ILA The Committee of Shareholders dire . ct the attention of the Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which would arise to the Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab lished dividend-paying company. There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the Directors were convinced it was the wish of the larger portion of the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar rangement. The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object, and they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the meeting, and if they vote for the continuance of the project to do so, accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion on the advantage of amalgamation. It Is necessary for every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the Committee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. H. PhiHipps:No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before THURSDAY next when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme• diately after the meeting.

On Monday last, a very nurneronsty-attended meeting, convened by the Mayor, was held in the Town-hall, to petition the House of Lords to pass the Corn-bill. The meeting had been called by his worship in pursuance of the following requi sition :—" To the Right Worshipful the Mayor of the bo rough of Kingston-upon -Hull.—Sir,—We, the undersigned merchants, shipowners, tradesmen, and other inhabitants of Kingston• upon-Hull, most earnestly request you to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough, to be held at the Town-Hall, on an early day, to take into con sideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords in favour of the repeal of the corn-laws, and other measures for the establishment of free-trade, lately brought before Parliament by her Majesty's Government.' After the several resolutions had been submitted to, and approved of, by the meeting, and a petition to the Lords agreed upon, The Rev. JAMES Asructr.r., rector of Althorpe, Lincoln shire, on rising was received with loud cheers, and, after some other remarks, thus proceeded—lt is often urged, as an argument against free trade, that it would create a mutual dependence upon each other between the different nations of the earth. Now to me, as a Christian man and a Chris- tian minister, the power to create this very dependence is as high a recommendation as any other which trade possesses, to enlist me in the effort to make wider its borders. It means, when translated into plain English, that trade is the best peacemaker, and the best security forleeping the peace between country and country which it is possible to conceive. And I begin my address to you with this trite and threadbare remark, because, after one of the free trade me etin g s which I attended, at the town of Hull, I was taken to task on this very point by the then Ministerial organ, the Morning Herald, which, after dealing out to me a general rebuke for publicly avowing my sympathy with your sacred cause, went on to call my attention to a passage of holy writ which, it said, would, if well considered, draw me to very different con clusions on the subject from those which I previously held. I must confess that I was somewhat startled at an effort to persuade a minister of religion that he ought to be an advocate of a state of things which would allow a nation to go to war at any moment on the shortest possible notice, and much more so to find it alleged that the authority for making him such was to be looked for in the page of Scripture. Has the writer of such an almost impious appeal ever asked himself what war is ?—(Hear, hear.) Has he ever, even in a passing thought, contemplated all its attendant horrors—fire and sword, blood and massacre, the shrieks of the dying and the tears for the dead; the wife widowed, and the child orphaned, with violence and rapine in the front, and pesti lence and famine in the back-ground of the hateful picture, all so terrible to think of, and so much more terrible to witness, that the great hero of modern times, our own laurelled Wellington, has been heard to exclaim, "that next to a battle lost, the most dreadful thing in the world is a battle gained?"—(Hear.) Bat I turned to the passage pointed out to me by my critic, and found it to be that famous one in which the sacred writer informs us that a quarrel having sprung up between King Herod and the people of Tyre and Sidon, the latter were anxious not to push things to extremities, but to remain at peace, " because their country was nourished by the king's ceuntry."— (Hear, hear.) It is impossible to say how light makes its way into the human intellect; but from the very same pre mises I arrive at exactly au opposite conclusion to that laid down by the great Mentor of the press, and see in his argu ment against the dependence-created by trade, a most glo rious and striking instance of its blessed and peaceful influence to check the evil passions, and control the pride and wrath of man. Here were two nations about to plunge into war and all the horrors which have been depicted. Angry feelings had grown into angry words. The sword was to be drawn, and blood was to flow, until the delirium being over, a lucid interval should return, and both parties be left to regret their folly, and weep, in tears of bitterness and an guish, over the sad and sorrowful consequences which it had brought upon them. But at this crisis trade stepped in with its mediating power, andhushed the rising storm.