The CHAIRMAN said that he had been called upon very unexpectedly, and at. a notice of only.a few minutes, to preside over the present . meeting. He felt, therefore, new .unprepared he was to addre.sS such an assembly.; but that mattered little. The cry of suffering and dis-, tress would make itself heard, and if that distress were not speedily relieved he believed that that distress would ere long make itself heard in a Voice of thunder— (Cheers)—which would frighten the .Gorernment and the Legislature from its propriety.--(.Conlinued cheer ing.) • That part of their business would not be difficult. It would be no difficult matter to bring before the nation, the Legislature, and the Government details of •the in tense sutferin and misery, which was overwhelming a a large portion of, their fellow subjects. They would have no difficulty in showing terrible statistics on that part of the-subject—statistics - harrowing:to the heart of every man who had a heart that; eetild 1t 1, The next' portion of their labours would be 10 shoe that the prin cipal cause of these evils was seareity'Of food—a scarcity bretight about by the S 'ytieliation of- the Corn laws.—(Loud cheers.) It appeared, however, that the Gev. mment entertained grave doubts as to whether the remedy fur starvation was a liberal supply of cheap food. If they. were suffering from nakedness he won dered whether the Government would doubt if a supply of cheap clothing was the proper remedy. They had a third duty to perform. If the Government still turned a deaf ear to their representations, and refused to relieve the wants of the poor, they must return to their constituents, and tell them that they had made repre sentations to the Government as to their starving con dition—that they had pointed, out the m eans of relief— that the Government had turned a deaf ear to their re monstranc—that they had nothing to hope—that they had finished their work, had performed their duty—had :toted the tdstress and the remedy—that the Legislature had refused the remedy ; and it would be their duty to say to the people,. " God help you, for Ir e on l y can. " Ta o day Would ue day of business—of business of for maLty rather than of statistics. The Committee would sit at six in the evening, and the delegates were re quested to lay their statements before the Committee in the ,vermz, in time to prepare the business for the morrow.

JOU N Ba IG HT, Esq., of Rochdale, proposed that George Thompson, Esq , act as Secretary to the Conference. Tin; 11ev. Mr. CA :MILE seconded the motion. . . :ecommend all to read it, as it gave a faithful picture of he prevalent distress. Coming further south, in the igricultaral counties of England the poor-rates were at ;Ins moment rapidly on the increase. (hear, :rear.) They found in these counties the farmer rho was paying 300/. a year, saying that he !mist •educe the wages of his labourers because of that great won of the Government which was to assist the revenue Ind commerce—because he would have to pay the In .oine-tax, he must therefore reduce his wages. A gen leman had conic up from Manchester with him (Mr. 3right), one who did not agree with them as to the means hey proposed for the relief of the distress, and he :aid that the population of Somersetshire were living in charity. If they went to that part of the !enntry they would find that 2 . 0 or 30,000 persons were now out of employment who were a short time ago in comparative comfort. In Ireland they found that famine was stalking through the land, and that riots were taking place, men being killed by the police, merely because they endeavoured to obtain food. How then could they sit calmly by? Humanity, if nothing more, would Call them from their homes. But there was a feeling of policy—their own safety, and the safety of the country were at stake. Within the last three weeks there had been sitting in that House, a Committee compesed of men from Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire. They had formed themselves into a Committee on the distress of the country, in order to make the subject know throughout the country. They had given public notice that they would be glad to receive correct facts as to what was going on trith • respect to the condition of the people. The facts they had collected were voluminous.. - They had received a vast quantity , of letters, all giving a itatemeut of facts such as to appal the stoutest heart. They intended, by their endeavours to call the attention of the public, and the conductors of the public Press to the subject. That Committee was still sitting, and they would continue to do all in their power to lay these facts before the country, believing that no country that was moral and humane - would fail to ap ply a remedy if it were possible. A remedy had been proposed, and that had failed. There was no man in bis senses who would say that the remedy tried had been effec tual. The Au ti-Corn-law League had proposed a remedy, the only remedy for that distress. They saw their own property slipping away from them, and those who had less property starving ; and were they to see themselves beggared, and the best interests of the country ruined, and not step forward determined to press upon the notice of the Government the magnitude of the distress ? (Cheers.) When the slave question was before the country Joseph Sturge did that single-handed which they were striving to do then.