Itelting tint LUND )N SATURDAY JANUARY 29 , 184$ . The spirit of the Anti-Corn-law League yet sur vives, and is as vigorous and as well prepared as ever to come forth and do battle in support of the glorious principles of free trade. The sugar monopolists, who have of late been " making night hideous" with their " howlings" after protection, have reckoned without their host. Finding the Anti-Corn-law League dissolved, and RICHARD COBDEN, the soul of the League, absent from Eng land, travelling on his mission of " goodwill to man kind" through the different countries of the Conti nent, where, to quote the words of Mr. GEORGE %Vinson, the earnest and indefatigable chairman of the late Anti-Corn-law League, " he has been received as the accredited and honoured am bassador of free trade and peace in every city and port in Europe"—the " members of the aris tocracy of the sugar cask," as Mr. COBDEN was wont felicitously to designate them, fondly imagined that the spirit of the League was dead—that the reign of the humbug of Protection was not yet over, and that again they would. be en abled to revel in the luxuries of Belgravia, ley plundering the hard-working labourers of this country under the specious pretext of humanity to the blacks. All these visions, however, have vanished into air—thin air. The men of the late Anti-Corn law League are up and doing; they are as earnest, as enthusiastic, as logical, as just, as honest as they ever have been, and infinitely more powerful—wit ness the glorious Free-trade demonstration at Manchester on Thursday last. On that day two thousand five hundred ladies and gentlemen assembled together in the Free-trade Hall, " to celebrate the return to Parliament of the distinguished advocates of commercial freedom who have been members of the National Anti-Corn-law League." Among these distinguished advocates of commercial freedom who were present at this banquet were— Richard Cobden, Esq., M P.; the Right Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, M.P.; Thomas Thornely, Esq., M.P.; J. P. Pilkington, Etq., M.P.; Wm. Ewart, Esq., M.P. ; John Dixon, Esq., M.P.; E. A. Thicknesse, Esq., M.P.; John Bright, Esq., M.P.; Dr. Bowring, .M.P.; M. Wil son, Esq., M.P.; J. B. Smith, Esq., M.P.; Colonel T. P. Thompson, M.P.; James Kershaw, Esq., M.P.; J. Bretherton, Esq., M.P.; G. Thompson, Esq., M.P.; J. Williams, Esq., M.P.; R. Gardner, Esq., M.P.; and the Mayors of Manchester and Ashton, besides many gentlemen who took a distinguished part in the agitation of the corn-laws. Here we have a goodly list of free-traders re turned to the House of Commons ; but this list does not include the names of all the members of the late League who have been returned. The name of W. J. Fox, Esq., M.P., certainly not one of the least distinguished members of the League, is not to be found in this list ; and there are various others, Lord MORPETII, for instance, whose names are enrolled as leaguers, who were not present, so that this assem blage, brilliant as it was, important as it was, can by no means be considered as demonstrating the whole strength of the free-trade party in the House of Commons. The chair was taken by Geotten WiLsorr, Esq., a gentleman to whose name we would fain see attached the letters M.P., for with his peculiar and happy power of exposing fallacies, his untiring energy, and his business habits, his presence in the House of Commons would be of infinite service. He explained the object of the meeting in a few words :—" We do not meet here," said he, " to cele brate a victory obtained by one constituency, but by a number of constituencies—not to record a triumph, carried to a successful issue, in a small pocket borough, but to record the triumph obtained by the people of England—one unexampled in the history of any previous election." It is, indeed, a triumph unexampled in the history of any previous election. The chiefs of the League have been by the free choice of the people transferred en masse to the House of Commons, which henceforth will take the place ofCovent-garden Theatre as the temple for which the doctrines of commercial freedom will be expounded, to the world. The Protectionists, utterly defeated on the corn question, appear inclined to fight on the West Indian question; but, as Mt. WILsoN pro phetically observed, " We will .'meet . them on that, too, and defeat them upon that - as upon other ques tions." The question of protectiiin to the West India body was so admirably discusied by Mr. Mutsu GIBSON—the success of the great free-trade experi ment in this article of sugar, whether regarded financially or socially, so clearly demonstrated, and the rules by which a representative of the people should guide his conduct in voting on this question, so justly laid down, that we feel no apology is neces sary for quoting in extens• what fell from the Vice- President of the Board of Trade on this important subject : " We are asked to give to the West India body a protecting duty of 10s. per cwt. upon sugar—lol. per ton upon all the colonial sugar—upon all the colonial sugar imported into this country—is the modest re quest which is made to the representatives of the people. Ten