A Court of Common Council was held in the Guild hall yesterday, for the purpose, among other business, of considering the propriety of petitioning her Majesty to take all such means as she may constitutionally possess for throwing open the ports of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the free importation of food. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor took the chair at two o'clock. The minutes of the last Court having been read and confirmed, and some business of an unimportant charac ter gone through, The LORD MAYOR briefly explained why he had not called the Court before the hour of two. The requisition addressed to his Lordship was then read. Mr. D. WIRE then said that he rose on the present oecesion with some anxiety, not because of any doubt as to the proper course to be pursued, but simply because of his inability to do justice to so great and so important a subject. He knew that, in the course of the debate, he would befollo wed by those whose talents and whose know. ledge of the subject would entitle their opinion to great weight, and he would therefore content himself %ith briefly making one or two observations in support of the object stated in the requisition. He held in his hand four dis tinct propositions, and he apprehended that to neither of them would any considerable opposition be of fered. The first proposition was that this na tion was a great, a powerful, and a wealthy na tion ; but that, great, powerful, and wealthy N EWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, EDIN- as it was. a very great proportion of her Majesty's sub- BURGH, and DIRECT GLASGOW JUNCTION RAIL WAY, with a Branch by the North Tyne to Hexham. jects in Ireland, and a great proportion of her subjects Capital, 1,500,0001., in 75,000 Shares of 201. each. in England, in Scotland, and in Wales, had long been Deposit, 2/. 2s. per Share. reduced to teed upon potatoes.

He would not, on the present occasion, take up their time in exposing such a fal lacy. It had been so repeatedly knocked down and depressed, that now it had rot the least basis to stand upon.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers had been completely gulled with this barefaced fallacy by their pretended friends, and so lost sight of their true inte rests and that dependence which they should place in their own resources. Comparing this country with another European country, he found that the latter was more heavily taxed than this --a country where the labourers were better paid, whose climate was not so good, where general advantages were much inferior, and and yet one that managed to export a large amount of agricultural produce to foreign countries.—(Cheers.) The country to which he referred was Holland. In looking at the statistical account of the British empire published by an eminent writer and first-rate authority, Mr.lll`Culloch, he found acompiete answer to Sir Henry Halford, at a late agricultural meetieg, who declared that the farmers were not able to do without protection ; that they could not enter upon that competition with the rest of the world which the manufacturers of England at present had to do. In that statistical account he found the following facts in relation to this country and Holland, to which he had referred:--in England the quantity of cultivated land was 48,700,000 acres ; in Holland it was calcu lated at 5,500.000. The population of England was upwards of 26 millions ; that of Holland was 2,900.000. The proportion of population to each square mile was England, 250 persons ; Holland, 240 persons ; show ing that in this respect the countries were nearly equal. The climate of England was much superior to that of Holland. No country could compare with this in the luxuriance of its verdure, or in the general mild- PRICE 5D._ district in Wales, in which he had a farm, the po tato crop on it was deteriorated to the extent of three fourth-, and yet he was no worse off than his neigh bours. They used a great amount of oatmeal in that district, principally got from Ireland, and this article, which a short time ago was 18s. a sack, was now 30s. — (Hear, hear.) He thought something ought to be done, and hence he cordially supported the original re • solutions. Mr. NORRIS objected to the amendment proposed. It was a high and honourable privilege they possessed to approach her Majesty as memorialists ; and there were only two courses open to them then—namely, to avail themselves of this privilege, or to adopt the amendment, and petition the Legislature on this important subject. He objected to the amendment, as it involved a proceed ing which was not in agreement with the usages and p( culiar privileges of that Court. Nor did be thiek it the proper course under existing circumstances. The case of Holland had been referred to in a previous stage of the debate, and what, he would ask, was the reason of the prosperity of that country? Because they were free-traders in corn, as well as in all other articles of commi rce. A permanent scarcity of food had been the effects of the corn-laws ever since their adoption ; and with the increase of the population going forward, it be came a matter of necessity rot. them to do something to provide food for the people. Mr. WIRE said he should only occupy the time of the Court for a very few minutes. He wished to make but one or two observations on the speech made by his Hon. Friend beside him (Mr. Lawrence, we believe). His Hon. Friend first apologised for his desertion of his Former opinions, and any gentleman had a perfect right to do so either in private or in public.