The spirit of the Anti-Corn-law League yet sur-
vives, and is as vigorous and as well prepared
as ever to come forth and do battle in support
of the glorious principles of free trade. The sugar
monopolists, who have of late been " making night
hideous" with their " howlings" after protection,
have reckoned without their host. Finding the
Anti-Corn-law League dissolved, and RICHARD
COBDEN, the soul of the League, absent from Eng-
land, travelling on his mission of " goodwill to man-
kind" through the different countries of the Conti-
nent, where, to quote the words of Mr. GEORGE
%Vinson, the earnest and indefatigable chairman of
the late Anti-Corn-law League, " he has been
received as the accredited and honoured am-
bassador of free trade and peace in every city
and port in Europe"—the " members of the aris-
tocracy of the sugar cask," as Mr. COBDEN
was wont felicitously to designate them, fondly
imagined that the spirit of the League was
dead—that the reign of the humbug of Protection
was not yet over, and that again they would. be en-
abled to revel in the luxuries of Belgravia, ley
plundering the hard-working labourers of this
country under the specious pretext of humanity to
the blacks. All these visions, however, have vanished
into air—thin air. The men of the late Anti-Corn-
law League are up and doing; they are as earnest,
as enthusiastic, as logical, as just, as honest as they
ever have been, and infinitely more powerful—wit-
ness the glorious Free-trade demonstration at
Manchester on Thursday last. On that day
two thousand five hundred ladies and gentlemen
assembled together in the Free-trade Hall, " to
celebrate the return to Parliament of the distinguished
advocates of commercial freedom who have been
members of the National Anti-Corn-law League."
Among these distinguished advocates of commercial
freedom who were present at this banquet were—
Richard Cobden, Esq., M P.; the Right Hon. Thomas
Milner Gibson, M.P.; Thomas Thornely, Esq., M.P.;
J. P. Pilkington, Etq., M.P.; Wm. Ewart, Esq., M.P. ;
John Dixon, Esq., M.P.; E. A. Thicknesse, Esq., M.P.;
John Bright, Esq., M.P.; Dr. Bowring, .M.P.; M. Wil-
son, Esq., M.P.; J. B. Smith, Esq., M.P.; Colonel T. P.
Thompson, M.P.; James Kershaw, Esq., M.P.; J.
Bretherton, Esq., M.P.; G. Thompson, Esq., M.P.; J.
Williams, Esq., M.P.; R. Gardner, Esq., M.P.; and
the Mayors of Manchester and Ashton, besides many
gentlemen who took a distinguished part in the agitation
of the corn-laws.

Here we have a goodly list of free-traders re-
turned to the House of Commons ; but this list does
not include the names of all the members of the late
League who have been returned. The name of W.
J. Fox, Esq., M.P., certainly not one of the least
distinguished members of the League, is not to be
found in this list ; and there are various others, Lord
MORPETII, for instance, whose names are enrolled as
leaguers, who were not present, so that this assem-
blage, brilliant as it was, important as it was, can by
no means be considered as demonstrating the whole
strength of the free-trade party in the House of
Commons. The chair was taken by Geotten
WiLsorr, Esq., a gentleman to whose name we would
fain see attached the letters M.P., for with his peculiar
and happy power of exposing fallacies, his untiring
energy, and his business habits, his presence in the
House of Commons would be of infinite service.
He explained the object of the meeting in a few
words :—" We do not meet here," said he, " to cele-
brate a victory obtained by one constituency, but by
a number of constituencies—not to record a triumph,
carried to a successful issue, in a small pocket
borough, but to record the triumph obtained by the
people of England—one unexampled in the history
of any previous election." It is, indeed, a triumph
unexampled in the history of any previous election.
The chiefs of the League have been by the free
choice of the people transferred en masse to the
House of Commons, which henceforth will take the
place ofCovent-garden Theatre as the temple for which
the doctrines of commercial freedom will be expounded,
to the world. The Protectionists, utterly defeated on
the corn question, appear inclined to fight on the
West Indian question; but, as Mt. WILsoN pro-
phetically observed, " We will .'meet. them on that,
too, and defeat them upon that-as upon other ques-
tions." The question of protectiiin to the West India
body was so admirably discusied by Mr. Mutsu
GIBSON—the success of the great free-trade experi-
ment in this article of sugar, whether regarded
financially or socially, so clearly demonstrated, and
the rules by which a representative of the people
should guide his conduct in voting on this question,
so justly laid down, that we feel no apology is neces-
sary for quoting in extens• what fell from the Vice-
President of the Board of Trade on this important
subject :
" We are asked to give to the West India body a
protecting duty of 10s. per cwt. upon sugar—lol. per
ton upon all the colonial sugar—upon all the colonial
sugar imported into this country—is the modest re-
quest which is made to the representatives of the
people. Ten pounds per ton upon all the colonial
sugar would amount to upwards of two millions of
taxes, to be imposed upon the people of this country;
not for the purposes of the State ; not to be paid into
the coffers of the Exchequer; but to be transferred
from the great body of the consuming classes of
England to the proprietary body of colonial lands.
Now, I have no doubt it is very easy for persons
to say that granting this protection to the West India
body will make very little addition to the price of
sugar; will not be felt by the consumer, and will
prevent the ruin of many respectable families, and
restore to prosperity, perhaps, many West Indian
mercantile houses. If I were asked to give my own
property, I might say, ' Very well, I have no objection
to grant you from my own funds the amount which
you ask, and I only hope that it may relieve you
froma Member
your distress ;" but that is not the position of
be
of Parliament ; he is not dealing with his
own
Pr property.—(Applause.) He is trustee for the
people, and he ,
4 bound to act upon the strict prin-
ciple of justice
ofa tteempbeeorploef.
And what is, therefore the caspositionlsea
of
Parliament when aftworel: ere

