TO COAL MERCHANTS AND OTHERS. power, and oho had perverted the institutions of this country to serve their own selfish purposes.—( Loud cheers.) Ha be lieved that they reither would nor ought to have any I ease or quiet in this country who had maintained and passed this law, until they could either vinilit ate their policy, or abendoaed it:— (Cheers. ) But their position at present wa-s this—that they neither could du the one nor would do the other. There was no one single position that they had assumed that they had been able to maintain, and every plan, and every pretext, and every argument had been torn to shreds by the withering speeches of the League.—( Cheers.) There is hardly a Sunday school boy that is not able to cope with the "collective wis dom," on the grounds they give for maintaining , their policy. The argument on which they most depended, which was that of danger of depending on foreign States for food, was used after all ;round for it had 'ceased, for we were dependent, and must be so in spite of the law; and as the danger has not happened yet, they expect us to believe that, if foreign countries ex ported more, and their interest became greater, remaining at peace, it was then more likely to occur. But if they had diffi culty in knowing what would be done in cue the - foreigners should cut off our supply, there were persons in this country whom they might consult, who were about ten million in num ber, and who, by their own showing, were without that food in peace, of which they feared they might be deprived in war. So much for the benefit to them of not depending on foreign countries ; but he believed that it was the want of reciprocity in other States towards this country, on which they intended chiefly to rely this year. Now, mark the good faith with which this argument was used. It was implied, in the mono polist organs, that their party wag ready for the repeal of the corn-laws, if other nations would lower their tariffs, and ad mit our manufactures. Now; there was hardly a single State, of whose tariff they complained, that (lid not, some years since, offer to negotiate with us, on the ground of admitting our manufactures, if we would lower the duties on corn ; and it was distinctly notified to them that such could never be 'admitted as the ground of negotiation. He (Mr. Villiers) did on one occasion read in the House of Commons the answer that Mr.. Canning was compelled to give to the Prussian Minister, who had made this application to our Government ; and he there' stated that. domestic policy precleded the corn-laws being the -subject of negotiation.--( A laugh.) Since that refusal to negotiate they had reared up manufacturing intereits, - and follovred our ex ample in attempting to protect them ; and, knowing thatthey were wedded to - that system, the monopolies of this country were to be continued on the plea of their refusing reciprocity. They should, doubtless, also hear of the necessity of maintain ing the corn laws, for the sake of agriculture, in which. such great improvements were promised to he made ; but if the corn-laws encouraged agricultural •improveenent, how came it. that though the laws were passed in 1815, yet that in the year . of our Lord 1843, we collected from 'the landlords thetiaselves that agriculture had been greatly neglected, and, fcr the first time, they were lecturing their tenants on the bad treatment of the land? The fact was, that agriculture had been retarded, and never would permanently improve while the law con tinued. In short, amongst all the things that had been said, or that he expected would be said, there was but one that seemed to consist with fact or sense, and that was urged, upon occasion, by a county Member, in opposition to his (Mr. Villiers') motion, and which was, that according to the ac count of the free traders, they (the landlords) must have a very good thing of it—( Hear)—and if they had, did the meet ing suppose that the landlords would be so sift as to surrender it before the necessity fur it existed?—(Hear, and laughter.) And he liked that ; it was plain, open, and intelligible, and he preferred it much to the paltry plea that it was .for the sake of the poor that bread was to be made searoe in order that it might be dear. It was not usual, perhaps, to make such avowals in public, but it was very common in ' private. Though it might not be v er y generous po li cy, he believed it was very common practice—what was about as common as human nature, where man was unrestrained by any public or general influence. But this was the point he wished -people to observe, for it proved the importance and necessity. of this agitation, which sought to elicit such an expression of opinion as would make these parties see that a necessity (lid exist for surrendering that good thing which they had given themselves, and that bad thing which they had imposed upon everybody else ; and the real question worth considering was, whether the League were pursuing a wise and judicious course. With respect to this, after mature consideration, he was bound to nay that he believed that the chief men of the