TOASTS No. 16,656. mittee in thus calling you together on this occasion.—•. (Hear, hear.) But first I must say a few words in ac knowledgment of the high honour you have done me in presiding over such a respectable assemblage. I ens quite aware that in filling this situation I cannot din c , argo its duties so well or so t ffctivsly as the Hon. Gentleman who presided at the last meeting, ard whose n .me stood as President of the Society during the past year.—(Cheers.) Nothing would have induced me to accept the position I now fill, excepting to confute the b:•oad assertion that had emanated from many quarters, that the landlords did not participate with the tenant farmers in their desire to preserve protection to agricul ture. On the contrary, I am happy to be able to say that gentlemen of every political party, and of all shades of opinion, are resolved to do their utmost to support and advocate the objects for which we are this day met.— (Cheers.) And now to these objects. This, you are all aware, is a singularly interesting crisis. We have had one Ministry dissolved, and an unusual difficulty in the formation of another ; and no sooner is that estab lished than it crumbles to pieces. The late Ministry was the same which passed the present corn-law, and I repeat that when they went out an attempt was made to construct another Administration, the leading principle of which was to be the total, immediate, and uncon ditional repeal of everything like protection to agricul ture.—(Hear, hear.) Standing, as I do, be fore gentle• men every way better acquainted with the subject than I am, I shall not enter into any detailed statement of the right of agriculture to protection ; but I may be in du!ged while making one or two observations. These rights appear to me to be of a twofold character ; &at, the special burdens thrown upon the land demand that some protection should be extended to the produce of that land in the same way that protection is given to every trade in the coun try—(Hear, bear)—and, therefore, I contend that those who demand, open-mouthed, a repeal of those protec tive duties, demand that which is essentially and rnani featly unjust to a large and important body of her Majesty's subjects.—(Hear, hear.) Leaving out of con sideratien all questions of politics, let us look only at this practical view of the case, namely, the passibility of supplying Great Britain with food from other countries —of, in fact, doing away with home-grown crops alto gether, and looking at the magnitude of the evils which would follow from so pernicious a course. I think the Committee were quite justified in calling the Society together. lam one of those who will not acknowledge that the present amount of protection is all that agricul turists have a right to demand; but lam also prepared to be contented with it if left alone.—(Hear.) But now the matter has assumed a different complexion. It is assorted that protection duties have failed in the object they were originally intended to further, and some begin to see in the dim vista of futurity a total abrogation of these laws. I remember, and you may remember, that it is only two years since I had the felicity to announce to a meet ing held in this place that that able man and great Minister, Sir Robert Peel, did not cort-mplate any alteration in the corn-laws, which he stated had been passed for the protection of our just claims. I then repeated the very words he made use of in his place in the House of Commons on the previous day; and, look ing around me now, I cannot see anything which could have induced him to chanee that (as we thought) settled opinion. --(Hear, hear.) I cannot find any important increase in the price of food; in fact, I believe, if any thing, that wheat is lower at this time than it was when that memorable declared( n was made, and we are aware that there is no want of employment in the ma nufacturing districts. I confess I can see no reason why a man of Sir Robert Peel's great abilities should change his opinions, t nd adopt, as he is reported to have done, convictions diametrically opposed to those he held formerly. I hope, and think lam right in assert ing to the meeting, that no such changes are intended. I therefore beg of you to wait until we have some posi tive proof that it is his intention to do that which is re ported of him, before we give effect to that manifesta tion which must follow this forgetfulness of all his pledged opinions. —(Cheers.) I know of only one reason which could have brought about this opinion, and that is fear—fear which is felt by others who look to the preservation of the integrity of our Constitution, as the salvation of the country.—(Hear, hear.) They were alarmed at the proceedings of an association which made fearful encroachments on the free exercise of their rights as British subjects. It will doubtless be the duty of Government, under these circumstances, to put a stop to the proceedings of a body calling itself the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Cheers.) But I shall not make this a subject of discussion, although I am ready to say that I shall be among the first to petition Parliament to put a stop to practices calculated to be subversive of all good government.—(Cheers.) You are aware that the proposed measures of the Anti- Corn-law League are in the last degree subversive of your interests.