—(Cheers.) It reminded the men of Tyre and Sidon, whatever wrong had been committed, or provocation given by those who held sway over them, that there were people as well as rulers, and that the happiness and interests of the one were as worthy of a na tion's care as the pride or ambition of the other.—(Hear, hear. ) Its voice prevailed. Peace resumed its smiling aspect, and all-triumphant commerce continued to run on in its accums• tomed channels.—(Loud cheers.) I only wish, when I look back at this striking proof of the mighty influence of trade, that we also were bound by a good commercial treaty to keep the peace with all the leading nations of the world. A good commercial treaty, for instance, between France and England, and a thriving trade between the two countries, would have given the people of both a better occupation a year or two ago than to be watching, as they were, for daily excitement in the news from Morocco or the far Pacific.— (Cheers.) Neither would the Oregon question ever have grown up into such a dangerous bone of contention between us and the United States, but for the perpetual feeling of hostility which monopoly keeps up between the two nations. Give them an unshackled trade, and the spirit of pugnacity on both sides of the Atlantic will fly before the superior in fluence of the genius of commerce.—(Loud cheers.) But to pass on from this part of the subject, every speaker on the question of the corn-laws must feel that he can add nothing new to the arguments which have been again and again brought forward, and exhausted in the protracted discussion of it. There is, however, one point of view in which it has been less looked at than in any other, namely, as it is pecu liarly and especially the working men's question.—( Hear.) First of all, in advancing to the consideration of it in this light, I cannot help expressing my satisfaction at the better and, indeed, thorough, understanding of this most important subject which has made its way to the popular mind during the agitation of the last four or five years.—( Hear.) Before that time the working classes were too often the dupes of in• terested teachers who made them believe that dear bread caused high wages, a doctrine which, if properly and fully carried out, would lead to the reductio ad absurdum that a famine was the real and short cut to health and wealth and prosperity. But they know better than this now. Since the question has been so vividly foreed upon their minds, they have taken notes and watched its working for them selves, and have thoroughly learned, what even Mr. Hudson admitted the other night in the House of Commons, that labour is no exception to the rule which settles the price of every article according to the supply and demand for it.—(Loud cheers.) But I said that the question of the corn-laws was peculiarly and especially the working men's question. I repeat, emphatically, that it is so.— (Cheers.) They are always the first and the greatest suf ferers in a season of scarcity.—(Hear.) I can tell you from my own experience and recollections how it affects them ; and what has been,,may be again, should the Lords rashly throw out Sir Robert Peel's free-trade measure. I was, in the earlier part of my clerical life, the minister of a large parish in the manufacturing districts, and it was my misfortune, during the time, to witness one of thoseperiodical stagnations of business which the working of monopoly from time to time brings upon the country. We had been enjoying an unusual season of prosperity. The people had employment, and they were satisfied. The sound of industry was heard in every cottage. Happiness and contentment were written on the countenances of the inmates, while the smiling cherub faces which played around the door, told that, if they were not pampered by the food of luxury, they were nourished by the hand of plenty.—(Cheers.) Every house had its appro • priate stock of furniture, and, as often as the returning Sab bath or holiday proclaimed d cessation from labour, there was an improvement of attire about the people which' it was delightful to behold. But this state of things was not to last. The demon of corn-law approached, and the pestilential breath of the destroyer was at once felt. The blast of desola tion came. A commercial shock struck at the very centre of the prosperity of the country, and the whole fabric of hope and anticipation fell before it. Mills stopped working; fac tories discharged their hands. The voice of industry was heard no more. The look of happiness and contentment gradually disappeared from the countenances of the poor, and was replaced by the hollow cheek, the sunken eye, the care worn brow, by every symptom which could speak the in tenseness of their misery. Hunger and starvation were in the faces of their children. It is true that both public subscriptions and private charity were actively at work all this time ; but what can they effect when a whole population is starving and crying out for bread ?