The " Ojitrbeway Indians" visiting Britain, Is a matter concerning which much has been written. Some folks are, it seems, at a loss to conceive Why they vcnt ur'd their own native county to leave. Many say 'twas to see the young Queen on her throne, And such is a likely opinion, we own ; But let us endeavour (for that will be best), To set the whole matter completely at rest. One reason, perhaps, why the foreigners came, Was to visit our wonderful houses of fame. Such a thing they would never have done, Had they not been induced by E. MOSES and SON. We have often asserted (and not in vain boast), That our fame is in many a far-distant coast; And thus the Ojiblmway Indians heard Of the warehouse by which the whole world appears stirr'd ; And hence, with a high curiosity smitten, They, doubtless, determined on visiting Britain. Then success to the Indians! lasting success And may they be tempted to alter their " dress." Our clothing is made on a much better plan, And will do them more service than their garments can. And thus will they profit by what they have done Is coming to visit E. MOSES and SON. nzairie MADE. £ s. d.

D. Dillon, Esq., of Wall house. The LORD PROVOST, in rising to propose the first toast, was loudly cheered. lie said—Ladies and Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in taking the chair on this occasion. The question of free-trade has long occupied the attention of the citizens of Glasgow, many of whom, towards the close of the last cen- tury, zealously maintained the sound principles which the celebrated Adam Smith so ably and admirably propounded and practically illustrated, whilst he filled one of the chairs in our University.—(Cheers. ) lam happy to find that so many of ,our intelligent merchants and manufacturers of the present time are becoming every day more and more alive to the im portant principles involved in this all-engrossing subject—the abolition of all monopolies ; and I assure you that 1 feel gra tified, when an opportunity occurs, that I can, in the exercise of my duty as chief magistrate, give countenance and support to any measure that will tend to ameliorate the condition of the working classes, or improve the commercial and ma nufacturing interests of this great and flourishing city, the mercantile metropolis of Scotland.—(Great cheering.) We have met here to-night to express our abL.orrence of those laws which, by enhancing the price of bread, cut deeply into the comforts of this great community, as well as of the coun try generally. They also tend, by restricting our intercourse with foreign nations, to limit the demand for our manufactures, diminishing the employment of the working population, and the necessary consequences follow—the reduc t i on o f t h e wages of our operatives and artisans.—( Hear.) lam well aware there are many gentlemen whom I have the pleasure of seeing around me, who will in the course of the evening explain and enter upon the details, and picture to you, in more glowing terms than I can, the misery those unjust laws inflict on the vast majority of our population. To them I leave the task; and I now request you will fervently join in doing special honour to ono whose father's principles, as well as her own education and feelings leave us no room to doubt that in her we have a friend to every measure that can promote the social happiness, comfort, and prosperity of the people —" lho Queen."—( Great cheering.) His LORDSHIP then proposed successively_" His Royal Highness Prince Albert," and " The Prince of Wales and Royal Family," which were drunk with applause. The LORD PROVOST then called on the Hon. Fox 111aule for the next toast. Mr. FOttiiAULE, who was loudly and enthusiastically ap plauded, and "one cheer more," was given for the Member for Perth, said—Ladies and Gentlemen in rising to address you on thi s occas i on, I feel that to-night I have been placed in a position which there are many here present vouch more worthy to occupy than myself. Indeed I should have been disposed rather to follow those who have already led the way in bringing the great principles of free trade before the public, than to be put forward as the first to introduce that subject to you this evening. But it. has been the pleasure of the Com mittee to arrange it so, and I shall, therefore, endeavour, in as few words as I can, to give the toast which th e y h ave a ll o tt e d t o my share. It embraces the great and wide subject of " Free Trade"—( Cheering)_a toast into all the ramifications of which I will not enter in detail—for, were I to do so, in the first place I should weary your patience, and in the next place, I should do'that of which I have sometimes had occasion to com plain in following the toasts of other speakers--I should trench upon my neighbour's ground. 1 shall endeavour to avoid that if possible, and 1 shall endeavour to speak to those paramount principles which, if they exist any where, I should imagine must and will exist in that city in which Adam Smith taught and wrote—( Hear, hear ) —in that city which boasts itself not only the commercial and manufacturing metropolis of Scotland, but is second scarcely to any city in the empire.