There was another Bill, which would be laid before them, to sanction, the extension of th e main line, the West London line, which the directors recommeryied to the-ape proval of the peoprietora. The next was the Wetford, St. Albans and Dunstable. The only two other. Bills which remsined foe his notice were—first, one for the making of a smell branch line at or no Wolverton, -t o the t own of Neweort Pagntl, and the second from Northampton to Weedon. The Chair.. man then proceeded to auimadvert on the iebeervations which had been made by - Mr. Russell, the Chairman of the 'Great Western Railway Company, at. a meeting cf that holy on tint previous day, with respeet the Oxfordshire and Birming ham line; and in the course. of his remarks stated that Mr. Russell had said that it was not till the Lendon and Bir mingham Railway Company had been connected with Mr. Hudson in the purchase of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, that they (the Great Wenern) consented to have anything to do with the Oxford and, Birminghanie line. Tiiis was the first time he (Mr. Givun) was aware that the Company. WAS connected with Mr. find& ei in purchasing the Bri,tel end Birmingham Railway. He thought that Mr. Russell ought to have ascertained what the real facts of Cie case werebefore he ventured to connect the Midland with the London aad Birmingham in thiedransactien. hut he - would now advert to what was really the pith of tee whole matter. 1:1 , 3 would for himself and his colleagues say, that they had ever exhibited tile most anxious desire to keep on terms of ' amity with the Great Western CoMpany. In fact, as far as they ...insistently could, they conceded for the sake of peaee. And now lie would -inform the meeting how the negotiationee whiCh had for some time been pending between the two Com penies, were somewhat abruptly brought to a close. Two gentlemen, one high in the coadence of the Great Western, and the other cotinected with the London and Birmingham, conducted these • negotiations.. The gentleman wlee represented the Great Western, referred from time to time to his . principles, and at last, after- tint days paii , sed in arranging difficulties, the negothtion was epparently broughe to a close,eitaltertal ,- Vdeeltnyen&l - -1 his hand a paper - containing the terms of the -arrangement . Those terms, he repeated,- : were accepted-by either eles:Wßier, e and yet thee -found Mr. Russell stating-that tile -terries which Were proposed by the London and . Birmingham Company were no less than that they (the Great We:tern) should sur render every advantage that they had obtained by the arduous struggle of last year, and that the only equival ;rit offered was "peace, peace," which at least would be of as much be nefit to,the London and Birmingham company as to them selVes. And this' announcement seemed tube received wiLli loud cries rif "Hear, hear." Thee''. would not wonder, therefore, that these terms were deelined, and that there wae no longer any negotiations between the 'Companies. This was, indeed,.verytrue, for kn the night before last the nego• tiations were • brukea up, Atel. '4 - bee did thin rupture all turn 'upon? They'. Wished to. have the traffic from Leantington to London.=i(Hear, hear.) Now let the meeting examine the comparative Merits of the lines of the two Companies. Even as the London and Birmingham then stood, even - now,. by : their circuitous _route by Coven try, they were three miles nearer .than. the Great Western Company, and they gave to the town of Leamington the through advantage of a close station. The Great Western was longer, and they did hot approa l e v t e4 thej l o e w ir e .. l a i Lal matters. be . improved e o ß u u g t h how f ; u c w k o i n u g l hamshire was. completed?, .. Then, instead of lilte.the Great Western having a line of one hundred and six miles in length, they would have a line:of Only eighty-nine miles long. He. must do the gentleman seho• - represented the Great Western: the . henour to. say, that he at once abandoned the mint that the traffic of Leamington belonged to the, Great Wettern. But the . Great .Weseernasked that the town of Dudley should 'be given tip to then.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.") That proposition not being conceded,' - the' Great Western would not attempt to enter upon - any- other arrangements. He thought , that Mr. -.Russell , should have inquired calmly - icto the facts, especially as he must be well aware that 'they would be explained at that meeting, instead of mahing statements other than those that were justified by the real circumstances of the case. He *as sorry that he had been obliged to occupy their time so long, but he telt that it was only due to himself, to e his col- leagues, and to the shareholders themselves, that the London and Birmit ghat'? Company should be put right before the World: - 'He had not had an' opportunity of ;ping through the whole of Mr. Russell's speech, as the newspaper Which contained it: had only been. put LIM his hands just before the business of the meeting hae commenced, but lie had refereed to these points ire order to satisfy the minds of the gentlemen present t hat no effarte bed been left untried 'them to bring those ucgociationston peaceful termination.

