HARVEY, Esq., in the Chair; It was resolved,—That proceedings at law having been threatened in various railway matters, it is very desirable that, with a view to the equitable arrangement of just demands, and the resistance of claims obviously made under the impression that the dread of ruinous law charges will induce compliance, as also to ascertain the legal liabilities of committee-men, shareholders, and applicants for shares ; and further to elicit the actual circumstances of various railway projects (matters far too weighty and important for indivi • dual responsibility), a confidential meeting be speedily convened of parties who are interested in these objects. It was further resolved,—That Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores, Throgmorton-street, be appointed solicitors, to whom persons in clined to co-operate are invited to send their names and addresses, who will be apprised of the proposed meeting.

ERT DE BURGH, Chairman. R. MORTON CALEY, Secretary. 43, Moorgate-street; London, Dec. 4, 1845. lOSTON, NEWARK, AY AND SHEFFIELD The Committee of Direction beg to inform the shareholders that the Plans and Books of Reference of the line were duly lodged with the Board of Trade and with the Clerks of the Peace on the 30th ult., but in consequence of the fraudulent abstraction of twenty sheets of the Sections from the premises of the Lithograper (a fact which the Committee are in a position to substantiate, and for the discovery of the perpetrator of which felonious proceeding they have taken the most decisive steps), the Sections, though deposited at the Board of Trade, were a few hours too late at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace ; they were, however, deposited before office hours on the following morning. The Committee feel confident that no impediment to the progress of the Bill will arise from this delay, the case of the Sheffield aid Lincolnshire Railway last session affording, from the exact similarity, a decisive president for insuring the safety of the Bill in the standing orders. With the exception of about 500 reserved shares, the full deposit of 10 per teat. has been paid on the capital, of which 100,0001. has been invested at 3% per cent. interest, and 19,000/. at 3 per cent. The Sections will be found, on inspection, to show an excellent line, with favourable gradients, and very • little earth-work or tun nelling for the length of the line. The landowners, whose property the railway traverses, are all but unanhnously favourable, and the Committee feel undiminished confidence in the ultimate success of the undertaking.

EDINBURGH, TUESDAY. —To day at one o'clock, in pur suance of a numerously signed requisition of the citizens of Edinburgh, a public meeting was held in the Music-hall, George-street, " to consider the propriety of memorialising her Majesty to direct her Ministers to give orders that the ports of the United Kingdom be immediately and perma nently opened for the admission of foreign grain and provi sions free of duty." The hall was crowded to excess, and many persons were unable to gain admittance. On the plat form we observed Lord Dalmeney, Mr. T. B. Macaulay, M.P. ; Mr. W. G. Craig, M.P.; Sir James Gibson Craig, Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Sir Charles Napier, M.P. ; Mr. David Orr Ross, M.P. for Belfast; Mr. Andrew Rutherford, M.P. for Leith ; the Lord Provost of Glasgow, &c. The Lord Pro vost of Edinburgh was called to the chair.: The LORD PROVOST, on rising, was received with much applause. He said, before commencing the regular proceed ings of the day, allow me to make some explanation regard ing the present meeting. First, then, it may be asked why Edinburgh, which used to give the tone to other cities, has so long delayed on the present emergency? I may re mind you that the Town-council, more than a month ago, petitioned her Majesty that the ports might be imme diately and permanently opened for the admission of foreign grain' free of duty ; and such of you as think the reports of the proceedings of the town-council worth looking at may have observed that a fortnight ago a question was put to me why no public meeting had been called for this purpose. I then stated that I understood that a requisition was in course of signature and that when I received it I would call the meeting.—(Applause.) From accidental cir cumstances some delay took place in completing the requisi tion ; but knowing that it was sure to appear, I immediately communicated with our excellent representative, Mr. Gibson Craig, who at once said he would be happy to attend the meeting, and do what he could to promote its object.—(Ap plause.) I likewise wrote to Mr. 'Macaulay on the 20th of last month, who I am happy to see here, requesting his pre sence at the intended meeting, when he wrote me, that from the delicate state of his health and other hindrances, he might not be able to come to Edinburgh, but if he did not, he would send his views in a letter, which might be read to the meeting, as he was convinced that there was no safety but in complete free-trade in articles of food.—(Cheers.) think it necessary to mention these facts to show that this meeting was called from a conviction of the importance of the object, and independently of any other exciting cause. Before proceeding, I may likewise state that I have received, since I came into this room, a letter from one who is held in high estimation by all who know him. I refer to Dr. dial mers.