League were acting a, earnest and honest reen,lunder the circumstances, would do, and they adopted the course best suited to their end. In all these movements it was necessary that the object sought should be clear and definite; in order to..be intelligible, and to unite as much strength in its support as possible. Now, the League denounced the corn-law as unjust, and hoped to abolish it by producing that Conviction on the public mind ; and it sought the sympathy for this pur pose of the wise, and the just, and benevolent of all classes. Could they expect assistance from these quarters ,in • asking for anything short of the entire removal of the injustice? And after showing the evil bearing of the law upon all classes to be satisfied by simply varying the form of the injustice, and after proving that it tended to make food scarce, tended to make it dear, and tended further to deteriorate the value of labour in the market, could they be satisfied by merely meeting the in convenience complained of by the merchant that he was de prived of a regular trade, and remedy the grievance of the far mer himself that the grain was poured into the market at the time most injurious to himself ? These were the effects, no doubt, of the sliding scale, and m ould be removed by a fixed duty ; but the argument against the fixed duty remained unanswered, that its only, merit was to keep cut food from. this country, which food would only be entered from being wanted ; and such a duty could be only imposed for the purpose of protecting the wealtl.y proprietor, but Whi..h protection, while it enhanced the price of food, did not extent to iucreasing the wages of the labouring class.— (Hear, hear. ) This, lie contended, was the fault of air protection, unjustly to favour one class at the expense of the rest.— (Cheers .) Pro tecti.n could not be universal ; Parliament had repeatetLy re fused to entertain the notion of regulating the income of the l i labourers with the view of putting them on a feuting with the protected interest.—( Hear, hear.) Now, his lion. Friend Mr. Cobden put the Government to the test on the point. He had said, .‘ You aro raising the value of your own pro perty by Act of Parliament in passing and maintalining the•c corn-laws, and in keeping up a high price for agricultural pro duce; are you willing to give a value to labour by Act of Par liament aleo ?"—( Cheers. ) He smiled at this proposal know ing full well that it was impossible, and even had it been possi ble, it was not convenient for themselves to do it.—( Hear, hear. ) He (Mr. Villiers) remembered that when he was first returned to Parliament for the distriet which he now had the honour to represent, he was rather under the impression that this law was more injurious to capitalists than it was to the working men ; but lie had since been strongly impressed with the con trary opinion from observing its operation is that borough. The working classes; when they met there to express an improve ment in their condition, did not express the idea by speak ing of higher wages, or employment, but they said they wanted more trade, thus evidently intimating no connexion i a their minds between increased trade and better wages.—(llear, haar. ) Many of them received their orders direct: from the merchant, and they knew that if the merchant received no ender from abroad they tailed to obtain employment. Restriction on trade was therefore ruin to them, while every extension im proved their condition. They had therefore been impressed from the moment that the corn-laws were passed, that as a great obstruction to trade with Europe and America, they had been tending to deteriorate their condition, rearing up competitors abroad, diminishing the demand for their labour, enhancing the price of toot, while pressed further at home by a constant inc rease i n t h e i r num b ers . B u t t h e v i ew w hi c h they take of the connexion between trade and their condition is equally applicable to the whole working classes, for let the most intelligent of them think front morning to night in what way he could improve the material condition of hi; class, and he will come to no other conclusion than that it must he by extending the demand for his labour.—(!tear.) And as that would be effected by increasing the trade in the products of his labour. so every extension of trade with the rest ci the world must tend to improve his condition.—(hear, hear.) The very purpose of foreign trade created a demand for British labour. The object for which we trailed with foreign countries was to obtain something that we wanted and did nut produce. But nc such article could be imported into this country without an equivalent being exported ; and no equivalent could be produced withoet the employment, in some shape, of British labour. Thus every import into this country appeared as a customer for British labour.