—(Cheers.) . Although the Emancipation Act was passed still there were eight months to run before the slaves would be entirely eman cipated ; and he thought it was monstrous that 800,0 so of our fellow-beings should remain even for eight monthS in slavery. They must remember that, although eight p in h gs St b u e rg in e g i s nat r l ) ts , m w u as hi a o s i ls o o d. r i t t ti B m o e o , ,o s o - o et ti B m o es o,oo o jo b se e ob tained their emancipation, and none rendered him more assistance than did their worthy Secretary. But now • the question was, were they, in the present state of things, to stay at home and make no effort to relieve the country from its distress ? They had interests at stake as well us the members of the Government, and they were is solved not to rest till some check should be put to the plague which was desolating the country. They had prostrated what had taken place years ago. At that moment he held in his hand a Report published by the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, four years since, which he would read fur the purpose of showing that they had prophesied what had occurred. lie then read the document in question, stating that it must •be evident to every reflecting mind that there were causes at work which, unless met with promptitude, would produce inexplicable difficulty; and the impossibility of finding profitable employment fur the people so long as the laws unjustly prohibited them from freely exchanging their own commodities for those of other countries, at once indicated an evil. " Monopolies," concluded the Report, "can no longer be tolerated." Why, that man must be out of his senses who did not at once admit, that what was then prophesied had literally come to pass, except that the crisis had hurried on with greater ra pidity than it was then anticipated it would du. Now fur tins evil they ofThred a remedy. He did not know that he ought to go into that topic, as the business Of the Conference was to collect such facts from all parts of the country ' as would stop the mouth of every gainsayer. and to compel every man to acknowledge, however he might &Cr from them as to the remedy. to be applied, that it could no longer be endured that such a state of suffering should exist throughout millions of our population.— (Cheers.) NeW they wished for peace-0 . 1%w, hear) they wished. for - nu violence.—(hear, hear.) They would not have the Curn-law, or any other law, removed by the shedding of one drop of blood. They had no wish to quarrel with any institution or any' party in the State.—(Bear.) They were organised for the purpose of -obtaining the repeal of the Corn-laws, which they believed to be productive of the greatest pri vations amongst their suffering coutstrymen. They had come there as a matter of necessity. They must look their position fairly in the face, and consider the im mense responsibility which rested upon them. Parlia ment had declared dint it could do nothing for the country. It was for them, before the meeting separated at the close of that week, to propose such a plan to the country as would bring the Parliament to see that tire people had the power—(the remainder of the sentence was lost in loud cheers). Although they held the - principles of peace, without infringing on them in the slightest degree, they considered that the country and the people had the power to compel attOution to this one question, and to compel a settlement of it.—(Loud cheers.) There were other weapons than those of war; there were other weapons besides those which wisunded the body ; there was a most beautiful and admirable sys tem which the people had in their own power, and to , which lie was fully persuaded they were rapidly drifting, which, if put into active operation, woula not fail to bring the struggle to a .successful issue.—(Loud cheering.) They were not assembled for the pur pose of bullying any one, or of uttering threats which they were not able to carry into effect.—(Hear, hear.) Ile was as convinced as he was of his own exis tence, that the prosperity of this country depended upon the settlement of this question. lie felt the respon sibility of the position in which they were placed, and he trusted it was equally felt by all who were there pre sent. Everything depended upon the course which tire i Delegates should pursue at the termination of their . labours that week. He prayed that they might act wisely and firmly, that they might enable the Government to see that the time was come when this question could no longer' be tampered with — that the time was come when justice and mercy must ta.ke the place of cruelty and oppression —(Hear, hear) —and if the Government should still refuse to hearken, he for one trembled at the result. He had now finished what he had intended to address to the meeting. In conclusion, ho would only add, that the ground upon which the Council of the Anti-Corn law League had re solved to invite Delegates from every part of the country was, that they might collect facts from every district, and decide upon some wise and decisive cuune of action, in this great crisis of our national affaies.—(Cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then called upon Mr. Plint, of Leeds, to make a report of the state of that town and district. Mr. PLINT said, - it devolved upon him to make a statement of facts relative to the condition of the woollen trade of Lecd There were three gentlemen from that district who would fol low him, and who would enter into details respecting the state of. the retail trade ; of pauperism ; and of time condition of the working classes in those districts. Therefore, if he (Mr. Plint) should touch upon those subjects, it would be only in cidentally that he shou'd glance at them. He would refer the meet ng to a statement which had been made in December last. at a meeting of Delegates from the West Hiding of Yorkshire. assembled at Leeds, and which statement had never been gain sayed. Up to December last, from 1838 to 1841, time failures in the staple trade of Leeds—he meant in the flax-spinning, the machine-making, and the woollen trade—amounted to two millions, while the average dividends paid upon those failures did not amount to 6s. Bd. in the pound. Such had been the statement made at the meeting. He had since had reason to know that, instead of 6s. 8d„ it would have been ncarer the truth to have stated that. the average amount of dividends on that enormous sum did ',not exceed ss. in the pound. Since that time insolvency had been going on in creasing in all the staple trades of Leeds. The insolvencies which had occurred in the