This is the second day on which I have not broken my fast." Now that was not a solitary instance, es there were thousands of such instances in the place in which he resided. He would not trouble the meeting further, but tveuld conclude with a few lines, which he thought most ap plicable to the present subject : " Oh for a lay, loud as the surge That lashes Lapland's sounding shore !" Oh for a voice of storm, to rouse the people from their • trance, Ere independence be no more; Ere England sinks beneath the Tory glance ! Ye torpid powers ! a boding fear pervades my melan choly soul, And whispers, in the muse's song, Your energies have slept too long. Oh, yet, if it be not too late. Arouse, and try to avert your fate. Strain every nerve, swell every vein, To rend the intolerable chain, Jet union guide, let union bind, Your hearts, your councils, and your mind. 'Tis only thus ye now can hope, With England's deadly foes to cope, And happily, yet, you may prevail ; But, e'en should every effort fail, Your glorious struggle in so good a cause Will win immortal glory and applause. • The demons that oppress our isle, • And their dark legions of dismay May for a season tyrannize, • While England shudders at their swaye But, like the sun enthroned on high Beyond the fierce destroyer's course, Britannia's guardian, Liberty, Mocks their vain rage—defies their baffled force. Her patriot sons shall brave this gale— Brave the tremendous breakers' roar— Turn our remorseless tyrants pale Upon eed Albion's sea-girt shore !—(Loud cheers.) Mr. ORIEL, of Devizes, felt that he had a duty to discharge in laying before the meeting the wretched condition of the poor in the parts in which lie resided. He did not think that agri caltural diitresshad been full represented at the meeting. He b. lieved that the miseries in the agricultural districts far sur passed those in the manufacturing. He had travelled into one hundred villages in Wiltshire, and the distress pre railing there was mostalarming.—( Loud cries of " Shame.") There was a time when poor labourers were enabled to keep fir their own use a pig. That blessed state of things was al tered now ; if they got a pig at all now, it scarcely could be called for their own use ; at any rate, it was not for their gus h nance ; their pigs were given to pay rent and rates, and not even the offal was left for the family.—(Cheers.) He had been into houses where the inmates had subsisted for a long time on barley bread arid potatoes without tasting other food. Oil this they live from week to week, and from month to month, whilst there may be seen, perchance, the farmers' flitches of bacon hanging up in corners of the wretched cabin for the purpose of being dried. Mr. Oriel then proceeded to read statements which he had gathered from several families of the labouring class in the neighbourhood of Devizes. These accounts presented pictures of the most harrowing distress ; in most of the cases referred to the cabins or huts of the inhabi tants contained only one room, where the families, consistin g in the instances quoted, of seven, eight, and nine chil lien, lived and slept. The average wages received for the support of a whole family did not exceed 95., being about. Is. per week per individual. As before stated, their food consisted of nothing but barley bread and potatoes; and the head of one family de clared that he had not tasted meat, cheese, or butter for three quarters of a year.—( This recital of misery appeared to excite ft clings of great syra.i athy in the breasts of the auditory.)— No condition could be more unhappy than that of the agri cultural labourers who toiled in humble obedience, but who never touched those goods of nature which their labours con tributed to raise. The condition of that class was deserving of the utmost sympathy. They were well aware how abject was their state ; but they did net dare to give expression to their real feelings, so complete was their dependence on their aris tocratic masters.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Jolter TowLE, of Oxford, next addressed the meeting. Ihe district from which he came was purely agricultural. lie believed that the picture of the condition of the agricultural labourer was net over elrawn by the gentleman who had pre ceded him. The farmers' labourers in Isis district received, in general, but seven shillings a week, which left them but one shilling a day to support a family consisting frequently of seven persons. He remembered, that when he was a young man, farmers' servants received ten shillings a week and ten pounds a year. A young man in the same situation now re ceived but three shillings and sixpence a week. He had, in travelling to London, questioned one of the class, from whom he had received that information, and who told him, on further inquiry, that his breakfast was bread and lard, his dinner was bread and lard, and his supper was bread and lard. Such was the condition to which the Corn-laws reduced the agricultural population.