—( Applause.) The principles of free trade, Gentlemen, have begun to force themselves so con vincingly, day after day, upon the minds of the inhabitants of this country, that it scarcely requires —indeed it would be an insult to your understanding—that I should go back into their origin, or trace them to their ultimate objects. I consider that the proper business of such a meeting as this is to consult toge ther, and to listen to practical suggestions as to how, in the speediest and most effective, and, at the same time, in the safest manner, we can carry these principles into effect ha the Government and Legislature of our country.—(Loud cheers.) I think you will admit that we have had of late years pretty clear and plain proof that the old systems of special protection are not these upon which—even though you might believe and countenance them for the moment—the vast interests of such a country as this can permanently stand.—( Hear, hear, and ap plause.) Like a plant, which may be reared or forced in a hot-bed or hot-house, monopoly may be of benefit for the moment; but to stand all the tear and wear of a changeful cimate—to be thoroughly fixed and permanently rooted in our soil, it is not destined, and you may rely upon it, that monopoly is not the plant to flourish in this country ; nor is our soil likely to be burdened with it much longer.—( Cries of " Hear.") We are free men, and why should we not have free trade ?—( Applause.) I think it stands to reason that that system is best, and promotes to the greatest extent the well being of all, which shall give to us the easiest enjoyment of that which the rest of the world produces, and which shall con vey to the rest of the world the produce of our own industry in return. Now, time are the principles upon which I for one wish to see legislation; and I wish to see them embraced not in this point only, but in all. In fact, I wish to see no taxation in this country which is not solely for the purpose of maintain ing our national credit, and answering our national engage ments—(Hear, hear)—and I would further wish to see that taxation so levied that its pressure might be equal on all classes, and that no class or section should have exemption at the ex pense of another. There are various subjects to which the principles of free trade hare been more peculiarly directed ; but as one deeply interested in the prosperity of agriculture, I am not sorry to have the opportunity before this company, in this great city, to bear my public testimony to that which has been asserted by others—that I believe free trade in agriculture, or, in other words, the repeal of the corn-laws, which give a mono poly to the owners or holders of land, should be, for the general good of the country, conceded—that these laws should be imme diately repealed.--( Loud applause ) I have not come to this opinion suddenly, nor have I arrived at it from any personal motive or purpose ; but the more I have considered the sub ject, the more I have been convinced, not only that the land owner or landholder will not be losers by the repeal of the corn-laws, for that is a narrow view of the question, but they will he so far gainers that, without any loss to themselves, the repeal of these laws will confer an immense boon on the rest of the community.—( Hear.) Now, in reference to the article corn, I would like to say one or two worts on that subject to any farmers who may be here present, and I would wish to express my conviction, from the little experience I have had in communication with agriculturists, and especially with the tenantry of this country, that I believe there is a growing opinion amongst the tenantry, that the sooner the corn-law is settled the better, and that they will not consider any settle ment satisfactory which does not involve a total repeal of these laws.—( Applause.) This I believe to be a growing feeling among the agricultural population ; and our agricultural pepu lation, you will bear-in mind, and the gentlemen from England wig bear in mit - id, depend mostly upon leases and u;on fixed engagements with their landlord. But to what do I trace this change and growth of opinion ? I trace it to the efforts of a body' of which, though I am not a member myself, yet. I can not have looked unebservantly upon what they have been doing during the last twelve months. It was not my inten tion to hale entered into any details regarding the Anti- Corn-law kague; yet when I sec a body of wen 111 much entitled to hold their opinions, and to press them on the public as I or any other class of the community are entitled to I old opinions—when I see a body composed of such gentlemen as these on my right and left, to whom have been attributed ma licious motives, and who have been falsely attacked and chal lenged for using the most atrocieua of language, and the most horrible of doctrines—when I see this I must take the liberty of stating my opinion of the high merits of that body, and of the important services whi c h the Anti-Cern-law League have ren dered during the last twelve months.—( Hear, hear. 1 I have often remarked quietly to various members of that body, that in the first commencement of their career, they, as well as their opponents, dealt too much in bandying hard words with each other. I told them th a t thi s was not only a waste of their time, but a highly impolitic proceeding into the bargain ; but during the last twelve months we have seen that body scattering arguments throughout the length and breadth of the land__ reams of. reason flowing from their press, and working by that machinery, and fighting with those weapons which are most worthy of reasoning men, and moat likely to convince reason ing beings.