The Express. — London, England, 1851-04-30 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1851 Russia and elsewhere, and they might depend upon it that 1 1 they must have these monster importations. (Hear.) He II took credit for having predicted the present price of wheat . , four years ago. He said it would be about 305., and that I was within rrd. of the average price. Col. KINLOCH, in a very humorous speech, seconded the resolution, which was carried amidst loud cheers . Lord BERNERS, in proposing the next resolution, said he stood before them es an owner and occupier of land and an employer of labour, and as one who was partici- 1 paling in the suffering which owners and occupiers of land; were enduring. He saw before him • banner on which was inscribed " the rights of British subjects." I and on another " More of justice and leas of charity." I They were prepared to support the rights of British sub jects, to support the right of protection. But be should be content to have inscribed on his banner not the word " pro tection," but " justice" to all classes of the state. He asked them if they would support him. (" Yes.") Let them then return to their homes and speak to their wives and their children of this great gathering, and to speak of it in the streets and in the market places, and say that they had seen the representatives of 775,000 farmers and gra siersof the United Kingdom, who had declared that they would stand by Loyd Stanley and Mr. Disraeli—(cheers), and that they would stand by justice to British industry. The noble lord concluded b 7 moving a vote of thanks to the Duke of Richmond, President of the National Associa- Lion. Sir JAMES J. R. MACKENZIE seconded. The motion passed with great cheering. The Duke of RICHMOND said he should indeed feel himself unworthy of any position in this country if. in re ceiving so great a compliment from the great body of the farmers of England, whom he now saw around him, he did not feel the deepest gratitude to them. He had through life, or rather since the war was at an end, taken every opportunity of associat ing with the farmers of England. (Cheers.) Ile knew them well; he knew their motives, and, therefore, respect coming from them he deeply felt. Above six thousand of them whom he had then the honour to address, had met there that day to tell the nation at large that protection I they would and must have. (Loud cheers.) Would that the free traders with their new convert, Sr James Graham (Hooting) could only fur one moment listen to the echo of those cheers. It would drive I him in a fit back to Netherby ; he would be afraid even of the honest, the intelligent, the indepen dent farmers of the country. But he (the Duke of Rich mond) could explain some of the hostility of these members ' of parliament to the landed interest. Did they believe that Sir James Graham hod forgotten that he was turned out of the representation of Cumberland ' • did they believe that Lord John Raw l did not think of his defeat in Huntingdon; that Lord Palmerston was not aware he•was turn' d out of Hampshire; that his noble friend Lord Grey I had forgotten that he was turned out by the farmers of Cum berland. He did not believe that these individuals changed their opinions for this, but what he said was, that they felt themselves personally injured. That showed what good judges the farmers were for they found them out and turned them out. lie wished them to carry that principle a little further. (" We will. Give us an elec tion and we'll do it.") That was exactly what he was recommending them to do. He asked them to look at the votes of their county members, and to turn out every sae of them who did not vote for Mr. Dismeli's motion. (Cheers.) Ile asked them not to pledge their members to natters of detail, but to ask them this question—will you rapport Lord Stanley ? (Cheers.) If they said no, then don't have them. They would have no more of this sort of work, a man saying he was half a protectionist, and that ho would do something fur the agricultural interest. They knew that nothing could benefit the agricultural interest hut fair protection. (Cheers.) Ile asked them to reject all candidate's who did not say openly " yes " when I they asked them if they would support Lord Stanley. He would not trouble them more at this time—(" Go on ") but he would merely assure them that they were not going to follow the advice which some timid people gave them, and who said, if they attempted to give justice to ritish industry they must expect they could not do so without there being some mobs formed in some parts of the country. (Laughter.) Now he told them before he was not one of those who feared that any party backed by the opinion of the middle class of this country need be alarmed. lie asked them if there were any among them craven hearted enough not to do the duty which they owed to their sovereign and the country, from the basest ()fall motives, personal cowardice? If there were ally base enough, they would have to fight