An editor while managing a journal, No matter whether weekly or diurnal, Causes unnumbered letters to be written, From various parties, in and out of Britain ; And so do we—in a different station, Each conveys some fresh communication, Corroborating all that we have said, And telling us how wide our fame is spread. We thank our correspondents, and entreat Leave to reply upon the public sheet. A. B. declares, and so does D. C. S., That all their friends approve of MOSES' dress. MOSES and SON, says F, and X. Y. Z., As tailors, must be ever at the head. Victor writes to tell us of the fact, That distant places learn how MOSES act ; That while he visited a part remote, Ile read a statement from our house of note. True Blue declares—and E, and 0. P. Q., That MOSES shall be ever had in view. And A. E. T. 0. N. speaks also thus ; And Looker-on, and Quizzy, and Amiens, The whole of whom, whatever be their rank, We heartily, most heartily, as tradesmen thank.

THE FREE-TRADE CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS. BRUSSELS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 17.—The second of the three sittings of the Congress of Free Trade at Brus sels has been concluded, and as yet but two cham pions have come forward to defend protection, M. Duchataux and M. Rittinghausen. The former, a man of no ordinary capacity, came as a spectator, fully persuaded that many able defenders of protection would be present to defend their system. This not being the case, he could not calmly stand by and hear the attacks of his adversaries unanswered. With becoming modesty he ascended the tribune, and with an elegance combined with simplicity, and the most remarkable clearness of ideas, he endeavoured to make good the cause of protection. The highest praise that we can bestow upon him is—that we deem him worthy of a better cause. Of M. Ritting hausen I can but add what I stated yesterday, that he is an inveterate enemy of everything English, and a staunch supporter of the prohibitive system. No Englishmen spoke t o -d ay . A vo t e was come to, as you will see in the detailed account of this day's sitting, and, as might be expected, unanimously in favour of the free-traders. The absence of Protec tionists has taken greatly away from the interest which would otherwise have attended this congress, which, however, loses none of its importance from that fact. What the ultimate result will be is still a question. The peculiar position and circumstances of the states of the continent are so essentially different to our own that no fair comparison can be drawn. I left the congress yesterday just as Colonel Thomp son sat down. The only speaker after him was M. Dunoyer, who spoke from his seat without ascending the tribune. He expressed in a few words his admi ration for the lucid and siliiquent manner in which M. Duchataux had expressed himself; he, however, could not agree with the reasons brought forward by that gentleman in favour of protection. M. de Brouckere then proposed an adjournment to this day (Friday). The general discussion being now terminated, the order of the day for Friday was as follows : To examine free-trade. 1. In its international re lations : It is objected that nations are tributaries of each other as long as they consume foreign produce, we (the free traders), on the contrary, are of the opinion that by free trade they mutually assist each other. 2. In its relations with industry: the pro tective system pretends to defend the national labour in each country ; we, on the contrary, maintain that free trade will increase production in all parts. 3. Our adversaries (the Protectionists) pretend to protect the labouring classes; we (free traders) on the con trary, assert that it is impossible to ameliorate the condition of the working classes under the existing regime, and that such an end can only be attained by the theories of political economy being enforced. 4. As regards public impositions : the partisans of free trade maintain that free trade can alone effect an important reduction of the same. At eleven o'clock the sitting was opened. The attendance was better than yesterday. In addition to the persons I hare already mentioned, I remarked Prince Napoleon Bonaparte (son of Jerome Bona parte), General Dupont, ea-Minister of war, and nearly all the members of the Commercial Council of Brussels, Count de Glymer, member of the Permanent Council of Brabant, and the Marquise of Rumigny, French ambassador to the court of Belgium. A great many ladies were also present. M. de Brouckere opened the sitting in a short speech. He first announced that the Minister of the Interior had ordered permanent cards to be distributed to the foreigners for visiting the different monuments and attractions of the city, and I take advantage of the occasion to express thanks for the liberal hospi tality shown towards all corners by the good city of Brussels. Independently of the four questions in the order of the day, the President gave notice of the following propositions :—One from M. Bartels, member of the Communal Council of Brussels, to examine the best means for putting in practice the doctrines of free trade; another from M. Koener, of Amsterdam, to examine the means of replacing, in favour of the treasury, the duties which have hitherto obstructed the freedom of importations and