These returns prove clearly that the complaints which have
been made for some months of the extreme depression of trade
are not without foundation, neither have they been exaggerated.
At no period has the rate of interest been so low as at present;
and this circumstance occurs at a time when nearly a million
and a half has been withdrawn, fully showing that a demand
for money for commercial purposes scarcely exists; and this
contraction is not confined to the Bank of England, who aro
lending money at four per cent., but is participated in equally
by other banking establishments.
The Great Liverpool arrivel this morning with the remain-
der of the Indian correspondence.
Papers to the 23d April have been received from Buenos
Ayres, and contain most laboured attempts to exculpate the Go-
vernment from any participation in the late outrages. These are
so forced as almost to confirm the opinion that the murders were
committed, if not by the order, at least with the knowledge
and tacit consent of the Executive. It is stated that no English-
man or other foreigner had been injured, but that the massacre
was wholly confined to the natives, and that order had been
perfectly restored. The Unitarian army in Entrerios
had been completely dispersed, Ferie and Paz having quar-
relled ; and the latter had fled, and was being pursued, with
every hope of capturing him. The insurrection had been so
far put down, that the communications with all the
interior provinces, as well as with Chili and Peru,
had been completed, opened, and the mails had
again commenced their usual journeys. Trade was dull,
but the want of ships to convey the produce was the chief
cause of the depression. Exchange on England 3 1-16 d. 3id.
Accounts from Mor.te Video to the 26th cf April, and Rio
Janeiro to the 18th of May, have also came to hand, but are of
no patticular importance. At the latter place the local Stock
was 72k, and the exchange on London 27k.
Letters from Sydney to the 27th of February have been de-
livered, and give a far more alarming account of the markets.
Cotton goods had increased in demand, and prices had risen
from 10 to 25 per cent., but it is added, " if this improvement
be to continue, no fresh importations must come."