—(Laughter.) He (Mr. \\'ire) was exceedingly glad to find that in this case the change in his friend's opinions had been for the better, for as before they had been for a fixed duty upon corn, they were now for its total abolition.—(Laughter.) His Hon. Friend was following the example set him not' long ago by an illustrious individual, and he was glad to find that that example was contagious, for it even took Broad-street in its march, and had reached the heart and head of its worthy representative, Mr. Deputy Corney, who had seconded the motion for the abolition of the corn-laws.—(Continued laughter.) It was his (Mr. Wire's) intention very shortly to direct his Hon. Friend's attention to one or two fallacies in his speech, which, by the by, was not only for the corn-laws, but against and beyond the corn laws.—(Laughter.) His Hon. Friend had stated that his first proposition was fallacious, as this was not a question of corn, but of com merce. Did the Hon. Member suppose that he could im pose this argument for a moment ? did he mean to say that a question of food was not a question of wages? —( dear, hear.) Did it make no difference to the work man, if by the abolition of these cruel laws he coull get a greater quantity of food for a lesser price than at present?—(Hear, hear.) It was not a question of wages alone—it was a question of food also.—(Cheers.) But • the Hon. Member had said that they must show how better food could be had even were the corn-laws abo lished. Why thus:—lf the corn-laws were abolished—if all restrictions on the importation of food were done away with, then Holland, Poland, Egypt, and America would pour their grain into Britain, and take her manu factures in exchange. Did the Hon. Member not hear the anecdote told of Mehemet Ali, the present Pacha of Egypt ? When the imperfect condition of his muskets was referred to, he said, " True, I know that English muskets are better, but I have no money to purchase them. If England should take my corn, then I shall be enabled to take her muskets in exchange."—(Great cheering.) And thus would both of these countries be benefited. But another extraordinary argument of the Hon. Gentleman's R as, that if food was cheap, the people woold be idle. It was all very well to speak of the delights of labour ; but what man would work in a heated atmosphere for twelve hours, if ten hours would be sufficient for his wants? Why any man would be mad who should do otherwise. His Hon. Friend had told them not to forget that he was an advocate for a smaller fixed duty, and yet his friend had moved the total repeal of those laws. Why, protection resembled a nurse who denied her child the free air of Heaven ; the poor thing, deprived of the necessary free dom, grew warped and stunted ; and so it was with pro tected commerce.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman admitted that a large proportion of the Irish lived upon potatoes, but he denied that the same thing held good in England, Scotland, and Wales. He could assure the Hon. Gentleman that if he had gone through the houses of the poor in that metropolis, he would have found that the majority of the poorer classes lived upon potatoes. --(Hear, hear.) He would not detain them longer, but he trusted that the original proposition would be carried. The RECORDER then proceeded to read the original resolution again. Mr. LAWRENCE wished to make some observations on the amendment. The RECORDER said that the debate was closed, and the amendment was then before the Court, and that he could n +t speak upon it. Mr. LAWRENCE said that it was only the day before yesterday that the Lord Mayor bad ruled that he could speak upon the amendment, under similar circumstances. The LORD MAYOR said that the amendment had been spoken upon, and could not be debated again. The RECORDER said that the original question having been di-cussed, and the amendment having been de bated on, the Lord Mayor was of opinion that at that stage of the proceedings no further observations could be listened to. The amendment was then put, and negatived. Mr. GADSDEN then said that the petition called on the Queen to exercise her constitutional prerogative, and cause such measures to be taken as would meet the exi gencies of the people. A member rose to order. Mr. GADSDEN said that be was simply going to move, as an amendment, " That this Court is of opinion, that it is inexpedient at this moment to interfere, either by petition or otherwise, in this important question, in asmuch as it believes that the Ministry has been dissolved, and that it would be proper in the present state of affairs not to add to her Majesty's embarrassment, and that, there fore, the further discussion of the subject should be post poned." He proposed this amendment, as he believed that Lord John Russell had it all his own way, and it would not be too much to ask him to wait until Parlia ment assembled.