MR. HENRY SMITH (from America) begs to
return his heartfelt thanks for the very liberal patronage he
has everywhere received in this great metropolis. Gratified by such
manifestations of approbation, he will fulfil his engagements to the
public regardless of a prosecution which Mr. Henry Russell has
thought proper to institute against him for singing songs which
he ()Ir. Russell) assumes to be his own exclusive property, notwith-
standing the copyright having been sold both in England and
America! Mr. Smith begs, therefore, respectfully to solicit the
patronage of his friends and the public, the better to enable him suc-
cessfully to meet Mr. Russell in a Court of Justice, and thereby put
down this attempt at monopoly.

MR. HENRY SMITH (from America) will
give his Vocal Entertainment at the City Lecture Theatre,
Milton-street, this Evening, WEDNESDAY, Jan. 21, and FRIDAY
Evening, Jan. 23 ; at the Institution, Great Smith-street, Westmin-
ster, 011 MONDAY Evening, Jan. 26 ; and at the Southwark Institu-
tion, Borough-road, on FRIDAY Evening, Jan. 30. Admission IS. ;

yet naturally repellant of rain.
In the neighbourhood of the extensive Warerooms, 114, Regent-
street, a few small shops are no far unprinetpled as to assume a
similarity of name, intending to impose upon strangers some trashy
substitute. Messrs. Nicoll think it due to their own reputation thus
to caution the public, and to suggest that a copy of the Address be
preserved ; and they further oiler a Reward of Fifty Pounds for the
detection of a Positive Infringement.

Black Llama Cloth, from its soft elastic nature, is well adapted for
Evening Dress Coats—to be had may of the Patentees.

I. All animal bodies consist of fluids met solids.
2. 'While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids.
3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed.
4. The fluids contained in ths human body are four times the
weight of the solids.
5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others
are derived.
6. The blood not only repairs every Dart of the human machine,
but also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo-
sited in the intestines, previous to bell tg expelled along with the
excrement. •
7. The blood is the life—the primum inoblle—the first agent—
from which all others derive their origin.
8. Health depends upon the purity of the Wood.
9. The purity of the blood depends upon i:ts having free outlets fin
its decayed particles.
10. Disease is induced by the choking ui ) of these outietn in the
bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous or, the inner
surface of the intestines, &c.

11. This accumulation is occasioned bey' nitythilvc that weakens the
circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefig by- tbq 'poisonous drugs arid
bad treatment of the faculty.

12. The impurities thus detained in the "blood occaalon every spe-
cies of disease, according to the quail or ae the humour, or the parti-

MBETJNG AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR.

A very numerous meeting Of the inhabitants 4sf West-
minster was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for
the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the total and
immediate repeal of the corn-laws. On the platform we
observed Howard Elphinstone, Esq., M.P., the Hon.
Mr. Bouverie, Sir De Lacy Evans, Milner Gibson, Esq.,
&e. &c. Mr. Elphinstone was voted unanimously to the
chair, and was greeted with loud cheers.
The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, this great public
meeting has been called together for the purpose of
enabling the inhabitants of this great metropolitan
enngtati a sufficiency of food. Withves, it is my duty to read to
borough to express their opinion of the impolicy and
injustice of those laws which now prevent the people of
yEr
eongugalraldentdtteorfsr youroha torbehtpdarvienesi
been received from them. The
first is from Mr. Leader. [Here the Chairman read a
letter from that gentleman, dated the 20th instant, at
Calais, acknowledging an invitation from the West-
minster Reform Club, to attend the meeting, but stating
that it was oat of his power do so, at the same time ex-
pressing his hostility to the corn-laws. The Chairman
also read letters from the Hon. Captain Rota, Lord
Robert Grosvenor, Mr. Hawes, M.P., Sir W. Clay, arm
Colonel P. Thompson, to a similar effect, and expressing
their intention of voting for the object of the 'fleeting in
their places in Parliament.] Gentlemen, I must say I
think that when we look at the present great meeting, and
when we know that other equally large meetings have
been held in almost every borough in the kindgom, We
must congratulate ourselves on the great progress that
has been made on this important question ; and every
thinking man, unfettered by prejudices, and who has
paid attention to the events daily occurring,
must conclude that the corn laws are destined

