measurement set up on the shore of the river by the
Corporation of the City of London; and if the master

The LORD MAYOR observed that there were other
rules, which provided in an especial manner against care-
lessness or negligence of those having the care of the
lives and property of the public, and he belived and
trusted that the strict observance of the whole would
produce a very great change for the better on the great
highway of the Thames. He assured the public, that
in every case of complaint made before him, they would
find their interests zealously attended to, and there
would be no deviation from the important course he had,
from the moment he became a magistrate, determined
to follow,

WORSHIP-STREET.
George Samuel Abrahams, described as an auctioneer
and bill broker, was charged with embezzlement, &c.
Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the prosecution, said
that the first charges he was instructed to bring forward
against the prisoner were preferred by a licensed vic-
tualler named Collins, then in attendance, and were
marked with features of a very peculiar and aggravated
character. The prosecutor had formerly been the pro-
prietor of a house in Wellelose-square, called the Maho-
gany Bar, where he carried on an excellent business
until the 29th of June last, when the foundation of his
house suddenly gave way, and the entire building fell
down so instantaneously, as scarcely to leave time for the
inmates to escape with their lives. The prosecutor in
consequence of this misfortune was reduced to a state of
temporary distress and embarrassment, and several of
his friends and neighbours having proposed to get up a
subscription on his behalf, the prisoner, with whom
he had been previously rather intimately acquainted,
and who affected deeply to commiserate his situation,
volunteered his services to collect the subscriptions,
which he had since done, to the amount, as far as
could be ascertained, of at least 451., the whole of
which, with the exception of about 61., which had
been obtained from him by stratagem, he had appro-
priated to his own use. The prisoner had ever since
kept out of the way, until the preceding evening, when
he was apprehended upon another charge by Holland,
the warrant-officer of the Court, who afterwards
searched his house, and discovered therein a gold ring
and brooch, several volumes of Shakspere's plays, and
other articles, which had been since identified by Mr.
Collins, who had missed them at various times while the
prisoner was in the habit of visiting him and professing
the utmost sympathy for his unfortunate situation.
Holland, the warrant officer, produced the several
articles above referred to, which were identified by Mr.
Collins as having been taken from an apartment he had
occupied, and to which the prisoner had access while en-
gaged in collecting the subscriptions on his behalf.
On being asked if he wished to give any account of
his possession of the property, the prisoner said that the
books had been lent to him by the prosecutor himself,
and that he had purchased all the other articles in Petti-
coat-lane.
Another charge was brought against the prisoner, and
Mr. BROUGHTON said he had no hesitation in remand-
ing the prisoner until Saturday next, but had no objec-
tion to accept substantial bail for his appearance.
LAMBETH.

