AT a PUBLIC MEETING of the INHABITANTS of ORMSKIRK, held in the Towri-HALL, on WEDNES DAY, the I lth 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 Railway projects before Parliament, The CONSTABLE of the TOWN in the Chair. The Secretary of the Committeehaving presented a Report to the Meeting of their proceedings during the last Session of Par liament, and urging the superior advantages offered by the Liverpool, Onnskirk. 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,,,Ntighbourhood, It was proposed by Mr. STONER, seconded by Mr. BAXEN 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, "That the Petition now read be adopted, and signed by the Chairman and Com mittee, on behalf 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, the thanks of the Meet ing was voted to him for his conduct in the chair, as also to the Committee, for their attention to the interests 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 Town of Ormskirk, in the county of Lancaster, in Public Meeting assembled, SHOWETH, 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 districts, 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 been presented to your honourable house, offering Railway communication to Ormskirk, as appears by the plans deposited under the order of your honourable house, namely, the Liverpool, Ormskirk, and Preston, and the Liver pool and PreStoll 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 diversity 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, in miles in length, intersects the main line from Melling to Farington, at a aistance 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 Railway, granted and Preston Branch joining the Ormskirk extension of the Liverpool and Bury granted in the last session of Parliament, passing through Orin skirk to Southport, only 101 miles in length, will not only more generally and efficiently accommodate Southport one of the ter mini, but the town of Onnskirk, from whence the supplies for the consumption of Southport are principally procured, besides opening the coal fields before alluded to, from whence Onnskirk and Southport have hitherto been supplied with coals. That your Petitioners conceive that theirinterests and that of the public will be greatly injured by the spirit of monopoly which 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 to the public, should your Honourable House app rove o f th e 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 Bill for making certatn Railways and Branches therefrom, all in the county of Lancaster, to be . galled the Li verpool Enid Preston and Manchester and Southport Railway, and against all such clauses and provisions of the .sc.dd Biil as affect their rights and interests, and that the said Bill may not be passed into a Law as it now stands, or they may have such other relief in the premises as to your jionotaolle Bow eball seem meet. . And your petitioners will ever pray. 111 - 4, I,IMIPOOL STANDARD. SOUTH CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS, In connexion with St. Michael's Church, Pitt-street.

A severe case of Rheumatism, communicated by Mr. Allen, Proprietor of the " Nottingham Mercury." Mercury 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 Watnall, near this town, called upon me on Saturday last, being desirous of making her case known for the benefit of the public. It appears that Mary Wain had 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 ther fetched her (torn 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 description, "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 day she could not only lift her hand up to feed herself, but she could also move about on crutches. Since that time she - has had five more boxes of the Pills, and, if I may juit,, ,, e - from appearances, is as well as she ever was in her life, and has been so for some months past. You are at liberty-fo make use of my name if you think it will add to the weight - of this testimonial. - I am. Sir, yours truly, RICHARD ALLEN. To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEU MATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheu matism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago ? sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed of every rheumatic or gouty affection; in fact, such has been the ra pidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom, but contains many grate fulevidences of its benign influence.

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 o ty f u t t he t i o r 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.

