Why, if they are sincere in their professions, that it is well for us to depend upon our selves for what we want, surely that doctrine applies to other countries as well as to our own; and they ought to hail its adoption in foreign nations, and be glad to see what the Americans are about. But they are reviling the Americans for carrying out their own principles.—(Hear, hear.) Whir, , let them fight our battle on transatlantic ground, if they choose ; we will leave them in the slough of their inconsistency.— (Hear.) But what has been the cause of this American tariff? We must not lose sight of the fact, that it is our own fault, and our own fault entirely, that we are shut out of the American market. We will go back to 1833. We know that at that period great excitement existed in the States on the subject of their tariff on our manufactured goods; the excitement was excessive; and in one State, the State of Carolina, which sends us our principal supply of cotton, the people rose almost into rebellion against the Government on account of the high duties which were imposed on our manu factures. And we know the consequence was, that an Act was passed in 1833, reducing the duties on the import of our manufactured goods into'Ame rica, every year, for ten years, until, at the end of ten years, there should be no higher duty than 20 per cent. on any of our manufactured commodities. That Act expired at Midsummer this year. Now, what has been done by our . Government ?—what has been done by this country to meet that liberal and tbat're ciprocal policy which was offered to us by the United States ? Why, if this had been going on in the moon, it would not have excited less attention with our suc cessive Governments, and, I am sorry to say, less at tention with our people. We have been utterly re gardless of the attempts of America to trade with us. Now, at the end of ten years, the Americans look at the result of their policy; and they actually find that they are doing less business with us now, at the end of the ten years, than when they begun their reduc tions. Their cotton, tobacco, and rice, have fallen in value; we still take nothing else; we have shut out their corn. The Americans have, therefore, no mo tive for continuing their policy ; and now a few busy monopolists, in the shape of manufacturers, have got together in a little clique, and by their ma nagement, have succeeded in passing a law which will almost exclude our cotton manufactures alto gether. But this could not have been the case GREAT MEETING OF THE ANTI CORN-LAW LEAGUE AT MANCHESTER. portant body.—(Hear, hear.) I was struck to-day; as I entered the office pf the League, with the appearance of four huge trusses, packed up and bound with cords, such as you will see hi a warehouse selling heavy goods in this town. I inquired and found that they contained tracts—about a quarter of a ton weight of tracts—(Applause)—address e d to four of our lec turers in different parts of the country, for immediate ' distribution gratuitous distribution.—(Applause.) I was curious to look at our books, to see what kind of business we had been doing in the "printing" line lately. The cotton printing isoot good, and it pro mises to he worse ; but I found that the letter-press printing going on under this roof had been exceedingly prosperous of late. Why, it appears that the League has within the last three weeks ordered about 380,000 tracts from the printers.—(Applause.) Now that is a pretty good three weeks' work ; but it is nothing com paredinforma- tion f,)r t o : a l this tracts, lectures, question ; andtheypua rbeli atapplyingoiipublications to incessantlyenlighten them with what is wanted i n t h e country. The peo ple in all parts of th e coun t ry are thirsty for them in the cause that w e are engaged i n. N ow I think, under those circum s t ances, the pu bli c h ave only to know the m eans o f usefu l ness th a t are at our disposal—that the harvest is ready, and waiting only for hands to gather it in—and we shall have that amount of co-operation at the pre. sent moment, which will enable us to carry en thin war during the winter with tenfold energy to anything we have done before. We are spending, I understand, 1001. a week in agitating this question : why, we ought to have 1,000/. a week, until next February, in order to ensure its success.—('liplause.)- Now, I am afraid Manchester has been too much a monopolist on this question. We have no desire, great as is the ho nour, to monopolize the whole of that vituperation which the monopolist press directs towards Manches ter.