If the vessel sprung a leak, it was better to secure the leak before we sought to discover the cit.. cuiettances uoder which the evil had occurred. (Applause.) Wei-out meaning to impute all the evils under which the country 'elem.! to the corn taws, he had a right to say that tee Cora Laws greatly aggravated those evils. The present system of Corn Lies had been condemned these forty years. They were ent hroned by every political economist from the day. of Adam Smith ; but it was reserved for the present times, and for these who now lived to to see these impolitic laws condemning thsardus, i (Hear.) The bonded warehouses were evened during the bat yew, , and the mohibttory laws suspended. lie understood that fte ' beaded oats had destroyed many tire hones. This was one of the toasla of the Com Laws; and another. which was justly and gee 1 r.eral4 complained of, tau the fraudulent manner in which the ' averages were struck. If the prohibitury laws were good, why had they been =vended? Hut it seemed to be the general opinion, so a e.l u that of Ministers, that the protecting laws had lately bus store honoured in the brim* than the observance." (Applease.) With respect to suspending these prohibitory Acts, he anon be al lowed to say a few words. Illsoraters would soon have to ant tie Representatives of the People in Parliament, and he had as ink they multi furnish an excuse for the easperisioa ; but he suldheed 1 he disliked) the machisery of those laws, and beams ammo to the 1 nuoutitutional prindple of disperefing any laws. Why not make good laws, that would not require to be samended ? James toe errand lust his crown by suspeuding the laws; end though ate tarn Laws might be bad laws, and ;Properly suspended, yet, e. filial:spears said, Use doh breed habit," aid it was not cer tain that Ministers might not acquire the knack of suspending good has ge well es bad. (Hair, bear.) Above two centuries ago, in the time of Edward the Sixth, it wu made penal to deal in corn : ' once then, however, corn was found to have two beneficial user ; it was used,as food so maintain life, and as an article of commerce. Do Mega. as 1713 this costatry wax an exporting country, and so ' it amassed such ' link when the present impolitic laws wet. Pasted.. St dm tliestilsiona of the pear lee had by this time are rived at Nei arms aid fa n• • in *ippon, of the peek. tton he bad hid ellowit, that wit confer a great benefit on the country by the revision alteration of than laws. One , of these facts was, that dear food was equally oppressive to the sad cultural labourer, the manufacturer, and the artisan. Why should not the peasant at his plough want a cheap loaf as well as the ma eufieturer ? (Hear hear .) We had also arrived at another truth, by the attention of an Honourable Liveryman (hc meant Dlr. Hunt). That gentleman had satisfactorily proved that the fanners were not so much benefited by the Corn Laws as they Imagined; in short, ' that they were no more benefited by dear bread and high rents than the other climes of society. Ile now came to the landholders : not being a very good judge of their in terest,. he would not trouble the electing with his own opinion as to the manner in which those laws affected the interest of the land holders; but he would mil one witness, a gentleman of great in formation and weight, and one whose opinion on this subject wee certainly ve-y valuable; the gentleman he alluded to was Mr. it hitn.om, whose pamphlet he (Mr. ravel)) now held in his -,, hard. 'angers were tond of extracting truth Irons en un wiling eri ness. He did not know whether Mr. Whitmore ' was an unwilling witness or not, but he was certainly one of that , e Clan whose interest was supposed to be more peculiarly Identified r 1 with the Corn Laws. And they should mark what he said; his wards were—" Whether I understand my own interest or not I . shall not take upon myself to decide; but, as a landholder, I affirm "hat high prices are r.ot good, because they produce a fluctuation, i .nd raise the value of whatever I want to buy ; so that I am obliged to pay away with one bend what I have received with the other." Trip was the opinion of a landowner—of one of the class which, it ' sta said, would suffer all the injury from the repeal of the Corn laws. Well, we had arrived at another certain print, which was, - :at the then Laws were a modern innovation ; so that they could errs be supported upon the grounds of their ancient origin. Now, Si .0 meeting t a me difficulties with which we were surrounded, he itiew that ours was a pretty, snug, little island, and if we were thrown on ourselves. and had not a public debt of 800 millions, tve:ey-one millions of the interest of which was dependent on the I 'it!OOls, we might do very well with lees foreign trade. We had editing to bey against the agricultural interest. There was no iel lien present who had any prejudice against the agriculturists. II ' , at could they have to say against the delightful meadows. the sereent fields, and waving harvests, which cle a the eye and gladden the heart ? He was disposed as much as any man could be to ' t'avour agriculture, as far as it was consistent with other branches of attifzi:i obraLhier,.. ai,o tr e ppi v i alua .) ble iir Co l. v em werce : too, w r as the t landowiue, hail admitted that the interests of the coenmuttity were combined, and made bet one ; and the point now was, whether one of these intetes.s should continue to oppress the rest ? He would ask, Gould what was called a remunerative price continue for corn, anion the other branches of minima industry were in a prosperous state? If the cruinnfaeturer could not live lit bane he must emi grate, and liquid theugriculturista like to he left to pay the na eual debt themselves. (Hear, hear.) They had now come to tte paint s date eras no time for trifling about particular interests. We were about to call upon a new Parliament to re-consider the %hole system of the Corn Isaws, and to in an inquiry into te expenditure and public establishments, with a view, to retrench ment and sameeeny. No doubt many of the Members had been We complainant to their constituents during the late elections, and te theiimes he obverted s lat 'Weft all of them bad a teed — et ' . allienet."

