A T a MEETING of the ANTE-CORN-LAW ZIL DELEGATES, representing Twenty of the most consider able manufacturing and commercial Towns in the Kingdom, held at the Large Room adjoining the York Hotel, Manchester, on the 24th January, 1839, for the purpose of considering the mode of proceeding to be adopted in the ensuing Session of Parliament for effecting the total and immediate Repeal of the Corn and Provi sion Laws; JOHN BENJAMIN SMITH, Esq., in the Chair; It was moved by WILLIAM WEIR ' Esq., of Gla s g ow; s ecoded by WILLIAM BOULTBEE, Esq., of Birmingham, and resolved una nimously- 1. That this Meeting of Representatives from all the great sec tions of, our.manufactnring and commercial/Population solemnly de clare it to be their conviction, that the prosperity of the great staples upon which their capital and industry are employed is in imminent danger from the operation of the laws which interdict or inter with the exchange of their productions for the corn and other pro duce of foreign nations, and thus check our trade, anegtiticially ,that the price of food in this country ; and believingat the facts Upon which this judgment is formed are too little known, and of such national importance as to call for their disclosure before the people's representatives, they earnestly recommend that Petitions be immediately forwarded from all parts of the kingdom, praying to be heard, by Counsel and evidence, at the Bar of the House of Commons, in the approaching Session of Parliament. Moved by JosnuA WALMSLEY, Esq., of Liverpool; seconded by .oy Josnu— , -no, on the MAYOR of Leeds, arid resolved unanimously 2. That, in order to secure unity and efficiency, this Meeting recommends that Delegates be appointed by the several Anti-Corn law Associations of the kingdom. to assemble as a Central Board in London at the opening of Parliament, to whom shall be intrusted, amongst other business, the duty of obtaining the services of such Members as may be inclined to urge their cause with efficiency in Parliament; and in the mean time this Meeting impresses upon all those local bodies the necessity of immediately collecting and ar ranging •theirexidencv., andllaciug,it at-the. disposaljal.thet Central. Board. Thoie manufacturing and commercial towns not already possessing such societies are earnestly recommended to form Anti- Corn-law Associations; and in case they require information or advice, they are invited to put themselves immediately in corre spondence with the Manchester Association, whose fundamental rule, prohibiting the discussion of any party or political topics. is especially recommended for the adoption of all similar bodies else where. Moved by JOSEPH WALKER, Esq., of Wolverhampton; seconded by the MAYOR of Lancaster, and resolved unanimously 3. Chat the agricultural proprietor, capitalist, and labourer are benefited equally with the trader by the creation and circulation of the wealth of the country ; and this Meeting appeals to all those classes to co-operate for the removal of a monopoly which, by re stricting the foreign commerce of the country, retards the increase of population, and restrains the growth of towns ; thus depriving the agriculturist of the manifold resources to be derived from the augmenting numbers and wealth of the country. Moved by the MA YOR of Bolton; seconded by the Hon. ERSKINE Mu RRAY, of Edinburgh, and resolved unanimously 4. That this Meeting cannot separate without expressing its deep sympathy with the present privations of that great and valuable class of their countrymen who earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow ; so many of whom are now suffering from hunger in the midst of boundless fields of employment, rendered unproductive solely by those unjust laws which prevent the exchange of the pro duct; of their industry for the food of other countries. So long as a plentiful supply of the first necessaries of life is denied by the Acts of the British Legislature to the great body of the nation, so long will the Government and the country be justly exposed to all the evils resulting from the discontent of the people. With a view to avert so great a danger by an act of universal justice, this Meeting pledges itself to a united, energetic, and persevering effort for the total and immediate repeal of all law silaffecting the free importation of grain. Moved by Mr. Alderman CoonEN, of Manchester; seconded by R. 11. GREG, Esq., of Manchester, and resolved unanimously_ 5. That the Delegates appointed for the furtherance of the ob jects of this Meeting by the different Corn-law Associations and Towns, be advised to assemble at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, Westminster, at Twelve o'Cock, on Monday, the 4th of February. J. B. SMITH, Chairman. The Chairman having left the Chair, the same was taken by the MAyolt of Manchester, and on the motion of C. P. Vxm.mas, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Sir WiLiaaar MoLEswormr, Bart., M.P., it was unanimously resolved— That the thanks of this Meeting be given to J. B. Smith, Esq., for the excellent manner in which he has presided over the busi ness of this day. THOMAS POTTER, Mayor. C . AND A. OLDRII)GE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA.