—(Cheers.) Every restriction on that import was the denial to British labour of a customer ; and every restriction removed, for the same reason, gave employment. It was not consistent with the support of those restrictions to deny that the imports would increase, because restrictive laws were not imposed, because they would not come in, but because they were expected. There was, perhaps, this peculi ar ity in the import of food when it was demanded, that it not only required to be paid for by British labour, hut, inasmuch as it would reduce the price of food, and as food was consumed by the whole community, whatever was saved in the payment of food was expended on manufactures, thereby creating a fresh demand for manufacturing industry, while the artisan, with in creased demand for his labour, would be compelled to spend less on food, and have more to expend upon comforts. No thing, therefore, was more likely to raise and improve the con dition of the working class in this country than extending the trade in food with other countries and rendering it more ac cessible to him at home.—(Cheers.) Shou'd any doubt the justice of these vices, he had only to reflect upon what oc curred (luring the late years of distress, mad what had been lately cceur.ieg. It was universally admitted that the prominent cause of the distress between 1838 and 1842 was owing to the high price of food, and the vast abstraction of the means of the community that would otherwise have been expended on manu factures to be employed in the payment for food. In this coun try a great difference in the price of food was the difference of massy millions more or less expended upon it. Now, what was it that we heard of at present? Why, that trade was reviving—that the home trade was improved, which is the precise confirmation of what he had said, since theprice of food was very fallen within these two years. More had been spent on manufactures, more employment was given to the people, and they had more to spend taxed for revenue, which results in what they knew was the ease thet tradd was reviving, and that the revenue had improved. But precisely for the same reason was it to be expected that if food should again rise, and these laws continue, and the iupply from abroad should again be irregular, the same consequences would again follow. ( Hear.) lie said, then, of what immeme importance was this question to every class of the community, and especially if we consider the amount of misery yet existing in this country, and the shocking details of eistrt ss and destitution that are daily reaching us from the metropolis, and how every business was overstocked; and, when he considered that all the business of this country depended upon the extent of the production, distribution, and censumption of the articles of human want, was it not insane on our part to choke up any channel of corn merce that we could open, or not widen to the fullest extent the field of exchange, which was the soul and spirit of COM- , mercial operations? Why, then, he would ask, should they not at once claim the adoption of this better policy, and insist at once upon freedom of trade? Some raid that their opponents were so strorg, that it would be wise to moderate the deraand. He said; too, that they were stron", but strong i n re l a ti on to the apathy and fears of others. They were not strong in num ber, they were not strong in justice—(Very loud cheers)—they were not strong in the love and affections of the people, but they were bold because other men were cowards—( Loud cheers)—ever fearing to go forth lest this lion should-cross their path.—(Great applause.) But it is said by others that it is not on their account they fear, but en ac.routit of those who had been de:tided by the promises of monopo!y, and who had embarked their capital ui,on its faith, and who had since been disappointed. But he said that rendered the case stronger for change. Hail his ex- THE FALCON WHARF, BANKSIDE, including au excellent RESIDENCR, spacicus COUNTING-HOUSES, extensive STABLING, &c. MR. IV. AV.

Well done i there is nothing cah yield more delight, Or present on the board a more beautiful sight, Than the scene which fam'd Har!equin quickly discloses, When he touches the wonderful Mart of the MOSES'. Nay, there's ri , ,th:ng can rival what thus has been done, Save the Actual houses of MOSES and SON ; These, of course, are the greatest, though Harlequin's wand, Shows changes of which we may justly le fond, The Original wonders can far more engage Than a magical " pantomime" shown on the stage. Then let all who would wish to behold our display, Come and visit our warehouse u ithout any pay. Though Harlequin acts a most wonderful part, Quite as strange transformations are seen at our Mart. Here numbers of people are rloth'd ev'ry minute, Till you'd fancy that Harlequin really was in it. Now doubt not Our statements, we'll preys ev'ry one, If you pay but a visit to MOSES and SON.