The Herald of this morning, in an article denunciatory of Mr. Sergvant MURPHY'S motion for repealing so much of the old municipal law• of Ireland as regulates the tem poralities of the Established Church of that country, ,ibservei with more than Grandame prudence and saga : The Church of Ireland has alr , ady suffered too much in its emvoralities ; and any further appropriation or deprivation of its revenues, whether propos•?d by Governmest or the Opposi tion, must be resolutely opposed by all who desire to ensure the continuance of the Establishment either in England or Ireland. The formdation then of the Established Church of England and Ireland is money—is the Mammon of Ini quity. Only destroy the temporalities of the Church, admits the pious and venerable Herald, and the spiri tutlities all disappear. The ten persecutions of the Christians under the Roman Emperors assisted so much towards the propagation of the faith, that it passed into a proverb among the early Fathers that the " blood of the martyrs was the seed of the Church." Had these wicked Emperors, according to the reasoning of the Herald, instead of cutting off the heads of Chris tian ecclesiastics or casting them alive into amphi thieatres to be devoured by wild beasts, only con trived to take away their stipends, the Christian religion would have long since disappeared from the world. Cease to tax the Roman Catholics of Ireland for the maintenance of the Protestant Church, and from that moment, quoth the Herald, it ceases to exist. The entire staff of the Ritablishment, consisting of arch sh ups, Lishc.ps, deans, rectors, curates, chaunters, clerks, pew-openers, and grave-diggers, dies of inanition the instant it is left to subsist on the charities of pure Peotostants. No penny, no paternoster. But the worst of the business is the pa,terAoster must be paid for by the person for whom it is not offered as a prayer but as a Now we protest entirely against this doctrine. We contend that the burdens imposed upon the Irish Catho lics far the maintenance of the Protestant Church have destroyed the influence of that Church in Ireland. No thing can prosper long which has dishonesty for its basis. Now the Protestant Church in Ireland was founded in fraud, in violence, in oppression, and in open and avowed robbery. It has not prospered, and it never can prover while this system continues. Bishops, indeed, may fatten, and rectors grow rosy in the gills, but there will be no increase of the flock. The State shepherds moy pipe it merrily, but their starveling herds will dis 'Dery in search of other pastures and pen-folds. If it b,. 0. 1 1 more importance that there should be a r:ch plies! hood than a believing people, then the Irish Established Church, as it now exists, ought by ail means to be supported, but not otherwise. Were it left wholly to us to adopt measures for extenling till reformed faith in Ireland, we would begin with ab.dishing all compulsory payments by Ito man Catholics; Presbyterians, Quakers, and other Dis senters, towards the support of any religion in whose tenets they (lid not believe. We would arm the minis ters of the Christian religion with the Gospel instead of with a dragooning, robbery-enforcing Act of Parlia ment, and send them forth as missionaries of peace, and love, and charity towards all, instead of, as vampires, to feed upon the corpse of the Church of Rome. uhf the evil complained of by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY last night, is one so recently created that even precedent cannot be pleaded for its continuance. B e fore the passing of the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, the Irish corporations were composed entirely of Protestants, and they imposed what charges they pleased upon the inhabitants of corporate towns to maintain the Cturch. This was perfectly justifiable, when the Act of 1675, which gave them that power, was passed. The Catholics were then excluded from residence in cm•porate towns, se that the imp ,, st was levied upon Protestants. Gradually the penal statutes fell more or less into desuetude. The Cathohos clustered round the outskirts of the towns, gyadually gained a footing within them, and now form the majority of the inhabitants. They, therefore, naturally ask the House of Commons to protect them against the injurious operation of a law 'which the framers never contemplated would affect them, axd immediately a shout is raised of the •' Church in danger." What surprisingly thick skulls those men must have who scribble Church articles for Tory journals. In the course of last night's important debate on Mr. B n a tE e.4AN's motion, Mr. WALLACE, after telling the mi n i s t r y eltly that want of confidence in their caring for a famishing people Was an additional reason for his suppertir , the motion, read some useful p a p ers t o th e „e . House. One or these showed that it was by no means uncommon to apply public mon:y to . execute great n a ti ona l works, which, in fact, was employog those out of work in a legitimate manner from the public purse. H e showed that with road-making, forming harbours, canals docks, bridges, and a great many other'things, and, among ether less worthy purposes, the building of churches, where probably none were required, that np- • wards of pine millions of money had been expended, and that six or seven millions more had been lent on Exchequer for similar purposes. And the Hon. Member con ended that there never was a time when grants of public money would be so thankfully received and so well applied as now, for the execution of usefit national improvemonts in any part of the empire. He then quoted the fidlolving from a speech of " the Heaven born Minister," Mr. Pim It was on his seeing a Deputatioe from Bolton respecting a law about wages ; that ME. PITT said, "Bat this law won't protect you from being again visited by distress; whenever that shall bappen., apply - to P arliaexent. If Parliament is not sitting, it. must bo eorivened ; if it cannot give you relief; its function are ar to end. Tell not me that Parliament is tumble. Parliament is omnipotent to protect." "So I say," said Mr. WALLACE. Parliament is able to protect, and must be made wilily - 1 ; 7. The lion. M em b er concluded his very animated, through short, speech, by declaring his willingness to bri; 7g - oft the rep ea l of the present Corn-law i n th e p res era session, and to join in any iwasure, even i n th a t of stopping the s upp li es, unless Ministers sh ou ld ma k e lit explicit decl arat i on in the to the measure mailer eon- House that they wou ld re of sideration, or eibers, ratkr 4 lan allow the famishing mu_ lioni to die, than derived Nothing can be more insulting to the Christian Powers than the pertinacity with which the Porte con tlnues to keep a force of from three to five thousand Arnauts in Syria. This horde of ruffians is guilty of the most brutal excesses, especially towards the Chris tians, for whom they entertain the most violent hatred. A circumstance recently took place ;which brought even the commander of this brigand force to his senses. An officer belonging to the French corvette La Surprise was beaten in the streets of Beyrout by an . Arnaut soldier. The Commandant demanded the public punishment of the ruffian, but Musraemt. PACIIA equivocated, and endeavoured to screen the offender. The gallant Frenchman at once cleared his vessel for action, and threatened unless the punishment was publicly inflicted within one hour, to burn the Arnaut camp. 