Erbixt Vaßittion SUN-OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE. (THIS DAY.) Mr. WHITEHEAD (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition) said—He was quite certain that not more than eleven or twelve persons were now in business who were in business ten sears ago. Only five had retired from business during that period, and of those five he would take one of the most cards!, one who understood his business well. He was at present a member of the town-council. He had eaten the bread of care fuiness, and he declared that for some years before he retired from business he had lost 2001. a year. He would then take the second class of tradesmen, namely, the shopkeepers residing in the suburbs. It was a lamentable thing to see the condition in w hi c h they were placed. Not less than 400 of them had failed in the time he had mentioned, and not one had retired from ',business. He could state on the authority of many of them-- no, he could not say many of them in proportion to the whole cumber, but of five or six—that they could not support themselves by their business, if they had not other property besides. Now if these men were to be credited, no one could doubt how much worse must be the great miss of those who actually depended en their credit for their trade. It was not to be attributed to ex traerdinary competition. He had seen eleven tradesmen, and they told him that three years ago they received 5701. a-week in their retail business, and now they only received 2771. ( Hear. hear, hear.) He would just allude to what had fallen from Mr. Jolinson regarding tea. It was well known that females had a great predeliction for tea, but it was an unfortunate thing to see able-bodied men obliged to take one cup of weak tea, instead of a suhetantial meal.— (Hear. hear, hear.) They were not to judge of the .consumption of food by the revenue, for many families did not know the taste of meat. He could say a great deal about th butchers, but it would be useless. He had called upon a butcher in Leeds to propose one of the resolutions at the meet ing to which he had alluded, but he said he would not : and upon his asking his reason, he said that if he spoke he should tell a straightforward matte r-ot-fact tale, which not one out of ten weeld believe. He said, "lam a man of pre ;perty ; if I tell you I am not living by my business, you will not believe me ; yet at the present mo ment I am not living by my business, and were it not for the property I possess I should be obliged to fail as ot h ers babe done."—(Loud cheers.) He went to another butcher, and he said that during the last four years he had lost 500/. by his retail trade. He had had no particular losses. He slid tie thought ho would do hest if he went out of business, and live upon what he had, than to keep ,oa his business. This was a most industrious man, end always paid cash for his stock, therefore he took him as a criterion, and an authority which he relied upon. He further said that he would let his shop if he could get the amount of his fixtures. He would next take the shoe•deal erte for the first article of clothes that would be required by a per son who could afford any at all, was, shoes. One of these dealers had told him that he used to take SOL , where he now only took 40/. He had consulted six shoemakers who, two years ago, employed 104 men, and they now employed 33 men and one boy. He would then make a few remarks respecting the drapers, they had suffered more than almost any other class. He believed that there were but few drapers, not men of property, who were able to carry on their business. The hatters declared that their receipts were diminished one-half. Several of them, at the meeting to which he had referred, had declared that they could not carry on their business, not in the most economical manner. The bookseller and newspaper proprietors were also suffering from this distress. One fact he would mention of a gentleman who kept a shop in Briggate, the principal street in the town, who stated that six months ago he sold fifty dozen a week more of penny publications, such as Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, than he did at present. The state of things was such as it was impossible to describe. 'she rates and taxes were enormous. In many cases the rents bad been reduced from 30 to 40 per cent. within the last four months. He might detain them at much greater length on this subject, but he feared that his statements had already been tedious.—(No, no.) But he now wished to make a few ob servations respecting the peculiar position in which the ship eiwners of this country were placed. It might not be generally known to the meeting that the tea dealers of the United King dom amounted to 100,600, that number including every one who took out a license to sell tea. If they included all the other shopkeepers at another 100,000, and allowed seven to each family, they then had 1,400,000 persons who were in a fair way of being reduced to a state of destitution and poverty. The shopkeepers might justly ask, as they did, why were not their interests protected ?—( Hear, hear.) For his own part he could see no use in a Government which did not answer that end.—( Hear, hear.) They saw the Government protecting the property of the fund-bolder and the property of the lea holder ; it did not protect the property of the shopkeeper— ( Hear, hear) —it did not protect the property of the mer • chant and the manufacturer, and least of all did it protect the property of the operative. Nor was that all. The Government, he contended, did not protect the life of the operative.--(Hear, hear.) Thousands of .operatives were gradually being brought to a premature grave. --( Hear, hear.) What, then, were men to think of th Go vernment ? Who could respect such a Government ? He, for one, could not. They were either too ignorant to understand the true interests of the people, or if they did understand them, they knowingly legislated for their own selfish purposes. If They were ignorant, the Constitution ought to be changed Crthwitle and the people ought no longer to be left in the hands of a corrupt and selfish Government —if they really slid understand the question, and knew that they were sacrificing the interests of the great body of the people for the sake of a particular class, then there were men who might charge them in a short time with the crime of murder.—(Hear, hear.) He saw no difference himself between the man who met another on the highway and presented a pistol at his breast; he saw not the slightest difference between that man and the Government who, for selfish purposes, were prepared to sacrifice millions of their fellow-subjects. He had no desire to excite the working-classes ; but when ever he had touched upon an exciting topic he had invariably seen the chord vibrate. They were like a Sharrel of gunpowder, ready to explode in a moment, bad they but a dozen leaders to direct their movements. He held in his hand an extract from a work published by 'sir J. Graham, though not, he was sorry to say, very re cenrly.