From the earliest period of the cotton manufatture UP tb 1820, it was protected by various duties from 50 to 75 per cent., and in 1820. when Mr. Huskisson proposed a diminution of those protective duties, and stated that the cotton manufac ture of England had become so great that it could compote with the world—even then he felt it necessary to protect it by a 30 per cent. duty. (Hear, hear.) How has Birmingham grown up? Under free trade? No. Up to 1820 the iron manufac ture of England was protected by a prohibitory duty, and from that period to the last tariff hy a 30 per cent. duty. In the same way, up to 1820. the woollen manufacture was protected by prohibitory duties; and from that period to the last tariff by a duty of 30 p.u* cent. Therefore, if I look back, I find that even the manufacturing greatness of England is due to a system of protection. (Cheers.) I take my stand upon this, and say that the system cannot he bad under which these great and mighty interests have groan up, especially when, as far as the experi ment has gone in the system of free trade, we find almost all interests suffering from its operation. (Cheers.) Pardon me if I speak of that country which, for better or worse, you have taken into partnership with yours-1 mean Ireland—in whose adversities you must share, and from whose prosperity, if you can make her prosperous. you will derive the greatest advan tage. (Hear, hear.) I will not trouble you with statistics, but I will bring before you in plain, palpable figures—in figures which von cannot mistake—the condition into which Ireland has fallen by the operation of free trade. You could not, per haps, take a better test of the state of a country than the amount of its crime. Now, I find that in the year 1845 there were ti Ireland in round numbers 7000 convictions for all kinds of crime ; in 1846 there were 8,€39 ; in 1817 there were 15,233 ; in 1848 there were 18,206; and, I believe, that if we had the returns for 1849, which have not yet been presented to parlia-, meld, we should find from them that the convictions in Ireland during that year amounted more nearly to 30,000 than to 20,000. Then again, let us take the higher class of offences—and,observe, that this was not a period of agrarian outrage—l find that . in 1845 the number of persons transported from Ireland amounted to 428; and in 1848 they swelled to the enormous amount of 2,675. (Hear, hear.) I know that when facts of this kind are brought forward with respect to Ireland the answer that is made is. " Oh. hut you forget the famine, which was the cause of all." But the famine was more severely felt in Ire land in 1847 than now. 1 have another return which may perhaps throw some light upon this subject. In the ear 1 . 845 there were in Ireland 1,000,000 acres under wheat cultivation ; in 1847 there were 740,000 acres ; while in 1848 there were only 565.000 acres. (Hear, hear.) Now, I confess I think that this is a fact of some importance, because it is sometimes said by those who deny the ruinous effects of the repeal of the corn laws--,"‘but the land in England has not gone out of cultiva tion in consequence of that repeal." Now, why has that not been the case? I believe the reason is, that the English farmer, with his capital, can afford to cultivate his land at a loss; and I believe he is now cultivating it at a loss—(hear, hear, and cries of " yes"); while in Ireland, where the farmer had nut 'the same amount of capital to offer as a first sacrifice to free trade, the effect has been what it will he here as soon as the capita! of your farmers is exhausted. It may be well, perhaps, that you should have in the effects thus directly and at once produced on your weaker sister a warning of the effects that will follow in a little time among yourselves—(hear, hear)—for to nothing else but the operation of free trade can the ingenuity of any man refer this fact, incontestibly proved by the returns before parliament, that within three years after the adoption of that policy the cultivation of wheat in Ireland had declined by more than one-half. I shall refer to one other very re markable fact, which has also the advantAge of resting on evi dence about which there can be no mistake. In the month of January, 1847, after the famine had begun to have its effect in Ireland, let it be observed, the circulation of bank-notes in that country had amounted to .61,500,000; and the bank-note circulation affords a very fair test of the prosperity and corn aptivitv of a country. lint at the close of the last year notes in Ire] half—had fallen down to £3,800,000. (Hear.) These are the effects of free trade in my . country—l say deliberately the effects of free trade; because , when I find this remarkable fact of a diminution in our cultivation of wheat coupled