the battle again for other institutions of the country, because if a mob prevented protection being restored, how did they know that a mob might not wish to remove the crown from the bead of our most gracious sovereign ? (Three cheers were here given for the Queen.) That cheer proved to him that the honest yeomanry of England were true at heart, and that they concurred with him in the opinion that they, the agricultu ral interest, with the colonial and the shipping interest, the large mass of the respectable part of the country, that they were ready to lay down their lives to protect their gove reign, and not only to protect their sovereign, but to main tain the institutions of happy old England. (Chem.) The noble duke again assured the meeting of the deep gratitude he felt to them, and said he could not permit the meeting to separate, without giving their best and earnest thanks to the committee of the National Association, and to Mr. U. F. Young, its chairmau. A vote of thanks was then given accordingly, which was respouded to by Mr. G. F. Young. The meeting then separated at a quarter past five, having lasted live hours and a quarter. THE. St: PPLENIENTAL MEETING of persons who had been unable to obtain admission at Drisry-lane Theatre was held in St. Martin's Hall, Long-acre. The chair was taken by Earl Stanhope, and the meeting was addressed hy his lord ship, Mr. G. F. Young, Captain Vyse, M.l'. ' Mr. Bull, of Cambridge, Her. Charles Day, and several farmers. The resolutions were copies of those adopted at the principal THE DINNER. About 200 of the gentlemen who had attended the above gathering, overcome by the sense of their miserable condi tion, as unfolded in the speeches there delivered, sought some little alleviation of their distress by dining together, at a short notice, at the Freemasons' Tavern. There were present—Mr. G. F. Young (the chairman), the Duke of Richmond, Earl Stanhope, the Earl of K inchilsea, Lord Berner., Sir F. Fowke Colonel Sibthorp, M.P., Captain Bennet, M.P., Mr. Booker, M.P., Captain Vyse M.P., 11. Greene, Esq., Colonel linloeh, Mr. Butt , Q.b., &c. 4r. Riggs officiated as toast-master. The loyal and patriotic toasts were duly honoured. "The Army and Navy" was acknowledged by Captain VINE on behalf of the army, and by Captain °wawa fur DISTRIBUTION Or PRIZES AT KING'S COLLEGE.— The annual distribution of prises and certificates of honour in the medical department of this college took place wider day, at three o'clock ; the Bishop of London, in the olisence of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, presided. The right rev. chairman regretted that he was called upon to preside on the present occasion in the place of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, who was prevented attending by a domestic calamity. liis lordship, in explaining the occasion of the meeting, remarked that the medical depart ment of King's College had a most onerous duty to perform in the training up of young men to the dis charge of the most responsible duties of the me dical profession. The present number of medical students of the college exceeded that at any other period this of itself was a sufficient proof of the increased confidence felt by the public in the course of instruction pursued, and the moral and religious advantages which the college possessed over many other institutions, must inspire parents with the greatest confidence, irrespective of the number of eminent and distinguished men engaged as professors. The dean of the medical department then read • report on the state of the medical school, from which it appeared that hers been so considerable. The report stated that the number of students who matriculated, and now attended, in no former year bad the accession to its num amounted to 220, of which 80 have been entered on the books since October, and upwards of 90 since the last die tribution of prises. In alluding to the hospital, it appears that since the last report the necessity for • new and more convenient structure made itself manifestly felt by the large accession of patients that followed the pur chase of the Metropolitan k rce Hospital, situated in Carey street, within two doors of the present building. The number of patients increased from 22,300, in 1849, to 25,516, in 1850. The funds for accomplish ing this object, which, last year, were 25,0001., now amounted to little short of 31,0001.; upwards of 16,0001. still remained to be collected to complete the building and endowment fund to 50,0001. It was intended to erect a building sufficiently large to fit up 200 beds, and that di rect communication with the college, through Houghton street, which would not only prove a great boon to the col lege, but would likewise contribute to the metropolitan improvements. The cost of collecting the 33,0001. did not exceed 2001. After the report had been read, the Rev. 1)r. 1 Jelf, the principal, announced tho names of the success ful candidates fortheDivinity , the Warneford and the Leathe's ' , prises.

