upon a stool and opined his discourse ; for a few minutes
he was heard patiently, but presently, from all parts of the
roam, there went up a variety of discordant sounds—cries
of " No bread tax"—" Who starve the poor?"—" Down
vita the agent of the Duke of Buckingham"—" No Corn-
laws"—" Cheap bread," mingled with yelling and boot-
ing, so that it was impossible to hear a word that fell from
the lecturer's lips ; it being evident that Mr. Justins
would not make any impression, the cries of " silence" from
his friends being met by louder cries of " No bread
tax" from the crowd, Mr. E. W. Cox rose and was received
with loud cheering. He entreated them to bear Mr.
Justins—(" No, no")—he claimed a hearing for him as a
matter of justice and courtesy. He implored them not to
follow the bad example of Mr. Justins' friends in other
places, but listen to what he had to say upon a question
which was a very difficult one—(" No, no")—and on
both sides of which a great deal was to be said.—(" No,
no," and loud hooting.) Mr. Justins was a stranger, and
as such entitled to their courtesy. If his facts were false,
and his arguments bad, there were those present who were
prepared to answer him. The attempt to still the storm
was vain. The crowd, becoming more excited, made a
rush towards the table, and a fight would have en-
sued had not Mr. Justins prudently made his retreat
under the escort of a few friends I But he gained the
door only to fall into worse hands. The passages and
staircase were crowded with women, who, loudly protesting
that they were more interested in the Corn-law question
than the men, for they and their families were suffering
from want of bread, saluted him with a simultaneous yell
" Here comes the bread-taxer !"—" No starvation laws !"
and such gentle exclamations, which were sp-_,edily
changed into a rush of petticoats,—the consequence of
which would have been anything but agreeable to Mr.
Justins' face and coat, had not his friends circled round
him and repelled the angry wives, not, however, until they
had obtained possession of his hat, which they battered to
pieces."
So the women, as in France, are beginning to
mingle in political frays? This Mr. JUSTINS Is
an agent of the Pro-Corn-law party, and what will
be the result of this rival appeal to the hungry
people may be easily predicted. If wheat were
at 355. per quarter, we might bet on Mr. JUSTINS,
but the price being nearly double that, we think he
has no chance. It is not only that bread is dear,
but employment is very slack. At a meeting of the
hand-Loom weavers at Manchester, on Monday
week, they resolved to address the Magistrates,
and amongst other things, said, according to the
Manchester Times—
" We do not wish to disgust you with the details of our
present wretchedness. Since the above-mentioned lime
our wages have been reduced from 5 to 10 per cent.,
while provisions have advanced to such a price as atirost
to threaten us with annihilation. Potatoes, which consti-
tute the chief part of our diet, being now beyond our
relleh, and our liffcrings ars,sudfias actually to make us
erwy a felon's allowance, did act the ignominy attached to
it deter us from eardng the degrading qual fication.
Humbly hoping that, having done so mach, you will pot
petrnit us to perish before Providence shall send us so-re
relief in the coming harvest, and humbly thanking you
far your exertions in this season of our suffering and
calamity, we remain ) ours, on behalf of the hand-loom
weavers."
" Patrick Flinn, in moving the first resolution, said—
The fine weather which brought woik and comfort to so
many had only brought more misery to them, as they were
thrown on their own resources at a time when provisions
were advanced 10 per cent., while their wages had been
reduced from 5 to 10 per cent. Fla held in his hand a
statement, wherein it could be proved that families of six,
eight, sad nine persons were actually existing on 53. or
6s. per week ; the consequence of which was, it was well
known, that sickness a:d death bad been very prevalent
amongst them. Out of four children he had buried two,
and he feared enaher mad shortly fellow in the s'eep of
death. Should any sickness visit them, their emaciated
state would make them easy vict:rns. Lot them raise their
voices fur the only remedy uhich could ensure them that
permanent relief which tine desired, and which the repeal
of the Corr.-laws—those fatal laws which had caused the
ruin cf their trade, the graft.dion of their order,_ and
which had sent to a prexatwe grave many an honest and
industrious weaver."

