Where Associations already exist this will be matter of little difficulty. and, where they do not, nothing more is required than that those who are willing to co-operate with them in the present important undertaking should assemble, and constitute themselves a Committee, and upon their communicating with the Council of the League, they will be supplied with all the re quisite Papers and Cards. The Council would likewise recom mend that the influence of the Members of the Committee should be exerted to procure the formation of a Ladies' Local Committee. The duties of the Members of both Committees will be to canvass their friends and neighbours fur contributions. The Ladies are especially requested to adopt the practice of the Manchester Ladies' Committee, and proceed from door to door in the prosecution of their labours. The names of the Officers and Members of the Committees must then be forwarded to Manchester for insertion in n Book provided for the purpo,e. In cases where the formation of a Local Committee is imprac ticable, any individual wishing to co-operate with the Council will, upon application, be furnished with a Card whereon to place his own Subscription and those of his friends. They have likewise prepared a Circular making a special application to in dividuals for contributions to the " Fund," and will be glad to supply the Local Committees, or any of their friends who may desire to make use of them, in cases where a personal applica tion is inconvenient, or this method preferable. With refe rence to the distribution and return of the Cards, the following regulations have been agreed noon: — INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF • CARDS. _ 1. Tho Council of the League will require the return of all the Cards issued. _ _ _ 2. All the Cards to be returned to the Council of the League through the same parties to whom they wire issued, and wherever Cards have been distributed through Local Committees, they must be returned through the same Local Committees. . 3. The Collecting Cards, which, it, will be perceived, admit of twenty names, are distinguished by a variety of colours, and by' a distinct letter of the alphabet, according to the aggre gate amount specified on the card, as follows :—B. Is.; C. 2s. 6d. ; D. ss. ; E. 10s. ; F. £l. ; G. £2. 103. ; an.t H. £5. ; each Subscription. 4. Although the Cards may not in one Shire meet the wishes of each Contributor, they may be adapted to any amount of Subscription not exceeding the aggregate sum specified on each Card; as, for instance, the Shilling Cards will contain Twenty Subscribers of One Shilling each ; eight of Two Shillings and Sixpence, four of Five Shillings each, &c., &c., and all the Cards in a similar way. 5. The first object of each Local Commtttee should be to distribute Cards as widely as possible, to take an account of the letter and number on the Card, and the name and ad dress of the party to whom given. 6. Each Committee will, at the first opportunity, elect a Treasurer and Secretary, in order to secure the systematic transaction of its business. Persons desirous of contributing to the Fund, and who may not avail themselves of the above arrangements , are requested to forward their donations addressed to George Witson, Esq., 5, Ne wall's-buildings, Market-street, Manchester, by whom they will be acknowledged.—By Order of the Committee, GEORGE WILSON, Chairman.

James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bugnie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great affluence and respectability, and the late Member for Banff shire, John Morison, was the second brother of the subject of this brief sketch. In early life ho studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently in the West Indies, where lie acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seeking, from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery and perseverance, he accomplished his own extraordinary cure. e cannot do better than transcribe the following interest ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana :" A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgotten. and the world could have leaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable 4fects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con vincing proof of the motto prefixed to thi advice, that hhealthand o!d age are within the reach of us all. s ' " For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch," by his sons and successors, p. 3.