Mr. Ilittinfoo.as slid not thirds the course purtie.d. by t :to Lord +lTayer was regular, as ctlter deasi tees h been name It , t the court, and he therefore moved that the requisition should not he taken into consideration. .Mr. however. ultis rattly withdrew this, after ho had•c cated.much Mr. L.AWKENcE propased that the requiaitiou shouid• be received. The Itccounacit was sure that•the Lord Mayiriliad'not re - collected, if he was ever swine of, the notice given in'the - paps r by Mr. Wire, that the petition should be taken into considera tion by the Court itnniediately after thw busiziers of, the Irish Society had been closed. • Mr. ,Wtaie said he confesed, - after havk g o n , 0 an occasion requested his Lordsh.p's attest' on,' and this - tentton -of the Court ; to the sante question; : he r would at that time have sat down after . simply re ,dp„ .; , , resolutions founded on the requisition, but for ill peculiar position which_ -the 414.1tInti at present copied. He would, however, say a few words, sod but a few, in support of the subject, lest the Honourable Gent2e... , men, if any there were in that Court—(Great laughter, which continued for saint time ; when it had setteded, Mr. Wire continued)--the Honourable Gentlemen, if an . , were in. that Court, avi k oppo:ed the I:etition; Might say that.th em e Suppitrtersnithat petition - had contributed neither fact s , feelings, nor reason, in favour of their cause.—(Hear, hear.) Hs- would not, however, detain them long, especially, alter a resolution had been passed by that Court,• expressing their commisscration with the depressed circumstances of the people of Ireland, and their opinion that it ' was the duty of the Legislature to take the facts into their consideration in order to devising a speecy remedv.—( Hear, hear.) That Court had alwals been forward in the cause of the people and of commerce, and it stood, therefore, at that moment in a position .inure enviable than the Commons House of Parliament. Front - time - to time they had express-el their mind on the advantageS that woad etc.-rue to the n a il, : 'rum free trade, the truth of which wasrite., admitted nu all harats. And in the Parhardent the leaders , en hurt 5.1040. of ~t;.. Hons, deemed that that was a system' which ought to regulate all their commercial tiansactious. '1 he beriefi,s to lie deriv, el front the adoption bf'it weee noronly howiuimitred in the House of Commons—the admission perstouledithe vantleapeople. The conviction which that admission argued has not procipecd so much in consequence of the scarcity of flied, as that the people now began to understand, that great ques•ion. Ile frit it unne cessary, therefore, fel- him teadduc, argumenls beforethe Court in support of free tr4de, - and'the more e , pktially-aftri the con duct of Sir Robeit• - Peel. The Right Hon. Gentlernan at the head of the Government had.earned a debt ofAratitude from all parties; the first Minister of the Crown had come forward and said that the time of restriction was at an end, and not. only on food, but generally on trade.— (Hear.) •They could not, honeser, be satisfied that thht'messnre had beendeferred for three years. 'lii thought that that Court,,whileit spoke of Sir Robert Peel in terms of praise arid gratitude, would nevertheless ask him to .repeal the corn-laws imMediately.— (Cheers. ) He did - riot wish to weary the Cetirt With -argu ments ; he would reserve himaelf for reply, in case any ohjec- tions should be urged against the resolutions which he would now submit.to,the Conrt. He then read resolutions approving of the comprehensive measures of Sir Robert Peel on com merce, anif for the repeal of the corn-laws, but eeprecatirg the repeal of the latter being deferred, and pledging the Court to draw up a petition to Parliament, praying for their imme•• diate and total abolition.

