body spoke about Free-trade. But now we ate in this most sincular position, that we have undeniably a Pro tec'iOn Ministry in power, but we are blamed, and the followers of that giuistry are positively hooted, if they 7 s ingle word about the q uestion of Protection.(l"sr" and a laugh.) A Protection meeting is a thing now not to be thou g ht of ;in fact, I believe it is considered to be as dangerous a thing as a convocation of the clergy. (Loud laughter.) It is not expected to end in an harmonious and rational discussion of any queetion of public policy, but in something like a great - complete scuffle, disgraceful to all concerned in it. (Laughter.) But this is very easy to comprehend. The chairman of the Publication Committee of the Protection society, that once met at 17, Old Bond• street, is now transformed into a Secretary of th© Admiralty. (A laugh.) Major Beresford (groans and hisses), who was whipper-in to the Protection party, is now Secretary-at- War, and if he does not hold his tongue somebody will have to perform on him the duty of whipper-out. (Ltughter and cheers.) Mr. Christopher is by some wonderful transformation made a Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Mr. Bankes, who declared that Free-trade would be ruin to Dorsetahire (hear, hear), becanse he was a lawyer under some unknown title ot Cursitor Baron, is now Judge-Advocate. Sir John Trollope (laughter), another eosin , nt Protectionist, is now at the head of the Poor-law Board. Lord Naas, the son of the Earl of M 3 3 .0, who recently took the ease of the Irish corn millers under his protectien. prep. sir g that liter should be kept out, that Irish mills might be made more prosperous, is now Secretary fur Ireland, Mr. Herries, who was the patron of the ship pirg, is President of the India Board. Sir J. Peking too, who took the sugar planters under his especial pro tection, has been raised from the contemplation of bill, for the regulation of beer-houses to the government of 40 colonies. (Laughter.) And, finally, Mr. Disraeli (laughter and hisses), the patron of all these monopolies, the propounder of every kind of fantastical scheme for the amusement of the country gentlemen, and the barn boozlement of the farmers (hear, hear), is a member of the Cabinet and Chancellor of the Exchequer. A Whig poet wrote a co uple of lines about the Whigs, which may well enough be applied to the Protectionist party : " As bees on flowers alighting cease their hum, So, settling into places, squires are dumb." (Great laughter.) But I take it for granted that such persons throughout the country—farmers and others— who are honestly convinced that Protection is a sound policy, and that these men in office ought to endeavour to advance it, will ask what advantage it is to them that these talking oratorical Protectionists when in opposition should become dumb dogs that cannot bark when in p.,wer. (Laughter.) I certainly anticipate a great and most interesting " breach of promise" case (laughter); and what with corn, and ships, and colonies, Mr. Disrael will be the defendant against the claims of three fair ladies at once. (Renewed laughter.) Now, contrast the position which we, the Free•traders, occupy with that o' the acknowlf dged stereotyped statesmen of this country, Up to the autumn of 1845, the Whigs and the Tories, as a body, were in favour of Protection. In fact. Lora _Duey and his party, and the country gentlemen, for any thine they have said in public, are Protectionist , - still, Our ease, when our meetings were first held in the Corn•exchange of this town, was just as good as it is at this moment; and every man who had thoroughly examined the question, and who was honestly disposed to do that which economic principles and common jus tice pointed out to be right, knew as well then as he knows now, that the case of the Anti-Corn-law League could not be met, and that the corn law was as wicked and uejuet a law as we, in our speeches and writings, have ever described it to be. But the fact is that we are not statesmen. (Laughter.) We are cotton-spinners, and m anufacturers, and bleachers, and printers, and shopkeepers, and traders of all kinds, and professional men. We are not statesmen, and have never pretended to he so. In this country there has been a great gulf fixed between all those interested in industry and the paths of statesmanship; and though we were right 14 years ago, and have been right on this question ever since—though three Cabinets have been wrong, and one of them has not yet put itself right—it is to be held that we are not statesmen, and that those men only who could not see whet was simply right on this great fundamental, al.-absorbing question, ere entitled to describe and to carry out the political policy of the nation. We have not hereditary brains. (Great laughter.) We are " a Jacobin club.'