—(Applause.) Let us, therefore, offer a cordial partnership with those parts of the country which I am sure must now be anxious to become colleagues with us in the present movement. There is Leeds, and Birmingham, and Glasgow, and Sheffield, and the other large towns ; I am sure they must be anxious —they have shown their anxiety to put themselves alongside Manchester on this question. It is in the very nature of Englishmen that they should do so. They cannot feel anxious that we should be the sole - instruments for relieving them from the trammels of monopoly, for that would be to render themselves dependent upon us for what ever prosperity they might afterwards have ; and it is not in the nature of Englishmen to desire such a state of dependence. What is the conduct of our country men on the occasion of more inglorious struggles, by sea or land? We don't read of our naval or martial heroes lying by, and allowing one ship, or one regi ment, to have all the honour of the victory ; they lay themselves up alongside the enemy, and are anxious, as far as they can, to be in the van of the battle. And so I say in reference to Leeds, Glasgow, Birmingham, and the rest • let us offer them that honourable posi tion alongside us in the strife. Manchester has no desire to arrogate to itself all the honour in this mat ter; and I believe there is at this moment a great de sire on the part of those places to co-operate with us cordially, as far as we may invite them to do so. Gentlemen, the first consideration is the sinews of war ; money is wanted to carry on this conflict as it should be carried on for the next six months. I know that our friend in the chair has got a project (you will be startled when I tell you of it) by which he intends to subsidize the country to the extent of 50,000/.—(Hear, hear.) Well, that is just a million gettingel o a f the milli Con shillings. Corn -laws; Fifty thousand pounds shillings. W e h a d t wo millions of petitioners 'for the repeal w h e re is the difficulty of may be raised by the League, if they will only tell the country the money that is wanted, and that it is wanted to accomplish our object by the beginning of the session of Parliament. I am sure the money is wanted, and I tell you of it now lest you should be taken by surprise, and it should produce any ill con sequence.—(Laughter.) I tell you now that the Chairman and Council of the League are determined to raise 50,000/. in the countrz. They'll lay an as sessment upon the country_( pplause)land they'll get the money, I'm convinced, if you only co-operate, as I know you will co-operate with them.—(Ap plause.) Why, ladies and gentlemen, all you want is to have the opportunity of disseminating those in stores of information which are now l y i ng bound up Par liamentary returns, or the pr o d uc ti o ns of writers on of the q at meetinf this question ; all you w an t i s, t h at this information should Ne disseminated, in or d er to ensu re the success (Applause.) uestion We t he want next no force g o , no P violence ; we don't want a single phy s i ca l f orce d em onstration — (Applause) —all we wan t i s , that more destructive weapons of the mi n d s h ou l d b e b r ought into operation, in order t o ensure t h e Whilst upon this subject, I cannot help su ccess of this question i n th e next session o f Parliament. a rliament.— refer ing to the rece n t a ppli ca ti on of the wor k s o f Colonel Thompson.--(Applause.) I n th ose wo rks you have an armoury containi ng weapons that are a bundantly sufficient to acco m pli s h our o b ject, if they co uld only be disseminated th roug h ou t the country . There is not a tyro in the cause w h o may net t h e re find a pebble to suit him, to destroy this Goliah of monopoly. —(Applause.) I canno t speak too hig hl y o f those of his works which r e f er to one question . Colonel Thompson has been a t reasure hidden to us; we have not known or appreci a t e d hi s value. H i s wor ks have hitherto been imbedd e d in the Westminster Rev iew, where few of us have h a d access to them; b u t h e has now re-published the w h o l e, in six close l y printed volumes, at the very small price of 155., at great loss to himself; but I know he will not care for that, as his object is merely to promote this good cause. But all that we are now saying, and all that we a re now writing on the subject, I ha ve no hesitat i on i n s aying, has all been said and writt en by Colonel Thompson ten years ago, better th an it has been said or written since.—(Applause.) He is only a Lieutenant - Colonel, I believe, in the army, but he's a Bonaparte in our cause of the repeal - o f t h e C orn -laws.— (Applause.) Well, it is to dis sem i nate suc h k n owledge as is imbedded in these volum es , b y ex t rac ting them, publishing them in news in every magazine in the country month after month, i n or d er th a t the people may be tempted and forced to read t h em ; it i s by themPaP—publishing them in ne wspapers --publishing magazines—sticking sending our emissaries through th e coun try, in order to deliver these tracts from doo r t o d 'or , that we are to effect the object. — "\ - -PPlause.) And, now, don't let anybody run away with the idea that the ques tionl know that it can. — (Applause.) I did not go into the House of Commons with any p re dil ec tions in fa vourcoafnnthoat b that House, o c u a s r e rd , ie bu b such means .—(Applause.) but this this I will tell you, it is of th e pu bli c o pinion ; in not that House is not an unfair representation of it. th a i3 n uennufanitrry, so farepresentationr as public opinion exists at all, Now, I dare say you think that very astonishing; hut you forget that, so far as 99 out of every 100 are concerned, there is no public opinion at all ; they about it.—(Applause.) is not an unfair Now,won' t take say t h e thet r n o u n b u l s e e t o n f think c omi s When it was elected to the changes in public opinion as sensitively , lraesptresen summer.; tati and ofthte that tblic House, opinion ans wers almost as instantly, of door s on any question which you want to carry in a h s av th e e on ve ly sse to l oninsthtreuoaceathne apncsvw;elres to its h e l m .

