I am very happy to hays an opportunity to attend you here to-day, and to express e complete and entire concurrence in the sentiments which see so generally pervading the meeting.—(Applause.) lr venture to propose to this meeting, in anticipation of that—if the folly of Government will force us to further measures of agitation—a resolution which demands the removal of these raves. The 'resolution is, "That the existing corn-laws are at all times productive of evil, but are peculiarly. so in the present emergency of 'the country, by excluding the relief which could be obtained from abroall; and that the continued. `apathy of the Government, under present circumstances, is highly reprehensible and full of danger to the people."— (Applause.) I take it that the fate of the existing corn-• laws is doomed ; and I take it further to be clear that with the present system the corn-law, and the whole system of corn-laws will fall. The arguments for a free trade in corn are now happily triumphant ; they are in themselves so clear, that all except interested parties, or parties wh©r are still interested in the maintenance of a fixed duty,. are convinced of their truth. There is some plausibility nu the argument for a fixed duty—not, I think, a sound argu ment, however—but for the sliding-scale, all our experience' goes to show its inutility and disadvantage. I profess that all the consideration I have been able to give the subject has only satisfied me—and I believe satisfied all who are i o no p re e d3 n i ao t ut o er conviction—that sr• prospectsk ic e t t i o , n a — onfd t s h uf a op t rp la i y t ny i s market, ahr absolutely e will el l and entirely un tenable. The sliding-scale puts an end to all foreign growth f excepting his ing seed' for i the n the spring time, when lie is uncertain. of a buyer in the harvest, and when he may be left with corn in his hand, which is not necessary for his own country, and which will not be allowed into yours ?—(Hear, hear.) Those who supported the sliding scale refused the point of a fixed duty. They said a fixed duty won't do; the only thing that would do, they said, was a sliding-scale, and therefore they imposed a sliding-scale on the country as an experiment. Well, they have got their experiment made, and if they are now obliged to give it up, as indefensible, as I am persuaded it is, these men cannot fall back on the question of a fixed duty, but must join us in the question of a free trade in corn.—(Hear, hear.) A great defect in the sliding-scale is this, that it gives no en-• couragement at sll to, and, indeed, it quite prevented, growth abroad to supply our market. Another gross defect in it, and a most singular fallacy is, that a harvest should only be deficient in point of quantity. It was said by the proposers of the sliding-scale that their system was an ad mirable one. They said that when the harvest was . small . the prices ros.s, and that they rose in proportion to the small ness of•t';ie tarvest. Well, when the prices rise, we open ahe ports, say they ; a little at first, but afterwards to a greater extent ; and this supply which we let in, in the extent to which we open the ports, is exactly equivalent to the defi ciency in the quantity of the harvest, so that the people are supplied as nearly as possible with their ordinary quantity of food. Now, this sounds all very well ; but alas, who shall tell me that the only difference °in the harvest of one year from another is the difference in quantity ? Is there no such thing as a difference in quality ? Are we not now suffering, and in a marked and signal manner,, from the dif ference also of quality ? And if the quality of the harvest be bad just look at the absurdity of the statement of the supporters of the sliding scale—if the quality of the harvest be bad, the badness of the quality keeps down she which the deficiency in the quantity should raise ; and the sliding scale fails entirely.—(Hear, hear.) But there was one great advantage promised by Sir R. Peel to flow from the sliding-slale. It was hisgrand argument when pressed for a fixed duty. He said that if they adopted a fixed duty, they might depend on it that the law would not stand the first season of want and scarcity which would occur. They would be obliged to forego 4s. or ss. of fixed duty, as the people would rise against it, and it should be taken off, and the law would become ineffectual; whereas a sliding-scale would gradually open the ports, and there would be no violent contest between the practice of trade and the law of the country. Sir Robert held this to be a conclusive argument. See, now, how. Providence and the necessities of the country will destroy everything that seemed most plausible at first. The sliding-scale has been for three years in existence. These had been years of prosperity, and it now happened that on the first oc casion on which it could be tried, in the first season in which there was a deficiency, the sliding-scale has been found defective ; and I don't believe that there is a man in the community, excepting those parties who met in Cabinet Council by themselves, who was not of opinion that the sliding-scale must, like a fixed duty, give way before the dangers which threatened the country, and that the ports. without regard to this system of plausibilities and theoretical argument, must be opened to let in food for the people.