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—_A great meeting of the friends of free trade was convened in the spacious room of the Town ball, Ashton-under-Lyne, last night, - in aid of the League Fund. It had been announced for some time previously that the Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers would address the meeting then assembled, and great anxiety was consequently manifested by the population of Ashton to have an oyportunity of hearing this great champion of free trade. Arrangements had been made for a tea party, and the large room was provided with front 30 to 40 tables, each accommodating from 20 to 30 per sons. The set-out altogether was one of the ,most brilliant that we remember to have seen. There could not have been far short of a thousand persons. About six o'clock R. Cobden, Esq., M.P., in company with Thos. Ashton. Esq., and Oldham Whittaker, Esq., entered the room. and was received with loud and continued applause. Colonel P. Thompson entered soon afterwards, and was also loudly cheered. Shortly before the meetinae proceeded with the bu•iness of the evening, the Hon. C. P. Villiers, in com pany with Charles Hindley, Esq., M.P. for th e b oroug h , entered the room, and was received with the most rapturous applause, the whole company rising, waving their handker chiefs, cheering, and clapping their hands for a considerable time. Among others of the deputation from the League who attended the meeting, we observed Henry Ashworth, .E, , of Turton ; Mr. R. R. R. Moore, barrister; an d t h e foliog eing gentlemen of Ashton and the neighbourhood were present : Heny Bailey, Esq., Stale bridge ; John Whitaker, Esq., of Hurst; Mark Andrews, Esq., Morley ; Watkin Lees, Esq., Dukitifield ; Nathan Rees, Esq., Dukinfield; John Cheetham, Esq., Staleybridge; Thomas Ashton. Esq, Hyde; Edmund Ashworth, hsq., Bolton ; James Smith Buckley, Esq., Ashton; Robert Buckley, Esq., Moseley; Abel B. IVimpanny, Esq., Dukinfleld; Wm.. Peacock, Eeq., Denton ; George llorsfield. Esq., Manchester;. John Hyde, Esq., Dukinfield ; Fred. Rayner, Esq., Ashton ; Wm. Rawson, Esq.., Manchester ; Samuel Aston, Esq., Hyde ; Ab e l B ar kl ey , E sq., A s h ton; William Shtattleworth, Esq , Manchester ; George Higgin bottom, E.q., Ashton; Ralph Kershaw and Alfred Rayner, Esqrs., Ashton ; Thos. Abysms, Esq., Ashton ; Richard Christie, Esq., Droylsden ; Richard Maley, Esq., and the Rev. John Brooks, Hyde; Charles Bayley, Esq., Staleybridge CHARLES HINDLEY, Esq., M.P., too k t h e chair, 'by pre vious arrangement, and in opening the proceedings said-- Ladies and Gentlemen, we are met together to show our at tachment to the principles of free trade. It is now a year ago since I had the honour to preside at a similar assembly ; and when I look around me at the increased crowd which meets in this room to-night, lam reminded of the assertion of the Times, " that the Anti-Corn-law League is a great fact."— (Laughter and applause.) I wish the editor were here, and I would appeal to him, as far as my constituency is concerned, to show him that we are a great fact.—( Applause.) I shall not, on this occasion, enter into any argument whether free trade be better, or whether it be worse ; I shall not enter into argument on the corn-laws, because I believe the manly letter of Mr. Rand, which has already been read to you, is sufficiently full of argument for every candid mind, and I hope that letter will be printed and circulated by the Com mittee • and I would ask any of the working classes with whom I have any influence to consider well the bearing of those arguments, and the effect the repeal of the corn-laws would be likely to have upon the wine of labour.—(llear. ) Especially would I recommend to them to consider whether, if it be acknowledged impossible to .protect the value of labour, it is or can be their interest that the property of the rich landed proprietors should be protected. I congratulate you upon the improved_prospects of the'questi on we are met this night to support. We now hope, and I trust that we see land—( Hear, hear)—or at least some of the tokens that land is not far -distant. And to whom are we indebted for this im provement in our prospects ? Certainly one great instrument in this change has been that great combination, the Anti- Corn-law' League.—(Loud cheers.) For years had my Hon. Friend Who sits on my right, Mr. Villiers, maintained—( Loud cheers)—for years had my Hon. Friend supported, that cause in Parliament.—( Renewed applause.) And often did he la. ment to me that he thought the people were lukewarm upon the subject, and that he had not the support out of doors which the importance of the question entitled him to expect, and which was calculated to make an impression upon the House of Com mons. It was reserved for Mr. Cobden and the Anti-Corn law League—( Loud cheers)—to produce that support which Mr. Villiers needed ; and now, with the able and prudent con duct which Mr. Villiers has always shown in the House of Commons, backed as he has and will be by my Hen. Friend on the left (Mr. Cobden), and as they bath will be, I trust, by every earnest and zealous advocate of repeal in the House of Commons, and by the League and the people out of doe's, I say success must be almost certain.—(Cheers.) Colonel TuoatrsoN was next introduced and addressed the meeting in his usual quaint and argumentative style. In speaking of the Essex meeting to counteract the League, when 50/. was subscribed, he said their opponents reminded them of a band who sent a party against the Tower, and he sent his ammunition in his stockings.