c' C AL-4 ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETINGS. LIVERPOOL. (From the Liverpool .11ercury.) A public meeting of the inhabitants, c o nvened by the Mayor, Joshua Walmsley , Es q ., in compliance with a re quisition to that effect, signed by men of all creeds in reli gion, and all parties in politics, was held ycsterday, in the Sessions House, Chapel-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament on the subject of the Corn-laws. The meeting was most numerously attended. It comprised most of the members of the Town-Council, and a great many of the most emi nent merchants in the tswn, of both classes in politics, though the Liberals gr,atly proponderated, numbers of shopkeepers and trrdesmen, and a great body of the opera tive classes, nearly all of whom evinced the interest they took in the question at issue by remaining throughout a very protracted discussion. The capacious building was crowded within thre2 minutes after the doors were opened, and it so remained until the close. The Mtvoa said, that in compliance with the requisition which had just been read, he had deemed it no less a privilege than a duty to summon the present meeting. It would scarcely be necessary for him to remind them that the subject to be discussed was one of the most im portant that could be brought under their considera tion, and one involving, as it did, numerous and mighty interests, which required to be approached with the utmost calmness and deliberation.—( Hear, hear. ) Whatever might be his own individual opinions, and thPy had been too frequently and too fearlessly expressed to be misunderstood, his present duty was that of the strictest impartiality, and he had no doubt if need were, that he should receive from that meeting that support which he was entitled to from the office which he had that day un- dertaken.—( Applause.) In conclusion, he called upon ,ne of the gentlemen who had signed the requisition just read, to explain his views, and to move the first resolution —Mr. Thornely.—(Great and continued cheering.) TdostAs THORNELY, Esq., M. P., said that the Corn mittee bad, he thought, with great propriety, framed the first resolution to the ex p er i ence and opinions of the meet ing as to the operation of the Corn-laws during the past year. ft would be in the recollection of the meeting that a meeting was held in that Court-room exactly a year ago, and that petitions were then presented to Parliament for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and that it was now their duty to address the Legislature in confirmation of the opinions which they then expressed.—( Hear, hear.) The first c ircumstance which occurred to him for observation was the operation of the existing Corn-laws on the Bank of England and the currency of the country. It was well known that the Bulk of Englan d had been nearly exhausted of its gold, and had, conse quently, been obliged to contract its discounts, and to raise the interest of money very greatly. and also that that ad vance in the rat: of inte,rest had extended to every banking institution in the United Kingdom. Indeed the danger was imminent that the Bank of England would stop pay- ment altogether. This danger was by no means over. Looking round the meeting, seeing merchants en gaged in a ♦ery wide extent of business, and of all sides and shades in politics,—seeing, as he rejoiced to see, so many labouring men of the community, many of them probably deprived of that employment which they would obtain if these laws were either repealed or modified, —he mu t say that merchants, manufacturers, the labour- ing population, and all classes of the community were deeply interested in representing to Parliament the necessity of an alteration of this system, It had been said by some of the advocates of the present system, that if they reduced the price of corn they reduced the rate of wages ; but what had been the effect of high prices during the last year ? Had wages advanced ?—( Hear, hear.) Provisions had greatly advanced in price, but in stead of labour advancing in price, labour had actually fallen.—( Hear, hear.) He was in Wolverhampton last week, and he was told that goods were to be bought at lower rates than they had ever been bought for in the me mory of man ; and within the last two weeks, men engaged in the iron works in Staffordshire had had notice given to them of a reduction in wages.—( Hear, bear.) He hoped that no meeting of this sort would ever be held without an expression of feeling in favour of the rights, the in terests, and welfare of the labouring classes. They ought to consider the interests of the rich and the poor, of the capitalist and the labourer, as one and the same.