MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.
The Delegates from the different towns met this
morning at an early hour, to consider the course to be
adopted in the. future agitation of the Corn-law ques-
tion, and from thence adjourned to the Corn-Exchange,
Hanging Dika, where a vast assemblage of the inhabi-
tant's of the great manufacturing towns awaited their
arrival, anxious to be made acquainted with the determi-
nation to which they had come as to the further pro-
ceedings on this all absorbing question. Shortly after two
o'clock Mr. J. B. Smith, the President of the Anti-
corn-law League, accompanied by upwards of 100 de-
legates from the various manufacturing towns and dis-
tricts in the kingdom, entered the:Exchange, which was
at this moment crammed to suffocation. They were
most enthusiastically received ; and after silence had
been restored,
Mr. J. B. SMITH, the Chairman, proceeded to ad-
dress the meeting. He said—Gentlemen, this is a meet-
ing of the Deputies fromthe different Anti-Corn-law
Associations and towns of. the .kingdom, who are as-
sembled here, and are composed of the Gentlemen you
see behind me.—(Hear, hear.) There is a very nume-
rous list of them from all parts of.-the kingdom, and
thci are met here te-day to determine upon their future
course to obtain the total and immediate repeal of the
Corh-laws.—(Cheers.) I am happy to see amongst
these Gentlemen many whom we had the pleasure of
seeing here last year, and I am also happy to see a great
number of others who are at present strangers to me,
but I hope they will not be so in future. .The Report
of the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League to the de-
puties of the various associations and distriats assembled
in Manchester this day will now be read to you.
The Secretary then read the following report :
", In pursuance of the resolutions of the Delegates as-
sembled in London in March last, to persevere in the
• endeavour to procure a total and immediate repeal of the
Corn and Provision laws. The Counsel appointed by.
them tp carry theyesolutions into effect, immediately pro-
ceeded to act upon their instructions.
'eThey have prinlcd and circulated, throu&bout Great
Britain, 160,000 copies of various pamphlets In 'favour of
repeal, which have been pla6ed• in the bantis-bf probably'
not:fewer than one millidn of readers.'
" The circular has been found an admirable means of
communication with the fribnds bf free trade throughout the
empire, -and to furnish brief. facts and arguments to-other
periodicals. Ats,influence is,.perhap3, best to be-measured
by the marked consideration in which it 'is held by the•
whole, but particularly by the 'free trade press. Quo-
tations from it appear in nearly two hundred newspapers
weekly, and it is regularly noticed and quoted by the lead-
ing London journals. Every day the number of articles
on the Corn-laws in the periodical press increases. News-
papers in our interest have` been 'lately started,. and many
which formerly wavered or were silent, now spcitk boldly
in !our favour.
" Four hundred lectures. hays been delivered by tlkelec-
' turers engaged by the League in the principal towns in
England and Scotland, in the agricultural, districts, and
such places .as were Irkely to influence, the 'condUat or ye-,
turn of Members of Parliament. 'Six'hundred thousand
personave: been thus addressed,' besides probably not
fewer than 200,600 more by Mr. Greig, of Leeds, Mr.
Chadwick, of Arksey, Wood, of Campsall-hali, Mr.
Levison, of Doncaster, Mr..Plint, of Leeds, Messrs.
Gaskell, and SymniOns,:of Cheltenliam,-Dr. 4ps. of Lon-.
,don, and various Members of the Manchester Operative-
Anti-Corn-law Association.-
.‘ In not one instance have their lecturers been defeated
in :discussion, or unsuccessful. in carrying the public with
them. -From the peasantry and operatives they meet with
Strenuous support, and in discussions where particular par-
sons have opposed their views, they have been loft in a
minority at lecture meetings even by their own body.
.".rhe expenses incurred in so extensive a course of agi-
tation have necessarily been very great. The Secretary
heie read a statement of the receipt and expenses, and
staked in addition that the following subscriptions had been
received :—From Preston 60/., Bradford; MR., -Saddle-
worth 5/., Lees 51., Ashton and Dukenfield.lol., Burnley
94., Derby. 50/., Leek Si., Darlaston 51., Clickbnrton 5/.,
Wakefield 25/., Strabraer Si., Forfar 121., Glasgow 500/.,
Mi. Lawrence Heyworth 251., Mr. Joseph Sturge
(I..ioud cheers.) •
The Council have to congratulate their constituents
uplm the very favourable position in which the cause
ii-hee; placed by the operations above deiailed*.

