The Delegates mot again yesterday at Twelve o'Clock, at Herbert's (late Brown's) Hotel, Palace-yard, William Shuttleworth, Esq., of Manchester, in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the absence that morning of their former Chairman, Mr. P. A. Taylor, was owing to the circumstance of his being actively engaged in pre paring for the 'afternoon meeting, which was to take place between the Delegates and the Merchants and Bankers of the Metropolis. He was happy t 3 inform them that their cause was progressing, That was evi denced by the feeling created among their legis lators, who but a short time since were in diff_yent to their meetings. He might mention as a proof of the increasing interest felt in their proceedings throughout the country, the meetings which had just been held in various towns, and especially in Liverpool, Manchester, Salford, Coventry, and Leeds. He was also happy to be able to say that M . Alderman Brooks, of Manchester, an l L. Heywoi th, Esq., of Liverpool, had returned to the metropolis to join in their deliberations ; and that Alderman Chappel, of Manchester ; Holland bole, of Salford ; the Mayor of Leeds, and other new Delegates had just arrived.—(Hear, hear.) Their pro ceedings would commence with the reading of a portion of the correspondence which poured in upon them from all parts of the kingdom. Mr. S.

We pronounce it free from flattery and bombast, succinct and masterly. * * * The t3pe and mechanical execution are admirable ; the plans of battles and sieges numer ous, ample, and useful ; the portraits of the Duke and his %lar der contemporaries many and faithful ; the battle pictures ani mated and brilliant ; and the vignettes of costumes and man ners worthy ci the military genius of Horace \re:net himself." —Times, July 16, 184'2.

The limits of a single letter are insufficient to convey an adequate representation of the intensity of distress which is prevalent in this neighbourhood. Previous to the adoption of the Pour-law Alteration Act, the overseer of this township might easily have answered and disposed of the weekly appli cants for parochial relief in two, or at most three, hours in one day; now, however, with the addition of four or five country townships of small extent, two active men might be kept ex tremely busy in attending such applications twelve hours on every day in the week. Within the preceding six weeks the number of applicants has more than doubled. The crowds of paupers who are in daily, nay nightly, mien:lance at the overseers' office is surprising to witness. I believe that I have seen a greater number of beggars and paupers last week, than if I had traversed the entire king dom of France, and more poignant anguish in their looks than if I had made a tour of Ireland I could have observed in that country. Is any improvement expected? you will natu rally ask, and 1 have asked the same question a thousand times, and of all classes of people. Only wait until the winter setsin, and finds us in this state, and you will see the consequences, is the reply,—it is mine too. The working classes owe a debt of gratitude to the members of the Anti. Corn-law League which they can never repay, andthey are beginning to perceive their obligations to y our body. It will give me great pleasure to be enabled to join you in a few days, and I am, Sir, your obedient servant. In J2mo., bound, 1,100 pages, price 10s. 6d.

Sir,—l beg to inform you that at a meeting of a few friends of our great cause, held this morning, it was decided that I should rroceed to London on Thursday next, I expect as a Deputy from the manufacturers, and perhaps the shopkeepers of Westbury. I remain, yours very truly, Mr. P. A. Taylor. NATH. OVERBURY. 'I he following is the present state of that agricultural dis trict which boasts of Sit James Graham as its principal landed proprietor : Longtovm, July 18, 1842. _ . Sir,—l am sorry to say that there i s no improvement in trade in this district—nay, that matters are getting worse, both as respects the manufacturing and agricultural labourers. The condition cf the latter is much worse than it was last year, males in many instances being glad to work at field labour at a woman's wage, 10d. per day. There is scarcely a diversity of opinion in this part of the country respecting the cause of the unprecedented distress of the country. It is ascribed with almost one voice to that iniquitous and barefacedly selfish piece of legislation, the Corn law, and other restrictions on our trade and commerce. This opinion is not. participated in by many farmers, who hesitate not to express their decided conviction, that the orn.law is as in jurious to them as to the rest of the community, and that their trade (for what is it else but a trade) will continue to be, what in fact it has hitherto been. nothing but a hazard-,us and gam bling speculation, till the Corn-law be swept from the