BOROUGH OF BURY SAINT EDMUNDS.
T OND ON AND NORWICH DIRECT
. RAILWAY THROUGH BURY SAINT EDMUNDS
AND THETFORD.

At a meeting of the Inhabitants of the Borough of Bury Saint
Edmunds, duly convened by the Mayor, and held at the Guildhall
of the said Borough on Saturday, the 23d of November, 1844,

The MAYOu. In the Chair.

Resolved,—That in accordance with' the Resolution of the
meeting of the Western Division of the County of Suffolk, held at
the Shire Hall, on Wednesday, the 18th of September last, it is the
opinion of this meeting, that the London and Norwich Direct
Railway, proceeding from the Norwieh and Brandon line at Thet•
ford, through Bury Saint Edmunds, to join the Northern and
Eastern Railway at Stanstead, is best adapted to the interests of
this town and neighbonrhood ; and that the other projected lines
in connexion with this Borough, are net only uncalled for, but
injurious.
That a memorial to the above effect be prepared for signa.
ture, and that the Members for the Western Division of this
County, and the Members of the Borough, be requested to ac.
company a deputation, for the purpose of presenting it to her
Majesty's Board of Trade; and that they be also requested to give,
in Parliament, to " the London and Norwich Direct Railway,"
their strenuous and undivided support_

On the motion of F. K. EAOLB. Esq., seconded by Captain
HunasllD, R.N., it:was also resolved unanimously—That the thanks
of the meeting be given to the Mayor for his readiness in con-
vening the meeting, and for his able and impartial conduct in the
Chair. JOSEPH HANBY HOLMES, Town Clerk.
IT follows from the recent investigations of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science, as
reported in the Athenaeum of October 19, that the quantity of
light furnished by one pound of PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES
requires for its production four pounds of ordinary tallow ones; and,
therefore, that the farmer, if at two shillings per lb., would be
exactly as economical as the latter at sixpence per lb. Now,
PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES are not sold at two shillings per
lb., but at or under One Shilling per lb.
They may be had of respectable dealers throughout the king.
dom, if care be taken to prevent any imitations being passed off as
the Patent Candles ; and the Trade may obtain them wholesale
from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and Palmer and
Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

raost genial nature, removing every trace of sallowness and disco.
louration, and promoting the transparency and brightness of the

To prevent all future questions as to the validity of policies, this
Company are prohibited by their deed of constitution from disput-
ing any claim, unless they take upon themselves to prove that the
policy upon which the claim arises was obtained by fraudulent mis.
representation.

The Company are further bound to give effect to every policy,
although the debt for which it may have been originally procured,
or at any time held, may have been paid off before the claim arises.
And that the value of policies may not be lessened or destroyed
by parties going beyond the limits usually prescribed, the Company
grant, upon payment of a small extra premium, general or whole
world leave, whieh subsists during the currency of the policy.
By these means the policies of the London, Edinburgh, and
Dublin Life Company have come to be considered as forming secu.
rities more complete and more easily negotiable than any other
similar documents.