district, having the Riier South Esk winning through a consi-
derable part of the Property, and is intersected by •the Ttirn-

fence' are stiitablC to the Firm, and in good repair. About 1,006 Acres are under under thriving plantations, of different
ages and of great value. There is no Mansion-house, but
there are bdautiful situations for forming a' Prtlprieter's Resi-

Castle of Finhaven, the ancient Residence of the Crawford
family, on the banks of the South Esk, is admirably adapted
for that purpose.

This day is published, price Is.
; ONETARY CURRENCY.; or, the OPE-
- RATION of MONEY SHOWN to be a PERFECT

The change in the public mind generally has been
most striking ; many of the wealthy and extensive mer-
chants and manufacturers. who, six months ago, were in
a state of antagonism, arc now strenuous.advocateS of
repeal, and the altered tone of ConservatiVe candidalei
for Parliament is not less encouragiag. A great acces-
sion of strength to our cause in the Government has
been made since the dissolution of Parliament ; but the
most favourable point in the aspect of our affairs is that
there is a'atrong disposition • manifesting itself on the
part of religious bodies, and of the philanthropic
world to espouse this cause in preference to
all other public questions,—( Hear, hear, hear.)
Whilst they gratefully acknowledge the aseistance they
have received from so many sources, the CoUncil cannot
refrain from reporting to the deputies that they have
been drawn irresistibly by the 'experience of the last
year to the conviction that they are mainly indebted to
the justice of their cause for the progress that has beau
made, and theY cannot too earnestly recommend to the
deputies to adhere to the fullest extent to the principle
upon which this league is based, viz.; the total and im-
mediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws. The
treasury is empty—the. League is in debt to a considera-
ble amount. A concurrence ofcircumstances favourable
to agitation now exists, which may never happen again.
A pound spent now is of more efficacy than five at an
after period. If the. public wish to command success
they will contribute largely and generally. All that is
wanted to attain success is zeal,firreness, and liberality
on the part of their friends.--(Much cheering.)
.The CHAIRMAN then read a list of the towns from
which delegates had been sent. After which,
'll,lr. LAWRENCE HEYWORTH, of Liverpool, rose to
move the following resolution :
" That the Report of the Council of the League, now
read, be received and approved; and that the statement of
acCounts now,read be, adopted and passed."
I am exceedingly rejoiced .(said he) to see so many of
my brother operatives here on this great and vital eel'.
casion. I rejoice to see that they take heart and in-
terest in the mighty moral reformation which we hope
by our efforts on this occasion to obtain.—( Hear, hear.)
I Would not have stood before you on this occasion to
advance any interest that had merely a selfish charac-
ter—l would not have stood before you to advocate
any principle which was not of a general bearing, in-
fluencing to a.considerahle extent, nay, to every extent,
the happiness.of the whole family of man. I rejoice that
I am put forward on this occasion to be the mover of
the adoption of a resolution which has for its object the
amelioration of the condition of every class of society,
and I am not afraid 'to say, nor do I hesitate to aver,
that the object which we have in view will ameliorate
the condition of every class, from the highest to the
lowest, amongst us. 1 will tell you why, and on what
principle I have come to this decided conviction.
The object we have in view is
.to obtain free trade, espe-
cially in corn, as founded upon the never-dying prin-
ciple, that man is dependent on his brother man.—
(Cheers.) That is a mutual dependence which binds
man to man, and makes him love his fellow-man as his
brother.—(Cheers.) This, Gentlemen, is the founda-
tion on which.' stand, and nothing on earth shall re-
move me.—(Cheers.) Taking this principle as my
stand, I will state to you the principle on
which these obnoxious laws proceed. They are
selfish in their character, and they aim at
robbing and plundering one portion of the 'community,
while they profit to enrich the other.—(Cheers.) In
the year 1808. I set out on my commercial career. I
went to establish a house of business at Rio Janeiro.
We found that country rich in metallic currency, and
prolific in the articles of life, such as sugar and other
commodities, yet what did we-do when we got .there ?
We did not take from that country its produce, but
we removed its specie ; and, in the . course of
'seven years, we drained the country of all its specie,
and thus we brought poverty on the country we went
to enrich, and our restrictive laws and commerce para-
lyzed the labours of the people there. What was the
state of this country in consequence of the Corn-laws ?
Why; one year God sent a productive harvest, and then
the farmer was doing well, he had plenty to spend in
paying high rents and clothing his, family ; but when h
bad harvest qameho,then spent his whole money in buy-
ing food to feed his ehildieti.--(Cheers.) That was
the effect of the Corn-laws. During the fast few yeurs
there had been a sterile harvest, there was a scarcity of
Clod, the farmers were becoming bankrupts, they could
not
.pleirgh their land as they used, and the' poor man,.
had nothing to-spend upon clothing, all being required
to satisfy the stomach.—(Cheers.) The consequence,
Was, that there was a saperabundance of cloth and
manufactures; the mills were stopped, wages were
'reduced, and this, it was to be remembered, at a time
iwhe'd provisions were excessively dear. He hoped he
made hiniseif clearly understood by the operative
classes who were now assembled. in such numbers.
It
'was of the utmost importance that they should clearly
and 'fully understand the subject., The time was ra-
pidly approaching when they must 'be the legislators.—
(Loud cheers.) They must he prepared for that event,
r and they must be no longer ignorant of, the first prin-

