The Deputies met again yesterday at the Crown and Anchor, instead of Brown's Hotel, the latter place being found too small for the purposes of the meeting. I'. A. TAYLOR, Esq., took the chair at a quarter past eleven o'clock. The Worthy CHAIRMAN, upon taking the chair, stated that before they proceeded with the business of the day, he was anxious to read the correspondence that had been received since yesterday. The first was a note from Mr. O'Connell, written yesterday, but not received till after the meeting had adjourned. The note was to the following effect :—" Mr. O'Connell presents his compliments to the Chairman of the Meeting of Deputies from the manufacturing districts, and regrets extremely chat his necessary attendance ir. the Belfast I►.quiry Committee, will deprive him of the honour of being present at the above meeting this day.—Tuesday, the 15th of July." Mr. Wallace had also , expressed himself in similar terms. They had also received a letter from Lees, near Manchester, to the fol lowing effect :—" We, the Free Trade and Anti-Corn law Association of Lees beg leave to thank you and the Delegates assembled in behalf of our suffering country, for your devotion to the cause of free-trade principles, and your zeal in bringing before the Government and the country the horrible and devastating effects of un just and blighting monopolies. We are too poor and exhausted to be able to send a Delegate to your meeting, or we should gladly have done so. Lees and neighbourhood, in the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne is mostly engaged in spinning cotton-yarn and manufacturing cotton goods. We have a population of about 2,000, or 600 house holders. The people totally out of work are about 230, and the people partially employed, say three days per week, more than 300. Many are on the parish books : the poor-rates are trebled : the wages constantly reduc ing, the employers almost ruined, and we do not see how it is possible much longer to continue without a total breaking up of the social system and a frightful convul sion. And to add to the misfortune, the middle classes are rapidly sinking down to abject po verty, and quite unable to bear up any longer. A total repeal of the Corn-laws, and a repeal of all mo nopoly laws which ruinously raises the price of food and all kind of provisions, we deem to be the only chance of saving the country, and raising us once more to a state of comparative happiness." This letter was signed on behalf of the meeting and association, by William Nichol son, chairman.. Another letter was received from Hinckley, stating thiit a public meeting of the inhabi tants of Hinckley was held to consider the pro priety of sending a Deputy to the meeting ; to simi lar meetings previously, the inhabitants of Hinckley had always sent Deputies, but they now felt so utterly hopeless; that they had decided on not sending a Deputy, but sending a letter explananatory of their feelings : "of the state of llinckley for suffering no words could convey an idea. Tears and groans were but poor lungusge for it." " Mr. Thomas Cloves," continued the letter, "is the appointed bearer of this letter of the in habitants of Hinckley to the Anti-Corn-Law Deputies assembled in Palace-yard, London. If you will proc►.~re a bearing for him wh►le he reads it, or cause it to be read to the meeting by your Secretary, you will , much oblige. your fellow-sufferers of Hinckley." Mr. G. Thompson then read .the following letter:— THE INHABITANTS OF HINCKLEY , TO7THE M&ET, ING OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW DEPUTIES, PALACE- YARD, LONDON. " Fellow-SuilZ•rers—At the summons of the League, we sent Representatives to both the late meetings of Anti-Corn-law Deputies, but we send none to this. Our best wishes are with you, not our hopes, for we have none. You are again attempting a breach in that mo nopolist Legislature that furnishes the many for the luxury of the few ; that battens the few on the very flesh and blood of the multitude that pine and die around them ; that shuts us from the rest of the plentiful world in England, as in a pri son, reducing the food of its sinewy and willing inhabi tants to less than prison allowance; that monopolist Le gislature that blocades the British coast with its execra ble Excise, allying itself with the famine, destruction, and death that besiege us. We admire—almost wonder sat your perseverance in the object of your meeting—we utterly despair of your success. " We feel as though the Anti-Corn-law agitation had done its utmost, thanks to the men that originated, thanks to the energetic men that have worked, all thanks to the men that have supported it. In Parliament all has been said on the Corn-laws than can be said, and said in the best manner •, but ,you hope still to move its Honourable Members. They are immovable. They will disregard your suppliant attitude. The Houses of Parliament, as • at preseut occupied, are no arena for the Corn-law controversy ; for ourselves we would cease to wage it there. You think the public at tention will be roused by this meeting ; it