His lordship concluded by promising a continuance of the same warm and heartfelt support which it had been his pleasure to give to the college for the last 20 years. Besides the gentlemen whose names have been already mentioned, the Bishop of Lichfield, Sir H. Inglis, Sir P. B. Brodie, Res. A. Robinson, and the Rev. F. D. Maurice, were among the company. /SEEM° or ENEMERATORS.—Last evening a nu minous meeting of the enumerators under the census took C m : the Equestrian Tavern, Blackfriars-road. Mr. took the chair, and briefly explained the objects of Me Minting. Mr. Potier said he was an enumerator in INA. and that then the remuneration was better, although these was less work to do than at the present census ; he 11111101 t that it would be unßnglish and cowardly if the geese* attempt at imposition on the part of the govern ment was allowed to pass unnoticed.

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Cause of Protec tion and the Duke of Richmond," referred to the magnifi cent meeting of that day, and said it was a striking proof of the falsehood of the assertion that protection was dead. (Cheers.) Within a month that assertion had been echoed through every free-trade journal in the land. Would those base journals now dare to repeat the assertion ? Protection I was es undying as it was just. The principle of protection I WAS immortal. (Cheers.) It had survived many an em littered attack, but it now rose in majesty to show that thole false principles which had so lung prevailed in her Majesty's councils were about to be overthrown. (Hear.) Even J'ersch had described the effort to restore protection as Quixotic, and had represented him (the chairman) as Don Quixote. Would that witty writer now say that there was anything Quixotic in the attempt? (Hear.) The advocates of protection had argued and reasoned much ; but use the day of reasoning was passed, and the day of action was come. (Cheers.)sounds which had that ay gone firth from Drury-lane Theatre would be echoed o d n every hustings throughout the country. The state of Ireland had been ably described that day by Professor Butt, and it was impossible not to feel that the evils inflicted by fro trade on Ireland and Scotland would rapidly extend to this country. He had to propose as a toast their great and holy cause, the cause of protection, with which he would smite the President of the National Association for the Protection of Industry, the Duke of Richmond. (Chests.) He had fought daily in the service; and to him everyone looked up with the most inflexible confidence for the UAW tenance of that great principle. It was by his unwavering' I consistency that that confidence had been won. The con- I fldence of the agricultural interest had ever been of a liberal and trusting kind ; and it was to be regretted that it hail on korner occasions been abused. Though the consequences of the course pursued by the late Sir Robert Peel were fraught with mischief to the most material interests of the ceuniry, their evil in this respect was less than that occa sioned by the stab thereby inflicted on the public confi dence in all public men. (Hear, hear.) There was no living statesman in whom he (the Chairman) had greater confidence than in the Duke of Richmond. (Cheers.) The Duke of RICHMOND, after referring to his early services in the army, said he joined in the deep indignation which had been expressed against the insinuation bygsny baronet, be he who be might, that the soldiers of England were not loyal. (Cheers.) Sir James Graham might be up • to pews!, and ought be anxious to lead the radical perty ; held such an opinion as that, he w Would great um, but a very little man. (Hear, hear.)

