We now give a full report. The usual meekly meeting of the League was held on 'I litirsday night, in Covent-garden Theatre. The attendance was as large as en previous occasions. A t seven o'clock the Chair was taken by the Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P., when the following gentlemen were on the platform J. Fox, Esq., Joseph Parkes Esq., W. A. Wilkinson, Esq., Ralph Ricardo, Esq., J. P. Burnard, Esq., W. D. Christie, M.P. , P. A. Taylor, Esq., Dr. Cooke Taylor, T. F. Gibson, Esq. ' S. G. Hall, Esq., Patterson, Esq., Preston, Esq , W. S.

(Westbury, Wilts), R. Overbury, Esq. (Westbury, Wilts), W. H. Birchall, Esq. ( London), H. Birchall, Esq. (Leeds), M. H. Barnett, Esq., Michael Stocks, Esq. (Hali fax), Henry Edwards, Esq., Fullerton, Esq., Joseph Ro binson, Esq., Richard W. Cole, Esq., James Harmer, Esq., Professor Key, &c., &c. The Citaittatest on coining forward was received with re peated rounds of applause. On silence beit:g restored, he ob served that his esteemed friend, Mr. Wilson, who commonly presides with so much ability at these meetings, was he re gretted to say, unavoidably detained in the country ; and he had requested of him to occupy the chair in his absence, though he felt himself incompetent to discharge the duty with any thing like the ability of his esteemed friend. Yet he readily complied with the request, as he was unwilling to urge on others the discharge of those duties which he was not ready to perform himself ; and the time was come, when every friend to this great cause should come forward, and by all arid every constitutional means, promote the views of this important, this necessary Association. The objects of the National Anti- Corn-law League are, as they believed, identified with the best interests of the kingdom at large; but unfortunately a selfish interest, represented by adverse majorities in both Houses of Parliament, frustrates those beneficial objects, and therefore it became necessary for them to exert themselves the more; for we live in times when the "force of enlightened public opinion is all-important, and the League represents that opinion."—( Hear, hear.) The gross misrepresentations of the objects of the League, which have been made by their oppo nents, exhibit at one and the same time the alarm of their op ponents in the weakness of their cause, and the force and power of the Anti-Corn-law League in the soundness of their views and the excellence of their objects. The objects of the League are to demonstrate to the people, and the nation at large, the benefits of those great principles applied to trade which have been recommended by the wisest and best minds, and which are now so loudly called for by the necessities of the country— principles which have been advocated and recommended by men of the highest eminence for talent and ability, and of the greatest practical knowledge in this country. Therefore it was, that notwithstanding what their opponents may allege, he said that it was for the promotion of these principles, and on these grounds alone, that the League claimed the support of all sensible and right-treaded men.— (Loud cheers.) Since the last meeting of the League in that place, he had heard that a word now so common in stifling the cries of an injured people in the sister country—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear,")—he meant, " Conspiracy"—(Loud cheers)—had been applied to the meetings of that Association in that theatre.—(Laughter. ) How far the word was justly applied to their assemblages there he could not pretend to say—(Renewed laughter)—but certainly it was no wonder when they considered the objects they had in view that their opponents should be alarmed, for it stands upon the high authority even of an eminent Secretary of State, that the doctrines they contend for are the doctrines of common sense—and anything-more likely to be dangerous to the power of their opponents than the prevalence of common sense he could not conceive. Whatever misapprehensions may have gone abroad regarding the proceedings of the League, it is certain notwithstanding, that the League is making great progress, and that common sense is about to prevail--(Hear, and laughter)— for something like common sense is required to oppose the views of the League, and to satisfy them that misery is not now increasing with increasing numbers, and that those evils are not fostered by those who have an interest in main taining them. When common sense sees that the progress of the League is opposed by.vulgar abuse, when it sees industry denied its proper exertion and rewards, and the necessitous uneme ployed, then will common sense prevail.—(Cheers.) When capital shall be entitled to its fair profit without the mischievous intermeddling of a one-sided law, when the rich and idle shall be content with their own ; when such doctrines prevail, then will common sense and common honesty prevail.