" Yours very faithfully,
" R. A. Chrietnphem, Req., M.P." " BIOWNLOW.
Mr. CHAPLIN roes to move the first nunlike. Ha
said no en would deity that there was great distress now
existing, not only in this town, but in ail the villages in the
asighboenced. He could only state, se • magistrate of the
Sleeked nano, that he was constantly applied to by work-
ing men anxious to knew where their settlement was, as
they need get no work ; and by the new law of instep's.
Why them awn could not be removed, while the parish was
cot bound to relieve them. They were, 'therefore, obliged
to break up their homes and go to the union. (Hear, hear.)
He had been over to Shahid union the other day, and he
toned that there were now in the salon 103 persoes more
than in the corwpoading period of last year. He believed
the cause was to be found in the feet that farmers were
obliged to reduce their labour. If there were a duty of Bs. a
quarter upon wheat, as the average produce" of this country
wee about then quarters an acre, it would give the farmer
ea Menage of 24e. per acre for his predate, which would
enable him to employ a considerable number of labourers,
while It would only add 3d. a stop to the pries of Flour.
I (Hear, hear.) If the present system went on, the inferior
lands which is this country lad, to a
.great extent, been
Nought into ,cultivation of late, would is thrown out, and
the labourers wou:d be forced to emigrate, and then the
foreigner, who 'has Nanning enough to understand his own
interest, would land in his own, bat he would take ears to
have his own price for it. And wuat would the tradesmen be
the better for it? At present the landlords as well as the
hunts employed a number of baboon's. Re himeelebeing fond
of hunting, employed a number damn in kis stably; bat it his
rents were lowered, of course he must give up these amuse-
ments, and turn of the men he employed. (A cry of "Lower '
your nate, and the farmers will employ more labour.") Es
could lot talk to that gentleman tin ne was a tenant of his
own, and that he was sure would never be. (Laughter.) But
then they were told by that illustrious and perfect statesman
(Sir Robert Peel)—(laughter)—he told them to grow more
corn, but he reminded them that that could not be done
without more money, and when was the money to come
from at the present time ? (Hear, hear.) After admitting
the boasted improvements of Mr. }hatable sad Mr.
Meehi, he said that his wish was that neither the tenant nor
the labourer should be oppressed, but that all should live
and let live. (Cheers.) He concluded by stating that, by the
old law of Ilisabstb, stock in trade, as well as land, was
liable to the poor-rates; but the cunning mill-owners had
contrived to get the burden thrown off their shoulders.
That would, however, expire this sushi', and he hoped the
parliament would take care that it should not be renewed.
(Cheers.) He concluded by moving
" That the free and unreetzietU importation of foreign
prodeoe bee brought on the agricultural interest, and all
ethers employed in connection with it is this country, great
and alines unprecedented distress, and that a outdid and
loyal address be presented to her Majesty the Queen, and
also petitions to both houses of parliament, praying that toe
Queen andparliamenCulttake the same into their immediate
and serious consideration, and impose such fair and reason-
able duties on foreign produce as may improve the revenue
of the country, end relieve the present distress."
Mr. HENEAGE seconded the motion, and went over the
different corn laws that had been enacted since 1827. In
1841 Lard John Russell proposed • fixed duty of Bs. as a
lair and reasonable tax en the importation of porn; but in''
1848, whoa a race of popularity was running between him
and Sir Robert Peel, he came forward and wrote his cele-
brated letter to the electors of Loudon, which cut the
ground from under his feet in supporting the 8.. duty, at
the subsequent settlement of the question. Had Lord John
Revell adhered to his first preposition, he believed it would
hats been considered as a fair comprondee between the
different Interests, and there would have been no necessity
for this meeting in the Castle-yard of Lincoln. (Cheers )
Mr. NORTON then came forward, and was received • ith
loud sheen. Mr. Chaplin, he said, lied uptessed great sym-
pathy for the rate of the poor. Now, he found that Mr.
Chaplin had 4,000 acres of extra.paroehial land which did
not pay one penny to the relief of the poor. (Cris* of
" Shame.") (Mr. Chaplin : But how many poor are upon
it ?) Mr. Norton went on to enumerate other gentlemen who
had land la the sane condition, there being in all about
10.000 acres in the neighbourhood of Lincoln that were not
rated to the poor. (Cries of " Shaine.) lie rejoiced that
the free-traders had given the gentlemen who preceded him
• fair hearing, and he hoped the protectionists would give
him and his friends as fair • hearing, thereby proving that
they bad met for disesteem', and not for clamour. (Cheers )
He was not there to prove that every clam of tradesmen were
in a flourishing state, hut In did say that the great manatee-
turieg interests were never in a better erudition. The nearest
manufacturing town to them was Nothesham, where trade
was in the most prosperous condition. Theo, as to Leicester
and Derby, which • few years ago were in the most distressed
condition; now, the only difficulty was, to get the men to work
I more than three or four days a week. Sheffield, which two
years ago was a MIS of pauperism, was now in the most
thriving state. The West Riding of Yorkshire—the woollen
oistrion—were busy, as the farmers of Lincolnshire well
knew, se their wool which last year sold for 18s., now
beought 284. (Mr. Chapin : I sold some last week for 245.)