—( Laughter. ) The Hon. C. P. VILLIERS then rose and was received with several rounds of the most hearty cheering. After the applause had subsided, the Hon. Gentleman said that having the honour of being a guest of their respected Member, he had readily complied with a request that had been made to attend that meeting, and he had now to thank them for the very friendly ant flattering reception on the occasion. . When he saw the extreme respectability of that meeting, it was gratifying to him personally ; but if he WAS nut presuming too much, he would venture to infer from it something satisfactory to the cause.—( Hear.) He had no title to their favour unless it were from the course he had taken in the House of Common , upon the question on which they were then assembled. 'f here he had invariably denounced the law they were considering as unjust in principle as well as injurious in operation—(llear, hear)—and he had never either for personal or even for party considerations wavered in the slightest degree in the advocacy of this question in that view.—( Cheers). He ventured therefore, to construe their courtesy on the present occasion to an approval of that course, and consequently to conclude that there was among them a strong and a decided feeling upon the question.—(Cheers.) He could assure them, that to one who had known this cause in its adversity, and who believed that its success was near to the well-being of the whole community, and perhaps, nearer to a remedy for those many ills from which the people were suffering than any other—these signs of prowess were truly gratifying—( Hear, hear)—and he taught that any person who was in the habit of watching what occurred in this country, would conclude that a question which had been so long before the public, and had been re sisted with so much influence and vehemence, and with such advantages as this question had been, and yet gained ground, and was each day gathering fresh strength from every quarter, must have some great intrinsic merit of its own on which to rest. —( Hear, hear.) It had, indeed, stood the test of that which many a cause which had been agitated in this country had failed to do—lie meant the scrutiny and cautious view of the men of sense, and of the men of business and practical cha racter of this country. They were generally Conservative in the right sense, and apt to be alarmed when the mind of the public was agitated, but it was precisely from fleet quarter that there was now accession of strength, and it was openly admitted by them, not only that the cause itself was just, but that the agitation was necessary.—( Cheers.) That great organ of public events and public opinion, the Times newspaper, had proclaimed the reason why they justified this agitation ; is was that every form of remonstrance to the Leg:slature had been Unheeded ; that motions had been rs jetted ; that applications of all kinds had been disregarded ; that their .patience be came exhausted, and they became parties to this outward agitation.—( Hear, hear.) He was gad to see that that spirit which had once animated the commercial classes of this country, and which, by history we learn, did in time past such service, yet 'existed, and was about to be revived ; nay, that it had blazed forth already in this county. Ile was always sure that this would happen, for the people of this country were not ser • vile—they did not submit to wrong when they knew it was so. —( Cheers.) They might be patient and prudent, end it was to their praise that they were so; but let them know what was right—let them feel that they had a duty to perform, and they would never turn until they had triumphed.—(Cheers. ) He remembered some few years since, when he was on the Conti nent, conversing with a distinguished traveller who had re cently returned horn this country, and discussing the subject of these corn-laws, he expressed his opinion that the prospect of their repeal was distant, and, said he, he had observed that. not only were the aristocracy in this country more united upon this matter than upon any other—not only did they derive all the influence which Parliament and station could give t hem, but such had been the habit of their domination that they seemed to have subdued the spirit of every ether class— ( Hear, hear)—and he (Mr. Villiers) owned,' at the time, he had not telt altogether prepared to dispute that view ; for he felt that those parties in this country who, though not of the nubility, were yet connected with all that made England great, had nut vindicated their own interests with that spirit which it would have been to their honour that they should have done. If, however, he had felt that as a reproach, then he would certainly tutn with pride now, and turn the stranger's attention to what was at present passing in this country—( Hear, hear)—with pride lie could point to the imposing attitude which the industrious and commercial classes were now assuming— to the spirit, and intelligence, and determination they were bringing to this arduous struggle, and the time, and the toil, and the money they were sacrificing for its success.