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") The amendment was then put, and negatived by a large maj irity. A Member then handed up another amendment, and the Recorder was proceeding to read it, when Another Member asked if any amendment could be read by the Recorder until it had been properly proposed and seconded. Sir C. MARSHALL seconded the resolution. The RECORDER then read it aloud. He moved " That the Parliament of the United Kingdom should proceed to establish a fixed and moderate duty." The amendment, which excited great merriment in the Court, was, after some little confusion and desultory conversation, withdrawn. The original resolutions were then put and carried by an all but unanimous vote. Mr. WIRE then moved " That a loyal and dutiful address and petition be presented to her Majesty, founded on the resolutions jnst agreed to, and praying that her Majesty will use all the means in her power to effect the opening of the ports for the free importation of food." The motion being seconded, Mr. LAWRENCE moved as an amendment, to the effect that it be mentioned in the address, " That on the opening of Parliament, her Majesty be requested to re commend a fixed duty on corn of ss. per quarter." Mr. PRIOR seconded the amendment, as one, which, if adopted by the Court, would reflect great credit on it. Mr. R. TAYLOR objected to their being called on to support a principle which all parties in the state had now repudiated. The amendment on being put was negatived by an immense majority, only two voting for it. The original motion was then put and carried, with the same number of dissentients. Mr. WIRE then moved a resolution " That the address to her Majesty be presented in the usual form," which was also agreed to. A deputation of five members was then appointed to prepare the address, and immediately after they retired to draw it up. Upon their return, after an absence of ten minutes, strangers were ordered to withdraw. During our ab sence, we understand the address was read and agreed to, and the Court adjourned at a quarter past five o'clock. ness of its climate ; whereas, the other country had a severe winter. The rivers and canals were frozen over the greater part of that season, and even the Zuyder Zee was oftentimes under ice. Now, _midi all these disadvantages,,Hollaud occupied the position he had already shown, and yet the farmers of this country were afraid of the removal of prohibition. There was yet another fact in favour of England in this comparison. In England the land-tax was only 1.200,000 L, .while the general taxation of the country was 51,700,0001. per annum. This land-tax was only 2} per cent. on the whole tax of the country, while the land in Holland paid 25 per cent; and while the labourers' wages in England were on the average is. 6d. per day, in Hol land they were ls. Bd. These were important facts on the question underconsideration. A more powerful set of men than our aristocracy does not exist in Europe or the world. They were men who were looked to in consequence of their high station, and yet he found them wealthy, great, and powerful as they were, contending with the poor artisan for a portion of his scanty meal. He believed that Sir Robert Peel was favourable to a repeal of the corn-laws, and would have given them the benefit of the power he had possessed—for they might have heard that he had resigned it ; but then there was another power behind him, which crippled him even in the great position he held. He alluded to the power of voting by proxy, by which could be placed in the hands of one man the power of having a majority on any question he chose, and he maintained that such a power ought not to be allowed. He every day passed the Royal Exchange and saw the splendid monument erected to the noble Duke. He saw in its features the stern appearance of the warrior —the stern appearance of the chief who had led our armies to victory—(Hear, hear)—but he could not help thinking that the artist had exe cuted his task too faithfully, and that he had copied from the statesman the same stern inflexibility that ought to belong only to the warrior. If men would place themselves in false positions they must ex pect to subject themselves to inconvenience, and have their conduct open to all sorts of anim adversion. He felt that he had said enough, and would conclude by seconding the resolution proposed by Mr. Wire. The RECORDER then read the resolution, and had just called for a show of hands, when Mr. LAWRENCE rose and said that he wished to say a few words. They were aware that men were often led by circumstances into errors in both thinking and acting, and it was easy to put forth statements, but very difficult to bring forward facts to support them. He was one who thought an alteration in the corn-laws was requi site; but he did not quite agree in the view taken by his friend.—(Hear.) He agreed with him to a cer tain extent in the statement that the greater portion of the population of Ireland feed on potatoes, but he would ask him the question, whether, if they did not feed them on potatoes, they could give them anything better ? They were too poor to afford food of a better quality. Ireland was a more important country than England with regard to corn, as more corn was exported out of her to other countries than from England, while they fed on potatoes. But would his friend show that they were able to get better food while their wages were as low as they were at present ? He was much struck by the remark of an Irishman, at Coleraine, who said that potatoes were eightpence per stone there, but were only fourpence per stone at Tipperary. and said also that they were not half so well off there, although wages were the same. They might depend on it that whenever food was cheap the people got idle and unable to work.