ANTI-CORN-LAW DELEGATES. figures, and also the official tables, the last of which he used for his own purposes, for he picked out the articles of sugar and of timber, but omitted those of flax, wool, cot ton, oils, and other raw materials of our manufactures.— ( Hear.)—He contended, therefore, that that was a per fectly- unfair mode of dealing with that document. He had quoted the exports themselves for a purpose and an end which he must have known these exports would not fairly answer.—( Hear, hear.) Then Sir Robert Peel turned to the Customs' duty, and stated that inasmuch se the custom duties had not declined during the last year, there could not have been a diminution in the prosperity of our manufactures, and the prosperity of the country generally. Sir Robert alleged there had been an increase of the Custom duties of 1839 over 1838, of about 320,0001. The Customs' duties, he said, for 1838, were 23,081,0001., and of 1839, 23,405,0001., and then Sir Robert Peel said here is proof that the country is in a prosperous state. But it did not suit Sir Robert Peel to turn back and sec how much of that w:s made up by the duties on foreign corn. If it had not been for those duties, the customs in all the other articles of consumption in this country would have been found not to show an increase of 320,0001., but a diminution of 780,000/.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Why the duties on corn alone in the year 1839 were shown to be 1,116,6521. and odd ;iand that was as compared with the year 1838, in which the amount of the duties on corn were 188,3151. It was not, therefore, as compared with the year in which they only had the produce of their ordi. nary customs, but it was compared with a year of which 188,315/. teas made up by the duties on corn, which was not an article of ordinary custom. He knew that under an ordinary state of things, if they had consumed as much of the other commodities during the years 1838 and 1839 as they had done previously, the revenue would have been swelled to the amount of nearly 200,0001. in 1838, and it would increase to the amount of 1,160,0001. in 1839 ; but fools. The Morning Herald declared that the fixed-duty men were the most pestiferous in all England—(Laughter) —and now Sir R. Peel declared that he could not under stand what a fixed duty meant, so the advocates of that injustice met with little sympathy. Next year there would be no discord among them on the principle—they would go for justice, and nothing else. The motion was agreed to unanimously. Mr. Dflow, Mayor of Carlisle, was brought up to Lon don in consequence of the great distress he found existing around his neighbourhood, and he had no doubt many other Gentlemen had been actuated by the same motives ; and nothing mortified him so much as to find that that dis tress had met with so little attention from the Govern ment and the House of Commons generally—it might be owing to the manner in which the debate had concluded that so little notice bad been taken of such distress, but still it was in existence, and much on the increase. He felt the subject not only as one of interest, but of deep religious feeling.—( Hear, hear.) What mattered it that large capitals were accumulating in parti cular hands, while the great majority of the people were plunged into deep distress and suffering. Where such distress prevailed, there must be something awfully wron g —.if a large n um b er o f t h e peop l e were w ithout th e neeessariesiof life. The landed aristocracy were the most interested in the repeal of the Corn-laws, for they were indebted to the manufacturing classes for their prosperity. He trusted the Delegates would not relax in their exer tions, but would rather increase them, and bring forward petitions in greater numbers, and produce more facts bearing upon the question. The worthy Mayor read several letters from different manufacturing districts, show ing the deep distress suffered by the working classes. He then, with much pleasure, proposed the following re solution:— " That the Delegates are not discouraged by the result _ROYAL BANK OF AUSTRALIA. Capital, 1,000,000, in 20,000 Shares of 501. each.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) The Tory Journals are criminally unmindful of Mr. Canterbury Bradshaw's merits. The Honourable Gen tleman has performed another feat worthy of his former fame, which they unaccountably pass over in silence. He rose to eminence by indulging in scurrilous invec tives against the Queen ; and . now appears before the public as the stifler of Parliamentary inquiry into the source of the sufferings of the people. Who would have supposed that so much ignorance, by the aid of mere matchless assurance, should be able to achieve for himself so high an eminence in his own, and so enviable a dis tinction among all, parties? Mr. Bradshaw, and minds of his order, may regard this proceeding as a clever ruse, a fine practical joke upon the del?gates from the manufacturing districts, wno are in town to watch the progress and abide the issue of the debate, and to arrange the evidence for the proposed inquiry sought by Mr. Villiers's motion. But do the advocates of monopoly imagine that by shirking inquiry they can stifle the complaints of, and allay the agitation which rapidly accumulating distress extorts from, the depressed manufacturers, and the half-starved masses who depend upon them for employment and wages suf ficient to provide food? The cause of Corn-law abo lition will lose nothing by delay. It is based on the principles of justice, and is supported by arguments which policy, humanity, and religion prescribe and enforce.