exportations. The Count Arrivabene made the following proposition : That the Congress, although convinced that free trade is founded on the basis of reason and justice, he is of the opinion that, under the existing state of society, that liberty can only be established by de grees. All these were inserted in the order of the day. The last proposition was one for a postal reform in Belgium, brought forward by M. Fortamps, mem ber of the Belgian Free-trade Society. M. de Hessellie, a journalist of Verviers, attacked the principles expressed yesterday by M. Duchataux. He said that protection encouraged idleness. Free traders did not mean to deprive men of their daily bread ; but that it was but just to give the palm to the most industrious. He compared protection to an immense conflagration, the only difference being that in the first case it consumed by degrees, whilst in the latter the flames were apparent. Protection, he said, cost France an enormous sum ; protection it was, like the wood-worm, which by degrees eats away the timber of the vessel of the State. The Continent had the same economical advantage as England, and greater ones than Switzerland. Protection encouraged idleness, and rendered France subservient to other na tions, who, by competition, became masters of the different branches of industry. M. Walowski s a id t h at he had yesterday regretted the absence of an adversary ; he was happy to have found one to-day, wh ere talent and convenance were so happily blended, and he should endeavour to re fute the doctrines of th e Honourable Protectionist M. Duchataux. Accordi ng to him, protection was confined within certain li mits. Now he was of the thatopi teirfetshtetore walalsnaantiyonresr.il.sPubrostteacritcieonin en courage the home produ ce o f all articles of consumption; te it nd i e t d w t a o sof it encouraged a disast rous competition abroad, and compelled countries t o wrap themselves up in their equalniopi nion in own boundaries. Free trade, on the contrary, whilst it maintained the nationality of nations, formed bonds of fraternity between them. We were told yester day that there were two facteurs of industry, raw material and labour. The distinction is not a just one, every produce is the result of labour ; and the assertion that the exchange of raw material against manufactured goods is a loss to a people falls to the ground. On the contrary, there is a gain for him who exchanges little material for much labour, for no man works for the mere pleasure of working. The object of former economists in opposing exportation was to raise their prices ; and in opposing importa tion of foreign goods, to prevent a fall in the price of their own wares. It is well known that a reduction of produce was the result of the first system ; as re gards the second, it only deadens the faculties of ;the people. M. Duchataux conceded to us as regards ali mentary substances, and he was right; the freedom of such being in France a secular constitutional .right, prohibition dates from the restoration, it is an imita tion of the system established in favour of the English aristocracy. M. Duchataux quoted the example of our neighbours ; I should be sorry to see the result obtained at the price it cost our friends at the other side of the channel, at the price of the poverty that CULJSULIMS them. The supp res sion Of the custom houses will, it is said, lead to the most serious embar rassments, but the incompetent branches of industry must vanish, and a rich compensation will be found in the new markets throw* open to the true national industry. If England sends us her calicoes, you may be sure that Mulhouse and Paris will send their toiles peintes in exchange, which can nowhere be surpassed. What was the result of the reduction of our inter nal duties ? It was the general welfare. The re duction of international duties would be attended with the same results.—(Applause.) M. Anisson Duperron—Yesterday we were told by M. Duchataux, that if we were to admit foreign pro duce fabricated at a lower price than at home, we should be obliged to pay in specie, and would be gra dually ruined. I cannot take the question in this light —a nation cannot be compared to a prodigal son, who eats both rents and capital. M. Anisson Duper ron endeavoured to prove that produce was always paid by produce, even when there was a difference of prices. M. Gamier said he should not trespass on the time by entering into a discussion, but should read two songs of the poet Beranger, which he thought appli cable to the subject under discussion. The songs were " Le Contrebandier" and " Les Quatre Ages." M. Prince Smith attacked the principle laid down by M. Rittinghausen, and quoted different examples to prove that there was no difference in political eco nomy between the two of industry. M. Duchataux—My adversaries have endeavoured to prove that free trade will not ruin the industry of the continent ; this is in fact the key of the difficulty. I am well aware that in the true meaning of the word a nation is not ruined, it has always something left. A nation is not an individual; a nation consists of many individual parts, each having their own par ticular interests. If we provide ourselves abroad, a number of secondary branches of commerce will be ruined, and this is the more certain as all these branches are equally cultivated by all the nations of western Europe. If we could give produce for pro duce, the evil would not be so great; but we cannot, and we must pay in money. It has been said that money may be replaced by bills, and that the profit 2 15 0 1 15 0 3 3 0 O 8 0 O 8 6 O 8 0 1 2 0 1 6 0 1 5 0 .026 C — h — m — eree —ti— as Codrington ....................