—( Hear.) It was impossible for manufactures and commerce to flourish without labour advancing, and it was quite impos sible for the capitalist to employ his capital advantageously, except for the benefit of the labouring classes. Let them, then, throw overboard all divisions into classes—( Hear, hear)—let them look at the good of the public, and do what they could for the interests of all classes.—(Cheers.) He thought it right to read a quotation from a speech made by Sir Robert Peel in support of Mr. Canning's Bill. It was delivered on the Bth of March, 1837. --.. Let gentlemen consider what effect had been pro duced by the admission of Irish grain into England. Before the year 1807 the article was positively prohi bited, but at that period the prohibition was annulled. Now the price of labour was much lower in Ireland than it was here, and the land was much richer. Yet the effect of removing that prohibition had not been injurious to the British grower. What then was there, practically speaking, to lead gentlemen to suppose that the admis sion of foreign corn under the regulationa laid down in these resolutions would be attended with a bad effect? He believed the tendency of the measure would be to pro duce an equality of prices, so far as good harvests and bad harvests would allow that equality, and he was quite certain that it anybody would more than another be bene -1 fited by level prices, the agricultural interest was that body. In his opinion a greater boon could not be con ferred on them than to keep the price of grain between fifty-five and sixty-five shillings." He felt that they had now arrived at such a crisis in the trade, the commerce, and the manufacturing system of the country, that if they persevered, disaster and ruin would follow, whilst if they altered the Corn-laws, they would give joy and satisfac tion to the land, and prosperity to the people at large.— (Great applause.) Mr. Thornely concluded by reading the first resolution, Mr. Alderman EARLE seconded the resolution, and was re ceived with much cheering—All who were engaged in com merce must know how seriously and injuriously these Corn laws had interfered with their commercial operations; and the evil influence of those laws on the labouring classes would come more home to them than to those who were fortunate enough to be in easy circumstances. Experience would tell the labouring man that he was now obliged to purchase corn at a high price, or resort to the sad alter native of purchasing inferior and unwholesome wheat, thereby injuring his own health and that of his family, and depriving them of the means of support ; for they knew that if sickness attacked th* labouring man, poverty and want soon followed.—( Hear, hear.) The MAYOR having put the resolution, Mr. LLOYD, a gentleman who was Editor of the Stan. dard legit yeor, began by regretting that he had not heard the arguments of the preceding speakers, but he came prepared to show that this Anti-Corn-law agitation was, to use a plain, though not very complimentary phrase, a grand piece of humbug. —( This remark excited a storm of disapprobation. The MAYJR interfered to obtain the gentleman a hearing. Mr. LLOYD said perhaps he might have used a milder term, and he would, therefore, call it a delusion.--( Cries of " No, no.") It was said by the Ant , . Corn-law agita tors that cheap bread would be beneficial to the labouring classes ; but what was cheap bread? It was merely a re lative term, for corn might be as dear at 2a, a bushel, as it was now at 9s. or los. a bushel. There could not be the slightest doubt that the great object of those who set the machinery of the Anti-Corn-law League at:work, was to obtain a reduction of wages. —( Cries of " No, no," and much disapprobation.) Otherwise the alleged ground of complaint was as baseless as the fabric of a vision. He contended that the inevitable result of a repeal of the Corn-laws would be a reduction of wages. He maintained that the Corn-laws had not operated injuriously on the manufacturing classes, and cited varissus parliamentary returns, showing the increase which had taken place in the number of woullen, cotton, flax, and silk factories, and also in the number of men employed, from the year 1835 downwards to 11135,—and also the quantity and value of goods exported from 1524 down to 1839—the value being in the former year stated at twenty millions sterling, in the latter at upwards of forty-three millions. All this he said was under the Corn-laws, and it proved that those laws did not operate injuriously to the export trade of the coun try. It was an incredible fact that fortunes upon for tunes had been realized within the last twenty years, which had been wrung from the distresses of the working classes by a system of tyranny and oppl es sion which scarcely had a parallel in the history of mankind.