LIFE DEPARTMENT. J. T. CLEMENT, Esq Actuary. A sum far mo re th an equa l to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific su m, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the i mmediate payment of the premium for 5001. only.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged lay the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or tr. ated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial avid well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some di s ea se , which, for want o f careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrons consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

The resolution, he said, was a long one, and if they were now met in the Cloth Hall-yard .of Leeds for the first time to ask themselves whether the matters therein affirmed were true, and 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 doubters waiting to be convinced, ard desirous to hear .arguments in support of each a ll ega ti on , h e s h ou ld h ave shrunk from the task—the physical task, the exertion of voice needful to do justice - to the moving of the resolu tion. But surely in this town of Leeds, in that Cloth Hall-yard, at that season, immediately after two con tested elections, where on so many occasions they had heard one side of the question most fully, most ably argued, and when they had heard from those steps lame and impotent, and halting, and shrinking attempts some times to touch the other side of the question, but much more to keep out of sight from the manufacturers of Leeds the real sentiments of the parties pretending to approve what they there secretly, but in other places openly opposed, the principles of free trade, surely, he said, in that pilace and at that time of day, those things, to their minds who t were met there, spoke for themselves, and needed no argument from the mover.—(Cheers.) Mr. T. PLINT came forward to second the resolution, and was received with loud cheers. He said that the speeeh which had been delivered by Mr. West would re lieve him from the necessity 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 contained in it, need not be urged at length before the people of Leeds, inasmuch as the subject had been so completely exhausted by those able men who had so recently appeared among them, and more especially by Mr. Ilume—(Cheers)—whom this great mercantile community, to their lasting disgrace, had rejected, and sent in his place the worst enemy they could have—a supporter of monopoly and of rstrictions upon trade.— (" He'll never go again.") In the observations he was about to make, therefore, he 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 ever, he.might boallowed to say, in reference to what had fallen from Mr. Gardiner, that at another time and under different circumstances, he should have felt no difficulty in supporting a resolution which had for its object an extension of the Suffrage and the Vote by Ballot.—(Hear, hear.) , He belonged to an associa tion, the fundamental principle of which was, that Household Suffrage was the right of the people.— (Cheers.) But, at the same time that he gave his adher ence to the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association, he also supported the Corn-law agitation.—(" Hear, hear," and an exclamation of " What do you do it for ?") Why ? Because he believed that they were not in a po sition, in the present state of public opinion, within the time which was essential to save the country from the ruinous effects of the Corn-laws, to obtain an extension Of the suffrage.—(LoUd cries of " Hear, hear.") Why did he say this ? Because among the ranks of Re formers there was great division of opinion. The middle ; classes, who constitute the main strength of the empire, were not with them, and therefore, whilst he would see k -by every constitutional means to promote an extension of the tuffrage, he would not abandon what he conceived to be of equal, if not of greater importance, especially to a trading community like that of Leeds, the Corn-law agitetion.e---(Cheers.) He remembered having stated at a meeting of the Association to which he had referred, in the month of February last, that be believed the repeal ,of the Corn-laws would only :be carried under one or two circumstances ; first, by a close union between the middle and working classes ; and next, by the pressure of some great calamity arising out of the necessary ope ration of those laws.—(Hear, hear.) He believed that that union must be the result of some years of anxious inquiry on both sides, and he was firmly convinced that it would not be established in time to save the country from .the impending ruin threatened by the Corn-laws. In order that such union might be cemented, when the exigencies of which he had spoken should arise, it was necessary tb agitate public opinion on the subject, and he was convinced that when the masses were once thoroughly enlightened, no Legislatere could long resist their ittpeal. He would here take the opportunity to correct an error made on the part of many persons favouralle 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 doravaiiey•of those beretests etead 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 the Corn-law s ; but the primary cause of the distress was quite apart from any such considerations.—(llear, hear.) The ex isting system restricted the population of this country, advancing at the rate of 400,000 or 500,000 a year, to 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 the 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.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Plint 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 uite the reverse, and when they saw so many thousands of person's 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 b e exem pt 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.) ,The pro-Corn-law men found fault with the anti-Corn law party for making exaggerated stat emen t s as t o w h a t the price of corn and provisions would be under a reveal of the existing system. He believed that the effects which would accrue from a repeal of the Corn-laws, had been exaggerated; but he would ask whether their position would not be infinitely better, supposing that the price of corn was not lowered a single farthin, if the working classes could obtain wages for six days' labour instead of four.—(Loud cries o f " h ear , 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 w ou ld t e ll t h em why. Wherever they gave to any set of men a monopoly in the s upply of any particul a r arti c l e , th a t ar ti c l e was sure to be rendered bad, dear, and scarce.