'ibis had the desired effect. The fellow was publicly has tinadoed in the presence of the French officers, and all the civil and military authorities of Beyrout, and an humble apology tendered in person by the Commander of the Arnauts to the Captain of the corvette. Were such a course always taken by the Christian Powers, th ere would be less to fear from the fanaticism of the Turks. We have received Madrid Journals of the 29th ult. The Madrid Gazette states that 30,000,000 reals only (.f the loan of 1,600,000 having been adjudicated at twelve percent. discount on the 27th, other offers should be re ceived at the Treasury for the 10,000,000 remaining on the 30th. A Cadiz Journal announces that the plague, or what is more properly called the bubo dis temper, had manifested itself in Portugal. The proceedings of the Election Committees engross all the attention of the French press. We begin to fear. from the fury displaYed by the majority of the candidates, that the Ministry has but a poor chance of commanding a majority in the new Chambers. The more violently M. GuizoT is attacked by the different candidates, the more popular they appear to be. _ _ The French Government very foolishly meddles with with many things, which it were wise to let alone. Thus, on Tuesday, as a number of citizens and National Guards of Paris, belonging to the 12th Legion, assembled to render the last honours to one of their comrades, AL BON Y, a physician, a speech delivered over his tomb was interrupted by a Commissary of Police. On leaving the cemetery some National Guards were insulted by sub altern agents of that functionary, and an officer and several persons who had interfered were arrested. The Moniteur announces in its official part the receipt of answers from the Kings of Naples and Greece, to the notifica tion of the birth of the Count d'Eu. Yesterday at half-past twelve o'clock there was a Council of Ministers at the Tuileries, at which the King presided. The Council sat till half-past two o'clock. After the Council the King visited the works which are in progress for repairi❑g the chapel anti the theatre of the Tuilieries. The King set out on his return to Neuilly, at half-pact five. We have received the Moniteur Algerien of the 25th of June. By a decree of the Governor-General, dated the 24th, M.

THE SENTIMENT OF BUSINESS.—At Union-hall yes terday, a Mrs. Stirling was brought before Mr. Trail, charged with attempting to commit suicide. It seems that yesterday morning she hired a wherry on the Surrey side of the Thames, and while the waterman was rowing her across the river, she suddenly threw her legs over the gunwale, exclaiming, " I'll jump overboard," whereupon the man replied, " I'ray don't do such a thing as that, ma'am, or you'll get me into trouble ; besides losing ray time at the inqueAt !" The prompt attention to the interests of Num. her One evinced in this reply, is admirably characteristic of the man of business. True, the waterman intreats the lady not to drown herself ; but why ? Because he himself may be put to personal inconvenience, and pro bably be out of pocket by her suicide ! These are the considerations that weigh most with the aquatic philan thropist. Here the shoe pinches. Self takes the alarm— the interests of the pocket are in peril. Hence the wa terman's supplications ! If the lady would but throw her se.f out of any other boat ; or if she would only assure him that he should not be summoned to attend the inquest, and thereby run the chance of losing a fare, then he would be the last person on earth to thwart her wishes ; but a plunge head foremost into the water from his own wherry, without any such assurance, is not to be thought of: Under such circumstances suicide becomes quite unjustifiable, and accordingly the tender-hearted creature enters his most strenuous protest against it. A parallel case to the above may be found in the following advertisement, which was inserted in the daily papers some two years since :—" If the young gentleman who left his home last Friday, will not return to his distracted parents, he is at l ast requested to send back the key of the tea caddy !"

(THIS DAY.) DARING'ROBBERY.—Thomas Biggs, an urchin between nine and ten years of age, was committed to Newgate for trial, charged with the following impudent and daring robbery : About half-past eight o'clock this morning the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Robert Allen, of No. 20, Dean-street, Gros venor-square, tobacconist, and asked for a quarter of an ounce of tobacco, and while being served he suddenly made a dash at a pile ofcigars lying on the counter, and grabbing up his two hands full, run out of the shop. lie was, however, pursued and overtaken. On searching him Is. sd. were found in his pockets. He was identified as hav:ng been previously in cus tody on a similar charge. NUISANCES AT THE ITALIN OPERA.—Five powei fel and stalwart young men, ragged and shoeless, were charged as fol lows : Police-sergeant, No. 24 of the A division, stated that the prisoners were part of a gang of between 30 and 40, who in .ested the Opera on the nights of performance. and under pre tence of bting linkraen" or ••cz.ach•callers," took th e op portunity that r ffered either of stealing anything that might be left in the carriages, or of soliciting charity, without which, when they got two or three ladies by themselves, they refused to quit the carriage -door. A few evenings since one of the prisoners, in rushing along the Colonnade, ran against Lae.) , Coventry, arid knocked her Ladyship down with very considerable violence ; however, fortunately, but slight injury was sustained. On the prisoner being spoken to about it, he made answer, " How the h--11 could I help it ? Her Ladyship atould stand out of the way and let a poor man get his living." They had all heed repeatedly cautioned to keep away. A set of persons 's ith badges were ap pointed by the proprietors of the Opera to art as " linkmen." Mr. HAnnwicK said that Le knew the nuisance was a very intolerable one and must be put down, arid he should therefore commit each of the prisoner's for one month to hard labour. SURREY TIIEATRE.—The opera of Fra Diarolo was produced at this theatre last night, with the most tri umphant success ; indeed it could not he otherwise from the east of the different characters, great care having been taken by the management that every character should be sustained in the most perfect manner. The reception which the opera le calved from a crowded house fully proves that the public are alive to, and capable of appreciat►ng worth, both as regards actors and management. The opera was in every respect wed got up ; the scenery was perfect ; and when we say that the principal parts were sustained by Miss Romer, Mrs.. Seat le, the otessrs. Harrison, Stansbury, and-Leffler (of whose excellence the public are perfectly aware), we need scarcely say that the opera was everything that could be wished tor. The parts •f Lord Allcash and Lorenzo were played by the Messrs. John Webster and Walton very respectably. ALARMING FlRE.