But it did not suit Sir Robert Peel to treat the subject in of the late debate; that they derive new aeterriaination, as they find new motives for exertion in all that has occurred ; that they feel their various arguments are unanswered— their cause strengthened—their confidence in ultimate triumph unabated, and they pledge themselves to one another, and to the nation, not to relax until the mighty grievance, under which the community is suffering, be re- A TLAS ASSURANCE OFFICE, CHEAPSIDE, MARCH 20, 1840.

Enfield, Esq., of this town, received through the me dium of the Post-office, thirteen Mexican oak trees from Wales, the postage upon which was prepaid, and amounted to ten et, ce,-- Nott Review . (From the Standard.) The inventive genius of our Conservative Contem porary has just produced the following cock and hull story :—" We are informed, upon an authority which we consider entitled to great weight, that a serious, and apparently irreconcileable difference has taken place in the Cabinet upon the Neapolitan question. We have been favoured with the following particulars on the subject, on the accuracy of which we are dis posed almost implicitly to rely. At the last Cabinet Council a treaty was submitted for ratification, by which the King of Naples undertook to remove the restrictions upon the export of sulphur, and further to make a most favourable arrangement for the admission of va rious articles of British colonial produce, more par ticularly the cured fish from Newfoundland, on such terms as would be highly advantageous to the trading interests of the country. The ratification was supported by Lord Clarendon, Lord J. Russell, and Mr. Labouchere, and opposed by Lord Palmerston, seconded by the Premier, Lord Lansdowne, and one of two others, the question being, of course, decided in the negative. It is understood that this sacrifice of the com mercial interest to the caprice of a set of incapable men is the result of a personal quarrel upon a point of etiquette between the King of Naples and the British Minister at that Court. The Minister is the brother of the Foreign Secretary, and that wise personage has described a trifling altercation as a national insult, and orders have been issued for the British squadron at Malta to proceed to the Bay of Naples, and there to assume a hostile attitude ; whether a blockade is to be at once declared we are not distinctly informed. The difference in the Cabinet is said to be of the most serious description, and will probably lead to the resignation of the President cf the Board of Trade, the best head of a Department among them." (From the Courier.) _ _ _ _ _ The duration of Mr. Sheriff Evans's confinement, one would suppose from the language employed last night by the Colonial Secretary, is to be determined by the decision of the Lords on the Printed Papers Bill. Lord John Russell, after expressing a hope, in which he is cordially joined by the whole people of England, that the discussion nn the privilege (piestion would not be re sumed, moved the attendance of Mr. Evans at the bar of the House on the 6th of May. The second reading of the Bill is fixed for Monday next, and the present mo tion, having for its object the further incarceration of a man whose only offence is obedience to the laws of his country, looks exceedingly like an attempted intimida tion of a House which has on repeated occasions shown itself superior to selfish considerations. We take the fact as it stands, and do not assert that such is absolutely the motive which has induced the prime agitator of the very discreditable course hitherto pursued by the majo rity, to intimate what can be construed in scarcely any other sense, than that, if the Lords do not agree to this Bill, the Sheriffs' imprisonment shall be perpetual, so far as depends upon the will of the party, headed and misled by Lord John Russell. BENEVOLENCE OF HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT.—Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to provide for the widow and children of Lieutenant Saunders, late of her Majesty's steam-yacht Firebrand, who died very suddenly soon after he had the honour to bring ever his Royal Highness Prince Albert to this country. In early life Mr. Saunders, who was then a pilot, had the good fortune to prevent her Majesty from being injured, perhaps killed, by warding off from her the spar or gaff-boom of a sailing-yacht, near which she was sitting with her illustrious mother enjoying an aquatic excursion. For this aet he was promoted to the quarter-deck, and ultimately to the valuable and lucrative command of a Government steam yacht. On hearing of poor Saunders's death, her Majesty is said to have been much affected, and lost no time in com municating her gracious