NICKEL INK ; or JOIINSTONE'S PER-
MANENT WRITING FLUID, under the patronage
of the Academy of Sciences; l'aris.
W. PEACOCK (by appointment) sole Agent for the above
incomparable Fluid, respectfully invites the attention of the
commercial public, and the literary and fashionable circles,
to some of the paramount properties of the Nickel Ink. It
stands unrivalled for its clearness and facility in writing, being
free from that gelatinous deposit which clogs and corrodes
the metallic pen. As a preventive of fraud in banking and
other commercial transactions, it pseseuts an important gua-
rantee, as it is indestructible (without injuring the surface of
the paper) by any of the chemical agents which destroy the
common inks. The colour of the Nickel Ink is a Scheelcs
green, but it dries a vivid and permanent black—a striking con-
trast to the rusty black of other inks and writing fluids.
Sold by W. Peacock, at 2, Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane ;

bottles, at 6d., Is., Is. 6d., and 2s. 6d. each.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—l expend, in round numbers, 3,0001. per annum. A
large proportion of this sum goes in affording employment,
which I have always considered as the most legttitnate means
of assisting the poor. But our new Grand Vizier's unwise and
unconstitutional scheme compels me to feel that charity begins
at home, and that 1 must trim the vessel of my domestic econo-
my, so that it may sail close-reefed. I, therefore, discharge a
groom, and sell two of my saddle horses, sell or destroy my
pine plants, that I may dismiss a labourer from my garden, atop
all ornamental work and improvement, that I may get rid of a
carpenter and two masons, with three more labourers. I let
my experimental farm, deferring useful draining and other ope-
rations, thus effecting a considerable farther reduction, princi-
pally in labour, and, with what other economical arrangement
time shall enable me to accomplish, shall consider myself as a
tolerably good match even for Sir Robert.
If all those who determine to adopt a similar plan, would
communicate their intention to some newspaper, would not the
Grand Vizier begin to think his absurd measure more likely to
injure the agricultural labourer, than the free admission of
fereiga corn ? I remain, Sir, respectfully yours,
ANTI-PIELER.

ANTI-CORN-LAW VERSUS THE
cIIARTER.

A public meeting of the Metrop;litaii Young Men's Anti-
Monopoly Association, convened by this Association at the
Political Institute, 55, Old Bailey, terminated on Monday last,
having been adjourned for three evenings, to consider "Whether
theret
e r en so any
ahope
a repeal of the Corn-laws until
the Charter becomes the law of the land." Messrs, H.
Preston, jun., Lyon, Shaw, P. A. Taylor, jun., White, Hogg,
Toms, Booth, and others, addressed the meeting in favour of
tr u
of
fh i
on b t
at
ihnet g
assertion so frequently made, that
free trade. Messrs. Webber, Peale, Martin, Fussey, Cowan,
Wall, &ca., spoke on behalf of the Charter. But it was not till
near the close of the discussion that the admission was wrung
from the Chartists that the Corn-law repealers were most
likely to obtain their objects first, thus yielding the point in
question. The most perfect order and'good feeling continued
throughout the whole of the discussion, and the meeting quietly
dispersed at a late hour till Monday next, when it is proposed
to consider ohether the present depressed state of the country
is to be attributed to the effects of machinery.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1, 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. Ths second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared. -

which I have always considered as the most legitimate means
of assisting the poor. But our new Grand Vizier's unwise and
unconstitutional scheme compels me to feel that charity begins
at home, and that I must trim the vessel of my domestic econo-
my, so that it may sail close-reefed. I, therefore, discharge a
groom, and sell two of my saddle horses, sell or destroy my
pine plants, that I may dismiss a labourer from my garden, stop
all ornamental work and improvement, that I may get rid of a
carpenter and two masons, with three more labourers. I let
my experimental farm, deferring useful draining and other ope-
rations, thus effecting a considerable farther reduction, princi-
pally in labour, and, with what other economical arrangement
time shall enable me to accomplish, shag consider myself as a
tolerably good match even for Sir Robert.
If all those who determine to adopt a similar plan, would
communicate their intention to some newspaper, would not the
Grand Vizier begin to think his absurd measure more likely to
injure the agricultural labourer, than the free admission of
foreign corn ? I remain, Sir, respectfully yours,
ANTI•PhELER.

