The Sun. — London, England, 1841-10-05 00:00:00

MORNING SUN guished himself in Liverpool and the neighbourhood by the strong natural talent he has exhibited in the imita tion of the Anti-Corn-law question, moved the eond resolution, which is as follows :—" That we fully con- cur in the admission made by Lord Stanley, the present Secretary for the Colonies, on his re-election for North Lancashire, that the operation of the Corn-laws ise - first s to raise the price of food above its natural T'veT ; _ condly, to increase the.yen paid to the . landlOrd pro. portionate to the price ; and, thirdly, that the peicedir, food has no effect on the rise_ and tall.of wages ; from these admissions,- we are confirmed in our opinion that the landlord, not the farmer, is unjustly protected . by a law which raises his rent above its equitable value ; that the consumer is taxed to pay for protection ; that all provisions form by far the largest %item in the ex penditure of the working class, so the working class is thus taxed more heavily than any other. We are further of opinion that the Corn-laws not only di rectly tax the wages of labour, but they indirectly di minish their amount, by destroying the natural propor tion which the supply of labour bears to the demand, and that by endeavouring to limit us to a single country. they produce unnatural fluctuations, both in price and supply, disappointment the calculation of the farmer, de range the currency, and render the prosperity of all classes dependent upon the most variable climate in the world." After some appropriate introductory observations, Mr. Jones said, it appeared that Lord Stanley allowed that the Corn-laws had raised the price of food above the natural level, but Robert Jones, his wife and family, and hundreds of other families, had found that out long before Lord Stanleyever thought upon it.—(Hear, hear.) It would have been a happy age for the working men of England if they had never found it out before Lord Stanley was made one of the Ministers of State ; but, unfortunately, it had been found out for twenty-five years and some months, that the Corn-laws had raised food of all descriptions, not bread alone, one half or nearly so in price above its natural level. If Lord Stan ley and all the other Lords, or nicknames, for call them what you might, it was immaterial to him, could see the misery there was at this moment in England, without going to miserable Ireland, it would make theta at once say, "We must repeal this iniquitous, this wicked law, that we have made to support our l ux uries, at the ex pense of the happiness of millions of ou r fellow country men."—(Hear, hear.) Lord Stanley appeared to have admitted in the next place, that it was not for the benefit of the farmer that the Corn-laws were passed, but that it was in order that high rents might be obtained for the landlord. There were hundreds of men, respecable far mers at the time the Corn-laws were passed, who were at this moment spending the remainder of their days in the union workhouse, in wretchedness and misery. These men were in affluence and happiness when the Corn laws were passed, and now thousands of them were upon the very threshold of beggary, through nothing else but the operation of those laws.—(flear, hear.) The farmers might hold with the Corn-laws, and the landlords might also ; hut if they would examine the question through out with a little attention, they would see they were from the beginning to the end nothing but a delusion and a cheat upon the poor farmer. How so ? Why, in the first place, the landlords told him they had got a law passed which would insure high prices for his corn; but the event proved that there was somebody else who knbw all about high prices as well as the landlord, end that was the great gambler in foOd.—(l-lear, hear.) He found it out as well as the farmer, and made the most of it. In such a year as the present he had not the least doubt. that the landlords would be sowing more acres of corn than they had for several years hack. because there was a high price for corn. The farmers themselves had gone to extremes in competition with one another in their own markets till prices Aims down, and the consequence was that we could get food enough, and buy it cheaper, when they were crying out and complaining of distress --(Hear, hear)—when the working men could fill the bellies of their children, that was the very time when these men made the loudest outcries of ruin and dis tress. Then they let their waste land, which they ought not to have cultivated, .go out of cultivation ; then high prices came, and Lord Stanley might well say that the markets had been uncertain for the farmer as well as for the consumer. This, indeed, seemed to have been the sole object of these laws from the beginning to the end.—(Applause.) He (Mr. Jones) hoped now that the working classes of Liverpool would let the world know that they were determined to buy their food at whatever market they could buy it cheapest, and that they wanted all laws repealed which would half starve them or their families.—(Cheers.) The old Ministry—the "old aii nistry" they were called, but for his part he bundled them all, Tory, Whig, and Radical, in one ruck together —even condescended to go so low as to take off Is.percwt, from potatoes. That was something, and he supposed every Irishman would thank them for that. Mr. Jones,. at considerable length, and in a peculiar style, proceeded to show that the working classes paid by far the greatest proportion of the poor-rates, and to contend from this circumstance that the landed aris tocracy should neither look down upon them with con tempt, as he apprehended they did, nor refuse them the benefit which would arise from the cheapening of bread. Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, Magistrate, presented himself, on the question of the brea-tax, a tax which was hurrying thousands to the grave. In Manchester the poor-rates in March were double' those of the preced ing year. Must there not, then, be double the number of paupers? And the poor wretched rate-payers were being constantly summoned before the Magistrates for the payment of poor-rates. As a Magistrate, his heart bled to see poor rate-payers constantly summoned, as they were, for - the payment of their rates. But it was said that the Corn-laws were a benefit to the farmers and the peasantry. How stood the case? In twelve agricul tural counties the poor-rates had increased during the last three year of dear bread 10 per cent.-- a clear proof that the peasantry were reduced to paupers by the Corn laws—making every tenth man a pauper, and com pelling the other nine to feed him.