intention to his disconsolate widow. The other incident is as follows :—.When his Serene High ness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha left this country, on his return home, in the Firebrand, Mr. Hicks, the Master of the:Royal yacht William and Mary, having been temporarily placed in command, his Serene Highness made several kind inquiries after Lieutenant Shambler, the officer who had on a former occasion brought him over, and learning that he had accepted the command of a West India packet, and fallen a victim to the climate, his Serene Highness, in the kindest manner, warmly expressed his sympathy for the or phans and widow, who were left totally destitute, and imme diately wrote a letter, which he requested Mr. Hicks to take charge of, and personally deliver to Lieutenant F. Seymour, owe of the Equerries of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, which humane mission that gallant officer faithfully performed, and the result is, that Mrs. Shambler has received a Royal intima tion that the long services of her husband will be rewarded by a pension to the widow. On Saturday the Delegates re-assembled at Brown's hotel. There was a most numerous attendance of Dele gates, and several Members of Parliament were present. JOHN BROOKES, E sq ., took the Chair at Three o ' clock. Mr. COBDEN, in moving the first resolution, could not help giving expression to the disgust which he felt at the conduct of a large portion of the Hou=e of Commons , and in doing this he felt he was not giving expression to his own opinion alone, but to that which he was certain was that of the majority of those who had witnessed the attempt in that House to suppress a discussion on a subject of the most paramount importance, in a manner, he must say, most derogatory to the dignity of the assembly. He be lieved that those were right who had told them that it was useless to go to the House of Commons, as they had little to expect from that assembly. The great majority of that assembly had been totally inattentive to the subject. On the first night, at one period, there were not above forty persons present to listen to the clear and lucid statement of Mr. Villiers; on the second night that number, was not ex. ceeded until about ten o'clock, when shoals of Members, in a certain state, poured into the House to attempt to crush the debate by their interruptions. He thought it right to state that he believed the Whi g s were as much in fault as the T or i es f or t hi s . They bad little reason to be satisfied with either Whigs or Tories, and their business lay not with the present House of Commons, but with their constituents. He would therefore exhort them not to look to the House of Commons at all, but to the creators of that House—(Cheers) —and until some alte ration was produced in that House they could never hope for justice. He would conclude by proposing the follow ing resolution : " That the effort, of the Deputies to obtain a vote of the House of Commons on the question of the Corn-laws having been most unexpectedly thwarted by the success of our opponents, in prematurely putting an end to the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion, without any di vision on the merits of the question, it is expedient to re quest Mr. Villiers to bring the subject again before the House as early after the Easter recess as possible." Mr. TAYLOR, in secondinr , the motion of Mr. Cobden, could not help giving a decided expression to the strong feel ing of disgust he experier.sed when he considered the at tempts that had been made to suppress the discussion in the House of Commons.—( Cheers.) The only course had been adopted which could have been adopted under the circumstances. Their opponents were desirous of effect ing a division and stopping the debate. After Sir Robert Peel had given utterance to his usual sophistries and fal lacies, in order that they might produce an effect upon the public mind, by the course adopted by Mr. Warburton this had been frustrated. He had no doubt they would have wished to put an end to the question ; no doubt they wished to put an end to the effects produced by the exhi bition of the League of the poverty and the destitu tion of the country; and they would have been happy to have dulled the public car to this subject for the next 12 months. He had one subject of congratulation, and that was that the landed interest of the country, though ever so cold and selfish, had limits to their power, and their limits were in the privileges of the people. In Ireland the middle and the labouring classes had no control over the landlords; but in England the case was dif ferent, and were it not so he firmly believed that they should witness such scenes as the oppression of tenantry exhibited in Ireland. The interests of the aristocracy of this country were fortunately mixed up with thosa of the industrious classes, and he believed no other circumstance could secure them against the iniquities which they would otherwise see perpetrated.