The object of the promoters of this undertaking is to sup ply the inhabitants of the metropolis and its vicinity with that most important desideratum—a plentilnl supply of water of the purest description. The plan proposed for attaining this important object is that which was submitted by Mr. Paten to the consideration of the Committee of the House of Lords, in the session of 1840. Its practicability has been fully tested by extensive experiments made by Mr. Robert Stephenson, which most satisfactorily set at rest all doubts of the eligibility of the project : it is, there fore, the intention of the promoters to apply to Parliament this session for the necessary powers to enable them to carry into effect an object so important to the public welfare. The proportion of the western metropolitan district, which it is intended first to supply, comprises 70,000 houses; and it is estimated that within the first two years the occupiers of 25,000 houses will avail themselves of the advantages offered by this undertaking. Taking this very limited number of houses at an average low rental of 21. per house, the income derivable will be 50,0001., and after deducting the annual ex pense attendant on such a supply—which has been carefully es t►mated at 14,0001.—wi1l leave an available annnal income of 36,0001.

The Delegates from the different Anti-Corn-law Societies composing the great Anti-Corn-law League of the United Kingdom, held their first Conference yesterday morning, in the large loom of the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand. The Delegates began to arrive shortly after ten o'clock; but al though the meeting was advertised for half-past ten o'clock, it was half-Fast eleven before the proceedings commenced. Chair.

The required capital, according to the careful estimate of Mr. Stephenson, and which he is satisfied, from his intimate know ledge of the ground, will not be exceeded, is 230,0001., and the necessary cost of laying down the mains and services to supply the 25,000 houses before named is 160,0001., making a total outlay of 390,000/. Assuming, therefore, the capital to be expended at 400,0001., the return to the Proprietors will he an interest of 9/. per cent. on the capital ; and having de frayed the expense of bringing the water to London, every additional supply, both to houses along the line and in the me tropolis, beyond that estimated above, will add to the interest of the invested capital. The Vestrymen, Guardians, and Directors of the Parishes of the Borough of Marylebone. and also those of the Parish of St. Pancras, have earnestly recommended the inhabitants " to promote, by every means in their power, this laudable under taking, so pregnant with the highest advantages to the corn munity Applications for Shares may be made to Messrs.

The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact i n in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by . perusing this work; be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to att ac k any of his young charges, what the real causes of such a tt ac k may be, 444 thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its ineiplent state, The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are snre to follow from them if na •• 11 ' ' AN„ r i: Cr RTIS and CO. are to be c onsu l ted daily at their residence, Ni. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. and occupation in Country Pitients are requested to be as mintite .4s - possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of livin g, / 495 Which no notice 'do a tie party ; the cemmpication must be accompanied by * Consultation ef . 9f , whatever can be tskep pf the 7 911licapp ii ; Vit4iP all cases, the not iwdelablo learsol kligd QR.

Thompson, Mr. Boultbee, Mr. Ashworth, Mr. Heyworth, Mr. Joseph Sturge, Rev. Dr. Pye Smith, Mr. Muntz, M.P., Birmingham, Mr. Prentice, &c. Mr. ASHWORTH proposed the appointment of the Finance Committee. The Rev. J. SPENCE, of Hinton, near Bath, i n secon di ng the motion, said he would, with the leave of the Chairman, ad dress a few words to the meeting instead of merely confining himself to seconding the motion. He would not take up their time by urging of the i epeal of the Corn 4aws, as he took it for granted that all the gentlemen present had made up their minds that the present state of distress - was mainly owing to the ope ration of the Corn-laws, in diminishing trade, and lessening the supply of food. Wheat on the Continent could be pur. chased for 20e. a quarter, and yet with such a supply within our reach our people were suffered to perish of hunger. They were suffering from want of employment; they would fain earn their living honestly by their industry, but they were prevented from doing so by the Corn law monopoly. The foreigner who possessed this corn said, " If you will take our wheat, we will take all the goods you have in Manchester. We want these goods, but we have no money ; we can only pay you in what we have —food ;" and the Corn-laws prevented us from the taking their food. He had been on the spot, and knew that these people had no money to send; and when they asked us to take what they had to send in exchange for our manufactures, we said " No." Now those who would not accept the only terms . on which employ.. ment could be given to our labouring classes, in effect said the poor shall have no employment—they shall have no money— they shall not have food—they shall not have the means of living honestly, they shalldie, beg, become paupers, or , steal.—( Hear, hear.) There was one point, however, to which he was de.. sirous of directing their attention, and that was the state of the agricultural districts.