LADY BLESSINGTON'S "IDLER IN FRANCE."
—The career of a woman of fashion is, for the first time, ado--
(purely presented to us in the =e attractive volumes, who ern
Lady itlessingtoo has, in that lively and graceful style so fami-
liar to the reader by her cla-ming " Idler in Italy," exhibited
under What brilliant auspices she eotered the most exalted
circles in Paris, the head-quarters of fashion. But, although
her journal affords a most alluring picture of fashionable life,
it is delightfully varied with descriptions of other Parisian
scenes that can scarcely be considered less attractive. In one
place the Countess is represented as moving in the courtly
circles of the most courtly society in the world—in another
bargaining for antique bijouterie in the curiosity shops of the
Quai Voltaire—here trOng un the most fas:inating of bonnets,
produced by the unrivalled Herbault—th.,re the
performance of Mars in Haney lll.—enjoyin4 a diner de
restaurant at the Rocher de Caucale— introducing to the
reader all the celebrated characters then in the French capital
—observing a re% iew in the Champ de Mars, or the company
in the Bois de Boulogne—inspecting the gallery of the Louvre,
or the Jardin des Piantes—rambling in search of a ho ise in
the de4rable quarter of Paris or playing the heroine timing
the " glorious three days," which occurred during her stay—
or in a hundred other various tasks, all productive of equal en'.
tertainment to her readers. A more delightful bo,l it is
scarcely possible to imagire.
E TRUSTEE.—By the author of the tragedy
of " The Provost of Bruges."—This clever novel promises to
be quite the rake. It meets with universal commendation
from all clasies of critics. The following is from the Naval
and Military Gazette:—" The Trustee belongs to the natu-
ral class of writing—its eharacters being drawn, it not from
the life, at least so exactly to it that they produce all the effect
of individual portraits. It is full to overflowing of that perpe-
tual stream of action and incident without which now-a-days,
neither novel nor drama can hope to maintain any hold on
public favour. And its incidents are so combined and con-
cocted into a consecutive and coherent plot, that the interest
excited by them never flags. Finally, we have ene character
in this novel, which, even if the work contained nothing else,
would afford a fund of entertainment, and convey a very high
impression of the author's powers, both in the conception and
the delineation of humorous life. Vire have had, beside Box,
nothing equal to Scampering Jack for many a year. In short
this extremely clever and interesting novel cannot fail to be
unusually popular now, and to rank among the standard pro-
duct ions of its class hereafter."

THE PROGRESS OF DEMORA LIZA TION.—

Maryland has been robbed of nearly $200,000, in speck
and bills. The Directors r $lO,OOO for the appre-
hension of the robbers. This is one of the mos curious
affairs. We are very much inclined to believe that thie