—(Hear.) One portion of furniture after another was parted with to procure the means of subsistence —first of all, the clock and chest of drawers in which the wife had felt no little pride and pleasure—then the tables— the chairs—the very bed itself—the clothing, too, all shared the same fate, except such tattered rags as the cold might search through at every inclement blast—and so the torrent of misery rushed on, until the dwellings which just before might be likened to the cottage of content, became no better than the fearful picture of the Cave of Famine in Churchill's poems— " Where half-starved spiders prey'd on half-starved flies." But, perhaps, the most melancholy feature of all that melan choly period was to witness the fearful struggle of honest English independence in the minds of some of the people before they could bring themselves to accept the relief offered to them. I shall never forget the case of one poor man whom I bad long known and remarked for his industry and steady habits. Thinnerand paler and more care-worn he grew every day; but he never complained. He never asked assistance. He never told or confessed to the actual misery and wretched ness of his family at home. Heaven help hire, poor soul He had no occasion. The whole story was written upon hi:. countenance as plainly as in a book open before you. Often and often did I press him to go with others for a share of the food which was distributed so many times in a week out of the fund raised for that purpose, until one day, I recol lect, when 1 urged it most strongly upon him, he turned from me to hide the tears which started into his eyes, as, using a Lancashire word which means "starved." he said, "No, sir, lam not clemmed ' enough for that yet." At the moment, I stood before that man with a respect which I had never felt for a fellow-mortal, and frequently since, as I have thought of that trying period, and. the events by which it was marked, my memory has recurred to the evil augury which Sir Walter Scott makes Marmion draw for Scotland at the sight of Douglas weeping at the King's rebuke : " Oh ! let such tears unwonted plead For respite short from dubious deed ; A child may weep a bramble's smart, A maid, to see her sparrow part, A stripling for .a woman's heart; But woe awaits a country, when She sees the tears of bearded men."—(Hear, hear.) And how long is the nation to be kept liable to such convul sions, to such social earthquakes, as we may well call them ? What is going to be done now? Is, as it is whispered by some of the most desperate of the monopolists, the Duke of Richmond or Lord Stanley, about to form an administration of country gentlemen? When the Swedes complained to Charles the Twefth of the grievances by which they were afflicted during his absence at the head of his army, he re plied that, " If they troubled him any more, he would tend one of his jackboots to rule over them." Well, a government of topboots would be next door to it. But, suppose them in the saddle, boots, and spurs too, what would they do? Would they attempt t o ma i nta i n the statu quo. Or, even in their case, finding that to be i m p oss ibl e , wou ld iey have a dream of another compromise, another sliding of the sliding• scale, another " much ado about nothing" specimen of the Indian jugglers' legislation? But this will not do. There has been too much of this sort of work already. We are met h ere t o protest aga i nst h av i ng any more o s t it. One has g i ven us a corn -l aw, an d ano th er has given a corn-law, and one has tampered with the trade the e country, and anothe r h as t a mpered with it, u patient is in danger of miserably perishing from the dosing s and counter-dosing which it has had to endure fromnl d the pooro many different hands. In "Bentley's Miscellany, for December, we read of a quarrel between the Town-Council' and Magis trates of some borough about the appointment of a surgeon to the gaol. Each claimed the right, and each exercised it, and lo " two puddings smoked u pon the_ bond," or rather MA. Y 28, 1846. PRICE SD. the gaol in question 'vas blessed with two rival doctors. A prisoner fell ill. Both visited him ; both prescribed for him ; both sent medicine as different as the views which they had taken Of the disease. The gaoler being no party man, felt that his duty was to make tilt unhappy sufferer swallow the physic of both, when luckily, at this JunctUre, the mayor, being the most sensible man of the lot, interferred, and, ex tinguishing both surgeons pro tempore, called in a physician, who cured the patient. But, says the tale, as it sums up, if his worship had been less sagacious, and the sick man had been left to undergo the horrors of opposite treatment and the double allowance of physic, and death had been the result, what verdict would a jury have returned? There can be but one answer. It would, of course, have been, " Died of too much doctor." And this is the exact peril to which the trade of this country is constantly kept exposed. It also is in danger of " dying of toe much doctor." It is tended like " an oak in a flower-pot," when it Wants room, and space, and freedom to project its roots in all directions and shoot forth its spreading and luxuriant branches far and wide. " What can I do for you ?" said the Macedonian Prince to the philosopher of old : " Stand out of my light that I may see the sun," was all the reply given. And this is what trade asks i from is ev e o r ffi a officious i o w u o s r i statesmen it and s l e t e o ri sl theat p in r o a s n e d killing out k m i y n d light s and let me have a little sunshine. scatter the clouds of your bungling interference,and let ' brinthe the pure air of free dom.

