They have a notion that it must be a rich man with an estate to vote for a county, or some- A meeting of the Leagtv was held at Rochdale ot. body at least renting fifty acres of land. Now a rote for a county may be much more easily gained, and much more cheaply kept, than a vote for a borough. How few of you in this borough, now, can afford to take and keep a 101. house ; that is, how Wednesday night, in the New Hall, Baillie-street, preceded by a tea party, which was most numerousl, and respectably attended.

But, how many more of you can manage to lay out 401. or 501. in buying a cottage, and getting 7 or 8 per cent. for your money. It is your own ; the purchase money is invested instead of putting it into the savings' banks; you get your interest and your vote besides ; and you have not to pay something addi tional every year, but the investment is paying you something additional every year instead.—(Applause.) Now, seeing how much easier it is to have a county vote than a borough vote,' we come here to agitate, to try to indnce you, first of all, every man to get a borough vote, and then to get as many county votes as you can in addition ; and, next of all, to urge upon those who have not got a borough vote, to see and get a county vote as soon as they can.—(Cheers.) Don t let us talk bout theories for getting the fran chise in some gat svveep, which can be obtained some day, I don't know when ; but let us do some thing as well as talk ; let everybody who can manage to get a vote for the county, get it as soon as he can, and it will help him to get everything else make room for the whole company in the Hall, to take part in the meeting.

Frederick Lane, and Mr. Gibson. GEORGE WILSON, Esq., in taking the chair, ad verted to the progress of the League, and the nume rous fallacies it had lived to argue down. He con cluded his speech by saying.—The battle of free trade must be fought on free-trade principles alone, and the man who should strike his opinions on the day of trial, under any pretence, was little better than a monopolist.—(Loud applause.) They had petitioned, memorialised, and sent deputations in vain to Govern ment for the repeal of this law ; they had now changed their course of action ; they were now deter mined to work out their object through the registra tion courts, and calling upon their friends who could afford it to secure a vote, they would become inde pendent of Ministerial caprice, or the patronage of lofty names ; they were determined to rely upon their own strength, and when the day of contest should come, they would thus be able to measure strength with their antagonists, and obtain for the people of this country the second charter of their liberties— unrestricted commerce.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. COBDEN, M.P., was received with loud and protracted cheering. He spoke as follows :—Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen — l was saying to my friend Mr. Bright that I never spoke so badly any where as at Rochdale, and I never came here yet that I did not give you a very bad speech, and a very short one ; and I can promise you that I shall do no more to-night, and I can tell you what is the reason. When I have to speak, I like to fancy, at all events, that I have somebody to be convinced, or somebody opposed to me : I always had the impression that at Rochdale your minds were pretty well made up on the subject of the corn-laws, and your kind reception of me to-night convinces me more and more that I have no work to do here.—(Applause). It makes no matter what our errand may be; in going to some place to beg money one has to brace up one's nerves, and get up a face for the occasion ; but when we come to Rochdale to beg money—though I am happy to say we have not come to beg to-night—(Applause)— I am always sure to be told that the money has been all subscribed and collected in Rochdale for days before hand.—(Applause). And now, when our ob ject, as my friend in the chair has said, is to induce as many people in Rochdale as possible to become free ho:ders, and qualify themselves to vote in this and the neighbouring divisions of counties, I am told that somebody in the room has a book in which there are already down somewhere about 100 names of persons intending to become freeholders, so that our work is done before we begin to talk about it.—(Applause). Our chairman has told you correctly that the labours of the League have hitherto been those of prepara tion ; that is, they have been trying to convince the minds of their fellow-countrymen that free trade is a good thing, and the corn-laws very bad ones. But annething more than that must be done before we can convince the House of Commons ; for we have not all our own way there as here ; there is plenty of anta gonism there to raise a man's spirit for him.