'l4as he, and have the pfitildgeti classes of this country forgotten the horrors of the ' French Revolution, and their causes ? Are they aware • how very similar the circumstances are which are now • in operation in this country, and what were they ? Fi nancial difficalties arising from the wars and extravagan cies of previous reigns, and the refusal of the aristocracy ' to bear their share of the burdens. How stands it in this country ? We have a ,much greater debt, arising from the wars and extravagancies of previous reigns, and the aristocracy not only paying no taxes, but taxing the people besides for their own benefit, for the extra price they obtain for their corn by their own unjust law exo nerates them from all taxation, and leaves them some- thing in pocket besides.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Louis XVL was a kind-hearted Monarch, and most anxious for the welfare and happiness of his people, but was opposed in his benevolent intention by the privileged orders. Have we not the same state of things here ? Our beloved Queen, anxious for the happiness of her people, taking their part a g ainst the privileged classes, and yet thwarted in her designs and exertions by the Monopolists.—(Hear, hear.) The first minister under Louis XVI. who ventured to grapple with them was Turgot, who proposed sundry edicts, one of which was, a free commerce ingrain—mark that. Another was, the re moval of the salt tax ; a third, that the aristocracy should bear their :;hare of keeping the high roads in order. But the circumstances altogether are so marvellously similar, that I cannot refrain giving you a short quota tion from the "Lectures on the French Revolution," by ' Professer Smyth, a work that ought to be the daily study ! of every Conservative. " The fact was, that the privi- • leged orders were exempted to a certain degree from the taxes to which . the rest of the country was exposed. Now, unless they could be brought to bear their part, no real relief could be afforded. The accumulated deficit, ' the annual deficit, were each too great. Of all this Turgot seems to have been well aware. He had an nounced himself as decidedly of opinion that an impost. • must be fairly and equally levied upon proprietors of every description ; and certainly this was a doctrine perfectly right and just. What meanness in the privi leged orders to resist it ; what selfishness —what guilt— and what fully, particularly when the country had evi dently begun to inquire and think ! What truth so ob vious as this, that nothing can be secure that is not agreeable to the moral feelings of mankind. The King proposes the six edicts of Turgot, which I have men tioned, to the Parliaments. The privileged orders are iu those edicts only required to contribute like the rest of the community to the repairs of the roads, nothing more ; but no, the edicts are resisted by the Parlia ments ; the privileged orders had taken the al arm , an d the result of the whole is, that the patriotic Minister is dismissed, and the edicts gradually forgotten." Is not this precisely the game that has been played here. Our Ministers and their measures both dismissed. Let the aristocracy learn by heart the following comment of Professor Smyth :—" 'rhe conduct of the privileged or ders on this occasion must for ever be held up to man kind as an example of the selfish blindness of which all such orders are capable ; they would not concede in time. Animated by no one generous or patriotic feeling that can be mentioned, they would not concede, and they, and everything, that they loved and honoured, were con sequently buried in one common destruction. But they saw not their danger ; let others, then, t t l h i e a n t , m t a a n ke is wa e r i n th in e g r ! a It may be thought that, in callin g att ention to the pain- I ful . period of the Frenc b h est Revolution,interests of that hs iI fellow-crea tures l 0 seeking to excite the people. — (N n, no.) I do wish to excite tu fool r them, esn rw b ah u ot t r dreams o t o t r t o to t f h such u cha thing, and i n me, e i ther as an individual or a magistrate, he will find his bitterest oppo nent.—(Hear, hear.) But I wish to excite the minds of the working classes to think, and to understand the real causes of their sufferings, and to take every constitutional means of removing them. Mr. Stansfiold then moved the following resolutien:— " 1. That great and increasing distress has been ex- woollen district mercantileaiso of i ex perienced during the last f our years and manufacturing classes of the comp , food, !ietn. 4firvd which Leeds is the centre ; that the condition of the workmen engaged in the various branches of its staple trade has been greatly deteriorated, from the combined operation of a lessened employment for labour, a lower rate of remuneration for it, and the high price of all the necessaries of life, and more especially of flour and meat ; that the merchants have experienced unparalleled and in many cases ruinous losses, frcm the frequent and large fluctuations in the value of manufactured goods, and the frightful amount of insolvency which has taken place aniorigst the retail traders of the nation ; and that the manufacturers have suffered in a still greater degree hadthan the