—(Laughter. ) He thought the passage could not he too roll known. In his pamphlet on " Corn and Currency," Sir James Graham stated " that the paramount duty of every Government is attention to the interests of the community, in which the labourers must form the great majority. The right of property is itself instituted, not for the few who possess wealth and honours, but of the many who have them not. If the majority are deeply injured, the public peace is in danger ; if the majority want food, private property becomes a nuisance." —( A voice, " Well done, Sir James Graham.") Why Sir James had since changed his principles, he knew, nut. For him self, after long consideration, he was confirmed in the opinion that when the majority wanted food private property became a nuisance.—( Hear.) Before he sat down, he wished to state a sew facts respecting his native town—the town of Sutton-in jtshfield, in Nottinghamshire. That town contained 6,000 inhabitants and 1,100 houses. Out of the 1,100 houses not le ase than 600 paid poor-rates. The amount of poor-rates was about Bs. in the pound. A large cotton-mill which had been in existence several years, had stopped within the last two months. .The state of the village would be much worse but for the allot ment system, which had been carried out to such an extent by the Duke of Portland and others, that one-sixth of the inhabitants had a -piece of garden to assist them. He had recently been. in the gown. As he was conversing wlllt a friend on the state of the { s own, his friend remarked, that only a few days ago as he was -fusing to his own house he met an individual, whom he me -warmed by name. He wondered why he looked so melan choly, and why he saes wandering about the lane, and ad dressed the man upon the subject. At first he refused to give any explanation ; but when pressed he said, " I have had nothing to eat since yesterday at noon, - hut that I do not care so much about ; but my family and children are crying for bread, and I could not bear to hear them."—( Hear, hear.) It had been stated by some one with respect tot he present state of things (he believed by Sir H. Peel)—that it was the will of Providence that the .country should be in its present condition.—(Cries of -" Shame.") He was at a loss to know hOw any rational --man could make use of such an expression. He really e thought it was a libel on the Deity to say that it was .1 4 ,,tte Divine will that thousands of our fellow beings she uld starve for want of food, while there were numbers .i .„is e sg in luxury and wealth.—(Hear, hear.) On looking .-nroune him he saw that the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, ant i even the meanest reptile that crawled on the ground, had its wants supplied, and yet man, who was formed in the _image of his Creator, man who was himself the el lord of «of the creation, was unable to g et a mors bread for himself And those who were dependent eupon him. It was not the operatives alone, but tthe middle classes themselves, whose interests were at stake, ,If the repeal of the Corn-laws were delayed much longer, it Would be of little use to the country; it would he too late to eceedy the evil ; it would be like shutting the stable door is hen the steed was gone. Mr. SPEED, of Leeds, then rose to address the meeting, and was most enthusiastically received. He had often said, when .called before his fellow- operatives, that he rose with reluctance; the always did so because he was not in his element in public .speaking.—(Cheers.): Those who had addressed the meeting before him had left him nothing to do.—( Cheers.) The meet ling had heard the flowers of Leeds, and they had lift him no thing to say.—( Cheers.) He must however be allowed to say few words. During the latter part of the last year a number of Operatives in Leeds saw and felt a considerable degree of distress ; they wished to help themselves if they could, and their -fellow operatives, but how they were to do that was the question with them.—(Cheers.) They had no pecuniary means, and at last they determined to form an Association, to be called " The Leeds Unemployed Operative Committee." Men from every shop became members of that Society; they subscribed one penny a week each, and upwards of 50/. was raised by that mean s. It eas true that they might have got more, that they might have had 5/. from Mr. Beckett, but they wished to steer clear of politics. —( Cheers.) He believed if they called the society the Inhumanity Preventive Society, it would have a better effect than calling it the Anti-Illonopoly Society,.— ( Cheers. ) In the society to which he had alluded, certain enumerators were appointed, and from their proceedings it appeared that 1,936 persons who were employed in Leeds, were in the receipt' of only about 'lid. a week each. Such a state of things had been reported to Sir _James Graham. He lamented, or at least he said that he la.. merited, the sad condition of the people.—(Cheers.) But he would tell him, that pity without relief was looked upon in the North as little or nothing.—(Cheers.) Is might e be said that there was some party feeling in all this—that was not the case. The only object they ba d in view wag humarn and to excite public spepathy ; that sympathy bad been excited, and the mere inquiry that was made, the more every one was •couvineed they were right. It was clearly seen that some 'thing must be done, and the wealthy inhabitants of Leeds sub -gentled upwards of 7,000/. for so patriotic a purpose. That amount was properly distributed and as gratefully rece ived ; it afforded many a hearty meal ; it pre served many from starving, and others from a premature grave—(Cheers)—but that sum could r.ot last for ever; it had become exhzusted, and the operatives were now left to starve, because instead of getting more they got less work.—(Cheers. ) Charity was all very well, but when applied to a wanting popu lation it was only like a gleam of sunshine on a wintry day. The worthy Delegate then proceeded to show the distress that , was existing in Leeds, and in doing so stated that of 166 gigs formerly employed, not more than •20 were in full work, 42 worked only part time, and 104 were -standing still. This showed the condition to which the population was reduced. With respect to his own family, he might say there were five brothers, and he could venture to say that upon the average they had not worked mor e than 21 days a week. With respect to the working men genera ll y , such was thei r con di t i on t h at if they went to their sick-club they would not receive a farthing, be -cause They were not cle ar on the books . _(Cheers.) lie had :seen many eases of dis tress : at one p lace that be visited the cdoor was fastened, and the old woman wh o lived close by *Wed to him that the reason the y ke p t it so was, that they -were afraid of the bailiffs. Wh en be went into th e house the scene that presented itself was heart rending in th e extreme. In another place he found the fa ther and mother gone out t 9 find work, and the children were lying on what was called a bed, but which was undeserving the na me: such were the scenes w hich he had witnessed in enlightened England. In another place he ! had visited, although every thing around was clean, he would not have given one shilling for all the bed they had. Such was the state of things that was at present going on; and, in I addition to this, he could take them to the house of a man who had been highly respectably brought I up, who, although the pianoforte still graced his room, was in the greatest penury and distress. And such . persona as these were to be called paupers.