UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF-
FICE, I, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk
of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,

VRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH for

The anp-ecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re-
emunendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit from
their usa, render a.iy lengthened comment unnecessary ; they are
not put frrth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable,
but for Bilious and-Liver Compla.nts, ith their many well-known
attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression after
meals, Gliddines,, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drow-
'Ness, Heartburn, Loss cf Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. ; they are
acknowledged to be vastly sunerior to anything ever before offeied to
the public, and for those of a full habit of body where a determ
tion of b`ood to the head may terminate in Apoplexy, they will prove
Only valuable; while as a gelie,al I Ap:rient fdr either
ex,they cannot fail to ensure universal satisfaction. Two sr Vireo
awes will convince the afflicted of their salutary effects. The sto-
mach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the Liv er,
Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly take elate ; and, instead oflistlees-

" 1 he various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity,
suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cautiously written
and practical work, are almost unknown, generally misunderstood,
and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and supe,-
ficial, by the ixesent race of medical practitioners. Hence the
necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet
friendly monitor, or where debility has wade threatening inroads,
the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to
which this book adverts axe extensive and identical In their secret
and hidden origin, and th ere are none to whom, as Parents, Guar-
dians, Heads of Families, and especially of Publ c Schools, is con-
fided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment
devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is
intended to convey. Not only are the meet delicate forms of gene_
native debility neglected by the family physician, but they require
far their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely ab-
stracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other de-
partments of the profession) attentively concentrated in the daily
and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment
of sexual infirmities.
If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or
social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously
involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate, and secret in-
dulgenre in cei lain practices, are described with an accuracy and
force which display at once profound reflection and extensive prac-
tical experience."—Planet
" The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend; in no
shape can be cansulted with greater safety and secresy than, in
" Lucas on Manly Vigour." The Initiation into vicious indulgence
—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, brat
alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Author Ti
have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy. It show s
how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and phy,
sical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the pas-
sions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pines in anguish
from the consequences of early indiscretion - afraid almost to en-
counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral
courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style,
displaying bow often fend parents are deceived by the outward phy-
sical appearance of their youthful offspring; how the attenuation of
the frame, palpitation of the heart, derangement of the nervous
system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of
consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes,
and instead of being the natural results cf congenital debility cr
disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice,
alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Mes-
senger.
Although a newspaper is not the ordinary chaancl far the ex-
pression of opin on upon the merits of a medical work, this remark
is open to exceptio i in any instance where the public, and not the
isolated and exclusive members of the profession are the parties ad.
dressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately,
the world will foim its own opinion, nd will demand that medical
works forpublic study should be devoid of that mysterious techni-
cality in which the scie•ice of medicine has hitherto shrouded its
own ignorance. The work before its treats of subjects are believe ge-
nerally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and
requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and thesurgery of the
eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important blanch of study.
The tone o; this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written,
harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon 1111-
bridled sensualism. No human being can to the worse for its
perusal. To multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-
told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. Ris written in a clear,
intelligent style; and is evidently the production of a mind long
and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate
division of the human organisation."—Magnet.
The security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety
of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a
secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations.

calculated to cheer the drooping heart, aid point the way to reno-

be had of all Booksellers.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer-
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic en the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of se
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel ne hesitation in
saying that there is ne member of soch ty by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of EOM disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, en perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the , too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
hero be directed as .to the nature of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished:

THE OXFORD-STREET WOOD

PAYING.

