M'DOUALL'S MANCHESTER JOURN&L . London : Beal , 2 , Shoe-lane . Manchester : Heywood , Oldhaui-street . We hare here No . 1 of Dr . M'Donall ' s new publication . Those who remember the periodical commenced by our friend on the termination of his first imprisonment , can appreciate his qualifications to perform the noble duties of a political instructor . The periodical alluded to was one of the best we haye known devoted to the advocacy of democratic principles ; unhappily it did not receive the support warranted , by its merits . "We . trust that Dr . M'DouaU ' s present venture will be more successful .
No . 1 of the Manchester Journal opens with ( what appears to be ) the commencement onl y of an "Address to the Trades . " The subject matter of the address being " The great Secret of National Wealth . '' As this is a first number we take leave to quote the entire of this article : —
THE GRE 1 T SECBEI OF KATIOSAT , WEALTH . It has been admitted as an axiom , that labour is the source of wealth . That barren dignity has been all that political writers have hitherto conceded i © industry . They immediately vacate the basis , and proceed to examine or eulogise , to improve or condemn the superstructure . Exports and imports , commerce , customs , and taxes , seems to be only worthy of their supervision or analysis , in common with many other questions of political economy , and social policy . However important these subjects may be , and however worthy of strict observation , the philosophical mind can only recognise them as results , as mere effects of an artificial ¦ ystem . Should the simple question be propounded as to the productive qualities of two trees of the same species growing apart , which vary- materially in
their relative yield , would not the practical gardener be disposed to enter into , a careful and critical examination of the soil and root , a « well as the trunk , branches , and sprays ! He would do more , he would ascertain the amount , kind , and quality , of nourishment , in the shape of manure , which was returned to the soil for the encouragement of the tree , on the great and just principle , tbat the more you take , the more you should give . This is the scientific rnle adopted in agriculture , after a long and hard battle between custom , and common sense , prejudice , and interest . I do not mean to assert that any simile holds good in reason , but I consider that the question of labour being the source of wealth , ought to be approached in the same spirit , and with the same practical views that a fanrer investigates soil and supply .
I take up the question in behalf of the general interests of society . Ireject , at once , all consideration of personal profit , and the separate interests of either employer or employed , and make the public good the standard , the national benefit , the sole test of ability . This is , I ima gine , the only way of arriving at truth .
LIBOUB . It may be very properly asked , what is meant by labour ? My definition of the right kind of labour comprises the necessary and utefid exercise of mental faculty , . and p hysical power . I mate no invidious and unjust distinction . They are both respectable , and equally worthy of commendation , so long as the great end is kept in view , benefit to the national family . The Creator is the great and mysterious type of labour , and His end is , and was good for all . "We do not separate His attributes , neither shall 1 , to serve , the mean and dispicable ends of faction , elevate the mind above its merits , or depress the hand below its rights . Such distinctions have
caused much mischief , for instance , in the separation of the middle from the working classes , on the fatal supposition that their interests were ' as much apart as their prejudices . Sow , a little reflection most convince any reasonable man that there is not any real difference between the man who labours for the good of society with his head , and him who works for the same end with his hands . The worldly distinction , consists in the names of salary and wage , as theresultopUheir respective industry . The two are identica l in interest . Both are necessary in the present state of society , and therefore shonld exercise and enjoy equal rights , and proportionate benefits . But the question naturall yArises
are they , always usefully . directed and employed ? For on that hinges the results of their labour , benefit to society . I answer , certainly not always usefully employed , because great genius , and vast physical energy may' be expended in war , which is waste of ; both , ending in a tax upon all future l abour , from either . It may be said , that war is sometimes necessary , but that is by no means established as a principle ..., We arrive then at the question— Whatiisuseful labour ? It . js highly useful , although not absolutely necessary to exchange the products of one country for another , and to import articles of comfort , taste , food alothingi and ornament Therefore , all who are engaged in
commercial pursuits , render benefits to society of an inestimable value / so Jong as they claim no ' . privilege , or exemption , by which afalse value may be given «^ L ??? dise - la tllat ««• tbe P uhlic ad-T ?

