No. 16,672, LONDON, NV EDNESDAY EVENI Tr Ny JANUARY 21, 1816 PRICE SD. MBETJNG AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR. A very numerous meeting Of the inhabitants 4sf West minster was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. On the platform we observed Howard Elphinstone, Esq., M.P., the Hon. Mr. Bouverie, Sir De Lacy Evans, Milner Gibson, Esq., &e. &c. Mr. Elphinstone was voted unanimously to the chair, and was greeted with loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, this great public meeting has been called together for the purpose of enabling the inhabitants of this great metrop o lit a n enngtati a sufficiency o f f oo d . Withves, it is my d uty to rea d to borough to express their opinion of the impolicy and injustice of those laws which now prevent the people of y E r eongugalraldentdtteorfsr youroha torbehtpdarvienesi been received fr om t h em . T he first is from Mr. Leader. [Here the Chairman read a letter from that gentleman, dated the 20th instant, at Calais, acknowledging an invitation from the West minster Reform Club, to attend the meeting, but stating that it was oat of his power do so, at the same time ex pressing his hostility to the corn-laws. The Chairman also read letters from the Hon. Captain Rota, Lord Robert Grosvenor, Mr. Hawes, M.P., Sir W. Clay, arm Colonel P. Thompson, to a similar effect, and expressing their intention of voting for the object of the 'fleeting in their places in Parliament.] Gentlemen, I must say I think that when we look at the present great meeting, and when we know that other equally large meetings have been held in almost every borough in the kindgom, We must congratulate ourselves on the great progress that has been made on this important question ; and every thinking man, unfettered by prejudices, and who has paid attention to the events daily occurring, must conclude that the corn laws are destined to speedy annibilation.—(Cheers.) We have come to the conclusion that every man has a right to purchase food in those markets which he may conceive the most expedient. I believe the people also understand the principle of free trade, and justly consider that taxes should be imposed for her Majesty's revenue; and not to fill the pockets of protectionists.—(Hear, bear.) It must be equally clear that the revenue must suffer if the principle of excluding articles produced in another country be universally adopted. For instance, in the case of wheat. When there are 18,000.000 quarters produced at home, and but 2,000,000 imported, it puts 5,000,0001. in the pockets of the landlords, averag ing the duty at ss. per quarter.—(Hear, hear.) It is from a knowledge of the injustice of these laws, that we complain of their existence.—(Hear, hear.) I think that the people of England have a full right to ask, and not accept less than, the total repeal of these corn-laws, which have pressed so heavily on the happiness and in dustry of the community.—(Loud cheers.) There is no doubt that there is a great political crisis at hand, but I have too great confidence in the good sense of the people of this country to he apprehen siVe of the result; and Sir Robert Peel may rely on the support of the liberal Members in the House, if any mea sure he may propose on this subject be a good measure. But I trust that there will be no mutilation of the prin ciple we advocate, and that we shall obtain, not a half, but the whole, of what we require. —(Hear, and cheers.) With this opinion, I feel satisfied that we may look for ward with the utmost confidence that these laws will be shortly swept from the statute-book.—(Great cheering.) I now appeal to the good sense of the meeting, to give every gentleman who may think fit to address you a full and patient hearing; and I rely on you to support me in the place which you have done me the honour to assign me.—(Cheers.) Mr. M. GIBBON said it was with much satisfaction that he came to their meeting that night.—(Hear.) He was no stranger to them, but a resident in Westminster, and an elector of their borough—(hear)—therefore he felt great pleasure in having the honour to propose a resolu tion for their adoption, which he would read to them. [The resolution was to the effect that it was proved, by undoubted evidence. that several millions of the agricul- tural population in Ireland, as well as in parts of Great Britain, were fed chiefly on potatoes; that it was obvious, when a thousand persons were added daily to their popu lation, that an increase of employment was demanded, and that the corn-laws had failed to accomplish that ob ject.]