MMKOD .\IIlWA1J, l'OT.Hru, 2 VOLS. Xinuod thinks that the condition of the French labouring da.s is "cry much superior to that 01 the village poor in Kngland, Their wages, in proportion to the French price of food, are much higher, the rent of their cottages lower, and the mode of their living, though not its equallv comfortable and at a much lower cost. Nhnrod thinks that the Knglish writers are in inueh enur?hen they.speak with so much con- tempt of the soups and wine u?d by the French pnor )f th, "in,! i, at 1,?,,t g,),l as the );:Il::t a'I¡):;htIl;e ¡:¡(ît I;l']':il{:f j?riortowhatis?tld asalcmuurpubhc-housc YiUa?s.

'SufMk.?tYor]i..shhe.Ai''rc!Kh- man, also, never spends hisva? in a public- honc; he gtts his coilee at about one penny an ounce, and two ounces of it is a sutKeient meal lor a large family. Under the French laws, landed property lias become exceedingly divided, so that there are very few large landed estates in any part of France. "I should have hired a farm," said Ximrod, lt but that 1 iound I could not ma- i aire French servants. The French spoil their e<:vants in two ways first, in uvcl-i1\t1uigt'lH'C by setting them run about the country to letes, dances, ^e. secondly, by admitting them to a ["0 great equality with themselves.

At an carly hour of t]w morning of Tuesda y the workmen of one of the lode. hou.s at Cyfartha iron works were horrified at uing a girt lush in a state of almost complete ninlitv, and suffering dreadfully from burns which almost covcicd her. l1c was innnedintcly rc- ceived and dressed, and on questioning her it was discovertd t11:\t she was .1111 Hies, the daughter of lices Kccs, a gamekeeper lit ltliygos, "hu had figured its the female sailor as before Mated. She informed the attendants upon her that she had come 11}> to Merthyr the prvious day, in the hope uf getting imployed as a u tip-girl," but not suc- ceeding, !Iud haY-illg no money wherewith to pay for lodging, she went to rest for the night in one the night lodges, iu which there are generally lires kept. She fell off to sleep, and while in this state her clothes by some accident became ignited allll were literally burnt from off her person. After suffering twenty hours' I\1ostexcruciating torment, death put an end to her suffering. Her father states that she absconded from his house a month or five-weeks since, and that he has been nnable to trace her out. Those who knew her think that her intellect was impaired. TilE BISHOP OF NORWICH'S OPINION OF THE TKLTOTAI.LEHS.— What I object to is their vio- lence, that they will not allow people to be sober their own way, so that if they will not follow with- out deviation, their rules auil regulutions, they are denounced as traitors to the cause of temperance nay, I hayp- heard the whole body of the British ant Foreign Tcnlperancc Society denounced as worse than drunkards. It is really a sort of para- dox, for I am sure that yon, my Lord, and every person in this 'room, has the greatest possible dis- like to intemperance in any shape; and it is, therefore, hard to be denounced, and I only regret that we are not in Exeter hall with Teetotallers around us, I should then think myself justified in using such arguments as I thought tit against their exclusive system. They are temperate, certainly, but it is a physical kind of temperance temper- ance docs lwt consist in mere abstinence from WillC 01' frIH spirits, but. ill abstinence also from Hny th1H that conduces tu unhinge the human IniHd, and to unfit it for the societ y in whieh it moves. This is too much to be seen in Tcetotalists they are ( by a sort of 11101a1 intoxication, if we may so call it; when once their passions are excited they know nu bounds, they irritate, op- pose, and denounce, which is all foicign to the :did principles of the gospel. Again, there are certain fallacies in their arguments which ought 10 be exposed. They object to any thing contain- jug alcohol. Then, why don't t}HY ubju,:t to sugar Their common sense is at tanlt :is well as theirchemistiy. III order to explainthementiiin ,,1' wine in Scriptures, they try to lIJuk" out thut it is unfernicntcd wine, instead of perceiving that the great principle (,1' :cdptul'c is (its might be illus- trated by passages innumerable) that it is the abuse, not the use of a tiling, in which s in lies. I think Teetotallers are in some sort morally intoxi- cated upon this point and, judging troin their conduct upon too many occasions, I might almost say they were labouring under a species of ddirium trcl/wlts. STUONO I'HYSIC.