merchants, because they have to bear the loss arising from the parti employment of their ma chinery and the consequent inadequate return upon their sunk capital, in addition to those arising from ex treme variations in the price of the raw material and the bankruptcy of their customers." Tssresn FAIRBAIRN, Esq., seconded the resolution. The CnairistaN put the resolution, which was carried, only five or six hands being held up against it. Mr. Wst. WEST came forward to move the next reso lution, and was received with cheers. He said he would detain them but a very few moments. He-had• to move a resolution, which he had read with attention, and in which lie entirely concurred, for otherwise no persuasion could have induced him, as a mere matter of form, to propose to the thousands gathered before him, to assert that which he did not himself first believe.—(Cheers.) Mr. West read the following resolution `:— " 2. That this meeting is clearly of opinion that the dtsttces esperienced in this district, and generally througlaemt the iitartnreeturing districts of the empire, is mainly attributable to, the restrictive laws, falsely called protection, on the import and export of food and manu factures, and particularly the Corn and Provision laws— laws which exist or the sole and unjust advantage of one section of the nation—aggravate the effects of defi cient harvests, and prevent the farmer from deriving any benefit flittn' productive ones, practically deny the right of the people td exchange the _produce of their industry for the food and productions of - other nations—restrict a rapidly increasing population .to the comparatively sta ary -supply of food.raised from our own soil, thereby selling the mass of the people either to consume less 4 or food of a less nutritious character ; thus dimi lug their comforts ' inflicting severe privations, en !fideritig disease, and prompting to the commission of in Tears of scarcity causing a serious derange ,ant or the eifere'ncys of which the immediate and ine vitable effects are falling prices, commercial alarm and embarrassment, a frightful destruction of the property-of :tbeapitalists, and appalling distress amongst the masses of' our operative classes." • I'l:e:resolution, he said, was a long one, and if they were 'intemet In the Cloth Hall-yard of Leeds for the first time, to ttaln themselves whether the matters therein ' affirmed were true, arid if those who heard it read heard those things stated as facts for the first time, and if there were likely to be a considerable number of didtilitees waiting to be convinced, and desirous to hear arguments in tip . ,peet of each allegation, he should have shrunk from the task—tho physical task, the exertion of voice needful to do justice to the moving of the resat , tier!, But surely in this town of Leeds, in that Cloth Hall-:;'tifd; et that season, immediately after two con tested elections, Ante, en so many occasions they had heard one side of the question most fully, most ably argued, and when they had heard from aloes steps lame and impotent, and halting, and shrinking attempts eome times to touch the other side of the question, but muds more to keep out of eight from the manufacturers of Leeds the real sentiments of the parties pretending to approve what they there secretly, btit le other places titinnly opposed, the principles of free trade, surely he said, in tiiii.t ftliese, and at that time of day, those thins" , to their minds who WC-Tn seek there, spoke fs_le-1 4 .'1V.lves, and needed no argument front the mover:"' Mr. T. PLINT came forward to-e2.lnd the resolution, nas received with londsclieers. Ire said that. the 44 2 8 ishieli had been delivered by Mr. West waded lieve him from the nctsseeity of entering at great length into the discussion of the question before them, because the assertions and statements made in the resolution which had been proposed, and the implied arguments et:int:tined in it, need not be urged at length before the ittesple of Leeds, inasmuch as the subject had been so completely eithatisted by those able men who had so -recently appeared among them, and more especially by Mr. Hume—(Cheers)—whom this great mercantile oommunity, to their lasting disgrace, had rejected, and befit iii his place the worst enemy they could have—a supporter of monopoly and of rstrictions upon trade. — r He'll never go' again.") In the observations he was atiLltt met oldies therefore, lie should confine himself prin cipally to some of the arguments advanced by the pro- Corn-law party at the present moment, in opposition to the repeal of that iniquitous tax. Before he did so, how t;# might' tie allnWetrto say, in reference to what had tallefl frail Mr. Gardiner, that at another time and under different circumstances, he should have felt no diffictilt,c hi StianSting a resolution which had for its object au e 4 t: 3 3'itiVras tsf the Suffrage and the Vote by- Ballot.—(Hear, heitin He belonged to an associa tion, the fundamental prls:oltale of which was, that Household Suffrage was th e 4Es.ht cif the people.— (I:lteers2). But, at the same time that agave his adher ence to 68 lamest,. Parliamentary Reform _itssociation, he oleo supported the Ccifitelusse agitation.--s(" Hear, bear; and an exclamation of " Whitt it for r) Why ?

