TITHE COMMUTATION.

THE Tithe Commissioners for England and Wales,
Hereby Give Notice, that, in pursiiiince of an applica-
tion made to them to that effect, and in consideration that
sufficient Security having been given to them for the due
payment of the Rent Charge in lieu of Tithes of the Town-
ship of GARSTON, in the parish a- Childwalli in the
county of Lancaster, they, the said Tithe Commissioners,
by virtue of the powers to that effect given to them by an Act
passed in the third year of the reign of her present Majesty,
intituled "An Act to explain and amend the Acts for the
Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales," have de-
clared, by an Instrument under their hands and official seal,
bearing date the twelfth day of August, 1842, that the Lands
of the said Township shall be discharged from the liability
to payment or render of Tithes or Compositions, or Rent in
the nature thereof instead of Tithes, from the days and times
as follows :—That is to say, such of the Lands in the said
Township as are now liable to the render of Tithes in kind,
from the first day of January, 1842 ; and such of the Lands
as are now liable to the payment of Compositions, or Rent
in the nature thereof, instead of the Tithes arising therefrom,
from the day on which such Compositions or Rent shall
respectively determine; and that the Rent Charges in lieu of
the said Tithes shall be paid, by half-yearly payments, on the
first day of July and on the first day of January ; and that
the first half-yearly payment of the said Rent Charges shall
be payable forthwith.

By order of the Board.

RECENT events have awakened so general a feeling of
the momentous importance of securing a protection rom
fire to Deeds, Records, M.SS., Books and Papers Ac-
compt, Cash, Gunpowder, and all combustible terials,
that THOS. MILNER and SON feel excused again in-
viting public notice to their Patent Fire-resisti, g Deposito-
ries. Having submitted their one-chamber;:. oxes, of one
inch in thickness, to severe trials in the prin .al towns, they
have received from the authorities of each the most satisfac-
tory certificates of their efficiency for ordinary casualties ;
and being confirmed in opinion by a long course of experi-
ment, that, under suitable modification of chambers and
thickness of boxes, the peculiar principle of their Patent is
capable of affording security under the severest ordeal likely
to occur in calamities of the kind, they respectfully solicit
the consideration of Gentlemen interested in mechanical
science to the subject generally, and investigation into the
pretensions of the various means of security in use, their
own amongst the rest.
M. and S. are prepared to submit their manufactures to
public trial with any others of equal dimensions, whilst their
comparatively moderate cost renders them extensively avail-
able.
The certificate of the satisfactory trial of their Boxes in
Liverpool bears the signatures of the following Gentlemen,
to whom permission of reference is kindly given ,
THOMAS BOLTON. Esq., (ex-Mayor,)
JOHN SHAW LEIGH, Esq., (the Mayor,)
Sir THOMAS BRANCKER,
BARTHOLOMEW PRESCOT, Esq.,
L. GRAHAM, Esq„
R. FRODSHAM, Esq.,
WM. STOCK, Esq.,
S. Woons, jun., Esq.
The more recent one below will be interesting to Ship_
owners and Builders, Gunpowder-dealers, &c., and is further
confirmatory of the capabilities of the principle :

Trial of Milner's Patent Fire-Resisting Principle, as a
Protection of Gunpowderfrom Fire.
Liverpool, June 20th, 1842.
We have this day witnessed the trial of one of Milner's
Patent Fire-proof Double-celled Gunpowder Magazines, of
twelve inches external, and six inches Internal diameter and
height, filled with highly combustible materials, papers, and
a packet of Gunpowder.
The same was placed in the centre of a fire consisting of
five to six cwt. of coal and a quantity of wood, and remained
therein upwards of three hours, during two-thirds of which
time the magazine was surrounded by a complete furnace of
intense heat.
Neither the inner magazine nor its contents were at all

THOMAS DISMORE, SILVERSMITH and JEWELLER
to the QUEEN, 35, BoLn.sTREET, respectfully informs
Merchants, Exporters, and the Public, that he supplies the
best Manufactured Goods at the same Prices as if purchased
in London. The following is the Price per Ounce of New
London stamped SPOONS and FORKS, of the plain Fiddle
Pattern. The Weights may be either heavier or lighter, at
the option of the purchaser :

