NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUIt• ANCE SOCIETY, REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. METROPOLITAN DISTRICT (No. 1) MEETING. Last night a most crowded meeting of this division of the Metropolitan Association, which comprises the parishes of St. Martin-inthe-Fields,- and St. Anne and St. Margaret, Westminster, was field in the the atre of the London Mechanics' Institution, Southatnp ton-buildings, Chancery-lane, and the building, which will seat 1,100 people, was filled to overflow : there, was nut, in fact, standing-room. The chair was taken by Henry Warburton, Esq., supported by the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P., General Sir De Lacy Evans, J. L. Ricardo, Esq., M.P., Wm. Ewart, Esq., M.P., Dr. Bowring, MP., Col. Thompson, - James Wilson, Mr. M'Leod, Mr. Daniel, Dr. Black, Mr. Sidney Smith, has said, justly, that commerce between nations should be carried on as it is between individuals. He has admitted, moreover, that it is from commerce and manufactures that England derives its greatness ; and that if he was the exclusive partisan of the agricul turist, he should always tell him that the manufac turer was his best friend. It was his (Mr.. Villiers') opinion that it now depended upon the metropolis whether these laws should be repealed.—(Applause.) He trusted that they would not be deluded by , the silly notion that this was only a manufacturer s question, and that it was only they that were inte- ' rested in its repeal. For one, he was bound to say that he thought that the manufacturers had been very tardy in the expression of their opinion on the sub ject, and he used constantly himself, before the League was formed, to reproach them for not speaking out more on the subject.—(Hear.) The League was now exerting itself with a spirit and energy that was be yond all praise —(Loud cheering)—and it only required the metropolis to act in hearty unison with them for complete success.—(Cheers.) Viewing, then, the question in this general light, and impressed with the importance of meeting the exigencies of an increasing, industrious, and commercial population, he trusted that this great metropolis, the seat of the Government, would not suffer itself to be again lulled, or deluded into apathy and indifference, but that they would now, once and for ever, call for the abolition of all restric tions on the trade in food.—(Loud cheers.) He con cluded by moving That the state of trade and com merce, the rapid increase of pauperism and crime, the continued decrease in the public revenue, and the ge neral discontent of the people, are circumstances which, while they demand an instant remedy, have their ori gin in the vicious policy which has restricted the field of national capital and industry, and which, while its advocates have recognised theoretically the' right of the community to buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest, has been practically continued in the new Tariff and Corn-law." Mr. RICARDO seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN was about to read the resolution, when two working men, Mr. BLACKMORE and Mr. RIDLEY, rose with the view of moving an amendment, by way of addition, not in opposition ; but being- out of order in point of time, they sat Town. The resolution having been put, Mr. BLACKNIORE again rose, amidst considerable interruption, to move the amendment. For some time he was stopped by cries of " turn him out." Another working man, in the confusion, mounted the railings, when both were immediately seized by the persons round the platform, and they were unceremoniously pushed over the rails. Dr. BLACK at length came forward, and demanded a fair hearing for every man. Quiet was restored for an instant, &ugh the dis turbance was renewed the moment Mr. Blaclimore opened his mouth. At lengh, The CHAIRMAN said he was endeavouring to obtain a hearing for Mr. Blackmore, when another person interrupted by trying to speak himself. He was op posed to anything like physical force, yet he hoped there was no one who would not give the greatest moral condemnation to the gentleman who was a second time out of order. As long as the gentleman who rose first kept to the subject of the Corn-laws, and did not enter upon any thing foreign to the dis cussion of the meeting, he (the Chairman) would sit quietly and hear him. If that person deviated he would call him to order, and would expect the assist ance of the meeting in keeping order. Mr. BLACKMORE again mounted the platform, and said that he did not mean to speak against the reso lution. He differed from the gentleman who had ad dressed them as to the mode in which these monopo lies could be overcome. He did trust that every one would unite in upsetting a Government which was supported by so many monopolies, and that they would upset the Government by the use of the very means recommended in the circular issued to the meeting.--("lVlicre's your nurse ?" "Turn him mit," " Socialists," and other cries.) The amend ment he would propose would be to the effect—that seeing all classes of Reformers united for the support of the contest carried on by Mr. Joseph Sturge for the redress of other grievances, this - meeting would send a delegate to the meeting about to belield at Birmingham on the 27th of December, to assist in opposing all monopolies. The CHAIRMAN asked the meeting whether this was not an amendment utterly foreign to the subject of discussion that evening, which was limited to mono polies of corn or other articles of consumption—(Cries of " Yes, yes")—and then declared that the amend ment was disorderly, and could not be put.—The original question was then put and carried, amidst confusion.