is already thoroughly and fearfully aroused. Your arguments are known our empire through, and where no lecturers of yours have been to stimulate the people, there eloquent want and convincing hunger have been exciting them. There are now no converts to be made, the minds of all are made up, except of such as are neutral from interest or incapacity. The Anti-Corn-law League have done their mos t, an d h ave b een frustrated ; we wait now the course of events. We look now either for new measures on the part of the League, or else for the uprising of some more power ful party. The condition of the inhabitants of Hinckley may be understood from the 'following state mein :—out of all the stocking frames in Hinckley nut more than twenty are fully employed. One quarter of the fames have two-thirds of what would be full employ vent ; another one-quarter of them have half employ ment ; the remaining half of the frames are laid down, that is, are never used at all. Rather more than a fifth of the houses in Hinckley are void at present ; half of the number have been vacated within the last- year. Last year the parish of Hinckley paid 7:4. 11d, in the 11. per annum poor-rates ; while Sharnford, a parish in the same union, chiefly, though not altogether agricultural, paid Is. 3d. The rate-payers of Hirckley pay six times heavier rates -than -do the rate-payers of Sharnford, in the same union. There is scarcely enough work in Hinckley to employ one-third part of the weavers, The Members of the House of Commons' were returned to remedy this distress. After abortive attempts at its elm no Him. Members are justified in retaining their scats Since the sessiCa began popular suffering, far from sub siding., has increased. The present :%feinhers of Parlia ment have proved themselves incompetent to its miti gation. Still more unequal mar we expect them to be to the dread elnerit'oneies that are hastening, on us. . We, have, therefore, prayed them ss simplest 'justice either t! - . relieve the peoPle or to resign .their serfs;ts; give the nation contentment, or t o hive them back their Fellow-suffer ers we thank you for your fight - against the Corn-laws, hot we think y our cause i s no w re s ol v ed into another case.

If you find it such, say so; fearlessly, say S o to the world ; .appeal then from the Parliament to the people—from the Commons to the country—front the rowers that he, to that only source of just power in England, the English nation. "Fellow-suffer — ers, we unit with solicitude the result of your fleeting. We abide with anxiety, not UTI - with terror, the coining of the next few months. We have great faith, however, in our country, that, whatever may be her trials, she may he found equal to it. Our country, whose physical and moral resources are -so vast, the genius of whose people makes her artisans the teachers of the whole earth,the.holdness of whose sailors constitutes them the carriurs.for the whole world, the vastness of whose com merce whitens the whole ocean with its sails, and crowds every port with its ships. ;Our country, for ages past an asylum of Liberty in the earth, and within whose hear ing the vide world round scarcely a single battle has been fought for in which some one or other of her sons has not struck a blow for the good old cause. We have faith too, with all reverence we say it, in that Providence that laid the foundation of England's gmitness in the ocean's unfathomable depths, and that lifted her thence, rich with mines below and wisdom above, into her commanding position on the seas; we have faith in the God of nations, who can over rule their calamities and revolutions for greater final good—in the God who, through national hardship and vicissistude, early trained the British people up for strug gle and success—in whose name, Magna Charta was confirmed to the "Barons bold on Runnymede"—whom the pure-minded Milton supplicated for freedom's cause —of whose presence round him, the hero :Hampden was mindful when he died—who received the martyred Syd ney's parting spirit—and to whose eternal principles of truth, justice, and mercy; lies the patriarch's last appeal. We are calm, but are determined ; conscious of difficulty, but confident of our cause ; resolved on our rights, but resolute on rightful - means." (The reading of this ad dress was frequently-interrupted by loud cheering.) The CHAIRMAN said the meeting would now proceed to the business of the day, which was to receive reports of the distress which existed .in different parts of the country..l-Ie was proceeding to call the Rev. NB*. Bailey, Delegate of Sheffield; when All. WINKS, of Leicester, said he should b#•glad to hear the programme of the plan of the Committee with , espect to future operations, They wore all prepared to make reports, but they wanted to know w hat should be done.