In the orchestra, near the chairman, there were some eight or ten members of the Town Coun cil, but otherwise the local politicians of import ance, either in that respect or in a social point of view, were " conspicuous from their absence." Mr. Leatham, M.P., was on the platform. The Secretary, Mr. JAMES TAYLOR, read letters from Lord J. Russell and a great number of other persons, apologising for absence. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said that, according to Mr. Tidd Pratt, there were 2,500,000 of the adult population of this country who were members of friendly societies. If to this was added the large number of persons who were members of freehold land ana building societies , also adults, h e was sure t h ey would agree with him that the Minister would be a bold man who would much longer deny such a population the right to vote. For his own part, these societies had in every res;)ect his cordial approval. The Rev. R. APKENziE (Scotch Church) moved the first resolution, and in doing so described the Freehold Land Society movement as the most Conservative movement that had ever been insti tuted in this conntr`i. By its instrumentality the best interests of this country •would be conserved and promoted. He moved :—" That the greater the number of persons interested in real property, the greater will be the guarantee of the stability of good and useful institutions; and therefore it is the opinion of this meeting that the effect of free hold land and building societies will be to give the industrious classes that stake in the country which has generally been awarded as the lot of the few only, and will thereby induce among the masses those habits. of providence and self reliance for the want of which many persons have at times been seriously misled." Mr. WHITE, M.P. for Brighton, moved the fol- lowing resolution :—" That it is the deliberate opinion of this meeting that the laws which inter fere with the natural and free division of land—the laws of primogeniture and of entail—and the need less impediment to the sale and transfer of land arising from the difficulty of giving and obtaining valid titles under the present practice in this coun try, are injurious to industry and to the well-being and independence of the people; and that the abo- lition of these laws and the removal of these impe diments would rapidly improve the social condition and raise the character of our agricultural popula ticin." Mr. I. F. BONTEMS, of London, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. BRIGHT, on rising and coming forward to the chairman's table, was vociferously cheered. Looking back, he said, at the many meetings which had been held in that hall, he did not think there had been one of a more remarkable character than that which was assembled there that night. The details which had been laid before them by his hon. colleague touching the society which they were met to celebrate were only too short. He had had sta- tistics put in his possession which supported this statement. He understood that there were not less than 8,000 or 9,000 members and subscribers, &c., connected with the freehold land societies of the town of Birmingham and its immediate suburbs, and of these (confining himself to those particularly represented on this occasion) he was told that 95 per cent. were really what might be termed "work ing men." Now, if this were so—if this meeting were the real representation of this class, he repeated that it was a remarkable meeting, and that it was to be taken as a proof of the character of the people of Birmingham and its surrounding districts. It proved also their industry, their skill, their fruga lity, their endurance, their self-denial, their noble aspirations after something good, and something higher than that to which they had yet attained. (Applause.) It was not only a proof of this, but it was a protest—it was a protest against the laws which excluded this great body of the people from any power or any right of citizenship in their country, and a protest against those hurtful and vicious laws which mainly excluded them from any possession of the soil. (Hear.) Now, the original purpose of these societies was to find a mode—a chink, a small doorway, a little entrance which our lawmakers had not remembered to shut up—(ap plause and laughter)—by which the people might purchase a right which, if their constitution was properly read, would be given freely to almost all of them. At the same time it was to enable them to overcome the difficulties which law and practice in this country had placed in the way of any man who wished to become possessed of a small portion of the soil of the country in which he lived. They were accustomed to speak of England as a " free country," and it was a country of personal freedom, and, in some respects, of sore oppression. (Cheers.) They had personal freedom, or they would not be in the Free Trade-hall to discuss these questions that very night —some of them would have been put under lock and key long ago else ; they had the right to write or speak ; they had freedom to meet together as they met then ;'they had freedom, happily, though recently gained, to the free ex change of the produce of our industry either among ourselves or with any other Power on the face of the earth. (Applause.) Well, had anybody suffered from this freedom ? Was there a man in that town unwilling to admit at that moment that everything before him great and noble on the soil of England had been reared, and in fact existed, by this free dom of ours ? (Cheers.) Nobody was the worse for it. The Crown was no less safe ; the interests which they were taught were so valuable and were always in danger were all intact, and everybody must re joice at the freedom they enjoyed. (Applause.) But there was one point upon which Englishmen must be considered less free than those in other countries, and more particularly those in the United States of America. The land of this country was not free ; everything which human law and preference could do had been done to pre. vent its being free; what could be more monstrous than, if they were to bring upon the platform