(Laughter.) Hs that the Care Laws were equally injurious to the rower mitilikei consumer. Ile had a letter to bis pocket, stating that theeleanwe 600 cargoes of corn in the continental seaport's, for which thy was no outlet. and which would immediately find their way into oat bar. hours if the Corn Lsws were repealed. .Isio doubt the people who had grown this corn would he glad to get clothed in the produce of the English manufacturer's industry, but that those abominable prohibitory laws prevented it, and kept the foreigner without a market for his corn. The effects of those laws were not confined to this country ; but created distress is the countries around us. On one side there was the Pole and the Russian half clad, and on the other the Englishman in misery, wanting bread. The former had plenty of corn, the latter plenty of clothing; both were desirous to exchange, but could not, because a fragment of aristocracy, in the shape of en Act of Parliament, said, " the Pole shall go naked and the Englishman starve." (Applause.) But do those who are anx ious for the continuance of the Corn Laws act in the same spirit in which they speak to the poor man ? For their morning's meal do they send to Mr. Hunt for his English barley ? (A laugh.) Do they drink the b'cxxl of Sir John Barleycorn after their evening's repast ? No, the vineyards of Europe, and the distant East were compelled to supply their wants. He again asserted that they did not deal out an equal measure of jastice to the poor man when they relaxed to reduce that snide upon which his existence de pended, while they indulged themselves in all the luxuries which the world could supply. Ile said, out upon such patriotism : it was heartless and hollow. The system of Corn Laws was nothing mare than a system upheld by those who legislated for the purpose of re. *being a high rent out of a bail Foil, upon which capital ought never to have been expended to bring it into cultivation. As to the Ministers, he would call it an act or heroic virtue, which would en title them to more confidence than ever a pet of Ministers deserved or enjoyed, if they should be able to carry a measure so accordant with public feeling, and se well calculated to promote public pros. runty. If they destroyed a system pregnant with so much evil, he should consider them the most illustrious men to whom the ' destinies of this nation had ever been committed. But if such was the disposition of Ministers, which lie believed, they re. (mired Resistance. They_. required that the people should speak their will boldly. Perhaps a time might arrive when it would be necessary to do It imperatively. The power of the people was so small, when opposed to the combined and organised influ ence which upheld the existing system, that they should come fen ward mu and enteusegiag,ly, so thee Shan II came to men tattle with the common enemy, they 2 y upon the public farm oon. Bat =en hs detagg6 by the opposition which they must makes upon, sad verses se secede to public opinion, they woald preps" far themedves and lbr the country a scene of deflells Had away ouch es was stave before witnessed. There was one assolation— the evil was **monstrous it could not coutfnue very bag. It was an immense increase to the burdens of the country, Web did no thing but evil to the poor, and added 10 or 20 millions more to the taxes, to benefit a few privileged individuals. They might look about thens on the peculiar blessings and privileges which they enjoyed, but those privileges and blessings were all nullified by that incubus, the Corn Laws. In this country there was great industry. Our labourers toiled sixteen heirs a day, whilst in other countries the labouring population work for no more than ten hours. We had greater intelligence than other countries, and greater capital, as was proved by the low rate of interest which money bears in England. Rut in despite of these advantages and privileges, every thing was lost because a handful of individuals, panes:mg more than their proper share of senatorial influence, =beet thousands from the people to put a few shillings into their sus pockets. lie sincerely trusted this system would shortly be at an end. Public opinion wet every day becoming more powerful, sod Intelligence got new wings to help on her flight ; supported by those he did not despair of seeing the measure they were this day Messesing carried triumphantly. The people should go on mode. Gately, but sternly and uncompromisingly, until they attained the object they had in view,—an object of so much importance, that when it wes achieved its advantages would not be so fully disclosed IA its immediate benef.ts as in the future prosperity fur which it would lay a foundation. (Applause.) Mr. Bowring concluded by sesesdiog the Resolutions. STEVENS said, that palpable as were the advantages which be derived from a repeal of' the Corn Lists, he could not aosmat to hold it out as a panacea for the accumulated evils under wild& the country was suffering--evils which had arisen from a sembisonn of causes, and which had been long foretold by indi viduals saw present. During the last war the merchants resid e d in the manufacturers tared eumptuously every day, and the forgot their ploughs to step into carriages and associate with Noe Lords of the earth, whilst their daughters, accomplished for the drawing.roorn, were introduced into society which they now *stead into for the first time, but where they thought