On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Ves-
try, Mr. Soden in the chair, another numerous deputation
of the inhabitants of Oxford-street, headed by Messrs.
Underwood, Bell, Jackson, and Green, waited upon the
Vestry for the purpose of presenting a memorial, signed
by fifty-eight inhabitants of Oxford-street, resident in
that part where the wood paving is already laid down,
detailing at considerable length the advantages which
had not merely accrued to themselves in their business,
but to the public generally, since its introduction ; and
praying the Vestry: in addition to non-confirming the
minute for postponing. the further consideration of the
question of wood paving for three years, to give their
neighbours, the inhabitants of the remainder of Oxford-
street, the same advantages as themselves.
Mr. BELL, in support of the memorial, said, out of the
whole number of inhabitants in that part of Oxford-
street where the wood paving was laid down that he had
called on, there were but six who had not signed the
memorial, and that arose simply from their being either
at the time from home or out of town.

Messrs. GREEN and UNDERWOOD having also offered a
few observations in support of it, the deputation with-
drew.

Mr. JOSEPH then rose to move the non-confirmation of
the minutes. He should not dwell long upon the matter
himself, although it was understood it was the intention
.of
,those who were opposed to wood-paving to speak
against time, in order to tire persons out, and tl}us gain
a majority for the confirmation of the minute.—(Hear,
hear,. and cries of " No.") He would simply show the
board why they ought not to confirm a minute, having
for its object the prevention of the further progress of
wood-paving for three years. In the first place, such a
resolution was not only upon the face of it absurd, but
for a fluctuating board like that vestry to make a retro-
spec ti ve.yesolutton which was to be binding for three years,
was absolutely illegal.—(Hear, and" Oh.") What was the
fact ? Week after week, and year after year, the vestry
had had deputation upon deputation, praying them to
carry out the wood-paving in. Oxford-street, and, singu-
lar to relate, throughout the whole of that immense pa-
rish they had not had a single rate-payer come up in op-
position.—(Cheers, and" Oh.") If such a resolution as that
proposed were that day confirmed, he (Mr. Joseph) would
predict, that before half the period of three years had
expired public opinion would force that which the Vestry
now denied. Wood-paving, as a principle, was progres-
sing day after day and week after week, slowly, but
surely, throughout the metropolis and the large provin-
cial towns of the country, and the experiment in Oxford-
street still existed in testimony of the entire falsehoods of
the arguments set up against it by its opponents:—(Hear,
hear.) With these reasons he would move that the mi-
nute be non-confirmed.
Mr. FREEMAN seconded the non-confirmation.

