his not having bribed any body when he con-
tested Carlisle.
Sir R. PEEL saw no reason whatever to Mame
the Committee, who could not act otherwise, and
he would not vote for the production of the
minutes. •

Mr. WAKLEY moved to have the minutes of
the proceedings of the Walsall Election Com-
mittee also laid before the House.

Lord J. RUSSELL, believing that the production
of the minutes was not intended to cast any re-
proach on the Committee, would not oppose the
motion.

In the end the proceedings of all the three
Committees were ordered to be laid before the
House.

The Report on the County Courts' Bill was
postponed till Monday.
The House then again went into Committee on
the Poor-law Amendment Bill, and were occu-
pied with that during the remainder of the even-
ing. The Committee reached as far as the 30th
clause, and the House resumed.
Mr. LABOUCHERE obtained the appointment of
a Committee to inquire into the laws affecting
joint stock partnership. The House adjourned
at a Quarter to One o'Clock.

We were yesterday expressing our surprise,
to a London tradesmen, that shopkeepers did
not take an active part in procuring t repeal of
the Corn-law ; and we attributed their negli-
gence to indifference or apathy. " They are not
indifferent," was the reply ; " they are well aware
of the evils of the Corn-law, but they are afraid
of losing their customers. They do not know,
by engaging in the repeal of the Corn-laws, that
they may not affront some of those who deal with
them, and rather than run that risk they stay at
home and acquiesce in what they think wrong."
We believe that is a tolerably correct and la-
mentable description of London tradesmen.
We instantly thought of Mr. CURTIS'S balance
sheet, and we concluded that the men who are
generally afraid of losing a customer must be,
However fair their outside, approximating to his
uneasy and insolvent condition.
Our acquaintance, in these few words, described
a sad state of mental degradation and slavery !
A. tradesman dare not bestir himself on a great
political question, lest he offend a customer. Has
the landlords' and priests' tyranny percolated
through all classes, and must no man act on his
Jwn opinions unless he have first obtained their
;auction ? The Chartists are above this mean-
less. If their opinions be erroneouq, they have
.he courage to express them. With all their tur-
bulence and errors, they are honest and manly.
['hey leave their bread-winnmg occupations, fear-
,ess of consequences, to give effect to their views.
['hey are noblemen, in our estimation, corn-
dared to the timid, apprehensive beings who
.vill not exert themselves to put down what
they acknowledge to be a grievous wrong.
The Corn-law involves, as several clergymen
and Dissenting ministers have proved, the prin-
iples of religion. For oppressors to tax the
bread of the poor, is denounced by Scripture.
fo lay a burden on one class for the benefit of
mother, strikes at the root of allegiance, by
making the law an instrument of oppression. It
deals unequally with the people, throwing
the heaviest burdens on the weakest shoulders.
['hough the law is the operating power, which is
supposed by some persons to create right and
wrong, it, in fact, commits a grievous theft. It
steals from the poor. The law is accordingly
denounced as a robbery. The continuance or
abolition of the law concerns, then, the principles
of morality as well as religion. The inhabitants
Jf the metropolis cannot answer to their GOD,
their country, and their offspring, for allowing
the Corn-law to continue.
We doubt whether they are fully alive to its
effects on their own welfare. They are afraid
the gentry would have less to spend if
the law were abolished. This is an idle fear.
What the gentry spend is not the_ gold
which changes hands a score of times in
t few days—nor bank-notes which, made at
pleasure, are only worth anything as the
representative of value—but the produce of land
and capital. Now there would not be a grain of
wheat less grown, or an ox the less fattened,
because the Corn-law was repealed, while there
would be a great increase in the production of
other wealth. The gentry then, if we include
under this term all the owners of capital, would
have more to spend, because more would be pro-

luced.
But if it were not so, the gentry are in a man-
ner bound to maintain a certain state. In many
lases their expenditure is determined by their
rank, almost as much as by their income, and they
would struggle to keep up the show and splen-
lour to which they have been accustomed.
Aoreover, the expense of living would approxi-
mate in England to the expense of living on the
Continent, and the shabby-genteels, who are now
lriven abroad, would return home for the sake of
2coitomy. That less would be spent, therefore,
even by the lauded gentry, because the Corn-
a.sv was repealed, seems an idle fear. Sooner
than part with their splendour, the gentry would
nortgage their estates, and though they might
lezgar their descendants, they are not likely, by
Frugality, to impoverish their tradesmen.
But if there oe nothing to be feared from the
:epeal of the Corn-law in the the agricultural , is
there nothing to be hoped from it throughout the
manufacturing districts? New works would every
.vhere be undertaken, new hands would be em-
ployed, and new enterprises begun. There
would be a great and an increasing demand for
engineers, architects, millwrights, founders, spin-
ners, turners, cutlers, and all the thousand