they were for ewer to dwell. The time was not come when the agriculturist could contest his claim to advantages beyond the other classes of the com munity. The commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural inte rests were one, aid bad a right to pay scot and lot alike. In peti tioning against the monopoly in corn, they were not opposed to the agriculturist, but to the landowner. (Hear.) The landowner and the agriculturist were distinct classes of society, differing in this, that the latter predated something for the good of the Sate, and the former worked wily for their own interest. But who were the lend. owners ? Were they not also the legislator ? and did they not al way. legislate for themselves, by taking money froth the pockets of the people and putting it into their own ? la 1015 petitions were resented from all earn of the country for the repeal of the Income Tax. The landowners Platted by this tax; they lent a willing ear to the petitions which were poured In, and readily agreed to repeal that tax. But, not contefft with putting money irtto their pockets by ridding themselves of this burden, they also datinninW to be. nefft themselves by an alteration in the whole system of the Corn Imes. Petitions were poured in against that measure, pnsying that it should not pass; but the legislating turned a deaf ear to there matinees, row it did pass, because it was for the benefit of the land femme. Thus those landowners, being the law-Makers, repeal este law to put money Into their pockets. and pass another to put money also into their pockets, by throwing an enormous burden on the other classes of the community. He repeated, that the landholder and the farmer should never be mixed up. The agricultural labourers should never be con founded with those who got all, held all, and were new endea vouring to keep all, careless of the interests of the farmer, anima, and manufacturer. We should look closely to this matter, in order es* to comprehend it. The Al Mister, during the last Session of PMiament, at the opening of the budget, endeavoured to prove that he had taken off' 27 millions of taxer. But how was this effected ? iVas it by lopping off sinecures, and reducing the gale ries of those who held useless places ? No such thing. The re. duetion of taxes was to be produced by the increase of trade • and, now that trade was depressed, and the revenue diminished, he sup. posed the nixes mum be put on again. There was an abundance of Warm talked by the landowners. They say, " Let us have a pro tecting duty, we are so heavily taxed." Will the people now come forward to apply for a seduction of taxation, as well as a repeal of these laws, which had been passed by the House of Lords, who were repearented in the House of . Commong ? A reduction of taxation the Lino imam had no objection to; but they said, " Don't reduce our incomes ;" so that, to enable about 72,000 persons (that was the ealculation)to live in palaces and be waited upon by liveried menial., nearly twenty millions of penises should be allowed to want bread. Tles poor man had his income reduced from thirty to twenty shil ling, a week—a full third ; but if you talk of taking away one thousand a pm from the great landholder, who had an income of n a me that amount, be became immediately alarmed, and worm dented utter ruin bathe country. The question was not, however. between the landholden and dear corn, because, in point of fact, if the people could not get it cheap, they would have It for nothing. i The people had learned an useful leston--they would no longer be .THE B - :TlSti MESS.. led Imo riots; the pwroW . on of lite:Mg, ba t raseed this happy effect t Instead of doting they mamm g a s o merghmes, and hare enrs for nothing. at Ws iipilisef die limilliiden (Cheers.)

He gave Mr. Canning, and Mr. Huainton, and Mr. Robinson, full credit for what they had done ; and, more than that, he gave them credit for what they attempted to do; sad although they had sent him to gaol, he was the man, if their measures were such as were called for by the exigencies of the State, to stand by them to the last. (Great cheering.) They had had diffletilt times recently to contend with. The people were in a state of 'alloOlute starvation in Lancashire, such as was never known in any quitter of she world, except in misgoverned and unhappy teflon& The people were in fact driven to desperation, and he knew not what might be the con- reettence if some of those who were now no more were still at the 1 head of the Adminiqrstion.. It was impossible to say what might have been the result if Castlereagh had still been in office; but most probably the country would have bred deluged in blood. There was • portion to the same spirit still leafing an the Ministry, and it therefore behoved the people to strengthen the haudaof that portion of them who were liberally disposed. He had been condemned for speaking of the dead; but when he spoke of Mr. Pitt upon a former occasion in that Hall, he spoke, not of the man, but of his deeds ; and if he were ta be prohibited speaking thu . ache dead, how was Lord Chatham to be spoken of in ternl3 of admiration ? lie would, however, repeat that it was the cursed Pitt sister:l which • had demoralised the country. Castlereagh wee the bastard fol. lower-up of that system, and he (Mr. Hunt) might fairly assert of him that the only act of justice which he had ever rendered to his country was the last act of hi! life.