BOULOGNE.
(PROM A OORRESPONDENT.)
JULY 7.—Though the election of a Member to represent
this district takes place on Saturday, the 9th inst., the event
seems not to excite the slightest interest. The subject is
hardly even alluded to in any coffee-room or public company,
and what is more, there is no talk about the right of search, or
the increased duty on linen-yarn; and if one may judge from
the respectable demeanour of the citizens towards the English,
a war with England would be regarded as one of the greatest
calamities that could befal them. If there is any difference the
people, from the highest to the lowest, are more polite and
obliging to our countrymen now than they were before Thiers
raised the war cry, and the town was thronged with English
residents and visitors. Unless excited by some supposed insult,
or some anticipated outrage on their country, the French
generally exhibit their natural politeness, and are anxious to
return the compliment to strangers who reside amongst
them. It is highly to their credit, as far as this district
is concerned, that notwithstanding the violence of many of the
French journals (and they see no other), and the wicked
fabrications poured forth day after day, to excite two great
nations to tear one another in pieces, they treat all these as
they deserve, and are evidently anxious to avoid a catastrophe,
which in the end could benefit neither party, but on the con.
trary entail sufferings of no ordinary kind, not only on them.
but the greater portion of the civilised world. As it is, the
Boulognese have great reason to regret the events of the last
two years, for though they have not been harassed by actual
war they have been subjected to the expense, and have lost
besides nearly one• half of their most profitable trade. Many
shops that at one time did a great deal of business are now
comparatively deserted, some are shut up, and others are con-
verted to different purposes. In the trade in gloves, Eau de
Colopne, boots and shoes, independent of many other articles,
in which the French excel, there has been a great falling off.
The rent of houses and apartments, of course, has declined in a
proportionate degree. Numbers are empty, and those occupied
do not bring in by one-third the rent of former years. Apart-
ments well furnished, and in the best streets, amply sufficient
for a family of six or seven persons, and nearly as many dogs
if yen choose to keep them, can be had at this time, the height
of the season, for 120 francs the month, or less than 245. per
week. In the Rue des Vieillards, near the Rue Neuve
Chaussee, one of the most convenient situations in the town, a
family of my acquaintance has apartments for that sum, con-
sisting of drawing-room and parlour, four bed-rooms, kitchen,
&c., which furnish good accommodation for the family, five
in number, two servants, and four incipient French dogs. The
history of these dogs is curious, but that may probably furnish
subject for another letter. Provisions also are proportionably
cheap. Three pounds of excellent bread, nearly four pounds
English, are sold at 4d. ; the best butter from 9d. to I Id. the
lb., though it is imported from Belgium ; beef, mutton, &c.,
at about 6d. the lb. ; cauliflowers, lid. each, large, and f ex-
cellent quality ; best cherries, l id. the lb. ; a couple of fowls,
2s. 6d ; ducks, Is. 6d. each. Coffee is much cheaper and
better than in England, and wine is little more than half price.
The charges at hotels are exceedingly moderate, not one half
the price charged at Ramsgate or Brighton. Take a second-
rate hotel, for instance, the Commercial Hotel, kept by Fleury,
in Rue Neuve Chaussee, and though second, or say even third-
rate, every thing is of the best, and the whole expense does not
exceed 4s. 4d. a day. The charges are as follow :—Break-
fast and bed, 3 francs; dinner, two francs and a half, but only
two francs if the party remain for some time. At Ramsgate,
at an hotel, with not half the accommodation, the charges are :
Bed and breakfast, 4s 6d. ; dinner, 3s. 6d. ; and one glass of
brandy in the evening, if you are not a teetotaller, Is., making
in all, exclusive of wine, nine shillings. Better beds,
better breakfasts and dinners, and better brandy can
be had in the French hotel for six francs at the utmost ;
and say a pint of wine at the English hotel, and a
bottle of very fair Burgundy in the French, and the charges
will stand thus—English 12s. 6d., French tis. ea. Boots,
shoes, and gloves are equally reasonable, and can be had at
one-third less than in England. As a proof of this, the French
tradesmen ale delighted with the English tariff, and expect no
slight increase in business. A pair of shoes, for instance, can
be had in the one place for bs., which in the other would cost
Bs. 6d. Is there not enough surplus here, to pay the Is. 2d.
duty and the transport, and leave ample profit to the importer?
Very few troops are here at present, and indeed they are not
wanted, for a more orderly, correct, and honest people could
hardly be found in any country. No street rows, little thieving,
great regularity, and mutual kindness in all their proceedings ;
even the brute creatures participate in the national character.
Before the dog-days came on, orders, by telegraph some people
think, Wore transmitted from the capital, to muzzle the whole
of the canine species. It is really wonderful and instructive to wit-
ness the calm composure with which these animals submit to
the ordinaece. You see a dog sitting at almost every door
with a neat muzzle—red, white, black, or green, as suits the
fancy of the owner—and he wears it with as much patience as
the soldier carries his knapsack and musket. No attempt is
made to pull it off, either by rubbing the head against the
ground, or tearing at it with his paws, like the lawless English
dog. In fact, he is a perfect patteru for both a good citizen,
and a good soldier. Dogs indeed seem to have a great predilec-
tion for the army, and at every review or military display
great numbers of them are present, and take as much pleasure
in the sound of the drum as the soldiers themselves. Ia re-