— ( Hear, hear.) He had struggled himself to retain the land of his forefathers—his paternal pro ) erty—but he was not able to effect it. He had been a tenant to the Earl of Manvers, and with all his endeavours he coted not keep his family together.—(clear, hear.) The farmr, which were occupied by tour or five persons formerly, were now in the hands of one, and of course fewer labourers were employed. Mr. Ainsworth and others were now in the pos session of thote farms. But he was glad that at length per sons of influence were coming forward to relieve thorn from the operation of those causes which had produced ruin to the farmers.--( Hear, hear. ) He had been present in the morn ing when an allusion had been made to the scene by which the Corn-law had been introduced, and he was a little boy when one of the persons who had been shot fell at his feet; and he knew that six balls of cartridge had been served to the troops on the occasion, but he hoped to see England freed from her oligarchy and her bad laws.—(Cheers.) In Oxford, when they first started the Corn-law agitation, they were laughed at, but at length they became so strong as to be enabled to send a deputation to wait upon Mr. Langston, re yuesting him to stand for Oxford, and they were able to place him at the head of the poll, 11,000 plumpers having been voted f .r him. The Rev. Mr. WILLIAMS, of Carnarvon, said he brought with him forty-one congregational, and thirty-seven general, petitions, from the mountains of Wales, having '21,470 signa tures attached to them. They were entrusted to him fur pre sentation to her Majesty.

The time had arrived, and they were called on to use their best energies and exertions. if they did this, and with prudence, the bread-tax would go as all other taxes and monopolies had gone before, but so long as they were divided, this thing could not be accomplished. The working men of Oldham knew that the bread-tax was a great monopoly, but they also knew that there was another monopoly—the monopoly of class legislation —(Cheers)--and he for one, though he should toil for the same object which they all worked for, should always re member that, so long as class legislation continued, Engl:sh nen would be slaves.—(Cheers.) Mr. CORBETT, from Birmingham, said he felt proud that he was a working man.—(Cheers.) There had been a great deal said, these last few years, about the distress in this great nation. He should lise to know who had selected those people who brought en this distress? They could not say it was the working men.—( Cheers. ) Had they participated in making the lads, they never would have been in this state. —( Cheers.) He also should recommend a union between the masters and the working men. Without union, they could do nothing. The michil ! classes could alone effect .nothing. Look at the masses who were opposed to them. They had the clergy against them, with a few honourable exceptions. Instead of the clergy being the friends of the poor, they were, generally speaking, their oppressors. They had the two Houses of Par liament against them ; the fundholders, placemen, pensioners, and landholders, against them. The working classes, by themselves, could effect nothing; and the odds which were against them should convince every one of the necessity of being united.—( Cries of " Hear, hear ") He had to express the determination of the men of Birmingham, that if the midd'e classes joined them heart and soul, they (the working classes) would be with them to a man.—( Loud cheers.) And he might add, that unless they a,. ted honestly by the working men, they would not have their assistance, nor ought they, indeed, under those circumstances, to ex?ect it. —( Cheers.) What he had seen since he had been in this room, had convinced him that England would not sink yet, if the working and the middle classes would only unite.