Edward Edwards was placed at the bar, before the
Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of attempting to defraud
Frederick Gidney, a beer-shopkeeper, in the Waterloo-
road, of half-a-sovereign. On the preceding evening the
prisoner and his companion entered the house of the
prosecutor, and called for a pint of ale, which was served
to them in the parlour. The prisoner handed to the
landlord a piece of coin, purporting to be half-a-sove-
reign, and the latter, in order to test its genuineness,
flung it ofT his nail towards the ceiling, and it disap-
peared as if by perfect magic. No person was observed
to catch it, nor was its sound heard on the tables or floor,
and the prosecutor stood in perfect amazement as to what
could have become of it. The tables, the floor, and even
the measures on the counter, were carefully examined
for the piece of coin, but in vain, it was nowhere to be
found, and its disappearance seemed a mystery. The
prisoner insisted on change for his half-sovereign,
and the landlord objected to a compliance with his
request, on the ground that he had not the coin. A good
deal of wrangling took place, during which the prisoner
left the house, and was closely watched by a Mr.
and Mrs. Wild, who had some suspicion of him, and
saw him go close to a timber-yard near by, and deposit
something in a corner, after which he returned. He
then, instead of solicitation, demanded his change, but
while blustering very loftily about his respectability, &c.,
and declaring that he should not be done out of ten shil-
lings in so foolish a manner, the parties who had watched
him returned to the house with a paper full of gilt coun-
ters, some of which closely resembled sovereigns and
half-sovereigns, which the prisoner had stowed away in
the timber-yard. This fact being made known to the
prosecutor, he at once sent out for a policeman and gave
the prisoner into his custody. Some time after, however,
a good half-sovereign was found in the bottom of a
rummer glass, in which there was a small portion of
ginger-beer.
Mr. NORTON inquired if it was possible for the half-
sovereign to have dropped into the glass in which it had
been found?
Two witnesses swore positively that it had not, and
declared it must have been dropped there by the pri-
soner or his companion with the same sleight-of-hand
dexterity with which they managed to catch the counter
resembling the half-sovereign when thrown up by the
prosecutor.
Mr. NORTON—What do you do for your living ?
Prisoner—l attend Smithfield on the horse-market
days, and get good bargains of nags for gentlemen, and
some others ask my opinion of cattle and give me a trifle.
Mr. NORTON—Are you a horsedealer, as I find you
have so described yourself in the police sheet ? Prisoner
—Not exactly a horsedealer, though I bees a tolerable
judge of a beast.
Mr. NORTON—WeII, what have you got to say to your
attempt to defraud the prosecutor of ten shillings, and
having in your possession those gilt pieces resembling
sovereigns and half-sovereigns ? Prisoner—They are
only counters to mark the game of cards with, and think-
ing there might be some bother about them, I got rid of
them ; but they are not base coin ; I'd scorn the action to
have anything to do with base coin.
Mr. NORTON—I find that there has been a bank-note
found apon you ; do yon choose to give any account as to
the manner in which you became possessed of it ? Pri-
soner—Oh, yes ; a ballad-singer gave me that, and I
had it about me for six or seven months.
The note here alluded to is one of the Bank of Hindos-
tan for 16 lees of rupees, dated 1839, and on it are writ-
ten the name of Wigram and Co., Sept. 5, '45, and Crau-
ford, Colin, and Co.
The prisoner was remanded to Saturday.
SOUTHWARK.
William Barton was brought before Mr. Cottingham,
charged with stealing a watch from the person of
Mr. Frederick Arthur, in a tavern in Duke-street,
Westminster.
The complainant stated that on the preceding day he
went to dine at a tavern is Duke-street, and that after
dinner he laid his head on the table and went to sleep.
When he awoke, which was in about an hour afterwards,
he discovered that his watch had been taken out of his
waistcoat pocket, the guard having been cut evidently
with a sharp instrument.
A valuable watch was here produced by Cox, shopman
to Mr. Tarrant, the pawnbroker, of Charlotte-street,
which the complainant identified as his property, and
to be the same of which he had been robbed as above
described.
Cox stated that on the preceding day the prisoner
came into his employer's shop, and producing the
watch, wanted him to lend 30s. on it in pledge. Wit-
ness observing that it was a valuable watch, and sus-
pecting that the prisoner had come dishonestly by it,
questioned him on the subject, and his reply at first was,
that it was his own property, but he afterwards ad-
mitted that it belonged to a captain in the army, who,
having expended all his ready cash, had, therefore,
employed him (the prisoner) to pledge his watch to raise
the wind. Witness suspecting the truth of all that had
been asserted on the occasion by the prisoner, gave
him into custody, and soon afterwards the owner of the
watch came forward and claimed it as his property.
In reply to Mr. COTTINGIIAM, the complainant said
that while he was at dinner in the tavern, he had a
distinct recollection of seeing the prisoner enter the
room, and he had no doubt he afterwards availed himself
of the circumstance of his falling asleep, to plunder him
of his watch.

The prisoner was committed for trial,
Mr. Thomas Walker, described as a merchant, was
charged with committing a violent assault on a Mr. Pad-
more, of High-street, Marylebone.
The complainant said that some time since he ad-
vanced the sum of 581. to a clergyman's widow in
Stamford-street, to enable her to purchase some fur-
niture for a house which she was about to let out in
ready-furnished lodgings. At the period of handing
over the loan, he obtained from the lady a bill of sale
by which he was empowered to dispose of the furniture
if she failed in repaying the sum advanced to her.
He had of late made repeated applications for the

money on account of the impropei. manner in which
the affairs of the widow's house were conducted, and
finding that they were unavailing, he therefore
on that day put the bill of sale into execution,
by taking a cart to the house for the purpose
of removing the furniture. While he was superin-
tending the removal of the goods, the defendant, who
acted on the occasion as the widow's champion, rushed
upon him, seized him by the collar, struck him violently,
and threatened to annihilate him if he dared presume
to touch the furniture, and his conduct was so outra-
geous, that he was compelled to call a policeman and give
him into custody. The complainant here produced the
bill of sale authorising him to dispose of the lady's goods
in the event of the non-payment of the money he alleged
he had advanced to her.

Mr. COTTINGHAM asked the defendant why he acted
with such violence towards the complainant, who ap-
peared to have been justified by law in having acted as he
had done, in the removal of the goods.
The defendant, who seemed considerably excited, ad-
mitted the assault, but declared the provocation was so
great, and he felt so thoroughly disgusted at the conduct
of the complainant, that he could not control his temper,
and certainly did give hira a shaking.
After some recrimination,
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, as the defendant had admitted
having assaulted the complainant, he should call upon
him to enter into his own recognisance in 401., and find
two sureties of 201. each to keep the peace.