—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the first part of the resolution, they did not require the authority of Dr. Marsham for the fact, nor did it admit of argument or discussion to demonstrate, that population was increasing every day, for it was established by census that the population did increase at the rate of a thousand a day. Some time back there was an eminent man, who had devoted himself to these matters, who stated that population did not increase. —(A laugh.) But now that matter was set at rest. With respect to the second part of the resolution, it was ascertained that a great p or ti on of the people, in England as well as Ireland, were living on potatoes. He did not mean to assert that the corn laws were solely instrumental in producirg these evils, and reducing the country to the melancholy condition in which they found it.—(Hear.) They did not say that other causes might not have had a considerable effect in inducing these deplorable results ,• but they did say that the corn-laws greatly aggravated those evils, and were of themselves calculated to create them.—(Hear, hear.) ney saw luso vim. 5 .-4- ment on their civil rights. It must be obvious that the first of all right was, that a man should be entitled to the rewards and profits of his oven industry.—(Cheers.) They denied that any por tion of their fellow-countrymen had a right to dictate the conditions under which their industry should be carried on.—(Hear, hear.) They denied their right to measure out the trade of their fellow-countrymen, or to interfere with the efforts of the loom more than those of the plough.—(Hear, and cheers.) He trusted the time was come when Englishmen would throw off the yoke of dukes and other noblemen. As he had men tioned noblemen, he thought it right to Say there were noblemen and other landed proprietors among the aris tocracy who were their firmest friends and most distin guished ady.ocates. And among them were many who hsd been distinguished for the improvement they had made in agriculture.—(Heaf, and cheers.) For instance, there were Lord Spencer and Lord Leicester, These two noblemen were the most strenuous advocates of the cause dr free trade,—(Hear, hear.) And it was im portant that many agriculturists had separated them selves from their own class, and put themselves forward as the advocates of their cause.—(Hear, hear.) It showed that these men considered that their cause tended to the promotion of good agriculture. Who was It among the aristocracy and landed proprietors that were opposed to their principles ? Why the most mortgaged latalorsners in the country—(hear)—men who dreaded the least reduction in their rents, because there was but a small difference between their rental and the amount of their mortgages.—(Hear, hear.) They were not told now, certainly, anything in Parliament about these mortgages, Sir Edward Knatchbull had ventured on that dangerous ground ; and a friend of his had said that that gentleman's arguments were perilous, but his ex planations ruinous; and they might recollect that he had entered on some of these explanations.—(aear, hear.) rrhe . ;' , ' new heard nothing abou. the peculiar taxes on the land. And after hcarinis all that was advanced in the Houses and elseeshere, he could never perceive those burdens. It was a surprise that at come of those protection dinners there was no mention of the peculiar exemptions of the agriculturist. There was nothing said, in 17, Old Bond-street, about these exemptions There Was nothing said about the window-tax, and how the viitaloOs of a farm-house were free of that tax, while those of a shop were obliged to bear it—(lean) There was no allusion to the fact that bat few farmers paid the income-tax. It proved that a man in the country with 3001. a-year was put in a very different position from the shopkeeper. The agriculturist was exempted also from legacy atid probate duty, but of this there was no men tion made in 11, Old Bond-street. While the property of the working classes is subjected to this very heavy tai, could they explain why the land of the Duke of Richmond and the Duke of Buckingham should pass free ? Would they but explain this ? More serious and aggravated injuries the country had not received than those inflicted by the hands of the protectionists. No doubt freedom from taxation was meant to benefit only the landed interest. It found ,ts way into the pockets of the landlords in the shape of rent. The farmer might be deluded with the faith that his rent was by so much reduced ; it might sect so but at some future day he was un deceived by the demand made upon him by his Lord ship's agent. The corn-last was no advantage to the farmer. He (Mr. Gibson) could testify this the more confidently, having lately been in an agricultural dis trict where he had abundant intercourse with farmers ; and he could state that they were taking their farms under the impression that the corn-laws were to be im mediately repealed. He knew nume rous instances where they had taken leases , discarding the cornaw a ltogether from their calculati ons ; for what f o rmed the basis of their expectations and the element of their cal culations was their own capital, and their own skill, and not this abusive system of legislation.