— ( Cheers.) The working men he had met at Manchester in duced him to believe, that if the middle and humbler classes were true to oae another, this country need fear no competi tion. A good deal had been said about making sacrifices. He approved of sacrifices for she public good. Let the people be sober; nothing contributed so much to raise a people, in a moral and political point of view, as sobriety. He was confi dent that, with union and firmness, justice—complete justice would, era long, be obtained. The CHAIRMAN informed the meeting that the Rev. Mr. Massie was about to communicate to them the result of the deliberations of the Executive Committee as to the best mode of presenting the Memorial to the Queen which had been agreed to in the morning. The Rev. Mr. Massie then came forward, and said that the Executive Committee had discussed the question sub mitted to them. It had been stated by some of the members that the only constitutional mode of presenting the Memorial was through a Peer of the Realm or a Privy Councillor. There was, however, a strong desire on the part of many mem-- hers to comply with what seemed to be the prevailing wish of the Delegates, that they should proceed in a body and endea vour to present the Memorial themselves to her Majesty It was necessary, however, that previous applicalon should have been made to the offiei d authoritic a for permission to take such a step ; and some time would, of course, elapse bef re the answer could be received. But in the meantime, if Delegates would find it necessary, according to their previous arrange ments, to leave London, the consequence of that would be, that a small number only of their body could be present. Now, a diminutive demonstration would be comparatively ineffectual, and would lay the League under a sneer or a rebuff. The Committee, therefore, although with a feeling of great regret and reluctance, had determined to renounce the intee tion of recommending the Delegates to attempt to pro ceed in a body with the Memorial. They recommend that Earls Ducie, Radnor, and Kinnaird should be respectfully requested to take the earliest opportunity of using their privi leges as Peers of the realm, to bring before her Majesty the Memorial of that Conference.—( Hear, hear.) There were other Noble Lords or Learned Lords whom they would have also named, were it not that those Noble persons had not out and out declared for a total and immediate repeal ; and then other of those Lords had rather discountenanced the Con ference of the ministers of religion upon that subject, and ex pressed a doubt whether it was a moral or religious question. The Earls of Ducie, Radnor, and Kinnaird had, on the other hand, emphatically and distinctly approved of the present move ment. A GENTLEMAN in the body of the meeting asked whether the Delegates could feel assured that the proposal of the Com mittee would be effectual? He remembered a petition ad dressed to her Majesty had been on a former occa•ion en trusted to a Noble Lord for presentation, but it had been for warded by him to the Secretary of State, through whom it had been presented. What certainty was there that the same thing might not occur again ? The R - ev. Mr. MASSIF said that on the occasion reft rred to the Noble Lord had declared that, in consequence of the delicate health of her Majesty at that period, he did not wish to pre sent the petition in person ; but that at any other time he would have gladly availed himself of h:s privilege as a Peer of the realm for such a purpose.—( Hear, hear. ) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by leaving the resolution of the Com mittee in the hands of t .e meeting. The CHAIRMAN then put the question that the recommen dation of the Executive Committee should be adopted. The motion was unanimously agreed to. Mr. FALVEY next came forward to address the meeting. He had been deputed, with three or four other working men, to present the Memorial which it had formerly been determined should be presented to the Premier. Little did he antici pate that a refusal to listen to that Memorial would have been given bA the Prime Minister of England—by the man who, a few months before, had graciously received a depu tation from a certain body, because they agreed with him in attributing the distress of the country to over-production and machinery. These men had been graciously received ; and they, in their turn, declared that Sir R. Peel had a heart— ( Hear, hear.) He might have a heart, but, if he had; it was a bad one.—(Hear, hear.) When he was waited on by those who said they were sent from the working men, Enid when they were asked to show their credentials, and had none, he allowed he was imposed on, and said he was very sorry in deed —( Hear, hear.) And because he was deceived on a pre vious occasion, he would not receive any real deputa tion from the real working men of England.