In this highly financial age, the latter idea is the most

Mr. Teeveas seconded toe motion. lie congratulated the
constituency of the City of Linden thatalley were on the pre-
sent occasion honoured, not only by the presence of Mr. Loyd,
but by. that also of Mr. Roberts. They haeort the present
ewer/shin a constellation of mind, talent, and influence, that
he believed had never tech congregated together on any pre-
emus occasion in the City of London.— ( Great cheering.) the
motion was carried unabiteouely, and
Mr. Josses /..01:ll took the Chair amidst the most tre-
mendous cheering, which lasted for several minutes. In
taking the ' Chair on the present occasion he would endea• our
to preside over the proceedings of that mighty meeting with
fainiess anti impartiality. In taking the chair he did it, not
relying upon his own competency, but uncle: a deep sense that
in an emergency so important as the present it was the duty of
every roan, without any hesitation, at once to step forvra'rd,
and by his
,efferts and exertions, to endeavour to support
the . great cause which they had met that day,
to advocate: He trusted ehat the meeting hid esire together
with one united feeling in 'faVotir of and for the fu: theranee of
tine cemmori purpose. Undoubtedly a cause mere important
or candidates more distinguished—( Great cheering)—had
never keen brought before even the constituency of that
great tray. (Great cheering.) On the cause ter which
they had assembled, he shcutd not think it neces.sery to detain
them by making many remarks. Their presence in numbers
so vast, and with a zeal beyond all doubt, et:minced him that
they had well cor.sidereettlie nature of that cause, and that they
had justly estimated it. lie should content herr:self, therefore,
wan the brief but eftiphatie observation that it was his delibee
rani and deep conviction than it was theseause of wi dim and
of justice.—(Croat cheering.) It was the cause of reasonable
liberaity and enlightened leg.slateen—( Increased cheering. )
.1% ith respect to this illustrious individual, to receive whom,
and to • recognise whom, in the proud character of
thele Candidate, they had met that day, he must be permitted to
make a feW Observations.—(Great entering.) On any other
occasion than the present it. would be impossible for him to
speak of that individual without first alluding to the high an-
cesterial honours and gi eat historical assoctati .ns which must
ever attend upon the Ilirfle he bore.—( Great cheering.)
it would have been still more impossible Jer -:tesever
srefraineel
from adverting to that 'hug serieS, of. disialtiVired
services—(faits " Hear, Leer," and cheers')—by which
he had added further and gteater honour to that name,o
and by whiCh he had estabeshed an irresistible claim to
the high gratitude of his country.—(Leutt cheers. ) But con-
eidering the magnitude of the special purpose for winch they hail
that slay assembled, he ( Mr. Loyd) should not detain them with
re:a:seam to these topics. It was suflicisut for the m on the
',resent occasion, considering the object for which they were
assembled, to know that that distineuished came
amongst them that day as the. ariaister of free commerce,
as the declared ens my of the principle of monopoly—
(Cheers)—as the organ, and as the representative of that
wise and liberal Government which proposed gradually
to approximate to the principle of free trade, and
bring back the commercial legislation of this country by well-
c, nsidered steps to the straight and simple line of wisdom.—
They all knew that, in accordance with _those views and with
the object of effectually furthering them—a series of mea-
sures had been propesed to Parliament, and they were also
well acquainted with the fate which attended them.
Those .measures had been met by the House of Commons
with a hasty end contemptuous rejection.—(Loud cheers.)
/Voce the decision, after the monstrous decision of the
present House of Commons, her Majesty's Government
had declared their intention cf making - an immediate
and solemn appeal to the people. They, the • eleetore
of this great City, must now earnestly prepare for
those duties which await them, and they • must con- •
sider seriously Who' were the candidates to whom
they could, satisfactorily to themselves, end safely for their
country —( Cheers)—entrust the high duty, the solemn trust,
of speaking .their sentiments, and of upholding their country's
nterests, in the Parliamsnt which was about to be elected.
--( Hear, hear, aid cheers.) It yens under those
circumstances that a requisition bearing 5,000 signatures
—( Cheers)—had been presented to Lord John Russell, re-
questing his consent to be put in nomination as a Candi-
date to represent this great City iu l'arliament—(Cheers.)
To that requisition his Lordship had returned an answer Which
he (Mr. Loyd) trusted they bad all rend, and the Noble Lord
had ma-!.e a still more emphatic reply by his honoured pre-
sence amongst them.—( Loud cheers.) He (11r. Loyd)
would say on the part of his Lordship that he had sustained