Tie people have found out that the Corn-
laws murder them. The wavers accordingly passed
resolutions, of which we quote the first and third :
" That the distress of the hand-loom weavers is fully
as severe as it was list winter, and, owing to the present
adv:wiced p: ice of provisi.,:n7, ahnos; insupportable."
" That thel miseries we Eave laboured tiner for many
years ere attribute to the eperation of the exstii-,g Corn-
laws, and we see no prespzct of amendment unless through
their total and unconditional repeal."
While such distress, which is unhappily very
great ii our manufacturing districts, prevails, the
landlords cannot enjoy their plunder in peace.
They live, and mu-;t: live, in daily apprehension.
A:iether shots hat vest—men now tremble for if—
v.;'.l provoke the people past. emluranc,,. Their
" almost fanatical -feeling," will become a blind
:IA the same cause which exhausts the
treasure of the Bank, of which the D-irect.ors are
afraid, will so exasperate the multitude, that they
will fear no danger and dread no consequences.
When that liwe co:ncs the police may slaughter the
people hut will not suppr*ess insurrection.

Oar Correspondent, " A Cheshire Rate-payer,"
should have transmitted to us the placard he has
now sent at an earlier period, if he expected any
good to arise from our notice of it. The Weaver
Churches Bill is now gone from the House of Com-
mons into the House of Lords, and that Bishop-
led assembly is not likely to kick out a Bill, on the
score of its injuring the poor, which benefits the
parsons. Our clerical legislators have been in
every age the great authors of the legal spoliation
of the poor to enrich the clergy, and the Ethiopian
will not now cast his skin. Already the Bishop
of LONDON has been neither good-tempered nor
well-mannered in his attack on Lord STANLEY, of
Alderley, on account of the Bill, and the most dis-
tant prospect of losing a fat bit for the Church
would make him entirely lose his temper. How--
ever, we will, even now, print the substance of the
placard which our Correspondent has sent us,
though we look as little for justice from the Lords
where the Church is, as where the Corn-laws-are
concerned, .

According to our Correspondent's statement, the
surplus of the river Weaver navigation dues has
been solemnly appropriated to the rate-payers of
Cheshire for more than one hundred years by seve-
ral Acts of Parliament.. To take 20,000/. from
these dues is to take it from the county-rate, which
being paid out of the poor-rate, is in fact to take
20,0001. from .the poor-rates to build churches.
But though the churches be built, and patronage
and clergymen follow as a matter of course, there
are likely to be no congregations. OVER, in,
eluding WINSFORD, in -which. it is proposed to
build a church, has.now church and chapel accom-;
modation for 2,600 persons, and the population is
only 2,270. If the crews of all the Fiats which
navigate the Weaver were to attend church at one
time, they could not fill the vacant seats. Including
churches and chapels;',,vithin one mile and a quar-
ter of the navigation, the whole line of the river is
equally well provided with spiritual acconmodation:
The Fiat-men, instead of being poor, and asking
for spiritual help, are a well-paid class of labourers,
many of them own small freeholds, and most of them
are subscribers to some place of worship, at which
they attend as regularly as any other class. Yet, under
the pretext of providing religious accommodation-
for these men, which .they have repudiated by their
petitions—though the parsons- will hold that to be
the strongest possible proof of their need, the pious
promoters of the Weaver Churches Bill propose to
take 20,0001. from the funds devoted to the real
and starving poor. If those who actually want
bread do not suffer from the deduction, it will be
because the ratepayers-will be called on to pay
that additional sum. In fact, whatever part of the
sum cannot be squeezed out of the paupers, must
be paid by the rate-payers, who are thus taxed by
the pious builders of churches, in order that their
itch for a spurious reputation for piety and godli-
ness may be gratified.
If on such a question little is to be expected
froni the House of Lords, the Commons seem to
be almost as church mad and quite as unjust as
their Lordships.. In spite of energetic remon-
strances the Commons passed the Weaver
Churches Bill. The h, o
ns we
are believe,
I e
alarmed
at both Lords Commons
at the tqatc the' working population, and know-
ingthat they are the authors of the mischief, they
expect, I:ke all superstitious and ignorant men, to
ward off' the consequences of their sins by being
additionally pious. Like Sir BA LAA NI, who, ac-
cording to POPE, after he :.ad kept the diamond,
• went. twice to church where he before went only
_ once, to compensate for his roguery, so our legis-
lators fancy they can hide their own injustice to
the people by building more churches, and bribing
the Great Disposer of events to ward off from
them the evilxonsequenees of their own conduct.
i They are to compensate the people kr' a long
series of neglect, and a Toni* series of injustice, by
Lnove edriviu" them to clireh. Instead of free-
trade, they them cold formalprealyeergrsyn;leinn-.

It is. an old remark, that the very wicked are also
very devout, in order to appease by their words the
they know their conduct has deserved. Sir
BALA A NI, however, according to the story, met
his deQcrts--(oing twice to church did not save him!
from the gallows ; neither will the present zeal of
both Leids and Commons to build churches, and