The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the evening, said that, in pursuance of the recommenda tion of the Central Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law League., London had been divided into several dis tricts, for the purpose of promoting the success of the great cause in which he presumed all their hearts were engaged. This meeting was the meeting of the first district of the local associations into which the Central League had recommended that London should he di- vided ; and in meeting them upon that occasion, he might be permitted to congratulate them on the con trast which the order of that meeting presented to the meetings upon the same subject web were called some eighteen months since, not 4 inany hundred yards from that place. At that time there was no sympathy enlisted in their cause ; now there was not a single disturber of the meeting, all were anxious that the great cause should prosper.—(Cheers.) And why had they met there ? Because they believed that they felt a great public grievance—(Cheers)— and, as Englishmen, whatever some parties might whisper in the shape of threats of prosecution, and he knew not what—(Laughter)—there they were, met to confess themselves Members of the League, liable to prosecution or not, to discuss the removal of what they said was a great public grievance.—(Cheers.) It was for these purposes that public meetings were held, and to afford to the gentlemen interested an op portunity of stating their opinions, and of that inter course of thought by which they endeavour to spread those great principles. Having said thus much, his first business would be to call upon Mr. C. P. Villiers to move the first resolution. _ _ _ Mr. VILLIERS was received with great cheering. This agitation was rendered necessary, nd was forced upon the people by the circumstances of the country and the condition of the Legislature.—(Cheers.) Abuses the most glaring, laws the most mischievous, were left unreformed ; and facts the most startling, reasoning the most cogent, would be heard with in difference, unless some sign could be shown of almost approaching convulsion, springing from the anger and discontent of the community.—(Cheers.) All the great measures—which it would be the shame of the country if they were still in dispute--have been ex torted from the Legislature by this means—(Hear, hear)—whether it was the abolition of slavery, the establishment of religious freedom, the enfranchise ment of our large towns, the reduction of postage, or the partial application of free trade—all had been re fused to calm remonstrance or patient endurance, and had been-conceded to agitation and to the difficulty of longer withholding them. However, if agitation-had been justified in other matters, more especially would he say it was so in this case ; for the question of free trade had, in his opinion, a more important bearing upon the permanent interests of this country than any other matter that could be named—(Hear) —the resistance was of a more immediately interested cha racter than any other; and he would say that the moment was never so appropriate, inasmuch as we were just at the end of an experience which estab lished beyond question that every thing pretending to a public character that had been urged in defence of monopoly had been proved to be fallacious, and might almost be referred to as a detected imposture.--(Loud cheers.) If he wanted an example of the justice of this observation, he would only point to the very dis tricts for whose interest especially the Corn-law was always pleaded. The law, it was said, would keep the labourer in employment—would maintain the rate of his wages—would secure price to the farmer; and ad vance the science of agriculture. Why, what was it at this particular moment they were hearing and see ing in every direction ? The unions were overflow ing with agricultural labourers, dismissed from their service; their wages were everywhere being reduced; the farmer was complaining that there was less de mand for his produce, though he had more poor-rates to pay ; and the landlord, fbrsooth, is heard lecturing the farmer in every direction for the want of the skill and economy he has long shown in the cul tivation of his land.—(Cheers, and great laughter.) He did hope that those who had hitherto been indif ferent to this question, or who, above want them selves, had not considered the sufferings of others, would seriously reflect, if it was only with the view to their own interest, on the social condition of this country at present. Do let them reflect upon the de plorable condition in which millions of the people are now living—congregated in dense masses in different parts of the country, excited by their sufferings, ren dered intelligent by collision, partially educated, and now h aving access to the same sources of information as the rest of the community by means of a perfectly free press.