England, the metropolis especially, is wonder fully rich in works of art ; but these , for the most part, being the property of individuals, have been hitherto closed to the multitude. The aunouuccil intention of more than one owner to admit the public at stated times to range through these gardens of great intellects, is a promising sign of the times, and should be warmly encouraged. "The council, in conclusion, invite renewed co-operation fur the ensuing year, and repeat their urgent request that those who are fortunate enough to be pnzeholders will use discrimination in the selection of works of art." Some formal resolutions were then passed, referring to the adoption of the report and other routine , matters; and the officers of the society then proceeded to the concluding business of the day, viz., the drawing of the prizes, which occupied some time. SYMPATHY OF THE RUSSIANS AND FRENCH IN THE FATE OF Silt JOHN FRANKLIN.-By private letters re ceived from her Majesty's ship Enterprise, Captain Collin son, C. 8., dated Hung-Kong, Feb. 25, it would seem that much sympathy is felt by the Russians in the fate of our missing countrymen. The following is an extract of a pri vate letter from one of the officers serving on hoard :—" We leR two officers, Lieut. Barnard and Mr. Adams, assistant surgeon, at Miehaclowski and Norton Sound, with orders to proceed into the interior, and see whether any communi cation takes place between the Ruesian ports and the natives inhabiting the shores of the Polar Sea. From Michaelowski I went to Sitka, where from the re searches of the Russians we find our Pular chart, as far as the Colville is concerned, totally in error. The Yoncon, it would appear, is the head water of the Kiverpi:k, which runs into Bchriug Sea to the southward of Norton Sound, and they have no port on any river emptying itselt iuto the Polar Sea. We found a great disposition, on the part of the Russian authorities, to aid in our search. The governor general, Captain Resenburgh, has ordered the post of Michaelowski to be reinforced this year by 18 Alutians and 9 skin boats, which are to be placed at Captain Moore's disposal, should he require them. The men are armed with rifles, are expert hunters, live upon Esquimau: diet, and speak a dialect of the same tongue. The skin boats are what the Russians have made use of in all their exploring ex peditions. We are to sail on the Ist of April to Behring's Straits. Lieutenant Bella, of the French navy, Knight of the Legion of Honour, has volunteered his services, by permission of the Minister of Marine of France, to join an Arctic expedition, and speaks of the enthusiasm felt in the French navy that one of their own officers should be embarked in the sacred cause which has engaged the sympathies of all nations." PLVMTREE COCRT RAGGED SCHOOL.—The fourth annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this school was held yesterday at the Inquest-room, St. Andrew's court, Holborn-hill. Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., and alderman, presided. Mr. Tite, the secretary, read the re port, from which it appeared that 'the iastitution had established two schools—a scriptural, which met twice a week, and was instructed by gratuitous teachers, and in which there had been an average attendance of 53 boys and 47 gi ls, an increase of 52 scholars on the average of the preceding year. The discipline of the school was also much increased. The secular schools were under the con trol of a paid master. The boys' school was open three times a week, and the girls' once a week, an ed th average attendance had been 35 boys and 20 girls. An industrial school for girls had also been established with great suc cess, and the average attendance had been 29, and 11 girls had gone to service and 2 been apprenticed from the school. A library had also been established, which had been of great service. A debt of 331. encumbered the institution. The Rev. Mr. Rowe, chaplain of Ronsemonger-lane Gaol, moved the adoption of the report. The Rev. Mr. Redwar, minister of the Liberty of the Rolls, seconded the resolu tion, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Brown regretted the debt, which encumbered the proceed ings of the committee, and trusted that it would be cleared off before they met agai n . lie concluded by moving the following resolution : That the statements contained in the report of the progressof the school, m while they furnish many evidences of the divine blessing, afford to the friends of the institution abundant encouragement to persevere in ' their work in humble dependence on the goodness of ' Almighty God." The Rev. Mr. Branch seconded the reso laden, which was also carried. A committee for the emu • lag year having been appointed, the meeting separetcd. MONUMENT To EBENEZER Et.marr.—At a public meeting at the Council-hall, Sheffield, on Thursday last, it was resolved, „ That Ebenezer Elliott's long, zealous, and successful advocacy of free trade, and his great genius as a poet, deserve to be publicly ackn owledged, by the erection of a monument to his memory." A subscription has ac cordingly been entered into, and 23W. has been already sub scribed, chiefly in Sheffield.