WILKINSON'S ANTI - CORROSION
PAINT.
REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to
51. WATLING-STREET, near Queen-street, Cheapside.
O,J. R. 'WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to
: Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbo wish to paint their
uses of Roman cement, stucco, or brick walls, as a preven-
!i/e to damp or sea spray in exposed situations ; it will not
blister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent
elating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences,
fans,
or any out-buildings, it will last four times as long as
'oltinon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer
can lay it on. To ship-owners for their decks, bottoms of ves-
sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe-
rior to any paint'in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen
Years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South-
wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving
their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no
•ther colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal
allowance to the trade.

SOCIALISM
IN BIRMINGHAM.
The Public is reTectfully CAUTIONED against the
statement intended to be advertised in the London Papers, that
at the end of the discussion between Mr. Briudley and Mr. L.
Jones, on the sth, 6th, and 7th instant, a Resolution in favour
of Socialism was earned by a large majority.
The fact is, that the " Resolution " was merely read in the
midst of the most vociferous cheers for Mr. lirindley from
three-fourths of the entire audience. It was, therefore, im-
possible that such a resolution could be passed.
Though the name of Mr. Murphy may appear at the foot of
the advertisemint as " Chairman " of the meeting, he had no
authority to affix it, for he was only Moderator of the discus-
sion. So much for those honourable principles, and the unfair
means used for their promotion.

REGISTER.
TO RAILWAY DIRECTORS.
The PROPRIETORS of the PATENT for regulating
the TRANSIT of RAILWAY TRAINS are ready to grant
LICENCES for its use to Railway Companies. By this
Register the times of arrival and departure of Trains at and
from Stations are stamped and printed on the Train on their
arrival and departure at etch successive Station. Quick
Trains, without stopping at Stations, take up the impression of
the time of departure of a previous Train, which is rendered
visible to the l;onductors of a Train, and enables them with
greater certainty to regulate their speed, and thus obviate the
chance of collision.

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.

Established 1834.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of Mrty,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those policies entitled to partici. ation.
Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will
entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months
earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.

pINKUS' NEW SYSTEM of RAILWAY
TRACTION.

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service.

VEAVER.'S INFALLIBLE EMI3ROC A-
TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &e., &e.

Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed
by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning
Chronicle":—

St R.- is I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any-
thing that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send
you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a
violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I
have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give
it publicity in your widely-circulated paper.
I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night,
the 31st of May last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the
following► Wednesday, when I war recommended to apply to a
Mr. Feaver. woollen warehouseman, Friday-street, Ch eapside, for
a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by
his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At
that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply
anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation,
for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to
my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain
ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week
the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this
remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1
had in former attacks.

I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the
thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for
which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they
may know where to obtain the same relief.
Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen
him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he
had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had
never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved
at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through
you to my fellow-sufferers.
It is much to be regretted that Mr. Fearer does not imme-
diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large
degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con-

TO RAILWAY COMPANIES.
The PROPRIETORS of the PATENTS of the NEW
SYSTEM constituting the differential RAILWAY worked by
Stationary Motive Power as a substitute for expensive Steam
Locomotive, or Rope Traction, are ready to enter into con-
tracts for the application of the New System on lines of Rail-
way formed, or to be formed, in England, Scotland, Ireland,
or the Colonies.
'Fhe advantages of this system in the construction of Lines
of Railway, is the ability to work much higher gradients than
is practicable by the Locomotive Steam Engine. A saving in
some instances of more than one-half the costs of construction
is thus obtained. The annual msintenance of the new will be
only about one-third that of the common system, when ap-
plied to Railways already formed—greater protection to life
in preventing the collision of Trains or other accidents apper-
taining to the Steam Locomotive, or the uses of Ropes, is
afforded, and it admits of greater precision in transit than the
common in.2thod.