Mr. Chaplin bad refined to foreign wool. There had been
lately an importation of foreign wool, to the extent of two
million stones. Last year it sold for Is. 2d., cow it brought
2s. So it was in Lancashire, where the only difficulty was,
to get a sufficient quantity of cotton at • low price. (" Oh,
oh!) Then, look at the state of the revenue—look at the
Galati= of the Bank of lingland—all indicating a pro.-
penes state of the country, Mr. Chaplin had reetmusteaded
a fixed duty of of Bs. • quarter. Now, there bad been an
importation of a million quarters acorn every month, and
a fluid duty of film. would be • toe up= the people to the I
extent of 12,000,0001. • year ; and this, let them entombs',
would be a private sax fu the laadlorda. (Laughter. en,
sties of " Oh, oh.") Rather than kennel a Mx, he would
=that Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Cnristopeer, awl Wood
should be in possession of some of the sinecures
of the eonatry, at a salary of 8,0001. a yese. (Laughter,
end arks of " Hear, bear!" nom Colonel Sibthorp.)
That would satisfy the landlords, and it would be bettor for
the anatry. The landlords told them that at unseat prices
the Means could sot cultivate their !sod rent free. That
was dine blarney. If they weld reduce their rents—he
weswlltf is say cemequarter—they would never hear one
abed promotion. (Ckeers.) If their statemenn were
hlieSW Mad they have the eoeseience to exact the pre-
sent rents from their Masnts ? (Cheers.) Nothing lied
ben today about reduction of rents Mr. Chaplin
would aft talk about reduction of rents. (Cries of " hear,
hear; me teectuion.") The tenants bad power to dictate
terms to their landlords. He celled upon them to do so, and
imitate the endue of their brother manufecturers, who had
the aims taxes as them, who had foreign competition to
meet, and who did sot go whining to ierliament for protec
tics. (Cheers, and nies of " Oh, oh.") He called upon
tenants and labourers to rapport Ms amendment :
"That this meeting regards with great satisfaction the
improved state of the manufacturing and trading in-
terests of the community under a tree-trade policy, as evi-
denced by the large externem of our experts, the -increase of
hellion is the Beak, the augmentation eddy" revenue, and
the diminution of pauperism. (Cries of " Oh, oh," and
laughter.) It riormaises the many advantages that have
arises from the plenty sad cheapness of the ant zummearies
of life—a plenty sad cheapness which is the basis of the
wealth sad happiness Others classes on whom the pray, thy
of the onntry mutt permanently depend; and that, there-
fore this meeting does not desire to retrograde to the old
sprout of , but that to meet the low prices of
agricultural produce, and to enable the British fanner to
Inapt* with the fortis* grower. it Is secesindr that the
rent of lead let nadir a high scale of produce should be re-
duced la conformity with the permit prices of agricultural
peones; and, es the farmers and themselves required h,
ia-
ermes the progsgehe powers of the soil, it is necessary that
the Meant should have a right to all the utexhausted 'a-
Cr:7nts erected by has skill and capital established for
law, sad that a greet reduction in the amount
pumas, both kcal and national, is necessary to promote the
prosperity of the people."
He included lay thanking them for having listened so
patiently to him. It wee a delightfal contrast to the meeting
held the ether week in the Cora Exchange. (Loud cheers
and ontesion.) _
Mr. W. WITCHER seconded the amendment.
• show allude was thou tan for the amendment, when
e somaiderable number of hands in front of the platform'
was bud up in its favour ; when the contrary was pat, the
hands held up whet it were is • decided 'majority. The
high sheriff this • eland the amendment to be negatived.
The original emulation was toes put and carried amidst
the neon of the need.

Norton had talked • groat deal about she peapvity of the

an inereased nriff in the Called States, and quoted
an opinion of bir. Heakliesa, who stated that the bire.d the
people ate might always to be the growth of its own soli.
This was • wise and seasible erosion of a fne-trader.