statute book. _ _ _ _ . I can assure you, Sir, and I believe I speak the sentiments of nine-tenths of the population here, that we highly appre ciate, and feel deeply grateful for the labours of the " League " in this righteous cause. We repose implicit confidence in their wisdom, honesty, and talent, and it shall be our fervent prayer that, through their instrumentality, our suffering country may be raised to her former comfort, 'happiness, and content ; and that they may thus entitle themselves to the lasting gratitude of a long insulted, oppressed, patient, but never an ungrateful people. PROM PETER RYLAND, ESQ., WARRINGTON. Be assured we, in the country, are watching your proceed ings with the deepest interest, and the eondnct of the Deputa tion deserves success, whatever it may accomplish. Wicker Iron Works, Sheffield, Seventh Month, 19, 1842. Respected Friend, John Bright,-1 have been hoping from day to day that 1 might be set at liberty to join you in London. I ant ceneerned to find that there now seems to be little probe batty of my doing so. Not that I could have rendered you any s,rvice, but my heart is in the cause, and I would prove this by my presence among you. Much need is there for some one to work ; the clouds are fast gathering ; every day a deeper and deeper gloom settles upon us here. More men are discharged every week. The poor-rates are becoming heavier ; more houses empty ; less rent paid. Less and less employment for our mills ; less re turns for our shopkeepers; and more suffering amongst our starving unemployed workmen.. In the midst of all this discouragement, my heart was re ! , joked the last week by the noble conduct of the Earl of liadnor, who, not satisfied with that cheap pity which spends itself in idle words—not placing in contrast professions of sym pathy and deeds of no relief —most handsomely remitted to me for our distressed poor, the sum of 251. May this unsolicited evidence of real feeling be made known to the remotest corner of the empire ; and, be it remembered, that we have no connection or especial claim, beyond the com mon plea of suffering humanity, to urge on this patriotic Nobleman. Now, allow me to advert to another topic. I heard with regret some intimation that, if our appeal were not listened to, there would be nothing left but to dissolve the League, and let matters take their course. Entertain not such an idea for a moment ; the League must last as long as the Corn-law ; our principle is founded upon a rock; all laws to make food dear are impolitic, immoral, and unjust ; ar.d, so long as a law for starving the country remains on the statute book we will never hold our peace—never ! Our eyes are now opened, and work we must to put down this iniquity. It is matter of conscience as well as our interest. Let it be clearly understood that it shall be the last ques tion mooted in Parliament whilst it continues its sittings ; and if no relief be granted, the first—the incessant topic—awaiting its re-assembling. Lecturers must again carry the question undaunted into every hamlet. The provincial Press will re echo the subject in a never-dying agitation, through every large town, and " No Landlord's Tax, no Famine Prices must be our watchword. " Protection !" Surely a more bitter mockery cannot exist than a law " protecting" the people against being fed—" pro.. tecting" them against buying their sugar too cheap—" protect ting" them against having too much meat or too much coffee. No ; the " protection" is not for the many but the few, that they may put their hand into their neighbour's purse, and be protected against the consequences. Be not disheartened by any temporary failure—success is mire ; it is but a question of time. Never did I feel more per fect confidence than that this oppressive law must give way. The eyes of the country are upon you. Ignorance on this topic is yet to be found amongst honest men ; but every day of your meeting is fast dispelling it. When the news of your in terview with Sir Robert Peel arrived, a large assemblage of our workpeop:c was waiting in the streets to hear the result; and a bystander would not have inquired whether they were cart le.s spectators. But there is a fearful and hourly increasing responsibility resting on those who are keeping the country in its present alarming state. There is an infatuation in thus trifling with the comfort and actual existence of tens of thousands, which I cannot comprehend. Ruin is advancing with fearful strides. The once well-furnished houses of our artisans are being stripped of their furniture; for the condition of a pauper is features, " it is long and they will nearly famish " It is lo ng ," sa id a c l ever very galling will h as e k tfi r e e l i d isf rople, e th n e , h o a th ag er ard day, as I not i ce d hi s and wel n mended dust r industrious u clothes, cutler b tout sunkm e since I had enough to eat, but.