••.... 0 18 6 Cambridge', Chesterfield Polkas, and all the newest Tweed Coat •• .••••• ••• •••• •••••••• 000000 ••from 0 8 6 Sporting ditto ••••••••••••• • • • • • • "• • • • •• 06 6 Dress Coat ••••• • • • .. 1 0 0 Extra Superfine, a superior coat .... •••••• • • • • • • Ilb 0 from 1 4 0 Extra Superfine, a superior coat • • •••••••••• s• •• • • 2 2 0 Roll-Collar Vests 0 6 0 660 Fanny Satins Cloth, or C.a55imere................ ••• • • 0 4 6 Tweed Trousers. .......• • .... ..... •• ..... 0 4 6 Fancy Casslmere or Doeskin • ••••• •• I 0 6 Boys Tunic and Hussar snits • • • • •• 0 8 6 The attention of Ladles is especially directed to E.

It consists in the con gregation there of hosts of families, who have been evicted from their small holdings in the surrounding country, and have taken refuge iu ditches and other places in the vicinity. In such abodes, any language would be inadequate to express the condition of those unfortunates, who seem stupified from excessive suff.r ing into an almost insensible state. Their mode of living levels them almost with brutes. At oue quarter, where a bank of stones runs along a high road, they have formed in it cells of a few feet wide. Here whole families have been thrown promiscuously, whose condi tion is an offence to the feeling of the community. Pent up in such dens, fever preys incessantly upon the bodies of those miserable creatures. It appears that the magistrates, conscious of the disgrace of suffering the neighbourhood to be barbarised by . such spectacles, tried to represz them by tll.e powers of the bew vagrancy law ; but from the numbers to be dealt with, after the first display of legal severity, the attempt had to be abandoned, as absurd and inhuman.—Cork Exam i ner. SEPTEMBER 20, 184:7. on the exchange will equalise the prices. Gentlemen, I share this opinion, but this is an acknowledgment that we do stand in need of some protection, and be that protection direct or indirect, it is still a protec tion.---(Loud applause.) Protection has been accused of causing commercial crises. I think this a mistake; when all nations will produce in equal proportions, and the more so, when stimulated by competi tion, do you think that it will be restricted to the wants of consumption ? M. Duchataux then opposed the division of international labour as laid down by the free traders, as being likely to benefit only a certain class. When speaking of England it has been objected that I made no mention of poverty, that running wound of the protective system. I did not overlook it. Poverty is not the result of protec tion, but of an unequal division of riches ; and the proof is evident, for side by side by that hideous mi sery we behold the most colossal wealth. It is a so cial, and not an economical question, and in no way affects my assertions. After a speech which was lis tened to with the deepest attention, M. Duchataux concluded by saying that the present moment was not the right one for promulgating the doctrines of free trade. M. Blanqui rose to reply. Gentlemen, are you aware what protection is ? It is a tax upont abour for the profit of capital. And who have been con sulted on the question for the last twenty-five years? The capitalists, the parties most interested in its ob servance. And they follow the old proverb, " L'ap petit vient en mangeant." When the linen industry was established in France, they demanded a protec tive duty of 15 to 20 per cent., and would you believe it, that I beheld lately petitions on the table of a Mi nister demanding an increased duty to exclude en tirely, if possible, foreign threads ? As regarded Spain, he was of the opinion that she ought to cultivate her rich lands and flocks, instead of endeavouring to corn pete as a manufacturing nation. M. Dunoyer called upon M. Duchataux to reply to the fact of Switzerland—which produces silks and cotton tissues without any customs duties—to state if he was of the opinion that the manufacturers that now maintain themselves when paying a high duty for raw material would he ruined when they could procure them at much lower prices ? M. Dunoyer quoted the Zollverein as an example where a reduc tion produced no perturbation. M. Rittinghausen observed that a good deal had been said about the Zollverein. It was not to be overlooked that the Zollverein was a political as well as a commercial association. In Germany we are brethren—we are Germans all of us, we follow the same path in our social system, we are not English men, and we may demand protection against them, without asking it against ourselves. M. De Brouckere then left his seat amid loud ap plause, to reply to M. Rittinghausen. That Hon. Gentleman had said, that produce consisted of two facteurs, the material and the labour—if he had said termes, it would have been more intelligible. And what is the end of free trade but the gratuitous in terchange of one material for another ? Labour alone will be paid for. Labour will be simplified, and everyone will be enabled to enjoy everything at less cost. Labour is a means, the object is enjoyment. The Honourable President then quoted many examples to illustrate his views on the subject; attributed the high price of provisions attending thereon to the prohibitive duty on grain, which ultimately turned to the detriment of the revenue. Gentlemen, free trade brings low prices; consumption will increase, and labour be in greater demand. The labouring classes will gain doubly; they will have more enjoyment for the same labour, and an increase of prosperity from increased labour.