THE lONIAN ISLANDS.

LPTURE OF THE RINGLEADERS OF THE
CEPHALONIAN INSURRECTION.

CORFU Ocr. 19.—The Wiener Zeitung, of the
25th, gals from the Official Gazette of Corfu to the
effect, that the two ringleaders of the insurrection in'
Cephalonia, namely, Via= and Bomboti, had been
deli :ered op to the government by 'he inhabitants of
a village where they had lain concealed. The Lord
High C,nimissioner upon this removed the embargo
on the shippiog, and also the state of siege. He had
not yet caused the amnesty to be proclaimed, because,
in consequent of certain coot lesions made by the
two prisoners in question, several individuals had
been arrested.

BUCKS ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF

REAL PROPERTY.-MR. DISRAELI.

AYLESBURY. Ocr. 31.
The first general meeting of the members and
friends of this association war held at the George lan tl-day,
6•r the purpose of taking into eonsithration ' the depressed
date of agriculture, and all classes connected tharewhh."

Ti. seals war very wooer, us 4 stood d by the gentle-
:ant oarsmen a the comity. Too chair was oroupiad by Woe.
LOWND2II. Esq., of Cboriaarm.
Letters of apology for non-attendance were mad front
Colontl Wirework, Mr. Halsey, M.P. for Harts, and An-
thruy Chester, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly Ppsned the proceedings,
r J. NEWMAN, J.P., of Brands House, proposed the
tint rtsplation as follows . .

That independently of supplying their share of the im-
perial revenue, the owners and occupien of real parity
are forced to raise a second , to the ani.ur.t of mini
millions sterling, by a promo, and under the name of "local
maw ion," though the ejects for which this mond revenue
is relied are altogether of • general and national character,
and therefore properly chargeable on the *Taira income of
the country, and not un a portion only ; especially when
that portion, rated at the highest estimate, scarcely amounts
to onwthid of the whole.
. . . .