—Sheffeekl Tines. PARRICIDE AT WESTMINSTLE—An inquest •was held yesterday evening before Mr. Bedford, at the West minster Hospital, on view of the body of Richard Judd, aged sixty-live, who expired at that establishment on Saturday morning from the effects of desperate injuries abougthe head. The evidence of the several witnesses given at the Westminster Police Court on Monday, and at the previous examinations of the accused (Frederick Judd, the son of the deceased) having been repeated, the after two hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of " wWuimur der against Frederick Judd." NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PRO• TECTION OF INDUSTRY AND CAPITAL. Yesterday was the last day allowed to exhi bitors for their preparations ; but the backward state of the foreign portions—with the exception of the Belgian, Austrian, Dutch, and Greek departmenta— l's the afternoon, showed how futile had been the official order. Still the sawing and hammering were going an; statues were being extricated from packing cases; bearded am were scraping their statues; and women in hundreds were busily plying their needles in every direction and upon materials of all colours. Through out the day the executive offices were besieged by people anxious to learn whether or not a further issue of season tickets would take place ; and late ex hibitors were everywhere making plaintive excuses for their procrastination. The raised seats in the transept were pro gressing rapidly; the fountain at the north end was re• peatedly tested in the course of the day; many musical gentlemen, and among them Si r Henr y Bishop, were test ing the organs ; and artists were busily engaged in every direction. The hail-storm which fell in the course of the day, although here and there a few hail-stones fell into the main avenues, did no harm to the roof, and appeared to take effect at those parts not yet covered with canvas. In spite of the wet weather crowdsand continued about the build lag throughout t he da y ; amongst the visitors were the Queen and Prince Albert, who inspected portions of the Inhibition. The doors of the Exhibition, we are authorised %state, will positively not be opened for the admission of visitors earlwr than 9 o'clock on Thursday morning. The pork gates will be opened at 7 o'clock. We are requested to state that all persons intend ing*, be present at the opening of the Exhibition to morrow Citnn7), will be in morning dress, with the oweeption of those who will be in immediate attendance on hue Majesty. STRAY AT THE EXHIBITION. —Yesterday (Tuesday', evert several p r eliminary trials, the claim was turned into a a Building, and the whole of the engines now in position Isere put in motion.

DAY, who was left speaking, went on to say that they were told that if they would pass free trade they would take off the property tax. Well, but what did the Chancellor of the Exchequer my the other night? Why, that he must retain the tax, in order to carry out the principles of free trade. (Loud cheers.) With reference, now to the Peace Society. Ile was far from sneering at peace. Ile loved peace, though h: was not afraid of war. (Loud cheers.) Mr Sturgc hail held nut to the country man inducement for them to pea free trade, that universal Recce would reign, and they would be able to reduce their expenses, because large naval establishments would be unnecessary. Then, again, what did Lord John Russell say the other night ? He told the Rouse or Commons that he must keep up the navy on ite present footing, because it would be dangerous to Mane, it, considering that we were dependent for so large a por tion of our food upon foreign supplies. (Cheers.) Now, these were the statements that they made. Then, told Herod,that th the positively s ..,auslybetheaty.liwsiculdr They have such a m e ilre7niu r law m that the tiger would be pared of hie claws. But, instead of the poor laws being abolished, they all knew they had been increased. Their able champion, Mr. Alison, mated at Edinburgh the other day some facts relating to it, but the Economist and Times and other free-trade papers, said he was wrong. The Leo : monist said they should stick to England and Wales, and he gave the figures, though these figures, properly looked at, proved the case against free trade. The very principle of I free trade was to grind the poor. Ile knew a free-trader who was worth 30,00 W., who said they had not carried out free trade as they ought, for he never meant to give 111111. than 4s. Oil. per week—he never meant to employ a mantel min. (Name.) And he knew another who was employing persons 18 years of age at 4d. a day. (Name.) If any one called on him he would give the names. A corporate body, whom he would not name, had the other day reduced the WARE" of their oduieckeepers 40 per cent. That was free trade. If it was continued he should be concerned for the morality of the nation. Ile loved to see a man that felt for his fellow-creatures; he loved the principle of live and let live. Ile could not enjoy pleasure if he saw all around him re dorsal to misery. And that was the way he looked at free trade ; he did not look upon it ma farmer's but as a national question. They were told that the country was prosperous, though