—(Great applause.) He wrote as follows : " Momingside, Dec. 2. "My Lord,—l have been honoured by the presentation of a platform ticket for the meeting of this day in the Music-hall. " Had I been in the habit of attending public meetings, I should certainly have been present at the meeting of this day, and have lifted my feeble testimony in favour of its object. "I hold it quite monstrous that, in the present fearful prospects of the country, the ports should remain shut for a single day against the admission of human food; and, though I am not so sanguine as many of a great and per manent economic good to result from the abolition of the corn-laws, yet, on the ground that such a measure would remove a topic of agitation and conflict, and so tend to the restoration of a better understanding among the various classes of society, I should rejoice, not only if all restrictions were now taken off for the sake of the present emergency, but if, from this time forward, they were exclusively done away. I have the honour to be, &c., "THOMAS CHALMERS. "The Right Hon. the Lord Provost of Edinburgh." --(Applause.) I may likewise state that I wrote to another, in whose judgment and integrity the inhabitants of Edin burgh have the utmost reliance—l allude to Lord Dunferm line —(Cheers.) You testified your confidence in him on the first opportunity you had of electing your own representa tive in Parliament, and during the period that he held that trust, your confidence in him continued unshaken. That relation between us has now ceased, but his anxiety for our welfare is unabated, and I know that your confidence in him remains undiminished. He could not conveniently attend,. but has sent me the following letter, which, with your leave, I will now read:— " Collinton, Dec. 1. " Dear Lord Provost,—My disinclination to attend public meetings is so well known to you and others that I adhere to my purposes without any fear that my motives will be mis construed by you, or by such of my old friends and former constituents as may have wished for my presence at the meeting over which you are to preside. "If I had attended the meeting I do not think that I should have had anything to retract or explain. The early tendency of my opinions has been sufficiently indicated by my votes against the Corn Bill in 1815, and by the vote which I gave in 1833, as one of the Members for Edinburgh, when Mr. Hume tested the opinion of. the first Reform Par liament by proposing a fixed duty on corn. I should not, therefore, have rested my opinion in the:present apprehension of scarcity, but in a firm conviction:that free-trade in corn is essential to the . prosperity of the country. " I should rejoice to see sectarian differences in politics and in religion merged in a combined effort to support and enforce the truths which have been diffused by those who have devoted themselves with unexampled zeal and ability to the exposure of the evils of the corn-laws. " The power of acting as umpire between' the contending parties in the State has, by the change in the law, been con ferred on the constituencies, if they choose to exercise it; and an appeal is now made to the public at a most critical conjuncture, and on a vital question. The alternatives are either to repeal the corn-laws, or to prepare for a most arduous and perilous conflict. Such an appeal ought to be answered with firmness and deliberation, casting aside all party and personal feelings, and looking only to the public welfare and to the natural safety.— lam &c. " DUNFERMLINE." (Great applause.) I can add nothing to the sound and libe ral sentiments of this enlightened statesman. I have been honoured with the enviable advantage of his friendship and counsel, and have had occasion to know that such have long been his views, and that his anticipations always were that the principles of free trade must triumph.—(Cheers.) I con gratulate you that in surveying the battle-field we now see the ranks of monopoly broken—many of their troops have already turned their back—defeat, disunion, and disorder have filled the rest with consternation, while we are encou raged by the prospect of victory, and strengthened by daily accessions of new allies and a phalanx of invincibles.— (Cheers.) Such is the power of the truth. At first it may be launched by an obscure individual, then the few who adopt it are stigmatised as enthusise.ts, fanatics, anddreaming theorists; still its converts increase, its encounters become more keen, its struggles more frequent and severe, till its final triumph is achieved.—(Cheers.) How many arguments which they considered incontrovertible were brought forward by the men of the sliding-scale, and how long were they allowed to pass current, true as holy writ, among a prejudiced multitude ?—(Cheers.) It was confidently :affirmed that free trade in corn would leave us at the mercy of our enemies. Issue was joined upon this question, and it was proved, that so far from our being exposed to the dangers and calamities of war by free trade, free trade was the strangest bond of security for the maintenance of peace, and the true source of good fellowship and'national prosperity.