GLOUCF-WER Dr c. 2.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of the citylof doucester and its vicinity was held in the Shire hall last night, " for the purpose of considering what mea sures should be adopted to obtain the abolition of the corn and provision laws." There were about 800 persons present, including 70 or 80 ladies, who were seated in what is called the " orchestra." _ The MAlrolz (Mr. Hughes) was unanimously voted to the chair, on taking which he observed, that a difference of opinion prevailed amongst parties upon the subject which was to be discussed that night; some wished the total aboli tion of the corn-laws, others for a continuance of the present system, and others again for a small fixed duty. It appeared to him that the majority of the community desired the total repeal of the corn-laws ; but lie hoped a fair hearing would be given, should any gentleman stand forth to advocate a dif ferent opinion.—(Hear, hear,) • Letters were read from Captain M. F. F. Berkeley and Mr. Phillpotts, the Members for the city, excusing their absence from the meeting on the ground of having pre-engagements, but, at. the same time, expressing their desire to co-operate with their constituents and others in order to obtain the re peal of the corn-laws. Mr. BOWLIiY, a member of the Society of Friends, proposed the first resolution : _ _ _ downfall of that odious and selfish system of monopoly, the present corn-laws.— (Continued cheering.) Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., expressed his delight at the aspect of the present meeting, convinced as he was of the importance of the question under consideration to Gloucester, as well as to Manchester and the other cities and towns of England. It was a question of justice to every class of the people of Eng land, or he should not have taken, or now take, a prominent part in the discussion of it. H e b e lie ve d it would be univer sally acknowledged very shortly that this was not a question. for the mill:and the shop more than for the farm. It would be admitted as a truth that the laws by which a country was governed ought to be just and impartial, and especially guarded against inflicting any injury upon the great mass of the population. He and his friend claimed to themselves the title of the advocates of a measure which had for its object the doing of justice to all classes, without doing injury to any one; and they were there that night for , the purpose of denouncing the principle of protection or monopoly, whe ther applied to corn or any trade, or interest, or branch of industry in the kingdom. The Honourable Gentleman concluded a lengthened address by urging those who could get 401. or 501. together to purchase 40s. freeholds and get county votes. They could not be governed by men who were ignorant of their wants and claims, and therefore they must seek to be properly represented in Parliament. Let them arm themselves to the battle with those weapons that the constitution, Christianity, morality, and humanity fur nished; and they might rely upon it that before long the hideous mischief called the corn-laws would be driven into oblivion.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. TROTTER proposed another, to the effect— " That this meeting has heard with the greatest satisfac tion the declarations of Lord J. Russell and Lord Morpeth in favour of the total abolition of the corn-law, as a most deci sive proof of the progress of free-trade opinions, and a great encouragement to the electors to endeavour to return two free-trade Members for the eastern division of Gloucester shire." Alderman WASUBOURN seconded the resolution, which was uuanimously adopted. V A rote of thanks to the city Members, arid one also to the Mayor, were agreed to, and the proceedings terminated at ten o'clock. NEWIMMINI3IOII.I6 OPENING OF T-11:EPORTS. PUBLIC MEETING IN LLMBETII. Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth was held at the Vestry-hall, Church-street, to take into con sideration the deficiency of the harvest and failure of the po tato crop in many parts of the United Kingdom, particularly Ireland; and to come to such resolutions thereon as might be deemed exyedient. • I'. W. NIXON, Esq., churchwarden, took the chair, and opened the business by adverting to the present state of the country with respect to food, and the necessity for some ener getic measures for the relief of the people. Mr. SEWELL moved tho first resolution : " That the meeting views with feelings of alarm the defi ciency of the last harvest, and general failure of the potato crop in Great Britain and Ireland, and therefore deem it to be the imperative duty of her Majesty's Government to open the ports immediately for the admission of human food, exempt from all duties." C. EVANS, Esq., said he did not think the resolution went far enough. He thought if ever men deserved censure it was her Majesty's Ministers, and it was the duty