—(Hear, hear.) Let them remember also . that it is proved that the supply of food in this country does not keep pace with the population ; that the demand also for the products of this country by other countries does not keep pace with the productive powers of the people, which, by means of numbers and ingenuity, are annually augmenting—(Hear) — that the population is increasing at a rate of 100 births an hour over the deaths, or 1,200 a day.—(Hear, hear.) And if these are the circumstances of the country, the mass of the people thus ill-fed and ill employed—can a man be sane who prescribes for such a condition a deliberate legislative obstruction in the exchange of the food of other countries for the results of the industry of this country ?—(Loud cheers.) And yet, Gentlemen, this is the question now in agi tation as to the repeal of the Corn-laws—(Hear, hear) —whether or not, with a population circumstanced as ours is, they shall be continued.—(Hear, hear.) We see that the distresses of the people are acknowledged by the universal joy expressed at the prospect of a market in China being opened to our manufactures. People hope that it may bring timely relief to the unfortunate artisans of this country, and yet there is nothing in the custom of China that is one jot better for the English manufacturer than that of Europe, which we have repudiated, or of America, that we still refuse.—(Cheers.) The industrious classes of this country want to find customers for the fruits of their labour ; they have no preference for China, and they complain of the legislative obstruction which is interposed with other countries.—(Cheers.) We nearly prohibited altogether the only article which most of our best customers had to pay for our manu factures, and the consequence has been they have be come manufacturers for themselves, and we have lost their custom.—(Cheers.) Whenever he had felt it his painful duty to bring the subject before the House, he had generally been taunted by some of the country gentlemen with the inutility of his efforts, as they said the people were not with him—they said that it was no use bringing forward the subject till they were, as they never should concede while the people were indifferent.—(Hear, hear.) He had always ac knowledged the fact that the people did not support the motion as he thought it was their interest to do, but that they did it not from being deluded.—(Hear, hear.) And let any man now revie w th e p re dictions of those who had given thought and consideration to the subject, and say if there is one single thing that has happened, that had not been expected and specifi cally foretold by them, as almost necessary to result from it.—(Hear, hear.) And now he turned to the evidence which the country afforded of the results of a perseverance in this fatal policy, as it affected the labouring population both in town and country ; and he looked to the unions, the gaols, the hospitals—aye, to the graves—(Cheers)—to mark the potency of this legislation against industry and commerce, in spread ing disease, and crime, and misery, and death through out the land—(Loud cheers)—and ultimately of the consequences to the agricultural interest itself, in lowering the value of their produce.—(Hear, hear.) The last Ministers told the aristocracy that they must abandon their monopoly, and they were turned off immediately.—(Hear, hear.) They told it to them somewhat abruptly, he admitted—(Hear, hear, and a laugh)—but they were dismissed because those who were now in their service told them that they need not abandon their monopoly, and that they would serve them upon the terms of maintaining it.—(Cheers and laughter.) Well, how have they done it ?—(Cbeers.) Have they been able, in spite of their professions, to stand up against a starving people, a declining com merce, and a sinking revenue ? sTo ; they have ad mitted that the time is past for doing so, and now, if they are prcperly pressed, they will go on in the right direction.—(Cheers.) You have now a Minister in Sir Robert Peel who professes to agree with you in opinion ; urge him, then, to be true to his professions. You know his creed, as he has announced it.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN an d COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. ~..~~~ half, we were struggling also for the whole world. —(Cheers.) With the feeling; therefore, that the Government and the Legislature would do nothing un less the people spoke with an imperative voice ; and that on the exertion of the people must rest the re peal of the Corn-laws, he would sum up by moving —" That as no reliance can be placed on the wisdom or patriotism of the Government or of the Legisla ture for relieving the country from its difficulties, the intelligence and moral feeling of the people must be appealed to as the means of inducing the powers of the State to deal equal justice to all ranks of her Ma jesty's subjects," Sir DE LACY EVANS seconded the resolution. He congratulated them upon their present meeting, be looked upon it as a good commencement of the cam paign, and as a good reason for strenuous exertion. Mr. RUFFY RIDLEY cordially supported the reso lution—(Hear, hear)—and would only move a rider. His rider was, that the only means of obtaining jas tice was by the enactment of the People's Charter— (Ob, oh ! and hisses)—which would repeal the Corn laws, give trade and commerce to our country, and restore the happiness of its people. Mr. RIACEMORE rose to second the amendment. The CHAIRDIAN said they were not met to consider what alteration in the form of. Government would se cure freedom of trade, and he ruled that the rider was out of order. _ ..