Mr. EWART fumed, and Mr. &macs seconded, that the same gentlemen be authorized to examine into .the agricultural, as had already investigated the manufac turing portion of the question. The moion Was eanied, and it was agreed that the questions should be circulated as widely as possible. The CHAIRMAN said, with regard to the proposed deputation of delegates to wait upon Lord Melbourne, it had been a matter much discussed whether the num ber should be large or small. No information had ben yet received from Lord Melbourne on the subject. But it had been decided that the best way of approaching his Lordship would be by a deputation of half-a-dozen from the principal towns ; to give his Lordship such information as might be useful on this important ques tion. It was desirable that this should be done as early as possible, in order to prevent his Lordship's mind from being prejudiced by what occurred out of doors. The Delegate from Huddersfield asked if it had not been customt.ry not to limit the numbers of a deputa tion ? He saw no reason for any limitation of numbers, unless, which he believed was not the case, Lard Melbourne desired it. The CHAIRMAN slid this point had been much dis- cussed ; and it had been deemed most judicious that a small deputation should wait upon his Lordship first ; that did not at all prevent a larger deputation seeing him subsequently. Dr. BOWRING observed that a great number of ad ditional Delegates would shortly arrive in town. Mr. STURGE said many points might be discusses' with Lord Melbourne, by a small deputation, which his Lordship would not be so ready, perhaps, to enter upon if a large party were present ; and probably gentlemen of the press would be present.—( Hear.) Mr. WEIR then moved that the following gentlemen be appointed to accompany the Chairman, to wait upon Lord Melboarne Mr. Greg, from Manchester ; Mr. Willmsley, from Liverpool ; Mr. Stansfield, from Leeds ; Mr. Johnson, from Glasgow ; Mr. Ashworth, from Bolton ; and Mr. Sturge, from Birmingham.—(Hear.) Mr. WALTER secondad the motion. Mr. G. A. YOUNG said he would take that opportu nity, not hating attendedgany of the previous meetings of the Delegates, of stating under what circumstances he attended there that day. A petition, signed by 20,000 persons had been prepared in the Borough of Mar3le bone, and was about to be presented to Parliament— (Hear, bear) —and he had been requested to attend and to co-operate with the Delegates.—( Hear, hear.) A Solicitor and a Counsel bad been appointed by the pro moters of the petition, to do all that was necessary for supporting its prayer at the bar of the House of Com mons, and Colonel Thompson had been requested to re present the petitioners among the Delegates.—(Hear, hear.) Two other petitions had been prepared by the Vestries of Marylebone and St. Pancras, which were not signed so numerously as the other, because they were confined to those parizbes.—(Hear, hear.) Various persons had been employed to go round the parishes, to procure the copies of the petitions which had been lying for signatures ; and they bad found a feeling of surprise fund indignation very prevalent, at the omis sion of nil notice of the Corn-laws in the Queen's Speech. —{Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN—What is the prayer of your petition? Mr. YOUNG—For a total repeal of the Corn-laws.— (Hear, hear.) The petition was prepared so long ago as the month of October, before the present Anti-Corn law agitation had commenced. A prayer had since been added to be heard by Counsel at the bar of the House. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. Young then read the petition, which was as follows : To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Tem poral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, The Humble Petition of the undersigned Electors and Non- Electors resident in the Borough of Marylebone, Sltlw STH, That your Petitioners have observed, with the deepest concern, the recent advance in the price of corn, and the distress thereby occasioned to the industrial and labouring population of the United Kingdom. That under a wise and liberal system of trade, your Pe- titioners would submit to such a visitation as an unavoid able evil ; hut your petitioners cannot conceal from them selves, that the disastrous effects of an unfavourable har vest are greatly aggravated, if not entirely occasioned, by the laws restricting the importation of foreign corn— laws, which seek to promote the supposed exclusive inte rest of one class of the community, by forbidding the ap plication of the excessive produce of neighbouring States to the relief of the wants and sufferings of the people. That justice, sound policy, and humanity, alike demand, that the principle of leaving commerce unfettered, should be applied more emphatically to the particular trade on which the sustenance of the people depends, than to any other. That the selfish and impolitic principles on which our Corn-laws are based, have called into existence, in foreign countries, political leagues for the exclusion of British manufactures—have ems- ioned a great and increasing dimi nution of our foreign trade—have injured the cause of European freedom, by enabling despotic Governments to foment and cherish a feeling of hostility towards the p.mplc of this country; and have crippled the power and dimished the influence of Britain, by fettering the industry on which that