TO CANAL COMPANIES.
The PROPRIETORS of the PATENTS for the NEW
CANAL POWER are READY TO ENTER INTO CON-
TRACTS for the APPLICATION of the SYSTEM in
ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, IRELAND, or the CO-
LONIES.

Stationary Steam, or Gaso-Pneumatic Power, may be ap-
plied directly to Canal vessels. •
The advantages of the new system are the great economy
over animal traction, and the important consideration of ap-
plying motive power without any action on the water of the
canal. A high degree of speed can thus be obtained to the
extent o: from 10 to 15 miles per hour (as on the sys-
tem) without any injury to embankments.

MRS. DAMER'S DIARY.—Lady MBry Wort-

world any knowledge that could be depended upon, relating to
domestic life in the East. There must be very few persons
who have read this lady's delightful letters, who do not enter-
tain a ;lively impression of her highly interesting revelations.
By one of those singular chances that occasionally occur, we
are likely to be indebted to a descendant of this accomplished
traveller for still more comprehensive information of a similar
nature. The Hon. Mrs. Dawson Damer, during her exten-
sive travels in the Ea,t, vas allowed to penetrate into the most
private domiciles, and treated in a manner as if it was impos-
sible to place in her too much confidence, or to pay her too
much respect, and the result is now about to be communicated
to the public, under the title of " Diary of a Tour in Greece,
Turkey, Egypt, and the Holy Land." We are not surprised
that its announcement should have excited a considerable de-
gree of curiosity, particularly in the upper circles.

—the pillage of the monasteries, certainly—poor men,
slid not write with any intention of producing the total
demoralization that is now unciviliz. ing the country,
which, with fatal fatnitt proudly points to the spread-

fair to their memory to let it be tiodeVstood how much
they have, in Tours at least, had to do with it. Be
it known, then, that all the influence which these
thirty thousand tones have exercised on the public
mind in Tours, has been accomplished in the space of

