LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1841, THE CORN LANV,,. GREAT PUBLIC MEETING IN MAN CHESTER. MANCHESTER, TiIIIRSDAY. — This morning - a most crowded and respectable meeting 0 the inhabitants of this town was held in the large room of the Town-hall, to petition her Majesty not te s prorogue Parliament until they had taken into consideration the intense and aggra vated distress new prevailing in the manufacturing dis tricts, owing to the existence of the Corn-laws. The meeting was convened by the Mayor (W. • Neild, Esq.), upon a requisition presented to him, to which were at tached the names of no fewer than 918 of the most re spectable firms and individuals in the town. Shortly after 11 o'clock the chair was taken by the Mayor, who was surrounded on the platform by the lead ing merchants and manufacturers of the town. The. MAYOR, in commencing the proceedings of the day, said—All I have to request. of you is, that you will be kind enough to conduct yourselves peaceably and or derly, and to allow every speaker who addresses you a fair and a full hearing. With the subject-matter itself I have nothing to do. The subject itself is important to ell of us ; the requisition is numerously and respectably signed; and it is my duty to convene the meeting. The Town Clerk having read the requisition, the Mayor called on Mr. Absalom Watkin to move the first resolution. Mr. A. WATKIN said, this is not a meeting convened for a party purpose, or with a factious object. I disclaim and repudiate altogether the opinion which it has been endeavoured to make current, that our assemblage to day is an act of hostility, intended to impede and em barrass the administration which has lately been formed. The requisition originated with men who have a much higher and nobler object than that of embarrassing the proceedings of any administration. It originated in a deep sense of the general suffering and distress which prevails, and in an earnest desire that no delay should take place in apply:is:is a proper remedy to that suffering.—(Cheers.) That no . ...nistalie, or misrepresentation, or misapprehen sion may prevail, with respect to the resolution which I have to. move, I shall now read it :—" That the dis tress now experienced by all classes, from the great capitalists to the humble workman, is unparallelsd in extent and intensity ; that, from the want of demand for this produce, many factories are closed, and the work-people thereby are entirely out of employment ; that others are working short time, with a great con sequent diminution of the earnings of the employed ; that immense numbers of handloom weavers are unem ployed, and that others are working at a price inade quate to their support ; that one-eighth of the houses in this manufacturing district are untenanted, and that a large proportion arc paving no rent, and the population is consequently crowded together in a manner greatly destructive to health and injurious to morality ; that the want of employment, the low rate of wages, and the high price of food, leaving the labouring classes nothing to expend but in the provision shops, the distress has spread to the tradesmen who supply other articles of consumption ; and that all this calamity is aggravated by the want of confidence arising from the absence of any prospect of improvement while the present system of restrictive commercial policy exists."—(Applause.) It will be observed that the prominent feature of this resolution is the detail which it gives' of the general distress. This distress, the pressure of the times, is felt by all classes. There are at this hour, in Manchester and in the adjacent country, thou sands of industrious families who are in a State of extreme destitution. This' state of things has continued during many months; this state of things is progressing with fearfully accelerated speed. Every factory or print works which stops adds a number of honest industrious people to the list of those who are gradually wearing down to destitution, to the extreme of poverty.—(Hear, hear.) It has been, some months ago, ascertained that, in one district alone of this large town, and at no great distance from the place where we are now assembled, more than •V,OOO persons were existing—l cannot say living—upon less than 15d. a week per head. Since I came into this room it has been communicated to me that there has been an actual increase of death e . near)—tnat vation, which occurred j oAr ,tuna st,"' a little water in the 10..4„..:(5hame, shame,) an individual having a family r• sex children, and living in this town, has di a tl;in want with nothing but In such tits C 37 - , a be considered as feetious, if we inquire cumstances, ss ' it i s not factimi, w hat are causes of thisgetserta distres s ? I n suc h cir starle' it is patriotism, to i nqu i re assi - - saously what are the causes of the prevailing distress, . and to take every measure fo r th e i r i mme di ate re li e f The requisitionists believe—and they believe because they hare examined—that the main cause of the want of em ployment which exists, and of the general distress which is felt by all classes, but in its extremity by the labone ing classes—is the restrictive commercial polity of the country.—(Applause.) They believe that it is to be found in the existence of laws by which the food that we want is prohibited from entering the country, and by which the clothing that he would supply is prevented from going to those who want it.