MONSTROUS IMPOSITION ON TIIE POOR CONSUMER
OF SUGAR.—Eight thousand one hundred and fifty bags of
Manilla sugar were offered for sale last week by auction. Only
twelve shillings per cwt. were bid. It might probably be
bought for fourteen shillings per cwt., or one penny half-
penny per lb. ! ! The duty is sixpence three farthings per lb. !
The poor man must pay sevenpence per lb. for his sugar, owing
to the protection to the West India merchants, who have al •
ready received twenty millions sterling from the Beitish public.
People of England, how long will you bear suffering caused by
this two•edged sword cutting away all proceeds with which to
buy manufactures, thus employing the poor, and raising the
price of the necessaries of Iife.—JUSTICZ.

PIRIE, MAYOR.
AT a COURT of MAYOR and ALDERMEN,
held in the Inner Chamber of the Guildhall of the
City of London, on Tuesday, the 12th day of April, 1842, and
in the Fifth year of the reign of Victoria, of the United Kiog•
(tom of Great Britain and Ireland, Queen, &c., the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor laid before the Court two letters he had re-
ceived from the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Baronet, and the

Right Hou. Sir Jales Graham, Baronet, announcing that her
Majesty had been graciou.ly pleased to confer the dignity of a
Baronet of the United Kingdom upon his Lordship, which were
read.

Resolved unanimonsly,—That the letters of Sir Robert Peel
and Sir James Graham be entered upon the repertory ; and
this Court deem it incumbent upon them to express the high
sense they entertain of the honour conferred upon this City by
their Most Gracious Sovereign►, and their great satisfaction that
the auspicious event by which it has been occasioned has oc-
curred in the mayoralty of a man so eminently distinguished
for his public and private virtues as the present excellent Chief
Magistrate. EDWARD TYRRELL.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCIIESTER.—There was no improvement in our
market yesterday. Purchases of yarn are still made to
a fair amount,—probably, at present, to the full extent
of the production, but on terms dictated rather by the
necessities of the spinners, than settled by any refer-
ence to the cost. For goods there is very little de-
mand,. and many manufacturers of power-loom printing
cloths are said to be seriously contemplating an entire
stoppage of their looms. It is still hoped by many
parties that the reduction of the rate of interest by the
Bank of England, and the settlement of the financial
questions now pending in Parliament, 'will have a fa-
vourable effect upon business r but hitherto, certainly,
there are no apparent symptoms of the realisation of
these hopes.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 11.--
There has been another dull market to-day, and busi-
ness seems growing worse instead of better. Work be-
gins_ to be more scarce, and wages on the decline. The
Woollnarket has been flat, and little business done at
any prices.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
IPSWICH.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The poll-book having been put in evidence by the returning
officer,
,

Mr. John Hay, having been called by Counsel for the pe-
titioners, stated that he N, as a merchant in Ipswich. He had
formerly been Mayer of the borough. He had given the sum
of 1001. to the gentleman who had acted as Treasurer to the
sitting Members ; he was that amount out of pocket, having
contributed it towards defraying the expenses of the election.
The witness further admitted that a sum of 6001. had been de-
livered over by him to the same gentleman for the purpose of
the election. He could not say pobitively whether he had re.
ceived the money from Mr. Wason or from Mr. Rennie ; but
he thought it had been given to him by Mr. Wason.
Thomas Waller was next called, and deposed to his having
seen some of the gentlemen who were charged by the peti-
tioners with bribery in the room where the partisays of the
sitting Members used to assemble. _ .

The examination of the witnesses was not concluded at the
rising of the Committee, at a few minutes before four .'clock.

SUDBURY.

Further evidence was called in support of the case of the pe-
titioners.

Mr. HILDYAILD summed up the evidence at great length,
after which the Committee adjourned till 11 o clock to-day,
when Mr.:Austen will reply on behalf of the sitting Members.

C iNGFORD.

The Committee met yesterday at twelve o'clock, and gave
their decision that they should open the register. The investi-
gation will thus partake of the nature of a scrutiny'. After the
decision, the Committee proceeded to take the case of Jamea
Dogherty, which was not decided at four o'clock.
London, England, 1842-04-14

MUTINY BILL.

Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to know whether the Mutiny
Bill, or the Colonial Customs Bill, would be brought on first on
Friday.
Sir R. PEEL proposed to take the Mutiny Bill first, and if
the discussion on that did not extend to any great length, he
would take the Colonial Customs Bill afterwards.
London, England, 1842-04-14

CARDIGAN ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The SPEAKER inquired whether Mr. M. Blake
who had been nominated on this Committee, and had,
in consequence of non-attendance, been ordered to be
taken into custody, was in custody ?
The Sergeant-at-Arms replied that the Hon. Mem-
ber had not been taken into custody yet.
The SPEAKER then called the Members of the
Committee to the table, and informed them that they
were discharged from further attendance, on account
of the non-attendance of Mr. Blake ; also, that a new
Committee would be appointed on Thursday or Fri-
day next. —The Hon. Members then resumed their
seats.