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:ticn 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 nut 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, "Touching the proposed Evangelical Alliance, I am per suaded that it contained a snare for the unsuspecting Evangeli cal Clergy of the Church of England; to lead them into a posi tion from which retreat would have been hopeless; and the only consistent issue would have been a secession, Szc." 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 Church of England. Such a design 1 have the best reason to know was not at all in the minds of the excellent pro jeet.)rs of the conference, and still less can the imputation of harbouring it be laid against the members of that con ference. To make this evident, I may be adowed to state some 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 several Christian denominations e ere held in different parts of the kingdom. At a meeting somewhat of this kind, in Edinburgh, so far back as 1813, 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, belon;ing to that body, the pro priety of getting a series of essays expository of these verses, with a view to making the churches more aware of the present lamentable state of defection 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. These were in due time published, at the expense of the gentleman referred to, and very extensively distributed and crculated. As an appendix to the essay on the state of religions parties in England, the aethor. 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, bo; h 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 ultimately the place appointed. The re.,ult 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's 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 a.: 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 see ssion 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 roe 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! expressed confidence that he would be glad of an opportunity to clear himself from the appearance of having done so. I am, respectfully. &c. * * * * * s , We subsequently obtained a copy.—E. L. S. Bachelor-street, 14th March. 1846. REV. AND DEAR 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 EXACTLY wilat the objects indicated as its purpose might be supposed to give pr...of of. 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 tr e to assure him, and any of the brethren, that you impute nothing so base, but, on the contrary, you would scorn to be 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 editor aforesaid to give a disclaimer. If it please our Lord to bless the association's humble attempt to abate the dissensions that divide churches 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. and Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, ** * * To the Rev. Hugh M'Neile. * Editor of Standard. Monday Morning,.lGth . March, 1846: DEAR SlR,—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 1 impute any " base" or dishonourable motives to any of our brethren. I believe that many of the Free Church leaders in Scot land anticipated a similar movement in England. Their own words might be largely quoted to this effect. Dr. Candl'sh 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'Aubigne 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 bad 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 iu 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, that—l feel assured—if" The Alliance" had led to a Free Church of England, they would have hailed it as a great and glorious bl ess i ng . As I wholly differ from their opinion, that a legitimate —i.e. a scriptural—casuy both . had arisen i n S co tl an d, or has arisen in England, I am, of course, very glad that all such expectations as tray 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:on which belonged to it six nanoths ago. NVitli part of your letter I fully accord. '' To abate the disanyiions which divide churches and individuals" is, in deed, a blessed work, and truly blessed are the real peace makers. tut this is a deep vork, involving deep prin ,:iples, and demanding—for even a small measure of :412- cess—rouch patience and unobtrusive stlf•tlenial. I t i s not to be carried by au experiment like " The Alliance" rash in its, origin, vague in its objects, and superficial, very superficial in its coherence. In reply to your observation about placing my answer t) your letter in the hands of die editorofone of our local news papers, I bez, to request that you will give him this letter for publication ; and I have to thank you fur affording me this opportunity of m re fully explaining myself on the point in question —Believe me, dear sir, with Christian esteem and respect, yours faithfully, HUGH 111`NEILE. Esq. FREE TRADE IS SUICIDE ON THE PART OF MR. COBDEN AND THE WEAVI4:IIS. (From the Scotch Reformers' Gazette.) On the rrinciple of "hear both sides," we give Mr.lsaac Buchanan's explanation of, how FREE TRADE IS SUICIDE ON THE PART OF DJR• COBDEN AND THE WEAVERS, being now satisfied of Mr. Buchanan's honesty of pur pose, and that his single object is to have that legislation which will give the greatest amount of emglopment to the labourer in Canada. He thinks that the same legislation that reduces the amount of labour in Canada will reduce the amount ofiemployment in the mother country, and he objects to free trade, as tending to lessen the amount of employment for the poor in this country as well a; in Canada The following, from a London paper, is from