power and influence depends. Deeply impressed with the correctness of these opin:cns, your petitioners observed with extreme regret and surprise, at the commencement of the last Session of Parliament, that the Minister of the Crown, who introduced a Bill for the Reform of your Honourable House, declared that the Reform Bill must necessarily give a preponderance to the landed interest, and that a preponderance in favour of that interest, tended to the stability of the general interests of the country. . _ Your petitioners, therefore, respectfully but earnestly, remonstrate against the continuance of the laws imposing restrictions on the importation of foreign corn, and humbly pray that the tame may be entirely repealed. And your petitioners will ever pray, &e. The CHAIRMAN asked if it would not be better that the counsel who had been appointed to act for the dele gates should act for the %%bole ? Mr. You NG replied that he was the counsel appointed to act for the Marylebone petitioners. He was there only ministerially, and conp not decide ; hut he was sure all parties would 1)._! happy to do everything in their power, by cordial co-operation to promote the general object.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. GREG observed that there was no Delegate from London on the deputation, Whereupon Dr. Bowring WAS appointed in that capacity, and the names of the deputation were agreed to. Mr. GREG then read an extract from a letter he had received from Lancaster, which stated that theAnti-Corn law advocates had a most successful meeting, although a considerable opposition had been got up by the Tory party, who made some able speeches, but several operatives rose up, and in rough, though able style, answered their ob jections ; and a petition had been agreed to, and sub scriptions commenced.—(Hear.) They were all very ardent down there—confident that it was a matter of life and death.—( Hear.) Mr. BROOKE, the Delegate from Huddersfield, said he was sorry that he could not report so favourably from that town, where, on Tuesday last, a meeting had been held, and where it had been expected that the cause would have been supported alike by masters and operatives. But ho regretted to say that the Chartists met, and defeated them. Still it was so far satisfac tory, that the Chartists admitted that the Corn-laws were ruinous, though they contended that it was impoli tic to apply to the present House of Commons. Mr. BAINE!, junior, also gave a similar account of the proceedings at Huddersfield. He added that the opponents of the Anti-Corn-law agitation there were most inconsistent—that one day they were for the wildest Radicalism, and the next for the extreme of Toryism—and that Mr. Oastler in particular, was their admired friend and champion.—(Hear, hear.) They had, however, but a very small majority on this occa 'Sion ; and for the judgment of men whose conduct was so contradictory and factious, no great respect could be entertained.—( Hear, hear.) Even they, however, had at length come to the conclusion that Corn-lsws were prejudicial to our manufactures, and that was, so far, an improvcnlent.—( Hear.) The CLIAMMAN reported fluiri li.ochdale, that at au Commons b) Mr. Alderman Poole. No opposition was off; red to it. Lord Brougham, who was not at that time in Parliament, appeared as counsel for the peti tioners—opened his case clearly and explicitly—sum moned his witnesses—and the first witness he call: d would be also the first witness whom he (Mr. Ewart) would call on the present occasion, an extensive manu facturer in Manchester, Mr. George William Wood.— (Great laughter.) So that there is not only a prece dent as to what to do, but as to who to call.—(Re newed laughter.) There could therefore be no doubt., that, in praying to be heard by counsel at the bar of the House, they had' the sanction of precedent. You can operate on the House of Commons only by means of the people. You ought not to be stopped by tech nical object►ons ; and when the people know that you de mand inquiry, they will back you. In answer to inquiry from the Chairman, Mr. Ewart stated that, in the cases referred to, counsel had been heard on a petition, and not on the preamble of a Bill. Mr. WEIR corroborated what had been stated as to the existence of precedents. The Russian Company liad been heard by counsel against the Turkey Com pany. In 1785, on an inquiry into the operation of the tax imposed on muslins in the preceding year, counsel were heard at the bar of the House in oppo sition to this tax. They opened their case on the 21st of March. Witnesses were examined on the sth and Gth of April. On the Bth counsel commented on the evidence. Other witnesses were examined at the de sire of the Houses and counsel were again heard. In fact, from the year 1730 down to 1808 cases had constantly occurred which might be adduced as prece dents. But the House of Commons was not, like 'Westminster Hall, tied down to precedents ; it was a body whose duty it was, if laws and authorities were bad, to amend them.