~ - ._ he would ask, if a man put his hand into his neigh• hour's pocket and took in the practice in w• purse, would it be expected V that he would be indulged tuity, because he had leased out the proceeds (Cheers.) He did not deny that there might be her& ship for the farmers; they were honest men, and honest men sometimes suffered ; but, though willing to do anything practicable for them, they could not wait for ever under an injustice. —(Cheers.) The Gallant Colonel concluded by moving—" That this meeting regards with much satisfaction the cordiality with which the country has responded to the appeal for subscriptions to the Great League Fund; and in order that the inhabitants of this metropolis may have an opportunity of contributing, in a manner wurtby of its wealth and commercial importance, to the ex pense of conducting this national cause to a happy issue, a London League Fund subscription book 1- 10 immediately opened at the office of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association." Mr. WILSON, in seconding the resolution, denied that the reduction of prices in articles of consumption had been occasioned by the alterations in the tariff. It had been occasioned by the diminished power of purchasing on the part of the masses, consequent upon their destitution. The prices of butter and cheese., neither of which were affected by the tariff, had fallen more in proportion than meat; while the importation of butter from abroad was 39,000 cwt. less this year than it had been last. The importations of cheese, flax, and wool, had all diminished, while the prices had fallen ; and as a proof of the destitution of ' the consuming classes in the metropolis, he would appeal to the fact, that during the present year the quantity of coals imported into London was less by 200,000 tons than last year. Prices had been reduced by di minished consumption, not by increased importation. The number of cattle imported into the whole of the United Kingdom hitherto would not supply Smith field for one week. The importation of sheep from Ireland into the manufacturing districts had dimi nished from 225,000 annually, to 155,000 annually. The Hon. Gentleman then stated that Huddersfield in one day had contributed 1,0581. to the League Fund, and urged the inhabitants of the metropolis ,to support the League. The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. J. Sstrrn announced that the Chairman had subscribed 501.—(Cheers)—and that a district meet ing would take place in Whitechapel on 7th Dec. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated, after three cheers had been giren for the Anti-Corn-law League. Mr. Semi declared that if he thought the discus sion was to be limited to one side; he would never attend a meeting. At the game time her:umatsay that he never saw in any meeting of working men, such conduct as had taken place that night.—(" Oh, oh," and hisses, " Go home," and " Groans.") The Anti-Corn-law League appeared to him to be like the man who offered to remove the mote out of his brother's eye. The final object of the Anti-Corn-law League was professed to be the improvement of the condition of the working men of the country, but what sort of moral principle was that which did not rest upon the principle of doing unto others as they would be done by ?—(lnterruption and " Question.") The CHAIRMAN said it was evident that the gentle man would not obtain a hearing from the meeting, after every endeavour on, his part ; and if he continued he must put it to the meeting, whether it was their pleasure to continue bearing him ?—(This was ac cordingly done, and only four hands were held up for the hearing, and Mr. Spur sat down.) Dr. BOWRING would have been gratified if the meeting could have heard every one. He (Pr. Bowring) had ) , met with a few in a small room at Manchester to form the Anti-Corn-law League ; they were not noticed; they were not reported ; but they had now become known, and assisted, because their object was the universal good. Other ques tions, such as negro slavery, and Catholic emancipa tion, interested only a portion of the community. This question interested all mankind; and if any one still doubted the efficacy of repeal, he would urge them to consider it in reference to its mighty im portance upon the permanent interests of the world. The world looked to England for a great example, and every Englishman ought to feel that it rested with him to take a large and ex pansive view of his duty to others. Let there be no ' more separation between different countries than between different sides of the street. Let all be united for the general good. The arguments for repeal were now brought home to every man's bosom, and the general response of the people of England to the ap peal of the Anti-Cora-law League had already startled the monopolists, for they saw in the answer to that appeal the evidence of victory; and let them be assured that, by the victory of free trade in this country, they would not only be labouring for their own interest, but would lay a widebasis of humanity and virtue for strengthening those principles which time could only increase, and which no arguments could overthrow. The resolution was then put and carried. Colonel P. THOMPSON presented himself to move the third resolution. He would not, at that late hour, detain them long. He would only tell them where the shoe pinched himself, and he would ask them whether it did not pinch them in the same place ? Four 'toes were dreadfully pressed already, and of the fifth he had great apprehensions. In the first place, then, he had property in land, and he complained that he was cut off from the prosperity of his commercial neighbours. Perhaps they would say that they did not care for the interests of the landowners. Be it so. Possibly they had not much reason to care for thein.