(From the United Service Gazette of Saturday.)
_APPOINTMENT OF SIR CHARLES DALBIAC TO TIIE
COLONELCY OF THE 4TH DRAGOONS.—The announce-
ment contained in our Gazette of the 10th ult., has
been confirmed by the removal of Lieutenant-General
Sir Charles Dalbiac to the 4th Light Dragoons, in
succession to the late Lord Edward Somerset. Lieu-
tenant-General Newbery, formerly of the 16th
Lancers, has replaced Sir Charles in the Colonelcy of
the 3d Dragoon Guards. General Newbery's mili-
tary career is unconnected with the Peninsula or the
battle of Waterloo, but he was usefully employed in
India for a long period, first in the capacity of a regi-
mental officer, and, subsequently, as a brigadier. He
was, we believe, the senior candidate of his rank for a
cavalry -corps. Having occupied that position, he
may, perhaps, be considered fairly entitled to the dis-
tinction which has now been bestowed upon him, in
preference to such dashing junior competitors as
Major-Generals Hill, Lygon. 'and Wyndham, whose
constantly active, meritorious, and chivalrous services
in the field, constitute no slight claim for early and
substantial reward.

CAPTAIN SMITII.—We are glad to perceive by the
London Gazette of last night that Captain Smith, of
the 27th Regiment, has been promoted to a brevet
majority for his gallant and successful resistance and
ultimate defeat of the rebel Boers at Port Natal. This
appropriate and well-timed reward is, we are assured,
the Duke of Wellington's spontaneous and unsolicited
act. The promptitude with which his Grace has con-
ferred this well-merited mark of distinction upon
Captain Smith, and the spirited and exemplary con-
duct which it is intended to reward, are alike ho-
nourable to the donor and the recipient. It may not,
perhaps, be generally known to our readers that Cap-
tain Smith commenced his professional career in the
navy, from which he transferred his services to the
27th Regiment in June, 1813. At that period his
father was surgeon in that corps, and his sister, Mrs.
Tucker, married one of its captains, circumstances
which no doubt had its full weight in determining
Captain Smith to exchange his blue for a red jacket.
The ship in which.he last served was the Sapphire. He
has had his share of hard fighting, both in the Penin-
sula and at Waterloo, since he has belonged to the
military branch of the service.
LORD lIILeS PRIVATE SECRET/RT.—We are by
no means surprised,' although certainly very muci
gratified, at the promotion to an unattached Lieute-
nant-Colonelcy of Colonel Egerton, late Aide-de-Camp
and Private Secretary to Lord Hill. The Colonel's
zeal, activity, and attention to the onerous duties of
the responsible appointment which he held with so
much credit to himself and advantage to the service,
during the period of his Lordship's command of the
army, are well deserving the recompense which has
been bestowed upon them, and which will, we under-
stand, be still further rewarded by an annual pecu-
niary grant as one of the full Colonels coming within
the meaning and intent of one of the provisions em-
bodied in the Report of the late Naval and Military
Commission.
WEST INDIA AND MEDITERRANEAN DETACH-
MENTS.—The usual periodical detachments have been
placed under orders for Jamaica, the West Indies, and
the Mediterranean. Their combined strength is to
consist of about 4 field-officers, 11 captains, 15 lieu-
tenants, 24 ensigns, 20 sergeants, 4 drummers, and
580 rank and file, who will be selected from the re-
spective depots in the following proportions :—For
the West Indies, one field-officer, seven captains,
eight lieutenants, 15 ensigns, 12 sergeants, four drum-
mers, and 340 rank and file, to be taken from the 33d,
46th, 47th, 59th, 77th, and 921 Regiments. For Ja-
maica, one captain, one lieutenant, three ensigns,
three sergeants, and 100 rank and file, from the 48th
Foot and the 2d battalion 60th Rifles. For Gibral-
tar, two field officers, four lieutenants, two ensigns,
four sergeants, and 100 rank and file, from the Ist
battalion of the Royals, the 7th Fusiliers, and the 79th
Highlanders. For Malta, one captain, one lieute-
nant, two ensigns, one sergeant, and 30 rank and file,
from the 88th, Connaught Rangers; and for the
lonian Islands, one field officer, two captains, two
ensigns, ono sergeant, and 15 rank and file, from the
19th, 38th, and the 97th Regiments, and the Ist bat-
talion Rifl Brigade. These drafts are exclusive of
the reserve battalions of the 42d, 45th, and 97th Regi-
ments, which are to proceed separately to Malta,
Gibraltar, and Corfu. The corps which they are to
relieve are specified in our distribution of the army.
No tonnage has yet been provided for the convey-
ance of' any of these officers and men ; but arrange-
ments are in active progress for insuring their early
departure from this country.
The 53d, 58th, and 61st Regiments are to be aug-
mented to 1,200 rank and file each, and to be formed
into two battalion corps.