woollen and flax trades since that ! period amounted atleast t 0200,000/. more, and he wasin a con dition to show that the average dividends upon those failures would -not exceed in amount the dividends upon the former failures. These failures had taken place among parties who were supposed to be perfectly safe—who had been considered hitherto out of harm's way; and even among those which as yet stood firm, there was a nearer approach to insolvency than they dared to contemplate. At that meeting allu sion had been made to the enormous deterioration of mill property—a deterioration then stated to be from 30 to 40 per cent. If mill property was now brought into the market, the deterioration would be found to amount to upwards of 70 per cent. Be would relate an instance to prove this. lie knew a concern which had be;:ome insolvent; a ques tion arose as to whether it should be worked or not : the mill and property was taken at a valuation of 18,000/. ; it had cast between 50,0001. and 60,0001., and even at that decreand valuation of 18,000/. it was now a doubtful point whether it would not turn out a bad speculation. Another important fact to which he would allude, was the consumption of butchers' meat. The consumption of butchers' meat in Leeds in 1841, as compared with 1835 and 1836, had fallen one-quarter in quantity, while in price it had increased 40 per cent. 'The diminution of the consumption of butchers' meat by the working classes, could not, however, be estimated by this fan. The middle and upper classes would continue to consume the same quantity of butchers' meat in 1841 that they did in 1835 and 1836 ; so that the average diminution of consumption of butchers' meat by the working classes could not be considered at less than one-half in 1841, as compared with 1835 and 1836 , ; and the consumption was going on lessening weekly. Thessubject , of the increase of the poor. rates in Leeds he should leave to the gentleman who would follow him, and he would now pass on to the subject of the employment of labour. Perhaps some gentlemen did not know what were termed gigs in Leeds. Gi g s were machines used fur cutting smooth the nap of cloth. Of 400 gigs in Leeds not more than one-half were in employment, and the difference in the amount of wages paid in conseque nce amoun ted to 60,0001. per annum.

The motion was put and unanimously agreed to. ' WILLIAM 'FISHER, Esq., of Rechdale, moved that the ' following gentlemen should form the Executive Corn ' mince, with power to add to their number :—Messrs. Lowe (Forfar), Smith (London), Ibbotson (Sheffield), Massie (Manchester), Bailey (Sheffield), Shuttleworth (Manchester), Plint (Leeds), Heyworth (Liverpool), James Wilson (London), Lees (Manchester), Kershaw (Manchester), Woolley (Manchester), Henry Rawson (Manchester), Bean (Nottingham),Fairbairn (Leeds), It. R. Skoone, - John Brooks (:Manchester), John Bright (Rochdale), E. Armitage (Manchester), Mason (Pot teries), Livesey (Preston). William Fisher (Sheffield), Sir Ralph Pondlebury (Stockport); Charles Baker (Stockport), Thomas Harwood, Morgan (Stourbridge), Colonel Thompson (London). The motion was unanimously agreed to. JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., of Rochdale, was then called upon by the Chairman, and proceeded to address the meeting on the subjects which had brought them together. It was thought advisable by the Executive Committee that the gentlemen present, and the public. should be put in possession of the grounds on which it had been decided that they should again meet in Lon don. It would be easy, to point out many reasons for adopting such a course ; but one, he thought, would be Only four months ago a numerous delegation wits in town endeavouring to press upon the -bssitilature a sense of the distress which prevailed throughout the country, and to induce them to adopt the only measures which it was believed would materially alleviate that dis tress. It was a very unusual circumstance that two Confer ences should take place in th e sante session of Parliament, durieg a Session in which th e but it was still more surprisingthat this should happen Legislature had passed. measures which they consider e d as a sort o f sat i s f ac tion of the canes of the nation. By the labours cf the late Conference a very great excitement had been produced throughout he euuntry• ' which, a dd e d to th e ex citement that already prevailed, became so strong that the Go vernment found it was no longer possible to resist, it. It was matter of surprise to many that that excitement had - since subsided—that it was, apparently at least, stifled since the passing of the new Curn-l aw —a law which he contended had not in any way miti g ated the public dis tre:s. But there were many who at first believed that the change in the Corn-laws, coupled with the altera tions in the tariff, would produce a beneficial effect, and restore to us our former prosperity. This expecte sloe had induced many parties to wait in patience, not withstanding the general suffering. Many, too, felt that the Government shad a very large majority in Parliament, and that it would be vain to attempt to influence or control them. There also prevailed in the minds of many a feeling of hopelessness ainounting almost to despair.—(Hear, hear.) All these circum stances had tended to create that apathy in the public mind to which he had referred. But any one conversant with the state of public feeling must be convinced that the general quietude did not arise from any alleviation of the general distress in consequence of the measures which had lately been passed. The apathy which now prevailed was more to be- dreaded, and more to be re gretted, than the former excitement, because it arose from a feeling of . despair, and a belief that from the Legislature no relief was to be hoped. 'When the Delegates had last separated, the friends of the cause had expressed their determination of pursuing that course fur enlightening the public mind which they had hitherto found so effectual.