ference to reviews, I may state that the National Guard, to
the number of 800, were summoned by beat of drum last
Sunday to be reviewed as usual on the first Sunday of the month,
and a very respectable appearance they made. The meeting
of tI-• drummers and a train of 2,000 children going to church,
each with his prayer-book, and escorted by a number of prests,
formed a singular exhibition, and verified the phrase, arm:
cedaut toga. The robed priests with their pupils readily gave
way to the petits tanthours, who by the way make a terrible
rattling thundering noise in the street, enough to frighten a
timid ecclesiastic. All the movements of the Infantry
here are regulated by beat of drum. Even when the
soldiers, without their arms, go to bathe, the drum
leads the way to the beach ; it tells them when to draw
up, when to take off the first and last portion of their vestment,
and him long to stay in the water. An exhibition of this sort
took place this week. A party of soldiers were marched to the
sea side one fine morning, and after having gone through the
operation of undressing to the last garment, they were all at-
tenti3n, each man with his hands at the collar of his shirt;
when the drum beat, off flew the shirts, and off scamptlred, on
the dry sand, for 200 yards at least, 300 well-made, stout
fellows, as naked as Adam before the fall, followed by nume-
rous dogs and children, all equally delighted with the scene.
They remained in the water. amusing themselves, like chil-
dren, for a quarter of an hour, and were-tlien recalled in a body
by the magic instrument.
I may, in conclusion, state, that the town is beginning to
fill. Steamers arrive from London almost every day in the
week, bringing generally from 100 to 130 passengers, and it is
hardly necessary to say that the people are very glad to see
them. Without the communication with England, Boulogne
would indeed be a dull place.

THE ANTI-CORN-L A W
CONFERENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

The Conference met this morning, at half-past ten, at
the Crown and Anchor, and immediately proceeded to
the official residence of Sir H. Peel, in Downing-street.
On the termination of the interview the Deputation pro-
ceeded to Herbert's Hotel (late Brown's), Palace-yard.
P. A. Taylor, Esq., took the Chair at one o'clock.
Mr. FISHER, of Sheffield, rose and said that the first
act of the Executive Committee after their arrival from
the interview with Sir H. Peel, was to pass a unanimous
vote of thanks to their Chairman, for the modest, digni-
fied, and impressive manner in which the Deputation
was introduced to Sir H. Peel.-7.(Cheers.) He (Mr.
Fisher) was quite sure that the first act of that large
meeting should be a similar vote.—(Hear, hear.) He
would therefore propose that the thanks of the meeting
be given to the Chairman, for the excellent and impres-
sive manner in which the Deputation was introduced to
Sir IL Peel.—(Cheers.)
Mr. FREARSON (of Nottingham) seconded the motion,
which was carried by acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN said, I have only to repeat the thanks
that I tendered to the Committee, which I now give to
you.—(Cheers.) It is most gratifying to have their
approbation for any effort that I can make in so
great and righteous a cause.—(Cheers.) I have
been identified with this cause for years be-
fore the formation of the Manchester League, and
before Manchester was aware of the coming difficulties,
and coming evils, which these Corn-laws would bring
upon this country. I was one of that few in London,
with the excellent Colonel Thompson as chairman, who
used to meet once a week in a very small room, for I
am sorry to say that a small room was quite sufficient
to hold us all in, Colonel Thompson was in the chair,
the Secretary at the foot of the table, and only one or
two more to form the Committee to carry on the work.
That was the spark—that was he germ---that was the
commencement of that great question which is now agi-
tating the whole community, and which now, in spite of
the coolness of Sir H. Peel, shakes him in his security.
—(Loud cheers.) I can only again assert that I am
always at your service.—(Cheers.)
The memorial to the Queen was then read to the
meeting.
Mr. G. THOMPSON said that it was highly important
that those gentlemen. who were on the Committee should
immediately adjourn to the Committee-room, in order
that every word which was stated in the presence of Sir
R. Peel should be faithfully reported, and that every
statement which was made should be inserted in the
Morning Chronicle, and other daily papers, that would
not hesitate to insert pitch important communications,
and give them to the NV•orld. It was, therefore, neces-
sary that those who attended the Deputation, should at
once consult together, and prepare the statements.
' The Deputies then adjourned to the Committee-room.
The CHAIRMAN said that he would commence that
morning's sitting by reading two letters which had come
into his hand, one from Crayford, in Kent, dated July 6,
the other from Mr. JOhnson, of Nottingham :
Crayford, July 7, 1842.
Dear Sir,—lf the following facts will not be too late for your
purpose, please receive them. thought the statement I sent
to Manchester a short time since, would have been produced
upon the present occasion.
I am sorry to say Crayford is in a most deplorable state, dis-
tress is increasing to a fearful degree. For the last two years
trade has declined here rapidly. At that time our bloek-
printers were all in full work at full wages, since which time
they have not been employed more than seven months, on an
average, in each year. Wages have fallen upwards of 25 per
cent., and the men have received notice of a farther reduction.
During the spring, the calico-printing has generally been brisk,
but this year, spring has passed over without any spring trade ;
last week, one of the two remaining factories in Crayford, closed
its gates, by which several hundred persons are thrown
out of employment. Prior to this melancholy event,
many families in Crayford were subsisting almost wholly upon
potatoes; nor is the distress confined to the manufacturers, as
the wages of the agricultural labourers have, in many instances,
been reduced 12 to 14 per cent. within the last four months.
how long this stare will last, God only knows, I dread the
coming winter.—Believe me, dear Sir, yours very truly,
Sidney Smith, Esq. THOMAS MIDDLETON.
Sir—Considering it desirable you should be put in posses-
sion of every incident that manifests the portentous
signs of the times, which are becoming every day
more threatening and, gloomy, I beg to inform you
that yesterday, and again to-day, a haggard, wretched body
of upwards of two hundred famishing individnals, have been
levying con'ributions on the shops and passers by—their im-
portunity was such that no denial would be taken, and at a
' baker's shop (where I was a witness) on meeting with a denial
they declared bread they must have—and have it they ac-
corcingly did. And can it, Sir, be wondered at, when famine
and misery invade the home of the industrious artizan, that he
should seek to alleviate the sufferings of his family, by in-
vading the 511112,3 TV bcr, proTizi coo abvund
It may suit the interests of such men as Peel and Stanley
to impiously attribute the present distress to causes beyond the
control of man, instead of the corrupt and avaricious acts of
a selfish aristocracy. But the people are awake to the truth,
and the murmur of vengeance may be heard in our streets.
Let the Government beware, they are slumbering upon
a volcano, and however they may boast secerity, ,
unless they promptly relieve the distresses ot the nation,
by promoting a market for labour, not only will
the manufacturing and commercial interests be de-
stroyed, but the possessors of the broad acres, the aristocratic
worshippers of Mammon, will be eugulphed in the same deso-
lation.