—(Hear, hear.) You are aware that in one day not less than thirty-five thousand objections to the voters for the county of Lancashire and Stafford shire, had been raised, and as many of those gentlemen did not attend to defend their qualifications, they were of course lost to them. These two counties may there fore effectually be said to be deprived of their franchise. —(Hear.) Whatever may be the political feeling of parties, all right-minded men must agree in this, that such a course is inimical to all the rights so dear to Eng lishmen. Was it not monstrous that 'a body of men should come forward to deprive a vast majority of the electors of their just rights and privileges ?—(Cheers.) I am happy to observe this unanimity among you, and I think that the series of resolutions to be proposed will ri-cc ive your cordial and unanimous assent, and I espe cially beg of you to bear in mind that if the Anti-Corn law League be allowed to pursue their present iniquitous course, you will all be deprived of that protection tee agriculture to which the peculiar burdens on the land justly entitle you.—(Cheers.) The Earl of ESSEX rose to propose the first resolution, and said that it was a matter of congratulation to see assembled so large and so respectable a meeting, com posed as it was of the most influential landlords and farmers of Hertfordshire.—(Cheers.) He remembered with great pleasure the formation of that society some two years before, when a movement similar in character to the present prevailed over the length and width of Great Britain— (Hear, hear)—and when men, from a principle of self-preservation, rose to secure that pro tection which was e-sential to the British farmer. Their demonstration had had the effect of confining the League to those manufacturing counties who thought with them, and he thanked God that they were no longer annoyed by itinerant orators, who sowed the seeds of discontent and anarchy wherever they came, and made extravagant promises. The true object of the society then present was certainly to obtain a moderate protection to agriculture, but judging from the censure thrown on Sir R. Peel by a portion of the public press, they might, he was afraid, be considered to have failed in that object. On the last time he had the honour of addressing them on this subject, he had pointed out the dangers that would result from an im mediate and total repeal of the corn-laws. He had pointed out the protection given to many articles of British manufacture, and that it would be utterly impos sible for the farmers of that country to compete with the farmers of the Continent in the production of wheat, if the protection duties were not allowed them. He showed that if protection were done away with, the tenant farmers would, from a state of comparative opulence, be reduced to destitution and distress.—(Hear, hear.) It was well known that three-fourths of the landlords lived upon their properties, and spent their incomes in reliev ing their poorer neighbours—(Hear)—but they could not do this if their present position was destroyed, and the the farmers liveße austyuh the e n r. t e h a e r i ( Lord r . result would be that they would cease to werew in t g he to ye th rl e . estates at all. Why, if they asked a farmer now why the did not keep stock, li a e n d would tht,e x r rp e e p enr i e,orci.ehedaot fo E un ss fi e tzs c s o ou could d t i h n e foc s ra o mt i t l he eth. e Cmllrfwstletnilhintdht:i with last n ddl gat Indian o de lands corn, linseed, of f es N t o to rfo r l e k ar an sh d e L e ing of horned and lentiles, were imported from abroad, they could have of green stuff to rear their cattle on, and the consumption of sheep during year, would suffici ttethomnbeetotlhyra more than amount present snhuudaubinjet eaodet afoet s. us sheep lhenoe p e i emnpeoteic increasing n rcuep a rcind b euda i the present year, the o yl i a m st portance of attending tha g t while in the last year, numberrte imported was imported only r t e l d 0 8 w ; t a l s i a t I during , and with all this food was one shilling a stone higher than in the former year. He did not think that the meeting would be justified in withdrawing its sup port and confidence from Sir R. Peel until accurate in formation was given to the world that it was his inten tion to bring forward a measure for the complete and total repeal of the corn-laws.----(Hear, hear.) But let him ever hear that it was his intention to do away with the present corn-law, and humble as he was, and poor as his ability might be, Sir H. Peel would not have in either House of Parliament an opponent more unflinch ing, consistent, and determined than he.—(Great cheer ing.) He would, with great pleasure, move the following resolution—" That the accession of a new Administration to office since the notice of this meeting makes it de sirable to abstain from proposing any specific resolution as to the rights of agriculture until some further indica tion is given of the measures supposed to be contem plated by the Government." Mr. G. ROBERTS seconded the resolution. lie com mented on a speech of Mr. Ward's, lately delivered, in which that Hon. Gentlemen ridiculed the notion of keep. ing up the price of corn at 80s. a quarter, as was pro. mised by the law of 1815. The deduction the speaker drew from this fact was, that the corn-laws were a boon to the consumers, inasmuch as they obtained their corn 20 to 100 per cent. cheaper than they had been led to expect. He warned them against bartering away their protection for anything called an equivalent. They should stand firm, and not give up a jot of their present rights.—(Cheers.) Lord Dauax then proposed the second resolution— " That whilst this m e eting d e pend s with implicit}t and unabated confidence upon the justice of l'aTliawer in terests of this country, it cannot contemplate the maintenaw e of the rights of theagricultural difference the combinations of interested tnoilv i professed object i s to at.i.th nab?, in of vast money power, whose P • of Parliament, and whose leaders have given daring pub licitycontrolfreebeinglegal to their intentions to undermine . and control the freedom of election.