A 11111 for making certain alterations in the line of the West Lon don Railway, and extend the same to the river Thames. A Bill t,) empower the London ati'..l Birmingham Railway C4m.. puny to enlarge their. stations tiMY Euston-square, and at Camden town, in the county of 4riddly3e & , A „ t ,„ : In the course of these proccedinga i atid while the question that the Bill to authorise ariangemehts. between the London and Birmingham Railway Company and the proprietors of the Birmingham Canal Navigation was before the meeting, The CuAritmAx of the latter Company stated that the arrangements between these Companies were calculated ,tu he highly sati,f,ic:o'ry, rot only to those interested in them, but to the country generally. A very great - increase, of frac 'would flow on' to the Birmingham' and London **ray, consequence of not less than four'million tons on having been conveyed upon the canal in the course ot . the past year, and this amount would probably be greatly increased on account of the readier accdss to the great mar kets of the kingdom. He deprecated the contests which were constantly arising between great compaAce and believed that a majori:y of the ephemeral schemes of last year owed their origin te these dl:putes. LEDN'fp:all thought that they'oughf to reduce their 4'reiglts to the minost r tor not only lied they to compete with Ike-Great ,West ern .but with Naother pawerfuLConapany, , ithe 'Urea Manchester, and wheu Ire said that the promoters of that Company were' business men, he need only mention the fact that. many of them belonged to the 1.•• ague. The CHAIRMAN was not aware that the supporters ,of that line were members of the Anti-Corn-law League. He did know that they were Manchester merchants, who looked more to the facility that .would be given for the transmis sion of their g, ? ods than to the comfort of their passengers. Mr. CROSSWAITHE proposed a •vote of thanks to the Chair man and Direetors, Which *as-carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then briefly returned: thanks, and incident ally stated that the London and . Birmingham fares wer, in the year 1846, as. compared with 1844, as follows :—Firat class passengers paid now" exactly what they had in 1844 paid for -tf - recond class conveyance. In 1844 they paid to Birmingham :for-theqirst:class' 605., and in some carriages 655., now they paid 265,,Gd. ; while for the second-class they paid 50s. and 405., which was now reduced to 18s. 6d.

He (Mr. 'Jones) wished to be consistent himself, and he wished the Court to be consistent also. He' for one could not petition for an immediate repeal.

TEE LATE MURDER AND SUICIDE IN ARDOUR 11QuABE, COMMERCIAL-ROAD.—LaQt.evening an inquest was held on the bodies. The evidence did not vary materially from the account wh;ch appearediu The Sun of yesterday., =lithe jury, after a_patieot investigation, returned a verdiet, " That the deceased, Jeremiah Spenoe Stark, destroyed himself and wife, Helen, by cutting their throats, while in a State of temporary butanity." The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held at the Company's offices, Euston Station, yesteeday. The meeting was-also a special, one for the put-- pose of submitting to the shareholders the drafts of several Bills proposed to be introduced into Parliament during the present-session, for-the formation of railways mentioned in the .advertisement canvening the meeting. There was an unusually large attendance of shareholders, and near the chairman we ooserved Joshua Procter Westhead, Esq., the chairman of the Manchester and BirMingham Railway Company. ' • GEORGE. CARR Gasretet, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Directors, took the chair at twelve o'clock precisely, and onunenced the business of the day by calling- upon Mr. Be Creed to read the 'advertisernent e which, having been done, the chairman, with the consent of the meeting, affixed , the seal of the Company to the register of the proprietors, and also to the register of the holders of 201., 25/., and 32/. shares. The SeeretuaY then read the minutes of the last meeting, after which The CIiA.qtMAN said that ha believed hon. proprietors were aware, from the advertisement which had appeared in the newspapers, that although this was the usual haleyearly meeting for the passing of the accounts and declaring a (livi d, lid, it was also a special general meeting for the purpose of laying hefore them Acts of Parliament in which this Com pany was particularly interested. He had proposed, consi dering the value of the time of those present, particularly at such a part of the day, to make a few remarks upon the matters which would he brought - under their consi• deration at the special general meeting, as the Bills . had already • passed the standing orders of the House of Lords. However, before he did that, he would say a few words with regard to the dividend which would be shortly proposed for the last half year. The Grand Junction Company had declared that the amalgamation entered into e'with them last half year was satisfactory to them, and lie believed lie might say that it was also satisfac tory to this Company.—(Loud applause.) Since he had had the honour of occupying a seat in the board of this Company, he knew nothing that was so cal culated to give satisfaction not only to the parties concerned, but also to the public at large; as that amalgamation.