with increase of crime, showing the want and misery of the population, and coupled also with this remarkable diminution in the money circulation of the country—one of these facts, at all events, can be referred to nothing but free trade, and I think I am justified in referring the other facts to the same cause. And what was the excuse for the adop tion of the policy of free trade ? Whit was the excuse for the opening of the ports ? Why, it was to relieve the famine in Ireland. Well, but surely I am entitled to use this argu ment—that the measures which your free-traders have brought forward with the 'avowed purpose of relieving the famine in Ireland have signally failed ; because I cannot conceive sneAsures that could plunge Ireland into deeper misy and destitution 'than this :policy has done (hear, hear.) lam, I confess, an advocate for protection to all branches of native industry from' deep and deliberate conviction ; I am an advo cate for protection, because I believe it is by a mutual system of protection that the great British community can best supply the wants , of all its people (hear.) 1 am not an advocate for protection merely as an engine for obtaining a reciprocity of free trade from other countries, although I can perfectly con ceive the folly and injustice of meeting hostile tariffs by free importations. 1 am 'an advocate for protection, not for the purpose 'merely of counterbalancing any peculiar burdens to which any particular class or interest are subjected, although I can well understand that the landed interest have burdens which entitle them to that relief. I am an advocate for pro tection, because I believe the arguments of the free traders are as false iwprinciple and as unsound in theory as the results of those pririciplesbave proved ruinous in practice. I think we can see one remarkable fallacy that nervades them all. It is this :—the free-traders assume in every argument I have seen that the productive power of the country is a constant quantity, and therefore, they argue that the same production will go on, while the owners are left to dispose of it as best they may. Now, I deny that the productive power of the country is prac tically a constantunantity. I say that every man who has the power of purchasing has the power of producing—that as surely as It •demand creates a supply, every man who has the power of purchasing has the means, not merely of rewarding, but of calling into action industry that but for that power would have been idle and unproductive. But ifthat be true the whole argument of the free-traders is baseless; for I am not to be told that it rests with the man who is about to pur chase whether he shall call into action the industry of his own people or that of foreigners ; that the state is not bound by its duty to its-own subjects to interpose so long as any of its -own subjects are unemployed, and to say to the man who has the power of calling industry into action, " Choose your own coun trymen in-preference toloreigners." But I am told that this is but taxing every class in turn ; and the free-traders ask," How can we, byplacingtheburden on every class, benefit them all ?" •My lord, I mightjust as well be asked by a person ignorant of mechanics, how it is that the pressure from above bears down every portion of the materials of the arch; and yet it is 'that very pressure that combines and harmonises all into a self sustaining fabric—because a fabric of which all the component parts at once rest •npon and sustain each other. (Loud and Continued cheering.) Anti, therefore, I say lam an advocate for protection, satisfied as I feel that by uniting our own sub je:ts—the subjects of this great empire—in a league of mutual protection and assistance, we derive from - their industry, and from the resources at their command, the largest amount of comfort it is possible for a community on-this earth to enjoy. Two principles-are put before me—the principle of mutual as sistance and the principle of competition. By the hard condi tions of human existence, we have, we can have, but a limited fund to distribute among our people. (Hear, hear.) The -question is how best can we distribute it? Can we not better distribute it, even if we cannot increase it, by a system of re gulated labour that will give to all their just proportion, than by a system of competition, in which it is to be made a• matter of scramble—(Cheeps) —a system •in which, in the struggle for existence, much of it must inevitably be lost. (Continued cheering.) I ask yen, do the labouring classes now receive that share of that advancing prosperity of the country of-which we hear so much, or that share, at all events, of its increase in arts and knowledge to which they are entitled? (Hear, hear.) Why, have we not read accounts the