CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication:—
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—making
t•agether 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and
the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
MA received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 1 Id.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. lls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de PEtang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and futire prospects.

WHAT OF THE WEATHER?

I don't profess to prophesy,

But certainly my weather eye •
Knows how to lift its lid.

'Tis now about a year ago
Since I predicted cold ;
When down came winter's drifting snow,
• Just as my Muse foretold. •:,
• Another year my fame I'll risk,
As a prophetic bard,
By stating that the sun's dark disc
• Bespeaks a winter hard.
Cold winds will blow, and frosts benumb,

Yet fear not winter aught ;
Warm wrappers for a mod'rate sum,
Of MOSES may be bought.
MOSES and SON, for winter wear,
Have all that you require ;
And you for winter should prepare,
By buying this attire.

Will ev'ry harm remove,
however cold and comfortless
The coining month may prove.

" Sir,—T am happy to inform you that I have experienced the
greatest benefit from taking only two boxes of Dr. Loco ck's Wafers.
Previously to my taking them I could scarcely walk from the great
difficulty of breathing, and my cough would then increase to such a
degree that I was nearly suffocated. I had not for many months
slept for more than half an hour at a time ; but I am now able to
sleep all night without coughing. I can truly recommend them to
those-who are similarly afflicted, as a most invaluable remedy.

DR. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the pri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body.
It is proved by the bills of mortality that one-half of the children
horn are cut off before attaining their seventh year. The source of
this Tearful mortality is found to exist in that foul state of the stomach
and bowels which children are so liable to, and produces the genera-
tion of Worms. The four mosticommon species are—
ASCARIDES VERMICULARIS; commonly called Maw or
Thread Worm, is about half-an-inch in length, and the thickness
of a thread. Tney infest every part of the alimentary canal, but
principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occasioning pain.
Their Increase is most rapid; and the number existing in one
individual is often incredible, and this in persons of all ages.
TRICURIS VULGARIS, or long Thread Worm, is about two
inches in length, and tapers down from the head to the tail ; they
are not so common as the former. These also infest the whole ali-
mentary •anal, and are equally tormenting.
TERES LUMBRICOIDES, or long round Worms, are generally
from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a goose-quill.
These exist in the regions of the stomach, causing sickness, bile, fla-
tulence, with headache.
TIENIA ()SCUMS MARGINALIBITS, or Tape Worm. The dis-
tinguishing character of this species consists in the oscula, or mouths,
being situated upon the margin of each Joint, which is flat. They
vary in breadth, and also in length from G to 170 yards, and the
joints decrease in all cases as they approach the head. Extraordi-
nary specimens of the tribe have been exhibited at the Museum of
the late Dr. Gardner, to the astonishment of thousands who have
witnessed them.
This celebrated medicine has stood the test of half a century's ex-
perience, efleetually destroying every kind of Worms, and removing
all impurities from the stomach and bowels, by invigorating which
Worms are not only expelled, but their generation prevented ; and
may be administered with confidence to children, or the most debili-
tated adult, without restraint in diet or confinement.

MARKET BOSWORTH FARMERS'
ASSOCIATION.
(From the Leicestershire Mercury.)
A meeting of the members of this association was held
at the Dixie Arms on Wednesday the 27th inst., when
the chair was taken by Mr. R. Smith, of Sutton Cheney.
Mr. Harrison stated that at the request of the committee,
he had written to the Rev. John Twells, requesting him
again to favour the association with his company; but

The CHAIRMAN then stated that the subject of the
afternoon's discussion would bo " the Currency as it
affects the interests of the British agriculturist;" and he
would first call upon Mr. Harrison to open the proceed-

