I thank you, Sir, for your attention, and beg respectfully to wish you farewell.—(llr. Thompson sat down amidst vehement and reiterated applause, The resolution was then passed by acciatimf on. Mr. MASSEY, of Manchester, ttioved--" That, whereas her Alajsety's present advisers have wholly dissatisfied the country by refusing to bring itt h measure for the immediate and total abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws, a memorial from this Conferenft be presented to the Queen—(Cheers )—expressing an titter want of confidence in her present advisers, or in any Ministers who will not propose to Parliament the total and im mediate abolition of there laws, an their alarm at the conse quences likely to arise from the distress of the suffering people." The resolution was carried by acclamation. Mr. COATES, Delegate from the Tower Hamlets, moved a resilution to the effect that the Conference should adjourn until six o'clock in the evening, to reassemble in the same place, to receive the sentiments of such Delegates as might wish to declare their opinions of the Conference and the country, but recommending the speakers to be brief,as a number of gentlem tri were anxious to address the meeting. Mr. Coates then said he should-best recommend brevity. in the evening by being brief himself in the morning.--( Hear and laughter.) Some people had been weak enough to anticipate good things from Sir Robert Peel, but he (Mr. C.) was not one of them. On the contrary, he endeavoured last night to ere rect their delu sions at a public meeting, by telling them a story about the late Rev. Air, Huntington, a well-known and most popular preacher of the Calvinistic connection. Mr. Huntington was once in vited to a new congregation, and the people were as eager to hear him as they were to hear Sir R. Peel last night in the House of Commons. The preacher commenced by saying " Beloved brethren, if you have come hither expecting to hear an eloquent and learned discourse, or a grammatical discourse, then I am the man to disappoint you."—( Laughter anti hear.) So Sir R. Peel might have said if you came hither expectin g liberal principles or free trade, or even an approximation, however remote, to free-trade, I am the man that can disapp iet you ( Loud laughter, and cries of hear, hear.) The Pr hoe Minister however, said that the good and bad harves ts did not fellow alternately, but came in cycles. Now, that was discovered b a cleverish youth about 4,000 years ago.— ( Cheers and laughter.) But during the seven rears of plenty he stored up against the seven years of famine, so that ,he was able to supply Egypt, and also Palestine. While Sir Robert would not permit a supply to be laid in against years of famine in years of abund. ante, at seasons of famine he said you must eat bread at the famine price. This was the whole substance cf his political wisdom. It seemed to be r. satisfaction to the Prime Minister to state that the people of Prussia were worse off than the people of England.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Was it to find out this that the King of Prussia was re ceived with such splendour and hospitality on our shores? But he bad but tittle knowledge of the people of this country if he thought they would derive satisfaction from knowing that the subjects of a despotic kingdom were in a more miserable condition than themselves. But still they were not without hope that when they got more ground down—when the poor were poorer still, and the hungry hungrier still—when the people of England were brought down to the level of the most de graded nation—then the time might come when Sir tlobert Peel would be their political saviour. Perhaps Sir Robert did not think that. they were yet sufficient sinners to receive his gown.—( Laughter.) Perhaps he would say in the words of the well known hymn— Come hungry, come thirsty, Corte ragged and bare ; You can't come too dirty, Come just as you are. —(Shouts of laughter.) He, (Mr. Coates) had a better opinion of the good sense and indomitable courage of the people of England, to fear that the nation would hetrampled on by a faction.—( Cheers). Whatever might be done to reduce the people to the condition of the lowest of the low their spirit would revolt against it, and every man in England would exclaim, " I'd rather be a dog, and bay the moon, than such a Briton."—( Cheers.) The motion which he rose to make was, that the Conference should ad journ to six o'clock in this place. But he wished also to inform them that there would be a meeting at mile end at eight o'clo k, for the purpose of promoting the same righteous cause—(Hear, hear)—and he had the plea ure to add, that although they were in this district in the heart of the Char lists, and surrounded by a mass of the poorest of the working classes in Bethnal-green and Spitalfields, there never yet occurred a public meeting on the subject of the Corn-laws in which free discus-ion was not allowed, or order not maintained—nor one in which the resolutions were not carried almost unanimously.—(Hear , hear.) At all those meetings he had had the good fortune to receive a vote of thanks for his impartiality, in which vote the Chartists pre sent unanimously joined.—( Hear, hear.). The secret of his success was short and simple, it was to give a fair hearing to all men of all creeds.—(Cheers.) He was quite sure that the only way to make truth triumph was to investigate and give it fair play. If they wished to make the cause of oppo sition to monopoly truly powerful, they must look downwards, and not upwards. They must unite themselves with the working classes. If the middle and working classes were united, they might make a present of the aristocracy to the monopolists.— (Cheers.) lie concluded by moving the adjournment to six o'clock. The CH A IRM AII then, in terms of warm eulogy, introdueeda seconder of the motion, the gentleman well known as author of the letters signed" Diogenes' in a Mo-ping Paper.—(Cheers. ) The Gentleman then came forward, and said, that the kindness with which he was received on the present occasion confirmed him in the conviction he had ever bad, that if a man would but con. scientieusly and diligently exert himself in a good • cause, he would receive from Englishmen his reward, no matter from what clime or country 'he came, or to what class he belonged. NV ben he first took up the question of the Corn-laws, it was fashionable to declare them a bore. It was difficult to make any person listen 1 to any argument on the subject. If he began to talk of reciprocity, every one would say, that, if he supported the doctrine of reci procity, he should lose his cash. But he said, that if he went to a baker, to purchase bread with tar instead of with cash, he would be certain of not getting as good bread as if he had brought cash. So much for the doctrine of reciprocity. He would be extremely brief, and only observe, that he trusted he benefited the good cause, whether he introduced Sir Robert Peel to his friend Hub. bard, in the City, or to his own friends in Mark-lane—whether he showed him how his Jim .Crow scale worked, or raised Lord Stanley to the dignity of the Marquis of Tamboff. He would say no more, but beg to support the resolution proposed. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, which was agreed to ; and it was intimated that the Conference should reassemble at six o'clock this evening. Mr SYDNEY SMITH then came forward, and addressed a few observations to the meeting. He stated that 994 petitions had been presented to the House of Commons, in favour of repeal of the Corn.laws, since it had assembled this session, whereas the Prime Minister's siiding scale was supported only by three petitions. The Conference then separated at a quarter to four o'c'ock. Among the Delegates present we noticed—Sir William Low thorp, of Hull, Mr. Bouitbee, Col. Thompson, Mr. Greg; Mr. Sturge, Mr. George Thompson, Hamer Stansfeld, Esq., of Leeds, the Rev. Dr. Campbell, the Rev. T. Binney, the Rev. James Car lisle, the Rev. Dr. Reid, &c. Among the Members of Parliament present, we noticed Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Williams, of Coventry, Dr. Bowring, and Mr. Ewart. Copy of a resolution passed at a General Meeting of the Members of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law Association, held on Tuesday, January 25, 1842 : ress for a " That the Deputation to L ondon be instructed to p total and immediate repeal of the Corn and PrOViSiOn laws, resi and s hould any modification be offered , that they (the Deputation) st and repudiate the attempt." Nearly 100 Deputies arrived to-day. " ADJOURNED MEETING. The Anti-Corn-law Conference again met, pursuant to adjourn ment at Six o'Clock last evening, in the large room at the Crown and Anchor, P. A. Taylor, Esq., in the Choir. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the Delegates on the exceedingly satisfactory meeting of the morning, and said, he had no doubt, by continuing such a spirit of unanimit y , enthusiasm, and deter. mination, they could not fail eventually to carry their object.— (Cheers.) It was impossible, considering the great importance of the business which was before them this morning, and the great importance of that winch would occupy their time to.morrow morn.dis ing, which was to present a memorial to her Majesty lbr the missal of her Majesty's present Ministers—(lmmense cheers) —it was impossible in the morning to give many Deputies who were desirous of addressing the Conference an opportunity of laying before the Conference au account of the statistics of the various localities. They had met this evening, not to pass any resolu tion, but to give those Deputies, who were desirous of so doing, an opportunity of laying an account of the statistics of the respective distress before the Conference, and as as several gentlemen had re. turned their names as being desirous to address the meeting, he would impress upon them the importance of condensing their re marks into as short a space as possible. Dr. PENNY, of Reading, said that the Conference had hitherto heard, almost exclusively, of the state of the eaanufacturing dis tricts. He was a Deputy from Reading, which was in the heart of the agricultural districts, and he could state that Reading had never witnessed so exten ive and such largely extended distress since the Corn-laws had first been enacted.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers in that treighbourhocd were not, generally, very enlightened on the subject, aand those who were so were not at liberty to express their opinions, in consequence of the in fluence of the domineering landowner.—(Cheers.) needing was at the present moment virtually unrepresented in the House of Commons, for such was the state of distress at the period of the last election that the candidates felt that they had an opportunity of exerting influences deleterious to the character and principles of the electors to obtains their votes, which they could not obtain in an honest way, and the consequence had been that two Tories had been returned to represent a borough which, for years, had been represented by Liberals ; and they had been petitioned against for bribery and corruption, and consequently Reading might be said to be unrepresented. He was no party mart—he was a Minister of the Gospel, representing his congregation, and he had the satisfac of stating that he had brought up with him a petition from that congregation, to which 250 signatures were attached, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) He had been sent as a deputy to Manchester, a nd in the Town Hall of Reading had given an account of Isis deputation. The Hall was crowded to excess, and the utmost unanimity prevailed in approving the progress of the Manchester Conference to ha ve, not a sliding scale —not a fixed duty—but no duty at alt.—(Heer, bear.) He had been present at a meeting last week, not in the Town Hall, for th e Tory Mayor had refused the use orit—(Cries of " Shame .") — b ut at that meeting, w hich was attended by 5,000 of the workin g classes, the most p pre vailed in favou r o f the abolition of the existing law. Tire cause of Anti-Corn-law r per f ec t unanimity epeal had made immense progress in Reading within the last few months. He was in favour of a furthe r ex tension of the franchise. —(Lo u d e tists in Reading, b ut s--(l s o u d c h eer; ) Th e y had many they Cha rtists had never interfered with the efforts of the Anti •Corn- .aw I League.—(Curers.) e--(Cheers ) They had said, "We will help you to repeal fire Corn-law ' and hope you will help us , as far as you can go, t o (Continued cheering. obtain an extension of the franchis e .

The articles were pawned for the purpose tr biiihting the poor Matt to procure stistehinCi for himself and his wretched grandchilttrets; end of those articles one was the little frock of his perishing grandchild—(Criea of " Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") That was a state of circumstances existing in the centre of those who advocated high aristocratic principles—in the neighbourhood of the Duke of Wellington's princely abode—in the midst of the proud mansions of those who, because subjected to no sufferings themeelcee, imagined, or scented to imagine, that rto degradation, no distress *as ehdured by the people. But there was a point beyond Which the patience of the people could not be provoked.-- (Hear, hear.) He trusted that the principles of liberty, to which expression had been given in the course of this Conference, would find an echo in every bosom, and then, and then only, they would find that " Britons never would be saves."—(Cheers.) The Cumin AN next announced the Rev. Dr. Bailie, of Sheffield. The Rev. GENTLEMAN then came forward, arid said that he-was not a Doctor, but he thought that if he were one, after having promised a recipe for a desperate case, he should at least have the courtesy, when he delivered it to his patient, not to torture him by saying that he had noconfidence in its success. Sir R Peel, after his long preparation for the present—after having sent to all corners of the empire emissaries to collect information—after having told the people of England to be patient, and that he would provide a re medy—after all that, the Prime Minister came forward last, night and told them, n hat ?