—(dear, hear.) - . Mr. G. THOMPSON said the Committee in their deli berations yesterday had considered most carefully and anxiously what steps it would be proper for the Con- ference to pursue practically, with a view to • obtaining - the object which had brOught them together. They re solved upon several measures, and he would refer to them in order to satisfy the meeting that they had not been unmindful of the trust reposed in them. They intended, in the course of the day, to seek an interview with the Prime Minister of the country:, for the whole of the assembled Delegates, that they might lay upon the conductor of the present Ad ministration the solemn and momentous responsibility of denying the prayer which, on behalf of a perishing desperate people, they would on that occasion prefer if the interview were granted. They had undertaken, also, a more grateful task,. that of applying to his Royal High- • ness the Duke of Sussex—(Cheerss—the liberality of whose opinions, both upon religious questions and ques tions concerning the personal and political liberty of the subject, was top well known to require from him either explanation or eulogy.—(Loud cheers.) It was intended to seek on behalf of the Deputies, through their estimable Chairman, an interview with the Royal Duke. He did not know whether he was at liberty to state at that moment what was the precise object of that inter view. It had reference to something more than the mere laying before his Royal Highness the state of the coun try; it was intended, through the Royal Duke, . to seek an opportunity of laying a statement of the grievances of those whom they represented at the feet of a higher Per sonage in the realm, who, they believed, shared in the feelings of compassion, and in the views of sound national policy which were cherished by her revered relative. (Loud cheers.) The answer to their applications would be laid before the meeting the moment they ar rived.---(Hear, hear.) With respect to other mea sures, it • had been resolved in the Executive Com mittee to have a meeting of Delegates as early as pos- slide, for the purpose of considering maturely what means still remain to be adopted of a constitutional and proper character fen the attainment of their object— mea»s which had not hitherto been resorted to, but which promised, by the adoption and application a them, to work out the end which. they had in view. It was intended that that meeting should be of a strictly Li'l.nelaPv.iri t h eir g nth,eo families , clllraurse , f 4 or 3 - p r i va t e character ;- that a: the present c f r u i l s l i e s s . t . o ri pp o o t r i t i t a t i nity of stating their vi‘!•sv in i meeting every Delegate: would be invited. He hoped that the Delegates who were now anxious to have some plan-at :nice adopted, would attend at that meeting, and state what, in their opinion, was the best plan which could be pursued.—(Cheer s .) A conversation ensued with reference to the propriety of bearing the statements from Sheffield and other places, several gentlemen in the room proposing that the meeting should proceed at once to the discussion of m u p st e t hi se ulterior measures, instead of hearing ofadditional distress. At length it was agreed that the Delegates should pro ceed with their statements until two O'clock, when the meeting should proceed to the - discussion of future ope rations. . The . ReV. Mr. BAILEY, of Sheffield, then addressed the meeting. sympathised would with not, the therefore, impa- impa tience which was manifested at the prospect of hearing into his P° l4s ' scion, but would merely with all the harrowing details further a few remarks.

Ile would not trouble the meeting with this statement, as it would probably appear before ployed men, who, with 150 exceptioxs, the publ:c through • so me other medium. The dis tress in Sheffield now extended to every branch of its trade. He held in his hand a list which showed the reduction in the wages received by various operatives then as compared with the wages received in 1838. He had selected for the comparison the year 1838, because that was felt to be a period of distress, and wages were then supposed to have reached their minimum. But he found, in looking over the list before him, that many operatives who i n 1838 were earning 205., 255., 305., or more, were now earning stuns varying from 5%;. - to Bs. or 10s. He had inquired into the cases of 2,156. families, amounting to upwards of 10,000 individuals, whose wages had of late declined, and who were suffer: ing under the pressure of severe distress. . It should be observed that the decline in the trade of Sheffield -was not owing to the introduction of machinery, because the manufacturers there employed very little machinery now, which had not been in use fifty years ago. In fact, the only i m portant article of machinery in use in Sheffield was the steam-engine, which drove their wheelQ, and which had been in use for nearly half a century. The distress in - Sheffield could not, therefore, be in any way traced - to the introduction of new Machinery t h ro sving VA rious hands out of' employ 7 meat, as was alleged to b" the case in other 'districts. lie had ascertained the particulars of Various eases of distress An th e town he represented, but there were many others which had escaped his inquiries. There were several operatives who refused to