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Falvey) thought that the Prime Minister deserved impeachment—(Cheers)—and if the working classes had been . FEBRUARY 12, 1841. /other nations. Now what where the facts?, It appearei from the Government returns that the direct opposite was.the fact. In Prussia the revenue was 8,261,0001. acd the land-tax paid of that 3,994,0001. The Austrian revenue was 16,400,000—, and of this the :Land•tax paid more than half. The French revenue was 40,150,0001., of whirls the Land-tax was 23,186,0001. What was now the co.nparison between the revenue and the Land -tax in Great Britain? It was a fact that the revenue of Great Britain amounted to 52,226,9591, to wards which the Land-tax contributed only 1,531,933/. —( Hear, hear. ) This statement was a true one, but it did not tally very well with that made by the Premier last Ses sion; he could not be contradicted then, but the people being better informed now, such a statement as that would not again obtain their credence. —( Loud cheers.) He was a lace manu facturer, and he could assure those present, the foreigners were not only supplying foreign markets with that article, but they were supplanting Clem at heat. For him• self, he was laying up stock, in order to employ his men, because the foreigner coukl bring articles to this county 20 per cent. cheaper than he could sell it. He trusted that all clergyman would enl'st themselves against such sinister monopolies as had been brought before the meeting. The Rev. 'l'. Davis was sure that something must be done and that shortly, or he would not state what would be the con dition of the country. If the Corn-law was not abolished, he dreaded the consequences. The Rev. Mr. MITCHRLL, from Ayrshire, entered into a statement of the distress prevailing in the district which he re presented. Labourers there could not earn more than six shil lings a week, and the continuance of suffering was leading to a spirit of wide-spread discontent and disaffection. A total repeal of the Corn-laws would alone put an end to the evil. The Rev. Mr. ELLIS, the representative of five manu facturing towns in Ayrshire (Scotland), said the poptila'ion of these towns were principally hand-loom weavers, ave raging about 51. Gd. a week, the highest being 10s., but very few at this; numbers could not earn more than 4s. In 1836, girls earned 95. a week at fancy sewing, now they did not average more than 3s. Gd.

Mr. LINDSAY ) of Kilmarnock, said his town was one Of the most prosperous in Scotland. Its staple was the carpet, shoe, bonnet, and shawl trade but now it was in a most miserable state. The people shared in the sentiments ex pressed by the last Reverend speaker. O'Connell told them yesterday that Ireland would do its duty. If England, then, would du its duty, he (Mr. L.) would assure them that Scot land would do her duty.—(Cheers. The Conference then adjourne'd-at Half-past Ten until Eleven &Clock this day. Ilkeston, Derbyshire, Feb. 11, 1842. We, the undersigned, being the Delegates of the Ilkeston Anti-Corn-law Association, are desirsus of adding our mite of information to the treasure accumulated at the present Confe rence held in the Metropolis. The population of our town is 5,600, who are chiefly of the working classes, employed either in hosiery or lace, or as colliers. We deeply regret to state that very great distress prevails. There are at present 500 individuals who have had but 10%d. per head per week. It is the complaint of the colliers that they have but half work, and much distress prevails in their families. There are families cf four, five, or six individuals, who have not anything like beds to lio upon, having sold them for food. In one case (which we state from personal ob servation) a man and his wife had but one pair of shoes, the person who went out wearing them, and the other working at home on the stocking-frame, without anything on the feet. The same parties had sold their bed for food, and we are cer tain that many others have done the same. Ono case came to our knowledge of a poor woman who had not tasted food for three days ; what she procured, she gave to her children, mother-like, and in this man ner became ill. A medical gentleman in our town declared wereited by the writer that he could take his oath that persons have been brought to a premature grave by the exhaustion arisi nggof fromtlae pa rentsdes- titutionand andsixdisethreilsdsr.en, visited A family , consisting when it was stated that scarcely five shillings had been obtained, during the last week, for their support. Two years since the Poor-rates were about 6001., last year about 1,2001., and this year they are expected to amount to 1,7001. The farmers have to complain, that their rates are now almost equal to their rent. We and our friends cannot be satisfied with anyth ng short of the total repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, the principal source, as we humbly conceive, of the miseries here deprecated, and which we feel it is impossible for us fully to describe.