Mr. E. STONE, tenant farmer, reonded the resolution,
which was unanisoutly carried.
Mr. DISRAELI, M.P., rose to propose the second reso-
lution amid load cheers. He said—Mr.Chairman and gen-
tlemen, this is the first meeting of • new association re-
cently formed in this county, en association far the relief of
real property. Real property, gentlemso, i I its most impor-
t at particular, is at this time peculiarly suffering. The I.nel
of Ragland, and especially the cuttiveturs of the la-d, are
suffering at this moment, and, as they believe, from the acts
of the legislature. (Hear.) trader these excianastancer,
you have naturally been called upon to consider your pod-
tioa and see where you are suffering, whether )cie prub ably
nu,eht not be subj. et to imposts and charges 'rich the rest
of your fellow subjects are exempt from. Now, gentlemen,
this society are of opinion that it does not become us to be
idl-e but that in the present parliament we may silver:et
many questions, and perhaps carry many measures, all of
which nave • tendency to the restoration of protection, and
which, so far as they move in that direction, will prove of
a remedial, and perhaps of a highly remedial character to you.
(Hear, hese.) Now, gentlemen, with regard to those of our
Wends, who lay it down as • principle that it is useless to
attempt to obtain any relief from the present parliament, I
would orators to °burs that I think that prin,iple of ac-
tion is net very nentitutioeal in the first place, and I doubt
in thin next plus whether it livery just. It is not the present
parliament that repealed the corn laws. It is no: the pres eat
got. lament that repe.lcel the corn lam.. (Hear, hear.) On
tee contrary, all who know the original tendency of 'he pre-
sent government know this, that so to from rep sling the
corn lows, they would have substituted a me ifization of
protection, which we all of =now would be very glad to so.
apt. (Hear and cheers.) Now, Ido not presume to form
' • better opinion of your chances of obtaining relief from the
House of Commons than some of those gcntitmen who nave
given their opinions to the country, bet I pass a greet
put of my life is the House of Common*. It is my
butane as your representative to study the temper and tone
et
that assembly. I know something, I think, of the
opisiuns of those who bra that anembly, both collectively
and individually, and from that know'. dge I have ',need
at thee:cincture& that It is by no meths • desperate effort to
=to this Hoes of C -mmorn for measures of • remedial
r for pen. (Chem) I would not he saute to ewer
my opinion, formed ma emus obsereatiun, that the majority
of that present Hawse of Commons are net by any means de-
voted to that ineonsist. eat and inc abeyant system which is
too much honoured by being called • system of free trade.
(Hear, hear.) Well, then, that being the case, having that
inapreasidu, ant remembering that the parent government
as • b.ey of public men are almost lets vio-
lently devoted to those new-frigle.l prin.:4l,s than
any body of men in the House of Common. that ever teemed
• g Torment, I c.nnotosith the prospect of four years pee-
-1 pettily before me of this present artiamee.t, sincerely , outsell
you to do nothing bat despair. (Cheers) I will melee cue
observation generally, before I enter into any details, with
respect to the particular interest that has called us together.
When I say I look krward to the time when a wise sinew-
tire system will be established in this country, I mean a
system that will be goner illy protective of the interests of
all closes of Englishmen—l wish to guard myself from being
suppos d, Iu making v.'se observations, or any other Omer-
maims I may chance to make, to advocate only the inter st
with whic 1 am comae cited. In the hour of dazger and difficulty
it is very true that the other great interests of this ouun-
es7 were not faithful to the agricultural iaterest.
When we were attocketi in 1846, when we toted your
battle as well as we could, the 'hippie g interest, the colonial
interest, and the timber interest were cot found ranged
Oar side. (Hear, hear.) But, wh. a their turn came, which
we predict. d to them weeld c.me, we did not for • moment
choose to remember that went of sympathy and support on
their side, on the contrary ; we exerted our utmost atergies
n their behalf, because, acting for them, we vindicated a
great principle. (Hear and cheers) Graduate, Lord
George Bentinck, the best and greatest of men, sacrificed
his life to the West India is° r. st; and when the shipping in-