manner in which her Majesty was made by her Ministers
to express her sympathy with the distress of the agricul-
tural interest. To that speech he should not now have re-
curred but for the speech of Lord J. Russell recently de-
livered at the Mansion-house, in which his Lordship con-
gratulated his audience on the general prosperity of the
country. It was clear, therefore, the agriculturists had
little to hope for from that quarter. He believed, too,
that they had little reason to hope for sympathy from
other quarters. In the Evening Mail of the other day
he had met with an article in which the editor advised
any " unsuccessful farmer" who grumbled at the present
state of affairs to emigrate to the Antipodes, as many a
clergyman and lawyer had to do: therefore why should
the farmer repine at having to follow their example?—
(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. H.) had therefore come to the
conclusion, that the only course the farmer now could
pursue was to lay his case before that public which
always acted justly when they understood the real merits
of a case; for from those in authority, and their organs,
they met with nothing but pretended sympathy. Among
the topics which be looked upon as of importance to the
farmer was that of the currency; but because this Asso-
ciation again took it up, it must not be supposed that
they were therefore overlooking or forgetting the other
great questions to which they had on. former occasions
drawn attention—such as the Reduction of Rent—(Hear)
—the Abolition of the Law of Distraint—(Hear)—and a
revision of the condition between landlord and tenant.—
(Hear, hear.) Indeed he was happy to know that the
attention which this association bad drawn to those great
questions was beginning to work for good in other places.
—(Hear.) Were he at liberty he could mention the case
of a large landowner residing not ten miles from that
place, who, after reading the report of the proceedings
of that association on this question, went to his legal
agent, and said he had not before thought of the in-
jurious and unfair operation of this law, and that he, for
one, was willing to give up his right to the operation of
that law.—(Hear, hear.) The question had also been
thus brought before the notice of one of the principal
law officers of the Crown, who had expressed himself
strongly on the necessity of a change in this law. This
showed them the necessity, therefore, of keeping their
grievances before the public.—(Hear, hear.) He now
came to the question of the evening; but, in so doing,
he must take them back nearly half a century. Mr.
Harrison then proceeded—But I must vow draw
your attention to that portion of grievances (the
monetary system) which more particularly forms the
subject of our consideration at the present mo-
ment, and I must now lead you back in English
history for more than half a century, when we were
beset with enemies on every side—seeming to be at war
with all the world.—(Hear). In these wars, not only
human life and happiness, but wealth and treasure also,
to an unlimited extent, were expended and destroyed.
To find money for such expenditure, the Minister of the
day borrowed largely upon the credit of the country
(thus entailing a heavy debt upon posterity) ; but to
find the means for people lending, and for paying the
increased taxation rendered necessary by the payment
of interest upon the debt contracted, he was obliged also
to amplify the circulating medium of the kingdom. In
1797 (I believe) an Act was
notes of the Bank of England legal tender—enabling
them legally to perform the office of representative of
of
labour, of industry,passed which made the
capital, of wealth ; and which,
in fact, gave to this country a paper currency.—(Hear).
Now, air, this measure to myself is merely a matter of
history ; but there are many persons living (and per-
haps some may be present) who can well remember
the passing of the Bank Restriction Act ; and such
can speak to the general prosperity which ensued.
The object of the Minister, in resorting to a
paper currency, was to enable each class, by the
intervention of a cheap and expansible representative of
value, as a medium of barter, to charge upon the cost
price of his individual labour or production, the quota
or share which might be charged upon himself, to the
increasing burdens of national taxation. And now let us
inquire how this cheap means of barter affected the posi-
tion of the agriculturist? I find that in the last twenty
years of the last century, compared with twenty years
from that date (or 1800 and 1820 inclusive), the average
price of wheat stands in the comparison as 50s. 10d.
does to 84s. 5d.; or increased in money-valve something
more than three-fifths.—(gear.) If we examine his-
tory as to the state of
agriculture w© shall find that at
this period it was particularly flourishing. If we exa-
mine the Inclosure Bills of this country we shall find
that a large number took date at this period. And
when we meet with old farmers they invariably speak of

accounts of this date; and could I at that time have
foreseen that I should ever have been called on to address a
meeting upon this subject, and to touch upon the state of
agricultural production at this date, I might have derived
from them some useful information. However, I remember
the profits of a few items about this period; although I do
not remember precisely the price or the dates. Thus,

preparation for this by withdrawing its notes from cir-
culation, which caused pressure and distress chiefly
among the commercial interests of the kingdom, and the
failure of our banks. In 1819 Peel brought into Par-
liament, and carried, a Bill for the resumption of cash
and I well recollect the time that this Bill
payments;
first came into operation. I think the farmers had their
first pinch from its action in 1821.—(Hear.) I remember
speaking of his son s measure, said " Robert
lie then,
well the opinion expressed by, the then Sir Robert Peel;
is wrong, and will ruin his country." I can
recollect, too, that one common topic of conversation
among the country politicians of that day, was the
injustice done to the debtor by increasing in real
amount his various, obligations—another was the great
boon conferred upon the public creditor; and another,
was what was then considered the Radical proposition—
the necessity of an equitable adjustment.—(Hear, hear
and "It must come to that.") Now, :since I have
contdclered more maturely the currency question, and
have called to mind the recollections of twenty-five and
thirty years ago I 'Call see that there wore men in ex-
*
Waco who pada clear perception of the onls of Out