of the people to petition her Majesty . fur their removal, in order that some more honest men might take their places. He intended to move a resolution of a stronger character, but he did not object to second the proposition then before the meeting. Mr. FALL said it was necessary that a resolution should be adopted, calling on her Majesty to dismiss her present Ministers. Why did not Sir Robert Peel do his duty? The country was suffering under the corn-laws. Men were taking corn eut of bond in this country, and carrying it to foreign ports, where it was admitted without payment of duties. He did not doubt but some of the:same grain would be brought back again, and imported for the use of the people at an enormous price, when the demand for food became more pressing. The Government, instead of opening the ports, had sent some scientific men to Ireland, who had reported that the potatoes were diseased. Then, by way of remedy, the people were told to get a tub, and scrape and rasp the potatoes.—(Laughter.) At last they got Professor Buckland to look after the thing, and that learned person found out, with great sagacity, that beetroot aid turnips were good enough for the poor, instead of potatoes. If the professor had said to the Government—" Be good enough to throw in a leg of mutton with the turnips," the people might have thanked him. Then Sir Robert Peel was an advocate for railways—there was to be a post-office at Tamwerth, and the Right Hon. Baronet had opened the ground for the rail way, keeping the spade in his apartments to satisfy the cu riosity of his friends. Lord John Russell came next. What had they to thank that Noble Lord for? They should not forget that he was the father of the poor-law. They had a score against him for that. The Noble Lord once said he would ever support the landed interest; and at the present day he came forward to say he had been twenty years chang ing his opinion on the corn-law. The resolution was carried unanimously. OXFORD, SOUT lIAMPTON, GOSPORT, AND PORTSM OUTH RAILWAY.

ROWL AND'S ICALYD OR, an eminently balsamic preparation; is equally celebrated for its safety in application, as for its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly purifying the skin of all redness, pimples, spots, freckles, tan, and discolourations ; producing a healthy freshness and transparency of complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the hands, arms, and neck ! In cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, it is pre-eminently successful, and gentlemen after shaving will find it allay all irritation and tenderness of the skin, and render it soft, smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Cont inent of Europe, together with the " elete" of the aristocracy, and " haute volee." Its high reputation Induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en dangering health.

GORE —The classifiers of literary productions will be rather puz zled what place to assign to one which has just been intro duced to the public by Mrs. Gore. We allude to " The Queen of Denmark," a hook, the most important events and cir cumstances of which are strictly historical, and which must have been so designated, but for the links of fiction that neces sarily connect those scenes. It relates the brief career of the lovely Caroline Matilda, youngest sisterof our George lll.,!con sort of Christian VII. of Denmark, and mother of the late King Frederick VI., the causes of whose misfortunes, which involved her in the fall of Struensee, the Minister, hurled her from the throne, tore her from her children, and exiled her for life from her adopted country, have never before been de tailed with such a convincing truthfulness, and such an un pretending simplicity, as are infinitely more captivating than the most ostentatious efforts of art. SMITIIFIELD CLUB CATTLE Snow.—The workmen are busily engaged in the completion of the building for the accommodation of the show, which will commence on Wed.. nesday next. Many improvements and additional conve niences have been made in the rooms and galleries appro priated for the exhibition of implements, which branch of the institution increases every year in importance. The judges will make their awards on Tuesday, prior to which all the stock and implements must be deposited. The general meet ing of the club will take place on Thuisday, when the grin , cipal business will be the election of a president, in the room ; of the late Right Hon. Earl Spencer, who, it iS understood, i will be succeeded by the Duke of Richmond. " That this meeting participates in the feeling of deep re sponsibility which, under the alarming circumstances of the country as to an inadequate supply of provisions, devolves upon every member of the community to do all he can to re move, as speedily as possible, all restrictions upon the impor tation of food for the people ; and, considering that increas ing the number of voters was one of the most effective means for the accomplishment of that important object, earnestly recommends the Anti-Corn-law Association of the city of Gloucester and its neighbourhood to attend to the qualifica tion of voters