CORN-LAW PROTESTANTISM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sits—The author of a keen and trenchant
" octavo of four pages," entitled A Letter to
Wilbraham Egerton, Esq., by a Member of the
Anti-Corn-law League, has fbrwarded to me as
pabulum for our correspondence, a Letter to the
same quarter in reply, which he informS me, I
imagine upon public notoriety or report, is the
production of a reverend orator of " over good
Protestant" celebrity.
As the reverend orator, about the period Of
the late elections, was pleased to pick me out
for less of marked civility than it would be my
desire to bestow on an individual of opposite
• political opinions, there appears no powerful
reason why anything .like a self-denying ordi-
nance should be passed on the present occasion.
And first, I feel taken with a fit of Protest-
autism, which forces me to protest against a
writer's signing himself " An incessant, labo-
rious, and withal a happily contented OPER A-
TIVE, in my lawful calling," if the fact is, that he
is a vigorous ecclesiastic looking perhaps to
lawn sleeves. Without contesting whether this
was meant to deceive, it does deceive. Befbre
being introduced to the reality, I had met with
well-meaning citizens, whose minds were racked
with the idea that a letter of dreadful import had
been written to Sir Wilbraham, which had caused
the dumb to speak in the person of an operative
torn by imperious patriotism from his loom.
And small in comparison would probably have
been the alarm, if the reverend person in ques-
tion had been known to be the trumpeter.
The object of the reply, so far as it is compressi-
ble, appears to be to confound bad laws and no
laws, and make the first to pass under the terror
of the other. "Tom, and Dick, and Harry," are
lectured on the dreadful consequences of having
no laws at ail; and then they are expected to go
home, and be heard praying fin. the preservation
of the squires and the Corn-laws. Harry is
touched also on the subject of his wife; in the
hope that in some way he will identify her with
a tax upon his bread. Law, we are assured, in-
volves Order; and the Infidel and the Anti-Corn-
law League desire Equality. From which it is
presented to- the Working Classes as a neces-
sary corollary, that the squires should have a
duty on foreign corn to keep it out, al-d.l)ot the
industrious classes
.have a bounty to britkikio.
The French Revolution is referred to, both by
first letter7writer and the second. -* the
first,-as holiling- out ,a lesson to those:who per-
seVeringly ,oppress;- and by the second, to those
whom any possible. Oppression shall drive into
resistance. Certain unknown horrors to the
wives and ,daughters- of. the French, over which
history draws. a veil in trembling agony," are
mainly relied on for the interest of the traf.-,:dy..
Is not the real fact, that the ultimate cause-
quences of the Revolution, thiongli 'many suf-
ferings, have been to raise the French..peoVe in
the scale of comfort and happiness, --to'ati extent
of which the less is said the better, in countries
where the power of the church and aristocracy
is yet unchecked?.
If the Anti-Corn-law League have no (.€ metal
more attractive," they could not do better Than
publish both sides of the enrrespOndence with
which the lord of Tatton Park has, mcdaPe
been favoured.

Yours very sincerely,
T. PERRONET THOMPSbN.

Tier Majesty's packet Petrel has arrived with a mail
from the West Indies: the dates are, from Jamaica lath,
Trinidad Ist, Demerara 3d, and Barbadoes 4th Dec. The
advices, however, are not of importance ; nothing parti-
cular had transpired in the House of Assembly at
Jamaica.

The accounts from Trinidad state that the labourers
are workihg well, especially on such estates as pay money
alone, and where the last relic of barbarism and slavery
has been abolished, viz., the truck sptem. The canes in
general are looking well.

HALF-PAST ONE.
A public meeting of Proprietors and Representatives
of Estates took place. at Demerara, on the Ist December,
at which the fact was elicited, to be laid formally be-
fore the Governor, that on sixty-two estates (two having
been added to the sixty) selected indiscriminately from the
district of Demerara and Essequibo the average cost of
producing a cask of Sugar was 12 dollars 41 cents. above
its average market price. The intelligent labourers
themselves cannot expect that Sugar will continue to be
raised under such a system.
The Government broker has been in the market
again this .morning, and effected. some further sales of
eonso!s at 88i- and 84, which was full lower than the

opening price.

morning :-884 ;I ex. div. Money ; 88i for the Ac-
count. Three per Cents. Reduced are now quoted at

THE SONNING-HILL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
—Mr. Robert Palmer, the Lord of the Manor on whose
estate the recent accident on the Great Western Rail-
way, at Sonning-hill, occurred,in consequence of a state-
ment which has appeared in the papers, to the effect
that the deodand awarded by the Coroner's Jur7 was
about to be paid to him, and that it was his intention to
divide it in certain
:proportions amongst the poor suf-
ferers, has received several applications setting forth
their claims. lie has, therefore, in order to prevent dis-
appointment, published a letter, in which he says it is at
present questionable whether the deodand will belong to
him or not, and that, under any circumstances, the state-
ment referred to is premature.