—( Cheers.) Then will all those in authority be secure, happy, and content in the midst of a thankful people. These were the results they looked for, and therefore it was that he gave his humble efforts in promoting the objects of the League. As be had just seen one of their veterans come on to the platform, he would not detain them longer. They would be addressed by one who was always at his post—ever steady at his gun—ever to be found when wrong was to be put down and oppression opposed—he meant Mr. Hume.--(Cheers.) Mr. HumE, M.P., then came forward, and was received with great applause. He said, that however too complimen tary may have been the remarks of his Hon. Friend, he had stated one truth with respect to him—it was true he was a veteran in the cause —he had been for very many years an anxious labourer in promoting the great objects the Anti- Corn-law League has in view. It was with great satisfaction that he and they must look back at the progress tlhey had made, and the converts that had joined them, for he remembered that when he proposed a fixed duty on corn only fourteen years ago, out of a House of 600 Members, he could get but thirteen Members to vote with him. The prese nt salutary change had been brought about by sett i ng forth the objects of the League, and the more those objects were examined and discussed, the more would their views be p romo ted and adopted. — (Loud cheers.) He came i n late to that meeting, but he de layed to see enter the House one who was indeed a veteran in the service of the people.—(Loud cheers, and cries o f " O ' Conne ll, O'Connell.") He assured the meeting that one of his great motives in coming there that evening, was to express his public opinion as to the principles on which those gentlemen in Dublin were put upon their trial. The same may be applied to this country, and no one is safe if they dare to push such principles.—( Hear, hear.) So it was most desirable to p romo te the great objec t s of the League, and it was therefore particularly incumbent on them to see how other public' meetings had been interfered with.— ( Hear, hear.) A great change had taken place in the opinion of their opponents ; formerly it was held that the food of the earth was for the benefit of the labourer, but their opponents seem to think that it was only fit to be taxed to keep up t can rents , but a great forwa r d s tep has been made. now ask them, " What right have you landlord o catals t a than greater protection and a higher interest o any other set of men in the community . n " " ur p i lt was for the people alone to say how long such an 712irrstlliceu,mfeorthiennjusptrioce. it is, will be permitted to continue. • ceeded to contrast Sir Robert Peel's recent declaration in re ference to the corn - laws with the Right Hon. Baronet's pro fessions on introducing the Tariff Bill, and deplored Sir Robert Peel's want of firmness in allowing himself to be dictated to by the monopolists, and the Honourable Member then went on to expatiate on the anomalous condition of this country, which, with such incalculable resources, still abounds with so much misery among the working population ; and the reme dies for such a calamitous state of things would, he contended, be found only in the exertions of the League—in the abolition of monopolies of every kind and description ; and he knew of no reason why every honest Englishman should not join them ; and so long as they violated no l a w, use th e i r most strenuous efforts to rid the country of these obnoxious monopolies ; and he knew no reason why the capital of the landlord should have more protection than the capital of the manufacturer or the merchant, and he pointed out the fallacy of the doctrine that yea mive .not to look t o f ore i gn importa tions, but to the home market alone, fur the food of our great and increasing population.—( Hear, hear.) And where, then, he asked, are you to get an outlet for our manufactures which give employment to the great mass of the working popula tion ? The question of free trade had, he said, now become the important question with dth h e free in dividuals in the country, ane portended cala mities, if the principles of trade were not soon adopted, so as to give emyloyment and food to the worki ng c l asses, and he deplored that the energies of such an enterprising and indus trious people should not have an enlarged field arid free scope. He called upon the people to be prep are d at t h e r.ext dissolution of Parliament to send in free-traders ; it was there the great battle was to be fought, and he apprehended but little good would result from the proceedi ngs o f the present House of Commons in the direction of free trade. He then said, he hoped the time would never com e , w h en we should be confined to the produce of our own land, for the support of our increasing population, as it was most necessary, as that population increas e d, t o procure for them increased employment and food from abroad. At the same time, let no man be told that the -foreign market in the best market, for, in speaking of it in one sense, there is no difference between the home and foreign market. If a man thinks that he will get more money for his goods at home, he will dispose of them at home , and also, if he thinks he will sell them better in a foreign market, he will not sell them at home. He (Mr. Hume) believed that it was for the interest of every man that the measures proposed by the Anti-Corn-law League were constructed, and that there was never adopted a course more beneficial to every class than that adopted by the League, and in that course they would continue.