He was decidedly opposed to the course now pursued by the Anti-Corn-lawLeague in the purchase of tarty-shilling freehold qualifications.

For this purpose a warrant has been issued for his apprehension, and police-constables followed him to France. The informations were sworn in the College-street, Police-office, but their precise contents, and all the circumstances attendant upon this most heart rending case, must for the present remain unrevealed.— Saunder's News Letter.

PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE. MEETING AT COICHESTER. Yesterday the second of-a series " agricultural meet ines in favour of " proteetion, i ' ;In be held in the county of Sussex, took place in the Coin Exchange, at which nearly 2,000 persons were present, !tlt the great majority of them were , agricultural labourers, who were influenced to attend. The Hon. and Rev. L. liA.ReotrßT presided, and, in o! ening t an ep t r i o_ n e a e t e i d o i n n a g l s : condemned the Anti-Cor n -la w league and the co urse pursded by its membe rs , as uncon stitutional,and most injurious to the best interests of the working peopl e of this country, whether agricultural or manufacturing labourers, the object being to r duce wages for the profit of masters. It was there fore necessary that all who wished their industry to be protected should unite, particularly those who were em ployed and interested in agriculture. If they did unite hew Ministry Secretary longc r e y d r t e h ad a i t i o neither r!en reins of powere o n g present Il oru unless s o t t h h e e; did full justi ce to t h e agricultural body.—(Cheers,) The for absence, among which was one from thwtarl of March, M.P. ; it might, indeed, be called an essay, in which his Lordship argued at considerable length against the repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. PRIME (a magistrate) proposed the first resolu tion. He said that there never•was a time that agricul turists should bestir themielves more than at present, seeing that the head of the Whig party had declared himself in favour of free trade, and that the head of the party in power seemed disposed to follow that ex ample. He believed, that unless the agriculturists were firm, they would be sacrificed in the next session of Parliament to the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Cheers and hisses.) The history of this country, from the time of Edward IV. downward, showed that it had ever been the policy of its Governneent to e meteet its home agr i. cultural..sa zudeveby sleaMsetileteit'lfie itsitiorttee lion of foreign corn ; and those persons who were for the unrestricted insportatiem of foreign corn were advo cates of an untried system, which our ancestors, in their wisdom, never would adopt, but whose policy in this matter had raised this country to a height of wealth and prosperity never surpassed, if equalled, by any nation of the world.—(Hear, hear.) The state of Germany and _France showed what was the effect of a low price of bread—low wages. There. no tithe nor poor-rate was paid ; consequently, were the corn-laws repealed, wages here must gradually come down to the same level, not only for agricultural, but for manufacturing employment. That eminent statesman who had represented that borough (Mr. Huskisson) once expressed great doubt whether it would be politic to make this nation depend ent on foreigners for the first necessary of life. In times of scarcity unfriendly nations might stop the supplies, and reduce us to a state of famine, or very little short of it ; and the evil would be greatly aggravated in time of war. No more time, then, was to be lost ; they should be up and doing. But, whatever demonstration might be made in that or other counties, the main bat tle must be fought on the floor of the House of Com mons, and he advised them to take care that their repre sentatives went prepared to do their duty.—(Cheers and laughter.) He was hostile in general to exacting pledges, but under existing circumstances to demand a pledge upon this subject was not only excusable, but absolutely requisite. They must ask their repi esenta lives, " Will you maintain protection in its present posi tion, or will you yield step after step, until all is given up, though you would recoil at the idea of giving it up in a lump ?" There was still a powerful phalanx left in th e H ouse o f C ommons ; an d if the agriculturists would stand firm and advise their representatives to do the same, no doubt they would come out of the struggle prosperous and victorious.—(Cries of "No, no," and cheers.) He concluded by moving— " That the unprecedented position in which the owners and occupiers of land, and also labourers and others interested in the welfare of the country, are placed at the present moment, imperatively demands the most serious consideration, and, threatened as we are with the repeal of the corn-laws, it be hoves us to come forward and prevent so awful a calamity." Mr. STereeee seconded the resolution, which the Chairman put and declared to be carried unanimously. There was nevertheless a strong adverse party present, but they did not seem to think it worth while formally to oppose the res•ilutions. Capt. PI ertecTore proposed the second resolution : " That this meeting will strenuously endeavour by every constitutional means in its power to secure at the next ge-• neral election, and when any vacancy for a representative in Parliament may occur, the return of Members of Parliament who are well known to be friendly to agriculture and the landed interests of the country, and who will offer an inde pendent and unflinching opposition to any measures calcu lated to diminish the present amount of protection for do-, mestic industry." He was happy to say that.the popular clamour for free trade did not prevail in the county of Sussex, as it did in some of the manufacturing districts. The cul tivators of the soil—the British farmers—had been de nounced as wicked and un-Christian-like and grasping monopolists.