—(Hear, hear.) Those accursed laws compel the poor man to pay twice the price he ought to do for his bread. If a labouring man and his-family spend 2s. 6d. per week for bread, and being- obliged to spend ss. for the same quantity when corn was dear., was itelot clear that they spent 2s. 6d. more than. they ought. The sum thus taken from five millions of the labouring classes amounted annually to thirty-two millions, taken from the pockets of the poor to enrich the coffers of the wealthy. This amount was taken from the manufacturers, for the poor were obliged to put into their bellies what they would otherwise spend on their backs. And then there was a cry of over-pro duCtion ! By a Liverpool cotton circular, into which he looked a day or two back, it appeared that 150,000 less bales had been taken than were taken during the cor responding period of the previous year. This was the result of the existing system. The speaker read a ta baler statement of the number of cotton mills which had been compelled to stop in the neighbourhood of Oldham and elsewhere, which he mainly attributed to the work ing of the bread tax. He also read the report of the factory inspectors ; and, as a proof of the suffering throughout England, quoted a recent .speech made by Mr. Stewart in the House of Commons, and concluded. by eloquently denouncing the misery and destitution which the Tory system. of upholding monopolies had entailed upon the country.—(Cheers.) Mr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, before the resolution l i passed, wished to mention an important fact, which he had unintentionally omitted. He had spoken of the distress, but he had not told them of the disease and deaili which were to be found stalking through the country. Since corn had become so dear, the number of deaths had in creased in the manutheturing towns forty per cent., and four per cent. all over the country.—(Hear, hear.) Some people condemned them because they called these laws bloody laws ; but if they were the occasion of creating an increase of forty p er con t. i n part i es carr i e d to a prenet tare grave, what could they designate them but as bloody • and as wicked laws.---(Lou'd cheers.) The resolution was then put, and unanimously carried. Mr. CHARLES HOLLAN D , merchant, moved the adop tion of a memori a l to her Most' Gracious Majesty, humbly praying her not t o prorogue Parliament till the dis tress of the nation had been taken into consideration. Sir Robert Peel's proposal was to wait till next February or March. Although this plea thus advanced by Sir Robert Peel, he- - did not believe it was the real motive which prevented him from bringing forward measures of relief. He believed the Right Hon. f Baronet was too shrewd, too intelligent, and too well • ed of the state of the nation, not to believe that informed e e existing distress was severe beyond any to which our Noth recollection could carry us. But - what wile the fact? a m t h h ic e h d h oubted the distress, but he felt that the Cabinett unmanageable uponfe had e t a lie l drawn together were perfectly subject of the Corn-laws.---(Hear.) In . the very iris declaration the other day, at the election for of worth, that his party were united, and that he was at the head of an united Cabinet, were protests made by at least half a dozen of the Cabinet duri ng t h e late elections bi n di n g them not to allow any alteration of consequence in the laws which so completely fettered our commercial pe n ey ,(Hear.) Had we not the declaration of Lord Stanley, at Lanc aster ; of Sir Jamei Grah am , at Dor chester; and of Sir Edward Knatclibull, that they were opposed to any material change ; and of the noble Duke of Buckingham (the author of the Chandoe clause) to the farmers of -Buckinghamshire, that he would not con sent to any change whatever ?—(lrear, hear.) Had we not all these men belonging to the Cabinet which Sir Robert Peel said was an unanimous Cabinet and united on this great question ? These were . the real diffi culties in the way. He knew he could not coerce the men ho was- conneted with to come into any of those plans which he himself saw—which it was impossible he should not see and understand —were essential to the welfare of the whole nation, namely.. to release us from the bonds and trammels of those who held this nation Its with. a yoke of iron in the tyranny of the landowner. e--(Hear, leer.) His game was this :—" Distress," he said, "during the ensuing five months will rise to that point that the starving millions will show themselves ltteuch form and with such features, that my Noble Colleagues,„ will he frightened into sense concessions-- will see they must join with me in alter ing_ e and mending ;" or, as his own hopes indeed might ue , shall see some improvement from some casual circumstance 'from the opening . of some new . - market. of duty, react will of fbreign corn at a low rate ill be cheap, and so we shall b able to creep on ; and then we have the spring before ‘ us, and the possible chance of a good harvest. Should these cthoenepeurotrizlctilriceitetnitsitances unite, .1%-:-able to keen ii;tro ring ail stip of ufferin;2,-, then I may be able to duce slat . a modicum of ameliora tions into the system as will eatisty ray friends that the institutions of the country are safe, and the landed in terest secure ; and it s firm as a rock against all shocks -of danger from the feelings i and sufferings of the masses." e ;-(Hear. hear.), nee(Mr. Holla n d' ;) opinion was that this was the policy wh i c h would guide Sir Robert Peel's ....movements. The Rev, Mr. Guns, • iapttst Minister, took credit to' hiself for Navino• i n total disregard of obloquy and misrepresentation, attended the Rational Conference of Ministers of all denomination's in Ma nc h es t er a gainst the Corn-laws. In the progress that con f erenc e he had suggested an additional stanza to thu national anthem, which was received with marked approbation, and now he took leave to propose another addition in the follow- in c ; sines, to be sung in the streets of Tamworth:— " Oh, all ye men of State, Move not the people's hate By your delay ; But, as you are in power, Improve the present hour, Give, us cheap bread and flour _. .. .-. •• -_-, -:.: -: .-:.By-Xliristreas-day." — (Cheers.) A .party.of the name of Jones here caused some dis turbance, hut was oblig-ed to desist. • Mr. Alderman BLACKTIURNE said he advocated the memorial, not that he eXpected it would produce any effect, but because he thought it right that the great com munity of Liverpool should declare its opinion upon this subject. Our noble representative having said that the Corr.-laws had nothing to do with distress, and that no thing was needed to be done for the relief of the country in this way, it was, he thought, quite right that the in habitants of Liverpool should tell the Queen that they differed from their Representative, and considered the Corn-laws one great cause of that distress, and that till they were repealed, all other plans for obtaining relief would prove ineffectual.