The new tariff is beginning already to make its in-
fluences felt on the value of cattle. " Very fine
Spanish cattle were last week sold at Smithfield at a
good profit to the importers," is a fact over which the
Post groans and gruinbles. That Sir Robert Peel and
Mr. Gladstone were wrong when they expressed their
belief that " not a single ox would ever cross the Bay
of Biscay," even with a free trade in cattle, has of
course by this very fact been proved. But what
then ? If the poorer classes of the country shall
be able to obtain foreign meat at aso much cheaper
rate, that instead of being deprived of all animal
food from month to month, they will be able to
purchase it twice a week, or even once, who will
regret that Mr. Gladstone uttered a false prediction, or
that the new tariff of Sir Robert Peel has effected
even more good than he hoped for ? That the profits
of the English grazier are small, we admit. But
why are they so ? Because the rents of the land on
which he grazes them are too high. The Post knows
well where the shoe pinches ; and so it undertakes to
run down Spanish beef, But the real secret is this--
that to obtain good and cheap English beef, the rents
must come down, and the supporters of the Post
must diminish their luxuries to contribute to pro-
viding for other people's necessities. This neither suits
it nor them, and therefore a cry is heard of, " The
tariff of Sir Robert is injurious to the graziers," But
if it bring good beef, and plenty 4f ft, to the poor
man's cottage, who will not rolotce to raise another
cry of " Iluzza for the Tariff? "—Maii,

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Mr. G. Wild commenced his winter campaign lass
evening, with a drama entitled The Adventures of a
Gentleman, being a dramatic version of Bulwer':,
novel of " Pelham." The dramatiser is Mr. Marl,
Lemon, and he has displayed great judgment in
adapting the incidents of the novel to stage represen-
tation. He has confined himself strictly to the ad-
ventures of Glanville and Tyrrell, and has, from the
materials thus furnished him, constructed a most in-
teresting drama, the serious part of which was ad-
mirably sustained by Fitzjames as Glanville, and
Miss Lavinia Melville as Gertrude Douglas.
The mad-house scene more especially was given
with great power and effect. G. Wild was
quite at home as Job Johnson, the man with "two
virtues," and sang a song, " The Life of a Vagabond,"
in excellent style. Wild has made this line of cha-
racter completely his own; and, like good old Octo-
ber, he increases in mellowness every year. The
mantle of Reeve has fallen upon him, and v e hail him
as the legitimate successor of the " immortal John."
Our old favourite Miss Lebatt was Letts, Lambswool,
the chambermaid of " The Flying Childers," and by
the naivete of hor acting, made a great deal of a very
insignificant character. She was most deservedly en-
cored in her new song, "If I were a lady." The piece
was completely successful, and was announced for re-
petition every night. The
.National Anthem was
sung at the conclusion o the_ first_ piece.
The farce of the Artful Dodge followed,"
with Mr. Fitzjames as Fitzfudge. In the part of
Glanville the tragedy wig had hidden the doings of
the Dover Dogberrfes, but when Mr. Fitzjames ap-
peared as Fitzfudge, their barber-ous deeds were made
apparent. The audience showed their sympathy by
receiving him with several rounds of applause, and
eagerly caught at any allusion in the course of the
piece, to show their opinion of the unworthy treat-
ment to which he had been subjected. " Cut it
short," said Wild, as Demosthenes Dodge, when he
was indulging in what an Irishman would call a
" noration." "It has been," was Fitzjames's pithy
reply, running his fingers over his hair, not throuzh
it—that would have been impossible. This was im-
mediately taken up and loudly applauded. The
amusing burlesque of Life in the Clouds concluded
the evening's amusements. During the recess the
theatre has been completely and most tastily re-
decorated, and it now presents a very neat and com-
fortable appearance. Mr. Wild has also found it ne-
cessary to provide additional accommodation for his
patrons, and has erected a new gallery, capable of
holding 800 Persons. This was last night crammed
to the ceiling ; the pit was a bumper, and the boxes
were well filled. This is a good beginning, and we
hope and believe that it is only a foretaste of what is
to
.come, for everything seems to promise a prosperous
season to this little winter snuggery.

