MORNING SUN THE CORN LAWS. GREAT PUBLIC MEETING IN MAN CHESTER. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—This morning a most crowded and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of this town was held in the large room of the Town-hall, to petition her Majesty not to prorogue Parliament until they had taken into consideration the intense and aggra vated distress now 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. This 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 all 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. WeeraiN said, this is not a meeting convened for a party purpose, or with a factious object. I disclaim and repuaie Le altogether the opinion which it has been endeavour:.} 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 mach 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 applying a proper remedy to that suffering.—(Cheers.) That no mistake, or misrepresentation, or misapprehea sian may prevail, with respect to the resolution which I have to move, I shall now read it :—" That the (lie tress now experienced by all classes, from the great capitalists to the humble workman, is unparalleled 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 are paying 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 Mt 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 2,000 persons were existing—l cannot say living —upon less than 15d. a week per head. Since I came into this room it has been 6ommunicated to me that there has been an actual increase of death from star vation, which occurred yesterday--(Hear, hear)—that an individual having a family of six children, and living in this town, has died from want with nothine;" but a little water in the house.—(Shame, shame.) In such:cir cumstances, canit be considered as factious, if: we inquire what are the causes of this general distress? In such cir stances it is not faction, it is patriotism, to inquire assi duously what are the causes of the prevailing distress, and to take every measure for their immediate relief. The requisitionists believe—and they believe because they have examined—that the main cause of the want of em ployment which exists, and or the general distress which is felt by all classes, but in its extremity by the labour ing classes—is the restrictive commercial policy 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, hear.) 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 .l'ountail of justice—tin' appei(ved guardian and defender of her people, net to sniPer the Parliament to be prorogued until thee shall have taken into consideration the laws whijh, in our opinion, inflict upon the labouring population and upon all classes such extremity of distress.—(Applau e.) But, not only have I heard since I came into the meeting of an indi vidual dying from want, but a paper has been put into my hands from the starving hand-loom weavers, in which they beg that the persons who got up the late va 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 pur pose of assisting 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 deavoured to give, and thanks to you for the patience with which you have heard me, I beg to move, &c. (Mr. Watkin again read the resolution.) The Rev. W. APlieasnew 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 manufac turing 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 condition of the poor. As the following statements are introduced merely- to 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 Charlestown district, the missionary states his conviction "that more than one third of the people are unemployed at present, and that a still greater number 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 era;lowinent altogether." In another district the missionary says— ' alany are destitute of fuel from want of employment. .What th e p roport i on i s of those who are unemployed, - lam unable to say, but I know it is very many." The missionary in St. Mary's district, which extends to Withy grove,vantf 0 says One half of th e p eo pl e are i n di s t ress f rom employment; and several decent families have been obliged to part with their furniture and other articles, to save their lives." In the district near to Peter-street, one -h alf 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 nni a My district h as me, the missionary says— the appearance of comfort ; is a great number wh o ar e but there out of work, and who are s uffering in silence. Between Oxford-road and Brook street, the missionary says—"poverty prevail s t o a ver y general great extent, and the cry is that they . have no thing to do. Indeed, ther e is in which I have not met with an individual wanting fmil employ- ; anent." On the other side it Brook -street, and be tween it and Downing-stzeagets nf others are Many ' are unemployed, and the to let off are so much lowered that many are obliged which they formerly had to themselves.? °ins l in 'h a er h e ou a;e e cannot be worse, and who say that thing s many , who are consequently regardless of what men adopted." And in Chancery -lane, in Buxton- s a t re s e n t iaz ,o b n e Lon don-road, in Travis -street, in Pollard -street, i n 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 with regard to the Ancoats-lane district. 'lle 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 arc many hand-loom weavers who can only earn, when in full work, ss. or 6s. a week, and w hose condition, when but partially employed, is utterly deplorable, Many who live in eellars have nothing but a few shavings to lie on, on the damp floors, having sold or pawned their b e d s get food and clothing." This is no ex-. aggeratesa account ; the description is within the truth. Who will dare to call in question the accuracy of these st e aternenas ? I challenge investigation. I say fearlessly , bfol-v my townsmen and before mv God, that, so far as Leave investigated, and I have done so to some extent, I :an substantiate every item of these most fearful and lamentable accounts. My friend, Mr. Beardsall, I know has been very act i ve among the poor ; and, if I b e not t. ng hi s work out of his hand s , I w ill rea d a single se ei ntence from the report which he has handed in ; of sixteen families which he visited, including one hundred and two individuals,the average earnings are 31. 