(Cheers.) It had been said this wee • landlord's question,
bet he would put it to the freeman present whether that was
so or not (Orissa( " No, se ;"another cry, " you dust not
owa it") He coeseladod, amidst much eoufasion sad noise
in the issellog, by proposing—
" That by the abrogation of the duties on earn end cattle
the taint knans of the tolled Hiegdoes have been most
cruelly ironed and betrayed. It was on the faith of protec-
tion they invested their capital in the soil, and mikes praise-
d°, speedily be resiend, thousands of them mast inevitably
be reduced to • state of pauperism."
Mr. ILWOOD, a tenant-farmer, seconded the resolution.
He wee prepared to prove that the citizens of Lincoln were
ea mush intereated he the question as he wu. An immense
proportion of the money raised within ten miles of Lincoln
found its way, either directly or indirectly, into the town.
(Chong.) He thought it would not require much argument
to show that the less money raised in the neighbourhood of
Lincoln, the leas money would be spent in Lincoln. He was
not speaking to the tradesmen of the tows, he was speaking
to the mechanic and artisan, who he always regarded as the
main-stay of this country. They had been deluded by •
clap-trap cry of cheap bread. He quite agreed with them
that cheep bread and good ware were good things if they
could pet them, bat he told them that toe two things were
incompatible. If they bad cheep breed they must have
seam work. "No, no," and arise of " Hear.") Mr. Cob-
den wee at the Pesos Coagreas at Parie and there be was as
meek as • lamb; but at Leeds and Bradford he nand like a
lion, and threatened the farmers with nothing less than a
revolution. (A voice: I wish he war op beside riu.) So
did ho. (Al, yea would be frightened then.) Why, his
Mends and he looked a very timid set of men, didn't they—
a elan of men who were very likely to finch in the hour of
trial ? (Cheers.) But he would exhort the farmers to
unite, and they would gain their rights. Tee government
could not afford to ruin such a class of men as the farmers;
and if they did fall, they would not fall god, for they
would pule down with them every institution in the country
that was worth preserving. (Cheers.) He concluded by
seconding the motion.
Mr. SMITH, a tenant farmer, came forward to support the
resolution, and referred to the price of labour which existed
600 year, ago. (A shout of laughter among those in the
immediate front of the hustings, which excited in some mea-
sure the ire of the speaker, who shouted out, " You are afraid
to hear the truth," and was met by a counter cry from the
crowd of " You don't know it.") Order being restored, how-
ever, he went on to say that 600 years ago the wages of
labour were fourpenos a day, and in the seventeenth century
the wages were one shilling a-day—would the meeting like to
go back to either of these prices ? He denied that the pre-
sent prcaperity in the manufacturing districts &tole from the
cheapness of food—it wee nothing of the kind ;it arose from
the convulsions on the Continent, which prevented the ma-
nufactories there from being carried on, and induced a
demand from Ragland. (Hem.) With regard to rent, ha
considered that it was the duty if the landlords, as long as
the present deptemed stele of things continued, to lower
their rents, because they must have been benefited by the
low price of produce. (Cheers.) The tenants had put their
capital into the land of the landlords, and there was no just
legislative enactment to protest the tenants' property. If
such • law had been made it would undoubtedly have caused
a greatu increase of the capital invested in Vie ail ; more
produce would have been raced, and there would have been
less occasion fir fors ign corn. (Cheers.) They must native
her that for every 1,000 quarters of corn brought into the
gantry, 1,0001. of bullion must go out of it, while for every
1,000 quarters of cern grown extra in the country the notion
would be 1,0001. richer. He concluded by moving:
"This meeting bating taken into consideration it was
under a protective government that the present agricul-
turista of Great Britain and Ireland were induced to invest
their capital in the soil, look upon the admission of foreign
agricultural produce into this country free from duty as au
iniquitous and unjust measure. Ana Ludicg so meny of the
landed proprietors either indifferent or ranking themselves
on the aide of free trade, are determined t exert themselves
to the utmost in obtaining legislative protection to the cteti-
' vetion of British soil."

The HIGH SHERIFF asked Mr. Smith if he intended
this as an amendment on the resolution now before the
meeting ? Mr. Smith said he did not; he meant it as an
additional one. The High Sheriff then stated that it could
not be put till after the original resolution; on which, Mr.
Smith, turning to the meeting, naked those who would se-
cond his resolution to hold up their heads. A few boys in
front complied with his request; end Mr. Smith, apparently
satisfied with the result, retiree.