—why, that in the remedy which he proposed for the sufferings of the people he had no confidence' whatever. — (Hear, hear.) Sir Robert repudiated his own plan, and how, then, could they avoid repudiating it also ? He (Mr. B.) was not dis. posed to repeat all that had been already said to prove how great a nuisance the Corn-laws were ; he would only say that hitherto he had been in favour of a fixed duty, not because he thought it a de. Yensible measure, but because he thought it the only one attain able.—(Hear, hear.) But now he repudiated that ,measure which he advocated before, and whatever power lie had he should pledge himself to exert it to procure the total, entire repeal of the Corn. laws. Sir R. Peel had last night proposed a maw addition of the al.dtng scale, and he (Mr. B.) trusted that the first use that would be made of it would be to slide the Right Hon. Baronet into the position of a private individual.—(Cheers and laughter.) As a Minister of religion he felt himself bound to advocate principles of justice. When John Knox was taunted by some parties to abate somewhat of his claims, and concede something to the severities of the time, he sternly replied that his Divine Master was to him all, and that he would stand or fall by the invincible justice of the everlasting God.—(Cheers.) Let that be their motto—(Hear, hear)—and they were sure of ultima e success. The course of justice was a glorious• one, and would triumph in the end.—(Cheers.) Sir Robert Peel, and those who advocate his measures, must remember that, little as these meetings may appear to him, they contain no small voice of warn ing on several other subjects relating to the great evils that are passing in this country.---(Hear. hear, hear.) He believed that that day a new war hail commenced, and God only knew what might be the issue. A question had been raised in a form more than phantasmal, and it would be well if it did not come with terror. A little time ago the country would have been content with half the measure now demanded from the Government, for tardy legislation on this subject will share the fate of tardy legis'a. tion on all other occasions. In 1628 the franchise was asked for a few great towns; in 1830, it was demanded for the whole kingdom —(Cheers.) In 1636, Charles was asked to abate a few of the national grievances, and refused; he was petitioned in 1639, and refused ; and again lie was petitioned in 1640, and again he refused; and at the end of that year indignation had brimmed the national cup, and struck down in quick succession all that sup. potted that absolute Throne, and brought about the Common wealth —(Cheers.) Let those times and those hist tries be present to Sir Robert Peel—for he might be assured of this, that those principles will be reacted ; and if the aristocratic power is to set at nought the claims of the people, the next step will be—how did the aristocracy come by its power ?—(.Cheers)—and by what nicans can we recover this possession ? The next question will be, ought the aristocracy and the power of the landed interest, or the popular power, to be predominant in Parliament? When the crisis came, when one of the two will hare to be preferred, he knew that the tardy justice which Sir Robert Peel was so reluctant to give, will decide that the people shall have the preponderance.—(Cheers.) This contention with the power of Parliament _was big with other issues than those of the Corn. laws : the people who have read one page of our mischievous legislation of itl.educated legislators, (our Colleges, it appeared, were very fine places fur learning political justice)—those who had read one pege of this mis.logislation of their Governors—will turn far back, and read more ; and as they turned beck they will find upon the memorable trial of Lord Strafford, when impeached be fore the House, and when he made such an eloquent defence upon every point of law, that he beat Pym, and all the patriot lawyers who opposed him. Pam alone, in the spirit of patriotisin, rose and said, " There are points at which the statute law dies, and where we must revert to the eternal and unrepeatable laws of humanity, which are above amt before all Parliaments; and upon those laws, the laws of man, it is that we impeach him."—(Loud cheers.) This was the ground they must occupy, when they found that they could not obtain political justice from Parliament. If the National Church, that placed its eminent teachers in the House of Lords, fails to educate that House and the House of Commons, in the common principles of morality, then the people must educate those Houses —(Cheers)—in those principles.—(Loud cheers.) It was not pre tended that a repeal of the Corn-laws in the abstract was an injus. Lice, but Sir Robert Peel said, last night, that in the complicated state of the country it would be an injustice. Is it then come to this? Is it because ages of mischief have been growing up in forest height, and to forest density, • that the bright beams of heaven are never to pierce through it ?—(Cheers.) No! if they wanted justice, whatever other measures may be neces sary let them be had too.— (Cheers.) He had said that the pre. sent struggle was big with other events than the mere dispute upon the Corn-laws; the great trial of monopoly was now to be met, monopoly of all kinds, monopoly of religion, monopoly of Lcgisla. tion, monopoly in Parliament, monopoly of the' pension-list, mono poly of the Colonies, monopoly everywhere—(Cheers.) They were about to enter upon the great trial of monopoly, in the per. sons of the starving thousands of the people and a tilled and gorgeous •aristocracy—(Cheers)—and as to the issue, he was con fident beyond a doubt, and night and morn it should be his prayer for the advent of the justice of the invincible God. Justice, like God its author, was uo man's enemy, and ought to be hated by no man. Let the aristocracy bring or. the trial, and let the people of England look to their part in it, and remember that if Peel should carry Isis measure by a triumphant majority, it would be a great calamity. But Sir R. Peel might apply to himself a verse of Quatles, the quaint author of the " Emblems." To a man determined to avoid justice, he seers— _ _ " The farther ofF you go, Justice deals the weightier blow." So with him; the farther he travelled from the high road of jus_ tice, so much the heavier would be the blow with which the people of England would visit him. He considered that the. communica tion that had been made to Parliament would raise- a sensation throughout the country, which Sir Robert Peel was not prepared to meet. the meat e a lmost people our and they s —theY 'are not ,ert Peel we sense ion does Ilife ere people— ?eratiVeS o 'Ad" things.. , 0 say ergy and ortionate —(Loud her wia t it was it Ping over proposi of those nts , and Lnd then ,hem leer : through en comes ary effort i the sub eniember vets some raw ve" orrnatioss ps to re iniquity .e justice le s hould h a d b Cheers.) anchester read one members, save the r Robert y should , but the the com -3d to be * hey to be as tb°" 'e they to Fed better people of „y Othe r comforts that, as the ' o ught c onneetel an a etermiura )f the pri m remark s aty which anted that !onsidered m ade te Will Of he :Jorn. the ei" at the line it m'eu ld Cioul4 be the Cel l " d to a so verlasting benefits of rstood th e s indepsw -indepely ow—inde ity.