I could lead you to as much distress amongst the shoemakers in London as exists amongst the operatives in cotton in the country. Now, Sir, let it be remembered this is a trade in which ma chinery has never yet been brought to bear, and yet its dis tresses are as great as any trade where machinery has had pre eminent power. Mr. SIDNEY SMITH observed that under the new tariff foreign boots and shoes would be largely im ported into this country, and yet the boot and shoe makers, whose trade would be thus injured, would still be compelled to pay a high protective duty to the land owner, for whose benefit the Corn-laws were maintained. There was an instance of the justice which emanated from a landlord's Parliament. Mr. LAURENCE HEYWORTH, of Liverpool, here pro ceeded to address the meeting. He had, he said, just returned from Liverpool, where, on Monday last, a most numerous and respectable meet ing was held to take into consideration the now existing distress, and also to move resolutions expressive of their opinions as to the best means of remedy ing the evil. The meeting also had in contem plation an adoption of a memorial to her Majesty, stating the existence of the distress, and their opinion as to the remedy requisite to be adopted for its removal. He was happy to have to mention that the greatest unanimity prevailed in that large assembly as to the cause of the distress now prevalent through all parts of the kingdom, which they were convinced arose from the restrictive provision and commercial laws which cramp the energies of the industrious. He would, without any further observations, read to the meeting a document in which were forcibly put forward all the arguments that bore on the question. Mr. Heyworth then read the following document : " HOW DOES CHEAP BREAD PRODUCE HIGH WAGES AND PROMOTE GENERAL PROSPERITY? " When food is cheap, the industrious classes clothe themselves, and the increased demand in the home mar ket produces great manufacturing and commercial pros perity : more hands are required, and, to obtain th:m, higher wages are given. On the other hand, when corn is dear, the whole of the wages of the working-classes are expended in providing food for their families, and their demand for manufactures ceases : our exports are increased, and foreign markets are glutted with the very goods which should have clothed the wives and families of English workmen, and have made their homes com fortable. Ruinous forced sales of them abroad are effected, at a loss, that our mill owners may obtain re mittances, and continue to pay the operatives their weekly wages : bankruptcies follow, mills stop, opera tives are without employment, or work only half time; and, consequently, wages fall, or, what comes to the same thing, their weekly earnings are diminished. The unemployed operatives, having pawned everything, are driven, in destitution, from their cottages, which are left without tenants. No additional buildings are wanted. Masons, bricklayers, plasterers, plumbers, joiners, and painters are, therefore, thrown out of work. No new mills are erected, no machinery is required. Mechanics, foundrymen, labourers at iron works, miners and their tool makers, are also deprived of employment. Shoe makers, tailors, shopkeepers, and, lastly, bread-bakers and dairy-farmers, lose their former customers, and be come themselves victims of the all-pervading evil. A scarcity of bread and dear food sinks them, too, into the mi serable ranks of the non-producers, to augment the swelling numbers of dependent, pauperised consumers. This universal distress, experienced in every trade when the supply of so necessary an article as bread (being scarce) is monopolised by the law-making landoeracy, is strikingly illustrated by the ill-favoured kine in Pharoali's dream, which eat up all the fat and well-favoured. " Indeed, it is an invariable rule, that, if the parties producing any article of common consumption have po litical power to limit, by lay la, the supply of that article, they will raise its price in the market to the extent of their wicked privilege, which will diminish the *con sumption of other things in proportion, and, therefore, will contract and depress every other trade, as experi ence shows the Corn-laws have done. If to protect ma nufacturers in the maintenance of high prices for their goods, misguided legislation should have interfered to prevent the development of the mighty,mechanical in -1 ventions which, by the peculiar blessing of God on this I country, commenced seventy years ago to pour forth cheap manufactures to clothe the naked of every land ; to provide an inexhaustible source of employ ment for labour, and to diffuse wealth amongst all classes throughout the empire, with unheard of profusion ; and if to arrest this influx of cheap clothing, Parliament should have prohibited by law the use of machinery, the scarcity and dearness of cotton, woollen and linen goods consequent thereon, would not only have kept down the consumption of these fabrics to the lowest point, but the costliness of the ne cessary garments made of them would have withdrawn the means of consuming all other commodities and pro ductions, to an extent that would have kept in a state of the deqest depression all other trades and employ ments, agricultural included ; labour would have be come a drug, wages would have been reduced