—( Hear, hear.) He felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution. The resolution was then put, and agreed to. FALLACIES OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH. Mr. BAINES, jun., came forward to propose the second resolution. He wished to take the opportunity of making a few observations on the speech delivered last night by Sir Robert Peel, in the House of Commons.—( Hear, hear.) That speech was replete with fallacies, which he did not wish to let pass unnoticed. Sir Robert Peel, in the course of that speech, divided the grounds on which it was sought to justify a repeal of the Corn-laws, into three heads. The first was, that the Corn-laws were the cause of the derangements in the currency ; the second was the effect of these laws in producing great fluctuations in the prices of corn ; and the third was, the distress prevailing among the manufacturing classes, which was proved by the present state of the country. With regard to two of these grounds, he felt anxious to offer a few remarks on the speech of Sir Robert Peel. He was persuaded that the Corn-laws were the main cause of the derangements in the currency. It was important to Sir Robert Peel to prove that the Corn-laws were not the cause of these derangements, and his way of accomplishing that object was a very remarkable one. The Pre sident of the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, Mr. Smith, bad taken a part upon the subject of the Bank as to the currency, and had published a Report upon the question. Sir Robert Peel had that Report in his hand. Now the Right lion. Baronet's object was to convict Mr. Smith of having ascribed the great derange ment of the currency, not to the the Corn laws, but to a totally distinct ,:sure .he conduct of the Bank of England—thinking that, could he succeed in so doing, he should of course exonerate the Corn-laws from having been the cause of the disaster which bad occurred. The course he had taken was peculiar: he said " he wanted to show the gentlemen who professed an opinion that the evil was exclusively to be assigned to the operation of the Corn-laws, that the chief agitators against these laws assigned a perfectly different and distinct cause"—and then the Right Hon. Baronet proceeded to quote, not what Mr. Smith had said, but the summary by Mr. Jones Lloyd of what Mr. Smith had stated—and the reason why Sir Robert had done this would soon appear.—(lleac.) Mr. Jones Lloyd, giving his account of what Mr. Smith stated, said—" The depression in trade which has occurred since 1835, especially the events of 1838 and 1839, are to be attributed entirely to the mismanagement of the circula tion." Let it be remembered that this was not what Mr. Smith had said, but what Mr. Jones Lloyd stated Mr. Smith to have said, and Sir Robert did not read the passage from the Report of Mr. Smith, which he had in his hand at the time, but he ( Mr. Baines) would read it ; it was as follows : —Mr. Smith said, in the Report of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce—" In August, 1838, the prevalence of wet weather I ed to a general belief that the harvest would be deficient, and that a large importation of corn would be the result." '1 he paper announced that foreign exchanges had fallen, in consequence of the great number of bills remitted to the c ontinent, in payment for grain. The Funds declined from the same cause. In September the average price of wheat reached 735. a quarter, and the duty falling to one shilling, it was per ceived that a large amount of gold would be required to pay for the corn. But under a natural state of trade no drain for specie would occur in payment for grain, any more than it did for tea or silk. The Corn-laws place a prohi bition on foreign corn, until the corn of the home grower had reached a certain high price, becoming an entire exception to the ordinary rates of commerce, and causing, for such sudden and extraordinary purchases of grain, necessary demands for bullion in payment." This was the account which Mr. Smith gave, but which Sir Robert had carefully abstained from reading.----( Hear, hear.) The Delegates would now see why he had substi tuted the statement of Mr. Lloyd.—(Hear, hear.) Thus Two or three days ago, a young man, elegantly dressed, called at No. 9, in the Place Dauphine, and desired to look at an apartment which was vacant. He was accom panied by the portress, and seemed to cast a very longing eye on some jewellery in the boudoir, and on the plate-basket in the kitchen ; but he was so closely watched by his attendant, that he had no opportunity of taking anything. As he was leaving the house he said he liked the apartment, and, as he should take it if his wife approved of it, he should certainly, when he had settled, give a handsome presmt to the portress as an earnest of future liberality. The old lady, quite affected at the prospect of his generosity, invited him into her lodge, and began, like most of her class, to gossip about the owner of the house and the lodgers; when she had done, the young man took his leave, and was accompanied to the door by the port rest. On her return, she found that she had not taken such good care of her own property as that of the proprietor, for her spectacles and a silver spoon had disappeared with her amiable and generous visiter. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Tuesday last the master of a collier and two lads, his appren tices, each aged 17 years, were returning from Gravesend in the ship's boat, with the sail hoisted, and on reachirg Grays Point a slt lden squall of wind caught the main sheet, which was made fast, and instantly capsized the boat, immersing all the parties in the stream. The lads struggled for a short time in the water, and then sunk to rise no more. The captain saved himself by clinging to an oar until some persons came up in a boat, into which he was taken, and conveyed to his ship at Greenhithe. The bodies of the two lads, who were both at tired in blue jackets and canvas trousers, have not been found. A fatal accident occurred near this town on Saturday. Hannah Peacock came to Shrewsbury market on a pony, which shied as the Greyhound coach passed near Atcham, and threw the young woman under the hind wheel, which passed over her head, and killed her on the spot.—Shrewsbury Chronicle -- --- SHAMEFUL HOAX.—Some irreverent person sent through the Post-office on the Ist of this instant, April, a wig, addressed to the Bishop of Exeter, and purporting to be " sent by his Holiness the Pope of Rome, with his compliments to the Pope of Exeter."— Western Times. SUICIDE OF A MILITARY OFFlCER.—Thurs day morning an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, M. p_ at the Woodman, D'Oyley-street, Chelsea, on the body of Capt. Ellers Parnell Hopkins, late of the 4th Foot. It appeared from the evidence of Major Bennett, of the 64th Regiment of Foot, who was on a visit to deceased at his residence in Cadogan_ place, that he appeared in good health until Sunday last. On the evening of that day, he and his lady were sitting round the par lour fire ; witness heard the latter suddenly scream, and, turning round, he saw her holding deceased, who was seized with an hysterical fit, at the conclusion of which, with uplifted arms, he exclaimed, " My mother, my mother, see, she is burning I save her, save her ! " Deceased's mother was burned to de a th above five years ago in her bed-room, without deceased, in con sequence of being blind, being able to afford her any assistance. On Sunday night deceased retired to rest, resolving to make his will next day. He was so unwell that he was obliged to keep his bed on that day (Monday last), and during the ab sence of his lady from his bedroom he cut his throat with a pen knife and razor. Though the fatal circumstance was imme diately discovered, and two surgeons called in, the loss of blood from the wound in the throat was so rapid and extensive that no effort of art could save I.fe. Verdict, " Temporary mental de rangement." FONTHILL ABBEY.--The splendidly beautiful table that stood in the ante-room at Fonthill Abbey was pur ' d a few days azo by a Sheriff's officer at Salicburv. Mr. Smith distinctly assigned the Corn-laws as the main and primary cause of the derangement of the currency, and stated the misconduct of the Bank of England as a secondary cause. For they would observe, there was a conjuncture of things produced by the present state of the Corn-laws, and to that conjunction the Bank of Eng land was said to have in some measure contributed. —( Hear, bear.) Now, it was for their judgment whether the Bank of England in that conjunction of cir cumstances acted wisely, but what was prior to that was the question,what produced the conjuncture itself, and that was in the most distinct manner in this Report alleged to be the Corn-laws. Therefore the representation of Sir R. Peel that Mr. Smith was an authority that the Corn laws were not the main cause of the derangement was unfair, for he had shown from Mr: Smith himself the Corn-law was the primary and main cause of that derange ment. The second argument against the Corn-laws was, that it produced great fluctuation in the prices of grain. He was not going to observe on what Sir R. Peel bad said on this head further than to remark that he was much too wise to quote that return of the fluctuation of grain in England, Dantaie, Hamburgh, and other places, which had been relied on by Lord Ashburton and Lord Darling_ ton, but which Mr. Laboucbere and others had clearly shown did not really constitute an apology for the Corn laws, but to prove that the fluctuation in foreign ports was itself owing to the operation of the English Corn -laws. He came now to what seemed to him the principal act of unfairness, and the main fallacy of Sir Robert Peel. He alleged that the principal objection made on that the part of those who objected to t he Corn-laws was, they have produced great distress among the manufacturing and com mercial interests. Now Sir R Peel took up that document which he (Mr. B.) felt assured he would seize held u p on, and quoted that return to show an increase in the e ot in 1839 as compared with 1838, and thereby drawing the conclusion of manufacturing prosperity. But, then, sa id Sir R. Peel, " I know how this argumenertityis, but the the It is said, this is not an a r g ument of prosp re verse, and said he should be equally justified in arguing a diminution of trade from an increase of home consumption." And, then, Sir Robert did him (Mr. E. Baines) the honour to quote the speech he had made, and to