That has been done before with regard to measures that were carried, and it will be done again.—(Applause.) And they will not wait till a physical force demonstration is at the door before they will answer to the behests of the people of the country. They will look before them. Though we have but a seven years reign Members of Parliament look a little a head. They take their cue from the constituency of the day, and feel their way from day to day ; and th oug h the House of Common s will treat with contempt the menaces of this or any other body, the Members of the House of Commons are as servile as spaniels to their ewn constituents. —.(Laughter.) We have, therefore. ever, encouragement for an ' effort, a herculean effort, Luring next session. I can • not bring myself to believe that this agitation is to last longer than the present winter. I was talking to-day to a gentleman of this town, who has just come from Paris. He had crossed over from Calais to Dover with an Hon. Member—one of the Duke of Buckingham's own. My friend told him it Was quite clear the present Corn-laws could not last. " It is my opinion," said the Member, " that they will b e changed; a fixed duty either the next session or the session after • and I hope it will be a low fixed duty, that we may have it a permanent one." Now, I say, let us take care that there is no fixed duty at all.— (Applause.) If you have go . t the Duke o f Bucking ham s Members to such a point, that they are wishing for a low fixed duty, in order that they may keep it, a very little more is required to convince the farmers 4 that that is no stability, iio adjustment of rent, no ' case for them from this incessant agitation, till they have no duty at all ; therefore, I say, stick to the principle of total and immediate repeal. Never give up that cry of " total and immediate repeal." Some people may fancy that it would be better to make a compromise. That is a great mistake. Re collect what Sir Robert Peel told Mr. Villiers and myself in the House of Commons—" I admit," said he, " that you have a great advantage over me in argu ment, as the advocates of total and immediate repeal." Nov, we shall give up 'all that advantage, in and out of doors, if we depart from the principle of total and immediate repeal.—(Hear, hear.) I have so recently met you before, and hope so often to have the pleasure of meeting you again, that I am ashamed to trespass on your attention on his occasion. —(Go on.) I see some gentlemen present who are not always with us : I am particularly happy to see our friend Duncan APLaren ' from Edinburgh, here. I should be very happy to have the pleasure of hearing from him the state of opinion in Scotland. I am sure we are deeply indebted to Mr. M'Laren, for it was owing to his ar duous exertions that we are indebted for that most im portant demonstration in Edinburgh last year, of the ministers and elders, and portions of their congregations, from all parts of Scotland ; and I have no doubt he will be willing to respond, during the next winter, to any invitation the League may hold out for a future demonstration. One thing I ought to; say, for it cheers us—there is not a more staunch advocate of total and immediate rtpeal than Mr. M'Laren, nor one who has taken more pains to keep the people of Scot land (though that did not require much pains) true to the principle of total and immediate repeal.—(Ap plause.) Wishing to give him an opportunity of say ing a few worth, and the other gentlemen who are present, I will not trespass longer upon you on the present occasion, than to thank you sincerely for the attention with which you have listened to these few remarks.—(Applause.) Mr. D. M‘L'AREN said, that public opinion was making very tapid progress in Scotland ; the sup porters of an Bs. fixed duty were very few, and without influence ; and all who were opposed to monopoly were for total abolition, as the only thing worth con tending for. He moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Cob den for his address, which was seconded by Mr. T. I3azley, jun., in an able speech, of which our limits prevent us giving even an outline. 0 Mr. JOHN BRIGHT, of Rochdale, also made an ani mated and energetic appeal, and confirmed Mr. Cob den's statement, that distress was increasing, and likely to he more severe in winter than in autumn. Mr. Alderman BROOKS spoke in his usual vigorous and humorous style,; and the vote of thanks to Mr. Cobden having been passed by acclamation, Mr. COBDEN, in disclaiming the compliment, and declaring,it irregular thank one another, declared, in the most emphatic terms, that the more intelli gent of the operatives, mechanics, and spinners, had to blame their own conduct for much of their present distress. They had folded their arms in culpable apathy, stood aloof, and suffered two or three hundred lads, led by a few bribed agitators, -to interrupt and throw into confusion the meetings of the Corn-law repealers, though all the while these more intelligent workmen knew that the League was in the right. , On this account, he charged them with being accessory to all the evils now falling on them and their families. The meeting then terminated at half-past 9 o'clock. [We regret the great quantity of India news, and the reports from the special sessions, prevent us giving all the speeches at this meeting in extenso.