—(Ap plause). lie will hear all sorts of voices and sounds, except those pleasant and agreeable ones with which you treat me here. We sometimes receive the treatment you would oxpect to receive amongst a body of newly-caught New Zealanders.—(Laughter and applause.) Now you cannot change that opinion by any argument ; you may, perhaps, convince some of them, but I never knew any con verts made by argument ; If they are convinced, they still don't change. Only one argument goes down in that House ; it is, as Mr. Gisborne once said, a ma• jority ; no other argument but a majority goes down there.—(Applause.) Now, we want to alter the ma jority in that House ; and that is to he done out of the House, and not in it. It is to be done not merely by converting some of those who make Members of Parliament, but by adding as many as possible to those who are qualified to elect representatives. Hitherto we have been an Anti-Corn-law League, instructing the People, an d agitating them about free trade ; now, I really thi n k we are going to take my friend Sharman C raw f or d's business out of his hands, and advocate an extension of the suffrage.— (Applause.) We want to persuade our fellow-coun trymen to buy the property that will qualify them to vote ; and I most sincerely wish that every head of a family in this country was worth the money neces sary to buy that vote. But that is much easier done than many people suppose. Another meridian has dawned upon us within the last few months. We pledged ourselves some time ago to contest the boroughs and try what we could do to gain them ; but it never occurred to us that we could win counties in this country. And yet with 252 county Members in the House, and not six of them voting for free trade, it has occurred to us that unless we can make some change there, we shall not be likely to get a majority in that House.—(Hear, hear.) Now I be lieve the counties may be won in many instances, as I have before said, much easier than the little pocket boroughs. There has been a great misapprehension, both as to the nature of the county representation, and the means by which votes may be had for a county. We have all that superstitious notion about land owners and land, so that people in the towns have right and just that he wants Co get.—(Applause.) little while ago there was an election for North Lancashire. Well, Mr. Towneley Parker, a leading ,nan among the squires—not a very wise man you iuppose—it does not require a very wise man to lead that order—(Applause and laughter)—in addressing the constituency at one of the towns, said, "I should .ike to see any one come forward here to oppose Mr. Talbot Clifton. Look at the requisition that has been presented to him! it is signed by people whose in come amounts to 400,0001. a year, and I should like to know who would contend against such an amount of influence as that."

Now, this is the old superstition de rived from feudal times, which it behoves us to get rid of.—(Applause.) What is the county representa tion ? Not the representation of acres, or cattle, or sheep.

The counties belong to the towns, and not the towns to the counties ; aad to the towns ought to belong the county representation.—(Ap plause.) I believe England is the only country in the world having a constituency form of government ►here the distinction has been kept up of votes for counties and votes for boroughs ; in all other coun- tries with which I am acquainted, the votes are given from sections of country, or by a population of par ticular districts ; but in no other country is the ab surdity continued of sending one description of re presentatives for the towns and another for the counties. 'We have derived this from our own feudal system ; it sprung up at a time when there was a ge neral belief, and when probably that belief was founded on something like fact, that there was an antagonism between the interests of towns and the interests of counties ; in fact, when our representative system first dawned in this country there was an antagonism PRICE and CO.;RIPO PHAGON surpasses every soap ever invented for shaving.

The towns were the residences of men who had attained a certain amount of freedoin, having escaped from the clutches of their feudal: lords ; the counties were still ill their hands ; and whilst the towns sent up their citizens, their bur gesses, to vote in Parliament, the feudal lords and the counties sent up their knights of the shire to vote in Parliament also; and they were at times very much at war with each other, having separate and distinct rights. But all that is gone by; nobody pretends now that the people in eounties can have different interests from those in boroughs ; and what I want to bring to your conviction is, that as there is but one common interest in county and town, you have an undoubted right to take an interest in the representation of the counties; and, in fact, it cannot be a representation of the county unless it represents the large towns in the county.—(Applause.)