him-
self this question—ls there a more obvious and
clear
title—one more inalienable, or less capable of being
shaken—than that which the labouring man has to the
earnings which he has received as the reward of his
industry ? Can there be a higher title to property than
the title which the labouring man has established for
the wages given him for his labour ? Well, then, what
is the nature of this higher title which we are told
exists on the part of West India proprietors to a
portion of those wages; how can he make out a higher
or a better title to get a portion of those wages than the
labouring man who has received them directly for his
industr, ? (Hear, hear, and applause.) I cannot
reconcile it to m notions of justice that it can be
shown by..
anyprevious legislation of this country,
that it can be shown by any
i
arguments
which I h - - prescriptive

that any colonial
uals any better claim to this Mall wages .

than the man has himself.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
And until a better title can be shown than the labour-
ing man himself can show to the wages he has re-
ceived from his employer, I must refuse, merely at
the request of proprietors, and upon the plea of dis-
tress, I must refuse, in my capacity as a trustee, to
transfer any portion of these earnings to the proprie-
tors of the soil.—(Hear, and loud cheers.) When the
Sugar Duties Bill of 1846 passed through Parlia-
ment all the facts were before the Legislature which
are now before them.—(Hear, hear.) Everything
was taken into consideration, and, after a mature
discussion of the Government, sugar duties were
placed upon a permanent footing.—(Hear, and ap-
plause.) The measure of 1846 has conferred great
benefits upon the country.—(Hear, bear.) It has
done as the Protectionists predicted it would do, it
has added materially to the revenue of the State, and
it has increased the quantity of sugar to the con-
sumer.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) I will take the
liberty of reading to you the effect which it has had
upon the revenue of the State, and also the addition
it has made in the quantity of sugar consumed by
the people.—(Applause.) For the twelve months
ending August, 1845, the year previous to the present
Bill being passed, for the twelve months, I say, ending
August, 1845, the revenue from sugar amounted to
3,339,182/. ; for the twelve months ending August,
1847, being the first year of our Sugar Bill—the
Free-trade Sugar Bill—the revenue from sugar
amounted to 4,6.52,4921., showing an increase of
1,313,000/.—(Hear, hear)—tbat was the sum gained
to the revenue, accompanied, as I said before, with
less taxation to the consumer, and an increased quan-
tity of sugar at a lower price brought within the
reach of all classes of her Majesty's subjects.—
(Applause.) I am therefore prepared to stand by
the Bill of 1846.—(Loud cheers.) I think it is a
good measure—(Hear, hear)—l think it has answered
the purposes for which it was introduced—(Rear)—
I think it was a just measure—l think it was a well-
considered measure, and I think the country will
never regret that it was passed into a law."
After this clear and lucid exposition of the subject,
we trust that the West Indian body will be wise
enough to abstain for the future from asking for pro-
tection. The defeat of any attempt on their part to
plunder the people of England of two millions per
annum for their own private benefit is certain, for,
as Mr. COBDEN said, this glorious Manchester de-
monstration is to be regarded not so much as a meet-
ing to celebrate past triumphs, as to show that the
free-traders are alive to the future. As might be
naturally supposed, Mr. COBDEN alluded at some
length to the subject of our national defences, and
thus explained his Stockport speech :