other day in London,' that men have come 'forward and said that fora bare-subsistence they have been compelled to toil in an unwholesome atmo sphere for eighteen hours out of the twenty-four? I ask you, have those men derived their fair share of advantage from our increased mechanical skill? And must there-not be something wrong in that state of society in which airy human being. is compelled, for his support and the support of his family, to toil eighteen hours out of the twenty-four? I might go through other branches of industry in the same way, and I might ask to .whet is their present condition to be attributed if not to that principle now put forward as the great principle that is to re gulate our commercial intercourse—the-principle of competi ti;.- n, under which every man, in order to liv.e s enust undersell or overwork his neighbour?—(hear, hear)—usider which, in stead of the good old English principle of " live and let live," —(clreere)—we have the new principle, not merely insinuated, but openly avowed, of" every man for himself." But in a Christian. country it may perhaps shake the implicit belief that some persons are disposed to yield to this principle, to know that it rests the foundations of national happiness on motives directly opposed to everything that religion inculcates. It rests it on selfiebness—on competition, a competition that must always inioive snore or less of .a desire to injure others. lam for protection, not for any particular class or interest. I be lieve the welfare of this country requires that every branch of native industry should he protected. But at the same time I am for protection to agriculture—and why ? Because agricul ture is the largest and the moatsiorportant branch Al British industry—because it gives employment and support to more persons than all the other interests of the country put together (hear, hear). New I believe I may gssume- that with present prices, or prices that they are likely to be under present cir cumstances, the:cultivation of the British soil cannot.be sus tained as it is at :present (cries of "certainly not.") Then, I ask you, what are you to do with your agricultural population ? .s 1 ask the tradesmen or the towns—l ask the manufacturers of Manchester—what-will you do with the agricultural populotion? (hear, bear.) The iulvocates of free trade tell us, indeed, what the farmers are to dp. I have seen in ope•-of their Organs, the following recommendation to our agsiculturists :—" Transfer your•capital to Algeria, where you will:find farms epough for the ..employment of four industry" Transfer your capital, indeectl -Why, thank Heaven the capital of the British agri culturist is irrevocably. invested in the soil of his native land (cheees). The capital 'of the British agriculturist consists its the labour that he and his forefathers spent in the improve ment of his land. It is its the soil itself, and-cannot be taken away, eats man takes-his ,cheque to a hank, and carries. away gold to another country. -it is associated with-the destinies of the country,and when the vriter who offers-this recommenda tion can take away the fields of our childhood.and the associa tions of home,..and plant them in some foreign soil, then, and not till then, he may tell our agriculturists to .transfer their capital; but if be should succeed he would leave England a desert (loud. cheers). But what is to becomeof the agricultural labourer? lie is now paid hi. a. out of thelard.earnings of the farmer, who, rather then discharge his men and drive to beggary those, whohave toiled with him for years, trenches.on his own capital for the purpose &Affording them the means of subsistence (bear,.bear). But this cannot last. The .capital of time farmer cannot-stand this much longer; and what is then to become of the agricultural labourers? If they do not perii from off the face of the-earth—if theserlo not become characters dangerous to eociety s they must in-a short time be absorbed•in the manufacturing districts; and must not the wages in 'those districts then eveue down ; must not the manufacturing labourer find that he has :been deluded by the cry of a "cheap loaf;" and must he not-intim-end-find out the wisdom of the old adage that "half a loafis betterthanno bread," and that he might be better off with ; a dear loaf and Vents , of money In his pocket to pay for it than .with a cheap loaf and nothing to purchase it (loud cheers). Let no man, therefore, delude us - by saying that this is exclusively.; landlord's question or a farmer's question. It is no doubt their question; but it is pre-eminently and above all a labourer's question. (Hear.) The principle of competition mar, indeed, _Oestrus , the nobles of time land ; it may sweep away for ever the stout yeomanry of England—their country's