— (Great cheering.) Another shadow of an argument was conjured up in the shape of the national debt, it being affirmed that the burden was chiefly borne by the land, but new light was brought to bear on the subject ; it was found that the burden fell not on the land, but chiefly on the landless, who thus had the double infliction of a heavy national debt and the unnatural enchancement of the price of provisions. Again it was glibly asserted that a larger share of the national taxation was laid upon the agriculturists than on the other classes, but when challenged to the proof, it was demonstrated that, so far from this being the case, the Le gislature had exempted them from their fair share, which consequently increased the proportion that fell upon the other classes.—(Cheers.) Then it was attempted to excite the jealousies of the working classes, by insinuating that the ob ject of the free traders in procuring cheap food was to lower the rate of wages. A reference to experience, however, has shown that in this country high wages are more frequently found in connexion with cheap food, and low wages with dear food.—(Loud cheers.) There is no doubt that the corn-laws were framed with the view of benefiting the landlords and agriculturists, but the vigorous intellect and logical reasoning of Mr. Cobden have proved, beyond dispute, that even here they have failed of that object, that under their operation the agricultural labourer has been ground to the dust, the farmer has been reduced to a wretched vassalage, and the landlord himself has been a sufferer in the end.—(Cheers.) The God of all the families of the earth, by the wise and beneficent arrangements 'of his providence, designed that the ties of universal bro therhood should be maintained and strengthened by the wants of each, rendering them dependent on all; for this purpose he has given a variety of climate, a variety of pro ducts, and a diversity of seasons, that all should be bound together in the circle of mutual commerce. Legislators vainly imagined that they could devise a better arrange ment, but when man attempts to improve on the plan of his Creator, his wisdom is folly his power impotence, and the result misery.—(Cheers.) Thoroughly have the monopolists been foiled in the field of argument, all the refugees of lies have been swept away, defence after defence has been aban doned, they have sullenly retreated to their citadel, their guns have been silenced, their ammunition spent, and their surrender is near. In the words of the noble statesman, whose letter has diffused joy and hope in the midst of gloom and apprehension, " Let us then unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime a mong the people.—(Great applause .) Now that Lords John Russell, and Morpeth, and Howick, join heart and hand with Villiers and Cobden, and the host of free-traders, who can doubt that victory is certain and at hand ?—(Cheers.) I have only further to state, that the different resolutions, will be moves) by gentiemen who have ever been ready to join in every good work.—(Cheers) Mr. WILLIAM GIBSON CRAIG, M.P., rose amidst great cheering, and said—My Lord Provost, I can assure you that I second this resolution with the most perfect cor diality. But, Gentlemen, before proceeding to make any re marks upon the resolution itself, I must refer to a matter personal to myself, as some communication has been a to by my excellent friend who has just sat down, 7 0 1 1 1 r ich m it was stated by him that the reply either ot: lf bonoura4le colleague did not give perfect satisfaction. e I am so anxious to satisfy you that my course leas been consistent, and that you should believ en at the r e that I am isk acting braking up old con scientious motives, th at, ev sores for a moment, I b e g very briefly and in a few sen of t h e opinions I have expressed on tenses to remind you and of the course I have ta k e n in this important questio n, Parliament upon it.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, when the Anti= Corn-law League was established in this city some years ago, I then decline d to become a member, because at that moment ray opinion was that the substitution of a low fixed law, would be the most duty for what was then the existing beneficial arrangement for all the great interests of the country; but at the same time I stated that 1 should so in finitely prefer the abolition of all duty whatsoever to the existence of the sliding-scale, that I should vote upon every occasion for every motion which had for its object the repeal of the existing laws.—(Loud cheers.) But, Gentlemen, I reserved to myself the power of judging what were the cir cumstances under which any measure proposed should appear to me the most preferable array ,'-nient. Under that reserva tion I have voted for several sessions past •, for I have voted for every motion whether brought forward by Mr. Villiers or any other, for the total abolition of the corn-laws. In reply to the last communication which was ;.eat me from the Anti-Corn-law League, I stated that I was quite aware of the progress of the question, that I was well aware the moment for compromise was passing away, and that if through the infatuation of the landed interest no arrangements were to be completed, the necessity of settling the question within a very short period was impressed so strongly upon my mind, that I should abandon all idea of any compromise on the principle of a fixed duty.