We have every means placed at our disposal to make us , not only the greatest , but the happiest nation on the face of the earth . { Wei occupy nation ' s workshop . We have all her tools and materials within our reach . Iron , coal , clay , lime , sand , and other valuable mineral products , lie within a convenient compass , and are compressed still more by steam and rail . We have navigable rivers , sheltered bays and estuaries , deep harbours , and the oak to breast the wave and battle with the tempest . Moreover , we are blessed with a fruitful Soil , and a
moist and genial climate , combine to produce labour without ; idle lassitude , and abundance without profligate luxuriance . How . is it , that gifted ' with materials inexhaustible as the mental , arid physical resources of our own notion ; we : do not make a better use of the gifts of the Almighty , and fulfil our great and manifest ; destines , by making comfort preside in every home , and contentment smile in every face ? Because we do not truly understand the real source of wealth , or , if knowing it , imprudently-cultivate it , or perversely misappropriate its benefits / I cannot avoid carrying out a forcible limile . We extract all that is possible from labour , and make no equivalent return , like the farmer , who . draws the largest crops from
the soil , and expends the least amount of manure in return for its products . Reason and experience in tune correct this fatal error , because we see the material evil before us , and ha ?© the moral forcibly thrust upon us . The same rule applies , precisel y to labour , although the source ' may be human hands and brains , although the soil may be flesh and boae . It is because we imagine that the unchangeableness of nature act differently in the two instances , that we adopt the erroneous principle of estimating wealth by the , standard of profit , and value by the standard of gold , for . there is a Siamese connexion between the two . They are both artificial checks upon a natural law of supply and demand , and it shall be my-province to demonstrate their pernicious fallacy . . . ¦ ,
The above speaks for itself . The second article is on a question intimately connected with the foregoing , vizi , ¦ "Commerce and Manufactures ; " and ia also ably treated of .

FUNERAL OF THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL . Tahwobth , Tdesdat Evbnikg . —The mortal remains of Peel , the statesman , were this afternoon consigned to their last resting-place , in the small church of Drayton Bassett , two miles and a half from this town . In compliance with the deceased ' s own injunctions ( recently expressed by his executor in the House of Commons ) , the funeral ceremony was shorn of all those external attributes of pomp which usually accompany the interment of great national political celebrities . Still it was impossible to deprive the proceedings of the imposing effect springing from a spontaneous ebullition of the feeling in his district , which a long intimacy with his more private and individual capacity materially awakened . , This was exhibited not only b
y a total cessation of all ordinary business avocations in the town , and the Sabbath stillness that pervaded throughout the district , but by the mournful alacrity with which the entire population , for miles around , hastened to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory . As early as seven o ' clock every line of road and bye-way converging towards Drayton was alive with peasantry , clothed in their best attire , and bearing upon their persons such symbols of mourning as their humble means afforded . As the morning advanced , a superior class of the inhabitants prepared to take their part in the coming observance b y hastening to Taniworth , from the ancient keep of whose celebrated castle there floated heavily in the wind the royal standard , halfmast high—an emblemof regret visible over a vast sweep of country , across which might be heard the boom of the muffled bells in the tower of the parish church . ¦ ... . .
At noon , the mayor and corporation of Tamworth assembled in the Town-hall , and shortly after proceeded to the outskirts of Drayton Park , where it had been arranged they should await and fall into the procession . . The avenue leading to the Manor House was lined on both sides with the persons , assembled , of either sex ; and , at a latter hour of the day , nearly the whole ofthe home park was similarly thronged . Within the mansion , it is unnecessary to say that this feeling was deepened in intensity , and found much more unequivocal utterance . Sir R . Peelthe present baronet—who had arrived at Drayton from town in company with the Bishop of Gibraltar , on the previous evening , had as yet become in
no respect familiarised with the acuteness of his bereavement , and the poignancy of his suffering was exceedingly vivid . The body of his father lay where it was deposited on the ni ght of its arrival ( Friday ) , viz ., in the oak parlour forming the anteroom between the new grand gallery and the en- ? trance hall . In the centre of the room lay . the body within its massive leaden coffin , enclosed in a coffin covered with crimson velvet , and ornamented with gilt mouldings and the usual emblazonment . Upon the centre-plate beneath the arms was the following inscription : — " The Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel , Bart ., M . P ., Born Feb . 5 , 1788 , Died July 2 , 1850 , Aged 62 years . "
Over the external coffin was thrown a black velvet pall , bearing . at tbe sides and ends escutcheons of the deceased baronet ' s family , and which heraldic devices were repeated on a large hatchment placed at the head ofthe coffin , containing the entire shields of the Peels , prominent among which were the shuttle and the bee , and subscribed with the well known and appropriate legend "Industria . " Shortly before two o ' clock , the mourners haying assembled in the hall , the arrangement of the precession was proceeded with .- Jfter ' the first few mourning coaches had been filled , the hearse drew up to receive its burden , which was borne thither by about . a doien favourite yeomen of the estate . The other carriages having been filled , the procession left the manor house . ¦
