110 W TO GIII"I'lfE CORN-LAW

E PEA :.:IJ.
The way to obtain the repeal of the: Corn-laws
is to enlighten the elected, not the elector!.
Show the Honourable Houses that the Engli'-'ll
people and the Scotch people will not longer o'l
dare the injustice, and it will be repealed, but no;
unless you do this.
The course seems to us to be to show the pea
pie the first step to be taken fbr bettering thet
condition, namely, the facility of get:ing a supply
of lbod ; but not to direct their attention de-
cidedly and boldly to that, is to increase the clan'
ger in other respects. There must be, and is, a
vast amount of suppressed and smothered vio"
lence amongst the people. Give it a safety-valve
by directing it rightly. It is reported, in
the speech of the R M ev. r. Hearne, ,i,ll
the Conference, that one man said to him,
anything stirs I'll be up, for better die abroad
than starve at home." We ourselves heard: a
very intelligent young man—one of the most 50
we have met with in Manchester, and «'h°,
though he seems to take a pride in ranking, n 5
an operative, is in a sphere which is usually
called rather above that, say, " We, the,
operatives, are seriously contemplating to inareP
up to London before Christmas, then 01,1
will believe we are in earnest." Agiva'
the little publication of the Operatives,
the Anti-Moitopolist, points to the man-,
sions of the nobility ; and the publications 0!
what are called the Tory-Chartists retort ana
point to the tall chimnies of the cotton spinners'
Would not the proper way be to point, not at the
property of any other persons, but at their ova
property—their own corn and flour locked 111)•
Let them demand to have that liberated—it IS
a just and reasonable demand--and it is better
their attention should be directed to it, tb
either to the mansions of the nobiiity, Or the,
manufactories of the commoners.—Bread Eaters'
Advocate.

THE GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAIL'
WAY.—A meeting of Railway Proprietors of a most I°l-
- character took place at the City Of York n°l'
Monday last, namely, a meeting consisting of deputatieh-vm,
from all the Railway Companies south as far as lieg,""id,.
the Leeds and Manchester Railway Companv,..,-,v-e-
Great North of England RAilway Company, the
castle and Carlisle Railway Company, the perils°
Junction Railway Company, and the Brandling
Railway Company. The immediate object these parlLe,;
had in iew was the means of carrying into effect tv...,_,.1“;
for extending the Great North of England Railway 177,
Darlington to Newcastle : the ultimate object was, 'fl-
are rejoiced to be enabled to state, confessed')." ";
secure the execution of the communication by roiht
on the Eastern or Coast line from Newcastle 'a
Edinbut The scheme by which it is propose
to exteLd the Great North of England Railway. Ate
Newcastle is to form a new Company, with a Wt'.
of 500,0001., for the purpose of making a railway 61
the point of junction of the Great North of Englatt
Railway with the Stockton and Darlington Railway'
until they reach the Durham Junction and the Brarse
ling Junction Railways, which will at once coinFle,te
the line to Gateshead. Mr. R. Stephenson, the cele-
brated engineer, has estimated the expense of this e°ll,'
netting railway, and he states in his Report that it C3i,
be executed for less than 20,0001. per mile, so that
the proposed capital would seem to be fully adequate'
We [cannot, perhaps, adduce a st: onger argument 1.
show the opinion really entertained by the influentis
and wealthy parties supporting the measure, of the
profit to be derived from the undertaking itself,
and incidentally—the immense benefits which will re-
sult from it to the other railways already enumerated
than the fact that they offer to guarantee to the sb.a,rei
holders in the new railway 6 per cent. fir their caPtet
for 10 years! The project, we are happy to state,Lee
h the approbation of all present, and the details wiere
left to be maturely considered at an adjourned meeting,
t) be held on Monday, the 27th of September. It is he-
sieved that this connecting railway, or, in other words'
the entire line from Darlington to Gateshead, might tints
be completed in two years from the time of obtainin,qte
)211
necessary Parliamentary powers, which it is expected wnt t
be obtained without difficulty. Let but this imrrt3'.
undertaking succeed, and we shall look forward with Per-
fect confidence to the accomplishment—the speedy 'lei
complishment— of that work which we have for severs,
years so strenuously recommended through gcol 111'
evil report, the railway on the eastern coast line frail'