. (Renewed laughter.) That you know en the authority of a gentleman who is a member of the .hthinet, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the ender, at least, of a minority of the House of Commons. Laughter, some hisses, and cheering.) Why, a man vho calls us a Jacobin Club, must think it is not con sistent with loyalty to the Throne to declare that the people of this country shall not be starved. We'll teach him whether we are a Jacobin Club or not, (Lone and prolonged cheering.) But we are the democracy Lord Derby says this, and he must be a high authority, for his blood for twelve generations has flowed at the high level of an Earldom. Yet not all tho ancestors of the Stanleys ever did ono- thousandth part so much to give comfort and tranquillity to tliie country as we. the democracy of the Anti• Corn-law Lague, have done. (Loud cheers.) But we aro also something elee, if possible, worse. We arc, according to the dictum of a man of noble family, whom a metropolitan constituency thought it their duty to reject as their re presentative in Parliament, the anticipated deluge. (Great laughter.) Well, I believe the Bins," the gen tlemen who are in office, always endeavour to persude the country that after them nothing can be looked for but a deluge and national dustrurtion. The Whig Government said something very like this to you. The) " Don't turn the Whigs out until yen have found somebody to supply their places." The present Govern ment, " Den% turn us out ; it is better to --e ' Bear the ills you have, "' Then fly to others that you know not of.'" (Great lath, h ter.) On this platform we have nevi been partizans of any Gov,,ramunt. We have never fec tiousfy allied ourselves with any party in order to over throw uny Cabinet. We have stood here, as we steno here to-night the pledged defenders of the sacred right of industry to the people of this country ; and no pro teetations of any kind, no offers from any quarter, have ever sufficed, or will ever suffice, to turn us one hair's breadth from our duty on that great question. (Cheers.) But theta does act m a probability th It the Anti-Corn-law League will, in fact, in a very abort period become is matter of history, and it is usual when some one of great value and of great virtues passes from among us that something should be said of bet character, and that some lessons should be drawn from it for the benefit of these who survive. Now, ask yourselves this question,—Why was the core law pessed at all in 1815 ? (Hear, hear.) Follow that up with another question,—Why did the corn law, uncle, - delerent shapes, all about equally objectionable, remain upon the etatute• hook of this free country from 1815 to 1846? There was not a moment during those 30 years whet, that corn law was not an offence in the sight 01 Heaven, and a flagrant violation of the rights of every industrious man in this kingdom. (Hear, hear, and chef es.) We don't speak of the Crown—the Crown had little—probebly nothing—!o do with that law. It could never be the interest of a monarch of this, or any other country. to have such a law as that afflicting millions of his subjects. I say not much of the House ot Lords, for, unhappily-, too many members of that house have been educated in the belief that they have some here ditary claim to settle themselves upon the industry of the people of this country. (Hear, hear, and cheers,) Of the House of Commons, however, I will say this mach,—that it was composed in 1815, and up to 1832, and that in a lesser degree it is now composed, of lords and squires, the humble servants, the family relations, or connected by kindred and by interest with the great territorial aristocracy who are enthroned in th.s House of Lords. (Hear, hear) If you had had a real representation in 1815,—if the people of this country hart not been led into that awful strife aga inst what were called French principles,—if he had not added 500,000,000/. at leant to the national debt during that period.—in all probability, before 1815, you would hare had a better representation of the people in the House of Commons; and if, at any time subsequently to 1815, such an improved representation had existed that corn law must have fallen amid the execrations of the people, on some one of those several occasions when distress was spread throughout almost all ranks. Yet, after enduring to 1838, it required seven years of labour —of public meetings—or such an employment of the printing-press for political objects, as this country had never bsfore known, and enormous subscriptions, and, even then, there was a majority of 100 men in the Rouse of Commons against ithe total repeal of the corn laws, and oily from 80 to 100 votes, I believe, were ever records d in tuveur f such a proposition. Finally, it required an Irish famine in 1846,—such a famine as h 4.1 not been knot: r. in Europe for cern turten—it required that a cit amity should overtake one-third of the United Kingdom, under which and its immediate consequences, 250,000 dwellings of 6 ,. ur countrymen have been swept away,—more than e ve times the numbtr of houses in Manchester,—and t a e) eopuletion of Ireland has been diminished by 2 ,000,000 (for that part of the kingdom has, at this na ''` l 'eut, no greater population than it had more than 30 Q hey of 1:1 3 ago)—to satisfy Parliament of the impo penalties sho r a n w lel o . be It was necessary that all these heavy are paid, that all these awful sufferings— whichnever be ade " ci e u r l d t ed in another world, but which can dured before your ety described in this—should be en intended not to ctinetitution (ill framed, ill adapted, would act upm, work), v i ne ,and your House of Commons the requirements of the intelligent of common justice, or obey and industrious popu lation of the kingitm, aftera(gear,ear, hear.) But when the the this experience, House of Commons, were con vinced and converted, and pal corn laws were finally abolished, what are we to think of