communicate to him the his-. tory of their sufferings; they told him they knew his in tentions were charitable, but as they t hutigh t his ener gies were made with a view to petitioning Par liament, they refused to enter iato any disclosures. "1 t was not words," they said," would move Parliament, but force they should have if they did not change their system." That was no doubt violent language, but it was not the oppressed but the oppressors that would be answerable 1;n- the consequence's• of the excitement created by the sufferings endured miller our present legislation. lle should mention that all the money he had stated to I►.? now received by operatives at the present day, was not. paid in wages ; but that a considerable portion was received either out of the poor rates, or out of charitable contributions. The decline of wages, was of course, felt. • by the shopkeepers, - because so much floating capital ceased to circulate among them. lie had ascertained that in a number of cases into which he had inquired, there. were 6,0002 a week less paid in wages during the present year than in former periods ; and that ;could give a yearly diminution of 300,0001. All that money was withdrawn from the shopkeepers ; and that ac counted for the change in their condition. The poor did not in general attribute their distress to the Corn-laws, but to the influence of class - legislation ; and thousands of them looked to the Charter as the only remedy for the evils under which they suffered.—(ll - ear, hear ) The Sunday-schools were now comparatively deserted. Ile bad scarcely found a single case in which those schools were as numerously attended during the present year as in the year 1838. Large sums had been of late contri buted out of the funds of the Trades Unions toward.. 7 the reFf , fof the div.ressf!d, He, had i.!fn informoci igwy-hly Cort r with rb , . !:nionz,l - 1..t tries in •-)C • •ri • I. ara.i n 0,41/.

A gentleman in the room, Mr. Ibbotson, a man well known in Yorkshire and in LancaShire, had told him that if the Corn-laws were - repealed, he should be able to-morrow to lind employment for 500 fresh hands.—(Hear, hear.) The charitable contribu tions of individuals could never effectually meet the pre vailing. distress. It was not charity the people wished for ; charity was the most expensive mode of satisf3ing the general wants.—(Hea", hear.) Charity ! Why the wealth of the nation might be expended in charity, and yet leave the evil greater at , its close than at its commencement.—(Hear, hear.) He had ascertained that among the young men of Shef field—among that class who formed the hope of every nation—there were now 134 thrown by necessity on the parish, and working on the highway. The want of food would inevitably destroy the feelings and the cha racter of our population. Man was a physical, as well as a spiritual animal ; and the mind decayed if the body was left a prey to hunger. In such a state of destitution as he had described, he wanted to know how men could retain their domestic virtue. He had himself known the ease of a man whose wants were relieved, hut relieved at the expense of the honour of his wife. — (Cries of " Shame.'') The lessons of religion would be preached in vain to men pre-engaged with alarms of bankruptcy, or with the horrors of actual distress. It was the duty of every good citizen to strive to obtain a remedy for the evils - under which the country now suf fered. As a minister of religion he should be unwilling to mingle in the present contest ; but how was lie to avoid coming forward when the people were starving ? —(Heer, hear.) While he witnessed the distress which everywhere met his eyes, he felt compelled to say that he cared little for the la.vs of etiquette ; the higher and more imperious laws of sterling humanity required of them all to be at their posts.—(Cheers.) It was true that they were not sent there by men whose voices they had bought—(l - lear)—but he had no- brsita , lion in saying that they more truly represented the people of England than if they were their more legal representatives, like the present House of Commons. There was a time when Sir Robert Peel might have been a great man. Providence threw in the was of that little man one golden occasion, when he could have be come the saviour of his country. Rut he had neglected the golden opportunity. He had heard a multitude of the poor wish maledictions on the head of Sir Hobert, Peel, which he bad rather die of famine than hear melt wish upon his own head. He heard of a genticquan, who in private company said, that if 100 persons east lots, and the lot should fall upon hint, he would take the lot to deprive Sir Robert Peel of life. He felt convinced that no such attempt ought to be made under any pretence whatever ; but he was persuaded of this, that when he, Sir R. Peel, went to his grave, there would be but few to shed one tear over it. Something must be done, but what that something was it was not for hint to say. Unless the great bodies of the people whom - they represented were prepared to act with them they had no part to