almost to nothing, and England, instead of being, as she is row, the wealthiest nation on the earth, would have remained sunk in poverty, the merited victim of her wicked and foolish legislative policy. Hence it is that, yielding to this infallible rule, a high price of food according to its scarcity, devised and maintained by Act of Parliament, has gradually produced a universal and constantly in creasing stagnation in every trade, during the last four years. Whilst in 1835, for instance, when wheat was at less than 40s. per quarter, we had a period of great manufacturing and commercial prosperity, with good wages, for the simple ream, that besides everybody having plenty of food, upwards of 15,000,0001. were saved to the labouring classes on wheat alone, which, being spent in manufactures ' increased the demand for labour and raised wages. During the recent period of high prices for food, great has been the distress of the manufacturing districts, and all over the kingdom in all those trades whose tens of thousands mainly depend fur employment on the ability of the working classes to be their customers ; in which the capitalists have also largely shared by a considerable decline, nay almost a destruction of profits, and even, in many instances, of capital also, of which, alas ! the present universal low wages, or diminished weekly earnings, want of employ ment, and destitution of the labourers throughout the country are, necessarily,. the consequence. The repeal of the Corn-laws would secure a steady supply of cheap food in exchange for our manufactures, by which we should perform a Christian duty in ministering to the wants of foreign nations, and clothing their naked out of our superabundance of manufactures, and we should receive in return, out of their superabundance, cheap food for the thousands who are slow famishing with hunger ; and God's command, " to do unto others as we would they should do unto us," would, through the pro cess of this beneficent interchange, be obeyed. His blessing would follow, the national distress would be re moved, the'peesperity of trade would be restored, by the people having it again in their power to become general consumers of all other articles, and the competition of employers for labourers would raise wages and give constant employment to all classes of labourers, for the effect of revived commerce would soon reach the agri cultural labourer, and the higher wages obtained in trades and manufactories would, as a matter of course, raise wages in the farming districts, as it always has done. In conclusion, let the inquiry be made, what is the element which substantially represents the wealth of the moneyed interest in the kingdom. Is it the precious metals, which in the currency amount to ab0ut22,000,000/. which represents this enormous wealth ? Is:it the con gregated masses of buildings in the metropolis, or the soil of these islands ? No ! it is the power of the industrious masses, by the aid of machinery, to produce, in almost miraculous abundance, all the useful commo dities of life, combined with the essential requisite that they have the ability also to be the general consumers of them. If these powers be paralyzed, the wealth of the moneyed interest will dissolve away and depart from its possessors, as surely as the shadow follows the substance. Workmen of England, Merchants, Manufacturers, Bankers, and Landowners ! meditate seriously on these things. The deep-felt and wide-spread misery brought upon all by the Corn and Provision-laws demonstrate their selfish and sordid origin and denounce their iniquity. As Christians, who ask Uod to give daily bread to all, humanity calls upon you to express, on all occasions, your utter abhorrence of these and all laws whose object is designedly to create scarcity. As sincere, religions men, who pray that " His will may be done on earth as it is in heaven," consistency requires that you should put forth unceasingly your combined efforts to obtain, by every lawful means, the total and immediate abolition of all laws which interdict men from ministering to each other's wants and necessities, out of their relative super abundance. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH. He had thus endeavoured to place before the meeting the whole cycle of reasoning on this important subject, and he hoped the arguments when placed before the public would have the effect they wished for. If they could be refuted he was open to conviction, if not, then let the truth prevail; this was all he wished with regard to the question. He might state that in his journey up from Liverpool, he met a gentleman of large landed pro perty in Kent, who was a firm supporter of the present Corn-laws, and, during a conversation on the subject, he placed the present document in his hands, and lie allowed that it had considerably ,changed his opinions ; that he was convinced there must be some :lane, and that he was ready to concede that that change must be an abolition of the Corn-laws, or the wealth of the king dciu would (I:Tart Rani it. Tic was in hopes that a :iiadiar cauvktiou w,ailLi eci - ,Y.: home: both to the ',ilium facturing and landed interests, on the impolicy of all re strictions on the importation of any commodity, but more especially on such a vital commodity as corn. To make such, restrictions was to legislate for the purpose of