The Secretary also announced the receipt of registration fees from Bil- ston, Sheffield, Stockport, - Nantwich, Wirksworth, and Sabden, besides a great number of applications for registration cards and sheets, the supply of which had been somewhat retarded by the necessity, of having new plates cut. These announcements were received with great applause. HENRY RAWSON, Esq. moved, and JOIIN Esq., seconded the appointment of the following gentlemen to be registrars to the League, which was agreed to with applause :—Mr. J. Dean, Collie; Mr. J. Chadwick, Eccles ; and Mr. J. Wragg, Bury. The CHAIRMAN said they had been honoured by' the unexpected visit of the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, of Bury, and he begged to introduce him to the meeting. The Rev. Mr. SHEPIIERD was received with loud applause. He said it afforded him great pleasure, as a minister of that Gospel which offered peace and happiness to all mankind, to come forward in behalf of any , cause that had for its object the protection and the welfare of- his fellow-creatures. He was happy to inform them that they had a delightful meeting at Bury last night.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Their lecturer was present on the. occasion, and he was sure that that gentleman's arguments produced a powerful impression. These were followed up by an able speech from Mr. Witi!:er, M.P., who pledged himself to the movement, and he was appy to say that cards were taken by persons present f which, when filled up, would contain sulescriptions to the amount of 5001.—(Ap plause.) He had felt a great interest in this move ment from the first, and he had endeavoured to bring it forward in that place where his fellow-creatures met with him on the Sabbath to receive the bread of life.—(Hear. hear.) He did so, feeling it to be inti mately connected with the present as well as future destiny of these persons.—(Applause.) He had been frequently taunted with coming forward to meddle with political questions since he had done so to be sure —(Hear, and laughter)—but he should like to ask what could they meddle with that was not political ? —(Hear, hear.) If they endeavoured to avoid meddling with political questions, it was clear, for instance, in the first place, that they could not get married, for that' was political.—(Laughter.) Their little children must not he registered at their birth—that was political.—(Hear, hear.) Another thing, they must not speak of the Sabbath day ; Sir Andrew' Agnew had made that a political question.—(Great laughter.) They must not read the Bible, for the Queen's printer had made that a political question.—(Renewed laughter.) If any per son died he must not be buried, for his death would have to be registered, and that was a political question. —(Applause and laughter.) It was clear, therefore, that religious persons could not avoid politics more than other persons ; and what question could they entertain of more vital importance than this was ?--- (Hear.) It was the cause not only of humanity and justice, but it was the cause of God. — (Hear, hear.) He had seen much of the misery which existed be cause of. the injurious tendency of the Corn-laws. It would have grieved the hearts of every lady and gentleman present to have witnessed their late meet ing of Sunday scholars ; to have listened to their tales of distress—distress which had. by their own con fession, not only prevented the poor people from getting food, but had deprived them of raiment, and hindered them from attending to the worship of God. If ministers of religion were not to come forward on such a question as this, he did not know when they should come forward.—(Hear, hear.) As he knew there were other speakers to come before the meeting, he would not longer' occupy their time than to say, he recollected reading some time ago of a cobbler who did not like things to be altered for the worse, and after the appointment of a certain Noble Marquis to be ranger of Richmond park, he commenced an action against him for stop ping up an old footpath, and the Marquis was cast. An individual afterwards asked him how he could think of daring to go to law with a Marquis ? " Be cause," was the reply, " I did not like to leave the world worse than I found it."—(Applause.) Now, if we did not abrogate the present Corn-laws, we should all most assuredly leave the world worse than we found it---(Hear, hear)—because the Corn-laws now in operation were certainly more injurious than any of those which had preceded them.—(Hear, hear.) He considered these laws to be most unjust in their origin, injurious in their operation, and ruinous in their consequences to the whole cdmmunity. Here there was a cry of want of room in the meet ing, and it was stated that, notwithstanding the wet ness of the evening, many persons were outside un able to gain admission. The interruption having ceased, I . Mr. 3.• S. BUCKINGHAM then presented himself, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. He said he had accepted with the greatest pleasure the invitation tendered to him to attend that meeting,,for the purpose of offering to those who mere assembl e d some (Allis own experience with respect to facts bear ing upon this question, and also to tender to them, with great deference and respect, the opinions which these facts had led him to form upon the subject.— (Hear, hear.) His name, he believed, was sufficiently familiar to most of them in connection with the great question of free trade in general—(Hear, hear)—for it was that which had brought him first to Manches ter some ten or twelve years ago, and which had led him to witness in this then thriving and opulent town —more so, he grieved to, say', then than be had reason to believe it was at present—a degree of enthusiasm manifested upon the subject of free , trade to the eastern possessions of Great Britain, and to the great OPINIONS OF THE TRESS.

