TIIE OPERATION OF THE TARIFF.

THE BOYLE FAlR.—This fair was held here to-day.
The prices obtained by the few persons who sold
have proved most disheartening. There was an ex-
tensive supply of cattle ; but the prices offered did
not generally amount to the sum paid for the same
stock last November or May. The only lot of bul-
locks which we heard were sold were those belonging
to Mr. Denis. This gentleman disposed of 20 (out
of a lot of 30) at 10/. 7s. 6d. each, althoug.h he re-
fused, on the 4th of April last, 11/. ss. each for the
entire lot. Fat sheep sold at from 355. to 40s. ;
lambs, from 18s. to 225. ; milch cows, from 8/. to 10/. ;
fat cows, from 8/. to 9/. A few horses were disposed
of at from 8/. to 201. Pigs were very low. Wool
brought 16s. per stone.—Boyle Gazette.
LISBURN PAIR.—The autumn fair of Lisburn was
held yesterday. The show of horses was greatly in-
ferior to that of other years. There were a few hand.-
some young horses, adapted for saddle or harness,
offered for sale, but most of the buyers of the
English market having gone to the great fair of Bal-
linasloe, very few, even of the lowest description,
changed hands. The show of cattle in Smithfield
market was very large. Owing, however, to the
curious feeling at present existing between the farmer
and dealer, comparatively trifling sales were effected.
Some prime springers went off at from 101. to 121.
Fat heifers were in pretty good demand, and brought
fair prices • but inferior cattle of all descriptions
were scarcely looked at, and were disposed of at very
low rates.

ORCIIARD.—This fair was held on Monday last.
There was a very large show of sheep and lambs, and
a good supply of horned cattle. The fair, on the
whole, ruled dull, owing to the continued provalence of
distemper as well as the tariff, both contributing; to
keep back buyers. Prices ranged as follows :—Si ;ore
wethers, 255. to 345.: maiden ewes, 265. to 3. as.;
lambs, 335. (top price) ; tups, 3/. to 10 guineas. _Fat
cattle scarce and dull. _Mich cows scarce; such as
appeared sold well. Well bred Durham heifers, mie

year and a half old, fetched from 4/. to 61. 10s.; wean-
lings ditto, from V. 10s. to 41. 10s. The principal
part of the stock exhibited was very superior. At this
fair, and that of Castledermot a few days previously,
the best stock sold at a reduction of fully 3/. per head,
and inferior nearly one-half less than this time twelve
months, with considerable difficulty of making sales
even at this reduction.—Kilkenny Journal.
NEWCASTLE.-At the fair of Newcastle on Monday
there was rather a small show of stock ; fat cows
were scarce and rated from 8/. to 11/. ; milch cows
averaged from 71. to 101. 10s. ; weanling calves, 21. to
to 21. 10s. • sheep, 19s. to 545. ; weighty bacon pigs
in very bad demand, but light ones were purchased at
325. to 355. ; store pigs, 255. to 40s.—Limerick
Chronicle.

FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
LHeEttUerfsadl AdTrelsSseNdl,bTy ITCreDvoOr LHOZEndU
X, &c.
Copy of a ,
Surgeon,
R
of Carmeck, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the " Times:"—
" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public te make known
the efficacy if a remedy which I met with accidentally,
n
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
rn'i,
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated'
and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and edematous' and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attaeks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and te the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had ne spasm that night, ner have I had one since. The next
morning I came sown stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
new rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
ne medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In editing my testimony te Alr. Feaver's Embrocation, 1 am ac-
twitted by uo other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire te snake known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape •f quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
•'I am, your obedient servant.
" TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.

Carmeck, near Walsall, Staffordshire.
" P.B. At the various consultations held upsn my case, the
Surgeons anal ilohysiciams (including myself) were decidedly ef
opinien that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter•
m►nate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have
Tint
had the slightest symptoms .f spasms since the first application
of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H."
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious
in any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;
or from the Preprmtor, Mr, Ferrer, 16, Ludgate-hill, London.

lIER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—We are
requested to correct a misstatement which appeared
in our paper of Thursday, in reference to her Ma-
jesty's return from Scotland on board the General
Steam Navigation Company's superb vessel the Tri-
dent, and the non-reward of the people on board on
that occasion. It was erroneously stated that no
presents were distributed, and the omission was im-
puted to the forgetfulness of her. Majesty's purse-
bearer—a circumstance altogether unsual. ith regard
to the stewardess in attendance on her Majesty, we
understand that the Managing Director of the General
Steam Navigation Company was requested by her
Majesty, with her usual.consideration, to remunerate
her for her services and attention in the most hand-
some manner ; and we are glad to learn that the
Royal pleasure in that respect has been properly
attended to.