—(Hear.) It was not in human nature to be otherwise. He would give them a familiar instance of the truth of this. If there wee only a single coach between any two particular towns, the con sequence would be that a man would travel at a snail pace and be charged an extravagant fare. But let an opposition coaeh 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 conse quence was what he had before pointed Out. Mr. Plint then proceeded to show that all restrictions on trade were injurious and concluded his address amidst loud applause. Mr. A. GARDINER, a Chartist, said he was glad to con gratulate the Chairman on the orderly way in which the men before him had conducted themselves. There were none, he 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 waz the monopoly class legislation that was the cause of all of it.—(Hear hear, and loud cheers.) He 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, therefore, no chance of get ting a repeal of the Corn-laws from the present House of Commons, he was in favour of changing the fran chise.--(Cheers.) He would conclude by moving an amendment. He had come quite unprepared for doing anything of the kind, b u t thinking that the statements in the resolution were not strictly true, he had deter mined cotnngt is 3 to move an amendment. He then this rea meeting ei tlr, amend ment, which w a s as follows : ~ That of opinion th a t th e ca u se of the distress of the franchise, and mainly a tt r ib u t a bl e to the monopoly theof thferanehisei s and that it will never be removed Fri s a p g e e al c o i f : sound mind, and untainted with extended to every man of twenty-ono years crime.

Hume and Aldam, the reforming and free trade candidates, but the constituency 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 tha 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 MARSHALL, seconded the amendmont. 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 cause of the cruel privations and embarrassment of the manufac turing classes, and that delay in the application of a remedy will alike add to the intensity of the evil and the difficulty of its cure, enters its solemn and indignant pro• test against the postponement of all inquiry and awns. sion on this important subject by the Legislature as a dereliction of duty, and as inclizating a disregard to that cry of suffering, and that urgent prayer for legislative in. terference and relief, which has been sent up from thy millions of our manufacturing population." He said he would make ono or two observations with respect to the operation of machinery. Ho had seen on the Continent, with his own eyes, that which, had he not been a witness to it, he should not perhaps have so readily credited. When he went on the Continent in 1.839, 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 Vvrvier, 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. MARCH 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 Corn-laws, to the musidera don of Parliament, and that you will not ex;:reise your prerogative to prorogue the two Houses until these im portant subjects shall have undergone full discussion. " And we will ever loyally and affectionately pray for your Majesty's health, your domestic happiness, and the prosperity of your reign." The memorial to be presented by Earl Fitv,villium. The Rev. 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 JOHN CLIFF seconded the motion, which wtw carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then proposed, and themeeting separated about half-past three o'clock. BRISTOL. . • TUESD/Y EVENING.—In consequence of a requisition, originating with the tradesmen of 0 - 3 Ward, a public meeting of the inhabitant of Castl o .%, Precincts was held last evening in Castle-green. The statements made by 'HENRY GEORGE FOWLER, Esq., a highly respectiibl e 'merchant, and the Consul of France at this port, .".;ere received With marked attention. One circumstane:a i n part i cu l ar, d eserves to b e po i nte d out. Mr. Fe jw i er states that he had, in common with many otters, taken early advantage of the facilities of fereo, by the operation of the sliding scale to operate l'Argely 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 dons merchant could long continue in the corn-trade. Mr. BOUCHER, in moving the first resolution, said op pression at present was intolerable ; but it had always been found in all ages, that, when it arrived at that point, deliverance was at hand.—(Hear, hear.) Pha raoh took the straw from the children of Israel, and insisted upon their making bricks of stubble ;it was then the cry of insufferable oppression arose, which brought their deliverance.—(Cheers.) What caused the American revolution ? Oppression ! What caused the French revolution ? Oppression ! But he still hoped there was something better in store for this country. They could produce abundance of manufactures for the whole world, and all they asked was to be allowed the means of exchanging them for food ; this was what they asked for, and this they must and would have.—(Cheers.) Mr. Boucher concluded by moving.the first resolution. Mr. BULLMAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. • C. J. THOMAS, Esq., proposed the next resolution, which having been seconded by Mr. DAscomne, H. G. - Fowl:Eß, Esq., Consul for France, rose, and said that h av i ng b een a free b urgess of th at , 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 of, the present Corn-law ; few merchants had more opportuni ties. His attention had been attracted to it from the ear 1827, because, being a pretty sharp calculator, he 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 h e f rom principle repudiated all trading in corn, from the conviction of the injustice of making a profit by the sufferings of humanity.—(Cheers.) H o (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 lie 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 Id. per lb. In Nantes, in Bordeaux, in Marseilles, and th roug h ou t France the pric e 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 battle of Acre.—(Hear, hear.) Ho (Mr. Fowler) thought the time had arrived when an al teration should take place in this law. It was that which filled their Bridewell ; itlras a want of b rea d t h at brought to their police co ur t every Monday morning crowds of cases of destitute and suffering humanity.— (Hear, hear.) During the last week a l argo num b er of foreign s hip s h a d 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 at one shilling per quarter duty, instead of employing our own honest sailors and British vessels to bring the cargoes at Bs. per quarter duty, as proposed by the expelled Minister.—(Hear, hear.) After the proposal and seconding of another resolution, Mr. COBSENS proposed, and Mr. BUTLER seconded, the adoption of an Address to her Majesty, to be pre sented by Earl Fitzhardinge.