and further confirmed his high character for undaunted r. se-
lutien—( Loud cheers)—and for the most. generous self-devo-
tion, which be had ever exhibited when his country required it.
Let them not talk to him ( Mr. Loyd) in the present crisis
those ordinary rules which taught them .to suppose that
a rieresenrative for_ this great City must possess, as his
qualifications, a knowledge of the local interests of the City
or an extensive Personal acquaintances with the constituency.
Such qualifications, no 'dead, on common and ordinary occa-
sions, were requisite ; but. the present, as the Noble Lord, in
his address, had stated, was no ordinary occasion—(Cheers) ;
in a great emergency, and, most assuredly, if ever there, was
such which-deserved the character it was the present—in a
great emergency great and extraordinary efforts must. be made.
Where, he would ask—when a liberal Government of a liberal
and enlightened country peripontd to unswaddle the mighty
giant—the. lercules of English induetry—(llear, hear, and
cheer s)—to restore it to its true strength and legitimate pow ers—
when they have brought forward measures for that purpose ; when
those Ines:sures had been rejected by the Commons—when the
Government thus treated were about to aepeel -to• the people,
and when they. had staked their existence as a Go•
vernment upon the success of that appeal— , here, he
would ask, ought the first Minister of the Crown
—he meant of course the first Minister of the Crown who
derived his legislative powers—not only from hereditary rights
—(Cheers)--but by direct. delegation of the people—
(Cheers)—where ought the first Minister of the Crown, so eir-
cumsti need, and at such a moment—where ought he to
be found ? Was it not in the arms of the constituency of
the first commercial city in the world ? (Cheers). Such
were tae circumstances under which Lotd John Russell
then appeared • before them. He - would ask them
to ;allow him to occupy their time for one
or two minutes be alluding to circumstances which
.belonged to
the history o' the family of their illustrious visitor. The his-
torian of forrnef times, in speaking I.f the ancestor of
the Noble • Lord, who wily remain celebrated in •his.
tory as long as the best days of English independence
and English public. spirit under any circumstances were re-
membered. The historian, in describing the'solernn circum-
s'antees under which the. most distinguished ancestor
of the Noble Lord laid• clown his head on the block
as a penalty for • his exertions merle to protect the
civil and religious rights of this country—(Cheers)—the
historian, in language so beautiful, so affecting, said, " The
illustrious martyr passed through the street< of this city in his
carriage to the place of execution, and the people imagined
that they saw virtue and•liberty seated by his sole. _(Cheers. )
The same guardian angels hovered over the Noble Lord—
(Cheers.) With the same sp:rit of self-devotion, with the same
generous magnanimity as that:which led his ancestor to lay down
his life on the block for Abe people, had he (Lord John Russell)
in better times and better days done his duty by showing him-
self generously and unhesitatingly before the Constituency
of this great Cite. —( Loud cheers. ) Yea, he bad on
that clay estate as • his ancestor had done, in his eaesiege_
tlitough the streets ofethe metropolis, and true it was that
virtue and liberty accompanied him. He .came not;
indeed, as in the dark times of his ancestor, to the
black scene that awaited into, tut he lad carne
to that glorious civil triumph which union and &termini' d
exertions would command. He came there amongst
them repudiated, he had almost said 'nuked, • by -
a
House 'ofCommons--(t hears)—which he (Mr. Loyd)
Net trusted to Raid had not spoke the voice of the-people.—
He c use there, • thus treated, to ask for their countenance
an d probatiod—lio reline there, having in his bosom those mea-•
sures which tint House bad rejected, and he demanded of them
suppoi t for-those meaeures ; at.d upon what ground dal he ask
for that support ? Let him ( Mr. Loyd) state this in the lan-
guage of the Nolde Lord himself, for no other winds
cituld. 'snits; them - with the sense modesty arid force.
lie dernanded this sepeort fir his Cre;vernment end measures;
bemuse' the main ohject he had was to -increase. the comfort,
and proteote the trade, and unchain the industry, of the
great and treeailing interests of- the' country—( Cheers)—
and he further stated Oast these measures had buffered in his
bands a temporary defeat, but he could not doubt the truth of
the prineiple on which' . they were founded, nor could
t ie Noble Lord .bel.eve that in this great metropolis of crom-
merest thoSe prineieles would. he. defeated. The litiguage and
cern:fret of the Noble Lord at the present moment reminded
him (Mr. Loyd) of those days of ancient history which
were celebrated for the production of specimens of noble
. patriot em and high and exalted r s9letivn—of the Roman