—( Hear, hear.) He had considerable experience of the state of those districts from the state of his own parish. He had recently attended a large meeting at Southampton—he had afterwards read a long account of the meeting in the Times Newspaper, and he would take upon himself to say that scarcely one word in that account was true. He eras fully aware of the deep distress existing in the agri cultural districts, from the state of the labourers in his own parish. Had it not been for the operation of the allotment system, he knew not how the poor labourers could have subsisted during the bad weather. He had asked the shopkeepers in the neighbourhood how the poor people were off, and they all re plied that they had never known such a winter. Not only was bread dear,' but every other article of consumption had risen in price in proportion. The shopkeepers had told him that they had sold the loaf for 5d., and the same sized loaf now sold for 10d. When the loaf was at 5d., cheese was 4id. a lb. ; now the loaf was 10d., cheese had risen to 10d. a lb. also. Bacon, which was sd. a lb. when the loaf was 5d., was now 10d. a lb. ; so that as bread doubled in price, bacon and cheese doubled in price also. The shopkeepers said that it was almost dangerous to sell these thinga.—( Hear.) The wages of the agricultural labourers were 9s. a week, and in many instances only Bs. On wet days the agricultural labourer only received half-pay, so that during a wet week his wages only amounted to 4s. fid.—( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Spence) knew of farmers having 300 acres of land each, who had not-, for six weeks toge ther during this winter, more than one man employed on their farms. That was pretty generally the state of things in his own parish of Hinton, and %%hat had happened there occurred in other parAe , . Such a state of things arose from the distress which existed in the manufacturing districts. Much had been said respecting the Conference at Manchester. Of that assem bly he must say that it commanded the respect and reverence of all save those whose own selfish interests were involved in an unjust opposition to the objects which it advocated. He (Mr. Spence) had taken the trouble to ascertain the sentiments of people of all classes on the important subject of the. Corn-laws, and he found that at least two-thirds of the individuals whom he addressed on the matter were in favour of a repeal of the present system. In his own parish, out of 144 of its inhabitants 96, at least, were i n f avour of free tra d e. M any who had been opposed to r epea l of the Corn-laws ha d , he found, altered their minds on t h e su bj ect. Those peop l e, most of whom were farmers, said th at they had been deceived on the question—that they were told it was a farmer's question, and not one having reference to all classes of the community— that a fixed due, of Bs. would be ruinous to them. Well, what did those people now say? Wh y, that they found they could be easily worse off b y any of the plans proposes!, than they could by a fixed duty—that, according as they got a high price for their wh eat, so did their rent become higher, and that consequently they derived no benefit from getting a good price for their wheat. It was stated, some short time ago, that if the Corn-laws were repealed, the land should go to the devil.—( Laughter.) That was a fallacy. It would be found that their principle s were the best for the ma nufacturer and the operative, the farmer and 'the labourer. Nay, before long, it would be se e h, too, that their principles were beat for the landlords th emse l ves. Those who sought the repeal of those mischievous laws would never consent that the land should go to the devil. But there was no fear of such a some time past, that a C on f erence of die d i str i cts of result.—( Hear, hear, hear.) I t was thought desirable, Hampshire, Dorset, the Isle of Wight, and other places in the south, should be held at Southampton. A meet ing of Delegates from those districts was accordingly convened at that place. It was very numerously attended by persons anxious to hear the statements of the D elegates. But there was in the neighbourhood a landed gentry who thought it not conducive to their interests that those statements should get abroad. They accordingly hired 200 or 300 men, at 2s. a day, to enter the assembly, and, standing in front of the platform, to perform one single service. And what did they think that service was? Was it one that required talents or ability ? No ; far from it. The business those men were hired for was to make a great noise; to interrupt as much as possible the proceedings of the meeting. That was the duty imposed on them by the landed gentry, and well did they perform their duty. Would that every man in the kingdom would so well discharge his duty as (lid those misguided hire lings. The Earl of Radnor presided at that Conference in Southampton, and nothing could be more desirable than that the sentiments and language of that Noble Lord on that occasion should have got abroad ; but the hireling disturbers continued their diabolical uproar for two hours and a half, and com pletely prevented the hearing of a single word. The as sembly was therefore dissolved. The Delegates then went in a body to the Magistrates and Mayor of the town, they represented to those gentlemen that the people of Southampton paid heavy rates for the protection of person and property, and that they ( the Delegates) expecting that they would be disturbed wherever they assembled in the town, claimed, in conjunction with the towns-people, the protection to which they were entitled. But what was the- reply of the Magistrates? Why, that if they (the Delegates) expected disturbance they might avoid it by not assembling—hy not going to the meeting. There wee logic. If they feared danger let them shut, them selves up in their houses and thy, would avoid it. There also it was agreed that Mr. Thompson should deliver in Southampton a lecture on the subject of the Corn-laws. On that occasion several thousand persons assembled, and such was the feeling of the towns Teeple that they would have risen in defence of the Delegate if it had been required. At the meeting in the York Hotel a resolution was come to for the thev,o,sewnetr.h.adi l a .ia,ime s ettiet 1 1 t a nh P te P st r oy e e h o e rr n ke d , e t r d i e t that kin o i f t accordingly !I to was passed. purpose of setting the pnblia right adsist:o.eartbhhientte etieuearatsesrerafrboimys which the disturbance proceeded.