If for Exportation, a. drawback of Is. 6d. per oz. will be

The PLATED GOODS are of a superior manufacture, and,
having Silver Edges, are, with confidence, recommended,
particularly as the same quality has been proved to wear
thirty to forty years without showing any appearance of being
Plated. _

Parties having purchased common Plated Goods, or having
any which, from long use, require Re-plating, are informed
that they can be Re-plated by the new Electro-process,
Specimens of which may be seen.
As Messrs. Dismottn and SON confine their attention ex-
clusively to the Manufactory in London, THOS. DISMORE
has greater advantages for executing orders in the newest
fashion (so important in Jewellery) and with better work-
manship than he could otherotherwiseoffer ; and, at the same
time, begs to observe that, as it is not his object to astonish
the reader by the low prices at which Goods can be made, he
feels confident that, the quality being considered, the prices
will be found extremely moderate.

ELECTRO-SILVER PLATE,
IN COMPLETE
BREAKFAST AND DINNER SERVICES.
DROMOLI and lIAUSBURG most respectfully an-
/
I. nounce, that they have entered into angements with
the Patentees for the supply of EL TRO-SILVER
PLATED ARTICLES, and, in =liner ing the advantages
peculiar to them, solicit the favour o n Inspection of the
Stock. They would particularly dire attention to the fol-
lowing points.
The Material cannot be distinguished from Silver, and
will resist all chemical actio❑ froi vegetable or other sub-
stances.

The brilliant appearance will be preserved many years,
merely requiring to be Cleaned by the same method as Sil-
ver, and the Articles ,nay be Replated, at a very moderate
cost, as often as may be required, rendering Mem equal to
new, an operation hitherto found impracticable.
It is manufactured upon the same principle as Silver, and
the Ornamental and, consequently, more prominent parts
not being filled with Lead, are not liable to be bruised, or to
injury from heat.
_

I'he distribution of the coating of Silver by the Electrical
Process, is perfectly equal in all parts : thus essentially dif-
fering from the ordinary Plated Goods, on which the Silver,
in the projecting and more exposed portions, is impover-
ished in the manufacture.

The Silver employed, being entirely free from alloy, will
not so soon tarnish, and is cleaned with much greater
facility.
Any Article, however varied in form and elaborate in de-
sign, previously unattainable except at a costly rate, may be
produced by this Process, with solid Crests, or other Orna-
ments that may be desired, exactly similar to the most ex-
pensive Silver Plate.
P. and H. would further observe, that the Prices are ex-
ceedingly moderate ; and, confident that their statement will
be found to be borne out to the fullest extent, trust that
their new undertaking will be honoured by the distinguished
patronage conferred upon them in other Branches of their
Business.

THE ORIGINATORS OF THE RIOTS.

The following letter appears in the Times of yesterday
have this morning received a letter from a very
respectable tradesman in the city, in which he says,—
. " London, Friday evening.
" On the authority of a friend just arrived from Man-
chester, I beg to inform you that the turn-outs are strongly
supported by some large influential manufacturers, who seem
to have taken an interest in influencing, if not originating,
the movement, by furnishing money, &c., to support the
turn-outs, with the evident intention of producing an effect
upon the market of goods, partly for clearing their large
accumulated stocks during the suspension of working, partly
for raising at the same time the prices of goods, through the
instrumentality of the orders now accumulating.
" The poor, helpless workmen are evidently the puppets
in this game, drawn by the wires of the rich and powerful
manufacturers, to serve the purposes of the latter, to make
more money.
" As soon as the object of these manufacturers is obtained,
they will withhold the sinews of war, and then their poor
victims will have to return to ill-paid toil. I should rejoice,
for the sake of the country, if the workmen were to obtain 4
better wages for less employment.
" It is also explained to me, that these large manufacturers
are likely to reap a double advantage by ruining, by means of
the suspension of labour, a good many of the smaller manu-
facturers, thus ridding themselves of much competition."
Add to the above, the facts which are notorious—the ex-
citing speeches in Parliament and out of Parliament—
speeches by M.P.s, paid lecturers, divines, and manufac-
turers, directly calculated, if they are not intended, to excite
their famished victims of revolt.