— (Loud applause.) here may, no doubt, have been here and there, in a large body such as this, sense men whose vivid imagination and fiery temperament may have occasionally run away with them; but we must judge a body like this by its written feelings and opinion', not from the sudden speeches of some of its members. And when we look upon the endeavours of the Anti •Corn-law League to inform the public upon all the bearings of the great question of free trade, I must admit I have seldom seen-an association —and I do not in general approve of such associations for the purpose of urging on legislation—l have never known one which had such beneficial objects in view, or urged them with such legitimate and laudable weapons. I have thought it right to say this much, and to express publicly my ep . nion in order to show that though I do not belong to them, 1 am so far from discouraging their efforts, that I regard them as the means of vast good. and it is our duty therefore to bear up against those who would foully and unjustly calumniate them.--( Hoar. ) Having said this much in regard to this great and growing body in the country, permit me to go on to state that I believe that cause they have been advocating is coming by slow and sure degrees to a crisis.--( Hear, hear.) When I look into England—when I regard the counties of England, and observe the different tone of language which is now held rt agricul tural meetings, I cannot he p being struck with a strong feel ing that the landlords and farmers of England. though they won't confess it themselves, are making up their minds for what they see is inevitably approaching.—(" Hear, hear," and applause.) Why, we begin to hear in the counties of Eng land remarks on she necessity of leases, and suggestions as to the utility of draining —we begin to have the practice of the Lothians quoted in Devonshire and Dorsetshiro—and we find that agricultural associations are no longer mere bodies met for the purpose of dining together, and hearing or making speeches in favour of monopoly; but they have ant themselves earnestly to do business in their own line, by en deavouring to point out to the tenantry of the country how they may make the land grow more, mad how, by increased production, they may meet the defalcation, should there be a defalcation, produced by a repeal of the corn-laws.—( Hear.) It has been generally imagined that the mast prosperous tenant was the man who held his farm at the lowest amount of rent; but let me tell you, and in doing so I have the authority of eminent agriculturists, that a rent inadequately low is nothing more nor less than a reward for indolence. The man whose rent is so low that, with the merest daily labour, he can extract from the ground that which is necessary for his ordinary scents, will leave his land in t .e same state that he got it.--( Hear, hear.) But the man who is spurred on by a long rent, or a large family, will exert every nerve to make the ground pro duce to the uttermost; and that man of all others is he who will not fear any repeal of the corn-laws, but will rather court the settlement of a question which distracts his attention, and which, when settled, will leave him at liberty to ap ply his energies in a manner from which he will be be sure to derive a fair return. Such seniiments, lam con vinced, will in due time prevail all over England ; but I be lieve we shall not succeed in this great question till we can se cure leases to improving tenants. But some of the English landlords complain that they cannot do without the corn-laws because their estates are burdened with mortgages. These men, then, may not be able to afford the money to improve their own estates ; but, if they give leases, enterprising tenants will be found to improve these lands and lay out the money. And shall the indisposition of the proprietors to lay out this money, which may more properly be stated as an indisposition to part with their hold over the consciences of their tenantry— shall this indirposition interfere between the public and their obtaining this great been ? A boon it is not—it is their right. It is the right of the people of this country to have food at the lowest possible price; and when this can be had without in jury to any class, I say the longer we are in obtainiag this right from the Government, the more blame we should take to ourselves that the question is so long unsettled. But that we shall obtain it in a few years I am convinced—we shall secure it, either from the rinciples of a Liberal Govern ment, or the fears of a Tory Government—we shall either have it in the same spirit in which the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts or Municipal Reform were given, or we shall obtain it in the same way as Catholic Emancipation was secured in 1829.