—Last night, between ten and Leven o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Corde roy, a large wool-stapler, in the Bermondsey New-road. The fire originated in a portion of the building used as a dryii,g room. By the speedy arrival of the engines the fire was fortu nately confined to the room, which was almost entirely con sumed. The fire is supposed to have originated by the heating of a stove. The damage done is considerable. DEATII FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.---On Tues day last an inquest was held before Mr. Hudson, Coroner, at he Clarendon Arms, Hyde, Cheshire, on view of the body of Thomas Will ms, aged 4b, by trade a cotton-spinner, whose death resulted from the following circumstances:—On Sun day eveninz deceased fret with a person named Enoch Knowles, when it was agreed that he should furnish deceased with as much liquor, and of what sort he chose, as he could drink between the hours of eight and t welve, for a shilling. The) adjourned to the above public-house, when deceased called for a pint of rum, which being supplied, he took hold of the jug containing it, to drink it up; but was prevented by Knowles, who gave him a glass of the liquor, and having sup plied two friends each with a glassful, the deceased took hold ol the jug, and before he was observed had drunk the whole of the remaining portion of the rum. He shortly afterwards be came insensible, and although every attention was paid him b) a surgeon %silo was called to his assistance, be expired early the following morning, from congestion of the brain, produced h) drinking so excessive a quantity of rum. A verdict to that effect was returned. Enoch Knowles was taken into custody to await the result of the inquest.; butgas liberated at its close, the jury being of opinion that it did not amount to a case of manslaughter. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—A fire broke out this morn ing, at a quarter before two o'clock, in the manufactory of Mr. Jared Town, chocolate and chicory maker, George-street. Spitalfields and a considerable quantity of stock destroyed. though speedy assistance was rendered. Air. Town, it is be lieved, is un i nsure d. A not h er fire also b ro k e out shortly after hree o'clock this morning in Wbitechapel, near the church in the cellar of a sugar-house, bat did not extend beyond t h e burning of a quantity of straw. BRUSSELS, J uttr 6.--The average price of wheat last week was 24f. 14c., and that of Rye 13f. 10c. The average pr►re of wheat having been fur two successive week, on a scale of 24f., and above, per hectolitre. The exportation of u h , at is prohibited, and the importation duty free. The import duty on Rye is 21f. 50c. per 1,000 kilogrammes, and the export duty 21 centimes per 1,000 kilogrammes. The reigning Prince of Sake Coburg travelled from Leige to Ostend, by a special train, the day before yesterday. His Highness is going to England.—Moniteur Beige. His Highness the Hereditary Prince Ernest of Saxe Coburg, nephew of the King of the Belgians, and his m.nsort, arrived at Ostend yesterday afternoon, f►om Leige. Apartments were prepared for them at the residence of M. Vulcke-Deknurgt, Consul of the Netherlands, where their Highnesses alighted. Yesterday afternoon, at a quarter past four, when the , last train left Ostend for ;Brussels, their Majesties the King and Queen had not arrived on their return from London. They are, however, expected to arrive this afternoon by the Widgeon, which will convey Prince and Princess Ernest to London. Lord Ponsonby, late Ambassador of her Britainnic Majesty at Constantinople, and who was English Minister at Belgium at the commencement of our Revolution, arrived at Brussels yes terday evening. His Lordship has come from Constantinople by way of Italy and Germany. TIM SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY ETEN'ING, JULY 8, 1842: THE ANTI-CURN-L AN CONFERENCE, (THIS DAY.) The Delegates met again this mot - nine., at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, at eleven o'clock, Mr. P. A. Taylor in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that, in opening the Conference that morning, he should commence by reading some cor respondence which had been received by the Committer since the meeting of yesterday. The Delegates were aware that an appli cat i on had been made to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex to receive a deputation - 'rein the Conference, for the purpose of representing t, him the state of the country, and their views upon the subject. To that application the following answer had been received this morning : Mr. White is commanded by the Duke of Sussex to say that his Royal Highness will be happy to receive any two of the gentlemen composing the Deputation who forwarded the letter of yesterday's date, in relation to the sufferings of the indus trious classes, if thosegentlemen can make it convenient to cal, here about half-past one o'clock to-morrow (Friday). Kensington Palace, Thursday, July 7. The reading of this note was followed by much cheering. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letter froio the Secretary of the Birmingham Anti-Corn-jaw .Asso •iation : To the Chairman of Delegates from the Manufacturing Dis tricts of the United Kingdom, assembled at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard. Sir,-1 hays to inform you, that at a preliminary meeting held last night at the public office in this borough, of shop keepers, i inkeepeis, tradesmen, and retail dealers, it was the unanimous opinion of those present, that such a movement as that lately commenced by the inhabitants of Manchester and Leeds, was highly desirable; but that so many circumstances combined, having a tendency to oppress and bow down the in dustry. of the country, causes feelings of despair to generate in their bosoms to such an extent, that everything that passes around them is become entirely hopeless. With a cold, bleak, and dreary winter before them—with nothing but ruin, utter, hopeless ruin staring them in the face—with its attendant cala mity, revolution, hovering about them, and draining from within them the very vitals which inspire men to energy ; and to deeds of patriotism—with all these adverse circum stances staring them in the face, the shopkeepers and tradesmen have given up all hope of improving their con dition, by remonstrances, and petitioning, ard memorialising, and deputationising, and bending the slavish knee to tyrants, who convert the statements of the people's condition into food for amusement and ridicule, who brutishly laugh at the tat tered garments of the poor, and who mock their heart-breUring representations in giving them stones when they ask for bread. The shopkeepers have unanimously declued that their only hope