" I stated, at Stockport, very candidly, what I will
state now, and what I stated in my writings twelve
years ago, that you cannot have any material reduc-
tion in our armaments until a great change shall have
taken place in the public feeling of the country with
regard to our foreign policy.—(Hear, hear.) The
English people must first abandon the notion that
they are to regulate the affairs of the whole world.
I wish to do no injustice to the Minister that main-
tains our armaments, nor do I blame him for it now;
but all I wish is to invoke public opinion upon the
folly of conducting our foreign policy as it has been
conducted in times past, and this I will do on all oc-
casions.—(Applause.) When the public opinion—
the majority of the public opinion of the country—is
on my side, I shall be content to see my views on this
question carried out, but until that time I consent to
be in a minority, and in a minority I will remain
until I can make it into a majority.—(Cheers.)"
This is a very different version from that which has
hitherto been considered Mr. COBDEN'S speech at
Stockport, and is no doubt the correct one. We
felt convinced at the time we read the first version of
Mr. COBDEN'S speech, that there was a gross error
somewhere. Mr-. COBDEN then proceeded to show
that our present naval force was amply sufficient for
all purposes of defence if it were properly distributed,
and contended that if our fleet, now worse
than uselessly employed in the Tagus, in
defending the Queen of PORTUGAL against
the just indignation of her own subjects, were sta-
tioned in the Channel, for the protection of our coasts,
there would be no necessity for increasing the esti-
mates by one farthing. The Honourable Gentleman,
in conclusion, thus replied to the taunts at free trade
in which some of " the willing to wound, but yet
afraid to strike," party have of late been wont to
indulge:—
" We began by advocating free trade, believing it
would bring in its train peace and harmony among
all nations ; but the most enthusiastic free-trader
among us never said, as some of the papers now say,
that we expected a millenium after we had obtained
free trade. We never expected anything of the'sort
—we expected that other nations would require time,
as we had, to carry out our views; but what we did
hope was this—that the continent of Europe would
not, at all events, have seen that we were the first to
doubt as to the tendency of our own principles, and
that we should be arming ourselves against those
from whom we expected to meet only with friendship.
We thought, and we endeavoured, to make free trade
the harbinger of peace. When we planted the olive
tree we never expected its fruits to be had in a day,
but in due season we hoped to gather them; and,
with Heaven's help and your help, it shall yet be so."

The veteran Colonel Tnompsom followed, and he
too repudiated the absurd idea, that because the free-
traders are essentially men of peace, therefore they
are for incontinently disbanding the whole of the
army, and breaking up the whole of our ships. After
his own quaint fashion, he thus put the question upon
its proper basis :

" All must wish the time to come when armies
and fighting men shall no longer be required; I wish
the time was arrived when we could do without sur-
geons, for instance, and I wish also the time was
come when we could dispense with lawyers.—(Loud
laughter, and applause.) Not the slightest objection
shall you find me making to the dispensing with
these classes of persons when the time shall come that
we can do without them.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed, I
will not stand upon the retention of the clergymen
when we can profitably dispense with their services.
All these are persons and offices which we must
endure; for though our object in wishing their re-
moval would be a good one, it is a question whether
we can, by doing away with them, produce what we
wish to achieve.—(Hear, hear.) Now, I have not
put it to you that it is impossible to do without war,
for lam persuaded that we cannot wholly dispense
with our armaments; but I now put to you whether
we cannot do without those costly preparations for
war which are proposed to be forced upon your
stomachs and purses."
Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. BROTHRRTON, and Mr. GEORGE
TnomPsort followed, and the meeting, which lasted
until a quarter before twelve o'clock, broke up, After
passing a vote of thanks to the Members of Parlia-
ment who bad attended it.

We regard this magnificent meeting as a pledge
given to the country that " the free-traders are alive
to the future." We trust to see many similar meetings
held in all parts of the country, as assurances to the
leaders of the free-trade party that the principles
which they have for the last seven years been incul-
cating have taken root and are bearing fruit through-
out the length and breadth of the land—as warnings
to the Protectionists that we are on our guard
and as earnests to the country that, as
on all former occasions, we have not only
always held what we have acquired, but have year by
year progressed and obtained something more, so we
intend to press forward, under the leadership of Mr.
COBDEN, from victory to victory, until every existing
monopoly of every sort and description shall be
destroyed.