—( Hear, hear.) But it is a most wretched state for the country to be in in the mean time; and it is worse to have men in power who will nibble at reforms without making them while there is time. There must be no nibbling in the case of free trade. " Nibbling," as Lord John Russell said to Sir Robert Peel, "that unsettles everything and settles nothing." And, therefore, the safest, and wisest, and best course for all parties is, to let us have done with all those laws which give any one class a superiority over another —which gives a boon and protection to which they have no title in justice; for I maintain that no men or class is entitled to protection in the shape of monopoly on any pretence whatever. —( Applause.) It is not m y i n t en ti on to d etain you longer from the business of the evening. I have merely made these remarks as leading to the practical development of the subject before us, and I conclude by inviting you to join me, in drink ing the toast of " Free Trade," in condemning all opposite principles of legislation, and in pressing for a speedy abolition of those monopolies which are a burden to the country and a bane to the people.—( The toast was given with the most en thusiastic plaudits, after which the Hon. Gentleman resumed his seat.) The LORD PROVOST, after adverting to the fact that the Legislature had turned a deaf ear to reasonable remonstrance. and thereby given the League enormous power, requested the meeting cordially te join him in the" Health of the gentlemen composing the deputation from the League."—(Cheering. ) Mr. CORDEY acknowledged the toast, and was received with every demonstration of the most enthusiastic welcome.—( The cheering continued loud and long, and the Hon. Gentleman, at the outset of his speech, was more than once interrupted by a repetition of the plaudits). He said—Nly Lord Provost, Ladies, and Gentlemen, it gives me great happiness to have the honour of appearing before such an audience as this, especially when I have fresh upon my recollection the proceedings which took place twelve months ago, and the gratifying and flattering circumstances which then attended my visit here. Since we last had the opportunity of meeting, important circumstances, not a few, have marked the progress of our movement ; and if we were to be asked at what time free-trade opinions were making the most rapid progress, I would say that now they are progressing more than at any former period. While we had ten converts yesterday, we have 100—nay, 1,000--to-day ; not only converts, but active missionaries in the cause. And it:is impossible for any one to suppose that our cause, marked by the circumstances which have attended the movement, can ever go back. Our excellent Lord Provost has alluded to the labours of individuals in chnnexion with this movement.; but I would be ashamed of myself, as my friends here would also be, were we to arrogate to ourselves the prin cipal merit of the great advance which has been re cently made. There are many men whom I could name—men not publicly known—who have done as much to promote the advance of the cause, and ensure its success, and who are still labouring in their own circles, as those who have been constantly before the world, and had all the eclat of the movement. Well, then, if I were asked what is the reason of the rapid progress we have lately made, I would say, that next to the justice of our cause, and to that wise discretion that has induced the League to adhere to the one great question—l should say, that we are more indebted to the conduct of our opponents than to any other circumstance.—( Hear.) 11 I had been requested to prescribe the course of conduct which our opponents, both in Parliament and out zif Parliament should pursue, I would however, having a due regard to the interests of free trade, have prescribed that very course which they have been kind enough to adopt.—( Hear, and a laugh.) I should have recommended the exercise of tricks and chicanery in the House, and the employment of ruffianism out of it ; and if 1 could have raked up from the kennel the ready tool of any party—if I could have found men abandoned in public and pri vate life, and induced our opponents to employ them as the organs of monopoly, I should have recommended those very men whom they have taken. I should have advised them not to advance by slow degrees in the charges of a criminal nature against members of the League. I should have advised to take charges of petty larceny in the outset, and ascend through the calendar of crime to assassination itself.—( Hear, and a laugh. ) That would have been the peculiarly proper course, fur it is by some such gradations that human nature advances from little to the great depths of criminally ; and I should should have said—charge the men who have the merit of ordinary propriety and decorum in their lives—charge them with assassination at once. By so doing, I should have known, that in dealing with the people of England—the shrewd and right-hearted people of England—we should have covered our accusers with ignominy and contempt. Having said that I am obliged to our opponents for the course they have pursued, I would also say, that we are not setting up for ourselves the merit of possessing any superior amount of virtue. We do not say that we have a claim for more than a man could expect in a servant at eighteen shillings a week. We only say that we stand here presenting a favourable contrast to the champions of monopoly, by whom we have been assailed. The champions and the cause are worthy of each other. The Hon. Member then adverted to what the League had done and, what it proposed to do, and spoke at considerable length of the rapid and vast progress it had made at the meetings it had held in the agricultural dis tricts, of the benefit of the repeal of the corn-laws to the capi talists and labourers, and concluded thus :—And now I have had a toast put into my hands to which I find it neeessery to advert. My friend, Mr. )Mule, made a promise he would not trench on any other person's ground, and, like every other promise of the kind, given at a public meeting,' he broke it, by going over the whole of my ground.