Assurances are granted either with or without participation in
profits, and the utmost facility is given in regard to the payment of
the premiums, by the assured having the option of pa, ment by a
progressive ascending scale, or according to the half premium
system, continued for seven years.
Prospectuses and schedules are forwarded to applicants, free of
expense, by the Manager and Agents.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The question of allotments is now going
the round of the counties. Its discussion appears to
ease the conscience of the landowner, and cast a gleam
of hope over the condition of the labourer. While
there is talk, there is some promise of doing. Mean-
while the labourer is speaking, not in meetings, not
in speeches and pamphlets, not in distinct plans of
any kind, but occasionally in blind and desperate
revenges, oftener more silently and solemnly by
famine, sickness, and death. To judge from the un-
impassioned tone of " landowners, clergy, and tenant-
farmers," one might suppose the world standing still
while the labourer's cause was heard and nature had
agreed to suspend all her changeful operations. But,
like the ship-load of ice which melted, while the
Custom-house officer was ascertaining its place in the
tariff, the labourer minishes continually, and is be-
coming a very small man indeed. We who see him
already half melted, can scarcely picture him in the
fair proportions he once enjoyed, or at least could
once attain to. The full-grown cottager, the man
who, after a youth of in-door service, could invest
his little savings in a little stock, and with a little
land, or a little right of pasture, was a little farmer,
as like a great one as a sapling oak is to the monarch
of the woods, is extinct. The croft, the orchard, the
common, the cow or two, and its lesser accompani-
ments, have all passed away. The labourer is now a
labourer indeed, and nothing more. He is plucked
of his once decent plumage, and is the biped implume
of the philosopher. And he continues to waste. The
present generation is a hopeless case. IVe may al-
most give it up for dead. But what is to be
done with the next ? Of the unborn there is hope.
That there should be any discussion at all on the
subject is hopeful. It cannot be supposed that the
I hyriads who for their slender pittance of beans and
onions teijed and perished at the Pyramids would
have continued their fruitless labour, if there had
been the smallest variety of sentiment as to the value
of those structures and the necessity of their own
case. But at present the discussion on the case of the
English labourer does not proceed in the most profit-
able form. There is no attempt to elicit, gather, and
reconcile facts. The labourer, his cottage, his wages,
his employment, the value of his produce, his propor-
tion thereof; and all the circumstances of his condi-
tion, are not put into the crucible of inquiry, and left
to show their own results, whatever they may happen
to be. The investigation is of a much less searching
character. It is limited to the benefits of certain defi-
nite proposals. Is it advisable to go about persuading
or forcing the collective landowner to let certain small
portions of land to the labourers ? There could
hardly be imagined a more conventional way of con-
sidering the popular distress. Use, however, there
is in all inquiries. The man who looks for silver
may find lead, and the alchemists discovered how to
purify metals when they were thinking of nothing
but transmutation. So is there use in all social
researches and expedients. A proposition to enlarge
or rebuild the labourer's cottage, to provide him with
a better description of household furniture, with a
clock, with more frequent change of linen, or a decent
hat and pair of shoes, or maintenance for an ass or a
cat, or a pianoforte, or any other accession to his
comforts, would not fail to elicit his hardships and
difficulties; and would be profitable in that way, if
not otherwise. The allotment scheme is of so artifi-
cial a character as to be really unintelligible without
reference to some remarkable peculiarities of our so-
cial state. It is a proposition to let land to la-
bourers. What hinders the letting? Cannot they
pay rent ? or will they not ? On the contrary, the
labourer will generally pay much more rent than the
farmer. When the Coryphaeus of economists declined
to lot land for sd. a lug when he could get Bd. for
it, he was not speaking with reference to the general
demand for land; he could not get his Bd. a lug from
farmers ; his supposed customers were a small genera-
tion of men who reckon land by lugs instead of acres,
to whom it is the greatest of boons to get the smallest
bit to call their own, but whom it is, unhappily, the
apparent interest of the farmer and landowner to deprive
of that small boon. His Lordship committed the
singular inconsistency of speaking the language of
political economy on an artificial supposition.
Descending from the open market of nations, he
applied its principles to the close market of a parish.
He addressed himself to the forced and unnatural
demand of a crowd of parochial serfs, who would
outbid one another to the very gates of death,
because they had always been rigorously excluded
from it at any price, as if it were a natural correla-
tive to the intrinsic value of that land, and resulted
freely and simply from the public competition.
The allotment discussion, therefore, involves inquiry
in tlis remarkable fact, that while the labourer is
willing to give a good rent for land he cannot
get it, but must be backed by a public agitation in
his demand. Whole counties are summoned with
the charitable intention of allowing labourers to give
enormous rents for miserable patches of soil. If the
two Gracchi were shaking the empire to its basis
for an agrarian law to parcel our dukeries amongst
our surplus population, there could not be more
fuss, more extravagance of hope, more rigour of
opposition, more earnestness
,of debate, than we now
witness on the simple question whether they who till
the soil may be allowed to rent not near a hundredth
part of it for their own special use. The fight, the
eloquence, the economical caution, the self-interested
demur, the legislative wisdom, are—for what ?—for
ten acres, may be, out of two thousand. At the next
county or district meeting on this subject, we wish
some inquisitive gentleman would just ask what
makes the importance of this question. How comes
it that the distribution of ten acres out of two thou-
sand has become an affair to convoke counties and
harass the Legislature ? Why is the whole press of
the country to be moved, and the abstrusest theories
to be waked from the depths of intellect, before a
ploughman is to be suffered to pay 20s. yearly for his
quarter acre of potatoes and cabbages ? What would
be thought of such a controversy in the neighbouring
nations ? In France, the Reforme observes, that an
idea may be formed of the number of fractional parts
into which property is divided by the following facts :
—There are in France 5,205,411 properties on which
the land-tax is rated at sums not exceeding sf.i
5,242,846 at from sf. to 100 f., and, in fine, there are
445,271 which exceed 100 f. Who would think of
an allotment agitation there, where a man can get
any quantity of land to his taste as readily as he can
buy so many pounds of bread or ounces of coffee and
sugar ?
HERALD.—As the year draws to its close, as
Cabinet Councils begin to assemble weekly, and as
the period for the actual meeting of Parliament must
soon be fixed, the attention of the public begins to
he drawn to the question which usually follows :
" And what will Parliament do when it meets ?"
Under a weak and incapable Government this ques-
tion is generally asked with some degree of anxiety.