In short, wants to be rescued from the danger of " dying - doctor." And from this danger the care of thestateM much das octor." well as the sympathy of the philanthropist, should be roused a, to snatch it—and what, indeed, should a statesman be but a philanthropist in the largest meaning of the word ? But some of our opponents—l have heard it from themselves— tell us that they would abandon the corn-laws to the agita-. tion and organisation of the free- triiders, if they could quite persuade themselves that thereare no ulterior objects masked behind this first demand. This is the wisdom of the school boy over again, who, .when scolded for his stupidity in not learning his lesson, protested most strongly against the in ference—" No, mother, no! I'm not a dunce ; but i know -very well that, if I learn A, master will want me to learn B next."—(Laughter.) Now, this young gentleman was an admirable specimen of a person guarding himself against ul terior designs.—(Hear.) But his imitators would do well to recollect that, as there is, a time to hold out, so there is a time to yield ; and they should take care not to pass that time by, lest, by their obstinacy, they should bring upon themselves the very peril which they wish to avoid—( Hear)—and' be compelled, not only to learn A, but B also, and C and D, and all the letters of the political alphabet, down to Z itself. It it said that there are persons who, if you give them an inch, will take an ell. But whether this rule will or will not hold good in politics, depends more upon the giver than the re ceiver.—(Hear.) An inch, given in time, and given gracefully, will, by the feelings of gratitude which it excites in the people, often save an ell.—(Hear.) But, if obstinately refused and held back until wrung from the hand which de tains it, it is taken without thanks, and a demand for the ell instantly follows. And some of the monopolists, lam sorry to say, seem to be bent upon playing this losing game in the matter of the corn-laws. In putting forward such remarks, far be it from me to urge or to think that states men and legislators should rush in breathless haste to yield to every wild and ephemeral cry which may spring up and die out in a day. But prudent and far-seeing men ought surely to be able to distinguish between a real and a counterfeit, a genuine and a spurious, public opinion— (Cheers) —they ought to know the steady and increasing light which flashes from the one in all directions, from the the fire of stubble and momentary blaze of the other.—( Loud cheers.) And they ought to perceive clearly that there is an earnestness, that there is a reality, that there is a strength, in the national demand for free-trade, which plainly says, that a compliance with it cannot be much longer evaded, and, therefore, that it is folly to defer it until the people may be irritated into demanding free trade and something more.— (Renewed cheering). Do our monopolist legislators want to afflict the country with a perpetual blister of agitation ? Do they wish to make agitation so strong that, when it has carried one object, it shall have sting enough left in it instantly to set about another—(Hear)—ever, like the phoe nix, instead of dying in its ashes, renewing itself, and start ' ing back into all its youthful vigour?—(Cheers.) If they were wise men, they would yield at once—if, even now, the time for yielding gracefully have not passed by.—(Hear). If they persist much longer in a vain and useless opposition, they will only (to use a homely proverb) " go fa rther and fare worse."-4 Cheers.) They must be losers by so perse veringly teaching the people the power of combination and organisation.—(Hear.) If this struggle should be foolishly protracted on their part, what must inevitably be the result? Do they think that the sweets of power and ambition are pleasant and acceptable to none but those of their own class and order ? Do they expect that the men who have guided and wielded the popular will by their mental superiority and inspiring eloquence, will quietly retire to their looms and their factories, their works and their warehouses, and leave the arena of public affairs to those whom they have so often foiled and baffled in it? Do they suppose that those who have become freeholders, and dethroned one county despot after another, will all at once act the part of political suicides, burn their title-deeds, or barter away their power?--(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Marvellously small must be their knowledge of human na ture if they have any such idea. But they cannot entertain such an absurdity in their minds. Convinced of the fruitless ' ne,es of any further resistance, they must, in spite of their looks and words of bold defiance, be going to yield, and all that the people have to do more at this crisis is to make it apparent and clear to the monopolists that yielding must mean yielding, and nothing else—(Hear)—and that the re peal of the corn-laws must be total and nothing less—they must take care not, in the joy and intoxication of victory, to suffer the results of defeat to be palmed upon them as the fruits of success.—( Hear.) As Mr. Cobden has said over and over again, this is the veryti me to watch and be wary. Our enemies are a slippery race, ever sliding, never standing fast to anything.—(Laughter and cheers.) Even now, when about to give away, they are some of them yet talking of bargains, compacts, compromises, terms, conditions, compensations, stipulations, and I know nut what besides ; but all such things must be carefully denounced by free-traders.—(Hear, hear.) The very words, as here used, have birdlime, bubbles, snares, pitfalls, mantraps plainly written over them.—(Hear.) You must not, then, and I am glad that you do not, abate one atom of vigilance, one iota of zeal, one fraction of energy, until the work is accomplished. and the repeal of the corn-laws ac tually made part and parcel of the statute-book of the coun try.