14s. 6d., that is Bd. per head per week ; and, supposing a par tial rent to be paid, this dre uces it to a penny per head per day for food and clothing. He adds, " I have fre quently asked some how do you live ; your means are 310 t sufficient to provide you with food alone r and the general reply is, "Why, Sir, we get a littl e f oo d w h en we can, and cla m i t out. —(Appla use.) The above, I believe, is the perishing condition o f some t h ousan d s of ester. And mark which my friend Beardeall refers you, the cases t o improvident or the drunken for he not the cases of th e is a zealou s advo cate of tee-totalism, and he ;elected the most irreproach able cases ; and these are families who are noted for in dustry and sobriety.—(Ap p l au s e.) I may state that I have been looking at the Reports which have been given of late years by some of our public institutions.l find, for exampl e , i n regar d t o the Provident excellent Institution, a Society which Soci e ty, a m ost receive the p ence o f t h e p oor , to induce sends its agents to them to la" up for the tim e o f s i c k ness an d t h e hour of plentiful ye ars , w h en we h a d c h eap food,teed—that in the had plenty of g oo d wor k , years 'which, a and the people lasl have passed away, that the money deposited with this Society aver aged about 800/. ; but that for the last two years it had not averaged more than 25C1., thus proving that the very parties who are anxious to economise and pro vide, are in a fearful state of distress, that they have no thing to lay by for the time of necessity. I have in quired into the state of things in the public hospitals, and I find that, in the plentiful years to which I have alluded the average number of cases received into the house of recovery or the fever hospital, was about 680 ; for the last two years the average has been 1,200; thus showing that want of food be nerates disease and termi nates in death.—(Cheers.) I have inquired into the state of things in respect to the public cemeteries. I have found there, that a large class of people, who are wont to gratify the most sacred, the holiest, and the best feelings of their nature, in : electing a family grave, in which to deposit the body of some be loved object, are now unable to gratify such feel ings, and are compelled to bury their dead out of sight in the public receptacle. I have found cases, too, where parties have laid, in some cold silent resting-place, in a particular grave-yard, some father, mother, brother, or sister, and have wished when some trying dispensa tion again occurred, in the providence of God, to place another member of their family in the same long silent home; but because they could not pay for the opening of the grave, they were obliged to permit the ashes of their beloved relative to be deposited in some common grave, there to mingle with the dust of the stranger. These are affecting cases, and they show the destitution of the poor; the destitution of the - honest and industrious working classes. I hold in my hand, Sir, and this is the last docu ment with which I will trouble you, a statement of the earnings and expenditure of seven industrious, sober, and respectable families. I believe, Sir, connected with your own manufacturing establishment. From this statement I see, Sir, that some person, I suppose a principal clerk, or trustworthy servant, has about 2001. a year ; and he is able to save a little out of that sum for food, clothing, and the support of religious institutions. I find, how ever, that the man who has only a pound a week (and oh ! how many thousands of families are there in .5- an chester who have not half that sum !)—I find that it is utterly impossible for him, if he has a family of six or eight children, to save a farthing for clothes, a farthing. for education, or a farthing for the extension of the knowledge of the Gospel. .I cannot place my finger upon a single item of extravagance in this paper. I find that if such a man provides his family with fuel, and giveS them a little coffee and sugar, and deprives himself even of butchers' meat, that he has nothing to expend upon clothing, education, and religion.—(llear, heir.) And the sum of the whole matter is this, Sir, that while the man who has 2001. a year has only to ex pend one-fifth of his income in order that he may obtain the necessaries of life for his family, the poor operative, who has only a pound a week, has to expend one half his income before he can obtain the necessaries of life.—(Applause.) Ought this state of things to continue ? I have found that there is the greatest state of distress, not only in Manchester, for I could read or bring before you accounts equally affecting from nearly every manufacturing district in the country. But I have been told that the distress is denied. Mr. Cobden told me he verily believed that, in the circles of splendour and affluence our distress was not believed. Very well, then, in the presence of our townsmen, and before the eyes of God, we assert that that distress exists. —(Hear, hear.) Who can attend to the assertions of in dividuals, who have never invest ;gated the subject ? If they wish for information, let them send down here, and we will present them with abundance of it.—(Ap plause.) Surely our legislators would be better employed in visiting the cellars of the sorrowful than in enjoying the sports of the field—(Applause)—and Ido not con sider that it would be unbecoming the dignitaries of the church, those who rear their mitred fronts in courts and Parliamedts, to come down and show that they are truly apostolically descended—(Applause)—that they are the followers of him who was the friend of the poor, and who went about continually doing good ; and if they would but accept of our company, 1 pledge myself that I would conduct them to many a family who are unable to dig, to beg are ashamed, who cannot find employment, and who are perishing beneath the pressure of want and disease. There can be no question, then, in regard to the matter of distress. Let us inquire, then—but I fear I am occupying too much of your attention—(No, no) — let us investigate the cause of it. Why, some people will tell us that the banking system is the root of all the evil. I have no doubt, indeed, that the banking system has been productive of much local evil, and that to some degree mischief has arisen from the extension of the accommodation that has been \afforded by joint-stock banks. But I as k if th e se banks are the cause of the agricultural distress—if they arc the means of restricting commerce —if they are the means of generally high prices for food ? Others, again tell us, that it is over-production which has occasioned the distress. Over-production ! there can be no over-production so long as our population at home are so miserably, so scantily clad—there can be no over-production so long as there is a naked savage in the wilds anxious to be invested with the comfort-- able clothing which our looms provide. No ; there is sometning else than the joint-stock banking system or over-production which we must contemplate as the mainspring of our distress. Now, Sir, I will go at once to the root of the matter ; I have paid some at tendon to the subject, and I will give you the conviction at which I have arrived. I believe, whatever collateral causes may be in operation, that the Corn-law is the source of the evil.