rests in circumstances, which are fast approaching to a crisis. Those of Birmingham resolved last evening, with Jur rowed brows and cheeks flushed with the glow of patriotic in dignation, that they would hereafter stand with folded arms and watch, until that period, when Englishmen, knowing their rights, will dare to maintain them. Sir, These are the feelings—this is the determination of tl.e shopkeepers ktiff'tradesmen of Birmingham. Sir Robert Peel and his friends have repeatedly acknowledged the distress. They have expressed their surprise that the poor have borne their burdens so patiently. The remedy has, a thousand times, been pointed out to him, and Sir Robert Peel ha a thousand times refused to apply the remedy I What hope is there? None ; at least the men of Birming ham cannot see any. With such dismal prospects then, arid with so little chance of success, my fellow-townsmen have re tired for the present in gloomy despair; hut ready at a mo ment's notice to join in raptures any great national movement which may be made, with a fair prospect of success, for the re demptien and emancipation of our common, our oppressed, and grievously insulted country. I am, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, JOSEPH A. LANDER, Secretary of the Birmingham Anti CorneLaw Association. Steel-house-lane, Birmingham, Jut) , 6, 1t442. The CHAIRMAN next read the following letter from a gentleman in Bangor : I have been, as you are well aware, intimately known in this part of the c:-untry for many years past, and my habits and pr fessi t in a l avocat i ons h ave a ff orde d me ample means of obtain ing personally, a correct knowledge of the general condition of the inhabitants. I have- witnessed during the last two years instances of distress amongst the lower classes wheel. exceed my powers of duet it ion ; and, from present appearances, there is overy prospect that such instances will be greatly in creased. Th e e arn i ngs o f t h e men emp l oye d i n the Be.-ichey- Cafu and the ( logwyn-y-thgfran qusrries had been tor sem*• rannths past materially re d uce d by th e mo d e in which their labour was arranged; the men, however, were kept out though unable to earn what they had been accustornee to do, and their hardships were greatly increased le the high prices which corn and butcher's meat commsnied. The week bet' re last in Braich-y-Cafn quarry, where there are 2,500 men employed, the days of labour wer e t o tricted ti. four days in the week, being equivalent to the discharge of 80u men : at this time beef, mutton, and lamb are 74 - 1. the lb., in the Bangor market, and in Llaunsst on Tuesday last, wheat was 75s , and barley 455. the qua, ter. The rumour is very prevalent that it is intended shortly to restrict the days of labour to three days in each week. The parish peer ue dreadfully oppressed. Many of them ars left for weeks together, without being laid the trifling' weekly pittance allowed to them by the Parochial authorities, although it is well known that it is the only means which the gr. at majority of them have to depend upon for their subsist eucc. This is not peculiar to one parish, or confined to one district, but it is generkl throughout this part of the country. By official returns, there were 40d cases (riot individuals) in which weekly relief. were in arrear for from one to fourteen weeks, within the Bangor and Beaumaris Union ; and I found ye - terday that she paupers in the Llannvst Union (17 parishes) had been, most of them, neatly three weeks unpaid. 'I he fat hers costa not pay the rates without being distrained upon, and the local bank refused to make further advances. The distress in that neighlsou-hood is much aggra vated by restriction of labour in Colonel Pennan 's quarry, and by the discharge of a great many labourers from, and the reduc tion of wages of those retained upon the Gwydir estate, the pro perty of Lord Willoughby, whose agent, Kennedy, is the author of a pamphlet in favour of the Cnrn-laws. 1 have never know, the condition of the lower and middling classes more depressed nor theirpro-pects more gloomy. Everything seems at a stand still, and every body seems toask, what is come of us ? I can say front my own knowledge that, but for the charity of those who haul the means—many whose means were very limited —many indi viduals in these districts must have perished from want—lite rally the Ifant - of food, during the last two years; and there is every prospect at present that ma n y o f th ose w h o were i n the habit of bestowing charity upon others, will turn to seek it themselves ere long. I fear that the produce of the approach irg harvest will, upon the whole, disappoint the expectatiells of those who trust to its abundance as a means of relieving the pre vailing distress. The price of butchers' meat is kept up by the scarcity of fat cattle, produced by thehigh price of corn. The gene rality of farmers, it is very well known, have been obliged to sell off their corn to meet their rent days, immediately after it was harvested; and consequently, for th e greater part o f t h e year. are buyers of corn for their use- These men cannot find cattle for the market (and nine-tenths of them never see butchers' meat on their own tables from year's end to ye a r', e n d), h ence the scarcity of fat cattle and the consequent high price o butchers' meat. The ❑phoiders of the Corn-laws have incurred a fearful responsibility. God only knows how it will terminate. Clas• legislation to uphold a bankrupt aristocracy, and a bloated priesthood, when the millions are starving, is a dangerous as well as a cruel political experiment. You know the old saying, " lrech gwlad nag Arghvydd."—Yours, very truly, IJr. Wakes Griffith. 0. V. ROBERTS. Mr. G. 'Fitomi.soN then read the following letter froil a gentleman in Ashton-under-Lyne ; the contents of it. he was slim, would be found deeply interesting and im portant : Ashton, July 5, 1842. My dear Sir,—l beg to hand you a statement iliu.trative the present state of this parish, and tending to prove that un [ess some channel be opened for the productive employment of capital and labour, property will be eaten up, and ruin inns' inevitably overtake all classes•depcndent upon trade iu tint district. 1. Rates laid for the Relief of the Poor in this Parish from 1836 to 1842 inclusive :- 1836. October 5 £4.845 9 7 1837. September 20 1838. November 6 ...... 4,794 19 10 1839. August 24 6,442 16 5 1840. April 6 and December s—two rates 12,219 8 7 1841. June 13 1841. January 1 and June 11—two rates 15,364 16 2 or an increase of 200 per cent. since 11136 It is very probable that another rate will be required before Christmas, a, 4.001)/ of that laid in June is required to liquidate arrears ; and it i, worthy of notice, that in 1836 the parish had funds in ham; amounting to 00!. he difficulty of collecting the rates is daily increasing, as the rate-payers are daily being impoverished ; there was pro perty unoccupied, and therefore yielding nothing to the parish tunds in June last, the rental of which amounts d to more than 12,000/. per annum, and this sum may be said to incrfa-c every day. 2. Out-door relief granted during the three months ending June 30, in the following years:- 1836 1837 .. . 