On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. Grogan
and Mr. Irving were added to the Select Committee
on Poet-office Communication.

On the motion of Mr. E. TENNENT, the name
of Colonel Connolly was added to the Select Com-
mittee on the Fisheries (Ireland) Bill.

THE' TARIFF.

Mr. MILES gave notice that in Committee on the
tariff he should move that the duty to be levied on
live stock imported from foreign countries for the
purposes of food should be taken by weight.
Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS said, seeing the
Vice-President of the Board of Trade in his place,
he begged leave to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman
whether there was any objection to furnish the in-
formation required in a notice of motion which he
(Sir 11. Douglas) gave on the 12th of last month, for
the production of a return of all foreign wood entered
for home consumption, for the year ending the sth of
January, 1842, classifying every article according to
its value. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, whether the calculation by which the average of
41s. was struck, included all descriptions of wood,
such as fire-wood, which would of course materially
affect the average produced ?
Mr. GLADSTONE said there could be no objec-
tion whatever on the part of the Government to the
production of a return of this description, unless he
called its impracticability an objection. It was not
in the power of the revenue department to take
cognizance of the species of wood imported.
With respect to the publication to which his Hon.
Friend had alluded, he thought it was stated by the
Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Govern-
ment that the duty on all kinds of timber would be
between 41s. and 425. With respect to the latter part
of his Hon. Friend's question, he had only to say, that
undoubtedly inferior descriptions of wood were in-
cluded in the averages—(hear)—the effect of which
was to lower the averages by about 3s.—(Hear.) It
had been at first intended to tax timber and deals in
two separate clauses, and to tax lath and fire-wood at
20s. the load ; but in the amended tariff it would be
seen that these smaller woods had been differently
classed.

THP 10, DON GENERAL MOURNING
N WAREHOUSE, established for the sale of every article
requisite for Court, Family, or Complimentary Mourning,
Nos. 247, and 249, Regent:street, near the Circus, Oxford-
street, W. C. JAY and CO., proprietors.—The managers of
the above establishment beg h,,sve to call the attention of
ladies to its peculiar utility, and to the advantages presented
by their undertaking. It has ever been a source of inconve-
nience and regret, on occasions wh en mourning attire is re-
quired, that its purchasers have at such a time been com-
pelled to the harassing necessity of proceeding from shop to
shop in search of each distinct article of dress. This evil is
now most completely remedied at the London General Mourn-
in;; Warehouse, where every deseript lion of mourning, milli-
nery, dresses, cloaks, mantles, shawl &c., of the best qua-
lity, can be purchased at the most reasonable prices, and every
article necessary for a complete outfit of mourning, may be
procured at a moment's notice. l'he millinery rooms contain
an assortment of mourning bonnet s, caps., and head-dresses,
with a well-selected variety of skirts: for first and following
mourning. The dressmaking is superintended by an expe-
rienced artiste.

ADJOURNED DEBATE-DIVISION.

Mr. ELPHINSTONE inquired of the Right.
Hon. Baronet when he wished to bring the debate to
a close.

Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had no wish at
all upon the sub.;ect.—(Laughter.) There certainly
was a general concurrence of opinion last night
that the debate should close to-night.---(Hear, hear.)
He thought a legacy duty that would impose a, per-
manent duty in the transfer of real property formed
quite a separate proposition. As the Hon. Gentle-
man had expressed his disposition to enter into his
wishes with respect to expediting the debate, he
hoped he would not delay the House by introducing
unnecessary machinery.
Mr. ET, PHINSTONE wished to know if he
should be in strict order, if, when the Report was
brought up, he should move that it be recommitted ?
He could assure the Right Hon. Baronet that he had
no wish to produce delay. ; it was solely that he might
bring forward his proposition.
Sir It. PEEL asked.why the Hon. Member could
not bring it forward at a subsequent stage, and in a
separate form ?—(Hear, hear.) It .was. for imposing
a permanent duty, while this Bill was temporary.
A conversation ensued between the Hon. Gentle-
man and the Right Hon. Baronet, in which
Sir R. PEEL stated that he could not, as an advi-
ser of the Crown, give the consent of the Crown with
respect to any measure that should not be permanent.
Mr. WILLIAMS said, on bringing up the Report,
he should move that it be recommitted, in order to
bring forward his two propositions, which would go to
the extent of superseding the income tax altogether.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, that when last night he
gave his concurrence to the proposition of the Right
Hon. Gentleman, he had said that he could not
answer for those Gentlemen who had motions on the
paper.