The Special Commission for the county of Tippe-
rary was opened at Clonmel on Monday, the num-
ber of important cases in Limerick and Clare baying
prevented the possibility of an earlier attendance by
the Learned Judges. The total number of capital
convictions in these counties amounted to sixteen—
six in Limerick, and ten in Clare, of whom it is
supposed that eleven will suffer the extreme penalty
of the law. The legal arrangements in Tipperary
are similar to those which were adopted in the other
towns. The prosecutions are conducted by the AT-
TORNEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL, assisted by Mr.
Scorn, Q.C., and Mr. M. SAUBSE, the ordinary
Crown prosecutors for the Leinster Circuit, while
the prisoners are defended by Mr. RoLLEsTori,
an eminent barrister, who has the most ex-
tensive criminal practice on the circuit, and
who, like Mr. O'HEA, has been sent down
special on behalf of the several prisoners. Although
there are more than four hundred persons detained
in Clonmel gaol, most of them upon very serious
charges, the more important cases will only be pro-
ceeded with under the Commission, sufficient to show
the vigour and determination with which the law will
be enforced, and its penalties carried into execution

essentiallyballayn eopsptervaarlyuabboley,s as it
lids
the Tipperary Tmi
see in their own county that jurors and witnesses
will not be deterred from the conscientious discharge
of their duties by the system of intimidation and

terror that so long prevailed. We doubt not that
the gentlemen of Tipperary who have been called
upon to act on the juries, to weigh the evidence
that may be produced before them, and to
return impartial verdicts, will deserve equal com-
mendation to that which their brethren of Limerick
and Clare have so nobly merited. The conduct of
these gentlemen was, indeed, beyond all praise.
As the Lord Chief Justice stated in his admirable
charge to the grand jury at Clonmel, " They had
discharged their duty with firmness, unmoved by
fear, and unexasperated, as if all around them was
peace and repose ;" and " the evidence was given
by witnesses who spoke the truth, and spoke it
fearlessly." Their country will, indeed, have cause
to feel grateful to the men who shrunk not from
the post of danger, and who, in their position, set an
example that spread among the humbler classes, of
whom the witnesses chiefly consisted, and en-
couraged them to " feel confidence in the power
and authority of the law, and to resist
the oppression which had become intoler-
able ; to oppose the attacks of the assailants,
upon their habitations, and in many instances to
defeat those attacks and to deliver the assailants
bound into the hands of justice." These are, indeed,
encouraging circumstances, and afford favourable
auguries for the future peace and tranquillity, and
consequent prosperity and happiness, of the districts.
The illegal confederacies to which these outrages are
attributable most undoubtedly had their origin in the
agrarian code that was introduced—in the desire to
deprive the proprietors of the soil of their just rights,
and to prevent an appeal to the laws of the land by
the bloodthirsty vengeance which was taken upon
every person who ventured to have recourse thereto.
But the system of intimidation was carried further.
It was not merely landlords, or agents, or tenants who
entered into the possession of holdings from
which the farmer occupants had been ejected that
were: the victims. The sanguinary miscreants
were ready to turn their arms against even those by
whom they had been originally fostered and en-
couraged, and ready instruments were found to exe-
cute any project that could enter into the most de-
moniacal imagination, until at last the yoke could no
longer be borne, and farmers, cottiers, and labourers
found that they could have no safety under such a
system, and that all were equally interested in its
prompt and effectual suppression.
The Lord Chief Justice administered a strong
rebuke to those incendiaries who inflame the passions
of an excitable people, and think that they are justi-
fied in so doing because they add some few feeble re-
commendations against breaches of the law, or the
shedding the blood of their fellow-creatures.
His impressive words should be maturely reflected on
by Archdeacon LAFFAN, respecting whose language
there can be no dispute—language uttered in presence
of four members of the Legislature, and which no
person has ever ventured to deny. His Lordship
said—" Yes, there seems to be the spirit of demons let
loose upon the land. The spirit of vengeance rages
without control and without limit, and no wonder,
because these crimes are extenuated and palliated,
and excused; nay, more, the saying has gone forth,
the wild justice of revenge,' which has now obtained
credit and currency, as if it were a great moral truth.
Now, not to dwell upon the audacious impiety of
prompting men to arrogate, and to exercise that
which belongs only to man's MAKER—without
stopping to dwell upon the profanation of the
sacred name—the spirit of justice issuing with the
idea of revenge—see what that precept means, and
is understood to mean. It means this—that murder
is just—that rapine is just—that cruelty is just—
that crime, every crime, is just—provided only that
revenge be the motive, and its gratification the object•
Just to think that such a precept as this should have
been issued to our ignorant, turbulent, excitable
fellow-creatures. How do they understand it ? They
understand fins it was intended that it should be under-
stood. Every man becomes the judge of his own
wrongs and the avenger of his own wrongs, and
the consequences are what might have been expected.
The innocent fall by the arm of the assassin, and
the assassin, and the accessory, and the con-
spirators in their turn fall by the arm
of the law." We trust that these great truths may
sink deeply into the hearts of the agitators who foster
the evil passions of the uneducated multitude, and
that we may not again hear of persons, whose educa-
tion and position in society should have taught them
better, speaking of murder as being justifiable under
any circumstances, or that if a person was suffering,
and " a man of courage, he would go out and shoot
the first person he saw with a good coat on his back."
Another suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice
was exceedingly valuable, and will, we trust, be
adopted. He spoke of the power of combination for
evil, and recommended tbat it should be tried
what it might do for good, adding, " I
would humbly suggest the formation of asso-
ciations to preserve the peace in parishes
or lesser districts, and that to those associa-
tions every man should be admissible who chose to
become a member of it. I enter not into the details
of their operations, or the mode by which they may be
brought to bear on the suppression or prevention of
crime, but of this I am perfectly assured, that there
are no means within your power, and of those of the
friends of order and peace that are so immediately
capable of being put in execution, or are so likely to
be effective when put in execution." It is by such
means that the friends of order would, indeed, be
known, by which the rate-payers may he saved from
the heavy expenses to which they would be exposed, if
the Government should feel called upon to bring the
provisions of the late " crime and disturbance"
Act into operation within the district ; and they
would also be spared the shame and disgrace of
seeing the localities in which they reside classed
amongst those that required such stringent measures.
These recommendations should not, and we are con-
vinced will not, be neglected; and if they are acted
on in the spirit in which they were conceived, Tip-
perary will no longer maintain the bad pre-eminence
in crime for which it has unhappily been so long
distinguished.
The first trial at Clonmel has also terminated in a
capital conviction. JOHN LONERGAN, the murderer of
the late lamented Mr. Box, and brother of the gen-
tleman whose letter, heaping calumnies on the
memory of the victim of assassination, the Honour-
able Member for Limerick thought proper to read
in the House of Commons, has been found guilty, on
the clearest and most satisfactory evidence, of the
fearful crime, and is to expiate his offence by an
ignominious death on the scaffold. Shocking as it is
to witness a young man thus cut off in the prime of
life, it would be still more dreadful if murder were
permitted to stalk abroad unchecked, and innocent
blood was to be shed with impunity.