—(Hear, hears) It is with this, view-with a view of calling upon Parliament not to separate until this great question has been considered—with a view of calling upon the Queen — the fountain of justice—the appointed guardian and defender of her people, not to suffer the Parliament to be prorogued until they shall have taken into consideration the laws which, in our opinion, inflict upon the labouring population and upon - all classes such extremity of distress,- (Applrao:e.) But, not only I heard since I came into the meeting of an indi vidual dying from wants but a paper has been put into nay hands from the starving hand-loom weavers, in which they beg that the persons who got up the late tea meetings for their relief, and who are endeavour • ing to collect subscriptions to help them, that they will employ that money—for what purpose ? • For the pins pose of assisticg them to emigrate—to leave the country. —(Cries of " No, no," and" Shame.") Gentlemen, with the object I have named and for the reasons I have en deavourtd to give, and thanks to you for the patience with ss;iiich you have heard me, I beg to move, &c. (Mr. Watkin again read the resolution.) The Rev. W. 7.',Plienaow was next called On. He said: we are assembled this morning to contemplate, more especially, the distressing condition of our working popu lation. I echo the sentiment which has been so clearly and well expressed by the preceding speaker. The dis , tress is universal ; it pervades all parts of the manufacs tering or working community : some Ministers of the Gospel in this town have paid a little more attention than others to these matters ; and I hold in my hand docu ments of the most affecting character. I hold in my hand a Report drawn up by the agents of the Manchester and Salford Town Mission ; that Mission occupies 47 districts, each of which contains from 100 to 110 families; so that at least 5,000 families come under their influence; and in daily labouring in this large portion of the popu lation, they are necessarily brought into intimate ac quaintance with the character and eohtlition of the poor. As the following statements Uri! give an idea of the state of the working classes, indivi , dual cases are omitted . ; they relate to the different dis tricts only. In the C l .arlestown district, the missionary states his convit ion - "that more than ore third of the people are unemployed at present, and that a still greater num l :aer are suffering from the reduction of wages." In the district near to Bury-street, Salford, the missionary says—" One half of the people are complaining of want of labour, and a great number are out of emplowment altogether." In another district the missionary says— " Many are destitute of fuel from want of employment. What the proportion is of those who are unemployed, I am unable to say, but I know it is very many." • - The missionary in St. Mary's district, which extends to Withy - - grove, says—" One half of the people are in distress from want of employment; and several decent families have been obliged to part with their furniture and other articles, to save their lives," In the district near tl Peter-street, one-half of the inhabitants are working short time, and one-fourth are nearly unemployed ; the misery of hundreds of families is such as to defy descrip tion. In a district in Hulme, the missionary says— " My district has the appearance of comfort ; but there is a great number - who are out of work, and who are suffering in silence. Between Oxford-road and Brook street, the missionary says—" Poverty prevails to a very great extent, and the general cry is that they have no thing to do. Indeed, there is scarce a family in which I have not met with an individual wanting employ ment." On the other side of Brook-street, and be tween it and Downing-street, it is stated—" Many are unemployed, and the wages of others are so much lowered that many are obliged to let off rooms in a house which they formerly had to themselves. There are many who say that things cannot be worse, and who are consequently regardless of what means may be adopted." And in Chancery-lane, in Buxton-street. Lon don-road, in Travis -street, in Pollard-street, in the Old ham-road district, in the Blakeley-street district—in them all there is nothing but non•employment, and the most fearful distress. Reference has been made to the hand-loom weavers, and I will just read the remark which is made will regard to the Ancoats-lane district. " The condition of the people is truly appalling ; vast numbers are out of work, and many are filled with dread ful apprehensions that they shall perish of hunger. There are many hand-loon weavers who can only earn, when in full work, ss. or 6s. a week, and whose condition, when but partially employed, is utterly deplorable. Many who live in cellars have nothing but a few shavings to lie on, on the damp floors, having sold or pawned their beds to get food and clothing." This is no ex aggerated account ; the description is within the truth. Who will dare to call in question the accuracy of these statements ? I challenge investigation. I say fearlessly, before my townsmen and before my God, that, so far as I have investigated, and I have done so to some extent, I can substantiate every item of these most fearful and lamentable accounts. My friend, Mr. Beardsall, I know has been very active among the poor ; and, if I be not taking his work out of his hands, I will read a single earnings includingar are l e . hundred 14s. 6d., sentence from the report whi c h h e h as h an d ed i n ; of sixtwhicheen families t h the average gt visited, and t etz individuals, that is Bid. per head per week ; and, supposing a par tial rent to be paid, this redenes it to a peeny per head per day for food and clothing. H e adds, " I have fre quently asked some how do you live •, your means are not sufficient to provide you with food alone ?" and the general reply is, " Why, Nt . t_! get a ;it 10 food when we can, and clam it out."—(Applause.) The above, I believe, is the perishing condition of some thousands of f am ili e s in Manchester.