—( Loud cheering.) Ile liked to sec it as a man hating to see oppression unresisted—as hating to see man trampled upon anti not turn —as hating to see the idle, the selfish, and the ignorant in the ascendant, wasting the resources of art and industry.—( Im mense cheering.) He did not mean by the expression of that sentiment to raise the question there of the principle of an aristocracy. He was aware that there were members of our aristocracy who were both able-minded and kind-hearted men, and valuable members of society. Ile had no prejudice, certainly, against the order; but he knew of no tie which should bind a man to the errors and follies of any class; and these were as conspicuous in the system which they were maintaining, as that which was the subject of a graver charge.—( Hear.) And if that were so, he could not divest himself.of that a feeling which belonged to every one wishing to see the community to which he belonged thrive, rat'ser than decay, and the people prospering, rather than withering, as they were now.—(Cheers.) He was, therefore, happy to see this demonstration against a wrong, which was admitted to be so wherever England's condition was discussed and wherever England's name was known.—(Cheers.) Ile was glad to see all party distinctions vanish before this great public object, and he turned with admiration, and almost gratitude, to those dis tinguished men whom they had sent from this county, is hos e untiring energies and powers of mind were knitting together the different parts of this country in a common sense of wrong and of hatted to these laws; and though the charge was made against them that they by their addresses were setting class against class, from the enemy, the answe r t o th a t was that the law itself had provoked the attack.—( Hear.) Thery was no mere justice in that charge than there teas against arty man who sought redress because he was injured ; and it reminded him of the story that was told ofa criminal in New gate, who complained of the discourse of the chaplain of the prison, who on one oc casion had taken the eighth commandment for his text, and preached against stealing. The criminal remarked that it was in the worst possible taste, and calculated to produce unplea sant feelings in his condition.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) He had no doubt this agitation did produce unpleasant feel ings, and, what was perhaps more inconvenient to them, it prevented a settlement and dealing with their property.— ( Hear, hear.) Bet if they did suffer this ineonvenience, he thought the country would survive it, if the Anti-Corn-law League succeeded in their object, and he thought it would only be a just retribution upon those men who possessed that great 7 f ur GREAT FOOT•IIACE or 100 YARDS.—The long talked-of running match between John Smith and Willox, a first-rate pede:trian from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, came off yes terday near the Bull Inn, Whetstone. about a mile and a half this side of Barret. The race was for 50/. aside, the distance 100 yards, and Willox the favourite. So sanguine, indeed, were the friends of the latter, that 5 and 6 to 4 were freely offered on heavy odds, which were increased to 7 to 4, and in one instance to 2 to 1, as the time for the race approached. The start was deferred until nearly five o'clock, when a gil'ant race took place. Smith d shed off or, the signal being given, with half a yard advantage its the start, and his opponent Bird his utmost, but ineffectually, to overtake him. Smith retained the lead at the most extraordinary speed, i.nd won by three yards. There was a very large assemblage of sporting men on the gr ,und, and, as betting was brisk, a very considerab'e sum must have changed owners. ROYAL FREE 9u , irterly P.« tignmi. •• meeting, of the Governors of the Royal F r e e Hospital, Gray's Inn-road, was h:ld last night, the hey. Dr. Worthington in the ch tir. The Rev. It. C. Packman, the S'eeretarv,- read the Report, which commenced by calling attention to ttut un precedented extent of destituti-m chi h has prevailed of late in the metropo i,, and the determination of the (ommi!t r ee to apply all the means at their disposal to the alleviation of every case of destitution, accompanied by disease, which bad pre sented itself at the doors. The Committee also acknowledged with gratitude a number of munificent donations:—The Queen Dowager, 10'.) guineas; the King of Hanover, 300 guineas; and Mr. J. It. Peg, t, of Messrs. Puget and Bainbridge's (lank, 300 guineas, in three separate donations of 10.) guineas each. He was prompted by a benevolent wish to serve the charity, and to stimulate others to the same charitable act, and each subscription was given as a challenge or, the condition that some other person should do the same—the result wa , s A t i h r e receipt of 300 guineas in addition to the 300 y• tookPuget,—( Cheers.)