A " squeezable Administration" may look forward
with tolerable certainty to the application of " pres-
sure from without," and both its friends and its
enemies must naturally regard with some disquietude
the probable result of the squeezing process. It is
one proof of the more firm and stable character of
the present Government, that the one point to which
men s minds seem just now to he directed, is, " What
taxes are likely to be taken off ?" People have left
off talking of " organic changes ;" the Chartists are
almost extinct; the " suffrage movement" moves not;
even the League is content to " look to the regis-
tration," and to anticipate great things from the
Revising Barristers' Courts of October, 1845 ; no-
thing, in short, is now heard of, in the way of
politics, but questions of finance and trade—Bra-
zilian sugar, the New Zealand Company, or the
German Zollverein. And, as to Parliament, as we
have already observed, the chief thing people seem to
expect or desire at its hands, is, the passing of a good
many railway Bills and the remission of a few of the
taxes. Now, on the latter point, we are not going to
dispute any proposition so entirely self-evident as that
all taxes, in themselves, are " atrocious," " abomin-
able," and, above all, exceedingly unpleasant. But
while all this is undeniable, the Government, be it
Whig or Tory, may safely plead in its own excuse
that it is called to administer the affairs of a nation
which has undertaken in various ways to pay about
fifty millions per annum ; and that one of its first
duties evidently is, to see that means are found to
meet this great annual liability. Hence it follows,
that as the revenue, only lately recovered from the
effects of Whig quackery, exhibits but a certain
moderate surplus, that remission of taxation for which
people are so eagerly looking can take place only
within the limits so marked out. Do men gene-
rally desire the termination of the property-tax ?
If they do, then are they not acting irrationally
in assembling together in great numbers, to call
for the remission of the duty on cotton, upon tea,
and upon various other things now talked of?
So much so, that we cannot help considering a
meeting called to petition for the remission of this or
that duty, to be, in effect, a meeting for the con-
tinuance of the property-tax. We do not for an in-
stant question the desirableness of the remission of the
duty on raw cotton, on malt, or on tea. Nor can it
be denied that the duty on insurances is one of a most
objectionable character. Of all the various modes of
internal taxation, this, perhaps, is the very worst.
Now, we have no manner of doubt that it would give
the greatest satisfaction to the Government, as well as
widely extend their popularity, were it in their power
to propose the extinction of, or a large reduction in,
all these duties. But they must not, and they will
not, follow in the steps of the Whigs, by reducing
duties for popularity's sake, until the revenue proves
inadequate to meet the public engagements, and a
gradual but constant increase is obliged to be made in
the nation's debt. What we desire, then, to urge
upon all petitioners for, and all talkers about, these
expected reductions of various duties, is, first to settle
what they would have done with the property-tax.
If they mean to expect its entire extinction, then it is
perfectly unreasonable to look for anything beyond
that. But if they are content to keep the property-
tax, provided the tax on cotton, on malt, or on tea is
got rid of, then they ought very plainly and explicitly
to say so.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FLOM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAL

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10iii. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25
421; and the exchange at Paris on London at shoe t
being 25 it follows that gold is 0.59 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.

By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4841
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10i-d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 94 ;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 101, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer
iu London than in llamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London it
110+ per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng,
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the
above difference.

The brokers are making up their account for the
settlement in the English market, which takes place
on Thursday. Consols are at a degree of firmness
which is not participated in by the other English
securities. They are the only stock of any importance,
th dividends of which, under the new arrangements,
will be payable in January, and hence a special demand
for them arises among the public. On the other hand,
in the heavy stocks, sales have been effected on account
of some Scotch firms, and the market for these is weaker.
The quotation for Consols for Money and the Account
is 1001, and the stock is felt to be somewhat scarce.