It was well known that there was a splendid demonstration, called the Anti- Corn-law Bazair, and that as large a sum as 8,000/. had been collected there.—( Loud cheers.) But the Bazaar was not yet closed. He was happy to say, on the contrary, that the in terest about it had not diminished. The greatest portion of this sum was collected from those who lived within 100 miles of Manchester, and it was supposed that their were members of other towns who would contribute their shares to the Bazaar.—( Cheers.) It was proposed that it should not close till they had sent in their donations. But it might be asked what was the object of this money to men who drove the Whigs to a fixed duty, and Sir Robert Peel to abandon the sliding scale.—( Hear, hear.) They should recollect that there were two parties only ruling in the House of Commons, who scarcely ever supposed that the re was any other party besides themselves.--( Hear. ) The contest between them was, whether there was to be a fixed duty or not, but it altogether slipped from their minds that there was a still larger party than either, who insisted that there should be no duty at all.—(Cheers.) Those parties were contending for half measures, but they would be shown by the people, and the determined frontythey would assume, that nothing short of an entire and complete abolition of these obnoxious laws would satisfy them.--( Cheers. ) The following gentlemen were then unanimously appointed to serve as the Finance Committee :—William Rawson, Elka nah Armitage, Hamer Stansfield, Edward Evans, Samuel Lees, and Aytoun, Esqs. The CHAIRMAN said, that as what they had done up to the present time was only preliminary, the real business of the meeting was now to begin.--( Hear, hear). The arrangements and resolutions were to be prepared by a Committee. The Executive Committee were preparing resolutions, and they had retired to consider the steps they were to take. The resolu tions would now be moved and seconded by the various persons appointed for that purpose. Having thus explained the mode in which the business had been conducted, he might be allowed to say a few words by way of introduction.—( Hear, hear, hear. ) The last speaker had observed that nothing would be satis factory less than a total repeal of the Corn-laws. In the jus tice of that observation he most fully coincided. He fully participated in the sentiment that they should go right forward to attain that object, and that alone.—( Cheers.) That they should not es ti mate the merit of the sliding scale or a fixed duty, and decide between them, but that they should re pudiate all compromise in a cause where all_ justice was on their side, and in which no modification could be made, without leaving the germ of evil behind.—(Cheers.) They should make no taxes on food the rule of their conduct.— ( Hear, hear.) These were the sentiments which were all but universal in Scotland.—( Hear, hear.) They were the senti ments of those whom he was sent to represent.—( Hear, hear. ) They were the sentiments of the Edinburgh Convention and the Committee that managed the business of the League there. They were the sentiments which he was instructed to enforce, and he had no doubt they would be borne to a successful termina tion. He should, therefore, intreat, that in all observations which might fall from the speakers that should be their great theme they should remember that that was the fundamental principle on which the League was constituted. On that principle they were going right forward, and they were now assembled to do their best to promote that grand object.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) Consisting, as they did, of all sections of political and religious principles, they should adhere to that one point, disregarding all others, and they should endeavour to impress on their friends in Parlia ment—the Liberal Members who had given them some assist ance—that they were serious in considering this as a great moral question, from the agitation of which they would never depart. —( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Not that they were wavering between the merits of a moderate fixed duty and a sliding scale, but that they fought only for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-law.—(Cheers,) Let their friends in Parliament know this, and that they could only expect the support of the; members of this Conference upon those grounds. Those were his, (the Chairman's) views, and he was sure they were the views which would be unani -1 mously adopted by the members of this meeting; and if they ' were, he for one, did not fear ,but that public opinion properly expressed would overcome every opposition.—( Great applause. ) Mr. BRIGHT, from Rochdale, could not but acknowledge that he came forward with feelings of considerable anxiety and trepidation, only relieved, h owever, f rom a consideration that anything which ought to be said, which he might omit to say, would be more than made up by the speakers who were to fol low.—( Hear.) He felt this anxiety from the great, momen tous importance of the subject whi c h th ey h ad met to debate on. li e came from a neighbourhood where this question was looked on as one of life and death by thousands of honest men, and if there were any in that room, as there were many who had no conception of the state of things to which this country was fast hastening under these mischievous laws, he should like them to go with him into the streets and lanes where he could take them, and, if they had any intellect, any heart, he was sure they would go away fully convinced of the necessity of the total and immediate re peal of those laws.--( Loud cheers.) Such being his opinion, he should not be doing his duty at this Conference if he did not do his utmost to obtain the desideratum for which they la boured ; and if they went away without having performed their duties, they would go away guilty of the sin of having neglected the best interests of the country.