EDINBURGH COMPLETE SUF-
•= FRAGE ASSOCIATION.

A meeting of the members and friends of the Edin-
burgh Complete Suffrage Union was held on Thurs-
day night last in the Waterloo-rooms, in honour of
Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P., and the other Mem-
bers of Parliament who supported his motion for
complete suffrage in the last session. John Dunlop,
Esq., of I3rockloch, President of the Association, was
in the Chair ; and was supported on the right and left
by Mr. Sharman Crawford, Mr. Joseph Sturge, Mr.
Collins, Mr. Vincent, Mr. Biggs, of Nottingham ;
Provost Henderson and Rev. Mr. Brewster, of Pais-
ley ; Mr. Reid and Mr. Patterson,of Glasgow; Rev.
Dr. Ritchie, Rev. Mr. Harris, Messrs. Tait, John-
ston, Howison, Aytoun, &c., of Edinburgh. The
room Was well filled, and there were several ladies
present.
The CHAIRMAN introduced the object of the meet-
ing in a speech of considerable length, and read apo-
logies for absence from the following Members of
Parliament :—Messrs. John O'Connell, Scholefield,
Bowling, Williams, Cobden, and Hume. He con-
cluded by propoSing " Honour to their guest, Mr.
W. Sharman Crawford, and the other patriotic sup-
porters, in the Commons House of Parliament, of the
principles of complete suffrage ;" which was responded
to with every demonstration of lively enthusiasm.
• Mr. CRAWFORD was received with enthusiastic
applause. After some introductory observations,
thanking the meeting for the warmth of his recep-
tion, he said—l This meeting, I conceive, is not in-
tended for the sole purpose of expressing your
acknowledgments to me, and to those Members
who voted with me, but to make such an exhi-
bition of our principles in this city as may tend
to produce that amount of moral power in the
empire by which alone our objects can be carried.
—(Loud cheers.) What we want is, justice fur
the whole people. We want to do away with class
voters, with class legislators, and with class legisla-
tion. These are the great evils under which the
people of this country suffer—these are the evils which
we desire to remove. The theory of our Constitution
is, that the three estates, in which the powers of our
Constitution are vested, should work for the common
good of the whole, and that in order to this, each es-
tate should counteract the evil that is in the other.
This is the theory of the Constitution ; but when you
come to the practice, where is it ?—([dear, hear.)
The Constitution ought to consist of three estates—
the Crown, the Lords, and the People. Where is the
estate of the people ? Where is the House where
the name of the people may be heard ?—(Hear,
hear.) Is the House of Commons a fair represen-
tation of the people ?—(No.) Well, then, what has
become of the Constitution now ? The landed and the
moneyed aristocracy have swamped the other orders.
The people's voice cannot be heard: and the Constitution
of the country has degenerated into an obligarchical
power, which has swamped the power of the Crown
and of the people.—(Hear, hear.) Our object is to
restore the practice of the Constitution to its theory.
We desire the stability of the throne, by making the
throne conducive to the public good ; we desire the
stability of the aristocracy, by preventing them from
conducting themselves to the injury of the people.
Neither of these orders can be secure unless their