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 said 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 hope that 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.

It is interesting to see how commerce is every year supplying new means of increasing the produce of the soil in this country. In addition to nitrate of soda, large quanti ties of the new manure called Guano have begun to arrive in this port from South America: From the experiments which have already been tried with it, it is believed to be the most powerful, concentrated, and portable of all manures, and to be not merely a stimulant like nitrate of soda, but to be full of nourishment for plants. It has succeeded with turnips, grass, and wheat. Some hundred tons have already arrived, and we understand that the Peruvian Government has granted an ex• elusive right of collecting it along the whole coast to a com prny of Liverpool merchants. By the same ship Which brought some hundred tons of Guano, were r eceived a number of Al 1-aces, a species of Lhama, remarkable for the length and fine ness of its wool, and which, it is believed, may be naturalised in this country with great advantage.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Leeds, con vened by William Smith, Esq.,. Mayor, on the presanta. Lion of a numerously and respectably signed requisition, including the names of the leading merchants, nr.nufac turers and tradesmen of the town, was held in tlia Cloth on Monday last, for the purpose of forward. ing a loyal and dutiful address to the Queen, praying her Majesty not to prorogue Parliament until the laws re stricting the trade in human food shall have undergone f u ll consideration ; and also to petition Parliament for the total repeal of those laws.-- Upwards of 5,000 per sons were present, and, with the exception of some slight opposition by the Chartists, a snore orderly and attentive meeting was never held in Leeds. Mr. Alderman JOHN GOODMAN was elected Chairman of the meeting. HAMER STANSFIELD, Esq., came forward to move the first resolution, and was received with loud and repeated cheers. He said, remember the great struggle at issue is between these two classes-4ietween the producers of wealth and the landed poseessors of it. The producer wishes to have the fair value of his labour, that he may live. The fowls of the air, the fishes of the sea, and the wild beasts of the forest can all provide for themselves; so also can man in a savage state, and why not man in a civi lized state ? Does civilization necessarily bring along with it starvation ? Impossible. The cause, then, is not in civilization, but in those barbarous laws which would disgrace even the savage state. The landed pro prietors of wealth are getting more than the fair value cif their property, by an unjust law, made by themselves, and they are determined to keep it, be their tifle to it good or bad.—(lfear, hear.) What says the Duke of Richmond ? "If the measure for an eight shillings' duty pass, we shall be obliged to lower our rents. Rather than do this we have turned out the 'Ministers who pro posed it, and will turn out their successors too, should they presume to touch our rents by any similar measure." Rent, rent, they must have. What say the country squires among themselves ? The Conservative exclaims to the Liberal, as I know for a fact—" What a foal you are to zupport an alteration in the Corn-laws ; you will lower your rents two hundred or three hundred pounds a-year."—(llear, hear.) Did they never give it a thought, I asked, whether they had a just title to this extra two hundred or three hundred pounds ? Not they, faith, was the reply ; they had, got it, and they would keep it, right or wrong. Gentlemen, that is Conservatism. What other meaning have the writings and speeches of the leaders of the Conservative party than plainly this, that they have allowed the manufac turing population to increase too rapidly, to become too powerful. and that they must be- reduced by one means or another within manageable bounds. Am I then, wrong in saying that the aristocracy are the adversaries of the industrious classes.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") Sir Robert Peel, in his speech, alluded in sympathising terms to one of this independent class who was found dead under his loom from starvation; but what has he done for this class ? Though the contest which now shakes the country is between the working_ classes and the aristocracy, the one c l ass represented by these starved weavers, and the other by the Duke of Bucking ham, what does this self-styled physician ? He gives words of sympathy to the poor man's class, and place and profit to the Duke.—(Hear, hear.)'' He is a physician indeed'( who, now that he has pocketed the fee, and though the case is one not admitting of delay, refuses to give any prescription at all.—(Hear, hear.) I know only of one medical character that he can be compared to (and I beg the pardon of that class for the simile), and that is the doctor of the regiment.