Mr. W.

REVISION OF VOTERS. (YESTERDAY.) CITY OF LONIATS. The REVISING BARRISTER took his sea; on the Bench at ten o'clock. After some cases of a similar nature to those on wit - :SY judgtnent had been pronounced yesterday were heard before the Court, with the same result, Mr. Quin said he was totally at a loss how to act. Mfg Xlilnes, who revised the City list last year, and who had the adttintttge of fire or six years' practice in the same capacity, and who, it was consequently natural to suppose, had acquired a vast fund of information, and maturely considered all the provisions of the Act, held such service to be good. On the list of the Fishmongers' Company coming un der discussion, Mr. Quin objected to the name of Mr. Henry Christie, hatter, of 35, Fenchurch-street, being retained, on the ground that he became a liveryman of the Company, by purchase, after the 31st of Match, 1831. Now, by the 32d clause of the Reform Bill, any person becoming . a liveryman by purchase, and nut by servitude or patri mony, after the 31st of March, 1831, was disqualified from voting. Mr. Christie had served his time to his father as a felt-maker; and, in 1839, he became a livery man of the Fishmongers' Company, and having served his time to rt felt-maker, he could snot consequently be come a liveryman of' the other Company by servitude. Mr Douse, the clerk of the Fishmongers' Company, handed into the Court Mr. Christie's certificate as a liveryman. Mr, Quin inquired whether Mr. Christie paid a greater sum as " redemption" than the fees required of a person who had served his time regularly to the trade ? Mr. Douse—l don't think the Act requires of me to answer that question. Mr. Quin —The Court I trust will feel it necessary to know how the right was acquired. If Mr. Christie acquired under the law which gives such privilege, they should be informed if it were acquired by purchase, whether indirectly or otherwise. Mr. Douse again declined to answer. Mr. Sewell said he had been for n years a clerk in the Chamberlain's -office. Mr. Christie, ,although having : I served his time in the Feltmakers' Company, was desirous of becoming' a member of the Guild of Fishmongers, and, in consequence, petitioned the Court of Aldermen. It was his (Mr. Sewell's) opinion, and also that of the Town Clerk's, who was considered a high authority in all matters connected with the rights and usages of the , .Qity, that if Mr. Christie were admitted by redemptionoe would not be qualified to vote ; and, therefore, he w4s admitted by .servitude. He quite disagreed from this proceeding, but the Court of Aldermen said they acted on precedent; although he was not aware of any precedent to justify them in such a course for 150 years. Tile Revising 13arrister—According to the certificate I now hold in my band he has been admitted by servi tude, and I can go no further than that documeist. Mr. Quin —That was so far as the Court of Aldermen went. But the question was , what 'would be the fate of Mr. Christie's vote before a Committee of the House of Commons ? It had been shown by an officer of long standing in the Chamberlain's•office, that the prot3Ced ings on the part of the Court Of Aldgrmen)fit's:unusudt. He trusted.the Court would dissent—as h'riVas sure a Committee of the House of Commons would—from what was nothing more than a juggle of the Court of Aldermen, who, he was sure, had gone beyond the law. Mr. Douse said Mr. Christie had paid no more than the ordinary fees. After some further discussion the Court determined that Mr. Christie's name was entitled to be retained on the list. THE MARKETS.