Five men were brought from the Wandsworth Union
admittedng ont theo w
orpkr.evious even-
ing, and were supplied with supper, bed, and breakfast,
after which they were required to work four hours at a'
hand corn-mill. They all worked for an hour and then
refused to do any more, alleging that it was a sufficient

amount of labour for six ounces of bread and an ounce of
cheese. This is the usual excuse made by these men; but
the fact is, that a prison is more preferable to these starv-
ing wretches than the union, the dietary is more ample
and nutritious, and it is for the sole purpose of being
placed in confinement that they refuse to work, and
destroy their clothing.
Mr. PAINTER inquired into the condition of the men,
the majority of whom were agricultural labourers. After
pointing out to them the labour they would have to do in
prison would be much severer than that they were re-
quired to do at the union, he asked them if they would
go back and finish their task?
The prisoners positively refused to do so, and said
they preferred being sent to prison.
Mr. PAINTER said it was a most alarming fact, that
for several months past he had, by reference to his book,
been committing casual paupers to gaol, at the rate of
2,000 a year. The increase in the county-rate would
consequently be enormous, and would no doubt be felt
very severely. He saw no remedy for this state of
things. He had tried heavy punishments and light
punishments, but it was all to no purpose. It was evi-
dent that some remedy must be adopted, but what that
remedy should be he was at a loss to say. He trusted
that public attention would be drawn to the fact.
Sergeant Payne, 11 V, observed that one and all of
the prisoners who were brought to the station-house,
said they preferred being in prison than in the union.
Mr. PA YNTER—This ought not to be the case; a poor
man ought not to dread the workhouse more than a
prison, nor should he be treated, when he goes there,
worse than those who have committed a crime. I have
no alternative in this case but to commit the prisoners
for fourteen days each.
The prisoners were then committed.
THAMES.
James Brown, an Irishman, upwards of sixty
years of age, was charged, on a Custorn-house informa-
tion, with smuggling 15 lbs. of foreign manufactured
tobacco, by which he had incurred a penalty of 1001.
It appeared that an officer named Dean had informa-
tion that certain persons were "carrying and convey-
ing" smuggled tobacco, and he met the prisoner, who
answered the description of one of them, in the Com-
mercial-road on Tuesday evening with a small bundle,
which appeared very heavy for its bulk, in his hand.
The prisoner was smoking a cigar at the time, and
Dean asked him what he had got in the bundle. He
made no reply to this, but attempted to drop it behind
him. The officer seized it, and on finding it contained
tobacco very closely compressed, he took him into
custody, and again asked him what it contained, and
where he obtained it. The prisoner made some very
evasive answers, but at last admitted that the bundle
contained tobacco, and that a man who had promised
to meet him at Whitechapel Church gave him the
bundle to carry. He was conveyed to the station-
house, and upon searching him, six pounds of com-
pressed tobacco was found in his pockets. The bundle
contained nine pounds.
After some further proceedings,
Mr. BRODERIP said, my duty is to sentence you to pay
a fine of 100/. to the Queen, and be imprisoned until it is
paid. I have no power of mitigation, but the Commis-
sioners of her Majesty's Customs have, and if you can
make out a case for their merciful consideration, it will
be attended to.

James Hornblower, a shipwright, was charged with
committing a breach of the peace and using threatening
language towards Mr. Thomas Gaster, of Cotton-street,
Poplar.
The complainant stated that he was foreman ship-
wright in a ship-building yard at Blackwall. The pri-
soner had been occasionally employed in the yard, about
eighteen or twenty months ago; but some doubts having
been raised as to his sanity, he was discharged from the
yard. Within the last three weeks the prisoner had
again waited upon him, and asked for employment, but
as he appeared to be very excited, and not fit to be on
the premises, he refused to employ him, on which the
prisoner called him by abusive names. In addition to
that, the prisoner told a workman on the premises that
he intended to terminate the existence of the witness
and his own as soon as possible, and that in the course
of another week he would hear of something very strange.
The prisoner said ho bad been out of employ some
time, and had suffered great privations.
Mr. Gaster, from whom employment was sought, said
the facts relating to the prisoner were very painful in-
deed. The man was at one time in good circumstances,
and he was an excellent workman, and would be fully
employed if he was of sound mind, but unfortunately he
was insane. It was finally arranged that the prisoner
should be detained in the custody of the gaoler of the
Court until five o'clock, to give his friends an opportunity
of consulting with the parish.
A few minutes after the magistrate had left the Court,
Mr. Kemp, relieving officer of Poplar, accompanied by
Dr. Caillie, Mr. Gaster, and others, came to the Court
for the purpose of certifying to the lunacy of the man,
and placing the necessary papers before the magistrate
for his signature. On learning that Mr. Broderip had
left the Court, they consulted with Mr. Symons, the
chief clerk, who said there was no alternative but to
send the alleged lunatic away in the van to the House of
Correction, but he would be liberated, on the 20th inst.,
when the sessions commenced, if no articles of the peace
were exhibited against him, and the friends of the pri-
soner could then take ulterior measures to prevent him
doing harm to himself and others.