.. During the progress of the procession from the house to the church the , rain fell . in torrents ; but all ' sense of personal discomfort was absorbed- in the melancholy conviction that external nature but too accurately sympathised ; with the emotion' "that passeth show , " and a dense and orderly " concourse of . spectators accompanied the cavalcade throughout the entire distance . < . ¦ . . :. . Drayton Basset church is . an exceedingly small structure , plain to simplicity , even for a rural ecclesiastical building of the humblest pretensions . ' It consists but of a centre aisle , with , plain deal pews on either side , ' a diminutive gallery at the western end being . well . . " nigh , absorbed - by , a' -not very , lar ^ e organ , which reaches the roof ; Th e
mnral tnemeramlia are but scanty , nearly all fhe local celebrities being buried at . Tamworth , whose chancel is one of the richest iq the midland counties in historic associations of this character , from the Heptarchy to . the present . period . Unpretending as . it is , jbhe most , conspicuous , monument in Drayton . church is one erected to the memory of the individuals whose claims to notice here are indicated in the ' subjoined unpretending inscription : SMn x vault beneath this ohurch are deposited the remains of Sir ; Robert iPeel , Bart ., of- Drayton Juanor , and of Ellen , Lady . Peel , his wife ,-daughter of W . Yates . ^ sq , of Bury » Lancashire . Sir Robert Peel was born A pril 23 rd , 1750 , died May 3 rd , 1830 ; Lady . Peel was born March ' fi tb ; H& 0 , died
December , 28 th , 1803 . Their children have raised this monument to the memory of their beloved parents , as a token of their affection and gratitude . " i i ¦ r The famil vault of , the . Peels occupies one-half ofthe centre aisle , but is , ' nevertheless , of fiome-, wnat confined dimensions . The public are already aware , from the statement of Mr . Goulburh in the upuse of CommonB , that the precise spot where £ lfi vW - lbaronet des » red t ° « elaid in ** l" had . been pointed out . to Lady . Peel on a E' 3 B ?

church was -but slightly varied from ; its-ordinary appearance , "by the' sombre adornment " of the pulpit , which was covered with black cloth , in the centre of which was the Peel crest , and supporters on a white ground , v . ;¦ > About an hour sufficed to traverse the ruraland ' picturesque route through the finely wooded grounds lying between the mansion and the church . When the Bishop of Gibraltar alighted ' to receive his sacred charge at . the - churchyard gate , the rain came down in a , perfect-flood , and amidst this melancholy accompaniment , the coffin was borne towards its final receptacle , the right rev . prelate « t <« vAk »<><> » . «* » i : ~ ui . < - * -.. ^ __ j . ? - i-

^ Amongst those present remarked , seated in the little gallery , Mr . Sidney Herbert , who , although not included in the . list of those invited to take part in the ceremonial , had come down to Drayton to share the melancholy satisfaction of attending the funeral of his . departed friend . The coffin having been placed on tressels in front of the pulpit , - and the mourners having arranged themselves , around , the service was proceeded with amidst the inost perfect silence . At the appointed ¦ moment , the coffin having been lowered into the vault , the right reverend prelate left the pulpit and adranced to the head of the grave for the purpose of completing the ritual . Here the feelings , hitherto with difficulty restrained alike by the exigencies of the occasion
ana oi nis position , , yielded to the impulses of overpowering emotion . At the enunciation of the : impressive ' and a ll significant words , " Eartu to earth , ashes to ashes , dust to dust , " the broken utterance" became" wholly : " choked , and stifling sobs denied all further artjculation , save that which awakened responsive echoes in the bosom of every hearer . Duty , however , soon reasserting her supremacy , the bishop ; recovering himself , resumed the routine prescribed , and concluded the service in a hi ghly impressive manner .-: At the close of the solemn ceremonial the mourners coming to the edge of the vault , cast a farewell elance upon its last occupant , and at that solemn moment , so suggestive of every senfiment
of affection and regard , grief again overbore all bounds , the excitement of Sir Robert Peel . in particular being most distressing . ' . We have said that the weather up to : this time had'been exceedingly unpropitious ; scarcely had the proceedings reached the place we have just indicated before the sun shone forth iii its midsummer brilliancy , presenting an extraordinary contrast to the preceding few hours . The mourners having returned to the Manor House , speedily afterwards . left for Tamworth ; en route to London , and in an hour the mansion was comparatively deserted . . Y / . '" . " In London , on Tuesday , most of the tradesmen at the west end and in the City testified their respect . to the deceased statesman bv partiallv
closing their places of business . On the river ; also , there was scarcely a craft in the numerous tiers but what displayed its flags in " mourning . " The flags on the different pier-heads of St . Katharine ' s , London , East and West India Docks , were lowered , as aUo the colours of the numerous ships moored in those great depOts . ¦ At Grayesend the day was observed with much respect . " Jn the Medway " the shipping joined the feeling so strongly manifested in the pool . Birmingham , Wolverhampton , Bristol , and other towns , testified their respect to the memory of Sir R . Peel by the closing of shops , and ringing muffled peals throughout the day . Up to three o ' clock on Tuesday afternoon , more than * 1 , 000 had been collected for the purpose of raising a monument in that eity .