ter, st was n-ailed more recently, a> powerful were the efforts
made by the agricultural constituencies and their representa-
tives, that that impolitic change in our navigation hews was
nearly defeated. (Hear, bear.) I say this, gentlemen, be-
cause a meet respectable individual, a man fur whom I have
a very great respect and regard, an eminent ship.builder,
has recently at • public meeting expressed his opinion' with
great compliments to myself—(a laugh)—that I wasgoieg
on a little too feu in my recommendationss to the &smut.
tural b idy. Perhaps that gentle man in 1646, when I op-
posed t'.e change in the corn laws, thought I was going a
little too slow—(laughter)—but, with your permission, I will
pursue that eoune which I think the wisest. (Cheer.)
Gentlemen, I unequivocally support protection te. agricul-
ture, (loud el ern.) And Ido 23 upon this ground, be-
cause. I believe that protection is the parent of cheaper. and
abundance. (Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, sines the
peace, making a due and even liberal ailowarece for the
recurrence to cash payments, the cwt of production of a
quarter of wheat has been reduced 100 per cent., under pro-
tection. Since the peace, the British farmer has raised from
the acre a greater quantity of produce than any farmer in
pe, and • much greater quantity of produce than any
farmer in the United Suites under protection. (Applause.)
Therefor* it is unanswerable, to my mind, that protection
has produced cheapness and abundance. N see, genera-a,
that is your ease in an economical point of view.
It is one that has been answered, which no free trader
could meet, because no free-trader could deny facts so
patent. All the attacks on the late law were attacks on
details—arguments to prove that a sliding scale would not
work, that a fixed duty was not beneficial; but no argu-
ment was brought forward to show that protection had not
produced abundance and cheapness. And when I say that
I am for protection to agriculture, I guard myself sorest
all details. When I a.y that, Ido not mean to say that I
am for any particular law that may be devised to-nserrow,
or that may have bees abrogated yesterday. leh not enter
either on sliding scales cr fixed duties. lam for protection
to agriculture, because that has produced cheapness end
abundance (Cheers.) I my further, that what I mean
by protection is this—a system that will leave to the landed
pro; rioter that possemion which the constitution has slotted
to bins, and will permit him to remain the natural leader of
the pimple— • system wbieh will melt- the cultivation of the
soil the principal branch of the industry of the kingdom,
which will make agriculture flourish ; and agriculture can-
not flourish unless the farmer and the labourer rewire •
remunerating price, and ample and proper wages. (Hear,
hear.) I mean by protection, gentlemen, the sesintenasee
of the territorial constitution of the country, which cannel
remain toilets agriculture is the most flourishing pursuit la
England, just as agriculture cannot remain the most
demobbing industry of this country, without the =bite-
Dance of the territorial °Destitution. (Loud applause.)
come now to consider what is the best coarse for the
agricultural interest in all its branches, classes, and
ramifications to take, at this moment of almost unporalelled
depression, with a still more gloomy future before them.
You have had placed beforee you one of those measures which
this society recommends you to adept. The question of the
burdens on real property has now become • public question.
It has been plated in a light so clear, and in a position so
difficult to discomfit, that you may fairly say that
Me public generally, upon the subject of real
property, entertains correct and accurate ideas. Many
are prepared "to tell us of the difficulties we must
encounter in settling the question." No one is more sessible
of those difficulties than myself. It is difficult to reconcile
local jurisdiction and national contribution ; It is difficult at
all times to settle interests of such complicated details. In
180. when Lord George Sentinels warned the firemen of
Ragland not to be deceived by the high prices which from
peculiar circumstances they could then command, but that
the pinching hour was inevitable, and when he Galled upon
them as their friend to send to parliameat only men on
whom thew could depend. whv Lord Guru Bentinth
was looked upon as • vhdonuy. Roe did not attend
to him, and where are you sow ? (Rear, hear.) So it