488 9 1 1833 1839 . 578 0 6% 1840 716 4 7 1841 . . 1840 1,093 9 11 being an increase of 130 per cent. over 1836. 3. Employment. —Eight mills, employing, when at work, at least 1,000 persons, are standing; six others, employing least 3,000, are working only four days a week ; and the wages of those who are at work are constantly reduced by the pres sure of the times-upon the employer. The number of persons unemployed is about 3,000, or one seventh of the entire population. Believing these facts will bearexamination, and wishing the present meeting of Deputies may bring about some important results, but hoping against hope, I remain, my dear Sir,. yours on behalf of the Ashton and Dukin.eld Anti- Corn-law Association, JOSEPH SPENCER. The reading of these several cUtinliunicutions was Frequently interrupted by cheers. General GREENE, of the United States, was them ;alled upon by the Chairman, and proceeded to address the meeting as follows :—The first question probably Nhich will present itself to the minds of all aroutui me will be, who is this gentlemen from the United States Low about to address us ? and why it i s t h at l ie comes b efore t hi s as s embly ? Wh at inducement can he have to mingle in our deliberations ? My answer is, that lam an American. That word must .:onvey to y our m i n d one ma i n i mpre ssion, which is, th at You and I h ave a common ancestry ;ion, and t h at we have common sympathies.—(Renewed ---(Cheers)—that have a cotm non l anguage, that we h ave a common reli ,:heers.) I h ave sa i d that we had a common ancestry ; but where do Igo to trace my ancestors ? Do Igo to the bleak hills of Scotland ? No. Do Igo to the moun tain districts of W a l es .? N o . Do Igo to the fertile :alleys of England? No. 1)o I fro to the Emerald Isle? No, Ido not. If you ask how theta I can claim a cons non parentage, n a y answer is that Igo to neither coin:.ry, because. I'll g o to all.— Cheers.) To whatever )art of the Unit e d Ki ngdom I turn I find my ancestors ;here. The mingl e d bl ood of every sec tion flows in these eins.—(Clicers.) I must, therefore, be excused if I tell .Ifr. (Moundl that as Ido not feel I have been priju !iced by the Union lam slot a repealer.--(llear, bear.) I lave read :it home accounts of the distre ss which ha s oervaded England. I h ave h ear d i n t his assembly accounts of sufferings calculated t o ren d t h e 'wart, but which I ;save known through the de scr iption only that has been of them. We, on the other side o: the At:aitie, :now of no such sutrerings.—(Cheers.) And why cu .ome amongst you to-d a y ? I co me to point out to you, .his land of promiae. (The lion. Gentleman here poi. ted .o a map of America placed ire a corucr of the room.) The • United States of America.—(Cheers.) - I n come not - as a practised orator accustomed to debate ; I come not rely ing upon the power of words to stir up your feelings ; burl come to give you hope in the midst of your despair.—(Cheers.) I come to read to you an account. of the condition of the manufacturing classes in the United States, that you may contrast it with the condi tion of the manufacturing clAses in this country. I come to tell you that there is abundance of bread, and that the reason why the condition of the working classes is better th_n the condition of yours is, that we have cheap bread, low taxes, and cheap literature.—(Cheers.) My task is prepared for me, all that I have to do is to lay before you the resultsiof the statistical labours and the experience of others, I believe I shall be able to present to you some facts which will probabiy tend to give a new impulse to your enhrgies, which will induce you to unite your efforts with outs, that we may promote our mutual prosperity.— (Hear, hear.) There is not perhaps a manufacturer in this room who has not heard of the town of Lowell, in Massachusetts. I hold in my hand a statement of the statistics of that town, a portion•of which I shall read to the meeting.— (The lion, Gentleman here read from a pamphlet some statistical details relative to the state of the working classes in the :;own of Lowell). He found that the average wages of females, clear of board, was two dollars per week, and the average wages of males, clear of board, was eighty cents., or about 3s. 4d. per day. That was the rate of payment clear of board. A GENTLEMAN in the meeting—That is to say, pkinty to eat and drink, and that money besides.—(Hear, hoar.) General GREENE said that was what he meant.-- (Hear, hear.) They had lately had in the United States several conflicts between the different interests of the community. His experience of what had happened in his own country induced him to make a recommendation to that meeting as to the course which it would be ad visable they should pursue. He thought that the gentle. men around him seemed to forget that their great object should be to 'enlist in their behalf those who regulated and controlled the destinies of the country. He thought they should appeal more strongly to those in power, and to enlist their sympathies in the cause in which the Delegates were engaged..=-(A voice, " They have no sympathies.") He N 1 as convinced that they might insure the sympathies of the higher classes if those classes could be convinced that their interests were in truth inseparable from the interests of the country at large. There was a mode by which those high in au thority might be made to feel that the source of British power—that the pillars of British prosperity were the labouring classes of this country.—(Cheers.)*The true question, therefore, for the Delegates to consider was, how they could enlighten the higher classes as to their own interests ; and to that object he would advise them to direct their efforts.He would proceed with these sta tistical.details in relation to the condition of the working classes of America. The writer of the pamphlet which he held in his hand showed that even the females in Lowell were earning good stages, and were in every way in a prosperous condition. There were 1,500 girls in the Own employed in the mills in the year 1828; and during that year there was not among them a single death. The writer stated that those girls were seldom, if ever, unier the age of 18, and their labour, though profitable, was SO light that it rather improved than impaired their health. He then proceeded to speak of the religious influence in the city. The whole number of scholars amounted to 5,559, and nine- tenths of these were females employed ;n mills. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON said that, perhaps, it would be as well it' General Greene would state the general nature of the quotations he intended to make, as the whole of the documents submitted to the meeting would be laid before the public. General GREENE said the facts were very important. The writer of the pamphlet was very minute in his de tails to prove that the number of marriages in Lowell is rroportlon to the population was very great. The moral character of the females was improved, and this was au inducement to the enterprising young men of America who were disposed to emigrate to the west to find wives among the factory girls in the city of Lowell. He stated another fact, speaking of wages and the use made of them. In Lowell at the insti tutions of saving the whole number of depositors at 23d July was 1,976 ; while the ainount of the deposits was 307,796 dollars. lie said they had high wages in Amsrica, and he .would tell them why. They had cheap bread, low taxes, and cheap literature. lie held in his hand &awes's last work, " Zanotti," which was published in this country at 31s. 6d., and in America for Is.— ;Cheers.) There was also one of James's works for 3d. They could send these Works 2,000 miles for three-far ;Wogs. He would tell them how they could send :heir cheap bread to this country. In England .here was a population of 283 to the square mile, while hey had a national debt of 800,000,00 a In America .here were eight to the square mile, and nu national lebt. They could afford to manufacture cheaper than we could, but they made more by raising corn than by manufactures.—(Uheers.) He told them that he was an advocate for free trade. In 1833 he had hoped that the ittestion was settled, but it was prevented by untoward circumstances, all of which he traced to the city of Lon don.—(Hear, hear.) Not to the aristocracy, but to the money power which controlled this country. They in the United States were divided by party, as we were here. They had not their Lord John Russell or Sir H. Peel, but they had the leaders of their parties as well as we had, and their great fault was that they relied too much on their leaders.—(Hear, hear.) He was no Chartist, and he regretted very much yesterday to see the manner in which Chartist principles were received. It' there was one man in England more than another ~ vhorn he respected, if there was one man to whom the country owed more than to another, that man was Mr. flume. lie admired him, as he had set an example in the face of corruption to the country, as he had relmed to come forward as a candidate, unless he could sepre sent a virtuous and unbought constituency. The CHAIRMAN said that as the meeting was to ter minate at two o'clock, he hoped the General would - be brief. General GREENE said he regretted that he should say anything that was unpleasant, as he' certainly had no wish to do so. Mr. G. THOMPSON said it was very desirable that Ge neral Greene should be allowed to go on, as there were many things he would have to state in order to arrive at the conclusions he intended. The CHAIRMAN said he was somewhat astonished at the course taken by his Friend. The chairman was placed there to maintain order, and to confine the speakers o the subjects before them.—(" Hear," and che.:•rs.") However excellent General Greene's observations might be, yet he (the Chairman) was in the hands of the meet ing, whether it was r.glit to go.into the merits of any in flividual, be he Mr. Hume or any one el-e.—(Cheers.) They ‘vere met to discuss the suiibriog of the people of England, and to consider the best mans of its remedy. Mr. G. TuomPsoN begged to disclaim any intention of interfering with the authority of the Chairman, but he thought that General Greene had imp ►rtant sta,r, - -ments to wake, which were necessary to be submitted to the in eting. After a short conversation, General GREENE resumed. He should not be doing ustice to himself if he did not go on. He was about to suggest a remedy. He did not think that Universal Suffrage would prove a remedy, as in En land they hail wore populution than land. In Englited the largest °viol', of the people must necessarily depend upon T:culture. This was very different in the United There the factory-girls could lay up ..ey, then marry, and go to the west and become the nothers of families, and the mothers of future Members )i" Congress, . and of Presidents. This was not the case e England If they asked the man in America to sell !iis vote, he would turn away, for he believed that by so (loing, he was sacrificing the interests of his children, himself, and country. In the winter morning he called his cattle, his horses, sheep around him, and fed them with his own hand. The persons that represented the people n England purchased their seats.—(t !ries of" Question.") The Gallant General was again interrupted by a De legate, who said he thought that General Greene was wandering from the subject. The CHAIRMAN Said that the meeting could only last two hours, and the Gallant General had already con- Aimed three• quarters of an hour, and he hoped there fore that he would be brief. Mr. G. THOMPSON said he could not sympathise with the impatience expressed by the meeting, for he thought that the Gallant General ought to be allowed to proceed. After a short conversation, General GREENE resumed. He would be as brief as possible. There was an impression in this country that the Legislation in the United States was retaliating, and that they were disposed to lay on duties, because we would not reduce ours. This was not the case, for the, Americans would not injure themselves because we in jured ourselves. All they did, was to secure a cheap Government. There had been an appre hension that if the Corn-law were repealed it would be injurious to the agricu!tural interest. Apprehension had been entertained in the United States, that if they, repeal the protective duties they should destroy their manufactures. The free-traders insisted that it would be a benefit to them, and such had been the result. So, here ;if they were to repeal the duty on corn, it would benefit the agriculturists, by giving employment to the labouring classes ; and when the manufacturers would be employed, of course they would be better able. to pay for bread. Mr. Clay was the leader of the high tariff party of the United States, and he had recently proposed a series of resolutions for increasing the import duties. He had been replied to by Mr. Calhoun, who read a series of statistical tables, showing the operation of free trade. America could-of course only export in proportion to what she sold abroad, and she could not purchase . English merchandise to th e extent she would co, unless England took her corn and ates. bean shilli agricultural produce in exchange. During the eight years before the repeal of the high duties the exports of the United States had amounted to 469,000,000 dots. During he eight years of low duties it had amounted to 768,000,000 of dollars.—(Cheers.) The effect on the tonnage had been the same. In 1825 the amount of American tonnage was 1,423,000. tons. In 1835, the rear of the repeal of high duties, it was 1,606,000 tons; and in 1840 it had risen to 2,180,000 tons.