the now o ccu pyi ng the the conduct of the Adm i n i s tration at present in power, pub li c ofnce.s, now meeting fn Cabin e t C ouncil Pate the neeeh of the and whit per i al Parliament ? Sov is ereign on are naw about to pre we are 5(1 thi n k a a a c ' .. , k the eceeine, of the Im Hs experience, you Ilhat, after t not yet converted? Ought it not to be pointed at with indignation and scorn, and hurled from their seat iti f l The :act is that, as an industrial people of , backs. Under your - we carry the aristocracy en our represen tative system Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham are dwarfed in the House of Cumawns to the size cf B art wich, 'Thetford, and Totnes, and the whole population, and ail the electors of those three boroughs are very much smaller—nay, do not even approach near—to the population of a single ward in this borough of Man chester. lam of opinion that where there are popula tion, industry, wealth, and intelli tt ence, if we have a free constitution at ad. there must be p ower, and if this be not granted, then, I say, that our cons titution is a sham, and our representation is an imposture. (Cheers-) I am not anxious that we should have other great move ments for great objects. myself h ave bad much cf political agitation that nothing but the most impera tive and overwhelming sense of public duty would itoluee me to ec.)nnect myself with anything further of the kind: but I do believe that we owe it to postetity at) to (=viva that we should learn a lesson from this great movement which is about to terminate, and that we ought, if we eit, during our generation, to make the course of our children, and of their children, easier in procuring such political amelioration and changes as the circumstances of the country may require. (Cheers.) The patriotism of our day does not consist in the destruction of monar chies or the change of dynasties. Our fathers wrested the institution of an annual Parliament from unwilling and despotic monarchs. Be it ours—and I speak to those who can do it if we will it (cheers) —be it ours to wrest a real House of Commons from a haughty no- 1 bility, and to secure the lasting greatness of this nation on the broad foundations of a tree Parliament and a free people. (Loud and enthusiastic cheering.) . Mr. BAZELEY proposed the next sentiment, " The Irish members present ; may the industry of Ireland flourish," which was received with great cheering. Mr. KECGLI said it was very important on the part of the United IViegdoes to have the verdict of the Iri sh members ascertained upon the questions of Free-trade, and this for many reasons, and not the least because of :he conduct of the present men who now composed her Majesty's Government ; for, at the time the great battle was successfully fought, efforts were made in that por tion of the country to turn away the attention of the people from the voice of those who advised them for [heir great advantage, and no shift, or cunning, or arti fice was lett unpracticed to deceive his fellow-country men lees promised in political knowledge, by playing upon their seeming interest, in order to induce them to juin with a factious oligarchy in a conspiracy to cheat the people of Great Britain out of their rights. Not withstanding the sophism resorted to on that oc casion, he could proudly boast of their conduct, and be asked the representatives of Manches ter and others present whether, in this great struggle, the Irish members or people deserted them in the contest. (Cheers, and cries of "No I") The Hoe. Member then alluded to the arts used on the accession of the present Government to power to form a minority into a majority of the House of Commons, and then asked what position the country would have been placed in now if Ireland had returned 65 members to consider what Mr. Disraeli called the " irresistible" claims of that portion of her Majesty's dominions. (Hear.) But he was happy to say that he believed three-fourths of the , epresentatives of Ireland were as determined as any men in that room to stand—(cheers) —through weal and through woo, despite all calumny and obloquy, against my attempt again to tax th© food of the people of this country. (Loud cheering.) This being the case, their position was perfectly secure. After referring to the conduct of tho present Government, he said that the Irish Members were charged with sympathizing with yranny and despotism, bat he was there to declare that :hey sympathized with no tyranny abroad, and they sbeyed no tyranny at home. (Here the whole company r )se, and the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs lasted or some time.) Having long experienced, under the refyinte far which they were not answerable, crushing de- Totiovn themselves, they must be as bereft of mind as ievoid of feeling if they sympathized with any one that -yrannized over the bodies or the consciences of men. (Great cheering.) Mr. BERKELEY, M.P. for Bristol, responded, and said he had to express the great indebtedness which the people of Bristol felt for the exertions made by the Anti-Corn-law League through a succession of years, in placing a great question on its proper footing in their ancient city. He then proceeded to show that the repeal of the Corn-laws had so operated upon the inde pendence of the people of Bristol, and was of so much !nterest to them that, though upon two occasions, in 1837 and 1841, he