The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUT•
ABLE, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent misre•
presentations.

- Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission,
in communicating information, in answer to the numerous
questions put by other Companies, has the effect of annulling
the policy, and forfeiting the premiums—thus rendering it in
general a matter of uncertainty (until the claim comes to be
made) whether the policy be of any value. The London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to
obviate whas they consider injustice to the assured, satisfy
themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before
they enter into the contract of assurance, and frame their po.
licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to
their validity, and thus render them indefeasible and indisput-
able documents of future debt against the Company. The po-
licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain
available future funds, and as unimpeachab'e and negotiable
documents for pecuniary transactions.
ONE-HALF of the PREMIUMS MAY REMAIN UN-
PAID for SEVEN YEARS,
Affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions and Fa-
mily Provisions than any other plan which has been sug-
gested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the
usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period,
when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New
Assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the
sum for which he has paid Premiums.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors and 'Agents,
and Medical Gentlemen are in all cases remunerated fcr their
reports.

ASHFIELD LODGE H ANTS.
, a pleasant Villa Residence, Five
Miles from Southampton, and within One Mile and a Half
of the capital Market Town of Romsey.
TO be SOLD by TENDER, a COMPACT
RETREAT, known as ASHFIELD LODGE, con-
sisting of a recently-built Villa Residence, comprising two
Parlours, Kitchen, Pantries, and four Bed-Rooms, and may be
enlarged at a trifling expense. It is stuccoed in imitation of
freestone, with a handsome Portico; seated on a gentle
eminence with delightfully-disposed Pleastire Garden, in
which are two Fish Ponds, stocked.with abundance of Fish,
supplied from an inexhaustible source ; a productive Kitchen-
Garden, with extensive Walls; Stables, Coach-house, and a
neat entrance Lodge ; the whole about one acre and a'half. It
is protected on the North by a wall 300 feet in length, and a
never-failing Rivulet of pure Water forms its Southern boun-
dary; altogether possessing an unusual degree of retirement.
From the warmth of the situation very choice fruit is produced
at an unusually early period of the season.; In short, this
LITTLE PARADISE must be seen in order to form a due
appreciation of its beauty and value. This sequestered spot is
surrounded by the Estate of VI-ICOUNT PALMERSTON;
it adjoins one of his largest and choicest Preserves, and the
proprietor has the right of killing the game, which may be
found on the estate in abundance. To any person of studious
habits its retired situation and tranquillity render it peculiarly
inviting. Professional or commercial gentlemen desirous of a
country residence, will find this highly deserving attention.
The property is leasehold for 1,000 years, 830 of which are un-
expired; it gives a Vote for South Hants; and it may be ob-
served, that it is the only spot within three miles of Romsey, on
the road leading from thence to Southampton, and within a mile
on each side of the road, that can now be purchased, all the
other land within the above distance being in the hands of two
or three wealthy individuals.

Deaf persons, and those who are slightly dull
.f hearing, and find a difficulty to catch the sound of a distant low
speaker at a public assembly, will find a most astonishing advantage
from the use of the Messrs. S. and B. So!onions' newly-invented
invisible operative Voice Conductor, which, whin fitted into the
cavity of the car is so small, not the least perceptible, nor more un-

individuali, in a great number of instances, can hear most dis-
tinctly without them. It will therefore be seen that persons do
not incur any constant habit of being compelled at all times to

having been altogether relieved from deafness, they have become in

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1841.

AT a •PUBLIC MEETING of the IN-
HABITANTS of the BOROUGH of SALFORD,
convened by the Poroughreeve and Constables, in compliance
with a very numerously and respectably signed requisition,
and held in the Town Hall, Salford, on Franav, the 21st of
May, 1841.
GEORGE HUTCHINSON HALL, Esq., Boroughreeve,
in the Chair.
The following resolutions were passed unanimously :
Moved by Mr. HOLLAND HOOKE and seconded by Mr. Ro-
, ,