--e -(Cheers.) • He sincerely rejoiced that it bed fallen to his lot to be a director when that amalgamation was carried out. —(Hear.) But with reference to the accounts it was right that they should know that a very satisfactory result had fol lowed the recent reductions which had been made in the fares. both for passengers and goods. However the dividend. fur this half-year would not be so large as the dividend Of - the corresponding half-year in 1845, because they would all be aware that the last year was one-of -the most extraordinary excitement, and the number of passengers and the amount of traffic passing along. the different lines in England was greater than might be expected for some time to come. That remark applied especially to the amount of goods passing. along• railways. • They- were aware that since the commencement of this year, as regarded passengers, there had been ,a very large reduction in the fares, and. the•directors were also determined to make those rates still lower as soon as it was deemed priident. It was, however, quite impossible fur him to enter into that subject now. They were determined to show the public . that their policy was to: do everything that might . advance the interests of the public at large con sistently with those of themselves.—(Cheers.) Indeed, that was the course which-they had pursued fot years, and he did not, for .bis• : own part, _see. that. a proper reduction in the fares for both passengers and goods at all prejudicechthe in terests of the Company.--( Heaa.hear.) He did not mean to say that, the first of such reductions,. would he a decrease in the income of the - Company,. but ha did not think that, arty reasonable 'man 'would deny that those reductions, under the proper regulation of Parlia • ment, 'eventually tended to the interests of a Company. But whilst they made - reductions on one particular article of traffic, they should alsp take care that a corresponding de creasawas made in t he.rates on other articles. -He believed that they might .learn a. lessen on this head from other railway companies. Foreign Governments took • great care upon this point. • They took care that the -.public should have the advantage of as low rates as possible, but that was not effected ,by giving their sanction to competition. They effected the object by Parliamentary regulations, and that tie believed was the only way in which,' in point of fact, the object could be carried in conceals of the nature.—(Applause.) And although lie was not one of these who.were willing to subscribe to the doctrine quoted by some people, namely, that the cost of a passage from Loudon to Dover should be more, mile for mile, than the cost of a passage from Oat end to Bruxelles, he ,yet believed that the cost of the different articles of food , &c , in each county should be taken into account in regulee ing the rates of fares to.be paid for passages on a Hee. of railway. It must be recollected, that although; the cost .of a passage from London to Dover was as as was paid for a journey on a French railway from Ostend to Bruxelles, yet all the in- cident tl expenses eventually made the cost as large as the fare from London- to Dover • • If the rates for passengers in the foreigtie Jules' were sine% those 'for luggage were error nious—(Hear, hear)'-arid' an ;point of fact made travelling by railwity precieelY as expeneiae as it Yeas in this country. l • It was an extratordinarenthct. (and he did not mention it merely for the -purpose of showing the cheapness of the fares charged by the London- and Birmingham CoMpany, but merely for the purpose of allowing the-eatramtlinary reduc tion which had taken plaoe in the fares of passengers and goods since the formation of railways), it was a fact he re peated of the most extraordinary character, and had been communicated to him the other day by a large carrier—that when the Grand Junction and the London and Birmingham Companies first commenced operations; the cost of one ton of goods between Manchester and London was 41, 10s., and the cost of a similar quantity of goods now. between London and China was only 31. ss. (Great laughter and applause.) He did not say that this ompany could take to themselves the credit of that redue • tion which they hoped to make still more marked, but still lit was a remarkable fact in the statistics of this country as is h ow ing what a vast change had been effected by the !reduction of fares by the different rail Way companies. It !would be clear to those present, that, looking forward as they did to the great increase in traffic which, in point of fact, must yet develop' itself. though those reduced rates, the accommodation which the Company had at present for its re ception-would not be sufficient. They had, therefore, niade a very large and considerable purchase from the Duke of Bedford, for the purpose of increasing the accommodation at the Euston station, and the directors would now ask the leave of the proprietors to Complete that purchase. The directors alio proposed to enlarge the accommodation provided 14 the -Company at Birmingham, if power were given to them- by the proprietors. The proposed site would be in the very best position in Birmingham, especially in reference to the traffie which was expected from Wolverhampton and Dudley, was proposed to expend rather large sums in the erection of the two contemplated stations. Those proposed additional accommodations would be made solely for the purpose of meeting the increased requirements of the public; and that would show the public that they were determined to de serve their confidence. This liberal conduct on the part of the Company, he felt satisfied, would also gain the. sanc tion, rather than the discouragement, of Parliament. As regarded the different projects which the directorshad in view, he thought he need not enter into a great discussion about them ; but he would draw the attention of the pro prietors present to a few of them which called for some brief remarks. One the Bills which would that day. be brought under their consideration was, "A Bill for authorising certain arrangementsbetween the Londonpnd Birmingham Railway Company, and the Company of proprietors of the Birmingham Canal Navigations with reference to the purchase, leasing, or use of the said navigations." He made mention oft his Bill first, because the directors some time ago thought that such an arrangement would contribute considerably to the prosperity of this Company, and they were not now at all disposed to disturb that arrangement or alter their views. The next project to which he would refer was also one