measure ere it was carried; who warned the agricul-
turists of their threatened difficulties; but who, by the
farmer, were refused a hearing because they were " Bir-
mingham Radicals"—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—and
were ever arguing upon the currency question, which
no one understood.—(Hear, hear.) Well, sir, corn fell
in price to 745. 6d. in 1819; to 675. 10d. in 1820; to
56c. Id. in 1821; to ,445. 7d. per quarter in 1822.—
(Hear, hear.) Beef and mutton fell in 1821.9° from 7d.
to 3d. per lb , and greet agricultural di,tress ensued.
But the Government of that day, unlike the Government
of this day, felt for the suffering of the country; it
pitied! the agriculturist, and gave him temporary relief.
By Lord Londonderry's Small Note Act, I think about
four millions of paper were added to the circulation of
the country, and it had a very great and stimulating
eiftct. Prices revived, and the farmer's drooping spirits
were restored.—(Hear.) In 1825, the bill of 'l9 came
fully into operation, and great was the suffering in the
commercial world, and great was the agricultural dis-
tress. All of my age—and some many years younger—
cannot possibly forget the misery and distress of the
winter of '25 and '26.—(Hear.) Banks stopped pay-
ment, and agriculturists, by hundreds, were plunged
into difficulties from which they never rose.—(Hear,
hear.) I will not pursue this examination further than
to say, that the price of corn, which had for the first
thirty years of this century averaged 85s. per quarter,
fell, notwithstanding the existence of a corn law, during
the next twenty-years, to 51s. 6d. per quarter.—(Hear,
hear.) Now I have often wondered how the landed in-
terest, which of all others was most likely to be affected
by the return to cash payments—because this class was
always burdened with the greatest weight of national
taxation—l say, I have often wondered how this class
could be cajoled into the approval of the Money Bill of
'l9? I cannot find time to inquire into the sophistries
which might be advanced by the Ministry of that time to
gain the landlords' concurrence in that measure which
has saddled themselves and the country with almost
a doubling of the debt. Some say that the land-
owners were told that a difference of 3 per cent. was the
maximum of the change that could ensue. Others say
that the currency is an abstract science, entirely above
the comprehension of ordinary minds, and that it could
not be expected that country gentlemen should under-
stand it. But, in the want of other or better evidence, I
am content to take that of Sir James Graham, who im-
plied in his speech in the House of Commons on the 21st
of February
Government ofa ntdhisoyee ar , a c
Aristocracy,
om pae o t
of this
bargain
kind,
acquiesce in the return to cash payments, and yen shall
retain the corn-laws."—(Hear, hear.) He thus spoke:—
" I have always contended, and the Hon. Member for
Warwickshire will agree with me, that the most im•
provident bargain that could have been made by any
great class was that which the landlords made in 1819,
when, in consideration of an exclusive corn-law, which
gave them the sole possession of the home market up to
80e, per quarter, they consented to the restoration of a
depreciated standard of value—a standard which had
been depreciated for a quarter of a century. That that
was an improvident bargain I thought then, and I think
so now.—(Cheers.) They are about to pursue their class-
interests by asking for the re-imposition of the corn-
laws, in the vain hope of advancing the value of their
property at the expense of, and in opposition to, the en-
tire community. Let them be on their guard."—(Hear,
hear.) Now, sir, Ido not mean to express a belief that
such bargain or contract was entered into in specific
terms, but I can readily believe that such compact be-
tween the Government and landowners was implied and
understood, and that at the time there was no real inten-
tion on either side of breaking or evading the bargain.
But the return to cash payments had no sooner been
carried by Parliament than it began its work of destruc-
tion. The means of the manufacturer were crippled by
it; he felt the pressure of the times, and this made him
regard the protected loaf of the agriculturist with a
jealous eye.—(Hear, hear.) I think it was in 1826 that
the first systematic attack was pon the existence
of the corn-law. There was in ear, if I recollect
rightly, an opening of the ports rder in Council,
and foreign bonded corn was ad to a very consi-
derable extent. And lam free t confess, from my re-
colic ction of that time, that th entrance of a large
quantity of foreign corn, though rejudicial to the in-
It
terest of the tenant-farmer, was n ssary to the comfort,
if not the welfare, of the humble classes of society.—
(Hear.) The more I look into this subject, the more I am
compelled to express my: humble opinion that the agri-
culturists, as a body, have neither acted considerately to
the manufacturers' interest, Nor wisely towards them-
selves.—(Hear.) On the first at k made upon the
corn-law, it would have been far r to have said, "If
we give up the corn-law, you mu . • to a revenue
duty, equal per quarter to our direc •ct taxa-
tion; and you shall join us in our de a . ads e Go-
vernment of the country for a rester> of such
standard of value as that in which our deb as Aefita,
and in which alone its interest should be pa ."—(Heir.)
We have now lost the protective corn-law, end we are
now experiencing in full force and intensity the cpera-
tion cf Peel's Bill of 1819, which we, as agriculturists,
were, by the influence of that corn-law, prevented from
feeling in full severity before.—(Hear.) Recollect that
all commodities increased in nominal value—corn, stock,
rent, add tithes, became higher in amount during the
existence of the paper currency. But mark this: a re-
turn to cash payments is made, and down come corn,
stock, manufactures, and commodities—in nominal value
—but rent, tithes, interest, and all fixed payments, re-
main nominally the same.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Harrison
then proceeded to elucidate this point by some familiar
illustrations; after which, he dwelt upon the necessity of
a revision of the relations between landlord and tenant
as to rent,—even though the property of the former may
be encumbered. He then reverted to some facts and
figures connected with the currency, concluding by
moving the following resolution:—
" That the circulating medium of this country is not ,
at this time sufficiently ample and expansive to meet
the commercial wants of a highly-taxed and increasing
population."
The CHAIRMAN called upon Mr. Chapman to second
the resolution.

