In the House of Lords last night an interesting con versation took 'place on the subject of the . Corn-laws ; ;and we are happy see Lord BnouGliAm back in his dace, and taking his share in the good work. His Noble Friend, the Earl of RADNOR, that untiring advo cate of justice and truth, took the lead in it, and demon strated tha! - • the introduction of foreign corn would by no means displace an equal quantity of home-grown ;corL, and that wages would not fall as corn fell in price. lord AslinunTo:: contrAieted th:!'Nohle. Earl, without refatitt him, aind failed to prove that auy labourers were so badly paid as the Jumper-fed The Earl of RittEwooo admitted the existence of manUfac:aring distres, but ascribed it to overtradinp,., i.if that were not another name for the want of a market, .4Pur which the Corn-kWs deprive the manufacturer. 1. Lord BROUGHAM * said he wa3.ready, two years ago, to'invve at the bar that low wages would not result :.from low-priced corn, but he was so much opposed that --he : gave up his motion. gOmelis Were forwarded a stage, and their Lord :.ships then adjourned. • •., In the House of Commons Mr. O'CONNELL convicted r. sergeant J.kca.sOi 'of having repeated a false state luevt to the House, without knowing the Christian r j , 132 , or residence ,of the author of the false statement, •or i ifu yenr to which it referred ; but it was a charge agu. ast Mr. O'CoNNELL, and that made the Learned ,S, rl4 lint imbibe it greedily, and hastily throw it out in the House of Commons. Mr. Sergeant J.-11CSON ap peared not at all ashamed of being so cdnyictal. The Clerk of the Peace for Hertford was calletl to the bar, and questioned why, lw .did not comply, with th 3 crier of the House to supply a copy of the register of the electors of Hertford. He answered that the register was not in his keeping, but in the keeping of the Sheriff, and that he could only supply the House with a copy of a copy. After a short discussion, he was ordered, on Mr. T. DUNCO3.IBE'S mo tion, to produce a copy of the register of the Hertford electors at the bar of the Hotise this day. Mr. WYNN having waived his motion about prosecu ting Mr. WEBSTER for alleged bribery, Lord JOHN RUSSELL proceeded to explain to the House that he did not intend to bring for ward the Corn-laws. The Noble Lord referred shortly to the outlines of the arguments he should have used had he brought forward the question, in order to show that agitation of the public would more likely be lessoned than increased by discussing the measure in Parliament. The Noble Lord also adverted to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S charge, that the Ministers had two budgets, which he po sitively denied, and ridiculed the imputation as unworthy of belief and unworthy of receiving any countenance From Sir ROBERT PEEL. He proposed to tako the esti matec for Canada and China, and a vote of credit for the miscellaneous estimates for six months from the month of April. The Noble Lord pointed out the neces sity of appealing to the country, and declared that if the decision were against the party now in power they would hasten to resign. Sir ROBERT PEEL rather taunted the Noble Lord for speaking on the Corn-laws, when he did not bring for ward the question. He declared more than once that he wished to take no advantage of his present position in impeding the Government. He thought the dissolution should be speedy ; he asked the Ministers for a declara tion that the new Parliament should be speedily as semblet-!, and having obtained it, contributed to promote the business for !lie rest of the evening, with a view of hurrying on the dissolutjon as much as possible. Mr. VILLIERS observed that he and his friends had been reproached with going too far on the Corn-laws ; but now, when the Government had taken the Corn law question out of his hands, and proposed a measure extremely favourable to the landlords, they would not al low it even to be discussed. He thought, however, such a course would promote the success of the cause, and he would encourage the country by reminding it that no good cause ever succeeded at first. The land lords looked forward to a majority in the next Parlia ment and intended to stop all discussion. Mr. WAKLEY Addressed the House at some length on the dissolution, and as!ced Sir R. PEEL what he meant to do about the Poor-law. Sir ROBERT had stated that he 7ould support the law with some modification. Mr, LABOUCHERE defended the Government at s: me len and explained that they meant to bring forward g other moc. cations of the Commercial Code. He thought . no contest wou:: 1 . be more fearful than that of the pro tected interests on the ottl side, and the hungry people on the ; and the Government had taken no extreme course in entiezvouring to avoid that. The CHANCELLOR o ,l* the EXCHEQUER proved that the Tory history of the finances not correct, either as to the presumed deficiences of the Whip, Or the assumed economy of the Tories. Sir R. PEEL and Mr. HERRIES both replied to the CHANCELLOR. Mr. HUME and Mr. GOULBURN followed, and then the House went into a Committe of Supply. Sums were voted for Canada and the war in China, and the House resumed. _ _ _ The Ecclesiastical Commissioners Bill and the Bribery Bill were read a second time, and some other Bills were forwarded, as if the House could not give up the ruling passion even when it is at death's door. It would be better to leave such work to its successor. The House was for some time engaged with the Cltrk of the Peace for Lancaster Compensation Bill, and ad journed at a Quarter before One o'Clock. Every day brings us nearer a dissolution. In the House of Commons last night Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave up his intended motion on the Corn-laws, because it would be disrespectful to the House to bring it on after the vote of censure. Probably some of the Noble Lord's own friends took a similar view, and he feared, if he mooted it, a double opposition. The, Noble Lord an nounced the intention of Government to take a vote of credit, and Sir ROBERT PEEL distinctly stated that he would throw no obstructibn in the way of Government. He expressed an opi nion that dissolution ought to take place as soon as possible, and that will be the result. Theßight Hon. Baronet is also of opinion that the new Parliament should be assembled as soon as possible, and he made it a condition of for warding the measures necessary to a dissolution that Lord Joux RUSSELL should state that the Ministers meant to call the new Parliament to gether as speedily as possible. Though Lord JOHN admitted that as a general prin ciple it was wrong in Ministers to state what advice they meant to give, he had no hesitation in assuring Sir ROBERT PEEL that the Ministers would advise the Crown to call the new Parliament together as soon as possible. The Noble Lord stated, that after the vote of Saturday morning, he should be anxious not to hold office a day longer than was neces sary to ascertain the opinion of the country. We are on the eve, therefore, of a dissolution, and ere long a new Parliament will represent the nation. A fortnight may perhaps elapse before the prorogation, but that will, we believe, be the extent of the delay, and those who mean to have a voice in the elections must at once bestir themselves. We must again then remind the electors, that on them now depends the future fate of the country. They must answer to posterity, they must answer to the Most High for their conduct and their votes. A most important principle is at stake. Hitherto commercial legislation, under the mask of protection, has been a great system of cunningly devised fraud. It is nothing but plunder in the solemn disguise of law. So ciety cannot prosper under such a system, and the misery which arrests our attention in every condition of life—the poverty and crimes of one class, the riotous luxury and dissipa tion of another, the want of employment and the want of food which meet us every hour, attest the evils of this system. At length it has reached the Government. The revenue feels the effects of restraints on industry and of mutual plunder. The Ministers have been obliged to declare against the system of fraud in disguise. Their opponents openly advocate the system of plunder. Between these two systems and two parties the public will speedily be called on to decide. Political expediency, of "which fewcan judge, must now make way for higher principles, and all who respect virtue, all who prefer honesty to fraud, all who wish to see the law based on jus tice, and be worthy of moral and Christian men, must unite to put down a vile system of plun der, of which, for the first time, perhaps, in the history of mankind, a great nation is asked by the Tories to give a so lemn approval. But the electors can only do that by sharing the crime. A law cannot con vert wrong to right ; and those who vote for the support of robbery by law, will be as much the accessaries to theft, as if they were to arm and equip a highwayman, and share his plunder. When Sir ROBERT PEEL was about to bring tbrward his motion of want of confid ence , i t was announced that it was intended to prevent the discussion which Ministers proposed to take on the Corn-laws. That object has been obtained. The landed gentlemen who, on former occasions, stifled the debate, who would not allow the re presentatives of some of the towns to speak, have again been successful. They have prevented Lord joirs RUSSELL from bringing forward his motion. We are less surprised at their fears than at their success. There may be some technical objections to introducing the discussion after the vote of the House of Commons, but still we must own that we see with some reluctance that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has yielded to the cen sure of the monopolist;. We expected that he would have brought forward the motion in spite of them, that the public at large might have the advantage of the debate before they went to the hustings. As that is denied us, the' press must do what it can to supply the place of the Parliament, and kindle an enthusiasm in the people for what is good and true. It is a favourable sign that the owners of rent s'lould be so anxious to stifle discussion. They dread it because they know they are wrong. it must be for_ the people to strengthen their con viction. The people