—(Cheers.) Yes, the Corn-law is the source of the evil.—(Applause, and cries of "The b—dy Coen-law I") Call it what you please. I employ no harsh epithets ; but I have stated my opinions with regard to it frankly. But I have done with the matter. My wish I is that our legislators and ministers would attend to wis dom and learn righteousness. We seek nothing but in vestigation ; we are persuaded that the country is suf fering— that multitudes of our fellow-creatures are dying of want ; and we merely present our humble prayer to the Queen of these realms, that she would_ prevent those who are our Senators, and who hold in their hands our destinies, from going to enjoy their own pleasures, and leaving us to pass through a winter of starvation with our distresses unrelieved and our complaints unnoticed. The MAYOR then put the resolution, and declared it carried, only one hand being held up against it. Sir THOMAS POTTER, who was received with loud cheering, said—Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, I have a resolution put into my hands to the following effect : " That, in the opinion of this meeting, the corn and provision taxes amount, according to the evidence of two of the Secretaries of her Majesty's Board of Trade, to upwards of fifty millions per annum upon the first necessaries of life, exacted not f or th e p ur p oses o f re venue, but for the exclusive advantage of one class of the community, compelling, as they do, the consumers of food to purchase it at nearly double the price for which it was sold in foreign markets, and denying th e r i g ht o f the people to exchange the produce of their industry for the • food and the provisions of other countries 1 1 —are in themselves the chief causes of the present unparalleled depression in trade, and of the intense and aggravated sufferings of the poor." I think, Gentlemen, we shall be pretty unanimous in passing this resolution.—(Applause.) In addition to the various distresses that have been enumerated, and the causes of ' these unjust laws, I sent down to the New Bailey—for I did not know the exact number—to ascertain the number of felons that were tried at the last sessions, and of mis demeanants. However, I know that there were 300, if not all out, within a very few of that number. Now, I think, gentlemen, this is a most appalling circumstance— I think it is most appalling; and .1 have had the horror to receive the observation from prisoners who have been brought up at the Court, that they would prefer going to the New Bailey, that they wished to go to the New Bailey, for there they were better fed than they could be at home.—(Hear, hear, and " That's true."). Now this is a shocking state of things.—(Applause, and " We want to go.") No, no, you don't deserve to go. And I do say that there is not a population in the world who are hearing their sufferings with such fortitude and such resignation as you are bearing them. They cannot be endured long, gentlemen ; it is impossible. And I have stated frequently that I deal in as many articles as most people, and there is not an article but what is to be had for less than it can pos sibly be made for. But I do consider that the reduc tion of wages is dreadful, most dreadful, and at such a rate as will merely keep body and soul together, sup posing families to be fully employed. But we all know the number that are out of work, and the number that are working only short time. Gentlemen, let me urge you—it is hard, it is unreasonable—but let me urge you to endure a little longer -the pressure of the times ; but I hope there will be some means adopted to ameliorate your situation. But let me conjure you to be peace able, and your voice- must be heard—you must be ; your wrongs must be redressed. As to the assertion of the Duke of Wellington, that there is employment for every man; now really it is astonishing that he should make such an assertion.—(Applause, and " He never said so.") I think he is t arn i s hi ng his glory by mak ing such an assertion. I know, Gentlemen, that you are willing to work, and you are willing to work hard, for a very little, for a trifle, for much less than you ought tee receive ; but it cannot be endured long, it must not be endured long.—(Applause.) We are not met here for any political purpose, but we are met here for the purpose of praying our Queen not to allow her Parlia ment to be prorogued till our grievances are taken into consideration. Surely this is not unreasonable. As to the extent of our grievances nobody can deny ; and a, party sr.ee aoref chargingmetgentlemen fuesr vef arye h t a ijo. v au i l having put ) p , , purposes,utt b o r ei w t e c circulars :du:I:v:1. think ihn t ak o t really,sti t t tli a e a y t WO are in the right. lam quite satisfied that the resolu tion and lHave unjust read over t ois correct , cause f that the these N are you the main pre sent distress. It cannot be endured : only be patient a little longer, and your voice will be heard, and must be heard.—(Applause.) Mr. JOHN B aooxs, in seconding the motion, said the meeting was called to petition the Queen, but he should like to know how they were to get to the Queen? He trusted the resolutions would be read to her. He never seconded'one so much to his mind, for it was the truth, and when she heard the truth, being a mother, she would feel it, and would not allow her people to starve. The re solution was based on the declaration of two Secretaries of the Board of Trade, that we were paying 50 millions a year for the circumscription of our freedom. When her Majesty saw that statement, she wouki bring to account not only her present Ministers, but her past ones.