—ED. Sun.] MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—A great meet ing of the members of the Anti •Corn-law League took place last evening at the large room (late the Picture Gallery) in Newall's-buildings, Market-street, for the purpose of hearing addresses delivered against the Corn-laws by Richard Cobden, Esq., the Member for Stockport, and other leading members of the Coun cil. The time appointed for the meeting was half past seven o'clock, and long before that hour the room was crowded by one of the most respectable audito ries we ever saw present on such an occasion. We should say that upwards of a thousand persons (in cluding many ladies) were present. George Wilson, Esq., presided, and on either side of him were seated the Member for Stockport, John Brooks, Esq., John Bright, Esq. (Rochdale), Duncan M‘Laren Esq. (Edinburgh), T. Bailey, jun. Esq., William iawson, Esq., C. J. S. W a lk er , E sq ., Armitage, Esq., and W. Evans ' Esq. After a few introductory remarks, the CHAIRMAN at once called upon Mr. Cobden. Mr. COBDEN, M.P., rose, and was received with loud cheering. He spoke as follows :—Mr. Chair man, Ladies, and Gentlemen—You have certainly taken me a little by surprise. This is an unusual concourse, in a very unusual place, for a weekly meeting. It looks, indeed, very much like pro motion for our good cause, to find us assembled in such a spacious room as this, surrounded by so many ladies—(Applause)—and I am happy to see in the distance so many of the working classes on this oc casion.— (Applause.) I am glad to find, too, that we have met for business, for I have heard, with great pleasure, the letters and other reports which have been read, showing that we are making progress, not only here, but in other parts of the kingdom. There is one report which has been read from Mr. Murray, from Newark, which is deserving of a passing word. He has alluded to the dissatis faction of the farmers, at the fall in the price of their produce. Now, there has been a great deal of mis representatiiin on the subject of the fall in the price of meat. We have heard great complaints from the farmers that they have not been able to obtain the usual prices for their cattle ; and we have found the reason assigned to be, that, in consequence of Sir Robert Peel's tariff, there has been a vast inundation of four-footed creatures from abroad.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I maintain that to be altogether a delusion there has not been as many cattle altogether imported from abroad as would have been eaten in Manchester in one week, if the people had had as much as they ought to have.—(Applause.) The fall in the price of cattle has arisen from a totally different circumstance ; and it is our duty to point out that circumstance, for it tells very importantly on our question. The reason is, not that there have been a great many foreign cattle imported—the reason is, the farmer's customers have been ruined. (Hear, hear.) I have made some inquiries upon the subject, and I find that in Dundee, in Leeds, in Kendal, in Carlisle, in Birmingham, and in Man chester, the falling off the consumption of butcher's meat has been one-third, as compared with what it was three years ago.—(Hear, hear.) Now, is it pos sible that this great falling off in the consumption should take place without causing a diminution in the price of the article ? We, who are apt to cultivate our connexions, to rouse our customers, to wish them well, and to be anxious for their prosperity, should take a very different view of the thing. If we find that our customers are declining, and that they have no longer the means to purchase, we knaw that we, as sellers, must suffer in consequence. The farmers have not learnt that lesson vet. They imagine that they can be flourishing Ntlile their 'customers are ruined.—(Hear, hear.) Now, at the Chester cheese fair, I observe that there was a falling off of twenty per cent. on cheese ; and the farmers said, " We have had Peel in the market."—(Laughter.) Now, the absurdity of that is obvious, from the fact that there has been no alteration at all in the duty on foreign cheese. Yet in Cheshire the prices of cheese, of butter, and of milk have fallen ; and why ? Because their largest manufacturing town, Stockport, has been ruined, and is now paying 7,0001. a week less wages than it did three years ago.—(Hear, hear.) And, with that fact staring them in the face, why should the Cheshire farmers go to Peel, or the tariff, for a reason for their adversity?—(Applause.) But I ob serve that the Duke of Rutland, at his meeting at Walton the other day, denied that there had been such a decline in the price of meat, such a fall in the price of agricultural pr o d uce . N ow we mus t set hi s Grace right. There has been such a fall, and his Grace ought not to tell his farmers that there has not. Look at the Government contract ; there cannot he a better test than that. The Government contract for the supply of the army and navy with beef has b la e s e t n t 3Te ak ar e — nt ( hs H i e 3 a r r e , aro he f a r r.) 2o T pe h r at c i e s n p t. ree les f s s t u h ffi an ei i e t u s t vas ef farmersand hi s b Grace y i o n u g g ht that not thereto attempt e u m e p t t a t o great mis lead theanvet , e th m e u p s r t ic e e xp o l f ai m n e t t e e T au h s e e r . e h N as en a ü b w e ,itm g a r y eat se fa e l m l, ftaedl fact, very strange that I shoUld be here to exculpate Sir Robert Peel from the attacks that are made up on him by his friends on account of thi s f a l l i ng off in the price of meat.