pounds per ton upon all the colonial sugar would amount to upwards of two millions of taxes, to be imposed upon the people of this country; not for the purposes of the State ; not to be paid into the coffers of the Exchequer; but to be transferred from the great body of the consuming classes of England to the proprietary body of colonial lands. Now, I have no doubt it is very easy for persons to say that granting this protection to the West India body will make very little addition to the price of sugar; will not be felt by the consumer, and will prevent the ruin of many respectable families, and restore to prosperity, perhaps, many West Indian mercantile houses. If I were asked to give my own property, I might say, ' Very well, I have no objection to grant you from my own funds the amount which you ask, and I only hope that it may relieve you froma M ember your distress ;" but that is not the position of be of Parliam ent ; he is not dealing with his own Pr p r o perty .—( Applause .) He is trustee for the people, an d he , 4 bound to act upon the strict prin ciple o f j ustice of a tte em p be eo r pl o e f . And wh a t is, therefore the cas position lsea of Parliament whe n a f tw ore l : ere shilling differential dtrequest is made to him for a ten says to himself, I am as to colonial sugar ? He the earnings of all the fact or y transfer a portion of agricultural labourer s to a bo dy operatives and the ground that they are in di s t ress 1!n o f d men, upon the business in which they are ,--n ca nnot d make the (Hear, hear.) But an Hon , hier LE e 3a r e mupsrto ask fitable.— him self this question—ls there a more ob v i ous and clear title—one more inalienable , or less capabl e of being shaken—than that which t h e labouring man has t o the earnings which he has received as the reward o f his industry ? Can there be a higher title to property than the title which the labouring man has established f or the wages given him for his labour ? Well, then, w h at is the nature of this higher title which we are told exists on the part of West India proprietors to a portion of those wages; how can he make out a higher or a better title to get a portion of those wages than the labouring man who has received them directly for his industr, ? (Hear, hear, and applause.) I cannot reconcile it to m notions of justice that it can be show n b y .. anyprevious legislation of this country , that it ca n be sho wn by any i arg uments which I h - - prescriptive proprietor ~.._ ave ever heard , right, by any that any colonial uals any better claim to this Mall wages . than the man has himself.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And until a better title can be shown than the labour ing man himself can show to the wages he has re ceived from his employer, I must refuse, merely at the request of proprietors, and upon the plea of dis tress, I must refuse, in my capacity as a trustee, to transfer any portion of these earnings to the proprie tors of the soil.—(Hear, and loud cheers.) When the Sugar Duties Bill of 1846 passed through Parlia ment all the facts were before the Legislature which are now before them.—(Hear, hear.) Everything was taken into consideration, and, after a mature discussion of the Government, sugar duties were placed upon a permanent footing.—(Hear, and ap plause.) The measure of 1846 has conferred great benefits upon the country.—(Hear, bear.) It has done as the Protectionists predicted it would do, it has added materially t o th e revenue o f th e State, and it has increased the quantity of sugar to the con sumer.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I will take the liberty of reading to you the effect which it has had upon the revenue of the State, and also the addition it has made in the quantity of sugar consumed by the people.—(Applause.) For the twelve months ending August, 1845, the year previous to the present Bill being passed, for the twelve months, I say, ending August, 1845, the revenue from sugar amounted to 3,339,182/. ; for the twelve months ending August, 1847, being the first year of our Sugar Bill—the Free-trade Sugar Bill—the revenue from sugar amounted to 4,6.52,4921., showing an increase of 1,313,000/.—(Hear, hear)—tbat was the sum gained to the revenue, accompanied, as I said before, with less taxation to the consumer, and an increased quan tity of sugar at a lower price brought within the reach of all classes of her Majesty's subjects.— (Applause.) I am therefore prepared to stand by the Bill of 1846.—(Loud cheers.) I think it is a good measure—(Hear, hear)—l think it has answered the purposes for which it was introduced—(Rear) — I think it was a just measure—l think it was a well considered measure, and I think the country will never regret that it was passed into a law." After this clear and lucid exposition of the subject, we trust that the West Indian body will be wise enough to abstain for the future from asking for pro tection. The defeat of any attempt on their part to plunder the people of England of two millions per annum for their own private benefit is certain, for, as Mr. COBDEN said, this glorious Manchester de monstration is to be regarded not so much as a meet ing to celebrate past triumphs, as to show that the free-traders are alive to the future. As might be naturally supposed, Mr. COBDEN alluded at some length to the subject of our national defences, and thus explained his Stockport speech : " I stated, at Stockport, very candidly, what I will state now, and what I stated in my writings twelve years ago, that you cannot have any material reduc tion in our armaments until a great change shall have taken place in the public feeling of the country with regard to our foreign policy.