—(Cheers.) That is the progres sive course which I have taken. The period I have alluded to has passed away ; and the time is now come when I can cordially and entirely agree in the words of the Noble Lord, the Member for London, that it is no longer worth while con tending for a fixed duty—nay, more, that the exigencies of the present period demand that the bold and decided course should be taken of opening the ports. '1 he pressure certainly is not. vet felt, because the potatoes are not yet exhausted ; and there is still full employment. But, on the other hand, that employment and high wages producing an extravagant consumption of produce cannot be reckonsd upon ; and already the high prices of food are beginning to affect the condition of the people, which may further be injured by a rise in the Money-market to an extent which is incalculable; and in the course of the ensuing season not only may we feel ourselves embarrassed by exorbitant prices for food, but too probable by inadequate subsistence for the people, and possi bly by stagnation of trade. Is not this prospect enough to appal any man? The idea of famine and scarcity in a land such as this! Gentlemen, the evil does not rest even here. It is not possible to imagine that this state of things can last even for one year. The poorer classes in another year may not have the means of obtaining seed for potatoes. year the breadth planted will be much smaller in general ; and there is no crop whatever on the scanty patches held by the poorer classes in England and Ireland which can produce the same amount even as this year. Then you will have mil lions of people to feed out of your supply ; for another year's harvest may not be so good as this. We have, again, the prospect of famine before us. What a spectacle is this for such a country! And shall it be that this country must go on trusting to accident for the support of its people, or are we not to do all in our power to enable them to procure the means of subsistence ?—(Loud and continued cheers.) Mr. Maca.oun• was received with loud applause, which continued for several minutes. As soon as it subsided, he said—My Lord Provost and Gentlemen, you will well be lieve, I hope, that I am deeply sensible to the kindness with which you have received me, and I only beg that you will continue to extend that indulgence to me, if it should so happen that my voice should fail me in my attempt to ad dress you. I have thought it my duty to be present here, though doubting whether I am equal to the exertion of ad dressing such a meeting, and though so situate that I can only pass a few hours among you. But I conceived that this was not an ordinary meeting, or an ordinary crisis.—(Ap plause.) I conceived that a great era in our commercial policy had arrived—(Hear) —and I thought in such a conjuncture you had a right to a frank and full explanation from one who has the honour to represent you in Parliament.—(Applause). With respect to the past, Gentlemen, I have perhaps a little to explain, but certainly nothing to regret or retract. My opinions, from the moment when 1 entered public life up to the present day, have never varied. I have always considered the principle of protection to agriculture as a vicious principle. I thought that vicious principle took, in the laws of 1815, of 1828, and of 1842, a peculiarly vicious form. But my opinion has never varied as to this—that the principie in itself was vicious. This I declared twelve years ago, when I stood for Leeds; then I declared it in 1839, when first I presented myself before you ; and when, a few months later, Lord Melbourne invited me to become a member of his Government, I distinctly stated to him that, in office or out of office, I must vote for the total repeal of the corn-laws.— (Applause.) In the year 1841, a very peculiar crisis had arrived. There seemed to be reason to hope that it might be possible to obtain a compromise, which would not, indeed, remove the evil, but which would very greatly mitigate it ; and there were some circumstances in the financial state of the country which led us to hope that we might be able to obtain that support for the proposition of a moderate fixed duty, which could not possibly be obtained if we had pro posed to have an entirely free trade. On that occasion her Majesty appealed to the people. I presented myself before you ; and I disguised nothing. I said, "I am for free trade in corn ; but I think that in existing circumstances, to make a compromise would be desirable. I am a party to that compromise; and it is for you to day to determine whether you will approve of my conduct or not."— (Applause.) You approved of it, and sent me back to Parliament as a party to that compromise. I thought then, that my duty was this—not to vote against the principles of free trade, but until Parliament should decide whether they would accept that compromise or not, I must act with my former colleagues, and support and pro mote that compromise in Parliament. I did so. During the first year I declined to vote for the extreme proposal of free trade, although I expressed myself in favour of it. I refused at the same time to vote against it. But soon as Parlia ment rejected the compromise—as soon as it decided in favour of Sir Robert Peel's sliding-scale, I considered that all my former engagements were at an end, and from that time I regularly voted in favour of every proposition for the per fect freedom of trade in corn. There has been, I am well aware, since that time, some difference of opinion, not as to the end, but rather as to the means between me and my constituents; but the difference between us was not, at least. as to the question whether I would or would not seprort free trade in corn, but whether I would or would