—(Cheers.) The memorial was then put and'carried unanimously amidst great cheering. The meeting separated a few minutes past eleven o'clock, having occupied upwards of four hours. GREAT PUBLIC MEETING AT SWANSEA. On Tuesday evening last a public meeting was held in Mount Pleasant Chapel, in this town, for the purpose of " petitioning her Majesty not to prorogue. Parliament till both Howes have considered the recommendations contained in the Royal Speech respecting the restrictions on trade, especially on corn." .. Public meetings in this town had hitherto been held in the Town-hall erected at the expense of the inhabi tants, but the worshipful, the Mayor, refused its use for this purpose on the present occasion. The chapel, which will hold at least one-third more than the hall, was com pletely full. Colonel CAMERON was in the Chair. Sir J. Mounts having made some remarks upon the extraordinary conduct of the Mayor, The first resolution was proposed by Mr. SANDERS, and seconded by the Rev. C. THOMPSON, who acted as delegate from Swansea to the Manchester Conference. The second resolution was moved by the - Rev. Mr. JONES, and seconded by Mr. ROGER WALKER. Mr. J. H. VIVIAN, M,P., rose to move the third reso lution, and was received with great cheering, declaring that he entirely concurred in the object of the meeting. The Hon. Gentleman then read a communication which he had that morning received from a friend of his in the - United States, who, the meeting would perceive, was a man of talent and great observation. The letter was as follows : _ _ _ "Having an opportunity of sending letters to England, I am about to inflict on you another dose of American politics. Ido so, because lam anxious that you and our Whig friends should know as much as possible about the state of party and party feeling here in relation to Eng land, a correct knowledge of which is not always to be obtained from the London newspapers. Petitions have lately been presented to Congress from various parts of the north, praying for a repeal of Clay's Compromise Act, and for an increase of the tariff. • During the dis cussion which arese on one of them, about ten days since, Mr. Adams (formerly President of the United States) spoke strongly in favour of protective duties, and 'of counteracting the attempts of Foreign Go vernments against American industry and commerce.' Adverting to the recent proceedings in England, on the subject of free trade and the. Corn-laws,' and the de feats which the British Ministry had sustained thereon, he hoped that before the American nation consented to act upon such a system, they would have something more definite before them than the report of a House of Commons Committee, or the recommenda tions of an English Administration. Let Great Britain set the example of free trade, and it would then be time enough for America to meet her in a like spirit. Several other Members spoke in favour of the proposed tariff, and one of them (a Mr. Irvin, of this State), went so far as to question the sincerity of the Whig Ministry in re gard to free trade. The Southerners, whose incomes in a great measure depend on the sale of their cottons to the English, spoke strongly against the proposed altera tions of the tariff. One of them (Mr. King, of Georgia) told the Mouse that, instead of quarrelling with the English Corn-laws, they ought to rejoice at their con- • . tinuance. Their effect, in the first place, was to raise enormously the price of bread, and, consequently, the price of labour in England. That increased, of course, the cost of their manufactured goods, and made it more difficult for their manufacturers to compete with those of America; both in• our own and foreign markets. If by the repeal of the Corn-laws the price of bread should be reduced in England and increased in America, the cost of manufacturing would be increased in the latter and reduced in the fornier ; and it would, consequently, be more difficult for us to compete with them. It could not, therefore be the interest of the American manufac turers to seek or desire a repeal of the British Corn-laws. " But how stood the matter in regard to the grain growers of America ? At present they had access to the markets of Great Britain, through the colonial ports of Canada and New Brunswick, at a very low duty. [This is very true; the greatest wheat-growing state at present in the union is 'Ohio, and it is astonishing (if I may believe some of its best-informed inhabitants) how large a portion of its produce finds its way through Canada into England.] The grain growers of the European continent could not avail themselves of that advantage, and, consequently, their grain could not come into competition with that of the Americans. If the Corn-laws were repealed, the grain of the continent being cheaper, from its vicinity to England, than the grain of America, would exclude the latter from the British market, to which they have now the advantage over all other foreign corn growers, of exclusive access through the colonial ports. Thus, both the manufac turing and grain-growing interests of the United States would be greatly injured by a repeal of the British Corn ! laws. There is much truth in. what Mr. King says— i that it is not for the interest of the Taritfers to admit it 1 —as they would then want a precedent or pretext for their protective system" . • . • • • " I will tell you why I do not think that America will soon become a great manufacturing power, unless Eng land—Toryfied England—by persevering in the present impolitic system, shall compel her into it. There is an old Greek proverb, quoted by .Eschylus, that ' Obe dience is the mother of prosperity or well-doing.' Now, this is a virtue which our Anglo-Saxon democrats do not possess in the highest degree. From all I can learn on the subject, there is little or no subordination in their manufactories. The ' workers' are completely masters, and settle wages and everything else at their own plea sure. ' Ah, Sir (said a little master manufacturer to me a few weeks since), your Corn-laws are ruining yod, and our loco-focoism is ruining us.' He then gave a la mentable account of the self-sufficiency and domineering spirit of the workmen. The only exception he made was in favour of the women (the ' gals,' as he called them), who were ' pretty orderly and decent behaved.' Another reason why manufactures are not soon likely to flourish here is, that the same spirit . which leads men to pre fer the freedom of the wilderness to the ' prison ships' of the ocean, gives them also a greater taste for the axe and the spade than for the loom or the spinning jenny. But for the absurd war of 1312, it might have been cen turies before the Americans would have dreamed of be coming a manufacturing people ; and even now, I believe, were we to reform our commercial polic y —were we (as Ministers proposed) to repeal the present Corn-laws, and honestly; and fairly to adopt a system of free trade, I sincerely believe that three parts of the existing manu facturers of America would be extinguished. The peo ple, the sovereign people of America—were not their pride roused, and their passions kept in a perpetual fever of excitement by reports of England's monopolising and hostile policy—of her attempts to force all her commodi ties on the Americans, and to take nothing of them in return—would not much longer consent to pay double price for so many necessaries and conveniences of life as they do now ; they would soon be as ea g er for English manufactures as they are now prejudiced against them. I have never conversed with an American storekeeper who did not say that he should sell half as many articles again if there existed a freer sy stem of trade between , the two countries." The information contained in this letter with respect to the difficulty of establishing and maintaining manu factories in the United States, is, I think, peculiarly in teresting and important, as there can be no doubt that the Americans are making the most strenuous efforts to supply themselves with manufactured goods hitherto drawn from this country, and even to establish works for , the manufacture of iron and other metals. It must, I think, be evident to every one how much the prosperity of this country depends on its manufactures. Ido not for an instant mean to disparage other interests, or to assert that they should be sacrificed to those of the ma nufacturer ; but of this I am convinced, that if the ma nufacturing interests flourish, all other interests will prosper.