had been returned as their represen tative by small majorities only—in 1841 it was only sixty in a constituency of 10,000—yet in 1847, when Sir Robert Peel bad placed his policy before the country, he (Mr. Berkeley) was returned as a Free-trader by a majority of 1,700, and at the last election the son of Colonel Gore Langton, an old reformer, was sent as his colleague, the first time for a long period that Bristol bad sent two reformers. He advocated the ballot as a necessity in all free elections. Mr. Mseesna GIBsoN proposed " Free Trade ; the best interest of all nations." The Bight Honourable Gentleman said they had the satisfaction of knowing chat Free-trade had supporters now in nearly all civilized nations, and in the United States ho believed this was the very day when ho hoped a large majority of the people of that country would elect a Free-trade president, and thus settlo finally and irrevocably in that country, this great question, he entirely concurred with 'Ar. Cobden that some decided course should be taken at :he earliest possible period of the approaching Parlia ment to bring the Ministers to an emphatic avowal of heir present opinions, and their future intentions, upon ,hat question; and as Mr. Cobden and his friends were about to be declared to be in the right, be thought they ,hould have some hand in dictating the terms of the apology. Ho would be satisfied with nothing less than that the Minister of the Crown should avow that the admission of foreign corn into this country had been a 'great and beneficial policy, and ought to be maintained. (Cheers.) They bad a precedent to protect them in toe course which it was expected Mr. Cobden would take, at au early period in the coming Parliament, of moving a distinct resolution which must bring Ministers to book, for when an appeal was made to the country in 1841, upon the question of Protection, and a Protectionist majority was returned, an amendment was moved on the address to the Crown, pledging the Com mons to act in harmony with the wishes of the people. Let Mr Cobden tell the House what Mr Stuart Wortley old them then. Let him say, "You have appealed to he country upon the question of Free-trade. I am the Member fur trio largest constituency in the country, and I call upon you to declare your principles on that sub ject." (Cheer s .) Lord GODERICLi responded to a sentiment asserting he universality of the application of Free-trade prin ciples. He proceeded to say that our Government might say they tveuai not interfere with the policy of Free trade, cud some of the constituencies might believe them; out what would be the feeling of foreign nations when they saw a Protectionist Government in office? Why, it would be impossible to persuade them that this country adhered as firmly as ever to Free-trade principles (Hear, hear.) Again, it was said by apologists of the Ministry that they did not intend to reverse Free-trade. But that eas not enough. (Hear, hear.) They must not only not go back, but they must be prepared to go torward before the people could trust them. (Cheers.) Mr CIIEETUAM, the new member for South Lanca shire, next brie fly addressed the meeting, after which the proceedings terminated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 2.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAIL- WAY-(THIS DAY) A special general meeting of the proprietors of the London and North-Western. Railway was held this afternoon, at the Euston-square Station, for the purpose of considering, and if approved of, authorizing an amal gamation with the Midland Company. The chair was occupied by Mr. Smith, the deputy-chairman of the board of directors. The advertisement convening the meeting hiring been read by Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the company, The CHAIRMAN said the shareholders had already been put in possession of the views of the directors, through the medium of a circular which would now be read : TO THE PROPRIETORS OF THE LONDON AND NORTH• WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. " Experience has satiated the directors of the London and North-Western and Midland Companies that it would conduce to the stability of the undertakings, and to the c ,nvenience and advantage of the public if the co-operation (based on an identity of interest) which has subsisted for some years in working the two un dertakings were rendered more complete and perma nent; and they have determined, thererfore, by an unanimous resolution of each board, to recommend for adoption by their respective proprietors an agree ment to apply to Parliament for a Bill to amalgamate the companies, on terms to be settled by referees of high standing. The directors are led to recommend this course, from a conviction that by such means alone can they obtain the full advantages to be de rived from the existing arrangements, or secure with certainly an uninterrupted continuation of that cordial co-operation in the working of the two undertakings which is essential to the welfare of the proprietors, and to the interests of the public. In addition to the special reasons in favour of an amalgamation of these two companies, experience is daily proving, beyond all question, that a state of hostile rivalry between railway companies leads, of necessity, to great and general in convenience, and to a needless and wasteful expendi ture in the conduct of the traffic common to both, without