From tae statements of the police, it appeared that the prisoners rented a house of the deceased in St. Thomas's-street, and that yester day evening his wife went to inquire after the responsibility of a person who had resided with the m, and had applied tor lodgings in Hunt's house. After she had been there some few minutes, the two men being indebted to her husband for rent, Atkins said he thought it was a mere excuse, and that she had really come to ask for the lent. Mrs. Hunt replied she did intend to mention that, and some angry words ensued, which induced her to go in search of her husband. In the meantime he had followed her, but they missed each other on their way. On arriving home, not finding Mr. Hunt, she returned, and to her great horror found him lying dead at Atkins's house. Elmes, the superintendent, said he found the mark of a blow under the left ear, and had no doubt the deceased had been in knocked down in a scuffle. Atkins said the man hadfallen a fit, and that neither of them ea touch the prisoners were ed him. Kelsey also denied having used any violence, d. manded un til after the Coroner's inquest. An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, when the J ury, after a lengthened enquiry, returned a verdict of Died by the visitation of God.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEVI'S.: FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TlMES.—There has been so long an expeannien rm the city that recourse .wauld be had Government teal loan, and that all the financial difficulties of the country; would be solved 'by some sweeping measure, that the declaration of Sir Robert Peel last night that the sum or nearly 2,500,000 L would have to be provided for the , current year, and that further financial measures would. not be submitted to ,Parliament during the present Session, has given a decided firmness to the Public Securities. Previous expectation - was not confined, even to a funding of Exchequer Bills, but it was anticipated, that there would be a fresh creation of Stock, and hence the beneficial effect of a declaration which amounts to• no more than a notice of a vote of credit: • But there are other causes which tend to remove a depression in the • Money Market, and' which make the Stocks assume their 'natural buoyancy, The French loan was expected to be -. of such magnitude, and the idea. was at times so prevalent that it would draw a great quantity - of - money out of the country,. and thereby create an adverse state of the exchanges, that it hung like a dead weight over the Money Market, and rendered every operation uncertain. Now it is known that the amount of that loan is only 6,000,0001 instead of 40,000,00C1., an amount so trifling that it is not to be expected the Paris bankers will . allow any portion .of it to find its way into our market, one cause of uneasiness is entirely- removed. The belief also that France is better disposed towards the present than to wards the late Ministers also has its beneficial effect, not so much shown by an advance in the quotations as by an increase of firmness and general confidence. There is always a constant investment in Consols by the publida and almost on every occasion the bona fide purchases: greatly exceed the sales. Hence, the natural tendency is always to a rise, without any further impulse than the mere removal of a depressing cause. When left to the full operation of public action, the English Securities rise almost as a matter of course. Nevertheless, the Money Market is, according to some accounts, rather uneasy, from the great depression of trade and demand for money, which has not affected the Funded Securities. The failure of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., of Bath, has occasioned little or no effect in the City. The cause is said to be their connexion with some of the clothiers of Wiltshire, whose acceptances they held to a considerable amount. The other local Banks had kept their supp Fee in London, and were so fully provided, immediately on the failure of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., that they have not been in the slightest degree effected by that event. The whole liabilities of Messrs. Hobhouse and CO. in the shape of notes and deposit s, are said not to exceed 100,00ut ADVERTISER,. —The Brazil mail has not arrived: yet e .but aceseants via She United States, we - hay' • -, teW items' of ne 7 ,-.--,•4 d*fi•ing aaeaesing notiei;. A intar4e other things, we notice 'the account of an aifsir, ivLich n'eserves attention, viz., the delivery of n forger bynhe Hamburg authorities to the Government at Rio. The necessity of repressing crims in all parts of the world, moi e especially where breaches of trust are concerned, has long been felt, even if no decided course of action • has been adopted in reference.thereto, and if some exer • tion had been made by the different Powers, we should have probably heard less of those infamous cases of Swartwouting, or robbery of bank tills and public trea suries, by the cashiers in different parts of the United States. 