which he believed would be most advantageous to the Company if carried out, and that was the formation of the Buckinghamshire Railway. There were too Bills for that project. He mentioned that fact be cause he believed that some honourable proprietors, then pre sent, had complained that the directors had proposed theiri trodtiction of an unusually large number of Bills into Par liament during the present session. Now, the fact was, that in some instances there were two, and in some instances, three and four Bills for one and the same project, a step which had been recommended by their Parliamentary advisers. The Buckinghamshire line would connect this Com pany's main line with Banbury, Buckingham, and Aylesbury. It would also connect this Company's line with the Warwickshire line, which would form one of the very best cfanmunications between that part of the country and Cheltenham ; it would also give the best and shortest com munication between Leamington and Warwick, as well as tßhuisckeinongitpiaamnyawndastheengmageetdrov,p,oals. sitheTexheterniesxiotal(i)fnetheinlinesei;iich ito the town of Leamington, which was in point of tact a_ mere local line, but it was one which the Inhabitants were very anxious to have made. The remuneration arising out of the traffic on that line would be exceedingly small. The next projeet would be an extension to which he had already al luded, viz. the extension of . the line into the heart and centre of Birmingham. The 'text was the Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Ras way. This project he mentioned to them in August lasi. The directors had. arranged that the Birmingham, Canal Company, and the Shrewsbury and BirMingliam Rail way should have a third of the interest in that railway, and this Company two-thirds. That project was also sanctioned at the meeting held in August last. The next Bill which would be laid bdfore them was one for formally carrying out the arrangement to which he had alluded, and which had given so much satisfaction to all parties, viz., the amelga matien ol,this Company with the Manchesterand Birmingham Company. That subject, be was sure, would not require a single observation from him. He believed he had now gored over all the Bills in which they were themselves immediately con cerned, and he would, therefore, proceed to make some ob servations with respect to those projected undertakings in which they would become partners. The first of those pro jects was the Rugby, Leamington, and Warwick Railway. That was a short line, and very strongly supported in. that part of the country, and was one, he believed, whiche would prove very advantageous and remunerative to the Company. The Bill had already Rassed the standing orders in the HOua3, f Lords. The capital which this Company would have to subscribe would be 450,0001. The next project was the North amptom Ban bury, and Cheltenham Railway, which would pass, as they might be aware, through a very extensive district of the country; the capital to be subscribed by this Company would be 300,0001. The line he had reason to be lieve would be a very remunerative me. ,The next project would be the formation of a railway from or near the Blisworth station to the towns of Banbury and Cheltenham. He had spoken upon the advantages of such a line at the meeting held in August last. It was one which wrwithhe very cheap in its construction and was called for by the inha bitants of that district. There was also another line in -the formation of which they would receive a considerable smoutjt of support from other parties, and that was the proposed litre from Rugby to join the Midland Counties line at Stamford. The district through which it would pass was a very rich one, and the traffic was considerable: they would, .in point of fact, realise such advantages from that undertaking as they had already reaped from the Peterborough line. The next line mentioned in the advertisement was the extension of the, line at Camden-town to Farrinplon-street. At ptwent the directors did not sanction the extension of the , line into the heart.. of. the metropolis, on account of the enormous expense which , the would subject themselves to in pulling down property to carry out that extension. That project would, therefore (for the present, at any rate), be abandoned.—(Applause.) "As regards the Chest er an d H o l y h ea d RallWay •in which the Company's stake is the largest, the engineer, Mi.'Robett Stephenson, reports that the experiments which have been made for the purpose of testing the efficiency of his plan of bridge over the Menai Straits, having fully verified his calculations, the construction will commence at au early period. The reports of. the Directors on that line are equally sat sfactery as to the progress made with the other works. "In addition to Bills for projected lines In which this Company is interested, and the objects of which have been already stated to the proprietors at former meetings, the directors have considered it ex pedient that a branch shall be made i to unite the town of Stamford with the main line at Rugby, In the view of completing, without whit h the public acconamodatlon in that district would be imper fectly provi ed for. " The directors have also taken a portion in the line for connecting the Camden Goods Station with the East and West India Dock, for which a Bill is now before Parliament. " The directors, in pursuance of the fourth resolution of the last half-yearly meeting, have elected the following five directors, viz.:— Hon. Colonel,Georktas Anson, M.P., John Bestbow, Esq., M.P., Jelin Ellis, Esq., Edward Tootal, Esq , and Joshua Proctor Westhead, Esq. • and they have also elected Frank Somerville Head, Es.q., to ell the vacancy caused by the retirement of Booed Garnett, Esq. " The tellowing directors go out of office at the present meeting, and are re-eligible :—Pascoe St. Leger Grenfell, Esq., David Hodg son, Esq., Joseph Frederick Ledsam, Esq., Captain Constantine It. aloorsom, R.N., John