—(Cheers.) But why should they not assist one another if the help could be afforded without trouble or loss ? His next suffering was that he found himself cut off, as all landlords were, of all opportunities of establishing their children in life in the manner in which they ought. Where was he to find employment for them? If he took the Church — (Laughter)—there were more ecclesiastics already than there were tithe pigs.—(Cheers.) If he made one a lawyer, there were already more lawyers than briefs. If he took the doctors, there were more doc tors than sick men who can pay.—(Cheers and laughter.) Next was his complaint No. 3. He suf fered, as he supposed most did, from the Income-tax. It was a connivance of the landlords to enable the Legislature to raise money to meet the expenditure, and the Income-tax was imposed to obviate the diffi culty of allowing commerce to go free.—(Cheers.) That was the history of his three miseries. Then came the other misfortune. His friends in Phila. delphi could not pay their debts.—(Loud cheers.) How came that about ? His friends there doubtless said, " Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all," and so he hoped they might--(Laughter)—but why had they not paid before? Because by our refusing a natural commerce, they were prevented paying in the only manner in which they were able and . willing to pay.—(Cheers.) How many were there who participated with him in these four miseries ? And yet he heard another evil whistling in the wind. He had some Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, and down would come the Minister, and would say, " These stocks I will cut down from 3i to 3 per cent." This would take away . ls per cent. of his property, or something 'like - 'five inc ome taxes. The 11Iinister wo uld say that the country was flourishing, and that stocks were high. He denied this. He knew that at some seasons the loss of a couple of frigates would make the stocks fall ; but he maintained, that if the stocks rose from prosperity, they would also rise from the evil of want of employment for capital. What regulated the rate of interest in the funds ; was it not the rate of interest paid for money in this country ? If a manufacturer gained 10 per cent., he could afford to pay 5 for interest; if he gatned 9 per cent., he could only afford 4 per cent. ; if he gained but 7 per cent., interest would drop to 3, and so on. He would ask, therefore, why the interest and the value of stock should not drop, under Providence and the blessing of the Corn-laws, to 3-Is, to 3, to 2, or so low that no one without a microscope could tell what the interest was ?—(Cheers.) They would, doubt less, soon hear the Minister, with the strength of this argument of prosperity, turn to the little boys behind him, as he (Colonel Thompson) had seen him, and bid them cheer whilst he told them that this rise was all owing to the public happiness and contentment.—(Laughter.) Here was his five reasons for joining the Anti-Corn-law League. Those who were engaged in commerce would have many more ; and he was sure that there was no one who was not aware that these restrictions brought down the rate of wages with those who lived upon wages, and brought down the rate of profits with those who lived upon profits. As to the opening of the China trade, we had robbed a harmless Quaker community of twenty-one millions of dollars for not swallowing our opium, but what satisfaction should we have in opening that trade, whilst we cut off a better trade at home ? The people could not eat tea, they could not eat the bamboo.—(Cheers and laughter.) The opening of trade might add to the comforts of the rich landlord, but would it feed the wretched crea tures whose families were starving for want of corn? Pains were taken to put off the trade in corn, whilst they would be told of the increase in silks and tea. He recommended them, therefore, to stick to their demands. Why should they be sent after commerce 3,000 leagues away, and leave those chan nels which were only 300 miles off ? The Go vernment told them they might not trade in anything they did want, but in anything they did not want they might trade. He would now furnish the ladies definition of monopoly : with a brief and family "It was robbing everybody for the benefit of somebody, and throwing away half by the way."—(Much cheer ing.) That was what all monopolies came to. When ever there was one gain by monopoly there were two losses to balance it, and that was the secret of mono poly. Now, one word as to those who blamed the Anti-Corn -law League because they did not join in this agitation. They said that their own measures if so, was it p o licy to tie th em t o mulsomethingdno t i s l N e v a i v m ; i er —(Cheers ?) He did not join, not because he did not love their cause ; but, because upon this point of the Corn-laws he thought his friends had strength, and he therefore wished to shake this part of the wall first.