Mr. CEIPMAIT did so briefly, expressing his entire
concurrence in the arguments of the preceding speaker.
He then observed—The resolution which has just been
moved says, " that the circulating medium in this
country is not sufficiently ample and expansive." Now
is not this a self-evident fact to every one of us ? Is
there any farmer in this room who has only his farm to
look to for support, who cannot verify the truth of this
assertion ?—(Hear.) Is not the complaint of the day
this, that there is so little money circulating ? And is
not this the very heart of the matter, the practical view
of the currency question, if we can prove that the pre-
sent currency-laws confine and reduce the circulating
medium ?—(Hear.) To prove that these laws have
this effect is for others to do ; but when we
see the hot Protectionist and the Free-trader,
the Conservative and the Whig, and, in short,
men of all grades of opinion, unanimous in
advocating the paper currency, it ic, indeed,
a harbinger of our success.—(Hear.) My father, who,
some of you well know, has had half a century's experi-
ence, informs me that when the 1/. notes were called in,
it made great havoc with the needy farmers, and alse
farmers of property who had no ready money; for the'
wre
hea machines were set to work, the
bankers would no longer accommodate the farmers; con-
dmsfreooaqiknuee, andntthtliys the
panicethrashingwas glutted with corn, prices were knocked
thinkslong timem amany ereof the
they
farmersrecovered;
o e v
e r arned-
covered. The banks not giving them credit, their want
of ready money compelled them to go to market with
their corn immediately after harvest, and prices were
thus kept from rising; for this diminution of the paper in
circulation caused the farmer to get the work done as
quickly as possible, and then discharge his labourers, be-
cause he bad not ready money to pay them; this caused
distress among the labourers, and in many cases robbery
and incendiary fires were the consequence.—(Hear,
hear.) The laws which regulate money must surely have
some effect, and that a great effect, on the farmer,
for he takes the corn and cattle he has to spare to
market, and buys money with them; and if there is a
contracted currency, surely it must have a sadly depre-
ciating value on the farmer's produce ; for if money is
short, his produce will purchase much less of it.—
(Hear.) In this point of view the currency question be-
comes a practical and a farmer's question, and one which
is easy of comprehension. What does, it signify to the
farmer whether the money is silver, gold, or paper, so
long as he can get plenty of it—so long as a bit of paper
is a good and legal tender for the payments he has to
make?—(Hear.) Our legislators have not only made
scarcemlBo4n4e,ybu t
have by
alsoth the
passed
whichcts ofe
foreigner to send his corn here free of duty. We farmers
are therefore doubly injured —by a crippled cur-
rency and by a free trade in corn; for the enhanced
value of money is an aggravation of the depression
oa18hlle(t and
caused by free trade.—(Here Mr. Chapman gave,
as an illustration of the safe working of a
paper currency under proper regulations, a his-
tory of the mode in which a new meat market
was built in Guernsey. The market cost 4,000/.—
notes to that amount were issued under the term
"Meat Market Money," circulating only in that island:
with these notes the contractor paid his men, and they
were readily taken from the men by the tradesmen; the
income derived the first year from the market was 4001.;

I have done; and that is, whether you pass your verdict
for a paper currency, or a gold standard, this I am sure
you will agree with, that none of the Popish coins shall
ever circulate in this country—no figure of the Pope
shall ever deface our coins, or enter our pockets; or any
of the Pontiff's tokens, be they Cardinals or Bishops;
but upon our coins shall be imprinted " Victoria, Dei
Gratia;" and we will be the free, the unfettered, the obe-
dient and loving subjects of the British Sovereign.—
(Applause and laughter.)