—A farmer, near Tilbury, Esc", of the 01<1 chool, was taken ill and sent for )1r. Ford, surgeon, at Grays, who finding his patient suffering from the prevailing bowel complaint, re- quested that a man or boy might be sent for the medicine. On his arrival at home he found a boy wanting, and while he was preparing the necessary llJedicine, the boy watched every opportunity of llippillg his fingers into a jar which contained, as he thought, treacle, but which was in reality syrup of buckthorn, placed in the passage to cool. The doctor noticed this, but in order to give him a useful practical hint aid nothing, and allowed him to help himself to a quantity sufficient to take effect speedily, not doubting unt the subsequent operation would prove an effectual cure to his curiotit Y, On giving him the medicine, however, for his master, he toldllÍm to carry it as far from his person as tlllil- it stiong, and that if he did not keep it at as great a distance as he could, it would have the strange ef- fect of operating upon him before he reached heme, 'file boy was rather alarmed at this, and held it out it; anll's length, the arm being extended to tnlif.,ht a line as he l'uuld preserve but he had not gone for before the syrup began to do its work so effectually, that he thought he would put :■Aich strong physic still fun her from him, and l'ut- liL a stick hi- ti; his gaiter mal with is fast- ened the bottle to tiie cud of thc stick, anil held it out :1: far a his ann \11.\1\1 stretch. otwith- standing, even this precaution availed him littlc} the buckthorn "would do its .-¡>i,ililJ," alld hy 110 means gently." OIl r. aching his master's resi- dence, Ids mistress, obseiviug that he carried the medicine tied to the eud of a long stick, quickly apprised the worthy farmer theicd', who immedi- ately Min iiiimd ;iie lad into I,i, presence, and asked )llll th r< :i>on la' cairn d it so..Ihe boy, scratching his head, informed him of the doctor's caution, and nanatcd its futility, which occasioned him I. cut that ,n' stick ami tie the physic to it to keep it further off."

THE Co.MI'LiiTE SUFFHAOE CoNVL.NTI..N.-Biit- MIXOIIAM, MONOVY.—A meeting of the inhabi- tants of UirmiiHiam" was convened this morning, at the rooms lately occupied by the Mechanics' Institution, New hall-street, for the purpose of electing six delegates to the complete suffrage t, be held here on fuesday, the 27th December. Although means were taken to give the aifair the greatest possible publicity, the at- tendance was very limited, and did not at any time exeecd 800 persons. Mr. Joseph Sturge presided, supported by the flee. Thomas Swann, Baptist minister, one or two members of the So- ciety of Friends. Messrs. White and Arthur O'N^ eill, leaders of thc respective parties of physical fureu and Christian chartists, both gentlemen being at present out on bail, and several of their immediate supporters. The platform was aiso graced by a goodly arrav uf female chartists, disciples of Mr. O'Nciil. Mr. Sturge opened the meeting, after which Mr. Morgan, soUcitor.readaptan of the proceedings tobe adopted at thcconferenee. which is to be attended bv deputies from the principal towns, their deliberations relating to the adoption of a petition to Parliament in favour ot the six points in the people's charter. He also stated the mode in which the election was to be made, in order to prevent undue favouritism, or the possi- b lity of one party stealing a march on the other. Mr. it force chartist, considered the whole affair as having been got up for the purpose of aiding the auti-eorn-law party, and de- nounced it accnrdingly. This gave rise to much explanation and a very noisy discussion, and when at 9t over the meeting proceeded with the election of delegates, when six pcrsuns were appointed, including Mr. Feargus O'Connor. THE REAI. WOKTH OF CHARTISM.—On Saturday the provincial organ of chartism, the Northern Star, published the balance-sheet of the execu- tive" for the last quarter. This custing-up of accounts" will enable the public to judge of the extent of chartism, and the sympathy which its advocates tind in the mass of the population,better than by the 3,000,000 signatures asserted to have been attached to the National Petition. From the recent disturbances in the north, it would be imagined by those who are not aware of the ease with which the unemployed and discontented workmen of that district are excited, that such a bustling place as Ashton, where chartism boasts of having taken up a strong position, would show a very respectable