Lewis Prevost, Esq., and Thomas Smith, Esq. Resolutions receiving the report, and confirming the divi dend announced therein, were then put trona the chair, and carried unanimously. Mr. AmmtxusT, in connexicn with many gentlemen from the north, moved, in terms-of a notice given at a previous meeting, that the shareholders residing in the country should be permitted a free passage to attend the meetings of the Company, and as it was sometimes impossible that they could arrive in town and depart on the same day, that they be permitted to come tip on the day before the meeting and leave, town the day after. The resolution was seconded. A long discussion cnsued, the great body of the meetiog affirming that system was likely to lead to abuses, and that as the dividends were suffi ciently ample, the share holders tresolution should pay their fares. Oil th; question bein g put, db 3 an Immense majority. Mr. SPARROW thought that while so many improvements t hi s evil would be remedi e d. of the retenti o n o f goo d s at should not be overlooked. were in con te was mpla gtniten.attivhe providing of a larger b oar d- room The CHAIRMAN intimated that wh en the extensions at the the Crewe station ; impute d no blame to the mana gers of that department at the Euston s tation ; their arran g eme nts were stati on ll , tn w D e rc re x c e; l so n perfect, but he thought t hat a little surveillan ce would im prove the stations further down t he . c onntry. The CHAIRMAN said that • they could not al ways control completed, complained private carriers, to whom the g oods mi ght be consigned after leaving the railway, but he would nuke inquiry into the matter complained of. This completed the business of the general meeting, and the shareholders formally adjourned. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of ap provii% r the Bills referred. o in the Chairman' s a dd ress . The following Bills were then severally put from the chair and unanimously approved of by the meeting : Three Bids to authoris - e the construction of railways from the London and Birmingham ifailway ; one of such railways front or near the Harrow Station to Aylesbury; another thereof from or near the Tang* Station to Banbury ; another thereof from or near the Bletchiey Station to the city of Oxford.

Last night a ,pnblic meeting, called at the instance of the Metropolitan Drapers' Associa tion, for the abridgment of the hours of labour by the early closi; g of shops, took place in the Music-hall, Store-street, Bedford-square. B. B. Cabbell, Esq., was in the chair, and resolutions In accordance with the objects of the meeting were passed ttnanimously. h; question, that in the petition they expressed themselves I nxious as the representatives of the largest city in the word o give Parliament their support ; and in, doing so, they in formed Parliament, they were desirous that their conduct and intention was not to embarrass Sir Robert Peel. His friend had said that no corn could be brought in Rots. duty. Taking his statement as true, what was the effect? Why, that wis , he Ste° of things the first year ; in the second )ear those who had Corn were bribed by a four-shilling premium to keep it up Hear, hear.) They would do the same on the third year, and so it would accumulate, yielding no benefit for th e ti me, and to deluge the market at the close of the period.-4 H ear , h ear .) It was all a delusion and a fear. Gentlemen %viola see the, if they looked back to the experiment that was tiled on trade in 1842. When that experiment was in agitation, the same party in the State, the same party . in the coun try, the same interest; 'cried ''out that great would he the ruin that w ou ld f o ll ow • from 'the - new tariff. Yet prices had been better from • 1842 to 1845 than they had been for twenty years before. Alarmists, therefore, were only carrying out this principle in the present opposu loo t The question before the meeting was whether they would sup. port Sir Robert Peel's measures,_ or whether they would lie titioti for immediate repeal. Since this new experiment' had been Advertised, no person, not even at , any of the agtie.ll - meetings, hW said one word in favour of this new 5- 1.- ture of the measure. Agriculturists all said, rather take pro tection away at once and entirely. After some remarks from another Councilman in fivour of the petition, Mr. WIRE rose to reply. He said he would not detain . _._ . the Court long, but he would notice one or two 01 the remarks which had fallen from the mover anti toecmder of the amendment. One of them said, "I am eon. sistent, because on a form-T occasion I advocated a fixed duty." The questi.m bef. re them now was very different from that alluded to. Then it was not for a repeal of the corn-laws ; it was a petition to the Queen for the opening of the ports, because a great part of that food, on which the people of Ireland, and of Scotland, and England depend was in a great measure destroyed. It was a wisp and salutary movement that, on such an occasion. But if the gentleman would speak of his consistency, he (Mr. Vire) must say he try) was consistent, and he hoped the Court would preserve its consistency by passing the resolutions. In 18'.9 be found, from the minutes of the Court, they then condemned the corn-laws, and why should they not go now and request the present House of Commons to repeal them ? In 1840 he found them 'neat the same opinion on free trade. He was sure his biend, Mr. Jones had not read the whole of that minute before he began to qiiote it so much to the frustration of his own purpose. When had these laws been a benefit? They bad a Noble Lord standing up in Parliament and declaring his experience of their effect ; he said he had sold corn under their reign at from btls. occurred in resolutions s up to 705., and all Ab ds ,effect he had. known to have been t se of the gentl emen had pro duced during that perio d on she condition of his labourers was, ot that their wages , from bei n g Bs.,- had become 93.