The resolution was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN now called on Mr. J. N. GIMSoN to
move the second resolution, in doing which that gen-
tleman thus explained his views on the meaning of the
word Currency :—The term " circulating medium," is
ouo expressive of the medium or measuro of value by

In one it is gold; in another silver; in a third paper.
These come under the denomination of a money cir-
culating medium," but there are other repreFentatives of
va!uo besides these. Oxen have been by some nations,
in earlier periods, made the standard of value; at one pe-
riod, among it the Greeks and Romans, iron we used;
and in one Emperor's reign, in order to prevent the love
of money and its consequences growing upon the people,
this money representative was made so cumbrous that the
people would not trouble themselves wits it: it is said to
have taken the strength of more than two oxen to move
200 pence worth ; and though the Roman people at
that time, and for a succession of ages, wore the most
powerful nation upon earth, I do not recollect hearing or
reading that they ever had a gold standard of value.
The people of Virginia for a long time estimat?d the
value of articles by pounds of tobacco ; and Captain
Franklin tells us the .Drees Indians used beaver skins
as their medium of exchange, and estimate the value of
all other things by a certain number of them ; while in
some parts of Africa a species of shells, called cowries,
are used. I shall mention but one other substance
which has been used as a standard of value and a me-
dium of exchange by which the value of all other things
have been estimated—intrinsically more valuable than
all others put together, and that (I blush to name it)
is man himself in the person of the slave.—(Hear.)
There are but three of the articles I have mentioned
that are adapted to civilised and commercial nations as a
circulating medium, viz., gold and silver, and paper. The
question we have to consider is, which of three is best
adapted to our use as a highly civilised and commercial
people—which of the three is best calculated to represent
the industry and supply the wants of the people? Which
of the three is the true medium of exchange, giving us
value for value? In order to arrive at a conclusion, it will
be necessary to inquire into the practical working of
these different measures of value. Mark the word
" measures" of value; and though the twe former are
intrinsically valuable in themselves, yet in this sense
they are only spoken of as a measure, or standard by
which the value of all natural and artificial productions
are estimated.—(Hear.) Now, all productions are the
result of labour, and that labour man is the originator
and worker-out of. It therefore follows, as a necessary
consequence, that a working population is the capital
and wealth of a kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) We will now
examine this question in reference to land and its pro-
ductions; for it is as farmers we are called together this
day to discuss it. There are four classes having an im-
mediate and direct interest in the land, viz., the land-
owner, the occupier, the clergy, and the poor; and upon
one of these classes the maintenance of the other three
mainly depends—l mean upon the cultivators of the soil
—the tenantry.—(Hear.) It is more especially to their
interests I shall confine my observations. From 1688 to
1697 the average price of wheat was 21. 10s. Bd. per qr.
What occasioned this, at that time, enormous price, when
our population but little exceeded five-and-a-half
millions? It was a depreciated currency, occasioned by
clipping the coin; and though that mode of depreciation
was neither honourable nor justifiable, though one
which every thinking man would be sorry to see prac-
tised in the present day, still it serves to show that a
depreciated standard has a tendency to raise prices.
Silver was our standard coin then. There were three
things connected with the establishment of the Bank in