BERT GARDNER :
That this meeting views with the deepest apprehension an'
alarm the intense misery and suffering of the labouring popula
tion, consequent on the continued and unparalleled prostratioi
of the trade of this district; and, therefore, calls upn the Le•
gislature to adopt such measures as will afford prompt and ade.
quate relief.
Moved by Sir THOMAS POTTER, and seconded by MT. THOMAS
BAYLEY. jun ;
That this meeting attributes the existing commercial embar-
rassment and distress chiefly to the operation of those unwise
and unjust laws, which deny the right of the people to ex-
change produce of their labour for the necessaries of life pro-
duced in other countries, and which sanction the iniquitous
monopolies in corn and other food.
Moved by Mr. ROBERT CHADWICK, and seconded by Mr.
WILLIAM HARVEY :
That this meeting rejoices that the attention of her Ma-
jesty's Government has at length been directed to the amelio-
ration of the commercial restrictions, which are alike entailing
ruin on the trading community. and causing destitution to the
most grievous extent to the working classes.
Moved by Mr. WILLIAM Locxxre, and seconded by Mr.
WILLIAM MORRIS:—
That the following Petition to the House of Commons be
adopted, and signed by the Boroughreeve and Constables, and
by the Inhabitants generally, and forwarded to Joseph Brother-
ton, Esq., M. P., for presentation.
To the Honourable the COMMONS of GREAT BRITAIN
and IRELAND, in Parliament assembled.
The Humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Borough of
Salford, in Public Meeting assembled,
Sheweth,—That viewing with the deepest apprehension and
alarm the intense misery and suffering of the labouring popu-
lation, consequent on the continued and unparalleled prostra-
tion of the trade of this district, your petitioners earnestly
call upon your Honourable House to adopt such measures as
will afford prompt and adequate relief.
That your petitioners attribute the existing commercial em-
barras=ent and distress chiefly to the operation of those
unvvise and unjust laws, which deny the right of the people to
exchange the produce of their labour for the productions of
other countries, and which sanction the iniquitous monopolies
in corn and other food.
That your petitioners rejoice that the attention of her Ma-
jesty's Government has been directed to the modification of our
restrictive laws, and that it desires to render our Customs'
duties subservient to the revenue of the country, whereby our
commerce will be extended, and our industrious and produc-
tive classes supplied with every necessary of life.
Your petitioners, therefore, most humbly pray, that measures,
thus leading to the removal of the great evils under which this
community is so deeply suffering, may not be obstructed; and
that your Honourable House will not pause in the career of
amelioration in our commercial relations, until all protective
duties and all monopolies, especially those in corn and other
food, are abolished. And they will ever pray, &a.
Moved by Mr. JAMES CHARLTON, and seconded by Mr.
JAMES DILWORTH
That the following Memorial to her Most Gracious Majesty
the Queen be adopted, and signed by the Chairman of this
meeting I—
TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
The Humble Memorial of the Inhabitants of the Borough of
Salford.
Sheweth.— That the industrious classes of this town and neigh-
bourhood have endured the most acute distress and deprivations
for a period of nearly four years, and that, from the continued
and unparalleled prostration of the trade of this district, their
sufferings are daily augmenting.
That the state of this community consequently causes your
Majesty's memorialists the deepest apprehension and alarm.
That your Majesty's memorialists humbly believe that the
existing commercial embarrassment and distress arise chiefly
from the operation of those unequal and impolitic laws, which
prevent the people of this country from exchanging the produce
of their labour for the productions of other countries, and more
particularly from the unjust and cruel monopolies in corn and
other provisions.
Your memorialists, therefore, humbly, but most earnestly,
pray, that your Majesty will interpose the weight of your
Royal authority and prerogative, in calling the immediate
attention of Parliament to remedy the grievous evils under
which so great a portion of your Majesty's loyal and de-
voted subjects are now suffering.
Moved by Mr. ALEXANDER JACOB, and seconded by Mr.
R. P. LIVINGSTON :
That the proceedings of this meeting be advertised in ail the
Manchester, and in the London Sun and Morning Chronicle,
Newspapers; and also in the Anti-Corn-law Circular.
G. H. , Chairman.
The Boroughreeve having vacated the c H
hALLair, Mr. Tysoe, the
senior Constable, was called thereto, when it was
Moved by Mr. S. P. ROBINSON, and seconded by Mr. WIL-
LIAM JENKINSON :
That the best thanks are due to the Boroughreeve for his
excellent conduct as Chairman of this meeting, and to the au
thorities fur calling the same.