—(Cheers.) Then, as to the argument of the gentleman in the gallery (Mr. Spur), that they ought not to repeal these laws, because of the leases— PROSPECT of TRADE with CRINA. Already the news of the peace with China has operated favourably upon our markets, giving a most important stimulus to the markets of Man chester and Liverpool, and a much improved feeling to that of Leeds. The new ports opened, the respect which the Imperial Government will be likely to show to British trade, the decidedly► commercial character of the Chinese people, their immense numbers, and the much nearer approach which our merchants will now be able to make to the northern and colder:parts of China where wool lens are worn, are all circumstances that must operate to increase the export of British manufactures to that country. But whilst this confidence may be reasonably en tertained, our merchants and manufacturers would do well to act with caution. There has scarcely ever been a new opening like this afforded to trade, that it has not in a few months been terribly overdone, and the exporters have glutted the market, and thus thrown away their property. It was thus on the re opening of the: merican trade after the revolutionary war—on the opening of the Brazilian and Buenos Ayrean markets to England—on the opening of the European markets at the peace a 1814—and on the opening of the Indian markets at the abolition of the East India Company's monopoly. It ought to be known that there is at the present moment a year's stock of all kinds of British manufactures on hand in China. During the last twelve months very few goods have been sold in that market, and the latest commer cial letters represent prices as exceedingly low. We state these facts cn the authority of a gentleman en gaged in the trade, whose character is a guarantee for the accuracy of his statements. We also know that in this country there are large stocks in the hands of the 'manufacturers, of goods intended for the China market ; and as it is certain that those goods will be sent off by the first opportunity, there will be the less room for those who may come after them. It may further be useful to manufacturers and merchants to know, that the Chinese are the most particular people in the world as to the colours, the making-up, the widths, lengths, and weights of the goods they purchase. There is not a house in the trade which has not bought 'its knowledge of the Chi nese tastes and habits by dear experience. Our Bradford friends may not all be aware that the Chinese have religious or quasi religious scruples against wearing fabrics which are made of two diffe rent materials, as wool and cotton. We know of a case in which a lot of worsted goods with cotton warps were sent to Canton, and were sold on arrival by the pattern card ; but on the day following the sale was cancelled by the Hong merchants, who alleged that the goods were made of animal and vegetable sub stances mixed, which was contrary to nature as well as to their religion. In this respect the Chinese act on the principle laid down in the Mosaic law—" Neither s hall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee."—Levit. xix. 19. It may be relied on that mixed fabrics will not sell in China. The kinds of woollens principally sent to China are ladies' cloths and medium cloths, fabrics which employ a large proportion of wool. The district in which they are chiefly made comprises the villages of Raw don, Yeadon, Guisely, Idle, Shipley, and Eccleshill, and they come to the Leeds market. The market at our White Cloth Hall, on Tuesday last, was the best that has been known for two years. In cottons, the article principally sent to China is shirtings, of which the largest sales ever known were made in Canton, just before the departure of the last mail but one ;' and a degree of improvement bad in consequence been felt in the trade even prior to the news of the peace. Cotton twist is also sent in large quantities. It is anticipated that as the cottons of England have superseded those of India, so_they will supersede those of China, as soon as they can be brought into competition with them. An immense demand may therefore arise for our cotton manu factures. _ _ _ - 'l 7 lleprincipal difficulty of our merchants will be in obtaining returns from China. The only large im ports from that country now are in tea and silk. Pro bably other articles may be discovered in the northern parts of China ; and it is said that samples of tobacco of very superior quality have been shown in the Lon don market.—Leeds Mercury.

They con tinued to concert with the Christians, to whom they offered to perpetuate the union between the two people, against the common enemy. The Turks kept in check by the revolters, and already beaten, were striving to avert an impending catastrophe, by en deavouring to sow dissension among their enemies, 'but the cry of independence seems to have united the peeple of the mountain in one feeling, one idea, that of throwing off a yoke intolerable to the adherents to both religions.

Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, held an inquest at Guy's Hospital yesterday evening, upon the body of Elizabeth Thompson, aged 51. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that the deceased had been subject to fits for the last seventeen years, and on Tuesday evening while sitting alone at the kitchen-fire in her own house, No. 15, Ayliffe-street, Horsemonger-lane, (her daughter having left the house for a few minutes), one of these suddenly attacked her, and she stumbled on to the fire. Her dress ignited, and although assistance was promptly rendered by a stranger passing, who • rolled her in the carpet, tore the remainder of her clothes off, and conveyed her without loss of time to the above hos pital, she died in great agony in a few hours after her admission. Verdict, " Accidental Death." Su ,„„ D EATu c,___Air Tinker Ma two inpleqs at the Cape of Good hope, in Commercial-road, on the bodies of Margaret Cheshire, aged 71, and Julia Ma bony, aged 9 years. The first person had been quite well at 5 o'clock on Wednesday last, and while speak ing to her son at the tea-table, she suddenly fell from her chair to the floor, and though a surgeon was sent for immediately, his services were of none avail, for she died soon after. The girl had been ailing for some time, but was not supposed to be in immediate danger. She went to bed well upon Tuesday even ing, and died in the afternoon of the succeeding day. The surgeon attributed her death to convulsions. In both cases verdicts of Natural Death were record d. THE ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GREVILLB-SREET. —A deputation, consisting of Mr. Hughes Hughes, chairman, the Rev. Dr. Knapp, chaplain, Dr. Hume Wetherhead, physician, Dr. William Marsden, prin cipal surgeon, the Rev. R. C. Packman, honorary secretary, and Mr. Fenn, an active member of the Committee of this great charity, waited on Wed nesday morning upon Alderman Sir John Pixie, Bart., the late Lord Mayor, to express to him the deep obligation felt by its authorities for the liberal and invaluable countenance received from him during the year o f his occupation of the Civic Chair. Alderman Pixie received the deputation with his ac customed courtesy, but assured them how entirely uncalled for was the visit with which they had taken the trouble to honour him. He had done nothing more while Chief Magistrate than, he was sure, every succeeding occupier of the Civic Chair would be found anxious to do to promote the success of an Institu tion upon which so much zeal was exerted with such immense advantage to the most destitute forlorn of the public of this vast metropolis ; and to which, moreover, the Lord Mayor, and every Sitting Ma gistrate, had the great comfort and privilege of sending any suitable case, with the confidence that it would instantly receive every possible attention— disease and destitution being, as he well knew, the the only passport necessary to obtain the charitable aid of the Royal Free Hospital. Mr. Hughes Hughes took the opportunity of stating to Sir John Pixie what he was afraid was not sufficiently known to the public, that the two Rev. Gentlemen present, both of them Priests in Ordinary to her Majesty, and Canons of St. Paul's Cathedral, thought it not be neath them to labour in their holy calling amongst the wretched inmates received within the walls of this hospital ; and, not only on Sundays, but at all times, to afford them moral and religious instruction, and that many, he hoped and believed, received lasting benefit in that most important way, as well as bodily cure within the Institution. Sir John Pixie assured the deputation that he had heard those particulars with great interest, and that the authorities of the hospital might at all times rely with confidence upon his best exertions for its welfare and advance ment, and particularly since the noble efforts they had lately made, in reliance upon the public sym pathy and liberality, in purchasing and fitting up, at a cost of nearly 10,0001. on the whole, the extensive premises of AI essrs. Sedden, in Gray's Inn-lane, for merly the barracks of the City Light Horse Volun teers, to which the Charity is about to be removed. THE BRUSSELS TRAGEDY.—M. Caumartin, in stead of proceeding from Rotterdam to England and thence to America, as has been said to have been his intention, came to Paris, and, having embraced his mother, immediately went to the Procureur-General, and offered at once to submit to be imprisoned and brought to trial. The officer of the Crown informed him that, as no complaint had been lodged against him, there was no ground for his being taken into custody. Upon this he immediately set off for Brussels, with the determination of surrendering himself to justice in Belgium. Before he departed, he wrote two letters, dated Nov. 27. The first is to the Procureur du Roi, in which, after announcing his resolution, he declares that he shall be able to prove that he was provoked, struck, and wounded first, and that the tragical ter mination of the deplorable conflict was totally in dependent of his own will. The second letter is to M. Chaix d'Estange, as Batonnier of the order of Advocates, of which M. Caumartin is a member. In this the writer expresses his regret at not having found him at home, on calling with his brother in .law, as he wished to convince him that, under the painful situation in which he was placed, he had done nothing to forfeit his esteem, and hoping to have in sured his powerful aid in conjunction with that of M. Dupin in defending him, if he could have been brought to trial in France.— Galignani. SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, at twelve, two privates of the Ist Life Guards, now sta tioned at llyde-park barracks, Knightsbridge, were taken to the strong room for being drunk. 