any corresponding advantage to the public ; and leads also to the outlay, year by year, of large amounts of capital in the construction of duplicate lines and stations, instead of being devoted, as the interests of the country dictate, to the wants of towns and districts still devoid of railway facilities." The CHAIRMAN said he held his present position in consequence of the retirement of Mr. Glyn, who bad so long and so ably occupied the chair, and it would be his duty to move the resolutions. The subject of the amalgamation had long engaged the attention of the boards of the two companies, and he was authorized to state that tho two boards were unanimous in recom mending the proposed amalgamation. (Hear, hear.) Both companies had already had considerable experience in amalgamations generally ; and great as the recent de pression of railway property had been, it must be evident to every one who was conversant with the question, that it must have been much greater had not many lines which were formerly independent, been united together. (Hear, hear.) Parliament, by granting a large number of schemes which had since been carried out, had ren dered amalgamations necessary, but it was always in nded, indeed the very nature and position of the lines embraced by the two companies rendered it absolutely necessary, that the two boards should be constantly working together. (Hear, bear.) The present proposal, therefore was brought forward for the purpose of strengthening that harmony ; and he was satisfied that there could be no possible objection to it. (Hear, hear.) Competition in railways was impossible, the rules of Free-trade in fact did not apply to such undertakings. We might have a hundred grocers or drapers in the same town, but they could not have a hundred railways there, and since it had been admittedby the best autho rities, such as the Board of Trade and Lord Dalhousie, Mr. Denison, Chairman of the Great Northern ; and Mr. Russell, Chairman of the Great Western—that competitio❑ in railways injured instead of benefiting the public, there ought to be no resistance to the proposed amalgamation. (Hear.) The facilities of travelling were increased by amalgamations, as the union of the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction lines proved for the union, secured an uninterrupted communication without change of carriage between London and Liver pool, and the public was thus enabled to travel with far more ease and security than they could do before the fusion took place. (Hear, hear.) He knew of his own knowledge that Mr. Glyn was favourable to amalgama tions, and as the directors were in a position to prove to Parliament, that the amalgamation would not damage the public while it would benefit the proprietary bodie s of the two concerns. (Hear, hear.) Ile repeated that railways must continuo to be regulated monopolies, nothing could change it,—but here the question of com petition did not arise, because there was no competition, and never had been any between the London and North Western, and the Midland Companies, and all that this amalgamation was intended to accomplish, was simply to prevent the intrcduction c•f a third party into the management of the Midland Company who should be calculated to disturb the good understanding which he had already referred to. (Hear, hear.) Ho had now to propose the following re solution for the adoption of the meeting i— " That it is expedient to affect a permanent union of interest between the London and North Western and Midland Railway Companies, and to amalgamate the undertakings on the following terms, namely:—That the relative values of the two undertakings be ascer tained and fixed by three referees of high standing; that their decision be given after the passing of the Act of Amalgamation; but in case the first application to Par liament fails, further application shall be made in the following and ensuing session, and it shall be competent for either company at once to call upon the referees to fix the relative value of the two undertakings; such values to be, in any case, fixed after 31st December, 1838. Mr. JEVONS complained that due notice had not been given of this meeting, and afterwards went into a num ner of figures to show that amalgamation had been ruin ous to the old proprietors of the London and Birming ham line. The Grand Junction was largely benefited by the union of the two companies; but the London and Birmingham proprietors were large sufferers by it. (Hear.) Now, he was of opinion that this amalgamation, if ulti mately carried out, would be attended by a like result. And while the Midland Company would be large gainers by the bargain, the London and North Western Com pany would be great losers by it. (Hear, hoar.) He was told that the real object of this proposal was to enable the London and North Western Company to run trains over the Bristol and Birmingham Line to Bristol against the Great Western, and thus the company would be again dragged into another battle of gauges. (Hear, hear.) He called upon the directors for the sake of their own characters, as well as for the sake of securing the interests of the company, to adjourn this meeting in order that the shareholders might have more time to decision The C to-day, or theysaid w th e e od di .h re e e t t o o o rs tat m e u f s o t r e pr a e r a li s am fo e r n a t consider the import a nt p roposa l.

