PRICE sd. , 17171 IMP GREAT LIVERPOOL MEETING FOR THE REPEAL OF THE CORN LAWS LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—The great Liverpool meeting, to petition Parliament for the Repeal of the Corn-laws, took place this afternoon at the Sessions House, Chapel-street. The Mayor of Liverpool, HUGH HORNE; Esq , occupied the chair. The proceedings commenced a few minutes after one, and did not terminate until five o'clock. It was the wish of many persons that the meeting should have been held in a situation better calculated for the accom modation of the vast number interested in this great question Cla3ton-square, a large open area in the centre of the town, has previously been the scene of the great political meetings in Liverpool, and many hoped that in this place the present meeting would have been held. But there were two objec tions against it; first, the inclement season of the year, operating against the practicability of long exposure in the open air; and secondly, the belief entertained by the Mayor hits - self and his friends that meetings, over which the chic: Magistrate of Liverpool preskled ex officio, ought not to be held beyond the walls of the Sessions'. house. The building a small one (the place where the mee'oiss was held, is the Nisi Prins Court of the South Lancashire Assizes), is the least eligible that could have been selected for such a purpose. The Court was crowded to excess, end the doors were besieged long before the hour fixed for the com mencement of the proceedings. Although a number of leading Tories ia the town signed the requisition to the Mayor for calling this meeting, yet fees attended, it being understood that a split had taken place between them and the Abolitionists at the preliminary meet ing, on some of the mooted points. Sonic of the leading Tories, opposed to any change in the present Corn-laws, dl•i however, attend, for the purpose of defeating the object of tie , meeting ; but in numbers, as well as argument, they cut a most pitiable figure. They even had the temerity to move counter resolutions, which were indignantly scouted by the vast ma jority present; and finding their position so helpless, they re tired -crest fallen at an early hour, leaving their triumphant op ponents in possession of the field. Fearing that the Tories meditated a ruse, which they had practised with some success in the same place on former oc casions, the Mayor very properly gave orders that no persons were to be admitted into the Court except the requisitionists and the press, until the hour announced for the commence ment of the proceedings. This precaution was the more necessary, on account of the Court not being capable of con taining more than seven er eight hundred people—a number the Tories could readily have packed, provided circumstances favoured the experiment. Formerly, taking advantage of the smalluaess.of the place, and procuring the attendance of their friends before the hour of meeting, the Tories assembled in great force, and contrived to disturb, and even on one occa sion defeated, in this same Court, an expression of opinion cei some leading political topic on the part of the Reformers. This, however, was effectually guarded against to-day, and the Tories who attended, as the advocates of the famine laws, - were listened to with patience, and even attention. The conduct of the Mayor, who claimed at the outset a fair and impartial hearing for eve:), speaker, and exerted himself successfully in obtaining • it, won from all parties an expres sion of admiration. Among the leading Tories present were - Mr. Nicholas Robinson, Mr. Duncan Gubb, Mr. R. Horsfall, Mr. J. Sheppard, Mr. Dunlevie, &e., &c., accompanied by a very unmanageable, but impotent tail. The leading Aboli tionists present included Mr. William Rathbone, Mr. Wal lace Currie, Mr. J. Walmsley, Mr. R. Shiel, Mr. R. E. Har vey, Mr. 0. Wood, Mr. Thomas Thornely, M. P., Mr. Gco. Holt, Mr. James Aitkin, Mr. Thomas Bolton, Mr. Earle, and a number of other wealthy individuals, whose united ca pital would represent all the " dirty acres" belonging to the Squirearchy in half a dozen counties. T. THORN:J.I', Esq., M. P., rose and said it was a mat ter of great congratulation to him, amidst the sufferings in flicted on a large portion of the population, in consequence of the high price of provisions, arising from the late unpro ductive harvest, that in this important community, and in many of the principal commercial and manufacturine towns, the attention of the public was about to be directed to the operation of the Corn-laws, with a view to prevent those advancements in price which were so injurious to the community at large, and to extend the commerce and ma nufactures of the country so much, that in the event of a return of such visitations of Providence, we might be