observe upon it, that he had not proved his point. On the con trary, Sir Robert Peel maintained that " it was ex ceedingly difficult to ascertain what the amount o f home consumption at any period was." He con tended that a more complete evasion of the whole of the argument, in reply to the mere exhibition of the official returns of the exports, than was exhibited by Sir R. Peel, could not be practised. Sir Robert Peel said it was a difficult matter to ascertain the amount of the home consumption —now, at the moment he spoke, the Right llon. Baronet had the materials in his hands for ascer taining it at once, for that document clearly showed the quantities of the raw material entered for home consump tion, and he would have found in a m oment that they were much larger in 1838 than in 1839—his ( Mr. B.' s ) argil _ ment was, not that there had not been a larger export, but that export had been a proof not of prosperity, b ut t h e reverse ; for that in 1839 there was actually a much smaller quantity of the raw materials entered for home consumption, and therefore the exports being greater , and the quantity of manufactures produced smaller ; ou the home t ra d e , th a t is the consumption of our own p p lation, had d ou bly f a ll en off.—( Hear.) Sir R. Peel ha d proof of this in his hands at the moment, but it answered his immediate purpose to be blind to it. In two ways he had the prooc in hi , . hands, for he had his (Mr. B.'s) this manner, for if he had done so , instead of show ing anin crease he would have shown a considerable decline. He believed there were other parts of Sir Robert Peel's state merit which were equally fallacious, but he happened to be familiar with the subject treated of in those parts to which he had alluded, and lie knew that great and gross fallacies were contained in Sir Robert Peel's speech on those points. He knew how unfairly he had acted, first with regard to his statement of Mr. Smith's opinion on the cause of the drain of bullion; 2d, in quoting what he (Mr. Baines) had admitted with regard to the exports, but not quoting at the same time the manner in which he showed that those exports proved not a prosperous, but a declining trade; and, lastly, not in quoting the increase in the Custom duties, he had omitted to notice that most important item the Corn Duties, which, if he had noticed he would have shown, not an improvement, as he had alleged, but a serious decline. He thanked the meeting for the attention with which they had heard him— ( Loud cheers)—and concluded by proposing the following resolution :-- That the following Deputies be appointed an Execu tive Committee, to meet in London after the recess, and to take such measures as may seem to them advisable, for the persevering prosecution of the object in Parliament and the country : Alexander Johnston Glasgow.

Mr. BREWSTER thought the resolution a very proper one, but in talking of the distress prevailing be begged to say they knew little of it when they confined themselves to England. Here the poor had the poor laws—in Scotland they had no such provision, and the poor there must perish if the present state of things lasted longer. Mr. Brewster then read the following resolution of a meet ing held at Edinburgh, at which Sir George Warrender, Lord Cunningham, Sir T. D. Lauder, and other influen tial gentlemen were present; the Lord Provost ,being in the Chair :—" That this meeting has reason to believe that the poor in some parts of Scotland, and especially in the large towns and the Highlands, are subject to a greater degree of want and misery than is to be found in England, or in most civilized countries." He believed this want and destitution were mainly owing in Scotland to the operation of the Corn-laws ; he believed that these laws were the grand cause of all the misery experienced in Scotland.— ( Cheers.) They would have no poverty in that country from want of employment, but for the operation of the Corn-laws ; the only poor they would have to relieve would be the infirm and aged persons ; and the labourer, if he had constant employment, would be able to maintain all his own near relations. The country would, by the abolition of those laws, be relieved from the burdens which rested on it in England : In Scotland they paid Is. 4d. a head for the poor, but in England they paid ss. per head per week. He would lake that opportunity of es pressing his conviction as to the course that ought to be adopted by the Anti-Corn-law League, in order to produce an effect upon the House of Lords. Until they had the people at their back they would never produce any effect upon the House of Lords. He did not think that without that they would produce any great effect on the House of Commons ; but admitting they had a majority in the House of Commons in their favour, how would they gain the consent of the House of Lords, unless they had the voice of the country in their favour 7 ( Cheers.) They might go forward, but they had no years to lose. Every year their commerce and their ma nufactures were going to decay, and the only mode, he was convinced, of ever operating upon the Lords, was by appealing to their fears..