Mr. SIDNEY SMITH said, as a member of the Conference, he was anxious to impress upon the speakers the necessity of brevity, as it was improbable the Conference would sit longer than Saturday, and twenty-four Delegates being in attendance, it was necessary that their constituents should know they had recorded those opinions which they were sent there to express. Mr. Asnvower, a Delegate from the Sussex Anti-Corn-law Asso ciation, said he should profit by the hint just dropped, and be as concise as possib . e. He represented a county which had to struggle with much difficulty and great discouragement in giving an open and candid expression to its feeling. It was represented by ten Tories in Parliament, and he thought rt‘ least ten Delegates should represent it in the present Conference- The town he had the honour of representing contained a population if 14,000 persons, and in that number there were only 130 electors; and therefore it was important that the representation of the Anti. Corn-law Asso ciation of that district should express their opinions and feelings. He could detail distress in his neighbourhood which would bring contrition to the heart of any man save a Premier. A new Poor. house had been built there, and yet since its erection it had been debated whether it should be -enlarged, or the overplus of the paupers turned out.—(Hear.) In the month of November upwards of 250 able-bodied labourers ap;slied for shelter and a meal's vic tuals, while they were wandering the counry seeking for that work which. notwithstanding their anxiety to get it, was denied them; and this in the county of Sussex, the hotbed of monopoly. and tithes and parsons.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He had been deputed by one of the largest meetings held in the district which he represented, to express their sympathy and cordial concurrence in the object of this Conference; but he was desired, at the same time, to state their firm conviction that it was useless to be peti tioning year after year—(Loud cheers)—merely to be made sport of by State hacks and trading politicians.—(Hear, hear.) And he was also desired to ask if they were prepared to carry out those measures which would be of real and practical benefit to the people—if the small shopkeepers, and those dependent upon the lords of the soil, were to carry on the struggle until they were ultimately crushed ? He wished the Conference to declare energetically that they would no longer submit to those intolerable laws. There was a feeling now amongst the working classes which required that some great moral demonstration should be made to brin o ; Sir Robert Peel to his senses. He had heard of the sacrifices of the citizens of London in the olden times—he had heard of the females selling theit , jewellery and plate to procure the sinews of war, and he trusted that myriads would uow come forward and make some great movement. He apprehended that it was unnecessary to enter upon statistical delails—they had had misery until humanity had sickened at it. In collecting signatures for a petition on the subject about which they were now met, he had witnessed such distress as he had considered impossible to exist without he had witnessed it personally. Action was now what was wanted, and not talking, and he hope t he would be able to tell his consti tuents upon his return that the Anti Corn.law Conference was actuated by a firm and undaunted resolution to struggle to the last for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. STERLING said the greatest distress existed in all parts of Scotland, fully equal to anything that could be found in this great metropolis, or any of the manufacturing towns throughout the country. They were told that if any one was its want and over come, warm, n ne e o d r , i b t e p y ro e fi c t l e o d th n e o d t , h " in y g et ; gav e 1 him not nd said to him and of what avail was it that the Go vernment admitted that distress a thatof which existed, and professed to symp athise with the sufferers, whilst they ‘ he Bel3stoode did nothing for their relief?—(Hear, hear.) Sir Robert Peel admitted that the proposed alteration was not likely to confer any material benefit upon the country. Was it not then an insult to the nation to propose. such a remedy ? (Hear, hear.) But there was one admission in his (Sir Robert Peel's) speech which was of v e r y g reat im p ortance. He said the duty which he proposed would be an a de q uate p rotection to the a griculturists. If the proposed duty were adeq uate, it followed that the present duty was far more than ade q uate ; and there fore, to the extent of the differe ice, upon his (Sir Robert Peel's) own admission, the people had been robbed.—(Hear, hear, wad cheers.) He (Mr. Sterling) did not think the efforts of Anti. Corn-law Associations had as yet been unsuccessful; it was to them, at least, that the proposal of this measure was to be at tributed. They were. charged with using inflaminatorylanguage. He believed that they were the peacemakers who had stood in the gap between the oligarchy, the selfish legislators, and the suffering, the disinterested, and the almost maddened people— (Hear, hear)—who had stemmed the torrent of dissatisfaction and prevented the outbreak of Chartism throughout the length and breadth of the land.—(Hear, hear.) He had been deputed to at. tend that Conference, not by his own congregation alone, but by the whole population of the town, all of whom, with very few exceptions, had signed a petition for the total and immediate repeal of these Corn and Provision laws. He had been Instructed by his constituents to consent to not , ing less than their total repeal. 'fhe Rev. FR/NCIS Btsuop, of Warrington, next addressed the meeting. He said he rejoiced at the firm tone taken by the Con ference; at the determinatioi manifested to stand on the broad ground of principle, to look at the great question before them in the light of truth, to demand justice and nothing less.—(Cheers.) He was deputed to that Conference by a large meeting held at War rington, on Monday evening, a meeting of both sexes. He was proud to stand there to represent the feelings, wishes, and views, with respect to the Corn-law question, not only of his fellow-towns. men, but of the women of Warrington, 6,000 of whom had memo rialised their Queen, calling upon her to exert her influence as far as it could be constitutionally given, on behalf of her oppressed and suffering subjects.—(Cheers.) The cause had raised a mighty moral influx since the junction to its ranks of their fair country women, whose influence, when exercised as it finally was, on behalf of humanity and benevolence, was all potent and irresistible. -As he was leaving the meeting to which he had referred, he was met on all hands by the injunction—" No surrender, no comproaaise—no half measures—total,total repeal."—(Cheers.) He rejoiced that he would be able to render an account of his steward ship, without any misgivings in this particular. That the Con ference had manifested a determination not to be driven from the rock of principles by the wily professions, the puil promises, and i the dexterous sophistries of that man of words—Sir Robert Peel. He bad never anticipated any gaudgaudfrom such a q uar t er . H e h a d borne in mind, on that occasion',who expect nophing, far they will not be di sa pp o i n t e d . " -- the rem ar k o f Burke, " Blessed Laugh r.) Enepting nothing from the GovernMent he bad not a ( re theyte -ests, having enjoyed their roast pork at the expense of the ruin of others, go on in the course of their practical experience to have their roast pork, heedless.of the general ruin which their sys. tern must involve.