COURT OF LIEUTENANCY,
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday a Court of Lieutenancy was held at Guild-
hall, to take into consideration a letter from the Right
Hon. Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the
Home Department, communicating her Majesty's com-
mands for the completion of the permanent staff of the
regiment of Royal London Militia; the retirement of the
present, and the appointment of another adjutant, the
filling up of the vacant commissions in the regiment, and
on other business ; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in
the chair.
There were present, besides the Lord Mayor Alder-
men Sir C. S. Hunter, the Colonel of the Royal 'London
Militia, Farebrother, Wilson, Sir W. Magnay, Bart.,
Sir Chapman Marshall, Hooper, W. Hunter, and Challis;
also Sir Moses Montefiore and a large number of the
Common Councilmen, who are officers in the Lieutenancy.
Mr. Smith, the clerk, read the letter of Sir James
Graham, which stated that it was the intention of her
Majesty to call out the militia early in the ensuing year,
for which reason the Lieutenancy was requested to make
as early a return to the War-office as possible of the
officers necessary for the performance of the duties of
the regiment.
The list of the names and residences of the present
officers was then read, and several vacancies were de-
clared.

RATING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S
FARM AT WINDSOR.
WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—In consequence of
a memorial addressed to Prince Albert on the subject of
the alleged claims of .the parish upon his Royal Highness
for arrears of poor rates, amounting to 2281., due upon
Flemish Farm, signed by the whole of the parochial au-
thorities, the Prince commanded a case to be drawn up,
setting forth the nature of his Royal Highness's occu-
pation of the farm in question, as well as the grounds
upon which the payment was resisted, and submitted to
the law officers of the Crown for their opinion thereon.
It may be recollected, that at the last vestry meeting
which took place at Windsor, resolutions were unani-
mously carried that his Royal Highness, having a bene-
ficial occupation in Flemish Farm, was justly liable to
pay all rates and taxes due for the said property, and
that the Prince be applied to by the collector to pay the
arrears then due.
This morning Mr. Darvill, solicitor (who had been
professionally engaged in the matter on the part of the
parish), accompanied by Mr. Thomas Adams, the mayor
and vicar's warden, Messrs. John Clode, jun., and In-
galton, churchwardens ; and Messrs. T. Cleave, Noke,
and Chisholm, overseers, waited upon Mr. Anson, the
Prince's Private Secretary at the Castle, agreeably to
the request of Mr. Anson, for the purpose of having
communicated to them the opinion which had been ob-
tained by the Prince from the law officers of the Crown,
as well as to be informed of the final determination of
his Royal Highness. Mr. Anson informed the parochial
authorities that cases had been submitted to Sir Fre-
derick Thesiger, and also to Sir Thomas Wilde, and
that both those eminent legal authorities agreed in opi-
nion that the Prince Consort, under the circumstances
which had been brought before them, although the farm
was tilled and a large portion of it used for fattening
the cattle of his Royal Highness, was not liable to be
rated, inasmuch as the property in question belonged to
the Crown. It was further stated to the parish officers
that the Crown had granted no lease of the farm to the
Prince Consort, and that his Royal Highness occupied
the land rent free. It was also denied by Mr. Anson
that the Prince had beneficially occupied the farm ; and
the parish officers, it was submitted on the part of the
Prince, must prove that his Royal Highness really had
a beneficial occupation before they could legally recover
the amount claimed by them for arrears of rates.
Mr. Anson declined to furnish the parish with a copy
of the case submitted to Sir Frederick Thesiger and Sir
Thomas Wilde, together with their opinion thereon, in
consequence of the parish, on their part, not being pro-
vided with a case and opinion also. It was stated, how-
ever, that if the parish had submitted a case to counsel,
and obtained an opinion, there would have been no ob-
jection, on the part of the Prince Consort's advisers, to
have exchanged copies of the same; but this not having
been done, no copies could be furnished to the parish of
the case and opinion by which his Royal Highness would
be gnided in resisting the claims of the parish. It was
also stated, that it was the opinion of Sir Thos. Wilde,
that if the parish proceeded to extremities in enforcing
the payment of the alleged arrears, and any future rates
that might be made, by levying npou the property upon
the farm, it would find itself in great error.
A vestry meeting has been called by the parish officers
to make another rate (a large sum being demanded im-
mediately by the guardians of the Windsor Union),
when the whole of the correspondence which has passed
between the legal adviser of the parish and the Princo
Consort, as well as the determination which has been
come to by the Prince, will be laid before the inhabitants,
in order that they may decide upon their future pro-
ceedings in the matter.
There are several persons who have not paid the last
rate made as long since as September last. Summonses
against the defaulters have not been applied for, it being
considered advisable, before such a step was resorted to,
that the intentions of the Prince Consort should be first
ascertained.