—(Hear, hear.) The English people must first abandon the notion that they are to regulate the affairs of the whole world. I wish to do no injustice to the Minister that main tains our armaments, nor do I blame him for it now; but all I wish is to invoke public opinion upon the folly of conducting our foreign policy as it has been conducted in times past, and this I will do on all oc casions.—(Applause.) When the public opinion— the majority of the public opinion of the country—is on my side, I shall be content to see my views on this question carried out, but until that time I consent to be in a minority, and in a minority I will remain until I can make it into a majority.—(Cheers.)" This is a very different version from that which has hitherto been considered Mr. COBDEN'S speech at Stockport, and is no doubt the correct one. We felt convinced at the time we read the first version of Mr. COBDEN'S speech, that there was a gross error somewhere. Mr-. COBDEN then proceeded to show that our present naval force was amply sufficient for all purposes of defence if it were properly distributed, and contended that if our fleet, now worse than uselessly employed in the Tagus, in defending the Queen of PORTUGAL against the just indignation of her own subjects, were sta tioned in the Channel, for the protection of our coasts, there would be no necessity for increasing the esti mates by one farthing. The Honourable Gentleman, in conclusion, thus replied to the taunts at free trade in which some of " the willing to wound, but yet afraid to strike," party have of late been wont to indulge:— " We began by advocating free trade, believing it would bring in its train peace and harmony among all nations ; but the most enthusiastic free-trader among us never said, as some of the papers now say, that we expected a millenium after we had obtained free trade. We never expected anything of the'sort —we expected that other nations would require time, as we had, to carry out our views; but what we did hope was this—that the continent of Europe would not, at all events, have seen that we were the first to doubt as to the tendency of our own principles, and that we should be arming ourselves against those from whom we expected to meet only with friendship. We thought, and we endeavoured, to make free trade the harbinger of peace. When we planted the olive tree we never expected its fruits to be had in a day, but in due season we hoped to gather them; and, with Heaven's help and your help, it shall yet be so." The veteran Colonel Tnompsom followed, and he too repudiated the absurd idea, that because the free traders are essentially men of peace, therefore they are for incontinently disbanding the whole of the army, and breaking up the whole of our ships. After his own quaint fashion, he thus put the question upon its proper basis : " All must wish the time to come when armies and fighting men shall no longer be required; I wish the time was arrived when we could do without sur geons, for instance, and I wish also the time was come when we could dispense with lawyers.—(Loud laughter, and applause.) Not the slightest objection shall you find me making to the dispensing with these classes of persons when the time shall come that we can do without them.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed, I will not stand upon the retention of the clergymen when we can profitably dispense with their services. All these are persons and offices which we must endure; for though our object in wishing their re moval would be a good one, it is a question whether we can, by doing away with them, produce what we wish to achieve.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I have not put it to you that it is impossible to do without war, for lam persuaded that we cannot wholly dispense with our armaments; but I now put to you whether we cannot do without those costly preparations for war which are proposed to be forced upon your stomachs and purses." Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. BROTHRRTON, and Mr. GEORGE TnomPsort followed, and the meeting, which lasted until a quarter before twelve o'clock, broke up, After passing a vote of thanks to the Members of Parlia ment who bad attended it. We regard this magnificent meeting as a pledge given to the country that " the free-traders are alive to the future." We trust to see many similar meetings held in all parts of the country, as assurances to the leaders of the free-trade party that the principles which they have for the last seven years been incul cating have taken root and are bearing fruit through out the length and breadth of the land—as warnings to the Protectionists that we are on our guard and as earnests to the country that, as on all former occasions, we have not only always held what we have acquired, but have year by year progressed and obtained something more, so we intend to press forward, under the leadership of Mr. COBDEN, from victory to victory, until every existing monopoly of every sort and description shall be destroyed. The Special Commission for the county of Tippe rary was opened at Clonmel on Monday, the num ber of important cases in Limerick and Clare baying prevented the possibility of an earlier attendance by the Learned Judges. The total number of capital convictions in these counties amounted to sixteen— six in Limerick, and ten in Clare, of whom it is supposed that eleven will suffer the extreme penalty of the law. The legal arrangements in Tipperary are similar to those which were adopted in the other towns. The prosecutions are conducted by the AT TORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, assisted by Mr. Scorn, Q.C., and Mr. M. SAUBSE, the ordinary Crown prosecutors for the Leinster Circuit, while the prisoners are defended by Mr. RoLLEsTori, an eminent barrister, who has the most ex tensive criminal practice on the circuit, and who, like Mr. O'HEA, has been sent down special on behalf of the several prisoners. Although there are more than four hundred persons detained in Clonmel gaol, most of them upon very serious charges, the more important cases will only be pro ceeded with under the Commission, sufficient to show the vigour and determination with which the law will be enforced, and its penalties carried into execution necessaryxam p le thatw ill against the habitual violaters of its provisions. essentiallyballayn eo p s p t er v a a r l y ua b b o le y , s as it l i d s the Ti pperary T m i see in their own county that jurors and witnesses will not be deterred from the conscientious discharge of their duties by the system of intimidation and terror that so long prevailed. We doubt not that the gentlemen of Tipperary who have been called upon to act on the juries, to weigh the evidence that may be produced before them, and to return impartial verdicts, will deserve equal com mendation to that which their brethren of Limerick and Clare have so nobly merited. The conduct of these gentlemen was, indeed, beyond all praise. As the Lord Chief Justice stated in his admirable charge to the grand jury at Clonmel, " They had discharged their duty with firmness, unmoved by fear, and unexasperated, as if all around them was peace and repose ;" and " the evidence was given by witnesses who spoke the truth, and spoke it fearlessly." Their country will, indeed, have cause to feel grateful to the men who shrunk not from the post of danger, and who, in their position, set an example that spread among the humbler classes, of whom the witnesses chiefly consisted, and en couraged them to " feel confidence in the power and authority of the law, and to resist the oppression which had become intoler able ; to oppose the attacks of the assailants, upon their habitations, and in many instances to defeat those attacks and to deliver the assailants bound into the hands of justice." These are, indeed, encouraging circumstances, and afford favourable auguries for the future peace and tranquillity, and consequent prosperity and happiness, of the districts. The illegal confederacies to which these outrages are attributable most undoubtedly had their origin in the agrarian code that was introduced—in the desire to deprive the proprietors of the soil of their just rights, and to prevent an appeal to the laws of the land by the bloodthirsty vengeance which was taken upon every person who ventured to have recourse thereto. But the system of intimidation was carried further. It was not merely landlords, or agents, or tenants who entered into the possession of holdings from which the farmer occupants had been ejected that were: the victims. The sanguinary miscreants were ready to turn their arms against even those by whom they had been originally fostered and en couraged, and ready instruments were found to exe cute any project that could enter into the most de moniacal imagination, until at last the yoke could no longer be borne, and farmers, cottiers, and labourers found that they could have no safety under such a system, and that all were equally interested in its prompt and effectual suppression. The Lord Chief Justice administered a strong rebuke to those incendiaries who inflame the passions of an excitable people, and think that they are justi fied in so doing because they add some few feeble re commendations against breaches of the law, or the shedding the blood of their fellow-creatures. His impressive words should be maturely reflected on by Archdeacon LAFFAN, respecting whose language there can be no dispute—language uttered in presence of four members of the Legislature, and which no person has ever ventured to deny. His Lordship said—" Yes, there seems to be the spirit of demons let loose upon the land. The spirit of vengeance rages without control and without limit, and no wonder, because these crimes are extenuated