not act cordially against the present system, in concur rence with many eminent and patriotic men, who were still attempting to elect the compromise of 1841. Valuing most highly their support, but feeling the immense strength of' the party of monopoly, my wish was—not conceding my own opinion, not even withholding my own vote when the question of a free trade in corn was considered, never theless, to ad in the most cordial feelings of friendship, and in the strictest union with such men as Lord John Russell, Lord Howick, and Lord Morpeth, who still, from-whatever cause, felt themselves bound to adhere to something like the compromise of 1841 That was the only difference between us. I will not argue the question now. It has been set at rest in the best possible way. It is not necessary now to in quire how I should act towards the party who are in favovr of a moderate fixed duty. That party has disappeared.— (Great applause) Time, and reflection, and discussion, and recent experience, have produced the effect which it was natural to think it would produce in capacious, reasoning, and patriotic minds. No intermediate shades are now left. The light is divided from the darkness. There stands two parties, ranged right against each other. There is the standard of monopoly, and here is the standard of free trade; and, as your representative, I pledge myself to be faithful to the standard of free trade.—(lmmense applause.) I have been relieved in some degree of a difficulty which I believe I should have felt in addressing you, by the resolution which has been put into my hands. I should have felt that I was unnecessarily obtruding on your attention if I were to dilate on the whole of this vast subject; and yet I believe I should have felt a difficulty in selecting any one part of it. But the gentlemen who have taken charge of the proceedings have requested me to move a resolution which dwells'particularly upon one most important part of the case, and to which, therefore, I will particularly invite your attention. The re solution which I have to move states emphatically that the existing corn-laws press with especial severity on the humbler classes. I believe that, to clear up this point—to make this point fully understood, is one of the greatest services which at the present time can possibly be rendered to the cause of free-trade There was a time—a time which some of us can well remember—when men were not ashamed to defend the corn-laws purely as an aristocratical system of legislation— when men were not ashamed to say that it was necessary to keep up the price of bread, in order to keep up the rents of the landed aristocracy. On these topics, whatever the feel ing may be, the expression is no longer heard. No person for some time past has ever ventured in Parliament, or, as far as I know, in any public assemblage in this country, to say that there ought to be a law to compel 10,000 men to buy food dear when it can be had cheap, in of der that one man may build palaces and buy picture-galleries.—(Cheers.) This ground has been dropped. but another has been taken up, much less atrocious and more philanthropic in seeming, though not a whit less absurd. What we are now constantly told, in every discussion about the corn-laws, is, that it is a capitalists question—that the capitalist wants to take a part of the income of the landlord, and to make it his own—that the capitalist wants to thrive by the reduction of the price of food—and that the reduction of the price of food would be a reduction in the wages of the people—that the lower you bring the price of the necessaries of life, the lower you bring the condition of the working man—and that the whole clamour about free trade was a clamour raised by the mill owners and the money-changers. This I take to be the real strength of the argument of the present party who support the corn-laws; and you know with what effect it has been produced. This has not been heard merely from the landed aristocracy. We have not heard it only from the lips of those who are interested in keeping up rents. We have heard it also from demagogues—from a mischievous class of men who wish to keep up the corn-laws merely that the corn-laws may make the people riotous and disorderly.—(Hear, hear.) You know well how constantly and repeatedly they have declared that this movement was a mere attempt of the mill-owners to grind the faces of the poor. lam not, I believe, incorrect in stating, that in this great and enlightened city, a meeting called against the corn laws.was put down and dispersed by an argument of that description. Now, for my part, whenever I hear one and the same cry set up by bigots who are opposed to all reform, and by demagogues who are bent on universal destructior s , I am quite sure that some mischief is brewing. And e th mos l t believe to be, of all the cries that were ever set up, th_ demonstrably unreasonable and absurd. In the &st i ll , i t should seem strange that the Conservative part strange, and pare should countenance an opinion as new, sons who talk so much of the wisdom of their Y ancesto Pe of the world doxical as ever appeared from the n begin" down to the corn-law contest of the e chtheace food. The doctrine, n n :i l ify, that it was a misery to the labouring man _l . ! o if f true. th e wisdom s not at all a o l ur l eventsan t one of those o ituons toself:eavrdent p one. It was no part anded the assent of all which we find to have at once tongue