PEEL'S NEW . SLIDING-SCALE. A requisition from the electors of the borough of Southwark has received 200 signatures, requesting the High Bailiff to call a Town Hall meeting, to petition the House of Commons not to accede to Sir R. Peel's proposal, and to address the Queen not to consent to the measure. The worthy High Bailiff has called the meetin A for Monday next, at tenlo'clock. METROPOLITAN YOUNG HENS' ANTI-MONO POLY ASSOCIATION. The Cent ra l Co mm ittee of this Association met on Thurs day evening, at the Comatitte Roon , Hart's Hotel, 159, Al dersgat e-street, Mr. Wlite in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been rod and confirmed, Mr. Puck rose, and, in an animated speech, moved, " That this meeting consider the modified sliding scale, as proposed by Sir Robert Peel, to be a shallow attempt to delude the public, equllly discreditable to his character as a statesman and in sulting to a suffering na ti on ." , Mr. BOOTH seconded the resolution, which was then put and carried by acclamation. TO THE EDIT 01? 01' TILE SUN. it,—No sooner was Peel's New Corn-law known here, than the ivies which many sanguine minds had entertained were dashed to the ground, and Whig and Tory alike denounce it as most unsatisfactory. It pleases Tao one, but excites the opposition of all. The agitation will now go on as rife as ever; nay, far more so ; and so far from settling the question, it will strengthen the hands of the League a thousand-fold, by show ing timid, moderate people, that they have nothing to expect, while they all join in the demand for complete justice. The Tories confess they are completely disappointed. However, we shall pursue our course with the more vigour than over, to root out ter ever the last remnant of the accursed law. Yours, &e. Manchester. A REPEALER. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Your Express Suns came by train all right—the interest was intense, scores waiting at five o'clock in the morning ; several Caine miles to get a copy, and had I had 1,500 extra ones they would all have been sold. One gentleman sent his servant off from his house (in the country) at four o'clock, to be in time for a copy, bat loud and deep were the curses upon Sir Robert and his party. I never saw or heard such a general feeling of disgust and disap. ',ointment. The hopes which had for months been cherished, that something would be done to relieve the commerce and distress of the country, were in a moment blasted; and such was the excited feelings of the hundreds, nay, I may say, thousands, who have read the speech and looked over the sliding-scale, that had Sir Robert Peel been there, they would not have left as much of him as would have baited his own rat-trap. Sir Robert's own friends here are much disappointed, for they expected at least some half measures! and had long been taunting the Liberals with " wait 'till Sir Robert brings forward his measures, and there will be a good trade, plenty of work, and good prices, and you'll bless the day tho Whigs were ousted," but they appear dreadfully chap fallen. The Chartists are in high spirits, and well they may, for thousands will become Chartists, or something more, if Sir Robert Peel has nothing better to prescribe than his " " Bleeding and warm water, plentifully taken," will not strengthen the poor famishing cutlers, &c. We look forward fot Lord John Russell's speech on Sir Robert'smeasures. I fancy Lord John, and the rest of the Liberal port ion of the House, will gave him such a castiga tion as will make him sit very uncomfortable in his seat. Your Express Sun, with the whole of the speech, has caused quite a sensation here, and people wonder how it is done: Yours in haste, &c., T. W. _ . . . I have not at all overdrawn this picture. At this moment, seven o'clock, P.M., there are hundreds congregated, discussing Sir Robert's mock measures, and the bitterness of disappointment is indescribable. 1 have not words to express the general feeling of disgust and abhorrence of Sir Ilbert's cruel insult to afamishing but patient people—they cannot, they WILL NOT, continue so long. Sheffield, Feb, 10, 1842.

Before the execu.ion they read a capital death sentence, in which he was termed the basest of Ministers." THE " SUN'S" REPORT.—Such iV the zeal and activity displayed in The Sun office, that although Sir Robert Peel did not commence his speech on the Corn-laws till after five o'clock yesterday afternoon The Sun of that evening con tained nearly four columns of the speech. We have to return our thanks to the spirited Proprietor for the copies which we received this morning.— Wiltshire Independent. DISPATCIL—We were favoured yesterday by Messrs.