Children's limited. This nacy, England's selfishness—not England, perhaps, but a section of it, and that section the most powerful, be cause the law-making was in its hands—that the trade was not five times as extensive as it was. And why so ? Because with all our disposition to sell goods, commerce could exist only by exchange, so trade could consist in a pouring in on one side, with a pour ing back on the other, and since of that pouring back, grain and cattle formed the most considerable portion, and these were by the existing laws prohibited, a li m it to the exports must be fixed by a limit to the imports, and that limit was fixed by British laws.—(Cheers.) On the question of free trade there was hardly a per» son in America, even those who had set up manufac taring for themselves, and might be supposed to be swayed by their own interests, who had not cried out, as the watchword of America, many years—" Free trade and sailors' rights," meaning free trade with all the world, and sailors' rights to go with their ships wherever the water washed the fringe-work of this globe.—(Applause.) And they were opposed to any impediment put in the way of free trade, or carrying —for carrying was free trade. Manufactured goods must be sold, and when sold they must be transported to the countries 'where they were sold, and ships must be employed. Therefore, " Free trade and sailors' rights," almost every child in America had been taught : to cry out, as the rallying point upon which the whole nation must rely. As far as the people were con cerned, therefore, no nation was more hostile to tariffs in general, or more inclined to free trade ; it was their interest, and the interest of every country that had more within it than it could itself consume; and if trade were entirely unrestricted, such nations would prosper. He had made most extensive journeys in America, and was surprised, first of all, with the vast ness of the country. It was more than 2,000 miles in length, and more than 1,500 in breadth. It comprised 26 States, and three territories in a state of initiation to become States. These were, on the average, as large as England ; a very few were smaller, sev,eral much larger; but, taking the average or menn,of,the.whole, they were as large as England. Now, in thqse .terri tories and States, their extension over. :a vast area would be but unimportant, if it were not accompanied with fertility of soil, and great activity and energy in the population. Of course mere extent of territory was nothing. Arabia was a large country, but nobody talked of trading with it, because it produced very little. But if there were added to extent of soil great fertility, and the p:oductive power of the people, then trade was only wanting to make that country flourish. Everywhere over the country, from Louisi ana in the north, to Florida in the south, and from New York to the westward, beyond the Mississippi, there were millions untold of acres, covered with a soil of from ten to fifteen feat deep, and yielding forty, forty-five, and in some cases fifty bushels of grain to the acre. The average capacity of England, taken on the authority of Mr. Webb Hall, one of the first authorities on agricultural matters, was but twenty six bushels ; and he was prepared to prove to any man who doubted it, that the average capacity of the United States amounted to, near forty bushels per acre. By this increased capacity, the twenty-six States might be said to be equal to fifty two ; for New York, though not so large as Virginia, Louisi ana, Winconsin, Michigan, or Ohio, contained thirty three millions of acres, and Pennsylvania thirty-four millions. Ireland, a most rich and beautiful country, and a valuable ally of Great Britain, contained only twenty millions of acres • and England, Wales, and Scotland together, only forty-four millions. These facts would show the almost infinite capacity of pro duction in America. In travelling over the western States, the question of trade with England perpetually recurred ; and the large proprietors used fre quently to ask him, "Do you see any chance of the people of England compelling the Parliament to re peal your Corn-laws ?"—for they understood enough of our system to know that Parliament originated nothing of itself. ThiS they thought a great ano maly, and he was unable to give any explanation of it. "First of all (said they) you issue your writs, directed to the inhabitants of the different towns and districts ; they seek out the wisest men and send them up to Parliament. Perhaps they do not always select the wisest men ; but the : theory supposes they do.