—(Cheers.) It was the business of every man—there was no man, from the beggar to the Peer, whose interests were not involved in it ; and he believed, in his conscience, that th e l anded propr i etors have suffered greatly, and will suffer more, by the continuation of these laws. He was informed that in Ireland already the grazing lands were immensely reduced, in consequence of the English not having capital enough to p urc h ase the i r catt l e. There ought to be no prohibition to the fruit of the labour, , ingenuity, and industry of the Englishman —(Cheers.) The object of the Anti-Corn•law League in seeking for a repeal of • the corn-laws, was not only to obtain a free trade in corn, but to obtain free trade in everything else; they put food forward in this instance on account of its great importance, knowing well that free trade in everything else would speedily follow. He would express a hope that every person who was present listening to him would cmisider that it was for his own indivi dual interest that ha was seeking for free trade in corn, for in twelve months afterwards they would have free trade in everything. Follow down even to the beggar in the street, and they would find that they were looking to his interest also. The time, he hoped, would come when all parties would agree on this subject ; at present their opponents were strong in wickedness, and they were strong in truth.—( Loud cheers. ) The Hon. Gentleman then thanked the meeting for the kind - manner in which they had received him, and resumed his seat amidst loud and enthusiastic cheers of applause. Mr. VILLIERS then introduced to the meeting Mr. William Dougal Christie, the Member for Weymouth, and took occa sion to say that he was one of the few Members who during last session of Parliament had the courage to take an independent part on the subject of the corn-laws. After loud cheering, Mr. CHRISTIE, M.P., addressed the meeting. He congratu lated the meeting on the fact, that against these meetings no Go ,neawnd-falanuggiehdtelrin.e) ovferenornnsepnitrparcoyelhaamdatyioetn beenhacl yientrbeneetendi._ssir Hear, Two nights ago he had heard the Secretary of State for the Home Department utter a sentence, which lie accompanied with his most significant look, and on the words of which much study had been evidently bestowed, which, if it was not intended as a mere clap-trap, to raise a party cheer, or to insult by a dark insinuation what he dare not openly attack, must have been meant as a warning to the Anti-Corn-law League.—( Laughter.) After saying that the altered cireirnstances of the times re quired an alteration in the law of conspiracy, and quoting a maxim of Madame de Steel, which he and the Duke of Wel lington thought most profound, he said, that " now-a-days leaguers held their meetings in theatres, and conspirators build Conciliation Halls to disseminate sedition."—(Cheers, and laughter.) All that he could say in answer to that was, that the Anti-Corn-law League had'not as yet frightened the Home office with any sham military proclamation ; the Council of the League contineed to address in plain terms, men of plain understanding ; and Mr. Cobden head e d no Anti Corn-law cavalry.—( Laughter.) It was not from Sir James Graham that this declaration against the Anti-Corn-law League might have been expected. The League without taking any par ticular trouble to ascertain his opinions, had had hitherto one reason for thinking that they were honoured with his confidence and good opinion.—(Laughter.) When, last year, the League began to hold its meetings in theatres, tho s e wh o conducted the arrangements unexpectedly found, that the police force which always attended the theatres when they were opened for the purposes of the legitimate drama, were not to be allowed to attend on the occasions when the League met there, in con sequence of a special order of the Home-office to that effect.— ( Great laughter.) Mr. Wilson made particular application to the head of the metropolitan police for their assistance, but it was refused in consequence of the order in question, and up to that day there had not been a single policeman present at their meetings. From this it was to be inferred that he who presided over the Home-office was satis fied of the legal and orderly character of the meetings of the League.