/other nations. Now what where the facts?, It appearei
from the Government returns that the direct opposite was.the
fact. In Prussia the revenue was 8,261,0001. acd the
land-tax paid of that 3,994,0001. The Austrian revenue was
16,400,000—, and of this the :Land•tax paid more than half.
The French revenue was 40,150,0001., of whirls the Land-tax
was 23,186,0001. What was now the co.nparison between the
revenue and the Land-tax in Great Britain? It was a fact that
the revenue of Great Britain amounted to 52,226,9591, to-
wards which the Land-tax contributed only 1,531,933/.
—( Hear, hear. ) This statement was a true one, but it
did not tally very well with that made by the Premier last Ses-
sion; he could not be contradicted then, but the people being
better informed now, such a statement as that would not again
obtain their credence. —( Loud cheers.) He was a lace manu-
facturer, and he could assure those present, the foreigners were
not only supplying foreign markets with that article,
but they were supplanting Clem at heat. For him•
self, he was laying up stock, in order to employ his
men, because the foreigner coukl bring articles to this
county 20 per cent. cheaper than he could sell it. He trusted
that all clergyman would enl'st themselves against such sinister
monopolies as had been brought before the meeting.
The Rev. 'l'. Davis was sure that something must be done
and that shortly, or he would not state what would be the con-
dition of the country. If the Corn-law was not abolished, he
dreaded the consequences.
The Rev. Mr. MITCHRLL, from Ayrshire, entered into a
statement of the distress prevailing in the district which he re-
presented. Labourers there could not earn more than six shil-
lings a week, and the continuance of suffering was leading to
a spirit of wide-spread discontent and disaffection. A total
repeal of the Corn-laws would alone put an end to the evil.
The Rev. Mr. ELLIS, the representative of five manu-
facturing towns in Ayrshire (Scotland), said the poptila'ion
of these towns were principally hand-loom weavers, ave-
raging
about 51. Gd. a week, the highest being 10s., but
very few at this; numbers could not earn more than 4s. In
1836, girls earned 95. a week at fancy sewing, now they
did not average more than 3s. Gd. A man that formerly
got Is. 4d. an ell, now got, but 2d. an ell. This was a
specimen of the general depression of the place. They were
not quite so badly off as Paisley, but they could not endure
their privations much longer. He would tell the Government
that they were standing on a volcano. Scotland was for a re-
peal of the Corn and Provision-laws from one end to the other.
(Cheers.) He trusted all England would share in the feeling
His constituents were especially in favour of free trade.—
of all Scotland.---(Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. LINDSAY) of Kilmarnock, said his town was
one Of the most prosperous in Scotland. Its staple was the
carpet, shoe, bonnet, and shawl trade but now it was in a most
miserable state. The people shared in the sentiments ex-
pressed by the last Reverend speaker. O'Connell told them
yesterday that Ireland would do its duty. If England, then,
would du its duty, he (Mr. L.) would assure them that Scot-
land would do her duty.—(Cheers.
The Conference then adjourne'd-at Half-past Ten until
Eleven &Clock this day.

Ilkeston, Derbyshire, Feb. 11, 1842.
We, the undersigned, being the Delegates of the Ilkeston
Anti-Corn-law Association, are desirsus of adding our mite of
information to the treasure accumulated at the present Confe-
rence held in the Metropolis. The population of our town is
5,600, who are chiefly of the working classes, employed
either in hosiery or lace, or as colliers. We deeply
regret to state that very great distress prevails. There
are at present 500 individuals who have had but 10%d.
per head per week. It is the complaint of the colliers that
they have but half work, and much distress prevails in their
families. There are families cf four, five, or six individuals,
who have not anything like beds to lio upon, having sold them
for food. In one case (which we state from personal ob-
servation) a man and his wife had but one pair of shoes, the
person who went out wearing them, and the other working at
home on the stocking-frame, without anything on the feet.
The same parties had sold their bed for food, and we are cer-
tain that many others have done the same. Ono case
came to our knowledge of a poor woman who had
not tasted food for three days ; what she procured,
she gave to her children, mother-like, and in this man-
ner became ill. A medical gentleman in our town declared
wereited by the writer
that he could take his oath that persons have been brought to
a premature grave by the exhaustion arisinggof

when it was stated that scarcely five shillings had been
obtained, during the last week, for their support. Two years
since the Poor-rates were about 6001., last year about 1,2001.,
and this year they are expected to amount to 1,7001. The farmers
have to complain, that their rates are now almost equal to their
rent. We and our friends cannot be satisfied with anyth ng
short of the total repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, the
principal source, as we humbly conceive, of the miseries here
deprecated, and which we feel it is impossible for us fully
to describe. Signed, on behalf of the Association,

PEEL'S NEW .SLIDING-SCALE.
A requisition from the electors of the borough of Southwark
has received 200 signatures, requesting the High Bailiff to call
a Town Hall meeting, to petition the House of Commons not
to accede to Sir R. Peel's proposal, and to address the Queen
not to consent to the measure. The worthy High Bailiff has
called the meetinA for Monday next, at tenlo'clock.