—(Hear, hear.) The Anti-Curndaw League had bees established for the purpose of laying before the Legislature and the country, and showing that their own interests were aeply involved in the consideration of this question. They ail knew of the necessity which there was for its consideration. If they represented this to an intelligent and sensible man, and brinight these facts betbre him, humanity would teach him to come forward in this cause. It was impos sible to resist it ; therefore, by enlightening .the country they were best advancing its interests. This was the course they intended to pursue. Circumstances had arisen which rendered it necessary; for them to take steps at once. In February last a pamphlet was published, containing accounts of the distress in various parts of the estu a ry , w hich were colle c t e d b y t h e D e l egates t h en m assebled. The facts in that pamphlet are sufficient to shake any man, to make any. Government or Legisla ture, out of common honesty and patriotism, to look about them, and see if something could not be dune to stop the increase of the-distress. But the state of the country in February was comparatively comfortable to what it was at present. The last hve months had been worse. than the previous twelve months, and what would the next three months be ?—(Hear, hear.) it subject. B ecause if a man was was absolutely imposssible to sit at home and not take the course they were then taking. Th e e l ement i n operation for meeting this distr e s s Was the enlighten ment that whi c h wou l d ult i mately affect the ade acquainted with t h e suffer t l e ts i t of rah3idl : the people acquainted o rif wa s.,A ings of his neighbour, humanity would teach him. to turn his attention to the subject. Within the last six months circumstances had occurred which had rendered the state of the country a hundredfold worse than before, and they !blind that there was no chance whatever of relieving that distress if they sat at home without melding an effort to abolish those laws which had pro duced the distress. That distress it would be easy for hint to depict, but he would not take up the time 01 the meeting with details, because there would be sufficient facts laid before them . by others, who came from the neighbourhoods—there was no neighbourhood in which the distress did not exist—who would lay the facts before the meeting, and he would therefore-leave to the Delegates the task of laying before the meeting facts more fully than had hi therto bee n gone into. But . thero was one thing he would state, and th a t was, t h at the distress was universal.—(Hear, hear.) If t h ey went to Scotland they found Forfar, Glasgo w , P a i s l ey, i n desolation. If they came fu rthe r south, they would hear from a Delegate from Newcastle that almost the whole of the working population were out of employment, and were living on the charity given out by the town-council. He had a letter from Shields, in which it was stated that the trade was almost annihi lated. In Lancashire many towns were actually sub sisting • on charity. Bolton and Stockport were in a state of desolation. In Leeds it was worse still, there were 30 or 40,000 persons existing upon charity alone. If they went to Sheffield, he believed they would find that men were not possessed of one quarter the comfort they had three years ago---men as able to work as any living, and yet they were driven to the lowest state of distress. It was the same in Derby shire. Ho h a d se en a letter that morning in the Morning Chronicle, givincr au account of th e sta t e o f a place called.llinckley, iii Leicestershire, and lie would ' I gigs indicated a comparative decrease in the manufacture of cloth, and a comparative diminution in the amount of wages. Taking into account the worsted and flax manufactures, he - felt justified in stating that the amount of wages paid in Leeds amounted to 200,000/ per annum less in 1841 than it had in 1835 and 1836. At that meeting a Committee had been appointed for the purpose of investigating the state of trade throughout the West Riding. Various questions bad been circulated throughout the Riding for that purpose, and a considerable portion of the details there collected had been hid before the public in a Report made by the Committee in the month of March last, to which he had taken the liberty of adverting. The first part of the Report ie hated to the deterioration of the rate of wages. There had been an average fall in the rate of wages of 20 per cent. in the }ears from 18e9 to 1841, as compared with the years from 1833 to 1835. But theie had net merely been a fall in the rate of wages, there had been a diminution in the amount of employ ment. The amount of employment had fallen off at least two fifths in the years 1839 and 1841, as compared with the years 1833 to 1835. So that, taking into account the fail in the rate of - wages, and the diminution in the amount of employment, the earn ings of the operatives were decreased at least fifty per cent. The real wages, therefore, taken home by the working man on Saturday night did not now amount to above one-half of what they did in 1835. He had in his possession a document to which he should hereafter allude, which brought out that statement most strikingly. Then with regard to the retail trades, the decreased consumption of butchers' meat had been accompanied by a corresponding decrease j in the consumption of articles of provision of every description, and grocers and provision dealers of all sorts, were rapidly sink ing. He would not touch upon the quest ion of the Poor-rates of Leeds, but he would merely allude to the comparative state of the Poor-rates in the village of Idle. Idle was an extensive parish. engaged principally in the manufacture of white cloths. , In 1839 the number of persons relieved, amounted to 1,57 4 , end the amount of money expended, was 938/. In 1840 the number relieved, was 2 ; 558, and the amount expended was s 1,7 1 6 n(. For - 1,4831. 