pointed Wednesday next as the day for an interview with
the Liverpool deputation on the tea duties. The GMegow
deputation will have an interview at the same time. The
Manchester deputation, who take up another portion of the

on tea to a rate proportionate to that levied on the like
articles of gem ral consumption, such as coffee, cocoa, and
sugar, lies at our office, as well as at several other places,

inhabitants of Lies rpool, respectfully sheweth, that your me-
morialists have on 'enrol occasions advocated the expediency
and petitioned the legislature fora considerable reduction
of the present high TV' of duty on tea ; the', in 1784, a large
reduction in the previously existing tea duty took place, and
that within two years the consumption of tea was trebled ;
that the population is much larger, and the desire for tea

DEATH PEON NEGLECT AND EXPOSURE TO COLD.
—As inquest was held oa Tuesday, at Kempsey, on the
body of a newly-barn male child, whose death was caused by
lying exposed to the cold on the turnpike-road, on Monday.
Ou that day awomen, nar.ed Mary Ann Thompson, aged 24,
• native of Dundee (who, in consequence of her husband
having deserted her about eta months ago, bal been com-
pelled to wander about the country begging), left the Upton
Union Workhouse, in company with another mendicust,
newel Hall, to proceed to Worcester. At the time of
leaving the former place she complained of being unwed;
but it dose not appear that she solicited medical assistancee,
which she was there informed she might have. On reaching
Kempeeey, the pains of labour suddenly came on, and the
was delivered of an infant while lying on the snow in the
turnpike road. Her companion immediately sought assist-
ante at the Crown, and was told by Hire. Webb to go to the
relieving officer. The woman remained in the road fall 20
minutes before she was removed, sad from the evidence taken
at the inquest it appeared the poor creature did sot receive
that timely aid which her perils under the most ordinary dr-
cumeances would have met with. Evidence haying been
heard in proof of the above statement of tne cue, the jury
returned the following verdict;—" That the child died Irons
exposure to cold and want of proper attention at its birth;
and the jury blame Mrs. Webb, the landlady of the Caewn,
for not giving prompt attendee to the application met for
assistance on behalf of Cho nothor.—Abridged from War-

Yesterday a sting of the protectionists was held

The doors of the hall ware 'gonad at 12 o'clock, but be- ,

sort of private entrance, these, for the mast part, appearing
to be of the elms called " tenant farmers " There wee.

Immediately on the great dean being *pima, there
rushed in some hooked of the sturdy shoemakers of Staf-
ford, who set up • hearty cheer, and cried out most lustily
but good-humouredly, for "fire trade" and • "cheep
loaf.' There were at this lune about 1,000 persons in the
hall, bat it was observed that so scan as the free trade party
had entered, as many of the fanners se could be accommo-
dated, made their way into the galleries. Lord Talbot's
tetrads for some time vainly urged the lemon to descend to
the body of the hall, of which the Ina trade party held pos.
sagefun, until at length Lard Lewisham himself set the ex-
ample, and his lordship was followed by a hundred of his
trim* Mr. Meteyard, the barrister, urged the freetraden
to quit, and order having been to • certain extent ob-
tained,

Lord St. VINCENT moved that Lord Talbot should take
the chair. For upwards of a quarter of an hour the :pear
was so great, that not a word of his lordship's speech ould
be heard. He was understood to say that he was not
noun of the Queen's having delegated her authority, or any
portion of it, to Mr. Cobden, but from that arch-agitator's
speech at Leeds it seemed as it this wen the cue; now he
put it to the farmers of Ho gland whether they would permit
this man to exercise such an influence on the nation ?
(linens.) He did not wish ti say anything in disparage-
ment of Sir Robert Peel; that distinguished person had a
right to maks any arrangement he pleased with tie temuys,
bat there were points in his resent letter deserving of the it
serious attention ; by the course which that statesman had
canned, a stimulus had been given to agriculture in foreign
naafis', and the consequence was that Englund had
been inund xerl with foreign corn. et A good thing.")
He (Lord St. Vincent) enterained a different opinion, and
he humbly thought Sir Robert Peel, before he opened the
fixrdgate• of the counrry to the foreigner, should have taken
ears to.adiqoitely provide for the British farmer.
A cry of disapprooation, met by cheers, at this sentiment
was the signal toe a g I uproar, which ended in a regu-
lar fight in the body of the hall. The fns trade: party, who
appeered for the most part to oe mechanism, and of course
unarmed, were assailed by the farmers with heavy riding.
whips and sticks. In a minute or two both ruin was, d
into a perfect fury; blued war observed to be str eatuing
from the heads of half persons at onc and for
upwards of ten minutes the fight continued from one end or
the hall to the other with unmistakeable enmity and deter-
mination of purpose on both sides. At length the farmers
betook themselves to the gall. vies, the fret traders set up
• tremendous about, and order was partially restored for the
moment.