—(Ch_ers and laughter.) He looked with con siderable fear to the consequences of maintaining the present sys tem. A spark of hope still lingered in the breasts of the working classes, but he looked with dread to the time when that should be extinct.—(Hear, hear.) Could it be expected that men would lie down and starve in the midst of plenty ?—(Hear.) Could it be expected that they should st an d b y qu i et l y an d ee their wives and children sinking into the grave through hunger side by aide with a pampered and over.gorged aristocracy?—(Hear.) It was not in human nature to endure these things with patience, or to submit to oppression, to this extent without turning on the oppressor.—(Hear, hear.) If the Monopolists did not listen to the voice of justice they would be compelled to yield to the demands' of forge.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. STRACUAN, of Forfar, presented himself to the meeting, and said it was a subject of rejoicing to, him to find, that in the provinces the people were alive to their duty and their interest. He had received a letter this day from a landowner and farmer in Scotland, who assured him that the conviction was rapidly spread. ing amongst the class to which he belonged, that a total repeal of the Corn-laws was as desirable for them as for those engaged in commercial pursuits.--(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) He was glad to say that on this subject, even in the Established Church of Scotland, there was a rustling amongst the dry banes,— (A laugh.) In his own parish, the elders, sixteen in number, the managers, twelve in number, and all the heads of families, had petitioned for the total repeal—(Cheers)—and the women, to the number of hundreds, memorialized the Queen.—(Renewed cheers.) All class legis'ation was a sin —(Cheers)—and it was the duty of every man to do all in his power to put down the legislation which took away the poor man's loaf.—(cbeers.) Whilst those who sup. posed that they monopolized all the intelligence, as well as the wealth of the country, were higgling like huxter wives about 6d., the people outside were deliberating whether there should be any duty at all. —(Cheers ) Whilst Sir Robert Peel was discussing the merits of the sliding scale, he was in fact taking the course by which he and the monopolists must slide into the tomb of the Capulets. Sir Robert Peel must be displaced.—(lmmense cheering.) It was high time they should awake out of their sleep, and every good man should be at his post, aiding the poor man to recover his rights—(Cheers)—and one of his first rights was the right of sup plying himself and his family with sufficient clothing and food.— The Corn-law was nothing but a mouth tax—(Cheers)—it was a tax upon the poor man's finances. It was a tax which said to him that out of every loaf he made use of he should give one third to furnish sauce fer the ri.rh man's plum-pudding.—(Hear, hear.) In Scotland it was formerly the custom to make a whole country-side thrall to some particular mill, and the miller, who was frequently a rascal, plundered the people of their meal. At length they found it was more to their interest to pension off this miller, and pay him for doing nothing, and then they could go to some honest miller. The aristocrats were thrall-men, and it would be better to know what would really satisfy them, than to let them go on stealing their meal.—(Cheers and laughter.) When he first went to Dundee lie saw a man being scourged through the town, with this label on his hack and on his breast, " James Cowie, convicted of theft." He thought it would be no great harm, if a similar label were pinned upon the back and breast of the Duke of Buckingham Or what was it but theft of the worst description, to steal a portion of the poor man's bread ?—(Loud cheers.) In destitute districts, the poor were living bel ow the starvation point. That might seem at first to be impossible, but it was easily explained. At the beginning of the year, a family might be well clothed, and have plenty of furniture and bedding. Th e y earned during the year barely sufficient to supply them scantly with the necessaries of life, their clothes were wearing out, and they had no means of renewing them. Was not that being below starvation point ? If a cabman spent every day the earnings of his cab horse, it must be evident that when they were worn out, he would be without the means of subsistence. There were thousands sinking daily into this state of deplorable wretchedness. They were told they were a discontented set—that they had stave eman cipation (they paid well for it, by the by)—Catholic emancipation-- the Reform Rill. This was good in part ; they were all good, but why should the people cease to cry as long as they were deprived of their rights, as long as they lacked food and were destitute of cloth ing and of e location ? So long as that was the case, honest men would do well to be discontented.—(Cheers) Sir Robert had been groaning with heaviness for five months. He called the nation to witness his delivery, and he had brought forth nothing.—(Cheers.) Peel's proposal was a mockery to a starving people. He would not now enter into a Scripture argument as to the iniquity of the Corn.. law ; but he would call upon them to reject both a sliding scale and a fixed duty, which afforded but a poor prospect. and to look to the brawny arms and acute intelligence of those classes who were anxious to restore the prosperity of the nation. Two doctors bad now tried to heal their galled backs, but they were both quacks. They would heal their backs and feed their bellies if they would feed on what those quacks would sell them. There was the rub. Where was the man that would slide with Peel or fix with Johnny ? As every doctor has his hobby, It is even so with John and Bobby.—(Laughter ) The one prescribes a fixed birch, The other boasts a sliding scourge, Stand fast to Eight. Lord Russell cries, Slide up to Twenty, Peel replies. What ! Doctors giving stone for bread, While half are starving, half are dead. —(Cheers and much laughter.) Mr. S. went on to say, that he trusted they would not put themselves under the regimen of such doctors ; that if they would trust to the intelligence of the country and the firmness of the people ; that they would aid and assist in every good work ; if they did so assuredly, when they were united, those who would tyrannize over them would be forced to let the reins of power drop from their hands.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN here intimated that a circular had been issued by the Executive Committee, inviting all the Members of Parliatnent and all the clergy of this city to attend a meeting of this Conference on Saturday next, at 11 o'clock, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, when every facility would be afforded for Inquiry and counsel.' The Chairman also stated that he had just learned that Mr. Villiers had again this evening, given notice in the HouseofCommons , that he would move for the total repeal of the Corn-laws. Ile regretted also to say, that Lord J. Russell had contented himself with giving notice of a motion to the effect that any alteration in the Corn-law by a depression of the sliding scale was inadvisable. Mr. BUCKNIASTER, of Buckinghamshire, next addressed the Con. ference. He said he felt great pleasure in presenting himself as the representative of a large agricultural district.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the agricultural bearing of the question had been over. looked in'some measure. He had personal cognizance of the fact, that in the county of Buckingham—that county which was to be especially protected by the sliding scale—there was fully as much distress as in the manufacturing districts. There was as much real suffering experienced by the labourers in Buckinghamshire at the present moment as in the manufacturing towns of the North of England. In that county the farmers were getting bankrupt, and the same state of things that existed in the years 1834 and and 1835 was again be experienced.