—(A voice—" So they are." Confusion.) They had been teld that the landlords and farmers had been withholding from the Female the food wheals Pro vidence intended for them.—(Cries of " True, true," followed by cheers.) They were not monopolists. (A cry, " They are," and uproar.) The manufacturers who had amassed wealth, and the money-lenders, were the monopolists. The men who speculated in corn, and bought it up to sell at their own price, were monopolists; not the farmer, nor the landowner. They were obliged to pay rent, poor-rates, and tithes. (A voice, Take off the tithes, then;" hisses, and cheers.) And they were often compelled to sell at any price they could get; they were no monopolists. Could they show him a farmer who had made his fortune? No. (Cries of "Thousands, thousands!") No; he was an animal unknown.—(Laugh ter and cheers.) Were there such an one, Dr. Buckland would soon be down and geologize him; see what stratum he was made of, and send him up to the British Museum in a glass case.—(Roars of laughter.) The farmer, too, paid more than the manufacturer. Who paid for their religion, and provided for the sick and poor? The farmer and the landowner.—(A voice, " Who keeps the farmer?") The farmer was subject to every vicissi tude of weather, and when he spent his capital and labour could not for ete l what return he was to have, whereas the manufacturer and the artisan could. Therefore the farmer should be protected. Would they like to see the farmer and his men put to eat rye-bread and boiled beans, and live upon only 4d. a day?—(Cries of " Curry powder!" and fiance laughter.) The farmer's prosperity must be identical with their own. Rally round him, then, my dear fellows (said the gallant Captain), as you ever have done in the hour of need. Do not listen to his calumniators, who are seeking to deprive him of the means of paying your wages. Remember, you are part and parcel uf the fatherland which gave you birth. Mr. UPTON seconded the resolution, which was put by the Chairman, who pronounced it " carried unani mously," although a very few hands were held up, the great mass of the meeting not voting. Mr. J. BARTON moved the third resolution, which de clared that the existing protection to agriculture ought e be maintained, because it would prevent the ruin of s of tradesmen, labourers, artisans, and others, mainly dependent fur support on the agricultural interest of the country. Mr. E. WYATT seconded the motion, which was dis posed of like the preceding. On the mot on of Mr. W. NEWLAND, seconded by Mr. H. Dutee, petitions to her Ma / jesty, and the House of Lords, to be presented by the Duke of Richmond, and one to the House of Commons, to be presented by the Earl of March, were adopted. The Duke of RICHMOND, who was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and cries of " Salmon ! salmon!" said—Gentlemen, a bad cold will prevent me from trespassing long upon your attention; but I may, I hope, be permitted to say, that it will give me the greatest gratification to present at the foot of the throne the petition signed by so large and influential a body of the clergy, the owners and the occupiers of land, and the labourers of my native county.—(Cries of " Bravo!" and cheers.) A handbill has been put into my hand— (Hear, and a laugh)—some few moments since signed by " One of the Million," and it calls upon thelabourers here present to sign a petition for free trade, and not mind what the Duke tells them.—(Great laughter.) Now, gentlemen, I will go at once to that question, and I ask you whether you are more likely to believe in an anonymous signature of " One of the Million" than the individual who now stands before you, who has long a k I n w o n w y n s y f o e u l t , w t who has edee r p e e s s i t d ed amongst you, youro , and welfare?— e if who are ? Is _a s (Cheers.) I am happy to see amongst the honest labourers here assembled so many of those friends whom, as the chairman of a society for the encouragement of labourers, I have had the pleasure of meeting at dinner, and of giving prizes to for their honest and meritorious conduct.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, it has been said by some that we ought not at the present moment to move, because first we ought to wait till we hear what the plan of Sir R. Peel is. My opinion upon that is, if we wait unti! then it will be too late; it will b e like shut ting the door after the steed is stolen.—(Hear, hear.) We know that Sir R. Peel does intend to get rid of pro tection; whether graduallyeor not we know nut, but we know that he is going to do it.--(Hear, and cheers.) And why do we know it? I must call your attention to the facts of this case. Some fortnight or three weeks ago, after Lord J. Russell, the leader of the Whig party, proclaimed his anxiety to join the League, what does Sir R. Peel do? Because cue or two members of his and that upon office thes hustings, and every opinion expressed by th em d ur i ng Cabinet will not h v o io r la o t a e ign e a ve h r i y s p o l in ed ege: h their whole lives, to be filled up by the Queen, who sen d s f or L or d i J. Russell, who would have been able to form a Cabinet had it not been for disagreem nt amo ng some of his friends. Well, then, what did Sir R. Pe e l d o ? H e g ave up the reins of gov e rnment to the part y w h o b e knew would carry the immediate repeal of th e corn -l a wss_ (Cheers, and cries of "No, no. ') Well, t h en , I would say, I wish rather that he had done it himself.