— (Applause.) They all knew that, the aristocracy, both Whig and Tory - , were robbing the country. On this account, he had given up politics,—he cared not for Whig, Tory, or Chartist ; he wanted nothing but free trade, that which Lord Stanley hated so much. He hoped the day would come when he would as abominably hate the name of bread-taxer. He never met with any upholders of the Corn-laws, whom he called bread-taxers, who were willing .to accept that title. When Mr. Cobden made his maiden speech in the House and showed the oppressive operation of the Corn-laws on the poor, no one had contradicted him ; Sir Robert Peel. and Lord Stanley had the chance of doing so, had they [been able. If the people at large would but unite and disregard party distinctions; it would be impossible to prevent the repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) He had been in business thirty years, and had been a regular shipper twenty-five years, but had never - brought home any corn, because he could make no calculation as to what he could get it in for; and thus the Corn-laws were a means of keeping trade down. He meant not to say that the aristocracy got the fifty mil lions into their own pockets; it was the damage they did, like rats in the corn. It was the injury they did to trade in the prevention of business. Owing to the un certainty which the Corn-laws introduced the trade was taken from the regular merchants and fell into the hands of the corn-dealers, who, having no goods to sell, were obliged to send out sovereigns to pay for corn. Hence the runs upon the Bank of England, which caused it to cramp its discounts. Thus, instead of sending out goods, which gave employment to the population and profit to the manufacturers, we were obliged to send out gold, and in addition had our trade stopped. This was his great reason against the Corn-laws. If things were not altered within three years, he declared that his four sous should not remain here to be the victims of aristo cratic monopoly. He wondered not at the poor hand loom weavers thinking that the money subscribed for them at the tea party should be given to enable them to emigrate. A customer of his had lately applied to him for money to enable him to emigrate, stating that he was losing money daily while he was at home. He believed Sir R. Peel was the best man of his party, but he was in the situation of one who had got a set of wild horses to break in. He moped he would be supported and pushed on as far as he would go in a right course ; and then, if some other man would go further, let them support him. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was carried with but two dissentients. Mr. W. R. GREGG moved the adoption of the follow ing memorial to the Queen : "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty, " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects in public meeting assembled, in the Town Hall of Man chester, on the 16th of September, 184 l—convened by his Worship the Mayor, in compliance with a requisi tion bearing 1,018 signatures of merchants and manu facturers, and other respectable inhabitants of all classes, approach your Majesty with sentiments of profound veneration for your person, and ardent attachment to your Throne, at a crisis of commercial depression, which, for duration and severity, is altogether unex ampled ; and when all classes, and especially the poorer classes of your Majesty's subjects, are enduring priva tions more general and afflictive than were ever pre viously known to our oldest inhabitants. " We beg leave to assure your Majesty that, during the last four years, these suffer ings have been accumu lating, and that they have been borne by the thousands of their victims with an enduring patience highly credit able to their moral character. Charitable individuals have pitied, and rendered munificent aid; but no charity can keep pace with the prolonged and '„extending distress that prevails. Indeed, the ability to exec vise acts of be nevolence in the upper and middle classes already begins to fail, and the causes which have so long depressed the poor, now threaten to visit these also with their disas trous effects. And when we look forward to the ap proaching winter, with its increasing claims, accompa nied with the certain prospects of a still greater com mercial depression, our hearts instinctively turn from the scene,_ and sigh in the bitterness of their sorrow. " Nor is the suffering confined to our own locality ; for the sake of our fellow-subjects, with whom we cordi ally sympathise, we wish it were. Suffering, though not universal, is lamentably too general. The country suf fers ; and, as we conceive, not from any mere temporary commercial derangement, but chiefly from the injurious operation of those laws in our fiscal system which restrict trade, especially in the articles of food. " At the time of their enactment, these laws were petitioned and protested against by many eminent British statesmen and others, as fraught with direful conse quences ; amongst whom stood foremost disting,uished,. patriotic, and beloved relatives of your .Majesty, whose names grace the annals of our history, and affectionately live in our grateful remembrance. " The evils unavoidably cor.sequent, as we conceive, on the operation of these laws have fearfully overtaken our industrious population, and have reduced them in vast numbers, to penury and want ; and with the cer tainty, too, that their distress will be still further in creased, if that relief is not speedily afforded, which cannot be looked for in any quarter with so much cer tainty as in the entire abolition of those restrictive laws, whose natural tendency is to diminish employment, and to render food scarce and dear. great as in 1839. He went into a long history of the means of relief adopted by the parochial officers of that year, of whom he was ono, and blamed the introduction of the New Poor-law as preventing the adoption of the same measures. The feeling of the meeting being de • cidedly against him, he made no attempt at moving an amendment. " May it please your Majesty—We consider it wor thy of your Royal regard to notice, that petitions for the repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws have been presented to Parliament during each of the three last sessions ; and that the increase to the number of the signatures in favour of repeal, at each presentation, with the decrease of such as were presented in opposition thereto, shows that your people are becoming more and more ive to the real cause of their alarming destitution. In 1839, the number of signatures attached to peti tion:, praying that the petitioners might be heard at the bar of the House, was 527,334. In 1840, the number of petitioners praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws was 1,459,545. In 1841, the signatures attached to petitions for the same object amounted to 1,756,645, while the signatures against repeal for 1839 were 315,723 ; in 1840, only 240,000 ; and in 1841, only 113,300 ; making a total majority on the three years of those of your Majesty's subjects who petitioned for repeal, of 3,743,524. _ _ , . " And we