—(Loud cheers).) M. Le Chevalier, an Artillery officer, was the next to address the meeting, to the effect that produce was not always paid by produce, and that the result was often severely felt by the nation the less expert, as was the case in France, especially in Alsace. MM. Arrivabene and Horace Say replied respec tively to M. Le Chevalier. M. Duchataux again ascended the tribune to reply to M. Dunoyer. He denied that the example of the Zollverein was applicable to the rest of Europe, as the difference between the German states was not such as to cause a perturbation. He, however, allowed that the present protective system was far from being perfect, and that he should advocate a reform if na tional labour was respected. As regarded Switzer land it was universally known that manual labour was much lower there than in Alsace, M. Walowski said a few words in reply, and was succeeded in the tribune by— Professor David, of Copenhagen-4 said that gen tleman, the struggle will be severe at first, we have hands to work with as well as to put in our pockets, and competition will render us more laborious, and it must not be overlooked that all nations have a pre ference for their own produce if they can obtain it. This closed the discussion for the day. The President then put to the vote :- 1. Whether free trade, far from rendering nations tributaries of each other, did not rather draw them closer to each other. 2. If free trade did not shield industry from the sudden blows inflicted upon it by the restricted sys tem of prohibition. The first motion was adopted with one dissentient voice; the second with three dissentient voices. The meeting then broke up. To-morrow comes the great question of the influ ence of free trade on the labouring classes. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 18.—This day's sitting was con secrated to the all-important question of the influence of free trade upon the working classes—a question which M. Walowski justly remarked yesterday de served a sitting to itself. It is only to be regretted that many lost sight of the question proposed, to enter into a more general discussion of the advantages derivable from commercial freedom. M. Duchataux, the intelligent defender of the principles of the pro tective system having left Brussels, the free-traders had the course to themselves, and at the close of the sitting the four questions under discussion, as stated in my letter of yesterday, were unanimously voted, with one solitary dissentient voice, that of M. Rit tinghausen, who, true to prohibition to the last, held up his hand to oppose the unanimous vote of the Congress. The sitting was a most interesting one, and I re gret that I cannot render that justice to the eloquent discourses of M. Walowski and the other speakers which they deserve. An addition to the Congress was made to-day in the person of Mr. Wilson, M.P., who, being announced by the President, was loudly cheered. The proceedings commenced this day by the read ing a letter from M. Ramon de la Sagra, a coun cillor of state, who had left Spain for the purpose of attending the Congress, but was prevented from doing so by unforeseen circumstances. The letter expressed the sympathy felt in Spain for the principle of com mercial freedom. A proposition from Dr. Asher, of Berlin, was then communicated, to expose within a given time the practical results likely to be obtained from the present congress. The first speaker to-day was Mr. Brown, who addressed the meeting in the English language. The honourable gentleman was not very audible. I scarcely know how to style the next orator, M. Bergh, from the Rhenish Provinces. He commenced by expressing his astonishment that the working classes were not represented at the Congress. France, he said, was represented by a Peer of the realm, the English bourgeoisie (I quote his words) by Dr Bowring, and the working classes had no one. Hav ing spent many years amongst them, he felt for them, and always thought of them with pleasure and affection.—(Applause.) They are an ill-used class of society, and in England are not even treated as human beings. The English manufacturer does not even speak of them as such, but calls them hands. He never says, " I have so many men," but " I have so many hands." They are the pariahs of our age, and I, who have traversed the narrow and loathsome alleys and back courts of the great ma nufacturing towns of England, am aware of their misery. I do not know whether this is to be laid at the door of protection, but one thing I am certain of, that protection is far too weak ever to ameliorate their condition.