A meeting of the public in the district of iloxton was held,.on Wednesday, at the Britannia Saloon, lloxton Old-town, for the purpose of declaring their opinion upon the subject of the Corn-laws. Upwards of 1,500 were assembled long before the proceedings of the evening commenced, and spacious as the premises were, many hundreds left the place for I want of accommodation. HENRY WARBURTON, Esq., having taken the chair, briefly stated the object of the meeting, which was to consider, the question, whether it was for the good of the people that the Corn-laws should any longer con tinue or not ?—(Hear, hear.) He would call upon the great advocate of the cause of the people in Par liament to address the meeting upon this most impor tant -question. M 1 :. VILLIERS then came forward, and was received with much applause. He said that he came forward, not upon any assumption that he could act upon the judgment of the meeting by expressing_his own views, but simply because he had been told, what he had been in the habit of telling others, that each man on this question ought to do all that was in his power, and that at the present moment it was in the power of the humblest indiviJual to do much in promoting the good and benevolent purpose of that meeting.—(Loud cheers.) He knew that the Legislature on this subject was as much self interested as ever, yet that Legislature had in some degree been backed from without, either, by the in difference of some, or by the silence of those who, seeing the difficulty of success, hoped to find some redeeming consequences. belonging to the law. But he would ask such men to what circumstances they could now point to raise a hope or justify a doubt about the character or consequence of such a law.— (Cheers.) Some good men had fancied that by means of the Corn-law ample and healthy employment would be aftbrded to a large body of the working community; others thought that it reta;ned in their station and contentment a valuable portion of the middle order of society; while others imagined that by knitting toge ther the three classes—the owners, farmers, and tillers of the land by the common ties of interest and de pendence—stability was given to our social arrange ments. But if these pleasant fancies had been in dulged in by some he wished to know whether they now remained in the brain of any man who ever read the journals of the day, or knew aught of what passed around him.—(Hear.) He would ask whether, if a spot could be pointed to where more distress, disunion, or disaffection could be found than in another, it would not now be in the very districts to which such notions applied ? For what was to be heard in those districts but reproach, recrimination, and mutual charge ?—(Hear, hear.) Each was heard charging the other with the injury that they were all enduring.—(Hear, hear.) The labourer without em ployment, or with lowered wages, complained of his lot to the farmer, who, he thought, might better his condition ; the farmer complained that his customer of the town, depressed in his business, refused to consume his produce, . and grumbled at increasing rates, increasing taxes, and undiminished rent, while the landlord turned again upon him as the cause of all the evil which he imputed to his (the tenant's) igno rance, and negligence in the culture of his land, and thus all combined to complete the measure of mischief caused by this protective law; thus in every direction bringing experience to confirm the justice of the opinions expressed first, in 1815, by the people in the streets of this town—(Cheers) —and who were fired upon for doing so.—(Hear, hear)—se condly, by all the leading merchants, in 1820, of the City, assembled in their Guildhall, and thirdly, by some of the most distinguiShed statemen in Parliament, who, at the passing of the law predicted to the letter that unqualified failure and evil which had followed frOm it. It was for the people to speak out again, and call for the instant repeal of this iniquitous law. It was under these circumstances that this great metropolis was now appealed to on the subject; and he could. not help expressing an opinion that he had long enter tained, that this great capital of the empire ought to exercise somewhat more of influence over the political and commercial interests of this country than it has lately done.—(Hear, hear.) He said lately, for at one time the voice of London was all important in swaying the general opinion of the country; but it is matter of observation of late years, that in compa son with the provinces, it has been losing its influ ence.—(llear.) In all the great States of Europe, the power and influence of the capitals were felt by the Governments of those countries, while London, the metropolis as it were of the commerce of the world, seems backward in assuming its right posi nd al scandala a s n it d to posi tion, and in protecting the national interests.— (Hear, hear.) To vindicate the justice of their former opinions, and to mark • their sympathy with the national interests, he invited them to make known their sentiments on this question. He asked them to d i s r n . e(t.sc he removingers. upon ys m es ,this he dependencies —at c c o o n u s n i de t r y rd th e i t a ca disgrace of the condition of millions of its inhabi tn v t e - this country, envied by surrounding nations for its wealth and greatness--whose boast it is that the sun n the s head, is called, of civilisation, should have people starving in the streets, and b y tens d an hundreds of thousands destitute of all th e com f orts and essentials of civilised aid life.—(Cheers.) Better would it be to be shorn of some of its grandeur, if that . was 'the cause of its misery, than that such things should be- !But that is not the fact--- . -(Hear, hear) --and it is a scandal to think that it proceeds from nothing but selfish, foolish, barbarous legislation.---(Loud cheers.) Of this he did feel as sure as man could of what had not occurred, edared indifferent the law w ou ld that as long as they app es' continue, and that it would be abandoned with their earnest demand for its repeal.