— (App"ause.) It :is true, sometimes money goes for wisdom, sometimes corruption, and various things.— (Applause.) It is true, the millions of the people cannot . take part in a deliberate assemblage of legis lators ; therefore, recourse is had to representation, in order to select the best and fittest men to represent the interests of ,the whole body, to Speak their voice, and to. legislate for them. But the droll part of the alwayssamielov tet e l y matter is, when all the wise men, who have been selected on account of their wisdom, are assembled, they fold their arms and say, 'Don't let us do any thing until the foolish people, who sent us here, kick us and compel us:—(Applause.) When they cry out that a thing is necessary, tell them it is not the proper time. If they insist upon it that it is the proper time, tell them not to be in too great a hurry; and so coax, cajole, plead, and persuade, and put them off in the best way you can. When you cannot help it, when they speak of a civil war, and we are on the eve of a revolution, then say the time is come when something must be done; and then determine that the smallest amount of what they want is that which ought to be done."—(Applause.) He had never been able to make them understand how it was that when the wisest were sent up to make laws, they always waited until the most foolish saw what laws were so bad that they required to be repealed, and drefr out a sketch for them by petitions, memorials, and deputations, and, in fact, did their business ; so that, after all, the great object in sending them was to acquire honour and distinction for themselves.—(Applause.) lie was happy that that did not apply to all ; there were two gentlemen present who were noble examples of what Members of Parliament ought to be.—(Applause.) They were now in a minority, and that minority con tained some little better than the majority ; but these were the salt of the earth, without which it would lose its savour. In the House of Lords it was supposed that in hereditary descent the requisite wisdom would be found; in the Commons it was sought through re presentation ; but they always waited until the pres sure from without compelled them to yield to the public demand.—(Applause.) He had been asked if he saw any probability of the Legislature of England removing the restrictions on the trade in corn. He had answered he feared the day was not so near as could be wished ; still, when he remembered that all the great evils which had pressed on this country had been;'at one time of their history, apparently incur able, and the people apparently in despair, yet in. the progress of things, a little band had taken the question up, and leagued themselves with other little bands ; like a direle occasioned by a stone thrown into water, their efforts had gone on increasing, until they em braced the whole community, and then the fabric fell to the ground. Thus they had seen the Parliamen tary representation improved—certainly it was not so good as it should he, but it had been rendered better —(Applause.) They had thus seen the slave-trade i lawsnd something iviodfutahl es likeat stood odd. r religious dr y e l q iskh u eo a "eyadr thatrecognised tyr s,ae r were first and slavery abolished, religious tests put down, and , ti t l r e a m m o p s l t e u d p o - n hi ; ll y N e v t or t k he t i h r at sp c i o r u it, ld t b h e e conceived; individuals at, trampled and the genuine justice of their s bi t 'ty o n wt e ha s cl e , triumphed. And this, he predicted, without cause ulti assuming to be a greater prophet than others, would be the result of the labours of this League, whose voice, going fortis from that hall, would be responded to, not by 48 letters which they had received that morning,.but by 4,800 ; and they would have to em ploy additional secretaries to read them--(llear)—and Manchester would gain immortal honour by being the rising star whOse light would be shed all over the country, until not a man nor woman would stand up in defence of these odious laws.—(Applause.) He had told them in America he feared this event was not so near as they could wish, yet the history of England was full of proofs that truth was great and mighty, and would prevail ; and there being truth and justice in the demand for an unrestricted trade between. these two countries, he hoped to live to see the banner of free trade waving in the wind, and both nations recognising it as the only true bond by which they could be united.—(Applause.) Ire had travelled over the Mississippi and across the broad valley of which it formed the centre ; it possessed capacity for the sustentation of one hundred millions of individuals, and at present there were seventeen millions in the country. These seventeen millions, in their wants and desires, represented a much lar g er number. There were seven or eight millions in Ireland, hilt, owing to their extreme poverty , and the de g raded state to which they were reduced by bad laws and oppression, they did not consumeso much of clothing , furniture, and utensils of va rious kinds of En g lish manufacture, as did a single million of persons in America.