• General who, 'when folding hi; country's safety had
been overwhelmed in a mighty conflict, returned to the
citizens of Rome, not to deceive them i y false r. pre-
sentations, not to conceal from View the danger, uot
to tell them that they were called upon to make sacrifices.
but to explain to them that they had been def. eted .n a ire t
and formidable oonflict, and to tall on those who wished those
their country saved, to follow, and be would lead to vis.tore.
He was confident that those sentiments would me et, as he found
they had done, with an echoing response from the heart of
every man to whom he addressed them —( flyer, and cheers.)
He was not deceived in his expectations, and he was '
satisfied that be lived not trespass ti Cher on their tine.
The Noble Lord was himself present—much honoured were
they by such an event. fie was there present to tell them in
language which no other runt; on that platform could even
feebly attempt to emulates, what were the grounds on which he
appeared before them, and what was the nature of lit great
eau.° with which he was identified, and in the succe,s of shish
our future prospi cts as a great and happy cern-Pry niainl.
rested. His duty would be discharged when he had introduced
to them that Noble Lot d upon the present oceasion.—( Hear. )
He could not doso in the ordinary ferns of introdecing bitn as his
Right Hon. Friend. He stood in no situatisn olnen. war
ranted 'Lim in the use of such a term towards .so elcva'ed and
sa great an individual ; but he presented him to that meeting,
end through that meeting lie presented him to the corts'is
tueney at large—( Cheers )—as his country's friend—(Cheers)—
ae an individual towards whom, in that character, he ethe
Chairman), and they, and all who wet e interested in their
country's well-being, were not only entitled, but were bound to
entertain all those feelitigs—those mingled and harm melons feel:
ings of respect, gratitude, and confidence, which a grateful pe. ple
would never fail to bestow in unmeasured abundance on this,
who had proved themselves to be true, and steady, and !with.:
fief public servants.- Loud cheers.) Beforwhe concluded, he
should remind stliZon, that although the main and
principal object for which that meanie" had been
aeseinbied was ;to ...receive in persons, and to recog-
nize the merits of Lord John Russell—that there were
also present upon that occasion three gentlemen who at pre-
sent iepresented them is P..rliament—( Cheers)—and who he
trusted would again be enabled to assume that proud piei.ion.
—(Cheers ) Those gentlemen attended that day to cLi
honour te the i luso ions individual helene them, and at the
same time to discharge their duty to their constituencies. They
na doubt, be a exious to address the meeting upon that
occasion, but they also spoke to their constituents through their
pat services in language noire sir. ng than either they
or he could adopt.—(Cries of " Hear, heer," and cheers.)
He wou'd only remind them in addition, that as the question
about to be submitted to the conitouent body of the empire
was one so simple and distinct, that as it was a questom
to which the answer must be 6• ay or no," and as on
the effemive character of that answer, in his firm belief,
depended either the clouded times of despair and decay, or
the bright acid glorious times of future prosperity, which, by
wise legislation and mutual justice from alt eta ses ter one anti
Cher, was yet within our grasp. He trusted they would re-
member that • they could not • effectually accomplish these
ends, or realise the expectations of their best friends, un'ess
by vise common act and one commonarcord they send his Lord-
ship to the next Parliament supported by the other three gen-
tlemen who now represented them ; and he would be greatly de-
ceived if where Lord.). Russell led they would not be found to fol-
low. The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst vehement end re••
peatel cheers the meeting by apologising for the 'meth to
which he had trespassed on their attention.
Sir J. GUEST felt proud at finding himself selected, homvever
un wm thy of the honour, to propose to them a resolution which
he was sure they would respond to with enthusiasm. Ile had
to propose to them a resolution; to the effect that the meeting
received with the highest satisfaction and delight the determine-
tiim of Lord John Itussell to stand as a candidate to represent
them in the ensuing Parliament.—( Cheers.) It would ill
become him to address them at any length after the
eloquent speech of their Chairman ; and still less would it
tecome him to attempt to impress upon so enlightened an as-
sembly the advantages of tree trade over monopoly'. He was
sure there were hundreds present who could properly value
flee commercial intercourse, and could duly appreciate its
benefits; and hi' was sure that at the poll they would show
that the City of London—the first city in the empire—was fully
alive to the importance of the questions now under the consi-
deration of the people of England. He trusted they would offer
an example to the whole kingdom ; and that with " a strong
pull, a burg pull, and a pull together," they would return his
friend, Lord John Russell, at the head of the po :—( cheers);
and that with him they would return the presets: three Mein-
hers to represent them in the ensuing Parliamen6. The Hon-
Gentleman then moved the first resolutie n :--" That the
meeting viewed with the highest satisf ction and de-
light ti.e declaration of Lord John Russell. that he accepted the
requisition of the electors, and avowed himself' a candidate."—
( Cheers. )
S. Bneensox, Esq., seconded the resolution.
The is solution was then put and carried amidst loud cheering.
Commodore Sir C. Napier here entered on the platform,
and was received with vehement and repeated acclamations by
every one present.
Lord JOIIN RUSSELL then rose, and was received with long
continued and deafening chcers. When the cheering in some •
measure subsided, the Noble turd thus addressed the meet-