—( Cheers.) For i his own part, if he had to make a new grammar, the word " pauper" should be omitted—(Cheers)—because, as he under stood it, the word pauper meant a vagabond ; but the man who was honest, however great his difficulties, was not a pauper.—(Loud and continued cheering.) As he was Now probably as near to Sir R. Peel as he ever should be, be might perhaps be permitted to give him a few words of advice. —(Cheers.) " You, Sir Robert Peel, complimented the working classes in the Queen's Speech for their great pa tience.' Again, he would say that the men of the north thought as little of pity without relief as of a shadow without the substance.—( Cheers.) Sir R. Peel had professed a great I deal latterly for the working classes, but he was sorry to say he had done but little. It had been clearly shown by Mr. Bright of Rochdale, that his sliding-scale was a delusion, and it had been shown also that the tariff was little better.—(Cheers. ) The working classes could see and think—(Cheers) — they knew that they were not represented—( Cheers ) —and they knew that the voice of the people was not honestly spoken in the House of Commons. —(Cheers.) Now the motto he would use would be "Justice to one; justice to all."—(Cheers.) He would say, let the ; landed rich proprietor have for his ground what it was worth.— (Cheers.) Let the enterprising British merchant have for his cloth what it was worth— (Increased cheering)—and let the ingenious operative have for his labour a full and fair remue ration—( Continued cheering)—and if it was the design of Providence that England should follow in the wake of Greece and of Rome, let that be proved by Providence, and not by theory.—( Cheers.) If not, and disturbance should take place, no doubt Sir It. Peel would take steps to put it down, but in his opinion the greatest riot to be feared was the riot in men's empty stomachs. " Let labour have its due," but it never would have its due until the markets of the world should be open to us. The CHAIRMAN then requested that those Delegates who were desirous of addressing the Conference would leave their names in the next room with Mr. Hicker or Mr. Wellday. The Delegates were also requested to leave their London address in a book provided fur that purpose. It was also announced that in consequence of the unexpected and gratifying largeness of the attendance on that day, the con ference would be held to-morrow, at eleven o'clock, in the large room at the Crcwn and Anchor Tavern.—( Cheers.) Mr. G. THOMPSON, the Secretary, said that this day had been devoted to receiving the statements of the Delegates, and that it had been deemed expedient to postpone the discussion of measures of relief until all the Delegates should have arrived. He would, therefore, call upon Mr. Coates, a Delegate from the Tower Hamlets, to address the meeting. Mr. COATES had never risen under greater difficulty to ad dress a public meeting, for his feelings had been so harrowed up by the distressing details to which he had listened, and where he felt acutely, he expressed himself strongly, that he hardly dared to trust himself to give expression to those feelings of shame and indignation which burned in his bosom. These things might have been supposed to have happened in some mean, poor, petty, or despotic state ; but when he heard these things and called to mind the wealth—(Cheers) —the philanthropy —(Cheers)—and, more than all, the religion—( Loud cheering)—of the country, he was ashamed of the name of Briton, and felt that we must become the scoff of every enlightened nation.—(Cheers.) If the Legisla ture and the Government had determined on making some desperate experiment as to how far the feelings of the people might go—( Cheers )—.if they had been engaged in some cruel, cold attempt to ascertain to what degree of starvation and suf fering the people would patiently submit—( Cheers)—he could understand the course of policy pursued by the Administration. They had been constantly met with compliments to the work ing classes on the patience, good order, and meekness, with which they had submitted to their sufferings. That was the course which had been pursued by Sir Robert Peel. The time might come when the working classess would discover that they had reached a degree of suffering, to submit to which was consistent neither with virtue nor with patriotism.—(Loud cheers.) If that time ever should arrive, the impatience of the people would hare been occasioned solely by cruelty and ire j ustice.—( Cheers.) if he thought that by his presence at that meeting he was even indirectly signifying that he placed the smallest confidence in the House of Commons, or in the Go vernment, he would at once quit the room. He felt he should be fostering a delusion if lie were to seek to induce a belief that they had anything to expect from either the House of Commons or the Government. The House of Commons would do nothing for them ; but by their attendance there, they would prove to the whole world how little the House of Commons sympathised with the suffering millions.—( Cheers.) The Daily Journals ought to have been ashamed to record that when the distresses of the working classes—the creators of wealth—were to be inquired into by the House of Commons—when the inquiry had been com menced, and commenced in such a manner that Sir Robert Peel had been afraid to oppose the adjournment of the debate —that at such a time they could not make a House, as had been the case last night—(Cries of " Shame, shame I")—that there could not be found 40 Members to sympathise with the sufferings of the people was most disgraceful.--(Loud cheers.) He thought it was too much the habit of their liberal friends in Parliament to bandy compliments with Sir Robert Peel. They heard a great deal of Sir Robert Peel's commisseration for the working classes. Lord John Russell had said that he had not the smallest doubt but that the Right Hon. Baronet felt the greatest commisseration for the state of the working classes. He (Mr. Coates) did doubt it very mueh. ! —(Cheers, and cries of "So do we.") Men were generally actuated by motives and feelings, and he could not understand that sympathy which stood by and did nothing.—(Loud cheers.) From thirty years observation of Sir Robert Peel's public conduct he pronounced him to be a weak and a dan gerous Minister. Since the days of Pitt a more unprincipled man had never governed this ill-fated country.—(Loud cheers.) To all the vices of Pitt Peel added that worst of all vices hypocrisy.—( Vehement cheering.) He once gave to Peel, and to the party of which Peel was the leader, the beneit of the plea of ignorance ; he thought that they were really ig norant of the truly beneficent principles of free trade ; but such was not the case. Since the days of Huskisson, it ap peared that Sir Robert Peel and his party had been in love with the principles of free trade; and what had they done in consequence, to modify our commercial cede? They had ap plied the principles of free trade very ingeniously to a great many unimportant matters, and considered that the prineiples of free trade were so excellent, that even this moderate appli cation of them would enable the nation to support the in fliction of an Income-tax.