—( Disapprobation and cries of " Chair.") If there was one thing more than another that would bring a curse upon this country, it was the grinding oppression I of the manufacturers. It was true that there was distress I amongst the manufacturing classes, and it was a:so true that there was a splendid and a gorgeous banquet preparing at Manchester for Monday next for the purpose of still further reducing in the scale of misery and oppression those unfortunate beings from whom the manufacturers de rived their wealth.---( Hisses, and cries of " Chair.") The MAYOR thought it would be much better if the Gentleman would not impute the basest and most impro per motives. Mr. LLOYD proceeded with his remarks in much the same strain. He said that the inevitable result of the in troduction of foreign corn would be to throw hundreds of thousands of acres out of cultivation, and to deprive the manufacturers themselves of their best customers. Manu facturers might now be distressed, because there has been a great deal of over production during the last three or four years.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") If they wanted to render the abc lition of the Corn-laws unnecessary,--if they wanted .employment for the whole of their manufacturing Ppnlittion, letthem raise the rally ing cry of " Ships , Colonies, and Co mmerce. " —( Cries of .. Question," and partial applause.) What raised Liverpool but ships, colonies, and commerce'? He concluded by moving an amendment, to the effect that it was the bounden duty of Government to encourage and promote the extent of the colonial possessions of Great Britain, as the best mode of increasing its trade, commerce, and manufactures, and providing employment for the great mass of operatives and mechanics. Mr. Joffe FORMBY seconded the amendment. He should like any gentleman to explain to him what proportion the price of a bushel of wheat, or any other produce, bore to the rent. The end of the abolition of the Corn-laws would be to ruin their best customers.—(Loud laughter. ) Nine-tenths of what was said on the subject was all trash. Colonel WILLIAMS said that he was what the last speaker called a practical man; he was a p ract i ca l f armer , and he stood before them in the character of a landowner a l so . This gentleman, in the plenitude of his sympathy for the farmers , said they woul d all be ruined if the Corn laws were abolished. Now he (Colonel Williams) did not fear being ruined ; but he wanted t o say a word or two to the mover of the amendment. The gentleman said that, by the abolition of the Corn-laws a vast number of acres • would be thrown out of cultivation. He would leave gen tlemen connected with commerce to answer other fal lacies, but with respect to the acres thrown out of cultiva tion by the abolition of the Corn-laws, he looked upon that to be the grossest fallacy that ever dwelt in the brain o f an y pseudo political economist. He should like to know, looking to his own fields, whether, when he ceased to grow corn in one of his fields, it would not grow some thing else. —( Hear.) It was the greatest fallacy to say that the country ought to be enforced to grow wheat, ex c •pti.ig so far as it was wanted, and could be supplied on advantageous terms to all parties; for if thry did not grow wheat. they could grow cattle, and he did not s. c if the gentlernon was so fond of a loaf, why he should not like to have a round of beef along Y:•ith it.—( Much cheer ing.) Such stuff as this was unworthy of notice, a. dhe would not say a word more upon the subject. Mr. JOHN MURRAY, a working man, and, we believe, a Chartist, called upon his fellow-workmen and the meeting to make truth the basis of their argument, and to employ the reason with which the Creator had gifte td the an had m, to separate the true from the false. The gelem called the Anti-Corn-iaw movement a delusion, but unfor tunately for the working classes, who had to buy bread at the present ruinous prices, the Corti-la - = - s to them were no delusion. The gentleman had said that cheap bead would involve a reduction of wages, an d he said truly that wages were relative. He ( Mr. Mur ra y ) g ranted that position, but did it follow that there would be a reduction in the price of bread alone ? Would not milk, butter, cheese, and other matters follow ? a nd if wa g es were relative to labour, he would ask the gentleman whether rent also was not relative? and he asked further if the wres of labour had been advanced in an equal proportion to the Itre of the landlor d —( Loud . cheers and applause.) , t not, what bec ame of the just man who appeared tnere as the advocate of the landlords. The gentleman loved the principles of those who gave them the Co,n laws ; they might be Solomons in their day, but, like So lomon, they had gone to the grave of their fathers ; and they (the meeting) wanted to send some of their works after them.