—( Great laughter.) The Government appeared to be exulting over the success of their proceedings in Ireland, but it would be better for them to wait to see that success, instead of boasting of it in the absence of that great man before whose power they quailed when they granted Catholic Eman cipation. Before they sung their song of triumph they should wait for the final issue of their proceedings.—( Hear, hear. ) At all events, if they now prepared another indictment against the League, and endeavoured to apply thei r new d oc t r i ne o f conspiracy, founded on Madame do Stael's maxim, to the altered circumstances of the times, why the League might call Sir James Graham and the superintendent of police to speak to their characters.—( Laughter.) The apostate Baronet.— ( Loud cheers which prevented the remainder of the sentence from being audible.) The Anti-Corn-law League made it its object to act upon the House of Commons. It acted upon con stituencies by endeavouring to make them act upon Members, in order that Members might give good votes. If they were to be proseutei, so also ought their opponents of the pro-corn-law associations, whose strong speeches, signifi cant hints, and bold declamations were much more dangerous. Their opponents :overlooked the constituencies, jumped ever the Legislature, and aspired to keep the Government in order, to add to the riches of the wealthy, and compel the poor to pay a disproportionate contribution to the revenue. The pretext was proteetion to agriculture ' • but wher e were th e p roo f s that such protection had been afforded ? The corn-laws only served to— " Stun with false care what else would flourish wild, Or reek the cradle till they bruised the child."—( Laughter. ) If humanity were to be the motto of any party it should be in scribed on the banners of the League. If any one doubted the ultimate success of their efforts in achieving unconditional repeal, the speech of Lord Morpeth, who declared that if the sliding-scale were not abandoned in a twelvemonth he would join them, ought to dispel that doubt. If, when his Lordship made that declaration, he doubted that the sliding-scale would be preserved another year, Sir Robert Peel came in oppor tunely to make a declaration of his determination to preserve the sliding -scale, thus dispelling in his Lord ship's mind all doubt as to his intentions for the fu ture.—( Hear, hear.) Other great conversions, other important declarations would undoubtedly follow. He did not despair of seeing the leader of the' Opposition a convert to the cause of free trade. It would be j ust what might be expected from one who belonged to a family which was so great in the country's history. Their enemies called the League " a great fact," and the services which it rendered would hereafter cause the period of its exertions to be considered a great era, and whoever might carry the question in the House of Commons, the pioneers who cleared the way would not be forgotten. He could not conclude without expressing his conviction that no man who hereafter shall lay a plentiful meal before his children, could ever forget the skilful, the eloquent, and the high-toned advocacy of Mr. Villiers, any more than he could forget the exertion, the almost superhuman energy, that unison of true, simple, and manly character, with an intellect of extraordinary breadth and vigour, which have placed Mr. Cobden in the front rank of public men, and established him far beyond the reach of the calumnious and dark insinuations by which un scrupulous men have endeavoured to defame him.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. J. Fox then came forward and, after being greeted with tremendous applause, spoke as follows:—If there be upon the two Hon. Members of the House of Commons who have addressed you this evening the doom which used to be much more frequently on judges' lips than, happily, it is at present, and if they are about to be taken to the place from whence they came, I hope on their arrival they will report there that the Anti-Corn-law . eague is still in existence—(Great laughter, and cheers)—for it was announced in that House no longer ago than last night, that since the declaration of Sir Robert Peel, on the first night of the session, the Anti -Corn law League had dwindled into insignificance. Yes, it has dwindled from a revenue of 50,0001. a year to one of 100,0001. It has dwindled from small local meetings : to such gatherings as I cow behold aroun d me ; it h as d w i n dled from the humility of petitioning the House of Commons to the masters of the Hoots of Commons—(Cheers)—and what a strange, what an imperfect, what a confused and ignorant notion must any man have of the Anti-Corn-law League, who supposes that the breath of a Member of the House of Commons, or of a Minister of the Crown, can cause it to shrink and shrivel up into insig nificance. Why, he takes it to be some petty intrigue, some party manoeuvre, something to which the Members of the House of Commons are much more accustomed than they are to the grand principles of truth and justice, and to the great movements of national opinion. And of all persons, too, one whose breath has so often blown hot and cold on this subject, who has aforetime denounced as destructive of the political Constitution and of the religious Establishment of these realms, the very measures which he has submitted to introduce, of all men his words are not the words before which such a body as this is to stand appalled, or at whose com mand it will shrink into annihilation.