He would here take the opportunity to correct' an error made on the part of many persons favour;ble to repeal of the Corn-laws, and who admitted that they were injurious. Many high persons attributed the existing distress to the bad harvests of the last three or four years. This was a fatal mistake. No doubt the deficiency of those harvests had added to the distress now prevailing; but if they had been good instead of bad, sooner or later he was convinced the country would have been brought into its present lamentable position.— (Hear, hear.) The bad harvests no doubt had had the effect of aggravating the evil effects of time Corn-late s ; but the primary cause of the distress was quite apart from any such considerations.—(Hear, hear.) The ex isting system restricted the population of this country, advancing at the rate of 400,000 or 500,000 a year, td the limited surface and comparatively limited produce of their own land, and it denied the right of exchanging the produce of their industry with the inhabitants of any other part of the world.—(Hear, hear.) This was time great secret of the evil, and if in this and after years they should be blessed with abundant harvests, it would be found that there would not be sufficient employment for the people, and that they must give a greater extension to their markets before the industry of every man could be brought into play, and, of course, before every man could have an adequate supply of food.---s(Hear, hear.) Mr. Pfint then proceeded to overthrow the arguments of the pro-Corn-law party, who created false impres sions on our being dependent on foreign nations. A great deal had been said (he resumed) by some per sons, both in and out of the House of Commons, as to the cause of the existing distress, and one gentleman, occu pying the distinguished position of one of their Repre sentatives, had attributed it to over-banking And over production.—(Laughter.) He (Mr. Plint) was quite willing to admit that there had been a great deal of over-banking—(Hear)—but that there had been over production he confidently and fully denied.—(Hear.) The fact was quite the reverse, and when they saw so many thousands of persons out of employment it was perfect nonsense to talk about over-production.—(Hear.) The real cause of the distress was the Corn-laws. The agriculturists had failed to support the people, and they had prevented the operative classes from exchanging the produce of their labour with those who were ready to take it.—(Hear, hear.) If all the markets of the world were thrown open, over-production would give place to unlimited power of exchange, and although they might not be exempt from fluctuations, arising out of the variations of the seasons, the scale amount of employment would be infinitely more equable than it was at present, and the rate of wages would consequently be more fixed and certain.—(Hear, hear.) I The pro-Corn-law men found fault with the anti-Corn ' law party for making exaggerated statements as to what the price of corn and provisions would be under a repeal of the existing system. He believed that the effects which , would accrue from a repeal of the Corn-laws, had been I exaggerated; but he would ask whether their position would not be infinitely better, supposing that the price of corn was not lowered a single farthing, if the working classes could obtain wages for six days labour instead of four.—(Loud cries of " hear, hear.") He did not be lieve that the reduction in the price of the article of food would. be to the extent that some people contended for, and he would tell them why. Wherever they gave to any set of men a monopoly in the supply of any particular article, that artiele was sure to be rendered bad, dear, and scarce.—(Hear.) It was not i n human nature to be otherwise. He would give them a familiar instance of the truth of this. If there was only a single coach between any two particular towns, the con sequence would be that a man would t rave l at a sna il I pace and he charged an extravagant fare. Butt let an opposition coach start up, and the passengers would be ' conveyed twice as fast, and the fare would be reduced. He knew a case of this sort in Ireland, where one man had the monopoly of a coach to Limerick, and the come- PRICE 5d quctiat wee what he had before pointed out. Mr. Plint then proceeded to show that all restrictions on trade were injuriOni , and concluded his address amidst loud applause. Mr. A. GARDINER, a Chartist, said lie was glad to con gratulate the Chairman on the orderly way in which the , men before him had conducted themselves. 