versal .demand. fig ~the,;epe4ll of these leers to: secure
th'eir object. He stated. that, not as matter of theory
or deduction, but because some tenyears ago be had

formed one of a deputation from :Liverpool to

ing the duty upon e foreign coffee and ,sugar,
which was at the there much .higher than the duty
impoied upon West. India produce. , Thee deptitatioa
had a conference with. Earl Grey, and in Abe course of
their observations they had pointed out the great ad.
vantage that would result to the nation at large from
the admission. of the principles of free erade.. What was
the reply of Earl Grey?—".No doubt free trade is ab-
solutely necessary to promote the happiness of mankind,
hut where is the voice of the people P--(Tremendous
cheering.) So that no answer could be given by the
deputation, for they had not the voice of 'the people
with, them at the time. . He trusted the`agitation of the
qpestion would extend from the Land's-e-ad to John
oGroat's. And how, he would ask, was that to be ac-
comnlished ? - By every one of the' great mass" of mind
which he saw, around him joining in. taking the weight
and burden of the aeconaplishreent of that task on their
own shoulders.-.---(Cheers.) By preaching it, and in-
culcatieg it upon the minds of their wives and children,
and neighbours, so that no man.- should be ignorant of
the benefits of free and unrestricted trade.—(Loud
cheers.) That principle was consistent . with the
best sympathies of their neighbours, and was in
accoidence with the eternal laws of God,
whicili were founded.on mutual dependence.—(Cheers.)
It had 'been asked vehat.had the Merchant to do With
the 14wa of God or with religion ? But they had the
word .of God, for. it, that the merchants conrcrrcd
blessings and .benefits upon the land by supplying food
to the hungry, and clothing to the naked. Mr. Hey-
worth then referred to .the. first nation of merchants=

