VISIT OF MR. COBDEN, M.P.
LEEDS, WIIDNISDLT.
Richard Cobden, En , M.P.. yesterday paid his
keg muteipsted visit to his oomiuseats at Leeds, and as a
suitable eelebestice of the event a public meeting was held
in the evening in the Husk Hall, is order t. siptae-
sinsins to the sentiments et the inhabitants and demon on the
questions of the pub is expenditure, txtension of the Ina-
Ingo, forty shilling freeholds, and peace. A more numerous
and eathniaatic gathering has, perhaps. never beta held is
the hail.
AWATIMaiI CBILIVIT presided.
Ti. CHAIRMAN, os eking to itthredues the Vastness el
the evening was loudly applaaded. Having ratite-a to the
Mistake of those who Rapeseed the et monition of proteana

prised in a few outtakes. Flatheial reform—(oplause)—

eiviated Implant (Loud *Deers) I will now read
the I Imo to move :
"Tbat Os mostimg considers it to be one of the Ant duties
of parlionont to mirth over the public expenditure with
strict emsonly, so as to radon the oppressive burden of ,
taxation m ter as possible ; that the expenditure of the year
1849 szonded that of the year 1818 by 6,292,4921.--an ex-
thou in whin as justitioatioa is to Os found in the circum-
stances of the aunty; that a Imp redoctioa in the public
tatablishments, especially in Moos maintained for warlike
purisces. and for the service of the colonise, is therefore
impaatively required ; and that those mesibers most G
fully discharge their duty to the people who reeolotely
demand such redaction."
The CHAIRMAN nee sad said, is ceder to give apoof

will motile meth other in this great cause, our friend,
Mayor of Bredford, has come to this mining, and

The MAYOR of BRADFORD (Hoary Foam, Beq.)
seconded the resolution. * hick was tarried unanimously. I
EDWARD BAINUS, Req.,propostad the next resolutions I
" That, in the judgment of this meeting, a large extaneinal
of the elective franchise may justly be demanded, and mien I

the industrious classes of a 40s. freehold in land se
me likely to be attended with great edema.=
sad politioal."
Alderman LUCCOCK seconded the resolution.
Mr. COBDEN, on rising, was nesivtd with loud cheer-1
big and waving of bats and handeerchiek, which demon-
strations lasted for some thin. Ater claiming the kohl-
genes of the assembly on the ground of being indisp.osed with
a cold and hoarseness, he mid—Oentlemen, amongst the
questions which have been launched this evening by on
worthy chairman is one which I fondly hoped I should
sever again have had the necessity of speaking upon—l
mean the old worn•out, the old disgusting question of pm-
tection. (Laughter and applause.) Why I thought it wee
deed and burl-d years ago. (Laughter.) It is now eleven
years this very month, and I believe this very week, since
the fitst great meeting was held in Blanchette?, from whit"
originated the Anti-Corn-Law League. That seeing of
200 persons from all parts of the kingdom took place Is
December, 1838, and many gentleman here present were at
that meeting. (Hear, hear.) For seven years afterwards
there was a continual agitation of the question throughost
the country, and I believe nearly 2,000 public meetings wen
held upon it in every part of the kingdom. Hundreds of
tons' weight of tracts were printed and distributed upon
this question ; debate after debate took stem upon
bated
it in
parliament—emsetimes scarcely sal else was de
there for months—and now, at the end of eleven yew*, we
are told that we are to kayo this walks up again for dis-
mission. And why, and on what ground, Amongst other
pleas why we should have this question nds ro.agitatad in,
that the agriculturists were betrayed and protection was sud-
denly abandoned, after eleven yeses of tliscumisa only.
(Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, soma se lam teneereed, I
nave allowed certain peoplo to go at talking, and talking
in the House of Common., without ever having conde-
scend' d to answer them. Nay, I candidly con-
fess that I felt the most supreme tempt for
all they said. (Loud spplause ) I viewed (tang nothing
but the writhinms and coutortions of a body that had
lost its head. (Lmighter.) I semen so utterly insignia.
'sat -so utterly insignificant by every attainment that can
sonetitate a statesman—that I serer thought themi worthy to
M ONSWeittl. But, gentlemen. I have been told, and told by
gmedemen in who- 'Judgment I haveconfidence, that we have
adored this thing to be talked of too Ins, and that there is
seamed a very large portion of the farming class in this

that • whole pantry is preparing to go ban again to

in it. (Cheers.) Now, where is the proof of reaction in
the West Riding ?We have in this riding—this popula-
tion which I have the bon ter to repreeent--about
1,40C.000 soule—aboot one-twelfth part of the whole
population of Easksd, sad a far larger proportion
of the wealth, intelligens', sad productive Industry of
England. Well, l reckon that community is going to have
a voice is this gees lon of the bread tax. (Cheers.) Well,
now, is newer to thee* village heroes—(applauss end
laughter)--these men who, vibes they have put their
pan is a turmoil that 'natty reenibles • stormtepantpot, fancy the whole of England gathered together. when
it is nothing but an agitation of the squire, Ms agent, and
probably a perm and a doctor. (Laughter and applause.)

as these are only • couple of predictions, di I want is this.'
Sometime or other. I presume, the farmers will wish to have
friends who tell them the truth. Whenever the time CMOs
when the farmers understand who it is who has been telling
hem the truth,—chase who say they use ring to have pro-
tection, or those who say from this platform they never
shall have one farthing more acorn law,—

In the agricultural districts. We are told that ail
narts of the country ate is distress sad dissatisfaction.
That is the old stray apin. Because the landlords feel a
little enemy—they who bare been so loss seentoined to
consider themselves tun whole oommunity--(I believe unsay
of them think so)—they get up and say the whole
H comp
niuniry is suffering from extreme distresa. (" en,
hear," and cheers) Now, I say ths West Riding of York-
shire has been growing more prole gins at.d suffering lees
and lea distress in proportion as the pries of corn, of which
those landlords eomplaio, has become more mo lerate—

and party in this community suffering distress, as they
were in 1812 and 1843. And that is what they want to
bring you back to ; for having looked into the matter with
attention for ten years pas.. I declare that I find no period
since the war whet.> the manufsctaring interest has been
for two years together in a state of de

those measures whieh, if enconsful, must spin throw the
manufacturing community into that state of distems from