Add all these facts together, and doubt any longer, if you
can, that the Anti-Corn-Law-Leaguers are the contrivers
and supporters of the present turn-out amongst the manu-
facturing operatives.
The following extract from the last Sunday Times (one of
the organs of the Anti-Corn-Law-League) is a very import-
ant link in the chain of evidence on this interesting ques.
tion :
" Our readers are probably aware that the project of shut-
ting up all the mills in one day originated with this journal,
and that we have all along persisted in considering it as the
only means by which the repeal of the Corn-Laws was likely
to be obtained.

THOUGHTS ON THE CAUSES op THE ALARMING
CRISIS IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Fasque-by-Fittercairn, Kincardineshire,
August 15.
Sfu,—The session of Parliament is now closed ; among
the many important measures and general proceedings that
have distinguished its bourse, none appear to me to call more
for notice or remark troll the conduct of those members of •
the House of Commons who are either concerned in, or other-
wise connected with, the cotton manufactures of the country,
which alone-form at least a moiety of the whole; my atten-
tion has been more particularly called to what is stated to
have fallen from Mr. M. Philips and Mr. Cobden on the last I
day of the session ; these gentlemen complain bitterly that I
nothing to satisfy them has been done by Parliament to dimi-
nish or relieve the distress now prevailing among the working
classes in those districts, and impute great blame to the '
Government for their presumed neglect. I
I venture to think that it must be evident to every reflect-
ing person at all acquainted with the subject, and aware of
the causes that have produced the present distress, that, com-
paratively speaking, little could be done by the Government
for its immediate prevention or relief, that all within their
power has beon effected, which, although, from its nature, no
direct material or immediate relief could be expected to fol-
low, yet the liberal and judicious measures they have adopted
afford a reasonable prospect of gradual and permanent im-
provement in the state and comforts of those, and of all other
classes. In my humble opinion more is not at present in
their power, whilst I feel convinced that the reckless measures
pressed upon them by their Radical opponents, whose objects
and motives I do not mean to discuss, and particularly the
total repeal of the corn laws, would only tend to hazard con-
summating the ruin of the country, by discouraging and seri-
ouly diminishing home production, by depressing and inflict-
ing further injury on the great, agricultural body, after all,
the most important customers of the cotton manufacturers,
by placing the community in a state of dependence for food
on foreign supply, and that from countries whose Govern-
ments, it is well known' are actively employed in creating
means of employment for their greatly increased and increas-
ing population, by the establishment and protection given to
local manufactures.i Bread at moderate prices is necessarily
required to enable them to do so, which increased demand
from this country would so unfortunately interfere with, and
it therefore may be expected in such cases their Govern-
ments, to preserve moderate prices, might resort to prohibi-
tion of exports, cutting off our supply, whilst we, engaged in
discouraging and neglecting our home resources, would find
ourselves, whilst placed at the mercy of foreigners both as to
price and supply, exposed to be in a state of dependence and
uncertainty that it is most alarming even to contemplate. it
is also evident that those Governments, in thus protecting
their own manufactures for the employment of their people.
must be expected to discourage the importation of ours, as
is actually the case, and require us, as we have hitherto ex-
perienced to pay for such supplies of corn as they might find
it expedient to spare us with the precious metals alone, of
which our stock would soon be exhausted, and our case ren- '
dered hopeless ! I ask where could we expect to find means
to provide and pay for a foreign supply, such as would
essentially contribute to that of our population of 26,000,000
of souls, accustomed as they are to abundant supply, very
different from the manner in which our continental neigh-
bours are fed, and who, on a very moderate computation,
annually consume 22,000,000 quarters of wheat, 10,000,000
quarters of barley, and above 20,000,000 quarters of oats,
London alone also requiring fully 20,000 head of black cattle,
with 1,500,000 sheep, to meet her annual consumption? Let
us also take into our consideration the uncertainty of seasons,
the failure of crops here, and on the continent, or both, which
in such cases usually happens, with the extent of our home
growth greatly cut down, and those of the continent then
required for their own supply,—would not bitter distress and
regret then assail us, with the painful conviction of our most
improvident and mistaken folly? Ido not hesitate to say,
that to risk placing this country in such a situation, by the
repeal of our corn laws, thus withdrawing protection, ren-
dered necessary by the habits of the people and the great
weight of our public burdens, from which continental growers