—(Cheers.) If there is a demand for manu factured goods, there will be a proportionate call for labour, which will have its effect in insuring to the labourer adequate wage s , an d t o th e agriculturist ' a ready sale for his produce. It is to the manufacturing in terest that we have to look for the employment and sup port of the increase of our population. I expressed this opinion some time since—at my election; since then the census has been taken, and partially published, and the result proves that I was right, in this portion; for it ap p that th e population in the rural districts has re mainedmosntalstitfriacti,:unrairnyg, tine great increase being in the towns concur in the proposal that a memorial be addressed to her Majesty for delaying the prorogation of Parliament un til the causes of the existing distress in the manufactur ing districts shall have been investigated.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. AUBREY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. RUTTER. moved the fourth resolution, which hav ing been seconded, Colonel CAMERON moved a resolution as an amendment, but it fell to the ground, and the original motion was carried by acclamation. The meeting, after a vote Of thanks to the Chairman, separated. GENERAL MEETING OF THE OPERATIVE ANTI-CORN -LAW ASSOCIATION, On Tuesday evening last, the members of this Associa tion held a general meeting for the purpose of sending, a memorial to the Queen not to prorogue Parliament until it had taken into considetation the distresses of the country. A memorial and petition were framed and ordered to be presented. GLOUCESTER. A meeting of the united religious congregations in this city was held in the Countess of Huntingdon's chapel oil, Tuesday evening, when petitions to her Nlajesty weref unanimously agreed to. NEWCASTLE. A requisition, signed by upwards of six hundred gf the merchants and others of Newcastle, has been pre sented to the Mayor, requesting him to call a pvplic meeting to consider the propriety of petitioning heAla jesty the Queen to delay the prorogation of PadituAtent. The Mayor has fixed Tuesday (to-morrow) for the meet ing, at the GuilThall. NEW DRENTFORD. A meeting was held here on Friday evening last to address the Queen against the intended prorogation of Parliament. Notwithstanding the wetness of the evening, the attendance was very numerous and respectable and an address to the Queen was adopted for presentation. - DARTFORD. - On Friday evening a numerous meeting was held in the Town-hall, Dartford, to sign a memo±l to her Ma jesty to abolish the infamous bread-tax, Mr. Hadley in the Chair. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Cal low and Ker . • after which between 100 and 200 names were appended to the memorial. A similar memorial is also being signed in the adjoining parish of Bexley. STOCKPORT. A memorial, from Christian ministers of various de nominations, assembled in Zion Chapel, Stockport, on the 23d of September, has been sent to Sir J. Graham, for presentation to the Queen. FALKIRK. On Monday last another meeting of our Stentmasters was held on the all-engrossing subject of the Corn-laws. The Stentmasters are chosen by the merchants and trades for the purpose of assessing the inhabitants to supply the town with water. &c., and they continue in the manage ment of the town's affairs until our (hitherto nominal) Town-Council shall be empowered to enter on the dis charge of their appropriate functions by the proposed new Municipal Bill. It was agreed, at the meeting of Monday, to memorialise the Queen against proroguing the present Parliament, until the Corn-laws is subjected to a thorough legislative revision. The votes were—for Mr. Gartshore's motion, adopting the memorial, 12; for Mr. James Aitk'n's amendment, for rejection, 5. ➢IANUFACTLTRING DISTRESS. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) On Tuesday last, at two o'clock, a public meeting, called by the Provost, in compliance with a requisition from four hundred and forty-eight citizens, was held in the Court-house. The meeting was convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the country, and to memorialise the Queen not to pro rogue Parliament until its attention has been directed to " a revision of the duties on foreign productions, and it has fully considered the laws which regulate the trade in corn." The Court-house was crowded to excess, there being at least eight hundred persons present, the Provost in the Chair. Mr. TRO3IAB BANNERMAN moved the first resolu tion. Had he consulted his own feelings, he would not halle made his appearance in pub lic this day ; but in the present circumstances of the country, he felt that, in coming forward on that occasion, he was performing a duty to his family, to his .friends, to the Public, and especially to the nu merous body of workmen connected with his establish ment.—(Cheers.) The resolution assumed that general distress prevailed, and if Aberdeen were an exception to the general rule, it might be used as a good argument. against the repeal of the Corn-laws. It was not an ex ception. Already the erects of restrictive legislation were felt, and if relief were not speedily afforded, they would be felt far more severely. Delay would certainly ruin a great many of his competitors, and though that might bring about a time of temporary prosperity, that would not feed the hungry and clothe the naked, or bring back the prosperity of former days.—(Cheers.) No ; it would ultimately bring ruin on many, and might end in a civil commotion. He did not mean to discuss there the policy or impolicy of the Corn-laws—that was a subject now pretty wall understood. It was now three years, or nearly so, since petitions were sent to Parlia ment from every part of the kingdom, praying for an in -quiry into the evil effect of the Corn-laws. These peti tions were rejected; and Sir Robert Peel was able to . . satisfy the landlords that the country was in a thriving condition. At that time he (Mr. Bannerman) had some correspondence with the Duke of Richmond on the sub ject. The Duke acknowledged his first letter, but the reply to the Duke's objection being pretty sharp, he did not choose to acknowledge it.—(A laugh.) The time was when a man, by sober - industry, could gain a compe tence and have something to put into the savings' bank, but that time had now gone by, and if the landlords were to have the direction of the affairs of this country, it would never again return.—(Hear.) It would be time enough to talk of over-production when every market in - the world was over-stocked by our manufactures. And when would that be? Look at America alone. If our Corn laws were repealed, and our import tariff otherwise modi fied, we would find a market there to an extent which those who talked of over-production had little conception of.— (Cheers.) Nothing would bring about peace and comfort, and abundance, but the privilege of buying our food in the cheapest market, and exchanging the products of each country on a free and liberal basis.