They bad cashiered their old Others and hoisted the old flog under new generals. (Hear, hear.) They take position, as we be lieve, of • forlorn hope of this country. We, so long es we find trios confining themselves to meetings and speeches, to saarehinp up to London to wait tiro their great leaden, and to ruching down again from Lon don from their great leaders, we look on with the greatest indifference. (Hear, hear.) There was an occasion when we felt • little annoyance with the observations of the noble earl at present at t he head of her Majesty's government, in the very court in England which bad met first at Drury-lane, then adjourned to St. James's-roars. He said should there be any flinching, any misgiving, any choose of opinion, they should go back and anuounce W those whom they represented, and, in the memorable words of the Duke of Wellington, say, "Up guards and at 'em." (Chars.) At that time, certainly, we felt ourselves a little ruffled, but we consoled ourselves with the fact that the noble earl omitted two portioas of the subject the first, that Earl Derby was out the Doke of Wellington, sad we are not the French. (Vehement cheering.) Well then, gentlemen, so lung as these were their practical smasenesats, we saw no evidence, no trace, of anxiety on tits part of the people of this country. But early this year • change came over the completion of parties. You found the noble earl, the head of the protectionists—not only the bead of the protectionist., but the head of her Majesty's grammar —called to administer the affairs of this worry according to the notions which he said be was bound ia boast to maintain. (Hear, hear.) We saw him surrounded with all those who had uniformly adopted his opinion donng the last seven years—we saw all the great others of state occupied by men who, rank sod tile, Lot no other recommendation or no antecedent is this country bates right down protectionists ; sod, under these circumfused", gentlemen, was it surprising, was it at all to be unanticipated that the people should feel some degree of alarm, and betrin to think that the time woo come when it would be Necessary to inform the noble earl that a demonstration 'lmola be mar which should ultimately, on the slightest appearance of danger, epootansuusly burst forth, to is eater beyond anything which he could have the slightest idea oft Well, thus, gentlemen, under theft circumstances, the merchants, trad ers, and mannfostarese of thiadietriA net at Newhall-build ings, /garroter on 2nd March, sad in the short space of ', minutes put down the sum of about 27,0001.—(cheers), which sum was ',towards increased to 70,00 W.

("Hear," and laughter.) I have not heard that anybody bee lately beta in treaty for Drury-lase.

(Chews.) Have we ' not a right to been the opinions id oar government spathe question width Wall Ohre at the premise mamma asseeras the welfare and the lieppluess of the people of this ematry (Cheers.) Thee, I say, when parliament meets, we have a right to keen whet ere the views of the government upon the swains of free trade and protection. When I had the harm of meeting you here in Manchester in March, I stated then that I had had a conversation with Mr. Villiers, urging him to put • notice upon the pipet of the House of Commons, pledging the house to withhold its confidence from any government that was not pledged to follow out the prioeiples of free trade. You are aware, when we met again after the short recess, and after the ministry had been to elected, that that motion was altogether evaded by • declaration of Lord Derby, and his representative in the House of Commons, that the government did not expect or propose to carry any measure in the House of Commons, knowing they were then in • stiaority ; but that they pro posed, at the 'surliest possible period, to take the sense of the country upon their policy. Lad Derby told us, at the sane time, that be would call parliament together before Christmas, In order that we might eons. to a decision upon the eonimereial poUcy of the country. Well, gentlemen, we hest had that election ; and, &fee ' live as our representative "Titan is, there is still • Gana derable majority in the House of Commons pledged to free trade. (Cheers.) I have the authority, é very high autho rity, on these matters, in the government, of Msjor Beres ford for the fact. (A laugh.) Well now, gentlemen, all I stipulate for is, that when parliament rcos,emliles we should know whether the government be now protectionist or tree trade. (Cheers.) Is there anything unrea sonable in that ?• For what have we hail a general election, gut to decide that question ? Why do we meet now, before Christmas, but, am it is avowed by Lord Derby,' to settle that question ? I props*, therefore, that to follow out that view, which seems to be so much in accordance with your eentimenta. I propose that the fra•trade mem bers of the Home of Commas should bring Lord Derby's go 'remnant tea dogmatics of their principles upon this quer Lion. (Cheers.) Now, I say, that if the Queen's speech do not contain &dissect renunciation and recantation of mintiest on the part of this administration, then, I think, the free trade esety, if are tree to their principles, as I lionsidlUme sad believe they are my th ey are bound either by se amendment to the address, or by • substantive ' emenniem is the knee, to declare that no government will Into the esmildmeme eif the House of Commons which does seta caw—rind, Imy n avow "—(cheers)—its determina tion a aflame to the policy 01 free trade, as it has bees MOM* adapted, and to emery it out in omay panted way. (Chem.) I say, the House of Com mas timid eW epos tee government to avow its opi• moss; beams I dem a very great distinction indeed be twos M dedmaths a a government, or the intimation, the =real hawed's, en a. part a government, that they sea blond at prism to Marfa" with free trade— beim i ise il l i e s esed the awned of a government that they al he Shea egaimes. and that th ey ere honestly in favour ends. I say, that having nineteen-twen tieths oldie people of tees Gauntry and the ma jority of the Holm et Clansame in favour of •• large certain policy that one Innindsna yaem is a fares, unless you eon have a emesessatat be harmony with that policy. It is ass IMMO to satisfy you, I us quite sure, that those who lam bees the inveterate enemies of the principles which yea Mee lad here to support—should be left in po mmies et the nanstio power in this country, that power being he. to olsongs the et those principles or to pasta this sena% cad V passible to bring back • ranee et peatestionist principles. That will not satisfy you or satisfy he matey. But why I wish a determinate and specific 0011/111111 SO be taken by free traders is this, that =Wag sheet of that will ever settle the question in the oristalturel &arias. The great home of this delusion of mention is in the dark mums of our agricultural dis able. It is there that still survives this faith in • ministry erhish promises one thing it • market table, and talks to anether tone at the clubs and in the coteries ▪ Loados. I need not tell you how rife is ' this !swedes of plantain in the agricultural districts.' We have seen almost every agricultural aunty, swayed es they are by aristocratic influence, owing to the system of voting—we have seen them nearly all carried away in favour of protectionist candidates. fame of our hat men amongst the agriculturists themselves, such as Mr. Puse4; some of liberal aristocracy, like Norris., in Ozfordshire— eminent mem, like Mr. Lewis, In Ilerefolithire—luive been discarded solely because they are suspected of free trade principles. Who encourages this ? The political party in power. And you cannot pot an end to this delu sion in the _ egninsloral districts by any other prams than ea to white I have alluded,—by bringing this Shag es a dellidel boo in the House of Commons, and =fling the government either to avow itself free-trade, the the eyes of these deluded people la the spisaltsral is the delusions that have hri pooled ups the, le elm *dudes thoughee still he peethillite, mad them hood, gelato Op ye ft air rate these Mad*.