—(Hear, hear.) I , lence the custom of a million of Americans was worth as much as that of the whole of Ireland ; for customers were valuable, first, in proportion to their number, and then in proportion to to spend, and their possession of the capacity to If America had coals and minerals,there would be scarce any trade between articles t e theirr w the greater the necessity for exertion, the more were they called upon to make it; and since it appeared that that enthusiasm had abated, and a change had come over the minds 'of some at least, it was most agreeable to him to see.so large a section before him, animated - by the same Spirit'as then, and determined to go forward as they went forward- then, and never to sit down in quiet until their great object was ac complished.--L-(Applanae.) Since that time, now twelve years ago, he had had twelve - years' experience, and that experience had'heen more than usually diversi fied: Because, first of all, it had led hini over every part of the kingdoin ' a for he h a d b egun at Liverpool and Manchester, and had afterwards gone through every part of England, every part of .• Seotland e anal, every .part of Ireland, except the extreme south; and' all' the varied experience which that tour -had given him, had served but to rivet his- conviction stronger, and to add new testimonies not only to the value of free trade in general, but of free trade in the food of man in particular.—(Applause.) Subsequently to that, he had had the opportunity of sitting side by side—he was proud to say it, with•his Hon. Friend on his left Mr. Brotherton, in the House of Commons—(Applause)— and there, as his friend knew well, they had had the opportunity of hearing-all that could be said against the principles of. free trade, and he confessed he never heard an argument there worthy of answering.—(Aia plause.) They were so contemptible—either so false in fact, or so contemptible in reasoning—that the pro per'way to treat them was to turn aside with scorn. They were - not worth the attention of any man claim ing to be a man of intelligence ; and the wonder al ways was to him, how men professing to be men of intelligence, many of them having had ' a uni- • veasity education, and some heving won the great honour of . senior wrangler at Olford or Came bride—(Applause)- - --hew they .ventured to keep a grave face, and make the assertions which they did, and expect any person to believe them.—(Applause.) Arid for a time, he had thought it was a kind of ex peeitneat to .see how far authority and station would go, in exacting a sort of base and slavish . homage to dogmas and fallacies the most absurd he ever listened to. And certainly the experiment had suc - ceeded; but if he had'been told beforehandthat such men, a leader of the Cabinet, fee instance, or of the Opposition, would say,auch and such things, and that those things would be supported by men who were selected from among their respective communities as the wisest men to go . up to Parliament and take a share in making the laws, he should have conceived it quite impossible, aild should have been ready, according to the approved English method of supporting an ; opinion, to h a re laid a wager of a hundred to one., that. such . a thing was utterly impossible.—(Applause-) Nevertheless, he had seen it, and was, therefore, compelled to believe it ; and, after all he had. heard . during the six years he had sat in that great assembly of ." potent, grave, !) and reverend seignors(Apoause) — he confeseed he had not heard a single argument to shake hi s f a ith for a moment in the great doctrine, ..that free-trade •was designed by God in the way, that he had formed the globe and varied its preductions ; that all history tended to show the wickedness as: well as •the folly of monopoly; and that.they were the only true friends to the human race who set their sheuh:ers to the wheel to destroy these monopolies, and to introduce a free exchange of , the produce of, all 'nations.—(Appl au s e .) Subsequent to that, he -had had - .another : sphere of experience,'ucross the Atlantic, in the United States of Anerica:-(Applause.) And •he might say, without- arrogating to himself any merit on that account, that -his was not a flying steam-boat visit, to run on railroads,here And there, look out at the windows, end then come home, and give some d e - Scription of 'the country ; but it was a careful, delibe rate, and patient investigation ; and if they only gave him credit for possessing the average amount of abi lity to observe, and the avera ge am ount of veracity to describe what he had observ e d, th e y c ould not but ad mit that his opportunities had b een v ery great. And though it was - very possibl e f or a man to form a tole rably accurate conception of countries by the books that described them, yet every one w ho had tried the experiment knew that seeing the. .places themselves, going through the country, and bolding personal shbnolaoo:toedto. communication with the people, put session of a thousand things,- and created a variety of a person in pos. impressions which no amount of reading could sug gest.