PUBLICATIONS. Cession, not only prevented the poor people fron getting food, but had deprived them of raiment, and hindered them from attending to the worship of God If ministers of religion were not to come forward on such a question as this, he did not know when they should come forward.—(Hear, hear.) As hi knew- there were other speakers to come before the meeting, he would not longer occupy their time than to say, he recollected reading some time ago of a cobbler who did not like things to be altered for the worse, and after the appointment of a certain Noble Marquis to be ranger of Richmond park, he commenced an action against him for stop ping up an old footpath, and the Marquis was cast. An individual afterwards asked him how he could think of daring to go to law with a Marquis ? " Be cause," was the reply, " I did not like to leave the world worse than I found it."—(Applause.) Now, if we did not abrogate the present Corn-laws, we should all most assuredly leave the world worse than we found it—(Hear, hear) —because the Corn-laws now in operation were certainly more injurious than any of those which had preceded them.—(llear, hear.) He considered these laws to be most unjust in their origin, injurious in their operation, and ruinous in their consequences to the whole community. Here there was a cry of want of room in the meet ing, and it was stated that, notwithstanding the wet ness, of the evening, many persons were outside un able to gain admission. The interruption having ceased, Mr. J. S. BUCKINGHAM then presented himself, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. He said he had accepted with the greatest pleasure the invitation tendered to him to attend that meeting, for the purpose of offering to those who were assembled some of his own experience with respect to facts bear ing upon this question, and also to tender to them, with great deference and respect, the opinions which these facts had led him to form upon the subject.— (Hear, hear.) His name, he believed, was sufficiently familiar to most of them in connection with the great question of free trade in general—(Hear, hear)—for it was that which had brought him first to Manches ter some ten or twelve years ago, and which had led him to witness in this then thriving and opulent town —more so, he grieved to say, then than he had reason to believe it was at present—a degree of enthusiasm manifested upon the subject of free trade to the eastern possessions of Great Britain, and to the great Chinese empire, which had led him to hope that the same spirit by which the people were then animated would not only have continued to the present hour, but would have so grown with their growth and strength ened with their strength, that there would not have been found a single individual in the whole of this po pulous city who was not an advocate for free trade in ge neral. They might judge then of his astonishment, when he learned that it was necessary even for Manches ter to hold meetings of that description, to present new arguments and new facts in order to convert and change the opinions of a large number who seemed either indifferent to the subject, or else hostile. However, the greater the necessity for exertion, the more were they called upon to make it ; and since it appeared that that enthusiasm had abated, and a change had come over the minds of some at least, it was most agreeable to him to see so large a section before him, animated by the same spirit as then, and determined to go forward as they went forward then, and never to sit down in quiet until their great object was ac complished.—(Applause.) Since that time, now twelve years ago, he had had twelve years' experience, and that experience had been more than usually diversi fied. Because, first of - all, it had led him over every part of the kingdom ; for he had begun at Liverpool and Manchester, and had afterwards gone through every part of England, every part of Scotland, and every part of Ireland, except the extreme south; and all the varied experience which that tour had given him, had served but to rivet his conviction stronger, and to add new testimonies not only to the value of free trade in general, but of free trade in the food of man in particular.—(Applause.) Subsequently to that, he hail had the opportunity of sitting side by side—he was proud to say it, with his Hon. Friend on his left Mr. Brotherton, in the House of Commons—(Applause) — and there, as his friend knew well, they had had the opportunity of hearing all that could be said against the principles of free trade, and he confessed he never heard an argument there worthy of answering.—(Ap• plause.) They were so contemptible—either so false in fact, or so contemptible in reasoning—that the pro per way to treat them was to turn aside with scorn. They were not worth the attention of any man claim ing to be a man of intelligence ; and the wonder al ways was to him, how men professing to be men of intelligence, many of them having had a uni versity education, and some having won the great honour of senior wrangler at Oxford or Cain- , bride—(Applause)—how they ventured to keep a grave face, and make the assertions which they did, and expect any person to believe them.