To-day, at three o'clock, a public meeting of the Mem-
bers of the Anti-Co-n- Law Association, and of others
friendly to the objects of the Association, was held in the
Trades Hall, Glassford-street.
The meeting was numerously attended. The Hall, which

is capable of holding from eight to nine hundred, was

crowded by merchants and a tisans. The pla form was,
about a quarter past three o'clock, occepied by the Direc-
tors and other gentlemen who were to take part in the Pro-
ceedings—among wt.orn we observed James Dunlop. Esq.,
of Clyie, John Tennent, Esq., of St. Rollox, William
Dixon, Esq., of Govan Hill, John Mitchell, Esq , Chief
Magistrate of Gorbals, W. Buchanan, 14'..5q., Charles Todd,
Esq., James Lumsdcn, Esq., Wm. Gray, Esq., Arch.
Duncan, Esq., Alex. Graham, Esq , Wm. Craig, Esq.,
Robert Bartholomew, Esq., Samuel Higginbotham, • Esq.,
John Pattison, Esq., and Alex. Johnston, Esq., one of the
Delegates to London. Wm. Craig, Esq., as one of the
Vice-presidents, took the chair, and having stated the ob.
jectof the meeting, requested Mr. Alex. Johnston to read
the report of the Delegates to the Directors.
Mr. JOHNSTON said, Mr. Wcir and he bad drawn up a
report of their proceedings to be submitted to their consti-
tuents, which the Secretary. Mr. Murray, would real.
Mr. MURRAY then read the following
REPORT

To the Glasgow Anti-Corn-law Association cf the
Proceedings of the Delegates in London.
The Delegates met in Brown's Hotel, Palace yard, West-
minster, on the 4th of February, and adjourned on the 22d
of that month, till a meeting could be held in 111.nielicster,
on a day to be fixed by the Association in that town.
During the interval, the Delegates met for business
every lawful day. Their mode of proceeding was as fol-
lows :—Working Committees were organized, which met
at 11 A. m. and sat till 3r. Al. A general meeting of De-
legates was held at 3P. M at a hid) Members of Parlia-
ment end others friendly to the object of the Detegates
were invited to attend. At these meetings such Gmnit-
tees as had sat in the forenoon reported ; and occasion was
taken to meet any attacks upon the Delegates, and their
cause, from any quarter. Gentlemen, not Delegates, were
invited to give their counsel; but in business, and any mat-
ters requiring a vote, were not of course allowed to take a
part. By this arrangement the greatest possible scope was
given for individual activity, and the greatest possible unity
of action secured. At the same time publicity was ensured
for the proceedings of the Delegates, and the public inte-
rest in the cause they were seeking to promote kept alive.
The first step of the Delegates was to re-adopt the
Manctiester resolutions in favour of a total repeal of the
Corn-laws, and in favour of prosecuting this object by
applying for a hearing at the bar of the House of Com-
mons. Another resolution was added with a view to meet
the slanders of enemies declaratory of the readiness of
the Delegates to promote free trade in all branches of busi-
ness. In this spirit and for those ends did the Delegates
continue to labour.

The Evidence Committee, in conjunction with the Par-

liamentary agent, steadily laboured to procure evidence
with a view to prepare their case for the bar of the Huuse
—or for future use, should a hearing be denied. The
committee instituted a search of the journals with a view
to establish their right to be beard as a matter of con-
stitutional form. The committee prepared a petition free
from all technical objections which wns signed by the De-
legates, presented to the House of Commons, and adopted
as the basis of Mr. Villiers' motion.
The Correspondence Committee elicited an immense
number of expressions of sympathy with the Delegates,
and readiness to CO. opei ate with them from all districts of
the country._ even the Agricultural. Many petitions against
the Corn laws were thus obtained that might not other-
wise have been forwarded ; and much light was thrown
upon the oppressive and juggling proceedings of the sup-
porters of the Corn-laws in getting up petitions in the
agricultural districts.