Is with this question of the burdens on tool property. There
is no dial:ally about it, but difficulty of detail. You have
conquered the principle, sad you .must leave the details to
thou who are ',eversible for the settlement of such sub-
jam No doubt it is very inamventent for the ministry of
this tawdry, from whatever party it may be formed, to have
to aueouotsr a question of such magnitude, but the respond-
hilly ream with thou parried., parties who, by their ran
and par lootrnek ebonies of the kw, forced you to recon-
sider year position. Had the repeal of the corn laws not
takes place it is very possible that we might not have cm-
atbd in this country the feeling that now rains against these
unjust taut (Hear.) But that only shows, gentlemen,
the rub, the kocherest, and the antatour man-
ner in which the settlement of the corn laws
was bonded through the Home of Cotamono, thrum\
• House of CJIBZBOBS pledged to support them—(hear, hear)
—whoa this question of just compartment to you was net
at the lams tame cossidered. Let as suppose that was
named In esnylog laws foutded ea the resoludon whieb
has been moved by Mr. Newman and sersnded by Mt.
Suns. The only tendency of success, let me remind you,
will be this, that Jou will be put ea a footles with mem
fellow-subjects. That is all that you sok, and all that yea
will obtais. (Hear, hear.) But when you find yourselwe
in the molest day on ties same footing ex your fellow citizens
you will dad yourselves upon a footing' of discontent. Whes
you have obtained an equality with your SAWA-subjects cm
this question of taxation, you will find it is an equality of
mursourinit and disowisfaction. Haviog obtained that ealiete
blended wait the multitude, no longer distinguished from the
great IMO of the sominamoy by the puivithm of paying
taxes from which they are exempt, the agriultnral interest
will still find that all they have obtained by this equality is,
that they are companions of a community that are suffering,
as they say. under an overwhelming harden of imperhd
taxed's. Now, what an you to do under those circum.
stances? In my opioion, gentlemen, upon the conduct
the agricultural constituencies in county or in borough—
upon their conduct with reference to this great question of
relief from general taxation the future of this country de-
pends. (Coen) Atd, therefore, in this society, at this
moment, and under these cirenniatanees, called BIJOU to-day
to consider the depression of your iodustry, and
the tweeting calculatel to relieve it, the most
important subject for us to ceneid r is, what mune
you will take with respect to general relief from kWh.
✓id taxation. (Hear, hear.) Now, gelatinises, In the
tint place, I won el beg you tococsider thsttherek no man, I
apprehend, in this room who can suggest the repeal of any
t.x which could for a =omen* b.• looked upon as just com-
perwition for the protective potty you have lost,
("Hear, hear," and climes.) It is possible that some
person might rise and with difficulty fix upon
ono tax the roped of which might afford some ca-
-1 .nrable relief in a very slight degree in some particular
county or locality. Thot Is the most he can do. At the
first glance, therefore, you all observe that the agri-
cultural interest arc not in a position to join In
the clamour for a repeal or taxes until they have
ascertained what are the taxes the repeal of which
will be a compensation to them for the protection they have
lost, what aro the tikes that will hive to the fanner ream-
Rotative prices, and maintain and increase the wages of the
:shouter. (Cheer) Yen may be hurried on in a moment
of passion, and find yourselves mottled, and justly mortified,
by ths treacherous conduct you have already ezoeriencod
trots men in power. (Hear, hear.) Take my word for it,
that it is the most serious moment in your lives, sad upon
which the fate of that noble industry which most of yes
practice depends, if you rashly, inconsiderately, and passion-
ately join in schemes for th- repeal cf taxes which will sot
benefit you. though they may benefit others that are offend
to you. Now, then, if at the first blush the arl
cultural interest can have BO fair prospect of IF
nerd relief from the repeal of taxes, let mi
inquire wi h what face the manulactoriog intend, or even
the commercial interest can CABO forward and me that in
consequence of their suffering they demand • repeal of the
imperial taxation of the country ? Rememb. r that for some
yeits past the whole legisktion of this country has been
conducted in deference to the fl-eel principles sod the
financial policy of the manufacturing and commercial
interests. Ten years ago I heard the most eminent leaders
of the manufaeturicg totem! repeatedly assert that is we
repealed the corn laws they could beat the world. Well,
the minister of that day was not prepared to repeal the
corn laws. He made what is called a great experiment."
Now, I will tell you what Sir R. Peel meant by "a greet
• speriment." It was not really the comoom preti xt that
by diminishing the duties on imports you might iIOBOOBO
comoniption. The "groat experiment" of that party of whisk
I was a member—the great conomutive party—was to see
whether they could not save the cons lays by • great »due-
dm of bedizen taxation. (Hear, hear.) Unter those cir-
mossidasses seven mallow and a half of iodized taxes were
taken of All the duties ea raw materials—a great dist-
ation of the duties on all articles that entered into general
consumption—seven millions and • half of the revenue were
sacrificed to save the corn lawn, and it ended by that interest
which had obtained that .even and • kilt million., getting
tee repeal of the corn lass beside,. But, iu addition to ob.
Mining those ,even and a halt millions of r. pod of indirect