I was scarcely imagined possible that a Prime Minister could offer such a mockery of relief to the starving people of this country, as that which is offered by Sir Robert in his proposed trumpery alteration of the sliding scalp. Numbers believed, from the known loose and sliding political character of the Premier, that he would have thrown the landlords overboard ; but it is now evident to the equntry, that he is bound hand and foot to those greedy and heartless monopolists. The opinion in this town is, that Sir Robert Peel and his party must be defeated with overwhelming disgrace. The Southampton people are fully prepared to renew their activity and enthusiasm to obtain a repeal of the unholy and oppressive bread•tax. A meeting of Corn-law repeaters is fixed for Monday next, at Andrews's extensive carriage bazaar. This will be one of the largest meetings ever held in this town. Two petitions, one signed by males, and the other by females, will shortly be ready for presentation, signed by a vast mul titude of persons. On the 9th tilt. a little girl, five years old, while walking With her father at Lyons, was bitten by a dog on the temple, and the poor man, in defending his child, also received a bite on the arm. On returning home, their wounds were dressed and soon healed. The child, however, gradually lost its health, and complained of constant thirst until the 2d inst., when she became enraged on being offered drink ,and continued showing all the horrible symptoms of hydrophobia till the morning of the 4th, when she expired. Thu Marquis of Hertford has recently been suffer ing from paralysis in his bands and other complaints, in con sequence of the variable state of the atmosphere. His Lord ship has, in consequence, determined to return to the Conti nent for two or three mouths. 47;? MORNING SUN FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. A man of respectable appearance, named John Budyell, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of Mr. Whitby, his employer. Mr. Chapman, the solicitor for the prosecution, stated that the case was made remarkable by the ingratitude of the pri soner to his greatest bend:oer. Mr. Whitby, skin nerchant, of Tower Royal, stated, evi dently in afflict ion, that he had treated the prisoner, who bad been twenty-five years in his service, with the greatest possible kindness. During that period extreme confidence had been reposed in the Fr:soner, with whom the customers of the house always a.clei as if they were dealing directly with the prosecutor himself. Within the last fortnight the prisoner's conduct became very irregular, and suspicion having been entertained that his accounts might be also fur k ascertainedv.which exceptionable, a that is e d es not ha d a w e r a c e s o e I .P ' b i r t 'Van ed and onet theo s um k i o o t swip. soon mr i2 it ness went to bins, and asked him about the parti culer account, when he admitted that he had made use of the money, and stated that he had lent it to a person who was in distress, and would replace it the same evening. The money, however, was not forthcoming, and it soon appeared that he had received other sums, which he had likewise appropriated to his own use, although he declared that there was no other deficiency in Isis accounts. Mr. Draper, of High Holborn, said that he dealt with Mr. Whitby's house for skins, and usually transacted business with the prisoner, in whom it was manhst the utmost confidence was placed. Witness produced the receipt of the prisoner foe 111. 4s. 4d., the price of some skins, which the house of Mr. Whitby had supplied. Mr. Whitby stated that the primer had not paid over the 'amount to bins, and that there were several other cases against the prisoner. The LORD MA YOH, expressed much regret at being obliged to say that the instances of flagrant abuse of trust were daily increasing, and that to cheek so great an evil which could be perpetrated to a snore serious extent in a commercial city than elsewhere, and the consequences of which had been often ruinous to honest and industrious employers, it would be alp.. solutely necessary to let no case pass without prosecution. The prisoner \vas ?emended till Wednesday next. The Lost') Ma volt had scarcely concluded his observations upon the preceding case when Daniel Forre s t er , t h e *f a cer. brought up in custody a clerk us one of th e Ci ty Bank i ng houses, upon the charge of having misapprop r i ate d 1101., the property of his employers. Mr. Bustle, the Solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for Protection from Forgeries and Frauds, appeared for the pro secution, but the prisoner having remonstrated against entering into details, as he had been but a shirt tima charged with the offence, and was consequently taken by surprise, the case Was most readily postponed upon the part of the banking house, and the prisoner was requested to name a day himself for going into the investigation. The case was then postponed till Tuesday next.
