THE COKN-LAWS AND THE
PRAIRIES OF THE UNITED STATES.
The prospects of agriculture in States North-west
of the Ohio are brilliant. The stranger who looks upon
the fertile prairies of Illinois and Indiana, and the
rich alluvial soil of Ohio, feels the iniquity of the Eng-
lish Corn-laws as strongly as in the alleys of Sheffield
and Manchester.
The inhuman perverseness of taxing food is there
evident in all its enormity. The world ought never
to hear of a want of food. No one of the inhabitants
of its civilized portions ought ever to be without the
means of obtaining his fill, while the mighty western
valleys smile in fertility.
If the aristocracy of England, for whom those laws
were made, and by whom they are sustained, could be.
transported to travel in open waggons the boundless
prairies and .the shores of the great rivers whichivou

EVENING EDITION.
MARYLEBONE ELECTION.
A meeting of the electors of the district of St. Ma's
was held yesterday, at the Bricklayer's Arms, New,.
Quebec-street, Bryanstone-square, Mr. Mills (cf Craw-
ford-street) in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN briefly explained that the object of the
meeting was to hear the Reform candidates, Sir Benjamin
Hall and Sir C. Napier, whom he introduced to the,
electors amidst tumultuous cheering.
Sir BENJAMIN HALL then came forward amidst re-
newed cheering, and said that he had already attended
eight or nine meetings recently, and one last evening in
the open air, at which there were not less than 2,500 per.
sons present, and in which a resolution in favour of himself
and his Gallant Friend was carried without a single
dissentient.--(Cheers.) The canvass hitherto had been so
successful as to leave .scarcely any doubt of success for
the cause of Reform.—(Loud cheers.) It was even re-
ported that their opponents had come to the" resolution
of withdrawing one of: their candidates.—(Cheers and
laughter.) He did not at all wish them to do so, as
nothing would please himself and his Gallant Friend.
more than to have a fair stand-up fight—(Chef
and they had no doubt that the Tories would quit the
field with a sound drubbing and no honours.—(Cheers,
laughter, and cries of "We will, we will.") The Son.
Baronet then referred, amidst the warmest applause, to
review his past political conduct, and having as: ured
the electors that he would adhere to the same course,
and maintain the same principles which had givcal his
constituents almost universal satisfaction, he concluded
amidst the most vehement and enthusiastic cheering.
Sir C. NAPIER, who was as usual received with an in-
describable burst of enthusiasm, then addressed the meet-
ing. As he had already addressed twenty-four' meetings
of the electors of Marylebone, he would not trouble the
present (which was the twenty-fifth) meeting with
many observations. Of this, however, he would assure
them there was not the slightest doubt of his being re-
turned with his Hon. Friend Sir B. Hall.—(Tremendous
cheering.) A lever had appeared in some of the papers
signed by a Mr. Dent, denying the accuracy of the state-
ment published by Mr. Watling, a most respectablia
tradesman, of Camden-town.—(Hear, hear.) Several
gentlemen of that district were ready to corroborate Mr.
Watling's statement, and Mr. Watling himself was
determined to give Mr. Dent the most public contra-
diction.—(Prolonged cheering.)
• Mr. COOKE moved, and
-Mr.-BorrEa seconded, a resolution pledging the elec-
tors present to support the Liberal candidates with all
their energies.
The resolution was carried unanimously, and, the meet-
ing separated, with three cheers for the Reform candi-
dates, the Queen, and the people.