—( Laughter and cheering.) He told them that rent was diffused as soon as it was got. " Ha, ha," exclaimed the speaker, " any of you inhabitants of an agricultural district—can you tell me where it is diffused ? Is it amongst you, or is it in places which I will not offend " ears polite" by mentioning—at Paris, Rome, Naples, or Brussels ? It vanishes from the hands of the farmer into the hands of the agent, from the agent into the fashionable circles, and long, indeed, are the peregrinati. ns of an un fortunate sovereign before it reaches the hands of the farmer again.--(Mveh laughter and cheering.) Not so the merchant—not so the manufacturer—not so the com mercial man. They may have their faults and their fol lies—and they are neither few nor far between—but, at all events, the money is spent in or about the place where it is raised."—( Hear, hear.) It had been said by the gentleman that the Peerage could be pur chased ; that was no great compliment to them from their advocate ; but if the Peerage were willing to be sold.-4S they had often been sold—or not, what should they think of men who represented themselves, anii on the strength of that representation enacted the present system of Corn laws, in order to rob their fellow-countrymen.—( Hear, hear.) His (Mr. M.'s) choice was a cheap loaf. He recollected with pleasure the comfort and hilarity enjoyed by the working classes within the last twenty-six years, when bread was cheap. The chambers of the landed pro prietors were not then lit up by the red flame of the incen diary ; that was the work of the Corn-laws. The gentle man told them that the number of hands employed in the factories had greatly increased; but where did they come from? Were not many of these driven from their own small cottages to make room for the monopolists—men from Kent and Surrey, and Sussex—driven from the midst of the Corn-law prosperity to come and beg employment from the manufacturers ? They were also told of an increase in the exports. Now, he chanced to remember something of the exports of 1824, and did not the gentle man know that they then exported cotton goods finished —(hear, hear) —when the greatest amount of labour had been laid out upon a pound of raw cotton—and could the gentleman tell him how they exported now ?—( Hear. ) Would the gentleman tell him that the forty-three mil lions now left more in the hands of the labourer than the twenty-three millions then? The gentleman might boast, he might dance and fiddle, as Nero did when Rome was burning—but formerly they exported goods in a finished state, whilst now they exported principally in the shape of twist and yarn. There was a greater import of raw cot ton now, and also a greater export, but the gentleman for got to tell them that it was only half manufactured.— ( Cries of " Hear, hear.") The question was whether the Corn-laws were beneficial or otherwise, and these were the fruits ; if the fruits were beneficial then the Corn laws were beneficial to commerce and manufactures. But before all and above all, were the labourers in the agricultural districts in a better position in consequence of the Corn-laws? Did they re ceive more wages relatively to the amount paid for corn ? He asserted that they did not. Did the gen tleman know that the average amount of wages within three miles of the Liverpool Exchange was Bs. a week ? This he maintained was the effect of the Corn-laws, and the gentleman had wholly failed to show that the Corn laws were beneficial to any class whatever. The gentleman asked triumphantly, alluding to the distress of the working classes, whether the manufacturers had done anything for them ; he (Mr. Murray) asserted that they had, for they had found employment for many of them. Had the land owners, who brought them to that distress, done anything for them? Yes ; they had been the almighty creators of a rural police—the supporters and makers of a New Poor-law, to separate the aged from the partners of their youth—they bad opened the floodgates of despair on a once industrious and prosperous people ; they had swept away the contentment of the poor man—they had taken away his stake in society—they had lowered his head—they had made