—(Loud cheers.) Sir Robert Peel had observed that there was no unmixed good in nature, and had determined that there should be none of his measures without a mixture of evil, taking care at the same time that the evil should vastly preponderate.—( Cheers.) If cheap beef was such a benefit why not cheap bread ?—( Loud cheers. ) Why not cheap coffee and cheap sugar?—(Loud cheers.) How had the nation been treated in the article of sugar, after having made a present to the West Indian planters of 20,000,000 of money ? The naton had been taxed for them 5,000,000 a year ever since. Instead of unfolding the great principles of commerce, the Government had been engaged in coining doits for the use of the people—(Laughter)—and considering the chandler-shop, huckstering, miserable measures of the present Government, he doubted not but that it would be known in history as the half-farthing Administration.--(Loud cheers and laughter.) They were told all this frightful distress was to be relieved by charity. Charity began at home, and there were thousands to whom the begging-box had been held out who stood as much in need of charity as those did for whom the subscription was solicited. He had been ap plied to by the Churchwardens of his parish in the country; he 'ook them into the room, shut the door, and then, instead of a sttbscrii tion, he had given them—for he had not sent them empty away-4 lecture on the Corn-laws.—(Ceera and laughter.) He (Mr. Coates) had opposed this begging-letter, because he would not lend himself to delusion. He considered that it was a degradation to the clergy to be asked to read that letter in their churches, but he supposed as it was their duty, they must submit to it. If he were a clergyman who was desired to read the letter, he would call on them to curse those who withheld corn from them. With respect to the Tower Hamlets—the district with which he was connected—he was not furnished with any minute details, but I,e was aware that in almost every department of trade, the condition of the people was gradually deteriorating. r tainly, in one part of the district, which bordered upbn the water, the shipping trade was in rather a brisk state, but the principal activity was in those dockyards in which the Government vessels were fitted up. There was one large class of persons in the Tower Hamlets district, the publicans arid innkeepers, who he could attest were suffering very severe distress. If that proceeded from the pre valence of temperanee ho would be the first to rejoice at it, but when he knew that the labouter was able to drink nothing but water while the Duke of Buckingham drank ehampaigne, lie was shocked at the inequality that existed in the condition of different members of the community. He had said that they could rot look to the House of Commons for relief, further than they could work on the fears of that assembly. They would get nothing from their sense of justice, and that system could go on increasing as long as the people were patient, and submitted to it. With respect to Sir ft. Peel and the Conservative party, he never expected anything from them, but he was bound to say that the Liberal Members of the House of Commons had disappointed him. And if men of rank and education would not perform the duties which devolved upon them as representatives of the people in the Legislature, they must address men who, like the operatives wi.o had addressed there that day, would bring honest and firm purpose to the discharge of their duties. The CHAIRMAN said that it had been agreed upon to adjourn earls day's proceedings at three o'clock. It now only wanted half an houriof that time, and he thought it better that the meet ing should stand adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock. air. J. SCORLE said, that he should not have ventured to obtrude himself at the present early period of the meet ing of the delegates, but for some observations that had fsllen from the last speaker. That gentleman had rightly in culcated the necessity of union and honesty of purpose among those who had that great object in view that brought the pre sent meeting together. He generally concurred in that gen tleman's observations with reference the the House of Commons and Ministers. But he (Mr. Scoble) wished to impress upon their minds, that they had enemies both within and without the camp, who advocated the most liberal opinions in public life, and shrunk from those opinions in private, when in the society of Members of Par liament—men who pretended to be friends of the Anti-Corn law League, but who did not boldly dare to support it in private. When he considered the immense wealth, intelli gence, and public spirit represented at an early part of the present year, by the Assembly which had then met in London to promote the cause now under consideration—when he looked at the vast efforts made by the influential members of the Assembly, and the little impression which those efforts made upon the public mind, and upon both Houses of Parliament, he attributed t ha failure altogether to the practice of certain parties maintain ing in public principles and opinions from which they shrunk when in the company of Members of Parliament. Ho citation, cl the meeting against those individuals, arid he called upot, such individuals, whose conscience upbraided them with ibex conduct, either to abandon the Anti-Corn-law League altogether, or to do their duty as members of it manfully and honestly, in order to the accomplishment of the great object view. Mr. BucxtrAnT would not have troubled the meeting hut from the observations of the Delegate for the Tower Hamlets, relative ti, the prosperity of the shipping interest. 'I hat gentleman had derived his information most probably !lOW persons in connection with the London and St. Kathe rine's Dock, and from merchants, but he (Mr. 13uckhart) had an intitnate knowledge of the East and West India Docks, and he had received communications from the shipwrights and operatives connected with the shipping interest, who stated nothingeer could be but who who farther from prosperty thantheir was there greater distress among those operatives than w at th e present time. He knew of himself 500 shipwrights to be o u t o f em ployment, and except those employ ed in fitting out shi p s of w ar , t learn, the vast majority of the workmen w ere out of o employment. A OgyrLzgAw whose name we did n stated that he was a Deputy from Rotherhithe, confirmed the statement of Mr. Bochart, Mr. COATES explained—He laid it would be in the recollec testi of the meeting that his statement, Oat the . prosperity of the shipwriAts applied only to those employed Wing out vessels of war and for foreign service, and therefore his Ow. ations corresponded yigh t)39Sf of tin hot two sentiemenr THE SUN, LONDON, Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON said he deemed it of importance to remark that it was the opinion of many concerned in the duty of calling together the present 'Meetings of Delegates, that the De putation should be continued in town until the last hour of the present session of Parliament.—(Cheers. ) It was the feeling of some, at least, when the Delegates were last in town, that had they delayed their departure they would have produced a much greater effect.