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Al A.Y 12, 1841.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONlCLE.—Throughout the whole course of the pre-
sent debate, one thing is most remarkable on the part of the
Tories. They have cautiously and studiously abstained from
expressing any opinion as to the line of policy which they
themselves would -pursue if in power. 'They have acted
throughout on the advice given by their great party organ, the
Times, of avoiding discussion on the real merits of the Minis-
terial measure, and treating it exclusively as a party question.
In one form or other the speeches on the Opposition side have
amounted in substance pretty nearly to this—" the measure
may, for aught I know, be a very good measure, but—it is
brought forward by a Whig Government, and therefore, I
shall vote against it." Is this, we ask, conduct worthy of a
great party, who aspire to hold the reigns of Go-
vernment ? Is a deficiency of two millions and upwards in
the revenue a. mere " bagatelle ?" Is the loss of the
market in the-Brazils for four millions worth of British manu-
factures a trifle unworthy of serious attention ? Are the inte-
rests of British commerce—of British industry—of the na-
tional creditor—of the labouring classes and consumers of the
country—matters of such insignificance as not to weigh for a
moment in the scale against the all-absorbing importance of
enabling a set of men called Tories to pocket the salaries of a
set of men called Whigs ? Is it fair, is it honest, when a great
question of policy affecting all the'most important interests of
the country, is brought forward by one of the great parties who
are in a position to carry on the Government of the country,
that the other great party should oppose it without having some
counter measure of its own to propose? Ministers say, we
propose this alteration in the sugar duties, because there
is a sum of 2,400,0001. which must be raised some how or
other, and if we do not raise it in this way, we must either have
a loan or new taxes. The Tories cannot dispute the alterna-
tive. They say they will not have an alteration in the sugar
duties. Are they not, in common honesty, bound to say what
they will have—taxes or a loan ; and if so, what taxes, and
what number of successive loans? The certainty that the
question must go to the country to be decided, renders this con-
duct on the part of the Tories more palpably dishonest. They
know that if they succeed in defeating the Ministerial mea-
sure upon any one of the three great points—of sugar,
corn, or timber—new taxes or a loan are inevitable ; but
they wish to go to the hustings without the unpopu-
larity which a fair statement of the case would entail upon
them. There is one class of the community who, above
all, have a right to insist upon an explicit avowal of their in-
tended policy from those who are about to engage the country
in an exasperating conflict by opposing a Government mea-
sure brought forward for the purpose of making good a defi-
ciency in the national revenue. We mean the national cre-
ditor. We hear a great deal of " protection to the East and
West India Interest ;" to the " landlord's interest;" to this
or that overgrown monopoly—is the interest of the fundholder
an interest more important than all put together, to be en.
tirely overlooked? Sir Robert Peel's supporters tell us
in the streets, " Oh, if we can ors-:y turn the Whigs
out, we can get a vote of credit for the emer-
gency, and go on smoothly enough for a year."
Very well, Sir Robert ; now, for once in your life,
do have the frankness to tell us plainly whether this is your po-
licy or not. It is important that we should know—it is impor-
tant that all who hold stock in the public funds of Great Bri-
tain should know. No doubt a vote of credit is the easiest way
of shuffling off the difficulty for the present year—no doubt it
is better for your interests as a party leader than going to the
country upon a salt tax or a house tax, dear postage, or some
of the other new taxes, which you know very well you cannot
avoid proposing, if you mean to oppose the Ministerial mea-
sures, and yet keep faith with the national ereditor. But what
of next year? Two things are clear enough :—lst, That the
necessity for new taxes will be not less, but greater than
it is now ; 2dly, That the difficulty of imposing them will
be not one whit diminished. When you come down to the
House with your Budget for 1842, and announce that the
state of Ireland has rendered it necessary to replace the
10,000 men withdrawn by the Whigs, and that the excitement
against the Corn-laws prevailing among the unemployed opera-
tives of the manufacturing districts makes it a measure of pru-
dent precaution to fortify the principal towns of the country
against their inhabitants; will you, as the " Citizen King" of
the French is now doing, for the greater peace and security of
his City of Paris, propose to raise new loans to cover your ex-
penses? Will ybur agricultural supporters be more inclined
then than now to abandon their corn monopoly, or to sub-
mit to a property tax, or tax on the transfer of land ?
If you are afraid to face the town constituencies now with a
house tax, will you be more in a condition to do so a-year
hence? If you resort to the ruinous expedient of a loan •now,
in order to gain a little temporary telief, is it not morally cer-
tain that, like the opium-eater, the power of resisting the temp-
tation will diminish every time you have recourse to the; fatal
drug? One question more, and we have done. Are there
not many instances in history of nations resorting to loans in
time of peace as an habitual means of making good the defi-
ciency of their ways and means? Is there a single instance in
which the practice once resorted to was not continued until the
nation was involved in bankruptcy, ruin, and revolution ? Once
more, we say, let the National Creditor watch the conduct of
the Tories at the present crisis as he values his property.
TIMES--It is a worthy termination of a career uniformly
marked by the postponement of public to party interests, for
the present Ministers, on the eve of their departure from office,
to aim a deadly blow at the principles of free trade. Having
1 iin by and done nothing when corn and sugar were at exor-
bitant prices, when they possessed the confidence of the House
of Commons, when they were encouraged by Conservative as
well as Liberal statesmen to reckon upon the acquiescence of all
parties in just, temperate, and we 1-considered measures of cern-
tnercial reform—having neglected these great opportunities,
and thus manifested their indifference to the principles of free
trade when it was in their power to advance them effectually,
they now come forward, under totally different circumstances,
at a season of moderate prices, when their ruinous misma-
nagement of the national revenue has destroyed the last rem-
nant of confidence in their financial views, the country casting
them off with indignation, and both Houses of Par-
liament rejecting their measures with contempt—they now
come forward and propose, in the name of free trade, an
almost indiscriminate application of the sponge to the entire
system of protective duties. "Itis no slight evil," says Mr.
Labouchere, " to bring forward measures of this kind, involv-
ing great changes in our complicated commercial system, un-
less they can brought to a successful issue." If this be true,
what are we to think of a measure framed apparently for the
very purpose of concentrating upon itself all the opposition
which a combination of the most powerful interests, reinforced
by justice, humanity, and political prudence, can muster—a
measure which it would have surpassed the power even of
the strongest Ministry which this country has ever known
to carry through Parliament? The present Government can-
not, in their wildest dreams, have contemplated its success.
What, then, must have been their motive for bringing it for-
ward ? Manifestly to throw the country into disorder ; to
rally their broken forces by the help of that passion for revo.
lutionary excitement upon which they have ever relied; to
embarrass their Conservative successors by surrounding the
name of free trade with the hateful associations of slavery, and
identifying it as far as possible with the insane and unjust
principle of non-protection ; to organize against all com-
mercial changes the enmity and alarm of great and in-
fluential classes—to throw the Conservative party into
the false, unpopular, and untenable position of the
friends of monopbly, the advocates of commercial
restrictions. Such is the game which Ministers have been
flaying. It is the obvious and only tendency of their ma-
noeuvre to intercept those advantages which the country had a
right to expect from the gradual, but steady, development of
Mr. Huskisson's principles, under a Ministry composed of Mr.
Huskisson's colleagues—to obstruct, by a device analogous to
a premeditated false start in horse-racing, or the premature
firing of a train in mining operations, the realization of those
just and practicable views which were announced by Mr. Herres
on behalf of the Conservative leaders in the debate on colonial
duties before Easter. No man can doubt that Sir Robert
Peel would have acted consistently upon these views, if
the present Ministers had resigned on Tuesday week, when it
became their duty to do so, and had not presumed to propose a
budget involving a financial revolution, after they received
their coupe from the House of Commons in the usual consti-
tutional way. If he is preyeated from doing so now, it will be
entirely owing to the difficulties and impediments thrown in
his way by the treachery of his most unworthy predecessors.
They flattered themselves, that by proposing to supply the de-
ficiency which they have caused in the revenue by a
readjustment of the scale of differential and pro-
tective duties, they might extract some indiscreet
expression of hostility to that useful principle from
Sir Robert Peel. Here, too, they have failed; for if
the expectant Premier should feel sufficient confidence in
the productiveness of this source of revenue to give it a place
in his budget, he may, without the slightest inconsistency, hate
recourse to it whenever he pleases. The Conservative states-
men have taken their stand upon the principle of uniting the
greatest possible degree of commercial freedom with bona fide
protection to the agriculture of Great Britain, the British set-
tlers in Canada, the free labourers emancipated by British
money in the West Indies, and the British and Indian capi-
talists whom public encouragement has induced to incest their
money in the East Indian sugar trade. They are ready and
desirous to reduce protection to the lowest practicable limit ;
but they will never consent to break the engagements, or forget
the duties, or wantonly alienate the dependencies of the British
Crown.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAYERS OF YESTERDAY.