WORKING MAN ' S MONUMENT TO SIR R . PEEL . A special meeting of the committee , appointed for carrying out the proposed plan for tbe erection of a monument to the late Sir .. R . Peel , was held on Monday evening , at the Committee Boom , Belvedere Hotel , Pentonville . Mr . James Yates occupied the cha . ir . The secretary , Mr . J . Downes , opened the proceedings by reading the minutes of the preliminary meeting , after which he entered into an explanation of the plan which had been suggested for the purpose of . raising subscriptions . It had been proposed that a large number of subscription lists should be provided , each to contain 2 iO penny subscriptions , amounting to one pound which , aifter being officially sealed b y the secretary should be distributed in every part of the kingdom , and be returned to the metropolitan committee when
full . , . * . ¦ . ¦¦ ¦ :. Mr ., Home , M . P ., expressed his approval of the general outline of the plan proposed , but warned the committee against wasting their , energies , in attempts , to do too much , lie suggested to them , that instead of attempting to organise a' plan of operations which should embrace the whole kingdom , they should limit their own exertions to th ' o districts in their immediate ., vicinifyi / jheir secretary merely communicating with fhft-i « fff » of towns , " the leading men in the various parishes , the heads of large manufacturing establishments , ( fee ., enclosing forms of subscription lists , apd an explanation of the course they were themselves pursuing , but leaving the details to be arranged as those who undertook the matter might judge to be most advisable . He stated that he had already received communications from the mayors of Southampton and Bilston , and from other
gentlemen oi innuence nr various parts ofthe country , all of whom had expressed their cordial concurrence in the object they had in view , and their willingness to do their utmost to promote it ; and he had no doubtjthat if the courae he recommended were adopted , the appeal which was made to . the country would be warmly arid almost universally responded to . The honourable gentleman shortly afterwards retired , in order to attend to his duties in the House of Commons . .:.-::. Mr . Coppock objected to the word " penny" in the title of the subscription fund , which limited the JubscriDtion to SO '' small amount , and contended that the expenses which , must necessarily be incurred in the collection would be bo great as to-deduct very ; largely-from the sum ' subscribed . Ho moved that the word penny be expunged , and that the title should be " The National Working Man ' s Subscription Fund . "
The motion was seconded by Mr . Finch , and after a little opposition , was agreed to . After a short discussion relative to a public meeting to bo held on Friday ,, the 12 th' inst ., aivote of thanks was passed to-the noblemen and gentlemen who had consented to act as" trustees , and the meeting adjourned . ¦'' . "' ¦ •¦ -, The following letter , addressed to the secretary , haB been published in the Times ;— : " 103 , Weathourne-terrace , July ft . "Sir , —I have received your , letter , requesting me to allow ' iny name to bo . used ' as one of the patrons of an association for raising , by Id subscriptions , ' .

Batiafaction to . he associated in so ' appropriate a , mode of . expressing the almost universal feeling of sorrow at tho loss of a great public benefactor . '' ' "The illustrious statesman who has been taken
from us with such awful suddenness sacrificed every other object of ambition to secure to the firesides and . workshops ofthe toiling ' multitudes of . this country the blessings of increased prosperity , health , ' and happiness . He knew the immediate penalty he would : have to pay for ; the : service he was rendering the nation , but he relied . with prophetic faith upon the future verdict of the people . In the moment of his severest trial , when delivering the speech which closed his official career ,. after speaking of the ties of party which he had severed for ever ,. of . the political- friendships he had converted into bitter enmities ^ , of the floodgates of calumny he' had lejb looae ' upon ' himself— after , recounting , mourafully but without repinlng ,, * thO sacrifices ho had-madejhe turned for sympathy and justice to the mass ; of the ' , people aiid closed his last speeoh as Minister with the following words : — .