ANTI-FREE TRADE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—How unfortunate it is for the people of England
Id they have so few practical men in the House of
Commons. The heads of most of its gifted Members
appear to be stuffed with theoretical notions, whilst their
eyes and cars are shut against the practical effects of
those theories. That Lord John Russell, or any other
mere theorist, should assert that the silk and many other
trades had thriven by the competition with the French
manufacturer is most astounding. Would that every.
Member of the British Parliament were reduced to cir-
cumstances so as to feel the cursed effects of foreign
competition, as do millions of their fellow-countrymen
connected with manufacture, whether of silk-glove, lace,
or any other. " Manufacturers," as you truly observed
in The Sun the other evening, " have racked invention
and tried new schemes to produce cheaper commodities,"
They have succeeded, but at what sacrifice ! go through
the streets and lanes of every manufacturing district in
the kingdom, and there your eyes and your ears will re-
ceive the woful answer—lncrease of labour at a lower
rate of wages, almost to starvation as regards the opera-
tives ; and as it regards the employers, a heavy stock on
hand, a choked market, and if a sale is made, it must be
a forced sale, with little profit, or rather no profit at
all, if not at a considerable loss. So much for the
thriving state of our manufactures from foreign com-
petition. But is not the reverse the fact, starving
masses employed and unemployed ; ruined capitalists,
unable any longer to employ at the lowest rate those
that were dependent on them ; and how can it be
otherwise whilst the accursed Huskissonian system is
continued to the encouragement of every description of
foreign manufacture, in opposition to our own increasing
population, who are perishing for lack of means of ob-
taining their daily bread.
It is a truism, however it may be denied, by many, that
this country can never prosper under the system of free
trade in manufacture, seeing our population can produce
more of every description of manufactures than can pos-
sibly be consumed by the inhabitants of this and many
other countries, even if every man, woman, and child
were gorgeously apparelled ; there can, therefore, be no
room'for the manufactures of other countries, and our
own must be protected to the exclusion of all others. To
buyers and sellers, indeed, it is no matter whether
the article they deal in be British or foreign,
but to our millions of operatives it makes all the differ-
once ; to the unemployed, starvation ; to the employed,
a grinding down to starvation prices. Now these results
could not possibly follow, if the statements made re-
specting the working of the free trade system were cor-
rect ; it follows then, that the statements are false ; hence
the redundancy of every description of manufacture,
low wages, and thousands unemployed.
When we speak of manufacture we naturally confine
our ideas to articles of clothing, but the term is applica-
ble to many articles of food. Now if we must have free-
trade, let us have it in that which is more necessary ; and
it needs no argument to prove that food is more neces-
sary than clothing, seeing a man could live much longer
without the latter, than he could without the former.
Let us, then, have free trade in food, whether manufac-
tured or not; and when the people of England can wear
and tear more of clothing than their own population can
produce, let us have free trade in silks, gloves, shoes,
lace, &c., but surely not while millions are unemployed
and starving.
Being a constant reader of The Sun, I am aware that
the above statements are not in exact accordance with
the sentiments maintained by you ; yet, from your gene-
ral 'urbanity, and readiness to insert many things that
others may deem for the public good, I have ventured to
solicit room for the insertion of this letter„, leaving you
to make such observations as you may tlaink proper.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
A FRIEND OF FREE TRADE AS IT
SHOULD BE.

[We give the above, in order to show the League and
its Lecturers what sort of prejudices they have got to
encounter. The writer does not distinguish between the
consequences of Mr. Huskisson's improvements, and the
consequences of the Corn-laws. The latter, by depriv-

kg our people of food in exchange for their markufac-
kres, are the causes of their want of employment.—

Yours respectfully,
A CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAN.
Birmingham, May 18, 1841.