Thiry must say that the land is still worth something; and they must say good wheat has not been imported into this country, andeannot be imported, at 245. per quarter. We must ihave no accompaniment about compensation. (Hear, hear.) You look in your dictionaries and see what the word " compensation" means, and then you will soy— a there is any compeaeatiow due at all, it is to those people who, from 1816 down to 1846, were kept epos short com mons by the aristocracy. (Loud cheers, and laughter.) Recollect that when we launched our league we adopted for our motto—" Total, immediate, and unconditional repeal." I (Hsar , bear.) Compensation ! ( Laughter ) Well, hot deny that there is any loge. (Laughter.) Now, I boldly declare, and challenge the adversary to deny it, I declare that the value of land in this country—ofeeirimiltural land in thisoonntry—taking enemas with another in one county and another, the /slue of land in the country is greater now than it was in 1844. (Loud cheers.) I don't mean to gay there are not particular eases' where, for instance, some of the great landed proprietors were foolish enough to prevent railroads sada( ilRe their aeighbourhood. 'Well, I do not mean to say there may not be even POMO empty mansions, and stagnant country towns. That is the fault of those who opposed railroads as they do free trade, and everything else that's good. (Laughter.) But that is more than compensated by the vast increase in the value of land where railroads have been allowed to run ; but taking one with another, I am prepared to maintain, and to prove, that the value of land has not diminished since 1844, before the menhirs were touched by Sir Robert Peel for the last time. But if the value of land ism deeremed, have not the landowners had not their share of seespdeation already in the advantages which free trade has given to them in the price of living, and in other ways / (Hear.) And, besides ' if they had had no such advantages, I main tain this, tha t no body of men, no class its this country, can have a vested interest in laws. ladividuala may have, I grant, a kind of patent right sad benefit, and may be can alise to compensation, if their individual vested interests are invaded for the benefit of the community at large; but damsel, great clause of the community—each as mann factures, or drapers, or greeds, or any other clam, can have no vested interest in laws which affect their pumice. Take, for instance, the ease of lawyers. We have lately had great changes in the law. We have had John Doe and Richard' Roe abolished—and yet the lawyers never asked for com pensation. (Laughter and cheers.) No, there must be no compensation; and the party who holds dice in a free trade reentry like this must also be prepared to aim out free trade to its legitimate coast , comm.