Mr. Buchanan's pen : In a former number it was shown that free trade must necessarily, in its very nature, lose us the colonies, be cause, the principle of protection abandoned, the colonial system (which is a mere branch of it) fells also, or, what is to our mind far worse (and could only ►ast a year or two), the colonies become a drag on the empire, hating ceased to benefit the mother country in any way after they have thrown off the Imperial Parliament's right to legislate for their trade, and commenced free trade with all the world. But we argue for the retention of the colonies only, because it is the interest of England. We hold that it were better tor England to lose her colonies, magnificent though these be, than to forbear &dog anything which is shown to be clearly in favour of the oppressed population in this country. Though we before pointed out that the adoption of free trade would necessarily lose the colonies (whose markets there is no reason for us going to the expense of defend ing, unless our manufactures are protected there), we do not pretend to argue that, to save the colnlies, for their own sake alone, should prevent us adopting free trade in England, if the greater and more itum.ecli,te interests of the mother country would be advanced thereby. Far, however, from this being the case, we view free trade as tending to reduce the extent of our own manu factures, to degrade the condition of our manufacturers, and thus to secure for the aristocracy by-and-bye a monopoly of political power in England, as rendering it in character more an agricultural country than at present! In fact, we view that free trade is suicide on the part of Mr. Cobden and the weavers. We cannot suppose any way by which Sir Itcbert Peel has secured the support of those independent members of the aristocracy, 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 feel may have shown them that, as they individually are now able to submit to a lots, they should do so, as this would be the only means of tolling 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 EMPLOYNIENT (as a weaver): thus, Ist. The landlords who are not driven 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 manufac:ures. 2nd. The tenants and agricultural labourers, even if they take as many go'ods, (a thing impossible,) will, like the other classes of the community, prefer some (less or more) foreign articles, arid 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 wey, 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 (enduting 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 result will assuredly be. that the landowners 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 measure will be 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 ail 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 16r.h nit. 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 he more labour em ployed ; and all this by the application of a little of that saving which the lion. gentleman says the rich are to derive from the tariff 1 introducer, (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 wojd be so reduced with free trade as to make it necessary to throw the poorer lands (such as would yield no more than the present crops) into wootis 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 even 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 calcu!ation will prove quite correct. Let us suppose a farm' now let let thus— 100 acres ni X 3 per acre Produces 3uo quarters at a clear profit of 265. Bd., equal to 400 Remaining to the tenant .... .elOO We assume that neither tenant nor agricultural la bourer will, till absolute necessity compels it, work for less than at present; and that the first brunt of this free trade in corn will come on. the two extremes, the landlord and weaver. We think that foreign competition will lead to the fol lowing result in the case of the best lends The acres will now be let for one.half -tl3O The produce will be raised 30 per cent., so that As. 3d. will do instead of 51s. lad.

Yes, the Premier triumphantly concludes— This is what you have to decide by your vote on this ques tion—will you advance or will you recede? Which is the po licy best suited to the commerce of this great empire ? And again— What should be the motto of a country like this ? Should it be advance or retrograde ? Now, we deny that Sir R. Peel has shown bow any one of the great interests of England is to he advanced, or how (under free trade with all the world) it is possible to prevent less or more sacrifice to every great and vital in terest in the country. He talks, indeed, of the trade in feathers! as if the dis tress of all the dealers in feathers in Europe were equal with us to the want f agricultural employment in one of the 12000 parishes of England, or to the distress of the little Scotch town of Paisley, which came to a ctisis in 1812 in consequence of the export of gold for wheat, espe cially in 1833, reducing the demand for fancy goods or luxuries. Sir Rlbert Peel professes that he is about to remove all res:rietions fi om the tuod of the people, but he does not show how that greatest restriction, the want of employ ment or means to buy food, or, in other words, how la bour is to be supplied. Like the T tiles, Sir Robert Peel seems to suppose that fowl is the means of a people, instead of labour being so. The leading journal, which has been as much or more the actm.l cause of the attempted repeal of tlie corn-laws as Sir R. Peel or Lord John Russell, says in one of its late numbers— What would have resulted from