pride ; but when the-principle of corn petition is enforced against the labourers—l care not if they be tillers of the fields or workers in iron--k will sink them into a state of degradation as low as that of the lowest serfs on the face of the earth, with whose labour they will have to compete. (Hear, hear.) Boy your labour in the cheapest market, we are told; it matters not at what sacrifice of human life—it matters not with what infliction of cruelty to children and young women; produce your manufactures cheap, and time end of h uman existence is pined. Let the souls and bodies of men be sacrificed to this principle. Such is the free-trade doctrine, expressed without one particle of exaggeration ; and whether that doctrine comes In the disguise of assailing the nobility, time e s*entry , and the shipping interest — or whether it more plainly tells you that it is an unjustifiable interference with the rights of capital to restrict time laws of labour in factories for young women and children, it is time same doctrine that reeks not and cares not for all that is great and good—that cares not for the souls and bodies uf men, but regards them as mere machines for producing, at the cheapest rate, marketable commodities. (Cheers.) And let us, 1 say it respectfully—for I know bow little right I have to offer advice to such a meeting as this—let us meet this principle, wherever it is put forward, in this way i let us not argue it ass class question, but let us ask our opponents st once, "Are you far regulating laoeur, or are you not?" This will bring out these men in their true colours; and when Mr. Cobden threatens us with a rebellion of manufacturers—(hear, hear)—let us just get him to gate his principles fairly before any meeting of manufa.cturing opera tives in England and ask them whether they are for unlimited competition and unregulated labour? (Hear, hear.) That is the whole question of free trade. To be sure it is put in a very imposing way, when it is said, " Will you tag bread, the staff .of 4fef?" That )s n very haPestoj . cky.. Dot j joelieve (hgt in this verY session of parliament the sincerity of the free-trade party in raising that cry was fairly brought to the test. An hon, friend of mine brought forward is the House of Commons a resolution by which he showed that there was at this moment a tax on bread ; not, indeed, on the bread of Poland, not on the bread that we import from the United States; but he showed that no farmer in these kingdoms can raise one quarter of wheat without the payment of a heavy tax. Where were then the declaimers against the iniquity of a tax on bread? Surely they were the first to rush forward and proclaim their abhor rence of such a tax! Why, every man of them voted on the division for the principle that there ought to be a tax on bread, provided only that bread was raised at home. (Hear,tear-) I cannot at this moment undertake to state exactly what may be the amount of that tax in this country; but I know that in many districts in Ireland every quarter of wheat that is . grown is subject to taxes—l do not include tithes—but simply to taxes for public purposes, amounting to 10s. a Quar ter; and I am certain that in many parts of this country—in Cheshire. for instance—the amount is much higher. Mr. Cobden says there is a great principle at stake, and that manu facturers must eat their bread untaxed ; and some one greater than Cobden tells us that the bread of the people is all the sweeter, because they know it is untaxed. For this principle parties have been broken up; for this principle the character of public men has been shipwrecked—(hear, hear);—for this prin ciple parties and the public have been deceived. But if this principle he good for anything—if the manufacturers of Man chester must eat their bread untaxed, then, I say, let them eat the bread of Cheshire untaxed as well as the bread of Lithuania— (hear, hear, and cheers). If the principle of our opponents be the only right one when applied to foreigners, and yet, if the abhorrence of bread taxation disappear when their own countrymen are subject to the tax, then, although I do not wish to use harsh language, I could not help saying to a Free trader, if he were here, " When you exclaimed against a bread tax, you were a cheat, or else now, when you advocate a bread tax, you are a tyrant."—(Loud cheers.) I w.,tild ask him if the bread eaten by the working man in Birmingham be sweetened by the consciousness that it is untaxed, how it is that that same operative is allowed to eat the taxed bread of this country without feeling any bitterness in it? The result of the division on Mr. Disraeli's motion for the untaxed pro duction at home stamps the whole free-trade agitation with hypocrisy.