CHRONICLE.—The Funds were flat in the early part of
the day, and Consols for the Account declined to 891 sellers ;
a purchase, however, having been effected to the extent of
60,0001. for money, by an influential broker, the market dis-
played more firmness.
The debate of last night has done great good. The eyes
of the people are getting open to the truth; they see that
those men who were the strongest opponents of the eman-
cipation of our slave population are now the strongest erie-
mies of the reduction of the sugar duties, on abolition prin-
ciples; and that, while they object to the reduction on
that ground, they also maintain that the diminution of duty
proposed is so trifling that it will not benefit the con-
sumer above Is. 6d. per cwt. In the first case they detect
gross inconsistency, and in the second they say, " if the reduc.
tion of duty proposed by the Govei nment be so small that it
will not benefit the consumer, why don't their opponents pre-
poseto make the reduction of duty greater ?" They oppose the
relief which is proposed because it is so small, but they do not
propose to remove the objection which they have advanced by
making the relief not nominal but real. This salutary truth is
now placed fairly before the public, and they will not fail to
make a proper use of it. The contradictory nature of the esti-
mates of increased supply to be expected for the future is also
now made manifest. So soon as the price falls the supply from
the East Indies will fall also. But, supposing it should not fall
off, and that Mr. Hogg's estimate of 100,000 tans next year should
be realised, that only supports the case of the consumer, as
stated by the opponents of the Ministerial measure; for, as
according to their statement, the reduction of price on the
estimated supply. of 240,000 tons, will not exceed one penny
in the pound weight of sugar, the people are entitled to claim
the benefit of full competition; so that by the increased
be brought down to a amountof supply the price mar
reason-
able p.moißt, Uniess the Tor es propose to make the different
tial duty less than the Chancellor of the t schequer, they will
not deceive the people by arguing that the consumers will not
be gainers by the alteration. The people, as has been well re-
marked by a Contemporary, have got the scent of cheap sugar
in their nose, and they will not give it up until the sense of
taste as well as that of smell is gratified.
A paper has been circulated tet day 11 the pity, without any
name attached to it, containing a concise and able exposition
of the case of the consumer, that is, the case of the public
against the class interests. It deals ably with the arguments-
of the English planters, and declares this palpable and iln-
portarit twth, that " hereafter, those who shall baye been in-
struraePt maintaining the e;Clusiori *of the produce of
Brazil and Cuba from oar markets mutt beheld answerable for
the ontinltaPoe of tho Africp slave trade,"