A Committee was appointed to take the subject of the
Secretary of State's letter into consideration, and to in-
quire into the present state of the staff of the regiment,
and the vacancies to be filled up, and to report to the
next Court of Lieutenancy, to be held in tke course of
the present month.
The Committee consists of all the Aldermen present,
together with.,Sir Moses Mentefiore, Deputies Finnes
and Allan, Mr. James Anderton, Mr. Richard Lambert
Jones, and Mr. D. W. Wire.

There are, we are given to understand, sonic corpora-
tion members of the Court of Lieutenancy who, although
in consequence of a remarkable physical debility they
are wholly incapacitated from performing the most in-
significant duties, show great reluctance to resign. To
those officers a remonstrance will be sent by their bre-
thren calling upon them to resign, and if such remon-
strance prove ineffectual, then immediate measures will
be adopted to strike them off the list as incapable and
refractory.

The above table shows that there are building and out-
fitting en the Clyde at present 37 vessels, amounting in the
aggregate to 18,027 tons. Of these 2G are iron steamers,
collectively amounting to 14,137 tons, and 5,580-horse power,
the residue being timber ships, amounting to 3,890 tons.
Valuing the timber vessels at 20/. per ton, the iron steamers
at 25/., and the machinery at 40/. per horse power, over
head, the total value of these vessels, when ready, and
equipped for sea, will amount to 654,425/,
In the event of a war with America, or any other nation,
such statistics speak volumes.

A THIEF OUTDONII.—SINGULAR DETECTION.--On
Friday night a man went into a pawnbroker's shop, and
offered a -metal tea-pot in pledge. The broker, upon
opening the lid of the tea-pot to examine it, discovered
a quantity of bank notes. Neither did their appear-
ance escape the notice of the thief, who imme-
diately snatched the pot from the pawnbroker's hand,
and endeavoured to make his escape, but was followed
by the broker, and given into custody; and upon being taken
to the police-office, there appeared to be sixteen notes of 1/.
each in the teapot, which had never been observed by the
prisoner until he offered it in pledge. The prisoner stated
that he had stolen the article from his mother.—Caledonian
Mercury.