are exempt, would be inflicting an alarming, if not fatal dis-
couragement to our present existing, and next to certain
sources of supply from home production, would border on
insanity, and appears to me like an act of national suicide.
But I must now return from this unavoidable digression to
the more immediate inquiry as to the causes which have led
to the prevailing distress in the manufacturing districts, in
which the reductions made in the rates of wages is that most
loudly complained of.
I do not hesitate to charge the master manufacturers with
being the cause of this state of things ; for many years they
have carried on a highly profitable and regularly increasing
business, annually producing large additional capital, for
which they had to find employment,—that employment they
sought for in the extension of their manufactures, which had
been the source of their wealth ; and although they some-
times felt an occasional pinch or warning from temporary
interruptions in demand, they went on building and rapidly
increasing their number of mills, improving the nature of
their machinery, so as to reduce the quantum of human
labour required in working it, and thus materially reducing
the relative number of people it was necessary for them to
employ in their work, whilst the population collected around
them went on rapidly increasing. The fruits of these mea-
sures was a great increase in the production of goods, una-
voidably followed by reductions in price, and also in-
creased export, with, for a time, increased home consump-
tion ; but all things have their limits ; notwithstanding the
reduced prices, the supply was also so increased that every
foreign market was overstocked, and the confidence of the
home buyers shaken, who, not being able to discover where
and when such reduction was to stop, though repeatedly ex-
pected to do so, no longer kept np their stocks by regular
purchases.
In this state of things, to support or extend the scale of
operations, still lower prices appear to have been considered
necessary; lout these could only be adopted without injury
to the masters by a still further reduction in the low scale of
wages previously paid to their workmen ; this was, therefore,
resorted to by several establishments, and would, no doubt,
have become general, but for the alarm it produced among
those people who felt that, after every exertion they could
make, their remuneration was already reduced to rates barely
sufficient to sustain life with strength sufficient for bodily
labour ; they, in consequence, have resisted, from which has
followed the present distress, discontent, and insubordina-
tion, which all must unite in deprecating, as well as in cen-
suring the causes which have led to such unfortunate conse-
quences.
Let not those gentlemen who have pursued this course im-
pute to others the evils of which they are themselves the
authors, but let them return to more moderate measures,
and by restricting their scale of reduction to that of regular
demand, in place of forcing•an extent of trade injurious to
themselves and others, be enabled to obtain such prices for
their goods as will admit of their paying wages to their
people at rates to satisfy their reasonable demands. We are
now, thanks to God, engaged, by the blessing of His provi-
dence, in reaping an abundant harvest, and we are also, un-
der the operation of the new corn-law, receiving, and are
likely to continue to receive, large supplies of foreign corn,
from all which material reduction in the price of bread must
follow as the inevitable fruits of abundance; moderate wages
will then be sufficient to meet the wants and comforts of the
working classes ; let their masters then look forward to such
changes to enable them, with more prosperous times, to ex-
tend production in proportion to increasing consumption,
without attempting a further reduction, but rather looking
forward to the means being in their power to increase and
restore the former rates of wages paid to their people, and
no longer attempt to place the great interests of the country
in a state of jeopardy by vainly urging the adoption of de-
lusive measures, which, were it possible they could succeed
in carrying them into effect, would, in all human probability,
involve themselves, as well as the community at large, in
great national distress and general disorganization.
These gentlemen have reaped the profits of their systems,
and it is to be hoped they will for a time submit patiently to
the disappointment or loss caused by the reverses which have
followed them as the fruits of their success. I contend they
have no right to call on the country to make further sacri-
fices for their separate advantage or protection. It is the
principle of our poor laws, that the property of each district
of the country shall provide for the wants of those among
them requiring assistance. This principle may press heavily
in the present instance, yet, notwithstanding, it most be
applied and acted upon, as being just and reasonable in itself.
I thus, from a sense of duty, avail myself of the right pos-
sessed by every individual, however humble in station, to
state the sentiments I entertain at the present crisis on a
subject that is most interesting to every one, and in the hope
that better times are approaching, I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