PRICE sd.

The writer of the document from which this sound maxim is
extracted discusses with good feeling and propriety the repug.•
nonce entertained by many philanthropists in this country to
the use of slave produce; but he asks, with great pertinency,
while the products of slave labour are various, " why it is
against sugar alone that the objection is raised ?" He observes—
" C.Aton, tobacco, and rice, we use without ccmpunction.
Gold, produced by slaves, who toil unceasingly, hopelessly,
in comparision with whose condition the labourer on a sugar
plantation lives in bliss—gold, thus stained with hrman
crime and misery, we put into our pockets without a pang,
without a thought ! But even with respect to this one
article— sugar—what is our conduct ?Do we refuse to buy
it ? Does it offer violence to our consciences to encourage
its production by furnishing the planter with the implements
of husbandry and by clothing his slaves, taking payment in
that which alone he has to give—slave-grown sugar ? Of
cotton goods alone, made from a slave-grown product, we
sent to Brazil in 1839 to the value of 1,633,3101. To make
the seventy-six million; of yards of cotton cloth sent to
Brazil in that one year was the work of tens of thousands
of our own industrious population, every one of whom vir-
tually gave encouragement to the sugar planters of Brazil.
There might be some philanthropy in our giving those
seventy-six millions of yards cf cloth to the negro labourers
in that country. and this would not be so expensive an ex-
ercise of that virtue by two-thirds as our present mode of de-
priving ourselves of the use of Brazilian sugar. But letthat
pass ; —we do buy this sugar; and what possible differenee
can it make, in a moral point of view, whether we sweeten
our own tea and coffee with it, or whether we send it for sale
to Germany to be used by the less scrupulous but more con-
sistent populations there?"
These facts are conclusive, and must convince the abolitionists
of the untenable nature of their argument. It is in vain fur
them to say that we cannot exclude cotton and tobacco. There
is no impossibility about the matter, and if the argument be
good against sugar, it is equally so against the use of all slave
products.

TlMEs.—The preloittm on gold at Paris is per
w!+!,, pri,:e of 3/. 17s. 101,4 d. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 36, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 2.5. 40, it follows
that gold is 0.16 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 432 per mark,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. Bi, and the ex-
change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 711, it fol-
lows that gold is 0.47 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than
in London.