3s. 2d. In 1841 the number relieved, was 3,098, anti tae the two amq7anrti ersexpended, expired w a of 8 3 4 / 2 . the :3 number re s. 9t d amounted to .2.508, and the ,um expended to 1,2871. 11s. 6d. The person from whom he had derived this infor illation stated in his letter, that the amount of pauperism could not be judged of by the number of persons relieved, because hitherto they had employed a great number of paupers upon the highways, and they had been relieved out of the highway rate. Nearly everything had been done to the highways that could be done, and when the highway work should be finished, he was at a loss to know what could he done with the poor. His informant concluded his letter by saying that, if some thing were not done, and dene seeedily, they must all perish, either by famine or by the sword, The same person had told him (Mr. Mint) he knew of cases, not of starvation, but of death front the consequence of insufficient sustenance, and such ewes would be frightfully prevalent throughout the destitute districts, unless something were speedily done for their relief. He would new contrastthe state of the export trade in 1841 as compared with 1835. He would read returns from the different villages. From Stangley it was two. thirds less ; from Erreck it was three-fourths less ; from Batley the export trade had nearly ceased ; and from Putsey the export trade to Portugal and all parts of Europe, was not one-fourth what it had been. These were not thestatements of individuals, but were statements passed &unanimously at meetings of the great body of the manufacturers held in each village. In his own opinion the export wool trade of Leeds with the Continent of Europe would in a few years entirely cease. The correspondents of the Leeds manufacturers were constantly stating that with regard to certain articles which they had hitherto been in the habit of getting from Leeds they could now get them cheaper on the Continent ; and an extensive manufacturer had told him that the wool trade, as far as the Prussian League was concerned, was passing to ex tinction and dying away. He would now allude to the depreciation of capital. There could be no mistake with regard to the process to which capital had been subjected, althaugh there might be as to the sweating process of gold, about which they had heard so much.—(Cheers.) He had some years since calculated the total capital employed in the woollen trade at 10,000,000/., of which 3,333,000/. was em ployed in the neighbourhood of Leeds. The capital of Leeds and its neighbourhood had been depreciated 33 per cent., and that loss had takes, place in the float ing capital, which rendered it the more embarrassing. With respect to the decline of the trade in woollen cloth of Leeds, he had found, last February, that 29 out of 209 billies were broken up since the year 1831 ; 34 were shut up ; 128 were making one-half or one-third time; and nine only were working full time. He knew also that since that time a farther decline of the trade had taken place. There was, he believed, a decline in the Leeds trade, since the year 1831, t o the amount of 500,000/. But it. might, perhaps, be said that trade had changed, and that although there WAS no longer the same consumption of woollen cloth there was a further demand for other articles.—( Hear.) It. appeared however, that no such increase hall taken place. The people of Huddersfield, and other districts, would tell them that their trade had shared in the general decline. The meeting would find that there was no increase in any commodity', the produce of oir manufactures. With reference to the employment of our woollen manufactures, he had stated in December last that if they looked to the whole number of gigs in Leeds, they would find them nearer to 400 than 300. He had reason to know That, out of the entire number, the average amount of labour amounted to no more than 2 3-sth days, instead of , 6 tiers per week. 'the consequent decrease in the payment of wori:men, arising from that diminished employment, amounted to 81,9841. per annum. There was also a falling off in the pal ments for finishing, amount ing to 163,000!. ; which made a total diniinution of wages in Leeds to the amount of 243.000/. in the Woollen trade alsne. There was further a decline in the worsted, flax, and machinery trade, which lie might set down at 5i0,09'31. more ; which would give 327,000/. as the diminu tion in the wages paid for the staple trade of Leeds. There were in addition many (Ater trades dependent upon that. which , acre not included in the calculation he had made. He be lieve; that the entire diminution might fairly be set down at 450,000!. instead of 327,000/. How then was it possible, while this was the case, to expect that the enormous ! amount of privation and misery which existed could be effectually met by begging letters—( Hear)—by poor-rates, or by the charitable contribu tions of individuals ? — ( Hear.) Ile I would say a few words with respect to the general state of trade and the condition of the operatives. He hail been for many years familiar with the condition of the working classes of Leeds. He had known something of their habits, their ap- , pearance. their expenditure, and their general style of living 10, 15, and '2O years ago. It was with pain he had observed r that within the last 18 months especially a great change had taken place in their condition, and even in their very looks. No man who knew the operatives of Leeds 15 years ago, while in the enjoyment of robust. health , could now meet iem without observing that privation and deep suffering were written in the very wrinkles of their countenances.