him dependent, and then they taunted him with the name of pauper. These were their works, be they for good —be they for evil. Another gentleman had stated the pro portion of rent enjoyed 1)3 the landlord, and contended that it was only a fair proportion. Give him 7-24ths of the produce, and let the produce be cheaper ; but the landlords first raised the raw material to an enormous amount, and then took 7-24ths of the whole. He was very much de lighted with the gentleman who moved the first resolution, and expressed his sympathy with the working classes. It were well if the divisions of classes had never been intro duced—it were well if all considered themselves members of one great body; things would not then have been as they were now, and no wonder that the working classes were now looking to themselves for help.—( Hear, hear.) They might be tnisled, but their claim for an equality of freedom ought not to be discouraged. If they refused to give the working classes power to put down the Corn laws and all other nuisances, they might be too late, but as he considered the Corn-laws one of the means which had laid the nation prostrate, he wished them to be re moved, and heartily supported the resolution.— (Great and long-continued cheering.) A Gentleman in the gallery, whose name we did not learn, stated that, in 1813 or 1814, he was employed by the British Government to purchase wheat and cattle for the troops in Spain. He went over to Afri-a, arid pur chased cattle at ss. a head, and wheat at 2s 2d, per bushel, and the poor in that country were in a better situa tion than they were here. In 1830 he wa- in France, and he found that there, too, the poor and the labouring classes were better looked after than in this country, and enjoyed much better food and clothing. Wheat was then from 3s. 3d. to 2s. 4d. per bushel., and the agricultural la bourers were getting about 4s. 6,1. per week, whilst in Gloucestershire they were getting only from ss. to 7s. per week, and giving for wheat at the rate of 85. per bushel. His father had lived in a small farm and accumelated money before the Corn-laws were in operation, but the Corn-laws came and swept him away. His farm was joined to two or three more; one family was placed where four had brought up large fau.ilics, and the person who came to take the whole land could not support. even a small fa mily out of the produce.—( Hear, hear.) The MAYOR then put the question on the amendment, and declared that there were from ten to twelve hands held up in favour of it. The original motion was then put andcarried almost unanimously amidst tremendous cheering. Mr. Councillor RATIIDONE, in moving the next resolu tion, strongly . urged the importance of something being done immediately towards returning to sound rineiples g o w f h‘ e ov m l em p s. l o o mß y e m ßo e fv, n o,o t N , d. a aE n t d scial. t l he means of Take away the Corn-laws, and they would have p tho - mear; procuring c . 'ea ' and secondedtirne( the Cheers. lutio - n 'He con tended that an alteration of the Corn-laws would ' be bene ficial to the landowners themselves. Prior to th , enac t- ment of . those laws, the population of the countr . • had rapidly . increased, and it was population which gave ) land its value. He was in America last winter, and he visited most of the manufacturing States. In Massachusetts, , ma nufactures had increased to the amount of e ;(ib t y - m•al hons of dollars, a great proportion of which 'av ' have - l s t i l xml- been fabricated in England but for the Corn-laws ou pre venting us from receiving that which the Americans had to pay in exchange for our manufactures.—( Hear, hear.) The American manufacturers now :undersold them in South America and other markets; and this they would never have done but for. the Corn-laws. The result of free trade was manifested in the shipping interest.— ( Cries of " Hear, hear.") In 1815, when the restric tion system was in operation, the amount of American foreign tonnage as distinguished from coasting vessels was 804.294 tons; the result of reciprocity was, that it had fallen by 31,753 tons, whilst the British tonnage in their ports was 416,000 tons, a convincing proof that the Legis lature ought to leave merchants and manufacturers to fight their own battles.