The minutes of the previous meeting having been rod and
confirmed,
Mr. Puck rose, and, in an animated speech, moved, " That
this meeting consider the modified sliding scale, as proposed by
Sir Robert Peel, to be a shallow attempt to delude the public,
equllly discreditable to his character as a statesman and in-
sulting to a suffering nation." ,
Mr. BOOTH seconded the resolution, which was then put and
carried by acclamation.

it,—No sooner was Peel's New Corn-law known here,
than the ivies which many sanguine minds had entertained
were dashed to the ground, and Whig and Tory alike denounce
it as most unsatisfactory. It pleases Tao one, but excites the
opposition of all. The agitation will now go on as rife as ever;
nay, far more so ; and so far from settling the question, it will
strengthen the hands of the League a thousand-fold, by show-
ing timid, moderate people, that they have nothing to expect,
while they all join in the demand for complete justice. The
Tories confess they are completely disappointed. However,
we shall pursue our course with the more vigour than over, to
root out ter ever the last remnant of the accursed law.

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—Your Express Suns came by train all right—the interest
was intense, scores waiting at five o'clock in the morning ; several
Caine miles to get a copy, and had I had 1,500 extra ones they
would all have been sold. One gentleman sent his servant off from
his house (in the country) at four o'clock, to be in time for a copy,
bat loud and deep were the curses upon Sir Robert and his party.
I never saw or heard such a general feeling of disgust and disap.
',ointment. The hopes which had for months been cherished, that
something would be done to relieve the commerce and distress of
the country, were in a moment blasted; and such was the excited
feelings of the hundreds, nay, I may say, thousands, who have read
the speech and looked over the sliding-scale, that had Sir Robert
Peel been there, they would not have left as much of him as would
have baited his own rat-trap. Sir Robert's own friends here are
much disappointed, for they expected at least some half measures!
and had long been taunting the Liberals with " wait 'till Sir Robert
brings forward his measures, and there will be a good trade, plenty
of work, and good prices, and you'll bless the day tho Whigs were
ousted," but they appear dreadfully chap fallen.
The Chartists are in high spirits, and well they may, for thousands
will become Chartists, or something more, if Sir Robert Peel has
nothing better to prescribe than his " " Bleeding
and warm water, plentifully taken," will not strengthen the poor
famishing cutlers, &c. We look forward fot Lord John Russell's
speech on Sir Robert'smeasures. I fancy Lord John, and the rest
of the Liberal port ion of the House, will gave him such a castiga-
tion as will make him sit very uncomfortable in his seat.

Your Express Sun, with the whole of the speech, has caused
quite a sensation here, and people wonder how it is done:
Yours in haste, &c., T. W.
_ . . .

I have not at all overdrawn this picture. At this moment, seven
o'clock, P.M., there are hundreds congregated, discussing Sir
Robert's mock measures, and the bitterness of disappointment is
indescribable. 1 have not words to express the general feeling of
disgust and abhorrence of Sir Ilbert's cruel insult to afamishing
but patient people—they cannot, they WILL NOT, continue so long.

-IR -OBERT PEEL'S SPEECH.--By the kind-
ness of Murdo Young, Esq , wehave just received Express Edi-
tions of last evening's Sun, containing a seven column report
of Sir Robert Peel's plan for a " modification" of the existing
Corn-laws. Sir Robert Peel commenced addressing the House
at a quarter after five o'clock, and concluded at twelve minutes
before eight—and in little more than six hours afterwards we
are put in possession of the who'e speech ! The spirited Pro-
prietor of The Sun has, on many occasions, entitled himself to
the thanks of the provincial press, and the public, for putting
them in possession of early information, and on this particular
occasion he has fairly surpassed all former achievements. We
beg to tender him our thanks for this extraordinary despatch,
and are sure the public will not fail to appreciate and reward
his efforts.—Derby Reporter.
TILE CORN-LAW QUESTION —By the kindness
of Mr. Hurst, we were yesterday morning favoured with an
Express Edition of The Sun newspaper, containing a report
of the proceedings in the House of Commons on Wednesday
night, up to the time of its rising. We hase given, at some
length, the speech of Sir R. Peel on the Corn-law Question,
which will no doubt be read by our subscribers with interest,
—Wakefield Journal.

EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH.—Asa proof of
the extraordinary dispatch and the zealous exertions of Mr.
Murdo Young, the proprietor of The Sun newspaper, backed
by his friend, Mr. Wiley, of Sheffield, we may inform our
readers, that chiefly through the spirited efforts of those gen-
tlemem, we rv,re last week enabled to present to our readers
in the town and neighbourhood, her Majesty's Speech on the
opening of Parliament, and a portion of the ensuing debate, at
as early an hour as it would be laid before the public in the
metropolis.—Doncaster Gazette.

.1-EEL'S NEW SLIDING SCALE.—Extract of a
letter from Derby, dated yesterday, giving an account of the
reception of the news conveyed by The Sun of Wednesday
evening:—" They have just burnt the effigy of Sir Robert Peel
in the market-place. Before the execu.ion they read a capital
death sentence, in which he was termed the basest of Ministers."
THE " SUN'S" REPORT.—Such iV the zeal and
activity displayed in The Sun office, that although Sir Robert
Peel did not commence his speech on the Corn-laws till after
five o'clock yesterday afternoon The Sun of that evening con-
tained nearly four columns of the speech. We have to return
our thanks to the spirited Proprietor for the copies which we
received this morning.— Wiltshire Independent.
DISPATCIL—We were favoured yesterday by
Messrs. Willmer and Smith with copies of the London
Standard, Sun, and Courier of Wednesday, in the third edi-
tions of which appeared the speech of Sir Robert Peel on the
Corn-I iws. Th..> speech was concluded in the House of Com-
mons a little before eight in the evening, and on the following
morning at six full reports of it were in Liverpool.—Liverpool

SUGAR.—An opinion prevailing that Government are about
to propose to make some alteration in the Sugar duties, has
produced much dullness in the British Plantation Sugar market
this week. The rates accepted are, however, 6d to Is per cwt
under those at Friday last.
To-day no variation took place in the value of West India
Sugar ; there was a somewhat better demand, still the market
was far from active, tue trade taking bareiy ample for their
immediate wants. The purchases fur the week are 450 hhds
and trcs.

IZEFINED.—Prices have further declined; Standard lumps
at 78s 6d to 795, common brown lumps 72s to 745, good to fine
75s to 78s per cwt. Treacle common selling at 26s 6d, patent
27s 6d to 29s 6d, and Golden Syrup 30s to 31s per cwt. Bas-
tards common at 38s to 435, middling to good 44s to 51s,
and tine 52s to 55s per ewt. Pieces good to fine
67s to 70s, low to mid 57s to 66s per cwt. Bonded
crushed Sugar at 25s 9d to 29s for the best. Loaves 10 and
I4lbs 3ls to 32s lid, and tilbs 33s to 34s per cwt. Molaises at
lls6d to 12s. Bastards and Pieces at 15s to 24s per cwt.
Dutch at easier rates.

To-day there was more hfe in the market for refined goods,
and 79s to 79s 6d paid for standard lumps; bonded crushed
Sugar sold steadily at previous rates.
AI A uairtus.—This afternoon 5,000 bags were offered at
public sale, a good grocery parcel, at which the biddings were
languid, and prices declined Is per cwt; the principal part
however sold, fine yellow at 67s to 67s 6d, good 63s to 65s 6d,
middling 61s to 62s 61 per cwt.
EAST INDlA.—Bengal, very strong bright yellow, at 68s to
69, ; good mid white, 65s 6d to 66s ; good white, 66s to 69s ;
mid to good damp white, 655 to 67s per cwt; by private treaty,
71s to 715 6d have been obtained for some small lots of fine
white. Manilla Iss tid to 18s for low to fine brown, and
17s 6d to 21 a for yellow. Java at 19s to 19s 6d for good grey-
ish brown. Kim at full rates.