d 0 ages, of all people, and of all tongues. n the contrary, so COStO a It is no p the most ancient mean far as my knowledge. of the history of nations and of litera ture goes, if von begin with the Hebrew Scriptures—and come down to the corn-law of 1815, I should be much surprised if you were to find any evidence for this—that much of the happiness of the great body of the pe . ople depends on the dearness of their food. One would think that some cogent argument would be brought forward to satisfy us of it. And:what is the argu ment they bring forward ? If ,there is any other argument than what I am going to state, I heartily wish any gentle man acquainted with that argument would rise up and simply f ood is a s r ta e t g e o i m t. e c l ou k n n t o r w ies on i l n y t o h n e e, w a n n r d ld is where i tthis—that cheaper there than in England, and where the people are more miserable than in England. Poland is a case to which • they particularly refer. Whenever the question is asked, why should not we have corn as cheap as the people of Dantzic, the answer is, " Do you want the English peasant to be reduced to the condition of the Polish peasant?" for they seem to think, that as food •is cheap, and the people miserable, on the banks of the Vistula, therefore the cheapness of bread would make the condition of the people of this country as bad as that of the peasant on the banks of the Vistula?

Why, thin mode of reasoning on a poll • tical question is the strangest that was ever heard of, and see how easily it may be otherwise applied. The food in New ' York is - cheaper than in England, while the wages of the labourers are higher ; therefore, it follows demonstrably, ac cording to this mode of reasoning, that the lower the price of food the higher the wages will be. But, in troth, it is idle to look at the cause, and to compare nations in this sort of way. It is not one single cause that makes either the pros perity or misery of nations.—( Hear, hear.) None of us are idiots enough to say, for instance, that difference of religion, difference of government, security of property, internal peace, or security against foreign invasion, has nothing whatever to do with the prosperity of nations ; and that everything is to be resolved simply into the question of cheap bread. But then, gentlemen, take the most miserable country in the world. They take the case of unfortunate Poland—a country which had for ages, till the independence of their country was lost, the vilest of all Governments, mere anarchy above, mere weakness in the Sovereign, and below a vast population in a state of absolute personal Alavery. Trade they had none, their capital was gone , and tHT whole of their commerce in the hands of a few Jew p:dlars. And then we come down to the time when the foreign invader pouncedupon them, and when their country was partitioned, then re-partitioned; it was conquered, and re-conquered; and it was utterly enslaved, and is exiting at the present moment under a - Government of which I will not trust my self to speak, because I do not wish to say anything which it would be unbecoming an Englishman to say regarding the proceedings of a foreign state. But they take this country—. the most miserable and oppressed; they take a country in a condition of political slavery; and then they take another country, which, for centuries, undoubtedly was the best governed of any country in Europe—a country where per sonal slavery has been unknown for ages—a country which has had the advantages of pure religion, a high state of morality, and an enormous capital—a country which is secured by sea against foreign invasion—.a country which knows not what it is to see au enemy, for I believe the oldest man alive has never seen a foreign flag in this country, except as a trophy —(Loud applause)—and under these circumstances, they pa rallel the two, and say that the inhabitant o f G rea t B r it a in is better off than the serf of Poland; and what can this be owing to,but that the serf of Poland has cheap bread.—( Loud laughter, and applause.) Was there such a way of reasoning ever heard in the world? Is there a single blessing which, in this way, I could not prove to be the greatest curse, or a single curse which I could not prove to be a blessing?— (I Lear.) Take lameness, for example. I could show you that lameness is a benefit ; for is not many a lame man better off in the world than men with two legs?—(Laughter.) In the same way I could prove blindness to be a benefit; for certainly we have all knox n many blind men whose condition on the whole was more enviable than the man who had two eyes.—(Renewed laughter.) Absurd as this may appear, these men reason in this way. But the question is, would not the blind man be better off if he had two eves?—and whether the lame man would not be better off with his two legs ?—and whether the Englishman would not be better off if bread were as cheap in England as it is in Poland?—(Ap plause.) I am glad to allow that the common people of Great Britain are infinitely better off than the Poles ; but I say they would be still better off if bread were as cheap here as it is in Warsaw; and I say, that if the Poles bad the same price to pay for their food as we sometimes have to pay, they would be a great deal more miserable ; or rather, they would not be miserable long, for they would starve in millions, and perish.