—(Hear, hear. ) I He had met, the other day, a man who had formerly been in comfortable circumstances, but who had shared in the general reverses which had of late taken place, as his sorry appearance evinced. That man asked him whether he thought they could calculate on any alteration in the state of trade ; he replied that he thought not before Christmas. " 'Then," said the poor man, " I shall - be tinder the sod before the time conies round. I can assure you 1 have been two days together within the last three months without any food. i now feel that within me which tells me that, accustomed as I have been to live in comparative comfort, my daysshall be ended, if the hoer of re lief does not soon arrive." He (Mr. Plint) had beets much struck by those expressions ; and he believed they expressed the feelings of many of our operatives. 'there was a circumstance which would probably give some weight to his opinions respecting the inefficacy of any remedy which had as yet been devised to diminish the national distress, and which he should, therefore, mention to the meeting. Two or three months ago, on considering the measures brought forward by the Government, and the concessions they had made, lie had expressed an opinion that those measures would in their ultimate issue prove greatly beneficial to the country. lie believed at that time that the country would be enabled to get the vessel once more before the wind, and to bring her safe through the storm. But he now confessed that the resources of the country appeared to him to be so exhausted and so paralysed that no adequate remedy had yet been offered, I and that we we' never could expect to rally again unless some more effectual measures were taken than any that had yet been devised. The Corn-laws hail been so long continued, that I foreigners had been compelled to increase their manufactures ; and they were now determined on protecting them to the ex clusion of ours. No relaxation on our part would therefore be followed by a corresponding concession by foreign nations. That was the result of the insane policy which the Legislature of this country had so long pursued.—( Hear.) They should I look with infinite alarm to the hostile position which the two ' extreme classes of society in England had assumed. He saw upon the one hand the Legislature persisting in a course of po licy which could promote no interest but their own, while the deepest dissatisfaction prevailed among the people whose interests was sacrificed for the benefit of a class. He believed that if a collision were to take place, it would be one of the most fearful character—a collision between the oppressor and the op pressed—between those in power and those who suffered under their rule. There was further danger in the mistakes which pre vailed among the working classes relative to the manufacturers, and which a foul-mouthed man in the House of Commons had so •, insanely fostered. When Mr. Ferrand had brought for ward his fallacies in the House of Commons, with a view to show that the manufacturers were the op pressors of the people, the leading Minister of the Crown, who had himself avowed the principles of free trade, declined to stand up and indignantly rebuke the unmerited censures cast upon one of the most important classes of the community. The Prime Minister of England, forgetting that be occupied the place of a representative of the interests of the country at large, listened in silence to the charges of Mr. Ferrand.—(hear, hear.) There was much of danger to he apprehended from the feuds which ex isted between the different classes in this country. There was I a very striking parallel between the present state of society in England and the state of society in France prior to the French Revolution. 'There was this further circumstance to alarm the privileged classes in England, that the great mass of the operatives were enlightened as to their own rights and just in proportion to their enlightenment, and to their sense of the iniquities they had suffered, was danger to be ap prehended from their resentment of the wrongs they had endured. ' The middle classes did not stand between the two extremes of society, because sophism the most dangerous to the peace of society had been resorted to, for the purpose of feeding the animosity of the operatives against the class imme diately above them. The Prime Minister, so far from check ing, seemed to have countenanced those sophisms; and the result of those protteedings was, that a wide and dangerous breach had been effected between the different classes of the t omattnity.,—( Ch eers _ ) Mr. Jottlesoe, of Leeds,next proceeded to address the meet ing. It would be his business to call their attention more particularly to certain facts in reference to the operation of the Poor-law in the township of Leeds. It so happened that since the year 1825, he had been, with but little intermission,i a member of the Workhouse Board ; and he had thus the best n had e_ opport un ity o f b eco ming acquainted with the en c c o ral dit t ion l erms of , the working classes.

Such, however, was now the inereeses of applicants, that there were now two Boards ; they c. volniene 7 their meetings at nine o'clock in the morning, and . condom `d sitting till one; they resumed again at two, and self lem ten 'e their labours over before ten or eleven o'clock at night .- - (Hear, hear.) He would enter into a statement of the /mob a r of applicants, and of the amount of relief dispemsed cEarinee the three months, commencing on April 1, and endin g Ott '1 ,7 . June 30, front the year 1838 to the preseeet . •year. F 1 In the year 18:38 the number of applicants during esso ;three ' 1 months to which he had referred, applying for easual .seei Id, amounted t• 532, and the sum disbursed r their relief aas 1 768/. In the year 1839 the number of appliemoi s was 573, and the amount disbursed 708/. In tier' year 1840 the number was 626, and the amount of relief 822 E. In the year 1841 the number of applicants rose to 1,051, and the amount ...of relief to 1,1261.-(Hear, hear.) But during the quarter which had terminated on the 30th June last, the number of applicants amounted to 2,016, east the relief disi. burled to 2,1551.