—( Hear, hear. ) Ile had a resolution to propose to the meeting, but before pro posing that, he would, with their permission, read a short reso lution passed at a former meeting, held at Rochdale on the Ist of February, appointing him as Delegate to this Conference. That resolution was as follows :—" Resolved unanimously, That the deputation from this Association be instructed to op pose the Corn-laws as a cruel oppression, inflicting grievous evils on the great bulk of our population, as contrary to the most obvibus requirements of morality and religion, and a wrong of so odious a nature, as to make it inperatively n. - eessary to insist on its total and immediate abolition." A number of speeches were made at that meeting, and he dared not go back to Rochdale unless he had acted up to that docu ment, such was the feeling there for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Loud cheers.) The resolution which he now had to propose to the meeting was as follows: " That in the opinion of the Deputies present, representing associations, public meetings, and religious congregations in vat ions parts of the kingdom, the Corn and Provision-laws vio late the national and inalienable rights of man—the right freely to exchange the produce of his labour for the food of all other countries, impiously obstructing the circulation of the bounties designed by Divine Providence for the benefit of all his creatures. That the aim of this monopoly of the first necessaries of life is to enhance the price of the produce of the soil of this country, thus necessarily inflicting severe ' privations especially upon the poo res t p or ti on o t h e corn munity. That these laws in their operation not only ex pose the labouring dais to the physical evils of hunger, dim ase, and even premature death ; but they war against their eternal interests by increasing the temptations to crime and immorality, rendering them less accessible to the influence of religion. That in denouncing the Corn and Provision-laws as a great national sin, the Deputies express their own deliberate consideration, and that of a vast portion of their countrymen, that those laws should be immediately and totally abolished, and the Deputies constituting this meet, ing, pledge themselves never to swerve from their purpose, or relax in their efforts until that object be accomplished."— ( Tremendous cheering and waving of hats.) This reso lution said that the Corn-laws violated the natural and inalienable rights of man to exchange the pro duce of his labour for the produce of other coun tries. It appeared to him that in this country there had been an entire forgetfulness of the rights of the labouring classes, in the Legislature. The time was coming when they would compel the landowning legislators to look over the principles on , which they had legislated, to see if there were , any reason why pauperism should exist in a country which Providence had blessed with inward resources, unparalleled in other lands.—( Loud cheers.) When be looked at the title by which landed proprietors held their land, he did not desire to dispute their title, but he did not approve of the rights, which they a ssume d t o t h emse l ves i n consequence of th,e4 possessions.._( Hear hear.) He did no t say a man siNuldi not do as he liked w ith his own, but there was a heixndary, beyond which a landowner could not go. If a Lord or a Duke had a large estate—as many of them had, and' very thankful they ought to be for it—( Cheers 4nel laughter)—he could not allow it to lay fallow ; he could not say that no plough henceforth or for ever should pass over those acres ; because there was a right which society possesses, which comes before the right even of the landowners.—(Loud cheers.) P i e, kad, only mentioned this to show that there was a, Ipn,it to the rights which they assumed. There was., however, an other property in this country—labour , —(Cheers.) If a man had made any article by his own ingenuity, no matter what it was, that man had an absolute eontroul over the pro duce of his labour; and under no circumstances had Govern ment a right to say that he should. not do what he pleased with the produce of his labour.

B.! s ) opinion., t h at ,t.leAk waif. more ab solutely that man's property thin an, laud could - become the prop er ty o f any mar {.—( Loud cheers.) If that man then, went over io Anteriea, where his brother, perhaps, might have been tilling the land, and had produced a number of sacks of flow., they were undoubtedly the property of that Anglo-American, and he. (Mr. B.) could see no reason ; : whatever why an interchange of those two, pr4erties should not take place.—( Hear, hear, atld, chop.) If the Englishman and the American, witesk to, eNehange wh a t be longed to e ac h o th er, an d they rnaile the exchange, he held that the flour wal)thola i s nAtte.► the property of the Englishman, and he iiid. as entire ; right to dispose of it as any landowner had to hit acres.—( Loud ch eers .) S eeing that then to be lust, why should they have a law to say that he should not eaxz ;t home for the consumption of his wve and children ) , what he is bound to cherish and support? He was, persuaded that no man, of whatever party, could say that such a thing was just; and that was one p C t h e brat principles on which the resolution was foended, and which had from its object, the providing of cheap bfead and meat to the hundre*, and thousands of their fellow -creatures. They setkl look at the state of society throughout the. ee,uu-, try, from the Monarch down the squirearchy, ttn4 tck the very poorest classes of the people; see whatthotated famine is—see what a deplorable condition the ley‘,4..r.etasses of the people are in, The aristocracy and th,7, siuwearehy feel nothing of VaaA famine.

If the home trade 'it,uns was Looked to would it not be seen that the Corn-laws had a most fatal effect upon them ? If the foreign trade was considered, it would be found that it was almost entirely ruined by the operation of those laws.— ( Hear.) As an instance of their effects upon the foreign trade of this country, he (Mr. Bright) would just state one fact : Up to 1828 the whole of the flannel made in the neighbourhood in which he lived was exported to the United States of Ame rica; but in 1828 a very high scale of duty was imposed by the Government of America upon the flannels imported there, and accordingly the consumption of that article was considerably j diminished, and the employment given to the weavers of that part of the country, where flannel was the principal article of manufacture, was also diminished. That produced a most ex asperated feeling in this country. Mr. Addington, the Ameri can Minister, wrote to the Minister of England of that day, to inform him of the state of feeling in that country with respect to the duty imposed upon its agricultural produce, and ex plained that the reason such a high scale of duty was imposed upon English flannel, was, because there was a very heavy duty on the produce of America.