ing ntlemen, I stand before you, in consequence of a
recimsitiou, bearing, as your Chairman has said, 5,000 siesta-
tnres, inviting use to allow myself to be put in nomina-
tion as a candidate for the City of London.—(Cheers.)
Gentlemen, I should not have ventured in any other circum-
stances to aspire to such an honour; but while Mel that nod r
tehe..sesSreonistancels; -aistit. without such as, • inseieweierineitetwesse'd
have been presumptions it me to ask far the suffrages of the
electors of the City of London; yet on the preterit occasion,
with such an ineitationeel feel equally that it would have
Let n poltroonery in ine -to have ri feted it.—(Great cheers.)
For, Gen lemen, you have rightly juite"ed that it depends upon
you and the electors of the United Kingdom,
to deeide this great question.—(Cheers.) The preposa's of
the Ministers, as your Chairman has told you, at least the first
of them that was proposed, was rejected by the House of
Commons. That deci•sien was no doubt made conscientiously,
with a view to the interests of the country.—( Loud erit a of
" No, no.") But, Gentlemen, whether you agece with me •
in o; inion as to the motives of that rejection, 1 thick you will
not difier from me when I say that the Ministers of the Crown
were entitled tse advise their Sovereign that this We:
an occasion, that these were measures upon which. as they
affect the cemmunity, the people ought to be consulted, and
that an appeal should be made to the country at large whether
they confirm or reject. the decision made by the House cf
Commons.—(Great cheering.) That, Gentlemen, is the ap-
peal that is about to be made, and I know no community in
which it tan be better judeed, in which you will find elee•
tors more capable of deeid.ng such a questmn, than in
this great City, the meta -polls. of the commerce of our world.
We, Gentlemen, had to consider, in our duty as Ministers,
not only the questions affecting trade, open which, on every
sotind principie, great alterations ought to be made in the
present restrictive duties restrictive in many instances,
prOhibitory in some instances—but we had likewise to
consider the state of the country as affecting- its finanees.
We found it impossible, however desirous we !night be of (mei-
romy in the 'management of the resources of the State, to allow
this great country to i.e placed in a position inferior to other
countries, es regards that vital peint in her strength, her mari-
time forces.—( Cheers. ) Of late years, the navies kept by
several of the great countries of Europe have Leen very much
increased. The nary of France at present is sense thee or
four and twenty sail-of-the-line; the navy of Russia, some seven
and twenty sail-of-the-line. We have raised tie navy of Ene,-
hind to some five or six-and-twenty ; and I
ask }nu, con'idering all our great interes's in the various
portions of the glob; aware as you are that we have to he
strong in the Mediterranean, not only in the Channel and in
the neighbourhooe of cur own shores, but that we have to' pro-
tect our various possessions and dependensies in every quar-
ter of the globe, I ask you whether it would be be-
coming in English Ministers to say that the force
of Lnglasid should be inferior to that • of other
Powers, and that the flag of England should even run the risk
of infamy ? (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen,' if such leas our •
sentiment, and I am glad to perceive it to be yours, the
question next came to be how the expenses necessary for such
a force were to be sustained. Why, one obvious mode was to ask
for increased burdens upon the people, and I am satisfied, if
there had been a necessity for those increased burdens •
—if, upon 'looking at the whole state of the country and the
whole state of our finances, we had been obliged to say that
there was a necessity for those burdens, and no Member of the
• House of Conimons could have pointed out that that necessity
could be avoided—l am persuaded that both the Houses of
Commons and the people of this country would cheerfully have
borne these burdens for the purpose of sustaining the honour, the
credit, and the Tower oldie nation.—( Cheers. ) But, Gentlemen,
when we considered this subject, having previously considered
all these masters relating to trade, it struck us with a convic-
tion that it was impossible to avoid, that there were not only
taxes paid to the Queen, forming part of the revenue of this
couetry, but that there were ether taxes paid to different
classes in this country—(Cheers)--which are no less taxes
because they do not enter into the Exeliequer—(Cherrs)—
whieh are co less burdens because they count for
nothing in the Laval and other establishments of
the country, taxes which pressed most heavily upon the in-
dustry and resources of the country ; and that, by. diminish-
ing such taxes, so far from diminishing the revenue
of the Government, so far from diminishing the
revenue for their necessary expenses, we could meet the
wants of these establishments and raise the revenue of the c ountry
to the utmest that was at present required by its necessities.
Having, therefore, I say, arrived at this conviction, how could
we fairly and honestly propose to lay other and new bur-
dens upon the people ?—(Loud cheers.) We' were perfectly
aware, in fact every man must he aware, of the great strength
of the protected interests, and that they would be naturally de-
sirous of continuing time system of protection,. and consequently
of continuing those burdens upon the nation—but were we,
therefore, to forget the unprotected interests—( Cheers)—
and endeavour to impose those burdens upon Blom while by
the adoption of a fairer and a juster mode the wan's of the
revenue might be supplied'.'—( Loud cheers.) I will now
speak of the proposed measures in relation to the revenue of
the country. We have sustained wars of great expense,
and of great length, and large debts have Leen incu6red
to -support those wars with whirls the present gene-
ration has been burdened in consequence of those wars.