for the city, and the surrounding districts within the eastern division of the county." He said, lie moved the resolution with great pleasure, because he considered taxes upon food to be the worst of all taxes. They were taxes which pressed most heavily upon those who were the least able to pay them: On examining his house hold expenses, he found that they amounted to only one fortieth part of his expenditure, while the hard-working p - ForiTr74l`' -, thli country paid one-half or. more ut their small pittance in the shape of such taxation. So that they were, in fact, taxes upon the poor to fill the pockets of the rich. It was on this ground that he had re fused to join in getting up a meeting to protest against the income-tax, which, because it came near to a property tax, he would rather see levied than a bread-tax. He denied that the repeal of the corn-laws would injure the agricultural interest. As a proof of his sincerity in respect to that opinion, he had recently laid out 3,000/. in land, and he had ex pended more money upon its cultivation than had been so expended for many years bef6re. Argument upon this question was pretty well given up in the House of Commons, and their two friends, Cobdea and Bright, had it all their own way.—(Cheers.) But there was a great force arrayed against them—the power of influence and of the pocket. The only way to meet that force was to purchase freeholds and extend the elective franchise among the corn-law re peelers, so as to secure the return of men who would repre sent their opinions in Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. T. M. STURGE (another " Friend"), in seconding the resolution, declared it to be his opinion that the present system of averages not only prevented the people from ob taining a proper supply of corn, but that it was also injurious to the farmers themselves; and argued that the League ought not to be censured for trying to increase the number of corn-law repealers on the election registers, for they were only taking a leaf out of the book of Sir R. Peel, who, at the close of one of his speeches, emphatically exclaimed, " Re gister ! register ! register !"—(Cheers.) Mr. COBDEN, M.P., said, it seemed to him, that go where he would, the same wide-spreading and enthusiastic interest was felt upon the question in hand. He had been recently attending meetings in Lancashire and Yorkshire almost every night, and amongst the tall chimnies and smoky factories of those localities, it was natural that the people should be strongly interested in a free-trade question. But the same appeared to be the case in the cotton districts and under the shadows of the cathedrals of Gloucester and Bristol.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It was therefore no sectarian or selfish question.—( Hear, hear.) The large and intelligent audience he was addressing did not consider that the repeal of the corn-laws would throw land out of cultivation, rob farmers of their capital, or deprive the labourers of employment.— (Hear, hear.) The interest the audience felt in the question was a contradiction to all the false statements which were put forth upon it. He confessed himself unable to find anything new to say about it. The fact was, the question was settled, and the otily meeting they ought to anticipate was one grand assembly to rejoice at the downfal and extinction of the present corn-law system.—(Loud cheers.) He was anxious, however, to have it understood that the triumph they were to win could not be that of one class over another.—( Hear.) There had been heartburnings enough about one class being favoured at the expense of another. The repeal of the corn-laws would be a benefit to all classes.—(Cheers.) Ho could not except that repeal on any other terms; he would not accept it as an injury done to the farmers or as a bonus to the manufacturers.—(Hear, hear.) But if any one, either iii the House of Commons or out of it, could show that the maintenance of the corn-laws was bene ficial to the farmers, he would give up his point. Where were the men who, two years ago, raised an outcry in that city against the League ?—(Hear.) The protectionists of Gloucester knew that the corn-laws were to be abolished.— (Hear.) Every mail and every post announced the news. Two years ago the 'protectionists told them, "If you allow the corn-laws to be abolished, you will be able to pay no rent." Well, if that were true, in what a predicament would the rent-rolls of those gentlemen be placed !—(Hear, and laughter.) The protectionist squires of Gloucestershire had told their farmers, that should the corn-laws be abolished they would not be able to compote with foreigners, even if they had their lands rent free.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, those squires were in a perfect mess ; for the corn laws were going to be abolished.—(Cheers and laughter.) Those gentry knew it; and :if they were wise— but most of them had not sense enough for anything—they would call the farmers together and say,—" Gentlemen, don't you think it is just possible we have been mistaken? After all, may not that Cobden be right? He told us that we could compete with foreigners in corn as well as in flax and other articles."