to speedy annibilation.—(Cheers.) We have come to
the conclusion that every man has a right to purchase
food in those markets which he may conceive the most
expedient. I believe the people also understand the
principle of free trade, and justly consider that taxes
should be imposed for her Majesty's revenue; and not to
fill the pockets of protectionists.—(Hear, bear.) It
must be equally clear that the revenue must suffer if
the principle of excluding articles produced in another
country be universally adopted. For instance, in the
case of wheat. When there are 18,000.000 quarters

produced at home, and but 2,000,000 imported, it
puts 5,000,0001. in the pockets of the landlords, averag-
ing the duty at ss. per quarter.—(Hear, hear.) It is
from a knowledge of the injustice of these laws, that we

complain of their existence.—(Hear, hear.) I think that
the people of England have a full right to ask, and not
accept less than, the total repeal of these corn-laws,
which have pressed so heavily on the happiness and in-
dustry of the community.—(Loud cheers.) There
is no doubt that there is a great political
crisis at hand, but I have too great confidence in the

good sense of the people of this country to he apprehen-
siVe of the result; and Sir Robert Peel may rely on the

support of the liberal Members in the House, if any mea-
sure he may propose on this subject be a good measure.
But I trust that there will be no mutilation of the prin-
ciple we advocate, and that we shall obtain, not a half,
but the whole, of what we require.—(Hear, and cheers.)
With this opinion, I feel satisfied that we may look for-
ward with the utmost confidence that these laws will be
shortly swept from the statute-book.—(Great cheering.)
I now appeal to the good sense of the meeting, to give
every gentleman who may think fit to address you a full
and patient hearing; and I rely on you to support me in
the place which you have done me the honour to assign
me.—(Cheers.)
Mr. M. GIBBON said it was with much satisfaction that
he came to their meeting that night.—(Hear.) He was
no stranger to them, but a resident in Westminster, and
an elector of their borough—(hear)—therefore he felt
great pleasure in having the honour to propose a resolu-
tion for their adoption, which he would read to them.
[The resolution was to the effect that it was proved, by
undoubted evidence. that several millions of the agricul-

tural population in Ireland, as well as in parts of Great
Britain, were fed chiefly on potatoes; that it was obvious,
when a thousand persons were added daily to their popu-
lation, that an increase of employment was demanded,
and that the corn-laws had failed to accomplish that ob-
ject.]—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the first part of
the resolution, they did not require the authority of Dr.
Marsham for the fact, nor did it admit of argument or
discussion to demonstrate, that population was increasing
every day, for it was established by census that
the population did increase at the rate of a thousand
a day. Some time back there was an eminent man, who
had devoted himself to these matters, who stated that
population did not increase.—(A laugh.) But now that
matter was set at rest. With respect to the second part
of the resolution, it was ascertained that a great portion
of the people, in England as well as Ireland, were living
on potatoes. He did not mean to assert that the corn-
laws were solely instrumental in producirg these evils,
and reducing the country to the melancholy condition in
which they found it.—(Hear.) They did not say that
other causes might not have had a considerable effect in
inducing these deplorable results ,• but they did say that
the corn-laws greatly aggravated those evils, and were
of themselves calculated to create them.—(Hear, hear.)
ney saw luso vim. 5.-4-
ment on their civil rights. It must be obvious that
the first of all right was, that a man should
be entitled to the rewards and profits of his
oven industry.—(Cheers.) They denied that any por-
tion of their fellow-countrymen had a right to dictate
the conditions under which their industry should be
carried on.—(Hear, hear.) They denied their right to
measure out the trade of their fellow-countrymen, or to
interfere with the efforts of the loom more than those of
the plough.—(Hear, and cheers.) He trusted the time
was come when Englishmen would throw off the
yoke of dukes and other noblemen. As he had men-
tioned noblemen, he thought it right to Say there were
noblemen and other landed proprietors among the aris-
tocracy who were their firmest friends and most distin-
guished ady.ocates. And among them were many who
hsd been distinguished for the improvement they had
made in agriculture.—(Heaf, and cheers.) For instance,
there were Lord Spencer and Lord Leicester, These
two noblemen were the most strenuous advocates of the
cause dr free trade,—(Hear, hear.) And it was im-
portant that many agriculturists had separated them-
selves from their own class, and put themselves forward
as the advocates of their cause.—(Hear, hear.) It
showed that these men considered that their cause tended