Mr. BIERS supported the confirmation of the minute.
One argument why the Vestry of St. Marylebone should
not consent to such an outlay as the introduction of wood
into Oxford-street calls for, was, that it was notorious
that whilst the south side of Oxford-street costs the pa-
rish of St. Marylebone, to keep it in repair, upwards of
2,0001. per annum, still the inhabitants only contributed a
moiety of that sum and that Vestry, in addition to hav-
ing lost already upwards of 20,0001. by having their
acquaintance, would, if the wood paving were carried
out, lose an additional six or seven hundred pounds an-
nually.—(Cries of " No, no," and " hear.") • They were
a perfect incubus upon Marylebone ; and unless
they came forward to pay their scot and lot with the in-
habitants of the north side of Oxford-street, he did not
see why that Vestry should incur expense for their plea-
sure and indulgence. Such a proceeding to gratify about
200 persons would be a perfect robbery on the remaining
13,800 ratepayers.—(" Oh, oh," and " Hear, hear.") He
understood it had been asserted in his absence on Satur-
day last, that the reason why he was so strong an oppo-
nent of wood-paving was because he had been foiled in
his wishes to purchase the patent of the Count De Lisle.
—(Loud- cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter.) Gen-
lemen in making such an assertion had given him credit
for a great deal more capital and much less capacity
than he possessed.—(lronical cheers and laughter.) He
should like to know where the gentleman who made such
a statement got his information.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. FREEMAN—From Mr. Claridge and Mr. Hodson,
of Salisbury-street, Strand.—(Cries of " Oh, and chair.")
Mr. BIERS denied the truth of the statement, but ad-
in:fted that he had been asked to be a shareholder and
to advance 5001.—(Great laughter.) He was of the same
opinion then as now, and would therefore have nothing
to do with the matter.—(" Oh," and cheers.)
Mr. HARBERT at great length followed on the same
side, and reiterated the arguments he adduced on the
previously Saturday in opposition to wood pavement and
in fa our of granite. He produced also some fresh
blocks of wood from Oxford-street ; those from the
centre being 54 inches, and on the sides 51 inches, the
original size being six inches when laid down. This, he
contended, proved wood paving a failure, inasmuch as the
projectors declared it would not wear away half an inch
in ten years, whereas it had worn away to that extent
in a year and a half.
Mr. GIBSON very warmly supported the non-confirma-
tion. He contended it did not matter whether the wood
was a failure or not to that Vestry, as under- the terms
proposed the responsibility would rest entirely with the
Company, and not with them. All the cry raised by the
opponents of wood paving
.was falleicious. They pre-
tended so much about the interests of the 13,800 other
rate-payers, whilst, at the same time, they were picking
their pockets.—(Loud cries of " Order " " Chair !" and
some confusion.) Mr. Gibson maintained his position,
for it was proved that the wood paving, let alone the
saving in the cleansing, could be had for Id. per yard
cheaper than the present Macadamized road, and yet the
Vestry refused to carry it out.—(Hear, and "Oh 1")
Lord NUGENT ridiculed the idea of carrying out such
a motion as that proposed, and declared that if it were
confirmed the Vestry would be completely stultifying
themselves in the eyes of the public.
Mr. HumE was as fond of innovation as any man, but
he liked to have some proof that such innovation was
good. In this instance he thought there was not sufficient
to justify the Vestry in an outlay of some thousands of
pounds upon a material the durability of which had not
been properly and fairly tested.
Mr. GLAZIER (amidst loud cries of " Question " and
" Chair") said the argument of Mr. Hume refuted itself.
--(" Oh," and " Hear.") There was not only no outlay
whatever, but the parish, if the wood paving were
adopted, would gain from 5001. to 7001. per year,
Mr. FOSTER, at great length, entered into a disquisi-
tion on the perishable nature of wood, subject to constant
concussion as that must necessarily be which wus placed
in the portion of a road, and
Mr. COCHRANE, in opposition, adduced the opinions of
about twenty scientific men to prove that concession and
traction preserved rather than added to the decaypf wood.
Messrs. Thomas, Clapp, Grange, and other vestrymen
also addressed the Vestry on the subject, when
Mr. JOSEPH, in reply, said he was compelled to refer
to the unfair and strenuous endeavours of the opponents
of wood paving throughout the debate ; to keep votes
who were favourable to them the vestry-room door was
perfectly besieged, and vestrymen almost prevented from
going out, unless they could pair off with some one.—
(Hear, hear.) He had always considered the Hon. Gen-
tleman, Mr. Hume, a friend to popular representation.
—(Hear, hear, from Mr. Hume.) Well, then, here
were 400 ratepayers asking for that which would be a
benefit to the parish and the public at large, and with-
out a single voice of a ratepayer, excepting a certain
party in that Vestry, against it ; and he would ask,
ought they to be refused ?—(Cries of " No, no," and
" Yes, yes.") The cost of Oxford-street for the last
year, 1841, had been 3,0201., and if the Wood paving
had been carried out, it would not approach anything
like that sum. He therefore hoped that the Vestry
would not confirm a minute which would shackle them
for a space of three years.
The question was here put, amidst a great degree of
confusion, from the Chair, and the non-confirmation of
the minute declared by the Chairman to be carried.
Cries of " Divide, divide," were heard in every quar-
ter.; and, on the Chairman granting a division, the fol-
lowing most extraordinary and disgraceild scene en-
sued. A vestryman advanced in years, happened to hold
up his hand in favour of the non-confirmation. of this mi-
nute, for the adoption of which he had voted on the pre-
vious Saturday. As the division was taking place thii
poor Sold vestrymen was pounced upon, in the first place,
by one of the anti-wood paviors, named Hawkins, and,
with the assistance of Mr. Thomas, the barrinter' and
one or two others, he was literally being dragged from
his seat, on the " wood-paving-side," to the opposite
side of the vestry-room. In vain the Chairman called
to order. Although the " row" had scarcely begun,
Mr. Joseph, seeing. the position of the unfortunate
vestryman, rushed from his seat at the bottom of Zhe table
accompanied by Mr. Gomm and several on the same side
of the question as himself, to his rescue. A general con-
flict now took place for the possession of the body of the
undecided vestryman.—(Cries of " Shame, shame," re-
sounded from all parts of the vestry.) The Chairman's
hammer performed its office to no purpose, and the rate-
payers who crowded the gallery gave vent to their dis-
approbation by hissing and hooting the whole affair.
The Chairman ultimately succeeded in obtaining some
degree of order, and the vestryman was called upon to
decide for himself. He chose to be in favour of the wood-
paving, and Messrs. Biers and Joseph were appointed
tellers ; and on the numbers being declared, there ap-
peared, the Chairman giving his vote in favour of non-
confirmation, for the non-confirmation of the minute, 27 ;
for the confirmation, 26 ;—Majority against the propo-
sition for postponing the continuation of wood-pacing in
Oxford-street for three years, One.—The vestry then, in
great confusion, broke up, after another discusEion of
nearly four hours.

