Mr AINSWORTH, who succeeded Mr. Blair, said it

-4,1g•01t of Holton, whom beliad served in parliament dar-

peat principles of free trade. He had aided
in reducing the impart duties upon sugar,

with pleasure the happy effects with which such reductions

thought it was the duty of the mete to educate the people,

great amount of happiness end comfort upon the working
classes, end for his determined support of which a deputa-
tion of master spinners from Belton, who waited upon him
in London. threatened that he should not be again returned
foe the borough. He was in favour of gradual and pewees-
sive reforms in the institutions of the country, which Ito
thought it desirable that all should unite in obtaining.
Mr. BARNES commenced his address by alluding to the
Me-trade question, which they had once thought was
settled, but which they totted, by a combination of circum-
stances, had not been settled as ezpeeted. Ps:Lament had

versus protection, and the people were called upon to give
their verdict upon this important subject. Upon that tree-
dict depended in a great measure the welfare of those before

the head of affairs a Lumber of men who hail all their life-
time been the most determined an bitter opponents of free
trade, and the moot devoted friends of protection and mono-

free trade, to support them in robbing them of that great

protection, but were of the same opinion still ; and it