to the promotion of good agriculture. Who was It
among the aristocracy and landed proprietors that were
opposed to their principles ? Why the most mortgaged
latalorsners in the country—(hear)—men who dreaded
the least reduction in their rents, because there was but
a small difference between their rental and the amount
of their mortgages.—(Hear, hear.) They were not told
now, certainly, anything in Parliament about these
mortgages, Sir Edward Knatchbull had ventured on
that dangerous ground; and a friend of his had said that
that gentleman's arguments were perilous, but his ex-
planations ruinous; and they might recollect that he had
entered on some of these explanations.—(aear, hear.)
rrhe.;',' new heard nothing abou. the peculiar taxes on the
land. And after hcarinis all that was advanced in the
Houses and elseeshere, he could never perceive those
burdens. It was a surprise that at come of those
protection dinners there was no mention of the peculiar
exemptions of the agriculturist. There was nothing
said, in 17, Old Bond-street, about these exemptions
There Was nothing said about the window-tax, and how
the viitaloOs of a farm-house were free of that tax, while
those of a shop were obliged to bear it—(lean) There
was no allusion to the fact that bat few farmers paid the
income-tax. It proved that a man in the country with
3001. a-year was put in a very different position from the
shopkeeper. The agriculturist was exempted also from
legacy atid probate duty, but of this there was no men-
tion made in 11, Old Bond-street. While the property
of the working classes is subjected to this very heavy
tai, could they explain why the land of the Duke of
Richmond and the Duke of Buckingham should pass
free ? Would they but explain this ? More serious
and aggravated injuries the country had not received
than those inflicted by the hands of the protectionists.
No doubt freedom from taxation was meant to benefit
only the landed interest. It found ,ts way
into the pockets of the landlords in the shape
of rent. The farmer might be deluded with
the faith that his rent was by so much reduced ; it
might sect so but at some future day he was un-
deceived by the demand made upon him by his Lord-
ship's agent. The corn-last was no advantage to the
farmer. He (Mr. Gibson) could testify this the more
confidently, having lately been in an agricultural dis-
trict where he had abundant intercourse with farmers ;
and he could state that they were taking their farms
under the impression that the corn-laws were to be im-
mediately repealed. He knew numerous instances where
they had taken leases, discarding the cornaw
altogether from their calculations ; for what formed the
basis of their expectations and the element of their cal-
culations was their own capital, and their own skill, and
not this abusive system of legislation.—(Cheers.) He
believed that the agricultural interest, and the farmer's
condition would have been vr much better if the corn-
laws had never passed ; and lie believed that they them-
selves were convinced of this, for he had spoken to many
tenant-farmers, who had expressed themselves as though
they had had a conviction at variance with their words.
They went to their protection meetings, but what were
these ? Private meetings, into which no one was ad-
'ited but whose opinions exactly tallied with the

The Morning Post had said that the question tr..- 7re

Gibson) said the same ; it was a struggle against feudal
oppression ' a struggle between the middle and the upper ,
classes, and the repeal of the corn-laws would be but a
step towards the destruction of whatever existed of
Legislative abuse.—(lmmense cheering.) They had
no need to inquire anxiously what any man might pro-
pose. The Anti-Corn-law League had always lera'aed
on its own friends, had always trusted to its own coun-
sel:3, had always offered its own terms.. It had not de-
layed the cause to see what this party-leader or that
party-leader meant to propose. It had gone strai.ght
on towards the aim which it had itself set up. They