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, therefore, would do well to get their Commissions prolonged, or at all events, to get substitutes from the districts they represented.—(Cheers.) Mr. ASHDOWN then proceeded to address the meeting. He should not have trespassed on their attention at that late mo ment, were it not that he found he should be unable to attend to-morrow. He had heard it suggested that they should con tinue to sit until the adjournment of Parliament ; but he would ask how teas it to be expected that a vast number of Delegates, who were engaged in the same hard warfare, with circumstances to which the gentlemen who had preceded him had alluded, would leave their pursuits and business in order to attend, day after day, in order to hear statements of distress which were known to every one. He had at tended the Conference at the Crown and Anchor four months ago. A vast number of Delegates were present on that occasion ; but he would a.sk what they had done? They had, as the eloquent Mr. Thomp , on observed, separated without coming to any resolution. Were they to do so again ?.--( Cries of "NO.") The manufacturers in England who bad suffered from the existing state of our Legistature, had I assembled together ; and he would ask them whether they were prepared to suffer any longer? He told the manufacturers of England that it was for them to put an end to the great evils under which the country laboured. The shopkeepers of this metropolis were not suffering so deeply as she inhabitants of the manufactnring districts; a large portion of the wealth .1 the landowners was spent among them, and against the class on which they so much depended they could never be brought to combine, unless some practical object was held out for their attainment..—( Hear, hear.) He wished further to tell that meeeting that without the aid of the inhabitants of the metropolis they never could effect their pur pose. Now he had a plan to propose for the adoption of the manufacturers of England. It was stated that manufacturers had been of late selling at an actual loss. Why then did they not close up their mills altogether? They could not suffer much by taking such a course ; and when Sir R. t'eel saw the whole support of the people thrown upon the Government, he would be compelled to make terms with the manufacturers. If the manufacturers did not support the people, the land should sup port them, and a burthen would thus be thrown upon the landed interest, which they would feel it their interest nut long to submit to. Let the manufacturers put a stop to their works and such a eourse would speedily be attended with effe' to which they could never hope to follow from resolutions agreed to day after day " full of sounfi and fury, signi;ying nothing." The classes who suffered from the injustice of our legislation, by adopting the plan he had proposed, would mani!est their own strength, and would make it felt by the class from whom they suffered. A definite object would thus be placed in view ; and that justice which had: been denied as a right would be spee dily yielded by the fears of those who abused power for their own selfiish purposes.—( Cheers. ) A MEMBER of the Committee here proposed to Mr. Ash down that he should attend the Executive Committee that evening, when his suggestion would be taken into consideration. The meetii.g then adjourned until to-morrow at I I o'clock, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in London, before the LORI) CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) THUMPS V. OFFALO. This was an action of d t, to which was set off a contract . The plaintiff is an extensi foreign merchant, and the defend ant the London representative of a Moorish house at Mogadore. The case occupied the whole morning, and presented nothing of the slightest interest except the stately figures and the rich costumes of some Moorish witnesses. ' TIE REVENUE.—Notwithstanding the predictions which have been promulgated respecting a falling off in the revenue, we are happy in being able to state that the accounts which will be made up this evening will exhibit an increase of upwards of 200,0001. above the corresponding quarter of last year. In the Customs there is a falling off in the quarter's revenue of nearly 200,0001., which is to be attributed chiefly, if not altogether, to the delay in passing the tariff through the House of Commons. There is also a decrease on the malt duty, owing, no doubt, to the bad harvest of last year, but the increase on other articles of excise and miscellaneous duties fully compensate for the decrease in Ihe Customs and malt ; and will show an increase on the quarter, as above stated, of upwards of 200,0001. The Post Office revenue has increased 20,000/. in the quarter. Stamps remain about the same. The revenue of the financial year ending to-day, we understand, w►ll exhibit an increase of upwards of 200,0001. Tory Paper COURSE OF EXCH.?

I have the honour to report my arrival here this day ; and I have been much gratified at finding the garrison in so very healthy a state, and have been much struck by the strength of the works which have been erected by the indefatigable exer tions of the force under Major-General Sir R. Sale, K. C.B. GENERAL ORDER BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GO VERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA. " Head-quarters, Allahabad, April 30, 1842. " he Governor-General has received a report from Major- General Pollock, C 8., dated the 16th instant, announcing his arrival at Jellalabad. " The Major-General has thus carried into effect the orders of the Government in a manner which entitles him to the highest approbation. Receiving the command of the army at Pcshawur under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, he has in the midst of new and unforeseen embarrassments and disappointir ents, pre.. served a firm mind, and justly relying upon his own judgment, he has at last, with equal discretion and decision, accomplished the olject he was directed to effect. " The Governor-General requests Major-General Pollock to accept his acknowledgments of the good service he has thus rendered to the Government of India, and begs lie will com municate to the Gallant Officers and troops under his com mand, the entire satisfaction with which their conduct has been regarded on this occasion. " The Governor-General has already in communicating the despatch ft ern Major-General Sir Robert Sale, K. C. li., dated the 7th instant, expressed his high sense of his services of that officer and of the garrison of Jellalabad, terminating on that day by a decisive victory, which would have left nothing to desire had Colonel Dennie survive• to enjoy it. " The garrison of Jellalabad having on that day achieved its safety by its own prowess, and being now re-united to the army by the movements of the force under the command of Major-General Pollock, 8.C., it remains only for the Go vernor-General to testify his opinion of the just claims of that garrison to the gratitude of the Government and of their country. " The Governer-General is pleased to direct that the second company of the 6th battalion of Artillery shall hear upon its appointments, and the sth