----(Hear, hear.) We demand as a right that they shall afford us relief from the operation of laws which we declare to be destructive to us. If the House of Commons refuse to grant that which two thirds of the community declare to be necessary to their very existence, it will no longer be a fit body to govern a people, but will show that it is legislating only for the sinister purposes of a few indivi duals. In this case it will be well for us and the country to deliberate on the course wo should pursue, but until we have a deliberate vote of the House of Commons to that effect he could never believe in the existence of a body of gentlemen in that House who would dare thus to resist the wishes of the community. Dr. BOWRING wished the question would resolve itself into a question of technicalities and form, but he was afraid that the resistance would not be made on these grounds. He hoped that the resistance to their appeal would produce a reaction which would convince the House of Commons itself that it could not safely resist the appeal. Mr. WALMSLEY was sorry to hear that this line of I argument hat( been adopted ; he trusted the Home of Commons would see the necessity of yielding to their wishes. Before he went to Manchester he would con fess that he was in favour of a gradual repeal of the Corn-laws, but he had now altered his opinion, and in consequence of the arguments which he had there heard, he was convinced that the best way was to lima the evil at once, and demand a total repeal. He (Mr. %V.) was a perfectly di,,interested individual, he was not connected with manufactures, but was connected with land and commerce, lie was convinced that the value of land would be enhanced by a repeal of the C,,rn-laws. The landlords themselves should know that they had a much greater protection than they supposed in the cost of the transit of grain from the place of its growth to the place of export ; this protection amounted to eight or nine per cent., and. in addition they had a protection of from twenty to twenty-five per cent., which would be the cost of bringing grain from the port of transit to this country. It is thought to be a sufficient protection for them. Whatever was injurious to the manufac turer was injurious, in a double degree, to the land owner. If they doubted this, let them refer to the prices of land fifty years ago, previous to the introduction of manufactures. If manufactures go down, which they must do under the present Corn-law system, the landowners must go down with them. The manu facturers abroad were desirousthat no change should take place in our Corn-law system. They were desirous of a fixed duty. If the landlords understood their own in terests they would remove every restraint. every restraint. Mr. Wahl*ley then read the following account of the average prices of wheat during the last eighteen years, at different places on the Continent, and the ave rage amount of charges on it in its transit to this country. This statement was drawn up by Mr. Sturge and Mr. Wahnsley, who are both corn-dealers, and may, there fore, be considered as founded on the best data : Average price of Wheat at Dantaic for the last ten years 3Ps. to 405., ending December, 1838.

Dr. BOWRING said, that the apprehensions of the agriculturists as to the extension of the means of pro duction of corn in foreign countries were un founded. In those countries where the serfs pay their rents to the Lords in the produce of the land, the difference and the amount of that produce would not be greatly increased, because the productive qualities of the land were already pushed to the utmost extent, but the increased price would increase the riches of the landlord. This was the case in northern and central Europe. In the south of Europe the occupier of land paid the proprietor one-half of the produce as rent, and most of these lands were not cropped solely with corn, but were laid out as vineyards, olive-grounds, and in various other ways, in order if one crop failed another might succeed. It was not to be supposed that they would give up their old habits of cultivation, and root up their olive-grounds and vineyards. He did not believe that the small addition made by the importation of grain, would be sufficient to counteract the effect which would be produced by the increased general consump tion of it. The facts thus brought forward would be substantiated by irresistible evidence, and the agricul turist would see that while by a repeal of the Corn-laws they were doing good to commerce and manufactures generally, they were at the same time promoting their own interests. The CHAIRMAN said that was one view of the ques tion, which had been presented to him by a foreign gen tleman, and which appeared to be so plain and simple that he would put it before the Committee. He said " There is one protection given to the agriculturists which you never can take from them, and it is the only protection they are entitled to, viz., the cost of bringing foreign grain to this country—(Hear, hear)—and that cost could not be less than 10s. per quarter." Now, as an acre of ground would grow f our quarters o f wheat the protection amounted to 40s. an acre—( Hear, hear) —and 40s. an acre was more than the average rent paid for land in this countrv.