-The Finance Committee or Committee of General Ma-
nagement met more rarely. The time had not arrived for
calling it fully into play.
In all their proceedings these Committees received the
sanction of the general body of Delegates. On all es-
senti4l points the most entire unanimity and harmony pre-
♦ailed.

On the rejection of Mr. Villiers' motion, it was deemed
expedient that the Delegates should adjourn for a short
time, in order to take the sense of the various bodies which
appointed them, regarding what step ought next to be
taken. It was the unanimous opinion of the Delegates
that from the sense of justice of a Legislature consti-
tuted like the present, nothing was to be hoped. It was
felt by all that the rejection of the prayer of their petition
was tantamount to a declaration of the Legislature that
it would not entertain the question of grievance if it
poSsibly could avoid it ; and that if forced to entertain

it, it v;ould only do so evasively without taking any pre-
vious steps to procure adequate information. At the same
time it was apparent that on the one hand many trim-
mers would palliate their voting against the request to be
heard on the ground that they did so on a point of form ;
while it was scarcely less certain that several had
sought to obtain an undeserved popularity by voting for
inquiry who would have shrunk from the test of repeal.
There was on this account much plausibility in the sug-
gestion that a more unequivocal test should be applied to
such characters, by bringing the substantive question of a
total repeal of the Curn•laws in a precise and tangible
form before the House. At the same time it was felt to be
the duty of the Delegates to receive the express sanction
of their constituents before they again appealed to a legis-
lature which had simultaneously refused even to hear them.
For these reasons the Delegates adjourned, in order to
take the sense of their cons!ituent bodies. A small com-
mittee of correspondence was left in London to act as a
centre of communication, and to analyse and digest the in-
formation contained in returns to the questions circulated.
Its functions, however, are purely ministerial.
It was resolved for various weighty reasons, that the
adjourned meeting of the Delegates should be held in
Manchester. To the Manchester Association was left the
formal duty of fixing the day and convening the meeting.
It was, however, generally understood that the Delegates
should be summoned to a private conference on Thursday
the 7th March, and to a public meeting on Friday the Bth.
In the meantime it is understood that 11Ir. Villiers is to
give notice on Tuesday the 26th inst. of a motion calculated
to bring on the discussion of the substantive question of a
repeal of the Corn-laws. The Hon. Member is willing
to time his motion so as to meet the convenience of the
Delegates.
. . _

In-this position the transactions of the Delegates are
placed at present. They are suspended, not terminated.
This is merely an interim report.
The question put to the Glasgow Anti-corn-law Asso-
ciation by their Delegates, relates to the course to be
pursued at the itdjourned meeting at Maachester
Is it the opinion of the Association, that the question of
a total repeal of the Corn-laws ought to be submitted to
a House notoriously incompetent, from ignorance and
prejudice, to come to a just decision on the question in a
substantive form?

If the Association is of opinion that it ought—and with
a view to place the character of the Legislature in a dis•
tinct point of view before the public, it seems highly de-
sirable it should—instructions to that effect should be
explicitly given to their Delegates upon whom it shall fall
to proceed to Manchester, and thence to London to abide
the di.cision of Parliament on Mr. Villiers' motion.
It sums at the same time desirable that the Association
shuld not lose a moment in setting on foot a missionary
system of agitation on the Corn-laws—especially in the
agricultural districts—such as has already been commenced
by the Associations of Manches:er, Leeds, and other places.
The Association might also materially assist the cause
by seeking to prevail urn places which have not yet sent
Delegates, to send them to Manchester. The Legislature
ought to be made to see that defeat, so far from dishear-
tening, but nerves the opponents of the Corn-laws to re-
d onbled exertions.

In regard to themselves personally, the Delegates from
Glasgow have only to say that no labour has been spared by
them to aid in the cause. The reports of the proceedings
of the Delegates in the public prints are sufficient to show
that both in the Committess and in the general meetings
they took their fair share of the toil.
Should their exertions meet with the approbation of their
follow-citizens they will be fully rewarded.
ALEX. JOHNSTON,
WILLIAM WEIR.
Mr. JAS. DUNLOP moved a vote of thanks to Messrs.
Johnston and Weir, and that the meeting approve the
report.