must take up 'the (pie:tic n the more warmly, since the House of the Mono polists has put it down. We rejoice, indeed, to know that they are doing so and the question is mooted in every town of the empire. Those who look to the House of Commons for a final decision will be deceived. The public is a far higher tribunal than Parliament, and a reference to it can not be prevented by the landlords. Though the subject is not to be brought forward in Par liament, it is our happiness to know that it will be heard at every hustings. Cheap Bread and No Monopoly will resound through the land. The Ministers are with us, the QUEEN is with us, the people are with us, justice is on our side, and though the landlords say the subject shall not be mooted in Parliament, they must by and by set their seal to the solemn and just de cision of the public, abolishing the Corn-law. Marshal SOULT resigned office on Saturday, and another Ministerial interregnum may be said to ha% e commenced in France. The resignation of the Alarsh2l was the result of a trifling Ministerial mistake. In the Chamber of Peers on Friday an amendment was carried upon the Recruitment Bill passed by the Chamber of Deputies. As the Deputies have closed their sessional labours, this amendment, though of no moment, is fatal to the Bill, which must be postponed. for another year. The amendment was proposed by General VAN BRUGEAX, and supported, among others, by the Duke of ORLEANS. Now the object of the Peers in carrying this amendment, was not so much to embarrass the Government as to resent the seeming con tempt with which, as a branch of the Legislature, they are treated by the Representatives of the people. For se veral years past it has been the custom of the Chamber of Deputies to pass a number of important Bills, send them up to the Peers, and adjourn ; thus in some sort com pelling the Peers to adopt them without amendments, or to incur the odium of rejecting them, and so throwing the affairs of the country into confusion. :The Peers in dignant at being made mere registrars of the votes of the Deputies, have taken the preient opportunity of assert ing their independence. Now, as the Government knew right well beforehand the deterMination of the Peers, it was an easy matter to have kept the Chamber of Deputies sitting while any Bills were under discussion in the Chamber of Peers. When it became known on Saturday that a Ministerial crisis had arrived, the Peers adjourned till Wednesday, to allow the Government time to deli. berate upon the course which it might think proper to adopt under such circumstances. Marshal SOULT was so ill on Saturday as to be unable the Chamber of Peers. He was greatly incensed to atterZ i . against the Dn. t .7 of !ILE , A . NS . for voting for the amend ment upon the Recruitin,Z - Lord BROUGHA.3I arrived on Thursday night in Paris from Italy, and on Friday started again for England. We are happy to learn that i 1 boviship enjoys robust health. The inaugural address of M. VIUTOfi WOO as a Member of the French Academy, appears in most of the Paris Journals of Friday. The assemblage of the Aca demicians on Thursday to receive the new Member wa , i very numerous. Many ladies of high rank were among the crowd of visitors. The Illoniteur announces that the Calypso frigate and the corvette Favourite sailed from Brest on the 3d inst., the former for Toulon, and the latter for the China seas. The Liz - Ac du Peuyle and the Almanack des Honneies Gens were seizes ord9r of the Prefect of Police ea Thunday last. The Commerce announces that the Duke de Montebello, the present Ambassador of France at Naples,Would positively suc ceed Count St. Aulaire as Ambassador at the Court of Vienna, and that M. Bois le Comte, the French Minister at the Hague, would proceed in the same capacity to Madrid. The SentineLe des Pyrennees has the following aftiOiee dated the Ist of June : "M. Ganicho Iturbide was arrested the day before yes terday at St, Jean de Luz, by order of superior authority. He, is at this moment in the prison of Bayonne, where he :s kept entirely seeltrled. 'We will not repeat the various accounts which are given of this arrest ; we have received nothing official on the subject, but it is certain that the grounds of it must be extremely important, since the gendarme stilifit wig to take the order for the arrest to St. Jean de Luz, was evjoinial to make all possible haste, and actually performed the jalirney in fifty-five minutes."—Le Constitutionnel. Our readers have doubtless not forgotten the unfortunate crew of the Delphine,. of Havre, whose melancholy shipwreck we related,*and who were left in the desert island of Campana, suffering the greatest distress, Anil waiting for the return of the Captain. We have great pleasure in learning their deliverance. Messrs. Lamotte and Co. communicate to us the following ex tract of a letter from Valparaiso, dated the 13th of Feb„ which contains this happy intelligence in the following terms : —°' The shipwrecked crew of the Delphine has just arrived at Valpa raiso, after having passed seven months in the island of Cam pane.