a stranger, to inform him that we were free in the exchange of our products of industry, but that in the land, the principal basis of industry, we were less free than any other country on the globe ? Would he believe it to be a fact ? And yet such was the case. Corn was free now, but it was not some years ago; if it had not been so now the coun try would have been turned upside down. Iron was free, shares were free, cash was free, everything but land, which had a clause attached to it which would prove utterly ruinous to anything else. The land, in point of- fact, was in bondage, and the people in bondage with it. Mr. Bright went on to say that he felt it his duty to confine himself as much as possible to the special object of this meet ing, in order to show, as far as the time allowed, that the obstacles which the Birmingham freehold land societies were intended to surmount were obstacles they , should contend against in a more genera'_ sphere, and which they ought to compel the Parliament of England before long to remove. (Cheers.) The first of these obstacles was the law of primogeniture. If the editors of the newspapers or the writers of those journals favoured the public with any of their observations upon what he was now saying, they would no doubt tell them this, that there was no such thing in England as the law of primogeniture, and that a man might leave his property as he liked by his will ; that it was only in those cases where he died without a will that the law • of primogeniture comes into effect, the fact being that the whole of the freehold landed property was given to the one son, although the rest of the brothers and sisters were turned penni less into the world. (Applause.) That was the law he complained of. That was the practice which it engendered, and which, the hon. gentleman pro ceeded to remark, was as injurious as the law itself. To give a case in point, when the law of England in this respect prevailed i n th e A mer i can co l ony of Virginia, Mr. Jefferson, who was second to none since the days of Columbus for a love of liberty, considered it one of the most beneficient of acts that he could abolish that system of law in the State. The result was that when the law was gone and the sanction of the law was withdrawn, the practice immediately began to fall into less use, and the men who beggared their younger sons and daugh ters that they might make one rich and powerful, these men left a character behind them that no living man would wish to inherit at his death. (Loud applause.) In this country he believed that if the law of primogeniture were abolished, and that when a man died leaving landed property or other property the same principle or righteous division should be adopted, the practice which now prevails would fall into disuse, and so great would be the character of the change, that he was entirely satisfied that the abolition of the law would be fol lowed by the abolition of the practice, and he there 7, fore ch arge d upon th e Jaw of primogeniture far' larger evils. their follow in particular' cases where a man dies without a will. It. was a grievous thing that these mischievous laws were scarcely found in operation without the law of entail being found added to them. These laws came down to us from a time of great and brutal conquest, when the whole population were reduced to a position of slavery by Norman conquerors, and it was only now that Re were escaping from that system. He trusted the time would come when there should not be left upon our statute-books a vestige of the tyranny which took place at that period. As to the opera tion of the law of entail, rich men, and sometimes poor men who were proud and foolish, and who wished to perpetuate a family name, did grievous injustice in this mode ; they give their estates, say, A to B his son, and after B to C, and after C to any son of C—call him D—who might be born within 21 years after the making of that will; thus a man made a will leaving property to his son, grandson, and son of that grandson wbo might be born with. in 21 years after the making of the instrument, thus giving a direction to a great estate for 60 or 80 years after the executing of the deed, and preventing it being sold, from the very grave where he had re turned to his original element. (Hear.) Now,when he was answered upon this point he should be told that the laws of entail were not as they used to be ; but the laws of Scotland were so bad that only about 16 years ago, during the period that Mr. Rutherfurd was Lord Advocate, a law was proposed for the purpose of bringing the laws of Scotland into a less barbarous condition, making them a little less barbarous than the laws of England. He should be told that any man having an entailed estate could, with the consent of his son, cut off the entail. That was true ; but it often happened that the inte rest of the one was opposed to such a process, and, therefore, the cutting off the entail does not take place in many instances. The resolution which had been moved referred to another item, as to the vali dity of titles and the intricacies of the law. If there were a lawyer present and he were to give them all the legal terms that formed part of a legal convey ance of land, most of those present would suppose that he was sayingsomething that was not English at all, for no person in that hall would be able to comprehend him. When they required to sell a landed estate it required that they should go back 60 years, in order to ascertain that there was no possible flaw with regard to the title. When they recollected how long a time 60 years was—for there were few in that room who could look back for such a period—and when they considered the probabi lity of mortgages, or some other transactions taking place during that period, they could well imagine how few cases there were in which they could go back for 60 years without finding something which would enable the buyer's attorney to say that there was something not sound in the title, and thus enable the lawyers to go on for months and years without a conveyance being effected; so that sometimes the buying of an estate was the