muster of what O'Connor styles 11 blistered hands" in support of the charter, and also a goodly contribution to assist in its con- summation. The balance-sheet, however, shows that Ashton has but GO fraternizing" char- tists and that their permanent resources for the quarter amount to exactly the sum of 10s. At Birmingham, where chartism is supposed to be, numerically s peaking, stronger than in any other part of the kingdom, there are but 174 bona fide paying" chartists and the amount they have sent ill" to the executive, during the lat three months, is ISs. 4d. ;—18s. 4il. or £3, 13s..111. per annum, from in support of the cliai-t(,r 'I'Iiis is sympathy, indeed. Coventry adds 100 chartists to the ranks, and His. Hd. to the funds. Carlisle gives £ ,) Darlington, i'-ii; Derby, £ 1 lluddersfield, £ 1. ISs; Hull, £ 1. 12s. Gd.; Halifax, £ 1. 15s. id. Liverpool has 2S0 com- municating" chartists, and pays £ 1. 13s. 2d. and Manchester, with its 521 brethren, sends JEU. 17s. 4d. Such are the bona fide indications of the strength of a faction whose noise and vio- lence, artfully associated with the distress unfor- tunately so general in the north,have half "frighted the isle from its propriety." The grand total in the income of the executive for three months, from the 3,000,000 of partisans, friends, and sympa- thizers, is £160. Is. 5d. The greater portion of the sum has been swallowed up by three of the principal itinerant lecturers: Dr. M'Douall's "wages" and travelling expenses, for two months, amount to £ 35. 10s.; Bairstow's, to £ 33. 8s.; and Leach's to 1:2 1. 10s. the three taking E90. 8s. This is agitating to some purpose. The extent, nature, and value of chartism may be well judged of from the fact that a laborious organization, carried on in every county of England, has en- abled its various associations to induce only 11,303 persons to enrol themclves as members at two- pence per quarter;and of these 11,3G3 there are no fewer than 13 who have neglected to pay their twopenecs. STAFFOKDSimu;.—A numerous meeting of the magistrates of Staffordshire, was held in the Shire Had, Stafford, on Wednesday se'nnight, F. Twem- low, Esq, in the chair for the purpose of consid- ering the expediency of establishing a I'oliee Force within the county, according to an Act passid in the session of the 2nd and 3rd years of Queen Victoiia, intituled An Act for the establishment of Com It yand District Constables by thc authority of J tistic of the Peace and also to take into consideration another Act, passed in the 3rd and ,1 tll years of the reign of her said Majesty, intituled "An Act for the establishment of County and District Constables and to determine whether it would he expedient or not to introduce a mea- sure founded upon its enactment into the county of Stafford, or into one or more divisions thereof. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen present were the Ivarl of Dartmouth, Viscount Sanilon, M.P., the Hon. K. Littleton, Fh Bullcr, F.sq.M.P., Alderman l'opcland, M.l' C. B. Adderloy, Lsq.

Mr. H. Foley seconded the resolution. A lengthened discussion arose and an amend- ment was moved by Major Chetwynd and second- ed by Mr. Hill that the provisions of the Act 2nd and 3rd Victoria be not extended to the rural dis- tricts of Staffordshire. On a division the original proposition was carried by a large majority. The salary of the Chief Constable was then fixed at L;)56, with a sum of not more than £ 100. a year for tnwelluig expences. A committee was ap- pointed to carry out the resolutions agreed to, and th<. n1l'cring was dissolved. PREVENTION OF SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION AT SEA.—A letter has b,'1'H received at Lloyd's from their agent at Sydney, addressed to W Dobson, Esq., enclosillf; rertain suggestions by a Dr. W. Bland, (ft the subject of spontaneous combustion of wool in ships, and submitting certain plans for its prevention. The whole is too voluminous for insertion, but the following will be found to be the substance :—The doctor suggests as a pre- ventive the use of carbonic acid gas, as its spc- I iiic gravity and solubility iu atmospheric air, does not picvent its subsisting in that fluid, and remaining unmixed, even under extensive expo- sure toils action. With regard as to what sub- stance would best siffrod the supply of gas re- quired, he states that about 400 lbs of carbo- nate of lime in the inrin of whitening, chalk, the poorer marbles and limestone, yield about liiO lbs of carbonic acid gas, and more than sufficient to fill