some of the very men whom they had chosen to speak
out the grievances of the nation, every session displays
abundant proof. We could not therefore feel surprise, if
they had become careless, and were to stay for some fu-
ture exigency all active interference with the vessel of
the State.
We could not blame them for avoiding insincerity
and deceit, if the energy they control were not all-im-
portant to the well-being of the country.
They are surrounded with difficulties—on the one
hand the necessities of party suborn, unavoidably, it
would appear, the faithfulness of their friends ; and, on
the other, the temperature of Parliament induces their
own adherents to an abandonment of their principles,
and to a recanting of their faith. Evils such as these
could not fail to render men who were either irre-
solute or weak, hopeless and desponding.
But it is not discouragement alone that the Radicals
have met with in the Whigs--they have been calumni-
ated and insulted by the leaders of that party ; and in
just resentment may have terminated their rule long
since. They preferred, however, to disregard all un-
merited opprobrium, and to remain the prop of a feeble
Administration in hope of some resulting good.
At this time the same moderation marks the Radical
party. We feel no alarm at the step they may take.
We have no fear of their disgust with their friends' de-
ceit and ingratitude being converted into retaliation ;
nor have we any such trust in their credulity as to ima-
gine their being entrapped in the springs devised against
them by the Tories. As it is not on the goodwill of the
Whigs that their usefulness hangs, neither is it at their
ill-usage that they may withdraw into inactivity.
A higher duty than useless support of party calls into
the action the men who have been, and still are, the
pioneers of modern civilization—who have exalted the
moral tone of England—who have striven with supersti-
tion, with anti-social dominancy, with the prejudice of
caste, with political degeneracy and error, unceasingly,
and with success. The opinions of such men are
to meet posterity in friendship ; their principles
evolve the vigour of a gigantic State. The Radicals
found the pride of the Church was fast expell-
ing her votaries ; the indolence of the Church root-
ing out, all education ; the craving, sensual appetite of
the Church gnawing in to the vitals, and wasting away
the nation. They threatened the mitred aristocracy, and
tithes were immediately ejected, and singular other re-
medies prescribed by them, with thanks for the clear
light that had been so powerfully cast upon them.
It is to the Radicals we owe the recent removal of an-
cient political and social restraints. 'From the period of
the Corresponding Society, when they were diljoined—
when the materials of that excellence were apprehended,
but un-systematised ; up to the present that they arc
compact, and their notions- settled into principles—they
have been ever advancing the prosperity and the happi-
ness and the glory of the nation.
The Radical constituency of England have then a duty
too high to perform, due to their own honour, due to pos-
terity and mankind, to suffer the ingratitude of their friends
to weary or turn them. One retrograde movement (and
to pause is to go back), would swell the evil of the
enemies of liberalism—would diminish the good they
have effected—would again call into fierce life the nearly
strangled demon of Toryism, of pride and" monopoly ;
it would reanimate the ardour of the youth of the na-
tion. Presumption precedes fraud, ana rashness follows
success—that they should hold the vantage ground,
what scenes may we not behold the Tories perpetrate.
Another Scarlett may be there to crush the energies and
stifle the voice of the people. Then we may know the
miserable Chartist—houseless, amidst wealth ; starving,
amidst plenty ; maddening under privation • unsympa-
thised with, persecuted, an hunted like a brute of the
field. The Radicals owe too much to humanity to tarry in
their course. To be cajoled, to be flirted out of
their propriety by the canting wiles of the Tories,
would be neither wise nor expedient ; for whom could
they benefit, what class improve, what condition of the
people ameliorate, what evils lessen, in granting their
favour to a party whose principles oppose to repugnancy.
To allow the temper to betray the reason, and abrogate
the duties that arc imposed upon them, to tarnish their
past conduct, and to frustrate the rising designs of the
genius of the nation, would not be held by posterity an
indiscretion of the Radicals, but a crime.
We are, however, free from all fear of the course of
conduct to be pursued by the Radicals. They will con-
tinue to perpetuate the advances of civilization, the
prosperity of the nation, and the liberties of the people.
They will act together, and firmly--with prudence and
with thought, neither yielding to anger, nor fatigued
with deception.

MEMOIR OF MDLLE. RACHEL.