HANOVER, DEC. 30.—The person arre: ited on
suspicion of ' having committed the assault on 111 r.
Lutcken, was set at liberty on the 28th, as he persevered
in denying the fact, and pretty satisfactorily proved an
alibi, and as there was no evidence against him but that
of the girl, which for many reasons was not thought
deserving of implicit credit.
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILIVAY...-It
appears, from the Railway Times of Saturday, that the
shareholders of the London and Birmingham Railway
Company have recently presented to the Chao lean, G.
Carr Glyn, Esq., a piece of plate, of the value of upwards
of sixteen hundred pounds, as a token of their approba-
tion of the manner in which he has presided ,civer the
affairs of the railway during the last five years.

CAPTURE OF A SLAVE-SHIP.

The following is an extract of a letter from a young
gantleman belonging to Ayshiro, surgeon on board her
-Majesty's ship Acorn, dated St. Helena, Sept. 1, 1841 ;
" We sailed from Rio de Janeiro for St. Helena on
the 6th of August, and arrived to-day, from whence we
depart again on a six months' cruise. In a former letter
I think I mentioned our capturing the noted brigantine
Gabriel, with her cargo of slaves. I have it now in my
power to apprise you of another capture which we made
on the 17th of August last—viz., the Anna, with 500
slaves on board.

" Apart from the satisfaction which the emancipation
from slavery of such a great number of our fellow-creatures
produces, it is gratifying to think that we shall have an
additional 501. each of prize-money to receive for our
trouble when we arrive at Devonport.
"I was ordered aboard the Anna to take a list of the
number of the captives, and to classify them under the
following heads—viz., males, females, sick, and healthy.
As soon as I set foot on her deck the tokens of the miser-
able condition of the poor creatures met my eye in every
quarter. Filth of all descriptions was strewed around the
deck, and the stench arising therefrom was almost over-
powering. I have never encountered anything like the
miasmatic and unwholesome vapours which arose from
the dens where the slaves were huddled together, so close
as scarcely to leave breathing room. In the after-part
of the vessel, called the cabin, a place measuring about
16 feet by 9, and which was allotted to the females, no
fewer than 217 of these miserable beings were packed.
When I looked down into the crowded mass, and saw
the manner in which they were wedged together, it put
me in mind of the celebrated black hole of Calcutta, and
the miseries endured by the poor prisoners there on a
particular occasion. To suppose that such a number of
human beings could be squeezed into such a narrow space
almost exceeds belief, but it was indeed the case.