—(Applause.) I myself am a free-trader, and would not give a penny for a Protectionist — (Laughter) —but I doubt if free trade will suffice to ameliorate the condition of•the workmen. It is true that free competition will reduce prices, that a reduc tion of prices will cause greater consumption, which in its turn will favour production, and employment will be more attainable; but free competition will give birth to new inventions, many hands will be thrown out of work, and the manufacturers will re duce wages to be able to stand the competition, and the working classes will be as badly off as ever. Gen tlemen, I speak principally for the English workmen —they are a neglected class, and it must not be sup posed that they were warm partisans of the League ; they formed a body in themselves, they closed their ranks, and they look up to their representatives in Parliament, in the persons of Mr. buncombe and Feargus O'Connor. It is a melancholy fact that at the very time 40,0001. were voted for the royal house hold expenses, only 13,0001. were granted to relieve the famishing thousands in the manufacturing dis tricts. M. Bergh concluded by pointing out the active part the working classes had taken in the French revolution, when, as soon as the great object was attained, they were discarded. This was the only part of his speech were he did not meet with applause. Dr. Bowring— -Gentlemen, I confidently assert that the gentleman wrho has just sat down was never chosen by the En,i dish working classes as their repre sentative. The. E. nglish workmen have their repre sentatives in Parli ament who advocate their interests, and who enjoy th!cir full confidence. In a few words I shall now come. to the question under discussion, avoiding vag ue genera li t i es. I shall endeavour to , prove to you ',that the practical effects of free trade have ameliorate d the condition of the workmen. We .seek to enable -e iorkmen to obtain high wages and low prices, and these who have travelled with a view to ascertain the of fects of free trade are well aware, like myself, of the remarkable contrast that exists be tween Tuscany and the Hanseatic towns, for instance, where a Tiber al commercial policy is in force, and the less enlight e n e d s t a t es o f t h e Continent. Pro tectionists halve built their structure on a sandy ground —we wish to erect ours upon a rock. Pro tection is the , displacement of labour where the inte rests of a lae•ge majority are sacrificed to a small minority. All amelioration is a displacement of capital. Gentlemen, I was born in a town where the woollen trade flourished, at Exeter, and am thoroughly ac quainted with all the wants and necessities of the manufacturiu g classes, and studied all the relations of this branch of commerce with foreign countries. When steam. was first introduced, Exeter not being a coal country, that trade diminished, but the workmen found ether employment, the prosperity of Exeter in no wise diminished, and the population of the city has since gradually increased from 24,000 to 40,000 souls. It is the ensemble of the prosperity of a nation which must be considered, and not particular interests. All real national industry has nothing to fear. In 1825 the silk manufacturers demanded an increased protective duty on silk ; we, on the contrary, de manded a reduction of that duty, and in 1832 we obtained it. I was called a bad patriot —a French man—(Laughter and applause) —and was told that I was bringing ruin on the country. I replied, you sleep on the soft bed of protection; arouse yourselves, get up and study, and put your hand to the work; but they shook their head and turned a deaf ear to my words. They soon, how ever, came to me for advice, and I told them to study; they did so, and what was the result? At the present day, though we import for 30,000,0001 b. of silk, we export for 20,000,000, and this is a great result. The displacement of capital is the representative of pro gress. The Hon. Gentleman quoted many other ex amples to illustrate the axiom. The same objections were raised when coal was allowed to be exported ; we were told that our soil and climate were not the best, but that God had given us a source of wealth in the bowels of the earth, and why should we not keep it ? The result of the effects of free trade Jan this article has again proved the fallacy of the arguments in favour of protection. Dr. Bowring then announced to the Congress the results of the importation into England, in the first seven months of 1847, compared with the first seven months of 1846, showing the im mense increase since the principles of free trade have been put in practice. Amongst the many necessaries of life quoted by Dr. Bowring, the following will sufficiently illustrate the fact :—ln the first seven months of 1846 the importation of sheep was 26,700 ; in 1847 it had already risen to 51,000. Lard had increased from 13,000 to 50,000 quintals. Butter, from 136,000 to 176,000 quintals. The impor tation of coffee had increased 2,000,0001b5.