Mdlle. Eliza Rachel Felix was born at Muni, in the
canton of Aran, in Switzerland, March 2244820. Her
father, M. Felix, was a native of Metz. Her'inether's
Maiden name was Ezther Hava. Her father, at the time
of her birth was, like n3ost French Jews, a hawker ;' he
travelled from fair to fur with his numerous family. A
person who saw them at Beauciire, in 1829, relates that
Ilidlle. Rachel was then a very feehie child; but that her..
deportment was not deficient in either grace.er
There was already something in her announcing the
germs of her splendid talents, and the brighness of her
eyes and the ardency of their expression gave promise,
more especially, of future distinction. In .1831, when
when at the age of ten years, she was sent by her father
to take lessons of one M. Choron, a teael-er of singing.
Being desirous of devoting herself exelm-ively to the
tragic drama, she bade adieu to her Telloiv-pupils at
Choron's at the end of ten months, and-s
-proceeded to
join a class for the practice of declamation, under the pro-
fessorship of aM. St. Aulaire. Like many. other per-
sons of eminent talents, she was destined to be mistaken
by her early preceptors. M. St. Aulaire was entirely
deceived with respect to her. He took, indeed, very
little notice of her, and at length, without giving him 4
self any real trouble to ascertain whether she had any
capacity for the stage, he neglected her altogether, al-
lowing her merely to be present at the lessons zeceived
by the other scholars.
At length, by accident, perhaps, he gave her some
minor parts, which she played with success, first on the
little stage of the Prado, which had been granted to him
for the use of his scholars, and afterwards at ?he Salle
Moliere. Mdlle. Rachel was then 14 yeats of age. In
the part of Esther she succeeded in gainieg considerable
applause, and began to reveal the resourceswhicll- she
afterwards developed. She already possessed the power
of extending, as it were, her stature, and of chaining the
attention of the spectator with an irresistible force re-
sembling fascination. At length, on the 27th October,
1836, Mdlle. Rachel was admitted to attend the lectures
at the Conservatoire, and was there placed in the class
of dramatic studies, directed alternately by .Michelot,
Samson, and Provost. She continued her studies till
January 24, 1837, when she quitted the institution 'volun-
tarily, and entered into an engagement with the Gym-
nase Dramatique, where she made her debut April 24,
1837, in a drame-vaudeville, entitled La .Vendeenne.
We have now to recount an act of generosity which is
almost without example in the annals of the theatre. M.
Poirson, the manager of the Gymnase, had a right to the
services of Mdlle. Rachel at a very moderate salary, alid
could have commanded them for a very considerable
time, but the conscience of this excellent man refused to
allow him to take advantage of his position.
One day when Mdlle. Rachel arrived at the theatre
enveloped in her humble red tartan for the rehearsal of..
a new part, Poirson sent for her to his room : " My
dear child," said he, "I am proud of having made you
known, at a moment when everybody deserted you. I
have no doubt that my theatre would be indebted to you
for a series of brilliant nights, but I cannot prevail upon
myself to keep down, for the sake of my pecuniary in-
terest, your soaring flight, to refuse you the air which
your genius requires in order to expand its wings. You
are a statute too grand and too beautiful for such a
pedestal. Rachel, tragedy is dead at the Theatre 't.an.
cais=so and recal Lazarus to life." •
" What do you say, sir ? Do you dismiss me ?" said
with tears in her eyes the poor girl, who was new begin-
ning for the first time in her life to taste, if not the luxu-
ries of fortune, at least the happiness of ease—" but what
will become of me ?"
" I will place you in the position which you are born
to fill. You belong to me for three years longer. I dis-
solve this engagement, which is solely to • My advantage.
You are free, but I shall continue to pay your salary till
the day of your debut at the Theatre Francais. With re-
spect to your appearance on the stage, do sot trouble
yourself about it—confide in me."
The celebrated Samson of the Theatre Francais under-
took the finishing of her dramatic education, and it was
with the most laudable zeal that he superintended her
studies and practice. After some months of persevering
preparation and of valuable instruction, the bills of the
Theatre Francais announced the debut of Mdlle. Rache
Felix in the character of Camille, in " Les Horaces."
It was on, Tuesday, June 12, 1838.
The very first entry of the debutante caused
astonishment. Her gait was not the movement, more
stiff than noble, consecrated by stage tradition. Her
recitation was not the usual diction in musical
notes. Her verses were not scan*, so to say, by
slices, nor delivered with pauses at--every rhyme.
The public found themselves put out Ran the very
commencement, and began to seek a soliititakof the riddle.
Individuals were seen looking •at one another with
astonishment and curiosity ; none dared 'to speak nor to
interrupt by applause, and in a short time they were, all
eyes and ears for what was passing on the stage ; for, In
the acting of Mille. Rachel everything had its signifi-
cance ; her eyes, her month, her arms, her feet, the mo-
tion of her head, all had their proper expression, which
no one wished to lose. At the end of the third act the
audience began to discuss with astonishment the unfore-
seen revolution which was now to take, place in the
theatre. The fourth act proved a briliiane-triumph fbr
the youthful tragedian.
But we need not here go through the series of her
dramatic triumphs ; suffice it to say, that in every new
character in which she appeared she at once astotinded
and delighted the public. Mdlle. Rachel iS said to be si
person not of merely histrionic talent, or of tact for thea-
trical declamation, but of an elevated, ardent, susceptible
(though externally cold), and richly-endowed nature.
The following are a few amongst the anecdotes respect-.
ing her which have of late years abounded in'the Panstate
journals :