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noan, and Nigkt, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. English people hereditarily are to rank and wealth, you have so alienated the respect and confidence of the great bulk of the propertied class—the middle class—round you, that you have no more poli tical power in the country than so many paupers in a union workhouse."—(Hear, and loud cheers.) Now, what Ills been done in South Lancashire— done, as it were, in a canter—is nothing to what we will do in future. They talk of recovering their lost ground next year : I tell them, for their consolation, bad as they are upon this registry, they will be a thousand times worse upon the next.—(Applause.) But this good system won't stop in Lancashire : already, in the West Riding of Yorkshire they have caught the contagion, and they are meeting in every town and large village in the West Riding. I have no hesitation in saying, that North Cheshire will be as easily won as South Lancashire ; there are only 5,000 or so upon the registry there ; not one-half of the people who are subscribers to the League and free- traders in that county are upon the register. And why should not we, in Manchester ' and Oldham, and Rochdale, send our contingent of free-traders across ,he Mersey to help them out of their trouble there ? 7 (Applause.) . North Cheshire, the West Riding of Yorkshire, and North Lancashire, must be the neat counties to follow the example of South Lancashire. 'I hen there's Middlesex ; I did not think the Cock- neys would be easily moved, but I hear they are catching the infection in London ; they are proposing to add 500 or 1,000 fresh voters for the county of Middlesex before the 31st of January.—(Applause.) Now, it is a shame that there should be any doubt about the representation of that county. If the people of London had only a notion how easily they could qualify, and how they are wanted t 9 qualify, they would have ten times the strength necessary to secure the county of Middlesex to the free-traders ; and I doubt not it will be effectually done. Now, we shall be told that this is very unconstitutional, if it is not illegal—that is, that we should be adding to the con stituency of the country. Why, what does Sir Robert Peel say ? " Register, register, register ;" and we are about taking his advice.—(Loud applause.) But you cannot register, register, register, till you have obtained a qualification to be put upon the register. Now, the very plan that he proposed for increasing his strength, and the strength of his motley party in the polling-booth, is the plan we propose in our case ; but we do not endeavour or intend to do that which the monopolist lords and :squires have done; V that is, not to make fictitious, to put spurious and fictitious votes upon the register.—(Hear.) We have no conve nient gamekeepers, or park lodgekeepers, whom we can cram on—no sons, or brothers, or nephews of farmers, whom we can compel to register, and to swear that they are partners, if necessary, when they are no more partners than I am.—(Applause.) What I say is this—lay out 401. or 501. in property which will bring you in 41. or 51. a year, and get yourselves upon the county register, and have a vote : Now, I was not born and bred a lawyer ; but I will defy all the lawyers in the land, including Mr. Smith, the Irish Attorney-General—(Loud laughter)—to prove that there's any illegality in a man buying a freehold property that will give him a vote, along with in terest for his money.—(Applause.) 'Whether it is constitutional or unconstitutional I don't profess ex actly to understand ; for I never yet knew anything good in this country got—whether it was abolishing the old boroughmongering system, or getting rid of Catholic disabilities, or of the Test and Corporation Acts, or abolishing the hanging of people for a matter of five shillings—(Loud applause)—l never knew anything good of that kind accomplished in the shape of reform, but there was one party in the State— that party who used to be led on by the venerable Lord Eldon—who were always sure to get out their white pocket handkerchiefs, begin a crying, and de clare that if that measure passed, the Constitution would be irretrievably ruined.—(Loud applause.) Now, I don't profess to know what is constitutional; but if there be anything unconstitutional in becoming a county voter, I think, as there happen to be already a great many 403. freeholders, the constitution has been pretty much tried in that point already.—(Ap plause.) But I would guard you against supposing that there is anything like trick, or manoeuvre, or anything savouring of finesse, in endeavouring to increase the voters on the register. It is in accord ance with the spirit as well as with the letter of the law that men should aim at becoming voters. Why is 40s. mentioned, and not 101., as it is, unhappily, in Ireland and Scotland ? Why, because it is considered that a man, having the intelligence, and the spirit, and the desire to possess 40s. a year of interest for an investment, will be a prudent, careful, thoughtful man, who will be likely to send proper representa tives ; and, therefore the qualification is fixed at that amount.—(Applause.) It holds out an invitation to every man who has the means to qualify himself, and become a voter for representatives in Parliament. And I cannot Imagine anything more calculated to do good to that honest and large class of operatives who cannot afford to live in a 101. house, and who yet ought not to be excluded from the franchise—l cannot imagine anything more calculated to raise them as a class in their own estimation (and you cannot raise a man unless by raising him in his own estimation), than by inducing and persuading as many of them as possible to possess themselves of the county franchise, by investing their savings in a freehold purchase.