THE CORN-LAWS.

A meeting of the working classes and non-electors,
convened by placard, was held in St. George's Fields, St..
George's-road, on Monday evening. last, " to receive the
report of the non-electors' committee (which was ap-
pointed at a meeting held just before the election), and
to resolve upon the best means to be adopted by the
working men of Manchester at the present important
crisis, for obtaining the total repeal of the man starva-
tion acts." About 1,000 persons were assembled. Mr.
John Kelly was called to the chair. He read the Report
of the committee, which congratulated the meeting on
tho successful termination of the contest in this borough
between the supporters of the bread-tax and the enemies
of that atrocious injustice. It then stated, that, as many
persons who voted for the anti-bread-tax candidates had
suffered through their conscientious exertions in the goon
cause, the committee trusted that the working classes
would show their sense of the meritorious conduct of their
friends amongst the electors, by supporting them by all
means in their power. The report then expressed a re-
gret at the general result of the elections, and recom-
mended union amongst the working and middle classes,
and energy in the cause,which would soon show theGovern-
meat that they could only hold office by doing justice to
the people. The Report also stated that a list of elec-
tors who voted for the anti-bread-tax candidates
would be printed and published. Mr. Finigan then
addressed the meeting on the miseries which the Corn-
laws inflict upon the working classes, and moved a reso-
lution to the effect, " That this meeting of the working
men of Manchester has seen with indignation the result
of the late general election, by which a majority has
been returned to Parliament in favour of the unchristian
monopoly of food. That so far from representing the
wants and wishes of the community, the majority of the
new House of Commons represents a greedy band of
monopolists, by whose corrupting and coercive arts they
have been elected for the purpose of plundering and op-
pressing the great body of the people. The resolution
then stated that, under these circumstances, and having
no present hope but in the firmness of a gracious and pa-
triotic Sovereign, the meeting agreed to an address to the
Queen. The address was also read. It expressed senti-
ments similar to those embodied in the resolution, awl
contained a respectful request to her Majesty to recommend
the repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws to the new Par-
liament, and to dissolve it forthwith, if it should refuse
compliance ; and further, to exercise her royal preroga-
tive, by dissolving every succeeding House of Commons
which shall refuse to do justice to the people, M-
M`Gowan seconded the resolution, which was •
by Mr. Acland,ll the Anti-Corn-law Ip

..,user, who drew

soon a change for the better in their condition,
nothing could avert an impending revolution. The re-
solution was passed with applause ; and, on the motion
of Mr. Daly' it was resolved that Earl Fitzwilliam and
the Earl of Radnor be respectfully requested to present
the address to the Queen ; and that the Chairman write
to their Lordships, begging that they will avail them-
selves of their privilege as Peers of the realm, and ex-
plain to her Majesty at a personal audience the griev-
ances under which the working. men are suffering, in
consequence of the corn and provision monopolies.—The
meeting separated about half-past nine o'clock.---Man-