—(Cheers.) And this must come soon, otherwise our manufactures would be ruined. In the cotton trade alone, there were fully half a million of workmen who had not a halfpenny to purchase food with. In these circumstances it was time for Parliament to do something. The question was not one that could be delayed. He would sit down by pro posing the resolution, and expressing an earnest hope that the dark and lowering prospects that were now before them might yet be dispelled by a timely con cession to the just demands of their country for repeal. BAILLIE FORBES, in seconding the resolution, said it could not be denied that great and general distress per vaded the whole of the manufacturing and mercantile interests, and that an effectual remedy must be speedily applied, otherwise both manufacturer and artizan would soon be involved in one common ruin. It was true that this city was not in so deplorable a condition as other manufacturing towns, but we need not flatter ourselves that this state can long continue, for it was evident that the causes which were operating to create such deep distress else where were also at work here, and would very soon plunge us into the same condition, unless means were devised for giving a new impulse to trade. It has been urged by Sir Robert Peel and his friends that sufficient time has not yet been afforded him for maturing his plan ; but, in making such a statement, I hesitate not to say that he neither acts in good faith towards himself nor the country. Can it be denied that he has virtually di rected the government of the country for the last four years ? And did he not, in rejecting the financial mea sures brought forward by the late Ministry, most unequi vocally declare his readiness to undertake the govern ment of the country, and to bring forward a system of finance which, he confidently stated, would extricate it from its difficulties ? Has he not more recently, in ad dressing his Tamworth constituents, expressed the same intentions ? To use his own words, he was ready to prescribe for the political patient as soon as an oppor tunity was afforded him of feeling its pulse. That he has now done—ay, and its purse too; and is it not insult ing to the country, and trifling with its best interests, after having voluntarily accepted the responsible duty of directing the affairs of this great nation, and that, too, with a full knowledge of all the responsibilities and the perilous situation in which the country is presently placed, now to come forward and demand time. for maturinv plan for its relief ?—(Cheers.) Ido not believe that Sir Robert Peel is so unprepared ; on the contrary, I am of opinion that he is thoroughly versant on the subject, and that his only difficulty arises from the unworkable na ture of some Members of the Cabinet. whom he is una ble to bring over to his own views. The great source of much of our present distress arises from that system of class legislation which has been is operation under suc ceeding administrations for the last fifty years--(Great cheering)—a system based upon the principle of transfer ring the great burden of taxation from the shoulders of the higher orders, who are best able to contribute to wards the wants of the country, and to fix it on the in dustrial classes—a system whicn has now been pushed to that extremity as almost to swallow up the entire income of that part of the community, and to concentrate the great portion of the wealth of the country into the hands of a few great aristocratic families.—(Cheers.) So long as the means of the industrial classes was able to meet this drain, and leave a bare sufficiency for the support of their families, the evil was submitted to, with occasional expressions of discontent. But now, when it has arrived at such a climax as to divest the working-,man of so much of his earnings, as to leave an insufficiency fur the sup port of himself and family, the burden has become into lerable. Need we then wonder, under such circum stances, that they now rise in a mass, and demand relief ? I hesitate not to state that the proper and natural remedy for the dangerous state in which the country now stands is an extension of the franchise, and security, by the ballot, to the ,poor but independent voter in the exercise of his political rights.—(Long-continued cheering.) Until this be procured all other means must prove abor tive, and the sooner it is obtained so much will the safety of the country be secured. On these grounds I. beg cor dially to second the resolution.—(Cheers.) Motion earriei unanimously. JOHN ROBERTSON, Esq., of Lincoln's Inn, London, a native of Aberdeen, and late Editor of the Westmin ster Review, came forward to move the second reso lution. A. WecnAst, Esq., seconded the motion. I have been attending to the state of the poor in this city and else where, and I am satisfied that, though Aberdeen is not suffering to the extent of some places, yet I am satisfied that great sufferings prevail among ourselves. Many irt. dividuals and families in Aberdeen do not get half the food necessary for keeping themselves in health, and: surely we all know that if the poor could get more food' for their few pence than they are getting now, they . would be better off ; -and we all know that if the food laws were abolished, we should get cheaper food.—(Hear.) • I meddle not with politics in a general way ; but I look upon this as involving a moral and religious ques tion, and, as a professing Christian, I consider myself bound to de all I can to remove the burdens which op press the poor—burdens which have been kept there by a privileged class for their own benefit. There are differ ences of opinion as to the mode of removing these burdens. I think we should go straightforward with this' one ques tion, because the repeal of these food-laws will afford relief to thousands of the people of this country, and thus better their condition.—(Cheers.) " - Whatsoever ye would that others would do unto you, do ye even so to them."—(Cheers.) "This is the law and the pro phets ;" and if acted on the law would not stand for a day.—(Cheers.)

The motion was then put by the Chairman, and carried without amendment. The DEAN of GUILD rose to propose the third reso lution, and was received with general applause. He did hope that her Majesty would not prorogue Parliament till they had directed their attention to the subject spe cially recommended to their Retie() in her Majesty's Speech. ; That distress' existed in the country was ad mitted on all hands.