THE THREE MONOPOLIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
greatly approve the advice contained in your
paper of the 17th instant, to the landlords, from a Mem-
ber of the Anti-Corn-law League, to take the manage-
ment of their estates into their own hands, and get rid of
their agents, stewards, commissioners, &c. If they were
to do this they would find they could live without rob-
bing the poor through the instrumentality of the Corn-
laws. I believe some of the aristocracy are more plun-
dered by their agents than they gain by robbing the com-
munity and oppressing their tenants.
At no time did Ministers ever deserve the support of
thepublic more than they do at present. Should they be
defeated on the sugar question, I hope they will permit
the Tories to expose themselves on the timber question,
which was a favourite measure with Sir Robert Peel
when he was in office, and not lost to all sense of de-
cency. The great features in the proposed alteration of
the timber laws are to give the country a better and a
cheaper article, and to remove the anomaly of taxing
the raw material more heavily than the manufactured
article, timber from America paying 100 per cent. more
than deals or planks cut out of it ; and European timber
40 per cent. more • than European deals. Sympathy for
our own labourers, I should have thought, would have
induced the Tories to have gone with Ministers on this
subject ; but their conduct in regard to the sugar duties,
satisfies me that any proposition to benefit the working
classes will be opposed by the Church and State men, as
they impudently call themselves.
I am, Sir, your very obedient servant,

VICTORIA PARA..
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As an inhabitant of the borough of the
Tower Hamlets, I feel grateful to the Govern.
ment for their promptitude in affording to the
residents of the east, a place where they may
may procure that essential of life, pure air. It
is, doubtless, the object of the promoters of the
Bill to render the Royal Victoria Park as useful
and accessible to all as pbssible, and worthy the
name it is intended to bear; permit me to sug-
gest that an opening be made leading to the east-
ern end of Bonner's-field, of about 130 feet wide,
commencing opposite Crown-row, in the Mile-
end-road, crossing somewhere about the end of
Devonshire-street. If this road were planted with
trees, it would form a noble avenue, and the in-
habitants of Mile-end and Stepney would be
benefited at a very trifling expense.
Sixteen four-roomed houses, of the value, per-
haps, of 1001. each, situated in Green-street,
would he all the houses that would be required
to be taken down, the whole being open garden
ground and fields.
Yours, most obediently,

I THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION
PROMOTES POPERY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—lt requires little sagacity to discover the
truth of the above assertion. All over the coun-
try the Protestant Associations are advancing
what they profess to oppose. Show me a place
wherein they have lieen most active of late, and
I will show you an increase of Roman Catholics.
Look in this neighbourhood. In a circle includ-
ing Walsall, West Bromwich, &c., possessing,
but a few years ago, only one Catholic chapel,
we have had of late the Evangelists carrying on
a bitter crusade against the Papists, and already
there are five Catholic chapels in the circle
alluded to ! Wherever the Pope has an especial
wish for an augmentation of his flock, he should
get up Protestant Association meetings. These
drive the
.people to the chapels to ascertain what
it is that is represented as so hideous.
I remember a Protestant Association meeting
at our Birmingham Town-hall. There was no
admission but For persons of the right sort. A
crowd stood outside, wondering what prOgress
of principle, and what sort of -discussion, could
be effected amongst people all of one mind. A
poor man talked to the crowd. He said,
" There must be unfair play here, and that is
what an Englishman does not like." The crowd
cheered him, and he went on. "r hope I am
a good Protestant, though I don't pretend to be
better than other people.—(Cheers. Then
you are no.cant.') But if I .wished to convert
a Catholic to my opinion, would I fill my house
with Protestants, lock the door, and abuse my
Catholic neighbour? No, indeed; that would_
be foolish as well as malicious.—(Cheers.) 1
would talk to him kindly, and endeavour to
show him his error, and at any rate, if I proved
myself a good Christian, speech and
conduct, I should be doing best
tt
convert him. But here they call a b
great
meeting to expose the errors of Popery,
and all that are admitted are already
convinced of those errors, so that not
one convert is made. On the contrary, those
who are abused in their absence cling -all the
closer to their prejudices, and believe they are
persecuted for conscience sake.—(Cheers.) Why
do not these active spirits, most of them Irish by
the bye, move about in Ireland, endeavouring to
win the people to the truth ?—(' Aye, why
don't they?') Why, in my opinion, it is be- I
cause they have a more profitable game in this
country. They find they can frighten the chil-
dren, and the old women of both sexes—