'There were none, lie thought. of those present who would not admit the evil effects produced by the Corn-laws. He admitted that they were evil; and ought to be repealed; but the question was, how were they to be repealed? The men at present holding the franchise were so corrupt that there was no chance of getting a repeal of the .Corn-laws from the present House of Commons.---: (Loud cheers.) The resolution stated that the Corn-. laws were the principal cause of the distress. He did not think so. He believed that it was the monopoly class legislation that was the cause of all of it.—(Heir hear, and loud cheers.) lie believed that it was this mono poly that had produced other monopolies.--(Loud cheers.) He believed that it was the monopoly of the franchise that had produced the monopoly of corn and other provisions. Seeing 7 therefore, no chance of get ting a repeal of the Corti-laws from the present House of Commons, lielivas in favour of changing the fran chise.--(Cheers.) He would conclude by moving an amendment. He had come quite unprepared for coin; anything of the kind, but thinking that the statemeots in the resolution were not strictly true, he had deter - mined to move an amendment. He then read the amend ment, which was as follows :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the cause of the distress of the country is mainly attributable to the monopoly of the franchise, and that it will never be removed till the franchise is extended to every man of twenty-one years of age, of sound mind, and untainted with crime. The speaker then resumed. He expected that little good could result from addressing the Queen. They said the Queen was a constitutional Queen. Perhaps she was ; lie very much doubted, however, now that the Tories had got in, whe ther she would not be a Tory before long.—(Laughter.) To show what might be expected from a general exten sion of the suffrage, he referred to the meeting on Wood house-moor, on the nomination clay, when the show of , hands was declared in favour of- Messrs. Hume and . Aldan . ), the reforming and free trade candidates, 'but the constltuenci elected Sir J. Becket, the Tory and mono polist candidate. Though the decision of the Mayor had been disputed, he declared positively, and he had a good opportunity of judging, and, not being a party man, was likely to be impartial, that the Yellows had an immense majority. Thus the people declared in favour of the re peal of the Corn-laws, but the constituency declared against it. He concluded by moving the amendment, which he said he hoped Mr. Plint or some one else would second. A person in the body of the meeting, who gave his name LAMBERT 111AnsnALL, seconded the amendment. This, however, was finally withdrawn, and the original resolution retained. Mr. Alderman BATESON moved the next resolution. " 3. That this meeting, being thoroughly : convinced that; the Corn and Provision-laws are the principal saitse of the cruel privations and embarrassment of the myaullae-. ; turing classes, and that delay in the application of Ar remedy will alike add to the intensity,of the evil and URI difficulty of its cure, enters its solemn and indignant pro test against the postponement of all inquiry and discus sion on this important subject by the Legislature as a dereliction of duty, and as indieiting a disregard to that cry of suffering, and that urgent prayer for legislative in terference and relief, which has been sent up from the millions of our manufacturing population." He said he would make one or two observations with respect to the operation of.machinery. He had seen on' the Continent,. with his own eyes, that which, had be not been a witness to it, he should not perhaps.have so readily credited. When he went on , the Continent in 1839, he made it a part of his business to go about the country to observe the progress of manufactures. To his utmost surprise he found in the district of Vervier, in the neighbourhood of Aix-la-Chapelle, and in Berg, all within a day's journey of each other, that last year they made 70,000 pieces more than England exported to all the world.—(Hear, hear.) Was not this a most as tounding fact ?—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") He concluded by cordially moving the resolution. Mr. J. 0. MARCTI seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. E. BAINES, jun., came forward to move the adop tion of the memorial, which was carried unanimously, amidst great cheering. [The memorial was in effect an echo of the resolu.., tions ; the following was the concluding- sentence] : Under these circumstances, we humbly approach your Majesty with the prayer, that your Majesty will vouchsafe once more to recommend the public distresses, and their main cause, the. Cern 7 laws„ .. to the considera tiOti of - Parliament;•amt that. srbtilV3lliOC'e - Sfrlisc-yeillr prerogative to prorogue the two IfouseS until these im portant subjects shall have undergone full discussion.