Of Carlton-gardens, London.

To the EDITOR of the MANCHESTER COURIER,

Worsley, August 18, 1842.
Sir,—Your readers and yourself will, I hope, acquit me of

insertion of the copy of an address which I have just received
from a large body of colliers in my employ, with some explana-
tion of the circumstances which have produced it :

amongst us when your lordship addressed us in such an affec-
tionate and kindly manner, we feel, as your lorship stated,
that we are utterly incapable of expressing our gratitude and
love towards you ; therefore, as ;with the voice of one man,
We declare our design that we are willing, as far as life and
safety seems probable to enable us, to defend your honour

THE PREMIER AND THE EX-FOREIGN

MINISTER.

The Journal des Debats, one of the most influential of the
French papers, speaking of Sir Robert Peel's speech in
reply to Lord Palmerston's review of the Session, charac-
terizes it as one of the most happy efforts of eloquence, and,
in respect to our French relations, judicious and seasonable.
The following are some of this journal's remarks :
" The reply of Sir Robert Peel is generally considered as
one of the most happy efforts of eloquence ever made by
that statesman during his parliamentary career. Certainly,
considering that this reply was impromptu, the vivacity and
the nerve with which the Premier successively repelled all
the attacks of his spirituel adversary cannot but excite ad-
miration."
" We particularly call attention to that part of the speech
of Sir R. Peel where he speaks of the relations of England
with France. It is impossible to meet with sentiments more
honorable than those which are expressed by the Prime
Minister of England, and we cannot help believing that such
language, and the testimony of a sympathy so sincere in all
that concerns the greatness, the happiness, and even the
grief of France, must contribute powerfully to calm and even
extinguish those feelings of national hostility which we grieve
to see again raised.
" We are at a loss to know what reply Lord Palmerston
could make to the powerful apostrophes addressed to him bo
Sir R. Peel when he asked him what he had done with the
friendship and alliance of France."
Of Lord Palmerston's speech the Journal des Debats drops
observations which in many points very closely coincide
with the opinions we expressed in the last number of the
Intelligencer ; and the Paris Correspondent of the Britannia,
a London weekly paper. shows a still closer coincidence
with our sentiments. The following extract is from the
Debats

" The sitting of the House of Commons of the 10th was
distinguished by one of the most brilliant oratorical tourna-
ments of which the English Parliament has for a long time
been the theatre. Lord Palmerston and Sir R. Peel alone
took part in a discussion which lasted several hours. It is
the custom in England, at the moment of the prorogation
of Parliament, for the leader of the opposition, in one of the
Houses, to enter into a critical review of the legislative la-
bours of the Session. Under the last government it was
Lord Lyndhurst, who, in the House of Lords, thus made
the annual political accusation against his opponents. This
year the scene has been transferred to the House of Com-
mons. The work of general criticism, which is called the
review of the Session, should have been made by Lord John
Russell, but lie was not present, and delegated the task to
Lord Palmerston. His lordship is, without doubt, a man
possessing much esprit ; he is one of the most skilful de-
baters in the house ; he excels in the art of showing things
in their best colours, and giving the appearance of success to
the most undoubted checks. Lord Palmerston required all
the dexterity of his eloquence to accomplish his task, for in
attacking the policy of his adversaries he had naturally to
defend that which he had pursued for ten years, and in the
responsibility of which he shared. The task could not be
confided to better hands, for if he possesses any quality equal
to the fruitful resources of his eloquence, it is an impertur-
bable assurance, to which his adversaries give a less mild ap-
pellation. At a time when the boldest statesman lose their
confidence in the future strength and power of their country,
Lord Palmerston alone preserves a confidence in himself.
He represents, in the most favourable point of view, if not
the justum, at least the tenacem propositi virum ; he speaks
in the most composed manner of all the ruin which he has
made, impavidum ferient ; and under the blow of the dis-
asters of Affghanistan, the prolonged war in
.China, the dis-
organisation of the Ottoman empire, the 'change in the
relations of Great Britain and America, the French alliance
destroyed, and the peace of the world compromised, Lord
Palmerston feels sufficient self-assurance to congratulate his
opponents on the brilliant inheritance bequeathed them by
the last ministry, and to hold up, in the most exalted point
of view, the glorious results of all those enterprises in which
England has been blindly thrown by the policy of the Whig
government. He has made a speech full of eloquence and
sarcasm ; but unfortunately he had to deal with a powerful
antagonist, and the vigorous reply of Sir Robert Peel tended
to assuage the enthusiasm inspired by the ex-Minister of
Foreign Affairs, by the remembrance of his victories and his
conquests. These two speeches form a complete review of
the present state of English policy."