—(Cheers.) Such was the beneficial effects of free trade. It might have been supposed that a great fulling off would have taken place in the exports of American manufactures. The free traders had said, however, that such would not be the case ; they laid it down as a rule, that among people of equal scientific and physical powers, those who had the cheapest food and were the least taxed, would command the market, and such had proved to be.the case. In 1825, the value of the export of American manufactures was 5,129,000 dollars. In 1832, under - the system of high duties, it had fallen to 5 ,050,000 dollars, which, in 1833, the first year of free trade, the value of the exports of American manufactures had risen to 12,848,000 dollars. Many present were doubtless aware that they now ,purchased raw cotton lunch cheaper than they did before 1833. Mr. Calhoun had drawn up a table, showing the effect of free trade upota the export of cotton rrom 1820 to 1826, the value of the cotton export e d w a s 170,735,6 0 0 dollars. Froth 1827 to 1833, under a system of protection, it amounted to 201,000,000 dollars, and in the year 1833 e - year of the-repeal—it rose to' 435,300,000 dollars. Such was the effect of free trade On production. With regard to tobacco, under the high tariff system, the value of tobacco exported was 39.165,000 dollars. On the re moval of the prohibition, it amounted to 57.809,000 dol lars. He apologised to the meeting for having occupied their time so long, and expressed his regret if he had said anything that could wound the feelings of any one pre sent. He had hoped to have been the mediator between the two great parties agitating the country, and thought that his experience might' have been useful. Many in the United States believed that an important crisis in the destiny of the world was at hand, and they looked with a deep anxiety to the result of the deliberations now going on in .England e . and trusted that by wise councils and moderation, they would be successful in establishing the principles of free trade. Mr. S3lllll (of Haddington) was desirous of correct ing some errors in a report of his statements the other eveninee li e h a d stat e d th a t ou t o f 233 ffituilies which he had visited 26 had only 2s. lid. a week per head to live on. He had been represented to have said Is. lid. He had also stated that one manufactory had given notice that they should give up giving out hand loom weaving. He had been • reported to have said that the manufactory would close, which was a very different thing. He had stated • that 400 individuals would be deprived of the means of subsistence in consequence. He had been reported as saying that they had been deprived of employment. Now not so many as 400 had been deprived of employ ment, because that number included the fatnihes. He had also stated that a man who had, been forty- ode years in the same manufactory, who forty years ago got 16s. 6d. for weaving thirty yards of cloth, now got but 10d. [Such we understood to be the purport of what fell from the Hon. Delegate, but front the low tone of voice in which he spoke, lie was at times nearly inaudible.] Mr. Roberts, of Burnley, was then about to read a statement to the meeting, when he was interrupted by a Delegate from the body of the meeting, who suggested that they had had quite sufficient of tI4 details of Ihe distress existing, and that it would be better at once to proceed to discuss the question of the remedy. The CHAIRMAN said that the meeting had delegated to the Executive Committee the arrangment of the pro ceedings, and decided that the Delegate was out of order iu interrupting Mr. Roberts. Mr. ROBERTS then read the following statement : Having on former occasions presented to the Anti-Corn-law League statistical statements of the distress existing within the limits of the Burnley Association, more particularly one which was presented at a meeting of the Delegates in Manchester last )ear, it has therefore been deemed unnecessary to enter into so particular a detail thereof again, but merely to state that the distress then existing continues, and not only continues, but to much greater extent. Up to that time the factories had not run much short time • since then there has been a serious deduction of ti me in almost all the mills in Burnley, and the neighbourhood. In addition to the ruonine of short time, there has been a serious reduction in the wages of spin ners and power-loom weavers; this, in must cases, amounts to 20 per cent., in others to more. L ow as h an d - l o o m weav i ng was, a further rduction has taken place upon that atso. A hand-loom weaver of cotton must now be very diligent and industrious who earns upon the average 3s. per week. The weaving mouslin de-lains affords rather better wages , but the uncertainty o f the supply of that kind o f wor k, and the great trouble and loss of time the weavers are put to in obtaining it, renders it upon the average little better than the weaving of cotton. I met with a weaver the last week. who is now weaving 40 yards of cloth, 40 inches wide, with about 42 picks per quar ter, at the rate of Bd. for that 40 )ands. These are a light kind of goods, generally called Tangibs. mostly manufactured in the neighbourhood of Blackburn. The wea ver told me three pieces were a fair average week's work, in cluding the fetching of the work, the delivery thereof, and other matters connected with it. This would of course amount to two shillings per week, and . this lull work. The weaysr was a middle-aged man, I believe a very industrious man. Suppose he wove four pieces in the week, I asked him what time it would occupy to do so. He said that that for five days he would have to commence by five o'clock, or very soon after, and to continue until after eight o'clock in the evening, allowing himself very little time for his meals. Saturday, after such a week's work, he did not reckon, as he considers that day taken up in the fetching and delivering of his work, and other things—whon this was accomplis'oed he would have earned 2s. tich ; he would have worked 75 hours, including the short time he would have to allow for his meals. This man had a family partly grown up; but suppose him to have a wife 'and three or four small children, how could they live upon it ? We will suppose it winter time, he has his rent to pay; fur though it is impossible fur him to do so, still we must that into aceoun:, a s of course he cannot live oat of doers. He has coals and light to find. I will mention no more than these three items, and I will leave the assembly here present to deduct what sum they please on the account thereof, and they may reckon what the man would have left cut of 2s. Bd. to support himself, his wife, and children. This I grant is an extremely low rate:of wages, the lowest. I ever met with ; but the highest rate of wages for hazel-loom . weaving of cotton within the limits of Burnley Useon, will not enable a good and industrious weaver to earn more than from 3s. to 3s. 6d, a week. Besides ; wages being so much depressed, there is a very great scarcity of work. 0.-e large, manufac turer is declining making goods &together, which will most seriously affect that part of the country in which he resides. Ile is as large and as respectable a manufacturer as we have in our district. There needs do in , l,re about the poor hand-loom weaver.