.ing pf the inhabitanw o Si. Mary't
e, wari -held last evo!ing, at Mr. Parting-
.rms, Great Quebec-street,- for the fur-
an Anti-Corn-law Association for that
,ic arge ruonT or the tavern waidenaely
31r. Potter was unanimously called to the

dis-

sHoe): Smith, Esq., on. entering the room, was re-
ceived with loud cheers.
The CI AIIIMAN said 'they were' pritty ►well aware of
the object. for which they . were assembled. It was to
-combine for the purpose of forwarding the movement now
going on to obtain a repeal of a law both obnoxious and
unjust.—(Hear, hear.) He meant the Cornlows.—
(Cheers.), He was confident that they would agree
with him in. opinion that it was only by Union, by
union assisted by kindness and good will, that they
could look for success.— (Cheers) •They had :ne,t for the
carrying out of a. very. great itteasure, and it' they acted
peaceab'y but firmly, their work would b.; successful.—
(Hear, bear.) Their opponents were indeed powerful,
bat he recollected nn instance in which the people of
England had firmly and unitedly expressed their opi-
nion, that it had not had its due influence. The aristc-
cracy must. be worked upon through their fears, and then,
as on former occasions, they Would sue innb,—(Hear.)
He had now the plcnaßre of introducing to their notice
Mr. Sidney Smith--(Loud cheers)—a gentleman who
had done much to as ist and enlighten the public) mind
on-this important question, and to do away with the mys-
tification in which it had been so long involved.
• Mr. SMITH then came forward amidst loud cheers
and, in the course of a powerful address, ably expatiated
on the-advantages which England would derive from ar
'free trade in corn. lie had that day met with an extract
from M'Culloch's Commercial Dictionary, of the deepest
iMportance,- and which could not be too often impressed
on the public mind. Holland was the only, country in
the world in which the rulers had the wisdom to kayo
the trade in corn entirely free, and what Lad been the;
result ? They should hear, in Mr. M'Culloch's welds.
—(He then read an extract from the work, to the effect
that in Holland, where there were no Coat-laws, aseercity
was unknown:) The only country whfch Was depend-
ent upon the whole world for its supplies was the only
one in which there had never been.a scarcity of corn.—
(Cheers.) And, not only had they never -had a scar-
city themselves, but they actually profited . by the
occurrence of a scarcity in other countries—(Renewed
rs)7,-•and that even to the extent of enriching them
thrtoif-`'ears were- tha-`adtan-
tages that had accrued to Holland, what would he the
gain -to England if we had a free trade in corn ? For
every port that Holland had, England could point to a
dozen. For every article of barter that the Dutch pos-
sessed, England could point to a hundred.' I'm- every
quarter of. corn that the Dutch could store up, England
had capital large enough to store up a thousand. There
was no advantage which the Dutch possessed
in which this country was not immeasurably 'supe-
rior and .the beneficial consequences which would
result if lye pursued the same line of enlight-
ened policy would be incalculable.—(Loud cheers.)
London would be the granary of Enoland. For every
one vessel of 'grain that now appeared in the Thames,
we should have ten, and• for every ton of shipping now
employed in that traffic, we should have a hundred.
(Cheers.) But .the blessings would not be confined to
the metropolis ; they would be extended,proughout the
kingdom, and England would quickly become the gra-
nary of the world.—(Cheers.) We should then have
corn seldom or ever above 30s. a quarter, whereas now,
when it was at that price, in the market of the world,
there was a tax on it of 555. Bd., or 180 per cent.—
(Hear, hear.) Mr. Smith concluded au energetic lecture
amidst great applause,
Mr. Kircntso rose to More the first resolution, and in
doing so he felt it unnecessary to enter into detail in
'consequence of :the able manner in which the subject had
already heen treated by the able Lecturer.—(Hear.) The
resolution was,." That the present Corn-laws aro oppres-
sive and unjust, and therefore ought to be wholly and
.forthwith repealed."

Mr. WALKER seconded the resolution. It was then
rut from the Chair, and carried unanimously.
Mr. FRAMPTON moved the next resolution. The
landed aristocracy, and those who opposed the repeal of
the Corn-laws, wero answerable for the misery which
was so prevalent in the country.—(llear.) lie was one
who thought that the poor man should have cheap
bread. - (hear.) As he was coming to the meeting
he called at a poor man's to leave a pair of shoes to
be mended. Ile went to that man because he had a
large family: On entering the kitchen, he found -three
of the young children crying, and on inquiring what was
the matter,, the mother said that they had had only one
slice of bread, and were crying and unwilling to go to
bid witliota another, which she had not to give. (Hear,
herr). Tie thought that the children would be able to
get an.)ther slice if the Corn-laws were repealed, and
thertlere he begged "to move the follor.ing resolution :
" That should the lando'sninl, aristocracy continue their
opposition to the repeal of the Corn-lam, .a measure,
both reasonable and just, this meeting earnestly recom-
mend to their fellow-countrymen to adopt every practi-
cal measure to obtain compensation from the estates of
the landowners in conjunction with the rePcal of the
law."

Air. AUSTIN seconded the resolution.
It was then put an 1 carried with only cent. dissentients.
• Mr. Come moved the next resolution, that an Aeo-
,
ciation be now formed for this district to-art iii conjunc-
tion with those already formed in other districts of this
parish, and also ith the Anti-Corn-law Associations
throughout the kingdom. lie felt convinced that the
inhabitants of that district would do their duty.—
(Cheers.) They had been late in the field, but that was
only a reason for acting with greater energy.—(Cheers.)
The time was come for every man to take this great
question to himself. Such a time, he was satisfied,
never was seen, and greater distress newer existed in
the country.—(Hear, hear.) There Were strong
indications that a scarcity of bread would be soon felt in
the country, as well as a scarcity of employment. He
had been told lately, by a friend of his engaged in tho
corn trade, that a vast quantity of corn was now .being
imported, on speculation, into this country, although the
duty was now so high as 16s. Bd, per quarter. They
might judge for themselves at what price corn must be
before they let it out of their hands again.-([fear.)Mr. CARR seconded the resolution. •

. •
Some opposition was attempted by a few Chartists, and
an amendment was moved to the effect, that to extend
the suffrage was the best way of obtaining. a repeal of
the Corn-laws. The original resolution was carried by
an immense majority.
A rote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman
for his able conduct in the Chair.
Several gentlemen ,then came forward and paid their
subscriptions, and 'entered their names as nientbirs of
the Association., , The meeting then broke up.

Although the subjoined list of favourites retches
more than three were in any serious demand, viz: The

• Palmerston's mare will be seen:below—she is friendless.
The Young-'un was backed repeatedly at 9 and.lo to 1,
leaving off second favourite at 8-,to 1 (layers). liCuri
Quatre began at 12 and:. finished at 10 to, 1, having
several 'backers at both quotations. Seine small sums
were laid out on others at odds, .which we doubt not,
would have been willingly betted again, particularly
in the case of IVardan, against whom 30, 1.2, and 15 to
i were laid—we have guessed his price at 16 to 1 without
pledging ourselves for its being. the actual one. The
Derby prices, stated underneath, agree almost in every
instance with those reportedfromNewmarket last week.