•Mr. CHAS. TODD seconded the motion.
Mr. ALEX. JOHNSTON then rose amidst applause and
spoke nearly as follows :—I lament, Gentlemen, as much as
any man can do, that we have not been more successful in
our attempts to get the House of Lords and the House
of Get-mons to hear evideece at their bars of the griev-
ances of the Corn laws.—( Hear, hear.) The fact is,
gentlemen, they are aware of the evils themselves, but
they don't want to be troubled wi.th. thit,se matters.--
(neat.; They don't wank to be convinced ; thev
know and aeknowliedge the extent of the monopoly ;
they arc aware of the high rents which tl.a monopoly
gives them, and they arc determined to sacrifice the into-
resfs of trade and commerce to their own interests.—
(Cheers
and a call cf " Down with these Houses.") We
were prepared to prove at the bars of the House of Lords
and the House of Commons that the manufactures of the
country were decreasing in a lamentable degree—that the
woollen manufactures of Leeds were met in the market
by Prussian manufactures; that the hardware of Sheffield
and Birmingham were successfully, oppcscd by the
Germans ; that the hoisery of Nottingham was made
and undersold by the Saxon manufacturers ; that
the statements made in the House of Commons
by Sir Robert Peel and others were wrong;
that in place of the declared value of cotton goods being
greater in 1838 it was less; that in 1838 it was two
millions less than in 1835 ; that the average of the ex-
portation in 1838 was a million leas than in 1835 and
1836.—( Loud and long continued cheering.) We
wese also prepared to prove that there is a rapid emi-
gration of capital and mechanical skill directed towards
the Continent. We were prepared to show that, in
1838, there was sent out. machinery for the purpose
of establishing manufa, tortes equal to one million ster-
ling in one year ; that ave arc only beginning to feel
the effects of this ; that in a few years, unless the policy
by which these laws are maintained is changed, we shall
be put out of trade and obliged to dismiss our workers,
and have universal oppression in this kingdom.—( Cheers,
and a call of " Universal Suffrage.") In all our
statements, I am called upon to state we have been

used in both Houses of Parliament was aptly set forth in
the language of the Duke of Richmond, who said they
would not grant the prayer of the petition for evidence,
because the intention of those who prepared that petition
was to obtain a repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Laughter. )
And another Noble Lord had spoken to a similar effe.ct,
and added that he was determined to put down. 'tnis agita-
.,!rut, a. once.—(Great laughter—anti. cheering.) Lord
Worsley said, "' made up his mind that the
repeal of the Corn-laws would be mast prejudicial to the
interests of the empire, and he thought that during the re•
peated discussion upon this question every Honourable
Member must have had ample opportunities of making up
his mind upon the subject.—( Hear.) He was a Member
for an agricultural constituency, and he was certain the
repeal of the Corn-laws would be most injurious to the agri-
cultural, and through them to the manufacturing" nterests."
—( Hear, hear.) Was the inconsistancy of this argument
not apparent to every one ? These Nob,e Lords did not
deny that they had come to a foregone conclusion them.
selves; but they found prodigious fault with those gen-
tlemen whom they merely suspected of entertaining the
opposite view.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. B then read the
motion with which he had been entrusted, and proceeded.
A Noble Lord had said that the manufacturing interest
were actuated by an inordinate grasping after gain.
Did this come well from the Lords? Look at the extent
of their rent-rolls—look at the great advan'ages derived
from their position, and from which the rest of the commu-
nity were excluded, and ask if they ought not to have
been the last to use such an argument as that ?—( Cheers. )
The resolution he had read stated that the rejections of
the petition for evidence would have a tendency to lessen
the confidence of the public in Parliament; but that was a
point so apparent that for him to dwell upon it Was altoge-
ther unnecessary, and he would, therefore, conclude by
moving the resolution.—( Long continued cheering.)
WILLIA M DIXON, Esq., seconded the motion.
A Me. CURRIE, one of the Charterists, a few of whom
were occupying a position in the centre of the room, hero
attempted to address the meeting, amidst some confusion,