0 /1 0 e i . the prisoners wrenched several strong iron bars frorr. the window of the room where they were confined, opened the casement, and, with one hand, laid hold of the sill of the next window, to endeavour to drop to ' the ground, but he missed his hold, and fell on the stone pavement. He was carried to the hospital of hi s regiment with both his thighs breken, and otherwise dreadfully bruised. Mr. Ear ART then rose to move the second resolu- tion. It consisted of three parts. It declared, in substance, first, that the Government of this country would not repeal the Corn-laws ; secondly, that the Legislature of this country would not repeal the Corn laws, unless, thirdly, the people compelled them to repeal the Corn-laws. Whether the Government were Whig or Tory, unless full expression were given to the will of the people, the Government would not repeal the Corn-laws. Who would have believed, when the doctrine of free trade fell from the expiring lips of the Whig Administration, that Sir Robert Peel would have stood forward as their personal represen tative ?—(Cheers and laughter.) He had tardily adopted the principle as he had done on Catholic emancipation, waiting till he was won over by the determination of the people. He (Mr. Ewart) would ask, therefore, whether it was or was not right, as a mere matter of expediency, to continue the agitation? Whether the Ministry were Whig or Tory, from the the Ministry they could expect nothing, unless they continued unceasing constitutional agitation. If such were the only means of producing conviction in the Government, could they succeed any better, except by the use of similar means, with the legislative body? If the Ministers would not give them free trade, let him ask whether the Legislature would? The advo cates for free trade had not only to oppose the heavy artillery of the old country gentlemen, but the lighter forces of the legislators who had been distinguished as the " white waistcoats." It was with legislators such as these that the voice of reason was thrown away, unless it were confirmed by the unanimous voice of the people. It was to obtain this support that the Anti-Corn law League was proceeding by giving lectures and information to the people, backed by a 50,0001. purse, to pierce the sevenfold shield of the aristo cracy, and attach the labouring classes. Already the landlords were beginning to doubt whether the Corn laws were really a benefit to them—they doubted whether agriculture could exist without manufactures. Already the farmers were asking for long leases, and were telling the landlords that property has its duties as well as its rights; and, finally, the labouring agri cultural classes in the country were penetrating the mist, and were discovering that they could not be be nefited by the obstructions of commerce and manu factures, and by the interference with the labour of the people. Was it not obvious, therefore, that they could expect nothing from either, except through their own exertions ? As the French proverb declared, " Aide toi, et le Dieu Caldera." Unless the Legislature and the Government were impressed sensibly by the dis contented, they would do nothing. They had, how ever, heard it declared from the Bench by a British Judge—from that Bench whence nothing unconstitu tional should flow—that Englishmen ought not to meet for the purpose of discussing their rights and interests. They had, however, the right so to meet, and they would continue to exercise it.—(Cheers.) He knew of no Chief Baron of old who would have promulgated such doctrines as to the right of free discussion, except Chief Baron Minos or Rhada manthus—(Loud cheers) —whose decrees were so in exorable that it was in vain for any individual to struggle against them. They would , h owever, exercise this right ; and if they had no such- right, English men would see whether they could not establish it for themselves, even at the sacrifice of their lives, before they would willingly leave such a degrading inherit ance to their posterity.—(Cheers.) These were the constitutional principles on which their ancestors had resisted every obstacle to the right of free discussion, and that right their descendants would maintain. What was left to them upon this important question, except to agitate the people of this country, to impress upon them the conviction which almost universally prevails in the commercial classes, and to extend as far as they could the growing concurrence of the ag ricultural community ? For himself, he did not de spair of producing a conviction on the agriculturists, partly because many would be convinced by reason, and partly because nothing tended so much to weary an unjust domination as the exercise of the power of ceaseless agitation by those engaged against it in de fence of a just cause.—(Cheers.) The system of re striction was detrimental to all, and he rejoiced to see the principle of freedom extending, not only here, but in America, which was about to shake off the shack les which an unwise legislation had placed upon her, and to reject a system which had bound her in com mercial s lavery.—(Cheers.) He was rejoiced to know that whilst we were struggling in our own be- 7 C -,e._.__.,,,.0 47 L ••• 4 +r V. "" 4k 4W el ‘ i* , • • r - • 0 te.p. 'Ogg 1111 11 0111;_ 114 un.