" The women and children wore ornaments composed
of beads on the necks, wrists, and other parts 'of their
bodies. Several of the females in this style had infants
in their arms, which they tended and soothed with a
maternal affection which was quite exemplary, consi-
dering their situation and the privations they were com-
pelled to suffer ; indeed, few civilised mothers could
have done the same if placed in a similar situation.
"In the forepart of the vessel, reaching from the
mainmast to the forecastle, about 300 males were con-
fined. This part of the vessel was called the gaol, and
is about 50 feet in length •by 27 in breadth, the roof
being; about 341 feet in height. In this place, which
was in a most filthy and impure state, the above number
of human beings were huddled together, without as much
room as to lay themselves at length ; and forced to keep
in a sitting position from the lowness of the deck above.
" In this situation they spent the days and nights that
were to give place, not to freedom, but to the slavery
which the fiends, heir masters, slould find opportunity
to entail upon them for life. It struck me, however, that
their general appearance, ever. in the more uncomfort-
able circumstances in which they were placed, betokened
the greatest contentment; some of them were even quite
cheerful and happy looking. They were fed twice a day
—at nine o'clock morning, and again at three o'clock
afternoon. Their food in the morning ,consisted of boiled
beans, in which a little flour had been mixed. A vessel
containing a quantity of this stuff was placed among
them, and every one might eat as much .as he pleas •
ed. The afternoon meal consisted of flour and warm
water, mixed together in the form of a thin gruel,
which was also served ad libitum, with an allowance of
two ounces of beef to each. The males, who were from
four to twenty years of age, were what would be
called in the market a splendid lot. The females,
whose ages might run from three to twenty, with the
exception of three infants, were all well-looking, and
equally marketable with the men. Notwithstanding
their being cooped up in the manner described, only
twenty. six out of the whole were reported sick. We ran
the vessel and her human cargo into Rio de Janeiro,
where the latter would be taken on board the slave ship
there, and find good treatment. The Government allows
for each save captured, and a certain sum per ton
for the vessels, which, in many cases, are run ashore
and cut up and sold. As they are generally go sea
boats, the Admiralty occasionally purchase they for her
Majesty's service.
"The Bay of St. Helena, in which we have just now
anchored, comes up close to the town. The island appears
very barren; indeed, we can see nothing but precipitous
masses of rock, rising almost perpendicularly from the
sea. The heights are all ornamented with fortifications,
and the rocks near the bay are covered with batteries."

THE SHORT TIME COMMITTEE
AND THE MINISTERS:

If we are rightly informed, the chief speaker at the
whole of these conferences was Mr. G. A. Fleming, late
Editor of the New Morel World, the organ of the
Owenites. That one holding such opinions should
eagerly seize the opportunity thus afforded of dilating
upon the evils of machinery under the restrictive sys-
tem, and of asserting that no extension of our manu-
factures could possibly improve the condition of the
labouring class, was all very natural. The apostles of
Socialism omit no chance which presents itself of mak-.
ing it appear, that nothing, save the addition of- a new
social system, can ameliorate the condition of the suf-
fering classes.

