless the association's humble attempt to abate the dissensions that divide church-s and individuals—and this is, I presume, all that is aimed at-- we may hope to hail you as a convert to the means, as you already are a strenuous supporter of the object. With much respect, Rev. a'd Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, ** * * To the Rev. Hugh 111`Neile. * Editor of Standard. Monday Morning, 16th March, 1846. DUAR Sru,—Your letter reached me late on Saturday evening. I lose no time in replying to it. lam sorry any thing I have written has caused you pain ; but I can not feel the justice of your accusation, that I impute any " base" or dishonourable motives to any of our brethren. I believe that many of the Free Church leaders in land anticipated a similar movement in England. Their own words might be hag , * quoted to this effect. Dr. Candrsh has reiterated it in his speech, in the Free Pres bytery of Edinburgh. cited in my preface. I believe that they would have rejoiced in such a movement among us, and that they thought " The Alliance" was well calcu lated to accomplish this, as well as other good results. I believe that this was one, among many considerations, which gave the Alliance a charm in their estimation. M. Merle D'Aubigni: was clearly and strongly of this way of thinking and feeling, when he came here from Scotland. In all this, however, there is no imputation of any improper motive. On the contrary : upon their prin ciples it was right and laudable so to feel. They had taken a step in which they considered all the highest and most indefeasible rights of the Church of Christ in Scot land to be involved. They were of opinion that the cir cumstances of the Church of Christ. in England demanded a similar step. And therefore it was a legitimate exercise of Christian charity on their part, to wish to see their evangelical brethren in England follow their example; and, by natural consequence, it was perfectly right in them to rejoice in'any proceeding which promised to effec tuate so desirable a result. . • Yet, what was so well designed by them, did, I think, contain a snare for us. Being of this opinion, I candidly wrote it and printed it. My, words, in the passage to which you refer, are—" touching the Evangelical Alli ance, I am persuaded that it contained a snare for the unsuspecting, &c."—and I see no reason whatever to withdraw or modify that statement. Were any man to say, that the leaders of the Free Church movement in Scotland do not wish to see a simi lar movement in England, and would not rejoice in any thing which promised to bring about such a movement ; I think that man might be fairly accused of imputing to them very base hypocrisy. I cordially give them credit for such ardent sincerity, tbat—l feel assured—if " The Alliance" had led to a Free Church of England, they would have hailed it as a great and glorious blessing. As I wholly differ from their opinion, that a legitimate —i.e. a scriptural—cant: belli had arisen in Scotland, or has arisen in England, I am, of course, very glad that all such expectations as may have been formed, or half formed, from the Alliance, have been disappointed so far. And I do not believe that the Alliance possesses now, in Scotland, all the attract . ou which belonged to it six months ago. _ _ With part ofyour letter I fully accord. "To abate the dissertaiors which divide churches and individuals" is, in deed, a blessed work, and truly blessed are the real peace tnakers. Hut this is a deep work, involving deep prin ciples, and demanding—for even a a mall measure of rill cess—much patienge and unobtrusive rat .. .denial. It is not to be carried by an experiment like" The Alliance" rash in its origin, vague in its objects, and superficial, very superficial in its cnbgreme. —Orders have been re ifies in this port to ad- he no- 1 -“, ties to t the govern- the passengers by the Cauibra steamship, on Saturday, 41 " 0 0 from Boston and Halifax, was Joseph Lonaparte, the bro e777 to o ther of the distinguished Napoleon Bonaparte.