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the following reso lution :—" That the past proceedings of the Metro politan Anti %Corn-law Association, and of the Anti- Corn-law League, and the efficacy of their honest, peaceable, and constitutional means to gain their benevolent and righteous ends, entitle them to the confidence of the people of England ; and regarding with satisfaction the cordiality with which the coun try has responded to the appeal for subscriptions to the Great League Fund, this meeting of inhabitants of London pledges itself to aid in contributing to the ex pense of conducting the national contest with mono poly to a happy issue, in a manner worthy of the social and commercial importance of this great me tropolis." Mr. COATES, in seconding the resolution, said that ha considered the Corn-laws doomed. They had no longer any arguments to meet. Their opponents had at length discovered that agriculture could never thrive upon the distresses of the nation.—(Cheers.) He had recently read the lucubratiens of the two great organs of the Conservative party, the Quarterly Review and the Times, and what was the charge which these publications brought against the advocates of the ~abolition of the Corn-laws ? It was this, that those who opposed the Corn-laws were interested parties. No doubt they were.—(Laughter.) When a man's stomach was empty he had an interest in getting it filled. (Laughter and cheers.) When he had nothing in his pockets he had an interest in putting something there.—(Cheers. Whan he was without trade, owing to false legisla tion, he had an interest in curing that legislation, to improve his _trade ; and when he was carrying on trade without a profit, owing to corrupt laws, he had an interest in repealing those laws that be might obtain a profit.—(Cheers.) The interest which ani mated the people in their opposition to the Corn-laws was one that communicated a benefit to all. Yes, if they would but know it, it was as beneficial to the lanillord himself as to the farmer, the manufacturer, , the merchant, and the labourer. (Cheers.) The present state of the country was b admitted y , ties to be most deplorable. Many remedies has suggested. One class of Reformers had urg, necessity of an extension of religious instruction. Robert Inglis had advocated the building of new churches. In Bethnal-green no less than ten new churches were being built. But the articles which the people wanted were bread, coffee, beef, sugar, and such things; whereas Sir Robert Inglis, supported as hoped to be by Sir Robert Peel, sought to give he themother articles—th e Thi r ty- n i ne . —(Ch eers an d . laughter. Mr. Coates concluded . by urging upon / te inten ng . to to subscribe liberally to a fund whiw h ch 'romote the interests of the public. meeting Mr. JOHN S O N su ,orted.the resolution. He strong n. ly complained of iht: inquisitorial character of the Income-tax. Questions .ezad been put to him of a petty nature that no independ e nt and fi s ye man could . submit to. He had n o t on ly b een i n t errog .lted as to his ,cash disburseme n t s , b u t even as t o , - vhat he paid for his children's schooling !—(Cries of s L 'ame.") One monstrous evil of the Corn-law was, thal . the tax it extorted from the people did not find its wt.', to the Exchequer, but went into the pockets of t h, j am Ilords. At this stage of the proceedings an individual ;in the body of the meeting rose with a view to address the chairman, but no sooner did he make his appearzece than a hubbub of noises ensued, which threw the whoit3 assembly into confusion. Ultimately, one of the Chartists was heard in support of an amendment, -to• the effect that the Corn-laws were not the only cause', of the present distress ; but that other laws were , operating with equal severity upon the well-being or the people; and that the only efficient remedy for the' ills under which the country laboured was the adop tion of " The People's Charter." The amendment was put and about fifty hands were held up in its favour; the original resolution was . then Droposed and a forest of hands was shownipn its Support. A vote of thanks having been passed to the chair man the meeting dispersed. GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW MEET.. ING AT GLASGOW. (Abridged from the Glasgow Chronicle.) On Monday a public meeting, which had, been called in consequence of a numerously-signed requisi tion presented to the Lord Provost, was held in the Trades'-hall; consisting of the clergy, merchants, hankers, and other inhabitants of the city, to consider the effect of the Corn and Provision-laws on the moral and physical condition of the people. Before the hour of meeting the spacious hall was crowded to the door by one of the most respectable assemblers we have ever seen gathered together in the city. the Chartists were very numerous, and many hundreds of respectable citizens were unable to obtain admittance. On the motion of CHARLES GRAY, Esq., Chief Ma gistrate of Gorbals, James Oswald, Esq., M.P. for the City, was called to the Chair by acclamation. The hustings was crowded by many of our most public-spirited citizens, among whom we observed the following, viz.: —Alexander Johnstone, Esq., of Shieldhall ; James Lumsden, Esq.; Baillie Gray, of Gorbals ; Provost Bartholomew, of Calton ; Rev. Dr. King, Rev. Mr. H arvey , o f Calton ; Rev. Mr. M'Farlane, of Gorbals ; Mr. W. P. Paton ; Mr. Turner, cf Thrushgrove • Mr. George Crawford, Mr. John Tennant, Mr. Waller Buchanan, Mr. Ure, of Croy ; Mr. George Stirling, Mr. Pattison ' • Council lors Cross, Orr, Stewart, Brodie, Bankier, Mr. Robt. Hutchison, &c. Mr. W. BUCHANAN then rose amidst much ap plause. The first resolution set forth the very low and destitute' condition of the labouring population, and stated that this destitution was mainly attributable to the existence of the Corn and Provision-laws. He thought it would scarcely be denied by any one who had the slightest experience of the state of the manu facturing districts for the last two years, that there were unfortunately too good grounds to affirm that the condition of the working classes was very I ow that their physical comforts had ) een gradually re duced, and; hey were now at such a low pitch, that it was deemed barely possible that they could descend further.