interests can be made consistent with the great in-
terests of the people. What is necessary for this
purpose, and that which we demand is, a universality
of representation. I mean that every class should be
duly and fairly represented in the House of Commons.
—(Applause.) We want that the working classes
should have their due weight in the representative
body, and a due power for the protection of
their industry. 'Ve are opposed in this by the
two great parties in the State. The one party,
which is generally known by the name of the
Tory party, consistently oppose us ; because
they publicly and openly declare that they are hostile
to giving the people po.wer- But the other party who
oppose us do far more injury to our cause than our de-
clared enemies. One class of the Liberal party have
set their faces decidedly against any real extension of
the suffrage of the people ; and their opposition has
been particularly injurious, because they have hitherto
been reckoned among the supporters of liberty ; and
yet they now turn round and say, that the people are
not to he trusted.—(Hear.) One of the leading
persons in Parliament, who has exhibited an avowed
and open hostility to the extension of the franchise, is,
I regret to say, the Right Hon. Member for this
City.—(Hear, V hear.) I do not wish, in any ex-
pression I may use, to offer the slightest disrespect
to the Right lion. Member ; but on a late occasion in
Parliament, when the discussion of the 0141,thit peti-
tion was brought forward by Mr, Duncombe, that
Right Hon. Gentleman used certain remarkable expres-
sions in his speech, and 1 do no injustice in referring
to them, because he stated, in the moat
his anxiety that his constituents know what
mably manner,
his opinions were, and that lie would not deceive
them. (Mr. Crawford here read certain extracts from
Mr. Macaulay's speech in the late session on the ex-
tension of the suffrage, the substance of which was,
that if universal suffrage were granted, property would
be no longer secure.) He continued-4 heard these
expressions of the Right Hon. Cvntleman certainly
with deep regret, and with pain. It piked me to hear
a man who was raised to offices of honour and of profit
on the shoulders of the people, and who had at
one time been rather the idol of
Pe~plo, thus
express himself with regard to the pei2l2le, lie war
under apprehension that- if the extension of the suf-
frage were brought into operation, property would
' not be secure, and he sustained his opinion by some
rather minute criticism of the chlirtb petition. I admit
that Ithought tilat pgtitio was injud'clous. There were
sentlmmts 'expressed in it which might bee a doubtful
el ara2ter; bus which I ani sure wt rp Dewr intended
to he understo in the sety,9 they were taken by that
1404e:rum, I ask him not to condemn the people for
the w..)rds of a day ; but to look to the conduct of the
eople, and try by that means to disoover whether
!here is any oyound for asserting that the people of
(30.4 1-11*1414 are hostile to the rights of property._
(i!leeOng.) He says he would desirq to see a
tary despotism raised to preservo property if the suf-
, frage were granted to the people. Would a military
despotism preserve property ? Could all the stand-
! il,lg` armies they might collect preseri a it if the masses