Was it he who, from his extensive experience in agri • celture, from his great possessions as a landowner, an his high, character as a nobleman, placed him at the head of that Society which professed to exist for she improvement of agri culture —he meant Lord Spencer?—(Great cheering.) -No ; they had lately heard his opinions, and he had avowed them in ejudi etu public l ts to the te a h t es d • fp i o n eropa tre private r,i_cu(if fi ri r ,ee t ,e e rd n se. l years )usi y‘ev b at e ns f i o tt r , ee a ,f n a,,r d mh declared e)sre, avnast pi hem to sions gave great authority to his well-timed letter and mini& ceht girt to the fund of the League ? 'No ; for his lettericon tains the denial. Was it he whom Professor Buckland, in the presence -of Sir Robert Peel, at the dinner at Taniworth, said was an example to the land:oe4 and the farmer, for his intelligent treatment of his property ?—he meant Lord Ducie.—(Cheers.) No; he is a membe r of, and a contributor to, the Anti-Coin-law League. There is another nobleman said to be a practical firmer, and of princely pos sessions, he meant the Duke of Bedford, and he was friendly to the repeal of these laws.--(Cheers.) In short, wherever they found a clear head and a clear estate combined, there they usually found a friend ; but wherever both were muddled these laws were clung to.—( !leer.) What was it that they heard of the farmer himself? North, south, east, and west, there was nothing but complaint of the depressed condition Of the British farmer. He was in the predicannut of a man who had made an improvident bargain, and was unable to extricate himself.—( Hear.) Judging fi cm his ow n account, it would be difficult to suppose !het any change could injure his condition, but it was the labourer's lot on which they :de lighted-to dwell._( H ear , an d l aug h ter.) Oh , if they Were in the House of Commons when the corn-laws were discussed, how good, and kind, and benevolent to the yoor, would they think the majority of that House, who maintained these laws !—( Hear, and laughter.) From the beginning to the end the poor were the subjects of their case; the simple pur pose, as it was alleged, of supporting these laws, was en their account ; and they remembered at this time last year, the touellipg description given at - the dinner of the Derect shire squires, of their condition in that county—how happy and contented they were, and how they loved the poor, and hew the poor loved them; and the poetic description given of them by Mr. Batiks. And they remembered bow, a few short months afterwards, this paradise was described by the Queen's Commissioners sent to investigate the mattes-; and how much more like another place they represented lit.-- ( Laughter. ) But with all this professed interest in his . fete, what was his own story? The c - ndition of the agricultural districts told it. It was the old sad argument of ignorance and despair, and hideous crime against society—the destruction of p.cperty by fire.—( Hear.) Were these, then, the existing interests that afforded the tufficient excuse for the coat inuan• cf this injustice?—(clear, hear.) But. if it were still thought by some that there would be use in offering some compromise of their ; claim, his answer was that the experiment bad already been made. It had Leen made by I ord Jain Russell under eircumstauces which, if ever justifiable, was at that time. There;was much lets knowledge and vouch less feeling on the subject then than there is now, and the landlerds were strong in consequence of that. ignorance. And how was that proposition, so favourable as regarded them received? They were ertou'ed, derided, and the most dieing things' said in favour of the law arid about his motives ; and he (Mr. Villiers) trusted he would new, l' repeat the proposition— for he must now see that the aristocracy would not accept his fixed duty, that the people' at large were in fiercer of the trade being free, and that he could not get rid of the present scale wiilmut popular support.—(Loud cheering.) It was therefore his (Mr. Villiers') firm con viction that the honest and just course was the most attainable. —(Cheers.) He had no interest in expressine this opinion, if he did not believe it. He had never served on interest by ad vocating reveal, and could he believe that the condition of the country could be equally imerored by maintaining the law, arid that its repeal was unattainable, he would be silent in future.— ( Hear.) As far, however, as he could judge there was nothing to favour this idea. From every quarter the League appeared to receive encouragement. They w ere Low most judiciously visiting the constituencies, and they had gone nowhere among - them witfiOut producing a deep impreseion cf the truth and justice of their cause.e--(Cheers.) And when it was con sidered that these were the sources of the power by which the law might be repealed, the prospect was cheering of their, ulti mate success.—(Cheers.) T W The electors of this kingd om Were, in fact, comparatively few; they did not Ineaf d four or five hundred thousand ; and, judging by the conversion they had already effected, there was little reaaon for despair.