—(Cheers.) I believe that the wish of the free-trade party to get rid of the tax on bread, as they term it, does not proceed from any dislike to the principle of a tax on bread. I recollect that Mr. Cobden threatened us with a rebellion if we attempted to re-enact protection for agriculture ; he threatened the House of Lords with the loss of their privileges, and the gentry with the loss of their estates, if an attempt were made to tax the bread of the people. But, after his vote on Mr. Disraeli's motion, am I not justified in saying that the real object which he and his party have in view is not to give the operatives untaxed bread, but to destroy the landed interest— (hear),—perhaps because the mild dignity of a hereditary peerage rebuked the purse-proud insolence of men who cared not at what national cost they might gratify their own reckless ambi tion, and because the yeomanry of England, ever loyal to the Crown, stood between the ancient institutions of England and the republic that is contemplated ?—(Cheers.) I test their good faith, I again repeat, by this mark—" Remove the tax from our home-grown produce, and then we may believe in the sincerity of your attachment to the principles which you profess; but if you tell us that you will rebel if we im pose a tax on foreign bread, and that you will continue the tax on the bread of this country, then I say that you are actu• a hat- to tr ated by a hatred t, ne landed interest—from the peer. at the head of that interest, to the humblest labourer, by whom the son is cuitivaten— tnear. near.) But I have trespassed too long on your patience (cries of " no, no," and loud cheers). I feel, notwithstanding this manifestation of your kindness, that I ought not to occupy much more of your attention (a cry apparently from some uns till morning," followed by some laughter and the most N,:ehe: ment cheering.) I confess I have thought, since the period of the introduction of that motion .of Mr. Disraeli, that it was the most judicious and the most complete test that could be applied of the sincerity of those agitators against a bread tax; and that, like the touch of Ithiniel's spear, it makes them when tested by it, stand before us convicted, and thoroughly exposes their hypocrisy. But we are told that a return to pro tection is impossible. Impossible! I irk, why? The policy that England pursued for .centuries was abandoned, and let us see how it was reversed. That was the work of a few men—l do not wish to say of a knot of conspirators, but of a few men without rank, although possessed of money, certainly—bold and unscrupulous, who in a few years revolutionised the policy of this country, and against the wishes of the people of this United Kingdom, forced on the country the policy of free trade. Had they the people with them ? (cries of " no.") What popular demonstration, such as that which prec,e,,ded the Reform called fora - repeal of the corn laws? An appeal was made to the county, and made on this very question of protection, and by an overwhelming majority the country de clared in favour of protection. But a knot of a few bold, un scrupulous, and active men, overpowered the voice of the country, and forced on us free trade, in opposition to our wishes. Well, that is a very discouraging circumstance, no doubt ; it is certainly a matter to alarm one for the institutions of England to see that a few men can thus force on great changes in opposition to the will of the nation. But, at the same time, I see in the history of the agitation for free trade, and in its success, much to encourage us. And why? Because the very point in that retrospect that is most disheartening is that which gives me confidence for the future, and it is this that those few bold adven turers succeeded in revolutionising our policy, because you and the people of England remained inactive. If you had been active—if you had vigorously - struggled—if you had met their falsehoods by facts —if you had taken pains to instruct the public mind, their puny efforts would have been as ridiculous in the results as they were base and contemptible in the motives.—(Hear, hear.) Had you, indeed, done your duty and been defeated by the Anti-Corn-law League, I should then despair of the safety of my country. And, when I say my country, I know of no dis tinction between England and Ireland. (Cheers.) I glory in being a citizen of the United Kingdom. (Hear.) I say had you done your duty, and been overpowered by a small and in significant knot of conspirators, I should despair of my coun try. But you were indolent, you had no combination, you had no activity. Now this is very discouraging in the retrospect, but it is encouraging for the future. lie now active, he ener getic, be combined, hold public meetings like this; and where will the Anti-Corn-law League be? (Hear, hear.) It is