(Cheers and laughter.) In the parish in which he in Hemp.
shire, he had been told by a farmer that 40 years his father
gave 2f. a year less for the farm than he now peed kg . (Hear,
hear, hear.) The landholders were convening- in every
town in England, for the purpose of maintaining of corn.
In some of those meetings they were defeated, as was well known
to the Livery ; but the consequnce was, that they now met in pri.
rate ; and the House of Commons, at itaopeoing, would be over.
whehed with petitions, which, until then, would not be even heard
of; so that it was absolutely necessary that the whole country
should come forward and sanction, not the Ministry, but the liberal
portion of the Ministry, in effecting the alterations prayed for. He
gave Mr. Canning, and Mr. Huainton, and Mr. Robinson, full
credit for what they had done ; and, more than that, he gave them
credit for what they attempted to do; sad although they had sent
him to gaol, he was the man, if their measures were such as were
called for by the exigencies of the State, to stand by them to the
last. (Great cheering.) They had had diffletilt times recently to
contend with. The people were in a state of 'alloOlute starvation in
Lancashire, such as was never known in any quitter of she world,
except in misgoverned and unhappy teflon& The people were in
fact driven to desperation, and he knew not what might be the con-
reettence if some of those who were now no more were still at the 1
head of the Adminiqrstion.. It was impossible to say what might
have been the result if Castlereagh had still been in office; but most
probably the country would have bred deluged in blood. There
was • portion to the same spirit still leafing an the Ministry, and it
therefore behoved the people to strengthen the haudaof that portion
of them who were liberally disposed. He had been condemned for
speaking of the dead; but when he spoke of Mr. Pitt upon a
former occasion in that Hall, he spoke, not of the man, but of his
deeds ; and if he were ta be prohibited speaking thu . ache dead,
how was Lord Chatham to be spoken of in ternl3 of admiration ?
lie would, however, repeat that it was the cursed Pitt sister:l which
• had demoralised the country. Castlereagh wee the bastard fol.
lower-up of that system, and he (Mr. Hunt) might fairly assert of
him that the only act of justice which he had ever rendered
to his country was the last act of hi! life. (Cheers.) This

tare, the country would not be materially benefited. Upon this
point there could be no opposition of interest between the agreul-
torist and the other breathes of the community ; anti upon this, at
least, he anticipated perfect unanimity, In conclusion, lie repeated

Alderman WAITIIMAN next presented himself, and was
received with marked applause. He said he need not tell the Meet-
ing with what pride and satisfaction he agreed to the resolutions he
had heard this day. In the year 1015, he had taken an active part
in opposition to the laws which were now complained of, and bad
drawn up a series of eesolutions, which in the course of a few days
received 60,000 signatures, and which were the same in substance
.s those submitted to the Meeting. He felt much satisfaction in
thus publicly stating that he concurred in general in the observe-
dons which had fallen that day; and he congratulated the Livery,
not on the unanimity which prevailed, for that was to be expected,
but on the firmness and temper which was exhibited, and on the
fact that the speakers were not led into matter of an extraneous
Character. A petition coming under such circumstances mule come
with peculiar weight. It had never been hie principle that a repre-
sentative was not the representative of the particular city or county
which sent him to Parliament only, but of the whole kingdom,
and that he should not look to Ineal interests, but to the interests of
Ihe annoy. He would look upon it as dishonoutable if that Meet-
ing nought the promotion of ha own interests to the injury of the
lumens of others. He ponerived that the measure they rccom.
mended to Parliament would be as great an advantage to the agri-
culturalist as to those he was addressing. He did not look so much
to their immediate interest as to their permanent interest. The
body politic was like the natural body. Man could not be in sound
health prams there was a regular circulation, and that the blood
_flowed through all the parts. although some of the vessels were
more capacious than others. It was the same in the body politic:
there must be a general circulation, or that body could not be in a
healthy state. Now, lie asked, how oould high rents be supported
when every thingelse was depreciated ? In 1013 there was what was
called a great revulsion. a revulsion from war to peace, which produced
distress, that it wu maid was temporary, and would shortly pass away.
More than ten years had since passed, and still there was a revul.
sion. and a combination of evils arising from a corrupt system ban?,
pursued. and supported by laws raising the price of provisions.
Now, what was this but to drive the skill and intluvry of the
country elsewhere? It was also to drive away the customers; foe
it should he recollected that raising the prices of provision was
driving out of die country ninny persons who were receiving the
produce of our industry, and spending the amount which they re-
ceived by our taxation in foreign countries. Of late years it had
become nothing uncommon for parents to send their children to
foreign countries to have them educated. The result of al! this
must be, that the manufacturers will follow their customers to
foreign countries, to the destruction of our trade at borne. In fact,
all the interests of die community were so blended, that it was im-
possible to uphold one for any time to thy injury of the others. The
distress which bad arisen from the present system was inealen.
laid.. Thousands of Individuals, capable of labouring. were Imp-
parted by public charity, and it was not the unemployed alone who
.sotheed, as the Gazette testified. Within the last year above
3.011, Weed through the Gazette, besides a much larger number who
hadikesdopeivate maim/mites with their creditors. Not only the
Ca. Laws but the whole eyetent, must, be changed. It was a
'piens if Profligacy_ and corruption which had been carried on for
nearly 30 years. He asked, was it not proper that those who pro.
/tad by the war should participate in the loss which the comma.
Idly sustained by it? The great leading measures which were now
called for were, a repeal of the Com Laws and a diminution of
taxation. If Ministers firmly stood up to effect those objects, they
would find themselves supported by the people at large. It mat-
tered not to the people who brought forward a measure; if it was
salutary, they ahould give it their support (hear), and if Ministers
were contrincNl of the necessity-of carrying the measures now re-
commanded, he was of opinion that the House of Commons would
very shortly enter into their views.
Mr. Alderman Taoatrsow said he merely came forward to
declare his rein:lidera to co-operate in that great and important
martin, the repeal of the Corn Laws. (Applause.) The senti-
ments of the meeting were in unison with his own. He conceived
that those laws operated unjustly on the manufacturing and corn.