—(Hear, hear.) He should not be sur prised if in less than six. months he found himself quoted by those very gentlemen. In fact, he did not see how they could get a farthing of rent, unless they came to him and took his advice.—(A laugh.) The Duke of Richmond, who stood at the head of this choice squad, once said, "Should the corn laws be abolished, I will bring in a Bill to:cancel all existing leases, and make fresh ones, in order that the farmers may have their farms at reduced rents." He (Mr. Cobden) would take care to remind the Noble Duke of his words.—( Cheers and laughter.) Those protectionists were the men who had been leading by the nose the farmers, many of whom, judging by their tanned faces, he thought he saw before him. The protectionist landlords might get as good rent out of their lands without the corn-laws as with them. For himself, he would rather take a lease of 21 years, if he knew that the existing laws were to be abolished to-morrow, than if they were to - be continued the whole of that term. But the question of rent could not be settled by the landlords. There was a statesman of sufficient standing ready to do their work in the Legislature, and he was a great gain indeed. — (Cheers.) But let them recollect that Lord J. Russell had said they were not to depend on him for the carrying of this measure, for that it could only be carried by an unequivocal demonstration of the will of the people.—(Hear, hear.) It rested with the people of England to do the work. The more they wrapped themselves up in a sense of false security, the more they trusted to this or that man to accomplish the end in view, the less likely were they to succeed.—(Hear, hear.) The people in the north of England did not intend to depend on any man, but to carry this measure themselves ; and, judging from the present meeting, he had no doubt that at the fitting time Gloucester would be as ready as Manchester and other places to take its part in the struggle. Let those who charged the League with wishing for low wages and worse food for the working classes know that they abhorred such wishes. They desired to seethe people supplied with good wheaten bread, and beef, and bacon, and pork, and to that end there must be more provisions furnished to the eaters, and if there was not enough at home, let it come in from abroad. At Manchester, one of the largest meetings ever held there resolved to support Sir R. Peel if he would open the ports; and that was the general feeling throughout all England. Lord John Russell, in his magnanimous letter, said he would support Sir Robert in that measure. Nobody could blame him for passing it; it would strengthen his hands. But his responsibility would be immensely increased if he did not adopt that measure.—(Hear, hear.) Every meeting such as the present, in which such a sentiment met a cordial response, proved that if Sir R. Peel had followed the example of the Continental Powers, which he ought long ago to have fol lowed, he would now be in possession of the unanimous support of the country.—(Hear.) If he did not do it, why then—(a pause)—he would be a fallen man.—(Loud cheers.) As a Lancashire man, he was sorry for it; for he used to think Sir Robert had more "pluck."—(Laughter.) He had always said that the proper time for the repeal of the corn -laws was one of low prices, and he had told Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons last session that he was a rash man if he allowed Parliament to separate without repealing the corn-laws.—(Hear, hear, an d c heers.) Sir Robert had called those rash men a year ago who proposed theirrepeal ; but still he told Sir Robert last June, in the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion,—" Now is the time, when wheat is from 40s. to 465. a quarter, to repeal the corn-laws, and if you allow the session to pass without repealing them you are the rash men, and we are the cautious men, who want ;to abolish this system while prices are low."—(Renewed cheering.) But those who knew the aristocracy best were of opinion that these restrictions upon the importation of food would never be got rid of except in a time of scarcity or famine. That seemed to be probable. It appeared that during the next twelve months there would be greater scarcity than ever; and it was very likely that these corn-laws would be torn from the statute-book amid the excitement of an infuriated, because a starving popu lation.—(Loud cheers.) Had the corn-laws been abolished before, we should not now have felt any alarm at the failure of the potato crop ; for there was always an abundant stock on hand of all other articles in which the trade was free, such as cotton, silk, spices, and indigo. He charged on those who maintained the existing corn-laws the responsibility of so doing. He said, with Mr. O'Connell in Ireland, "If you have the people perishing for want of food next spring, those who maintained the sliding-scale, and refused by an Order in Council to do what foreign nations have done, are responsible for all the misery and loss of life that may ensue."