Upon inquiry I find most of the hosiers here are turning off
hands, and I have been told that the lace-merchants can in
many cases only realise for their tri4nufactured article the value
of the cotton. A gentleman who arrived here from Tewkesbury
to-day informs me that most of the manufacturers there are
stopping their frames ; one hosier, to the number of from two
to three hundred, and others the whole.
Nottingham, July 8, 1842.
Mr. BRADLEY, of Nottingham, said he could fully
corroborate what was stated in the last letter ; in fact, he
would vouch for every word that the n riter uttered. The
lace trade was the one with which he (Mr. Bradley) was
connected, and he knew that now that article was being
sold fur the value of the cotton. It was a light fabric, so
that they would easily suppose that the labour
must be very great in proportion to the value of
the raw material. The amount of the increase
or relief between the period of March, 1841, and March,
1842, was 50 per cent. The next quarter would show a
similar increase. The relief was 100/. a week more than
it was this time last year. The increase of the people
in the workhouse in one week was 25. He had ttis from
the relieving officer. This was a circumstance unpre-
cedented in the history of the last twenty years.
A remarkatde fact in proof of the superiority of the
measure they proposed over every other measure was,
that not one man who was ever in favour of the repeal
of the Corn-laws, had drawn back ; they were
more anxious for it now than ever, and were
convinced that nothing but the repeal of those
and their concomitant laws would rescue the country
from its present distressed state. Without free trade
they believed that the people of this country were
doomed to starve, and many of them were leaving home
for abroad who were the very bones and sinews of
the community. The people at Nottingham had
laboured in this cause a long time, and they had
met with great obstructions. It had been urged upon
them to begin again at the foundation. He thought with
Mr. Cobden, that they should consider along time before
they dissolved this League, and merged it into another.
He should conclude by reading a quotation from the
Times, of March, 1839, which was us follows :—" We
know the importance of a speedy revision of the Corn-
laws. We know that whether that revision come sooner
or later, come it inevitably must. We say that to make
it speedily is the way to make it safely ; but we
fear we can discover from the tone of a large
party in this, and in the other Houses of Parliament,
that on this question, as on several others, all will be
obstinately withheld until all must be disgracefully sur-
rendered. We cannot for the life of us discover the wis-
dom, the morality, or the patriotism of such a course."
The following statement was read by Mr. Bradley
In the town of Nottingham and a distance of five or six miles
round there must be from 8 to 10,0n0/. less money in circula-
tion weekly now than in 1836, which sufficiently accounts for
the threatening aspect of affairs to the shopkeepers.
Alderman FREARSON, of Nottingham, confirmed
the report of the great distress which existed in
the town to which he belonged. He had been acquainted
for some time with the state of the American markets,
and he knew that there was considerable difficulty in
getting payment from the Americans, because we could
not take what they could give, which was bread-corn.
Mr. LawsoN, of Manchester, stated that he had been
engaged for thirty years as a workman and manufacturer
in :he stocking:trade, and he thought he could throw some
light upon the subject of cheap wages. There had been
no improvement in the stocking-frame for many years ;
it required just as much time and labour to make a stock-
ins now, as it did many years ago. Out of 100/. worth
of hosiery sent from Hinckley to the United States.
there was a loss of 75 per cent ; and he would show them
how this was, from a shipment of his own to the
United States, the return for which was to be made in
flour. There were as many goods shipped as purchased
216 barrels of American flour. The American duty
on the stockings cost 32 barrels of the flour, and
that duty, he would remind them, had been laid
on on account of our Corn-laws. The English Corn-
law in Liverpool took 421 barrels ; the charges
of conveying the stockings to New York' and the com-
mission there on buying the flour and bringing it to.
Liverpool, were equal to 591 barrels, and the cost of
the yarn to make the stockings was equal to 31 barrels
mere. Nj‘V he would tell them who t the American menu-
_