act. Truth, however, must prevail. The truth of the political doctrine, that the Corn-laws were an in, a sion of the people's rights, that the monopoly of the suffrage was another invasion of the people's rights, must neces sarily, before long, be established. The master mono poly, which involved all the minor ones, must fall ; and when it did come down, great must be the fall. Mr. W. IBBOTSON said, it had been resolved at the Committee last evening, that gentlemen should confine themselves to such statistics as they had brought ,with them. That being the case, he had little to say, as the most important documents he had to communicate had been laid before the Anti-Corn-law League on a previous occasion. He might perhaps be allowed to refer briefly to them, as they conveyed a more correct view of the condition of the people in She ffi eld than anything he could state of himself. lie would first direct their at tention to the casual list of the poor. In 1836 the quarterly amount of the casual list was 162/. In 1837 ,in the commence ment of the year,it increased to 240/.; and towards the close of the year, in consequence of the panic in the American market, it increased to 9.00/. In the years 1838 and 1839 it • fell, but in the year 1840 the effects were again felt of the inability of the Americans to pay for the articles of commerce which they had formerly got, or to continue their commerce with us, and the consequent want of em ployment amongst our operatives,and the casual list rose to 2,0001. In the year 1841 it averaged about 1,600/or 1,800/. ; and-in the first quarter of the present year the amount increased to 2,235/.. Let them consider this. The casual list, which in 1836' was only 1621. per quarter, in creased in the year.lB42 to 2,235/. in the first quarter, and in the quarter ending the present week to 4,253/. ; and there was every reason to believe that it would rapidly increase. The number of men capable of working who had applied for relief in the quarter ending March 19, 1826, was 316, which increased to 984 for the corresponding quarter in the year 1836. Since that period the increase was progressing and would con tinue to progress till something was done by the Go vernment to alleviate the distress of the people. Ibbotson here read an extract from a pam phlet published by him about ten or twelve years ago on this subject, whick showed that the distress he foretold, as the consequence of the system then pursued by Government, had resulted from that: system, and then went on to say, that though the people of England were a most loyal people, yet that the de4itution which they suffered would soon put that loyalty to a test, which he feared they could not beat. Alter some further remarks upon the prosperity which would result to this country if Government would create laws that would enable us to exchange our manufactures for the agricultural productions of America. Mr. Ibl,t. son concluded by stating t' at something must be done to remedy the present evils of the country, or the con sequences would be most awful. The Rev. Mr. BONNER, of Bilston, said that he per fectly sympathised with Mr. Bailey of Sheffield in his feeling of not wishing to be here. He (Mr. Bonner) had attended the Conference of Ministers at Manchester, solely on account of the great and extensive dis tress that prevailed in his own neighbourhood. lie . had also attended. the Conference held last February at London, and on neither of these occasions was it his desire to be present ; his incline nations did not lead him to take part in such assemblies of the people, but the distresses of the people compelled him to overcome his feelings and attend to further the • good cause—the cause of charity and of the people. Neither had he any desire to take part in the present proceedings, but the same sense of duty which had prevailed with him previously, operated on him To detail the distresses of the people, calamitous and extreme as ho knew them to be, were a task he was not equal to. It was a task which fairly nonplused him. lle knew that among . the people the feeling pre vailed that any agitation on the subject would be attended with little or no good effect. The people had ceased to regard steps such as the present movement leading to any remedy for the sufferings which encompassed them. Ile felt ' bound to state that he knew men of good princi ples, religioas men, who entertained these sentiments. He had heard many persons say that no g ood could be done until they rioted -- until they rose; he had laboured hard to keep those feelings down, but he knew that those feelings existed. In the Wolverhampton district, there were 134 blast furnaces, of these sixty• two were at the present moment idle, each of those employed 160 persons, and thus there were 10,000 persons at present out of employment. There were a number of iron mills in that neighbour hood, which employed about from 200 to 300 hands each. The majority of these were now idle. The Japan trade was in a dreadful state. One master was now work ing for 50 per cent. less than he had done three years ago, of