shrouded in a studied obscurity the purpose which, until I hear
. nave ;dearly and explicitly defined, I must say I consider
as an attempt to keep up the burdens and restrictions ender
which our industry is now suffering, and that. they int, nd to
reeruit the finances by increasing the burdens of the perple.—
( Cheers. ) :Now, with regard to what we haVe pre posed,-
the, e are many who take especill interest in the question of
Corn-laws, and I think, gentlemen, that you will agree with
ins, that there may tie remain considerations which ought
to weielt with us with regard to an alteration
in those laws. In the titst place if it can be made cut that
these are any burdens which press unequally upon the egrieul-
tural interest., it is in accordance with the pHs ciples of
the freest trade riot to impose on our own people
a greater leirden than we do, on foreienera (Cheers.) On
that principle, therefore, we must either take off those taxes
wt.ieem press unequally upon agriculture, or we
must impose a - duty equal to them on the foreigner,
I hen, with- regard to any sudden alteration, if the farmers
and the labourers have had eneomagement in pursuing
a vicious system, Ho one would wish rot an alteration
so sudden as to produce great misery and distress.
So wah regard to the other sul;iects,- 1 am per waded that-
.hese very reduttio, s, co far from being injurie us to the

all others. the 'am let interest is interested in having close at hand

terest feel alarmed, at cur propositions, but I say, let us
look at the opinions of those wha may be supposed
to know best what are the true interns's of the agri-
cultural community. Let us look at the opinions of one
who has always ,been a high authority eta these subjects
who has devoted
,h s whole attention to agriculture, and
devoted the a hole of a long life to agricultural pursuits--1 mean

Another nobleman who has devoted his life to agricultural per
suits, who has preferred those pursuits to the highe.t honour
which ambition he'd out to him—Lord Spencer—is in favour
of an alteration in the Corn .laws.—( Loud cheering,
an i cries of s• No.'') Yes, if Lord Frtzwilliam's motion
had been brought forward in the House of Lords,
Lerd e;reneer wuu.d have voted for it.--( Loud cheers.) When
I see there men alio had devoted their special attention
to agriculture, when I see Lord Fitzwilliam,
the Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Bedford. and others,
in favour of such an alteration I cannot believe that such
a measure can be injurious to the iaterasts of•agrieulture
but that on the contrary these men see more truly and more
wisely what is the real interests of agriculture ;
and rather than carry on a protracted struggle
against the wisdom and justice of these alterations, I think it
better that we should he one people united in interest, and
that that which is best for the whale community
must also be best . for the great agricultural interests.
Gen lemen, I have been accused of using exciting language,
when I endeavoured to refute the notion that the scanty crops
of this country, and the diminished food of particular years
aas an ordiaatiee of Pravidence to which we must submit ;
and I endeavoured humbly to slow that that was not the
case, and, that in this as in other instances, Provid, rice
wisely provided fur man if man did not reject his
gifts and blessioge.—(Tremendoes cheering.) In so
arguing this to, ic, I have Inert .preceded -by men who
were no agitators—who were not acting for ally purpose
of immediate popularity, or endeavouring for any purpose to
save or uphold a alinistry.—( Hear.) I was using the laaguaee
of Lord Grenville, thee whom no wan was more attached to
the Conservative ant Monarchical institutions of the country.
(Hear, hear, and cries of " lie was a Tory.") Then, at least,
Gentlemen, if Lord Grenville was, daring the greater part of
his life a Tory—(Laughter)—l was not •at feat putting
forth any demoeratic doctrine. —( Much cheering and laughter. )
But, bentlemen, was not the fact so ?—( Hear. hear.) I will
put the instance as one might paint it to themselves, and it will
be letter, perhaps, if I take two individuals. Take a man in
Germany, a small landholder, who was ready um cultivate his
land—te work all the year through—to sow and to reap,
and who said tha7t tie was willing to part with the fruit of
his industry, provided he coud get clothes for himself
and his fam'ly.—(Loud cheer:.) Take another man in Lan-
cashire, who by his industry, and by working some ten hours a
day in. the hardest way and with insufficiant food, is wiling to
provide clothes for him provided he can obtain a better and
more plentiful supply of food.—( Cheers.) Here are two men
the one wishing for clothes and the other for food, and there is
the third person, the merchant, who is ready to negotiate
between them, so that both parties may be benefited. Is
not that the course which seems by the natural order
of things to he pointed out—that which will give
a scope to industry, and give its reward to industry,
and make both men happy and contented. I eay, then, why
are you to come With your laws and with your Government,
not for the purpose of protection—not for the purpese for which
Government end laws were instituted, but fee the purpose of
placing a tar between those two men, so that one shall not have
the clothing he wishes for at a cheap rate; and that the other
shall not have the food which he might obtain, but that you
shall shut up and separate these two men from some refined
argument of independence of foreign supplies.—(Much cheer-
ing.) 'These arts tome of the extremely subtle and ingenious
reasons by which they oppose a legislative bar to flee
trade, by whirls the one party is prevented from obtaining
a suiliciwent supply of clethiug, and the other is condemned to
a scanty supply of food. And then they cull this law