—(Hear, hear.) But we are not op posed to Sir Robert Peel more than to any other Mi nister • we are not party men her e; an d i f we find that there are political parties, whether they call themselves Whigs, or call themselves Tories, who are trying, for the sake of a party triumph, to allege that against Sir Robert Peel which is actually attributable to the bad policy of successive Governments in this country, why, we will, if necessary, do justice to Sir Robert Peel, and put the farmer on the right scent.— (Applause.) But I am afraid, ladies and gentlemen, that our great concourse here this evening may pro bably be attributed to the circumstances which are pressing us nearer home. fain afraid that the state of this district is beginning to excite something like alarm in the mind of every person in the neighbour. hood ; and I confess, had as I thought of our pros• pects here, when I told them in the House of Com mons that we were about to encounter such a winter as we had never before endured—l confess I now see a more dismal, a more disheartening prospect, than 1 ever apprehended we should see. We have been suf fering now in the north of England six years : it I.: six years since the revulsion occurred which has led to a depression greater, of longer continuance, and of far more intensity than has ever been witnessed by the oldest resident in this neighbourhood, But, bad as iias been our condition before, at the end of these six years our prospects are worse than they have been in any previous year.--(Hear, hear.) It would seem as if the American tariff that has just been passed was to be the u s almost last to break prostrat e conditionthe camel's andback it_ h Ia has found utterly prostrated th e energies of this district. Now, if England, by holding out the hand of recipro city in the shape of a law to admit their corn, had made it the interest of those cotton monopolists to vote with us, instead of against us. We could have taken ten times the quantity of corn which these few SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NOTTINGHAM RACES. —FRIDAY.

Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each.—Manalippe and King of the Peak. Johnny is amiss, and does not come ; the race is not likely to be run. Matches.—Ralph v. Garry Owen ; St. Francis v. Dr. Caius ; Oakley v. Mellor ; Tilcho v. Botheram, all here. Buffalo receives from Skipton. The other races in the list for this day are the T.Y.C. and A.F. Plates, and a T.Y.C. Handicap of 20 sovs. for each, for which the entries will be made this evening. TUESDAY. Cesarewitch.—Of the thirty-one horses engaged, the following are here :—The Shadow, Dr. Caius, Roscius, Ralph, Heslington, Thistle Whipper, Tamburini, Por trait, Rhodanthe, Lord Kelburne s Muley Moloch colt, Young Quo Minus, Florence, Buffalo, Blue Bonnet, Ma Mie, Dilbar, Lucy Banks, the Gleaner, f out of Flam beau's dam, Arcanus, and Anspach. Bellissima and Pharold will arrive in the course of the day. Mus, Clinker, Arnagill, Scalteen, Souvenier f, Vibration, and the Courtesan colt, will not be here. It is expected that eighteen or twenty will . run. Clearwell.—The f out of Macremma, and the colt out of Galata , Napier, the Mopsy colt, The Caster, Caen, the Vulture colt, Murat, Testy,- Pine Apple (the. Yaxley colt), the Wild Duck colt, and Filagree colt, were in training here ; but Caen, the Vulture colt, and one or two others out of the lot, were not likely to run. Matches.—Celia v. Nuncio ; Cecil v. Magog ; Minaret v. Retainer colt—all here ; Albion v. Gunter—the latter not expected to show. . manufacturing monopolists — could have taken. The Americans are quick and alive to their own interests, and I say it is known to every man who is acquainted with that country, that it would have been utterly im possible to pass that tariff, if we had reciprocated their terms, and taken their corn in exchange for our ma nufactures.—(Applause.) The Americans have not acted wisely in passing such a tariff; they are de stroying their own revenue in doing so. There are Americans arranging their piles of corn in groaning granaries. There they are sighing over waving corn lelds, and wandering far in search of customers ; and here are Englishmen, perhaps folding their arms over their idle mills and warehouses, rammed full of goods, and wanting customers for them. There are people pining for want of food, there are people eager to be furnished with our fabrics, while those unwise an d un necessary laws step in between two such countries, and forbid them from exchanging their superfluous pro ducts, and becoming customers to each other.—(Hear, hear.) It cannot continue. Such a system cannot last.—(Applause.) It is at war with natural instincts, with common sense, with common humanity, and with Christianity.—(Applause.) Such a system cannot last.—(Applause.) You may be:sure that when two great nations are interested in a mutual trade, no Government can long prevent two nations, such as our own and America, from reciprocating the advantages of their respective countries.—(Applause.) And I do fervently believe that in ten years from this time,-and less, the whole system of this restrictive policy will become a matter of history, both in America and England.