,f the people were hostile to it ?—(Hear.) 1
would ask him to look to the suffering of the
people during the past year ; and see how they had
iehaved. Have they attacked property, have they
nj tired property, under their aggravated Suffer-
ings, when they were tempted to violate their respect
:or property ?—(No.) Is it fair, is it just, for
any man to stand up in the House of Commons, espe-
cially a man who professes to support the rights
:Ind liberties of the people, and say that if the people
had their due share in the representation of the coun-
try-, that would he destructive of the rights of pro-
perty ?—(Hear, hear.) I was ashamed to hear it ;it
4rieved me deeply, and I thought it strange that any
:nan, representing any city, borough, or county in
England, should stand up and use such expressions as
these.—(Hear.) After noticing some other objections
to complete suffrage, and referring to the sentiments
of the Duke of Richmond and the 'Westminster
AssoCiation in 1780 in favour of it, he urged upon
the meeting the necessity of obtaining these ob-
jects by moral powers, and by refraining from every-
thing like force, whether that referred to the break-
ing up of public meetings, or any other mode of con-
cussing public opinion. He thought that, in farther
pressing this subject upon the Legislature, the vital
question was the extension of the serage, though the
other points of equal electoral districts, vote by ballot,
annual Parliaments, and the payment of Members,
should not be lost sight of. He had brought the sub
ject before last session of Parliament, and he had
given notice of moving for leave to bring in a Bill on
the subject in the next session ; at the same time, he
was willing to resign it into the hands of any other
Member whom the body should fix upon ; and, whether
in or out of Parliament, he would be always ready to
help forward the great cause.—(Cheers.) He con-
cluded by giving as a sentiment " Honour to the
Chairman, and pro perity to the Edinburgh Complete
Suffrage Union."
Mr. DUNLOP returned thanks, and intimated that
the Union already numbered among its members 800
registered electors of the city. He then introduced
Mr. STURGE, who was received with great applause.
He said, while I deeply feel the undeserved kindness
with which you have received me, I feel relieved from
the necessity of addressing you at great length—a
task for which lam altogether inadequate—by the
able speeches of my excellent friend and your chair.
man. We.have many things to animate and encourage
us in this great work. I might allude to the letters
which our Council have received within these few
weeks, relative to the proposed meeting of the Depu-
ties. 'We have had very cordial letters from all
classes of Reformers, and from none more than
from those that are connected with Chartist
Associations : their cordiality is very striking in-
deed ; and one very particular feature is, that
they repudiate in every case the resorting to physical
force. I am one of those who, while I would make
every allowance for the irritating circumstances under
which our suffering poor are placed, would yet hold
that the anthem which sung`peace on earth and good
will towards men extends to every part of the Christian
dispensation. I would not, under any circumstances,
take the life of a single human being—not even to
save my own ; and I can therefore be no party to
any association which would in the slightest degree
sanction a resort to physical force. lam satisfied
that an appeal to history would show that a resort to
it was as impolitic as believe
.it to be un-Christian.
In all such contests, whatever party is victorious, the
masses of the people are sure to be.the sufferers. At
the same time, we must not judge the people harshly
if the presence of distress induce them to make use of
injudicious expressions, when we see what goes on in
higher places. Two or three years ago Sir R. Peel
charged Lord John Russell with arming one portion
of the population against another; and so he did, I
believe, offer arms to those of the middle classes that
would have them.—(Hear, hear.) We also find that
Your talented Member said, in the House of Com-
mons, that he hoped, if the efforts of the people for
universal suffrage should succeed, it would be put
down by a military despotism, or something of that
kind. We have also at this moment got on hand two
wars against the Chinese and the Affghans. I allude
to these, not. as in any way justifying their proceed-
ings, for no one can condemn them more than I do ;
but to adduce them as a reason why the middle classes
should not stand aloof from the masses when they are
disposed, by peaceable agitation, to obtain their poli-
tical rights. I hold that it is as unjust to charge great
principles with the faults of those who pretend to ad-
vocate them, as it would be. to charge Christianity
with the murder of the Chinese and the Affghans that
is now going on, or with the burnings that took
place some centuries ago. I hope no one will allow
the actions of individuals to lower his estimate of
great principles.—(Loud cheers.) Among other things
that I consider to be matter of encouragement, is the
result of three or four elections which took place in
consequence of the late shameful compromises in the
House of Commons. One of these was at Southamps
ton, where my excellent friend George Thompson
polled within three or four votes of the Whig candi-
date who was also standing for the plane ; and that
town is one of the most aristocratic in the kingdom.
Of the election at Ipswich, as Henry 'Vincent is pre-
sent, I shall only say that the to'n is in the centre of
an agricultural -district, and that Vincent went down
to assist two other candidates ; but as these gentle-
men were disqualified from some proceedings at for-
mer elections, the town was in want of a candidate,he
was induced to put forward his name ; and four days
after he entered the town he polled 473 votes, while
the highest number polled for the Tory was
(Cheers.) I know that a number of wealthy men in
the town polled for him. There was another election
expected to come on in the town of Reading, also in
the midst of an agricultural district, and we had a
candidate ready for it also. I remember seeing in
some Tory paper an alarm expressed that we should
poll one-third of the constituency ; but my belief is
that we should have had two,fifths. of them.—(Hear.)
With regard to the Nottingham election, my friend
Mr. Biggs is present, otherwise I should have men....
tioned one or two facts. But I must say, that when
the deputation came to Birmingham tn ask me to stand
as the complete suffrage candidate, one of the principal
reasons which decided me was, the assurance that theN
was no hope of my return:---(Laughter)--and that
they did not expect to poll more than four or
five hundred votes in my favanr,—(llear, hear.) I
assure you, with all my realwt fur your honoured
guest, I have no desire to go into the House of Com-
mons, at least till there area few more honest men lily
himself there. But the result of the election for that