—(Great cheering.) Neither on Sir Robert Peel, nor on any other leader of party, does this League depend for the success of those objects which are marching on towards their accomplishment.—(Hear, hear. ) It has been made a boast of late that even rich Whig Lords are joining the Anti-League movement. Let them join. S) much the worse for the Whigs, but not for the Anti-Corn law League.—(Hear, hear.) Our strength is in the prin.- c:ples we hold. It is written down that free trade is an im portant step in the progress of nations. It is a fact that claims founded on eternal justice, as is the claim of industry to a free market for its produce, may be violated for a time, but can never permanently be refused to the demands of hu manity.—(Loud cheers.) Their dicta, on whatever side of the House they may be, or whatever parties they may lead— their dicta stop the progress of this League, or prevent the accomplishment of its objects !--why we may as well suppose that the coming of the approaching spring will be retarded or prevented by the bellowing of the bull in Tamworth Park ! ( Great laughter.) But what monopoly cannot effect through the medium of ancient institutions and legitimate forms, is, it seems, to be effected by voluntary combination and effort. Not content with the great Corn-law league of the House of Lords and the House of Commons—not content with the command of the Cabinet and of its coerced spokesman—not content with all this, we find a number of little " associa tions" springing up here and there all ever the country, cry ing out as it were to these leviathan powers— " 0, let our little barks attendant sail, Pursue the triumph, and partake the gale," —(Cheers and laughter.) Being imitative bodies, these asso- ciations, they have taken to copying from us. We have left off petitioning Parliament, and they are just going to begin. —(Hear.) I hope the cast-off clothes will fit them grace fully.—( Renewed cheering.) They denounce our agitation ; the Duke of Richmond says that our agitation is immoral, and forthwith puts himself at the head of another agitation.— (Continued cheerinz.) In looking over the various resolu tions and proceedings of these corn-law meetings, I have endeavoured to ascertain what are their most important features, what they are driving at; and of the two things which stand out most boldly in relief, one, I find, is hatred of the League.—( Hear.) They do not exactly know what they are about to do, but they must oppose the League, they must stop the League, they must put down the League. And so, to do all this, they begin to praise the very thing of which they have been complaining ; they enlist themselves as supporters of the Prime Minister, by whom they have been betrayed ; they evince their consistency, scarcely knowing what else to drive at, by agreeing to support a law which they have denounced, and a Premier whom they despise.— ( Hear, hear. ) And by declaring that we are liable to the penalties of the law, what do they but put themselves in a position to shield us, if there be any impartiality in the admi nistration of the law, from such inflictions ? If we be illegal, much more are they, with their corresponding societies, mak ing their conspiracy not constructive, but open and apparent to all the world. Not that I care about that word.—( Hear, hear.) I should as soon, if not sooner, have addressed this meeting by the term fellow-conspirators than by any other designation.—(Loud cheers.) It would be no disgrace, when the pursuit of a lawful object by lawful means can bring men under pains and penalties. And I must say that, whatever might be the business of the evening, I should have felt ashamed of myself and of you, if the privilege of free meeting and of free speech could be used here without the ex pression of sympathy for those who are to punished for its use in the sister isle.—( Loud and long-con tinued applause, accompanied by cries of " Bravo.") I say sympathy for our own sakes, not for theirs, for, of all men, I take him to have the least need of sympathy, who, even in a dungeon, if he is sent to a dungeon, will rule in the thoughts, and hearts, and devotion, of the nation whom he serves.