Lard ST. VINCENT then prseeeded to rem uk that the
best interests of the enintry b en eacriti-ed ; that the
cry of " cheap bread" had se _need to the fire teed, rs many
friends, but that the poor people nad been deprived of the
means of paying for it ; ant hie Lordship said that he hoped

achieved. Youths were thrust out—others a more slued>
character were seised by their haunches and literal:), thrown
oat. After this summary recess bad continued tor about
a quince of an hour, the hall was declared to he
cleared of the Ire o trade party ; the farmers there upon, with
• shout of triumph, descended from the gadeet.s, and
tilled the body ut the ball ,• Lsrd erdired the
doors to be closed, whick was done, amidst the
groans of thew outside, and at the same instant,
promised by this act, as immense stone, Moen with fearful
precision, was the mu carom& the windows, and struck the
torehead of lir. F:wler, a London reporter, who stood im-
mediately behind le.rd Talbot, and whom It felled tinme•
dietely, the blo-d putting profusely from his forehead ; the
doors were eludes opened, and the body of polim men guard-
leg the entranes, to pr-vent the free-trade party cawing,
order was partiel:y revored.

Lord TALBOT thereupon (after a passing is/lesion to what
he dMgeatee the outrage of a Loved m^b), proceeded
to address the assershly. Ma lordship said that the
meeting had bees called of the friends of protection ocly,
rid that cons, quently no o•her persons had a ri,..ot to enter
:he hall. lie went on to a mpiein of the conduct of Mr.
Buller (late M.P. foe North St dfordshire), in bald' g
jected to the hall being used for the purposes of this mee•ing,
an objection which (he said) he regarded in the lidit of an
insult to himself, and through him to the counts. His
lordship proceeded to advert to the old statements relative to
cl,pres‘ion—to the disinterestednees of the land-
-I.rels, who did not (he said) want any undue protection,
and were therefore not deterring the epithet of • monopo-
iies," which had been to freely applied to them. He
en:ered into statistic., with the v.ew to show bow im-
possible it was for the farmers to live under the
ea:sting system, and he denounced Mr. Cobden and his
friends as a set of demagogues going up and down the
coontry endeavouring to uproot its best interests. His lord
ship referred especi .lly to" that iniquitous piece of sedition
and insolence dtl'vered at Leeds, which was on the verge
of tr, ason, and it was only a piece of cowardice on the port
both of Cobden and Bright that they did not open their
hears and avow their disloyalty to the crown.•• His
lords .ip went over the old ground of the speakers
at the various proterionist meetings recently held he
expressed an opinion that, be ore 18.52, the price of wheat
would be 28r. or 275. a quarter, and he conclude 1 by
remarking that they were not called upon to propose rtme.
dies. Their business was to impress on parliament the ne-
cessity of some change, either by an alteration of the cur-
rency system, Cr by a return to protection, or by a relief
from those special burdens which pressed most grievously on
the agricultural interest.
All the time that Lord Talbot had been speaking the crowd
outside the hall had been increasing, and the showing and
groaning was kept up so incessantly that it was quite clew
a crisis was at hand. In these circumstances the speakers
were specially enjoined to brevi.y.
Mr. TURNER, a tenant-former, moved, briefly, the fol-
lowing resolution
" That the present painful and distressed situation of the
agricultural interest bears puticularly on the tenant-farmer,
and all others employed in the cultivation of the soil, as well
as-all trades dependent on r griculture for support: the
grievous injury inflicted on Ireland, our colonial empire, the
shipping and all other industrial interests, is mainly attri-
butable to the mistaken policy of free trade."

Mr. THOMAS HAgTSHORN, a county magistrate,
essayed a lengthened speech, amidst the it;cressing clamours
of those without the hall. He said that he knew better
than Mr. Hurtable and the " gim crack " farmers,
and that high farming would not pay, but that
low farming would be better in these times. The speaker
referred to various parrs in the course of his speech, sad
his auditory impatiently urged him to "be quick." Mr.
Hartshorn rejoined, " D—d if I can see." This provoked
another uproar from the free-traders at the door, whereupon
Mr. Hartshorn said, " lam not talking to you, but to my
friends here with good hats on."
Not another sentence was beard : with a tremendous shout
a volley of stones was poured upon the hail windows—brick-
ende, pebbles, and other such missiles, descending into the
hall ; many present fled in terror from the building, and
order was never again restored; the county constabulary,
not strong enough to cope with the force of the ease-
pera'ed people outside the ball, had fled; the mob held
poisession in front of the building and, in this crisis, Mr.
Proctor, the chief of the constabLlary, brought word to
Lord Talbot that the Mayor declined to interfere ; in feet,
there was no call for his worship's interference, for his towns-
men bad behaved well uutil attacked.

Mr. ADDERLBY, M.P., hastily moved, and some other
Renames& emeaded an address to the Queen, pra, inu for a
dissolution of parliament, and the meeting broke up in panic
sad disorder, the noble chairman not having put either re-
solution to the meeting. His lordship said he should con-
sider them as carried.

As the farmen left the hall, they encountered their anta-
gonists la the square, and for upwards of an hour a sharp
fight was kept up. Scores were knocked down like bul-
locks, garments were torn off, and numbers escaped only
with terrible bruises; even Lord Talbot himself found him•
self engaged in one or two severe tussles before ho could gain
the shelter of his hotel.
At the time this report was despatched, the town was in a
highly excited state; the mob hunted the leaders in the
affray down to the railway, pelting them with stones and
other offensive missiles: these only found safety within the
walla of the railway station.
Our r 4 porter adds—" It was a very sad exhibition altv-
gether„ but those only were to blame who, by their attempt
to make the misting of an exclusive character, provoked
that spirit of bad feeling which resulted in this unfortunate
strife.'