and opinions, and scarcely one-intelligent commercial
man could be now found there who was abselutely dp-
posed to a 'review of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) 'There
was scarcely, a man who was. nit prepared 'to take up
the question with a view to its being fully and impar-
tially 'considered. The conduct' of the great mer-
cantile body of the town of Manchester was very
different from that of the Chamhei'of -CO:merle-fee, -
of, Glasgow, which had put forward -a' resolution same
time ago to the effect that the subject should not he
taken up. unless in connection' with other 'matter's, the
result of which was entirely to cnshiori it. -He wished,
however; to have it publicly Understood that the rtsolu-
tionin .4ae-stion was not that of the 'inerenntile body of
Glasgow, but of thirty Directors, to whom the manage-
ment of its affairs Was is some measure en:•luited. He

ing Government for a speedy consideration of those
laws ; and, above all, a petition was noer being signed
which lie would venture to say would receive die signa-
tures of two-thirds . of-the population.-(Hear, bear.).
He had much pleasure in seconding the motion.
the motion was then put from the Chair, and carried un-
animously.
ALEXANDER JOHNSTON, Esq., of Glasgow, rose to
move the next resolution. He begged to congratulate
the men of Manchester, in the name of the people of
the North, on the great and mighty movement which had
been commenced to get rid of laws which, if continued,
he believed; would not only demolish the manufactures
and commerce of the country, but would spread misery
and desolation through the whole working population of
this country.—( Hear, hear.) The change that had
taken place in the North had opened the minds of the
Town-Council of . Glasgow, and they had come to the
unanimous resolution that those laws should be altered
for the benefit of the working classes. That was some-
thing, and he hoped it would in time havo its effect.—
(Hear, hear.) He was glad to see so. many of the
working population of Manchester present. When he
left Glasgow there were about thirteen or fourteen of
the public works .shot up, and on Saturday night, un-
less a very great change took place, he was afraid that
no less than thirty establishments would be closed,
throwing out of employment upwards Qf 30,000 work
people. Such was the effect of the Corn-laws.—(Hear,
hear.) • It was very clear that unless the manufacturers
of this country' were able to export as cheap as those
on the . Continent they would have nothing tofall back
upon but the wages of the operatives thraughout, the
country. Was it not better therefore that the opera-
tives should have employment with cheap bread
than no employment at all with dear bread.—(Long
continued cheering.) 'They had been .taunted by the
agricultural interest on the ground that the manufacturers
wanted to take from the agriculturists their protection,
and to retain .their own. They denied it.—(Hear, hear.)
They were willing to give up all protection ; but were
the operatives protected now ? They were not, and
the master manufacturers were ready now to. join with
the operatives. in repudiating all protection. They
wished for justice to all, and the resolution which he
would beg to move- was.:---:. . . .
That this meeting of . Deputies reiterate the declara-
tion made'by the Anti-Corn-law Delegates in London last
spring, that they ask for no exclusive protection to their
particular interests, and they insist that none shall be given
to any other class of the community."
Mr. BENSON, an operative delegate from Sheffield,
seconded the resolution. 'He felt considerable embar-
rassment in addressing a meeting like the present. He
had thought about the Corn-laws for many years. He
considered them highly injurious to him as a working
man, and to the whole of the working population of this
country._ The Corn-laws operated on our commerce
in such a manner that we had often been thrown into
difficulty with the foreign markets. Our merchants had
not-,been ullowpd to receive from other countries their
surplus produce in exchange for our surplus produce,
consequently.the merchants of other countries not being
piovided with means to tiny for . our manufactures iu
gold and silver, had been compelled to pay them for
their goods with a paper, currency, which was not of
real and sterling value.—(Hear.) One of the most
pcivverful arguments used by the agriculturists was, that
if the Corn-laws were repealed the independence of the
nation would be destroyed, and that it would be thrown
upon foreign countries for a supply of corn. That was
a trick played off on the country, for it must be well
known that they had as much right to receive corn frOm

iron from Russia, Sweden, and• Denmark. It was true
this country did produce iron, but it was not that sort
of iron which could be Used for the manufactura of a
great part of the Sheffield goods.:.--4 Hear, heir.) The
iron of this country would 'not "make steel for knives '
equal to that which could be Manufactured frem the
iron •of foreign countries.. Therefore we ' could not
by any means do without foreign iron.—(Cheers.) We
also received tea, sugar, and other articles from foreign
countries, which we could not do without ; and he would