—(Applause.) And for a time, he had thought it was a kind of ex periment to see how far authority and station would go, in exacting a sort of base and slavish homage to dogmas and fallacies the most absurd he ever listened to. And certainly the experiment had succeeded ; but if he had been told beforehand that such men, a leader of the Cabinet, for instance or of the Opposition, would say such and such things, and that those things would be supported by men who were selected from among their respective communities as the wisest men to go up to Parliament and take a share in making the laws, 'he should have conceived it quite impossible, and should have been ready, according to the approved English method of supporting an opinion, to have laid a wager of a hundred to one that such a thing was utteKly impossible.—(Applause.) Nevertheless, he had seen it, and was, therefore, compelled to believe it ; and, after all he had heard during the six years he had sat in that great assembly of "potent, grave, and reverend seignors"—(Applause)—he confessed he had not heard a single argument to shake his faith for a moment in the great doctrine, that free-trade was designed by God in the way that he had formed the globe and varied its productions ; that all history tended to show the wickedness as well as the folly of monopoly ; and that they were the only true friends to the human race who set their shoulders to the wheel to destroy these monopolies, and to introduce a free exchange of the produce of all nations.—(Applause.) Subsequent to that, he had had another sphere of experience, across the Atlantic, in the United States of America.—(Applause.) And he might say, without arrogating to himself any merit on that account, that his was not a flying steam-boat visit, to run on railroads here and there, look out at the windows, and then come home, and give some de scription of the country; but it was a careful, delibe rate, and patient investigation; and if they only gave him credit for possessing the average amount of abi lity to observe, and the average amount of veracity to describe, what he had observed, they could not but ad mit that his opportunities had been very great. And though it was very possible for a man to form a tole-. rably accurate conception of countries by the books that described them, yet every one who had tried the experiment knew that seeing the- places themselves, going through the country, and holding personal communication with the people, put a person in pos session of a thousand things, and created a variety of impressions which no amount of reading could sug gest.—(Applause.) It had been suggested to him— and he agreed in it—that it would be becoming in him, and would advance the interest of the great cause they espoused, were he to confine himself to what he had seen in America, and the observations which his opportunities had enabled him to make as to the great resources of that country in grain, and as to the in jury which both America aria England suffered from the folly of one or both of their Legislatures ; for those who placed hindrances in the way of the ex change of the produce of one man's labour for that of another, were equally wicked and foolish, whether monarchical,aristocratical, or republican.—(Applause.) After all, it came to this, as a political question ; for he agreed with the Rev. Gentleman who had just sat down, that there was scarcely any to p ic the y could speak ' of or introduce, but was more or less a political question. Some understood by politics one thing, and some another ; some supposed it to mean the broils in blood, and strife, and irruptions, with which politics had too often been connected. But that connexion was slot necessary or indispensable. Politics, as he under stood it, meant human government, and the great end and object of human government was to decrease as much as possible the amount of evil in the world, and to increase as much as possible the amount of good. —(Applause.) , No man would say that politics, in that sense of the term, was unworthy a minister of tile Gospel, a female at the head of an establishment, or the youngest child that could lisp a truth at all. We were all, by duty as well as by interest, deeply bound to do all 'we could ; first, in the limited circle in which we moved, and then in the more extended sphere of influence in which God might plant us, to diminish the amount of suffering among the human family and increase the amount ofhappincss. God having created us to that end, and given us . a capacity to en joy pleasure, politics, in that sense of the term, was notonly not pbjectionable in connection with any pursuit whatever, but it was the bounden duty of NEW SERIES—ON THE FIRST OF DECEMBER.