—(Applause.) I will not give the system of monopoly more than ten years, when, I believe, it will become as impossible for Governments to interfere with the industry of individuals, to attempt to control their transactions, to limit their trade, to direct them NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WEDNESDAY. into what channels they shall devote their industry, as it will be for Governments to take in hand every do mestic family, to order them what time to cline ' what they shall dine off, and how they shall cook their victuals.—(Applause.) Why, the system is precisely the same in absurdity as that which used to be prac tised 200 years ago in this country, when they passed laws to regulate the size, shape, and quality of a table cloth, when they used to say where hooks and eyes, and buttons should be made ; where they should make kerseys, and where they should make neckcloths.-- (Applause and laughter.) The thing is just precisely on the same principle now. Then they, merely inter fered with the trade of counties; now they interfere with the trade of nations. They are in both cases equally violating what I maintain to be the natural and inherent right of the people to trade wherever they please.—(Applause.) The system, the abomina ble system, gentlemen, cannot last.—(Applause.) I am glad, therefore, that we are engaged in trying, as fir as we possibly can, to vindicate the rights of na ture and the laws of nature, by putting an end to such a horrible system.—(Applause.) But, in order to carry out this principle, it is necessary that we should demolish our prejudices, and abate those false opinions which still prevail to a very great extent in this country ; for, although we are at war with this re strictive system, as one which we in this room clearly see to be a most odious and most unprofitable one, still we must not forget that this is the system which has been pursued, I believe, from the beginning of the world. We are therefore here in the position of real Reformers ; we have a system to deal with that is as old as Adam nearly.—(Applause and laughter.) It will be no small triumph to English men if in addition to having given to the world ex amples of free institutions, as, for instance, the Press, trial by jury, representative forms of government, if England should also be the first to set the civilised world the example of free trade.—(Loud applause.) And I believe it may be our privilege to give, them that example ; and a proud pre .eminence it will be if Manchester, from this time, shall have the honour of leading the van in that movement which shall achieve such a glorious victory for humanity all over the world—(Loud cheer3)—for bear in mind that this agitation of ours differs from all other agitations that have ever been taken up in this country, which are merely applicable to local interests, or merely cal culated to affect our own internal welfare. You cannot succeed in the glorious struggle in which we are engaged, without carrying the benefits of your triumph into every corner of the globe.— (Applause.) By accomplishing the object you haire in view, you will effect the immediate and material in terests of the manufacturers and merchants here. I hate always been inclined to look upon the moral con sequences of carrying out our principles of free trade, as infinitely the more engaging, and as infinitely the most important, of an y cons id era ti o n connected with our movement.—(Applause.) Why, you have the principles of peace at once established throughout the world ; you cement, you knit the nations of the earth together by the principles of free trade.—(Hear.) Away with all idea of war between two countries that shall be as free to exchange favours between each other, as two of our English counties.—(Applause.) Away with all the trouble and all the vexation of di plomacy, when a man shall sit down in Downing. street, and by issuing hi 3 protocols —a mere trial of dexterity between a Minister in Paris and a Minister in London—when two men can so sit down, and in volve two great nations in all the horrors of war— away with all such absurdities as those when we have two countries united, as they will be by their mutual .interests, and when every mer chant's countin g -h ouse , an d every manufacturer ' s office, becomes the centre of a system of diplomacy which shall bind men in peace, in spite of all the arts of statesmen to embroil us in war.—(Applause.) I say these are glorious objects, and not merely worthy of the energies of men of business, manufacturers, or merchants—they are deserving of the smile and approbation of the ladies, whom I am glad to see about me.—(Applause.) They are objects that ought to ensure us, as they have largely obtained for us, the co-operation of every Christian minister in this land.—(Applause.) And I will never regard the question of free trade in that isolated form in which it is so apt to be regarded, as si question merelyaffect ing the pecuniary interests of a body of manufacturers or merchants. This is the object we have in view ; and it is as a matter of business that we have met here this (Thursday) evening, to promote the carrying out of this object. I am glad to find that, under the auspices of our indefatigable, our indomitable Chair man—(Hear)—the League is preparing for a cam paign during the winter months of a more daring, and, I believe, of a more successful nature than has ever yet been attempted by this influential and iza- MARY. LETTERS OF MARY. QUEEN OF ScoTs.