—( Hear, hear.) The Corn laws were the cause of the high duty imposed on English flannel. —( Hear, hear.) In 1828, the weavers in his (Mr. Bright's) neighlaaorhood had good wages and constant employ insist, because the duties on flannels, the principal article of manufacture, were low. In 1828, the duty was imposed—the employment of the poor tradesmen was accordingly discontinued ; the result was, a great many industrious, honest men were obliged to emigrate from that neighbourhood and go to America, where they could find the means of employment, which they would have had at home were it not for those laws. —( Hear.) Those honest, industrious men, who could have lived at home in comfort and happiness, were driven to seek a living in a foreign land—were s u bj ec t e d to a species of p un i s h ment , and liged to undergo banishment for the purpose of procuring the common necessaries of life, He (Mr. B.) had a relative in the United States of America. He was 'a large manufacturer of flannel, and lived within about 15 miles from Philadelphia. Almost all his labourers and tradesmen came from his (Mr. B.'s)neighbourhood, where those poor men had formerly procured abundance of employment before the imposition of the duty on flannel, and who would continued to have employment were it not for the operation of the Corn.law. These people were driven in large numbers from their native country. He (Mr. Bright) would just read what the cele brated Milton said upon such a state of things as that :—" Let the astrologer be dismayed at the portentous blaze of comets and impressions in the air, as foretelling troubles and changes to States ; I shall believe there cannot be a more ill-boding sign to a nation (God turn the evil from us) than when the inhabitants, to avoid insufferable grievances at home, are forced by heaps to forsake their native country. "—( Hear.) There were thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of the people. of this country looking forward to the result of this day's pro ceedings, anxiously waiting to see the resolutions adopted at this Conference, and the effect those resolutions would produce upon the country and the Parliament.—( Hear. ) He believed the Parliament most miserably deceived themselves, or were greatly deluded, if they thought for a moment that the Dele gates who composed that meeting, assembled there to ask for a total repeal of the Corn-laws, in order by asking for a great deal they might get something or othter, and that the country would be content. No. The people would not be content with anything short of the total abolition of the Corn-laws.— (Cheers.) He (Mr. Bright) would tell the Parliament that the Delegates came to that meeting with much higher objects —they had assembled there for the accomplishment of much greater measures—they stood upon a sounder basis than de perefing upon any party whatever; and if he knew anything of the temper of the country, he could say that he was firmly con vinced that no man dared stand up in any meeting through out England and advocate anything like a sliding scale. He knew every part of England, for he had attended a vast number of meetings in England, and he knew the feeling upon the subject of the Corn-laws well enough to enable him to say, that nothing like a sliding scale would be sanctioned or ap proved of.—(Cheers.) He was an advocate for a fixed duty, but it was not upon corn.—( Laughter.) He was an advocate for a fixed duty upon every man's mind who had come as a de legate to that meeting, to do his duty zealously, and never abandon it till he accomplished the objects which they all had in view. —(Loud cheers.) After again adverting to the dis. tressed condition of the poorer classes, Mr. Bright proceeded to say that though they had raised a clamour throughout the ma nufacturing districts of England, it should not be supposed that poverty and famine did not also exist amongst the agricultu ral classes, for in fact it was much greater, if possi ble, amongst the agricultural classes than it was tn the manufacturing districts.—( Hear, hear.) The agricultural po pulation did not live in crowds as the manufacturing classes did, and consequently the effects of the Corn-laws were not so generally talked over amongst them as they were amongst the manufacturing people. However their effects were gene rally known and felt throughout the entire land, and the people entertained but one opinion that they should he totally and immediately abolished.—( Loud cheers.) Tke misery and wretchedness created by the Corn-laws was spread all over the country, though the same amount of misery might not offend the eyes in alliparts. One beggar might not be seen, for instance, by a person p ass i ng t h roug h a part i cu l ar district of England ; 'but that was no proof of the condition of the people. Then what was the vast accumulation of misery and poverty in the mendicities and poor-houses ?—for instance if the meeting saw the mass of squalid poverty in the mendicity of Dublin, would it,not he a test of the miserable condition of the people there? That meeting had an important duty to perform, and he hoped they would zealously do it.—( Cheers.) He was sure they would.—(Loud cheers.) The people of the country were in danger, they should take the advice of the celebrated Edmund Burke, who said—‘ , Where there is abuse there ought to be clamour—it is much better to be aroused from our slumbers by the fire-bell than to perish by the fire in our beds." It was for that purpose that he (Mr. Bright) had come up to London to hold up his hand in favour of the resolutions adopted by that meeting, and for the total and unqualified abolition of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) There was too much reason to fear that the House of Commons would not do justice to the oppressed and fettered people of this country.—( Hear, hear.) Look at the resolution he had read, and ask yourselves, did not the system it described oppress the people ?—(Cheers.) Was it not a violation of the rights of man ?—( Cheers.) Was it not a fetter on industry ? Was it not. this law that hindered the working man from get ting an honest living by his labour ?—(Cheers. ) He had , machinery, buildings, and some capital, which did not much increase under this law, and he knew a number of men whom, but for it, he couid employ at good wages, and who could earn a good living under him. His ca-e was the case of hundreds on the one side, and of myriads on the other. It was clear then that the law which was called a pro tection, was in reality an oppression ; and it ought, therefore, to be swept away forthwith.—(Cheers.) The resolution showed that the law impoverished the people, and in so doing der, to _ ralized them. It might be the will of Provid ence fr o strike down a man with affliction—such as afflicted Job e- r old, and ';t the person ; such sufferings might be intended for the good '; t people that but it could never be for the good of a they should be . trodden down with affl i 'ctions and privations . condition must tend to laid on by their fellovv-men, for such r their demoralization, as it was une.restionable that p auper i sm was destructive to the fabric of Society.—( Hear, hear.) Ti me state of feeling in the country was such as to call for the anxious investigation of every man in authority. No Earl or Duke should think himself groat enough to shrink from the examination. It was a fact, that in his (Mr. Bright's) neigh bourood not a working man would raise a finger in defence of those institutions which we had long been taught to regard as invaluable to the country-_( Hear.) The people were divided into two parties —nn one side was a multitude suffering and hopeless—on the other side a vast mass suffering also, but vindictive and reve7,geful; and if these passions were once to burst forth th.