greatest plague of a man's life. Not being a lawyer he was unable to give them a minute description of those laws affecting the purchase of landed pro perty, which,.although it might be amusing, would go far to confound a great number of those present. But he would ask them, if these laws and customs were made general what would be the result? Sup pose, when a max died without a will in business, the law handed all the property to the eldest son, and told the others to get their own living. Sup pose the system of entail were followed up in all other kinds of property. Suppose when they bought anything that had endured for 60 years that they should be compelled to go back for that period to establish a title. Suppose the law which makes it imperative with regard to land to prove a title for 60 years applied to the business of the nation and the produce of the national industry. If such a law were applied, there would be an end to all social progress, all commercial industry, and even to civilisation. There were certain objects sought to be obtained, and the general result of these laws was that it required as far as possible the land should be held by the great proprietors. That 'was one of the results. Another was that it destroyed gra dually all the independent yeomen of the kingdom. This was a remarkable fact, which every one would do well to ponder over, for England was the only civilised country in the globe—the only Christian country, in whieh the possessors of the soil are be coming less in number. Whether they looked to France, where the division of the soil was made com pulsory, or to the United States, where there were no laws either to compel a division or to prevent it, which he believed to be the proper course to adopt— in no country was the number of the proprietors of the soil decreasing but in this United Kingdom, where there was so much industry, so great a creation of wealth, and such an anxiety to possess land. Here the numbers of the owners of the land had been steadily diminishing. He regarded this as a most unnatural system. Nothing could be more cruelly unjust or unnatural than the course which was taken for providing extravagantly for one member of a family at the expense of another ; but there was an answer to this. And he was sur prised on looking in the " Encyclopaedia Britan nica" on the subject of primogeniture, and he was sorry that Mr. Black had not had somebody to rewrite that article for his new edition, to find that the writer of that article stated that there was a great advantage in giving the whole of the property to one son and none to the next. What was the advantage ? Why it was this—that the man who has nothing must try to get something, instead of folding his arms in idleness and living in luxurious ease like his brother. He must set to work, and by great exertion, profitable alike to the public and the country, he might make something for himself; but to this his (Mr. Bright'©) answer was, let them carry out this principle a little further, and let the State take the property altogether, and then they would not have nine penniless children, but ten, and the elder brother would then have to work. There were two results that in this country followed from this system, and it was with a view to one of these results that the system was retained. " Power is concentrated in the territorial classes," says Dr. J. Taylor, who observes that the land is the true basis of power. He (Mr. Bright) did not want a law that would shut one man out from the posses sion of land in order that the land might be retained in the possession of a few, that they might usurp the powers of the State. Unhappy results followed from the present system, injurious to the cultiva tion of the soil and to the walfare of the farmer and labourer. He recollected reading in a history which he recommended everybody to read—the " History of the Colonisation of the United States," written by Mr. Bancroft, once a Minister to the Court of this country, and who he should say was perhaps the first living historian, whether they regarded the subject upon which he treated, or the manner in which he handled his theme—and there was no man who had written upon historical questions who was more worthy of their study—Mr. Bancroft de scribed what was done with regard to the State of Carolina some 200 years ago. The statesmen of this country at that period concocted a constitution for that colony something on the basis of that of this country. They wanted to build up a great territorial power in that province; for, as Mr. Ban croft said, " the ancient aristocracy dread the moral power of the proprietary yeomen, and seek the degradation of the cultivators of the soil, and to render the power of man inactive." 'Well, what was the result ? Why, it was found that the Con stitution which they had prepared for this State would not work at all: The Constitution of the plain men of Pennsylvania and other States all worked well. Coming from the State of Virginia, he would take a view of their own country. He would take a view of their own farmers. He would not speak disrespectfully of the farmers, but he would look at theircandition in a political point of view, as a groat- Tresof pollttca . vifireh v,-es the greatest question, except religion, to which a man could turn his attention. In their own part of the country they knew the farmers did not return the county members from any judgment of their own. If they went into Wales they would find that nine tenths of all the farmers were Liberals, and most of them Dissenters ; but they would find that scarcely even a single man ever entered the House of Com mons from Wales unless he was greatly enamoured of the Church of England, and was consequently a Churchman. Again, if they went to Ireland they would find that the majority of the inhabitants in the north of Ireland were Presbyterians, but the Presbyterian farmers returned no members to the House of Commons ; not even one from the whole of that body. What a system of humiliation they were in ! That system of humiliation proceeded from this circumstance—they till the land, but own not the land ; they are cultivators