The Ministerial measures continue to affect the Public
Funds, and the market for Consols was all day in an unsettled
state. There was also a demand for money at 5 per cent.,
which of course influenced the value of Exchequer bias.
In the Continental exchanges there was no material alteration
in the rates upon Hamburgh and Paris, but Amsterdam was, if
anything, a trifle higher.
By the usual official return published by the Customs, the
export of the precious metals from the port of London to fo-
reign and colonial parts for the week ending Thursdsy last was
as under: Ounces.

SUN.—The feature in the Money Market, is still an un-
defined and vague feeling of apprehension that capital may
soon become scarce, and a consequent tightness of dis-
counts. As regards the Funds, there were further
. amounts of the unfunded thrown upon the mar-
ket, and this led to a renewed though not se-
rious decline in the premium—viz., from 7s. to 4s. and
6s. East India Bonds were at Is. discount, and Is. pre-
mium. Bank Stock was at 1671- to 168, the Reduced
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 97* to and the
Three per Cent. Annuities 88f to 884. Consols, at four
o'clock, were 89i sellers for Account, and 894 for Money.
There was not much doing in the Foreign Stocks. The
Active Spanish Bonds were at 234 to 24 ; the New Por-
tuguese Five per Cents. at 33* ; Mexican Stock at a de-
cline, from 29+ to 28# to 4 ; Peruvian at 161 ; Vene-
zuelan Deferred at 84 to .*; Buenos Ayres at 22; Belgian
at 100 to 4 ; French Five Cents. at 114 f. 25c. ; and Dutch
Two-and-Half per Cents. at 521 to
The market for Railway Shares has become dull.
London and Birmingham were at 69 ; South Western
18* ; Great Western New at 14, and the Fifths at 7#
premium. Brighton were 3i to 2i ; Manchester and
Lends 14 ; Northern and Eastern 22 ; and Birmingham
and Gloucester 28 discount, ex-New Shares: Colonial
Bank Shares were 10:} premium, and Union Bank of
Australia 9 premium ; Brazilian Imperial Mining Com-
pany's Shares were 15 discount.
The Foreign Exchanges were on the whole without
any marked alteration to-day. On Paris bills were taken
at 25f. 62-c. to 65c., on Amsterdam at 12 31 to 3-, on
Frankfort at 1491 to R, on Hamburgh at 13 9,f to 4, and
on Trieste at 10. The rate of exchange on London
comes over steady from Hamburgh, and the price of gold
still rather high.
A letter received at the North and South American
Coffee-house states that the writer had been on board
the Lord Saumarez, arrived at Liverpool, and which re-
ported having seen a large steamer on her way home
from the Cape, and had ascertained from the mate that
the steamer was disabled, had three masts and one very
large funnel, with her sails set upon the main. The track
of the President steamer answers to this description.
The steamer seen, which is proved not to be the Hard-
wicke (arrived safe at Liverpool), might therefore have
been the President, out thirty days, and disabled, attempt-
ing to make the Cape de Verde islands.

THE SHIPOWNERS' SOCIETY.
Our readers will see from the following letter, ad-
dressed by Messrs. G. L. Jackson and Son, shipowners,
Water-lane, to the Secretary of the Shipowners' Society,
they have withdrawn themselves from that Society in
consequence of its hostility to the measures proposed by
Government with regard to sugar, timber, and corn :
" Water-lane, May 8, 1841.
" Sir,—Our attention has been called to a copy of a
letter addressed by you on behalf of the General Ship-
owners' Society, to the Secretary of the British North
American Association, in which you intimate the readi-
ness of our Society to unite with them in concocting
measures of immediate and energetic resistance to her
Majesty's Government with regard to the proposed al-
teration of duties on the importation of sugar, timber,
and corn.