-„re was no telling who or what would he safe. He would till the landlords who, under the sanction of the general system, usurped the right that Heaven gave to all, that if they did not take warning in time, they would soon fall a saerihce to the Corn-law s ; and to the false principles which upheld it.—( Hear, hear.) There was not a single estate in England, however extensive, that three years hence, :would be worth sixpence to its owner under the present law ; but universal destitution would over spread the country—the paupers, like locusts, would eat up every green thing ; and, as they must be maintained, nothing would be left to pay the rents.__( Hear, hear, and cheers.) That must be the consequence, for no individual or nation could prosper on principles such as were embodied in the present Corn-laws. Wherever they looked they would see it grinding down hundreds of thou sands of people by the most horrible oppression. This was what he had found., and in thus describing it, and in thus demanding its r.,:oolition, he affi rme d t h at he and his brother delegates more truly represented the sentiments of the country than did certain Hon. Members, who were called tlke representatives of the people, in another place.— (Laughter.) Let the present, representives then consider well t)s,eir duty, Let them remember that their duty was to demand ' the unconditional repeal of the Corn-laws. If they could not obtain that, they must return to those who had sent them hither, and declare to them that the Parliament of England way insensible to the call of justice—insensible to the cries of suffering yet innocent millions—and that the people must re double their efforts if they meant to strike down the present Insulting and cruel mockery oflegislation.—( Vehement cheers.) Dr, Pa'a SMITH considered it a great happiness and honour to second the resolution, which was in itself a demonstration.-- ( Hear, hear.) He was astonished that most respectable, ami able, and even pions persons should shelter themselves from the demand of justice, which was the demand of a repeal of the Corn-laws, under the most flimsy sophistries. Some said that this was a most difficult question—that there were two sides —and that much might be said upon each.-- (Laughter.) But ho wat4l remind these people that every midnight robbermight say the same for himself, he might say that it was expedient and necessary , to his comfort that he should prey upon the country.---(Loud cheers.) Other people would hear no reason at all. But before the present audience he need not speak at length, for he felt sure that every man in that room had a strong sense of the obligations that were imposed on him in the face nf God and man, and knew that he must be indefa tip)* i,tk exerting every means he could devise to diffuse a right knowledge, and to excite a right opinion amongst all classes on the subject.—( Hear, heat, and cheers.) Tliev were assembled there as servants, by profession, of the living God —of the Lord of all righteousness —of ',ne God who loveth righteousness, and setteth his face a,gainst ini- Lear, and cheer s .) If there were any truth in religinn.,..if there were an imperishable, principle in virtue and vprality—he was convinced of the essential wickedness of law which they were met there to attack.—(Cheers.) Persons who, wrappitsg themselves in ignorance, could refuse ' the demand now made in the naple of justice, might with equal reason r lie, to, comply with any principle of moral law ; they miir,l - A k refuse to, comply with any principle of virtue or piptic ;: they might, in fine, abandon all religion ; but they must Ornenabec they had an arduous task before them. Was aid old tree, which had struck its roots deep in the soil, std it would be difficult to eradicate it. Let them remember ' that prayers and offorts roust be used together, and then their labours would be successful. He was proud and happy, and he felt it an honour to add his little mite of approbation and i entreaty in support of the present eloquent resolution, whist-, spoke most important truths that ought to be circulate' d i„ ever direction, and impressed o n every m i nd.—(Cheer had but another word to say .

Still w hi c t li k wviaso „ • to add, that there were some duties IA" Ntuno able to attend. He trusted that the fact he had ~, would be a sufficient apology for not again coming „ard in public meeting.—( Hear, with feelings of regret.) Chairman said as the resolution was proposed anti seconded, Mr. Falvy, a working man from Macclesfield. would speak to it, that he would represent the opinions of his brethren on this subject. It had been thought advisable not to pro pose a number of resolutions, but that a clear resolution was proposed to the meeting that they might affirm a definite pro position, a simple resolution that every one could understand. Mr. FALVY said, if he were only to consider his own feel ' ings, he would express the gratifying, yet anxious sentiments with which he availed himself of the honour of addressing an assembly, consisting of the wealth and intelligence of a portion of the community, who have left their homes and their busi ness in older to take into their consideration the best means of removing those laws which press so heavily on the working classes above all others, and on the trade and commerce of the country ; but he had a higher and holier duty to perform; he came to represent and speak in the name of the numbers, the intelligence, and the intellect of the working men, whose delegate he was ; and he could tell the wealthy classes, that when the middle and working classes had become unanimous on thi subject they could and would give law to the landowners. It had been falsely put forth to the country by the bread-taxing por tion of the press, that the industrious classes were indifferent on this great question, but the public meetings, the lateConferenee held at Manchester, contradict, with one stern fact, this assertion. The workmen knew and felt that their own interests and that of their employers were bound up indissolubly together, that the interests of both had arison;mustdeeline and fall together,and that if trade falls,Eng land falls. He was proud to have the honour of supporting this resolution,and decla r i ng the:p r i nc i p l es which actuated his conzt tuents, and the only opposition he had met with in advocating these principles was the asserti on th at t h e middle classes would compromise these prineiples,but this resolutionwould contradict that. It was said that land should be peculiarly protected, but he asked, what made the soil of England more valuable than that of the Continent ? It was the trade and commerce of England. What comprised the wealth of nations ? Ac cumulated capital, representing the accumulated human abour which acquired it. The industry of man was that which had made the land of England what it w as; things be prot ec t e d and he said that industry should above all in its operations, arid allowed free scope ; all he wished was, of the operatives.