venture respectfully to assure your Majesty that, since the presentation to Parliament of the last peti tions, the number of your subjects opposed to the Corn and Provision-laws is greatly augmented; and will continue to augment still more as the public mind becomes disabused ol'opinions which opposing parties have entertained and propagated. In proof of this (to say nothing of more re mote and less obvious occurrences), we respectfully call the attention of your Majesty to the great assemblage of Christian ministers from all parts of the United King dom, which lately took place in the hail where we are now assembled ; and which, after mature deliberation solemnly and unanimously denounced the Corn and Pro vision-laws as anti-Christian in themselves, and inimical to the best interests of their beloved country ; and we recollect, with no ordinary feelings of gratitude, that your Majesty was pleased very graciously to accept the dutiful and loyal address of that pious and influential body. " We wish, further, most respectfully to state to your Majesty—and herein we are assured we utter the senti ments of increasing thousands of our fellow-subjects— that, with hearts penetrated with sorrow at the sufferings we are compelled daily to witness - with a fixed and growing consciousness of the high advantages that would accrue to all classes of our country from the abrogation of the corn and provision laws, we cannot but continue to use every lawful means for the accomplishment of this object. And, beloved Sovereign, it is proper to state that the working classes plainly understand the cause of their heavy and unmerited sufferings. Sympathies and exer tions like those which have convened us together to pre pare this our dutiful memorial to your Majesty, give them hope, and nerve them to a patient endurance of their grievous privations ; and we are assured that, were such sympathies and exertions to cease, the inspiring hopes they originate and sustain would be succeeded by a despondency which, in its consequences, might prove deeply afflictive to your Majesty, and to all your dutiful and loyal subjects. " May it please your Majesty—Lamenting, as we do, the critical and suffering state of our beloved country; and dreading at this period any, the slightest, postpone ment of a due consideration of an effectual remedy to the evils now endured and deplored, we are compelled, from a sense of the duty we owe to ourselves, to our famish ing fellow-subjects, and of ardent loyalty to you, our beloved Sovereign, to place this our humble petition at your feet, praying your Majesty, in the exercise of your Royal prerogative, to he pleased not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament, until such time as that portion of your Majesty's gracious Speech, delivered at the open ing of the present Session, relating to the Corn-laws, shall have been fully deliberated upon; and which por tion confirmed to us the cheering assurance that you are graciously disposed, as you ever have been, to interest yourself in the welfare and happiness of your people. "-Encouraged by a grateful conviction of your Ma jesty's unceasing parental solicitude for the permanent prosperity of your people, we humbly approach you, trusting that our earnest prayer on their behalf will be graciously regarded, and your constitutional interposition secured. The Rev. J. W. MASSIE ably replied to the allega ions of Mr. Clarke. Mr. J. C. DYER, in moving the publication of the re solutions, adverted to the result of the late election, and contended that there was no remedy for the existing state of things but Universal Suffrage. Mr. W. RAWSON seconded the motion,• which was unanimously adopted. Thanks were then voted to the Mayor, and, after a highly interesting addreirs from Edward Curran, a hand loom weaver, the meeting separated about half-pan two. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY LAW COURTS On Friday a Special Court was held for the purpose of re • ceiving and taking into consideration the Report of the City Lands Committee relative to important improvements in the Law Courts of the City. Deputy BRIDGE, in bringing up the Report of the Com mittee, called the attention of the Court to the model of the proposed improvements, which he said had met with the de cided approbation of all who had seen it, and which detailed the various advantages likely to result to those engaged in the de partments connected with the administration of justice, and to the public, from the adoption of the suggestion of the Com mittee. The Report briefly stated " that the Committee had viewed the Courts, and beard Dr. Reid on the subject Gf adapting them to his plans of ventilation and sound, and di rected the Clerk of the City Works to propose plans for the construction of the three Courts of Justice in the building on the east side of Guildhall-yard—the Court of Queen's Bench, the Court of Eichequer, and the Court of Common Pleas— and for providing the necessary accommodation for the Court, Counsel. Attorneys, Jurymen, and witnesses, and that the e, timate of the expense of carrying such alterations into effect being 8,6001., inclusive of the expense of adopting Dr. Reid's plans of ventilation, and said the Committee were of opinion that great convenience would be afforded thereby to the public, and recommended that they should be empowered to give the necessary directions for the performance of the works, and af terwards to draw upon the Chamberlain for the expenses in curred." After some observations as to the expediency of making the proposed alterations, he moved that the Report he agreed to, and sent back to the Committee to be carried into effect. A short discussion followed, when the motion was adopted by a majority of 49 to 31. DREADFUL MURDER AT ESK DALESIDE, NEAR WHITBY. (From the York Herald of Saturday.) It has never before been our painful duty to record so foul and atrocious a murder, committed within the above quiet and peaceful district, as the one which was perpe- trated at the dwelling of Mr. William Robinson, yeoman, at Eskdaleside, on the forenoon of Tuesday last. Mr. Robinson, it appears, left his house on the morning of that day, for the purpose of attending Egton Fair, and his servants for the harvest field, leaving Mrs. Robinson alone to manage the domestic concerns of the house. At about ten- o'clock, Mr. Hill, miller, of Thum dale, made his usual call for orders, when he found Mrs. Robinson cheerfully pursuing her avocations, and apparently in perfect health, wishing him good morning when he took his departure. On the re turn of the servants, however, to dinner at noon, a