T t . iaeL, we view tnat tree trade is suicide on the part of Mr. Cobden and the weavers. We cannot suppose any way by which Sir Rcbert Peel has secured the support of those independent members of the aristoc:acy, who are favourable to his measure, in the face of the scorn of their friends and the inward contempt of their former political adversaries, but by their seeing it to be the ultimate interest of THEIR CLASS. Sir Robert Peel may have shown them that, as they individually are now able to submit to a loss, they should do so, as this would be the only means of rolling back the tide of popular feeling in politics, and securing the re duction of every interest in the country into the narrow limit that formerly enabled them to control the govern ment of the country. Sir Robert Peel's measure, in fact, as he well knows, while he puts all interests down, puts down the manu facturing interest more than any other, and will eventually make it a secondary interest in England. Sir Robert Peel's measure may deprive the landlord of luxuries, or even comforts, which an artificial state of so ciety has named necessaries, but the weaver will be de prived of ACTUAL EMPLOYMENT (as a weaver): thus, Ist. The landlords who are not driver, to become absen tees will not be able to pay for seventy-five per cent. (or three•fourths) the amount of goods they now take, and a large part of that diminished quantity • will be foreign manufactures. 2nd. The tenants and agricultural labourers, even if they take as many goods, (a thing impossible,) will, like the other classes of the community, prefer some (less or more) foreign articles, and thus a falling off in the manu facture of the British article will accrue ; but as the British agriculturists and weavers will both have to com pete with foreigners of less expensive habits or modes of life, who are, in fact, content with coarser food than the English get in workhouses, and not require the same amount of fuel or clothing—their views in these respects must no doubt come down to prevent them starving amid so cruel a competition (foreigners having the run of British markets, but not the British in foreign markets.) 3d. The colonies will, in the same wuy, take fewer British goods, under free trade between each colony and all the world even if their means of buying were not reduced. It is self-evident, however, that, to the extent that their wheat, or their sugar, or their timber produces less money, they must take fewer goods. 4th. The manufacturer will not have all these deficien cies in demand from British and hitherto favoured chan nels made up to him by a similar or greater amount of in crease in the foreign demand. On the contrary, instead of increasing, the foreign demand will gradually fall off; governments abroad will, by their duties, prohibit British goods the more they see that they can in British gold for their products find for a few years that impulse for their domestic manufactures which hitherto they have wanted, but which in a few years would not only create in an in creased manufacturing population a great enduring home market for their produce (enduring if they don't take up free trade theories), but enable them to compete with England in other foreign markets, if not in England itself. So that the independent aristocracy see, that, though the ordeal will be a fiery one to their neighbours whose lands are in debt, and a more fiery one still to the manu facturers, or rather weavers, the final re su lt w ill assure dl y be, that the landow ners will be the permanently predo minant and popular or powerful interest, the weavers having been one-half driven back again to the fields by want of manufacturing employment. The effect, in fact, of Sir Robert Peel's mea sure w ill b e to prevent all pro gress in manufacturing, and reduce the whole of the in terests of the country into a narrower compass, in which, in the way we have pointed out, agriculture will loom the largest, not because large, but because all other interests have been made smaller in proportion by Sir Robert Peel's liberal measure. Without imputing improper, or rather dishonourable motives to Sir R. Peel, we ass.lrt beyond the fear of con tradiction, that at present he is the means of misleading the public mind. Towards the end of his great speech on the evening of the 16th ult. he says— And suppose the tenant said, " But this is a labourer's ques tion ?" I should answer, " Then,my good fellow if we make this land which now produces three quarters, produce five quarters, we shall employ more labourers. There will be a greater de mand for labour, and all parties will be benefited. The estate will be benefited ; the guarantee for the rent will be improved; your comfort will be increased; there will be more labour em ployed ; and all this by the application of a little of that saving . . which the hon. gentleman says the rich are to derive from the tariff 1 inuoduceu (loud cheers). Those business men who cheered Sir Robert Peel knew full well, if he did not, that his remark if true of any land, is only true of the very best land, and that showing that some lands could grow two-thirds more wheat, is just showing that the price of wheat would be so reduced with `ree Utile as ti' - necessary to t' - lands num, , _nrow tne poorer h. (such as would yield rao more than the present crops) into woods or grass, as being worth no rent at all for purposes of cultivation. If the poorer lands are thrown out of cultivation, it will be impossible to make up the loss out of an increase of ven two-thirds on the better lands, and there will be nothing like the means in the country to buy manufac tures. Mr. Hudson, in his speech, states— That the probable average price of corn under the new bill would be from 355. to 40s. a quarter. The hon. member's calculation will prove quite correct. Let us suppose a farm now let let thus— co acres at ..€3 per acre Produces 300 quarters at a clear profit of r. 66,.