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") These gentle men who are acquainted with the destitute state of the working population in their own city, who had at tended public meetings in their behalf, and had brought forward a mass of statistical information relative to their condition, would not require him to give further evidence on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) But the parties who originated this meeting were anxious to . adduce the most authentic infor mation on this question, so that every one might be convinced, and they had obtained it from the reports of the clergy and home missionaries, from the inquiry into the state of the Scottish Poor laws, and from the Committee appointed to inquire into the condition of those employed in mines and collieries. From the facts which were thus adduced, it was impossible to deny that destitution of the most appalling kind had been proved; and upon the fullest information, even the most unwilling parties were constrained to admit that a mass of wretchedness existed in this country; which was unexampled and unknown in any previous part of our national history. —(Hear, hear.) The resolutions went on to attribute this suffering in a great degree to the existence of the Corn and Provision-laws. By computations which had been carefully made, it had been proved that the bread of the poor man had been raised 40 per cent. in price above •the sum at which it could be purchased were it made of foreign flour or foreign corn intro duced into this country.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) If this statement was true, and he had no doubt of its correctness, it followed that the poor man, whose wages did not average more than 10s. per week, was compelled to pay out of his pittance 2s. per week as a tax to the landowners—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear") —on the supposition that the half of his earnings went to purchase what the Americans not inappropriately termed "bread stuffs." The case was simply this, that, in the case of a working man, earning 10s. per week, and spending ss. of it on provisions, there was levied a tax of 25., or upon an income of 257. per annum there was levied Si. If this was true, and as he had stated, there was no doubt of the fact, it followed that these laws were not only most oppressive but most unjust.—(Hear.) The resolution pointed out that the great cause of the lowness of wages was the ex cessive competition for employment; produced, in the first place, by the limitation of our foreign markets, and next by the contraction of our own markets. There was at first an attempt made to bolster up „- ages , but it had failed. They knew that of late there had been a great reduction in the amount of the workman's weekly payments.—(Hear.) This reduc tion went on for a certain time, but things had come to such a pass that capitalists were forced to be cau tious, and workers were thrown out of employment altogether, thus casting thousands of helpless indi viduals upon society without either food, or themeans of labour by which it could be obtained. Now, one cause of this was the limitation in foreign demand. He believed it was admitted by all writers on political economy that the foreign trade was limited to the amount of those productions which we could take in return. What, therefore, with colonial preferences, and other causes, the labouring classes of the country were unable to purchase those articles of foreign production which could be readily supplied. It was true that the new tariff had reduced the duty on many articles of foreign consumption, but still it left them at a prohi bitive rate so far as the poor man was concerned. Foreign productions were, in fact, excluded, and the result of it was, that in two years there had been seven hostile tariffs made against our trade by Europe and America. Our trade by these tariffs was gradu ally circumscribed in woollens, cottons, and metals, and the state of the country left a prospect of fearful and appalling destitution.—(Hear.) He would allude to China, and the more readily because it had been stated that, upon the receipt of the recent intelligence, the country was to enjoy a career of bright prosperity, and all the agitation for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and all the efforts of demagogues, would go down before that sunshine which was to exist for an inde finite number of years.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Indeed, so much had this opinion prevailed, and so confidently was it believed, that some of his own friends had believed that they were still for a time longer to suffer the oppression of the Corn-laws, simply because we had received good news from China. Now, what were the facts P At this moment the ba lance of trade was against China. We send more produce to them than they can send us in return, and the balance is paid us in silver.—(Hear, hear.) The produce taken from this country amounted in value to about 1,200,000/. • from the continent of India they took another million, principally in raw cotton; but by far the larg es t i mpor t at i on was in opium. Now, we had never taken from them above four millions in value, above a million of which found its way to America or Australia, and thus left a large balance against China, from which we are said soon to derive such vast advantages. It might be said, " Let us take more of their tea;" but at the present moment there was as much tea imported as we had a market for, and so long as the duty of 200 per cent. remained there was very little prospect of an increase in the article. The great limit was found in the destitute state of the people, who, so long as the landlord's tax remained, could not increase their consumption of this article. He submitted that so long as the Corn-law tax remained, there was a limit to the consumption of tea, coffee, and sugar, which was absolutely impas sable, and until the adoption of a fundamental change it was impossible to expect a healthy trade with China or any other country.—(Hear, hear.) So far, therefore, from relaxing their efforts for an abolition of the Corn-laws, on account of our altered relations with China, it was a reason why the Oppo sition should be made more determined than before. — (Loud applause.) Be would briefly advert to what he conceived to be the prospects of the termination of their struggle. These prospects, he rejoiced to say, were of the most c h eer i ng d escr iption. He would pass over what, no doubt, all who were engaged in this question must feel as a guarantee of ultimate sue ,