— (" Ay, so he will,") Well, then, if a man can be guilty of such treachery, for Heaven's sake let him come forward and avow it. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) What war it that he wanted at that moment? The repeal of the corn-laws. But he could not carry it, and therefore he threw up the Government, that it might come into the ) Tnat is conduct, i h n a n m d y s n o f pi L n ( i i n r n d , J. w ß o u r s t s h e y ll. o — f a C st h a e t e e r s s inan.—(Cries of " No, no,' and cheers.) In this handbill—(" Read, read,")-- it is said, "Sign for free trade, you will have more work, better pay, a nd better living.' Nsov. if you leok at the countries where corn is cheap they will show you I" An open foe may p rove a curse, But a pretended friend is worse." (Cheers and laughter.) They had that in Sir R. Peel, and the sooner they got rid of him and those that sup ported him the better.—(Cheers.) He was at a loss to know where Sir Robert Peel would take his seat in the House next session. The Radicals would have nothing to do with him. Cobden had said at the Covent-garden Parliament lately that no man of respectability and honour ought to speak to such a man. The Premier's own friends were disgusted with him. He (Lord W. Lennox) was in London during the Ministerial inter regnum, and he could assure the meeting that a Conser vative would be immediately recognised by the long face he pulled.—(A laugh.) " The greatest political scoun drel that ever existed," was a mild term to some that he heard applied to Sir R. Peel.—(Laughter, and cries of "Oh, oh 1") He thought they must have him on the floor of the House ; ar.d he recommended the agri culturists to send up an empty sack marked " English Agriculture," and tell Sir Robert to bolster himself up with full sacks from foreign ports. In conclusion, he would read to the meeting some lines written by a late president of an agricultural society, Sir John Sinclair : " Let this be held the farmer's creed, — For stock seek out the choicest breed, In peace and plenty let them feed. Your lands sown with the choicest seed ; Let it not dung nor dressing need ; Enclose and drain it with all speed, And you will soon be rich indeed." —(Great laughter.) To those lines he had added a few others : " Turn out Sir Robert with all speed. (Cheers and laughter.) His Cabinet from free trade weed. Don't trust to him—a broken reed, Who's faithless both in word and deed. Protection seek, and thus agreed, The farmers may be rich indeed." (Cheers and laughter, during which a voice added— " The worst of verses 1 ever zeed." and another— " The worst of readers I ever heard read.") As the Noble Duke quoted a part only of the hand bill which seemed to give him so much offence, it may be as well to give the whole of it:— " Labourers of Sussex,—A glorious power is this day put into your hands by your masters, who think by the show your numbers will make to keep up rents and 'high prices, and consequently keep you poor. Don't sign their papers, but, instead, petition for a free trade in everything, which will give you—whatever the Duke may tell you to the con trary—more work, better pay, and better living. You kncw you want this, and, having the example of strength shown you, try for it. Free trade, I say, and no curry powder. " ONE OF THE MILLION." A man who had been employed to distribute copies of this handbill amongst the crowd was seized by a person named Pasco near the door of the Corn-Exchange, roughly handled, and kicked out; hut it i said that the matter will not end there, as the friends of the bill-dis tributor, who, it appears, made no noise, nor interfered with the proceedings, are determined that proper pro ceedings shall be taken to bring the perpetrator of the assault to justice. On the motion of the Duke of Richmond, a vote of thanks was presented to the Chairman for his services. This was followed by three cheers for the Duke of Rich mond, in which was intermingled an unwelcome alloy of hisses and groans ; and to Sir R. Peel was paid the ugly compliment of three groa ns by th e l a ndlords and their smock-frocked followers. So pleasant an exhibition, however, could not be allowed to close by those who gotalmost it up without the addition with which many other equally ridiculous affairs terminate--a display of _ fire works. Two of the lowest ruffians ineChpilco_hyeesdtebry one e e 0 0 f f them known at Petworth—had been m the Duke's political dirty-work-men , t he aforesaid Pasco, to bring in and parade before the hustings, just as th e acopy proceedings were about to end, of the Times np h h e m displayent, and of cried the newspaper, at which the Duk es toadies on the platfor m looked with ill-disguiseds,lEo "Takebroad it away ! Down with it r sheet would have been little understood by the majority of the multitude had it not been for some strips of paper pasted thereor, upon which strips wa s pr i nted its title, ) " The Tunes, " in large capitale. Upon the name being generally recognis e d so many complime n t ar y c h eers wer e given that the chawb acons who surrounded the frarnevvorlc to whicl. it was fastened looked inquiringly at their fu,glernen and paymasters on the hustings for the signal which should direct the next part of the