—( Laughter.) But as he did it so much better than I ceuld have done, and with much greater authority, I am happy that he took up the agricultural view of this question.—( Cheers. ) I shall not, Gentlemen, touch upon the ground likely to be taken up by other speakers, the moral ground of this question, which is one that cannot he dwelt upon too much.—(Cheers.) For while we consider i. as one sf pounds, shillings and pence, let us re• member that there are bearings in the free trade question far higher than these—that free trade is the most benignant of principles. As Sir Robert Peel said, it is to buy in the' cheapest, and sell in the dearest market. This may be said te be a selfish principle ; but it is in fact, just to take your pro duce that is cheap, to those countries where it is dear. -- (Cheers.) And it is our taking this produce, because it is cheap there, and bringing it to our country, because it is dear here.— ( Cheers.) If you view flee trade with this definition, you will never arrive at the opinion, that there is anything selfish in free trade ; but, on the contrary, you will find that it is the reverse—that it is feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, in the most comprehensive manner all over the world. Mr. Cobden then gave " The agricultural interests sof the country, and may all classes connected with it become satisfied that they cannot prosper while commeree and manufactures' decay."—(Drunk with loud cheering.) Mr. ALEXANDER GRAHAM proposed "The minister_s reg of religion who bare identified themselves with the cause / trade." A few year. ago, two clerical torerbeations were held en this special subject. The flret was at Manchester, and con sisted of 650 dissenting ministers of all denominations. Besides, nearly 9;.e9 other absent ministers also addressed letters to the a‘sembly, expressive of their approbation of its object.—( Hetr, hear.) The other convocation, held at Edinburgh, consisted of 200 ministers. Each lersembly closed irs sittings with a solemn address to the public, condemning all nenopolies. at. ahke offen ive to God and injurious to man. United, they form a sacred cloud of witnesses to the justice of our cause.— (Cheers.) I woul t not maliciously keep alive from oblivion the memory of that act of the General Assembly, by which they petitioned Parliament against a repeal of the corn-laws, as threatening to depreciate the value of their grain revenues ; but the fact is worthy of record, as an illustration of this one most repulsive aspect of a bad system, und• r which the ministers of religion have become vested with an interest antagopal to that of the people, and are exhibited before the world as collateral sharers in the spoils of an unjust monopoly--orie even tempting them, in the secrecy of their hearts, to contradict and revsl the weekly public prayer of their lips fur plenty in the land both to man and beast.—( hear, hear. ) The Rev. Dr. Pht:Gli, amidst loud cheering, proposed— " The progress of knowledge, a necessary guarantee for the extension and permanence of Lee institutions."—(lmmense cheering.) Alter adverting to the moral bearings of the ques tion, he said,— I think we are apt sometimes to blame Sir R. Peel too much.—( Hear, hear.) We must be just to that ,Minister; and in some points of view I think he is entit'ed to oar hearty thanks, and especially for conferring on the country a great boon which Sir Robert Peel never meant, perhaps, to bestow upon it, but which, nevertheless, does not alter the nature of the gift. But for Sir Robert Peel contending for the corn-law, and using every effort to keep it as it is, I suppose not a few of the distinguished persons who figure most promi nently at the present day might have lived and died in the pri vacy of retirement. But Sir Robert has brought them out of that pi iraey, which to them was luxury, to bring them into the arena of public life, to fasten on them the eye!, tee confidence. and the affections of this country and contrived to marshal under them the people of all classes—bankers, merchants, tradesmen, and even the farmers themselves. And we may even suppose, that Sir Robert is preparing the way for others to foll ow th ose c l asses, fiom whose efforts 'I trust that he and his associates will either withdraw or be driven from power.--( Veh emen t c h eer , ng .) I say t h en, my Lord Provost, is not Sir Robert Peel a public benefactor — ( Laughter)—unconscious, 'you' may say—condescending, yen may say—but, after all, is he not a:sublime benefactor ?