—(Cheers.) He believed that the agricultural interest, and the farmer's condition would have been vr much better if the corn laws had never passed ; and lie believed that they them selves were convinced of this, for he had spoken to many tenant-farmers, who had expressed themselves as though they had had a conviction at variance with their words. They went to their protection meetings, but what were these ? Private meetings, into which no one was ad 'ited but whose o p inions exactl y tallied with the rms. -nd, all alone, the reporter for the Morning Post. gYst"i' titer.) The farmer attended as a matter o — f ( c G c r ir e s a e t , l2ll H g ; wa told Lord this and Duke tha . would d be a very fine meeting and u. be there, that there wot, good dinner, or a good botti.: of port at the collation, and he went, although the object f the meeting did not have his support, and although he tell them that the corn-laws had not done him one t • an Ling of goo Ct. The Morning Post had said that the question tr.. - 7 re met upcn was not of money, but of supremacy. He Gibson) said the same ; it was a struggle against feudal oppression ' a struggle between the middle and the upper , classes, and the repeal of the corn-laws would be bu t a step towards the destruction of whatever existed of Legislative abuse.—(lmmense cheering.) They had no need to inquire anxiously what any man might pro pose. The Anti-Corn-law League had always lera'aed on its own friends, had always trusted to its own coun sel:3, had always offered its own terms.. It had not de layed the cause to see what this party-leader or that party-leader meant to propose. It had gone strai.ght on towards the aim which it had itself set up. They ; might, however, at a moment like the present, specu late on what were the intentions of the Government. Sir l4obert Peel was still preserving dead silence—the Mi nisterial dinners were still delayed—perhaps they were to be put off altogether—if not, they would be ill at tended, for his usual supporters were nearly all put off their feet.—(Laughter and cheers.) Considering the ex pression that had been given to opinion throughout the country, he (Mr. Gibson) could not think it probable that Sir Robert would propose anything short of repeal. He 'you'd have to satisfy the north of England, and he (Mr. Gibson) believed that the men of the north of Eng land were determined to carry the question by a total abolition. They had not taken it up as a question of party ; they cared not for this man or that man being in power ; they made it no party watchword. No ; they had en tered the struggle with an object before them, and they meant not to cease from their efforts till they carried the entire abolition of these laws.—(Great cheering.) If he could read the future by the past, he believed that the man of Westminster were determined to carry that mea sure to a final issue ; and that the glories of old West minster would be revived by their conduct in the struggle,—{Hearty and long-continued cheering.) What more proper than that one of the largest boroughs in she kingdom should be forward in the fight ? And when the wealth of the north was united to the working and energetje stability of the metropolis, they might confidently expect to triumph. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid grea: cheering. Sir DE LACY EVANS, 0.7 coming forward to second the resolution, was warmly gees :et-1 by the meeting. When the cheering had ceased, he he trusted: need not assure them of the sincere plassare he felt on that occasion among so many well known faces .met together on One of the most important questions that had ever interested the constituency of Westminster. He :of.' gratulated them on having Ole presence and the aid, that evening, of a most energetic and able representative of a most energetic constituency. After his statements, and these made to the meeting by their worthy Chairman, she had but a few things more to add in illustration of the motion which had been put into his hand. Mr. Gibs - on had stated, that scarcely a session had passes but some immunity was conceded to the agriculturist. That reminded him of a fact in point. Some time ago many agricultural labourers were unemployed, and in a state of destitution. In Parliament they had been urged to relieve them, that triey might be prevented from dying through famine. Only last session, accordingly, an Act was passed for erecting asylums for the casual and the passing poor. But it was well known that in the metropolis they had abund ance of asylums supported by voluntary contri butions, and, therefore, those to be erected were clearly for the agriceitoral portion of the community. He h id no doubt that the corn-laws produced the effects named in the resolution, for they