Regiment of Light Infantry upon its standards and appointments, arid the 35th Regiment of Native Infantry upon its colours and appointments, a mural crown, superscribed as a memorial of the forti tude, perseverance, and enterprise, evinced by those several corps during the blockade of Jellalabad. "'I he Governor-General is likewise pleased, in conformity with the recommendation of his Excellency the Commander in-Chief, to direct, that in order to give additional and last ing honours to the 25th Native Infantry, whilst it benefits the service generally, that corps shall hereafter be made a light in fantry regiment, the duties of which it is already so well ac quainted with, and has performed with so much seal anti spirit.' " The Governor-General is further pleased to direct that a silver medal be made for every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, European and native, who belonged to the garrison of Jellalabad, on the 7th of April, 1842, such medals to be all similar, and to bear on one side a mural crown, superscribed Jellalabad,' and on the other side the words April 7, 1842.' " The Government of India will present such medal to every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, European and native, belonging to their service, and will request the home authorities to lay before her Majesty their most hum ble prayer that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to per mit the Major-General Commanding, and the officers, non commissioned officers, and privates in her Majesty's service, 'who formed part of he garrison of Jellalabad. to receive and wear a medal similar to that which will be so presented to their brothers in arms, " The Governor-General, taking into consideration the many great privations to which the troops composing the garrison of Jellalabad were exposed during the blockade of that place, and the noble fortitude with which all such privations were borne, as well as the various losses the troop: sustained, is pleased to direct that a donation of six months' batty be made to all the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, European and Natives, who composed the garrison of Jellalabad on the 7th of April, 1842. The Governor-General will request his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Army to give instructions in due time that t he several corps composing the garrison of Jellalabad may, on their return to India, be received at all the stations on their route to their cantonments, by all the troops at such stations, in review order with presented arms.

Mr. AINSWORTH gave notice that on clause No. 3 of the Mines and Collieries Bill being considered, he should move an amendment, defining the age and number of hours which should be fixed fur the employment of children in mines. Mr. HUME moved for some return, in continuation of a former return ordered by the House, the terms of which did not reach the gallery. THE DUIDAg AFFAIR. Lord WORSLEY rose and said—Mr. Speaker, I wish to ask the Right Hon. the Secretary-at-War, whether the report so generally circulated, as to the Hon. Col. Henry Dundas having used language disrespecful to her Majesty, has attracted the notice of the official authorities, and whether an inquiry has been made as to the truth of that report. I should be happy if I can ascertain that such is not the case ; but if lam informed that it is so, I should like to know whether the official autho rities have in any way marked their displeasure. Sir H. HARI)INGE said, in answer to the question put by the Noble Lord, I have to state that Colonel the Hon. Henry Dundas was requested by the Commander in -Chief, immediately on the circumstances re ferred to by the Noble Lord being known, to furnish such explanation as he had to offer. Having given that explanation the Commander-in- Chief thought that Colonel the Hon. Henry Dundas had failed to absolve himself from the grave offence which had been imputed to him of having spoken disre spectfully of her Majesty; and under those circumstances the General Commanding-in-Chief felt it to be his duty to submit to her Majesty that Colonel, the lion. Henry Dundas be dismissed from his office of Queen's Aide-de- Camp ; and further, that Colonel, the Hon. Henry Dun das, be removed from the copiimand of the 83d Regiment. and placed on half-pay.—(Loud cheers.) Her Majesty's Government entirely concur in that measure, and her Majesty has been pleased to signify her approval of the recommendation of the General Ccmmanding-in-Chief. —(Cheers.) That decision has been communicated to Colonel Dundas.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, Secretary for the Home Department, if he intended to introduce a Bill in the course of the pre sent Session, with respect to the College of Physicians and the College of Surgeons ? He wished to know whether the Right Hon. Gentleman intended to in troduce a Bill with respect to the charter, of these two colleges, and supposing that Bill altered these charters, if it was the intention of the Right Hon. Baronet that the Bill should come into operation before Parliament met again. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was his intention. as he had before stated in answer to a similar question to bring before the House a Bill authorising her Majesty to grant a now charter to the College of Physicians. It was also his intention to advise the granting of a new charter to the College of Surgeons, and these two charters would certainly be in operation before the next meeting of Parliament. Lord SANDON wished to know if power would be given under these charters to grant degrees ? Sir J. GRAHAM said it was not intended that such authority should be given, because that authority was not wanted. Lord J. RUSSELL wished to know what change would be made in the present charter ? Sir J. GRAHAM would be prepared to state to the House the details when he introduced the Bill. Mr. EWART would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether the charter proposed would exempt the institu tion from the effect of the Medical Reform Bill, and whether they would be exempt from the effects of the Medical Reform Bill to be introduced next session. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said be must give the same answer as to the Noble Lord. He should move for leave to bring in the Bill, and then it would be his duty to state to the House, what the precise provisions of the Bill were. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know if the charter would affect the College of Physicians in Ireland. Sir J. GRAHAM' answer was inaudible in the gallery. . _ NEWCASTLE ELECTION. The SPEAKER informed the House that the recog nizances on the petition against the return of Mr. Colquhoun were unobjectionable. BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS (No. 2) BILL. On Lord 3. RUSSELL stating his intention of post poning till Thursday next, his motion for the appoint ment of a Select Committee on this Bill. Mr. COCHRANE rose to explain something which he had said the other evening whilst speaking on the sub ject of the Bridport Election. He had never said that he thought these matters should go before a Committee at all. The facts were these : when Mr. War burton presented his petition to the House, he (Mr. Cochrane) did beg that an early day might be named, that he might have an opportunity of refuting that petition, which he did. Then, when the Right Hon. Baronet had agreed that that petition was to be referred to a Committee, and the question came to be whether it should go before Mr. Roebuck's or another Committee, he (Mr. Cochrane) said, to save the time of the House,. he thought it would be preferable that it should go be fore Mr. Roebuck's Committee, but he never did say that it should be referred to a Committee at all. He never did entertain the opinion that cases of bribery and corruption should go before a Committee, he thought rather that the matter should be fully dis cussed in that House. He thought, too, after the avowal of the Hon. Memb. r for Finsbury, that he had spent between 30,000/. and 40,000/. at Reading, he could not find much fault with him (Mr. Cochrane) if he admitted that he had been guilty of bribery and compromise.—. (Cries of Oh, oh," and laughter.) One thing hz would say, however, which was this, . that in appearing before the Committee, he (Mr. Cochrane) should give up no documents whatever, and ehould answer no questions but such as he thought fit. He congratulated the House upon one subject, and that was the perfect harmony which resulted from that Commit tee. The Hon. Member for Bath's kindness and courtesy were really quite astonishing ; and he thought the Hon. Member's character hitherto must have been very extra ordinary, when Honourable Members felt it necessary to praise him so highly because he bad not in sulted them.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The proceedings of the Committee were now closed, at least the Hon. Member for Bath had adjourned his Committee till Thursday, and he announced his intention of conducting it in future on a different system. What that system would b€, he (Mr. Cochrane) did not know. His opinion was that justice could never be obtained by unjust means, and that an illegal means was always ax unjust one. He begged to say that he should appear before the Commit tee, but that he should only answer what questions he thought fit. Mr. W. PATTEN was understood to say, that in the absence of the Member for Bath he supposed he was safe in saying that he should withdraw the motion. POOR LAW BILL. Captain PECHELL stated that reports were afloat all over the country that it was the intention of Government not to proceed with this Bill as it now stood. He wished to know from the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was the intention of the Goverment to pro ceed with the Bill as it now stood ? Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he had not heard the reports to which the Hon. Member referred ; like many other reports, it was entirely unfounded. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. Messengers from the Lords appeared at the table with certain Bills from the House of Lords. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY-ADJOURNED DEBATE. Sir R. PEEL said he should propose that on to-mor row the House should resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, and that it should have precedence of the othar Orders. • He hoped that would answer the object of the . Hon. Member, as they could then proceed with the ad journed debate on his Motion. • Mr: WALLACE was perfectly satisfied. He had no individual wish on the subject, and the House might act as it thought proper. LONDON BRIDGE APPROACHES BILL. On the motion of the Earl of LINCOLN this Bill was postponed till to-morrow. CHARITABLE PAWN OFFICES (IRELAND) BILL' . • . Mr. GREENE brought up the Report on this Bill. MINES AND COLLIERIES BILL. Lord ASHLEY said, he hoped the Hon. Member for Bolton, who was the only person now in the way of this -Bill, would allow it to proceed. If it was allowed to go over this night, he did not know when he might be able to bring it forward. He therefore earnes.ly and seriously put it to the Hon. Member whether he would be kind enough to allow the Bill to go through its last stage ? Mr. AINSWORTH was s wry he could not agree to the request of the Noble Lord. He had prepared the clause of which he had given notice, and he could not let the Bill pass without moving it. Mr. LAMBTON thought if the House agreed on such a course the Bill might be proceeded with. Lord HOWICK thought the Bill would be better dis cussed now than at a late hour of the night. After some conversation Mr. AINSWORTH, in de ference to the general feeling of the House, withdrew his objection, the third reading being a dropped order, to be taken after the other Orders of the Day were disposed of. BIIIBERY AT ELECTIONS BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the following Mem bers from the Select Committee on Bribery at Elections: Lord J. Russell, Sir R. Peel, Viscount Sandon, Mr. Solicitor General, Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Sir Thomas Wilde, Sir George Grey, The.siger, Mr. Darby, Mr. Charles Wood, Mr. Thomas buncombe, Mr. Ma caulay, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Mr. Aglionby, and Sir Thomai Fremantle.—Agreed to. COLONIAL PASSENGERS BILL. Lord STANLEY moved the third reading of the Co lonial Passengers Bill. Mr HAWES was surprised that the Noble Lord should have moved the third reading of this Bill, as he had been promised by the Noble Lord that he should have ample notice of his doing so. Lord STANLEY said the Bill had remained unop posed for siv months, except by the Hon. Member, and that opposition was only on one clause of the Bill. I❑ consequence of there not having been a House yester day, and of having but a day at this advanced period of the Session, it was impossible he could defer it longer. Mr. HAWES complained that, notwithstanding his promise, the Noble Lord had not given himmotice ; he was mistaken in supposing that he was the only Sienber opposed to it ; there were several objected to, the clause, which, moreover, was the very one.the Noble Lord him opposed last year. • After some • remarks from Mr. 0. Smith, Mr. O'Connell, and Lord J. Russell, Lord STANLEY postponed the third reading - iill to morrow (Wednesday .. .) ..I_______ BUILDINGS'] EGISTRATION BILL. The Housp went into Committee on the Buildings Regulations Bill (No. 2. Bill.) MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM, AND BOLTON , POLICE BILL. Sir J. ofartni posponed the second reading of the Manchester, Birmingham, and Bolton Police Bill, till Thursday. DEAN FOREST ECCLESIASTIC AL BILL. On the motion for the further consideration of the Dean Forest Ecclesiastical Bill, Mr. HUME rose and said that he thought that the present was an improper time, whei. there was a deficiency 01.2,500,00001. in the Revenue, fur endow ing Churches out of the public money, as was proposed in the measure before the House. lie considered that all money derived from the Crown lands should be ap propriated to the public service. ; and the present would be a vote of the public money as much as if it were taken from the Customs or the Excise. These were the grounds of his opposition. He protested against this improper application of the public money. He was not insensible to the importance of providing public instruction, but he protested against applying to one sect that which belonged to all sects and all classes. The Hon. Member concluded by moving the resolutions. Sir J. EASTHOPE seconded the motion. On the question beint , put, The Earl of LINCOLN said that the resolutions pro posed by the Hon. Gentleman almost equalled the length of his speech. The House would not expect him to go over those topics which had already been discussed at length. The first six of the resolutions, which the Hon. Gentle man intended as facts, were not such ; neither was the measure proposed a new one. He contended that the objects of the Bill had been well supported by private munificence. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the Bill as impolitic and ill-timed ; he regretted that such* a Bill should have been brought forward at a period of such distress as the present. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'Clock. ANATOMY. ACT. Lord STANHOPE gave notice that on Thursday next he would present a petition respecting the Anatomy Act, to which be would call their Lordships' attention. RAILWAYS BILL. A message from the Commons brought up the Rail.. ways Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday. - EMPLOYMENT IN MINES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from persons employed in mines in a part of Yorkshire, praying that the House would not assent to any enactment for regu lating their employment without inquiry. CUSTOMS' DUTIES ACTS—(THE TARIFF.) On the reading of the Order of the Day for the third reatling,of the Customs Duties Acts, The Earl of RIPON said that from what had been stated by Noble Friends of his on the opposite side of the House, and more especially by his Noble Friend on his left (Lord Stanhope), he anticipated many objections to the alterations in the tariff proposed in the Bill which stood for third reading this evening ; but he did not think, from the appearance of the House, that the objections would be very seriously pressed, and certainly he thought that they would not be adopted. But notwithstanding this anticipation, the measure in• volved matters of considerable importance, both as regarded principle and detail, that their Lordships might naturally expect that he should lay before them the grounds on which her Ma jesty's Government were led to adopt so extensive a change in the customs' regtilations of the country. This subject had from time to time attracted the atten tion of Parliament ; nor was it wonderful. For in the twenty-five years of war which closed the last century, the necessities of the country had compelled the Govern ment to lay on duties on commodities of foreign production for purposes of revenue. These duties, which were first laid on for fiscal purposes alone, created, in course of time, protected interests, hich Parliament did contemplate when it im posed the duties. On the return of peace, which altered the position of this country in respect to the rest of the world, the attention of Parliament was (after the restoration of the currency in 1819) to the state of the import duties. Two petitions of great importance were presented—one by the Noble Marquis opposite (the Marquis of Lansdowne), on whose motion a Committee was appointed to inquire into the whole question of the import duties. That motion was most cordially acceded to by the Government of Lord Liverpool, who, at the same time, stated that there was no difficulty in con sequence of the interests that had grown up during the war. In a word, no one could doubt that the view of Lord Liverpool was, that as soon as the circumstances of the country would allow, it would be necessary to revert to a more free and open system of fiscal regulation in respect to com tuerce.—(Hear, hear, hear.) , . That principle was admitted by every person on every side of the House as the rule by which the commercial policy of the country should be governed.—(Hear.) The pro gress of the alteration had been slow, and perhaps more slow than was consistent with good policy. He was not one of those, who thought so, for he was of opinion that all such charges should be gradual, and ought not to be introduced in opposition to the general feelings, or, as some considered them, pre judices, of the people. Yet the principle did progress, and alterations were made in the tariff: A Committee was appointed by the other House, and whatever might be thought of the prepossessions of that Committee, and the interested motives of some who gave evidence before it, •it was impossible to look in the tables which were appended to the Report of that Commit tee, without being convinced that it was ab.olutely neces sary to revise the tariff.—(Hear, hear.) They had then to consider the principle upon whtch they should attempt the revision of the tariff. This was a work of no small difficulty. The first consideration was, what proportion the existing duty bore to the average price of the article in bond It was quite clear that unless they did this they could not come to a just conclusion. One principle upon which they went was to pat away all prohibi tions. Another consideration was relative to the articles necessary for our own manufactures, and the foreign manufactured articles, which would come into competi tion with our own. On all the articles of raw ma terial, with but few exceptions, the principle they adopted was to limit the duty within 5 per cent. on the value of the article, and as much below it as wos practicable. In the case of articles of peculiar manufacture which were likely to come into competi tion with our own manufactures, such as thrown silk then it was proposed that the amount of duty should not exceed ten per cent. upon the value, and that on the manufactured articles themselves they laid it down as a general rule that the duty should be trom 12 to 20 per cent. Mr. Huskisson, in the atera tion introduced by him laid the protective duty at 30 per cent. The duty on cotton wool was 10 per cent., and on woollen stuff 15 per cent., which was. not a prohibi tion, although it was a protection. They, therefore, beg,ti by reducing the duty 'on all articles necessary for the execution of manufactures to the lowest possible rate.

THE WIIA.TILEIt IN PARlS.—During the whole of Thursday the heat was excessive, the air being sultry almost to suffocation. M. Chevalier's thermometer, at six o'clock, was at 20 2-10 of the centrigade scale, or 68i Fahrenreit ;by mid-day it got up to 33 C., or 911 F. 5 and by two, it was at 34 5-10 C., or 941 F. Toward the evening, heavy clouds were seen gathering on the south-western horizon, portending a corning storm. About half-past nine o'clock; a very heavy whirlwind arose, and the dust in the Champs Elysees awl on the Boulevards was driven about in such clouds as to render objects around almost invisible. At a quarter to ten the storm burst, the rain fell heavily, the lightning and thunder was very vio!ent. The storm was not of long duration, as, at half-past ten, the stars again shone forth, and the air was refreshingly cool. Lord L-, more remarkable for his pride than his parts, having once withdrawn from a fashionable party, and wanting his servant to attend him, called out in a very loud voice, "Where can my blockhead be ?" " Upon your shoulders, my Lord, answered. Lady Bridget Tollemache. PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHAIZE3, Bte. &c. &c. LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 5.