—(This remark was followed by uproar.) The resolution would not answer the case that had been put, that because the Irish had no potatoes, that, there fore, there should be a repeal of the corn-laws. The population of England was not fed on pota toes, and as a proof of that he would refer to what took place in the metropolis and the great manufacturing towns. The people of England, he be lieved, were better fed than the people of any nation in Europe. The question of disease in potatoes had nothing to do with the corn-laws. That they ought to be repealed was his opinion, but he believed the effect of that would be to lower the price of wages.— (Cries of " No.") He asserted that such would be the case. It might be said that corn was an exception to all other matters connected with commerce; he did not seelthe effect of that argument; be thought it would be, in some measure, unwise to do away with the import duties altogether. He thought, if the corn-laws were re pealed, a new law should be introduced, fixing a duty of ss. The remedy of opening the ports could only stave off the evil.—(Hear, hear.) He asserted again that there should be a ss. duty on corn.—(Laughter.) He only asked for fair play in the discussion. His friend, the mover of the resolution, had said, that if the Court agreed with him, which be had no doubt it would, he should move another motion; he had no doubt it would so. He did not think the resolution met the case fairly, and he thought his friend in bringing it forward had been most deficient in his argument he had never known him more so in his life. The first proposition held that this country was great, powerful, and wealthy, but that a large proportion of the inhabitants were reduced to a potato diet. He denied the fact.—(Hear, hear.) He challenged his friend Mr. Wire to the proof.—(Hear, hear.) If he had brought such proof, he (Mr. Lawrence) would at once submit, but in the absence of all proof he would not submit to the dogma of his friend Mr. Wire.— ((bar, hear.) The fact that the Irish were fed upon potatoes had nothing to do with the corn-laws whatever. It had to do with wages and nothing more.—(Hear, hear.) And he trusted that the railways now in progress in Ireland would remedy, in part, the evil. He considered that evil was in part caused by absentee landlords. But what was the fact? Why, the people of this country consumed more animal food and wheaten bread than any other people in the world. (Hear, hear.) It was stated that there was a deal of suffering in con sequence of this national economy. He did not know what the term meant. Was the national practice meant by the phrase ? But be found, also, that this suffering was attributed . to erroneous legislation, in excluding the importation of food, restricting the extension of commerce, and shutting out from the people the good ness of God. He denied this position. He denied the fact.—(Shouts of laughter.) Instead of restricting commerce by arbitrary laws, Great Britain bas been liberal above all the countries of the earth in her mer cantile usages. He believed that as regarded the threatened famine, more was said on the subject than was true. He understood that they were dealing with this question in a commercial view, but he could not see what commerce had to do with the failure of the potato crop. It would be too idle to reply to what bad been said in s upport of their views by those who maintained the en tire abolition of all restrictive duty. Why, every man stood aghast to know how this could be effected with a due regard to meeting the exigencies of the state. Was not clothing as much a necessary as food?—(No, no.) Now he conceived that those who differed from him would be very glad to resign one half of their food for decent clothing. The question for them to consider was, whether, under the existing state of thing., they could affect the objects some gentlemen seemed so anxious to carry out? If they abolished all those protection laws as they proposed to do, they would act unjustly, and I destroy those interests that had grown up under them, and which, he maintained, deserved to be supported. He would conclude by proposing this amendment, " That , 1 a petition be presented to her Majesty,:praying that the i corn-laws should be abolished." Mr. PRENDERGAST considered it would be better not to press the amendment. The amendment being seconded, was read. The RECORDER, after a short discussion upon a point of order, decided that the amendment proposed by Mr. Lawrence was in order, Mr. CORNET thought they had better withhold their clamour on this subject, and leave it in better hands. Mr. STEVENS thought that the present was the proper time for the Court to adopt the motion that had been brought forward. The deficiency of food in the country called upon the Court to do so. He trusted that the Court would agree to a memorial to her Majesty, pray ing her to take into her consideration the situation of the country, and support those measures that would allow free access to food into this country before famine LOO pltsee,--(11( ar, hear.) He had supported a m otion for the repeal of the corn-laws for years, and he would support it now.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. W. JONES had always been an advocate for a fixed duty, instead of the slidieg-sca.le.