it was true there was one class theonaically 'offering. But, Mr. Yount, in an excellent speech he made the other day, gave an extract from 11PGregor himself, • free trader, who said though agriculture, commerce, or manufactures I could Ile carried on to a greater extent than ever they had been before, still, if the profits were below what they Lad been, they might confidently a ffi rm that the condition of ouch a nation, however prosperous in appearance, was bad and uneemil at heart. Would they have carried this mea sure if they had known the result—if they had known the extent of importation, which amounted to more than all the rent of the kingdom ? Well, then, what did they say, had they been dealing with honest men ? (No.) He had not time to deal with Cohilen and 3loleeworth, and those men who had so deceived them, or he might gibbet them. (Laughter.) If those men were men of honour and morality, after the statement* they hail made as to what would be the result of free trade, hailing the results of free trade, let them ap peal to those men to reverie this policy. Ile would treat them, Lord Grey, Mr. Girton, and Mr. Cobden, and the net of them, as the jury, and would appeal to thein r a verde tin their (the protectionists) favour. But they must not trust them. All they had to du was is persevere, and to resolve, and to act. What did the argument of the free trailers amount to ? Like Paddy's coat, they were made of holes sewn together. With those men whom no logic could penetrate, and who were obstinate and wo u ld not turu, they had nothing to do. They were now on the eve of an election. l'hey had had, said Bul wer, a parliament which believed in prophesy; let them have a parliament which would judge of prophesy. At the busting, let them have no party cries, but let them all, whip, radicals, tories, churchmen, and dissenter., unite in favour of common protection; let them as common friends unite against a common foe. Looking at this election, he was reinieded of the conduct of Bruce at the battle of Ban nockburn, which was to decide whether Scotland should be free. Belore the battle commenced, Bruce called his army together, and said, let those who feared depart, for he did not wish his army to be contaminated by examples of cowardice or treachery. They all threw up their helmets, and demanded to be led into battle. They were led into battle, and they conquered; and they (the protectiouists) would go anal do likewise. (Cheers.) Mr. JOHN BELL, of Kent, said he did not deny that free trade had caused some to be prosperous—it had secured the prosperity of usurers and mortgagees; and Sir James Graham said the prosperity of the labouring classes was owing to their being fed upon foreign eons. Sir James spoke of the voice of Sir Robert P eel, which s p oke as from the grave. lle (Mr. Boll) did not know whether Sir Robert Peel's voice from the grave was less ambiguous than it used to be In the house. But Sir James Graham did nut always AIWA with Sir Robert Peel. In Deceniber, 1619, Sir Robert Peel told the fanners that they might obviate the effects of free trade by growing 40 bushels of wheat where they grew 20 bushels before. In autumn last Sir James Graham told the farmers of Cumberland that they should plough lee and gran more. Sir Robert Peel said plough more, Sir James Graham said plough less. In 1819 Sir It. Peel was in ceatacies at the large importa tion of foreign corn. Ile asked whether it had not all been eaten, and whether they hail heard of any one dying of surfeit? In November, 1817, however, he had said that they had expended 33 millions in foreign food, which was qu it e enough to account for their then existing distress. (Hear, hear.) Sir James Graham had said plough less and oriole more; but surely, if it had benefited the agricul turieta to plough leas it must follow that they ought to rejoice at the large importation of foreign cattle. (Cheers.) In fact, the time of the greatest prosperity to the agricul turist, would be, when they should be undersold by foreigners in every branch of their production. (Cheers.) But he had said plough less ; and yet he told them that the ploughman was better off, so that it would seem his gain was in the loos of his occupation. (Loud cheers.) The right honourable baronet had spoken of a ray of hope which had beamed upon them from the mills of Messrs. Bright. (Hear.) Ile confident' it to be a desideratum to be independent of foreign sup plies of cotton; but surely, if that were the came, it would he equally beneficial to be independent of foreign supplies of corn and cattle. (Loud cheers.) lle had talked of the hopelessness of the struggle between the hand-loom and machinery, but the case was exactly a parallel with this country and foreign climes. Other hinds had much greater I powers of fertility ; and therefore what Sir Jas. Graham did was to regard the fields of England ea an old worn out hand-loom. (Cheers.) Sir James Graham had asked them to account for the case of France, where, though there was a stringent corn law, the price of corn was alarmingly low ; but surely, if that arose from the restrictive duty, it fol lowed that Sir James Graham ought to advocate the meet stringent duties in order to keep