—(Loud cheers.) The man in the fable was credulous, and foolish, and sluggish, and folded his arms, and stood looking on in idleness, while he called upon Hercules to lift his waggon wheels out of the ruts into which they had sunk and stuck fast.—(Hear.) But in our case it must be every man his own Hercules. Every man must put his own shoul ders to the wheel until success is achieved. No room must be left for accidents between the cup and the lip.—(Hear, hear.) It is the last nail which will rivet the whole work; send it home by your unanimity and determination this day, with a will which cannot be mistaken, and which will prove to your opponents that it is the 'right one which you have hit upon the head with the sledge hammer of a giant.—(Laud cheers.) But all this time I have said nothing about the specific measure proposed by Sir Robert Peel. 'What do I think of it? In all honesty, I think it a very great measure, and it appears to me that we must all admit that it has been brought forward and carried through the House of Commons in a sincere and good spirit, and we ought, by our meetings from one extremity of the empire to the other, to give him all support to carry it further and on to victory against the fierce, but final, oppo sition of the monopolist Peers.—(Loud cheers.) But still, as an agriculturist, and also as a free-trader, lam anxious that the repeal of the corn-laws should be immediate as well as total.—(Hear.) Captain Marryatt, in describing the death of one of his characters somewhat given to romancing, makes him, true to the ruling passion to the very last, ex claim, in his expiring moment, when he felt the death rattle rising in his throat, " Oh, never mind that. A friend of mine had the rattles in his throat for six weeks before he died." But protection is to be so afflicted, not for six weeks only, but for three years, that is, we, agriculturists, who are proverbi ally a timid race, are to face the ordeal of three years of doubt, three' years of uncertainty, three years of un easiness, three years of perpetuated panic and unsettled minds. And at the end of the three years—what? Aye, " there's the rub."—(Laughter.) It is a secret worth know ing; but neither you nor I can find it out. If the duty should then be at the four-shilling end of the sliding-scale, the thing will go off well. Our fall will be upon a feather bed, and there will be no bones broken. But if it should happen to be at ten shillings, then, and for some time pre viously, it may act as a premium for a panic, by inducing foreigners to hold back their corn until the sliding-scale expires, and then pour in the accumulation all at once, so as na ti tn otonely all t the o monetary affect th e affairsagri culturaolfin thet interest, but country. .to A de n ra d n , g in e for that case, how all the prophets of evil would exult and re joice as they charged upon free-trade the mischief entirely to be ascribed to a blunder of legislation. This should be vet altered, if possible, and I hope that Sir Robert Peel may be induced to alter it.—(Hear, hear.) Ilydropathy may be a very harmless affair while it confines itself to the j p e r te p d -h by an i d t le to ; t b b u o t a l c , ti f o o a r one, of a chaatvareacnto—(Cheers.) ) T bein h g er s e ub i; T e a t it on do e w o n. ther T p l o w in a t ta u g p n on ati w on vihichbilch has affectedwouldbriefly everyt touch chbefore branch of trade and commerce in the country, from the delay of the ministerial measure in the House of Commons, is greatly to be deplored, especially when it is evident, from the scene which took place on the night of its third reading, that per sonal feeling has at least had as much influence as patriotism with the cleverest of the obstacle-mongers, whose hostility to Sir Robert Peel appears to be very much akin to the lamen tation of the disappointed belle at the undiscerning blindness or too . bashful coyness of the hesitating beaux— " They don't propose—they won't propose, For fear, perhaps, I'd not say ' Yes.' Just let them try, for, heaven knows, I'm tired of single blessedness."—(Laughter.) But still, as far as the question of free-trade itself is con cerned, I ed, however verthis delay may have tried our patience, it believe, greatly strengthened our cause.— (Hear.) If the p ro moters of it fancied that, to use a Trans- Atlantic phrase, by adopting this " masterly inac tivit y " they should allow ' the agriculturists through the country time to get up a fiery storm of agitation in their beha farlf, how miserably self-deceived they must have been. So from such a response having been made to their appeal, the Ministerial settlement of the question has been met, if not with grateful acquiescence, at all events. with silent indiffer ence throughout the rural districts. At the Watford meet ing the other day, the Earl of Essex proclaimed his unquali fied conversion and adhesion to the principles of free-trade-- (Hear, hear)—and the Earl of Essex, we know, was one of those to whom the monopolists looked for the most strenuous help and assistance, as, in their imaginations, they inscribed " mangling done here " over the portals of the House of Lords.—(Laughter.) In nay own parish, too, I found, upon my return from London a week or two ago, that our largest farmer —acrd a very good and clever farmer lie is, but a most confirmed croaker and alarmist withal at one time on the subject of free trade—had been taking some ten acres more, at a rent certainly not less than three pounds an acre. And he has since increased his holding by a hundred and eighty additional acres, at a somewhat, but not very much, lower rent.—(Hear, hear.) Now, this is what I call being a merry mourner over the death of monopoly. Hi s name is Brown, but, as I said before, lie is no green one in his vocation—(Laughter)—and nobody can say that he is either looking very blue himself, or regarding the prospects of agri culture as very black at the present moment.—(Cheers) And yet, I can assure you, three months since the same man Inclusive.