On one occasion whilst dininc, at the house of a distin,
guished patroness of letters, and on its being observed
that few fortunes are larger than those df theatrical fa-
vourites of the public, she said quietly---" As for me, .1
do not want money ; I desire but two things, glory and
friends." Mad. de —, who present at. this party, so-
licited Mdle. Rachel so urgently to hondur one of her
soirees with her presence, that the young actress could
not resist the flattering earnestness of the invitation.
The evening arrived, and M. de Chateaubriand made
his appearance in the salon. .
After having heard Mdlle. Rachel, he said to her, with
the solemn melancholy peculiar to him—" What a pity,
Mademoiselle, that one can only see 'such thing rise at
the moment when one is about to die." " Monsieur,"
replied Mdlle. Rachel, with a sweet ae.gt of affection,
" there are men who never die."
On one occasion, after a performance, some passages
were pointed out to her which she had pronounced less
happily than the rest. She was advised to repeat them.
on her return to her lodgings. " Evening studies are
the best," some one said to her. " With me," she
replied, " nothing can compensate for my morning
studies ;" and on saying this she held out her hand
to her
preceptor, M. Samson. with whom she passed
her mornings in studying. Notwithstanding this affees
tionatndeclaration, we may observe that it is whilst in
bed, mentally and by reflection only, tnat Mdlle. Rachel
prepares her:-:elf for those splendid and,lowerful effects
which agitate her audience and force themloenthusiastic
applause. Some person, hoping to flatter her, observed
that the actors who played with her placed her talents
in relief, whilst she on the other hand rendered their de-.
facts more prominent. "I am sorry for it," she replied ;
" when I am on the boards or the Theatre Francais I
could wish that only one thing were evident—viz., the
kindness which every one has shown me."
She appreciates very properly the objection of want
of sentiment which has been made to her acting. "
seek," she says, " but when I wish to reach the accen-
tuation which corresponds to the sentiment as I conceive
it, my voice is false." In speaking thus she is musically
correct. Talma had the same defect.
Mdlle. Rachel is an affectionate daughter and a gene-
rous sister ; she has shared her fortune with her whole
! family. She interests herself with a touching solicitude
in the education of her brother and her sisters. Accord-
ing to some French accounts, her home is a nursery
ground of tragic actors. Her brother, it is said, is on
the point of realising the hope of
.succeeding on the
stage, which he conceived on witnessitlgstke brilliant sue-.
cess of his sister. She is now the soul of the Theatre Fran
cais—she is the main spring which moves this rusty ma.
chine. She has succeeded in banishing the wrinkles which -
defaced the brow ofits olden tragedy, which had previously
lost all its freshness and vigour; her breath has restored
a vital colour to its cheeks—its eyes, toot have began to
beam with a youthful ardour—its heart to beat with the
violence of its brightest day. In short,. Mdlle. Rattle/.
hade it as noble, grand, and beautiful, as Corneille and
Racine first conceived it in the realm of their poetical
imagination.

A COURAGEOUS WOMAN.— Sch weighause
Forest, near Ilatisben, has, for a considerable time past, hien
infested by a band of robbers, headed by a daring fellow,
named Leopold Ilausel, a native of Steimberg, and notwith-
standing the most active researches on the part of the Bavarian
authorities, he and his followers always escape. The reason
is, that many of the inhabitants of the surrounding country,
from fear or participation, favour him, and render every pur-
suit of the police abortive. On Sunday, the 2d instant,
during the time of Divine service, two of his followers came
to the solitary farm of Stegvreis, in the district of th,t
Itegenstauf. All the family were absent, except the farmer's
daughter. The robbers knocked at the door and demand/
victuals, and leave to rest themselves within. Their suspr
cious appearance and behaviour made her cautious, aml in-
stead of opening the door she handed out a good large
luncheon through the window. This' did not satisfy her
visitors; they called for more, and insisted on being admitted.
As the woman firmly refused to open the ctoor, they threatened.
to break in, and to put her instantly to death. The brave 'girl
was not dismayed, but taking an old musket which was at band,
she pointed it at ore of the robbers, who had already smashed
the window. The gun, however, was not biaded, and the
robber did not move from the window; then, gathering up her
strength, site made a run at his head in the manner of a bayonets
charge. The muzzle of the musket struck him with great
force on the temple, and he fell bleeding and apparently lifeless
to the groun,l. The other ruffian did not think it advisable
to continue the contest with such an Amazon, and carried off
his wounded companion to the wood: Ratieben Journal.

STEN ING EDITION

FLOGGING THROUGH THE
FLEET.