—(Applause.) You thus do good not only to those who are encou raged to save money with such a prospect, but to a large class besides, amongst whom you scatter men who have themselves obtained a vote, and who will act as missionaries in tryi ng t o i n d uce th ose w ith with whom they work—stimulating them by example and by a spirit of rivalry—also to become free holders, and therby have a vote in the representation of the country.—(Applause.) In every point of view, then, we see nothing but good to result from the movement we have now undertaken ; I look upon it with the greatest interest, because I think we have tapped a new vein, as it were, in this agitation, one that I am sure will be productive of the best possible results, not only to our agitation (for many things want doing besides corn-law repeal, and others will do here no doubt better than we have been able to do this), but I see the greatest advantage to arise from increasing the basis of our representative system, by giving us many additional voters, and particularly by those whose desire of being enfranchised will induce them to lay by a share of their earnings, in order that they may obtain the necessary qualification. Gentle men, I don't think I need to say more on the subject to convince you, for I understand you are already convinced, and that a very large number are already prepared to obtain the qnalification. I don't think I need to say anything on the progress of our cause, or as it regards the main ar guments!in connexion with our question. You know we have rather changed the aspect of affairs in this country; manufactures are now up in in this draw well ; the bucket of the farmers is going down empty, and ours is coming up a little more full. We are in a sort of intermittent fever in this country ; the ague is at one extremity to-day, the cola shiver at the other extremity to-morrow.—(llear, hear.) And this is the natural result of a system which sets the laws of nature at defiance. But bear this in mind : whilst your spindles are at work, if report speaks truly, profitably at work just now, there is that going on in the agricultural districts which will assuredly bring those spindles in a short time to a stand-still, or make them revolve with little profit. You hear at agricultural meetings of the want of employment for the labourers ; and the farmers cannot employ them because they have not money to pay them. Why cannot they employ and pay them ? They have had a good harvest ; every body admits that they have had a most splendid crop ; and when they have been favoured by nature with an abundant harvest, how is it they cannot afford to employ their labourers and go on cultivating ? Simply for this reason—they have taken their land at a rent calculated at 565. or 60s. a quarter, and they are now selling it in the country places at about 425. per quarter.—(Applause.) But in those places where the farmers have taken their land on a corn rent— that is to say, to pay so many quarters of corn for their rent, whatever the price of wheat may be, as the farmers in a great part of Scotland are doing, and on Lord Radnor's estates ;in Wiltshire—very much 0 that nobleman's credit—they are doing very well in deed, and making more money than when wheat was high. I have got here a letter from a leading farmer in Iladdingtonshire, a district of the Scotch Lothians, where farming is carried to such perfection, and he tells me that the farmers were never doing better in Haddingtonshire, where they pay rent in proportion to their produce—that is to say, if a man engages to pay two hundred quarters of wheat as rent for two hundred acres of land, if wheat is 50s. a quarter, he pays 500/., if it is 40s. he pays only 4001 : ; and thus it makes no difference to him whether his produce is high or low, only there is this advantage, he always must prosper when wheat is low, and he is able to pay his labourers better after a good harvest than when corn is dear.—(Applause.) What does this prove ? That all the distress of the farmers in the SILVER-PLATED DISH COVERS. B.

" We regard the work before us ' The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing mo s t c l ear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. Wesnust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer. ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." —Age and Argus. " Tee Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this hook is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

A minute detail of cases is ne cessary. Messrs.

Mr. Towneley Parker's father finds it necessary to make up his hind into farms of 400 or 500 acres, and to get Scotchmen with money to manage them, in order that he may get his rent. Now, I'll suppose that they have this 400,0001. a year let in farms of 1001. a year each, and that they had their 4,000 tenants-at-will; and we'll suppose that they command the votes of all of them. This 400,0001. a year of landed property represents a capital at thirty years' purchase (which land is worth) of twelve millions. Twelve millions of money, pay ing 400,0001. a year of rent, let to 4,000 tenants-at will at 1001. a year, gives 4,000 votes. Now let us see how many votes may be owned in the towns in North Lancashire—Blackburn, Lancaster, Preston, Citheroe, andlthe rest, and what will they cost ? Why 4,000 votes at 50/, each, of capital, mind you (for you may buy a vote, I mean the property that will give you a vote, quite easily)-4,000 people might qualify themselves at 501. each of capital, which would be 200,000/. Thus, the mere investment of 200,000/. in cottage property in any town in North Lancashire would just give the same power to the owners of that property in the polling-booths as Mr. Townley Parker and his brother squires get, by invest ing their twelve millions in the land.