FEARFUL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT ON LONDON- BRIDGE. —On Tuesday, about six o'clock, a very distressing accident took place on the Southwark side of London •bridge, to a poor man, named Michael Donovan, aged 49 years, a bricklayer, residing at >To. 3 White's-place , R edcross-street, Borough. He was crossin g the : r i ng s way, when he was knocked down by au omnibus which was passing towards iligh-street, and before the driver could stop the horses, the off-wheel passed over his neck, and caused a lacerated wound of the cheek. He was carried to St. Thomas's Hospital where he is going on as favourably' as can be expected. / ~~t had ai?it,..Tirtrerrirt of avoiding the rain which free-trade was certain to bring- with . it, was to fly to some unknown land, the paradise of farmers, where corn was to be had for reaping and labour for nothing. But enotigli. Under any circumstances, the ' struggle is Almost over.—(Hear, hear.) " The shadows which coming events cast before them" cannot be mistaken. They all combine to assure us that the mission of the League is nearly accomplished- The mission of the League I Upon that phrase, as this, I trust, is our last meeting on the eve of victory, I would dwell for a few moments as I finish. Never to my mind was a more sacred or holy mission undertaken by mortal man.—(Cheers.) Its dreams are not of wild ambition or eftentied ptrwer, like those of the statesman or the hero. It arrays itself, indeed, as a conqueror for the struggle ; but the conquests which it would achieve are of & peaceful and moral kind. Its object is to wrestle with, to vear down, to overcome, the blighting influence of class interest, to subvert . the dominion of selfishness, to uproot monopoly, to win the convictions of the country to the necessity and benefit of these things, and to set free the industry of the people from the chains in which a mis taken and one-sided legislation has so long bound it.— (Cheers.) This is the mission of the League! For such ends, for such a conquest, it started into being, and so far its career has been a march of triumph through the land. The miserable sophistry and more miserable ignorance of its enemies exposed, prejudice trampled under foot, obstinacy softened down, hostility soothed into friendship, conviction reaching, first, hundreds, then thousands, and tens of thou sands, and, last of all, spreading to the millions—and taken up by the whole people, as it were, by acclamation, these are the trophies which it has already set up in its onward march to Victory. And who shall tell me, as I contemplate these little less than miraculous achievements, that the day can now be far off when the impulse given to the trade of England by the seven men who met seven years ago in the small room at Manchester, shall make itself felt on the banks of the Ganges, in the valleys of the Mississippi, and the farthest islands of the ocean ? But while I praise the League for its almost superhuman energies and exertions, we must not forget that others, high and influential, great and noble in the land, are zealously an d earnestly with the people in this mighty struggle. And if from the ranks of these I may select one to whom the gratitude of the countr y is pec uli arly due I would for an instant pause u p on the name of t he grfn t head of the Liberal party, Lord John Russell. His adh esion to the popular wishes was the signal f or immediate v ictory. His famous letter from Edinburgh ro sooner made its ap pearance, than the tide of conflict, fiercely' maintained before, was at once turned in our favour. It produced a sudden and a healthy change throughout the land. His name was upon every lip, and the eyes of all true lovers of their country were bent upon him and marked him as their leader in the crisis of the struggle. The timid were encouraged; the doubtful active f and cn the c o n fi dence zealous c o mmunicatedwerestimtoolathteedir toh of revering were decided. The desponding felt the influence former exertions. In short, s pirit • d a . new . invigorated every breast, and the people,st r o n g h earts. Even t E ha v n en th t ei he r in their numbers, but strong in the righteousness of their cause, rallied unfurled by their old and tried lead er— his n d the standard very name an augery of victory, their English determination a surety that that augery should not be in vain. —(Applause.) But still, and Lord John Russell, I am certain, would be foremost to say so, the first and chief praise of all that is accomplished can only be ascribed to one quarter. Compare the state of our cause at the present moment with what it was when first the agitation in its behalf commenced. Free trade was then a theory, an abstraction, which might here and there occupy the attention of some deep thinker in his closet. Now it is a question fully and clearly understood by applauding millions. (Applause.) Then it was a speck, a spot, no bigger than a man's hand, just peeping above the horizon of the country. —( Hear, hear.) Now, it is a rich and fertilizing cloud filling the whole political sky around and above us. Then it was a tiny, trickling rill, stealing silently and ,imperceptibly through the land. Now it is a wide' and majestic stream, resistless as the flood which feeds Niagara with its waters, and sweeping all before it in its rising and swelling tide.