—( fle pewee:laughter. ) Can you listen to what you have heard from the right hand - of the char, and what you will no dank yet hear from the left hand, and yet say that Sir Robert Peel is not entitled to vour—l perhaps say ironical—but et exult ing approbation'—( Continued laughter.) Yes, let Sir Hobert persist, and we will persist also ; let Sir Robert support mono poly, we will oppose it ; let him and his friends club their money, we will do so too; and let it be one or two years, if we only continue true to ourselves, and to the great cause we are engaged in, we are as sure to beat him as we are en gaged in conflict with him.- r ( Loud cheers.) The Rev. Gen tleman gave the toast amidst loud and repeated cheering. Mr. Beienr now rose amid loud and prolonged cheering. When silence had in some measure been restored, he said—l have been requested by the Committee of management to speak to this meeting on a part of the subject %%bleb contains the which--that is, that part which is included in the phrase— , " The total and immediate repeal of the corn-lass s"—( t heere.") and if I had not been so requested, I have ,00 doubt but this particular parr, or whole of the sus jest, would have presented itself to my mind at the very first. For the total repeal we ask, because we ate resolved never to be satisfied with less than complete justize ; for immediate repeal we ask, because having discovered what would be. complete jes• tice, we are resolved that that justice will not be de leyed one moment if we can help it.—( Great cheering. ) We have been for twenty-eight years living under the opera tion of this corn-law, and have, as men generally do in such cases, become so accustomed to it, that we are almost unable to discover the hideousness of its features, or the deformity of its character ; but that it is hideous, that it has been most m's chievous, that it is to this hour destroying the hope and the happiness of thousands, we are well aware. The Hon. Gen tleman then entered at great length into the history and effects of the corn-law, and spoke with his usual force and eloquence, proving to the company that none of his energy, or his hearty abhorrence to the law, had been diminished by his recent nets, and concluded thus speak nut without authority. We have attended hundreds of meetings. No men in this country have seen the faces of so many of their countrymen as have.—(Cheers.) We have shaken by the hand, from our heart - of hearts, hundreds of thousands of the intelligent population of this country; and we have authority for saying, that it is the opinion of the middle classes of this country, who are intelligent, and the powerful, and the electoral classes, that this law is bad, that it originated in injustice, and has been maintained by an unjust exercise of power.—(Cheers.) And we ask you, the people of this city, whether you are willing to come with us to the breach, to bear all, to suffer all, and work all that is necessary for the carrying out of our principle, the fundamental principle of the Anti-Corn-law League ?—( Great cheering.) I know you well—l have not read the history of your country for nothing; and I need net point out to you passages in the history of your country that prove beyond dispute that there is in the people of Scotland a love of liberty that can never die.—(Cheers.) Your country has been the cradle of liberty, the home of freedom for centu ries back.—(Cheers.) You have not been oppressed and tram pled on by England, as some other parts of the world have been—(Cheers)—and now I trust that what you have done for freedom—what you have done for civil and religious freedom, lou are now ready to do for you r c ommerc i a l liberties.—( Cheers.) ask you to resolve with me that— " By oppressions woes and pains— By our sons in servile chains, We slid work while strength remains, But we shall he free."—(Cheera) Mr. Bright then pave, " The total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws," which was drunk amid enthusiastic cheering. Colonel Tiroatrsoe, who was received with loud cheers, said —My Lord Provost,Ladies qui Gentl emen , it i s we ll t h at our friend who spoke last has interposed a few matters of finance, for it would be hard to take a man from hearing l eScots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled," and carry hi m directly to the discus sion of a dry point of political economy like that which has been put into my hand.—( Laughter.) It was, perhaps, so placed, because there was a confidence that I at all events should not withhold a reply when I was regularly called on—that I should not demur to give the most honest and clear opinion I was able upon a point of such im?ortance. The question I am' to speak on is :- 44 An adjustment of taxation to give relief to the industry of the country and the masses of its population." True, you might ask your gentles to tell how this might be aecem [dished, and perhaps they would not give you such an answer as I would hint at. They would probably propose some change in the duties of oil olive, or a relaxation of those of stick- liquorice.—( Laughter.) Well, here is a sort of professional workshop, out of ; which Parliament, aril Acts of Parliament, hereafter are to be made. There let us pause a few minutes, endeavouring to clear our own ideas upon this question, although it be a dry one, and perhaps we may at some time find our opinions mounting into those regions where they shall have some chance of being re duced to a practical result. I pass by, as a mere piece of by play, those specimens of taxation in which the pcor, or nume rous classes, are ma'!e to pay in something like proportion to their poverty.