a spate of 20,000 cubic feet, or 000 tons bv measurement; that the admix- ture o: one part of carbonic acid gas to four of atmospheric air will prevent or extinguish com- bustion. The mode of application he advises is, to have a cask in each hold placed on the keelson, pciforated in the uppi r third of it, caeli about an inch in diameter, the lower two thirds to be lined internally with lead. Into the head of each cask a metallic tube of about an inch in diameter to be fixed, leading from the deck the whole length of each tube to be protected by a strong casing of wood. Kach cask to be provided with the lequisiie quantity of whitening, and when required for use pour down by means of the tube the requisite quantity of sulphuric acid, diluted in the propoition of about one of the acid to four or live of water, when the carbonic acid gas would liisr, rse along tho vi.is.el, aud replaieall atini .'i'h.ju ;ur. KIIVIIIISI; OF FORTUNE.—A water-hawker at Bradford, named William Sewell, well known under the cognomen of" Water Bill," has this, week eome into possession of a fortune of 10,0001, which sum has been bequeathed to liim by a rich, aunt, residing at Bath.—Leeds Merevri/. LONGEVITY.—Died on Saturday, in the Graves- end and Milton union-house, of which she had been an inmate some years, Ann Hoy, aged 104 years. Her death was unaccompanied with any previous symptom of approaching dissolution. She had never experienced illness, and enjoyed the use of her faculties unimpaired to the last, She was cheerful in spirits and active in body, employing herself to the day previous to her death in the common domestic duties of the house. There are several residents in this union of very advanced age, lour or live between 90 and 100;* one in particular, a woman, named Brewster,at;(d 9ft, who possesses all her faculties in an extraordinary degree, and is full of bustle and activity. Her favourite occupation is needle- work, which she executes with admirable neat- ness without the aid ol glasses. Wearc apt to in (iitr youth that the sweet cup of life has not a drop of hitter; but we all soon discover that it is not so. W ith life, as with everything else, we find the bright and the delightful" scattered thinly amidst an immensity of baser matter. Those who seek pearls arc obliged to plunge into the deep briny sea to drag them up, Hnd evea then, perchance, out of every shell, ten will be worthless but did we find pearls hanging amongst grasses, or diamonds at the root of roses, we should value neither one nor the other as they merit. As it is, the threads of pain are woven so intimately in the web of life, that they form but one picei; and wise was the hand that ordered it so. THE I'H.EPIIAST AND THE TURXMKE GATE.—On Thursday the 27th ult. as Mr. Van Amburgli's elephant was going to Wellington, ready for the next day's performance, on coming to the turn- pike gate, which was shut, the gateman refused to open the gate unless the conductor paid extra toll, which he refusing to do, went through the side-wicket,saying to the elephant, Jaik, I must go without you." But it was not to be so for Jack would be as good as his master; so, without any ceremony, Jack applied his proboscis to the gate, and just eased itself of the hindrance by prostrating the gate in the road, to the no small amazement of the gatekeeper. We understand there was some injury done to the gate, the ex- pense of which the keeper cheerfully paid. AHUNDAXCEOFGAMKIN Kl:T.-l>ecimus Dvke, Esq., of Lullingtone Castle, shot in three days last week 801 brace of birds no bad specimen of a good workman at this season of the year, and quite as relllalkable as either Suffolk or Norfolk in point of ahuudance of game. l'p to this time 500 brace have been bagged in the same neigh- bourhood.— Kentish Ohserrer. On Thursday last, Baron Rothschild's hounds met at Wccdon Lodge, the seat of Lord Nugent, and on the stag being uncarted he ran a half-circle to Rowsham, down to the brook then pointed to Aston Abbotts, passing to Mr. lload's, of Naldock, crossing the brook, and on to Ir, Rowland's, over Crcslow-field to the Buckingham road, which he crossed at Hurdlesgrove-hill. lie then set his head straight for North Marston, and on to Grand- borough, his point being to East Claydon here bore a little to the right, skirted Winslow, and on to Great Horwood field, which he crossed, and on to the borders of Whaddon Chase, where he was safely housed, after a very fast and excellent run of one hour and a quarter over as fine a hunting country as any in Fhigland.