In bis opinion, unless a reduction took place in the public expendi. tare, the country would not be materially benefited. Upon this point there could be no opposition of interest between the agreul torist and the other breathes of the community ; anti upon this, at least, he anticipated perfect unanimity, In conclusion, lie repeated the pleasure be should feel in carrying into effect the wishes of the Livery. Alderman WAITIIMAN next presented himself, and was received with marked applause. He said he need not tell the Meet ing with what pride and satisfaction he agreed to the resolutions he had heard this day. In the year 1015, he had taken an active part in opposition to the laws which were now complained of, and bad drawn up a series of eesolutions, which in the course of a few days received 60,000 signatures, and which were the same in substance .s those submitted to the Meeting. He felt much satisfaction in thus publicly stating that he concurred in general in the observe dons which had fallen that day; and he congratulated the Livery, not on the unanimity which prevailed, for that was to be expected, but on the firmness and temper which was exhibited, and on the fact that the speakers were not led into matter of an extraneous Character. A petition coming under such circumstances mule come with peculiar weight. It had never been hie principle that a repre sentative was not the representative of the particular city or county which sent him to Parliament only, but of the whole kingdom, and that he should not look to Ineal interests, but to the interests of Ihe annoy. He would look upon it as dishonoutable if that Meet ing nought the promotion of ha own interests to the injury of the lumens of others. He ponerived that the measure they rccom. mended to Parliament would be as great an advantage to the agri culturalist as to those he was addressing. He did not look so much to their immediate interest as to their permanent interest. The body politic was like the natural body. Man could not be in sound health prams there was a regular circulation, and that the blood _flowed through all the parts. although some of the vessels were more capacious than others. It was the same in the body politic: there must be a general circulation, or that body could not be in a healthy state. Now, lie asked, how oould high rents be supported when every thingelse was depreciated ? In 1013 there was what was called a great revulsion. a revulsion from war to peace, which produced distress, that it wu maid was temporary, and would shortly pass away. More than ten years had since passed, and still there was a revul. sion. and a combination of evils arising from a corrupt system ban?, pursued. and supported by laws raising the price of provisions. Now, what was this but to drive the skill and intluvry of the country elsewhere? It was also to drive away the customers; foe it should he recollected that raising the prices of provision was driving out of die country ninny persons who were receiving the produce of our industry, and spending the amount which they re ceived by our taxation in foreign countries. Of late years it had become nothing uncommon for parents to send their children to foreign countries to have them educated. The result of al! this must be, that the manufacturers will follow their customers to foreign countries, to the destruction of our trade at borne. In fact, all the interests of die community were so blended, that it was im possible to uphold one for any time to thy injury of the others. The distress which bad arisen from the present system was inealen. laid.. Thousands of Individuals, capable of labouring. were Imp parted by public charity, and it was not the unemployed alone who .sotheed, as the Gazette testified. Within the last year above 3.01 1, Weed through the Gazette, besides a much larger number who hadikesdopeivate maim/mites with their creditors. Not only the Ca. Laws but the whole eyetent, must, be changed. It was a 'piens if Profligacy_ and corruption which had been carried on for nearly 30 years. He asked, was it not proper that those who pro. /tad by the war should participate in the loss which the comma. Idly sustained by it? The great leading measures which were now called for were, a repeal of the Com Laws and a diminution of taxation. If Ministers firmly stood up to effect those objects, they would find themselves supported by the people at large. It mat tered not to the people who brought forward a measure; if it was salutary, they ahould give it their support (hear), and if Ministers were contrincNl of the necessity-of carrying the measures now re commanded, he was of opinion that the House of Commons would very shortly enter into their views. Mr. Alderman Taoatrsow said he merely came forward to declare his rein:lidera to co-operate in that great and important martin, the repeal of the Corn Laws. (Applause.) The senti ments of the meeting were in unison with his own. He conceived that those laws operated unjustly on the manufacturing and corn. menial interest*, and that the energetic language contained in the resolutions they hod heard read, would Mite the othet Corporations of the kingdom to follow ;he example of the Livery of London,—..