The following is the report of the Harbour-master of the most important station in the river to the Lord Mayor, on the operation of the new arrangements, and several matters con nected with the coal trade, comprehending the points in Mr. Richard's letter, which hzs been published : " Harbour-master's Office, Greenwich. " MT Loan—ln answer to your Lordship's communication, requesting information on various subjects connected with the district over which I preside as Harbour. master of the port of London. " let. How the by-laws work in this division of the river, whether they are strictly carried into cffecr, and whether any difficulty arises in enforcing compliance with the orders? " I beg to report that the by-laws work exceedingly well in this district, and secure unobstructed passage for naviga tion; give access to the docks and victualling yards ; and pre vent damage to her Majesty's or the City's mooring chains. The s)stem adopted under the new by-laws of putting► the orders for the pool on board the vessels in the sections is highly approved of by all parties interested. The shipowner finds his vessel in security with the captain on board to watch her safety, and to protect his property, and the captain and men are not exposed to the annoyance of waiting about in them in wet weather. The laws arc strictly adhered to in the district. " 2d, Are all ships passed up in turn ? " The ships are all passed up into the pool in turn as they are sold in the coal market, according to a list furnished, in the following manner:— 'Coal-meter's Office, Coal Exchange. ." To the Harbour.masters of the Port of London. Gentlemen—The sellers and buyers of the cargoes of coals in the following ships have applied at this office for meters to weigh out the same. I have to request you will permit the said ships or vessels to proceed into the pool, for the purpose of discharging the said cargoes.—By order, William Vale, shipping clerk.' " Ships consigned to gas companies and for private:use are required to produce at my office a certificate from the factor, merchant, or consignee, stating that the ship will not employ a coal-market weigher, and that the vessel will be unloaded immediately on her arrival in the pool. Her name is then placed in turn for the pool, following the lat ship metered by the market list, and generally on the next delivery of orders she receives her permission to proceed into the pool, if in one section, according to the orders previously received from the Harbour-master at Gravesend, vessels bound to the docks or wharfs are, by the sth section of the bye-laws, allowed to proceed to their destination without any delay, for the purpose of discharging their cargoes. Should they not discharge their cargoes of coal in the dock or at the wharf they fall under the above town regulations, and require an order for the pool in the same manner as if they had been lying during the whole time in a section of the river. Those sections are seven in number, distinguished by marks or piles on the banks of the river, and will accommodate 439 sail of colliers. _ 3. What is the largest period that any coal ship has remained in the river since the new bya-laws came into ope ration ? On this point I have to inform your Lord.hip that the account of vessels taken at the coramencement .of the ope ration of the new by-laws was imperfect, and, therefore, I have confined the investigation to the month of December, by which it appears that several vessels were detained in the river, between Gravesend and Greenwich, waiting for orders for the pool, 23 days. "4. Would it not be an advantage to the public to coin 'pet coal-ships to unload sixty tons per day instead of forty nine, as at present, and thereby compel a ship with 300 tons of coals to leave the pool within six days after entering it, in stead of allowing them fifteen days to unload, as at present, without interfering with the coalowners in the north and the factors here? The alteration proposed to compel ships to deliver 60 tons instead of 49, would in no way interfere with the coal owners in the north or the factors here. The coal merchants would feel the inconvenience, if they arose, from the necessity of a greater supply of the craft for the discharge of the ship. Such a regulation would break up a system of imposition now practised by the lightermen upon the shipowners for what is usually termed despatch. Thus a ship of 300 tons is allowed seven days to discharge in. If the lighterman will supply craft the ship is worked out in five days. For this despatch he would receive a sum of money varying from 15s. to 30,. for each day, or keep the last room of coals in the vessel to the extent of her seven days. An alteration in the present regulation of discharging from the ship 60 instead of 49 tons of