—(Hear, hear.) The real way of deciding such a question is, by comparing the same coin munity under a system of cheap bread, and a system of dear bread ; and this we have ample opportunity Of doing. We have only to look over your history for the last ten years, and if that history do not suffice to teach us, we are past all teaching. Take the year 1845. Food was cheap then, and the capitalist prospered greatly; but was the labouring man more miserable than he is? Is it not the fact that he was better employed, and that wages were higher? Well, then, we come to that change when, like Phareah's dream, the thin ears devoured the full ears; when the lean kine devoured the fat kine; when the years of famine de voured the years of plenty; we come to the time when food was dear. The condition of the capitalist in 1841 was bad. He suffered ; but will any person tell me he was the only sufferer, or the chief sufferer ? Do we remember what the condition of the labouring po pulation was in 1841? Was not their condition such, that philanthropic men were unwilling to enter a manu facturing town for fear of seeing the squalid naked ness of the masses ? Was not their condition such. that politicians who never in their life were alarmed trembled for the very foundations of civil society. The pressure came on heavier; the mills were at first put on short time; the mills then ceased to work at all; and the people were thrown out of employment, and they went to pledge the little property they bad. First they pledged their little luxuries ; then their comforts ; then their ne cessaries : then their hovels were stripped, until they were as bare of furniture as the hut of the dog or the red Indian ; while every shop with its three golden balls was literally crammed from the cellar to the garret with the clothing and Bibles of the poor. Don't we remember what a formidable symptom of another kind was produced? I recollect the strong effect which was produced in London that day, when, for the first time, huge pieces of cannon were seen rolling northward, not to encounter a foreign enemy, but to our manufacturing towns. Well, you have had cheap bread since that time. The capitalist plaited by it, I know, as certainly he ought to do ; but has the condition oe the labouring classes been getting worse? Have they not, on the contrary, been getting better and better? Have we not seen their goods coming back from the pawnbrokers— have we not seen in their faces, in their clothes—have we not seen in their very looks in the street a difference between time of cheap food and a time of dear food? Take their innocent pleasures, or their pleasures not merely innocent— take their pleasures of intellect. There is your own intelli gent and useful citizen Mr. Robert Chambers. Ask him what sale his works had in the year 1841 as compared with the year 1845. I believe there is no exaggeration wheel X say, that on a careful calculation which I know to hav e been made, it appeared that within twenty miles of Manchester, in one particular week in 1845, the sum issued in wages was 1,500,000/. sterling greater than in the corresponding week in 184L—(Applause.) This is undoubtedly a great im. provement, and all must have seen it with heartfelt setisfae lion. They have gained by this, as a Government will always gain when the people are prosperous. But I am convinced it was an improvement which they did not bring about— that it was an improvement which theirpolicy directly tended to prevent. That prosperity was the effect of a cheapness which our rulers have attempted to make dear. Under the pretence of making this country independent of foreign supply, they have given us a system which, instead of making us independent, makes us dependent in the worst possible form. As the Lord Provost has justly said, there is a natural dependence between nations which we ought not to forget. Providence has given different productions to different nations for the due interchange o commodities, and in that manner to establish a beneficial commerce. But not only are different productions given to different climates ; even in the same climate there are stages of civilise ion which are favourable to !particular states of production. There is a state of society which is best fitted for raising raw material, and in which it would not be proper for men to tura their attention from the cultivation of corn-fields to the manufacture of stockings, and there is another state in which industry and capital take other forms, and in which they are in a condition to supply vast extents of country with manu factured products. The intercourse between these countries is the most natural and healthful mode of dependence which can be conceived. There is no injury in that dependance— there is no degradation in it. There is thus a mutual depend ence, and it is exactly as important to one side as to the other. Even if there were any injury in it, we could not escape it. We must be dependent on other countries for our supplies of food. That question was decided when England ceased to be an exporting country, and the question that remains is, how are we to be dependent? The question was answered by the Lord Provost. Go to Lancashire, and see those immense suc cessions of buildings, many of them so great as to be equal in size to the capitals of some European kingdoms ; go in and see the warehonses, with their stocks of goods, and look at that machinery so wonderfully exact and exquisite. Look at those great nurses of human beings all employed in pro ducing