—(Applause.) It had him— and he agreed in it=that it would be becoming in him, and would advance the interest' of the great cause they espoused, were he to confine himself to what he had seen in America, and the observations which his been suggested to opportunities had enabled him to make - as to the great resources of that country in jury which both America and England . suffered from the folly of one or both of - their Legislatures ; for those who placed hindrances in the way of the in grain, and as to the ex change of the produce of one man's labour for that of another, were equally wicked' and foolish, whether monarchicaharistocratical, or republican.—(Applause.) After all, it came to this, as a political question ; for he agreed with the Rev. Gentleman who had just sat down, that there was scarcely any topic they could p c o t e s ( e l d . speak of or introduce, but was more or less a• political question. Some. understood by politics one thing, and it to mean the broils in with which politics necessary or indispensable. Politics, as he Butunder ,aonimoot,filtiesentrif,eese,onam7cedosnunipie.ruptioil , that connexion was government was to decrease as government, and the great end tcnteoafnht human n an much as, possible the amount of evil in the world, and to increase as much as possible the amount of good. :_—(Applause.) -No man would say that politics, in that sense of the term, was unworthy a minister of the a st irl d ob it ie Gospel, a female at the head of nn establishment, or the youngest child that could lisp a truth at all. We were all, by duty as well as by interest, deeply bound to do all we could ; first, in the limited circle 'in w hi c h we moved, and then in the more extended sphere of influence in which God might plant us, to diminish the amount of suffering among the human family and increase the amount ofhappineSa. God having, created us to that end, and given us a capacity to en joy pleasure, politics - , in that sense of the term,. was not only not objecti o nable in connection with any pursuit whatever, but it was the bounden duty of every man to attend to it. He who understood it most distinctly, and pursued it with the most inte grity and purity, was, likely to effect the greatest good ; and he who shrunk from it as something with which he had no concern, profesSed and con fessed himself a selfish and unthinking being, unable to do good*, others, and, therefore. deserving : of be ing cut off from that good whiCh others did to'him,— (Applause.) On his visit to America, to which he would now briefly confine himself, he had no sooner landed on the shores of that country than - he was struck with the amazing energy and activity that were manifested in everything he, saw around him. He -saw in that .country a ca p ac ity, so far as the dis position and enterprise .. of the people were con cerned, for . the most extended and advantageous trade that a country could carry on ; and, in harmony with thatdiapositionehe learnt that there was scarcely a sea which washed any portion of the globe where the . Aineriaan. flag was not seen, and American en terprise had not penetrated. But, he said to himself, in the nature of things the commerce between Eng land and America ought to be not only more. than that with every other country, but equal to that of all other countries in the,-world combi ne d . And why ? Because England speaking the same language, • pro-. fessieg the same religion, enjoying the same literati ture, sprung from the same - stock, and, to a very great degree, having the same manners and customs, had ,in addition to all these bonds of sympathy, the power, from her mineral we alth and the capital and skill by ' which it, was directed, the power to supply America much-cheaper and better than she could sup ply herself, with almost everything, whether apparel, furniture, instruments, for agricultural purposes, or the implements which artisans of every class would need; whilst that in which England was particularly deficient, the power of extending her territory, and increasing the amount of her produce, God seemed to have given to America as that which she was to repay to us in the largest a mount that she could send out, for the resources of that country in the. produce of grain and cattle were absolutely boundless and un • limited. Seeing that those elements existed, and learn ing on inquiry that the commerce with England - was far less, not only than it ought to be, but less than it had been in some former periods, he had asked himself what could be the reason, and no American whom lie consulted but lamented it as well as he did, and saw as clearly as he did, that the cause was England's obsti- 1 the two countries; it was because each country pro. ducel in abundance what the other was deficient o. that they were marked out for trade. In this country the warehouses were weighed down with productions we could not consume, and mills were going without any profit at all. Not only content to hold their own, but being patient under daily loss, in the hope that things would mend, and to see on the other side the Atlantic waving fields of grain, ripe for the sickle, and hundreds of quarters rotting and wasting for -Want of some foreign market ; to see besides millions of acres of land lying waiting for the spade or the plough was really enough to try the patience of an angel, and he was astonished that the stones in the streets did not rise up in mutiny, and that every man, woman, and child, was not in arms.