better able to sustain the grievance that would press upon us. He hoped many of the gentlemen in the room had attended to the important proceedings which had recently taken place in the neighbouring town of Manchester en this subject. The per plc there, from their peculiar position at the head of the cotton trale of the world, experters of manufac:ur s to every part of the globe, were better informed than ethers as to the grievous interference with the trade of their district, owing to the establishment of manufactures in every foreign country. The facilities for the esteblisment of manufactures in foreign countries were very great. Every machine made in Englan.! was capable of being expoittd, or at least there was no tin cult) whatever in the man who constructed it transporting him self, and establishing manufactures in rivalry of our own We had great d:fficulties to contend with. We had anhenor. mous national debt, and we were bound to pay the interest of that debt. But the pressure of that debt was an additiered reason why every restriction ought, as far as possible, to be removed, so as to give free scope to the industry Gf the reople. (Cheers.) Ile had alluded to the cotton trade. But there was scarcely a trade in the country that was not, to a certain ex tent, similarly circumstanced. A friend of his, then in Court, had declared that the manufacturers on the borders of the Rhine, he believed, could undersell him. He had been asked if it was a fact, as stated in the petition to be submitted to the meeting, that the people of the Continent could successfully compete with us in hardware and cutlery? He could prove most unanswerably that such was the case.—(Hear.) The manufacturers of Sheffield had represented to Government that not only were they successfully competed with in hard ware and cutlt ry, but that manufactures were brought into the bonded warehouses, of London chiefly, with the forged marks of the Englieli manufacturer, and sold here, for exportation to the Colonies and elsewhere, at a cheaper rate than they could be furnished at by the manufacturers whose names were forged upon them.—( Hear.) In proof of what he had stated he begged to read a section of an Act of Parliament passed last Session, called the Customs' Amendinent Act. It was passed on the 15th of August last, and the 6th section, after reciting the state of the case, as he had put it, enacted that " from and after the sth of January," the present month, all goods so imported should be forfeited.." The first and great object of the trading people of this country ought to be to remove all restrictions on the importation of corn, in order that they might have increased supplies of food for the labouring classes, and an increased demand for the labour of our people by increasing the demand for manufactures. He trusted no gentleman in that meeting would consider himself merely a member of a commercial, and not also of a manu facturing community. The prosperity of this country was derived from its manufactures. This town was sustained by its imports for the use arid consumption of the manufac turing population, and by the agency which it carried on for the exportation of manufactured produce.--( Hear, hear.) They were, therefore, bound to give their hearty co-operation to Manchester and other towns, and to petition the Legisla ture, through the medium of their Representatives, to remove the restrictions on the importation of corn.—(Cheers.) Mr. Huskisson had foreseen the particular crisis in which they were then placed. On the 18th of March, 1830, in a speech in the House of Commons, he had used these words:—" If the price of those particular articles which we never export, and are frequently compelled to import, be materially dearer here than elsewhere, that dearness 'cannot - be shifted to the articles which we export; it must fall, in the way of deduc tion, either on the wages and comforts of the labourer, or on the profits of those who afford him employment." Had Mr. Huskisson been present at the meeting in Manchester, or in that room, he could not have used words more descriptive of the condition of the people of this country than those which he had used nearly nine years ago. The price of provisions was materially dearer here than in foreign countries; and if our manufacturers were to carry their goods abroad, and sell them at the sane price as those produced where subsistence was cheaper—if they were to keep up an export trade at all, they must either reduce their rate of profit, or still worse, the wages of the people. He had, a day or two ago, received a letter from one of his constituents at Wolverhampton, in which he said that they were there, with the iron and coal under their feet, and yet, from the rate of subsistence, the price of food, they were undersold by the hardware manufacturers of the Continent of Europe.