making the kingdom yoorcr, for they had the same effect as an hostile army preventing the entrance of pro visions into a beleagured city. Their direct operation was necessarily to impoverish the kingdom ; let them only look at the question in this broad light, and surely they would come to the conviction that of ail madness, that of legislating on such principles was the most ab surd and ridiculous. There was a Constant wtiste and consumption of the commodities of a country, and to prevent the importation of them was to produce a state of things under which the nation must become poorer and poorer. Mr. HOLLAND HOOLE (Boroughreeve of the town of Salford) then addressed the meeting. He said he had been sent up for the special purpose of accompanying other gentlemen to a meeting of merchants in the City, which would be granted to them that day. He was a large manufacturer, or at least he ought to be one, but he was sorry to say that at present his works were stopped. He would ask them under what conditions could a man occupy premises, and employ 700 or SOO men, when he could not even realise the expenses of his establishment, and pay the chief rent and local taxes of the place he occupied ? Such was the fact at pre sent, and perhaps he was singularly fortunate in being able to stop his works without the total destruction of his trade, which must be the case with the majority of persons engaged in the same business, in cotton-spinning. He looked forward to the winter with great apprehension, not only on account of the great in , crease of misery it must produce amongst the people, but fur the strong probability that outbreaks would oc cur, which would extend themselves over all the manu facturing districts. He believed that the exertions of the League had contributed much to the preservation of the peace of' the country, as well as to advance the cause ; and the people were still waiting with some expectation of benefit as to the result. It mattered not by what Mi nistry these changes were effected, but he felt morally certain there was no other prospect before them butruin if some great and important change were not made in their commercial system. By his office in the town of Salford, he was enabled to make observations of the state of the people better than many other persons, and he could assure the meeting that their condition was frightful. [A short conversation ensued, during which Mr. Hoole stated, that he had abandoned all idea of re newing his working till some great change had taken place.] The CHAIRMAN announced the receipt of two sums of 101., and IL, from " A Friend of the Cause," and " A.B.C."—(Applause.) Mr. Alderman CHAPPEL, in referring to the statement of Sir R. Peel, respecting machinery, detailed an inter view he had with the Right Hon. Baronet at the Home office in 1835, when some disturbances were apprehended in the manufacturing districts, on which occasion Sir Robert Peel declared, with great feeling, that " machinery should and would be protected." How different was that language from the language lately held by Sir R. Peel—language which seemed to show that he wished to cater to the vicious taste of those who were anxious to throw the odium of the present awful distress upon the improvements which had been effected in our machinery. He had lived in Manchester for the last .50 years, and he had been in business there for the last 40 years, so that he must know something of the state of trade in that town. The branch of business to which he had served his apprenticeship, and which he since carried on, was the manufacture of fustian, which was one of the staple manufactures of Manchester. Between the profits made in that trade in days long gone-by and the present time, no comparison could be made. At the period when he had entered upon business, the profit upon the best quality of fustains was Is. a-yard, the profit upon those of the second quality was 10(1. a-yard, and the profit upon those of the third quality was Bd. a-yard. But a mighty change had since taken place, and the profits were now but is. upon the piece. Their goods had formerly been manufactured by band-work ; but they had for some time employed the power-loom. His own machinery had cost him neatly 33.0001., but he did not believe it would now sell for 8,0001. A party in his neighbourhood, who had lately become a bankrupt, had a mill, the the machinery of which had cost 40,000/. That machinery had been valued about a year and a half ago at 22,000/.; but it was sold the other day, and did not quite realize 7,000 i. Another party, who had also become a bankrupt,. had a mill filled with excellent machinery, which ten years ago had cost 6,0001., it was sold the oilier day for 1,5001. He had lately had a communication with the Manager of - a Joint-Stock Bank, who gave it as his de cided opinion, and in that opinion he himself entirely coincided, that if the manufacturers and mill-owners of the country were to sell their mills, machinery, and stock at as a high price as possible, there was not one in five of them who would be solvent.. He had himself been always decidedly opposed to the practice of reducing wages. He considered that practice attended with two great evils ; first, it deprived the working man of the means of purchasing goods ; and, in the second place, it knocked down the value of all the stock the manufacturer