The Swiss Diet sat on the 26th, and the President
announced that Sir STRATFORD CmuslNG, having
accomplished his mission, was about to leave Swit-
zerland. The President added that he considered it
his duty to declare that the British diplomatist had
discharged his mission in the manner most honour..
able and advantageous to the real interests of Swit-
zerland.

The Diet has already commenced acting on the
advice given by Sir STRATFORD CANNI24G. They
have relieved the primitive cantons of the fine im-
posed on them, and have reduced the Federal army
to 5,000 men. The title of Pacificator will, it is
said, be bestowed on General DUFOUR.

A letter written from on board an American ship.
of-war, dated Jan. 16, off Messina, states that a fire
of artillery had been opened on the town.
A letter from Civita Vechia, of the 20th, gives as a
rumour that General MAQo had been killed at Pa-
lermo. According to this account the army possessed
only the forts. It was apprehended in Naples that
an insurrection was imminent in the Calabrias and
the Abruzzi, but the Government feared to send
away troops from Naples. The KING was using the
most conciliatory means towards the people of the
capital.
The Swabian Mercury pretends to have news
from Palermo of the 17th, to the effect that after
three days' hard fighting the insurgents had taken
the citadel, and had established a provisional Go-

Letters from Rome, of the 19th instant, announce
that Cardinal BUFFONDI, Legate at Ravenna, would

The Bank of England averages for the week, from

of the reduction in the rate of interest; the discount
business having been reduced about three quarters of a

both in bullion and unemployed notes, were again aug-

The demand for bills of exchange has increased this

in consequence lower.
There are some important arrivals announced, but the

has arrived at Southampton from the West Indies, the
Madrid from Lisbon, and the Caledonia at Liverpool,
from America.
The accounts from abroad allude to the certainty of
two or three continental loans, those for Belgium and
the Roman States being likely to come first into the
field.
There are further failures here again. Messrs.