From the official statement of the exports and impnrte of Great Britain to the different parts of the world far the year 1843, to which we have alluded, we find that the whole weight of cotton yarn and cotton goods exported from Great Britain annually is 120,000 tons, and the value £23,500,000. _ It follows, then, that one-half the tonnage employed' in carrying the West Indian exports (value £2,882,441) would be sufficient to carry the whole cotton export trade of this country ; and as regards the North American trade, one-seventh of its tonnage would be sufficient to carry all that cotton trade about which Mr. Cobden has made such a noise, but whose real and great intrinsic importance to the empire no agricul , urist nor colonist has ever shown any disposition to undervalue that we are aware of. We cannot better finish off this statement than by re— peating that, while the trade of British America and the West Indies, stated in 1813 to be only £14,000,000, em ploys 2,900 ships of 970,000 tons, and 60,000 seamen, our trade with the United Slates, estimated at £22,000,000 (three-fifths being imports of raw cotton, &c.), is carried in 350 ships, of 233.000 t :ns ; and the import from China, amounting to £5,000,000, is brought in 84 ships of 39,712 tons. any in 1796, em The trade of America when our col gloved, on an average of three years. 1,078 ships and 28,910 seamen, and the value of the gocds taken from Great Britain was £3,370,000; the export of the colony being £3,924,606. The population of the United States is now nearly tea times what it then was, without any great permanent increase in our exports to America (causes over which we had no control, brought them down in the year IBl2'to £3.528 807). In our colonies, on the contrary, we have the control of their laws affecting trade and the currency,. so that there is a progressive increase with little or no rLucru.k- TION, and did no other difference show its e lf b etween colonial and f ore i gn trade, this alone were a strong argil ment in favour o f t h e co l on i al system, especially when we also take into account that the protits of the colonial trade remain in and ag gran di se t h e empire, generally coming home to be spent i n th e mot h er country. And when we coolly refl ect on the facts of this case, we cannot attribute it to a n y cause b ut a most morbid ex citement of mind, leading him t o over l ook not only liis own interests and peace of mind, hut nose operatives whom he influences, that a generally s h rew d man lik - Mr. Cobden should prefer foreign to home and co l on i a l trade; for he knows well—he cannot but know —that all his money was made out of that moderate b u t stea d y pro fltableness of the protected home and Briti s h cclanla markets, which no foreiet Let that gentlema League, think of t le whate tinuing to place in a more rayoni working men of Lancashire the ft or colonial wheat grower, althoug takes gold for his produce, which is the raw materibl of cotton from 1 with the British or cot ton from Manc lonial a ire to. s of the some cases trebled, in' value by h labour before the the British is if he took s compared t taking that same bly-taxed And, let the members of the Anti• Corn-law League be prepared (once free trade is established and our system of national interests and credit put down) to be able to suggest to the British Government answers to make to the colonists in British America when they ask, as they naturally will do, before risking their lives in an Oregon war:—What more interest or have in the British empire than tn, _ what obigations can remain on them to in. meet which has denuded itself of all permanent un having set constitutional public opinion at defiat:ce, allowed itself, more than the Congress of the United States, to be made the mere tool of whatever patties in the State brawl the loud( at' Free trail +ion if cn Cianadia e, however, cannot be of very for n to produce the public cal dict, or if England intends to of her national debt, wh in THE EMPLtiTMENT OF OUR OWN k A Ike of packet.ships to run between Baltimore e York and Havre packets, together with the Roscoe, have been purchased for that pUT,O,e.