ExTRAouniNAitY DISCOVERY.—At the condu. s ion of the lecture at the Polytechnic Hall, I-al- mouth, Mr. Robert Hunt, the secretary, announc- ed the discovery by himself of a mctallie plate which would receive, by mere contact, impres- sions of any printed page, an engraving, or the like, This discovery was arrived at by following out the recent discoveries of Moeser, that bodies were constantly making impressions upon each other in absolute darklle,. by the agmcy, as he considered, of latent light, but which Mr. Hunt I thinks he has certain proof of being latent heat. The impression received on the metal is at first invisible, but is readily brought out by the means of any vapour. Mr. llunt exhibited some speci- mens of wood HlII1\opper plate engravings, copied from the paper into the metal. These copies ex- hibited every line of the original, and were far more distinct than any of the early Daguerreo- types. Ir. Hunt proposes to call this new art thermography'.— West Briton. I HnL\IŒAIILE CASE o? PIRACY..—Wc find in the Sydney G nettc,' of the 1Ih of June, a letter from Mr. William Christie, master of the barque Water Witch, of London, giving an account of that ves- scl having been run away with by the chief mate, and a portion of the crew, from Lord Howe's Is- land. The following is the narrative of the capt. abridged I sailed from the port of London on the 18th January, lHlO, in command of that vessel, which belongs to Benjamin Ilorton.lCsq., Mincing- lanc, London, on a whaling voyage; in conse- quence of their being serious illness on board, which caused great mortality, I put into Sydney, for the purpose of refiting and fully manning my that dOIlC, I sailed from thence in conti- nuation of my voyage, about the latter end of Fe- bruary hist. On my cruise to the nort}¡wmd, 1 touched at Lord Ilwe's Island, on the 23ril of March last, for the purpose of procuring supplies, to enable me to make a long cruise, and not to be detained by touching elsew here. Previous to my leaving the vessel, 1 furnished my chief mate, whom I had engaged in Sydney, and whose name was Frands King, with written instructions for his guidance on board, during itiy brief but una- voidable absence on shore. On landing, 1 pro- cured, and immediately despatched to the vessel a considerable part of the suppli\ but owing to sc- veral other ships being there for the same puqw:ie, I deemed it advisable to remain on shore for the night, with my boat and crew, with the intention of more speedily completing my arrangements, and leaving the island next day. Early next morning, the captains of the other vessels, in com- pany", came on shore, mul in answer to lOY inqui- ries regarding thc Water Witch (whieh hnd been kept all the preceding day in the position laid down in my written instructions to Captain King) they informed me that they had observed her that morning a long distance off, standing to the south- westward, since which I have been unable to learn any account of her whatsoever, and thus, together with my boat's crew, consisting of six persons, I have been left on the island in a most painful and distressed state of mind, alleviated "nly by the kindness and attention which we all experienced from Captain Owen Poole, a resident there, during the whole of our sojourn at the island. However, on the 2ndinst. the Lady Rowena, of Launccston, arrived off the islsnd, and Captain Mills cheerfully acceded to my request for a passage for myself, crew, and whale boat towards Sydney-heads." The Captain subjoins a description of the vessel, and then follows a deposition of Captain Owen Poole to the truth of Christie's statements. The boat's crew which was left ashore also confirm the story. Died, on Sunday, the 30th of October, at Wat- tlcton Farm, Beaconsfiehl, Ir. Holfe, aged 80. Mr. Rolfe's history shows what may be accom- plished by persevering industry and integrity, lie was hired, when young, as a ploughboy at Wat- tleton Farm, at three pounds per year wages. NN ')tell arrived at manhood, lie lnnnied arc^pecta- ble industrious young woman, and h' put¡in¡:: their little savings together, they bought a cow, and Ruld the miik m the town 01 Beaconstield. After a time they purchased a second cow, and their inclthtry induced a person to let them a little brm, Mr. H. being considered a man of judgment and impartiality was frequently engaged to value crops and fanning stock, and after a time took the farm on which he laboured as a ploughboy. A few years ago his son, Mr. John Rolle, was employed by E. \allcr, Esq, to sell the Great Hall Bam Estate. He sold it to Sir Gore Ouseley, and Mr. Waller chose lr. ,Tohl1 Hulle to value the timber, anel the purchaser was to appoint another person on his behalf. -Sir Gore said he was '0 well Ra- tisfied with the judgment and integrity of Ir. H. that he would abide by his valuation; and as a proof of the high, opinion he had of his honesty, and to oblige Sir. Rolfe, sold him the larm on j which his father livel] and once laboured as a ploughboy, at his own price. Thp old gentleman was so gratefully surprised when his son told him what he had done, that he burst into a flood of tears.