—( Cheers.) He had it from undoubted, authority, that, if we would only receive their corn in pay ment many df the Americ an manufacturing establishments would be given up. Mr. HARDY denied that the distress of the commercial and manufacturing districts was m drily to be attributed to the Corn-laws. He maintained that neither the Corn laws nor the Bank screw had caused that distress, though the Manchester Anti-Corn.law Association had said one day that the Corn-laws were the cause of it, and the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, consisting of the same in dividuals, had said the next that it was the Bank screw. He denied that it was either one or the other, and con tended that the agricultural interest was the best customer of the m anufacturers. He was in favour of a moderate fixed duty. The resolution was put, and only four hands were held up against it. JA NIES AIKIN. Esq., in moving the next resolution, showed that the meeting of delegates from all parts of the country had agree d, before they demanded the re,teal of the Corn laws . t o g ive u p all sorts of protecting duties on manufactures, and that all they asked was a clear field and no favour. HENRY BOOTH, Esq., seconded the resolution in a forcible speech. The resolution was carried with only one dissentient voice. Mr. BOLTON, in moving the next resolution, exposed the fallacy that wags were dependent on the price of corn. He pointed out the probabiit tht the Ameicana would increase their tariff duties if y the a Corn-laws r were not abolished. Mr. VINCENT HIGGINS seconded the motion. Mr. Alderman SHELL pointed out the :;b4urdity of the assertion that a repeal of the Corn-Lwi mtw occasion a reduction of waes by a reference to Ireland, where thou sands and thous a nds of able-bodied men were working fur the pittance of 6d. a day. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Councillor BLACKBURN delivered a long and elo quent speech in introducing the next resolution, and was loudly cheered. JAMES MoLuNsux, Esq., seconded the resolution. Tt-IFI SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1840, Mr. HARDY moved an amendment in favour of a fixed protecting duty. and was seconded by Mr. BoLuNIA N. Mr. Hardy was tt:e only individual who held up his hand in its favour. The original motion was then carried by ac- clamation. Mr. Alderman Sum. moved the establishment of an Anti-Cora.law A.sociation in this town, and the motion was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. JUIIS liossoN, Esq , moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor, which was carried with deafening acclamations. The MAYOR briefly returned thanks, and the meeting se parated at twenty five minutes to five o'clock. FROM LAST NiGHT'S GAZETTE.i WAR OFFICE, Jaw. 10, 1840. 11th Regiment of Light Dragoons—Lieut. J.

We regret to learn that the tenters anti dressers . in the various weovni g !Uctori,s in and around Gin Tow have - struck work, and that the weavers be dis charged in the cour se o f the present weA, unless the differences between t h e -,vorkmen and their masters be arranged. The cause of the strike is said to be an attempt by the masters to reduce the wages of the tenters, the present stat , of trade, as the former allege, rendering such reduction necessary. Three large mills in Bridgeton dicewoinued work on Monlty morning.—. Glasgow Chronicle. STOCKPORT. Oa Monday evening, the 6th inst„ a most numerous) meeting was held in the Court-house, Stockport, for the purpose of petitioning the Queen and both Houses of Par liament for a total rep-al of the obnoxious Corn-laws. The Mayor was unanimously called to the chair. H is worship briefly explained the purport of the meeting, and called upon Henry Nlsrsland, Esq , M. P. for the borough, to speak on the subject. Mr. Marsland entered into a det.il of the evils arising from the Corn-laws, which operated not only on the manufacturer, but likewise on the industrious artzth ; and hoped that not another year w ,uld elapse and those laws be permitted to remain on the statute-book.—(Cheers.) Mr. Marsland concluded by moving the first resolution, which ran as follows :—" That a full excl,ange of the products of our industry, for the corn and other faod of foreign countries, is our natural and inherent right ; a right . clearly recognised by the Creator himself, in awarding to various climes the diffe rent productions of the earth, for the common benefit of all his creatures." J. Fernley, Esq., seconded the reso lution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. William Nelstrop movtd toe second resolution, " That the Corn. law violates the sacred principle of religion and mor tality, by interposing a barrier between the bounties of Divine Providence and the wants of the industrious millions of thi ; country; thus depriving them of the means of independent subsistance, and subjecting them to disease, demoralisation, and premature death." Mr. W. Griffin moved, and Mr. J. Fenton seconded, the following amendment :—" That to call upon the work ing classes to assist in advocating a repeal of the Corn laws, under present circumstances, is nothing less than mockery, after signing so many petitions, because we have no power, and petitioning the present House of Commons for such a repeal is tantamount to trying to heat the oven with snow-balls." The amendment and resolution were put from the chair, when the original motion was carried with tremendous ch?.ers. Several other resolutions (on one of which a Chartist .amendment was ineffectually moved) were then carried by large majorities; and peti tions to both Houses of Parliament, for the entire and im mediate repeal of the law were agreed to.