-- from 20,000,0001b5. to 22,000,0001b5. Hams, from 8,700 to 12,000. In sugar, the in crease is nearly one million of quintals. And what better answer can be given to those who assert—who dare to assert—that liberty of commerce has not suc ceeded ? In 1845 the fabrication of bricks was 12,000,000 ; in 1846, one milliard and seventy-three thousand; in 1847 (ahlus. i ir the period of seven months), it was one milli ar d one hundred and twenty seven thousand, and the fabrication of bricks may be regarded as a scale whereby to judge the increase of population, and with that increase also the increase of prosperity. Before sitting down, concluded Dr. Bowring, I shall add one word more. I cannot share the ideas of those who, being aware that they are ill, put off the application of the remedy to another day. Our motto on the standard of the League was, "Im mediate and total abolition of the corn-laws." We never swerved. We asked it—we obtained it—im mediate and entire; and I hope that the present Con gress will demand the immediate and total abolition of the protective system, that not a vestige of it may remain.—(Prolonged applause.) Mr. M'Adam, of Belfast, entered upon an econo mic view of the linen industry of the continent, of the high duties which we maintained upon linen and linen yarns, and of the effect of these duties upon the amount of employment afforded to the working classes, as well as the loss to the community. He urged the propriety of considering linen yarn as a raw materia I, as it is in the subsequent processes that so much la hour is required, the spinning being so much sim plified by the use of machinery. These duties act on the linen trade of a country in a twofold manner -Ist, they injure that branch of its manufactures whicl, furnishes linens for export, and thus deprives it , commerce of an article of exchange, causing at the same time a diminution of employment to its manu facturing population, and a derangement of the ba lance of trade, to the advantage of the countries whose productions it requires. 2d. They cause every consumer of linen within the country to pay an extrl price, and thus reduces the consumption by rendering it impossible for the poorer classes to obtain as large a quantity as they would otherwise do. He con ceived it to be advisable for each country to inquire into its peculiar capabilities, its economical position, and foreign relations, and to point out reasons for its choice between protective duties and a free trade in yarns. He then proceeded to a review of the condition of the linen trade in France, Belgium, and Germany, entering into the history and statistics of each. France had imposed duties on British yarns in 1842 amounting, in some cases to 40 per cent., and had by this means created a number of flax spinning -mills to the extent of about 360,000 spindles. The employment thus created gave a means of livelihood, directly and indirectly, to about 35,000 individuals ' • but the increase in the price of linens had reduced the exports of France. By the returns from the Board of Customs, it appears that last year 38 per cent. less yarns were imported than in the foregoing year, but 53 per cent. more linens. Hence employment was increased to that branch of the trade which supports the smallest number, while the employment in those operations which support nine•tenths—viz., the weaving and bleaching—had decreased. Reckoning the consumption of France as seven yards of linen per head of the population (Bowring), and calculating the cost as 4d. per yard above the price it could be had for if imported free, it appears that the French pay 98,000,000 f. per annum extra for their linen. Taking the value of the spin ning machinery, building, &c., at 150 f. per spindle, the entire sum vested in the trade in France appears to be 54,000,000 of francs. He could not see why the French nation should be taxed 98,000,0001. per annum to maintain a trade in which not much more than half that amount was vested as entire capital. He urged that such duties had caused other industries for which France is better adapted to suffer, and entered into details as to the w i ne t ra d e , w hi c h em ploys 3,000,000 of the French population. He showed the consumption of wine in France to be 25 gallons per head per annum, while in England it was only one-fifth of a gallon, the duty being 55. 6d. The deputies of the south should reflect that the maintenance, by France, of such duties on Bri▪ tish manufactures had led to reprisals of this nature on the main articles of her export. - With respect to Bel gium, he regretted the state of the linen industry and the destitution which prevailed in consequence among the working classes. He maintained that the duties imposed by Belgium in 1842, on yarns, had princi pally caused this state of things by raising the price o f linens, and injuring the export trade. Belgi▪ um exported in linens, in 1838, to the value of 33,000,000 f.; in 1842, it had fallen to 26,000,000 f.; and in 1846, to 20,000,000 f. This was because British linens dis placed them in the foreign markets, by reason of their cheapness. He condemned the policy of the Ministry in imposing a duty on the export of tow, and showed that such measures were hurtful to the agricultural community, without benefiting the trade. Hand labour is as cheap in Belgium as in the British isles, and if the Belgians had as cheap yarns, they could compete with our linens. The 4,000 operatives in the Belgian spinning factories were protected, whilst the entire linen industry of the country, maintaining 300,000 person s , was t h us caused to languish. Heg then glanced at the state of affairs in Germany, where an obstinacy in the maintenance of hand spinning had caused that country to lose th e vent f or h er linens in North a n d South America, where Irish linens had now completely displaced th em. T he Zollvere i n spoke of increasing the duties on linen yarns and endeavouring to establish machine spinning. He looked upon it that when a country was naturally adapted to this industry it would flourish without protection. That if it did not p oss ess these natural advantages, no pro t ect i ve d ut i es could create them, while their imposition did injury alike to the consu mers. the w o rki ng c l asses e mployed in that branch of industry„ and other kinds of production to which the country was better adapted.