modem, beri•ies obtaining the repeal of the corn laws, the
se oat boon that the commercial interest obtained was the
total repeal of the p stage of the country—an alter-
ation that has made • difference of hundreds,
and, in some instances, of even thousand*, in
t'-e mural expenditure of great firma. (Hear, hear.)
Well, gentlemen, this is the condi:lot of the manufactur-
ieg area c oilmen:id interests. Remember that, besides all
this, according to their own es mate they are obtaining
countless treasures from the 'voodoo of o.d markets, and
the iliecovery of new o. es. Reno ether alio, end never for-
get it, that according to their own estimate, the estimate of
• gentleman high in economic science, the former secretary
of the Board of Trade—remember that according to the
estimate of that gentleman, wt.o was said to tare been re-
turned to parliament in nonequence of that estimate, and
who was also said to have drawn the tariff of Sir Robert
Peal, the people of England are now, by the rep-al of the I
woviaion laws, gaining two millions sterling per week.
That is the valuate of Mr. II egeolor, the member Le
°Avow, and the prime ceunsolicr and confidant
of the government that repealed the corn.lews.
(Hear, hear.) Well, then, with what colour can
the manufacturing and commercial inter sts come for-
ward and demand a repeal of the great mass of taxes under
the plea that they are suffering ? How is it posrliels that
with the immense increase of population which has taken
place, with the v gat increase of wealth, with our commerce
greatly increased, with our manufactures doubled, and with
I • very large &unbutton in the taxation—how is it possible
that there can be that suffering from the burden of taxation
of which wo hems so much from particular quarters? Gen-
ilemen, the fat is, that those who clamour about this bur-
den of taxation, are those, limited in numbers though power-
ful i.e orgeniution, who wish to stimulate forei:n markets
which they have glutted already with their productions as in
the cos of China, or they are a body who, tin-
der the 11•010 of Financial Reform, contemplate
political change ; and I will show you that the
pe liticol charge they contemplate under the name of finan-
cial reform is a change hostile to the property and industry
of the owners and occupiers of real property in. land. (Hear,
heat) Genii men, finand .1 reform means, in fact. direct
taxation ; and direct taxation, kunvever plunible at fint, in-
aunch as all property in thi, country, except real property.
is of • most evanescent and fleeting character, inasmuch as
the landholder in London, if taxed, will buy funds at
Yonne or Brussels—it is quite clear that the bonitos of
direct taxation mast ultimately and speedily fall on real pro-
perty. (Applause.) And, gentlemen, the greater the bur-
den of taxation on you the more your industry will dwiudk
to meet that catastrophe on which they count. Now,
under those circumensces, I think no course is
more to be deprecated than that the agricultural
coostimencies @timid join in this el.mour for the
70:Allika of imperial taxation. What the agricultural
iuterest requires, and this country requires, I. not
diminution of taxation, but increase of means. (Chum.)
New, I believe there is • measure which, if supported by the
aoricrelkuml interest of this wonky, may be productive of
very great advantages to you, and, gentlemen, it is one of
those measures which—taking • tendency to the same object
to which I alluded before, and which must not be kat sight
of—nso ely, the restoration of • judicious system of protec-
tive policy—l think may be obtained from the present
parliament (Hear, hear.) In all the efforts made last
year, in those pranged dimensions and divitioas in which
the question of the new commercial system et all
entered, and is which your interest was brought
under consideration, it is • curious thing to observe
the vast number of members who &bleated themselves
fr m the divieinr.s. What was called the fret-trade party
represetted by tLe government always polled Melts last man.
What was eared tot protectionist party manfully and fairly
came foe. and on every occasion. In the particular debate
on the burdens on agr-culture we were beaten only by 90,
on there were on that "cession 120 men who did not Tom at
all. You may Oaks for granted that thou 120 men would
have voted it the tinch had ben felt then which k fait now,
atd if their constituents had only reminded them that the
time had come when they must do somethirg for their
relief. (Hear, bear) I want to absorb this fleeting body
in the perty that will vote for measures of agrictilturalrelief,
and I do not despair of doing that, particularly if you do mot
mix up the arricultural question in any way with
party politics. Let all join you who are interested an the
land directly or indirectly, but do not make the land ques-
tion a 'machine to subvert the government. If you can
obtain from this government measures of advantage and of
justice, be thonlnul. Remember that the prime ssisista of
England is the child of • great territorial house. (Hear )
Remember that the whim), though they are the unfortunate
creatures of circumstances—(laughter)—which is no their
own fault, because they were lofted to take the government
of this country without the country wishing them to take
ire-(bear, bat)—remember that the whist have sympathies
with the land ; and, gentlemen, if you nod an iodination
on their part to support eassador which have • ten-
antry to your roller, do not refuse that
.support,
and do not, under any eireemistances, six those
measures with party polities. (Cheers.) Now, the mea-
sure whim I think may be obtained, and which I believe
would be productive of vast importance, is one upon which
I will touch for akw moments. I have col, mint cur/only