just because all those things happened while you were inactive, that I tell you now to have hope and confidence. I believe that the agricultural mind of England is roused, I believe the commer cial mind of England is roused, I believe that the popular mind of England is roused, I believe that the tradesmen of England arebeg,inning to know who are their real friends. Let them be roused ; and let us all take our stand for England, Scotland, 'and Ireland. I Hear.) Let us assert our claim to that magnifi cent colonial empire which, if free trade be persevered in, e cannot much longer continue to hold. (H ear , hear.) Let w us use all our resources for the benefit of all ; let us raise the cry "England and protection ;" and believe me the day of triumph cannot be faros. (Cheers.) This is the 'cause of England ; it is a cause in comparison with whose momentous interests party combinations sink into insignificance; forthe question at issue is not whether the policy which we advocate shall be carried into effect by the present administration, or by lionester and abler men; but whether or not we shall transmit unimpaired to our children the great inheritance of English glory, power, and prosperity. (Hear, hear.) Let the voice of this - country once proclaim that we must return to the good old principle of protection to native industry, and no matter who may be the men in office the voice of a great nation must be obeyed. I said - the working classes were beginning to know their true friends. Pardon me for making here an observation which -I had intended to make its the earlier portion of my address. The other night a relative of our noble chairman—one'who differs from us unfortunately on-the question of protection, but whose name cannot be mentioned without resoect by all who feel .a regard for the rights dr the poor—brought-under the attention of House of Commons the case of the working bakers of the metropolis, some of whom are obliged to work eighteen hours out of the twenty , four ; and that - case was met by an honourable member svith what, if he were not a member of the Society of Friends, I should call an unmanly sneer. The hon. gentleman wasno hard hearted landed aristocrat—no supporter of what is called the bread tax, but the lion. member for Man. cheater, Mr. Bright,—(marks of disapprobation,)—who, when he was told that some of his fellow Christians were toiling 18 hours out of the 24 fur the few years that their unhealthy occu pation permitted them to live, ridiculed them as "brawny Scotchmen, who were very well able totake care of themselvecc' (Hear, hear.) I say—and this is the principle of protection—that oar operatives are not to be left to take care of themselves ; I say that no man wbo depends on his work for his livelihood is able to take care of himself when he comes to make a bargain with an unscrupulous and hard-hearted employer—(hear, hear)—and therefore it is that protection must step in. And let us, whenever we have to argue this question of protection, not meet it on isolated details, but at once grapple boldly with that monstrous doctrine of the freetraders, that you canno t and ought not to regulate the course of industry and capital, but leave everything to itself, and that everything would then come right. Meet them upon that point ; tell them that you are for protection to every one—protection to the factory npe rative, protection to the poor baker, protection to the shipping interest, protection to4he landed interest; and that wherever there is a Briton who is willing to work you will give him pro tection, and will take eare that his just demands are not tram pled ender foot. (Cheers.) We will not send him to coin pete with the lowest class of-Labourers which the habitable world can produce, whether freemen or slaves, but so protect 'hint that, as-far as the resources of the country cats go, he shall have a fair day's wages for a fair day's work. (Hear, hear.) Talk of leaving . matters entirely to themselves ! Why, the thing is utterly impossib!e. There is not a labourer in the empire withwhose naturahrights you do not interfere. The moment you prevent him :front passing .across the ground appropriated to another, you acknowledge him as a member of a society that has entered into a compact for the regula tion of property. Then give (him the - benefit of that compact, and say that those who possess that property shall not be per mitted to find out the most degraded and vvvetched labourers the world can furnish to bid against him. (Hear, hear.) It is perfectly absurd to talk .of leaving matters to their natural course. In what are matters Jeff to their natural course? Is money, whichanay be considered the foundation of all com mercial intercourse, left wholly free ? (Heat,* hear.) Recollect by how many regulations you control men in their dealings with the currency. Your currency measures have, within a not very distant period, increased the value of money by at least 10 per cent. I -believe that 'in making that statement I Am far below the truth. (A voice.