On Friday evening last the members 0e the Christian Chartist Church, and other friends of the Charter, gave a tea party to Mr. John Collins, in order to testify the esteem they felt for their respected fellow-townsman for the consistency of his conduct in the cause of Chartism. The party assembled in the Christian Chartist church, which was tastefully decorated with festoons and flowers, and devices emblematical of ultra-Chartist principles; Mr. Vincent in the Chair. After a Variety of singing and recitation, Miss CROWTHER rose, and presented to Mr. Vincent a neatly silver-mounted glass inkstand on behalf of the Church. Mr. VINCENT returned thanks in an effective speech, in the course of which he counselled his hearers to active exertions in the spread of Chartism. Miss WIUTEHOUSE, after an address to Mr. John Col lins, thanking him for his faithful adherence to Chartist principles, presented him with a splendid gold watch and a silver-mounted inkstand, for and on behalf of the mem • hers and friends of the Church. Mr. COLLINS rose and was warmly greeted. He ex pressed the gratitude he felt for the many acts of kind ness he had received at their hands ; but more especially for their kindly sympathy and present on this occasion. Those who knew him best could more correctly appre ciate the sincerity of his conduct, the purity of his mo tives, and•the faithfulness of his adherence to the glo rious principles of Chartism.—(Cheers.) He had never swerved from those principles, and never would.— (Cheers.) Unjust aspersions had been cast upon his character, and many honest-hearted people might for a time be misled by those aspersions : but he was deter mined to live them down by devoting every faculty of his soul to removed attempts to expand the minds of his fellow-workmen, and to realise for them the whole of the principles contained in the Charter.—(Cheers.) He would not consent to compromise a single principle ; they would have the Charter, and nothing less. Mr. C. sat -down amidst much applause. After a variety of singing, the meeting broke up a eleven o'clock. Christian Chartism is working a world of good in Bir mingham. Two churches are open in Birmingham, and wonhip is also performed in fourteen houses. No place is large enough to hold the people who are anxious to attend. Their preaching is of a very high order. No doctrinal points are involved. The morality of Scripture is nobly enforced, as well as a most expansive view of the Deity, the Saviour, and man's duties, religious, so cial, and political. Mr. O'Neil, the pastor, a powerful young man, is a sincere Christian and an enthusiastic Chartist. He also possesses the elements of a good edu cation. Nis intelligence and excellent conduct are at tracting general attention. Christian Chartism promises 0) become a powerful means for effecting man's emanci pation from all tyranny. MR. BUCKINGHAM AND THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. In the last number of the Quarterly Review is an article entitled " Buckingham and Coombe on Ame rica," in which the writer evinces a strong deire to pro duce unfavourable impression., not so much against the books as against their writers. In a letter ad dressed to the public prints on this subject, by Mr. Buckingham, is the following statement of a fact, which ought to be as widely known as the articles in the Review itself, that the bane and antidote may both be equally public ; and as the Reviewers do not admit replies to their statumenti, either of fact or opinion, it is only through the medium of the public journals that both sides can be seen. Mr. Buckingham says— " There is one assertion, however, made by the Re viewer, which, for the sake of truth, it is desirable to have corrected. At the close of his introductor y stric tures, be says, `So much for Buckingham. We do not remember to have alluded to him on any former occa sion in this journal. " It happens to have escaped the recollection of this writer that in the year 1822 there was an article in this same Quarterly Review, ending with the same words— ' So much for Buckingham —professing to be a review of my Travels in Palestine,' but containing so much of falsehood and calumny, that I felt it my duty to institute an a ction for libel against the publisher, Mr. John Murray, in the Court of King's Bench ; and though he bad the ablest assistance that the bar could render him, in the talents of the present Lord Lynd hurst, Baron Parke, and Baron Gurney, engaged as his Counsel in the cause, he found it then desirable to ask for mercy at my hands ; and, abandoning all defence of his libellous publication, he instructed his Counsel to withdraw their plea of justification, make a humble apology in open Court for the injury unjustly done to an honourable man, and consent to a verdict, with costs, being recorded against him. This was Mr. Murray's course on that occasion. " The writer of the libellous article was subsequently ascertained to be the Mr. William John B tnkee, of Corfe Castle—who recently appeared before the Police Magistrates in London, a second time, charged with a nameless offence, having before narrowly escaped cons viction for the same impurity—and on the trial of this individual, at the same period with Mr. Murray, for false and libellous imputations, similar to those incor porated in his article in the Quarterly Review—the Counsel on my behalf being the present Lords Ahinger, Denman, and Brougham, and those on Mr. Bankes' behalf being the present Judges Lyndhurst, Parke, and Gurney—the Special Jury, after a trial of ten hours, and the examination of a host of witnesses, tinder the direction of the late Lord Tentcrden, brought in a ver dict against Mr. William John Bankes, the writer of the article in the Quarterly Review, as guilty of a false, scandalous, and malicious libel, and adjudged him to pay 4001. damages ; while the -osts of Mr. Murray and Mr. Bankes conjoined, were understood to amount to several thousand pounds! "` Evil communications corrupt good manners,' and _as Mr. Bankes' loss of memory is so extraordinary that he forgot his own rank and name, and represented him self to the Police Magistrates to be one John Harris, a servant out of place'—(committing his indecencies, as he wrote his libels, under a false name) —so Mr. Murray'a memory, or that of his Editor s seems to have - Utterly failed him also, when he professes not to remember having ever alluded to me before in his jour nal: The Non-mi-recordo family is not of the purest breed or clearest vision, and therefore often get entangled in their own meshes. Whether the actual recollect i on of thi s tri a l an d conviction of the Quarterly Review and its calumnious contributor may have in any degree contributed to the malignant spirit of the present article on my Work on America, the public in oi judge for them!elves. But it isrigbt that both its elitor and publisher, as well as the public, should be reminded of these facts ; and, con tenting myself with having done this, I leave these worthies to digest them as they may." "It may be as satisfactory to others, as it undoubt edly is-to myself, to be able to contrast, with the spiteful and contemptuous spirit of the writer in the Quarterly Review, the unsolicited, but frank and generous testimony of an English Nobleman, than whom no man has bad abetter opportunity of forming an accurate judgment ; and the equally impartial testi mony of one of the most distinguished American tra vellers of the present day — who se knowled g e of his own country is, perhaps , m ore extensive than that of any man on either side of the Atlantic." LETTER FROM LORD,ASFIBUILTON TO MR. BUCKINGHAM. " I have read a considerable portion of y our Work on America—my long residence in that country leading me to take a deep interest in everything that concerns the great Republic—and I have found in it more general and varied information than in any of the numerous works on the same subject which have issued from the press. lam bourr,l also to sty, that, though Ido not agree with you in al .. - our views and opinions, they seem to bear the stamp of general impartiality and candour."