alluded to it. I belie,'" that at this moment, inasmuch es
it is not the interest of the lead to reduce the general
taxatios, and as it is the interest of the land to Milt**
plans of thou who would diminish the general taxation,
it is of the greatest importance that you should call on the
legislature to establish a sinking fund ; and now I will ex-
plain to you what will be the effect of that upon the in- 1111-
dustry and property of the owners and occupi• rs of land. '
Oa this point, I will take, u I always do, the dat• and the
estimate of our opponent'. We have upon the rub- ge
jut of the sinking fund the estimate of a gentle- 40
man who is a political economist end a free trader, but
who is the most sagacious writer and the moat sensible invest- V>
tigatm of all subjects of finance in the ranks of our oppo
nests. I mean lir. ll'Callonh. Mr. M'Culloch, though si
opposed to a sinking Cued because he thinks it c told not be 131
maintained, says, in his work on taxation. that no doubt the m
euemqweneee of a slaking fond of 6.000,0001. would be of
vast importance, and that it is highly probable the rate of
government securities in such a cue would in a vary gnus ro
timer of exceed even two per cent. Now I want you to IN
ousidar the effect upon your property and industry in sack a;
a state of affairs. It that were the cam the surplus capital 17s
of this country, the accumulations which have been devoted 11...
heretofore by the English people to foreign mines ir
and foreign loans, and British railways. all those so
accumulations would find their way to the en- is
richnient and cultivation of the Nil. Now, I will to
take a case to show you what must be the Immediate and 14
prudes' effect en the land of England if you bad this fund 11
established. We had some allusion made to mortgages by a it
gentleman who spoke. It le didask m estimate the meet- Ls
gages of this country, bat I have arrived at t's conclusion r,
that they probably amount to 400,003,0001 Toe interest on II
that is 16,000,0001. Under the new plan that int, rest would Mbe reduced, and by that means every acre in the country I;
would be drained, and tenants would be assisted in train le
application they made for improved cultivation. It is im-
possible to conic mplate @myth ing that would have a more direct IS
tendency to benefit agriculture, to make farmers prosperous, 20
and to place tbe Isr.d.cl proprietors in a safe position. We may rsl
raise that sinking fund by a duty on foreign imports, and, in si
my opinion, a duty on foreign imports is a law that not only 8
pageibly may be mud, but that probably will be posed in to
the parliament that now exists. (Applause.) If it be Bt.
passed, let it be combined with a measure which shall reno-
vate and incr. use the fortunes o. the great agricultural in- n
tenet; but, at all events., whether passed or not, we h"pe ty
to obtain for these measures a favourable, if not a succeslul, Iy
Issuing. in parliament, because they are founded on justice IS
and prusciplts cf high policy. The hon, gentleman con- 121
eluded by moving that "in the opinion of the meeting par- It
liameatary measure. were required which would ensure that so
real property should bear °sly it, fair and just proportion of sop
the revenue of the country that is locally raised, and as so
should effect, at the same time, a gradual and certain aimi-
nation of the itoptral and g I burthens by the eats- .15
blishment of a sinking fund to be raised by a duty on (oral, n '37
imports."
Mr. GIBBONS seconded the motion, which was adopted, to

Kt-
-Tns last arriv.ds from the South &as announce the death 30
of Mr. Georg- Leake' of Perth, Western Australia, at the lA,
age of 61. This gentleman was one of the Brat settlers on St
the banks of the River Swan, in the year 1820, when he 100
literally pitched his tent on the toil of his newly-adopted !-
country in the primitive patriarchal style, and so roughed 7/,
it until something like a house was erect-d. Mr. Leeks 2i
soon reaped tho reward of his exertionv, he having realised 1
a large tortutte as an agriculturist and store-keeper, and
attained the highest offices under the colonial government
of the district. He wee amt mber of the council and a ma- ;

respect generally entertained towards Mr. Lemke, the go- IS