a deinani for labour, if corn had not been cheap arid plentiful ? Suppose a nation -it is only too easy to suppose it—it is only too nee-ssary to anticipate it— undertaking •' great internal improvements." and rous..d into great 'activity of trade." with only moderate and average stock of food in hand. There can be only one result, and that a very fee; ful one. We should inevitably xhaust that stock too qui k, and precipitate the nation into the double disaster of bankruptcy and dearth—iindertaki; gs ended, and food consumed. In the case of the nation as in the ca-e rl the indi vidual, activity is madness and improvements are ruin, the mo ment they pass beyond the capital at command. A kingdom covered with earthquakes in acthe progress, and drawing every day more large!) , on a merely ordinary stock of for d, is. in the case of the private speculator, who. by the time Ire has half completed the she:ls of twenty new houses, and contracted debts to the extent of his cred t, finds he has no, a sixpence left for daily bread. Demand for labour is not pro,perity ; without food —without food in hand, or certainly attainable—it is calamity. The foregoing shews not only that the Times puts food in the important place of capital, or employment, which are required before a people can get food ; but that. though usually arguing that England will easily get millions of quarters of wheat from foreign countries at a small price, the Times, when it suits its argument, fi:-..ds out that with an overwhelming demand for labour, or other wise with the ability to pay the largest price, we could not get our hands on foreign corn! In the above quotation there is the following beautifully written but also most beautifully absurd sentence In the case of the nation, as in the case of the i n di v id ual, "activity" is madness, and " improvements" are ruin, the mo ment they pass beyond the capital at command. Did the Times, or any one else, then, ever hear of an individual with pl' nty of employment, or, what is the same thing, plenty of money, finding that he could not find food in England either at ode price or another ? It is not abundance of wheat, but abundance of the means of getting, not only the commonest food, but also the higher wants of man. that constitute the prosperity and happiness of a people, otherwise we should (contrary to the decision of our senses) go in with Sir Robert Peel, and say that the coarsest fed, the worst clothed, and the worst educated parts of Europe are the most blessed as having the most wheat. And why should Sir Robert Peel or any other minister, degrade the condition of Englishmen by bringing them into competition with populations on the continent the most inferior ? But, Sir Robert Peel is either correct in assuming that much of the land in England will produce two-thuds more wheat, or he is not correct in this assumption. If he is not correct, then the filling off in the ability of the country to purchase manufactures will be very great, with a reduced price... If he is correct in his assumption, the increase in pro duction on such lands will still further, by lowering Me price, render lands whose yield cannot be increased worth no rent, and thus throw them out of cultivation, and pro bahly into woods, as we have shown. We desire shortly to recur to the subject of colonial trade to show its infinite s.uneriority over a fureigu trade, or a merely manufach ring commerce, and we take our figures from the offici;,! statement of the exports and im ports of Great Britain in 1813, not having the later returns at hand. In the trade between Britain and her colonies in the western world, about 60,000 stamen are year;y employed, for whom the amount of wages and cost of provisions cannot :be less than :0,500,000 per annum ; and the re pairs, insurance, and replacing of capital in ►he ships i 14,500,00 more. In the trade between Britain and India and China, 10,000 seamen are employed, and at a similar rate their wages, provisions, &c., will amount to £500.000; and the replacement of capital and insurance. £800.000; in all, £1,300,000. The VI h,lr, or nearly the whole, of the supplies necessary to maintain these seam-n and tonnage are the productions of British soil and labour, which, in a national point of view, shows the superiority of such a trade over a merely marailcoluriku commerce. A comparison of the trade of the eastern with that of the western world, taking the value of imports and ex ports wands nearly thus :—From and to China and the East Indialmut £16,000,000; and from and to Brim tisb Norttr‘iiserica and the West Indian Colonies, £14,000,000. It thus appears that the latter or British American trade requires nearly five times more ships, tonnage, and seamen to carry it on than the former, or trade to all India and China ! thereby affording an incalculebie ad vantage to a naval power, and the support of a naval force, and also to the employment of British labour and capital. _ _ From the official statement of the exports and imports of Great Britain to the different parts of the world for 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 c.hich Mr. Cobden has made such a noise, but whose reel and great intrinsic importance to the empire no agriculturist 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 1843 to be only £14,000,000, em ploys 2,900 ships of 970,000 tons, and 60,000 seamen, our trade with the United States, estimated at £22,030,000 (three-fifths being imports of raw cotton, &c.), is carried in 350 ships, of 233,G00 t , ns ; and the import from China, amounting to £5,000,000, is brought in 84 ships of 39,712 tons. The trade of America when our colony in 1796, em ployed, on an average of three years. 