—We are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlbo rough-street, has this day published " Letters of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Documents connected with her Personal History," now first published, with an intro duction, by Agnes Strickland, author of " The Lives of the Queens of England," 2 vols. small Bvo., with portrait from the original at Hampton Court. Mr. Colburn has also just published-1. The fifth volume of Miss Strickland's " Lives of the Queens of Eng land," containing the lives of Queen Katharine Parr and Queen Mary.-2. Lord Londonderry's Steam Voyage to Constantinople by the Rhine and the Danube, 2 vols. Bvo.-3. Russia and the Russians, by J. G. Kohl, Esq., 1 vol.-4. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Richard Bonnycastle's "Newfoundland in 1842," 2 vols., small Bvo., with map and illustrations. NIMROD ABROAD.—Our sporting readers will be pleased to hear that they are about to be presented with a new work under the above title, from the pen of one from whose labours they have already derived so much gratification, and who takes rank as the very first among the sporting literateurs of the day—we mean, the author of " The Chase, the Turf, and the Road," and other popular productions of a like kind— C. J. Apperley, Esq., better known, however, as the redoubtable " Nimrod." In this new work, the writer, having quitted his own country for " fresh fields and pastures new" in other lands, not often tra versed by British sportsmen, details the results of his varied experience, for the b e nefit and entertainment o f his brother Nimrods , at home. France, we believe, is the principal theatre of his exploits , but India, Gibral 7 a t a l s r o , Ci t oe3f'ilr)nn; New South scenes of many Wales, descrip tions of stirring adventure by flood and field. There n can be little doubt that " Nim rod Abroad" will be greeted with a joyous " view halloo" b y all English sportsmen. ainiditerßesuisinsiga, a re said.

After the races a general meeting of the Jockey Club will be held to discuss some propositions of no little im portance to the sporting world—one of them is reported to be the repudiation of the Club as a tribunal for de ciding disputed bets. THURSDAY. The programme for this day is at present confined to the usual Mt Handicap Plate, and two selling stakes. The match between John o'Gaunt and Johnny will not be here. FRIDAY. The Prendergast —Murat, the Marinella colt, Caen, the Vulture colt, Napier, Testy, Spiteful, and Ophelia filly, are here; Caen, w•e believe, does not start. Matches.—l)r. Cains v. Ralph, Mellor v. Nuncio, Eringo v. Celia, Oakley v. Camelino, Solomon v. Magog —all here but Camelino, who is daily expected. Two Handicap Stakes also appear in this day's list. The appointments in full appeared in this paper a short time back. An immense number of horses have arrived in the course of the last week, and as the weather is fine and the heath in capital order, a good meeting is anticipated. Mr. Greville's Canadian died on Thursday last of in flammation of the lungs. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY.

DERBY.--11 to 1 on the field, 20 to 1 agst any other. Our last appearance but one this season is at New market on Monday, and as good looking a week's diversions appears on paper as I would wish to see. The list occasionally contains more than is doomed to meet the eye, 'tis true, but I will promise the num ber of visitors en route twenty races in the five days, at the very least._ The Nu - rsery Plate, for two year olds, will be run for on Monday, as well as four very interesting matches. A good deal of money depends on one or two of these. On Tuesday we have the Clearwell, for which the following are on the spot :—Napier, Testy (these two have never been beat), the Caster, Murat (both winners), the Macremma filly (has started three times and always been second), Wild Duck c., Mopsy c., Anxiety, Guerdon c., and Horse Chesnut ; the last ve have never started. The Cesarewitch Stake was established in 1839 ; there were then twenty-six subscribers ; ten started, and Cruiskeen, Est 61b, won, Middleton Maid, sst 101 b, yr greatest number nu b m being being second. In 1840 there were thirty-three sub scribers, nineteen started, Clarion, carrying Bst 41b, twenty -seven four e being the r yng 3t u t r h years old, ca second. In 1841 there were fifty subscribers, and of horses starting at Newmarket for many many years), won by Iliona, Est 111 b, the Young-U n , 6st 131 b, running second. This present year there are thirty-one subscribers, and how many will start? I say eighteen. To begin with the favourites. lissima, be it remembered, was beat Bel Tripoli, giving fo ur stone. a head at Bath by She was beaten ten lengths by Barbara for the Queen's Plate at New market. She beat Eleus, giving 261 b, A.F., betting even on Eleus, 7 to 1 against the winner, 'carrying 7st 131b.' She was beat a long way in the Goodwood Stakes. I could not be guilty of taking such odds as they do take, looking at the above performances. Portrait started fourteen times last year ; he won every now and then, but was beat whenever he met a race-horse. If You back him, it must be solely and only because his new owner is a man of unquestion able ability, and one who rarely invests his money