corn cheap. The truth was, that the evil was not to be traced to Sir Robert Peel's mea lures of 1846, or even to that of 1842, but to his first attack upon the producers of the country in 1849. (Hear, hear.) . Mr. REID, who was introduced as a London baker, in supporting the resolution, said he did so under the firm conviction that this was not merely a class interest move ment, not a farmer's interest, but one in which the in terest., of all, and above all, the working men, might be looked to, and their grievances redressed. Ile was of opinion that every foreign article brought to this country displaced the labour of the home producer. Take the came of 'French slaws. To sell them in this country they must be sold cheaper than English shoes. The wholesale dealer then said to the English manufacturer—" You mast sell us your shoes cheaper, or we cannot take them." The manufacturer then reduced the prises of wor kmen, and to meet this compet ition the French of lecturer reduced his wages also. And thus the workmen of each country were pitted against the workmen of the Weer, and all for the benefit of the capitalist. He was band to tell the gentlemen around him that the labouring demi of England looked with great distrust upon this merement • and he would tell them why. They said that, when they 'had the power before, they forgot the labourer, and they feared that if they got the power again to-morrow they would forget the labourer again. They might depend upon it, OA Mr. Bell had said, that unless they did justice to the labourer they could not succeed or be permanently prosperous. The resolution was then put and carried unanimo, were all the others. Hr. C. WOKSLEY, whom the chairman described as a Sussex man, moved the third resolution, to the effect that unless free trade be abandoned, and equal protection be restored to British labour and production, the most de plorable consequences, both political and social, ending in national convan and bankruptcy, must ensue. lie had the honour of appearing before them as the representative of British farmers, wbo, having suffered as they had, did not intend to leave that house and go home and fold their hands and leave their cause to one day's exertions. They had borne the brunt of the battle of fine trade, and they had beard so much of the distress it bad nosed, that he would not dwell upon that, but he would proceed to the causes of it. In the first instance doy were told in the House of Commons that the Mange would cause them a reduction of twentr per cent. of their profits in the find year. Wh y since the peace their profits had not exceeded 10 pes cent. Who sustained the loss ? Not the Iliadic/4.

In the third year they head that the real difficulties of the country had camel a tedmillea el 10 per cent. ; that was, during three yeses the farmers had been losing 70 per cent , while the rest of the ersenery had been profiting at their ex pose. At last, levrever, it hod ems to the touching point 'tether clams. TM Me-trade majority woo decreasing in the House of ColliaNei Med there wsa a different tone I at the dun.

But would we be made the stalk inchenes of the test of the community? (Loud cries of •llisa with respect to the tithe owners. Had they not received their fell share ?

It contains the names of three Roman catholic bishops, of Lord Kenmore, the lion. K and , T. Preston, &c. It is in this supplemental list that the name of Mr. John O'Connell first makes its ap ce. Deputations from Cork, Limerick, and ' ril l k a e n nny, headed by the mayors of th )se towns, arrived in Dublin yesterday to attend the meeting. Some other towns have also scut up deputations for the same purpose. The Roman catholic electors, who form a majority of the constituency of Kinsale, have signed a requi sition to their representative, Mr. Benjamin Ilawes, calling on him to resign his seat. They say — By voting for the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill you have utterly disregarded our feelings and opinions, made known to you by a copy of a series of reso lutions adopted at our meeting of the 12th ult., in which, alter censuring strongly your vote in favour of the introduc tion of this iniquitous measure, we gave you the alternative of opposing any further progress in penal legislation, or res;gning the representation of this borough We call on you, therefore, to withdraw from the position in which, in al evil hour, we placed you. We insist as a right that you shall never snore outrage our feelings by occupy ing a seat in parliament as the member for Kinsale. It is stated that Sir James Emerson 'foment in tends offering himself as a candidate for Belfast at the next election. Mr. Billing, the gentleman who had so narrow an escape from murder in the county of Westmeath, a few days since, is recovering front the wounds then inflicted on him. Mr. Langrish, a poor-law inspector, has lost his place, owing to a stupid hoax which appeared in a Cork newspaper, representing hint as the owner of a horse which won at races in the south of Ireland. The statement met the eye of Sir William Somer ville, and it would appear that the explanation given by Mr. Langrish was not deemed satisfactory. SPORTING. CI tESTER RACES. MONDAY NIGHT.