—( Ap plauie. ) It is due to ourselves, it is due to the best and dearest right which the people of this country possess—the right of publicly meeting, and if it be a great grievance, in numbers proportioned to the greatness of the grievance—(Cries of ' " Hear, hear")—to declare their wrongs and to demand redress. That right should never be touched in any locality, er in the case of any party, without the protest, the strong and heart-felt protest, of every one who values public freedom, a n d th e p r i v il eges o f a na ti on , on ly pro c ured by the boldness of its speech and by its spirit of independence. --( Hear, hear.) B u t t o re t urn t o our assoc i a ti ons . Th e cri minat!on of the League seems to be the first, great, prevailing object. This is the most intense feeling in their hearts, this the first idea to which they give utterance. And for what do they criminate us? Of all the petty, paltry charges ever scraped together, some. of those which figure in the "very bead anti front" are the most pitiful. The first resolution of one agricultural meeting states it to be a most intolerable thing that the League sends paid lecturers about the country.—( Hear.) They charge it as a crime upon us that lecturers are sent to such public meetings—(Some interruption was here caused by some person in the meeting, and the Hon. Gentleman con tinned)—but even they have not the impudence to charge it upon us, that in some instances ruffians are sent to di,turb public meetings.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) They forge , too, that the great teacher and lecturer of the League is one that is not paid—and cannot he paid, by human agency. Its greatest and most efficient Lecturer is an invisible power-- a missionary from Heaven, speaking to the heart of humanity—a Lecturer that speaks to the minds of these who listen, as well as with the voice of him who addresses an assembly—an un dying power, but everywhere pledged to spread free-trade doctrines and to put down oppression, and the name of this unpaid lecturer i 4 the Love of Justice.—(Applause.) A num ber of stories were told by them, amongst which was that of a man having forged to a petition, but they did not accuse us of forging names to a monopolist candidate to come for ward and stand for the representation of a county.— ( Laughter.) , Do they say this man entered a churchyard and copied a number of names from the grave stones, for the purpose of attaching name s to a n A n t i-C orn -l a w petition? Why, 1 if the person whom they employed did this, there must have veer: come shrewdness Act , - , 'in, and had their perceptions been morally acute. I think they would have abstained from selecting this particular illustration of the charge from the graveyards of this country, for in those of both crowded towns and remote villages, how many of those senseless inhabitants arc there who have been brought there—indirectly, indeed, but not the less certainly—by the operation of those accursed restric tion laws.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Could they interfere in our transitory occurrences, they would have a right to petition upon this matter. They had been the victims of the system under which the living are yet suffering and writhing, and were their power to reach their inanimate dust, and could their old thoughts, and feelings, and reminis cences be gathered together, could they come from their graves, to which so many have been carried with but limited rites—the shortened removing—the little bell tolled heavily at the pauper's funeral—could they be gathered together from their resting-places—could they be assembled in the neigh bourhood where that body met tolegislatclon life and death— oh, there would be such crowds, that the avenues of the Houses of Parliament would be so choked up, that it would require a large army of horse and foot, with a Wellington ate their head, to cut a passage through this multitude, and the result would be, that the chaplain of the House would preach his sermon en the eccasion from the text," Your brother's blood cries to me for vengeance."—( Loud cheers.) Next to this unwise disposi tion to vituperate, he found most prominent in the proceed ings of those bodies, was the immensity of the professions of at tachment to the labourer. This was prominent in every string of resolutions and in all their speeches.—( Hear, hear.) The food of the labourer and the work of the labourer seemed to be their being, their aim, and their end—it would appear as if the landlords were only born in order that they might ex ercise their love for the labourer. (Cheers and laughter.) He did not suppose from such expressionsthat they would never meet again at their festivities, but that the toast of Church and State, and its usual accompaniment of the glee of " A Jolly Good Bottle" then would follow the toast of the la bourer; and after a description of his Arcadian bliss, there would be a song in character, to the words of " What a Beauty he did grow." They love their labour so dearly, that they take care that the fine proportions of his form shall not be spoiled by too much rich or ample living— that it shall not be obscured by too great an abundance of clothing.