—(Hear, hear.) He was stopping in 'Buckinghamshire, and was written to from Uxbridge to endeavour to get as many petitions as possible for a repeal of the Corn-laws, in one parish in Buckinghamshire. He had the notice on the Wednesday, and by th e Friday he had a petition signed by upwards of two hundred, for repeal. The wages of the labourers in Buckinghamshire never increased anything like the increased price of food. It was out of the power of the farmer to regulate the wages of the labourer. The manufacturer, with the farmer, can no more regulate the wages of the labourer, than they cats regulate the motion of the sun ; it was quite out of their power, and acted on different causes. In 1834 and 1835, the labourers of Buckinghamshire had, on an average, Ss. a week ; two hundred were working at 6s. a week, able-bodied men, having wives and large families ; stone had more than 9s. 6d. ; and could it then be supposed that those men were in the position repre sented by a bloated aristocracy—(Hear, hear, hear) —namely that they were better off than the labourers of the Continent ? The question was not whether they were better off than them or not, but whether they were so well off as they . ought to be.—:(Cheers.) In one case in Buckinghamshire, a labourer had fallen down on the farm flout actual exhaustion for want of food. In a parish, Cholesbury, in 1834 and 1835, the farmers could not cultivate the land, and the adjoining parishes were obliged to contribute to the poor-rate of that parish. The consequence was that the land was thrown out of cultivation, but some individuals were sent to the working men, and asked them if they could cultivate the ground ? They replied " 0 yes," and the land was divided into small. allot ments ; it remains in small portions to this day, and was paying a higher rent than ever it paid beforeavhile the men were bringing tip their families in independence, without the help of either farmer or landowner. Those who thought that land would go out of cultivation appeared to imagine that tithes and rent were necessary to the culti vatron of the land, while it could be very well cultivated without the assistance of either.—(Hear.) It would be a very good day for the working man when the land did go out of cultivation. Thin Corn.laws,and those who upheld them, had been proved to have been guilty of theft, nod he could prove that they seers guilty of mu, der, for murder, whether perpetrated with a knife or by the depri vation of food, was In fact the same. The people must do all in their power to obtain repeal. The House of Commons were but the representatives of the aristocracy; they (the Con ference) were the representatives of the people—of the backbone and sinews of the nation —the working classes. The agricultural labourer was always best off in those years. when bread was cheap, and, therefore, it was to their advantage that the Corn.laws should be repeale d.

H a d there beets a low duty prop osed by Ministry , th ey should have been in a much worse position than an that in which they now stood. Yesterday they were on the ground-floor, and now they were upon the platform, and were p re pared to advocate those measures which were nece ssar y to effect the proposed intentions, and that was to put bread in the mouths of the working men. He was determined to advocate the question at all hazards, and be was determined when he returned home to adopt such a measure as would make their operations more efibctive. He perceived a want of organization amongst the Corn-law repeaters, and he re solved that he would procure largeand well-bound book instil up which would last for years, and nn the mind of every man with whom be conversed, the iniquity of those laws ; and induce every man, wom an, and child who could write to sign their names in it, and pledge themselves never id e... 4 .reSe their . ex ertions until they succeeded in effecting the repeal of thosi' which had starviiki chit industrious countrymen. It was quite un necessary for him to add to the pletuto any scenes of woe which he himself had witnessed ; the picture was already too dark such things were enough to harrow the feelings of any man who had a spark of humanity within him. They must now endeavour to secure the remedy. One of the Means of doing so, was to unite themselves more closely to the working classes. They had stood at ton great a distance fiom them—they had not suffi ciently amalgamated with them. Many of them had peculiar views --the Chartists, for instance—in which they could not concur; but let them unite all their differences in one general effort to obtain the repeal of the Corn.laws.—(Hear, hear.) Tke question Was a grow ing one—it had got fast hold of the public mind. Never had it beeti so well understood as now. They would go from that Conference not only with their minds enlightened on this subject, but with their arms nerved for action. He woo not prepared to take the ad vice of one of their legislators, to make emigration the remedy for the distresses of the country. As a patriot, he loved his country, and had no desire to leave it ; rather would he endeavour to assist in eradicating those evils, which had grown up in the Constitution before they were aware of them. He was determined to make his children lisp the repeal of the Corn-laws, to teach them in infancy that those laws were oppressive, and to endeavour that they should grow up with.that impression.—(Hear, hear.) ,Much might be done too by instilling the same expression into the minds of children in the day schools and Sabbath schools; they should be taught that they were opposed to morality and to religion. As a Christian man, belonging to a Christian church, he had treated this as a great moral and religious question; and if It were so, it should be in stilled as such into the minds of the youug.—(Hear, hear.) In con clusion, he was happy to have an opportunity of expressing his con. currence in the plans and principles which had been set forth in that Conference, and of declaring thus publicly his firm determine. tion not to ceaso to agitate this question until the great object which they had in view had been attained.—(Cheers ) GRIFFITH EVANS, Esq., (Chairman of the Carnarvon Conference) said the meeting could not expect from him anything like a fluent speech. Did they understand his native language, he could relate to them facts which would make their ears tingle and their hearts thrill. He would crave their indulgence for a few minutes ;it was the first time in his life that he had attempted to address an Eng lish audience in their own language.—(Hear, hear) After travelling more than 200 miles to represent the people of Merionethshire,and part of Montgomeryshire, he should not feel justified in returning, without having said something on their behalf. It had been said that night by a very fluent speaker, that the farmers of Bucking. hamshire were calling for a repeal of the Corn laws. He could ' tell them that the farmers of Merionethshire, and of the principa lity generally; were demanding their repeal. The poor were there getting poorer still.. The farmers were sinking with the working men in so ftightful a degree, that unless something were speedily done, they would sink in one common ruin. The working men might be called the foundation stone of the country. If there were any property, it was in the strength of the working man. The great Lord might lose his estate; the rich Duke might lose his money, the Baronet might lose all his indulgences and all his grandeur; but the working man had the power of gaining his bread by the labour of his hands and by the sweat of his brow. In 1829, corn was high. In his part of the country, barley was the principal growth ; in that year the price was 48s. per quarter. Wages were low at that time. He (Mr. E.) in that year paid his head servant 9/. a year, and his harvest men 10d. a day, with food. In seven years after barley was fallen to half the price, but he paid twelve guineas a year to his head servant, and the wages of the harvest men was 12d. and 14d. a day. The re. suit was that the people Reed happily and in plenty—(Year, hear)— a they were well fed and well clothed. There were able to take their places in church, which they could not do in 1829, nor in any one of the three last years.