had en hand. No sooner was a• redaction made in wages than it became known to pur chasers, who insisted on a corresponding diminution in the price of goods. lie had himself taken, in the year 1840, a large amount of stock at a reduced price, expect ing to make a profit, but he had subsequently sold it at a loss. The last time he had taken stock, namely, at Christmas last, he had hoped that trade would revive, and that he would make a large profit ; but he found he had been greatly deceived, and he had sold it at It loss of from V; to 10 per cent. He had of late reduced his hands by one-half, and he should have stopped his mills altogether were it not that he had a considerable number of workmen living in his cottages, for whom he wished to find some employment. He was a Director of the Birmingham and Manchester Railway Company. At the time they were, about to open the line to Crewe ; they wanted about sixty clerks, porters, and watchmen, and for those situations they had upwards of 1,200 applicants, independent of private applications to individual Directors. Those applicants were in general men of good character, and of the con ' ditiou to which they were reduced some opinion might be formed from the fact of their having made those ap plications. He had been informed by a friend of his engaged in the distribution of soup tickets to the dis tressed operatives, that on Monday morning the crowd of applicants was unparalleled, and some of them had come to the door to wait for relief on the preceding Sunday night. He could state as a fact, that some of the ministers had lately visited a family of eight in number, all grown up, who had but one bed and one room, and that one room a cellar. Now, he had no hesitation in saying that such a state of things must affect even the murals of our population. Young people of various classes could not thus be mingled together without danger to their moral character ; and for his part, he was persuaded that twenty years of prosperity could not repair the injury done to the character of our people by the distress of the last few years. He was himselt con nected with a Sunday-school, and though the expenses attend'ng it were very limited, the contributions for its support had so diminished that he was afraid it could not continue to be carried on. The late annual collec tion had not realized one half the usual amount. Again they had a dispensary and a penitentiary which_ were nearly brought to a stand for want of funds.—(llear, hear.) Altogether the town was in a most de plorable state. It would move the hardest heart to see the number of persons once in respectable circumstances now depending on precarious and charit able relief. He begged to state, as another indication of the general decline of the trade in Manchester, that he had learned that morning that a mill adjoining his own, which employed seven or eight hundred hands, had stopped. He had himself a few thcusands pounds left ; when that was done he must stop working his mills, and those he now employed must go out of employ ; for the goods they now sold were not enough to pay wages. lie was sure nothing but the pressure from without would force the Legislature to attend to their complaints. —(Loud cheers.) He was the last person in the world who would wish to excite people to break the law, but from what he knew of the situation of the country, and of the trade of the country, he feared the worst. I:very market was glutted, Mr. Smith, from Canada, had been with bins recently, and had bought forty pieces of goods. He ought to have bought four hundred or five hawked. That gentleman had told him that he could buy goods 10 per cent lower in Canada than he could in England. Another person who used to take a great quantity of ,goods, now desired that none might be sent out, because he could buy them lower than they could be sent out. If' Sir Robert Peel judges of the prosperity of the country by the amount of exports, his judgment must be a most erroneous one.—(Cheers.) On many of the goods sent out, the manufacturer would never get 15s. in the pound back again. Every piece of goods which left this country without leaving a profit behind it, took part of our soil aw ay, and if that state of things continued the country must ultimately go.—(Cheers.) Mr. FINCH, in addition to his statements re specting iron made yesterday, stated that in the Staf fordshire district there were 150 blast furnaces, of these only 74 were now in blast. These furnaces em ployed from 150 to 200 persons each, so that from 12,000 to 15,000 persons were thrown out of employ in consequence. Many of the iron mills in Staffordshire were only in work three days a week. As an illustra tion of the complete prostration of the iron trade, be would just state that in 1833 he was selling bar iron at 11/. per ton, and this week the price was 5 guineas. A gentleman who had had great experience as an exporter of iron, had told him that lie could not upon a single part of the globe where he could sell iron at a profit. intended to put his finger H t A O lß a m tt A en N d h a a‘ m 'ill e g eti a n n t; and dealers at the London Tavern, the Conleicm.a, - of oun t c h el h o a n t d slle merchantsi.),ela,t d e s journed until to-day at eleven. A letter from Cologne, July 10, in the German ! Lurnal cif Frankfort, states tha t the onl y to p ic of con versation in