An unfortunate creature, destined by merciless judges
to undergo this butchery, has nothing on but his trou-
sers, and a blanket thrown over his shoulders, which is
removed and replaced at every ship alongside of which
punishment takes place. The poor fellow has, perhaps,
600 lashes to receive, which is equal to 5,400 stripes ;
and, supposing there are twenty commissioned ships in
port, he receives thirty lashes at every ship. The victim
is placed in the barge, which is a large boat, (towed by
another), with an officer, a file of marines, a surgeon, a
master-at-arms, and a drummer, in the bow, beating
," The rogue's march ;" and a boat, with an officer and
file of marines, attends from every commissioned ship
under the jurisdiction of the Admiral of the port. In
this barge are erected triangles, to which the wretched
mortal is tied during the horrid infliction of flagellation
by two boatswains' mates from every ship, till the whole
unishment, or human mangling, is concluded,—the
hands being all turned up to witness it. The shrieks of
the suffereryemercy, as the flesh is torn from his back
by the fell-cat, are unheeded by his merciless tormentors,
nor is it till nearly dead that the lacerated, broken-
hearted, and once brave seaman, is released from torture
and sent to the hospital. Should he recover, he is never
the same man again ; but is possessed with hatred to his
Officers, disrespect to his country . (which . tolerate
cruelty), and detestation to the service to which he bit
longs. Such is a true picture of naval punishment during
the late war ; and the army endeavoured to keep pace
with it, particularly abroad, where it has been no uncom-
mon thing to have seven pair of triangles going at the
same time, the punishment regulated by tap of the drum.
Many now living, both officers and men, know this to be
no fictitious tale, but one that would bear a still higher
colouring ; and those who commanded and witnessed
such barbarity. must ask themselves a few queitions rela-
tive to the-just law that tempers mercy with justice.
Many have already paid that debt to nature that is re-
quired from all. Many still remain, whose duty it is, as
they hope for mercy, to assist in wiping away the stain
from the British Service, that we may not have a repeti-
tion of those scenes which are a disgrace to nature and
humanity, and which the people of the enlightened age
we live in never would again permit to be practised with
impunity. The few are dependent upon the multitude,
not the multitude upon the few ' • and all are the children
of one earthly and one heavenly Parent, to whom all
should bow in humble submission, and endeavour to imi-
tate His blessed attributes of mercy, love, and charity ;
and study so to abound one toward another.—Philanthro-
pist's Magazine.

USURY LAWS.-REVENUE.
TO THE RIGHT HON. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE

EXCHEQUER.

As it is your duty, and must be your anxiety,
to attend usefully to the revenue of this country,
you will feel no offence at a few hints from a
friend, however humble or, common-place.
It will not be denied that the greater the con-
sumption 'of taxed commodities, the greater will
be the amount of revenue, or that the power of
obtaining money at a moderate rate will increase
the circulation, and consequently the consump-
tion of taxable commodities. These premises
being admitted, and in fact they are indsputable,
I would ask what is the cause of the general mass
of the people being so utterly destitute of money
as they now are ? That they are so, and to an
extent never before known, all tradesmen and
professional men can, if they please, testify.
- Who will raise money for trading or other legi-
timate purposes at 40, 50, 60, and upwards per
cent ? None but persons in desperate circum-
stances will do so, and. then only to stop a yap,
as it is familiarly called. That this system is
become universal, every tradesmen (unless he is
himself a usurer, of which there are many), will
admit. Instances of such horrible imposition
could be produced, that it would surprise even
the advocates for what they call free trade in
money, but what I call legalized plunder.
The effect of such a course has been, to lock
up the capital ; those who have money with-
holding it until they can dole it out to their
wretched countrymen at a ruinous rate of inte-
rest, and those who want it only borrowing from
absolute necessity, and from an immediate and
pressing occasion. No man will borrow at the
rates now demanded for the common purposes of
trader or for the common purposes of
Money is in this way taken out of circulation, and
the consequences are, that trade is diminished,
the consumption of the necessaries as well as
of the luxuries of life is enormously decreased,
and the revenue, of course, suffers in a propor-
tionate degree. Do not believe what I say,
but inquire and investigate, not among what
is called the monied interest—such as bankers,
stock-jobbers, bill-brokers, or even pawnbrokers,
who are making their fortunes out of this system
of legalised extortion—but among the general
class of tradesmen, and respectable professional
men.. _ _ _

Pawnbrokers were allowed by law 201. per
cent. upon their loans in that character, but find-
ing that tkey'can get three times the amount by
the new System, they make a secondary matter
of their paivnbroking business or give it up al-
together, and become solely bill discounters.
Now, Sir, a repeal of the " repeal law" will
remedy this evil, increase the circulation of
money, and the revenue will be benefited, pro-
bably to the full extent you require. M.