—Manchester Guardian. EDINBURGH. The Chartists still continue their career of violence Another meeting of the inhabitants has been put down, and the public peace outraged by their intolerable tyranny. A public meeting was advertised to take place last night in the Waterloo Rooms, " to consider the nature and effects of the existing Corn-laws of Great Britain," the admission to be by tickets, sixpence each, admitting two persons. The Lord Provost, it was announced, would take the chair. The Chartists having, as usual, come to the resolution that no one should be permitted to lift his voice in public, unless in behalf of Universal Suffrage, mustered in considerable strength shortly before the hour of meeting. When we entered the room we found a knot of them, of whom John Fraser was the centre, in eager altercation with Bailie Richardson, apparently with reference to the possession of the pr;ncipal seats. Bailie Richardson, however, seemed to prevail. The Inn was well filled, but not so crowded as we have seen it on some occasions. Shortly after seven o'clock the Lord Provost entered the room, accompanied by Treasurer Stodart, Bailies Richardson and Thomson, Councillors Anderson. Ritchie, Gray, Falkner, Macaulay, and Ponton ; George Thompson, Adam Black, John Wig ham, J. 0. Burton, Thomas Russell, Peter Crooks, An drew Miller, James Denham, John Johnson, George Mac allum, &c. Their entrance was greeted by a mixed volley of cheers and hisses. As the gentlemen were taking their seats, there was a loud cry of " Elect a Chairman," which was followed by cheers and hisses. The LORD PROVOST then rose and said, he hoped they would give every gentleman a fair hearing.—( Renewed confusion, in the midst of which) Air. FRASER rose, and begged to announce, at the out set, that if the Lord Provost took the chair without being elected by the meeting, he should protest against such a proceeding.—(Hootings and applause.) Mr. WIGMAM then craved a hearing. He was very anxious, he said, that the meeting could be conducted in a quiet and orderly manner.—( Hear.) He begged to re mind them that the meeting had been called by the Anti- Corn-law Committee; under their auspices the whole thing had gone forward ; they had procured the consent of the Lord Provost to take the chair, and it had been fixed that he should do so.—(Great uproar.) Mr. Wigham begged they would hear him out. He considered that this arrange ment of the Committee ought not to be altered.—( Hisses.) They had all purchased their tickets with the knowledge of this arrangement.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) He bad only to say further, that if they would allow the business quietly to go on under this arrangement—( Cries of " No, no," " Yes, yes")—he pledged his word that they should have every fair play, and be allowed to bring forward any amendment they chose.—(No, no, and uproar.) He ap pealed to their good sense to allow the business to proceed. —(Continued confusion.) Mr. FRASIta said it was because he wished the pro ceedings to go on in a regular and orderly manner that he now moved the election of a chairman ; and he would assign his reasons for so doing.—( Cries of " Sit down, Sir," " Off, off.") I will not give over till I are beard. In the first place this is a public meeting—(Yells)—and it is a violalion of the right of a public meeting to take the chair without being elected.—( Continued noise.) I am willing to pay all respect and deference to the Lord Provost of the City—(" You have no respect for anything" —but I protest against his Lordship taking the chair till he has been elected by a majority of the meeting. I beg. therefore, to move that Mr. John Gregor (a journeyman painter) be requested to take the chait.