-(Loud cheering.) Suppose that in Ma nc h es t er th e h atters on one s i de of the street were prevented from exchanging their goods with the shoemakers on the other, by a line of police men, or dragoons, or yeomanry, stationed in the middle, this would be very hard, but hats and shoes might be done without. But change the case, and suppose the supply of bread thus interdicted; the con sequences would be very different; fOr, as Lord Bacon observed, " Hunger would break through stone walls," and no rebellion was so bad to put down as a rebellion of the belly. We had got these policemen, whether they called 'themselves Cabinet Miniatersi,or any thing else, in the men who made laws to prevent the grain, cattle, and other productions of America from coming into this:country.-(Applause.) When he talked to the Americans of free trade, he was told to go home, and let our Legislature show the example. America contained twenty agriculturiAs to one ma nufacturer ; all the manufactories were in New Eng land, and did not employ so many people as hlanches ter. But as every one had a vote there, the ao- b ricul- Wrists would outvot e th e manu f ac t urers, and admit our goods if we would let them do so. Mr. Buck ingham then alluded to the appalling distress at pre sent existing, to the depression of the shipping trade, as well as of the manufacturing interest ; and, in con clusion, urged the duty on every one of contributing all that in him lay towards obtaining perfect freedom of trade. At the conclusion he was loudly cheered. JOSEPH BROTHERTON, Esq., M.P., next presented himself, and was warmly greeted by the meeting. He said he hoped they gave him credit for too much discretion to attempt to weaken the effect of the ex cellent speech they had just listened to by any length ened remarks of his own. The remarks made by'a i 3 excellent friend, in reference to the House of Com mons, had often occurred to himself ; he had often wondered at the stupid arguments brought forward by the monopoliats ; but there was one fallacy in his friend's remarks which lie would like to correct. His friend had complained that the House of Commons did not consist of the wisest people, as it ought to do ; now, it struck him (Mr. Brotherton) that' tlie House of Commons was not so deficient of wise men as of honest men.-(Laughter and applause.) Another mistake had been fallen into by his friend. He had talked of the foolish people sending these wise men to the House. NoW, the fact was, that they were not, unfortunately, sent by the people at all.-(Laugh ter and applause.) The Foolish people would have the wisdom, if the matter rested with them, of sending very different men. The mischief was with the pre sent constitution of the Legislature-that the Lords were born to be legislators-(Laughter)-while the majority of the Commons bought their constituents. -(Applause.) It was continually urged by some of these men that the League made it out that there was much more distress than really existed. The fact was that these men would not believe that distress ex isted. In almost every state of society some men would be making money; but our legislators were inclined to disbelieve every representation of distress till all our manufacturers should have become bank rupts, and the whole of our operatives paupers.-(Ap plause.) We saw our working population destitute of clothing; their hearths without fuel ; our work houses were filled with paupers; our gaols with cri r initials, and every person was complaining of distress, from the, lowest artisan to the leading merchants and manufacturers. Our shopkeepers found their busi ness dwindling away ; and they had it on the autho rity of the Rev. Gentleman who first addressed them, that at Bury, the communicants of their religious so cieties were compelled to absent themselves from the public worship of God for want of:clothing ; and was all this to go for nothing ? He saw it stated in the Morning Chronicle that, on the:2sth of March, 1840, the number of paupers in the country was 1,200,000 ; at the same period of 1841, the number was 1,300,000, being an increase of eight and a half per cent. in one year.-(Hear.) The existence of distress, then, was IRIS El FAIRS-DECLINE in PRICES. undeniable, and there was not a person he was sure . THE MARKETS.-PRICE or PROVISIONS. - At the before him who did not attribute that distress to the fairs and markets held in thii county during the past iniquitous Corn-laws.