—(flear, hear.) He believed that the corn-laws were a subject on which every man might fairly differ. He knew 40mething of the failure of the potato crop. In a OPENING OF THE PORTS. ST. ➢iARTIN'S IN-TEIE-YIELDS' VESTRY MEETING. drawn, co, He quoted similar to once with, chided by We, in vestry that noth. with the fc.._ ,ir chase of the articles - Oil:Which depend the existence of a large portion of the community. That the removal of all restrictions on the article of food is expedient to the general prosperity and peace of the country, is a measure dictated by all sound principles, confirmed by -a long and fatal experience of the effect of an opposite course ; that it is demanded by the wants and pressing necessities of the labouring classes ; that it is sanctioned by the judgment of the edu cated part of the community ; that the present condition of the country renders it a measure of immediate neces sity, the delay of which must inflict much hardship on the working classes, and seriously interfere with all in dustrious pursuits by which the suffering attendant on a bad harvest might be obviated." This was seconded by Mr. MURRAY. Mr. STAUNTON said he thought that the mover of such a resolution, so worded, was bound to give them some data on which the assertions in it are grounded be fore they could be expected to pass it. The resolution, he thought, was too strong. The Ministers were respon sible for the condition of the people. that they do not w ant food—as much responsible for this as that there should be pounds, shillings, and pence in the Each( r; and were the state of the country such as the resolution represents it they would have done some. thing before this, He remembered a time when the use of food in any unnecessary way was prohibited; now at the present moment they were in the habit of using flour in many ways not necessary for their support, in puddings and pies for example, and would not the Government, did it consider that necessary, prohibit the use of it in that way? He thought the failure of the wheat crop had been unnecessarily overstated. He would take the Times Commissioner in Ireland for his authority, a gentleman whose ability and opportunity would weigh with them; and he begged to say that in his reports he could find no such :statement of failure borne out. As for the potatoes, be would just remind them that Mr. Cobbett, a great man on many paints, had deprecated the introduction of that fruit into England. The reso lution, he said, might suit some who were moving with the Anti-Corn-law League. The abolition of these laws would work for the immense advantage of the chief sup porters of the League, who happened to be in the corn market, and to have vast quantities on hand. These men had endeavoured to coerce the Ministers, but he did not think it was a subject on which Ministers ought to be forced. He could not, therefore, agree with the resolution just moved. Mr. HATCHARD said the condition of the country had weighed with him in adopting the conrse he took. The failure in the potato crop could not be questioned, nor could that of the wheat crop. Both together must severely affect the poor, so that the country requires the measure by necessity. Mr. Hatchard then spoke of having heard of incendiary fires in Bedfordshire, and that a gentleman he had seen very lately was afraid to leave home on account of them, and said that till that time he had been always averse to a repeal of the corn-laws. The Anti-Corn law League appeared to him to be made up of persons, merchants and manufacturers, whose interests were to be served by the object which the League proposed to attain. There might be some who had the same opinions, who might therefore not be inclined to adopt the original resolution ; he therefore moved as an amendment : " That the removal of all restrictions on the articles of food is expedient to the general prosperity and peace of the country ; it is a measure dictated by all sound prin ciples, confirmed by a long and fatal experience of the effects of an opposite course ; and that it is demanded by the wants and pressing necessities of the labouring classes." Mr. R. HALL seconded the amendment. Mr. STAUNTON expressed his disapprobation of this also. Mr. POUNCEY said he did not think there was a per son there who was prepared to go so far.—(This ,was denied by several at once.) In continuation, he said they must not be misled by the state of the markets. In the potato market, for example, many were pressed to go in with their potatoes, and to sell at what price they could get, lest in a short time, out of all their stored potatoes, they might not have any fit to be brought. It had been said that the tone of the resolution had been some thing like coercion of the Ministers ; in a free country he did not expect to hear of that, much less that the free expression of opinion should be named coercion. B u t for that they would obtain nothing ; bat for that Minis ters would dare to continue the corn-laws to the mani fest injury of the country. At this time it behoved them not to stand back ; if they would use their power with mast effect, now was the opportunity. When the column is tottering, a touch will overbalance it. Be it that the corn-laws might be removed but temporarily, they had received the authority of Sir Robert Peel, within the last two years, that once off they could never be put on again. These laws once destroyed, the monopolists who profited by them, having lost their source of gain would join for the destruction of all monopoly whatever. Mr. PAINTON just begged to state for their informa tion, that having been in the potatomarket this morning, he had seen a large cargo of York potatoes, and that the owner of them, after endeavouring to find a sound