—(Applause.) Well now, if these squires will come out, and swagger, and point to their requisition, and say, " See what an amount of interest it represents, how can you stand against such an amount of influence as this ?"—I say, Town against county—plain pantaloons against top-boots and breeches, if you will."—(Loud ap plause and laughter.) And I have no doubt, if we can only raise our fellow-countrymen to that feeling of self-respect which I long to see within them, that that the towns are better prepared now to make a fight in this constitutional and peaceful way, against the squirearchy, who are attempting to retain a por tion of that old feudal barbarism which is exploded in every country in the world—money for money in the polling-booth—than ever our ancestors were when hey knocked them out of those old castles of theirs, and brought their houses about their ears.—(Loud applause.) We have tried what can be done in South Lancashire, and don't suppose, because we happen to have so many large towns in South Lancashire, that therefore we fight those landed monopolists atso much greater advantage than the free-traders would have in some other counties. For it does so happen, that in Lancashire and Cheshire there is a greater num ber of large proprietors exercising a predomi nant sway in the counties than in any other part of the kingdom. That is acknowledged and understood everywhere. If you ask in London where the largest, and richest, and most powerful landed proprietors are to be found, they'll tell you in North Cheshire and in Lancashire, where you'll find your Lord Derbys, with their estates of eleven miles long ; your Scarris brick, where you may ride ten or twelve miles at a stretch over his property ; and your Egerton, of Tat ton, with a similar extent of domain—the largest and most powerful proprietors in the country.—(Ap plause.) And it is against them that we have had to contend in Lancashire, and to contend, too, mind you, before we had even thought of putting into force the plan we are new recommending, of bring ing up all the free-traders to be put on the register, by inducing them to qualify for this holy war against monopoly. Well, in South Lancashire, under all these disadvantages, we hare tried our strength against the monopolists; and you know the result.— (Applause.) And it has not been long in doing either. Thanks to our friend Mr. Brown—(Applause) —for having come forward to fight a forlorn hope ; for I, having been behind the scenes, can tell you that neither Mr. Brown, nor some other people who must be nameless, had the least idea that we could win last time. I don't know whether, when I was here, I told you any fibs, and said that we should; but you know in electioneering, as in love, you may say anything.—(Applause and laughter.) But Mr. Brown knew he had no chance of winning last time ; nevertheless, he threw himself nobly into the battle ; he very admirably managed his canvass, and showed the utmost munificence in maintaining his share of the expenses of the contest.—(Applause.) He knew he could not win ; but I think he has a shrewd guess now that he'll win next thne.—(Loud applause.) Well, we tried our strength in South Lancashire; and I'll tell you what happened. Every landed pro prietor of any magnitude, Whig or Tory, with the exception—and a splendid exception it was—of Lord Sefton, went dead against us.—(Hear, hear.) There was one gentleman down at Liverpool, or the neigh bourhood, a Catholic, who had been so staunch a Liberal in times when the only test we put to people was " Civil and religious liberty all over the world," that he used to come into Liver pool and take the chair for the Liberals at Lord Molineux's Committee.—(Hear, hear.) At the last election they went to him naturally, and asked him to do so again. The answer got was, " This is quite another question now : this is not civil and reli gious liberty ; ' and they learnt, in short, that the gentleman had turned corn-servative.—(Applause and laughter.) Yes, and a good many more turned corn servatives too.—(Hear.) I was in the polling-booth, at which I saw a gentleman there who used to be a flaming patriot of the " civil and religious liberty" school not more than eight years ago, and who took the chair at our committees for Lord Molineux and Mr. Wood, in Manchester. lie came to the poll and he said—" Mr. Entwisle, I vote against the League— that's all."—(Laughter.) Now, that was a shabby fellow.—(Loud applause and laughter.) I'll tell you why; because he had not the courage to say, like other men, " I am a corn-servative," but he tried to escape by picking a quarrel with the League.—(Ap plause.) All shabby men do that.—(Loud applause.) If a man wants an excuse for doing what he knows is wrong, he picks a quarrel with the League, and says —" lam against the League."—(Hear.) Now, this squire voted for Entwisle because he thought it suited his pockit to vote for Entwisle ; and he is not only a shabby man, but a profoundly ignorant one ; he did not know his own true interest, or he would have voted for Brown.—(Applause.) That was the people we had opposed to us at the last election ; they all went over. And we had the traitors at our own door too, men of our own order—men who, as Mr. Bright says, opened the gates of the citadel by night, as it were, and let the enemy in.