coals would be of great benefit to the shipowners and the public. lam of opinion that the coal-merchant could not offer any reasonable objection ; but, should it appear other wise, your Lordship must be aware that 15 days, as at pre sent allowed by the by-laws, is too long a time, even under the 49 tons delivery system, and the stated time for each vessel might be placed on a scale, and introduced into the third section of the by-laws. Under 250 tons of coals four days, 300 tons five days, 350 tons six days, 400 tons seven days, 450 tons eight days, 500 tons nine days, and upwards in proportion. _ _ "The effect of this regulation would be to compel the sale of the whole of the cargo before the vessel could obtain admission to the Pool. Such admission is obtained by the sale of a small part only of the cargo, and thus a valuable space in the tier is occupied until the remainder is sold. Un der the present system it is a very rare case for a vessel of 300 tons of coals, when the whole cargo is sold, to exceed seven days in the Pool, it being the object of the Captain to dis charge his cargo with all possible expedition. The 4tb clause of the by-laws could remain in force, and give the vessel, after the discharge of the cargo, the next suc ceeding flood-tide to get her ballast on board. lam not aware of any law to compel the merchant to deliver daily from the ship any required amount of coals. They are guided by a custom or regulation amongst themselves with the shipowners. Having disposed of these subjects. which are in connec tion with the present regulations of the river, I approach that part of your Lordship's communication which embraces a re duction in the pi ice of coals with the preservation of a free and unobstructed passage, and which appears to be the object of the whole of the new regulations. Can Captain Rowland suggest any alteration that might be made fur the public ben( fit in respect to a more speedy de livery of coals from the ships, and Or reby enable a captain to perform a greater number of voyages without being detained by the factors ? And further, can Captain Rowland suggest a ny mode whereby the public can be well served with coals, and leave the combinatcrs in the full enjoyment of all their rules and regulations? , e The subject here presonted to me is one which has en grossed much of my time and consideration. As early as July, 1824, I presented a petition to the Court of Common Council, annexing a copy of a letter addressed to the Right Hon. George F. Robinson, Chancellor of the Exchequer, wherein I pointed out the crowded and dangerous state of the navigation of the river, the increase of the coal trade, and the additional accommodation required. It was at that period stated that from twenty to 100 sail are frequently compelled to be detained for a week, and sometimes for a fortnight, at Blackwall and Greenwich, until there is room in the collier pool, while the very insecure anchorage in which they are often thus unavoidably placed, causes constant risk, and nu merous accidents. In 1825, the quantity of coals imported in 6,564 ships, was 1,856 606 tons. In 1837, the quantity in 8,720 ships, was 2,626 997 tons, and in 1838 the quan tity in 9,003 ships was 2,581,085 tons. If the state of the coal . It ,if , z trade in 18124, called for extended regulations, how much mote requisite are they now that the trade has increased 40 per cent., and if the regulations made by the authorities have tended to improve the navigae.on in the poi/A at Greenwich and Blaekwall, and by the increase trade to Gravesend, and even below it, and the average exceeds 330 sail of colliers lying in different parts of the river down to Gravesend, the risk is proportionably increased to the colliers, and injurious to a free navi , atioa. Upon further inquiry on the subject of the delivery of coals, it appears that in 1824, more facility being given to collier ships to discharge, there were frequently 220 sail of ceiiirs moored in the pools, whereas the law to pre serve a navigation of 300 feet, limits the number in 1838 to 147 ships. By a recent alteration in the moorings the accom modation is increased to 166 ships in the collier pool, and the tiers westward of the pool, when unoccupied by traders will add 20 more to the number. Thus 186 ships is the maximum number to be in the pool at one time. I will now draw your Lordship's attention to the fact that that number is not equiva lent to Lhe wants of the trade or satisfactory to the public, in• asmuch as the delay arising from want of room for the dis charge of ships sold is one of the great causes of the increased price of coals, and if more ships were sold in the market than at present, the cargoes could not be discharged in the pool, as it is already crowded to the extent the law allows