and palliated, and excused; nay, more, the saying has gone forth, the wild justice of revenge,' which has now obtained credit and currency, as if it were a great moral truth. Now, not to dwell upon the audacious impiety of prompting men to arrogate, and to exercise that which belongs only to man's MAKER—without stopping to dwell upon the profanation of the sacred name—the spirit of justice issuing with the idea of revenge—see what that precept means, and is understood to mean. It means this—that murder is just—that rapine is just—that cruelty is just— that crime, every crime, is just—provided only that revenge be the motive, and its gratification the object• Just to think that such a precept as this should have been issued to our ignorant, turbulent, excitable fellow-creatures. How do they understand it ? They understand fins it was intended that it should be under stood. Every man becomes the judge of his own wrongs and the avenger of his own wrongs, and the consequences are what might have been expected. The innocent fall by the arm of the assassin, and the assassin, and the accessory, and the con spirators in their turn fall by the arm of the law." We trust that these great truths may sink deeply into the hearts of the agitators who foster the evil passions of the uneducated multitude, and that we may not again hear of persons, whose educa tion and position in society should have taught them better, speaking of murder as being justifiable under any circumstances, or that if a person was suffering, and " a man of courage, he would go out and shoot the first person he saw with a good coat on his back." Another suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice was exceedingly valuable, and will, we trust, be adopted. He spoke of the power of combination for evil, and recommended tbat it should be tried what it might do for good, adding, " I would humbly suggest the formation of asso ciations to preserve the peace in parishes or lesser districts, and that to those associa tions every man should be admissible who chose to become a member of it. I enter not into the details of their operations, or the mode by which they may be brought to bear on the suppression or prevention of crime, but of this I am perfectly assured, that there are no means within your power, and of those of the friends of order and peace that are so immediately capable of being put in execution, or are so likely to be effective when put in execution." It is by such means that the friends of order would, indeed, be known, by which the rate-payers may he saved from the heavy expenses to which they would be exposed, if the Government should feel called upon to bring the provisions of the late " crime and disturbance" Act into operation within the district ; and they would also be spared the shame and disgrace of seeing the localities in which they reside classed amongst those that required such stringent measures. These recommendations should not, and we are con vinced will not, be neglected; and if they are acted on in the spirit in which they were conceived, Tip perary will no longer maintain the bad pre-eminence in crime for which it has unhappily been so long distinguished. The first trial at Clonmel has also terminated in a capital conviction. JOHN LONERGAN, the murderer of the late lamented Mr. Box, and brother of the gen tleman whose letter, heaping calumnies on the memory of the victim of assassination, the Honour able Member for Limerick thought proper to read in the House of Commons, has been found guilty, on the clearest and most satisfactory evidence, of the fearful crime, and is to expiate his offence by an ignominious death on the scaffold. Shocking as it is to witness a young man thus cut off in the prime of life, it would be still more dreadful if murder were permitted to stalk abroad unchecked, and innocent blood was to be shed with impunity. The Swiss Diet sat on the 26th, and the President announced that Sir STRATFORD CmuslNG, having accomplished his mission, was about to leave Swit zerland. The President added that he considered it his duty to declare that the British diplomatist had discharged his mission in the manner most honour.. able and advantageous to the real interests of Swit zerland. The Diet has already commenced acting on the advice given by Sir STRATFORD CANNI24G. They have relieved the primitive cantons of the fine im posed on them, and have reduced the Federal army to 5,000 men. The title of Pacificator will, it i s said, be bestowed on General DUFOUR. A letter written from on board an American ship. of-war, dated Jan. 16, off Messina, states that a fire of artillery had been opened on the town. A letter from Civita Vechia, of the 20th, gives as a rumour that General MAQo had been killed at Pa lermo. According to this account the army possessed only the forts. It was apprehended in Naples that an insurrection was imminent in the Calabrias and the Abruzzi, but the Government feared to send away troops from Naples. The KING was using the most conciliatory means towards the people of the capital. The Swabian Mercury pretends to have news from Palermo of the 17th, to the effect that after three days' hard