But their excellent Chairman had not , told them all they had done. It was right their distant friends should know that, in contributing to the League fund, th ey were s not sending money to be applied for local purposes, but that they were labouring to educate the entire population of these islands.—(Cheers.) They had been labouring for years, but with what contemptible means! • A small knot of individuals with a few thousands only, scattered over a period of several years, attempting to educate a nation ! Why, the notion was absurd; and it was only a marvel they should have made the progress they had.—(Hear, hear.) To carry out the objects of the League as originally designed, they needed that which they were now seeking and obtaining—national co-operation. And it was due to the country at large, that they should understand that in contri buting to the funds of the League, they were only -sending its reservoirs here a contribution to enable the tour cil to spread it abroad in fertilising showers, over the whole extent of the country.—(Applause.) There was one plan adopted which probably most of them had heard of. The Council of the League had, a short time since, advertised for Prize Essays, show ing the injurious operations of the Corn-laws upon farmers and farm labourers.—(Applause.) By the first of this month, the time limited, they received a large number. Three had been selected from that number ; and, having had an opportunity of perusing them, he must say that he anticipated the greatest re sults from their publication.—(Hear, hear.) One of them was written by a tenant farmer in Scotland, paying 1,5001. a year rent, and he said, " I have laid out a large sum of money which I expect to be re imbursed before the expiration of my lease, and yet I should be delighted to see the Corn-laws abolished before the end of the next session of Parliament."— (Applause.) Now, the League were going to print a million copies of each of these three prize essays.—(Cheers) He exp . ected in another fort night every printing-press in Manchester would he in full operation .for the Anti-Corn-law League.— (Cheers.) They were aware the Council of the League had arranged a plan for separating the country into districts, placing an authorised agent_ and lec turer over each, for the purpose of dispensing, as he had said before ' not merely a tract, but a condensed library, on the Corn-laws. They had done the work in the country; they had the most of the kingdom almost complete in its organisation; and these prize essays, in addition to the other books, should be placed in the hands of every elector in the kingdom. — (Cheers.) Now, the monopolist papers said they should not be able to raise the 50,0001. fund. They said they might as well ask a hundred thousand. Why, the fact was, that the Council began to feel that the money raised would be likely to exceed that sum.—(Hear, hear.) So they saw what a capital estimate they had formed of the spirit abroad. They had not waited for the country to respond ; they said, " We'll spend the money first ; we'll put ourselves in pledge for it, and we'll trust to our bread-eating countrymen to take us out of pawn."—(Loud cheers.) This was eminently a question of money, and the amount of money which had been pro posed to be raised, though it was an insignificant sum in proportion to the object to be achieved, would be a much larger fund than was ever raised in this country before, for whatever object. He was speaking to one of the Society of Friends the other day, and he said the largest sum • ever raised in the anti-slavery cause was 7,0001. Fifty thousand at one whif, therefore, would not be a bad contribu tion for the Anti-Corn-law League.—(Hear, hear.). But he was not going to tell his friends what might lead them into the mistake that the money could be raised without exertion.—(Laughter.) But there was no reason why they should not raise even more than the sum proposed. He was talking with some friends the other day, who said the League would raise a quarter of a million.—(Hear, hear.) Now, he really thought if their opponents were to be con vinced of this they would knock under in a moment. —(Applause and laughter.) He had spoken to a gentleman who said it had been asked in the clubs of London if he really thought the 50,0001. could be raised. He was assured it could : upon which he said, " Well, he did not think the 'Carlton Club could raise 10,0001. to oppose the ."—(Laughter.) No— they had spent all their money in the last elections, and now they found it was all thrown away. They did not know their men.—(Great cheering.) He be lieved the county electors were so dissatished at the result of the last election, that, they would now Le disposed to come to the Anti-Corn-law League in the hopes of getting something by them, as they could not get anything by their former friend..—(Laughter and applause.) And after the experience they had had of their landowner friend, who contributed h is 1001., he should not be surprised if, before the League finished, they should enrol the Duke of Buckingham as a member of the League.—(Great cheering and laugh ter.) He begged most cordially to second the vote of thanks to Mr. Buckingham, and deeply he felt in debted to him for his exhortation here to-night. Mr. Cobden resumed his seat amidst great cheering. Mr. Alderman BROOKS supported the vote of thanks, and said, especially to the ministers of the Gospel were they indebted for braving the calumnies of men ever ready to attribute wrong motives, and taking their stand on this great question.—(Applause.) The motion was carried by acclamation, and the meeting soon afterwards separated.