East; M. MOUCHELET, an engineer, in the ser-
vice of MEHEMET ALI ; M. JULES ROMAIN, a
young • Orientalist, and several other travellers,
came passengers on board the Nile.
The following- interesting extract is from the
Gazette de France :

France, whose coasts are bathed by four seas, to
which Nature ht's given magnificent harbours, rivers
accessible to large vessels, a coast of 1,600 kilometres
from Dunkirk to Bayonne, and from Antibes to Port
Vendres, which a century ago possessed Canada,
Louisiania, St. Domingo, and Guiana, in America,
the Isle of France, and Madagascar, in Africa, and
almost the whose coast of India, in Asia, has now de-
clined from this splendour, and holds only the fourth
place among the Colonial Powers. It has not a port
in the Indian Ocean. England enjoys the monopoly
of steam navigation in the Red Sea. Martinique,
which ought to be the entrepot of all the French com-
merce in the Gulf of Mexico, is going to ruin in our

hands. The bay of Fort Royal, one of the finest
naval stations in the Antilles, is neglected. The Isle
of Bourbon is destitute. We are hardly beginning to

What has Portugal become g Spain was effaced from
the list of naval powers on the day that she lost her
possessions in America and Asia, where she suffered
herself to be stripped of her equatorial empire. On
the other hand, look at England, the most complete

How has she suffered for her indefatigable ardour ?
She obtained the maritime and colonial sceptre of the
world. Her manufactures have increased in propor-
tion to her conquests and her commerce. She has
bound nations to her by the most solid ties—those of

necessary (se fatal), that it cannot be destroyed with-

VEIVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, Sec.
Copy •f a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon,
of Cannock, near Walsall, S•affordshire, en the ith July last,
to the Editor of the " Times :"

" Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to thozuthbliatemake known
accidentally,if and
the efficacy of a remedy which I met
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself.
months ago I met with a very severs accident, ?'iaeving Bne
dislo-
cated and fractured ray ancle severely. From the great
tender-
ness of the joist I was quite unable to walk, the limb
tinned very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered.
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms is the night, which
extended from the ascle t• the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arras. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—thee to adopt sea-
bathing. lay accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, tho swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Air. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
Witted by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
je--ers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against e,-,trythinF in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to up.:'°l.Ct
a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a n.:*
farious traffic and humbug.

" P. S. At the various censuitations held up3n my case, the
Surgeons an physicians (including reYaelf) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I here not

BALLINASLOE FAIR.

A .correspondent, writing on the 6th inst., says,
"The sheep fair is now over, and the prices for good
stock cannot, after all, be complained of: in inferior
_sheep, however, there was a great reduction. The
numbers exhibited were only about 7,000 less than
last year. This day there was a good display of
horses, and some brought high prices." The follow-
ing apparently carefully-computed statement of the
result of the sheep fair is given by the correspondent
of the Mercantile Advertiser:—

" BALLINASLOE, OCT. 6.—1 have succeeded in ob
taining the most accurate information of the sheep
fair on Tuesday and yesterday. I shall begin by
contrasting the returns of the last and the pre-
sent year :
" Number sold the 4th and sth October, 1841 69,438
" Unsold 7,061