SOIJT II NOVFING HAM ELECTION, NEWARK, TRUILiDAY.—The Illeli Sheriff of the county, Mr. T. D.

At Southwell, and at Bingham, I here is much opposition to , herd Lincoln, whereas at Carlton, Calverton; Woodbareugh," and iothsr adjacent villages, the electors are resolved - upon supporting his, i Lordship. About noon, the Earl of Linealu, accompanied by several. personal friends, repaired to the Town-hall, where a large concourse of people had assembled. Having stepped forward, to address the! meeting, - 1 Lord LINCOLN said, he readily availed himself of that opportunity (the nest since the publication of his address) to express to them, as their late representative, his honest sentiments upon the great clues-. Ilion now agitating the country. He was ready to vindicate the Icourse he had deemed it his duty to pursue, and he would appeal to them whether, muter all the circumstances of the case, he had not ;acted for their weltare, and the interests of the country -at--large-large-- (hear.) He was willing, at any tints, to speak at length on the - .proposed measures of Government, but lie thought -it would be a imore fitting orportunity, when the electors should be assembled at ,the hustings, for the purpose of nominating their candidates. With re- . Terence to the manner In which he had recently . vacated his seat, : in Parliament as representative for that division of the county, he Wished to say a few wards. Had he consulted his feelings he should have accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and appealed to the general body of the electors, but from a sense of duty, he made a great sacrifice of his personal feelings, and declined that couree. The bilice he now held having been offered to him in a few days after- Lwards, he considered the acceptance of it a legitimate opportunity to ppeai to the electors, and he rejoiced in the occasion. He regretted *that Mr. Hildyard, as he was a young man unknown to the consti tuency, was not then present, since he (Lord Lincoln) would now have no opportunity of hearing his opponent's senti ments upon the great subject at issue until they met upon the hustings, and then not until he himself had expressed his own sentiments. He believed Mr. Hildyard to be an honourable man, but at the saint time .he considered he was nn acquaintedwith public business, and particularly the great bu li tnes h • , he was intending to go into Parliament to transact .—(Bear.)

He would have shrunk from appearing helve the electors that day, had he not been convinced that the', course he had adopted was right ; and had he shrunk from seeing his opinions he would- never have shown his face again.— (Applause.) Ile had been told that those opinions were not his own, and that IfeS had yielded to the opinions of Sir It. Peel. He had no hesitation in speaking highly of the great and superior talents mkt judgment of Sir R. Peel, and t o express his Sinn belief that in everything Sir It. Peel did he acted conscientiously, and from thorough • conviction for the good of his country ; but he, at the same tine, would say that the sentiments he (Lord Lincoln) enter tained were his own, and that his opinions had not been changed in deference to Sir Hebert' Peel's.-- (Applause.) His own change had been effected by the silent process of conviction of mind. the Government was not about to deal with the corn-laws alone. they were not sacrificing one interest for another. but they were dealing wl , ll all alike. Protection will be taken from all, and his' Conviction was that from all the circumstances of the country sad the world, all parties will be better without protection than with it. e—(Applause.) The Government believed the manufacturer of woollen cloths and ether fabrics will he better without protective laws, end they call upon the agriculturists as well as the manufac turers to give up all protection.—(Hear, hear.)