—Far below it; they have increased it by one-half 4 0 ) Supposewe take a meats, and say one-third. (A 'Rue].) 'Every man who had any fixed charges in this country suffered in,proportion ; anti we owe -e809,000,000 of-a national debt to the (uudholders. Those measures must have greatly added to the ; ational debt—the free-trade mea sureahave greatly added to because there is no better test of value than the price of corn; and ,it is manifest that any law which depreciates the price of corn must, in effect, add to the national debt. Would it not take more quarters of corn at present than it would formerly have taken to pay the national debt? You have, therefore, added to the wealth of the fundholder at the expense of the landed interest by every step you have taken in free trade. Under these circtun stancesais manifestly absurd in a country like this to talk of leaving matters to take their natural -course. I have endea voured to form upon this subject the best audgnient which I could. -I believe that in no state of society that ever existed upon earth, or -that ever will exist, can there be a time when it will not be the .duty and the interest of a nation to protect its own industry. It :does very, well to talk about the prosperity of the world at large ; but I believe that that Providence which pointed out to all the families of the ear* their respective abodes, and which divided 1 countries by natural barriers, also intended that there should he a commercial superintendence in each of the districts into which, whether we will or -not, communities are divided. I confess I could not hat feel that strongly on reading a statement made by Sir Robert Peel, when, in the course of last autumn, I believe, he was presented with the freedom of the city of Aberdeen. I remember the time when a British statesman, in acknowledging such a com pliment, would have spoken of the successful industry of the peo ple from whom it came and of that national prosperity which such industry has contributed to create ; and I felt how free trade and its principles had deteriorated the character of British states men when I found Sir Robert Peel telling his auditors to proceed in their enterprise, and that they would have the satisfaction of 'knowing, not that they bad added to the happiness of their coun try, but that they had contributed to the enjoyment of the whole human race (hear, hear.) Wow, I believe, that that charity which would embrace the whole human race within its limits is but a ape• elous pretence for neglecting that charity that would attend to our own people(cbeers); and exactly as I should think that man hypo critical and heartless -who should say he had a great regard for the whole human race, and yet left his own wife and children at home to starve so should I distrust the plttriotism and the philanthropy of that statesman who should turn his regards mainly to the inter eats of the inhabitants of distant lands . (hear, hear.) And why is that? Just, because, as I said before, in the same way in which the Maker of this world has divided men into families, he has left to each society the superintendence bf its own members, and to each state the superinierelencelof its own subjects, and, believe me, if we were in this great British empire to take care that every cue of our people was employed, that every branch of British industry was protected from for e i gn com p et i t ion, end that every British labourer bad a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, we should do more to promote the happiness of the human race than if, in the wild attempt to extend our philanthropy over the globe, we were to forliit those advantages which God bits given us at home (loud and long-continued cheering.) Pie applause was renewetton the announcement of kith/911x eILVNEAIS, and it weS SOW time bt fore be could proceed with his address. He said he was sure that thou gentlemen in that vast assembly, who were not particularly con nected with Liverpool, would pardon him if, after the extraor dinary reception which had been given to his name, he should interpose for a minute, in order, in a few and feeble words, to give utterance to that gratitude which he must say overpowered him.—(Hear, and cheers.)—Those cheers, that applause, inevi tably recalled to his mind those days when, souse three years ago, he was permitted in this magnificent town to raise the torn and tattered banner which now, in all the conscious pride of coming victory, floated proudly o'er them; and when defeated and ritliculel, as they were, in that vain attempt, he yet, in the name of the meeting, ventured to assure their uoastful op ponents that they were not vanquished.