(Before Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS.) IN RE THE REV. JOHN WILLIAM ST. AUDYN. The insolvent appeared on his petition to be discharged. Mr. Woodruffe supported the application, and Mr. Cooke, with Mr. Thomas, appeared on behalf of several creditors. The insolvent was examined by Mr. Cooke, when it ap peared that he was Rector of Stoke Homerton, in Devon shire. He was son of Sir John St. Aubyn, and matriculated in Oxford, where he took orders in 1822. At this time his debts amounted to 1,1001, due principally to trades men in Oxford. Soon afterwards he married a lady, the • daughter of a Baronet, by whom he got 8001. a-year, and for the four following years lived partly on the Con tinent and partly in England ; during this period his debts increased by between 2,0001. and 3,0001 He attributed much of his losses to having speculated in buying land near Paris. Soon after his return to Eng land he was appointed rector at Homerton, which was a very large parish, the tithes, surplus fees, and other p:r quisites, amounting to 1,30 c/. In 1834 his living in De vonshire was sequestrated and his wife's property mort gaged to pay his debts. • He contracted many debts in 1840, in which year his furniture and other property at the rectory house was taken in execution by Mr. Gil leard, an Attorney in Devonport, who still allowed his (the insolvent's) family to have the use of them, a man Who was married to one of the insolvent's servants, being in possession. In this year he contracted a good many debts ; amongst the rest was one with Messrs. Lockhart for 34/., and one item in this account was a dressing case,_for which he agreed to pay 2CI. From two other- tradesmen he bought plate ; in one case for 25/., and the other 30/., which he afterwards sold to a general dealer named Thomas. residing in Devonport ; and also bought two gold watches for 33/., which he pre sented to his wife and daughter. In the same year he became security in the sum of 500/. for a gentleman named Walpole, who held a situation in the Treasury, to Mr. Allen, a tailor, in Bond-street. In his schedule there appeared one •hundred and fifty-six creditors, mostly tradesmen ; and not the least singular part of the case was the number of persons of each trade to whom he was indebted, there being no less than five coal-mer chants, four grocers, and a similar number of bakers, while the wine-merchants amounted to five. His debts were upwards of 22,0001., and his available assets next to nothing. In reply- to a cross-examination by Mr. COOKE, the insolvent said he received the surplus fees and some others de7.-ived from his living.• The surplus fees amounted to about 3001. He also had 1081. a year by his father's will. Was arrested at the suit of an auctioneer in Devonport for the sum of 51. 14s. The arrest was not what was called a friendly arrest. Lost 1,0001. by the speculation near Paris. Had been accused of gambling, but such an accusation was false. Dnring the time he was at College, his father allowed him 3001. a year, yet when leaving it he was 1,1001. in debt. The rectorial profits did not amount - to 1,8001, although some thought it did. Daniel Allen said he was a tailor, residing in Bond street. Knew a gentleman named Walpole, with whom he had had frequent money and bill transactions. In July, 1840, this person was arrested for debt, and sent for him (witness) to obtain a loan of 5001. telling him at the same time he would get unexceptionable security for the repayment of the money. He then went to Mr. Walpole who was at the lock-up in Chancery-lane, and met the insolvent, who told him he was Rector of one of the largest parishes in Devonshire, containing upwards of 40,000 inhabitants, and had four curates. He also said he was in the re ceipt of a clear and unincumbered income of more than 2,0001. per annum. He offered to become security for Mr. Walpole, and witness consequently lent the 5001., out of which he (the insolvent) got 100/. He was never told by the insolvent, or any other person at the time, that his living was under sequestration, or he certainly would not have lent the money. Mr. COOKE again recalled the insolvent, who swore solemnly that the arrest at tilc suit of hiK detaining cre ditor was bona fide. The Learned CommtssioNrt—l think, Mr. Cooke, after the solemn assertion of this gentleman, you will not deem it necessary ti press this point of your case further. I cannot 'think it possible - that a person of his profession would Swear to what was not true. Mr. CooKE said, under the circumstances, he would .assent to the suggestion of the Court.. He considered, nevertheless, that there were strongand tangible grounds for the• application that the insolvent should be remanded for a considerable time. It was conduct like that of the insolvent's which brought disgrace on the Established Church, and afforded a handle to her enemies to cast odium on the whole body, and he should then assert that no body of men were more exemplary than the clergy of that Church to which he (Mr. Cooke) had the honour to belong. In his case the excuse of youth could not be pleaded ; but here was an old than pursuing a course of reckless extravagance to the utter ruin of the unfortu nate 'tradesmen who were credulous enough to trust him. Many of the creditors were parishioners of the insolvent, to whom he ought to have held out an example as their pastor, instead of taking their property, without either the means or the intention of paying them. Every debt he had contracted since the sequestration of his living and the mortgaging his wife's property was unfair and frau dulent. He (Mr. C.) was quite certain that the Court would consider he had acted most disgracefully and dishonestly. What business had he to buy plate and other property of silversmiths, except indeed it was for the purpose of selling it afterwards, and indeed that was the most pro bable surmise that could be found. If ever there was a case which called for the extreme operation of the dis .cretionary clause, this was one. He was not entitled to that indulgence which was afforded to even ordinarily hOnest men, and he therefore called upon. the. Court to mark its reprobation of such conduct. Mr. THOMAS said one thing at least was prettycertain, that the insolvent, being a clergyman and gentleman, had the advantage of having his word taken, where a poorer man would be disbelieved. He agreed with his learned friend that the clergymen of the Established Church were a very respectable body of persons, but he would not go so far as to say they were the Most respectable, as he thought the Dissenting Clergy perfectly on a par with them. He was still incredulous with respect to the fact that the insolvent was not arrested with his own con currence for the purpose of conveniently sweeping away his debts with one stroke. It was ridiculous to think it could be otherwise, for here was a clergyman of the Church of England with still a good income, of high and aristocratic connections, himself the son of a Baronet, and married to the daughter of another, arrested for the paltry sum of 3!. 14s. If his conduct had been pre viously irreproachable he might believe such to be the fact, but when he looked at his former reckless dis honesty, he felt bound to express his dissent from any such opinion. The insolvent had denied that he ever gambled in the strict sense of the word ; but he (Mr.. Thomas) thought there was much suspicion in the case, as it was very unlikely that a man of his immense income should run in debt so deeply without some other causes than that which appeared in his schedule. Mr. WOODRUM: addressed the Court in favour of the application. _ The insolvent was a person of high birth and connections, and it could not be denied that he • launched out into much extravagance after his marriage; but in doing so he also had every expectation at the time of being enabled to pay all his debts. He had ex pended much money in building, and also lost much by law expenses, for in the schedule there wore the names of no less than ten lawyers. The LEARNED COMMISSIONEft said he felt bound to congratulate Mr. Cooke on the good taste he showed, not alone in this case, but in all in which he was engaged in that. Court, in refraining from the use of words which are strong or gross. He (the Learned Commissioner) was sure there could be no properly-instructed mind, be that person of Whatever religious opinions he might, but must feel infinite regret at the exposition of this case. No one • could see the means of abundant affluence the insolvent possessed, not merely for the en• joyment of the comforts and luxuries of life, but also for the