ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING.—A public meet-
ing of th, electors, citizens of Glasgow, was held on Sa-
turday, in the Trades' Hall, a much larger room than
where the previous meeting was 1111, which was
crowded to excess. Alexander Johnstone, Esq., of
Shieldhall, occupied the Chair, surrounded by James
Oswald, Esq., M.P., John Diennistoun, Esq., 111. p.,
; and a host of our wealthiest merchants and rnanufac-
( turns. Tha first resolution was proposed and seconded
' by the two City Members of Parliament, and passed
without a dissenting voice. A leading Chartist, Mr.
I .T roes Moir, ex-M.C. for Glasgow, was sitting with an
ame idirient. in his hand ready to move, but he let the
opportunity sdp. After the next resolution had been
proposed by A. Grahame, Esq., there were several
speeches from Messrs. Purdic, Pattison, Lang, and
Moir,nearly the same parties who proposed the Chartist
amendments at the previous meeting ; but their lueubra-
\
tions were listened to with the utmost impatience.
Every speech nu the Anti-Corn.law side was greeted
with treniendous cheers, which completely drowned the
discordant uproar of the Chartists. Thus ended a meet-
ing highly satisfactory to the Reformers.