articles adapted for giving comfort to the people on the banks of the Columbia River—to the population of the Cape of Good Hope, or to that of Java and China. And then, amidst all this condensation of industry, you will in quire, how are all these people to be fed ? But go to the Ohio, and there see a change of scene. There you see a new species of industry, equally extensive and equally flourishing. There you see the desert everywhere receding before the advancing tide of civilization ; there you see the pioneers of civilization raising their log-huts, and speedily surrounded by corn-fields that are capable of supporting whole provinces ; and in every field the black trunks of the forest are standing. And you cannot but think of the concourse of population at 'home when you see such forests which must in the coarse of a few months be covered with food sufficient to support all Huddersfield. Is not this, then, a natural and healthful dependence ? Shall we not expect men will avail themselves of this beno• ficent arrangement? And can it be doubted that, in sewn* of scarcity, it would be highly desirable to see the maiac.. turing labourer of our own country breaking his fast on corn of Ohio bread, and that it might easily be supposed that the corn-grower would have an inclination to exchange a por tion of his produce for a Manchester cotton frock or shirt, a coat of the woollen of Leeds, a Sheffield knife, or a Bir mingham spoon? Instead of this, the object of our Legis lature has been to make that sort of independence, that while the people on this side of the Atlantic must submit t i h n o p se su o i n iam th e e n o t, th an er d si w de ill a w re a r t i e vab di : marvelling at your p a th a n ta d st ; w e t t ed t fro h s e u r w l t i h ies ll e s o ta l f ,o n f r T i d u gn , p -office, igno rance of the principles of free trade.—(Laughter and ap plause.) These, however, I believe, are the merits of bee Majesty's present Ministers, as respects the prosperity which the country has lately enjoyed. Good harvests have pre vented bad corn-laws proving very bad. The Govern menthasbeensa vedi f n roni spite of these laws.—(Applause.) It has had a run of good luck ; and those who have not observed them closely, have confounded that good luck with good laws. But good luck will not last for ever.—(Applause.) Providence will not send the rain and the sunshine in the quantity which will be necessary to save the reputation of short-sighted statesmen.—(Great applause.) I have reason to believe we are on the verge of very unprosperons times. I wish, however, to say nothing that can prejudice the minds a a t n t y em o p th ti e n r g k to ind ra s i o se t of the public, or excite undue alarm. I observe that the i t i s l e eeulsestrnhocafoyn g r ai n, ds languageeucut eionr defenders of the present Administration say there is no chance provisions ; but that the Whigs and the Anti-Corn-law Le e nusgei.—(nformA.paptliaonnsei.n) mbuytsewlfhagatatihnestmstrah_ iah o m f apvp a aeu n nta y bi -etei great onni:tuhriseliitsiryeae shall olo n frue t st: l eh i e tenh p ova r ref l ere ho n l ee d in to my th h e an te d iunt a le of t- N s , t e e r r n s m th en em t, se d l es ve hi s ter from Sir Thomas Fremantle, Secretary to the Irish Go the potato crop in that country. The view he gives of the prospects of the coming year in that part of the United Kingdom is worthy of attention. He says...." Her Majesty's Government, in seeking to learn the opinion of judges awl well. informed persons in every part of Ireland regarding the possibility of the supply being sufficient for the support of the people during the ensuing winter and spring, pro vided that care should be taken in preserving the stock, and economy used in its consumption." Now, observe in this letter, it is not even suggested that there is a stock, which, with care and economy, will last even throughout the winter and spring. Now, I ask you, when any Government can sa y this at a time when the duty on corn is 15.. (when that letter was written it was 175.) is it necessary to say more about the merits of the present system. When that system was first brought before us, it was alleged to have that woo. derful sliding faculty which would ep ic us from sacrificin g our interests ; but you see just when it required to fall it stands stiff. You have the Irish population crying famine. while the index of your corn-law i s pointed to pl.enty. It la possible Sir Thomas Fremantle ma y be able to g ive some ex planation of this in the House of Commons, but what that may be I confess lamat a loss to conceive. He proceeds to recommend certain measures for securing the crop, and thus they quietly leave the ports closed. But this brings me round again to my main argument. You see we are um again approaching a dear time—a time when food vat be dear. Already, I believe, it is no exaggeration to, fty that the price which the labouring man pays for itc and t ip :lied is half as much again as it was a few rumb a ago. , here we can bring to the test the doctriales oftliese 7 ho :this is a capitalist's question, and We " the labourer h as ue 2i . -71 1 ~' fi EASE IN WALKING, WILLIAM BADDELEY, of 130, STRAND, ?Ai r , is I nduced to give p u bli c it y to h i s muc h -a d m i re d PRE- . 14E1 4 _jw .tf e ILLIETATTHER (so not e d f or ex t reme SOFTNESS and ). oonseqpence of the patronage he has received, 10r, the satisfaction given by him in manufacturing the above 0..