scene the most horrifying presented itself—they discovered their mistress lying upon her face on the flour, surrounded by a pool of blood. After they had in some degree recovered. .fropi their alarm, they rais:d the bedy and . . diseovered' her head nearly severed frem the trunk,' and In a rigid state. The kitchen floor on 'which the deed of darkness was committed` appeared to be in cu:iusion, and, on a closer examittation;, they fdund, tfat the drawers, &c., had been broken.open . andransa*eti,‘ the murderers leaving traces of their guilt on 'the Various articles of furniture which they had touched during their pilfer. Messengers were itumediately despatched to Mr. Robinson, at Egton, and to the police at Whitby. We will not attempt to describe the agony of the be reaved husband. Mr. Wilkinson, the bead of the Whitby police, ac companied by two vigilant officers, promptly attended, and after examining the premises, and obtaining all the information relative to the foul crime which those around were able to afford, commenced a pursuit after two suspicious characters, who had been seen near the house during the morning. Some clue to their supposed destination was furnished by the finding of a pocket book, which was identified by one of Mr. Robinson's servants, and which had been left in safety in his box in the morning. Mr. Wilkinson, having discovered that the men had taken the road leading to Ly th, immediately proceeded to that village, and succeeded in capturing them. They proved to be two Irish reapers, travelling in search of employment. On searching them, not any evidence of their participation in the crime could be found on their :persons. They stated they were going to the neighbourhood of Mickleby for work, at which place they had been engaged last autumn. Mr. W. felt justified in their detention, and removed them to Whitby, where they underwent an examination before C. Richardson and J. Chapman, Esqs., and were remanded until after the Coroner's inquest, which was then sitting at the Tunnel Inn, which, after a lengthened investigation, was adjourned until Thursday morning, at nine o'clock. " In the mean time we devoutly pray that the Su preme Ruler may smile upon you, and grant you and your august Consort and your illustrious offspring, the uninterrupted enjoyment of health and peace ; and that you may long be spared to reign over and to live in the affections of a prosperous, a contented, and a loyal people." —He observed that a little while ago Sir Robert Peel had said that the present distress was nothing more than what they might expect and make up their mind to ; these distresses had existed and always would exist. He could not rest satisfied with so easy and idle a solution of that painful question, without endea vouring to ascertain the causes of that suffering, or whether the remidies for it lay within the reach of human wisdom to discover, or human power to avoid. —(Applause.) It was all very well for Sir Robert Peel, and persons situated at he was—removed by affluence and station far above the people—who did not live with the people nor for the people—who knew nothing and cared nothing about the people—it was very well for them, when told of empty houses and stagnant trade, and ruined families, and starving thousands, to meet it will] a cool statement that this suffering must exist. But we, who lived in the midst of all this misery, whose path was beset with clamorous supplications for re lief—whose lives were daily empoisoned and em bittered with the sight of suffering we could not relieve, and which we had not the heart to flee from, or shut our eyes to—we could not rest satisfied with so easy a solution of the difficulty—we demanded a searching inquiry into the causes of this distress, and an unflinching, bold, and impartial application of the re medy, whatever that remedy might prove to be. Sir R, Peel's intention undoubtedly was to do nothing this year but to wait till the spring, and trust to the chapter of accidents to relieve him from the difficulty.—(Hear.) But suffering and famine would not wait till the coming spring, and therefore the remedy ought not to be de layed. If something were not done before spring, things would be so far worse, that in many cases no remedy could be applied. He moved that the memorial should be adopted, signed by the Chairman, and forwarded to Mr. Mark Philips, with the request that he would take the necessary s t eps to secure its presentat i on to her Ma jesty with the least possible delay. The Rev. Dr. BEARD, in seconding the motion, gave some affecting details illustrative of the prevailing distress. The MAYOR was about to put the motion, when Mr. GEORGE CLARKE, the Chairman of the Manches ter Conseoative pre6elitcd claimed a hearing. Amidst much uproar he was under stood to protest that the meeting was one of a party character, and that the prevailing distress was not so During the whole of Wednesday the town of Whitby and the surrounding neighbourhood were in a state of the greatest possible excitement. The police and the neighbouring farmers were unremitting in their exer 7 tions to discover the assassin ; rumour upon rumour was greedily received as fact by the multitude, and we • regret that one name was most unjustly connected with this mysterious affair. Unfortunately at a late hour no information could be gained of the murderer. On Thursday morning the adjourned inquest met, the Coroner (John Buchanan, Esq.) being accompanied by the Whitby bench of Magistrates. The Irishmen were removed to the Tunnel Inn, for the purpose of being present at the investigation. We much doubt if any evidence can be adduced to criminate them. They were recognised by several farmers, and from their testimony we judge them to be quiet and inoffensive men. The deceased was the wife of a very highly respected farmer, and aged about sixty-one years. Though the transaction of the tragedy is as mysterious as it is alarm ing, we fancy we should deceive ourselves were we to imagine that it had been committed by the hands of a perfect stranger. It is supposed that the deed had been done with a shoemaker's knife, one having been found in the fire with the handle burnt off it. There is no doubt but booty alone has led to the crime, although we have not as yet ascertained that more than 321. in gold is missing up to the time that our account left Whitby. The Jury were still sitting, and we, therefore, are unable to give the result of their patient inquiry. REVISION OF VOTERS. FRIDAY. CITY OF LONDON. The REVISING BARRISTER took his seat on the Bench at ten o'clock. After some cases of a similar nature to those on which judgment 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. Mr. Milnes, who revised the City list last year, and who had the advantage of five 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 March, 1831. Now, by the 32d clause of the Reform Bill, any person becoming a liveryman by purchase, and not 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 a felt-maker, he could not 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 .1 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 32 years a clerk in the Chamberlain's-office. Mr. Christie, although having 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 City, that if Mr. Christie were admitted by redemption, he would not be qualified to vote ; and, therefore, he was 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. The Revising Barrister—According to the certificate I now hold in my hand he has been admitted by servi tude, and I can go no further than that document. 