'That it is considered a subject worth negoci ating upon, we have every evidence from the fact of several nations in their treaties of peace, the French under Napoleon, for instance, having introduced clauses expressly providing for the mutual delivery of all refu gee criminals, not political off, nders, at the demand of either Power. The particulars of the present case, as they appear in the Rio accounts, are briefly thdt, about the beginning of this year some large bills, accepted by one of the first Brazilian houses, and discounted at Rio by various merchants, were refused payment by that b oes ,e, alleging that the acceptance was not its own, and. many COnfitOing opinions were afloat, which the lawyers, not better there than elsewhere, tried to confuse as much as was in their power. The amounts were from 3,001. to 4,000/. The project for a railroad in Brazil had been taken up with much warmth by . the Government, as the state of the internal communication rendered something of the kind very desirable. The exertions snaking by Surra y Rull to place the finances of. his country in an easier position, have in duced some parties here to invest again in the Spanish Securities, which have in consequ e nce iniprove d to-day,.. the Actives haviog touched 22 to For the other Foreign Securities , there is, however, but little demand or inquiry at present. and this is especially the case with the Portuguese and South American Bonds. POST.—Money has been scarce, which is to be attri buted to bank failures announced yesterday, and.the ina bility of certain houses connected with the retail trade to arrange their acceptances in a satisfactory manner, which were returned on the 4th of the month. Report speaks favourably of the state of the affairs of Messrs. Ilobhciuse, and that very little, if any , lo ss will be sus tained by the creditors. It is generally considered that the sole cause of the stoppage was the sudden embarrass ment occasioned by the failure of the woollen house :and their connections, mentioned 3 esterday. The appearance of advertisements announcing the payment of the present half-year's interest due on the Chilian Bonds, speaks highly for the good faith of the Gee-en:went, and for its punctuality since it has resumed. From t-Le exertions which it has made to meet its en gagements, AS far as it was able, with the foreign credi tor, some arrane,ement, no doubt, may be shortly ex pected to liquidate . the' overdue Coupons. The price which the Stock heere at present; in comparison wit h the value of that of other States in pnssession of advan tages not greater than those of Chit, will doubtless prove to them'all the necessity of keeping up the na tional character, laid what is the result of such exer tions. The means ta ken to im p rove the natural re sources and commerce of the c ountr y have hitteerto not. been unsuccessful ; and if the plans already fortn.ed be fully carried out, n' reason exists but that Chili will again stand high in monetary credit. CHRONICLE.—The depression in the English Funirs yesterday was produced by an apprehension that thee Premier would allude to proposals fur a new loan or for new taxes. It appears that he prefers the hacknied juggle of an issue of Exchequer Bills and thimble-rig ging with the Bank of England, as the means of obtain ing " a temporary provision" to meet the deficiency of the year, and thus endeavour to hang cut from hand to moeth until February. No wonder that Lord John Rus sell should have stated that he heard with deep concern the Prime Minister of the day declare that he di l not in tend to bring forward any measure during the present Session for the purpose of equalizing the revenue and nnnenditure , of the 'country. There is an annual deficit of-2,SCf.hOcCI, and an absolute cumula deficiency •of 7,500,000/. in the public exchequer. The tax-bearing resources of the country are exhausted. The ex the port trade is languishing and wasting rapidly a wa y , while masses in the manufacturing towns are starving. The mil-lowncrs aro working half time, and some of them no time at all ; the banking interest; are .disquieted and fearful ; the exchanges show an unfasourable balanne of trade, and our stock of bullion - is but trifling. Insel vency and bankruptcies are occurring in every quarter: The produce of the ha rvest is deficient ; a g; eat change has taken place in the political administration of the country, and the head o f the successful p srty for power comes forWe.rd, after an interval of several months, to meet: the Representatives of the people. Under these extraordi nary circumstances, the chief thing the spec . :ons Sir Plausible does is to move for certain papers conn'o'ted with measures " for warming and ventilating" the tevo Houses in which the Members meet to deliberate on the' affairs of the nation. The Continental Exchanges again show a tendency to give way, and in Hamburgh and Amsterdam business was transacted at lower rates than last post day. We understand that the affairs of the Nottingham and. Nottinghamshireßanki ng Company have been examined , • and that their position is such as to lead to expectations that they will soon be enabled to resume business. Many of the Shareholders are wealthy. SUN.—The slight depression observable in the Money Market yesterday was relieved to-day (the failure of the banking firm of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., at Bath, which, it was supposed, might influence the value of stock, haying produced no effect), although money to day in the Discount Market commanded a full rate of in terest. For present delivery, Consols have realised 891 to 89+, and for the Account 90* to 1 . Exchequer Bills have been done at a premium of 12s. to 145., and East India Bonds at 2s. to' 4s. premium.