" Total
" Number sold the 4th and sth October, 1842
" Unsold 12,177

" Total 74,586

"The final results will not be recorded until the
end of the week, as further sales of sheep, of an in-
ferior description, will take place up to Saturday.
Top wethers and ewes, in very good condition,
brought nearly last year's prices. Mr. Robert
D'Arcy, of Woodville, Loughrea, sold 1,300 wethers,
at prices varying from 41s. to 515., and. he states that
he is as well off as he was from last year's sales, but
lam not aware of another instance of the kind. Mr.
James Smyth, of Loughrea, sold 1,600 sheep. For
200 top wethers he obtained 51s. 6d. each. He rea-
lised last year, for the same description, 525. 6d. Mr.
Hugh O'Loghlin, jun., of Gort, sold 100 ewes at
225. 6d., and 100 ewes at 20s. a head. He expected
at home 295. Mr. Butler, of Bunahon, sold 200
wethers at 295.; last year he realised about 335.
The same gentleman sold 200 ewes at 21s. ; last year
he realised 255. to 265. for the same description. He
sent home 200 sheep. From parties wilo arp well
informed as to the results of the sheep fair up to
yesterday evening, the following report has been ob-
tained :—Top wethers, 51s. 6d. to 40s.—ls: 6d. to
2s. under last year ; inferior do., 345. to 265.-3 s. to
Gs. do. Top ewes, 345. to 295.-3 s. to 4s. do. ; in-
ferior do., 265. to 18s.-3s. to 6s. do. The horse fair
is held this day. There are a considerable number
of horses on the ground, and for those of a good de-
scription high prices are expected, there being a de-
mand for such. Much apprehension prevails as to the
results of the cattle fair to be held to• morrow, and
the holders fear they will have to part with their
stock at a reduction of from 2/. to Si. a head under
last year's prices."

Douglas .Terrold's interesting drama of the Hazard
of the Die was performed at this theatre last evening
with a very strong cast, and was completely 04pppss..
ful, The acting of Lyon as the Gamester was ter-
rifically energetic. 'The beautiful ballet of the
Daughter qf the Danube followed, for the purpse of
introducing Madame Procho Giuhilei to an Adelphi
audience as Fleur-dos-Champs, Wioland, as the Imp,
was as grotesque and laughter-moving as ever. The
house was crammed to the ceiling.

LONDON:',
FRIDAY Mar.NING, DECEMBER 23, 1842.

All argument as to the utility of a Corn-law to
protect the cultivators of the soil is at an end.
The Protectionists have wholly given up the
question. No man now says a word in defence
of the law. At the meetings of the agriculturists,
there have been complaints enough of the Tariff,
and enough of Sir R. PEELS Corn-law; there
have been vague aspirations aStir protection, but
_ .

not a word has been said in favour of the sliding
scale. The points yet doubtl on the subject
are these :—First. When will the public mind be
frilly saturated with the knowledge which painful
facts have lately made apparent, and how long
will it require to give the public sentiment the
technical form and dress of an Act of Parlia-
ment ? How long must the nation continue to
suffer from a law of which the folly has been
demonstrated to the complete conviction of the
people? Secondly. Is the repeal to be total and
immediate, or partial and gradual, allowing the
law to slide out of existence?
We cannot answer the first question, but if'
the rumour to which we yesterday alluded have
arty foundation—and we see so many proofs of
the progress of conviction amocgst the agricul.
turists, that we believe it has—the embodying of
the public sentiment in an Act of Parliament is
nearer hand than most people suppose. If it be
the duty of the leaders of society to go before it,
as the name implies, and if all laws must apply
to the future—the past being beyond the power
even of Parliament—we may reasonably expect
th*t the Ministers will go in advance of the
SqiiggiStl multitude of their followers, and hasten
to pass an Act, which may to some extent pre-
cede and prepare for the complete formation of
public opinion. Foresight is perhaps the most
necessary, and yet the rarest quality of a states-
man, for without that he cannot adapt his en-
actments to the unknown future. To suppose
thLat he has much influence over the progress of
society, and either guides or Controls it, is proved,
by. modern exPeriOnee, to
brain
be as idle a chimera
as er of any
er entered thereforming
which is .the guide of
vie—Oularyr. Over opinion,
action, in
statesman has, Perhaps, not more
fluence than any observing man who writes in a
,newspaper. It is his business,
. therefore, to fore-
.see, if he can, that future which he cannot
his laws to it. If the
lommand, end to adapt

TOWER WARD.