Apint of tfJt lilutiUc liournat0. [EH.] .L If we were to saY that on the pageantry or me festivities of Lord Mayor's Day, we iound our present views of domestic polities, the intimation would doubtless bc met with hearty litughter. And yet, in a qualified sense, such is nevertheless the ease. Under a Conservative Government, when Parliament is not sitting, there are no op- portunities for ascertaining the course of the Mi- nistry, beyond what are afforded by those public iissemblies at which the advisers of the Crown are present, and where, notwithstanding a general disclaimer of political allusion, enough is com- monly hinted to eonvey a tolerable notion of all that is left unsaid. It is with this impression only that we refer to the Banquet at the Guildhall on Wednesday last. In returning thanks when his health was proposed, Sir Robert I'eel made a speech, as guarded as his speeches usually are, yet, delivered as it was, in presence of a great commercial assemblage, almost necessarily making reference to the general principles on which his Government is founded. That reference was very general, indeed; and, on the whole, sati>-lactory. Still there was one point in the ohscryatioJls uflhe Minister that we cannot avoid noticing, because it shows that he has not yet become convinced 11 what we have on more than one occasion ventured, with all deference, to consider a material error in his political system. In enumerating the various objects that he had especially at heart, he parti- cularised his desire to "encourage a demand for lpbor." Now, we cannot help thinking that what is wanted in the present circumstances of our po. pulation, is a due remuneration for labor, ior labor, at a rate of wages at, or only just above, the starvation point, there wili seldom fail to he a de- mand; it is to labor so paid as to enable the poor man to maintain his family in such comfort as is suitable to its habits, that we ean alone look as the means of diffusing general contentment, and put- ting an end to those periodical outbreaks of insub- ordination that, checked though they may be for the time, cannot fail in the end to endanger the whole social system. Sir Robert afterwards spoke of his anxiety to extend commercial prosperity," and in this object no man of good sense and good feeling would refuse to co-operate. It must never be forgotten, however, that such prosperity, to be sound and permanent, must not be that of one class only it must include as well the man who furnishes, as him who employs, labor; and, we think the want of detiniteness on this point, al- though it may not have been remarked by the ca- pitalists who were present, was injudicious on the part of the first :\1inister of the Crown. Some al- lusion to the commercial system of the country, apart from politics, hut solely in reference to its illllllence on the working classes, would have been at least graceful, and no unapt preliminary to those inquiries into the subject, which univei>alopinion looks to as one of the first duties that Parliament, when it shall re-assenible, will have to perform. As to the maintenance of peace at any sacrifice but that of the honor and interests of the country, and a determination to suslain uutarnislwd the lustre of the British arms, where war is unavoid- able, these are what all Ministers profess, though not all with the sincerity of Sir Robert Peel, The few, but gratifying words oil the necessity of up- holding public credit, and persevering in the main- tenance of public faith, must have sounded oddly in the ears of the Spanish Minister, who was sit- ting by, and not been particularly pleasant to the diplomatic representative of the tOnitcd States. To the one they must have spoken of violated en- gagements and broken promises to the other, of. that system of "repudiation" by which tive mil-I lions sterling have been taken out of the pockets i of the Knglish public. foi.OHB.l When Cardinal Mazarin declared, "qneV hon- netetv n'trzit fa if I' que pour /rv bouryeois, t'f tjuonne devuit nullement 11 afoir t'</ard dans Vadministration des affairespubliques" he could not have imagined that lie was propounding a maxim which would hc <0 readily adopted hy othcr ministers, l'spccially English Chancellors of the Exchequer. As a ii. nancier, he considered all means justifiable which tended to promote his designs; still we conceive even he might have doubted the fairness and the policy of the measures now about to be inflicted on the holders of the 31 per Cent. Annuities. In our paper of Saturday, we gave insertion to some remarks from a corrl-spotitleiit upon this iniquitous scheme, and we now subjoin an expose from the same quarter, how oppressively these operations of the minister fall upon individuals. £ e. d.

[MOKNIXG HKRAI.11.] On Thursday evening last Mr. J. S. Bucking- ham, the quondam representative of radicalism in Sheffield, undertook to star it" at Manchester for the benefit of the ,nti-Corn-Law Leauc. Some- thing fresh was assuredly requisite to give a fillip to the cause; but we doubt whether the name and fame of Mr. J. S. linekingnam were not commo- dities somewhat too stale for the depression of the market. Anti-corn-law agitation is far from looking up," notwithstanding all the bluster 01 the dealers in it, and in speculating for a rise thry might surely have brought into play a doen spcechifiers of much heavier metal. It is but justice, however, to admit that the efforts of Mr. iiuekingham were not impaired by any sueh de- rogatory opinion of his own power and import- ance. He evidently felt satisfied that he was su- pereminently qualified to speuk as all authority, and his pretensions were not obscured by even the slightest gossamer of mo.h sty. After recounting his travels "hmall and at home (which by his own account heat thol' of Iarco Polo and i{e?j.mnit of Tudcla to pieces), he assured the League that in all his explorations he had never heard an argument agaillt free-trade worth answ cl ing The arguments whid\.1w had heard" were socon- •' temptible- so false in fact, or so contemptible in the proper way to tieat them "was to turn aside ill scorn.