—(Cheers.)—That pro phecy, he thought, was now on the eve of accomplishment. When lie saw, that morning ' as he camealong our,line of docks, every British ship decorated gaily with flags, that told him what the feelings of their owners were; and when he saw assembled in that vast hall, the merchants, the shipowners, the bankers, the tradesmen, and the artizans of Liverpool, he could not for a moment doubt that they had at last broken the net of that which Mr. Butt, in his eloquent speech, had rightly called "a conspiracy against therights of English labour."—(Hear; hear.) They all had learned from longconviction,others,perhaps, front a more recent and bitter experience—they all had learned to test, at their true vale, the theories and the systems'which now for three or four years had been carrying ruin and distress through every corner of the British empire. When they saw that on no great branch of industry had a compensating ad vantage been gained—when they knew that in every ; great town in the kingdom our working people were toiling longer hours, for less wages, than they had done before—when we read, in the free importing organs of the metropolis the most harrowing accounts of the sufferings of those working people—he said, they would not only refuse to retire from the struggle, but e would renter upon it with a thousand times increase d con viction of the justice of their claim and the urgency of a victory. He would say no more. Every point of that high argument had been illustrated by the speakers who .had pre ceded him. He would detain the meeting no longer ; 'but per mit him to assure his kind. his too kind Liverpool friend. that the way in which they had received him now, recalling as it did the way in which they had received him when, an almost untried man, he had tried, inadequately, to flght, not foe him self, but for them, that great battle in 1847, which bad filled his heart with sensations of gratitude which lie then feebly had attempted to express. (Loud and reiterated cheering, waving of hats, &c.) The resolution was then put to the meeting, and unanimously carried amid loud acclamation. The Lion. H. W. WILSON, of Edeisten-hall, Leicestershire, moved the next resilu:ion. Mr. TORK, a tenant farmer from Lincolnshire, seconded the motion. He knew a certain farm of 540 acres, whieli became occupied in 1847, and was resold this May-day, after two years 'occupancy. .t5OOO, which had been invested in its cultivation, dwindled down in that short period to £3050 (hear.) The loss of farming did not cot,sist so much of rental. From May-day, 1848, to 1849, the bulk of the rents of North Lincolnshire were lost to the proprietors, but the absence of rent did not make up for the loss which was incurred. The distress amongst the agriculturists was not confined tethe tenant farrier; but he was sorry to stand there and to have to give evidence that the distress was fast overtaking the agricultural labourers. The resolution was then put anii carried. Mr. From UND AIOLVNEUX proposed a vote of thanks to the chair; and, being seconded by Mr. Talbot Clifton, and carried Three cheers were given for the Marquis of GRANBY, and ere were loud calls for his lordship. He stood forward, and said a few words, amidst great applause. The meeting then broke up at half-past six o'clock, the pro ceeding having thus occupied nearly seven hours. fWeiltgairr TUESDAY; JUNE 4.—Wind S. light.

Beyond a fewunimportant fluctuations named in some of the English, Scotch, and Irish markets this week, most articles of the Corn tr a d e a pp ear t o rema i n fi rm, and in partial cases Wheat i reported to have realized a slight amend ment in value; whilst here, during the period between Tuesday and the close of yesterday, no material changes intervened.

Having had a very small number of buyers at our Ex change' to-day, and a general determination on the part of millers to remain inactive, we have to note an exceedingly dull lingering sale for Wheat of all descriptions; and although holders refused to accept lower terms, the rates of Tuesday were hardly sustained.—Flour, including all denominations, was equally difficult to sell, and nominally the turn chew , — Barley - Malt, Bea, , ..nd Pease, meeting very little notice, ,carcely maintained our last quotations.—Oats, of which few good mealing samples remain undisposed of, were held firmly, but moved sparingly at late prices. —In Oatmeal no variation. —lndian Corn, upon a more limited demand than before, re ceded 6d. per quarter for parcels not yet landed, those in gra nary continuing to be held steadily at former rates. • LIYERPOOL .AG tICULTUaIIL r PRODUCE MARKET, JUNE 8.