under a body of great proprietors, and their tenures are often insecure. The Dissenters in Wales were in much the same state, and so were the members of the Free Church in Scotland. There was nobody in the House of Commons who represented their sentiments. But, leaving the farmers, he would say a few words about the labourers. He had no sympathy with the farmers, for if a farmer occupied 500 acres of land he could not help him. As to the labourers, he was of opi nion that there was no body of men who appealed so much to the consideration and political sympathy of the people in the towns in England as the agri cultural labourers. He was reading the other day a work of unimpeachable testimony called the " Recreations of a Country Parson," an amusing work in some respects, but still an interesting book, composed of articles which appeared originally in Fraser's Magazine, a work which had not the least been taintedwith the principles entertained there at present. Of this parson he had no knowledge, except that his book came under his (Mr. Bright's) notice, and he read it. He describes what happens in country life, and in a country house. He described a ploughman, and he (Mr. Bright) wished he knew the country in which he lived, but the author would be able to read in one of the papers that he (Mr. I Bright) bad quoted from his book, which would at least serve as an advertisement. At any rate, speak ing of the ploughman, the writer said it was hard work for that poor fellow ill paid. No horse, mule, donkey, camel, or any other beast of labour in the world went through so much exertion in proportion to his strength between sunrise and sunset as he did. Mr. Bright read—" The theory of political economy. I hare not understanding for it, and I feel glad when I think the social evils and the re sponsibilities of treating them rest upon abler heads than mine." But he (Mr. Bright) asked why a cler gyman knew nothing of political economy. If a clergyman could take the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelations, and could, week after week, dis course powerfully to large audiences upon things far higher than political economy—of things be longing not to this world, but to another and higher state—surely if he had intellect to do that, he might take up Adam Smith on the " Wealth of Nations," and other books bearing upon the subjects, and bring his polished intellect—polished at Oxford or Cambridge to bear upon this great question, and solve those fearful problems . In every neighbourhood there walked a plough man working harder for his bare livelihood than any brute beast which God had made. He did not for a moment believe that it was an order of God. He did not believe that it was a law of Nature that there should be this wide difference in the direction and diffusion of property. If he thought it neces sary that these people should go on thus toiling for the future, then he would be greatly changed, for he could not believe in either the justice or bene ficence of that Being whom he had been taught to worship. The people of the town had delivered the country from whatever of evil and of grievous legis lation they had escaped during their lifetime : they knew that the whole political life of England was. to be found in England's towns and cities. They had freed the produce of the soil. The very fact of that freedom relieved the terrible calamity of the season through which they had passed, and though showers had fallen almost incessantly for months, and our own soil had refused to give quantity and quality of the staff of life, yet, through that fact of freedom, there was not a sea over which there were not floating ships freighted from every clime with the harvest where the sun and soil had been more propitious to furnish to us the abundance which, but for that change in the law, it would have been impossible we this year could have procured. Let us then see if we cannot free the land. It was not more true that you had the right to buy your corn freely in the world's market than it was that you had the right to buy or sell land in your own country as freely as you buy or sell any other article of exchange or of possession. Why was it, then, that they had suffered these evils until now ? He was told that it was necessary for the support of a privileged class. Well, bat he heard exactly the same then about the Corn Laws. He recol lected travelling with a gentleman many Years ago, during the time of the Anti-Corn Law agita tion, who got into the coach at Harrogate, and went along as he did to Newcastle. He was a gentleman very well known in what are called monetary circles, and also in evangelical circles, and he (Mr. Bright) thought, therefore, that he had a man intelligent enough about business, as and with conscience enough ( he professed to be religious) that he might discuss this question with some hope of.a reasonable result. Ho did not deny that the Corn-law made bread scarce ; he did not deny that to the poorest of the people it was the infliction of a famine; but he said it was necessary to su pport the aristocracy of England, a n d h e sa id the glory, strength, and reputati on o f t hi s country in every foreign nation depended upon our greatness and magnificence— the munificence rather than the greatness of the aristocracy. Well, he (Mr. Bright) undertook i o dispute all that. The law had been abolished, the aristocracy were not lessened in the least, and they bore an incalculably less amount of odium than they did while the law was in existence. Society was not so estranged as it was. The people had done the aristocracy a prodigious amount of good, which few had thanked them for. They told the people that it was necessary they should have chiefs to govern them, and the leading man in a family who got an estate became &ruler ; they ought e to be thankful for such a privilege. Ike (Mr: BFt agreed with General Thompson when he \ stifd when a man was strong he would put all the.Veaka ones upon the public. The strong man posiressed enough, and returned members to Parliament, and. made laws and assisted in spending taxes, wrack already amount to some £75,000,000 a-year, whiich