Sir Robert Peel appears almost a convert to the crude
speculations of Robert Owen. If Ministers are actually
inclined to favour the politico-economical views of the
Socialists, let them boldly and honestly avow their in-
tention to do so ; but do not let them, in concert with
the missionaries of that sect, attempt to bolster up the
landowners' monopoly under the guise of extraordinary
humanity to the working classes:
Since writing the above, we have seen reports of three
other conferences which have been held with the Duke
of Buckingham, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Stanley
The same names are appended to all—Mr. G. A. Fleming
Socialist Missionary; Mr. Joshua Hobson, late pub-
lisher of the New Moral World, and also publisher of
Feargus O'Connor's paper—the Northern Star; Mr.
Mark Crabtree, beerseller, and Messrs. T. S. Brooke
and John Leech, whose occupations we have not learned.
The members of the deputation appear to have been
better pleased with the Duke of Buckingham than with
any of the other Ministers on whom they waited ; but
the report of their conference with him is- very brief.
By virtually expressing their willingness to suppprt the
food monopoly—from which all the worst evils of the
factory system have sprung—the individuals composing
the Socialist deputation purchased for themselves the
liberty of talking to the members of the Cabinet for
several hours on the evils of competition, machinery, and
the other dogmas of Owenism ; and, what was of more
importance still; of publishing to the world their crude
speculations on those matters in the columns of the
T
imes, and the other Tory Journals, in connection with
certain remarks of Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues.
Altogether it seems to us that the affair reflects but very
little credit on Ministers. If they sincerely wish to gain
the confidence of the labouring classes, it must be by
some very differept course than mixing themselves up
with so contemptible a hoax as that of the soi-disant de-
putation from the Committee of Operatives of the West
Riding of Yorkshire.—Manchester Guardian.

THE SHORT-TIME COMMITTEE.

TO THE ED1T01? OF THE SUN.

SIR—I am really astonished at the impudence fit-
tempted to be palmed off upon the country, by
the prominence and importance given to the inter-
views of the " Short-time Committee" and the
Government. These fellows appear as the representa-
tives of the working classes of the West Riding ! In
the name of my fellow-workmen, I protest against such
mis-representation. What, Sir, represent the working
classes, and say nothing of the price of food !—nothing
of dear bread !—nothing of the right of every man to
exchange the fruit of his labour for the corn, Ste., of
other countries 1 I marvel at this (doubtless well paid)
impudence. Who arc these men ? Whence came
they ? Who sent them, and trained them to enact this
farce ? " Aye, there's the rub." Let Lord A***** an-
swer. The public should know, Sir, that the whole
thing has been got up for the express purpose of diverting
the public mind from the great " master grievance"
(as Lord Melbourne truly called it) of the Bread-tax, '
and to make it appear that theirs were the opinions of
the working classes !
Pray, Sir, let me call upon the working men of Leeds
and other large towns to appoint a real, not a sham depu-
tation, who shall wipe away the stain inflicted on them by
the senseless jargon of those fellows about machinery caus-
ing their present sufferings ! What employment should
we have but for the machines, when u3itli them, we can
only barely.compete with other nations ? And why ?
Simply because we pay double for our food. Machinery !
Faugh ! Would a man have a well dug with fingers
and nails, because it would employ more hands than if
done with a spade and pick-axe ? and yet, herein lies
the whole question. If any be so foolish, let him ask,
how many wells would be wanted at the price they would
then cost ? and he will see at once the utter absurdity
of attempting to do without machinery. The hypocrisy
also of these landowners joining the outcry ought to be
exposed. Just think—these very men are themselves
offering premiums all over the country for the best ma-
, chines for the purposes of agriculture! and the renegade
Times is printed with perhaps one of the most wonder-
ful and labour-saving machines in the world ! Sir, I
admire the noble stand you have made for the working
classes, in advocating the destruction of their worst
enemy—the Bread-tax ; and I trust you will yet live to
see your reward. A•deputation should immediately be
sent to Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham, to do
away with the mummery so recently practised, and as
they were so delighted to see and receive such a deputa-
tion, they could not refuse to see another, though with
very different. views. To conclude, as there is a law to
keep up the price of food, let them be sure to ask where
is the law to keep up the price of labour. If the for-
mer must be still maintained, the latter is only justice.

THE LIVERPOOL CORPORATION SCHOOLS.
—A long, dull, and stormy debate in the Town-Council,
on Wednesday, was closed by the Tories consummating,
in spite of the protests of some of the most intelligent
and respectable of their party, the long-threatened act
of cruelty and injustice, by voting the exclusion of all
children of parents in Catholic communion from the
Corporation Schools.—Liverpool Journal.