—(Applause.) We had then all against us. And now I will tell you what we can do ; we can put our foot, the foot of the Anti- Corn-law League, upon the neck of every one of them. —(Loud applause.) Aye, we will say so to the proudest of the aristocrats amongst them who uphold this iniquitous system of corn-laws—" At the next election we will prove that you, by identifying ' your selves with this vile system, you, with your ten or twelve miles' extent of territory, have so forfeited the respect of those around you, that, devoted as the // _ ~t~~ south of England arises from th e ir h av i n been foo'ish enough to engage to pay refits calculated upon wheat at 60s. a quarter, while they only get 425. for it. And all that you hear about the malt-tax, and other devices that the farmers are apt to run after, is just merely a pretence to keep these poor farmers amused, and prevent them inquiring into the subject of rent. —(Applause.) But, mark me ; if the farmers are distressed, they cannot be cultivating their land. You hear of forty labourers in one parish trooping off to the union workhouse.—(Hear, hear.) Another case is where an unfortunate suicide occurred the other day, in the parish of Byslip, which contains 700 acres, and where there are only 100 men em ployed, at Bs. or 10s. a week. Suppose it is 10s.; this only amounts to 501. a week, or 2,500/. a year, of wages paid upon 700 acres of land. Why the smallest of your individual concerns pay about as much wages as that parish of 700 acres. Do you suppose that land can be well cultivated? No ; there can be neither proper ploughing, harrowing, nor sowing going on. And what will be the conse quence ? Just the same as has always ensued. In three years after an abundant crop, without an ex ception, I believe, since 1815, when this system of corn-laws began, we have had a reaction, or some thing like a famine ; and you have the seeds of that scarcity sowing now. It will come as assuredly as we exist; and when it does come, in consequence of the increase of the population, and the extension of your mills (for they are building mills elsewhere as well as at Rochdale), you will be caught with a severer check, a much greater amount of suffering and disaster than you have ever been before. Now, this is the motive why you should work while you have the sunshine, and not neglect the present oppor tunity —(Applause)—and I am glad to know that in good seasons or in bad seasons, in prosperity or in adversity, the people of Rochdale are always true to this as to other sound principles, and that you at least are determined, if your exertions can avert it, that the system of corn• laws shall not continue to bring upon this district those heavy disasters which only within the last three or four years it has been our misery to undergo. The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering. Winuam BROWN, Esq. (late candidate for the re presentation of South Lancashire), was next called upon, and received with great enthusiasm. We give an extract from his speech. During his late canvas, he stated, on several occasions, some facts regarding the commercial position of this country with the United States of America, and with their permission he would now further allude to the subject. In 1805, 1806, and 1807, our exports to that country were nearly 8,000,000/. par annum. The popula tion of that country was then six millions. It was nearly one-third of the whole export trade of the kingdom, if we took the official value. Embargos, orders in council, and other decrees, interrupted the trade for several years after that ; and in 1815 came those abominable corn-laws, which were daily shut ting us out of the best markets of the world, and, by inducing retaliation, were a positive injury not only to the manufacturers of this country, but to the par ties for whose protection and advantage they were designed.—(Applause.) Looking at the intercourse of this country with the United States from 1833 to 1837, hp found that eur exports had increased from 7,900,0001. to 8,400,000/., while in the succeeding five years it had fallen to 6,467,086/., and in the succeed ing year (1842) to 3,528,000/.—(Hear, hear.) Apd when he told the meeting that our cora-laws, and our heavy duties on tobacco and timber, had induced them to retaliate, by encouraging manufactures at home, so that it had been recently ascertained, on the authority of statistics collected by Government itself, that these home manufactures amounted to 50,000,000/. sterling per annum, and that they had engaged at work no less than 2,585 fulling mills, and 1,420 woollen ma nufactories, it would be seen to what an extent we had been injured by our unwise and insane protective policy.—(Hear, hear.) But the markets of the United States would not have been long limited to even this population ; the population there was increasing at the rate of 35 per cent., and ere the end of a century would probably be equal to about 100 millions ; and these were people we should not have sacrificed our trade with, when the only obstacle to their continuing to deal with us was the condition that we should take in payment that which alone they were able to pay with.—(Hear, hear.) He might give them some idea of what our trade with the States might ultimately have reached, when he told them that one of its rivers alone (the Mississippi), with its tributaries and streams, had a shore to which our goods might have been carried of upwards of 58,000 miles.