-- (Cheere.) There was no power in the country more likely to achieve the object than a permanent, persevering, untiring body ; such as the body of men of the League had proved themselves to be. Their objects were defined, and their cha racters established, and they Lad little reason to be diverted from their purpose ; Dor would they du justice to the cause if they gave any herd to the silly slanders, or the foul calum nies that were propagated by their opponents.—(Cheers.). Ile would only add, that if that meeting were satisfied that. the League had done much, and were capable of doing more ; and that by extending the agitation they would finally succeed, it was clear that they must do more than express their ap proval ; and, to use the words of Lord Westminster,' they " must contribute aid more in the shape of solid pudding than in words of praise." They must now trust for success to the continuance of the efforts of the League, and they must nos suffer the League to linger fur want of means.--( Hear.) Their expenditure was great, and their funds .should. be equal to their objects.—(Cheers.) Mad their powers been - more extended hitherto, the agitation would be nearer to its elate at present.—( Hear.) Had twenty Cobdens and twenty Brights been in the field at once, the impression which they had pro duced wherever they had been, would now have been general throughout the country. He believed that a contribution to the League was seed set upon the rock which would bring fruit in its time; and if nut, might console those who had given, that they had promoted that best deed of charity, not only to relieve distress as it exists, but to prevent its occur rence. For his own part he would say, that whatever small service he could render to the calm should seer be antheir c mmand, and lie could only say that had he the same strength and leisure and power, he should be quite ready to pursue the same con 53 as his distinguished f, ienit Mr. Cobden was doing, wheal he hoped they were about to hear. The lion. Mem ber resumed his seat. amid the long-continued applause of the meeting.- . Mr. COBDEN, M.P., was next called upon, and Was received with loud cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. He coogra , !elated the nteeting on the speech they had just heard, and said, having their leader in this question an.ongst them, it was only due to him to, offer him all the encouragement in -their power. Considering the position in society which he held, there were few men, sinless made of very s•s stuff indeed, could have pursued the straightforward, undeviating, and con sistent course which had marked his conduct on this question. Let them hope that in these times; when his political virtue would be put is a harder trial still, to resist compromises and offers of all kinds to stave off .ull justice—lit them hope that is these times he would find support and encouragement to carry 11. m through. He would state most sincerely that sn long as the conducting cf this question in the House of Commcns- re mained in the hands of Mr. Villiers, he should have the most implicit confidence in its safety—(llear)--and he. miga add, of any future Government which undertook the settlement of this question—that the confidence with which they treated Mr. Villiers would be no bad test of the confidence which it de served at the hands of the country.—(Loud cheers.) After entering at some length into the gut s:ien of repeal, the Hon. Member concluded as follows :_My Hon. Friend (the Chair man) has said something of which I would say a word. I am not much of a casuist, and I must bear in mind that he will have the opportunity of reply immediately I sit down.: but he said he would be more thankful for repeal to Wl.igs, than Tories. —(Laughter.) Ido net pretend to say how much we should be thankful to this or that party for that which we Claim as a right, but if I might express an opinion, I think we gene rally give the greatest amount of gratitude for favours when they come from quarters least expected.—( Laughter end ap plause.) Now, 1 must confess, that I don't expect Sir. Robert Peel to repeal the corn-laws. lam not quite sure that Lord John will do that either, but perhaps my friend Mr. Cheetham will do that kindness for us, as he is the conscience-keeper of that party.—(Laughter. ) But though we will nut i ut in the scales to try the exact amount of gratitude we should give to either party, this I will say, that the League don't care a rush from w hat party they have it.—( Applause.) Therefore, don't let any man'suppose lii• oeinioos wiii be ouirrged by joitte . ig the League. —( Hear.) 1 h ave f requent l y t h oug h t it ever, and Ido not think there is a single question we could incorporate with the corn law agitation, but it would scatter unto the winds.— ( Hear. ) It would make us a rope of sand.—( !leer. ) Cob• den re ferred to the letter of the Merquis of Westminster, end the effect it was ' , reducing:. lie congratulated the Men.ber for Ashton on the support given him to- night b) h s eonstitueots, .and said lie had no doubt it would he to the people of Ashtoa themselves a triumph tha they had contributed so largely to the settlement of this great world's question.—( Loud el.eers.)