—(Great uproar.) Mr. DOUGLAS, journeyman piano-forte maker, seconded the motion. It was a matter of life and death ; and they were determined to have fair play. The Ci,artists. eager to show flick strength, instantly held up their hands; but it was evident they did not con stitute the majority of the meeting. Mr. ADAM BLACK mentioned that, after the advertise- ment put forth by the Committee, in which it was an• nounced that the Lord Provost would take the chair—after every person present had bought his ticket under that ar rangement, it would be unfair to substitute another person in his place. It they did so, any man might justly coin plain that he had been deceived, inasmuch as he had attended under that belief. After having so far acceded to the terms of the Committee, no person had a right to come forward and make objections now. Besides, he be lieved that not a third of the Meeting objected to the Lord Provost taking the Chair.—( Cheers and yells.) A large body 'hen held up their hands in favour of the Lord Provost. Some said their number fully equalled those of the Chartists ; others that they constituted a,small minority. Our own opinion is, that the last sho w of hands was rather less numerous than the former; but we noticed this a considerable portion of the meeting voted neither way, in cot.scquence of not knowing amidst the uproar what was toe object of the vote. Had the object been pro perly understood, we have reason to believe there would have been a large majority in favour of the Lord Provost. Mr. Gregor then made a furious rush to the platform, followed by Douglas, Fraser, and a number of others, and attempted to dislodge the Lord Provost by physical force. Mr. George Thompson, Mr. Adam Black, and several others, successively attempted to speak, but in vain. For a quarter of an hour the meeting pre sented a scene of indescribable confusion. The gentlemen on the platform attempted to reason with the Chartists, but were answered only by the most. furious menaces. There were loud cries from the body of the meeting for the police (who were present in considerable force) to interfere to protect the committee ; but, we pre sume, it was deemed inexpedient to ask their assistance. In the midst of the uproar, Mr. Adam Black moved the adjournment of the meeting, which was at once agreed to, followed by the Committee and a a g n re d a t t h p e ar L t o o r f d th P e , omveutst, meeting, left the room. The Chartists then took p ossession of the platform, and placed Mr. Gregor in the chair. Mr. Douglas and others subsequently ad dressed the meeting in the most violent langiusee in favour of Universal Suffrage. Of course they carried their usual series of resolutions. —6"colsmon. LEITH. Yceterday afternoon a public meeting took place in the Sale-room, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a total repeal of the existing Corn-laws. The meeting was very numerously attended ; and the speeches deli, ered, were of a kind highly calculated to rouse public feeling for the repeal or modification of those obnoxious laws Provost Reoch was called to the chair. Mr. G. Bercy moved the first resolution, and stated that since the last time he had had the honour of addressing a meeting of asimilar nature, the question had been fully discussed both in and out of Parliament, and the amount of this discussion had satis fied the country at large that these laws were oppres sive and tyrannical, and their total repeal had been rung throughout the length and breadth of the land. Even upon fiscal principles they could not be defended ; for if there were any truth in the maxim that " A hungry man was an angry man," how much more force was there in the fact, that a hungry nation was crying loudly for their repeal Let us tax wine, or other luxuries belonging to the rich ; but in mercy, in wisdom, lay not a tax upon the men who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. To the rich man it mattered little whether the bread loaf were 6d. or 81., but to the poor it involved not only his immediate comforts, but even the education— the morality—the happiness of his children, What had cauQed of late years so much emigration?

HALL'S IRISH NugsE.—The intended heroine of Mrs. S. C. Hall's new novel, as some of our readers have already discovered, is Marian—a female foundling .; hut great es is the interest felt' for her for. : tunes, it will, if 'we mistake not, be fully shared with another character, whose whimsicalities, nationalities, and faithful attachment are portrayed with a most happy mingling of pathos and humour. We allude to the old Irish nurse—a portrait which will furnish a rich treat— the more so beoluse Mrs. Hull has been enabled to :Irawl-.!er character at full length, whereas in her po pular lrisii'sketchis she has been always confined to a limited space. Here she has fuly worked out her design, and has accordingly ‘'..resented to 03 a picture of the strongest interest.