-(Hear, hear.) That was the state of things in the town of Leeds; aid he should observe, . that in stating the number of applicants, he alluded to the number of families, and that each family usually consisted, of course, of several individuals. -( Hear, hear. A great number of persons who had been hitherto relieved from other funds must, now, as those funds were exhausted, apply for relief to the parochial fusels, for they had no Leber means of existence. There was another class-a supereorr ! class of operatives-who, when employed, had been meking large wages, probably averaging 30s. a-week ; out of this sum they had been enabled to save something which supported' them when out of employment; but now they were so long without work, that their little savings had become. exhausted, and they had begun, for the purpose of providing the necessaries of life for their families, to sell their watches, and such articles of furniture as were not indis pensable to keep house. A considerable number of those j would now have to apply to , the overseers for re li e f. A n opera tine, whose business was that of a wool-sorter, and who had I been formerly employed in one of the first manufacturing houees i in Leeds, had called on him (Nr. Johnston) and stated that. he bad three or four full-grown so as-that nothing could give him more pain than the visit he was ehert obliged to make-ante that the greatest boon that could 'ie conferred on him, would be the furnishing him w;th the means of emigrating with his family to America. Susiewas the general it feeling among those classes-a feeling of the e•reotest pain and humiliation at being compelled to make those .applications. There was a general diminution of employment in every ,de partment of manufacturing-in the flax, woollen, and iron us a nufacturing establishments. From the period to which he ha, 1 referred, the year 1825, up to the present time, great merest' the opportunities lie had of becoming acquainted with des feel-. ings of the pour, and intimate as was his knowledge tee' those feelings, he had never been cognizant of anything like the despondency . which he found tes prevail at the present time among those classes of the people.. Speaking to him (Mr. Johnson). on this subject, a poor mate observed that whatever turned up hereafter, it could not he worse than the present state of things. What, he would ask. would be the consequence if such feelings should spread among the poorer orders of the community? They vrould not, he knew, eontemplateanythinglaseevil of themselves; on the et n trary, they bore their sufferings with the most exemplary patience. But when men saw their families starving, void of sny hope for the future, was it not to be feared that wicked inert would avail themselves of the state of those poor people's minds, for the purpose of inflaming them, and urging them to violation of the law ? All the working classes were agreedehat there: was no ray of hope perceptible in the future, and he was convinced that, unless the Legislature devised some remedy, the couastry • would have reason to shudder at the consequences. • Mr. WHITEIIEAD, of Leeds, next addressed the meeting'. He said he might perhaps be allowed to say a few words on tha subject touched on by his friend Sir. Johnson, because that gentleman had not sufficiently explained the condition of the. poor. That gentleman had only mentioned the casual CUM of distress; he had not mentioned those who continually re ceived relief-the morning recipients as they were called.. Besides, he had only adverted to one township in Leeds, whie'e contained eleven townships. The number therefore of recipients, of relief was much greater than might be supposed from the, statements of Mr. Johnson. He (Mr. Whitehead) mentioned this to account for the statement of a previous speaker, who had mentioned the distressed poor as being exceedingly mime ' roes. The overseers at the present period paid 1,0001. pet month in relief, and the amount of " leakage' was more there double the present year than what it had amounted to in former years. Ile would explain what was meant by " leakage." All the property in the town was rated, as they all knew for the relief of the poor. A portion of the property that was unoccupied did not pay any rates, and a numerous class of persons were exempt from the pay ment of rates on account of their poverty. 'those none-par ments constituted what they termed " leakage." 'l'be amoune of this leakage was about thirteen per cent. ; for the present year it would be twenty-six per cent. Thus the fund which was to supply the means of relieving the poor would be in the present year diminished by a sum double that which formed the diminution of former years.-( Hear, hear.) Having said so much, he would, with their permission, say a. little respecting the order to which he belonged, being de sirous, like many others, to stand by his order.-( Loud cheers. ) In the first place, he might be allowed to state that there had been a meeting of shopkeepers in the township of Leeds-a meettne * different, perhaps, from any hitherto held in the king. kom. He was one of the four individuals who had originatd that meeting.-( Hear, hear.) He would not lend his hand to make it a party proceeding ; he told them that the proceedings should be general and stamped with the highest. authority, and then he would lend them his aid, and do all in power to assist them. There were two Conservatives and two Liberals.-( Cheers.) He would not go to his own friends far signatures, unless he first got the Conservatives to sign. By such means the requisition was signed by IS Conservatives and 15 Liberals.-(Cheers) He was not enabled of his own know ledge to state the proportion of Conservatives to the Liberals. The requisition was signed by 216 persons, who were all known in the boruugh. He should say that at least two-fifths of them were Conservatives - ( Cheers) - and in three weeks they must have been known to the Conservative Members for the borough. He had never wit nessed such a meeting before. Every one of the resolutions were carried unanimously, with the exception of one, as a hand, was held up against petitioning both Houses of Parlia ment, as bethought it was in vain to pet ition.