Thi approaching renewal of the debate in Parliament, which 131 Ly be properly termed a trial of strength between the two great political parties that divide the House, is almost the leading topic of conversation in the City at present, and as it is well known that it must terminate against the Mi nistry, some impatience Is manifested as to its duration. It appears to be admitted, however, that it is good generalship on the part of Lord John Russell. The commercial advices by the Stephen Whitney ere not by any means what our merchants .could desire. The dreadful anareny that prevails among the banking institutions of America has almost upreoted and destroyed public confidence, and the failure of one or two states to pay the interest on their deb's, helps to finish what the disgraceful fall of the Bank. of the United States had left undone.

On the previous day the Minister of Justice brought for ward a Bill for the maintenance of the Clergy, which was referred to a Committee. Tbis Bill divides Spain and her adjacent possessions into as many dioceses as there are civil provinces, with the exception of the. Basques, which are to constitute only one Bishopric. " The Archiepiscopal sees," says one of the Journals in giving a summary of the Bill, " are eight in number—viz., Madrid, Seville, Granada, Valencia, Barcelona, Saragossa, Burgos, and Corunna. The salary of the Primate is fixed at 90,000 reals, that of the seven other Archbishops at 60,000, and of the Bishops at 50,000. The latter are 39 in number ; the parish priests of the Ist class 9,000, ditto of the 2d class 4,000, of the Od class 1,500, and of the 4th 500, besides 7,000 coadjutorF. The parishes are laid down at 15,000. The upper clergy is to cost 12,216,000 reals per annum ; the parochial clergy, 109,000,000 ; the seminaries, 4,000,000 ; said the supplementary clergy, 14,200,000 in all 139,416,000 reals." The Bill for regulating military pensions was °ca.- pying the serious attention of the Deputies. It pro poses salaries to 6,676 officers, amounting to 30,862,350 reals, namely, 209 colonels, 179 lieutenant-colonels 348 commandants, 1,780 captains, 2,150 lieutenants, 1,770 sub-lieutenants, and 240 surgeons and almoners. On the Madrid Exchange on the 28th ult. bargains to th amount of ten millions of reals were transacted in the Fives at 27 for cash, 27h * h and 284 at various dates, Two bargains in the coupons N be capitalized for two millions of reals were done at 22h 22h for the 31st of May and the 3041 of July. On the 29th 31,600,000 reals were '.one in the Fives at 26/ 27 26/ for cash, and 27h for 60 days. FREE TRADE.- - A great meeting was held in the Bel fast Theatre on Wednesday, to consider the measure:: proposed by the Government for the reduction of duties on corn, sugar, and timber. Lord Charlemont was in the chair. Some excellent speeches were made on the occasion (of which we give an abridged report), and strong resolutions were pawed in favour of all the Go vernment measures. The people of Ireland appear to have an absolute horror of a Peel Administration. - SLAVE-GROWN PRODUCE. A writer in the Anti-Slavery Reporter puts " the inquiry to all, whether we should continue to suffer ourselves, however unwill ingly, to be a party to the great crime of slavery ; and whether we are doing what we can in the cause of aboli tion, whilst we continue to be, as consumers of the pro duction, the great supporters of the system." It is clear that the gentleman is not doing what he can to aid in the cause of abolition, while he wears cotton ruses tobbacco, or is in any way contaminated by stave-growa Raduce. He ought to go naked, or wear woollens—taking ow MA it is not contaminated by cochineal or indigo g a th ere d by slaves. If he, and such as he, will only confine theft philanthropy to themselves, and not play the tyrant over others, while they serve the slaves, their conduct may be most praiseworthy. We do not object to their abstain ing from using slave-grown produce, but we have a hor ror of their interfering to make other people abstain. THE MODESTY OF THE BREAD TAXERS is as remark able as their sense of justice. They tell the labourers that for every quarter of foreign corn brought into the country a quarter of home-grown corn will be displaced. At the same time they say that importing foreign corn will lower the prices one-third, and they expect to be be lieved when they affirm that more bread will not be eaten when the loaf costs 4d. than when it cost nd. At the same time they solemnly and in printed papers assure the labourers that if the price falls from 60s. to 40s. the la-. bourers will receive then less wages, filicy do not mean, therefore, to abate their rents nor lessen their fithpx, Whatever may happen they are resolved to lay' as large a share as they now have ; and while they Pretend to be the friends of the labourers they doom them to how all the loss, if any, of repealing the bread ' tax. The latfttrers,.however, are already ground down to the lowest stage of poverty, and any change in their condition must be for OW better. They will not allow the bread taxers to . throw ,on ;:heln the loss caused by the repeal, as the bread taxers have (1.0.1 the advantage of the tax. THE WEATHER.