1694—the restoration of the standard (then a gold
and silver one) to the ;Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id.
and ss. 2d. per oz.; the first creation of a paper currency
and the existence of a national debt. From that period
the price of corn fell to an average of 335. 3d. till 1764
(the first fruits of a restored standard), and from that
period to 1784, it averaged 445. 7d. The reason for the
increased averages for the hilts!' period was a depreciation
of standard, and an increased paper issue. In 1792
(I quote Sir J. Graham's " Corn and Currency") the
amount of Bank of • England notes in , circulation was
11,149,8091., and the average price of wheat 435.; in
1795, the issue had increased to 13,539,1634, and the
average price of wheat to 715.; and in the year follow-
ing, though the issue had decreased to below eleven mil-
lions, yet the average rose to 765., the effect of the in-
creased issue of the previous year.—(Heard You will
here observe that the highest price of corn•was 4the
close of each of these centuries. And it strikes me as a
very remarkable fact, that they were both under revo-
lutionary wars—(Hear)—the former the English revolu-
tion from 1688 to 1,697; the latter, the French revolution,
from about the same period. I have frequently heard it
said that " it was the war that created high prices and
national,prosperity." But will any sane 'man believe
that " war—cruel, devastating, devouring war—that
scourge of humanity," could be the creator of wealth, the
cause of national prosperity.—(Haar.) No, no! Never
believe what God appointed for a nation's scourge can
ever be a nation's blessing!—(Hear, hear.) Ina 1797,
the Government began to feel that expensive war and
a metallic standard were incompatible, and could not
exist together. The gold was nearly all drained out of
the country, and the Bank of England no longer able to
redeem its paper in specie; !Ind to save its credit the
Government was obliged to interfere, and Mr. Pitt, the
then Prime Minister, introduced a measure known by
the name of the Bank Restriction Act, by which the
Bank was relieved from the liability of paying its notes
in gold.—(Hear.) Government took upon itself the
responsibility. Bank of England paper was made in-
convertible, and the issues
_were received back in taxes
and cancelled, It was this alteration of the currency that
saved the Bank, and not only the Bank but the cation
from inevitable ruin.—(Hear,) Now what was the effect
of this alteration of the circulating medium? It was this.
It gave a stimulus to industry; it developed the nation's
strength; it brought out the nation's wealth. Agricul-
ture, manufactures, and commerce flourished. Land-
lords received highly-increased rents; the working
classes were well paid, and employers realized good
profits; and though war continued, and Government de-
mands were enormous, yet the people of England were
enabled to lead their rulers 600,000,000/. of money.
And where did this money come from?—(Hear, hear)—
out of the bones and sinews and brains of an industrious,
intelligent, aed persevering people.—(Hear, hear.) I
have said it gave a stimulus to industry. Agriculture
advanced with rapid strides; immense sums were ex-
pended in the improvement of the land; from 1801 to
1820, no less than 1,677 inclosure Bills were passed,
while from 1820 to 1844 there were 358 only, though
agriculture had continued to progress in science, and our
population increased in England alone from 11,2614,37
in 1821, to 14,995,138 in 1841.—(Hear, hear.) Now
what was the cause of this great falling off ? Was
it that industry had exhausted itself ? that the people
had become indolent? No; it was the effect produced
by Peel's Bill of 1819. By this Act the Bank Re-
striction Act was annihilated, under which a debt of
600,000,0004 had been contracted under a depreci-
ated currency of at least 30 per cent. below the
standard fixed by this Bill.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
By this Act the Goeernment bound itself to pay 30
per cent. more in hard cash than it actually borrowed.
Now, was ever a grosser injustice perpetrated upon the
productive industry of a kingdom?—(Hear, hear.) And
by none of the industrial classes is this injustice felt
more than by the tenant-farmer.—(Hear, hear.) This
enormous debt was contracted- when the average price of
wheat was above 80s. per quarter ; it is true it was
under a paper currency; but by a resolution in Parlia-
ment in 1811 the 11. note was affirmed to be of 20s.
value, and as far as we were concerned it was so, for it
passed current and was received in taxes for 20s. (See
" Corn and Currency," p. 76.) Then eight bushels of
wheat represented an ounce of gold ; now it requires
sixteen—consequently requires sixteen to pay what eight
borrowed—both principal and interestl—(llear.) Can
it bo said that one is equivalent to the other? And not
only the debt, the interest of which cost us 27,702,8801.
10s. 6d. last year, but all other fixed payments are cal-
culated upon the same basis, and are required to be paid
upon the same standard. In 1815 the Corn Bill was
passed, in anticipation of retnrning to cash payments—
that is, in order to reconcile the landed interest to the
change, and protect them from the ruin in which a
gold standard and restricted currency would inevitably
involve all the other productive classes.—(Hear.) Now
this Corn Bill was to give the landed interest the mo-
nopoly of the English market up to 80s. a quarter; and
they blindly imagined this Act of Parliament price was
to be realised, their rents to be maintained, and their in-
terests to suffer no diminution by the change.—(Hear.)
But how soon were their eyes opened! The diminution
of the circulating medium began to work its effects im-
mediately; prices fell rapidly; thousands of tenants were
ruined; and misery and destitution stalked through the
land. This, too, in 1815, 1816, and this only in anti-
cipation of a return to cash payments; and had it not
been for a renewal of the Bank Restriction Act, national
bankruptcy must have occurred.—(Hear.) The total
number of bankruptcies in 1815 were 1,285, and in 1816,
2,029. (See "Corn and Currency," page 36.) But how long
did this prosperity continue? In 1819, as I have said
before, Peel's Bill was passed, by which the ancient
standard of value was restored, viz., gold to 3/. 17s,
10id. per oz., and gold only made the standard of
value—the highest standard a nation can possibly have,
and one which added 30 per cent. to our liabilities, and
deprived us of 50 per cent. of our means of payment .
(Hear.) Witness its effect in 1822, when it only came

and 225. sd. less than in 1817; but in 1822 the circula-
tion was reduced to 25,839,9771., or nearly 50 per cent.,
and the price of wheat to 445. 7d. per quarter—more than
cent. per cent. below its value in 1817.—(11ear.) Yet
we had 3,607,717/. more to pay in taxes in that year—
for the revenue, the produce of taxation, paid into the
Exchequer in 1817 was 52,055,9131., and in 1832
55,663,650/. Now, supposing this revenue to have been
paid in wheat, at the aveelatrnsasgveeorfpypriacce of each year—(and
"corn," according to Mr. Homer, "is the permanent
standard of value")—it would have required, in 1817,
10,472,406, and in 1822, 24,970,609 quarters of wheat,