THOMAS SCALES came forward to second. the adoption of the memorial, after which The memorial was unanimously adopted Dr. SMILES moved a petition to the House of Com mons. • . Mr. Councillor JonN CLIFF seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. A vote of tanks to the Chairman was then proposed, ;Ind the meeting separated about half-past three o'clock. MORNING siThr - - - The Chairman, Jowe RWANDA, Es e, opened tlieTro ceedings. JOSEPH CROSFIELD, Esq., a Magistrate of the conietv„ came forward to move the first resolutlim, and ee -, g4 - ,:d leave to call th e i r attent i on to a report of the stal:J. Rochdale at the present time, which was as follows : There were 136 people living upon ed. per heed per week, 291 living upon lOid. per head per week, ir fa l m ) e i d l i s es and without wooedat 508 living upo n I s . per h ea d per week, 1,855 !iv'ln upon Is. 6d. per h e ad p er wee k, 1,500 l i ving upon Is. eci. per head per week, an d 812 li v i ng upo n 2s. 2d. per head per week; total visited 5,242. Fi ve - s i xths of the whole any hal blankets,h a r hardly a 4 7families blanketto c s o l l e e e l p . itng them; m o ac ; ehsa shavings. Now Rochdale w as not a sol i tary nor even the worst instance of prevailing misery. Nreet was th e state of their own town? He beli eve d h e m i ght say that one-fourth of the mills in this town were altogether closed, and most of the remainder were workieg short time.—(Hear, hear.) Avd was there any prospect of the case being better during the winter?—(Cr.g of " Worse.") It was enough to arouse the country; that 1,500,000 petitioners had been neglected, and all disk:us sion on the cause of their grievances quashed, by a bread taxing majority of landowners? He was happy to Say that the result of the revision in the Barristers' Court that day showed a clear gain to the Reformers of 42 votes—(Loud cheers)—and let an election occur trry time after the Ist of November, and the cause of justice and good government would triumph in this borough. THOS. GRIMSHAW, an operative, seconded the resolu tion, and gave a deplorable account of the distress and misery which prevail among the operatives in the manu facturing districts. 'The Rev. F. BISHOP moved the second resolution. He trusted that the oligarchy of monopolists would pause in their suicidal course before it was too late, be fore patience was exhausted, and the power of endurance worn out. He indeed did feel a glow of hope within him, now that the question had begun to be viewed in its moral and religious aspects—now that the piety and reli gion of the land were arrayed against the anti-Christian system. As Lord Stanley was reported to have once of slavery, that it could no longer •be maintained, because the religion of the nation had decreed its destruc tion ; so he (Mr. Bishop) would fain hopelhat the doom of the Corn-laws was sealed, since Christian men had raised their heaven-tempered weapons against it, and applied the keen edge of justice to the root of the evil. Mr. P. - RYLANDS said, the Hon. Member for a large borough, when told that numbers of the houses in manufacturing towns were untenanted, gravely suggested as the reason that the work-people who formerly inha bited them have now their country residences—(Laugh- ter)—and go to town in the morning, and return in the evening by the railways.—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. I'. Rylands concluded by seconding the resolutioe. Mr. ter AoLAnere..tleo svell,,lenowa lecturep.of ehe,tNiefi- Corn-law League, in a powerful and eloquent 'sfeeech, Add- • - he bitterly condeunied the conduct of the bread-taxing landocracy, and concluded amidst loud cheering.

Mr. M`Mtenetns briefly seconded the resolution, which was carried without a dissentietit, and the meeting quietly dispersed.

TUESDAY BYENING.---In. consequence of a requisition, originating with the tradlsmen of the Ward, a public: meeting of the inhabitant of Castle Precincts was held. last evening in Castle-green. The statements made by llEwitsr GEORGE FOWLER, Esq., a highly respectable merchant, and the Consul of France at this port, were received with marked attention.. Ono circumstance in particular, deserves to be pointed. our, Mr. Fowler states that he had, in common with: many others, taken early advantage of the facilities of fered by the operation of the sliding scale to operate largely in the corn-trade, not only in this city but in Li verpool, London, Gloucester, and other places, with. considerable success ; but so strongly was he impressed: with the injustice of a system offering inducements to. make money by the distresses of the people, that since 1837 he repudiated all dealing in the trade, and had. never since had a single bushel of corn measured in his name. This is a practical instance of what has been over and over again urged by Mr. Cobden and other Anti- Corn-law advocates, namely, that no honest or conscen tious merchant could long continue in the corn-trade. Mr. BOUCHER, in moving the first resolution, said op -eession at present was intolerable ; but it had always L een 'guild in all ages, that, when it arrived at that erance was at hand.—(Hear, hear.) Pha point , den; raoh took the a , raw from the children of Israel, and insisted mpon their .making bricks of stubble ;it was then the cry of insufts:abln he opressi l o v n h aatr caused ose'w the brought their deliverance.-- k 1-; rs.) ion American revolution ?