-(Hear, hear.) P ar t of his duty is to stand by, with his watch in his hand, whilst the poor delinquent, who is tied up to the hal berds, is having the flesh peeled from his back by the humane laws of this most Christian country, and every now and then the doctor feels his pulse, and pronounces whether nature can bear any more.—(Shame.) The na tion is this poor sufferer—the nation has been and still is on the rack—a bad harvest would render the torture in- tolerable—the rainy days were the lashes on the back, and lean imagine Sir R. Peel consulting the barometer instead of his watch, to ascertain whether the people would bear any more. Let him beware; these meetings are the throbbings of the nation's pulse, and indicate a feverish and dangerous state. Has he, and have the privileged 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 difficulties 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 treater debt, arising from the wars and ex travagancies of previous reigns, and the aristocracy not only paying no taxes, but taxing th e people hesideafor their awn bnefiLfur_the _extra_ price_ they obtain for their corn by their own unjust law exo ieratea 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 !lave we not the same state of things hero ? )ur beloved Queen, anxious for the happiness of her people, taking their part against the privileged classes, tnd 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 in grain —mark that. Another was, the re moval of the salt tax ; a third, that the aristocracy should bear their share 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 e xempt e d t o a cer t a i n 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 Target seems to have been well aware. He had an aeunced himself as decidedly of opinion that an impost must be fairly and equally levied upon proprietors of every description ; and certainly this was a dectrine perfectly right and just. What mepness in the privi leged orders to resist it ; what selfishness—what guilt— and what folly, particularly when . the country had evi dently begun to inquire and think 1 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 in those edicts only required to contribute like the rest of ' the community to the repairs of the roads, nothing snore ; but no, the edicts are resisted by the Parlia ments ; the privileged orders had taken the alarm, and 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 2rofessor Smyth:—" The conduct of the privileged or derg on this occasion must for ever be held up to man 'cind as an example of the selfish blindness of which all inch orders are capable ; they would not concede in :ime. Animated by no one generous or patriotic feeling chat can he mentioned, they would not concede, and they, and everything that they loved and honoured, were con iequently buried in one common destruction. But they saw not their danger ; let others, then, take warning!" ft may be thought that, in calling attention to the pain ful period of the French Revolution, that I am seeking to excite the people.—(No, no.) Ido wish to excite them, but not to physical force ; that man is either a rool or a traitor to the best interests of his fellow-crea tures who dreams of such a thing, and in me, either as an ' individual or a magistrate, he will find his bitterest oppo aent.—(Hear, hear.) But I wish to excite the minds of he working classes to think, and to understand the real causes of their sufferings, and to take every constitutional means of removing them. Mr. Stansfield then moved the following resolution:— " 1. 'That great and increasing distress has been ex perienced during the last four years by the mercantile and manufacturing classes of the woollen district of which Leeds is the centre ; that the condition of the vorkmen engaged in the various branches of its staple :rade 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, from the frequent and 'arge fluctuations in the value of manufactured goods, Ind the frightful amount of insolvency which has taken ',dace amongst the retail traders of the nation ; and that the manufacturers have suffered in a still greater degree than the merchants, because they have had to bear the loss arising from the partial 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." PETER FAIRBAIRN, Esq., seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution; which was carried, only five or six hands being Vild up against it. Mr. Wsr. 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 he entirely concurred, for otherwise no persuasion could have induced him, as a mere matter of form, to propose to the thousands gathered before bins, 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 distress experienced in' this district, and generally throughout the manufacturing 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 P rov i s i on l aws _ . laws which exist for the solo and unjust advantage of one section of tho nation—aggravate the effects of defi cient harvests, and prevent the farmer from deriving any benefit from productive ones, practic a ll y d eny the right of the - people to exchange the produce of their industry for the food and productions of other nations —restrict a rapidly increasing population to the comparatively sta tionary supply of food raised from our own soil, thereby A ~;