The wardmote for Tower-ward, in order to
accommodate the Lord Mayor, who presided for Mr.
Alderman Lucas, did not take place until four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the whole of the
late Common Councilmen having been re-elected
without opposition, Mr. Barclay called the attention
of the meeting to the course which had been pursued
in the City with regard to the Income and Property..
tax. He believed, however, that no ward had had
its inhabitants so much surcharged, with reference
to the Income-tax, as that. The Committee
ap-
pointed
at a recent meeting had waited on the Com-
missioners, and the fault was found to rest with the
assessors. He thought that they were unworthy of
confidence, and concluded by moving a resolu-
tion expressive of the opinion of the ward-
mote to that effect. On the suggestion of the Lord
Mayor, Mr. Barclay withdrew his resolution. Mr.
Sellsom, a Common Councilman, then moved "That
it was the opinion of that wardmote that the Income-
tax was a war-tax, and should only exist as a "ay.
tax. That it was odious, inquisitorial, and vexatto urepugnant to the feelings, and derogatory to thein-
dependence of Englishmen, and should, under ragout

BROAD-STREET WARD.

The wardmote was held at two o'clock at the
Crown and Cushion Tavern, London-wall. Alderman
Musgrove, who was recently elected in the room of
the late Sir J. Cowan, Bart., presided. The ward
officers and members of the inquest were elected, and
the following were appointed Members of the Com-
mon Council without opposition :—Mr. Corney
(Deputy), Mr. Heppe!, Mr. Gadsden, Mr. Jupp, Mr.
White, Mr. Cumming, Mr. `Parton, and Mr. Moon.
A discussion on the conduct of the assessors under the
Income-tax occupied about two hours. Several
charges were brought against the assessors, which
they replied to. The worthy Alderman suggested
that no specific resolution should be come to on the sub-
ject of their conduct, as such might be brought before
his notice in another form. The conversation ended
in a resolution being proposed by Mr. Gadsden ex-
pressing the indignation which the wardmote felt at
the unjust assessments made in addition to their re-
turns made upon solemn declaration. This resolu-
tion was seconded by Mr. White, another Member
of the Common Council, and carried unanimously.
Mr. Deputy Corney returned thanks on 'behalf of
himself and colleagues for their re-election. Mr.
Jupp also returned thanks for his re-election for the
30th time, stating that he had moved a vote for the
repeal of the former Income-tax, and hoped to do so
with regard to the present.

CANDLEWICK WARD.

The wardrnote was held before Sir G. Carroll, in
the board-room of the City of London Union, Cannon-
street. Letters having been read announcing the
resignation of Mr. Deputy Downs and Mr. Oswick,
thus creating a vaca'icy, four gentlemen were put in
nomination. A poll having been demanded, a long
discussion ensued as to who should pay the expenses,
which was set at rest by the ward-clerk saying that
they would be paid out of the poors-rates. At the
close. of the poll, at four o'clock, the following numbers
had been polled :

COLEMAN-STREET WARD.
The wardmote was held at the Ward-rooms, in
London-wall. Sir W. Heygate, Bart., the Alderman
of the ward, presided. After the ward officers had
been re-elected, Messrs. Allen, Hunter, Hale, Hall,
Davis, and Johnson were re-elected members of the
Common Council, and Messrs. Breach, and Phillips
were elected in the room of J. Griffiths, Esq., and
Mr. Cousens, who had resigned. Considerable dis-
cussion took place as to the propriety of urging that
immediate steps be taken to forward the project of
forming an embankment in the river Thames from
Chelsea to Blackwall, and even Gravesend ; and Mr.
Phillips having suggested that this and other public
improvements ought to be adopted by corporate and
public bodies in order to give employment to the poor,
it was intimated that the subject had been referred to '
the City Navigation Committee, and would probably
be speedily carried into effect. Several of the inha-
bitants complained that Moorgate-street was not paved
with wood, when the Deputy declared that the petition
on that subject to the Commissioners of Sewers would
be taken in turn. There were already before them
twenty-five petitions on the subject, and it had already
been decided to pave several principal streets with
wood, at a cost of 8,5401.

Mr. THORNTON, in referring to the recent calami-
tous fire at Goodnian's-fields, preceded as that was by
the one in Ivy-lane, in this ward, about three years
since, in which four lives were lost, suggested the pro-
priety of giving the first gratuity in case of fire to the
raising of the first ladder to the building, instead of
the arrival of the first engine. The suggestion was
unanimously adopted, and the Alderman, as well as
the different members of the Common Council pledged
themselves to give it their support, when proposed to
that Court, to be adopted as a general measure in the.
City. .