had increased the price of provisons, while no addition had been made to the reward of industry. Their effect was felt in an other way. There were, he said, 100,000 absentee families on the Continent, whose income might be averaged at 3001. a-year, making thirty millions an nually. On account of high prices, thirty millions annually were spent out of the country, from which neither their countrymen nor the revenue of the Govern ment derived any advantage. For thirty years the corn laws had been in operation, but it was seen that they had spoiled the tenant-farmer and the agricultural labourer. As for commerce, and the effect they had on that, instances were brought forward in both Houses ; but in both Houses the supporters of the monopo lists could drown reason by their numerical votes, The Gallant Officer then spoke of the calamity that had befallen the country through the failure of the potatoes. He said, what might be the state of the portion of the crop yet unexamined would not be known for four months to come ; but, during that time, what was the Government to do for the poor ? In other countries the evil had been felt—in France and Belgium, and by their neighbours—but there measures had been immediately adopted, and their ports had been thrown open to foreign corn with the very best effect to the inhabitants. The Minister had been no doubt exerting himself, and had thereby come into collision with his colleagues in the Cabinet. He had lost power, and had again come into power. From Peel they had more reason to expect the measure they wished than from the Whigs, had they come into office, for many of them were but young in the cause. For fifteen years past he had been wont to assist on various questions in that room ; on every one of them they had won triumphs in the cause of freedom; and on this, with the aid of Westminster, they might count on victory. The resolution was then read by the Chairman and put to the meeting, when it was carried unanimously, with one solitary exception. Dr. Boweiso then came forward to move the second resolution, and was received with great cheering. He said he felt himself honoured in having a resolution com mitted to his hands. He had often met them in that room, and as often had their exertions influenced the Senate and modified their laws. They had met that night on a subject that had engaged all their minds. What they had demanded in reference to the corn-laws. when they were weak, they would demand when they were strong. They would demand no less, tnea e sesta aemand no mores — The -- total, ine immediate, the absolute abolition of these laws. As for the Prime Minister, he said he recollected when Sir Robert Peel was shaping his future course, he spoke of posthumous fame. The speaker believed he valued it ; tbey knew, that even among the angels, " there was joy over one sinner that repenteth. (Laughter.) He hoped the Hon. Baronet would not sacrifice principles which he inwardly held, and fame which he valued, to present power and to place. The speaker then proceeded to dilate with great eloquence on the growth of the Anti-corn-Law move ment, and on the present condition of the opposing parties. " The people," said he, " were inclined to for get and forgive the past, to forgive the wrongs and the robberies that the monopolists had committed upon them, and the latter had better take them in their present mind. But the books were to be closed, once for all. If these were opened, the other party would find that all stood against themselves—everything in favour of the people. And the people in that case, instead of giving them a release, an honest discharge, would demand in addition to re peal—which was always their right—the immense amount of what they had been despoiled. The eloquent gentleman then retired amid great cheer ing, having first moved the following resolution :—" Re solved,—That the operation of the corn-laws is to raise the price to the consumers; preventing the exchange of manufactures and other productions for corn ; throwing operative; and labourers out of employment ; diminish ing the wages of the employed by overstocking the labour market, and thus becoming the source of bitter divisions among c lasses—the cause of penury, fever, the people—and mortality, arid crime anS2ng threaten ing, if continued, to reduce the labourinF , classes of the people to the most abject stat e of misery." Sir CHARLES NAPIER rose Amlti:t the most enthu siastic cheering. tie said that he felt tj:lite astonished at the manner in which that meeting had thorn ht proper to receive him that evening. He believed it Was the second occasion on which he had the honour to appea: at the Crown and Anchor, at a meeting of the inhabitants of Westminster. The first occasion was when he came to support his friend Sir De Lacy Evans, when he stood for Westminster, who had been the first to fire the