performance. This was soon telegraphed, and the paper was instantaneously set on lire and consumed, the Noble hike and his friends f, asting their eyes in silence on the flame, which spared the frame-work, or gallows, as it was termed, to which the paper had been affixed ; a ghastly symbol of the fate which may attend those who follow up this public and authoritative lesson in incen diarism. The landowners and occupiers, one would think,had already experienced enough of the consequence of their labourers learning the use of pocket lucifer- I matches without the further instruction and encourage ment afforded to them by this glaring act of folly. We have good authority for stating that the majority of the citi ztris of Chichester regard this as a most contemptible proceeding, and the meeting itself as an insult, as the Duke of Richmond and his friends well know that they do not agree with their opinions on th e corn -l aw , b u t particularly because a large number of agricultural labourers were hired to attend the meeting, and to cheer and bawl at command. Some of them were all:Avoid the i what will come to you. In those countries, as you have been told already, the labourers are worse off than la bourers in any other part of the world; they are worse fed, clothed, and housed. Some time since an Irish la bourer came to London, and with his only sixpence went to purchase some eggs. The shopkeeper gave him four. " Why," exclaimed he, " I could have a dozen for that money in the county of Mayo." " Then," asked the shopman, why did you not stay there ?" " Why," said the Irishman, " because I could not get the 6d. to purchase the eggs with."—(Loud laughter, and cries of "That's new, where did he get the 6d. then?") Now, you will observe, that is exactly what, in my humble opinion,,will be the case of the labourers of England, and more particularly of the agricultural labourers. Gentlemen, you know well, for many of yeti were em ployed upon our poorer soils in this neighbourhood, that it is impossible for us to keep that land in cultivation, if we get only 9/. a load for our wheat. But that land would be thrown out of cultivation ; and I would ask auy labourer here a hether the most distressing situation in which he could be placed could be worse than this—that when you are ready to maintain by the sweat of your brow your wives and children, you would be answered thus, " man, I am sorry for you, but no work can I give you, be cause I cannot afford to employ you." Would you not then be in the same situation as the Irish labourer ? What is the use of bread at 6d. a loaf if you have not the 6d. to buy it with ?—(Hear, hear.) I am one of those who have ever expressed views of the deepest com enisseration for the labourers of this country ; and there fore, I ask you, gentlemen, to come forward and support those whom you know to be your firmest and fastest Friends.—(" Cheers" at command.) I ask you not to compromise this great question, because if we once seek to compromise it we get rid .f the principle altogether. I ask you also to remember that in the event of war with foreign eolintr", - if we gr6w neitiliter nittelt,wheet as is necessary for the consumption of our own people, whether France, Germany, Russia, or Poland, will not be able to defeat us, not on the plains of Blenheim and Waterloo, nor in the actions of Trafalgar and the Nile, but in the task of providing food for our people ? Gentle men, I can only tell you that in presentingyour petition I shall be happy to express to her Majesty the deep value I entertain for the yeomanry and labourers of England, and to assure her of my deep sense that the public opinion is very different from the bought and popular clamour which has been excited in some of the manufacturing districts.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you as well as I have interests to protect and support. I ask you all to make a pull, a long pull, a strong pull, and a pall altogether. (Cheers, and some ironical cries.) And, then I ask, have the respectable inhabitants of this county made that pull in vain ?—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I thank you for your attention. I wish I had strength to say more, but I can assure you, for one, that I am d e t erm i ne d to pursue th a t s t ra i g h t f orwar d and honest path which, whenever strayed from, must end in ruin and desola tion.—(Cheers.) Lord W. LENNOX said that he could vouch for one thing—that their representative, the Earl of March, would have great pleasure in presenting their petition to the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He wished some of the Leaguers were present —(A Voice—" Oh, you would be frightened," and laughter.) He wished the Leaguers had been present to hear the sentiments that day uttered in that room.—(" Oh, you would run away.") The Leaguers talked of free trade, which meant only low wages to the labourer, and the taking of money out of the pockets of the agriculturists to put into the pockets of the manufacturers. The sentiments uttered by the Leaguers were calculated only to bring anarchy and confusion, to set the labourer against the farmer, and the farmer against the occu pier of land, and the occupier against the owner and landlord ; so that in the general scramble the Leaguers might come in for a share of the profits. —(Cheers and hisses.) Those Leaguers, too, were very abusive. What, said Cobden ?—(Cries of " Ay, that's the man.") Yes, that was the man.—(Cheers and laughter.) Cobden said, "If you landlords will as sent to the repeal of the corn-laws, and to have all your lands thrown out of cultivation, then we will not ask you to disgorge all your ill-gotten gains." Why, where was the farmer who had any such gains ? There was no such person in the world.