any alteration whatever.--=-(Great cheering.)' These

On a reference to papers laid before Parliament, it
will be found that the duties which have been paid en
foreign wheat since 1827, average about cis. per quarter.
That this rate would be much too law for a fixed duty is
generally admitted, and it has always beer, a prevailing
' opinion with those best acquainted a ith the subject, that
no-fixed duty can be named, which would not in ordinary
times be too low, and in years of scarcity too high; in the
latter case, the duty would probably be repealed altogether.
" In &der to satisfy the present call for an alteration in
the Corn-laws, and at the Same time afford a moderate
protection to the lafiled interest, it is assumed that no
effectual and biting advantage' can be attained if not
based- on a modification of the present system."
There is, however, an important fact stated in this
letter, that since the year 1827, that is for twelve
yeari, , the duty paid Upon foreign wheat has rot
;averaged more than Gs. per quarter. Baring the
last eighteen months upwards of four millions sof-
quarters of foreign wheat have been introduced
for home consumption at less than 4s. per quarter, and
from the deficiency of land planted, with which tke
badness of last harvest, the wet autumn, and other
causes, including the rapid increase of,population, it is
very probable that at least for the next year or two we
shall have large quantities of wheat introduced into this
country under the present law at only 'ls. per quarter
duty, unless the people are driven by distress to substi-
tute some cheaper kind of food for bread.—(Cheers.)
We have therefore now a proposition to meet the de-
mandlor an alteration in the Corn laws • by a scale of
duties varying from 20s. to 7s. 6d. per quarter, And
never to be less 'than the latter sum. You must not,
however, yield any part of your demandee-(Cheers)—if
veil do, you will find it very difficult to get any future
alteration. Perhaps you will ask, if I think this de-
mand will be granted?—(Cheers.) I will not pretend
to solve this question, but I believe, if we are defeated,
our minority will include not only the moral power of
the House of Commons, but a greater force, even in
numbers, than many suppose—(Groat cheering)—and I
hope the names of both parties will he published in
different colours, and not only widely circulated through
the empire, but be transmitted to posterity, as a
record to after-ages of those who supported and
opposed laws, in the nineteenth century', which
when they are swept away, as I am 'persuaded that be-
fore long they must be, will he justly designated as
barbarous.-,-(Great cheering.) lam one of • those who
am extremely reluctant to take an active part in what
are called political questions, and as long-as-I satv a
reasonable hope of obtaining justice for'the people, I
should have been very slow to advocate any organic
Change in our present very defective representation ;
but I confess, from watching the prOceedings of Parlia-
ment for the last year or, two, my hopes of this have
nearly vanished, and I quite agree with our Sheffield
friend, that if a majority of the House cf 6,lommons
again refuse our demand on this question, it will unite
the wise and good of ali classes in seeking a fair 'repre-
sentation of the people—( Cheers)—under the convic-
tion that, as the present House of Commons does not
represent the
.people of England, so they have' not a
proper sympathy for their sufferings—(Great cheering)
--and therefore have justly lost •the confidence of the .
people of the country.—(Contlbued cheering.) lt was
reported last .year that the Prime Minister of an
Administration professing 'themselves Liberal, and who
owed their office to the popular voice; denouniod as
madmen, amidst the cheers of the House of Peers,
many of my friends around me—(Great cheering)—
because they ventured to ask' in behalf of the. people
of England, the total aad immediate abolition of laws I
which are consigning thousands and tens of thousands i

of our artizans and n anufacturers, as well as our agri-
cultural labourers, to want and wretchedness.—(Cheers.)
I hope this was a mistake, but I mention it thus pub-
licly, that, if so it may .be publicly cOntradicted.—
(Ch'eers.)— Whether it be a mistake or not I trust Lord
Melbourne will learn th.it we speak the word:. of truth