The machine spinnin was only i n t ro d uce d i n l i . el l and in 1829, many yeari g.. after it had been in Great Britain, but it had gone on increasing, and now numbered 312,000 spindles, and this had been in the face of the immense capital,, cheap coals, and great experience of England. Why, he asked, had the linen trade increased? why had the manufacture of cambric increased? why had the growth of flax increased ? why had maeliii se spinning been carried to such an extent ? Simply, because, without pro tection, the natural adapt atio n o f th e c li mate, the soil, and the habits of the people of Ireland were so great for this industry, that it had prospered and would continue to prosper. He complained of the heavy restrictions in Spain, and the evil effects of the contrabandista in the demoralization of her popula lation, He glanced at the other countries of the w u er n e dred om m pe il ltl l hcontinent, and conclud(ul by observing that one e i h n d a n a s t to if their li nensc f acri th eya e nw people of western Europe e eb n re or .p m er o m us itt s e u d m to more for them where they could b He maintained that in whatev er eLasstevtained cheapest and best. the system was viewed, it would be found that e i r t w ha n c y l been productive of the most hurtful effec•ts on the trade of each country and the employment of the peo pl e. Professor A c k ers d yc k , of the University of Leyden, engaged for some ti me t h e undivided attention of the a whole as sem bl y . Af ter drawing contrast between the conditi on o f S pa i n and Hollan d, to the favour of the latter, he said that in Holland , as in England there were young Englanders, there were old Hollanders and young Hollanders, and it was the latter, the advocates of free trade, that he represented, and that Holland kept equal pace with the spirit of the age. These very principles, said the Learned Professor, were advocated by me a quarter of a century ago to the youth of our universities, and the pleasure I feel in looking back to those days is doubled when I now behold realised those very ideas. M. De Brouckere here rose and announced to the Congress that all the members of the present Belgian Ministry were pupils of the Learned Professor who addressed them.--(Prolonged applause.) Professor Ackersdyck, alluding to the speech of his colleague, Professor David, of Copenhagen, demon strated the advant ages t h at H olland and Denmark would derive from free trade, owing to their advanta geous position, and the effects of the same on the amelioration and development that would ensue, both physically and morally, on the labouring classes. The modest, dignified, and chosen language of the pro-- fessor made this one of the most interesting speeches of the day. A Professor of the University of Liege made a sh ortspeech in favour of free trade, and was followed by Mr. Asher, of Berlin, who regretted that there ex isted a feeling in Germany which, founded on false notions, regarded all Germans who advocated free trade as inimical to the interest of their countr fie hoped, how ever , th at that feeling would y. soon give way to a better one. Professor Walowski, the eloquent and talented ad vocate of Libre Echange in France, and who has taken the effect of free trade on the condition of the working classes into special examination, ascended the tribune amidst loud cheers. (I regret that time and space will not allow me to give you a satisfac tory idea of his address; to appreciate his flowing eloquence he must be heard.) lam about to address you, gentlemen, he said, on a most important sub ject--I might say almost the most important one— the influence of free trade on the moral improvement of the workmen; for that is the great aim that we have in view, and free trade i s th e on ly me ans to attain that end. We all, gentlemen, owe a word of thanks to the memb er f rom the Rhenish provinces, who instituted himself the representative in this assembly of the working population. Dr. Bowring has shown us in numbers a return of the in creased importation into England, but a deduction may be withdrawn from it which has not been men tioned—who participated in this increase ? Was it the wealthy lords of England ? No ; it was the working population.