DISTRESS OF AGRICULTURAL
LABOURERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

most valuable characteristics of our
national mind are going, and many a proud hand
that would at one time have been insulted at the
offer of charity, relief, assistance, now; with
sunken cheeks and heart-prostrated mein, asks
for leave to live. The time seems to be past
when there is hope in asking " leave to toil.',
Employment is gone. Tens of thousands of well-
informed, kind-hearted, in many cases religiously-
minded men, are starving.at this moment. Ought
men exhibiting such propriety and principle to
• be thus oppressed ?
Not many days ago I saw a fine woman—the
wife of one of our most industrious, steady ope-
ratives, and she, equally deserving—take the last
under-flannel garment she had to the pawn-
shop. It was the third and the best;. she got
ninepence from the pawnbroker. It was even-
ing, and on that day two of that family had not
broken their fast. The mother had given to the
children that morning what was in the house eat-
able, while she arid her husband, who sat by,
had nothing.
Words would fail to express the actual condi-
tion of the working population of " the most
Christian land on the face of God's earth." Let
the evils of which I speak descend on the heads
of those: who taunt us by saying "There is the
workhouse ;. why don't you go in ?" Afltay of us
have been reared by honest, respected parents,
whose memories we cherish, and .who struggled
through
.trying times without yielding their inde-
pendence. Hitherto we have paid our way, and
lived in happiness and some sort of contentment,
and no degree of suffering can bring many of us
to the pauper-pitch. We have passed our lives
in a different class, and we brave the cold of
winter, the chance of death and relief, rather than
have it said we are paupers. We have hands to
work for our food. God has given seed time and
harvest, summer and winter, and these do not
fail. Why should we yield to the narrowed dic-
tates of a compulsory charity when justicede-
mands our freedom from the tyranny?
Much is said of " the distress in the manufac-
turing districts." It may answer the purpose of
some to encourage the idea of distress being al-
most entirely confined to these districts; but the
truth is far otherwise. I believe no one has had
more opportunity of judging than I have, and my
conviction is, that the agricultural districts are
absolutely worse. Suffering there is borne with
more patience, because the minds and stations of
the labourers and farmers are more debased than
those of the manufacturing operative ; their real
condition is truly awful. They have fewer scru-
ples as to the applying for relief, but even what
is granted is barely sufficient to keep body and
soul together—in some cases it has been proved so.
Well, the leaves are falling. Winter's voice is
heard, and Famine is coming hand in hand with
it. Oh, that the land we love, and the altars we
have seen our fathers prize, were saved from the
ordeal through which they must soon be called
to pass. A SUFFERING BORDERER.

