GrILDHALL.—JosEra ADY sosrw.—During the pro-
gress of the business this morning, Sir Peter Laurie er-
mined a wish that the prise would take notice of the above
usdividual having struck. out a new plan of proceeding. This
sobatioss character was a most indefatigable person, and
WM/ is India and to every part of Europe on the subject of
laritag them know of something to their advantage, upon the
reeds* it Ms. He (Sir Peter Laurie) had an immense
number of letters on the subject, bat the new plan Mr. Ady
had stria out had caused him to have a fresh supply. He
sew seat his letters without paying the postage, and in his
circular states that " on the receipt of the before-mentioned
sum, they would hear of something about 1001. and upwards,
long overlooked, which belonged to them." He had
also changed his plan of referring to him (Sir P. Laurie),
and now informed his intended victims that they could
apply to each of the alderman of London, having been a
freeman and housekeeper fifty years. The date of notice
was Oct. 12, 1846, and a potteript followed, which stated,
that it the parties found any difficulty in getting the money,
the Eight Hon. Sir P. Laurie, Deputy Lord Mayor, would
frank them from all expenses, except portaLes, which they
must y both ways. His (Sir P. Laurie's object
pa was, to
guard the public against this new scheme of r. Ady, who,
no doubt, entertained no good feeling towards him, in con-
sequence of his being instrumental (during his mayoralty
in 1835) in having him convicted at the Old Bailey, and
sentenced to be transported for seven years, on the charge
of obtaining 20s. from the Rev. Mr. Tebbutt, but
which sentence was commuted to twelve months' imprison-
ment. Since then he has appeared to carry on a regular
system of (as be thought) annoyance, by continually re-
I !erring to him. He (Sir Peter Laurie) had received three
letters, with the post marks dated about 15th of this month,
from Mr. M'Kenzie, of Abercrombie-place, Edinburgh,
Mr. Arbuthnot, of Aberdeen, and Mr. Henry Hill, of Wol-
verhampton ; and he hoped if publicity was given to these
facts it would, in some degree, confine his operations.

THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT BRITAIN.—The Great
Britain remains in the Name position (due west) she was
in when I last wrote. The landing surveyor from the
Newry Customs has been superintending the landing of her
stores for the last two days; and he has relaxed the rigidity
of the Customs rules at first adopted, much to the comfort
of all on board. The stores are deposited in the watch-house
of the Coast-guard, very near where the vessel lies. On
Thursday a party of gentlemen came from England who are
interested in the concerns of the ship, among whom was
Mr. Patterson, who superintended her building at Bristol.
Mr. Gabriel, R.N., who assisted in bringing off the Gorgon
steam-frigate when aground in 184,5, has also been here for
several days, examining the position of the vessel, and com-
municating with the agents and owners, with the view of
undertaking to float her, which he expresses himself per-
fectly able to do, provided he is supplied with the requisite
materials and bands. He has made drawings and calculi•
tions, from which he feels quite sure of success. Mr. Coppin,
from Deng, who succeeded in raising the engines, &c., of
the Rambler, lost on the Maidens, came here on Thursday,
and had communication with Captain Hosken. All hands
on board now master about 35, but several are about to quit
here to-morrow. Mr. Patterson examined her very minutely,
and expressed his opinion that she had not suffered any
injury at all likely to effect her being got off. Northern

barrassments and much sudering will be caused by the
scarcity and consequent high prices of provisions.
They, therefore, urge upon government the absolute
necessity of opening the porta to the free importation
of food as a measure demanded by the general exi-
gencies of the country, and especially by the state of
famine to which Ireland has been reduced. It is fortunate,
under present circumstances, that the deficiency com-
plained of, so far as it hen reference to the recent corn
harvest, is as to the quantity and not as to the quality
of the grain. The contrast between this and some
former seasons of scarcity is in this respect important.
Hitherto we have very frequently had tolerably
abundant harvests, but of so low a quality that large
foreign importations became absolutely necessary at
the very time that prices were down in the English
markets in consequence of the inferior condition of oar
grain. This was the severest test by which the
sliding-scale could have been tried, for the reduced
value of the home produce, by bringing down
the averages, forced the ditties on foreign
grain to the highest point, while the country
was suffering from a scarcity of food. This year
the harvest has been short in yield, but the qua-
lity and condition of the grain is good, so that if
prices are higher averages are down, and the foreign
duty has fallen to fis.per quarter. This is low, but the
question is whether during the pressure now existing
recourse might not be had to free importation without
injury to the farmer, and with advantage to the con-
earner. The government will have to determine this,
and to decide upon the question before many days
have passed.