1,078 ships and 28,910 seamen, and the value of the goods 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 ten times what it then was, without any great permanent increase in our exports to America (causes crer which we had no control, brought them down in the year 1842 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 FLUcruA TION, and did no toiler difference show itself between colonial and foreign traf.le, this alone were a strong argu ment in favour of the colonial system, especially when we also take into account that the profits of the colonial trade remain in and aggrandise the empire, generally coming home to be spent in the mother country. And when we coolly reflect on the facts of this case, we cannot attribute it to any cause but a most morbid ex citement of mind, leading him to overlook not only his own interests and peace of mind, but Close operatives whom he influences, that a generally shrewd man Ilk, Mr. Cobden should prefer foreign to home and colonial trade; for he knows well—he cannot but know—that all his money was made out of that moderate but steady pro fitableness of the protected home and British colonial markets, which no foreign trade whatever can aspire to. Let t hat gentleman, then, and his associates of the League, think of the respom-ibility they undergo of con tinuing to place in a more favourable light before the working men of Lancashire the foreign than the British or colonial wheat grower, although the former of these takes gold for his produce, which is the same as it he took the raw materi:-.1 of cotton from Liverpool, as compared with the British or colonial agriculturist taking that same cotton from 11Ianchestcr, after it has been doubled, or in some cases trebled, iu value by highly-taxed British labour. 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 mare interest or connection Canadians now have in the British empire than the Americans have? and what obligations can remain on them to defend a govern ment which has denuded itself of ail permanent character, having set constitutional public opinion at defia::ce, and allowed itself, more than the Congress of the United States, to be made the mere tool of whatever parties in the State brawl the loudest? Free trade, however, cannot be of very long duration it it is shown to produce the public calamities that we pre dict, or if England intends to continue to pay the interest of her national debt, whose only permanent security lies in TILE EMPIA,YMENT OF OUR OWN P3OPLE. A line of packet ships has been determined upon to run between Baltimore and this port; sod two New York and Havre packets, together with the Roscoe, have been purchased for that !flir t we. ADMISSION OF INDIAN CORN.—Orders have been re ceived by the custom-house authorities in this port to ad.. mit maize, Indian meat, buck wheat, and rice, at the no minal duty of Is. per quarter : the parties to whom they belong giving bond to pay the higher duties, if the govern ment measure should be thrown out. BONAPARTE'S BROTH ER IN LIVERPOOL- -Amongst the passengers by the Cambria steamship, on Saturday, from Boston and Halifax, wss Joseph Bonaparte, the bro ther of the distinguished Napoleon Bonaparte. Joseph, who was at one time King of Spain, and whose proper title is now the Prince dt.,. Musiguano, is about sixty years of age, and very much resembles his renowned brother is height, expression of countenance, and general appearance. His manners are very unassuming. lie was accompanied only by his secretary, Mons. Mailliard, and after staying at the Adelphi Hotel until Sunday morning, he started for London. THE LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT.—On Saturday, Police officers, 61, 310, 434, and 627 appeared before Mr. Rush ton, to answer a complaint made against them by Mr. Benjamin Sullivan, a clerk, residing in Kent -street, of having unwarrantably interfered with him on Thursday night last. Mr. Rushton in suspending three of the offi cers, gave the particulars of the case. He said the officer's conduct had been marked by a total want of propriety. The facts of the case were exceedingly simple. A respee table man was going borne wi•h a bundle of cloth, and he complained about the annoyance be was receiving from some females, who ought to have been .dispersed by the officers. If the officers had suspected anything, they should have stated that they Ind received information of something wrong in the neighbcurhood, and that, though they were sort y to interrupt, yet they wished to know who he was. /f, then, be gave his name and address, it was easy to find out whether he gave it correctly, as be said he lived in the same street. But there was no evidence to justify them in stopping the man at al; ; and vet, not only had they stopped him, b u t t h ey h a d deta i ne d hi m i n the street while they t x; , m i ne d hi s parcel. and they bad said that he must go to hridewell it the bill wassnot pro duced, or if it did not correspond with the contents of the arcel. They sh ou ld not hate done anything of the kind. 'They had manifested a total want of discretion; and, in fact, the case was one of these which made police-officers appear worse than useless. It was a seri o us and most an noying interruption, for which officers 61, 434, and 627 must be suspended. As officer 3CO did not appear . to have said or done anything, he war ordered to be cont i nu ed in the force. G-- - -~