-( A laugh and cheers. ) That was the only dissentient voice they had ; there lore the statements he would lay before them were stamped es ith the highest authority. 'they did not come front the ca lilinniated Anti.Curn-law League.-( Laughter. ) They dhl not come from those violent Radicals, of whom they called him one, but front all elassee and all parties. -( Loud cheers. ) He would proceed to lay before the meeting some of the statements laid before that meeting. His own trade was that of a tea stealer, which was all insignificant trade.-( A laugh.) But the trade to which he was about to allude, was the grocery trade. He took the case of the grocers in Leeds, ant he would divide them inio two classes, these who paid high rents. high rates, and occupied pre mises in the front streets of the townships, and those who lived in the suburb: of the former:: it was a well known fact, and which would scent extraordinary, nut less than sixty had failed during the last ten years, the greater portion having failed during the last. three years. tic was quite certain that not. more than 11 or 12 persons were time- in business who were in business 10 years agu. only live had retired front business during that period, and of those five he would take one of the most careful, one wilts understood his business well. He was at present a member of the town-council. He hail eaten the bread of care fitness, and he declared that for some years beforehe retired from business he had lost 2001. a year. He would then take the second class of tradesmen, namely, the shopkeepers residing in the suburbs. It was a lamentable thing to seethe condition in which they were placed. Not less than 400 of them had failed in the thue he had mentioned, and not one had retired from business. He could state on the authority of many oft hem no, he could not say many of them in proportion to the whole number, but of five or six-that they could not support themselves by their business, if they had not other property besides. Now if these men were to be credited, no one could doubt bow much worse must be the great mass ofthose who actually depended on their credit for their trade. It was not to be attributed to ex traordinary competition. He had seen eleven tradesmen, and they told him that three years ago they received 570/. a-week in their retail business, and now they only received 277/,,- ( fleas. hear, hear.) He would just allude to what had fallen from Mr. Johnson regarding tea. It was well known that females had a great prefeliction for tea, but it was an unfortunate thing to see able-bodied men obliged to take one cup of weak tea, instead of a substautial meal.-( Hear, hear, hear.) They were not to judge of the consumption of food by the revenue, for many families did not know the taste of meat. He say a great deal about. the butchers, but it would be useless. lie had called upon a butcher in Leeds to propose one of the resolutions at the meets ing to which he had alluded, but he said he would not : arid upon his asking his reason:, he said that if lie spoke he should tell a straightforward matter-of-fact tale, which not one out of tea weeld believe: He said, "lam a man of pro perty ; if I tell you I am not living by my business, you will hot believe me ; yet at the present mo ment I am not living by my business, and were it nut for the property I possess 1 should be obliged to foil as others have done." --e Loud cheers.) lie went to another butcher, and he said that during the last four years he had lost 5001. by his retail trade. He had had no particular losses. He sitid tie thought he would do best if he went out of business, and live upon what he had, than to keep on his bttsiness. This was a most industrious man. and always paid cash for his stock, therefore he tool him as a criterion, and an authority which he relied upon. Ile further said that he would let his shop it be could get the amount of his fixtures. He vrotdd neat take the shoe-deal ers, for the first article of clothes that would be required by a pet on who could afford any at all, was shoes. One of these dealers had told him that he used to take 80/., where he now only took 40/. He had consulted six shoemakers who, two years ago, employed 104 men, and they now employed 33 men and one boy. Ile would then make a few remarks respecting the drapers, thee had suffered more than almost auv other class. He believedthat there were but few drapers. not mei; of property, who were able to carry on their business. The hatters declared that their receipts were diminished one-half. Several of them, at, the meeting to which lie s had referred, had declared that thee could not carry on their business, not in the most economical manner. The bookseller and newspaper proprietors were also suffering from this distress. One fact he would mention of a gentleman who kept a shop in Briggate, the principal street in the town, who stated that six months age he sold fifty dozer: a week more of penny publications, such as Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, than he did at present.. The state of things was such as it was impossible to describe. The rates and taxes were enormous. In many cases the rents had been reduced front 30 to 40 per cent. within the last four months. He might detain them at much greater length on this subject, but he feared that his statements had already been tedious.-( No, no.) But he now wished to make a few ob servations respecting the peculiar position in which the ship owners of this country were placed. It might not be generally . known to the meeting that the tea dealers of the United King-- shorn amounted to 100,e0), that. number including every () a ti l t; who took out a license to sell tea. , i f the y included the other shopkeepers at another 100,0(X), n , who were in et and allowed seven to each family, they then had 1,400,00 0 . fair way of being reduced to a state k ( a d s d oe P s 7 y i s t o ti d t id io , n ,, a h n l d w po er v e cr i t l y o . t.