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 proceed ings on the part of the Court of Aldermen was unusual. He trusted the Court would dissent—as he was 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. SATURDAY. A point having been argued yesterday as to the elegibility of pensioners on the Haberdashers' Company to vote, The ReviSing Barrister on taking his seat this morn ing, said he considered that the law as laid down in of Eh:caulks, p. 107, :.bi It was then said that—" What amounts to the recipience of such alms, in the strict interpretation of the law of Parliament, becomes a questicrn not easy to decide, THE .411 N, LONDON. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 20, 1841 n many old boroughs, the usage, place, and direc tion of Committees, have decided this point. In • those old boroughs, where the usage is not clear, and in all new boroughs, it seems to be a general principle that, with respect to all charitable foundations and en dowments, those persons only are disqualified who are recipients from parish resources, available for the relief of paupers, and, which are at the disposal of the over seers or other officers, whose duty it is to provide for paupers. In support of this opinion the Learned Re vising Barrister cited the Bedford case, the case of Harpur's charity, 3d Douglas, page 123, and page 235, Elliot's Treatise, where, under the head of " Per sonal disqualification of voters," it said, conceening Harpur's charity—" the point under consideration arose from the fact of certain estates having been granted to the Corporation of Bedford by Sir William Harpur for certain charitable purposes, namely. to be distributed among the poor of the said town, and for the relief of poor decayed housekeepers residing therein. It appeared that this charity had been given to the middle classes, and many who paid taxes, and that it always had been distinguished from parish pay. The Committee resolved, ' Persons receiving Sir William Harpur's charity are not thereby disqualified within the meaning of the determi ' nation of the 12th April, 1690.' " The names of such persons, he thought, were therefore entitled to remain oi• the List. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON GARDEN. Mr. James Williams, landlord of the Ship public hous in Glasshouse-yard, was charged with permitting drunkenness in his house. Mr. Buncombe, the solicitor to the Licensed Victual lers' Society, appeared in behalf of the defendant. Inspector -Penny, of the G division, said, that at a quarter-past one on Tuesday morning, the 7th instant, he visited the defendant's house ; it was closed, but on see ing a light inside and hearing voices, he knocked at the door, calling out that the police were anxious to get in, when he was instantly admitted. In the tap-room were four men drunk, and in front of the bar were nine per sons, three of whom were women, and they were intoxi cated. He told the landlady it was quite time her house was cleared, and that he should mer.•!ion what he had seen to the Magistrates at this office. On cross-examination, witness admitted there )vas not the least disturbance in the house. Sergeant Hall, G No. 5, said three of the women were decidedly drunk. Mr. Duncombe being told that that was the case against his client, remarked that publicans were so awk wardly situated, that it was very seldom indeed that they could bring forward evidence to rebut the trumped up charges that are too frequently made against them. In the present instance, however, he had an abundance of testimony of the most respectable kind to produce, and, although he was convinced there was no necessity to put his witnesses into the box to cause a dismissal of the information, no charge being made out for which the Magistrate could punish his client, still he thought, for more reasons than one, that the Magistrate should hear them, that the case might be put in a proper light before the public. He then called Sarah Sadler, of 37, Glasshouse-yard, servant. She said she was at defendant's when the police went in. She was there fora pint of half-and-half to take home. All present at the time were neighbours, and were conversing friendly together. There was a loud knocking at the door before the inspector was admitted, and a voice out side called out, "Is my old woman here?" Mrs. Fos dick, one of the females, considering it was her " old man" that was in search of her, requested that the door might be opened, when in pounced the police. This witness most positively swore that not one person in the house was in the remotest degree the worse for liquor. Two other witnesses gave similar evidence, .and INI;‘ • Duncombe was abbut: to call a fourth, when he vVas St i + J. ped by . i• ;' • Mr. COS#E;Ao §aid there was contradiction enough to call upod hiM to diSiniss the case. *. •• - • Mr. Durtombe.