"We cannot, therefore, refrain from expressing our
opinion that such reduction would be highly favourable,
not only to the general interests of the country, and
especially to the poorer classes, but also highly advanta-
geous, in particular, to the shipping interest ; and disap-
proving, as we do, of this act of the Committee, as inju-
rious to the interests committed to their care, and as sa-
vouring too much of political bias, we have to request
that you may consider us as no longer members of the
Shipowners' Society.
" We remain, respectfully, Sir,
" Your obedient servants,
(Signed) "G. L. JACKSON and SON.
" W. Oviatt, Esq., Secretary to the Shipowners' Society.
" P.S. As shipowners, nothing would conduce to our
interests more than so near an approach to a free-trade,
in corn and sugar especially, as the circumstances of the
country might permit."
The above, we learn, is far from being a solitary in-
stance. The conduct of the Committee of the Society has
called forth many letters of the same import from mem-
bers of the Society.—Chronicle.

REVIEW AND SIEGE OPERA-
TIONS BY THE GARRISON OF CHATHAM, IN
CONCERT WITH THE ROYAL ENGINEERS.
Preparations were made on Monday, the 10th instant, to
receive his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who had
expressed his intention of inspecting the establishment for the
instruction of the junior officers of the Royal Engineers, and
the Royal Sappers and Miners, of which Colonel Pasley is Di.
rector, at Chatham; but as the inspection of parallels, ap-
proaches' batteries, &c., would be very uninteresting, unless
manned by infantry and artillery, the Commandant of the garri-
son directed that this should be done, as on former occasions.
Much to the disappointment of thousands, it was announced on
the morning of that day, that his Royal Highness was prevented
from attending by indisposition, but as two conjunct mines had
been prepared for explosion, and very extensive field-works
had been perfected, and siege guns and mortars had been
placed in battery, by order of Colonel Sir William Warre,
Commandant of the garrison, the intended operations were car-
ried into effect in the following order, commencing at 11 o'clock.
Th., troops of the garrison having manned a front
of fortification, and also the parallels, approaches, lodgements,
and batteries erected against it by the engineers, the operations
were opened by a general fire of infantry and artillery on both
sides. After some time an officer of engineers was observed
through the smoke moving towards a barrier gate, which closed
the centre of the curtain, and having hung a bag of powder to
it, he lighted a Bickford's fuze attached to the bag, and retired.
In less than a minute the powder exploded and blew the gate
to pieces. This was the preconcerted moment at which the
mines were to be fired by the Voltaic battery, which was done
in the usual manner by an 'engineer officer, in the second par al-
lel, o
by
tok rubbing one wire against another ; instantaneous ex-
plosion place, and the effect was magnificent. An excel-
lent breach was formed, and by a simultaneous movement two
assaulting columns rushed from their cover, one towards the gate-
way, and the other towards the breach, both of which, however,
were obstinately contested until the defenders were obliged to
retire by an escalading party who took them in flank. After
some animated and skilful skirmishing on both sides, " Cease
firing " was sounded, and the whole garrison who had been
employed in these operations firmed in front of the lines, and
marched past the Commandant in review order.
There were about 1,200 men under arms on the occasion, be-
sides a great number of recruits to keep the ground. The day
was propitious, and no drawback to the pleasure of the specta-
tors occurred, excepting the absence of the Royal Duke.
Colonel Sir William Warre in person directed the operations
of the besiegers, who were opposed by Colonel Weare, at the
head of the provisional battalion as defenders.
Colosel Pasley came from Portsmouth, where he had been
employed more than a week in resuming the operations against
the wreck of the Royal George, in order that he might be
present to receive his Royal Highness, all the engineer prepa-
rations necessary for that purpose having been made in the
mean time by Captain Sandham, his second in command.
The breach was stormed by the 77th, under Major Wilson,
and the 95th, headed by Major Trevor. The ptewaLwas
carried by the 75th and 33d, forming a battalion under Major
Westmore. The escalade was executed by the Royal Sappers
and Miners, under the oommand of Captain Sarjcl?am,