potatoe, could only get three. The price of them in the York market is at present V., and it would very goon rise to 164 per ton, Mr. WEST, in order to lay before the meeting a few of those data on which the resolution rested, quoted very largely from an article which appeared some it , time ago in the Liverpool Times. He then quoted from a printed circular a statement of the condition of the crops in the various foreign countries. Russia has a sufficiency, but it is very doubtful if there be anything to spare. Poland, an insufficient crop. In Pomerania the crops were very moderate. The Duchy of Posen but middling. In Hungary very bad, and in Bohemia and Austria very defective. Comparing the prices paid at present with those paid last year, the country pays 400,0001. a week, and 20,000,000/. annually more for wheat than it paid last year. Those who opposed the repeal of the corn-laws, he said, were not the ancient aristocracy, but the modern aristocracy, who gaznblo away their income, and think the people should pay for their imprudence. He remembered the time well when these laws were imposed, when a mob crowded down the Strand, with the cry of " bread or blood;' assailed the bakers' shops as they passed, brought out the loaves, and having fixed them on poles paraded them down to the Parliament House. But how were they received there? By the bayonets, through which the Members had to go, in order to pass these laws. Several gentlemen here pressed their amendments to the original resolution on the attention of the meeting ; but after not a little debate on order, the amendment , proposed by Mr. Hatcherd was put to the meeting, and. ' carried against the original resolution almost unani mously. Mr. GoVER rose to move a resolution, deploring the state of the country, advising the abolition of taxes on food, but, on the consideration that the country would •be left to the evils of machinery, deprecating the repeal of the corn-laws. This speaker on getting up, told the (meeting that he would not be put down but by violence. -After his lucubrations on machinery, " a pair of hand-power," the corn-laws, and the injury which the working man would sustain from the extension of commerce, he sat down, and was fol _ _ lowed by Mr. Gover, jun., who was equally tenacious of his liberty and privilege to address the meeting, however unwilling they might be to hear him. After many in terruptions, and much confusion, the gentleman sat down, and the meeting, having appointed some of the requisitionists to draw up a memorial to her Majesty, separated. FREE TRADE MEETING AT DERBY. : A numerous, respectable, and enthusiastic meeting of free traders was held on Tuesday, in the hall of tke Mechanics' Institution, Derby, for the purpose of for warding the forty shilling qualification movement, and advancing the cause of free trade generally. Upwards of 2,000 persons were present. The chair having been taken by W. Evans, EEq., M.P. for North Derbyshire, the proceedings :commenced by reading two letters, one from Lord Duncannon, and the other from Mr. Cavendish, M.P. The writers expressed their regret at their inability to be present at the meet ing, but both expressed their good wishes for its success, and their adhesion to the principles in support of which it was held. Mr. ConDEN in an eloquent speech urged on the meet ing the paramount necessity of attending to the registration for the purcose of getting rid of the corn-laws, against which the feeling of the country was unanimous. No one had courage to give them a character, although they were passed for what was called the protection of the English people. But not only did the people not dare to praise the corn laws, but , making them a kind of political Jack Shepherd —(Laughter)—if any body lost money by the fall of sc ri p , or the decline in the value of shares, why the corn-laws were at mice blamed. Mr. Moss, the late Mayor of Derby, proposed a reso lution, pledging the meeting to forward th e qua lifi cat i on moveme nt for South Derbyshire, which, being seconded by Mr. WEBB, a tenant farmer, was carried by accla mation. Mr. STRUTT, M.P., in an e l oquen t s p eec h, move d a vote of thanks to M essrs . C o bd en an d B r i g h t , w hi c h was carried by acclamation ; and Mr. Cobden having acknowledged the com pli men t, th an ks were voted to the the Chairman, and the meeting separated. A special meeting of the parishioners and ratepayers in this parish was held yesterday morning, at ten, in the Vestry-room, in compliance with a numerously signed requisition, to take into consideration the pre sent state of the country, and to memorialise her Ma jesty to open the ports for the free importation of foreign corn forthwith. Mr. PUGH, one of the churchwardens, having been called to the chair, said he had called the meeting in consequence of the requisition which had been sent him, numerously and respectably signed. He had done so with pleasure, as he was always glad to meet the wishes and to further the views of the parishioners, and in the chair would be happy to further the object of the meeting in every way he could.

We believe, if it suits his Lordship's convenience, that the presentation will take place on Friday, and most probably in the city hall. Our great meeting for the total and immediate abolition of the corn-laws takes place on the day previous, and it would add certainly greatly to the interest of the meeting if his Lordship's engagements would allow him to attend.