fighting the insurgents had taken the citadel, and had established a provisional Go vernment. Letters from Rome, of the 19th instant, announce that Cardinal BUFFONDI, Legate at Ravenna, would probably succeed Cardinal FERRETTI in the post of Secretary of State. The Consults, had pre. sented an Address to the POPE, recommending the re-organization of the army, and the immediate ar manent of the civic guard throughout the Roman MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE W::". CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Bank of England averages for the week, from the 22d to the 29th inst., will serve to explain the cause of the reduction in the rate of interest; the discount business having been reduced about three quarters of a million sterling; although the resources of the Bank, both in bullion and unemployed notes, were again aug mented. The comparison with the previous week is as follows: — Notes issued Increase Rest . ... 3,726,364 Increase Public Deposits Decrease 252,232 Other Deposits Increase Seven Day and other Bills 903,278 Increase 309 Government Securities 11,464,665 Increase Other Securities Decrease 744,573 Notes 7,447,385 Increase . 294,985 Bullion Increase Active circulation Increase . ... 17,280 The demand for bills of exchange has increased this week, and the rates attainable for the pound sterling are in consequence lower. There are some important arrivals announced, but the advices will not reach until the afternoon. The Teviot has arrived at Southampton from the West Indies, the Madrid from Lisbon, and the Caledonia at Liverpool, from America. The accounts from abroad allude to the certainty of two or three continental loans, those for Belgium and the Roman States being likely to come first into the field. There are further failures here again. Messrs. Brightman and Co., in the East India trade, and Messrs. Bertram and Parkinson, of Newcastle, have both sus pended. The Funds are lower, sales of Stock having been pressed as is customary after an advance in prices- Consols have been 89- to 1 for transfer, and down from 89i to 894 for account.

The Turin journals of the 24th inst. mention the arrival in that city of Professor CANTU, against whom an arrest warrant had been issued by the Government of Milan. At Venice a number of persons had been taken into custody, and, amongst others, Messrs. TOMMASEO and MANNIN. The Diario di Roma, of the 15th inst., gives an official contradiction to the report that Count BLUDOW had, on the part of the Emperor of RUSSIA, concluded a concordat with the see of Rome. Madrid papers of the 22d have been received. General ESPARTERO was preparing to leave Madrid for Logrono, where he will meet the Duchess of VICTORY, and where he intends residing for some time. Don FRANCISCO XAVIER DE BURGOS, a former Minister of Spain, died on the 22d at Madrid. The Bolsa was closed on the 22d. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The fourth paragraph of the Address, that relating to prison discipline, came on for discussion on Thurs day, and as it incidentally opened up the question of the state of public morality, M. DE TOCQUEVILLB took advantage of it to attack M. GUIZOT for his con niving at the corrupt bargain for the sale of places with M. PETIT. After reminding the Chamber of the severity which the Minister had exercised against those of his employes who had voted against him, he thus addressed M. Guiziyr :-" Here is an agent of the Government, a man placed in daily contact with you, who is guilty of a fact which you are compelled to admit, and yet there is not the slightest dimi nution of cordiality between you and the man who has placed you in this serious position. You cannot, Monsieur le Ministre, get out of this embarrassment ; why do you retain the man who has thus compromised you in your confidence ? Why do you not punish him ? If you refuse to do this act of justice, it may be naturally concluded that you were acquainted with his acts, and that you refuse to dis miss him.-(Violent murmurs from the centre, and approbation from the left.) Does not everything that passes around you evince that there is in the public mind a strung spirit of revolution ? Do you still calculate on the future ? Do not deceive your self-you perhaps may yet have some time left, but the tempest is in the horizon, and it must burst on you before long. Stop, then, while you have the means adopt reforms and changes, for that is your only resource." This gave rise to an animated dscussion, in the course of which M. DEVIENNE and M. eh/41'1ER defended the Minister, while M. BILLAULT gave a resume of all the recently discovered scandals from the of sire TEsTE to the ajfaire PETIT, and accused both M. DUCHATEL and M. GUIZOT of corruption and falshood. The debate was then adjourned, and was resumed yesterday, and the scene was of the most violent character ; at the hour the post left, the Pre sident was ringing his bell, and calling speakers to order, amidst the greatest uproar. Ems BOURSE, FRIDAY, JAN. 28. - The Bourse has been again very firm to-day ; but, with the exception of the Fives, which have slightly im proved, quotations remain about the same as yester day.