—As it respects the persons employed in mills, their wages have in general declined also, souse of them to the amount of from twenty to twenty-five per cent., as before observed. Although the factories in the immediate neighbourhood of Burnley have worked more time for the last three or four weeks, yet unless there is an imme diate revival in business, there is almost a general intention to return to short time again immediately. One large concern has been standing for some time, thereby inducing the persons who formerly works(' therein to great privation. Another large mill in the neighbourhood of lobe was burn: &an a few weeks since, this it is feared and generally believed was the woes of iecendiarisni. In order to convey some idea of the state of Burnley itself, independent of the nut-townships, which are upon the average much more distressed, it has be n ascertained by persons very competent to ascertain the same, that there has been paid 25.000/. less in wages, in the mills and print works of Burnley, from April 1841, to April 1642, than during the previous year. 'I here is only one establish ment of print, works in the town, and this mostly in conse quence of the resuming of short time ; a considerable part of tie reduction in wages not having taken place dui mg the time mentioned. 'I his amount of money does not include the less amount paid to hand-weavers and others of different employ ments. In addition to the above reduction, in the amount of money paid, the iron-founders in the town have reduced the number of their workmen more than one-half; masons and joiners have been much more than one-hall thrown out of em ployment ; other operaeives are also getting out of employ. rho reduction of wages in the mills is chiefly upon mule spin ners and power-loom weavers, and will amount to the sum of 12,00 W. per annum, with every prospect of running short tune; this, - in connection with the reducti on o f wages will be most seriously felt. It has been calculated that the reduction of wages in Bureley and the neighbourhood within a short tune amounts to morethau the taxes which each indivi dual would have to pay, supposing tle:t each person had to bear his or her proportionate part of the a hose exionde use of the nation. I have a statement of the moneys paid to the Poor in Burnley Union, which consists of twenty-six town ships, Colne and its neighbouring townships being included therein. It may be necessary to say that what has been said of Burnley in the Newspapers refers to the Union of Burnley, and not to the town of Burnley separately considered. By this statement the great distress of the poor may be inferred. I have not the amount paid previous to 1840, but it was considerably less; but the comparison of the am oun t s pa id i n 1840 and in 1842 will be sufficient. By the years 1840 and 1842, we mean the years ending in March in each year, as the annuel e accounts of townships are made up to that time. The demadds made upon the different townships (at least a many of them) are so- heavy it is impos sible to collect them. One township since March 25, has al ready paid 3s. 4d. in the pound upon a rack runt. There is another township has paid more, and, from what 1 have the rates in that township will be near twenty eggs in the pound if the distress continues. I was told also sat the collector of the rates had almost or altogether given animation that he should give up the business of collector, net being able to collect it from the farmers and poor people. The property in such townships must and will become of little or tee value. After making these statements of a very small portion of the trading community, and taking the other . state inenta of distress which have, and will come before this meet ing, we should add to them the ruin and distress which has overtaken the honest and industrious tradesmatewit 11 all the varied branches of trade depending upon a regular and remunerating state of the great staple trades and manufactures of this country. Many who thought themselves secure from a state of insolvency, and even calculated upon retiriug from the toil and bustle of business with a sufficiency, are now become de prived of their all. Numberless are those who during the last three or four years have been brought to ruin and distress, who are now oblted to support them selves by that labour they formerly provided for others ; thus adding their numbers to the already super abundant quantity of labourers. Some, unable to obtain em ployment, are dependent upon the charity of others, or may be upon a scanty parish allowance ; but bad as the retrospect may be, the prospective is infinitely worse. The state of matters, both as it refers to master and operative, is alarm ing. If we attribute (and we may truly do so) the past and present distress principally and chiefly to a cause which has been in operation for years, then the distress must and will continue, and increase in an alarming ratio. So long as the same cause remains similar effects will ensue. The mind cannot contemplate these things without dismay and fearful forebodings; and to suppose that th:s state of suf • fering and distress can fur a much longer time be con• tinued, to increase and accumulate, without some dreadful crisis or revulsion taking place, is impossible. 'I he hand-loom weaver has been deprissed lung ago. But distress and privations is now falling upon other men whose situation in life becoming suddenly changed will not so quietly submit to a continua• Lion of distress. There men will look back upon the comforts they and their families have enjoyed, with strong feelings of indignation, and attributing their distress to that' cause which may be most prominent will combine their remaining ener gies, and rranifest a eetermination to be no longer injured by laws and regulations which cramp the sinews of trade and commerce, whereby they themselves are rrsvented from obtain ing an honest livelihood. If no improvement takes piece in our trade, ruin stares both master arid workman in the face. When one failure has taken place, ten or more will to. We have no reason to expect any change for the better until an al teration is made in our Corn-laws and other restrictive measures- It is now granted by Sir Robert Peel and others of his party that more liberal measures mustbeadopted—then why not appiy the principles of more liberal measures to the Corn and Sugar laws, &c., and not: to articles of little er no value? We went an exchangeable artic.c for our manufactures, anti what more likely than gran, the food of the poor principally, instead of trifles which might be discontinued, and salted end pickled meat. The Corn-laws mu t inevitably be changed sooner or inter ; therefore, why sot immediately? why wad until the ineeent and iuttne ells:ress of the country has brought about all that an .r chy and contusion which will lay the country pro:trate ? 'I he dark months and long nights of winter are fast approaching, and, unless an alteration for the better tikes place, it is imps tible to conceive what will be the consequence. Neither per son nor pro,. erty will be secure. Moneys paid to the Poor in the Burnley Union, Lancashire, exclusive of every Charge save In-relief and Out-relief. Burnley Union contains 26 Townships.