signal of repeal in the Tory camp. He was sorry to say that he (Sir De Lacy Evans) did not then occupy hi; seat in the House of Commons, and he hoped that an opportunity would soon occur of returning him. (A voice, "We don't mean to have Leader any more.") He did not think himself worthy of addressing that meeting, as he had only very lately become a total re pealer, and had originally thought that a fixed duty John better than total abolition. The letter of Lord d t t Russell had, however , thro wn his notion of thew% d u i t o the winds, and he believed that nothing but to l ta r_epeal one .)f• wou ld serve this country. The y were al opinion with regard to the Anti-Corn-law League, and why should they not have the principles it inculcated ? They should thank the protectionists for the arguments they (the protectionists) furnished against themselves ; for if they would read the speeches that were reported in the public papers, they would find a good deal of absurdity. Let theta refer to the meet ing at Chichester, where it was said that it was singular the people Should complain and be discontented, as if the potatoes were bad, a greater number had been sown that year; and if the people wanted corn, there were two millions of quarters ready to co me into the country. The Duke of Rutla nd h ad said that he relished a otat ' o . P very much — (laughter) — and so did he (Sir C. Napier) relish one; but the Duke of Rutland would be enabled to indulge his relish when the poor people would not be a ble to get a potato. After the Duke of Rutland came another Duke, who recommended to the poor people when they are going to bed to take a pinch of curry powder to keep their bellies warm. He had been a long time at sea, but it had never struck him, on stormy nights, to use curry-powder to keep his sailors from cold. His Friend the Hon. Member for Manchester had spoken of Sir Edward linatchbull, who had said, that in the case of the abolition of the corn-laws, what was to be come of their widows' portions? He (Sir C. Napier) would venture to say, that if the corn-laws were repealed, the friends of he League would be ready to subscribe to portion their widows and children.—(Hear.) Another gentleman said that it was folly to speak of the abolition of the corn-laws, as the country gentlemen would be unable to maintain their stations in the country. What was their station, end what were their conditions? They kept castles—they kept hunters—they went to Newmarket, and they lost thousands of pounds—all of which they would be obliged to give up if the corn-laws were abolished. He was in the country the other day at a gentleman's seat, and it took him nearly a whole day to ride over the grounds. It was the gentleman's property, and a man might do as he liked with his owe, but he should not let the people of this country go short of food in order to keep up high rs ots. The lower classes were only lately beginning to fi n d ,! - heir strength. The country labourers had begun to hold, meetings, and they had found that a duty on bread did not. assist to make them comfortable, e late 'meting at Goatacre was an example w ß h o i b c c h a rt n w d p oul ld be followed throughout the land. If Sir did not abolish the duties on corn, .he .wto.uldHbee(sinirthce. situation of his late friend the preohtnedettlaokn:!nacerta n p _ ece Napier) w as a farmer himself. " 0 cres.

The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who havo advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is fbunded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field fbr the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight , the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages it holds out, the following are not the least: To the Shipowner, the certainty 9f obtaining, At a moderate rate, and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance When he inset requires it. The opportunity of reltering himself froth niatgages beartag an exorbitant interest, and effecting thtni With the Association at an equitable rats. • To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building fir the market, either at home or in our cololf,es, by placing him in a position lees dependent upon imm er . .. ate sale at an unfavourable season. To both, n 'Fsrticipation in the profits of the Association by be shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary t— - - The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these tyro sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading outports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine insurance-office. The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be had :—Wm. Cafferata, Esq., Exchange-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs. Flint and Tootal, Dull ; Messrs. Drewry and Richardson, Newcastle-on• Tyne ; Robert W. Ogilvie, Esq., Newcastle-on-Tyne; W. J.