affore. scope for the younger brothers, cousins, &e., or our aristocracy. In his opinion in. a free country (and he did not say it was not a free' country) they could breed men and rear men fit to rule without violating the laws of nature. He thought also that the families of gentlemen and. noblemen, whose prolongation of existeace from. generation to generation was based on the virtues of their members, were infinitely of more worth to the State than those kept on their legs by the laws of primogeniture and entail. (Cheers.) The subject was a great one; it was rot often touched on in meetings like the present; but on that occasion when they were met to promote the social elevation of their countrymen, he thought it not amiss that they should discuss fairly and freely the grievance which he held to exist in regard ,to the law of tenure. It wee thought useless to repeal the Corn Laws, and they' wished us almost at perdition because we repealed them for them. The hon. member concluded as fol lows:—The landowners don't understand the ques tion; they fancy there is a terrible abyss opening b e f or e them, and they don't know how far they' are going down, and they fear that perhaps they will never find any bottom if they fall. This is the sort of notion they have if this law should be touched. , They imagine it is something very complex, which it is as it exists, and they think it is very dange rous to meddle with it in the least. The fundamen tal notion in the landowner's mind— I am not speak ing of the intelligent landowners, but of the general body of landowners—is, they think when we pro pose the alteration of those lave, we propose some „thing which oblige them to rut With Plait estates by some mysterious Owes; Wei they ean not avert, and that in some way or other their power as great territorial magnates will be abo lished. On the contrary, I believe this freedom which I advocate would raise the value of land in every parish in the United Kingdom. I believe, whether a man kept it or sold it, it would be worth more if these laws were abolished. I believe it would give an enormous stimulus to labour all over the agricultural districts, and raise the wages of the labourers. (Cheers.) I was at Paris last week, where I met with an American gentleman. We discussed their politics and their recent presiden tial election. Among other things, he told me that 4s. a day and a dollar a day (4s. 6d.) was the regu lar amount of wages of a farm labourer in that country. But that labourer does not grow As much wheat on an acre as the farm labourer here. The land does not produce as much ; and in Lancashire every girl and every boy almost is getting wages , equal to the father of a family following the plough in the land of England. How is it ? Shall it endure for ever ? It is for us to alter it ; and we can alter it if we understand the question thoroughly, and set our shoulders to the wheel and determine to do it. We shall give employment to the people, we shall raise wages, and breathe the breath of life into those politically dead, and close up that deep and wide chasm which these laws have created between the possessors of land and other classes of society, particularly that class of which my friend the clergyman speaks when he describes and deplores their condition. (Cheers.) Now, I say, then, we, as members of the House of Com mons, are in the way of our duty, as connectedwith those zealous citizens having votes, in discussing this question, and urging some public measure with regard to it. lam sure if land were as free as corn, and'as free as cotton, it would give power to the Government as the dispenser of justice. And at the same time it would give contentment to the people, who would rejoice as they would have occasion to rejoice in the abolition of a great and grievous wrong. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Bright and Mr. Scholefield for their attendance, with which the proceedings terminated. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Dec. 4.—ln yarns there is mot much business for any market, but what sales are reported have been done at an advance of about d. per lb. on last week's dates. The tales have been chiefly for China, Calcutta, and Bombay. But spinners of counts and qualities for these markets were previously well under contract, and buyers have much difficulty in placing new orders for early delivery and at suitable prices. One sale to-day for China was rather large, and at the highest rate obtained forsome time past. For other foreign markets, and for the home trade, busi ness is rather quiet, but the market is firm And steady. The cloth-market labours under much other embarrassment than that for yarn. There is A telegram from Calcutta to Nov. 9, stating that there is no improvement in goods, but that twist was in a rather better position. xchanges had advanced Id. to 3-d. Here, though we have no change in prices for cloth, the complications in America are producing much embarrassment, and buyers are very unwilling to operate at last prices, so that stocks of some kinds are beginning to accumulate to an extent we have not known for some time past. The American houses find their orders being can celled, and this naturally reacts upon the manufac turers most unfavourably. Cloths, where they are ' remunerative at present prices, are less so than yarns, a result which partly arises from the dispro portionate increase of weaving sheds as compared with spinning frames. The improved demand for China goods, reported on Tuesday last, continued to the end of the week, but yesterday and to-day there has been less disposition to buy. Manufac turers, however, as a rule are pretty well engaged. and hold firmly for last week's rates. For other descriptions there is also less inquiry, and though we cannot quote any actual decline in prices the tendency is in favour of buyers. LEEDS, 4th.—The weather has been very wet and. uncomfortable to-day, and has undoubtedly checked. the attendance both of buyers and sellers. There was, however, a moderate amount of business done, but chiefly to sort stocks for immediate wants. Prices in' general remain very steady.
