CORN-LAWS.
Tilt— LORD" MAYOR has appointed
7.11- TT•ro.nnv, l r Ist of June, at Twelve for One o'elock
prerisfl), for a MEETING of the ELECTORS of the CITY
of LONDON, in GUILDHALL, to take into consideration
the propriety of.PETITIONING PARLIAMENT for an
ALTERATION in the present CORN-LAWS.

AT a WARD MUTING, held this day,
tl. before the Worshipful Sir JAMES DUKE, Knight,
•P., Alderman of the Ward, at the New Court, Old Bailey,
(in Pursuance of a requisition signed by 400 of the inhabit-
ants), "to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning
both Houses of Parliament to Repeal the Corn-laws, and to
support such a judicious alteration of the protective and dif-
ferential duties as affect articles of the first necessity, by
which the prices of food would be greatly reduced, trade
and employment considerably increased, and the industrious
and useful classes rendered prosperous and happy.'
Resolved (with fonr dissentients)—That it is the opinion of
this Ward Meeting that all monopolies of any of the necessary
articles of life are highly injurious to the people, while
they can operate only to the benefit of the few ; and that
when such monopolies are supported by law, they become
at limn national grievances, and demand the united exertions of
au Classes of the community to procure by every legal means
their repeal ; and that this meeting considers the present gradu-
!tted' scale of duties on foreign corn is productive of great
thittivy tO the manufacturing, commercial, and labouring popu-
lation of this country, not only by keeping up the price of
bread, and all the necessaries of life, but by largely curtailing
the foreign markets, and greatly diminishing in others the
Ilernand for British manufactures ; and that this meet •
lug feels it a great improvement to establish a small
gzed duty on all sorts of grain instead of the graduated
Ifale, and that the plan of commercial reform to lower the
Pities on corn, sugar, and timber, and ultimately to establish
free trade, will be a vast benefit to the industrious
. lasses, by greatly increasing the public revenue, and promot-
ing.in the trade and commerce of the empire ; and that this
eeting pledge themselves to use their constant and best
efforts to support and assist Government in their patriotic and laudable measures to destroy all monopolies by which trade,
commerce, and manufactures have hitherto been crippled, in-
jured, and embarrassed • and thus restore to the whole people
the means of living comfortably and happy.
lut enssolved (with four dissentients)—That the foregoing Reso-
, as embodied, form petitions to both Houses of Parlia-
,..ent, and that Lord Radnor be requested to
present that to the
'louse of Lords, and that Sir James Duke, the Alderman, do
Present the petition to the House of Commons ; and that the
City Members be respectfully requested to support its prayer.
ttßesolved (with one dissentient)—That in the event of the
ouse of Commons impeding the passing of "the usual annual
rSugar' Duties" when moved by the Chancellor of the Exche-
ri Her Majesty's Ministers be entreated to use every con-
situtional means in support of the vitally important financial
aseasures which they have announced.
Resolved unanimously—That the warm thanks of this Meet-
ing are due to the worthy Alderman of the Ward, and which

'"'ng now well known to the public, and the vendor being
aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out
the,, ward ,4 Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles."
Ihese which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than
those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate-
tial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority:
From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure,
M.D., F.R.S., &c., &c.
Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced
FY the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which
liquence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often
i'4l,,d embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical
jfiction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag-
-6Z ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in
Sue,' wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling
4,:a„"
to excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is
rto take file, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to
flan et that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with
Dthe above Dr. Urn's statements are further confirmed by Sir
initsrewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che-
ties, y• . The destructive effects of such a material for specta-