course he could not employ the same number of hands, and destitution would consequently be increased. In his town there were at the present moment 130 honest labouring men breaking stones in the work house. Ile had heard of a vice -maker, who had been anythi ng but • a poor man, but Who was now a very poor one. He had been seeking for a job, and at length had procured one, which would bring him in about 10s., but he had not money sufficient to purchase the iron. A friend of his (Mr. Bon ners) let him lave the iron, and went to see hiin .at .his work. There was another working with 'him.. They "both seemed - much exhausted, and, when • pressed, admitted that they had had nothing to eat • from Thursdly morning until that time, which was Sit ; turday morning. - A jeweller told him that within the last 10 weeks he had purchased 14 or 15 svedding rings, which ' had been brought to him by It6thers of families, to pro , (lire food for their children ; they were not pledged, but sold. because the parties had no hope of ever being able to redeem them. The general feeling in the minds of the wet-king classes was of a most awful description. In Bilston and its neighbourlaaxl there were 29 furnaces, 15 of these were out of work, and the number of unem ployed in that town could not be less than 3,000. The workhouse was so full that the guardians were obliged to have beds - made on the floor, and the old poor-house at Bradley had been ordered to be repaired fin. their recep tion. At one of the works at Bradley, which formerly employed 180 persons, only ten were now employed. It was important that these things should be known.— (Cheers.) He considered the Bible the great director in matters of political economy. The great Scripture doc trine of truth was that God had constituted the whole Itm»an race as one family—that the doctrine of patrio tism, the doctrine of local attachment, was a fallacy, that the whole world was his country, and all the inha bitants thereof his country m en- -(Cheers)—that God had made provision for the whole human race, irrespee tive of local situations—(Cheers)—that he had provided abundance, and had given rain, and snow, and sunshine, not to enhance the rents of the landlords, but to give bread to the eater, and seed to the sower.--- e (Cheeria)' What were the Corn-laws but a tax upon the rein, p_1(1 now, and annshine HeaNi . n—(Cheer,9 connteJ-5.r -ti-}re of tit.= gifts of God?

The country was on the' brink of a volcano, and unless the ocean of commerce was turned in upon it, it would burst, and spread desolation ,on the aristocracy end every other portion of aociet.y. He trusted, however, that God would avert such a calamity. The time was now come, when something must he done. Some proposed to go to the Queen, others to refuse payment of the income-tax. 11e did not recommend the latter course ; he believed the law would not let him ; but he hoped Sir Robert Peel might get a good Income-tax—over tile left.—(Cheers and laughter.) He hoped, however, that the Corn-laws would be repealed, and that England would rise like a giant refreshed, and the cry of starvation would be no tenger heard.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. 'TAUNTON. of Coventry, said that since the Con ference hadlast met in February, the distress in Coventry hadbeen of a most Appalling character. He felt reluc tant to present himself again to the Conference, belies - - lug., as be did, that tlte callous-hearted aristocracy were -determined to goad the people to rebellion, in order to govern by the sword.—(Cheers.) He considered it WAS a mark of moral degradation for a freeman to have ()C.. casion there to Make these complaint*. - lt was.a proof of our individual selfislmess.--(Cheers.) %Ire were now suffering the penalty of our former apathy. The middle classes and the aristocracy had locked themselves up in private, and had neglected their duty to suffering humanity.—(Cheers.) He was astonished at the apathy of the metropolis on this subject. London should recol lect that, though she was the metropolis of the empire, yet she depended upon the provinces for her prosperity, and if they were ruined she must fall.---(Cheers.) The working men of En ' a•!and were men of unti r i ng energ y ; they were the prodtteeri4 of wealth, and they were • starving. Was it ever to continue so ? Would the people never learn to rely on their own energy,.und de mand to be fed themselves while they feed others?— (Cheers.) If the Government could- not relieve distress, why did it inflict it?—(Cheers.) If Sir R. Peel could not give us commerce, why did he legislate on the sub ject of commerce at all?--(Loud cheers.) The great error of our legislation was that it was too multifarious, teo multitudinous.—(Loud cheers.) The principle of commerce was simple, and the Legislature ought not to meddle with it. The aristocracy of England polluted everything it touched.—(Cheers.) The Church was the relligion of Mammett—Mammon was the god of the Church.--•-(Cheers.) The law entrapped the weak flies of deameracy, and let the strong aristocracy break through its meshes— (Loud cheers)—and commerce, too; was polluted by the touch of the aristocracy.