—( Hear, hear.) There had been at all times laws for the regulation of food. In 1815 Parliament bad prohibited ,the importation of wheat till the price rose to 80s. per quarter. They were now paving, or liable to pay, a high duty on wheat till the price got to 735., per quarter. Then the duty was lowered to one shilling per quarter. But those who framed that law ought to have given a guaran .tee that the price should go no higher than 735. It had, how ever, risen to 80s„ which was the average of the presenttime. All sorts of laws had been enacted with respect to the importation of food. Sometimes large bounties had been given on the exportaiion cif British corn. He remembered sales by auction in the brokers' offices, of American wheat and flour, attended, according to Act of Parliament, by an officer of customs and excise, who kept a regular catalogue of the prices; and whatever it sold for below the guaranteed price was paid out of the public money. He held in his hand a list of the rates of duty of foreign and colonial grain from the sth of January, 1837, to the sth of January, 1838. The duty paid was not very con siderable, but the meeting would be surprised to hear that, though there had been only 219,000 quarters, the average rate of duty was very nearly the enormous sum of 30s. per quarter. 134,000 quarters bad paid 1/. Bs. Bd. per quarter. In • Sep tember last, in consequence of the high price of corn, the duty fell to is. per quarter. It only remained at that point, however, one week ; the next week it was 2s. 6d., the third los. Bd., the fourth 16s. Bd., the fifth 20s. Bd., the sixth 21s. Bd., the 7th 225. Bd. Then it gradually fell till it again reached the nominal rate of Is. He could not for bis life ima gine a Pestent of trade more completely absurd than the exio.- ing duties.—( Cheers.) A prohtisitory duty was a grievous in justice. Its effect was to drive manufactures of the country. The corn trade of this country was no trade ; it was gambling and speculation. No foreign merchant could tell at what price he could afford to sell his wheat or flour in thi& country, because he could never know what duty he should be obliged to pay.--( Hear.) We had laws in this country ; we had societies formed, and were at great pains in providing the means of emigration. He wished every man who believed he could better his condition by going abroad, to do so.--( Hear.) But why not let the people stay at home, if they chose, and bring the cheap food to their own doors ?—( Hear, and ap plause.) There were very many societies highly creditable. to the various town in the kingdom, for the relief of the poor'. But why have laws that, by preventing the importation of food, prevented the people maintaining themselves ?—( Hear, hear.) Their Poor-laws, and their Poor-law Amendment Acts, partook, in his opinion, of the same absurdity.—( Hear_) The resolution which he should have the honour to propose was merely introductory. If the petition were adopted, he would urge on the meeting the necessity of the most energetic measures for the co-operating with their excellent and enlight ened neighh ours of Manchester, by sending a deputation to work with them, in ()tinging before Government in the most forcible manner the merits of the case. He had a great respect for the lAnd/ords of the country ; he envied them not, but it was not fair to reckon the benefits they received by the price of wheat merely. How much - had the value of the land on which this town stood been increased by the business carried on in it.—( Hear. hear. and ch , era. ) He might. instance the Earls of Derby and Sefton, the Marquis of Westminster, with his immense pro perty in Ilelgrave.square, and others. They were indebted to the industry of the British people. He mentioned the recent successful resistance of the market gardeners of London to a proposed reduction of the duties on Foreign fruits, to show that opposition must be expected, and that their exertions must not be confined to the business of that day. If they meant to succeed in that great and good cause they must earnestly set their shoulders to the wheel. He concluded by . movieg, " That in a country of limited territory, in propor tion to its population, the resources of manufactures and Foreign - commerce are absolutely necessary to the support of internal prosperity, and to the maintenance of a position of power and influence in reference to Foreign states." Mr. CHRISTOPHER RAWDON, in seconding the motion, ob served that he had suffered considerably from the competition of Foreign manufacturers. He had been driven from one M arket after another, an d t wo y ears ago h e h a d beenin formed that the French could und erse ll th em . H e had been sformed by his correspondent in Columbia that goods could be obtained cheaper from Aix-la- Chapelle than they could be supplied from this country.