-(Cheers.) And who have made it ail-this? Who watched over it, and cherished and nursed it in its earliest and tenderest infancy? Who worked far it, and toiled for it, and laboured for it from the very beginning, not waiting until the iron was hot before they struck, but striking it with lusty vigour until they made it hot? Who were the patient and persevering instructors of the popular mind, steady to the work, through evil report and good report, for years upon years, refuting every error, exposing every fallacy, explain ing every difficulty, until at last they have created a public opinion in its hehalf which is the representative of almost a nation's thoughts, its fiat law, its will command, and snatching from the ranks of its opponents the very states men whom they raised to power as the stoutest champions of their cause, and harnessing them to the triumphal chariot in which it is careering to victory? Who have done all this? The League—the men of the League— and honour to them for it.—(Loud cheers.) Honour to them now; and honour to them from all future generations of their countrymen. We find it emblazoned in the history of France that, for centuries and centuries after the death of the celebrated Maid of Orleans, the inhabitants of her native village had cause to remember her not only with national pride, but with personal gratitude, inasmuch as when told to , name a reward for her services to her coun try, she asked nothing for herself, but prayed that the seat of her birth and childhood might be free from every kind of impost and duty. Her request was granted, and annually, as the taxes were gathered in, it was passed by, the books of the collectors having this significant intimation written op posite to its name, "Nothing, for the Maid's sake." Now, draw the lesson ; point the moral for yourselves. Shall Eng lishmen be less grateful? Will they not, through ages yet unborn, feel pleasure, and pride, and thankfulness, when they look back at the glorious struggle now drawing to a close, and as the food of the people now comes to them, untaxed, with no duty, no sloth-encouraging protection to be paid upon it, from every region of the earth, will they not also joyfully exclaim " Nothing for the League's sake?" It is the fulfilment of its mission—" Nothing for the League's saxe." The Rev. Gentleman was repeatedly cheered during the delivery of his speech, and resumed his-seat amidst the ; most enthusiastic plaudits of the meeting.

THE HARVEST.—Next in importance to the fate of the proposed scheme for lowering the duties on grain to a nominal point is:the prospect for the ensuing harvest. On this head some apprehension was beginning to be felt in consequence of the very wet weather experienced for several consecutive days; but those fears have in a great measure been set at rest by the splendid weather we have enjoyed since Thursday. At this early period it would be folly to enter into anything like a prediction as to what may be the yield of the next crop, butwe are certainly inclined to think that there exists at present very little real cause for despendeney. Rather too much wet may have fallen to be altogether benbficial for the wheat plant ; a warm, dry June would, however, put all right ; and for the spring -sown corn, the hay-crop, and all kinds of culinary vegetables, the showers must have been highly serviceable. The very important decline which has taken place in the value of w heat since the close of April has had the effect of checking the supplies from the growers, and the quantity brought forward at th e different markets hell during the week has been only moderate ; nor is there a prospect of the deliveries again increasing for some time to come. In the course of another fortnight the hay harvest will have comm enced in many i of the southern counties, and the necess it y of employingallhands n the th fields will prevent large deliveries ; other labours incidental e season must follow, and it is not likely, therefore, that the markets will at present be overdone with British-grown grain.

The business done at most of the leading provincial markets held since our last has been on a strictly retail scale ; whilst the weather remained unsettled, a slight increase of confidence was displayed by sellers, but this has since given way.—Mark-lane Express. WHAT THE FRENCH SAY OF SMITHFIELD.—When the Prefet de la Seine decided upon erecting a new market-ball in Paris, previous to the plans being completed a commission was sent out to visit various countries and study the establishments of that kind. It consisted of Messrs. Anger, Inspector-General of Market halls of Paris ; Y. Ballard, architect ; and A. Hasson, chief clerk of the Prefet de la Seine.