that city was a duel which had taken place between an officer and a Catholic priest. The former was wounded in the head. tress of the working classes—in filet, the necessity of the case, was the only apology he had to offer on the part or himself and brother _Delegates for calling the merchants of London together on the present occasion. Lie assured them there never was brought before the pubLe a question ‘which had less material in it for party to work upon than the present. Ile disclaimed, then, party fcei• ings having anything to do with the present movement. No doubt they had all heard of the distress existing ire the country, but all that had come to their knowleAge from discussions of the subject, both in and out of Parliament—all that had been said by the Anti-Corn-law Delegates—all that had beets written in the newspapers on the subject of the distress of the country—fell far short of the real state of matters. The sufferings of the people were not confined to the cotton and woollen manafacturing districts—they extended also to the two manufacturing districts of Shef field and Birmingham, and to ,the mining districts. There was no property in Lancashire and Yorkshire invested in machinery for cotton ana woollen manul'ac tures which had not fallen one-half or two-thirds of what would he its real intrinsic value its times of ordi nary prosperity. That was the effect of the depression which trade had sustained for the last four piars. Parties engaged in trade hid on their hands numerous stocks which had continued falling in value, and wouhi so con tinue, unless a decided check was given to that' down ward progress, and which they w..tuld never he tetito to dispose of even at great sacrifices, while the cause of de preciation continued in operation. Year after year pa party was wasting away. The weakest were daiV giving way, and those who, from the possession of large capitals, were able now to bear up, would be shortly overwhelmed by the tide of distress. The counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire contained a population equal'. to one-ninth of that of the hole United Kingdom. Lancashire alone had a population exceeding that of six teen other counties of England, and, at this moment, one-half of that population were in a state bordering on starvation, in consequence of the depression of trade. A large proportion of the inhabitants of those counties was in a state of utter destitution. It was impossible that this state of things could long continue without the mer chants of this great city, whose customers the manufac turers were, feeling the effect of the universal paralysis under which trade and commerce were suffering. The. public peace of the country was endangered by such a state of matters. So strong was the conviction of think ing men on this matter that several Magistrates in the north of England had determined to resign their offiws rather than have to say, during the ensuing winter, in their official capacity, to Government that they disre garded the famishing cries of their starving countrymen,. and that they would act in *accordance with such dis regard. • Mr. CIIAPPEL, of Manchester, said that he had been. 50 years connected with manufactures. He was satis fied that a mill and machinery, which cost 34,000 L, would not now realize 8,0001., in consequence of the de ' pression of trade. Another mill in his neighbourhotd, on which the owners, who had since become embar rassed, had spent 40,0001., had been lately valued by IS broker at 22,0001, to an incoming tenant. No tenant. however, could be obtained, and the property was sold by the Sheriff for 7,0001. Another mid and machinery., which were sold by the assignees of the property, which had been working for . ten years, and were in very good condition, sold for 1,500/. ; this was only a fortnight ago. From these facts, they might judge what property in mills and machinery was worth. A gentleman who ed told him in w s e i that they possibly cpahihis hands, simply ssi, i p t . seniaono(tioiEtitfipt.l their leio)trisAanllnielafesntalttegmci two mills had found solvent. He Chr ould istmas, a u e ee s n srp,ng oeri wouldnl dBai- depended e , i f fei he took opinion, that if the ilies tirely upon him for took his stock, and sold it at a loss of from 5 to 7, 1 ,- per cent. Last Christmas lie again took stock, and he was at present not selling it, but offering it at a loss of from 7:t to 10 per cent. At present the calculation was, which would cause the greatest loss, carrying on business or stopping the mills altogether. He was occupying an establishment of his own, he lived in a district that was extra,-parochial, and had not to pay rent or local taxes, yet with all these advantages he could not continue working without a loss. The distress of 1825 was nothing to the present ; that was merely a panic, and when confidence was restored they soon regained their former prosperity. Bat at present there was not a mar ket of the world which was not -glutted and overstocked with their produce. He had been assured by a gentle man from Canada, that he could purchase English gOods in Canada cheaper than he Could here. He would now offer a few words as to the effect of this state of things on the morals of the population. There were thousands and tens of thousands of people out of employ—thousands of young men and women who were turned