—(Applause). And what greater proof can be given of the advantages of the system we advocate ? Centuries, for humanity, are but as days, and I shall quote an incident of the time of Francis L When the Swedish ambassador waited upon that monarch, he asked his Majesty's pardon for having to speak to him of so vile a thing as com merce. What a difference from the present day ! What are all the great questions of the moment but the commercial interests of the community ? In exa mining the influence of free trade on the labouring population—(l reject the word " classes"—classes have become extinct—we are all fellow-citizens)-- (Loud cheers)—the first question that presents itself is to appreciate the true mechanism of production and distribution of riches. Whatever be the form in which produce arises, there is an association of labour to obtain that result. In former ages slaves did the work, and received their rations like the brute beasts of the creation. Liberty then stepped forth, and the share in the production was given to the agent in the shape of salary. I say salary, but it is but a passing, and not a permanent term ; the day, though perhaps distant, will come when the labourer will obtain his share of the produce of his labour.—(Loud cheers.) By the perfection of labour produce is increased, and additional prosperity is the result, and free trade is the great agent for effecting this result. One great error of our adversaries is that they regard labour as a compact masse, which ought to be equally divided between nations, not capable of extension. They act upon a false principle from the very begin ning. The domain of labour, on the contrary, is Mi.. , mited. Like the giant in the fable, it requires double strength when it touches the soil. Protection lulls the population to sleep in a false security, and pre , vents the great mainspring of the human mind from being brought into play. The greatest market thrown open to produce will be found in the consumption by those who were never intended to be deprived for ever of the benefits of the earth. Providence did not in tend its blessings for any privileged portion ; all men are called upon to s h are in her gratuitous gifts, and this will be obtained by a reduction of price. The Learned Professor then entered into a lengthened, but highly interesting demonstration of the effect of pro tection on the natural instruments of labour, on capi tal, and on labour itself. He further stated that a simple examination of the division of labour would prove that the working population was (exploite) made subservient to the ears of a small mi nority. The Governments are not aware of the atti tude assumed by the working population—the effect of low wages and dear bread might be terrible. Human labour was not to be regarded as merchan dize—the value of labour should be rewarded in measure to the intelligence displayed. In America the price of food is low, and the salaries are high. In Ireland, on the contrary, prices were high, and sala ries were low. High price did not procure high wages. The mensongerie chimerie of the Protectionis ts e fell to the ground. By the introduction of free ,_tr a _L l labour would be in greater demand, the wor km an would become more independent, and the in s " whilst ufac turer would be obliged to seek the wor e " smanufax now the workman was obliged to seek great work for turer. 'We all put our hand to °e lse servitude de the abolition of slavery, and NN'as n ot t he follow the la misere also a slavery ? We others what thou divine maxim, "Do not un t t o o thee.. I regret that wouldst not they should do unto (M. Duchataux) the Hon. Secretary for Valenciennes have liked a discussion is not present, as I shoe with him. Free trade, gentlem en, is a blessed fate lity, which cannot be eluded, and we may look for ward to the triumph of the justice of our caus e . (Loud and prolonged applause.) As four o'clock was fast on the list, M. were many other names Brouckere requested those gentlemen who had nothing new to bring forward in the way of discussion, to resign speaking. Mr. Prince Smyth said, that after the brilliant speech of M. Walowski, he should not address the Congress. M. Horace Say and other members did the same. Mr. Wilson, Al•P s then and was again cheered. He regretted that he had been detained from attending the two previous sittings. In a speech of some length, which was at tentively list ene d to (though he addressed the meeting in Engli s h) , the Hon. Member for Westbury proved that the interests of labour were identical with those of capital, that protection might for a moment raise an arti ficial price, but that the reaction that followed was only the more disastrous ; that by competition, on the con trary, the circumstances of the workmen were ame liorated, prices diminished, consumption expanded, and export increased. The co tton, iron , woolle n an d linen trades were respectively passed in review, to illustrate the beneficial influence of free trade, and the increased well-being of the working population. M. Le Duc d'Harcourt had a few words to say in reply to a reproach that had been made by a mem ber, that the working classes were not represented in the Congress. The Hon. Gentleman had overlooked the object of the present meeting, which was exclu sivelyldevoted to that class of the population, who had little time to:spare to leave their work when they were so usefully employed.—(Loud applause.) M. dd Brouckere closed the Congress by some re marks in reply to M. Duchataux's speech of yesterday and the four articles above alluded to being unani mously voted, with the solitary exception of M. Rit tinghausen, this Congress, which will take a memorable place in the annals of history as the first step towards 'Ow . ess in cow• Dow an d keep older I rye „bah that ' n os, not itith 1 , gort bag , (10 1 204 ibis* lister ode, ~9' I et_ r c, - ;$