to preserve the 300 feet navigation. At the close of the market on each day during the month of December there were no less that: • 94 sail, and on the 2tith of December there were 143 ; some of them remaining in the sections six days after they were sold before there was room for them in the pool, and their turn arrived for discharging their cargoes. " The only legitimate inference that can be deduced from this state of things is, as his Lordship doubtless perceives, that the pools are not large enough for the wants of the trade, consistently with the despatch and proper delivery of the article to the public. " The river Thames down to Gravesend, on occasions, has not been large enough for the coal-ships, consistently with a preservation of a free passage through this important port. and many colliers hare been detained below this last-named place. This detention of ships from feeding the market secures to the coal owner his demand for the coals, and the ship-owner the freight which he must have to compensate him for the delay, and the extra charges incident thereto. Tho difference between the freight of the free ship and the one under the surveillance of the owners and factors, is about 2s. Od. per ten, which money is paid to support the owners and factors' regulations, and to keep the men, who receive 61. los. a voyage, two-thirds of their time in idleness. The public pay this sum upon about 2,000,000 tons. " The number of barges congregated during the first half flood and first half-ebb tides in the pool presenting a most for midable impediment to navigation, is one of the many , nui sances attendant upon the d e li very o f coa l s i n the strewn', and has been particularly n o ti ce d an d comp l a i ned of by many parsons before the Committees of the House of Commons and the city of London. The preser,t regulations are a great improvement on every • former system, and the public are indebted much to your Lordship and the Navigation Committee for your indefatigable exertions in bringing them forward for the general trade of the port of London." _ _ A most minute detail of particulara of the tonnage, the dates, arrival, of the sale of cargoes, the delay, &c., follows, proving that the duti e s o f C apta i n R ow l an d have been very heavy and very efficiently performed.

(From the World of Fashion ) MORNING CAPS.—These of real lace become more in fa vour. Some that hare lately appeared have a small caul drawn in round the summit of tti.2 head, under a wreath of co quets of ribbon. The top of the caul forms a puff, but not a high one. The border, laid fiat and narrow on the forehead, is much deeper as it descends down the sides, and turns back twice round the caul ; but the second fall is raised above the other. .».. . 'Y'.. s_ CAPOTES appear, at last, to have their size positively fixed for the winter. Those of shot silk have almost wholly disap peared. They are now composed of plain materials only. HATS A ND -BONNIITS.—The cottage shape seems to have de creased in favour,and the mode of trimming hats and bonnets with lace is even more general than la s t mon th. W e scarce l y see one of an elegant description that is not adorned with either white or black lace. Lace draperies intermixed with velvet flowers arc also adopted. CnAcvArx.—The majority have the brim more of an oval form. Velvet, particularly black velvet, is the material most in request for promenade hats. Several are decorated with a long black ostrich feather, tipped with one of the colours of the shaded ribbon that ornaments the hat; it is placed upon the brim, and droops over it upon thu throat. One of the most remarkable of the coloured hats is or a new shade of grey and blue; the brim is edged with very broad black lace, and surmounted by a single ostrich feather panache°, blue upon blue. EVENING .I:lREssts.—The fashion of covering the head is this winter more generally adopted, even by very young married ladies, than we have ever known it. W e must cite a singularly pretty little cap, styled the bonnet guirlande ; it is of tulle, excessively small, placed quite at the back of the head, and encircled with a wreath of flowers. The bonnet Vestale, ornamented with heath blossoms, is also an elegant novelty ; and the bonnet puff has the imposing air of the old style with the lightness of the new. NEW MATERIALS EOR EVENING DRESS.—III reviving the fashions of the seventeenth century, we have also revived the superb silks and brocades that were then employed. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON EVENING AND BALL ROBES. Black velvet and satin robes are very much in vogue ; several arc trimmed with velvet flowers, of ♦ery vivid colours. Co loured velvet or satin dresses, of those of Pekin, trimmed with black lace flounces, are also very fashionable ; thew have the corsages made tight, and encircled with lace mantillas of the flat kind, some of which form points upon the shoulders and bosom. Short sleeves, tight at the top, but trimmed at the bottom with bouillons or manchettes. Several ball dresses have the fronts disposed en tablier, and decorated with rich Gothic lace; they are also sometimes trimmed with gold or silver blonde lace, or with the material of the robe. Organdy dresses, which we must observe, are of the most exquisite fineness and transparency, are embroidered in small patterns of sprigs upon the ground. The flounces which trim these dresses are cut bias, and embroidered in a patierr► some what different from that of the ground, but yet hearing a resemblance to it. ROBES DE CIIAMBRE.—Some are made with a large falling collar, entirely of velvet; otilers have the collar, which is also of %elvct, ♦ery small and round ; but there is, besides, a small pelerine somewhat in the paysanne form. COURT COIFFURES.—Those styled moyen-age will be com posed of a superb antique point lace lappet, retained by a gold foliage intermingled with diamonds. A coiffure that will be adopted by several of the high nobility, will he composed of a longe Berthe of silver blonde lace, intermingled with volubilis of pink velvet. .'ciards OP COURT Ros=s.—The corsages will be made tight to the shape and pointed, and the skirts of excessive, fulness. MATERIALS OF COURT ROBES.—Satins- Pompadour mill be very numerous. Pekins figured in bouquets of all colours upon an azure blue or gold coloured ground, presents an ad_ mirable imitation of that antique style of patterns so pinch in vogue at present. Velvets of all kinds, gros de Tours flowered in reliefs volonte. Satins rubannes, and strewed with bouquets. so perfectly figured as to resemble the most beautiful embroidery, and though last not least, brocade of either a white or rose-coloured ground, figured in gold or silver. BALL DRESS MATERlALs.—Besides tulle, gauzes of various kinds, crape, and organdy, all of which are in favour, we have to announce two new satins—satin-istasis, the ground of which has the appearance of white lace thrown over satin, flowered in colours ; and satin. erzeroum, embroidered in very rich and elegant patterns . SHAWLS.—Thibet fringe is in great favour for trimming shawls, both of velvet and satin. The most cle,7,ant of theso superb fringes hove a heading of velvet, wi',n patterns of silk and gold in relief. POINTED SHAWLS.—Some black se'in ones have appeared: they are pointed before and behirra. and with a pelerine of a large sin, which is also pointe?. TbeSe shawls are of two kinds, some are entirely blr.ck, the lining being either gros de' Naples or pelucbe, and The border of black velvet, with patterns in relief. The others have a velvet border of a very striking colour, and also with patterns in relef, and the lining is of silk or peluche, to correspond with the border. CLOAKS.-Witgehouras both of velvet and satin are adopted in carriago dress. It is yet early in the season for their ap pearance. Short cloaks trimmed with sable are also in great request ; they are in general made with a large collar of the fur. One of the most elegant noveltiesof the month is a black satin cloak, bordered with an embroidery of mk leaves, in two , shades of green chenille, and edged with a full fall of double grounded black lace. PELISSES tire very much in vogue both for carriage and promenade tress. There are two kinds in favour. Those worn over robes are wadded , and have the lining quilted throughout. These. are composed of satin, and may be trimmed either with velvet o r fur, b ut the latter is 'preferred. HEAD-DRESSCS OF HAIR.-Coiffures a la Grecqu e are also much in request. They are ornamented with a circlet of gold on the forehead, and an arrow of gold set "with coloured gems passed through the knot behind. FASHIONABLE COLOURS have not varied since our last num ber, but we observe that black increases in favour in every de partment of the toilette in which it can be employed. THE LATE MR. COBBETT, M.P.—Miss Rey— nolds, we understand, has been prevailed upon to give a Fourth Lecture on the Writings of that truly great man Mr. Cobbett. She has selected very interesting subjects, and has acquitted herself admirably. We shall witness her display on Monday : we expect a treat, and hope not to be disappointed. On Tuesday last a Deputation of the Committee of the Coffee and Eating-house Keepers presented a vote off thanks, passed at their general meeting, to the Right HOD. the Lord Mayor, fur his spirited and praiseworthy conduct ha endeavowing to break the combination to keep up the price of coals, and were very kindly received, and assured that it only required the support of the public to effect that desired con. summation.