—On Thursday foreneefi, the 27th ult., about half-past nine o'clock, there fell at Fossey Consols mine, and places adjacent, a tremendous sh ower of rain and hail. The drops of rain were remarkably large, and the hail, or rather lumps of ice, when measured, were found to be two inches and a half in circumference. Had the wind blown strong at the time the hail, no doubt, would have given no small employment to the glaziers.— West Briton. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. COURT CIRCULAR. CITY, MONDAY EVENINO.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE. This house was opened last night for the summer season, and we fear, judging from the limited attendance on the opening night, the cashier will find himself, before the end of the season, " sitting on an empty treasury, fish ing for a budget in bottomless deficiencies," and obliged to resort to " a dissolution." Four courses were announced in the bill of fare; but, unfortunately, The Robber's Sister (the first piece), did not fetch a Handsel Penny (the se cond piece), nor was The King ond the Comedian (being, of course, the third), sufficiently powerful to avert (the closing effort) The Evil Eye. It is needless to criticise the performances, the whole is a failure, and cannot better serve the performers, who, in general, acqnitted' themselves creditably, than to advise them to shut up shop as speedily as possible, The English Opera House, although admirably constructed, highly ornamented, and exceedingly comfortable, appears bora to misfortune ; and under every successive management (and there have been some able ones), it seems to sink in public estima tion. We wish the present company Migeras, if they continue their labours, but we must candidly tell them that the game is a desperate one'. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN SIR C. NA PIER . I L r i fo . a u ; plane, J une 1841. . _ __ . Stn,—You are reported, in the Morning Chronicle of to-day, to have stated, at a meeting of electors held last night, that " if you believed Mr. Young had the slightest chance of success, you would at once retire," 491 tlso infuriro ty iyhp INt*ll you that yOu'4l*so a sei ec your wipinAiiiegi o submit our. respec tive Cl4mS"upon tie gorougli Vo'the test o.f a public meeting, I now, theferofe, In dll cotirtesy, challenge you to meet me at a public meeting of the Reform Electors on next Monday week. The Theatre at the Colossewn its Regent's Park, and Hall's Riding School, are both in the centre of the borough, and will each hold between 3,000 and 4,000 persons. That it will be impos:6ble to ex -elude non-electors entirely, I admit •, but every practi cable means may be adopted to confine the ntiieting to Reform electors, and I have no doubt that, in the actual state of the public mind, four-fifths of the individuals present will be of that character. Such a meeting will also afford no unfair test of the real state of public feel ing. I would suggest that the Chairman be agreed upon by both parties ; that two scrutineers be appointed, one on each side, and if, they differ as to the majority, or if they be requested to do so by four electors, that the numbers be counted, The candidate in the minority to retire immediately, . After your declarations of last night, I confidently hope that you will accede to this proposal, and concur with me in the propriety of placing the decision of this matter in the hands of the Reformers themselves. I have the honour to be, Your obedient Servant, G. A. YOUNG. To Commodore Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. &c. &c. &c, 67, Baker-street, June 5, 1841. have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th of June, challenging me to meet you at a public meeting, either •at the Colosseum, or at Hall's Riding School. You admit that it would be impossible to exclude non electors. What, then, would be the use of a public meeting ? I presume it would also be impossible to ex clude Tory electors. If they were the weaker, they would. naturally hold up their hands for you •, and if I was the weaker, they would hold up their hands for me. Under these circumstances, I have judged it proper to submit your letter to my Committee, who, I have no doubt, will propose some fair and honourable manner of ascertaining the opinion of the Reform electors, I can assure you, that if I saw the smallest prospect of your suc cess, I should not hesitate one moment in retiring; andl give you credit for the same feeling, for I cannot suppose, if you are a real Reformer, that you would run the risk of al lowing Marylehone to be represented by two Tories. I have the honour to remain, Your obedient servant, CHARLES NAPIER. To G. A. Young, Esq., &c. &c. &c. CORN LAWS. MEETING OF HE 'ULSTER ASSOCIATION. (Abridged from the Northern Whig.) l'n Wednesday a meeting of the Ulster Constitutional As sociation was held in the Theatre. Belfast, to take into consi deration the duties on sugar, timber, and corn, and the gene ral policy of each. The attendance was very large, and the enthusiasm most exciting. At about half-past twelve o'clock the Earl of Charlemont entered the meeting, and took the chair. His Lordship, as President of the As:a3ciation, then rose and spoke as follows ; Gentlemen—When last I addressed you, I took the liberty to tell you that a most imminent crisis was then impending over ila t country. 