MR. W. W. SIMPSON invites the attention of
Capitalists to the statements contained in the following
Advertisements, ielating to the past, present. and prospective per-

manency of Rentals and the value oil:and, cOnflrming; as they do,
the predictions which he ventured to make last April, in a speech at
Norwich, in which he observed, that " although he had been a
thorough-going Protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and
all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his- firm and
honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal
principles within the last seven years would be permanent ; that the
year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six months,
and in all probability would continue to rise ; and that in adopting
free trade measures, Sir Robert l'eel had proved himself to be one
of the most talented, far-sighted, and fearlessly honest Ministers
that bid ever lived in the tide of time." The present circumstances
of the country, from a general scarcity of food throughout Europe,
fully jitstify the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents and
courage displayed by Sir Robert Peel. It is stated by the most com 7
petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been
carried out, the prices of Corn and produce would have risen to a
famire height. Mr. Simpsen has also been assured by the most re-
spectable salesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been tor
the alteration of the'Tariff, the price of Meat would long since have
risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression
is, that befoie next harsiest the prices of provisions will reach a
height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of
the country.- Mr.-Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain from al-
luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the late Sir Charles We-
therell, on the subject. A high Tory and firm Protectionist, the
fears he eniertained-as lo the probable results of the' Repeal of the
Corn Laws ipduced him to ,determine on selling his landed pr'operty,
but his better judgment prevailed, and be not only retained pos-
session of it, but was in the course of making further investments
when he met his" lamentable fate. THE PROTECTIONISTS—
WHERE AltE THEY? . WHERE ARE NOW YOUR PROPIIETS