—( Hear, hear.) Some people talked of emigration. What benefit would that do the country ? It would take away all the useful, all the industrious and able part of the po. pulation, and leave only the fag end.—(Laughter.) The prosperity of the people must be in proportion to the demand for the products of their labour. In consequence of there being no demand for their labour the poor-rates were doubled.—(Hear, hear.) He could not see how the farmers could be injured by the people having employment —(Hear, hear.). He was himself a landowner, and farmed besides about 2,000 . acres (Hear, hear) —and he had given fu I consideration for years past to this question, and he could never find out how this system could do good to farmers or landowners. Bit, in fact, those persons were blinded by the tithe-owners, who had a peculiar interest in the Corn-laws through the operation of the Tithe Commutation Act.—(Hear, hear.) If a clergyman had an income of 400/. a-year out of .tithes when corn was 41. a quarter, he would have that income reduced to 3001. when the price of corn was reduced to 3/. a quarteer.—(Hear.) He did not speak of clergymen alone, but of tithe-owners of all kinds. By the Tithe Commutation Act, the amount of the tithes was made to depend upon the price of corn; so that to the tithe-owners it was a sliding-scale like Peel's.—(Great laugh ter.) He repeated that he did not only speak of the clergy, butlof all tithe-owners. Many of them (were men who never put on a surplice, and many were ladies.— Hear, and a laugh.) Yes, many ladies had properly in tithes; and others had the power of ap. pointing their friends to rectories and bestowing on them a title to receive tithe. No class, however, but the tithes-owners alone had any real interest in the Corn-laws.—(Cries cf Hear, hear.) And, speaking of the clergy, he must ceitainly say, that he should be glad to see the clergymen of London coming forward on this quest ion. —(Cheers.) The people of Wales were looking with anxious hope to this large Conference, and hundreds were at that moment on their knees praying to God that this Conference would have some influence with Parliament, and would prevail on the Legislature to grant them some relief. — (Hear, hear.) The aristocracy in his neighbourhood called him a spouting demagogue.—(A laugh.) But he could take all that as coolly as Sir Robert Peel himself—(Cheers and great laugh ter) —and neither sneers nor taunts would make him turn his back Upon the cause. (Hear, and cheers.) They had not in Wales been enabled to get the assistance of any ministers of the Gospel. They had gone about to the different towns and villages, but they were not granted admittance into Town-halls; public-houses were closed against them—chapels and places of worship were closed against them ; and what did they de ? Why they borrowed a cart and went into the street—(Loud cheers) —and there they were attacked and called all manner of names, yet still they went on.—(Loud cheers.) A minister of the Gospel had come to him, and said that no man professing Christianity could act in the manner in which he (Mr. Evans) was acting. He asked if Christianity did not consist in seeking justice for one's neigh. bour?—(Loud cheers.) Did not Christ do so when he related the parable of the Priest, the Levite, and the Ssmaritan ?—(Cheers) He referred him to the Ist chapter of Isaiah, and asked him if he would call Isaiah a spouting demagogue and a political firebrand? " Why should ye be stricken any more? Ye will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick"—that was the King—" and the whole heart is faint" that was the Parliament (Cheers as) laughter)-- - -end unless some purge was administered to it—unless it were soon cured of its faintness, it would ruin the country.— (Cheers.) Again he called upon the ministers of religion in this great metropolis to come forward and join them. He hoped to see them and to hear them at the Conference. The country was look ing out for them. They heard of the speeches at Missionary Meet ings and at Bible Soc,ety Meetings, and they were pleased to hear of there—but who could believe they were in earnest, when they said they sought to convert the world to Christianity, if they did not now come forward to save the poor from starvation ?—(Loud cheers.) He would call upon them its the words of Isaiah, chap. lviii, v. I—" Cry aloud spare lift up thy voice like a be trumpet." —(L o ud cheering.) St. Paul said, .‘ Let every soul subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God ; the Powers that be are ordained by God." He was sure God never gave Sir Robert Peel power to starve the nation.—(Loud cheers.) He might have effectual means of starving the nation, but that was not power, but oppression, " For there is no power but of God."—(Loud cheers.) Then there was the other Sir Robert — Sir Robert Inglis, who was about teebring forward his motion for Church Extension; that was, for the extension of burying-grounds. He would like to go to the House of Lords, and call upon the Bishops, who would have plenty of fees for consecrating new bury ing-grounds for burying the people, who were starving, from these accursed laws.—(Loud cheers.) They hoped in the country to hear good news from the metropolis that the ministers of the Gos. pel there were toot backward in well-doing, but that they would see them standing by the side of a starving population.— (Cheers.) 'l'. EGER, Esq., of Grinstead, Sussex, next addressed the as sembly. He said that after the extent to which the meeting was protracted, he would be very brief. He bad listened with great sa tisfaction to the last speaker. He too could say with the gentleman that lie was an humble land-owner, occupier, and farmer. He had no means of sustentation but as a landlord. He was con strained to confess that he differed from the last gentleman who spoke, for the landowners were not interested, as it was with them a question of rent. In his (Mr. E.'s) locality the rich man told his serfs in reference to the last election that they were safe as regarded the Corn-laws by the majority that had been obtained—nay, that if Sir R. Peel flinched, they who brought him into power would turn him out. He (Mr. E.) had not the happiness to come from a large district, but then those who had deputed him were in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws. (He (Mr. Eger) differed from the gentleman who had just addressed them with so much eloquence, who had been much more severe upon the Whigs as being mono polists than he would wish to be. They knew the Whigs to be honest, but from the publication of Sir R. Peel, it appeared that his plan was nothing more nor less that' to increase the difficulties of importation into this country. In fact, Sir Robert would raise the duty instead of reducing it. Hitherto they had open perts at 735., but the ave. rage was now to be 745. before they could reach the Is. duty. He was living in a portion of the country where the rich man would not allow his tenantry to possess a conscience.