—(Laughter.) The invention is a silly one, but quite effectual. It is hut this, to lay on a fixed duty upon all articles of one kind, whatever may be the differences of value amongst them.—( Hear, hear.) Tobacco—for instance—seine here are erhaps not teetotallers in that aromatic ( Laughter —well then, in consequence of the application of this principle, the poorest man here pays eleven times the tax ation on the tobacco which he whiffs on the streets, compared with that which the dandy smokes in cigara.—(Laughter.) With tea, Ladies, it is much the same. —(Laughter.) The poor have to pay the greatest proportion of the duty on tea. the Duchess pays but a fragmented portion of the value of that which they imbibe. The w asberwoman—tell it to your washer women when you go forth—pais the same amount, or some thing like it, for the Bohea with which she refreshes her irri tated nerves.—( Laughter.) There seems in this some prospect of a possibility of a mixture of taxation in that form ; but there is another form more important still, be cause it is more extensive than we now imagine it to be. The. Gallant Colonel proceeded to say that he would direct the attention of the meeting to the same sr.bject as he had brought before them when he last had the honour, of appearing before them. The question was simply this—were they to pay a higher price instead of a cheaper, for the benefit of some class of the community or other : so that a national gain alight be 'derived from it, or whether there should be a national gain or a national loss? Colonel Thompson went on to show that in every such instance, where one individual gained, hundreds of individuals lost. Ile illustrated this in his quaint and pointed style by the bread tax, the injustice and impolicy of which be briefly but powerfully exposed. But then, he said, there has gone forth a fear and apprehension, that, since there must be a large revenue raised, how imprudent to shake the fabric under which it is collected—if you do anything to impoverish the race of rich men, where are we to get the taxes ? Why, where but from those who get richer by the alteration ? (Cheers .and laughter.) Now, you appear a calculating race, whom no man can beat at sugar fractions any more than in the field of action.—(Laughter.) Look into those things against I come again, and let us then compare notes. Another time I will see whether we have not made some progress in knowing what species of taxation it is that ought to remain, and what should be removes!, in the support of my toast, which is,', An Adjust ment of Taxation, to give Relief to the Industry of the Country, and the masses in; Population."--( Great cheering. ) Mr. Oswar.o, M.P., gave the healths of those.rnembers in the tipper House who support-the principles of free trade.— ( Loud cheers.) The toast was given with all the honours. "Councillor CROSS next addressed the ineetanz, and in a neat and appropi iate speech proposed The Abolition of the Sugar and all other Colonial Monopoly," which was received with enthusiastic applause. Dr. Wilms proposed " The speedy repeal of all these laws which enhance the price of food, and are productive of poverty, immorality, and crime." Mr. COIIDEN, with many well-merited compliments., pro. posed " The health of the Lard Provost." Drunk with loud cheering. The LORD PROVOST briefly thanked the meeting for the honour they had conferred upon him, and, after passing a high eulogium upon " The free trade Members of the House of 'COmmons who have honoured us with their presence," pro posed the toast., coupling it with the name of Mr. Hattie, M.P. for Paisley. Mr. HASTIE, M.P., spoke to the toast. At the conclusion the LORD PROVOST proposed three clams for the Anti-Corn law League, which were heartily given, and the large meeting separated in the most decorous and orderly manner. WILL OF TILE MARQUIS WELLESLEY.—The will and codicil of the Marquis Wellesley have just been proved by Mr. John Thornton Down, the sole executor, who has a legacy of 1,000/. Ile bequeaths to Mr. Alfred Montgomery, his private secretary, 1,000/., "in regard of his affectionate, dutiful, and zealots. services," and the residue of his property to bis wife, Mary Ann, Marchioness Wellesley. I3y the codicil he gives to his secretary (Mr. Montgomery), in addition to the legacy in his will, all his manuscripts ; and gives the following directions, which are rertatim :—" And I desire him to publish such of my papers as shall tend to illustrate my two admimatrations in Ireland, and to protect my honour against the slander of Mel bourne and his pillar of state. O'Connell." To Lord BroofiCham he leaves '• Homer," in tour vols., and earnestly desires him to assist in publishing his MSS., saying, " I leave my memory in his charge, confiding in his justice and hcnour." To Earl Grey, " my George, carved on an Amethyst, and worn by George II." To his valet be leaves his wearing apparel, robes, stars, &c., " for his kindness during my illness." The property is sworn under 6,000/. COLONEL ST ODDART ALIVE.—We understand that what may be considered authentic intelligence has reached town, to the effect, that Colonel btoddart is still alive, and at large, though strictly watched, by orders of the Khan of Bukhara.