—(Hear.) How was it that Sir R. Peel in England did not act as humanely and with the same common sense as the Dutch, Belgian, and Russian Governments? Because he felt himself responsible, not to the Queen, not to the people, but to an oligarchy of landlords, who placed him in power, and who had kept him there so long.—(Cheers.) He was not malign ing them. The Duke of Richmond had said the same thing. At Steyning he said, " We. who made him Prime Minister, if he does not do our bidding, will unmake him." That ac counts for the people of England being treated worse than the people of Holland, Belgium, or Russia.—(Hear, hear.) The Prime Minister of this country was a tool, a mannikin anq in the hands of the Dukes of Richmond, Buckingham, Co , who pulled the wires, and did what Russia, Belgiuni,tiatnua.. Holland durst not, because they were shielded by p of men who were called the representatives of the poop Members for who counteracted the votes of such men as the nclusion he o i o n l d order support t o tional form of government, and were supported by a t c he n : e v , o b t u es t the city of Gloucester.—(Hear, 4ohrrdeel!lholods: u en rg ab ed le h t i h s em aud th ito r rs etu to rn p c u o r t ch in a t the repeal of the corn-laws, and prevent t city members Let than) do that, and the next time they met it would be only to raise a hearty cheer of three-times-three at the and the voice of the constituency from being neutralised. yse-members ~,_, Mr. C. Ewa vs then moved— " That this meeting is of opinion that her Majesty's Mi nisters have neglected their public duty in not opening the ports for the admission of corn ; that they have thereby lost the confidence of the country, and that a memorial be pre sented to her Majesty, praying that she will dismiss her present advisers, and call to her councils men who are pre pared to act on the economic principles admitted by all par ties, and by allowing all kinds of food to be imported free of duty, promote the welfare of the country." Mr. Wusow seconded the resolution. At the present time starvation was staring the people in the face, and Sir Robert Peel, for reasons best known to himself refused to carry out his own proposition. He did hope her Majesty would dismiss her present Ministers, and take men with more honesty of purpose. Mr. O'GRADY opposed the resolution. He did not see what they would gain by displacing Sir Robert Peel. Who would they find to succeed him? Would they have the 'Whigs? A VOICE in the meeting—There are no Whigs now in existence. Mr. O'GRADY continued—Sir Robert Peel was squeezeable. They had squeezed something out of him, but from the Whigs they could get nothing. A committee was nominated to draw up the memorial, and the meeting separated. PUBLIC MEETING IN NOTTINGHAM. A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town took place on Monday last, at the Exchange-rooms, to memorialise the Government, in the present alarming state of affairs, to open the ports. The meeting was called for eleven in the forenoon, and soon after that hour the room was crowded, and on the plat form we observed Thomas Herbert, Esq., Mayor ; Rev. W. Mills, Rev. S. Jones, Rev. Wm. Linwood, Rev. Jos. Gilbert, Rev. James Edwards, Rev. B. Carpenter, and Messrs. G. Gill, Felkin, Bean, Hill, Wilson, Rideout, Cripps, Cooper, Roberts, jun., J. Bradley, T. Knight, W. Enfield, Wm. Hol lins (Pleasley Works), llis (Mansfield), N. Hurst, jun., Allen, Roper, Whelby, &c. The Mayor (Taos. HERBERT. Esq.), on the motion of Mr. Bean, seconded by Mr. Felkin, was unanimously called to the chair, and on opening the business, after apologising for the weakness of his voice, expressed his hearty concur rence with the object for which the meeting had been con vened, and he, therefore, on the requisition being pre sented, bad no hesitation in calling his fellow- townsmen together.—(Applause.) It was not only in reference to the present exigency,. arising from the failure of the potato crop, and a deficiency m the harvest, that he wished the ports to be opened, but upon a general principle, and he hoped they would be opened never to be closed again.—(Applause.) Under existing circumstances, he was convinced, unless some resourse was opened, the people of this country might look forward, ith care and anxiety; but he would not enlarge, as other gentlemen were ready to speak at length upon the übject.—(Applause.) Mr. Munn . , after an excellent speech, moved the follow ing resolution , That the deficiency of the harvest and the serious injury to the potato crops, have deservedly produced the utmost apprehension amongst all classes of the community, and that our circumstances in particular require the instant free ad mission of corn and other articles of food into the ports of the United Kingdom." The motion being put was carried unanimously, with loud applause and clapping of hands. Mr. THOMAS ROPER, a working man, then moved that an address be presented to our gracious and beloved Queen ; and in his speech he referred to his recollections concerning the state of trade before the corn-laws were enacted ; the remon strances that were made, and in which he took a part at the time they were under