1 took occasion to tell you that the liberties of Ireland were in danger. It was but too true, as has since proved. I have now, however, to tell you, that a more imminent dart ger—incomparably more imminent—is impending over the entire country at this moment—the advent to power of a party already only too strong, and who have always been the invete rate enemies of Ireland, and of popular liberty.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.") But, Gentlemen, public opinion and the voice of a plaited people will amain, I am confident, rescue Ireland from the dangers which - threaten the extinction of her liberties. Gentlemen, I was on the point of leaving the coml.. try for London. I was actually about to embark in the vessel which waited for me, when my heart whispered that I might remain to serve Ireland, in Ireland.—( Protracted cheering. ) Gentlemen, I paused on the thought, I was ready to return. did return, and scarcely had 1 passed my own threshold when I received a letter from your excellent secretary, Mr. Sharman Crawford, from which I learned that the men of Ulster were again ready to come forward, npbly and manfully, in defence of the liberties of their eonntry ; and that the Ulster Assoe'ation were about to holdthis meeting, Gentlemen, when ever the people of Ulster—whenever the voice of liberty shall 01 upon me, Charlemont shall never be backward in respond -1,4 ;a Great approbation.) Gentlemen, I have already told yeti the v 9 breathe under an impending danger, and you will allow me to telryi4 th? q t iv 91 this. A Liberal and enlightened Government, in order to rals'e the supplies necessary to meet the expenditure of the country, proposed to do so, not by imposing additional taxation on the people, h4t apt.9l,ly lightening the taxation—( Hear)—while they sought to apply thwlrpowers to extending the comforts of th'e pour, promoting free' tirade, apd elmapeping food.—( Loud chew s.) Thus bravely did they ennfonl the de t hger hut what was the consequence ? That reckless party, who are this constant enemies of all improvement, took advantage of their proposition to excite against the .kinistry that interested class s .4o„lty Among whom their influence extends. They have rived so lormi4ab'p ap opposition to the measures of the Minis try that the danger ni their ptreat from tower, and of the ad% ent to power of agir eppeneriti, has heeeme an imminent as to make us tremble:.—( Roar, hear, and eries yf " Never,") I rejoice, Gentlemen, to hear you say nevus:, because iteladdens my heart to find Irishmen determined to be firm, unshrinking, t and unanimous,. in their resistance to the Tory p irty. be en, and if the friends of Ireland—the present Ali • niitry—kbik4lrAc I'a' restored restored to power, I have every eonfi -1 dem that they g. 14,4 4 .4 ‘Te i tu i r t y immensely more potent than hefoie_that their power t o wr yg jrnole would be found vastly increased by tne cheeks they hart regeM d- - -C heS'l!) adminis 'nn may depend on it. Gentlemen,under theif tration Ireland would become more free and happy, an. the einfiire r„ , nerally would be more signally ser v ed and bens - OA than biaokti.':--(Trmend e tts cheering, followed by " One cheer more.") The Hon. HEwitr CAULFIELD proposed the &rat resolution —" That we heartily concur in the principle contained in tfi,", resolution moved by Lord John Russell, on the 17th May last, viz.—That the resources of the country can he rendered ade quate to its expenditure by judicious alterations of protective and differential duties, without any increase of the pubic burdens." Mr. ADAM PLEA); seconded the resolution, MORN 1 Ni-; 141DIT10._N Mr. Ross said, there cannot be a dissentient voice as to the a present state of the country, and the general and heart-rend -mg distress which prevails.' The merchant and manufaii turer, "as well as the poor workman, all suffer at the present moment. This cannot be d e nied. Th et are all labouring under embarrassments of the most pain ful character ; but the working classes are suffering more acutely than the others. They have not sufficient, after the bare necessaries of life are provided for, to sup') themselves with the simplest comforts cf c. othing and other in dispensable matters, which to them are articles of luxury.— '(Loud cheering, and cries of" Hear, hear.") The cau,c is a permanent one, and will remain so till some such remedral measures as the Government proposes be introduced, to correct the suspended energies of trade.