PROGRESS OF THE LEAGUE FUND. SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly match ess ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDER MAN), Nos. 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and No. 16, NOR TON FOLGATE, aided by a person of science in the amal gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness —with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted—resist i ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver, and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side board, MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.- 7 A meeting Was held at the League rooms last evening, to learn the progress of the 50,0001. fund, and to hear the speeches of J. S. Buckingham, Esq., late M.P. for Sheffield, Joseph Brotherton. Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Shepherd, of Bury. Richard Cobden, Esq., was also present, with W. Rawson, Esq., John Bright, Esq., Henry Rawson, Esq., and J. Rawsthorne, Esq. The roo m was crowded to suffocation, notwithstanding the in inclemency of the weather, and the proceedings expe rienced some little interruption more than once, owin g to the meeting being so densely packed as scarcely to afford breathing room. GEORGE WILSON, Esq., took the chair about half past seven o'clock, and said, since he had last the plea sure of meeting them in that room the correspondence oF the League had been almost tenfold what it ever was in the same period; and fro all quarters they heard of but one opinion, but one expression, as to the course taken by the Council, and that expression was one of unanimous approbation.—(Applause.) And what was more, they had in these letters the most en couraging assurances and promise of support from all quarters. The Secretary would be: unable to read a twentieth part of the whole correspondence, and he should call upon him, therefore, to read but a few, which had been selected as a fair criterion of the whole, and then he should have the pleasure of calling upon gen .tlemen to address them whose speeches would more than repay them for the disappointment thus occa sioned.—(Applause.) In Manchester, the local com mittee for collecting the 50,000/. fund had met, and had succeeded in putting into circulation a number of cards, which, when filled up and returned, would con tain subscriptions to the amount of 1,646/. —(Ap plause.) The ladies had held their second meeting.— (Applause.) They had met for the second time on Tuesday morning. The number of their committee at the present time was about 120 members.—(Hear, hear.) And they also had succeeded in issuing cards, which, when filled up, would contain contributions to the amount of 6201. 1 0s.—(Applause.) A general committee of superintendence for the whole kingdom had been formed, and actively devoted themselves to their duties. This committee had issued cards, which, when returned, would contain subscriptions to the amount of 3,0751. 18s. Cards were already taken, therefore, to the amount of 5,3421.—(L0ud cheers) — and, what was still better, from the spirit with which their friends were devoting th emse l ves to t h e wor k, th ere was a probability that they would soon be returned filled up.—(Renewed cheering.)

These announcements were received with great applause. an S a b d C HENRY RAWSON, Esq. moved, and JOHN BRIGHT, Esq., seconded the appointment of the following gentlemen to be registrars to the League, which was agreed to with applause :—Mr. J. Dean, Colne; Mr. J. Chadwick, Eccles ;. and M r . J . W ragg , B ur y. The CHAIRMAN said they h a d b een h onoure d by the unexpected visit of the R ev . Mr. Shepherd, of Bury, and he begg ed to introduce him to the meeting. The Rev. Mr. SHEPHERD was rece i ve d w ith l o ud applause. He said it afforded him great pleasure, as a minister of that Gospel whi c h o ffered peace and happiness to all mankind, to come forward in behalf of any cause that had for its object the protection and the welfare of his fellow-creatures. He was happy to inform them that they had a delightful meeting at Bury last night.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Their lecturer was present on the o c cas ion, and he was sure that that gentleman's arguments produced a powerful impression. These were followed up by an able speech from Mr. Walker, M.P., who pledged himself to the movement, and he was happy to say that cards were taken by persons present, which, when filled up, would contain subscriptions to the amount of 5001. (Ap plause.) Ile had felt a great interest in this move ment from the first, and he had endeavoured to bring it forward in that place where his fellow-creatures met with him on the Sabbath to r ece i ve the bread of life.—(Hear, hear.) He did so, fe e li ng i t to be inti mately connected with the present as well as future destiny of these persons._(Ap.plause.) H e h a d b een frequently taunted with coming f orward to meddle with political questions since he had done so to be sure —(Hear, and laughter) _but he should like to ask what could they meddle with that was not political ? —(Hear, hear.) If they endeavoured to avoid meddling with political questions, it was clear, for instance, in the first pace, that they cou ld nu t get married, for that was political.—(L aug ht er. ) Their little children must not b e registered their birth—that ws, . hear.)

Though Dr. James Johnson, Dr. Sigmond, and more than a hundred other medical men, have, in their writings, borne tes timony to the superior quality and wholesomeness of Captain Pidding's Tea, Dr. Roe's letter is here given, from the clear manner in which it points out the benefit, that those who suffer from Dyspepsia, Indigestion, a weak or debilitated sto mach, would derive from the use of Captain Pidding's Mixed Black Tea. But, independent of the superior quality, which it is admitted on all sides, Captain Pidding's Teas possess, they are, from their strength, found to be cheaper than even the lowest priced Teas.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times:"-- " sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender.. ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, w hi c h extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Bodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I r e t with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, 1 had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since.