faeturers had to pay. In his yarn 70 barrels, for profit 14
barrels, being 132 barreb of flour for the wages, instead

.r-

of 34, which was all left to the English manufac.
(Cheers.) Thu worst part of the rnatter•was, that'
whatever we sold the goods in the foreign inarkct, ,
regulated the price in the- home market, so that 0
raised their hostile tariff abroad
_prices •increasedyo ,1
and wages went down. It could not be allegoUfil
this badness of the trade was owing to stockings Visit
out of fashion, as had been urged with regard !,,l
Paisley manufacture, for it happened that the de
3
for stockings was greatly on the increase in every Ow'
in the world except one, and that was the country.l.o
for 250 years had manufactured stockings foi

The lovers of fencing experienced a treat On .frili
at the Queen's Concert-room, Hanover-square;oof
fencing was superadded a musical concert, by.sr4
the first foreign and native artistes. We shall hrie!l
miss the latter, remarking in passing that it quite .4i,
all that was expected. We may particularise fi" 0,01

prejudice apart, we were happy to see that our ~r ,
man had the best of it. But the grand attractio!";ol
evening was the sabre assault between Signor fit'

The latter had, in a previous part of the eyenietti:
cleverly put Mr. Germain hors de combat, at the We

English portion of the audience were, therefore, '5O
strongly elicited in his favour. After the usuOigolf
of impatience for the great stars of the evening+,
Gandini and Sergeant APlCaughten appeared,lllllolo
with naked sabres, We observed some beautifa,
as beautifully parried ; but the Sergeant was -ell. .
the better man. His antagonist, howeVerO 41
