THE

GREAT MEETING AT THE FREE-

On Wedortfay (Is.) evening, a meeting of liberal
rectors and other inhabitants of Masehester took place in
the Frerotrode Rail, to bear midterm from Richard Cobden,
Req.. M.P ; John Bright, Req., 1111 .P ; and the Right lion
The Milner Oilmen, UP. Though the object of the
metiag had not been defined in the advertisement by which
it was convened, the newsp..pen having the best mow
of access to oell.authentiested inlmmatios on the ambler
had led the public mind to undentaad its pearl scope and

bees gradeelly awakened upon it at • east of great labour,
energy, and expense, and so roused to • high degree of in

or twelve sheered persons, and there might be those who
doubted if there was yet mind esesgh brought to tsar on
this question, in the inkry of the movement, to vender it at

•dditionel argument that we should ham an increase of
krem. (Loud cit eers.) And here lam very glad to call to
my aid the .pin on of a etatellaaa who will probably be
allowed by our opponents to be a good authority.
Towards the cline of the last session of parliament, Sir
Robert Inglis, member for the University of Oxford, uttered
this extraordinary doctrine—very extraordinary anywhere
but at Oxford—that the longer you remain at peace, the
greater probability that you will go to war (Croat laugh- I
ter ) His idea seemed to be that men in time of ram
were oaly fattening for a speedy slaughter. (Laurin r.)
Beer what Lord Palmerston laid in reply to it :—"But
I look, gentlemen. to the tendency of men's minds towards
a ce. lard I differ firma the hon. in toiler for the University
of Oxford, who thinks 'het the long duration of
pear made» war more probable. I think, on
the contrary, that the duration of peace renders
its costinuartee matt. likely " (Cheers.) Well, aow gentle-
usee, in 1835 we spent 11,800,0001 for She army, navy, and
ovinenee. I props.. we now should ant expend more than
10.000.0001. and the 1,600,0901 that I take frms the ex-
penditure for wa-like purposes, I add to the viva es- I
In 1848 we

government, 4.300,0001. allow 5,000,0001, tor the Mal
expenditure of government; and taking into mount
the seeing in the collection of revenue, I tae .ha
ontemplated management of crown land., estimated :
by a financial reformer at one and a half millions.)
Taking His into account, I allow more for the civil govern-
meet than they are actually expending. And therefore I
get rid altogether of the argument for increase of exmoditure
in governing the people (He r, hear) Then there has
heels ten. ether argument used, and it is this : Duth g the
last year and the year before 'hers wee a defirrney of
revenue. We spent more than we received, ard borrowed
money ; and tin y ate it Mr. Cobden'.plan ohould be car-
ried out still, he will not have his so 'millions to dispose of
in the tales. My answer—and these monis' financier.
might be aware of that argument—tat it it has (el-
len off during the last year, it is bemuse the
Inlet ',sheet of every manwicttorm likewise, inn
the ledger of every merchant is the ematry, resents
a deficit; bemire the profits of every man in the
eountry have fallen off too. (Hear, hear.) Bat now you
hay. trade reviving, fed tia free trade principles, and in-
stantly you am the revenue laseam—(cheen)--and this year
tor the next year you will certainly or yea have a surplus
revenue a. certaie ly as you had a deficit last year. (Cheers.)
But I say, gentlemen, I want to keep financial reformers to
Os point ; for we must have a simple point of faith, or we
cannot march together Oi.• me beck the expenditure of
the year 1833. and I will guarantee the remission of the ten
mallow. (Cheers) If you want—if the country wants—to
reduce the duty on tea to one half, and abolish altogether
the tax apes timber, upon butter, upon cheer and soap,
ann. parr, upon melt and bops, upon home windows—
(loud been)—if y.a want to ylrsmt aa end to the systems that

Will flambe content with too milli ros—ead it not, why not?
(Cheer%) I want the arguments why nor I was asked the
other day by a member of porliament. " When are you going

ment na year plan ?" My alma r was this: I skald be •

von have but 14 admirals you an find active service for.
With all the ingenuity to pat admirals to work where they
are not waisted. y-e an mar find room for 14. (Laughter
and churn.) What do I fled in your arsay—why you have
&colonel for ever, regiment who does the wort,another col nel

Well Dow, maulemen, these are Must/Mims of how the
motley is waged thole yen have paid for theme strive. But
I genet confine myself to the abuses and waste that take
place; I will not lend myself to the delusion prwtised '
upon the country by those politicians who profess to ,
move with us. but who are oral trailing a
red herring across oar path, as t amid to
to do upon the free-trade questims—febeers an laughter)—
who tell us that by amorany In the dockyard, by
better manse, meat, they Gan stake a saving, but that you ,
Can have an saving by a reduction of your force. I lend
myself to no delusion like that. I tell you in the outset that
in order to effect such a redaction of our armament fy. the
relief of the country—a mistrial venal, that will he felt in
the home• ad firesides of the emistry—vos, must reduce
the number of men, ad be contented with a smaller
of brute form Ia the eye of the world.
(C▪
rest cheering) Toe mast trust something to Pro-
videnea, something to your own just 'Runtime...to your
rood conduct towards other nations, and not put faith in I
elotly farms and manifortations of brute force, salon now do.
(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I ring this matter home to my
opposers with a few figures How is it we bays had this

• af waste., the Vetere in the noshing ot admirals and
