The House adjourned at Eleven o'clock.

The Anti-Corn-law Delegates yesterday had an
interview with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER and the PRESIDENT of the BOARD Of
TRADE, both of whom concurred in opinion that
the present system of Corn-laws is bad, though they
advocate a fixed duty. A fixed duty is not only, as
the Manchester men say, a fixed injust ce, but as
Lord ASHBURTON says, it cannot be maintained.
Moreover, the landlords are against it. We sub-
scribe to all the arguments which the Duke of
RICHMOND and Lord ASIIBURTON used to repu-
diate it, and could add many more ; but we do not
see in what respect the fluctuating scale is superior
to a fixed duty. Neither can we comprehend the
reluctance of legislators to put an end to an acknow-
ledged injustice. What is the sense of tolerating
half a felony, or substituting a maiming for a mur-
der ? A law to give wealth to the idle landowners
at the expense of the industrious classes, is a posi-
tive, though a legal robbery, and ought to be
instantly abolished.
Some landowners see it in this light, and are
ashamed of it :

" I belong myself to the agricultural community," said Mr.
Sharman Crawford, at the Dublin meeting, " being one of
that class who are believed to have an interest in the
maintenance of these laws—for whom they are supposed to
have been made. I have felt it to be my duty to come
among my countrymen to show that I am not a co-partner
in maintaining those laws. There is a conscience within
my breast which tells me I should not take the bread out
of the poor man's mouth to fill my own coffers—(Cheers)
_and if I did not come forward to get rid of those laws, it
would be as bad as if I supported them."
Other landlords will also feel it their duty, we
are well convinced, to come out from amongst the
unjust men " who take the bread out of the poor
man's mouth to fill their own coffers." Those who arc
opposed to the Corn-laws, like Lord RADNOR,
Lord FITZWILLIAM, and the Marquis of WEST-
MINSTER, will separate themselves from the wicked
oppressors of their fellow-countrymen, and refuse to
be branded with any part of their dishonour. It is
a good sign when some righteous men are found
amongst the landowners, and if the Press and the
League persevere the victory will be more speedily
on the side of the Abolitionists than the croakers
imagine.