This afternoon little demand existed for Bengal ; at auction
550 bags went off at a decline of Is per cwt, good while selling
at 66s to his per cwt.
FoItEIG N.—We have to report a firm market for all descrip-
tions of Foreign; white Brazil 22s for mid Rio; brown
and yellow kinds are wanted ; we quote the former 15s Gd to
17s Gd, and the latter 17s Gd to 20s per cwt. Yellow Havan-
nah 21s to 21s 6d fur good quality ; white at 28s to 30s for
good to fine, and 25s to 27s for low to mid.
MoLassEs.—Although some parties are disposed to take
rather lower rates for West India, still the transactions have
been extremely limited this week. Foreign Molasses dull of
sale at 6s Gd to is per cwt.
Tea.—There has been more activity in the market for Free
Trade this week, and holders have been less disposed to
realize ; a good demand has prevailed for Black Tea to supply
both town and country orders, and buyers have been com-
pelled to pay id per lb in advance, low common Congou cash
has been selling at is 10:1a, good ordinary at Is INd to
Is lid; middling to fine blackish leaf Is Hid to 2s sd, supe-
rio4. 2, Gd to 2s Bd, and Poachong is 4d to is 10d for common
to god. In Green Tea several purchases have been made,
and advanced rates paid. Twankey of common quality has been
disposed of at Is 10id, and low to middling Hyson 2s 3d to
2s 1/d per lb ; no public sale has taken place this week,
but sonic parcels will be shortly declared. The advices re-
ceived from China appear to have strengthened the opinion of
both buyers and holders of Tea. The deliveries continue large,
and last week amounted to 5;4,000 lbs at this port. Company's
Congou has been sought after, and Is 104 d paid for cash par-
cels, but the smallness of the stock available has tended to re-
strict business.

To-day holders of Free.trade Teas were firm, and a good de-
mand existed, common Congou is lOid to is lld cash. Com-
pany's Is lOid to Is lid cash and short prompts.
COIFF.E. —We have to report a firm market for West India
Coffee; the demand has been good for all clear descriptions,
and very full prices have been paid ; indeed some orders for
the better sorts have been prevented from being executed,
owing to the want of a supply by private contract; 1.16 s to
I _6s have been paid for middling to good middling Jamaica,
IC3s to 1126 for low middling, SOs to 102 s for tine to fine ord,

ance. The public sales consisted of 935 bags Ceylon, and 146
bags, &c., West India; Ceylon sold briskly at Is advance for
good sorts ; common went at full rates ; fine fine ordinary
culoury fetched 80s to SOs 6d, fine ordinary 72s 6d to 745, good
ordinary 70s to 70s 6d per cwt. ; West India fetched full prices ;
Trinidad fine ordinary pale 75s to SOs; Jamaica good to fine
ordinary 72s to 88s per cwt.

Cocoa.—This afternoon there were few buyers of West
India, and 273 bags 19l brls at public sale wore only partly
sold at 37s to 43s for mid to good, red Trinidad, being full
rates ; holders wotdsi not take lower prices.
Iticis. —For Bengal Rice prices have been fully supported
this week, and a good demand has existed ; at auction 2,225
bags were readily disposed of, good middling white at Its to
I Is 6d, and middling 10s Gil to 1 Is per cwt., upon which terms
some purchases have been made privately. For Java the
demand is improving, and 4,800 bags have been sold privately
since our last account, low to good white at 93 to lls, and
yellow Ss to 9s per cwt, but the bulk was at 8s 6d
to 9s : at auction 918 bags Paddy were withdrawn.

Patna has been in fair demand at 16s to 21s per cwt duty paid.
The stock of East India Rice is still heavy.

and full rates paid; at auction 60 chests damaged sold at 76s to
82s per cwt.

and prices have advanced 3s to 4s per cwt for the best sorts.
This afternoon at auction 1,077 bags Pearl Sago all sold at
24s to 25s for good, and 14s to 17s for middling Pearl, being
full rates.

few remaining on hand, which are held at 295. Valentias firm
at:36s ; in all other descriptions there is only a partial business
doing. This afternoon at public sale, damaged Patras Cur-
rants sold at 52s to 575, Cephalonia 50s to s'2s per cwt.

at the 9s 4d duty at Is 9d to Is 10d for common; Is lldto 2s
for good clean, proof, 26 per cent over improved quality 2s 4
and 150 hhds at high duty is 4d to Is 4id proof. the Goveria
silent contract for 100,000 gallons, half 'West India, has been
all taken by Ruck, Son, and Fenwick, on the part of them-
selves and several other houses, but the exact price has not
be. n allowed to transpire, it is supposed to be at about
Is 9d proof strength. The last contract about three months
past was Is lid per gallon : only 200 hhds, &c. Rum have ar-
rived since last Friday. The operations in Brandy have been
upon a small scale only, and holders are still desirous to sell ;
prices have suffered a further decline of Id per gallon : the
following are the quotations—Cognac first brands of the
vintage of 1836 at 5s 10d for hhes, puns 5s 8d ; do 1837 hhds

hhds 4s 10d, puns 4s 8d ; do 1840 hhds 4s, puns 3s lid per
gallon. Geneva has sustained the former value, but little
business has been transacted. We have still to report a dull
market for British Corn Spirits, sellers at 9s 9d per gall, cash.

SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 10.—(From a Corre-
spondent. )--Sir Robert Peel's speech on the Corn-laws was
read in this town with astonishment and indignation. I
was scarcely imagined possible that a Prime Minister
could offer such a mockery of relief to the starving
people of this country, as that which is offered by Sir
Robert in his proposed trumpery alteration of the sliding scalp.
Numbers believed, from the known loose and sliding political
character of the Premier, that he would have thrown the landlords
overboard ; but it is now evident to the equntry, that he is bound
hand and foot to those greedy and heartless monopolists. The
opinion in this town is, that Sir Robert Peel and his party must
be defeated with overwhelming disgrace. The Southampton
people are fully prepared to renew their activity and
enthusiasm to obtain a repeal of the unholy and oppressive
bread•tax. A meeting of Corn-law repeaters is fixed for
Monday next, at Andrews's extensive carriage bazaar. This
will be one of the largest meetings ever held in this town.
Two petitions, one signed by males, and the other by females,
will shortly be ready for presentation, signed by a vast mul-
titude of persons.
On the 9th tilt. a little girl, five years old, while
walking With her father at Lyons, was bitten by a dog on the
temple, and the poor man, in defending his child, also received a
bite on the arm. On returning home, their wounds were dressed
and soon healed. The child, however, gradually lost its health, and
complained of constant thirst until the 2d inst., when she became
enraged on being offered drink ,and continued showing all the
horrible symptoms of hydrophobia till the morning of the 4th,
when she expired.
Thu Marquis of Hertford has recently been suffer-
ing from paralysis in his bands and other complaints, in con-
sequence of the variable state of the atmosphere. His Lord-
ship has, in consequence, determined to return to the Conti-
nent for two or three mouths.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.

A man of respectable appearance, named John Budyell, was
brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having embezzled
several sums of money, the property of Mr. Whitby, his employer.
Mr. Chapman, the solicitor for the prosecution, stated that
the case was made remarkable by the ingratitude of the pri-
soner to his greatest bend:oer.
Mr. Whitby, skin nerchant, of Tower Royal, stated, evi-
dently in afflict ion, that he had treated the prisoner, who bad
been twenty-five years in his service, with the greatest possible
kindness. During that period extreme confidence had been
reposed in the Fr:soner, with whom the customers of the
house always a.clei as if they were dealing directly with
the prosecutor himself. Within the last fortnight the
prisoner's conduct became very irregular, and suspicion
having been entertained that his accounts might be also

ness went to bins, and asked him about the parti-

the money, and stated that he had lent it to a person who was
in distress, and would replace it the same evening. The money,
however, was not forthcoming, and it soon appeared that he
had received other sums, which he had likewise appropriated
to his own use, although he declared that there was no other
deficiency in Isis accounts.
Mr. Draper, of High Holborn, said that he dealt with Mr.
Whitby's house for skins, and usually transacted business with
the prisoner, in whom it was manhst the utmost confidence
was placed. Witness produced the receipt of the prisoner foe
111. 4s. 4d., the price of some skins, which the house of Mr.
Whitby had supplied.
Mr. Whitby stated that the primer had not paid over the
'amount to bins, and that there were several other cases against
the prisoner.
The LORD MA YOH, expressed much regret at being obliged
to say that the instances of flagrant abuse of trust were daily
increasing, and that to cheek so great an evil which could be
perpetrated to a snore serious extent in a commercial city than
elsewhere, and the consequences of which had been often
ruinous to honest and industrious employers, it would be alp..
solutely necessary to let no case pass without prosecution.
The prisoner \vas ?emended till Wednesday next.
The Lost') Ma volt had scarcely concluded his observations
upon the preceding case when Daniel Forrester, the *facer.
brought up in custody a clerk us one of the City Banking
houses, upon the charge of having misappropriated 1101., the
property of his employers.
Mr. Bustle, the Solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for
Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the pro-
secution, but the prisoner having remonstrated against entering
into details, as he had been but a shirt tima charged with the
offence, and was consequently taken by surprise, the case Was
most readily postponed upon the part of the banking house,
and the prisoner was requested to name a day himself for
going into the investigation.
The case was then postponed till Tuesday next.