--(Hear, hear.) He had conse quently been obliged to abandon the whole trade, and could no longer furnish the same employment to the British la boater.-_( Hear.) The resolution was then put from the Chair, and carried with a few dissentients. Mr. H. BOOTH said, not being directly engaged in either manufacturing or commercial pursuits, he might be allowed to look at the question in a moral point of view. He con ceived that the direct tendency of laws, like our Corn-laws, was to make any nation first stationary and then retrograde. This nation had all the elements of prosperity, and for making a great and happy people, except one—it had not abundance of food. But such abundance could be procured. The ma nufacturer, after having produced his goods, looked around for a market. He had it not at home, but he saw a country which was differently constituted, and existing under a diffe rent state of society; which country was willing to give food in return for manufactures. This natural compact was just about to be made, when the landlord stepped forward with his mystical word " protection," and stopped it. The land lords had frequently in their mouth a phrase which they seemed to have considered very significant ; they said— " Have we not a right to do what we like with our own ?" Surely, when the landlord stepped in jest as the labourer was about to dispose of his stock of produce in exchange for The food which would be in demand in his own country, the labourer also had a right to exclaim—" Have I not a right to do what I like with my own ?"—( Applause.) The labourers of this country, after having industriously toiled to make goods to supply half tha habitable globe, were shut out by the land lords from the best markets. The consequence was that we that were now sending our people abroad—fie were establish ing normal schools in every nation to teach the arts which we ourselves knew. Nut only were we suppling other nations with the means of manufacturing goods for themselves, that they might Leconte competitors of ours, but our artisans were going over and absolutely teaching them how to make the very tools and machinery wherewith to operate. The generality of the people were not aware of the great effects which were thus being brought out. He had observed what had been brought out at the Macchester and other mectiegs on this subject, and the information had come like a clap of thunder upon the people. After a few other observations, Mr. Booth concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect, that the ten dency of the present code of Corn-laws was to cripple our commerce and manufactures, and destroy the main sources of our national prosperity. Mr. JAMES MULLINEUX said he had been requested to supp :rt the motion, and he did so With great pleasure. He had thought much on the subject, and was of opinion that it was the intention of the Almighty that the fullness of the harvest of one country should be used to supply the deficiency another, and thus to hind man to man all over the world. This had been frustratel by the will of a few of those in habiting this nation. lie believed it to be a fact that the prosperity of a nation mu,t depetd upon the happiness and con tentment of the bulk of its population. The bitter could not be either happy or content if they were not well end abun dantly supplied with food. Future generatioas, he believed, would scarcely credit that they could have tolerated a codo of laws so impolitic.-- (Applause.) Mr. DUNCAN GIBB said the gentlemen who had hitherto addre,sed the meeting had spoken only of the export tredo of the country. He begged to remind them that they had forgotten the great and main • feature, without which the quastion could nor be said to be fairly considered in all its bear;ngs. He begged to ask what was the amount of the exp et trade and what was the amount of the home trade? He be lieved the latter was at least six times as great as the former.--(" Hear, hear," loud cheers, and some expressions of disapprobation.) The effect of the Corn-laws had.been to keep up the price oflabour.—(" No, no," laughter, and cheers.) He would ask Mr. Thorncly and Mr. Raw don, what was the amount of the borne trade as compared with the export trade. The high price of wages consequent upon the operation of the Corn-laws, had the effect of enabling a man to earn what al lowed hilt something to spare for the luxuries as well as the necessaries of life.