QAI TTI-CORN-LAW TEA PATTY.—The Committee of the
trl6 le Anti-Corn-law Association gave a soiree on Tuesday
I'. ening last, to meet the Ministers of this City and neighbour-
od who attended the Manchester Conference, and hear their
41' sport. Sir Wilfred Lawson, Bart., of Brayton-hall, was
lied to the Chair. He regretted the wretchedness of the
8e
entry, and the miseries of the poor were daily increasing.
•lieving the Corn-laws to be impolitic and unjust, he was
:et '.dy at all times to give his humble support in effecting their
Le eal. The Ministers having made their Report, which was
it favJurably received, the meeting separated.— Carlisle
rnal.

of 3,669 families subsisting upon an average on Is. bd. per
week each individual.—( Hear.) These distresses were the
effects of the Corn-laws--they were the effects of laws winch
kept labour from receiving its just reward, by cicsing foreign
markets against our productions, and prohibiting the surplus
grain of corn-growing countries from being imported, and so
relieving the distress which subsisted to such a degree.
Mr. PHILIP BROWN seconded the resolution, which was
unanimously carried. _ _

Some disturbance took place here, in consequence of the re-
leated interruptions of the renowned Captain Ackerley, who at
ength became such a nuisance as to be obliged to be served
with a forcible ejectment, after which the business of the meet-
ing proceeded smoothly.
Mr. BARKER rose to propose the next resolution, praying
that her Majesty will not consent to the prorogation of Par-
liament, &e. It would b: observed, that it was not to the
House of Commons, which had so often treated the people's pe-
titions with neglect, but to the Queen—to a woman and a
mother—who had never refused to listen to the wants and
the prayers of her people, that this momerial was to
be presented. He trusted she would rely upon her people for
support, and that if Peel could not attend to their distresses,
she could find others who would. Would it be credited that
this country would submit to the domination of a Cabinet whose
policy was to make food dear, and work scarce ? The markets
of the world would be open to us—the agricultural productions
of the world would be at our service—were it not for such keys
as the Duke of Buckingham and Sir Edward Knatchbull.—
(Loud cheers. ) _ _

Mr. JOHNSTONE seconded the motion, and the meeting ad-
journed.

HAMMERSMITH.

Wednesday evening a public meeting of the inhabitants of
Hammersmith and its vicinity was held at the Latymer School-
room, pursuant to a requisition to the churchwardens, nu-
merously and respectably signed, to discuss the merits of the
Corn-laws. A very large and respectable audience assembled.
Charles Brown, Esq., was called to the Chair.
Mr. LOFTUS moved the first resolution, to the effect—
" That the distress of the country was in a great measure to
be attributed to the Corn-laws, which raised the price of the
first necessaries of life for the benefit of particular interests."
Captain BRIGGS having seconded 'the motion, it was carried
unanimously.
Mr. Wm. BIRD moved the second resolution, " That in the
late Parliament, petitions, signed by upwards of a million and
a half of people, were presented to the House of Commons,
earnestly praying for inquiry into the effects and operations of
the Corn-laws, with a view to their alteration or repeal, which
petitions have not yet been attended to."
The re, olution was seconded by Mr. FOWELL, and carried
unanimously.
Mr. WALDEN moved the third resolution, and after an able
speech, concluded by moving that the meeting give the expres-
sion of its gratitude to her most Gracious Majesty for the royal
speech delivered by Commissioners to both Houses of Parlia-
ment on the opening of the present Session, in which these
words are used :—" Her Majesty is el nirous that you should
consider the laws which regulate the trade in corn. It will be
for you to determine whether those laws do not aggravate the
natural fluctuations of supply, whether they do not embarrass
trade, derange the currency, and, by their operation, diminish
the comforts and increase the privations of the great body of
the community."
Mr. CANDY seconded the resolution, and it was carried by
acclamation.

Mr. ELists moved the next resolution, " That we have
learned with deep regret, and deeper disappointment, the de-
claration made in the House of Common by the head of her
Majesty's present advisers, that the Government arc not pre-
pared to submit any plan for altering the Corn-law during the
prt sent Session of Parliament."
The motion was seconded, and agreed to unanimously.
A resolution, that it was vain to petition the House of Com-
mons for an inquiry into the effects of the Corn-laws, with a
view to their alteration or repeal, was then proposed and car-
ried unanimously.

A memorial was proposed and agreed to, and after its being
resolved to establish an Auxiliary Anti-Corn-law in Hammer-
smith, the meeting separated at a late hour.

YOUNG MEN'S ANTI-MONOPOLY
ASSOCIATION.

propriety of calling a general meeting of the Society to memo-
rialise the Queen was agreed to unanimously. The meeting
will be held at Finsbury Chapel on Monday next, when a
numerous attendance is anticipated.

A very large meeting of the Political Institute was held
yesterday evening ( Wednesday), at the Baptist Chapel, 148,
Holborn, to consider the urgent necessity of petitioning the
Queen not to prorogue Parliament until something should
be done to relieve the distresses of the country, and a petition
to that effect was framed, and reso'ved to be presented.