adrift in the world— and what must be the consequence ? He had been a superintendent of their Sunday Schools for live-and twenty years, and for the last two years the subscribers had been filling off, and thel o were now a quarter in arrear with their rent, thougnhe expense of educating the children was - only 4W. per head, per annum, because they got their Bibles and Testaments from that noble So ciety—the Bible Society. He was likewise connected with the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, and the Direc tors had received 1400 applications for situations on the Railway, as porters; policemen, and messengers, besides the applications thitt were made to the L)irecters in private. He had Ijeen assured by a minister that one family had but one ',bed in one room, and that room a cellar. Such was the desire to obtain work, that to get the warps which were distributed on Monday mornings, numbers of persons were to be found assembling during the Sunday night. He would give them no more state ments ; he thought he had said enough. The speaker sat down evidently much affected by the distressing nature of the details he had given. Mr. HENRY ASHWORTH (a Magistrate of Bolton) then addressed the meeting. He said it was an extraordinary sight that they should see men of business from the North of England assembled here to tell their tales of woe, and to speak of the losses and privations they were undergoing. He, himself, felt, humiliated by it, but yet he believed he could not have remained com fortably at home had he avoided availing himself of such an opportunity as this, to convey to them hat was the present suffering condition of the people among whom he dwelt. But, in order that they might more tho roughly understand what was the present condition of the people of Lancashire, he would draw their attention to a few observations relating to the past history of that. county. The busy part of the county of Lancashire was mostly comprised in the Hundred of Salford, and this portion of the county was formerly a waste, a desert, a morass in which William the Conqueror was nearly fastened, and found himself unable to proceed in a journey from York to Chester. From that period till the time of Camden, who surveyed the county in 1607, there was scarcely any record existing of what was its state. Camden, more than 200 years ago, when he had sur veyed the county of York, moralised telore he attempted to enter the county of Lancashire. He described it as lying toward the western ocean, barbarous, and hardly civilised. With respect to the people, he approached them with some kind of dread, and hoped it might bode no ill ; but that he might not seem wanting to this county, he would rim the hazard of the attempt, and he hoped that the Divine assistance, which had hitherto ravoured him, would not desert him in this. In his survey he describes Rochdale as "a market town of no small .resort ;" Bury, as another, "in no way inferior to it;" Manchester is described as surpassing all the towns hereabout in its buildings, its populousness, its woollen manufactures, its market-Place, and church ". Liverpool is merely mentioned under the name of " Litherpoole," as one of the "most convenient of the places for setting sail into Ireland." Preston is called a " large town, handsoMe and populous for these parts:* Blackburne was merely mentioned ; but Ashton, Bolton, Oldham, Salford, and many other places, now contain ing from ten to fifty thousand inhabitants, were not even mentioned, existing as they did, if at all, merely as obscure and insignificant villages. He quoted these remarks that they might have some idea of the progress Lancashire had made in the period of 200 years ; a progress due to the industry and in domitable energies of its people. At the present time those manufactures found a g enial soil. Chemistry and mechanics had been applied to manufactures with an intelligence previously unknown. Liverpool, which two• centuries ago was a small fishing station, was now one of the largest commercial ports of the world. In the time of Camden the rental of Lancashire was valued at 57,0001. a year ; it was rated during the last year at 6.200,000/. or an increase of 6,300 per cent.—(Hear_ hear, hear.) In the Hundred of Salford, the: increase had been upwards of 10,000 per cent.. This was the improved value given to the land by the increase of the manufactures of the country.

This co uld not have happened withou t producing some c l leffect on the people.

In addition to that, those classes which contributed to the poor -rates were also suffering to a very great extent. Shopkeepers, Id •a. parties in that class of life, were daily and constantly failing ; and those which had been rate payers were falling off in consequences of houses and workshops becoming uninhabited, and property yielding nothing ; so that the rates, which stook at 84,0001., a Year on the books, did not yield on t h e collection more TEAST INDIA HOUSE, JULY 20, 1842. • RE k.OUlt`t of DIRECTORS of the EAST ;, „, INDIA COMPANY do hereby give notice, ''fit That the SPECIAL GENERAL COURT of the EAST i.,dli.2q)lA COMPANY, appointed to be held at their House , :,.j..eadenh a ll- s t reet , on FILIDAY i the 29th inst., at Eleven 4tatFock in the f orenoon , is FURTHER MADE SPECIAL , 4)., complian ce with the following requisition from nine Pro '• % • Z 1.