I could au obtain it ; they were beta few friends, who gave me any encouragement, unto- Mika or support. But what is the fact Row ? We have madly had in that great borough • very keg sad Berm Mutest. There were five candidates ; they represented greet differences of opinion, but they were all, to a tun, free-traders. (Cheers.) Nor tared a man, whatever were • his principles, have presented himself to that, the largest borough constitamey in the kingdom, if a doubt bad hung over the sincerity of his devotion to the free-trade principle. Why one of the very first friends I applied to at the cow menoement of that easiest was a man of vast possessions, yet more highly respected for character ; engaged to • great extent in common* ; the largest—if not the largest, among the very largest shipowners in the kingdom—that class among which protectionist prejudices have the lon ges t lin gered. What was it be said to me—he who once Ld es tertained different opinions ? lie, speaking the voice of one of those parishes which constitute the port of London— he said to me—" Give y'ourselves no trouble here ; we are all free traders." (Cheers ) Well, now, gentlemen, if this be now the state of the oonatititeMdee, to what is this vest, this blessed change, mainly owing I It is owing, in my calm and deliberate opinion, the opinion of no inattentive observer of the events that bare upon that quintioo, in which I have taken so deep an interest—it is my calm and deliberate opinion, and 1 em glad to have this public ad grave occasion f stating it— that it is mainly owing to the men of Maochteter—(hear, hear)—to the Anti Cora Law League ; and first in that league, preordain the incarnation, if I may use the term, of that league to the eye of England—the honourable friend who is near mo—whom I used not name, fur his name has become a household word. :It is from the battle-Held on which you have planted your victorious standard that the friends of civil 'ingress and constitutional reform must advance to further tiiumpbs. (Loud and pro longed chemise.) The CHAIRMAN said the next toast I have on the list is The Anti-Corn Law League ;" and I shall call upon Mr. Bright to respond. (Vehement and long-continued abeering.) Mr. JOHN BRIGHT then rose to propose the toast of " Free Trade." In doing so he said—lf any man says that we were wrong in re-organising the League, let him refer for one moment to the f ac t s . Lord Derby I the notorious and unscrupulous leader of the moat i runt party came into office. (Hear, hear.) It is difficult to say how he came there. (Laughter.) I have heard of generals surrendering with whole armies at discretion. I am not sure that the leader of the house did not surrender without discretion. Some say his staff was disordered —(laughter)—some say his troop mutinied—(laughter) some felt that they were almost as often led into the rinks Of the foe as led against them. But whet be the reason, somehow or other Lord Derby came into office. (Hear.) We heard protection blasts, and finally Lord Palmerston offered himself as the great trum peter, and the walla of the whig Jericho fell at since to the ground. But, having Lord Derby in office, We representa tive of • great, though • mistaken, policy, we hear nothing of that policy. (Hear, hear.) When the reform ministry came into office, everybody talked about reform—the fol lowers of the government were encouraged to talk about reform ; when Sir Robert Peel came into office on his tem porary reeignatioa seven years ago, everybody talked about tree trade ; but sow we are in this position, that we have un-' deniably • protection ministry in power, but we are blamed and the followers of that m inistry are positively hooted if they say • single word about the question of protection. A protection meeting is • thing now not to be thought of; but, in fact, I believe it is considered to be as dangerous • thing as a convocation of the clergy. (Tremendous cheesy.) It is not expected to end in • very harmonious and rational discussion of public policy, but to end in confusion and disgrace to all concerned in it. (Loud cheers.) The chairman of the pnblicatioa committee of the poteetion society that ones met at 17, 014 Broad - street, is now trans formed into • Secretary of the Admiralty. (Laughter.) Major Bamford, who was whipper-in to the protection party, is now Secretary at War, and if he does not bold his tongue somebody will have to perform the duty of whipper out. (Laughter.) Mr. Christopher, one of the members of the county of Lincoln, is by some wonderful transforma tion made Chneellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. (Laugh ter.) Mr. Bankes, who declared that free trade would be the ruin of Dorsetabire, is now made judge-advocate. Sir John Trollop., mother eminent protectionist, is now at the head of the poor law board, and Lord Na.., son of Lord Mayo, who recently took the case of the eons millets ander his protection, is now Secretary of Ireland.

(Here the whole company rose, and the cheering and erasion of handle' rubble lasted for some time.)

If zcvvaincL. The CHAIRMAN then said that though the directors would have been fully authorised by the powers entrusted to them to deal with this question without reference to the approval of a meeting of shareholders, still, on a matter of such im portance, he thought it was far better that they had de cided on calling the shareholders together, since where anion could be obtained it was desirable always to have it formally eapreased. After a few observations, the chairs= moved a monition to the effect that the meeting approved of the terms of the contract proposed by the East India Company, in their letter of the 15th Oct., 1862, and that the meeting authorised the directors of the railway company to take all the neeneu7 steps for carrying out the arrsagenwat.

(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Adams) had that mamma in the Board, that he would have found no fault with than, had this meeting not been called ; and he wee stein satiated with their decision. The Causieen mold reply to the honourable proprietor with the most positive assiuranee as to the opinions enter tained by a ll pasties in respect to the claims of the East In dia Railway Company.