consideration ; and the circumstances of the corn-laws being passed at the mouth of the cannon. At that time the President of America (Jeffersen) wished that their corn and provisions should be sent to this country ; l and in Congress it was said, if the corn-laws were passed here, the people of America would manufacture for themselves there. They have become manufacturers, and our rivals. He then moved the following address : " To Sir Robert Peel, Bart., First Lord of her Majesty's ury. " The Memorial of the Treas inhabitants of the borough of Nottingham " Showetb,—That your memorialists • contemplate with deep interest the fearful augmentation of the existing dis tress with :which the people of the. United Kingdom are threatened, in consequence of the deficiency of the late harvest. "That by the restriction on the importation of grain and other articles of subsistence, not only do a considerable por tion of the community suffer from the want of sufficient sup port, but the home trade is seriously depressed, the people having to expend in food what they would otherwise pay for clothing, fuel, furniture, and 'for better places of habitation, and that experience has shown that an abundant and cheap supply of the first necessaries of life has been attended with increased employment and a higher rate of wages. " That your memorialists feel assured that a free trade in food, especially with the United States of America, woul d n s e . c alonetu a l re lief b e afford us a large supply—would be highly advantageous to the trade of this district, as well as to the interests of the com munity at large, and would exert a beneficial influence over all the relations existing between the two countreie f l r ' o o m u r t m h e e m im or p ia en lis d t i s ng earnestly y raenpdrespent, th at effectual ri rt v s a k these kind obtained by immediately opening the po of food oms for the free admission of corn and othe r articles therefore, urge upon you, Sir, as the head of her Majesty's Government, the imperative necessity of issuing an order in Council for this purpose. Which was put and carried. a ll ud e t i called l o e d f . the to. magistrates the chair, PUBLIC MEETING IN LEITH. A public meeting, called by requisition, was held in Trinity Bouse, Leith, .on Monday afternoon. Provost council, was ny supported seve r b a y l of the more influential inhabitants, and by the representa tive of the burgh, Andrew Rutherfurd, Esq. The PROVOST stated that he had great pleasure in calling the meeting, and hoped that the expression of feeling which had been manifested so generally throughout the country, would lead her Majesty's Ministers to throw open the ports for the admission of foreign grain at this momentous crisis. GEORGE BERRY, Esq., Chairman of the Leith Chamber of a l i t ") p n ro ' p v o a F s Commerce, moved the first resolution, which was seconded by the Rev. Dr. Harper, of Leith, one of the professors of the United Secession Church. It was as follows—" That this meeting is convinced that the country is now threatened by a scarcity of the necessary food of the people, which, afiugtrcel without wise and energetic measures, must result in pnva- Um and great aufferiug of the people." " Sir,—l have had the honour to receive your letter of the 29th ult., accompanying a memorial of the inhabitants of Li verpool, in public meeting assembled, expressing their opi nion that measures ought to be forthwith adopted for pro viding for the immediate admission by law of all kinds of food, duty free. " I will not fail to communicate the memorial to her Ma jesty's confidential servants. " I have the honour to be, Sir, .4f " Your obedient servant, " ROBERT PEEL. " William Brown, Esq." HORRIBLE MURDER in CLIFTON. It appears that a woman named Bridget Barrett cohabited with a man named Mannion, by whom she had a child. It. having lately come to her knowledge that he was about. being married to another woman, she being aware of his mode of living, and some secrets connected, threatened to expose and prosecute him if he did not marry her. In. order to quiet her, he held out some promise of marriage, and induced her to sell a cow she had to pay the marriage expenses. He enjoined on her the most strict secrecy, stating that he had, no money, and that his friends would be enraged with him if they heard it. It was arranged that on a given night they , would be married, and that they should go the mainland on that evening from the island they lived on, Errislannen, a distance of a little more than half a mile, to Roundstone, where the priest lived. Bridget Barrett, however, before going to the mainland, told her sister the particulars, en joining her to keep the matter secret. The sister, however, did not do so, but told a male acquaintance of her's all she heard, and he being curious to see them off, hid himself behind a rock on the shore, and plainly saw Mannion,, with his brother-in-law, Thomas Cosgrave, and Bridget Bassett, enter a boat together, and push off towards the mainland. He remained there a considerable time awaiting their return, but there were then only two men in the boat. At this very time, on the opposite shore, there