—( Hear.) Mr. Ross tken en tered into lengthened details on the effects of monopoly on va rious branches of trade ; and then, speaking of the Corn-lows, said—l have heard three leading objections urged against an alteration of the present system with great earnestness. First, it has been said that the contemplated change would not benefit the working classes; secondly, that it would entail ruin on landowners and farmers ; 3rdly, that it would ex pose the population to the risk of being starved in time of war. I shall try to answer these objections one by one. As to the first, I confess I was once myself caught by what I have for some time considered to be fallacious reasoning. Why, it was asked, is the manufacturer 'so anxious to pro cure a reduction in the price of grain ? Is it nit because, unable to compete with the foreigner, at the present rate of wages, he naturally wishes to he enabled, by a low price of food, to reduce them in proportion to the reduction in the price of wheat? But let it be considered, Ist, that wages are not af fected solely by the price of food; other elements enter into the ca culation. In order to arrive at a just conclusion on that point, the demand and supply of labour must be taken into account. High pricy of food may shut up manufac tories, or put their inmates on halfswork. Men on half work will be found to offer the rermin:ng half of their time for less than the remaining half of toeir former wages ; a poor man who may have earned say two shillings a day, when reduced to half work and one shilling, will be apt to read in the pressing looks of his wife and little ones an entreaty to give his unoccupied time for 9d.; and thus high prices of bread and low wages might be found to exist. 2dly—We must remember th'tt increased production, stimulated by low wages hi the first instance, will allow of small profits on capital employed, and this production creates increased demand for labour. High proportional wages will ultimately be insured by that de mand. I now come to the second objection against the pi o posed change in the Corn-lava. The ohjection is, that if we adopt a Bill similar to the one proposed and thereby impose a fixed duty, we ruin both the farmer and the landlord. The landed interests should remember that they cannot ex pect high rents and a large return for the produce of the land if they have not consumers.—( Hear, hea.. ) What is to become of the agricultural produce if the manufacturer cannot employ hands ?—( Hear, hear, hear.) When the wce k ing classes are thrown out of employment they have not where with to purchase corn, or potatoes, or beef, or pigs, or poultry, while the farmer, if he succeeded in getting any sale for these commodities, must sell them at a reduced and iinrernuneratin,il price.—( Hear, hear.) Front Continental statements, it will at once appear that there is no cause of fear if commerce be maintained. The average price of wheat in Poland is 28s. 4d, per quarter. The cost of its transit to port is 2s. Bd. The freight to London, and insurance, amount to 7s. Utd, t port dues, commission, &c., 7s. 10id., which comes to 465, Id. Add to this the proposed fixed duty of Be., and we have the Polish oats in this country at 545. Id, per quarter, which is assumed to be the lowest price. These statements are wen thy the attention of the agricultural interests. If now, on the other hand, the intelligent farmer will look at the state of the rents during the years 1834 and 1835, and compare them with the prices of wheat during those years, he will find that, although the prices were low, they were net ruinous. The price of wheat in 1834 was 465. 2d. per quarter, and in 1835 it was 395. 4d., making the average price of wheat, for the years 1834 and 1835, 425. 9d, per quarter,—( Hear.) By com paring this average with that of 545. Id., he will be enabled to see his position more clearly, and judge how his interests will stand when the propo.oel measures are brought into operation. —(Hear, hear.) The third objection against the proposed measures of the Government is, that in case of war the Conti nental ports would be closed against us. The cry is, " What would you starve the country at such a crisis se that ?" It is strange that the people themselves never argue this way, and that all these apprehensions for their safety arise from a class that are always interested in keeping up the price of corn.— ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is only this interested class that show so much nervousness on this point. To that class I would answer, that it was better for the people to run the risk of starvation, than submit to actual starvation.—(Cheers, lasted for seseral minutes.) Mr. Ross concluded by proposing —" That, while we do not pledge ourselves to approve the amount of duties which the Government propositions would still retain on sugar, timber, and corn ; and whilst we reserve oorselsee the full right of seeking for such further'modification as the eireemetanoes of the public revenue may warrant, we yet cordially approve those propositions, so far as they would operate to reduce taxation, and to substitute steodiness of price for uncertainty, and legitimate mercantile operations for spe culation ; and that we willingly receive them as pledges of the disposition of tk. Gwen - I=a to pay attention to the relief of the', present distress of large portions of her Majesty's people, and to secure their permanent interests, by abolishing, speedily as the circumstances of the country will admiO l alt those systems of duties, through the means of whlch itijurious mo nopolies are sustained ; the co . rarneece and manufactures of the country . crippled, an even tfireateried with destruction ; agri raltuye itsy,tt oitss really benefited ; and the great