OBITUA RY.—D•ed at Raleigh, North Carolina,
on Tuesday, the 24th instant, Joseph Gales, father of one
of the Editors of this paper, and of the wife of the other!
He had completed his eightieth year on the 4th of Fe-
bruary last. Mr. Gales was a native of the village o 1
Eckington, Derbyshire, in England, and commenced bit,:
siness as a printer and bookseller, when of age, at Sliet
field, in 1787, the Sheffidi Register. Persecuted on !lc;
count of his political principles, after publishing
that
popular paper for seven years, he imigrated 1794,his
with his family, to the United States, spending on hia
way some months in Germany ; arrived at Philade P
in August, 1795, beginning business as a printer
and after a time purchasing from the elder Oswald' the
establishment of the Independent Gazetteer, uhich
e
published for a year, and resold it to Samuel 11. Stung,
Esq. (afterwards the founder of the National Pali-
yencer) ; emigrated to North Carolina in SePteteral
1799, and there established igit Register,
he published for forty years, sand which is still published
by his youngest son, a native of North Carolina, the
father having only a year or two ago retired from tn
there,e

LEITH.--FOREIGN GRAIN—We last
noticed the unprecedented importation of foreign grain.
the arrivals since then have been still more numerous'
not fewer since Saturday than a hundred foreign vesse4,B
having within these three days entered our harbour
with grain, and, at the time we write, numbers are sr;
pearing in the roadstead. The Docks,; eastern an;
western, are literally crowded with shipping—a Her" c
passage is just kept fer those going out and in, otherwis
the docks might be crossed over, the vessels
abreadth. There never was such a number of ships 3tl
the Docks at one time before. The appearance is more like,
the crowded port of the Thames, or the great docks O'
Antarerp, than anything we have seen. Vast number:
these three days past are. visiting our harbours to witfiesi
this great assemblage of shipping frcm the continents
ports. Tne great variety of build forms a striking fes;
ture in the group—the tall-masted German, the burl
rounded Dutchman, and the slim tapered Prussian, COw
treat finely with the massive British barque lying along
:ile.—,dinburgh Paper.
of
THE FRUIT SEASON.—The supply of fruit e
every description has this year been much larger than for so.;
seasons past, and notwithstanding the reduced rate of duty,
tier
importation of forign fruits Las been very trifling. The le,.
l.
has be( n confined to the early supply of .some of the per;shab
varieties, but not at all to interfere with the home grower when
his productions were brought into the market. The supPlYi°J.
apples is unusually large, both at Covent-garden and Spill,o7„'
t
markets, where, from the great glut, the finest sorts from M",,
may be procured from 1-s. fid. to 2s. 6d. per bushel, being a'
a rate so low that apples from Cambridgeshire, from which a
large supply is brought to the London markets, will not is4l
the price of carriage ; so that any competition from fofeVai
sources with this fruit is quite out of the questiou.
unusually`l'll"
cider coui:ties the crops are represented as being
large. The crop of pcars,and the prices at market, are 1:1°
above the usual average. There has already been an extensive
i luirtation cf walnuts from France and Holland, the Eingls3ll
s pplj being totally inadequate to the demand. owing to t!
la. re destruction of walnut trees during the war fur rouskr
stocks nd other purposes. Foreign grapes are abuneuit
t'e market, w tich are now exhausted of oranges, none of tots
year's fruit having yet been teceiv, d. he supply of plums 16
very considerable; but there is a s.anty demand fur them fa
the purpose of preserves, on account of the high price of sae*
which renders our own dearer than foreign preserves. t's4
cumbvrs have been very plentiful ; but the demand for 010
has nev r rallied since the outcry against this fruit at the time
of the Asiat.c cholera.