—(Laughter and cheers.) The manufacturers pretended to sympathise with the agricultural labourers in respect to what they were pleased to term their distressed condition ; but did they think that by throwing those labourers out of employment they would improve their condition ? Had those who heard him ever read the accounts given before Parliamentary Committees of the cruel manner in which young children were treated in facto ries ? He himself once saw the late Mr. Sadler produce, in the House of Commons, a sort of knout or stick, to which a thong of leather was fastened, with which the poor little creatures were beaten when they fell asleep from over-fatigue ; and yet these manufacturers were the persons upon whose tender mercies they were now called on to rely. lie considered Sir R. Peel had for feited his word, and violated the pledge he gave when he went into power under the banners on which was in scribed, " Protection to Agriculture." In the words of the poet : full holiday and their day's pay, and others an extra shilling. As they were about to leave the hall they were called upon, as " gentlemen," not to go away without signing, or putting their mark rather, to the petitions ; and it was curious to hear Some of them remark, " Well, I be obliged to sign this, but I doan't know what be vor, I doan't." Perhaps the Duke of Richmond's electioneer ing man, who was so busy upon this occasion, did not properly explain the matter. MEETING AT AYLESBURY. AYLESBURY, DEC. 31.—The annual general meeting of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association took place this afternoon, at the George Inn, Aylesbury. The at tendance of tenant-farmers and landholders of the county was very considerable, the meeting being presided over by his Grace the Duke of Buckingham. Among the gentlemen present who took part in the proceeding, were the Hon. Captain Fitzmaurice, M.P., Mr. R. K. Clayton, M.P., Major-General Sir James Watson, Captain Dean, Captain Anderson, Colonel Watson, the Rev. E. E. Gray, the Rev. J. Rose, B.D. Letters having been read from Mr. C. J. Dupre, M.P., and Mr. C. Tower, M.P., regretting their absence, but expressing their deteimination to resist any alteration in the present existing corn- laws, to the injury of the agricultural interest, The Duke of BUCKIXGRAM said, that having trans acted the routine business of the day, he should not be opinion on fatigue upon tthheern quebs y entering into detail upon the merits of a question upon doing his duty if h e did not offer a few observations on what should be the cou rse f or them to pursue at the pre sent inomenteus crisis, and on t h e present position in which the agricultural interest of thi s country stood.— (Hear.) He had, on so many occa s i ons , expressed to t t iheee of m and the t heeer corn-laws, country aw a, that at h large e which his opinion s had f or so l ong a period been knows ' . He, ma would simply state.that4oSe °pluton?. still reskipegr unchanged.—(Ch eers .) f t " musk' be admitia on all hands that th e p resent was a momentous cr i s i s i n t h e would hs affairs of the nation, and it might be necessary, before long, for the agriculturists of the country to take steps for the protection of that interest which had so long been enjoyed, and which, as a body, they so much deserved.—(Hear.) They were all aware that there bad recently been a great division in her Majesty's Cabinet, that it had keen broken up, that another had been at tempted to be formed by the opponents of Sir R. Peel's Government, and that it had failed, and it was equally notorious that the Ministry of Sir R. Peel had, with some alteration, been reconstructed —(Hear.) Upon what grounds the first Government of Sir R. Peel was broken up, and upon what principles its opponents were allowed to make an attempt to form a Ministry, and attempt to come again into power, he begged to say he was as much in the dark as they were.—(Hear.) He knew nothing about it but by common rumour, and rumour ascribed it to a division upon that important, and to all present, in teresting question—the corn-laws.—(Hear.) A rumour that the Prime Minister had declared in favour of a re peal, or such an alteration, as would materially affect their interests, had gone abroad, and he would say that even as a rumour the matter was worthy their serious consideration, and might render it necessary not only for the agricultural interest to watch most narrowly the proceedings of her Majesty's Ministry, but, as he had before said, to take some steps for their own pro tection and the protection of the country generally.— (Cheers.) For his own part he did not wish to con ceal from them his opinion that the agricultural body b this country had the power, if they pleased, to crush and to defeat any attempt that might be made to repeal the corn-laws.—(Hear.) He said this, knowing well what power the agricultural population of England did possess, and he said so as being id e ntifi e d an d c l ose l y connected with that particular interest.—(Hear.) H e again said that he was aw are of th e p ower th e y h a d if they knew how to use it.—(Cheers.) The way in which they ought to take up that important question was, its the national point of view, affecting deeply the interests of all, both high and low.—(Hear.) He again denied, as he had done on former occasions, that the repeal of the corn.laws would benefit the poorer classes of the community in this country.—(Cheers.) He looked at this question truly in a national point of view, and be could not view but with dismay the privations and the trouble likely to be inflicted on the country should the corn-laws be repealed.