Mr. SEELEY. ex-numbir for the city, then came farina
to move an amendment to the second remlerion. He con-
gratulated them on the good temper of the meeting, and
still farther on the fact they had had three real tenant-far-
mers to speak of their wrongs and their distress. There
wen many points on which be could agree with them, and
in speaking upon this °union he weuld confine himself to
the county of Linoolc-. He concurred particularly in the
opinion that there ought to be a system of tenatinright.
Nothieg could be more abominaide than the state of the law
on this question. The law of distress was inch, that if a
tenant-farmer should become bankrup', if he owed his
landlord 5001., and had only 6001. of assets, the landlord
could sweep away the whole 5001., and not leave the farmer
a shilling to psy Die tradesmen, though it might happen that
the money owing to his tradesmen was fir buildings erected
on the farm, wh eh the landlord took possession of without
compensation, and probably would raise the rent to the next
incomer, on the ground that there wens such convenient
buildings on the farm. (Cheer, sod erica of " Shame.") There
wee a bill brought in to remedy this state of things last sea-
' sioc, and the only petition presented against it was presented
by Mr. Christopher; and the only parties who signed it were
the landlords on the platform. (Geoans.) He would now say
one word with regard to dis less. Ho knew the farmers
were suffering distress, but it was not arising from the pre-
sent year. They said prices were low. He knew they were
low • bat then he spoke advisedly when he said that the
produce of Lincolnshire was from four to five quarters an
acre. ("Oh, oh.") He spoke only of what he knew him-
' self. And they would remember that there was white
wheat, as well as red wheat ; and he cotid stets that
wheat always brought 48s. a quarter in the Lincoln
market. (" Oh, oh!" from the lumen.) [A gen•lenian
here asked U his books (Mr. Seeley is a corn l mum) would
prove it?] He affirmed on kis honour that they would; he
hod looked at them before he came to the meeting, and Le
affirmed deliberately: that in every week for semi time past
he had paid 465. a quarter for wheat in the Lincoln martet.
(" Ob, oh !") He &Sneed, therefore, that wheat in Lincoln.
shire had brought between 91. and 101. an acre. (Oh, oh).
Would thee* prices not saidy them (" No", and 'reticulate-
sion.) But then there was other agricultural distress. They
surely did not find fault yids the price of wool, or mast, or
potatoes, which were now double the pros of what hey
ought to be. He did therefore maintain that the tenants
were not suffering from the produce of this year.
He had no hesitation in saying that if the malt-ten
were repealed, the quantity of beer drank would be tenfold,
and a corresponding increue would take place in the colder
don of barley throughout the country. (Cheers.) By joining
' with the financial reformers they would be soh* to throw
this and the other burdens that now pressed upon them to
the ground. He should be sorry, indeed, if in the spring of
1861, when then was to be an exhibition of the mantra°.
Pares of all nations, the landlords should be employed in
voting for protection when a few yards from them, in all pro-
bability, there would be an is •ion as it were of the
principles of free-trade. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving:
That as the tenant farmers require immediate relief,
their intermits would be better promoted by an immediate
reduction of rent, and by government immediately abolishing
the malt duty, than by any address to the Queen or petition
to parlieinent for a renewal ct protective duties.
Mr. J. P. Winainseer seconded the amendment, which
was pato the meeting and negatived u before, and the
original resolution carried.
A Mr. Laannann, who was said to be from Loudon, then
attempted to address the meeting, but was received with such
a shoat of laughter and groans, that he shrunk back and
gave up the attempt.
Sir R. SIiEFFIRLD then came forward to move the
presentetion of an address to her Majesty, or petitions to
both hoes*, of parliament, founded on the fatiguing
resolutions.

Colonel BIBTHORP came forward to second the 'isola-
ting,. He said that during the two years he had had the
honour of representing this great city, he had many, very
many, opportunities of offering Itims4f to their considers' ion,
and he had been &rued that attention which, so a
citizen of Lincoln, as a freeholder in the county, and as be irl
honoured by the citizens with their cot.fidenoe, ha might
fairly claim at their hands, and he therefore hoped they
would give him a patient hearing. With reference to the
very large body of Letzten whom ha saw before him, he
could not say that he had any peculiar claims on their atten-
tion, except that he had the honour, in the British Route
of Commune, of being the first to propose that clause In the
Reform Bill—the 60k tenant-at-w II clause—which gave
the farmers a right to vote. (Hear, hear.) That be
beim, d to declare, and it could be eseettaised on inquiry—
even trom ne who differs I from him in politics, but whom
he net the less respected—that that was the truth which he
stated to them. (Cheers.) It was difficult at a larger public,

it was so jastly unified. But he was delighted to see that

not in the hands of the ministers, on whom he had not the
slightest dependence. it they got it, that it would ever