GREAT FREE TRADE MEETING
AT NE WCASTLE- UPON-TYNE.
The largest in-door meeting ever held in Newcastle-
upon-Tyne assembled on Monday evening, to receive
Messrs. Cobden and Bright, as a deputation from the
Anti-Corn-law League. The place selected for the ga-
thering was the Corn Exchange, which is capable of
holding nearly 5,000 persons. Every portion of the vast
area was filled, considerable numbers having arrived
from Sunderland, Darlington, Shields, and the other
towns in the vicinity.
About seven o'clock Mr. Bright and a large body of
gentlemen took up their position on the platform. Mr
Cobden arrived soon afterwards, and was welcomed with
loud cheers.
Alderman Sir John Fife was called to the chair, and
introduced
Mr. BRIGHT, who was received with loud cheers. He
commenced by stating that every one must be convinced
that, at this moment, some great question was exciting
the minds of almost the whole population of this coun-
try. A meeting of so many thousands could not have
been assembled in Newcastle unless there were some
question which the inhabitants believed to be of vital
importance to themselves and the country. They ad •
vocated the principle that every man shout! be at liberty
to employ his industry and skill fairly, and that when
he produced anything as the result of that industry and
skill, he be allowed to trade in all the markets of the
world without the leave or hindrance of the law. They,
as manufacturers, did not ask for free trade for the benefit
of Lancashire, Yorkshire, or Newcastle, but they asked
for free trade for the benefit of the landowners, of the
farm labourers, and of every class of the community.
They wanted a fair field and no favour, that every man
might make the best use for himself of the power and
capacity with which God endowed him, and that no law
be allowed to step in to interfere with the free working
of his industry. There were two reasons why the)
objected to the principles of the protectionists. The
one was, that it was utterly impossible that they could be
applied to every man; and the other was, that, if applied,
they would be injurious to every man. There was no
law or Act of Parliament to raise the price of goods in
foreign countries. The cotton trade had no protection,
and the system could not be applied to a trade that ex-
ports abroad. It was unjust to the manufacturer and
workman, if the price of food was raised by law, while
what they produced was allowed to remain at its natural
level. The law extorts from the manufacturer part of
his capital, and from the labourer part of his toil, in
order that the owners of the soil might obtain more for
what they sell than they have any right to. [Mr. Bright
was compelled rather abruptly to conclude, owing to
hoarseness. During the delivery of his address he was
repeatedly and loudly applauded.]
Mr. COBDEN was received with enthusiastic and pro-
longed cheering. When this had subsided, he said—
Gentlemen, this meeting makes me almost fancy I am
in the Free-trade Hall in Manchester. I think it is the
largest meeting under cover that I have ever addressed
out of that hall ; and although it is but a bad prepara-
tion for an address to such an audience as this, to have
travelled two hundred miles in the cold to visit you, yet
I think I must be almost an icicle if I was not warmed
by such a reception as you have given me.—(Applause.)
Gentlemen, you are not brought together in this manner
without a pretty unanimous conviction that the time is
come for a great and united demonstration to help those
who are willing to put down this law, or to compel those
who are unwilling to do it.—(Cheering.) And how
different are our meetings to the meetings of the protec-
tionists! At Bury St. Edmunds, in Suffolk, they ven-
tured to call a public meeting, the mayor in the chair, and
there—in the heart of the most purely agricultural
county in the kingdom—an amendment was carried in
favour of the total repeal by 20 to I.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) And yet these gentlemen, when they have got
together in their protection meetings, are always telling
us the country is with them—that the British lion is
rousing itself in all its majesty; but they take care al-
ways to talk when the British lion is not looking at
them.—(Laughter.) The aristocracy and landowners
who attend the protectionist meetings are men of mea-
sure—men originally of college education—men not like
us, brought up in counting-houses or warehouses—but
men whose whole lives have been at their disposal to
gain knowledge and to cultivate their natural talents :
how is it that these men stand up in the face of their
fellow-countrymen and make such lamentable exhibi-
tions of themselves? Why, the fact is simply this—
their cause is so bad that I defy the best of counsel
to be able to say anything in its favour. They have
only to resort to that old standing stratagem of which
all have heard—l mean that resorted to by a lawyer
who took a brief to counsel endorsed "No merits,
please to abuse the plaintiff's attorney." Now, as they
have no merits, they take care to abuse the League,
which is the country's attorney in this case. They not
only abuse us, but they misrepresent us. They tell the
country that we have all sorts of designs in view, which
I never contemplated at all events. They tell us we
want to deprive the landowners of protection, and to
keep protection for ourselves. Why, we have never
held a meeting of the League— a great aggregate meet-
ing, I mean—but we have always unanimously passed a
resolution, " That whilst we seek free trade in corn, we
are willing and anxious that free trade should be ap-
plied to every description of manufacture."—(Hear.)
That was our first resolution in the winter of 1838, and
we have repeated that resolution every year since. And
now I'll oiler them a bargain. If one of these protec-
tionists will only move in the House of Commons, at the
beginning of the next session, for a free trade in corn,
I'll get up to move, as a rider, free trade in all kinds of
manufactures.—(Hear, hear.) Having made that offer
to them, let us see if they will misrepresent us in future.
My friend Mr. Bright has alluded briefly to the fact,
that manufactures are not, and cannot be protected. A
very large portion of our cotton goods is sold abroad,
and goods sold abroad can have no protection from our
Acts of Parliament. The very fact that we send goods
abroad is a proof that we have more made than we can
sell at home ; and our manufactures, therefore, cannot
be protected. Well, then, all the great manufacturing
interests of the kingdom are altogether unprotected, and
incapable of being protected. And I would ask, if it is
likely that the vast body of the industrious classes en-
gaged in these manufactures will ever submit to any
small portion of the community being protected at our
expense ?—(Loud cheers.) lam glad the protectionists
have been brought to this. They cannot sustain their
cause whilst they talk only of protecting themselves.
They dare not face us in Parliament again on that ground ;
they have been too soundly drubbed for that. Well, let
us go a little further, and ask, are the people that are pro-
tected by their laws better off than those that are left to
their unaided energy, and who have to find a market for
their produce in the open world ? Who are the people in
this country that are receiving the lowest wages ? Pre-
cisely that portion of the community for whose benefit
these protection societies pretend to exist. The agri-
cultural labourers, who are getting 75., Bs., or 9s. as
week—aye, in Hertfordshire and parts of Somersetshire,
6s. a-week. The unskilled labourers in the manufactur-
ing districts, who are working for Russians, Poles,
Americans, and Chinese, are, as a rule, without excep.
tion, getting 50 per cent. more wages than those who
are at work for these protected interests.—(Applause.)
Aye, and whilst these men are pretending to maintain
this protection for the benefit of the peasantry, the pea-
santry are running away from their protectors, and
coming to our manufacturing districts, seeking better
wages and better employment from the hands of those
who have no protection; and who are making for the
open markets of the world. I do not profess to be
particularly democratic. I would have no objection
to changes going on in this or any other country gra-
dually ; but positively I begin to fear that these men
by their folly—their absolute silliness and stupidity—
will precipitate changes faster than any man who likes
ordinary movement would wish. I'll tell you why. Men
are not prepared to leave their counting-houses and ware-
houses, and carry on the affairs of state instead of them.
We have plenty that are able to do it. We have tens of
thousands and hundreds of thousands of men in our
workshops, in our warehouses, in our counting-houses,
ready, and fit, and willing to do the nation's work better
than these maundering silly people do it ; but then they
have other engagements on hand, and cannot do it at an
hour's notice.—(Laughter and applause.) What I should
like to see would be a movement amongst the wiser part
of the aristocracy to save the rest. I would begin with
the Dukes, for the Dukes seem to be the most infatuated
class. There are the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke °filch-
mond, the Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Newcastle,
and the Duke of Buckingham. Why, these five Dukes
are enough to ruin the aristocracy.—(Laughter.) If
you had five shipowners in Newcastle so infatuated, so
silly, so positively incapable as these five Dukes are,
why the shipping trade would leave your port. And
then the Marquises—the next in rank—seem to be just
next in folly. I observe that the Marquis of Salisbury
has been having a meeting in Hertfordshire, at which he
talked about the League being a great unconstitutional
body, which, if allowed to go on, would deprive them of
all their rights, and liberties, and franchises. That was
in Hertfordshire; and all this scolding is simply because
the League recommend the middle and industrious classes
to possess themselves of 40s. freeholds in the counties.
Now directly I had read the speech of the Marquis of
Salisbury, I wrote to a friend to buy me a 40s. freehold
in Hertfordshire. I'll be on the list for Hertfordshire
next year, and I will entreat all my friends, all good
leaguers, to follow my
example and qualify for it. We'll
very soon show the Marquis of Salisbury how easy it is
to send him back to his privacy, and just leave him as
much power over the representation of Hertfordshire as
any man wearing a round frock upon his estate. What
we have done in South Lancashire we can do in Hertford-
shire. What we have done in the West Riding we'll do
in Buckinghamshire; and the object of our corning here
to-night is to talk to you a little about this mode of setting
the aristocracy in their right position, by taking political
power out of their hands, and putting it into the hands
of people who will use it more for the benefit of the
state, and consequently, ultimately more for the benefit
of these Dukes and Marquises, and their successors. I
do not think that in this part of the country you are at
all aware of the power that is slumbering, and of which
you ought to have availed yourselves long ago. I believe
there is no county which affords so many facilities for
getting votes as the adjoining county of North Durham.
You may qualify there for 30L ; you may even buy a
freehold for 201. Any number of qualifications may be
had in North Durham for 301., or from that to 36/. Bear
in mind that we do not ask you to give 30/. for a vote.
We only ask a man to invest 301. in a property which will
bring Eleven or eight per cent. interest, instead of putting
it into the Bank, or in the savings-bank, where it would
bring only three or three-and-a-half per cent. interest.
And bear in mind, when a man has saved his 20/., 30/,
or 401., and invested it in real property, he has what is
commonly called a " stake in the country," he feels that
he has something to lose, ho feels that he is bound to take
counsel in what he does when he gives his vote, that he
won't injure his own property ; and it is by such a class
of men as this that, in the enlightened state of this age,
I should like to see the political power of this country
wielded.—(Hear, hear.) When this 40s. freehold fran-
chise was created, more than five centuries ago, 40s, a