(H ear , hear.) g The atantmast said it was impossible to obtain a more eligible mode of adjusting the terms than that mentioned in the circular. (Hear, hear.) A SHAREHOLDER asked it there was any truth in the report relative to running the Bristol against the Great Western. The CHAIRMAN said there was no foundation whatever for the report. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SAINSBURY objected to passing the resolution until they were in possession of some more extended datl upon the subject of the proposed amalgamation— (hoar. hear)—and pressed the directors to adjourn the meeting. (Hear, hoar.) He should be glad to know what the opinion of the groat body of the proprietors was upon the matter. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said the proxies sent in to support th resolution represented 2,700,000/. worth of stock, while the proxies sent against it did not reach,loo,oool. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GEACH, M.P., opposed the idea of adjourning the meeting, and spoke at some length in favour of the pro posed amalgamation, believing as be did, that it would be greatly to their own advantage, while it would, at t h ' same time, confer additional benefits upon the travelling public. (Hear, hear.) In reply to further questions, The CHAIRMAN stated that the names which bad sug gested themselves to the directors as those which ought to be proposed to the Midland Company as referees, were those of the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Granville, Sir James Graham, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and Mr. J. B. Hope. The reason why the 31st of December had been fixed upon for taking the calculation was simply because it would enable the referees to have a whole twelve months' traffic before them when they came to consider the terms. (Hear, hear.) A SEIAREHOLDER said he knew enough of Mr. Glynn to satiety him that Mr. Glynn would have been present to-day had he approved of the proposal. (Hear, hoar.) The CHAIRMAN said ho could remove the hon. pro prietor's doubts upon that point. Mr. Glynn did approve of the amalgamation, and had sent his proxy in favour of it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DICKENSON moved, as an amendment, that this meeting be adjourned until this day six mouths. The amendment having been seconded, Mr. PUNCHARD asked if the decision of the referees was to be final after the passing of the act, or would the shareholders have the option of rejecting it ? The CHAIRMAN said the decision of the referees it was intended should be final and conclusive. In reply to another question, The iIAIRINIAN said he could not say that there bad been any infraction on the part of the Midland of the working agreement that now existed between the two com p ani es ; but difficulties and obstructions had arisen in reference to it. (Hoar, hear.) For instance, the Chair man of the Great Northern bad made overtures to the liiidlauti for au amalgamation, 50c1 the propo)§l that FRANCE. It is stated as certain that the Senatus Consulte will make the Imperial Crown hereditary in the per son of Louis Napoleon and his male descendants ; and in the event of his not leaving male issue, in the per son of his adopted son ; and, should the lattter die without male issue, in the person of the ex-King Jerome and his family. The Courrier de Marseille publishes the following address of the Syndic of the body of the Commercial Brokers of that city to the Prince President : " The Syndic and Deputy Syndics of the commercial Brokers of Marseilles to His Imperial Highness Prince Louis Napoleon, " Mo❑seigneur,—Permit the Syndical Chamber of Commercial Brokers of Marseilles, as the organ of that body, to unite its wishes to the acclamation of Faance, and to the appeal which she addresses to you. It has been twice reserved to your family to put an end to our civil dtssonsions, and to found a just and strong Govern ment on the basis of the entire suffrage of the nation. The great tuan,whose great work you are called on to continue had time, in spite of the agitations of war, to remodel our laws, to develop all the greatness of the country, and to lay the foundations of its magnificent future. To you Monseigneur, it belongs to complete this work of genius, and Heaven invites you to it by securing that fruitful peace, which the glorious founder of the Empire sought ini vain. You said truly, Prince, L'Empire c'est la paix!' for it sums up the intelligent force which pacifies, and the active will which everywhere extends happiness. We also, who live by commere, tell you in our turn, with our hearts full of hope, Commerce is peace, for it unites na'ions, and makes the community