Ales-ars. Rogers and Co., the parties upon whom the
large robbery has been committed, have received this
afternoon a letter from the Home-office, stating that Sir
J. Graham has recommended to her Majesty the free
pardon of any accomplice engaged in this transaction, so
as to lead to the apprehension of the others.
Among the methods proposed for enabling the issuing
bankers to evade the late banking Act, mentioned under
this head, was one in which a "letter of credit" was to
be the instrument employed. It has been assumed that
this method is legal, but a reference to the Stamp Act
(55 George 111., c. 184) shows that it is more than pro-
bable that letters of credit, if unstamped, are liable to
the same penalties as post-dated cheques. The words
of the Act are these :—" All receipts given by any
banker or bankers, or other person or persons, for money
received, which shall entitle, or be intended to entitle,
the person or persons paying the money, or the bearer
of such receipts, to receive the like sum from any third
person or persons, shall be deemed and taken to be an
inland bill within the meaning of this schedule, and be
liable to the same duty as on a bill of exchange for the
like sum payable to bearer or order." If these words
include "letters of credit," which it seems they do, it
will be well for bankers to use caution before they em-
ploy them as a substitute for notes payable on demand.
The state of the Stamp Law, with respect to bankers,
seems to be in a vague and unsatisfactory state ' • and
that useful publication, the Bankers' Magazine, has lately
been collecting information connected with the subject,
of which the above is a part.
The other plan of evading the law, by issuing bills
at sight for fixed amounts to the partner or cashier
of a bank, with an endorsement in blank, is considered
by a correspondent as likely to expire of its own ac-
cord. A large_number of them soon find their way into
the hands of rival bankers and others, who specially en •
dorse them to their London agents, and these iu a few
days return upon the hands of the first issuers, totally
uieless for the purpose of re-issue.
As it is not generally known that Bank of England
notes are a legal tender in Scotland and Ireland, a Trea•
sury minute, dated the 12th of November, 1836, to
which our attention has been called, is highly valuable.
It is there expressly declared as the opinion of the law
officers of the Crown, that the Act 3 and 4 William
IV., c. 98, applies to Scotland and Ireland, so as to
make Bank of England notes of 5/. and upwards a legal
tender in those countries. This opinion leaves the
question open as to whether the Bank of England could
issue 1/. notes in Scotland and Ireland, where that low
denomination is not prohibited. It is said that some
of the Scotch banks have been so much impressed
with the belief that the Bank of England has this
power, that they have made application for 11. notes
to that institution. These, we understand, were at once
rejected.
In the Gazette of last Friday was inserted a return of
the average atmunt of the circulation of notes in Scot-
land and Ireland for the four weeks ending the 9th of
November. This return is published under the 4th and
sth Victoria, cap. 50 (the Act passed in 1841), which
formerly included the average of the circulation of the
Bank of England, the private and joint-stock banks in
England, and the Scotch and Irish
_banks. The return
published in the Gazettes of September 27 and October
25 omitted the Bank of England return, as being now
unnecessary, but contained the averages of the English
private and joint-stock banks in the usual form. The
present return omits these latter items also, thus leaving
only the Scotch and Irish banks.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE AT

GLASGOW.

On Thursday night, Mr. A. Stevenson Dalglish
was entertained at a public dinner, by the subscribers
to the Wellington Statue, recently erected in Glas-
gow, and others, " who were desirous to testify to
that gentleman the deep sense which they entertain
of the valuable services he has rendered to the city
and the west of Scotland, by the untiring zeal,
ability, perseverance, and courtesy, which he all along
displayed as Convener of the Committee of Sub-
scribers, and which so greatly contributed to bring
the undertaking to a successful completion." The
dinner took :place in the Trades' Hall, and was at-
tended by fully three hundred gentlemen, who may
be said to have comprised the very elite f our com-
munity. The Earl of Glasgow filled the chair, sup-
ported on the right by Mr. Dalglish, the guest of
the evening, the Rev. Dr. M'Leod, Sir James Camp-
bell, Mr. Lockhart, M.P., &c., &c.

After the usual loyal toasts, the Noble Chairman
said—lt is with the greatest pleasure that I now rise
to propose the next toast—the health of our worthy
friend and honoured and respected guest, Mr. Dal-
glish.—(Applause, which lasted for several minutes.)
Gentlemen, though the especial purpose of our meet-
ing this evening is to express our high approbation of
the conduct of Mr.Walglish, as the Convener of the
Committee of the Wellington Statue, and to offer him
a mark of our respect and gratitude for the great ex-
ertions he has made during its progress, and until its
completion—(Hear, hear)—though this, I say, is the
avowed object of our meeting, I think we may be fairly
permitted somewhat to exceed the prescribed limit and
take a more general view of a character, which the more
it is examined the more it will be found worthy of our
respect and admiration. Gentlemen, as Convener of the
Committee of the Wellington Statue, Mr. Dalglish had
an arduous task imposed upon him ; and no man could
possess more eminently those qualities necessary for
bringing that task to an efficient termixation. The
difficulties he had to contend with were numerous,
and at times vexatious ; but he met them firmly, tem-
perately, and with a conciliation and courtesy well
calculated to disarm opposition. lie never permitted
any adverse circumstance to discourage him in car-
rying out the object he had in view—the comple-
tion of that statue, and its erection in the most fa-
vourable site. That has been accomplished, and
though delay has occurred, which was inevitable and
unforseen, it was, we know, the result purely of ac-
cident, and still it has been erected in a shorter time
than is usually necessary for the completion of works
of this description. I beg, therefore, to propose the
health of Mr. Dalglish, our honoured guest, and from
the feelings you have already displayed, I know you
will receive it in Ole manner so well deserves. (The
- -