—(Laughter.) A curate, the orthodoxy of whose faith was doubted, once said that he could not be expected to believe very largely, for he only believed at the rate of 80/. a year, while the Bishop believed at the rate of 15,0001. a-year, and so it seems to be with respect to the great Lords and landed proprietors ; they loved their labour at the rate of their 30,000/., 40,000/., 60,0001., or even 80,000/. a year, while the poor labourer in return, stinted in his means, can only love at the rate of Bs. or 9s. a week.—(Cheers and laughter ) There has been nothing like this wonderful attachment since the days when King Cophetua loved the beggar-maid ; but he did not first make her a beggar that he might love her the more ; and in this respect the re semblance does not hold good. We have often heard of the lass who loved• the sailor, but what is that to the affec tion of the lord who loves the labourer; they love the labourer so dearly that for their sakes he would even injure the rest of the community and degrade their characters— and pervert the powers of their station and their legislative func tions; they love them so dearly, that for their sakes they will take out of the pockets of the public any amount of rent which they can get by the taxation of food.—(Cheers, and laughter.) The labourers are told that they must have work, and if free-trade principles are to prevail, it is said, that the land will go out of cultivation and the poor labourer must starve. Now, what is the meaning of all this ? for even love itself—the love of the landlord for the labourer—must sometimes be sub ject to analysis.—(Laughter.) The owner of 50,000 acres mays, that if one party prevails, his land will go out of cultiva tion, and England will become a desert. Does he mean that land itself will take wings and flee away ? And if he can get any rent for it, does he mean that land will yield no produce to any, one who may till it ?—( Hear, hear.) There it is, and no alteration in the law of the land can annihilate the soil, or blast the power with which Providence has endowed it, of bearing ample fruits in return for the seed which man deposits therein. --(Hear, hear.) And why let him throw it out of cultivation ? If there are 50,000 labourers' life on that property—if it is al together abandoned by him, there will be nice squatting there --(Laughter)—for those who remain. —(Continued laughter. ) I think it will go hard but they will manufacture bread and cheese out of it.—(Laughter.) And since we hear that the bares and rabbits on some estates require a very considerable reduction—(Laughter)—they might live on them till harvest time came round.—(Great laughter.) Thus, with a little in genuity, would those 50,000 be covered with industry, and persons would get food for their support, and would have some surplus to s p are t o fi n d them selves in clothing. Thus, what becomes of the cant phrase of throwing land out of cultivation ? ( Hear, hear.) If this were to happen the labourer would think it the happiest day of his life when the landl or d w a s " cr osse d i n in love."—( Hear, hear.) And if the thing went on, and the comfort of this little society increased, it is much to be feared that, after a time, the landlord would come back again. There would then be a repetition of the scenes which had so disgraced Scotland and Ireland. There would be notice to quit served on those who had taken possession of the abandoned property. There would be the horrors of a clearing, in which whole fa milies would be sent to lie down in the ditches, and have to find refuge from the pitiless elements to which they would be exposed by the equally pitiless landlord—(Hear, hear)—and the enactment of a tragedy, too often performedy would end the farce of " The Labourers' Love."—Great cheering.) When did this love commence? What is the history of this most fond and affectionate care of one class for another ? How old is it? Does it belong to those ancient times in our history when slaves were fattened here and sold in Ireland, to the detriment of the home market there, till it was glutted with a surplus population ? Was it in the 14th century, when pestilence had ravaged the country—when the number of those who tilled was so reduced, that they claimed as a right a higher rate of wages for their work—when the statute of labour was passed (which some have praised even in this our day), enacting that they should be flogged to their work, at the wages they had before the pestilence came ?—( Hear, hear.) Was it in the 15th cen tury, when it was the law that if a man had been for fifteen years a labourer he must follow the drudgery for life, and net apprentice his sons in towns, lest the landlord of the soil should lose the services of his serfs ?—(Hear, hear.) Was it even in the sixteenth century, when a man, catching any idle stroller on his grounds, might force him to work, and feed hint with the offal of his table, and brand him, that he might be known to belong to his service ?