Thi s meeti ng was a mar k e d s i gn o f the times, no t the Duke be pass e d b y or over l oo k e d b y Si r R o b ert P ee l. I n g , when th e rewa i ns o f b ar b arous usages op p res e d Catholics, an d exc l u d e d m illi ons f rom t h e i r r i g h ts , the of Wellington wrote to Bishop Curtis, intimating that if time were given their grievances would be redressed, but what was Bishop Curtis's answer ?—That it was more than his station in society was worth to advise such procras tination, or put off the question. And what was the result ? Th e conqueror of Napoleon was forced to abandon his position, and yield to the opinion of the people. He was glad to find that they had determined to tell the great Duke that it was more than their position in society was worth to go for anything less than a total abolition of the Corn. laws.—( Cheers.) They had been branded as agitators, and the working men of the country had been taunted and ridiculed for daring to become politicians, but it was because politics had been hitherto confined to one class. But what was the principal cause of the working-men becoming politicians? It was the injury they had sustained from the aristocracy,.__ (Cries of " Hear, hear.") They feel that their families want suppport—that they want education for their children —that they want religious instruction, and unless provisions were placed by their price within the reach of their wages, in stead of being educated and moral, and religious and happy, they must be just the reverse. That was what had made the working men discontented and wretched. They knew very well that it was an unjust attempt, on the part of a tyrant king, to levy 20s. ship money from John Hampden, that brought about a revolution which all men must be desirous of averting. yet because he refused to pay that unjust demand, the nation joined him, and rose, and put down both the tax and the King, and the principle of legitimacy and the divine right of kings. He did not wish to see such a state of things again— no Englishman could wish to see such a state of things„ because, in all revolutions, their misery pressed the more heavily on the humble and the poor, inasmuch as they were the least able to support it. But if the attempt to take 20s. ship-money from John Hampden without the consent of Parlia ment,brought about a revolution, surely,it was incumbent on theta to resist an unjust tax on the necessaries of life.—(Cheers.) He remembered to have read a declaration made by the Ess r s of Chatham, in the House of Lords, against the at tempt made by th e G overnment of the day to tax th e Americans. He said, " Rather than unjust principles should hold good, let confusion reign for ever.' --(Cheers. ) If such a declaration was made by Chatham, a name revered by every patriot, honoured by eve r y f r i en d o f hi s country, how much more ought they to press on the country a resolution asserting that the industry of man—( Hear)—that the industry of Englishmen in particular, ought to be free to be carries! into every market of the world ?—( Loud cheers.) It would be tedious for him to go into all the authorities on the subject. Dr. Johnson, in his blunt manner said," the man who would tax the food of the poor speaks like a savage, and ought to live among savages."—(Cheers.) Mr. Bright had told them that he was in favour of a fixed duty, that he thought it was the " fixed duty" of every Englishman to do his part to wards carrying out his views. He would tell them in the same manner, that he was for a " sliding -scale."—(Laughter.) That was a " scale" that would " slide" steadily and constantly throughout all the fiscal regulations with which barbarous no tions had surrounded our commerce, till it stood perfectly free and unrestricted.—(Cheers.) The good sense, the intelligence,, and the industry of the working classes were with them.-- (Cheers). He knew that attempts had been made in varinua parts of the country to disturb their meetings ; he knew that there had been paid agents of the Duke of Buckingham • that there had b een i t i nerant lecturers distributed, throughout the country for the purpose of dividing them; but the good sense of the people of England had over ruled all ; they had seen through these schemes, and bad avoided that state of things which would have brought them into collision with the middle classes.--( Loud chests.) In the strictures he had made on the landowners di England he wished to say that he knew there were exceptions, noble exceptions, exceptions that adorned humanity —instances of gentlemen and noblemen willing to give up any selfish interest they might have in the question, in order that the communitt might live, and that the poor might have bread. He stated they he had received a communication from D. Davenport, Esq. , one of the largest landowners in Cheshire, in which he states that even the landowners derive no particular benefit from the Corn-laws, and that it was only the ignorance and stupidity of the shopkeepers and others that prevented them from. joining in with the exertions of the Corn-law Il e .. pealers. Hi s re pl y to that was, that if the Corr...lases benefited neithe r l an d owner nor farmer, nor liabourer nor manufacturer, h e t h oug h t i t was high time thr should b e y abolished.-4 Cheers. ) H e was sent to Lotuket to tell the Prime Minister —(Laughter and cheers)...the - views of the working men assembled at Mikileberster. He had no doubt he should cut a ri` l .',culous figure in the presence of the Premier, ' if lie told him s t rong and out no matter for that ; opinion of " hisfic, w oils.tito- stern truths—if he told hi m t h e man as to star ents - "—Peel was not such a b o ld • h earte d . is '. and—( Cheers _ainst the united voice of the people of Er.g. He had yielded b e f ore i n t h e f ace of previous d ' • . . this a - .e.ilarations, and in the face of mee ti ngs like 4- ' _ld if the coun t ry d e t erm i ne d to remove this obnox- '"lss impost, he would yield again.