badly. Florence has been backed a good deal : her best, indeed her only good running, is the beating Barbara for the Ditch In-Plate last October; Bar bara, in the Cesarewitch last year, beat all the three year olds a long way, and stays her course. The running of Florence in the spring must be disre garded. Blue Bonnet, after paying forfeit in many large stakes, is at last right, and wins the St. Leger. Such an uncertain mare shall not run for my money. Ralph is a better form of horse than most of his op ponents. Clarion, same age , same weight, same jockey, won : he has to run a match with Garryowen on Monday, T.Y.C. This is not his distance : but it will clear his pipes, and he will be none the worse if beat. Dr. Caius has a much more severe match, A.F., receiving 7 1 b of St. Francis, on the Monday: let him come to the post well and looking as did ',he shall, a la Charles, , Charles XII. at Goodw ood win both the match and great stake. Heslington won in a carter at Newcastle, carrying Tat. 41b.: he has been very much amiss since : well and fit, I would not oppose him. The running in the Leamingto n Stakes settles Una Roscius does not like the dis tance ; he won the Audley End Stakes, one mile and three quarters, in a canter, but all his running since goes to prove he Cannot get any farther. While Portrait keeps his place, no opinion of burini is called for. Rhodanthe has nTam lieve, won a race in her life : a never,bad I be- Lord Kelburne's colt (I wish his L mare. name him), was second in the Goodwoodordship would won the Huntingdon Handicap; he Stakes, and course, and is sure, therefore, to be Young Quo Minus does not like d' in the front rank. Calendar. Buffalo is to m a a dark tstance : ride Book eleven times last year, too, but I k horse : he ran him. Lucy Banks peat Satirist now nothing about Ascot) for the Craven Stake at Epsom ; I expect to see her beat all the young ones, but I say this ad visedly, in sporting v phraseology a particularly useful utensil' at Newcastle and at Newmarket the • - - Y go so far as to say the Duke of Portland's Gleaner is actually-The Thril l Is whipper gang back Bellissima : the horse is yet' as well in as his owner can possibly desire: the resat r will infer so much the more in favour of the old main -720115 eerrons. The Shadow is well in, but she has been knocked about so much during the We hot wea ther that I cannot fancy her. I have said my say do the Cesarewiteh ; if the Doctor be himself he wins the Doctor le anybody else, Ralph must be called in. The Oatlands' Stake has never filled since the es tablishment of the Cesarewitch. We cannot expect above two . races on the Wednesday, on - which day , there will be a meeting of the Jockey Club. N 'or does there appear much sport for the following dair. There being no extra weights to be cairied, the Pren dergast on Friday will be but second edition of the, Clearwell ; the same animal wins both for—how much Five matches already appear in the list for this the last day ; they will all come off but one ; my Cesare witch thvourites will surely find each other cut lefore the end of the week.. There is generally a great deal of Derby betting during this week. The number of books is limited. The ponderous yearling books have died a natural — no, a hard - death. Confidence is gradually being restored, and if gentlemen will only be so good as to confine their operations, that the market be not forced as it has been these last two years, the ring wi:.l goon return to a sound and healthy state, and levanteri he heard of as men that have been, but arc no longer, a never to be more.

Four Footmen. The coffin, upon being taken into the choir, was set in the centre aisle upon trussels. The whole of the Etonians (between 600 and 700) had previously en tered the chapel, and taken their places, with the nu merous friends of the College authorities, whp were admitted by tickets, and by whom the chapel was nearly . filled. During the ceremony, and especially at the grave, the brothers of the deceased Marquis appeared to be deeply affected. The feelings of the Duke of Wel • lington, who had borne himself with great fortliul during the early portion of the solemn service, were evidently much overcome towards the conclusion of the ceremony. Shortly after the conclusion of the ceremony the whole of the illustrious members of the Wellesley fa mily, and the other mourners and attendants, left the College for their respective residences in town, pro ceeding to Paddington by the Great Western Railway from Slough. During the whole of the morning all the shops near the College, and the shutters of the private houses, were closed, and remained so until after the funeral ceremont,was over. The following trait in the character of the late Marquis Wellesley cannot fail to interest our readers : 7 —About three years since a favourite willow tree of the deceased Peer was about to be cut down upon the grounds of the College, in order tint, at that time, certain extensive improvements might be carried into effect. There were certain early associa tions connected with this willow , which h ad alweys rendered it an object of interest and regard to the Noble b ee n Marquis , ever since his boyish days at the College. The llarquis had no sooner tea Hawt ]met adwer,acii; quainted with the intenti on, than he wro jo his usual elegant langu a g e, to the Rev . . r. f r o ey l.