body of the people taxed, not for the benefit of the State, but for the soil posed advantage of favoured classes." - Mr. WM. SHARMAN CRAlyi•on fpss and said—l shall petty much confine /a ei s eseOetions—namely, to that of the duty on • ktit heye o then, in the first p ace, to inquire stee (ttrioent of protect ioa agriculturists derived from the Corn. ;aoki, aria to which they allege they have a right,—(Hear..) I - maintain, my Lord, that the agricultural interest would be sufficiently protected by the expenses alone of importing foreign prn this, ccnntey.. There is another matter to be consi- MAswhich e t a this—if there arose an extraordinary demand or seoeten coPA , as is a season of scarcity, there would, of course, bee met e:ee io the expense of importation, because, to propertioo as the demand increased, the rate of freights would be augmented. Thus, in 1838, when the duty came down to Is. per quarter, the freights rose 100 per roeot, and the prices of wheat on the Continent advaneed 50 per cent.— ( Hear, hear.) Recollect, peolomep, that every five quarters of wheat require tone ten of shipping. This being so, if we compute the annual consumption of wheat in England at 60,000,000 quarters, we shall find, that all the registered ship ping belonging to England could not import, in three years, one year's supply, allowing each vessel to make two veysies an, nually.—(Hear, hear.) Would it net he en abeord thing to send foreign con to tittle countelee far sale, when it could Welt ne profit whotever.—( Hear, hear.) Again, landlsrds ever that they are entitled to extraordinary protection, " be , cause," say they, "we are liable to extraordinary taxation." Mr. Crawford entered into long arithmetical details relative to taxes to which landlords have been sube ted at various periods tipsier the lesv of Engleed. If we con,ider the relief from the were' tariatlen which they, as legi.lators, afford themselves, I am of opinion that it would more than meet all the claims which they have to any other relief.—(Hear, hear.) What position, tion of the general taxation de they pay? T e general taxes Ore 010 posterns, the enciee, the etallqe; direct taxes, and post office. If we look HI a l these items we find that a large pro portion is paid by manufacturers, almost every article in whose branches of trade is subject to duty, paid either directly or iii- directly. Let me now .draw your attention to the annual amount of protection which the landlords claim. Its sole ob ject is to keep up one class et the expense of all other classes. That is the principle to which I object.—( Hear, hear.) It is alleged, that this serves the agricultural interest. What, let me ask, does the agricultural interest consist of ? Is it ef landlords alone?--(Cheers.) No; they fools; the very smallest proportion, It is composed chiefly of three classes—namely, rat, of farmers who do not labour ; secondly, of farmers who de their own work; thirdly, of labourers. We will first take the class of farmers who do not work. How does the Corn-law serve their interest? It acts so as to enable the landlords to charge enormous rents, while the land is let qr. a fictitiotis principle, which affords no certain protection to the farmer.—( Hear, hear.) By the law of 1815, it was expected that the price of wheat would be kept up at an ave rage of 80s. ; yet in 1821 and 1822 it fell to 395.—( Hear, hear.) Now, I contend that the farmer was actually robbed when the value of wheat was reduced to this figure. In the same way, by the law of 1828, it was anticipated that an average of 625. per quarter would be attained; whereas, in 1835 it went down to 29s.—(Hear, hear.) Would it not be infinitely better for the farmer it the duties on corn were established on a fixed and cortain basis, instead of leaving him dependent for his rent and means of subsis tence on the fickle and fictitious support of Corn-laws ? (Loud cheering.) With respect to those farmers who work with their own hands, of what consequence are prices to them ? They are principally consumers, and woold feel content were their landlords to accept a relit in a tair pro portion of prices end product. I desire, my Lord, totally to extirpate all monopolies. I would lay the axe to the root of the tree, and I would apply it tilll left not one frag ment behind.—(Loud cheers.) '1 he father of all monopo lies is that which taxes the food of the people, Take that away, and all the others will drop like rotten branches. 'lee resolution was then put, and passed unanimously. Mr. J. CAMPBELL ALLEN next moved a resolution, which Mr. R. M‘Doweee seconded. 'I he meeting soon after adjourned, iS DINWER. In the evening, the members of the Ulster Association and their friends entertained the President, the Right Hqn, the Earl of Charlemont, at a public dinner, in the alusic Hall.

This Association has existed nearly 200 years; it represents reli gious societies containing upwards of ;5,000 members, awl includes congregations amounting to 9,000 persons. They dined together at the Cross Guns Inn, on Wednesday, when about seventy were present. After the cloth was removed, the Rev. W. Stokes, the Moderator, being in the chair, it was moved by the Rev.