—( Loud cheering. ) iA great deal hail been said throughout the country as to the working-men being in favour of physical force ; this was a libel on the people of England ; it was not co r r ec t ; h e was deputed. from a tow n f amous f or th manufacture of silks, and when we speak of repealing the Corn-laws, the Government says, " Oh, you are protected by a duty of 30 per cent. ;" but this was a nominal duty only, as they were cheated, as they always would be cheated, by the foreigner. But how did the landowners deal with them ? They refused to remove the Corn-laws, but they were alway s nibbling at their little protection. A Member of the Govern ment had defended, to a friend or his, the right of going=to the cheapest ma r k e t f or th e manu f actured silks, and by the same rea soning what was g ood forone was goo d f or t h e other, except that silk was a luxu r y for whirls the rich might afford, to pay a high. and increased price, while corn was the great necessary of life., Out of a population of 40,000, they had now a petition ready, signed by 6,000 adults, which was a proof that if they derived any advantage from prohibition, it did not amount to a set off or an equivalent to the injury they sustained from the Corn-laws. All they wanted was a clear stage and no favour, and in those circumstances Englishmen could compote with the f ore i gner i n any mar k et o f t h e world.— (C ) seers ) It was only untaxed food they wanted ; they had increased in their skill—they had improved their machinery till they almost left time and space behind—they were famed throughout the world for the enterprise and integrity of their merchants, and renowned for the skill of their artisans, yet they allowed themselves to be the contempt even of barbarians, for permitting themselves to be ruled by thirty thousand land owners.—( Hear, hear.) It had beer, said that they were too hard on the landowners, that ",..fter all thee were but a class ; but they were the class by whom the laws were made, and they had therefore a right to condemn them. He consider e d the good reeling that had prevailed in their ex ertions to procure a repeal of the Corn-laws, a proof that Britons were entitled to enjoy every privilege to which they had a right, and apologised for taking up so much of their time, by stating that he was anxious to express to them the opinion of his constituents.—( A laugh.) This might be called the People's Parliament; there was, a Landowners' Parliament, and they had a right to a little Par liament of their own. The question was too serious for them to indulge to jokes and levity upon ; but they were justified in being gay as well as serious, in pour ing forth ridicul e as we ll as sublimity, on the heras of those who taxed the food of the people. If the King of Prussia had visited the cellars of Manchester—( Hear, hear)—if he had visited the manufacturing towns of tho worth, lie would not have left our shores with an exaggerated notion of our greatness and our wealth. But how could he form a correct notion of England when he was , I ushered from his first landing from palace to palace, witness ing nothi ng b ut sp l en di d mansions arta costly domes, an d' , 'L, ,,,- seeing nothing but the highest elegrra of luxury? He ought . •er to have seen the dark side of the picture—he ought to have ': 7 tseen the perishing p oor —th e na k e d f at h ers—the weeping ~. mothers, who knew no t w h ere to get b rea d f or the i r children-- ',-) and then he might have felt proud in knowing that in Prussia :. the condition of the artisan was superior to what it was in free and enNettened England.—(Cheers.) Yes ; England at present peesetited a strange anomaly in the history of the world. We have extreme luxury on one hand, and extreme misery and distress on the other.—( Hear, hear.) The dis-• tribntion of wealth had not been in proportion to Ira aecumulation, and why ? Because the selfish interests. 0( a few had been placed in opposition to the interesta' of the masses, and of the great bulk of the comr.nunii,y. He was proud to see the wealth and the respectabili t y e i ering country arrayed i n thi s manner on the side of th e Fe the off poor—(Cheers)—and that it was their determinat',on to see justice done to the people.—( Cheers.) Thst nr.nufacturers had been abused • they had been ca ll e d Cotton Lord s , an d Silk Lords, and h e knew not what Lords. We. thou g ht those were terms of which the manufacturers ought to be proud. —( Loud cheering.) It showed that they had acquired their wealth, power, and static s , by honest industry, and not by cutting down the people in wages. It showed that they had acquired their wealth by legitimate means, by the labour of their own hands, and in se doing they had added to the true dignity of the nation, `;s l hat had been the state of England before she becaur ti a commercial nation ? She was conquered by the ,axon, by the Dane, by the Norman. Site was the prey "fr,very marauding State which chose to attack her, but her c , 7inmeree arose, her navy was fitted out, and now s!'" defied the world. The bread-taxers had recently .beep. loud in their abuse of machinery. They mih abuse machinery as th e y lik e d. H e would tell them th g is t , that Watt, and Stevenson, and Arkwright had, by the it mighty inventions, contributed more to elevate and improve the condition of the people of this country, than ever the landlords had done to de g rade and dep ress it b y t h e i r laws.—(Lond cheers.) The Premier had talked of o ver - production--( A laugh)—of machinery as a cause of distress. How could any one tell that over-production was the cause of the distress until every man, woman, and child in the kingdom had food and clothing enough ?—( Loud cheers.) Let them give to every man, woman, and child in th e kingdom su ffi cient cl o thi ng; an d then, if they found they had too much, they might, if they wished, stop the mills for a short time.—(Cheers, and hear.) It was mere childishness to talk in such a manner ; it was language unworthy the honour of a mighty nation, and f, t only for the nursery. Of one hundred million human beings, which was the population of the world, England could only pro duce manufactures sufficient for sixty millions. Let them re verse the landlords' position, as had been done by Mr. Greg. the late Member for Manchester. Was it just, was it tike a statesman, to make use of such ridiculous lange.ege_4: had been done by the Premier , ?—( Hear, hears t ) " with possessed immense powers of production , b a limited sale.