—(Cheers and disaprobation.) Impressed with these considerations he could not suffer the resolution to pass end remain silent ' • he would, theref o r e , mee t i t w i t h an amendment. He had some little experience, and was rot quite a boy in Liverpool. The landed interest, thirty years ago, had given energy to commerce, and had enabled it to go forward. It would be ungrateful in them to forget that, and lie wished to speak with proper gratitude of those interests and. institutions of les country to which commercial men owed a) much. Mr. abb then read the following an eldment:- -" That this meeting is satisfied that, after the experience of ele7en years, the existing laws for the protection of t ha, B. itish agriculturist have proved themselves to be just, po'itic, and salutary—just, because the landed interest is entitled to the same protection and encouragement which are freely 3i 'bled to the manufacturing aad mercantile interests of the coun try—politic, because a large and stated supply of foreign grain, while it would in the first place essentially injure the British grower, and limit the extent of home cultivation, would eventually render us dependent, more or less, upon, fcreln nations for a vital article of food—a condition which, in the event of war, might prove most inconvenient, if no; mo t disastrous—and salutary, because, in ordinary years, the fair fields and golden harvests of England have been found fully adequate to the wants of her people, and the la bourer, who has tilled those fields and reaped them down, has been protected so as to enjoy his rightful share of the common prosperity; while in years of scarcity like the pre sent, through the ingenious and admirable working of the • laws in question, the ports of the kingdom open at the mo ment when foreign corn is needed, and supplies of flour are poured in upon us till they are needed no more. That on these grounds this meeting is of opinion that it would be highly inexpedient to propose to Parliament to make any alteration in the existing Corn-laws." Mr. Gibb, while reading the amendment, was frequently interrupted by cheers, laughter, and loud expressions of disapprobation. The Mayor bad more than once to get up and call the meet ing to order, to enable Mr. Gibb to proceed. Mr. C. T. DUNLETIE said that he stood up on behalf of the- labouring classes, fur the Corn-laws had the effect of making the price of labour in this country higher, and the ob ject now sought to be - attained was, therefore, the lowering the rate of wages —('` No, no"' " Hear, bear," and some con fusion.) Mr. Dunlevie proceeded to remark upon the supe rior amount of the agricultural over the manufacturing produce of the country. The whole amount of the agricultural pro duce, animate and inanimate, amounted to 246,000,000/. sterling, while that of the manufacturing interest was 1 - 48,000,0001. sterling. The whole amount of the exports Qf the country, in the year ending 1837, as he could prove from Parliamentary documents, was only 14,000,0001. The num ber of acres of land in cultivation amounted to 46,000,000; the number capable of being brought - into cultivation to 15,000,000 ; and the number of unprofitable to 16,000,000, making together 77,000,000. He stood there as the friend of the poor—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear")--and be asked any man if he could not understand that, if they encouraged the importation of corn to such an extent, they would ultimately become dependent altogether upon foreign countries for their supply of food, the ope ration of which, in case of a war, would be such ae ought to arouse their apprehensions; w hile another effect of such an influx of corn would immediately be bls, e_ c ade y te e r s i . T. ) Theationof the price of labour.—(r , No, no," and home market consisted of purchasers who were our friends ; they were, in fact, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh; the sinews by which the State was to be defended, and its prospe rity secured. He wished, for the reasons which he had stated, that gentlemen would be cautious before they gave their votes. There were 15,000,0 00 of acres of land capable of being brought into cultivation, and he put it to the meeting whether it would not be better to cultivate that than to bring in foreign corn, by doing which our labourers would not at all be bene fited ? He had therefore great pleasure, on the part of the poor men, whose wages he would rather see raised upon the spot than subjected to a reduction, in seconding the amend ment which had been just proposed. Mr. GEORGE Hove said he did not rise to make any re marks upon the amendment, because he thought that unne cessary ; but merely to set Mr. Gibb right as regarded one article of manufacture—that in which he (Mr. Holt) dealt. In regard to cotton, so far from there being six times as much consumed as exported, the fact was exactly the reverse.— ( Hear. hear.) Tea estimate of Mr. Huskisson wee tba• e' 'ton g- ,• mitt • etuied to the extent of 34,000,0001 or 3 5.000,i00/., of which amount 21,000,0001. or 22,000,0001. were exported, and the remainder consumed at home.