which Was really for the benefit of tbe country, and 1 have a.-
ways acted upon - these opinions fairly and freely,
and left it to my countrymen to judge whether
these opinions wore -deserving ef their -support. Gen.
tlemen, dal I consider the question which the City of
Louden Wye to aenide, and which the electors throughout
the coui.try ale will have to decide. The question is, whe-
ther upon this occasion, they will moose to unfetter the
industry of the country ?—( Loud cheers.) It .is upon
that question that 1 asish to ask for your
suffrages.. With regard to my past life, my past opinions, and
my past acts, I leave you to judge of them; I have iii apology
to make far the iii, and no apology will I make. And now, with
regard to this subject, on which) fern- I have detained you a loiig
time, I am told that it is a question which especially old' the
ferment if a general election, will raise excitement through-
out the country. Why, Gentlemen, there "is no spies-
lion deeply affecting the interests of the country, wise
ther it affects their comforts, their - prosperity,
or their rights. which does not excite feeling and
emotion, and thereupon it- may be said, that those
who promote it are endeavouring to cause excite-
ment.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.) But it is not fur the sake
of the excitement, but for the matter itself, that
I stand before you; and if the matter is important, why the

conic. In former times the power of arbitrary imprisonment ex-
isted, anda man might be seized and he might be confined in
prison by the sole awl a; bitrary dictum of the King: and a

and opposed that system. and was mainly instatnnental in pro-
curing that Hale as Corpus Act. which is now the safeguard
of our liberties.-4 Cries of " Bear, hear," and chew's.)
The question was whether the subject. was worth the excitement
it was causing in men's minds—(Great cheering)—in order
that you might obtain an Act by which no person might be
imprisoned except by the law and the decision of Judges amid lilies
of the country.—( Cheers.) And so I say of this question, I say
it is worth while that the country should be excited, in order to
decide whether industry is to be free or shackled.—(Cheers.)
Whether this country, is .to go on. prosperouslyy competing with
all the nations in the world, or whether she should yield to
other nations the proud preeminence she now holds, and
al'ow her decline to be as marvellous and as wonderful
as her rise.—((it eat cheering.) This is the case upon which
you arc called upon to decide. I shall' feel satisfied with your
decision whatever it may he. I have come forward and fairly
stated my (minion to the electors of the City of London, and if
they meet rt it h your approbation, I can assure them that I shall not
thrall or be deterred byanything from doing all that I
think for the be.netit and advantage of time country. With
respect to your local interests I cannot be supposed
to be so wel acquainted with them as many here present;
but I feel that if you send to Parliament the three friends
with whom I have le nea

any deficiency of mine will be most empty eunpliel as I am
sure they will give tne all the information in their power.
These, thee, are the questions for you to deeide.—.(Cries of

tinned cheering ) The Ministers of the Crown have advised
their Sovereign to dissolve Parliament, in order to appeal to
the people-(Chears)—and by that appeal they were
content to abide. It will be for the people to
say whether they will decide in one way or the other. I have
great confidence in the good sense of the people of England, and