--( Hear, hear, from Mr. Gibson) Nothing would ever be obtained by appealing to their reason.— ( Loud cheers.) Mr. MORRIS was here proceeding to address some re marks on the subject of Sir R. Peel's speech, when— Mr. J. SMITH said that he dii not think it would he wise to occupy the time of the meeting any longer with discussions not immediately connected with the resolution before them. Mr. RAwsoN supported the resolution. The resolution was then agreed to. The Rev. Mr. N. JONES then read the next resolution— " That dissociating ourselves from all political parties, we hereby declare that we will use every exertion to obtain the return of those Members to Parliament alone who will support a repeal of the Corn-laws." The Reverend Gentleman pp oceeded to say that on a ques tion of the present nature he was very much inclined to adopt the sentiments of Bishop Warburton, who said, that " with regard to legislative enactments, or the introduc tion of new laws, much good could not be expected from -.. .: ..- g,-7( EVENING EDITION • ' -I*l7 l , . • 44 ka.,, k .. ti , . that he was one of the fixed-duty men. He would j ' . \-. ~ ••• , .- . observe that although some of their trades were leavin _fi. ' I , them, it was matter of congratulation that others howeve curiously were growing up, for cargoes of bones came Irdgman not only from the Continent but actually from South America. Formerly when one beard Peru spoken of, one I . was apt to form ideas of metals, but strange to say that now it sent us bones for manure, and we actually : imported sago from Singapore for the purpose of feeding our cattle. By pursuing the present system we might • I come to be like Malta, and have cabbages and corn growing on the house tops ; but what a system ; it was that obliged us to go to Peru for manure, and to Singapore for food for cattle, in order to put such a Jew's share of advantage in the pocket of the landlords. Their opponents talked of fluctuations . in foreign markets, his experience led him to know that is no country bad they ever been so great as in the bonded warehouses of London and Liverpool. He remembered wheat at 4s. a bushel at one time, and within a twelve month the same wheat was selling at Its. There never were such fluctuations in the world. Besides the fluctua • taking enuthe r . _.... their ( H e a r c , o corn hear.) H d e a tions in foreign countriesour a refusingi i s h e it that o ' other countries had nut done as Naples. Belgium, &c. if wtheemwewrheennouterewgeurleariecsuesatormcietyr.s shouldh w a e ddone , and not said half-starve that Ywwearsaenodnly oc casione dal by He had much pleasure in moving— That the most cordial thnnks of the deputies be pre sented to the Hon. Chas. P. Villiers, for his extremely able and valuable speech, in bringing forward the motion in the House of Commons; and also to Sir G. Strickland, Bart., the seconder, and the other Hon. Gentlemen wh o su p. ported the motion." Mr. Mortals, in seconding the resolution, said it had been very well observed by Mr. Grey, that if the argument of the necessity of the Corn-laws, on account of their being absolutely necessary for the national security, was worth anything, the tax of twenty millions levied by them on the people of the country ought, instead of going into the pockets of the landlords, to be devoted to national. pur.. poses.—( Cheers ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously amidst loud and continued cheering. Mr. HEYWORTH said that be had a report to make to the meeting, which would hereafter be printed and circulated, and which be hoped, would produce its due effect on the minds of those who were co-operating with them in this great, this good, this glorious, and this holy cause. —( Loud cheers.) Mr. Hey worth then proceeded to read i the Report of the Finance Committee, from which 1 it appeared that the pledges of subscriptions for defraying the expenses of the National Anti-Corn.Law League for the next three years, amounted to 7,000/. ; and the Corn mittee felt justified in saying, from the intimations they bad received from various associations and individuals, that this sum was to be considered only as first-fruits. This might appear a large sum, but the struggle they were engaged le was a great one—the field of exertion open before them was most extensive, and 50,000/. would be too little for carrying on the future operations of the League with the spirit with which it ought to be carried on. The extensive benefits to be derived from the repeal of the Corn-law would affect not the people of England only, but all the children of Adam. This was a subject even more important than the abolition of the Slave trade. The parties interested in it were more numerous— ( Cheers)—and he wished to call attention to the fact that all were alike interested in obtaining the abolition of • these wretched Corn-laws. The question considered in every way was one in which they ought to think deeply, and it would be necessary to come forward with funds in' order thus to accomplish their objects. It should be their endeavour to enlighten the public mind on the iniquity of the existing laws, and for that purpose Viey should send forth 1 lecturers to every town and corner of the country,and as Lord Morpeth had stated in every cottage. The entire popula tion of the land should become acquainted with the nature of the question, and when they had fully instructed the people their cause would be gained. The cause was one which should stimulate and arouse every principle which could enoble our nature. They should remember on tke occa sion an observation of the Duke of Wellington on another subject, that on such a question they could notinave a little war.