were a num ber of persons playing at cards. The door of the house they were in being open, one of them remarked that he surely had heard the scream of a woman crying out " Oh, my back is broken !" However, Bridget Barrett was nowhere to be heard of. Suspicion having fallen on those parties, one of them, Mannion, was sent to our county gaol a few days ago. After a good deal of search and inquiry had been , made the. body of a woman was washed ashore where the accused and, Bridget Barrett had previously got into the boat. The body was at once recognised as that of Bridget Barrett, although much disfigured, the hands and legs having been literally torn off; it is thought they were tied together, and then tied to an anchor, which is missing from one of the neighbour's, boats. The place about it was dragged, and it is supposed' that the drag came in contact with the body, and tore it away from the anchor. Much praise is due to Mr. Jones,. R.M., for the diligent exertions he made to discover the perpetrators of this murder. On the body being found ha sent for Andrew Hosty, Esq., coroner, Tuam, who held an inquest on the body, on the days of the 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th instant. The following is the verdict :—" We find that the said Bridget Barrett was allured into a boat in the harbour of Rosaenule, in the county of Galway, by James Mannion and Thomas Cosgrave (Dominick), both of whom wilfully murdered the said Bridget Barrett on the high seas, in the bay of Roundstone, on the night of the 10th of Sep tember last."—Galway Indicator. WESTMINSTER REFORM SOCIETY.—Last night, at eight o'clock, a highly influential meeting of the electors of Westminster, members of the Westminster Reform Society, was held at Stannard's Hotel, Charles-street, Covent-garden, " to take into consideration what measures shall be adopted by the society, under the apprehended scarcity of food." There were genelemen present from the whole of the parishes. Mr. Prout was appointed to the chair. After some discussion Mr Austin stated that the country was in a most perilous situation, as it was well known that such was the deficiency of the wheat crop, that they had not a sufficiency of corn to last till the harvest. He moved the following resolution : " That in consequence of the failure of the recent crops of corn and potatoes, a public meeting of the inhabitants of ar ce d rni s ng erv th ic e e Westminster be convened, to memorialize her Majesty to direct the immediate opening of the ports for the admission the present crisis may seem to require." of foreign grain free of duty, and to adopt eu The resolution was ch measures . as agreed to unanimously, and a numerous committee of all the parishes was formed to carry out-the object, it being left to them whether a requisition should be Presented to the High Bailiff. DESTRUCTION OF A Snip BY FIRE.—On Tuesday the wreck of a burnt ship, ashore on the Devonshire coast, n as ted rec near Bideford :—" On Saturday morning, about daybreak, a co eiv a ed at e° Gu n the preventive station of , discovery a tt ac h e ti of f o Clovelly, while on the look out, noticed a ship on shore off Wellcombe. Having given the necessary alarm, be proceeded to inspect it, when he found she was without masts and burned down to the water's-edge. She appeared to be about four hundred tons burthen, laden t c h o e rp f , :o r l a l e l w o i f n g o l e ett 3 e f r ou w with timber, from which, it is presumed, she is from Ame rica. Mr. Staff, the chief officer of the Coast-guard station, lost no time in adopting measures to save her cargo, which floated out of the wreck as the tide rose. Nothing was found on board to lead to her identity, every portion of her, with the exception of the lower part of the hull, being destroyed." It is more than probable that she is the same vessel that was passed in flames on the 10th of last month by the Diamond, of Exeter, and supposed to be the Abeona, of New Ross, from Quebec. If she proves to be the same, the crew have been all saved. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TOITHE LADY OF LIEUTENANT WAGHORN, R.N.—We regret to state that Mrs. Waghont, the lady of Lieutenant Waghorn, met with an accident last week, by which she received a compound fracture of one of her legs. The accident occurred on the way from her residence at Snod land to Strood in a four-wheeled carriage, driven by the man-servant, when the horse shyed at a donkey in the road, and started off. The servant begged his mistress to keep her seat, telling her he should be able to pull the horse up ; b u t she became alarmed, threw herself out, and thus unfortu nately her leg was fractured. METROPOLITAN DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION.—LBSt night a public meeting of assistants to drapers in the eastern districts of London was held in the Theatre of the Eastern Institution, Commercial -road ;G. F. Young, Ewi., in the chair. The meeting was addressed by employers, clergymen, and others favourable to the lessening of the hours of labour, and to the propriety of affording assistants an oppor tunity of improving themselves mentally and morally.