--lanitnuch obliged to your WorShip, and I can assure you there was not the slightest founda tion for the charge, which has put my client to 61. or - 71. expense. Inspector Penny—l was desired by the licensing Ma gistrate to look after the house, the licence to which was suspended on the lait licensing day. BOW-STREET. CHARGE AGAINST POLICE CONSTABLE BEVEREDGE. —Captain Macdonald, of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), attended this day to prosecute police-constable Beveredge, 59 F, for improperly and without just cause ' taking him into custody. It appears that on Wednesday night Captain Macdonald was coming along Russell street, Covent-garden, when he observed the constable dragging along a female in a most violent manner, and twisting her arm behind her in such a manner as to throw her down. The prosecutor then went up and ex postulated with the constable on his violent conduct. Beveredge told him to mind his own business. He (Cap - tain Macdonald) then took hold of the woman's other arm, and asked her to go along quietly, and on refusing to go away on being ordered by the policeman, was given into custody. He was brought before Mr. Jardine on the following morning, and charged with attempting to rescue the prisoner Collins; but on making his de fence, and calling several witnesses to prove that he never attempted to release the woman, but had merely requested her in a tone of kindness to go quietly with Beveredge, Mr. Jardine discharged both the captain and the female, remarking at the same time that the con stable was greatly to blame, both for dragging the wo man (whose arm was dreadfully bruised) in the way he did, and also for taking Captain Macdonald into custody. The worthy magistrate also made a note on the charge sheet, to the effect that the case was one which ought to be reported to the Commissioners, which was ac cordingly done, and this day (Saturday) was appointed for its being brought before this Court. Ott Captain Macdonald and his witness coming into the office, how ever, and the Inspector being desired to produce his con stable, it was found that he had made his escape. Mr. Greenwood, therefore, ordered the hearing of the case should be postponed until the delinquent was found. This is the second constable who has deserted from this division of police during the past fortnight. The former, a man named Job Thorne, deserted on Friday night week, to avoid the punishment to which he had rendered himself liable by being found in a brothel with a female when he ought to have been on duty. Four summonses, which were taken out by musicians at Drury-lane Theatre against Mr. Eliason for not pay ing their wages, were ordered to be issued afresh, as the defendant was not present ; and on another player making an application of a similar character, Mr. Green wood said ho had better wait and hear what became of the other cases, as he might only spend his two shillings fur a summons to no purpose. MARYLEBONE, The defendant, John Alexander 11 7 i11 , nott, a man of about 60 years of age, describing himself as a solicitor, was, on the 14th ult., summoned for assaulting Mrs. Mary Ann Stamp, but he did not appear, and a warrant was subsequently obtained against him by Mr. Johnstone, a medical student, for a violent assault upon him. The defendant is the father of Willmott, tried at Rochester some time ago for bigamy. Mrs. Stamp, on being sworn, said she was a wilow, and about two years ago the defendant took apartments at her house, and in a fortnight after he came to the pre mises he made her an offer of marriage, saying he was a roan of property, and should come into 15,000/. He wrote an agreement to marry her, and on the next day they went out as if going to church for the ceremony, but returned to their friends, who were invited to break fast, without having been married, a step he had been de sired to take for the purpose of not burthening her pro perty with any responsibility, regarding a sum cf 5001. which he had made himself liable to on the part of his son. The promise of marriage was this—" When ever my circumstances will enable me to marry Mrs. Stamp without endangering the loss of her pro perty, I engage, at her request, to marry her without de lay.' On the 7th of March last he absconded from Mrs. Stamp. She then discovered that all his representations as to his property were false. She had a child by him twelve months old, and had been left without any assist ance. On Thursday week defendant, disguised in a cap and mustachios, and having the appearance of a man in distress, stepped up to her, saying, " Take pity on a poor man." She said she knew nothing of him. " What! don't you know the father of your child ?" said he, and then struck her two or three times, and had since that assaulted her again. Mr. Johnstone, the medical student, proved having been twice assaulted by defendant. The defendant made a long, rambling defence, in which he denied nearly all alleged against him. Mr. LONG convicted him in two penalties of 40s. each. He was then locked up. THE WEATHER.—NOON, SEPTEMBER 18.

It is a capital old play, much , s veered at and underrated by some critics of a severe and pur:ctiltioui school, but nevertheless a masterpiece of dramati c constrCnticn: The whole tale of love, disguise, imposture, jealousy, tyre - 0 111 ' and the other elements of stage mystification is told in t most unflagging spirit from first to last, and the audience' - , devour and digest it with one continuous relish. At leas t they' did so last bt at Covent-garden ; and the comedy nas cellentiv performed. The great part—that of Don Manul devolved upon Farren, who has evidently g i ven it his beo study. He invested the character with a general truthfalnweg —a rich fullness, and a racy vigour of expression whic h n o.. in every episode of power or point, and drew down frl4oo.°l° 's cage to passage a hearty and a warm applause. ileac Trappanti w a s sustained with a fine degree of SYrar -t „ith impudence ;he acted his way through the saucy dialog "" infinite spirit, anti everybody felt that it would be impossible t° l e t l aym was tooka kaess p: t r hp fe iec c pt t u . arrets; It e i r , „ ; ; : o d xf i s e p tshb u io t t e ste h asn i l s di si s c e iVi v r seh a t g l h i : i t l r s s k . e l ly t i c r h s a ie t s e ° r o r L f g a ( N ' e r r . y h ' 1 polyta and Flora, and both acquitted themselves with daslog nonchalance. Of Mists Cooper's Rosara we have only to al that it was a graceful performance. The Don Octn nu of Mr. Walter Lacy was a very respectable performan ce ' and Meadows, as Soto, gave us a rich bit of g rotevrr , intoxication. The comedy is cast in the old Spanish Echo', and the dresses were beautiful accordingly. In fact the entice play was produced in a very faultless manner, and the g 5 neral laughter which it continued to elicit from the audnc,ce was a good test of the success both of the authorship and tue acting. • RA I LWAY TRAFFIC.—One week's receipts from the principA lines of Railway is Great I.3litattote according to our last week's returns, amoun ted • 97,670/. on a capital of 37,000,00 d Deducting one half fur excenses, which is full as much as they averagl there remaiDs a balance for dividend of ab°l/,, seven per cent., proving at once that Railway s P ec ia: lations have not been so unproductive as some %Wu represent ; for although there has been a loss (or r ather no profit) on some hales, it is mor.^ than made: up fr °l/1 others.