Oppression for this country. there was something better in store - They could produce abundance of menus: ctur whole world, and all they asked was to be ,a 'lnt they allowed f c o d r t th ho e means of exchanging them for food ; this was w. asked for, and this they must and would have.—(C ,ers.) L Mr. Boucher concluded by moving the first resolution. Mr. BULLMAN seconded the resolution, which Ifss)s carried unanimously. C. J. THOMAS, .Esq., proposed the next resolution, which having been seconded by . Mr. DaseostnE, H. G. FOWLER. Esq., Consul for France, rose, and said that having been a free burgess of that City for twenty-three years, and engaged during a great part of that period in commercial affairs, he had paid a great deal of attention to, and watched the operation ot; the present Corn -law ; few merchants had more opportuni ties. His attention had been attracted to it from the year 1827, because, being a pretty sharp calculator, lie saw there were opportunities of making considerable profits by the operation of that law, and he had, with others, made a great deal of money by it ; but from the. year 1837 he from principle repudiated all trading in corn, from the conviction of the injustice of making a profit by the sufferings of humanity.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Fowler) went still occasionally to see his friends' in Devizes, Warminster, and other towns where he used formerly to deal largely in corn, and in that fine county he found amongst the labouring classes a gradual decay. Honest and industrious women and young girls were now to be seen on the road side breaking stones, with nothing but dry bread in their wallet to sustain them. He had been a traveller—he had visited many countries, and he could therefore speak from observation, when he said that bread was nowhere so dear as it was in England, where it was now 2d. per lb., whilst in Paris the working-man buys his bread at a ld. per lb. In Nantes, in Bordeaux, in Marseilles, and throughout France the price was the same, and in Leghorn bread was sold at three farthings per pound, as good as Nelson's sailors had at the battle of Trafalgar, or Admiral Stop ford's at the recent b att l e of Acre.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Fowler) thought the time had arrived when an al teration should take place in this law. It was that which filled their Bridewell ; it was a want of bread that brought to their police court every Monday morning crowds of cases of destitute and suffering humanity.— (Hear, hear.) During the last week a large number of foreign ships had brought corn into this port at high freights, and the corn-measurers and labourers were grinning, absolutely grinning, at the folly of the regulations which admitted foreign corn from foreign vessels a t one s hilling per quarter duty, inste ad i of employing our own honest sailors and British vessels to bring the cargoes at Bs. per quarter duty, as propos ed by the expelled Minister.—(Hear, hear.)

PORTLAND , . An adjourned public meeting of the inhabitants of Portland Town and the neighbourhood was held on Wed nesdaynight, at the Crown; Henry-street, Portland-town, to consider the propriety of memorialising her Majesty not to prorogue Parliament. Mr. SIDNEY SAWA — dime - forward and addressed the meeting. They (the Tories) were impatient to turn out the late Ministry, because they did not like the Budget, and now they had turned round and adopted the very Budget prepared by the late Chancel lor of the Exchequer; the only difference being that the present Chancellor of the Exchequer had borrowed five millions of money, with the addition of a promise that next February he would come prepared with a list of ad ditional taxes to be laid upon a people who were already burdened with taxes to an extent greater than they could bear.—(hear.) There were no less than seven public meetings held in opposition to the Corn-laws in different parts of the metropolis on the previous evening. —(Loud cheers.) There were three that night.--(Hear, hear.) The meetings on the subject had been three deep every evening during the preceding week, and notices of the same number of public meetings stood for almost every evening in the present week.--(Cheers.) Mr. Smith sat down amidst great applause. A resolution to memorialise the Queen not to pro rogue Parliament till the Corn-laws were considered was unanimously adopted. _ A memorial was then read and agreed to, and signed by above a hundred of the inhabitants. PARISH OF LAMBETH. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the rate payers took place on Wednesday ni g ht a t th e York Hotel, Waterloo-road, relative to the election of overseers, now going on, when the fact that this parish had not come forward in common with other metropolitan parishes, to present an address to her Majesty not to prorogue the Parliament until the Corn- s law question had been dis cussed, was brought forward. The reason was statcsi to be the hostility of the present churchwardens and oser seers ; and after some discussion, a committee of gentle men agreed that the signing of .the . requisition for ao - public meeting should be proceeded with. . - DEPTFORD. A densely-crowded meeting took place on Tuesday evening last, to hear a lecture from J. C. Symons, Esq., the author of " Arts and Artisans," on the Corn-laws, which afterwards formed itself into one. of the inha bitants of Deptford, and a memorial to the - i4tioen was proposed and carried nnanimously. f u e •as r th h e el o d rg a a t n t is h organisation of Wind sor i e C l a ‘, s n t l t e i -, c o o n r nl.-floanw dayA e m ve e n e i t n in g f Association, proposed at the public meting held on Wednesday last, at the Latymer school-roo m.