—(Hear; hear.) He (Mr. Eger) stood alone to grapple with those gentlemen who advo cated the doctrine of monopoly in his neighbourhood. At the last election a gentleman came up to him and said that he was surprised to find himself adhering to the party to which he was attached. His (Mr. Eger's) reply to him was, that his surpriso was greater that that gentleman should adhere to the opposite party. As regarded labourers in his district, he never paid less than twelve shillings a week to each labourer. But he knew there weee labourers in that district who were in extreme want. Indeed he saw a man lately there in the hands of the police, and upon inquiry be learned that the man was In custody for stealing poles. The poor fellow said that they might send him where they chose; that lie could not be worse off than he was, for that he had but eleven shillings a week, and eleven individuals had to be supported out of that suns. Its fact, unless the restrictions upon trade and manufactures were taken off, this country would be a very undesirable one to live in. There was scarcely a hedge that could stand in the winter time, nor a pole that could be left stand. nig for any length of time, for they were all taken by the distressed peasantry as fuel, since the high price of food took every fraction from them, lie had known abil seen men who would willingly have given the names of other persons than Darby and Fuller, who were' the misrepresentatives of the Eastern Division of the county of Sussex, but they could not, and though he had a triplet of votes for a triplet of counties, yet he was virtually unrepresented its Parliament, ex cept by one Member for Middlesex. It had been stated that, from the constitution of the present House of Commons, they had no. thing to expect. But he had also heard a friend say, that he had great hopes of Sir R. Peel. He confessed that he could not sym pathise with him, for he had expected just such a measure as he had propounded; the effect of which was to raise prices, and to humbug the people.—(Cheers.) If a tub could be thrown out to the whale, Sir Robert Peel was perfectly willing wills all his ,plausibi lity to do it, but as to making any regeneration for this country, it was not in him—`• We cannot gather grape' from thorns nor figs from thistles."--(Hear, hear) He heard, with pleasure, and singular delight, the sctech of a young and talented man, who had, he be lieved urged his views wills great sincerity ; hut be was afraid, if his counsel was followed it would be just the very thing the To ries would like. Only let them have the opportunity of exercising their lead and steel, and they would soon put them down.—(No, no.) But by peaceable agitation they should be able to carry far more terror into the Tory ranks than all they could ever do by force. It was this manifestation of brute force that had driven back the cause of public liberty to ad extet,t 'which it was not within his power to calculate.—(Hear.) The riots in Wales had given the alarm to the timid, had perhaps decided the wavering, and took from the public liberty its greatest power. Yet he thought the circumstances of 1842 were not tobe coin. pared with the struggles of the seventeenth century. He was happy to say that they had not now to ssruggle with the Sovereign.— (Cheers.) In the seventeenth century the struggle was with a de ceitful King, but their Sovereign had done all she could do.— (Loud cheers.) Slue had constitutionally done all she could for her people. The question had beets submitted to the electors, whether they would have dear bread or cheap bread, whether they would hese free trade or restriction. And never let them forget that the Whigs, in the first year they were in power, brought down in t h e ir Budget a proposal for the repeal of the timb er d uty. Th ere was a majority against it, and therefore they a b an d one d it ; an d, though they never came up to his mark, yet, if they compared one party with the other, it was Eke comparing the glow-worm with the light of the meridian sun. He, would now only add, that if the Duke of Richmond was any authority at all, he told them that the Corn.law was a question of rant. He said, if they were repealed; he should lose half his rent; he would be obliged to have fewer acres of lawn, and therefore fewer gardeners ; fewer plea sure.grounds, and therefore fewer labourers ; fewer horses, and therefore fewer grooms ; fewer coaches, and therefore fewer coachmen. u and grooms and coachmen, the poor Mud be s-- - So, because the Duke of itiennion rang. owittrrsveeds ananddgatrhdeeninerteg: toils 6f the nation destroyed! He should hap pines, of the people and lower rents. other declare for tisr The Rev. Mr. Garnet, of Manchester, said he stood there the representative of ten congregations, and he might, therefore, justly cigim the indulgence of the meeting whilst he inflicted a speech upon theist. On Sept. tith a general prayer meeting was held throughout the country, in accordance with the suggestion of:the Con. ference of Ministers, held at Manchester, at which his congregation, consisting of 800 souls, determined to form an Anti-Corn-law As. sociation. He had not heard that any other congregation had acted similarly, but he thought scarcely any other coarse could tend more strongly to forwent the objects which that Association had in vieW. No sooner was it known that he was coming to that Confe rence than he received several letters from various congregations in Blackburn, Oldham, and other places, requesting him to represent them at that meeting, and, at the same time, saying the total and Immediate repeal alone was to be advocated, and that any other coufse was to be protested against. He was glad that the measure of Sir Robert Peel had not been more liberal in its provisions, for, In consequence, their arms would be strengthened and they should be enabled to gain fresh vantage ground month after mouth. He should trouble them but hide farther, than to assure them that he would be able, from personal observation, to inform the ten congregations by which he was deputed, that this Conference was the most cheering sight which it was his happiness ever to have witnessed. Mir. SYDNEY &slum, as Secretary, and one of the Executive Com mittee of the Conference, begged to state that the Committee would meet at nine o'clock to-morrow morning (this day), and the Conference would be held at eleven o'clock, when he hoped all the gentlemen present would make it a point- to be punctual in their attendance. He could not conclude without Congratulating the meting upon the presence of the Welsh land. owner (Mt. G. Evans), who, he trusted, would make the Bucking hams of the present day swallow the leek to the smallest end, as the Welshman of old did.— (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said the Conference and the speaker were much indebted to the meeting for the patience and decorum with which those who addressed the meeting were received. He should observe at the same time that he had been very much in the habit of being present at public meetings, and was not unacquainted with the interior of the House of Commons, and it had seldom been his lot to hear such a succession of able and talented speeches as lie had heard that evening, and that the constituencies had done Oh themselves and the cause which they advocated infinite honour by the gentlemen whom they had selected as Delegates. With such men it was impossible to doubt the triumph of mind and intelect over interest, ambition, and power. With the hope that they should have a good attendance to-morrow, he should take his leave.—(Loud and long-continued cheers.) On the motion of Mr. EGER, seconded by Mr. BUCKMASTER, a vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the Chairman and the Meeting separated shortly before ten o'clock.

It was satisfactory that at last the prevalence of deep distress was acknow. !edged, although Sir R.