—(Cries of " Double." If this was the relation in which the English farmer stood to the foreign farmer, the English farmer, as it were, got 11 4 laud fur nothing, and therefore being merely at the expense of cultivating it he could better compete with forcigne:s. Mr. JOSEPH STURGE corroborated the statement made by Mr. Walmsley, as to the conversation they had had that day with a gentleman in the City ; and if they could only get him at the bar of the House of C salmons, he was confident that no cross-examinati on would shake his testimony. This gentleman also told them that the merchants of Dantzic generally would rather give 10s. a quarter more for grain in the port of exportation than they would for grain in the interior of the country, before it was brought down the river Vis tula. He (Mr. S.) had also put this question to him— Supposing the population of the country increased only half a million annually, and it being now proved that the present growth of wheat, even in a tolerabi favourable season, did not furnish a sufficient suppl : what would be the cost of importing 300,000 quarto - more ? The gentleman laughed at him, and said that he did not think they would be able to get more than 100,000 additional quarters.—(Hear, hear.) Ev en before they could get wheat to Odessa, the prin cipal shipping port, they have to bring it 300 or 400 miles overland.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. BawsoN felt highly interested in the statements made by Mr. Walmsley. At the present moment h e thought it of very great importance, as the branch in, which he was engaged with many others had from 60 to 80 per cent, of the coat expended in labour ; there fore, if 20 per cent. at least (which was a very moderate estimate) was the lowest sum at which foreign wheat could bo imported into this country, it would leave an advantage of about 15 per cent. in favour of the foreign manufacturer ; and against them in a natural market : and they would, if the Corn-laws were abolished to-morrow, lose such branches of their na tional industry as these laws had already by offering so large a premium in favour of our foreign competitors induced—nay, by excluding their produce —compell e d them to establish, what the difference of the transit would enable them to continue ; and the immediate abolition would only save to them such fabrics as re quired less labour and more material in the cost .price. Much had been said as to whether there was or was not a precedent for hearing evidence at the bar of the House. Now, he thought that in the history of nations there never was a case which more imperatively. called for a precedent to be established than that involved in this inquiry.—(Hear, hear.) There were gentlemen present from all parts of the kingdom, and representing all sorts of manufactures ; and who one and all said, that their various constituencies were suffering from foreign rivals, many of them to an extent which threat ened them with a speedy expulsion from the foreign— son:e of them from the home market itself. Thi s loudly called for a precedent ; and he would ask if th e Houses of Parliament could be employed in a more im portant inquiry, or one on which the well-being, n ay, very existence of society depended ?—(Hear.) Mr. AIKEN wished to give greater publicity than had yet been afforded to an opinion expressed by one of their opponents in the House of Lords. In order that he might make no mistake, he would read it from the Standard. He wished it to be more generally promul gated as a specimen of the arguments of their opp e _ nents—their noble opponents.—(Hear, hear.) In the Standard of the Gth of February, he found the follow ing :—" The Earl of Winchelsea had himself travelled through many manufacturing districts in that year (1822) when the price of bread was 3d. to aid. per loaf, and meat 2d. to lid. per lb., and had never wit nessed so much distress as was caused by"— ee b a , would they suppose ? Why, by cheap meat and cheap bread.—(Great laughter.) He trusted that the gentlemen connected with the Press, whose attention might not have been called to this before, would be kind enough to give it every pub licity.—( Hear, and laughter.) A very unwise and a very impolitic observation had been made in both Houses of Parliament, that the people were not excited on this question. Now if there had been one object more than another which all of them had anxiously had in view, it was to allay as much as possible the excite ment that existed on this subject. Those very men who opposed the abolition of the Corn-laws, were now endeavouring to stir up strife and danger, while they had been doing all in their power to suppress the fer ment. If it was necessary to create excitement in order to get what they wanted, they could very soon act upon that hint.—( Hear, hear.) But if they did, VS bat would be the result ? It would then be said "We will not yield to clamour."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BARKER, of Preston, had only as yet heard but one opinion expressed as to the impolicy of the Corn-laws, and even the Chartists, although they did not co-operate with them, were still agreed upon the impolicy of those laws. Even in the time of the old House of Commons, when borough nomination pre vailed, he did not think the sentiment prevailed that no confidence could be placed in the House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) He hoped the Government and the House of Commons would be aware that while the Chartists condemned the Corn-laws, they said they had no confidence in that House ; and if the House of Commons refused what was now asked, that evidence might be given at their bar on the subject of the Corn laws, they would do ten times more than the Chartists had ever yet done to induce people to believe there was no utility in petitioning them—( Hear)—and the blame would rest on their own heads.