—( Hear, hear.) He would recommend to their lecturers to take as a text for their future labours the speech of Sir Robert Peel, who bad attempted to show that our domestic trade had not decreased. No assertion, however, could be more erroneous.—( Hear.) These were practical points, which came home to every man. The next point was, that Sir Robert Pcel declared the value of the estates of land in this country was deFen dent on the manufacturing interest—not on the Corn-tats. —( Hear, hear, hear.) This should be as widely diffused as possible among the operative classes.—( Hear, hear.) Then again, Sir Robert seemed to admit that free trade was a most magnificent principle, but he said that there would be a difficulty in carrying it out. But it enig,:it be clearly diffused among the operatives that wherever this principle had been tested, it had produced the best; results. The fourth point was one to which Sir Robert had not adverted—the justice of the cause of repeal.— ( Hear.) He knew that the cause of the Corn-laws was one of injustice, of oppression, and theft on the lower orders.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. R. NrceoLsoe, as a member of the Finance Com mittee, wished to observe, that it was stated at the conclusion of the Report that that was only the first fruits of their 1 attempts. That was certainly the case, for many subscriptions had since been received. They must not i relax, however, for although 7,0001, had been subscribed l that sum would be required for the service of next year. The CHAIRMAN said the meetings of the Delegates would be adjourned that evening, and impressed on them the necessity of renewing their exertions. i FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, APRIL 2.—The average price of Wheat last week was— Wheat, 22f. 45c. ; Rye, 13f. 990., so that wheat is still free from import duty. Rye subject to an import duty of 21f. 50c., for 1,000 kilogrammes; and the exportation of both, as well as potatoes and flour, pro hibited. CHAMBER OP REPRESENTATIVES.—SITTING or APRIL 2.—At one o'clock the Sections met together, in order to deliberate on the following motion, which was laid on the bureau of the Chamber : Art. 1. The King may, during the present year. give retiring pensions to officers in non-activity for indetermi nate cause, since the ratification of the treaty of 19th April 1839, without the officers uniting all the conditions re quired by article •2d of the law of 24th May 1838.—(Bul letin Official, No. 21.) . Art 2. The officers pensioned in consequence of the penal law cannot wear a uniform without a special permission from the Minister of War. This motion was signed by Messrs. de Bher, de Smet, Zoade, de Sear, B.lDubus. de Florissomme, Eloy, de Bur dinne, Suets, and M. de Yrus. . . . The Sitting opened at two o'clock, the names being called over, and only seven Members appeared to be absent. M. Delanghe called on the Ministry to give an expla nation of the situation of the Cabinet. The anx;ety of the public is great on this subject—general uneasiness is felt—the Ministry ought, therefore, to give a detailed ex pianalicat. After some interruption the Minister of the interior, M. Lebeau, and M. de Muclenaere, gave some explanation. The two latter gave some particulars of what has been stated of their having received a commission to recompose a Cabinet. This explanation proves that nothing serious has taken place in this respect, and that their interview with his Majesty was not for the purpose of appointing new Ministers. _ After having heard the report on the project of law, the Chamber fixed Monday next for the debate upon it. AUGSBURG, Maacil 30.—We have received to-day an Egyptian Mail with letters from Beyrout of the 20th of . February, Cairo of the Ist, and Alexandria of the *6 of March. All speak of the active progress of the military preparations, of the repeated declarations of the Old Vice roy that he will not give way, and his continued reliance upon France. Mehemet Ali was gone for some days to Cairo.—Allyeineine Zeitung, March 30. TIIE HAGUE, APRIL I.—The Sections of the Second Chamber met the day before yesterday to examine the new projects of law for modifying the fundamental laws which were lately refused to them ; on this occasion, also, they again most seriously expressed their desire of a more satisfactory alteration, and their wish that the Govern ment would give its attention to many other points already discussed in the sections. Above all things, all he sections persisted in the general desire that the in vidualiiy of the King, and the responsibility of Ministers in the sense intended by the Chambers should be inserted in the constitution and regulated as the basis of it. nELG lAN k UNDS—BausseLe, Aram 3.