Hughson And Dobson, Edinburgh. / ~ land, and had before been given overbj; -- many gentlemen, as it was always inundated with water, and possessed no comfort or accommodation for either men or animals. It was divided into about six fields. As he took it with the view of knowing something about agriculture, he tried to get a ploughman to plough the land, but' found it quite impossible to do so, as not a man would gxa out of his usually beaten track ; in fact. the only difference between the man who followed the plough and the horse who drew it, was that the horses went before the plough and the man followed, as he possessed sufficient ine nuity to guide it. At the end of his first year's posses sion he found himself 2004 out of pocket, by way of an encouragement to his farming. Ile at length got an old working man, whose name he would give to the meeting —his name was Sparks—who, having a few acres of land, tilled them himself. lie had no capital, no talent—but one pony and his wife.—(Laughter.) That man dis covered what was the fault of his own land—it was full of water. He first began with a small portion of it— about an acre—and drained it ; and, by perseverance, he at last got about half of his land to rights. lie spoke to him, and remarked how well he got the water off his land, and what crops he had made grow there, and was informed that by this means he had produced a crop of oats of eight quarters to the acre. lie took the advice of this man, and with his assistance he got his 40 acres in a pretty pod state. The second year of his possession he only lost 451. ; the third year the amount on both sides was square, and now, at the end of the fourth year, he was 1001. in pocket. He went to Scotland last year, and he there saw lands cultivated, with an unfavourable climate, which put them three weeks later than the lands in this country. And yet they grew as fine crops as could be seen in England ; so much se, that the farmers did not care a straw about the corn-laws. Why should not the landlords of this country, instead of making long speeches to their tenants, give them long leases, and give them or sell them draining tiles—they might easily manage so as to have the price of the tiles repaid to them. If such things were done, this country could be made an exporting, instead of an importing one. In 18:31, Lord John Russell saw the impossibility of carrying on the corn-laws, and he therefore proposed to give a fixed duty of Bs. per quarter. Tne protectionists refused to have it, and turned him out of office, and since that time they had been struggling to maintain the protection system ; but the last year of that system was come. The protectionists had better have taken that offer when they got it, for he hoped to see a total repeal of the corn• laws this ses sio:n, without any further taxation put on the people to compensate themselves for what they had been robbing the p co p,'e of these last forty-five years, and the state of the couCtry would then be an example to the world, - instead of a ,liegrace to it.—(Hear, hear.) Th e secon d ,:estmucioil - lia. then put, and carried with only one dislentib:ht voice. The Hon. Mr. Boi.Tv ERIE said that any further ex pression of opinion on the subject, after what they had heard that night, would be uncalled for. They would readily agree to the resolution which he held in his hand, and which was, " That nainst legislative enactments which tax and impede the sui.`ply ot food, we most so lemnly protest; and as the corn-,laws havr produced the :earful calamities before enumera:ed, this meeting re spectfully, but firmly, calls upon Pa.rliattient „ for their total, unconditional, ° and immediate abolition." He had a few words to say with regard to the t,pposition that had been maintained against the progress (..`f the Anti- Corn-law League. The people who opposed it were not strong in numbers or in intelligence, but tuey were strong in wealth and station; they were " Proudly secure, Yet liable to fall by weakest subtlety;" they had strength, but were unable to use it ; and, like an unwieldy animal, fell a prey to others less strong but, more active. In a question like the present they could not expect to be unanimous, and, of course, some weak headed people opposed it—old women, as he called them, who were headed by the Morning Herald. That journal put him in mind of what he had seen in Somersetshire. When a cart had to go down a hill a donkey was tied behind, and the animal, of course, not feeling inclined to descend resisted violently, and hindered the cart from going too quick, and so the opposition of the Herald only retarded for a time the cause whose safety it thus secured_ more effectually. They read in history that the Doctors of the Sorbonne, in Paris, had decided that the teaching of the Greek and Latin languages tended to subvert Christianity, but the event did not prove it so. So the protectionists thought that the corn-laws' abolition would injure them, but it would in a short time do them good. He would no longer occupy their time, but would pro pose the resolution lie had read. Mr. HEALEY, in a very able speech, seconded the re solution, which was then put to a show of hands, and carried unanimously. Mr. DEESING proposed " That the following petition be presented to the House of Commons, and that Mr. El phinstone be requested to present the same?' Mr. WALKER seconded the resolution. The petition was then read, and the motion carried nein, COP. A call was then made for Mr. George Thompson, who came forward and addressed the meeting in a speech of very great length, inculcating the necessity of holding out, without compromise, for the total and unconditional abo lition of the corn-laws, and commenting on their demo ralising effect or the people. At the conclusioti of his speech, Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated at half-past ten o'clock.

It is:affirmed that the Baron's de parture is deferred on account of important matters which will shortly come before the Diet, the Government, it is said, being resolved at the openingl of the assembly of the Estates to declare itself respecting the question of the suc cession, and to the relative; situations of the Duchies and the kingdom.