Bill
year of income was equal to 201. a year now, bea bto
the progress of time the value of the precious metals e,
been depreciated. I see that at some of the late p 1•0,/
tion meetings they have been talking of altering lag
franchise. I only say, I wish we may catch them try.„
to do this.—(General cheering.) We'll have such !rtcrose
for 40s. freeholds directly anybody gets up in the n to
of Commons to propose it. We'll have every tlnstie
get a 40s. freehold to defend the rest, as soon as t 01
talked of.—(Renewed applause.) We have not rit ily
40,0001. to spend it in Manchester. We have lirocak.
nothing to do there. Manchester, and Salford, and to be
port, and South Lancashire, require no more inupeY holt
spent upon them, for no bread taxer would dare to s,,i,
face to those constituencies. Our object in raising ituil
money is to get a guarantee fund, for that is villees to
amounts to. We call upon the country to guarantee to
us, the Council of the League, 250,0001., if warite,e4
fight this battle to a successful issue. We had b's, •
nearly 75,0001. put down in Manchester when I ieitio
terday, and we shall get the rest. We don't come
ro
to beg money. I would not give one per cent. to ges tkie
tee the whole sum in our exchequer. We heircd.
guarantee fund to show to our opponents that, if 13e
fe,
sary, we can fight this battle for another five Y',9 e
stO
spending 50,0001. a year; and that would enable `:ttee
plant an efficient organisation—a qualification comma ,
—in every district of every county in the kingloot
(Applause.) Lord Morpeth is walking over the
ye
Riding.--(Tremendous cheering.) He is walking :00.
after one year's registration by the League. Our °rbreo
nents say they do not fight it because there is to
by
general election soon, and then they say, th,e,Y hove
show us what they can do. Why, we she" "tlii
two thousand more upon the register before bo
30th of January.—(Loud cheers.) And now I s tbe