an increase of paper was isfram; and the plague was
stayed—but only to bredi out again with increased
violence, and, this occasioned by want of precaution on
the part -of-Government—fur, iu permitting this in-
B)-eased issue of paper, they neglected to re-enact the
nk Restriction Act. The Bank, therefore, remained
liable to pay its notes in geld; so that, in the event of
the foreign exchanges being against us, the Bank would
be obliged in self-defence to contract its issues of paper,
not having gold wherewith to cash it on demand. In
1825 the demand of gold for exportation was con-
siderable; foreign exchanges were against us, and
4,417,0921. had been exported before ~the ehd
of January. The directors became alarmed,
and by sale of Exchequer-bills to the amount
of 670,0001., withdrew 31 per cent. of their
whole issues...from circulation. Now, this sum does
not seen to be a great deal to be withdrawn; but mark
its effect. It showed a falling credit; money became
scarce; the country bankers, for want of accommodation,
became alarmed; a panic occurred; and a rush was made
to the banks, and ruin, irretrievable ruin, was the con-
sequence. Nor were the effects of this panic less rui-
nous to the agriculture, trade, and commerce of the
country than it was to the banks. (Having quoted what
Sir James' Graham save upon this convulsion in his
" Corn and Currency,'' pages 6u and 61, Mr. Gimsc,n
continued.) Such were the consequences of a contracted
currency and gold standard in 1825 G. Under this
standard we still remain rivetted and secured by Peel's
Bill of 1844—labouring under greater difficulties, and
suffering under greater injustice, than we then expe-
rienced; fur at that time we had the protection of a corn-
law—at least in appearance, though not in reality—
(l-Isar'—fur it did nut perform that which it promised to
do, viz., maintain wheat at 80s. per quarter. But it did
one thing for us; it caused all our fixed payments to be
calculated and paid upon that price.—(Hear.) The
corn-law is repealed—with what degree of justice I leave
others to determine—(Hear, hear)—our payments re-
main undiminished; and it takes more of a farmer's ca-
pital (corn) to pay his taxes now, than it did in the
highest year of taxation during the war, or at any time
either before or since.—(Hear, hear.) The highest
amount of taxes paid into the revenue was 72,210,512 in
1815, and it took 22,029,994 quarters of wheat to pay it
at 655. 7d. per quarter; in 1849 the revenue was
52,951,7491., and it took 23,932,993 quarters of corn to
pay it, at 445. 3d. per quarter.—(Hear, hear.) See how
fully Sir J. Graham's predictions are verified.—(Hear,
hear.) Now, brother farmers, this state of things can-
not continue.—(Hear, hear.) We cannot feed the people
and pay the taxes entirely at our own cost and charges.
If we are to continue occupiers of the soil, and main-
tain that station in society, as a class, we have hitherto
occupied, we must either reduce our expenditure below
our income, or we must raise our income above our ex-
penditure.—(Hear, hear.) One of these things must be
done, or we must be annihilated as a class. But we will
not submit without a struggle—(Hear)—we will, not
expire without making an effort to pull down that false
standard under which we have so long struggled.—
(Hear, hear.) Let this be a year of jubilee, in which
the fettered industry of the country shall be set free, and
man be allowed to reap the just reward of his labour.—
(Applause.) When (I speak with reverence) the Al-
mighty pronounced the curse upon man in sin, it was
in these words—" In the sweat of thy brow shall thou
eat bread;" but what says man, practically, to his fel-
low-man? " Thou shalt labour in the sweat of thy brow,
but thou shalt not be a partaker of the fruits of thy la-
bour; and though you are worthy of your hire, still it
shall be withheld."—(Hear.) I leave it with you, my
friends, to make the application. We have free trade in
corn—we must have free trade in money.—(Hear.) The
resolution I hold in my hand states, and I fully concur
in the statement

" That a Government issue of paper, representing in
value 20s. and upwards, guaranteed by the national
taxes ; and also an issue of paper by local banks, repre-
senting in value 20s. and upwards, guaranteed by secu-
rities deposited with the Government, would greatly tend
to lighten the pressure of taxation, and increase legiti-
mately the prosperity of the productive industry of -the
country."

A men-sure of this kind would do much towards mitigat-
ing our suffering. It would make money, or the circu-
lating medium of a country, what it ought to be—a mea-
sure of value; the servant, not the master of commerce.
It would represent real capital—Labour, and become the
medium of exchange for the product of that labour of
whatever kind, giving value for value received, enabling
every industrious man to support himself and family is
ease and comfort by the labour of his hands, and giving
him opportunity of improving his social, moral, and
physical condition—thereby fitting him to fulfil all the
duties of life in that station in which it has pleased God
to place Lim.—(Applause.)
Mr. GOODE, of Heather, seconded the resolution,
which was carried unanimously.
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN moved the third resolution, ad-
journing this meeting to the 22d of January, 1851.
During the interval he hoped his brother•farmera
would make themselves mere intimately acquainted with
this and every other subject connected with their welfare.
Mr. MAYNE seconded the resolution ; before putting
which,

The CHAIRMAN observed, that he hoped the members
of the association would again have their attention
turned to the important topics which had occupied them
in the last session, and the discussion of which had ex-
cited so much interest throughout the country.—(Hear.)
The resolution was theft carried unanimously; and
after a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman for the
steady interest he manifested in the welfare and useful-
ness of the association, the meeting separated.