—(Hear.) All of them were aware of what art, science, and industry had done to advance the agriculture, and consequent prosperity of the country ; but if the corn-laws were repealed, their re sources in this respect would become crippled, and what, he would ask, would be the result if a sar was to take place ? By what means, then, were these resources to he brought to bear if the corn-laws were repealed, and all the bad lands thrown out of cultivation ? (Hear, hear.) Re (the Noble Duke) was not fond of vituperation, nor would he ever lend himself to pr. sonal abuse ; but.he would ask, what had been the con duct of those who, by the aid of the agricultural inte rest, had been placed in power? It had been to fly in the faces of those who gave them that poser. The Whigs were at least consistent, but not so the Conser vative party sent in by the voice of the agricultural population. He (the Duke of Buckingham) would pub licly declare his conviction that, if the corn-laws were repealed, such a proceeding would sound the death.. knell of the independence and prosperity of the coun try.—(Loud cries of " !fear, hear.') If it was true that Sir R. Peel's Administration had the design of re pealing the corn-laws, he could only say that he could not see upon what principle of fairness or honesty to the agricultural interest who placed them in power they could have in bringing forward such a scheme.—(Hear.) Ile could understand it coming from the Opposition, and could accord to them that they had honestly and fairly adhered to their principles; but if it be the case with Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, that they had agreed to become the instruments for a repeal of the corn laws, and thereby destroy the agricultural interest of the country, he was then prepared to say that they were acting in the very teeth of those by whom they had been supported, and whom they were bound to protect.—(Hear, hear.) These were his °pi. nions, but he was desirous of waiting for confirmation until the meeting of Parliament, when they would he able to know what the real intentions of the Ministry were with reference to this important question.—(Hear.) If he found that what had been rumoured was in re ality the case, then he was prepared to tell them that they were not only acting in direct opposition to their declaration which placed them in power, but in direct opposition to the wishes of the farmer and the good opinion of the agricultural portion of the country.— (Hear.) He was glad that the farmers were coming forward in every part of the country as they should, and they would not be doing their duty in Buckinghamshire if they did not also come forward. After some further remarks the Noble Duke resumed his seat amidst loud cheering. The Hon. Captain Frrzatartnice, M.P., rose to pro pose the first resolution. He agreed with tha Noble Duke in the chair that the agricultural interest had the power, if they had the will, to see that the pro mises made by the Conservative Administration were kept, not only in the letter, but in the spirit. The superiority of the English farmer over the farmers of any other country was attributable to our protective system; and in a corresponding degree as that system became relaxed foreign nations increased their duties, and thus the evil told doubly against us. After a long ad ress, in whi -h the Hon. and Gallant Captain charged the Anti •Corn-law League, as professed admirers of the Reform Bill, with carrying out, on a gigantic scale, in the counties, that same system of venality which they had deprecated i n th e o ld rotten b oroughs, he c oncl u ded by moving a resolution to the effect:— ant conduct of " That, looking with suspicion at the its them to unite e xp to re i s n s t: d rfe h r i e s withecor dial r. agriculturists of their danger, and to _ made to repeal the in resisting any attempt wbiah m a y be Ministers, the meeting considers it to ca bf existing corn-laws." M.P. .1 7 . ic for h might Aylesbury, made a d e Mr. W. JEbrzNas seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Sir JAMES WATSON moved Cie second retoluti( n : I P duty to warn the " That local petitions be prepared in every parish in the county, to the Queen and both Houses of Parliament, pray ing the present protection to agriculture would be resisted." li th r. a c t any attem pt Mr. JoaN STONE seconded this resolution. dial approbation of the course pursued by the • 1 agricu - tural body, declared his opinion still unchanged on the necessity of the existing corn aws, and a determination to resist the Ministry to any attempt to destroy protec tion to agriculture. About 200 gentlemen subsequently sat down to a din ner, presid e d over by his Grace the Duke of Bucking. ham, and the proceedings terminated. HERS. A large an d influential meeting of the noblemen and gentlemen forming this society, as well as of the tenant. farmers interested in the agriculture prosperity of Hert fordshire, was held on Wednesday in the Town-hall of St. Albans, for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken in the present extraordinary crisis. The Noble the Marquis of Salisbury was called to the chair. The platform was densely crowded with the principal landholders of the county, and there might be some five hundred respectable farmers in the body of the hall, among the former we observed:— The Marquis of Salisbury. K G., in the chair ; Earl of Essex, Lord Dacre, Hon. G. D. Ryder, M.P.; Sir A. J. Dalrymple, Bart , Sir Minto Farquhar, Bart., Colonel Calvert, W. Gambier, Esq., C. T. Chinnery, Esq., A. Prior, Esq..