—(Loud ..cheers.) There was a general feeling existing amOng all classes that the repeal of the Corn-laws was not the only thing to be eft'tseted, but that there must be a tho rough constitutional change in the House ot:Commons.— i - There must be a union between -the- middle acid the werking classes.—(Loud cheers.) _ The only remedy for the evils we were suffering was the rem ova l of the'eause, which was class legislation.--(Cheers.) He wmthi 110 w enter into the statistic-al details of the distress existing in Coventry. lie would commence with the poor-rates. In 1837 the amount of poor-rates collected in Coventry was 9,984/. ; in 1838 it was 9,266/. ; 1839, 9,914/. ; in 1840, 9,9821., and in 1841, 12,9761. ; show ing an increase in the amount of poor-rates, within the last twelve months, of 3,000/. The number of per sons excused from payment of the poor-rates, on ac count of poverty, amounted, in 1837, to 580 ; in 1838, to 496; in 1839, to 527; in 1840, to 587, and in 1841, to 1,000. In Coventry there were a great number of charities , which distributed thousands every year. Another rea , son why the poor-rates were not larger :night be ac counted-for by the manner in w.hich the franchise was held in Coventry. There were 4,000 persons possessed - of the franchise, and if one of them received one farthing from the .poor-rates he became disfranchised ; and so much regard had they for the right that they would rather suffer any privations than sacri fice it.—(Hear.) The debtors in the gaol, in 1838, were 23; in 1839, 28; in 1841, 90; and up to June, 1842, 67. The criminals in gaol, in 1838, were 19S ; in 1839, 276; in 1840, 358; in 1841, 291; and up to June it, 1842, 163. But the increase in crime hall been greater than was here represented, inasmuch as there was a dis pute between the parish of Coventry and thecounty, which would be settled in London on _Elidey next, several per ' sons having been taken to the county when they ought to have been taken to the 'city. A t the sessions held in 1841 there were only eight prisoners to be tried ; in 1842 there svero twenty-three. During January and February of time present year there were -11,980 loaves of' bread, weighing albs. each, and 40 tons of coal, distributed amongst the poor. These loaves cost the sm a rt' 1,3511. 14s. 9d., and were all. expended in ten distributions. To show how careful the Bread Relief Committee were, they passed this resole tion—" That in all cases iu which the average earning was 3s. for each adult above sixteen years of age, and Is. for each child, no relief shall be given, except in the case of illness and old age." Looking to the mode of' distribution, and considering the amount of voluntary subscriptions,' they would at once sec the extent of the distress, and since that time the distress had increased. No one scarcely had a better opportu pity than he had of witnessing that distress. His , situation was that of a - furniture • broker. Day after day individuals came to him, asking him to- , -purehaso their feather-beds; and exchange them for flock. In a short time time flock-beds were ex changed for straw, and at last they sold the straw-heel and lay upon the floor. - Yesterday morning before he lett 1111 Coventry, having been too late for the train, he went back, and is bile he had been away au indis ideal had called, and he • said, Mr. Taunton .1 want 10/.

You know my cha racter for industry. I have worked hard forty - years, and unless you assist Aloe I . shall have the bailiffs to-morrow, amid we must all go to the parish." This state of things frequently came under his (Mr. Tann - ton's) notice. The gaols were full, the pawnbrokers were full ; the workhouses were full, and the people's bellies were empty. . The failures which had taken place amongst the ribbon manufacturers amounted to 50,000/. Thousands of the working men were walking about the streets, with a sullenness far more awful to these in power than the mere expression of momentary revenge. —(Cheers.) This state of things was certainly sapping the very foundations of morality, and destroying all the moral principles of humanity. This was a fearful and awful state of things, and it was the duty of every man to stand up and use his utmost power to meet the exigencies of the times. The reduction in waves bad been at least 50 per cent. since 1819 in the ribbon trade. The watch trade was also in a fearful state. The wages in that trade had been reduced since 1836 at. least 25 per cent., and in some cases not one-sixteenth the amount of the wages were paid now compared with the wages of 1836. It appeared to him that the time was past for talking. The time was come to do something, and he would tell them what to do.—(Cheers.) thought they ought to proceed at once to appoint a Com mittee of Public Safety in the metropolis—(Cheers)—and induce every Delegate from the country to pour in such facts as would organize such a body of public opinion as would create time utmost odium against those in -power, and compel them to yield.