of 'their wants the bonds of their true fraternity. The Government and the labourers have the same object before them ; the conquests of civilization are the most real and most durable, and already the sympathetic effervescence which leads towards you all the useful and moral forces of the nation is for us a cer tain sign of the tranquility of the world. Hesitate then no longer, Monseigneur, when France herself de clarea the authority which she wishes to place in your hands ca❑ no longer subsist under a denomination which does not convey her idea. The Empire was already in our votes ; it is in the wants of the country, it is in the universal enthusiasm of France, it is in your providen tial mission; the Empire already exists. Do not refuse it the only force which is wanting to it—the powerful name which sums up the tutelary authority, and which is to put an end to the uncertainties of the future. Deign, Monseigneur, to accept the respectful homage of our gratitude and of our entire devotedness." THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Sir H.

The resolution was then put and carried, after which thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting terminated. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Nov. 2.—By the Ash' we are advised that three weeks of good weather had greatly improved the appearance of the cotton crop; promising to com pensate for any partial damage by rot, and, according to the altered opinion prevalent at the moment, holding out the prospect of 3,000,000 bales. Not a word is said about frost. Holders had come as free sellers; and the markets were dull, with pri.lea in favour of buyers, though but slightly so. Messrs. J. B. Toulmin and Son, writing from Mobile on the 11th instcnt, says—" A few weeks ago there was great complaint of rot; since then, however, the crop is yielding so abundantly as to more than make up for the loss of the middle crop. The weather tbis morning was very cool, and we should think very favourable to the crop. Sales of cotton on Saturday 400 to 600 bales; prices easier. Middling, Sao. to 91c., but no vessel here." And Messrs. Morton, Toulmin, and Co. of New Orleans, state, October 11, that " the accounts from the interior in regard to the yield of the cotton crop are very contradictory. Many persons here differ widely in their estimates, owing chiefly to the reports of the 'dry rot' in the crop. It is very hard now to say what it will bo ; but judging from all appearances up to this time, we think it will not be far short, it any, of that of last season. Tho writer has seen two or three different factors' office samples of the dry rot,' and he thinks that if it should spread to any extent, that it cannot do otherwise than be very injurious to the crop." RCCIIDALE, NOT. I.—There is little or no change in the flAnnel market to•dry; both the demand and prices are much the same as they were on the previous Mon day. The wool market has been tolerrbly good, and better prices have been obtain Gd. HALIFAX, OCT' 30.—The quantity of worsted goods whicn have changed hands in our piece hall to-day has not been large. The manufacturers are asking higher prices, to meet the advance cost of the raw material, and this has given a check to sales. Much more business would probably have been done if they had been willing to accept the prices current a few weeks ego Yarns ere looking up; and, in most instances, the spin ners have realized improved rates, though scarcely equal to the increased stock of the raw material. The wool market is hardly so active as it was, and the quotations are a shade higher. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 2.—The demand for thick wool len fancies has been about an average one for the sea son; but scarcely so much has been done to-day in the cloth hall as last week, as the home market is pretty well supplied with heavy goods for the winter season. Trade in the warehouses continues dull, with one or two exceptions, where patterns for spring goods are stirring. BANKRUPTS.

Taylor and Bright's Circular statcs vats continue modcra!e, and a good consumptive demand takes every article off from the ship ; granaried parcels meanwhile suffer diminution. The weather has been stormy, and much wet has fallen. We had to-day s fait supply of wheat from our own neighbouring fartner. ; without any great briskness the market was fully as dear for all fresh df seriptions of new grain, with no alteration in the value of secondary and out-ofccondition Foreign wheat more inquired for, without much hinnies, resulting. Nut much malting barley offering at preae lit t and the high prices at which grinding is held throws consumption on other feeding articles.