—(Hear.) Mr. BAINES, Delegate from Leeds, would mention one striking tact calculated to show the absurdity of the alarm felt by some of the landowners, that if the Corn laws were repealed England would be supplied alto gether with foreign corn. To import front abroad the whole of the grain consumed in this country would require the continual employnient of a navy twice as large as the whole mercantile navy of this country.—(Hear.) The difficulty of bringing corn from ebroad would i n crease in proportion to the quantity this c oun t ry required: The meeting then adjourned.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets, took place yesterday at the Court-house, Osborne. street, Whitechapel, for the purpose of considering t h e propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of thc. , Corn laws. At one o'clock the Chair was taken by Wit,LtAim TOOKE Esq. The present and late representatives for the Borough', William Clay, Esq., and Dr. Lushington, and scveral of the influential inhabitants of the district were present. Mr. CLAT moved that William Tooke, Esq., do take the chair. The motion being cruried unanimously, Mr. TOOKE said that he was happy on all occasions to render himself to the claims of the impor tant constituency of the Tower Hamlets—( Hear, hear)..._ but especially when the question was not merely on e o f a political nature, but a contest for existence itself. He felt that this question bad a claim on the attenti on et gentlemen of all shades of opiaion.—(Hear, h ear.) The conclusion he had come to was in favour of of a total repeal of the Corn-laws. He would not enter into the details by which he arrived at that conclusion, they had frequently been laid before them by the then only Repro. sentative of the Tower Hamlets. He would state to them the object of that meeting in the words of the petition it was proposed to present to the House for the abolition of the Corn-laws—namely, " That laws made to prevent the importation of corn are an encroachment of t h e few on therights ir ret u o r f n the o r many hi, ; i n tdhnesyt industry e ; p a r i n v a c thetiie labouring present a f a throughout this country proves that they injure the t O r p ad, f P this country, aud should no longer be follo we d." To e‘ti tion for the repeal of these laws was the pu r p ose for which they were assembled. He would now lay before them sho resolutions and petition. JOHN SIMPSON, Esq., a Magistrate of the county of Middlesex, moved the first resolution. The resolution was to the effect that the prosperity of every- commercial country like Great Britain depended upon its manufac tures, and that the flourishing state of agriculture must ultimately depend upon its manufactures.—(ch eers.) Twenty-five years had elapsed since peace has Prev a il e d throughout Europe, and yet the price of provision s to the labouring man was equally high then as now. —( Hear, hear.) It was high time such .4), state of things should be put an end to. Was it to be endured that the artisans and labourers of that country were to ba compelled to work eighteen or twenty hours a-day to ob tain only half the - supply of food that their co-artisans earned on the Continent? :Immediately after the peace in 181 b, and subsequently, in 1 821 to 1 0 8 n 2 s 8 i , d the e rat i c o a n se of or i : l h r o agriculturists was taken into the stihnec,ehtho country, Peace iniyaalsnetontieaenpd up p hc i principal ehgil opbrieecot of f f t c heenact H m e c a n r t , s passed was theo portion subject, of grain.—( and th e he communityvent u red whoseto as .

He trusted the time was not far distant when these laws would be repealed altogether. Then Englishmen would be en- • abled to start fair with the manufacturers of the Continent': It cost the corn-grower of the Continent 10s. a quarter to i m port food into Great Britain , and was not that pro_ section enough for ell British landowners ?—(l, oed cheers.) Indeed, it was more than, in justice and fair play to their fellow -creatures, they ought to hav e , Many supposed that the rents were now what they Were 50 or 64) years ago. No such thing. There was scarcely an estate in the kingdom which did not make double th-e rent it formerly did. If a stop were not put to the Present system, it would come to this, that the labouring people would leave the country—go abroad to the Continent, where they would get bread cheaper tihmaangintheeythcouldrpeproeCahlrseoffailtbia: home. It was absurd to Corn-laws would injure the landed interests; that was nothing but bigotry and prejudice.— (Ilear, bear.) /.. might be said that if bread was dear one time it way cheap at another ; but he asked what Was the use to a man of haring bread cheap in June, if were starving in February, and unable to purchase it? 57 (Loud cheers.) After expresing his entire concguertrteinnecOr: the resolution, Mr. Simpson concluded by submitting i t C o the c onsideration of the meeting. Mr. MARTINEAU seconded the resolution. A r , with it, as he did most completely, he should ha ve b e 'llg exceedingly sorry not to haze come forward to p ut e h e - n shoulder to the wheel, for the purpose of of laws so oppressive es the Corn-laws. Th e f ou - eda d , tiou of the p-esent Corn-laws was instituted in by which the importation of corn was totally 1815, Prevented when its price was below 735. When it was above that Price the duty was regulated at is., but if bel ow 70s. or 715., the duty was 103. 6d., which amounted to nothing , less than a prohibition. _(Hear, bear.) They asked MR.