power you possess, if I don't leave behind s,og

when we are gone. lam told that there are peuPle ;gb,

to put his name on that muster-roll which can al°,na„, i

person in Durham, who tells me that he has eight ° b•
on the register. There's a patriarch for you.—(9
ter.) Now, how many scores and hundreds a ovno
chanics are there in this and the neighbouring AD'
who can easily possess the franchise. You IA
change the complexion of the register in these e°lll3
and before the 30th of January too. You must nr,;-010
committees, canvass your neighbours, put advertiserto
into your papers, and over your committee-1.1/-4
have a sign, inscribed in large letters, ~ Free t'

be there, and be sure that you employ none but , to.
free trade lawyers. We are going into Cumberland t.
morrow—a number of our friends are at work there /
ready. Then we shall visit that snug little pocket co tillmee
of Lord Londsdale's--Westmoreland. In 01den,,%-of
there used to be great battles there between P," 01,
Brougham and Lord Lonsdale, but Lord Lonschmetbeir
ways beat Brougham. Both parties used to get, Le' Al
friends in other parts to qualify for the county, and t+lo
LonFdale cannot complain, therefore, if we now 11'1'0
thousand voters to the register. In Lancashire, well
Francis Egerton and Mr. Entwisle know right
tyer
how they stand on the register. Lord Francis v„rted
ton knows that it is as impossible for him to be el'''tlf
with the present register, as it would be for hip, led
to the moon. Of course, then, he tells Sir Robert aii
this. Sir Robert Peel knows what is going on, 9/1,,,, 0
influenced just as much by it as he would be '7O
election. I have been a year and a half workingt.or
question, and I am convinced that this county gat stet
tion movement is a leverage by whieh we can trap for
the power of the monopolist landlords utterly 511,,,00
ever into the hands of the middle and industrious en ill
of this country. I should despair of ever succeedilieve
this question by anything short of a physical force tiioo
lution, unless I saw in this 40s. freehold qualifiet fe
the means of doing it. This is the argument whieleiri
are furnishing to Sir Robert Peel. If these mell ii be
next session—as I predict they will yield—it 'R'l died
because they know we have the power to force 'ter
to yield if they attempt to procrastinate the °tot
ment of this question. I say I have no doubt , tits
they will yield next session. I don't know tb.„.5,i DI

We were never a united Opposition before. I dee`ii,,ol3l
you most solemnly, that up to within the last six 10-,0
I have been more afraid of the Whigs than of the .I°. 00
Not that I think worse of those who are nearer 11401
some points than of those who are further off; but .lold
afraid that if they proposed a compromise, there w" itt
be a disposition in many parts to coincide with theteo
order to keep them in power. But all that is past' ..oo'

If Sir R. Peel does not go straight, then the soonerrog
find him in a minority the better. If he does not boor
forward a full measure, he'll not live through the or
sion. With two hundred men opposed to him in itc„l3'
pact body, and—leaving myself out of the quests", it
comprising nine-tenths of the talent of the Netist;eil
,
is utterly impossible for his Government to 'los
through the next session, unless he takes a CO id
which will secure to him the support of the colllUtitY
this question. If Sir R. Peel proposes to abolish 111
corn and provision laws, I'll cling to him as faitbZbe
until he has done his work, as I would to Lord '',;ecr
Russell, or anybody else.—(Applause.) The Hon• vol
tleman concluded his address, by briefly expressings,eo
thanks for the cordial reception which had been Wail
to him, and sat down amidst cheering, which contifr
for a considerable period. by
A resolution, expressive of thanks to Messrs. Ccdi

present to carry their recommendation into effeeScie
every means in their power, was then proposed, and

fying the Skin and Complexion ; and Rowland's Odurit ;or,
Pearl Dentifrice, is invaluable f ,r its beautifying and Pre 4r
vative effects on the Teeth and Gums. The august patr°':it,o
conceded by our gracious Queen, and the several Soy's'?
of Europe, together with the beauties which adorn the cif W
of princely and regal magnificence, and the confirtnatioStio
experience of the infallible efficacy of these creative renclifso
specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and
them a celebrity unparalleled.