—(Hear.) And did the landed interest pretend that our trade with that country would not have promoted their prosperity ? Why, commerce had made them what they were—(Hear, hear) and upon what principle would they argue that its further prosperity would work to their injury ? It might be interesting to consider what a people under prosperous circum stances could consume of agricultural produce, and he found it stated that the consumption of the people of the United States amounted to about 27 bushels of grain per head, with five bushels of potatoes, while the consumption of this country was only 16 bushels of grain, with a proportionate amount of potatoes. — (Hear, hear.) The landowners fell into the error of supposing that the consumption of the people was a fixed quantity ; the example of the United States showed that the consumption of a people in food, as well as in other things, was in proportion to their ineans.—(Hear, hear.) He found that the total number of houses in the United States was 1,300,000, while in England we had 849,147—n0t half the quantity in proportion to the population. He denied the argument of the monopolists, that as we relaxed in our restrictions on commerce other countries would adopt a more stringent course, and as evidence he would point to the opinion expressed by the Prussian Minister on the subject, and to that of Mr. Adding ton, the American Minister; and even if Mr. Clay, who was in favour of the retaliative system, were lected President, he much doubted if he would be able to Carry out his object.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., was received with most vehe ment cheering. After it had subsided, he said, amongst other things, the passing of the Reform 841 did little or nothing to promote the repeal of the corn law. After that Bill passed, Lord Melbourne him elf declared that no Ministry could touch the corn laws without settling its own doom ; and from the experience we have had since we may be quite sure that what he said was perfectly correct. But the scene seems altogether to have changed now. We have no sense of hopelessness now ; everything around us betokens that we are coming to the end of our labours.—(Applause.) 'We find accessions to our ranks every day, every hour, and defections from the ranks of our opponents; and we, who formerly durst scarcely raise our voices in favour of this great prin ciple of industry, now find that there is no intelligent in - an in the country who upholds any opposite grin ciple, except upon some ground of temporary expedi ency. Political questions such as those which oc cupied the minds of this people some twelve or fifteen years ago, are of that exciting character as rather to drive the people from contemplating, with all the at tention which they deserve, questions of an econo mical character ; and yet it may be asserted, without fear of contradiction, that on questions of political economy the existence and the prosperity of this country depend. We may have a government main taining order—that I hold to be its first duty—and distributing justice with somewhat of impartiality to all the people ; that I hold to be also a very high and important duty of a government; but we must have a government also which understands questions of political economy, and those principles which serve to preserve the national industry free; or, whatever be the theory of the Constitution, it is utterly impos sible that we should advance and be permanently pros perous.—(Loud applause.) Now we must bear in mind that the tyrannies of this age are not of the same character as those which existed in ages that are past. Our forefathers had to contend sword in hand for the liberties which they possessed ; they were aitacked by the sword, and they defended them selves by the sword; and many liberties, no doubt, they preserved, which, under the circumstances, per haps, could not have been otherwise secured. Bar barous ages had barbarous means of action. In this age, however, wrong and bloodshed are, to some ex tent, avoided, and we have tyranny coming before us in another shape, feebler as it becomes older ; bnt if feebler much more subtle.—(Applause.) IVe have tyranny, cunning plausible, deceitful, insidious, through the means of Acts of Parliament; and, under the pretence of benefiting a people, the most precious of the national rights are invaded.—(Applause.) Now, our grievances are, for the most part, of a class that may be termed economical. We shall have other questions to settle, doubtless, when the corn-law question is disposed of ; but there is no question in which the people of this country have so immediate and direct a concern as in the question of that tra , le. —(Dear, hear.) There are other public questions in some degree affecting the liberty of the subject, or the libeezy of conscience, but they are not actually questions of that concernment that you cannot live until they are settled; but this is on?, without the settlement of which a large proportion of the people are pauperised and pressed down, so that from a vast multitude of persons you can receive almo s t no assistance in the battle you are waging with those above you for other rights of which you are de• prived..—(Applause.) The existence of monopolie and the unfair distribution of the national imposts, appear tea me to be those evils with which we have more to do than with anything else. We have liberty in this country equalling the liberty of all other countries in some respects. We have the t l'be f liberty o thought ; we are free to speak, free to write, free to meet to discuss all questions of national importance, and we may agitate and combine, and, by all peaceable means, force the Government into the views which we entertain. But though we have all this liberty— ' a libert,zi which few nations possess to so great an ex- "
