FREE TRADE MEETING AT ST. ALBANS.--A
public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Albans was held in
the Town-hall, on Monday evening, to forward the free-trade
qualification movement in this county. The chair was ably
tilled by Mr. C. Lattimore, the " Hertfordshire Farmer ;"
and Mr. Falney addressed the meeting as a deputation from
the Council of the League. The proceedings were conducted
with great spirit; and a resolution, pledging the meeting to
co-operate with the League was carried unanimously and by
acclamation. The room was crowded during the whole of
the proceedings, which lasted nearly three hours, and the
meeting finished with hearty cheers for the chairman, the
League, and free-trade. The chairman repeatedly invited
discussion, but even in this agricultural district monopoly
could find no champion. It is true the monopolists held a
meeting a few days ago, but when some question was asked
by a gentleman present, the chairman (the Marquis of Salis-
bury) said he would instantly dissolve the meeting if there
were any discussion ! Verily, the days of protection are
numbered, and its advocates know it.

immediately take place in this respect, as it will otherwise be
impossible,
when the weather becomes more severe, to con-