discharge of every duty, and for the exercise of the most expanded benevolence, and now hear the facts of the case, without regret. However the insolvent might have acted, he could not help cre diting him on his oath. He considered this to be a case peculiarly fitted for the-operation of the discretionary clause, for the insolvent had a good income after the sequestration of his living. on which he could have lived in quiet but respectable competency. The sche dule was not what it ought to be, and he should there fore adjourn the case •to a future day, when the insol vent would receive judgment, In the meantime, some other creditors would be served with notices. POLICE INTELLaiENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Marshall, the master of a vessel called the Hope, was summoned before the Lord Mayor, upon an information charging him with hawing broken bulk on a cargo of coals, without payment of the Corporation dues of Is. Id. on the ton. Mr. Martin, of the City Solicitor's office, Stated that several cases of the kind had been decided at the Thames Police-orrice, and he regretted that within the iminedilte jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor,: two eases had recently oeslurred at one wharf, for which his Lordship's inter ference was necessary. The object of the Corporation in bringing forward these cases, was not only to secure the' regniar - paYthent" of the rates and dues, but to protect the fair dealer. The penalties incurred was at the ut most 261.. Captain Marshall, upon being asked whether. he was guiitty-er.not, guilty, assured the Lord Mayer,,raost #O - that he was totally unconscious of pill in the transaction. • , - Dix. T. P. Rose, Lispeetur of Coal Dues, appointed by the City, stated that, on the :,,7th of September, he saw the 'Hope lying outside the Phenix Coal Wharf at Whitefriar's, and coal-backers discharging coals from her into craft, the defendant acting as master. • Mr.. W. M. Russell, Collector of Dues in the Coal Market, deposed that no rates or dues were paid on or before the 27th of September. for the Hope. The dues were paid on the 30th of September. The Loan Ma.rom - --The defendant asserts very posi tively that he was not aware that he had done wrong. Let me hear his evidence to that effect. The defendant then called . - - Richard Johns, clerk to Mr. Bales, coal merchant, Of the Phernix Coal Wharf: who ststecl that the derelict ant certainly was not to blame in The :ielenduat had outlaw! to loot (tl.e %vitooss) toe eon", - cates in proper time, on . the 23d of September ; and the dues ought,. according, to the charter, to have been paid by Mr. Eales. By some mistake, howevQr. they had not been paid within the. period required by law. The LORD - MAyort said it was hard upon the master of a vessel that a penalty should be intlicted.upon him for the offence of another. M. Martin - stated, that, accordir.p; to , 'the Coal Act, proceedings must be instituted against the n a :ter or the owner, and Abe, owner : was generally in the country, and not easily to be found. The LORD MAYOR—It is impossible to allow a viola tion of so important an Act to be passed by with impunity. The coal merchant must bear this man harmless. Richad Johns submitted that Mr. Eales was but young in business, and considered that it would be quite suffi cient if the dues were paid before the discharge of the cargo was completed. The LORD MAYOR desired to hear the next case before he should determine upon the amount of the penalty. Mr. Martin then charged Joseph Shame, master of the Joseph and Mary Ann, of having broken bulk on a cargo of coal before the rates and dues payable by law to the Corporation were paid.' Mr. Rose, the Inspector of the coal dues, deposed that he saw coal porters discharging coal from the vessel at the Phcenix wharf, belonging to Mr. Eales, the coal merchant. The master was not on board, and witness allowed the whole cargo consisting of 40 tons, as he un derstood,:to he delivered, after which he challenged the master with the violation of the Act. Mr. Russell, the collector of the Corporation, then deposed that on the 30th September the defendant asked him whether the dues had been paid, speaking of him self as the master, and stating that the cargo had been discharged. Subsequently on that day the dues were paid; the defendant at the same time declared that he had given the certificates to the coal-merchant's clerk, who confessed in witness's presence that he had lost the papers. The defendant indignantly declared that he had duly authorised the payment of the dues, and handed over the necessary papers, and he had taken it for granted that all was right, having been assured that Mr. Eales had done all that was necessary. Richard Johns, the clerk of Mr. Bales, acknowledged the correctness of the statements made by the de fendant, and stated that as he had committed the mis takes Mr. Bales could hold him responsible for the pay ment of the penalties, whatever they might be. The LORD MAYOR—We must take care to fine people who commit such errors as a lesson to others. I fine each of the defendants 51. and costs. Mr. Martin said that he should be' satisfied with no minal costs. He observed that ignorance was the common plea offered by defendants on occasions of this kind. The LORD MAYOR—I hope they won't think after the infliction of the penalties here, that ignorance will any • longer answer as an excuse. They all know very well that the dues ought to be paid before bulk is broken, and certainly it is Mr. Bales's duty to pay these men, In the course of the clay the masters paid in 5/. 10s. as the penalty and nominal costs, and were discharged. Theystated that Mr. Bales had sent the money, and tey hoped that he would pay them for the loss of time they had sustained, in consequence of the prosecution arising out of his neglect. A seafaring man, named Gibs, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having thrown a cracker into the yard of the India Arms Inn, in Lime-street. George Wharton, manager of the yard, stated that the greatest danger was to be apprehended from the con tact of fireworks with straw and other Combustible matter on the premises. He had, however, learned - that the de fendant and his connections were highly respectable, and as he believed the act originated in mere thoughtless ness, there was no wish to press for the infliction of the penalty. The LORD MAYOR said that the safety of the public was an object, independently of the 'offenee committed against the proprietors of the premises. Inspector Brake said that the risk incurred by such an act was greater than generally imagined, for forty barrels of gunpowder had been lately taken into the yard. The Lolly MAYOR—What has the defendant to say ? The Defendant—l really did not know the rules of the City, and I first lighted the cracker with my cigar and dropped it at my feet in the street, and it flew into the yard. It was without thought, I assure your Lordship. The LORD MAYOR—I can't believe that it was inten tional, and, therefore, I shall fine you only 10s. ; but you might have done irreparable mischief.—The fine was paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Florence Foley, a master basket-maker, Erin.- in Stacey-street, Seven-dials, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hard - wick, - for an assault upon John Hays, whereby his'eve-sight was completely destroyed. The complainant; who had been a soldier in the East India Company's service, stated that while abroad he lost the sight of his left eye. On Sunday he entered a public house in Seven-dials to procure some refreshment, when the defendant, who was wrangling with two or three others, came up to him, and without his giving him the slightest provocation struck him a blow on the ball of the right eye, which instantly closed it up, and complainant 'lrad since been informed by a surgeon, who had examined it, that the sight was for ever completely destroyed. The defendant said lie was struck first by the com plainant. A witness disproved this. Mr. HARDWICK advised the defendant to make his peace With the complainant by giving him some remu neration. Complainant said that no money could compensate him for the loss of his sight, as it deprived him of the means of getting his living; in fact, added he, when I leave this office, I am unable to see my way home, and I have no money to pay any one for shewing, we. I therefore beg your Worship to send me to some institution where I shall be taken care of for the present: Mr. HARDwic K directed him to be:taken to Middlesex Hospital and committed the defendant to the House of Correction to hard labour for one month.