At the late session of the Central Critr;inal Court,
a trial took place, which ps partieular/-y deserving of
notice, on account of the, udicial lee to compromise
with which it terminated, Ilbwis Levi was indicted
for stealing fifty yards of 'woollen cloth, value 451.,
the property of Nicholas Wrenolds, in his dwelling..
house. The Jury convioted the prisoner. In answer
to a que3tion from tlw Court the prosecutor said the
loss would be very ilurtful to him as he was a young
tradesman. The. Common Sergeant then sentenced
the prisoner to ten years' transportation beyond the
seas. " But this I will do," said the Judge, "if you
will cause the property to be returned to this poor
man, or the value of it, or any portion of it, I will ex-
ercise my Kowa' to procure a very considerable miti-
gatioa 4 your sentence ; your modicum of punish.
therefore, rests with yourself; for I cannot
help considering that while sitting here we ought to
endeavour to obtain restitution, as well as to inflct
punishment,"

LONDON AND DOVER RAILWAY.-It has frequently
fallen to our lot to record cases of extortion, and
more frequently instances of vexation and annoyance I
by landowners against Railway Companies; it is,
therefore, with peculiar satisfaction that we notice an
act of a very different character on the part of Sir
E.lward Cholmeley Dering, of Surrnden Dering,
Rent. The Dover Railway Company found, on the
opening of their line to Headcorn, that a material
difficulty would arise in enabling; the Dover and
Ashford coaches to communicate with the station, in
consequence of the narrowness and bad state of a
pariah road connecting the turnpike roads. The
difficulty could not he met either by sending the
traffic a considerable distance round, or by passing.
through Surrenden Park, Sir Edward,- on a repre-
seMiktion of the matter, most liberally granted per-
mission for the eoaches to pass through his avenue
and park, it was a concession of no ordinary
chart as the road passes for upwards of a mile I
thrqugh the beautifully ornamented grounds, and
close to the ancient family mansion. This public '
spirit is beyond. all praise, and the name of Sir
Edward Dering will long he held in honourable re-
MEanbrance for the noble example which he has set.

THE TAR/FP.
TO THE EDlTalf OF TEE kV.
Sia,—There are so many attempts to impose upon
the public, by sale of cheap Beef and Pork from
pretended importations of these articles from Ame-
rica and the Continent, although the Tariff does not
. admit salted Beef or Pork until after the 10th of
October, that you may think it fit to publish the fol.!.
lowing exceptions in the tariff to the time of admis-
sion, and that the Duties on all articles not enumerated
below took effect from the passing of the Act, viz.
Beef, salted, not being Corned Beef, pays now 12s.
per cwt., and after the 10th October will be charged

tries ; but those articles from British Colonies will

There were grounds, perhaps,. for allowing some
time to the South Sea . whalers, which take up two-
and-a-half or three years in the voyage • but loss
must arise 'to every bolder of goods on which he has
paid a high duty, when the duty is lowered, as has
been the case with almost the whole of the articles in
the Tariff. The exceptions made by Sir Robert Peel
were pressed upon him by particular interests, and I
think.he must now be convinced that he acted wrong
in yielding to any, applications. I know" that the
postponement of the lower duty on timber until .Oc-
tober has been productive of much distress to the work-
ing carpenters generally, as the masters have been un-•
' willing to buy timber to carry on any work with the
high duty, when a. few months' delay would save it.
The postponement of the reduction of the duty on
Onion Seeds was, we are informed, very disereil..itable,
as it has thrown considerable profit into the Lands of
a few speculators, who had interest with the Board of
Trade to procure the alteration.. The por,tponetnent
of the reduction of the duty on Cork was also the.
result of solicitation, by which the monopoly on that
article is continued for a year longer.
• I take the opportunity of stating that the public will
not derive the advantage which the reductions in the
Tariff ought:to give to the consumers, until the delays
and impediments at the Custom-house arc- removed;
and Until that Board is reduced in number to two
Commissioners, and one or two Seerehwies, there is
little hope of these impediments being removed. Time

A considerable degree of alarm and excitement
was created in the neighbourhood of Folds, Little
Bolton, on Tharsday last, in consequence of an in-
quisition, held at the Crown Inn., upon the body of
William Eccles, a boy, of nearly fifteen years of ago,
son of Henry Eccles' a carter, and who has hitherto
borne an irreproachable character. The Jury were
at first summoned with an idea that it was an
ordinary case of sudden death ; but, from facts that
afterwards transpired, the Coroner deemed it ne-
cessary to have a post mortem examination of the
body ; the result of which proved there was