—( Hear, hear.) Was it at the period when manufacturing energy commenced—when the wages of the labourer, as measured by wheat, fell more than one-half, and the price of wheat was more than double ? Was it under the old poor-law, or new poor-law, which sometimes subjected the labourer to the degradation of being paid his honestly-earned wages out of the parish fund, at another time turning the screw upon him, telling him he is a late corner to nature's table, and bidding him, in his rags and starvation, be independent ?—( Hear, bear.) Is it now that he is gifted with twenty-pence a-day if the weather he fine, to lose it if the day be wet ? Where can we find the origin—where trace the history—where see the marks of that paternal care, which one special class now affirms to have taken of the labourers of this eountry—( Hear, hear)—since they had them under their fond protection? If such be their feelings for the labourers, why do they not bestow more exclusively their attention to them? It is the tendency of the Legislators of this class to meddle with any business rather than their own? They are very anxious about factories, where persons are paid higher by far than any which agricultural labourers receive in the employ of tenant farmers. —(Hear, hear.) They are for making regulations about schools ;- they are .for interfering with cotton, and silk, and woollen manufactories ; but there is the labourer, whom they love so wall, the most unprotected, the most unhelped, being in the country.—(Hear, hear.) Now and then, perhaps, they. have given him some sort of a prize for a twenty -years service in some family—(Hear) —but even this has been coupled of late with an admonition that he must not listen to persons who were given to change—(Laughter)—for the Bible teachers that there must always be poor in the land.—( Great laughter.) And what is the assumption of be ing agriculturists on the part of the landed proprietory ? What is it but part of the same cant which we find extended throughout the whole of their proceedings ? Why, the use of a man's property does not affect his character orlis occupation ; being the owner of a library does not make a man learned. As Mr. Cobden often pithily said, " a man is not a sailor because he is a shipowner ; neither are the owners of great estates entitled to claim the honourable appellation of agriculturists. They are not the cultivators of the ground, they are only the recipients of its fruits, taking the lion s share of the profits." If this language were allowed in reference to othermatters; if it were to designate the occupations of people by the use which they make of their property, it would follow that a Noble member of this League (the Marquis of Westminster) is the greatest brickmaker in the country; that the Duke of Bedford is the most distinguished dramatist and mu sician • ; 'and that the clergy of Westminster Abbey are professors of prostitution.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Fox then went on to say that the question was, whether the landed proprietors were to be " the nation," the entire nation? for that was the object for which they were aiming. —(Hear, and cheers.) They acknowledged it ; they acknowledged legisla tion;; but they were one House influencing another.—( Hear. ) They acknowledged the manufacturing classes, but they did all in their power to oppress them ; th e y ac k now l e d ge the w or ki ng classes, but they tax the bone and sinew of their labour— , they tax the very bread of their existence.—( Hear, and ap plause. ) He granted that they were once the nation, for there was a time when the landed interest was the nation ; but what sort of time was it? A time when the people of this country were flogged, branded, and sold. There edownwas : time they were a nation, when they rode pee t 1 helpless opponents, and were only found capable o f being p ut PUBLICATIONS.

They were not, however, he would tell them, the nation ; but the hard-working, industrious, productive classes of the country were the nation.—( Hear, hear.)

They demanded " free mar kets"—free as the air of heaven, free as the billows of the sea, free as the aspirations of the soul of man.—(Great cheering, and loud cries of " Bravo.") What, he would ask, had not the wisdom and industry of man done for labour ? It was said in a newspaper, a few days Lack, that the price of corn was only the same now that it was in 1791 ; but the fact was, that., while the price of corn was the same as in 1791, the rent of land in this country was double, and more than doable what it was then ; and it was that that crippled the farmer, and rendered him unable to compete with. foreigners.— ( Hear, heat.)

There were they (the League) in the open way, and they took up the gauntlet which their opponents had thrown down, and hurled 11!fianee in their teeth.—(Loud cheers.)