The Russian officers of the corvette at Devonport
have been permitted to visit the dockyard.
Paymaster Balhechet (1821) died on Saturday
last, in his 66th year. He was formerly Lieutenant
of Rua} Marines, and served at the reduction of the
Danish West Indian islands and capture of Hault-
poult, and acted as adjutant to the Marine battalion
at the reduction of Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Subsequently he was secretary to various flag-officers,
particularly to Sir W. Cochrane in the operations in
the Chesapeake, New Orleans, &c.
Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain M'Dougal, is naW
alongside her hulk, the Blake, at Portsmouth, getting
ready for sea immediately. She is reported to be.
ready by the 7th inst.
Phrcton, 50, Captain George Elliot, received her
new foremast on Saturday, and on Monday was taken
into the angla dock for repair and caulking. Her port
quarter gallery has been struck and much shaken by
a sea, and requires replacing. She will come out of
dock again next Saturday, and out of the basin on
Monday, and will soon after be ready for sea. She is
refitting her rigging in dock. A number of naval
men and others have visited this fine frigate, which
does so much credit to Mr. White, of Cowes, her
constructor, and Mr. Wilcox, the master shipwright'
of Deptford dockyard, under whose superintendence
she was laid down and built. No vessel has yet come
near her in sailing, especially in a wind.
Sprightly, steam-tender, Master Commander Allen,
sailed from Portsmouth for Plymouth yesterday,
taking about 50 supernumeraries for the Albion, 90 ;
these men were chiefly entered at Liverpool, and
were sent to Portsmouth through London. It would
have been a saving of time and expense had they
been sent via Bristol and Great Western Railway,
direct from Liverpool to Plymouth. The Sprightly
has also taken to Plymouth a carriage and some lug-
gage for Captain Rich, the superintendent of the
hospital.
Waterwitch, 8, Commander Quin, left St. Helens,
Oct. 23, for Ascension and Sierra Leone, to collect
the mails for England.
The Fisgard, flag-ship at Woolwich, was paid
off yesterday and re-commissioned by Commodore
Henry Eden, superintendent of the dockyard. The
Black Eagle and the Lightning steam-vessels were paid
off at the same time, and on the Lightning being re-
commissioned by Master-Commander Petley, he wa's
ordered, with his officers and crew, to be borue otr
the books of the Fisgard. The Black Eagle was pre-
viously borne on the books of the Fisgard, and still
continues attached to that vessel.

Lieutenant Penrose, C. Penrose, Royal Marines,
with twenty-five non-commissioned officers and men,
joined the Woolwich division on the Fisgard being'
paid off; and Lieutenant Richard King Clevell, with
a similar number of non-commissioned officers of the
Royal Marines, joined on board the Fisgard, when
she was re-commissioned. A very great alteration
has also been made in other respects with regard to
the re-commissioning of the Fisgard, as the whole of
the officers and crews of the vessels employed on the
surveying service on the coasts of England, Scotland,
and Ireland, and the packet-service, under Captain
William L. Sheringham, are to be borne on the books
of the Fisgard, instead of the Ocean, at Sheerness,
the Victory, at Portsmouth, the Impregnable, at Do•
vonport, and the Ajax steam quardship, at Cork.
The Agnes, hired barque, landed a cargo of Galli-
poli oil yesterday at this dockyard from Italy.
Post-Captain Wolff, Lieutenant E. Krieger, Lieu-
tenant Beck, and Lieutenant W. Carstensen, officers
of the Danish navy, the former commander, and the
others serving on board the Geiser, war-steamer, at
present in the East India Docks at Blackwell, from
Copenhagen, visited Woolwich Dockyard to-day, and
were conducted all over the departments by Flag-
Lieutenant Gore. They also went on board the
Royal Albert, 120 guns, and remained some time in-
specting that vessel.
The Agamemnon, 80 guns, building, and to be
fitted with a screw-propeller with engines of 400-
horse power, has had two divisions of shipwrights
put Lupon her during the present week, to forward
her works ; and, as the timbers are converted into
the requisite shape at the saw-mills, the forty-five
shipwrights employed upon her will snake considerable
progress.
Lieutenant Robert Robertson, additional of the
Fisgard, in charge of the steam department afloat et
this dockyard, was paid off yesterday, and re-appointed
to the same duty_!