;

might, however, at a moment like the present, specu-
late on what were the intentions of the Government. Sir
l4obert Peel was still preserving dead silence—the Mi-
nisterial dinners were still delayed—perhaps they were
to be put off altogether—if not, they would be ill at-
tended, for his usual supporters were nearly all put off
their feet.—(Laughter and cheers.) Considering the ex-
pression that had been given to opinion throughout the
country, he (Mr. Gibson) could not think it probable
that Sir Robert would propose anything short of repeal.
He 'you'd have to satisfy the north of England, and he
(Mr. Gibson) believed that the men of the north of Eng-
land were determined to carry the question by a
total abolition. They had not taken it up as
a question of party ; they cared not for this
man or that man being in power ; they made
it no party watchword. No ; they had en-
tered the struggle with an object before them, and they
meant not to cease from their efforts till they carried the
entire abolition of these laws.—(Great cheering.) If he
could read the future by the past, he believed that the
man of Westminster were determined to carry that mea-
sure to a final issue ; and that the glories of old West-
minster would be revived by their conduct in the
struggle,—{Hearty and long-continued cheering.) What
more proper than that one of the largest boroughs in
she kingdom should be forward in the fight ? And
when the wealth of the north was united to the working
and energetje stability of the metropolis, they might
confidently expect to triumph. The Hon. Gentleman
sat down amid grea: cheering.
Sir DE LACY EVANS, 0.7 coming forward to second the
resolution, was warmly gees:et-1 by the meeting. When
the cheering had ceased, he he trusted: need
not assure them of the sincere plassare he felt on that
occasion among so many well known faces
.met together
on One of the most important questions that had ever
interested the constituency of Westminster. He :of.'
gratulated them on having Ole presence and the aid, that
evening, of a most energetic and able representative of a
most energetic constituency. After his statements, and
these made to the meeting by their worthy Chairman,
she had but a few things more to add in illustration of
the motion which had been put into his hand. Mr.
Gibs-on had stated, that scarcely a session had passes
but some immunity was conceded to the agriculturist.
That reminded him of a fact in point. Some time ago
many agricultural labourers were unemployed, and in a
state of destitution. In Parliament they had been urged
to relieve them, that triey might be prevented from
dying through famine. Only last session, accordingly,
an Act was passed for erecting asylums for the
casual and the passing poor. But it was well
known that in the metropolis they had abund-
ance of asylums supported by voluntary contri-
butions, and, therefore, those to be erected were
clearly for the agriceitoral portion of the community.
He h id no doubt that the corn-laws produced the effects
named in the resolution, for they had increased the price
of provisons, while no addition had been made to the
reward of industry. Their effect was felt in an-
other way. There were, he said, 100,000 absentee
families on the Continent, whose income might be
averaged at 3001. a-year, making thirty millions an-
nually. On account of high prices, thirty millions
annually were spent out of the country, from which
neither their countrymen nor the revenue of the Govern-
ment derived any advantage. For thirty years the corn-
laws had been in operation, but it was seen that they
had spoiled the tenant-farmer and the agricultural
labourer. As for commerce, and the effect they had on
that, instances were brought forward in both Houses ;
but in both Houses the supporters of the monopo-
lists could drown reason by their numerical votes,
The Gallant Officer then spoke of the calamity that had
befallen the country through the failure of the potatoes.
He said, what might be the state of the portion of the
crop yet unexamined would not be known for four
months to come ; but, during that time, what was the
Government to do for the poor ? In other countries the
evil had been felt—in France and Belgium, and by their
neighbours—but there measures had been immediately
adopted, and their ports had been thrown open to foreign
corn with the very best effect to the inhabitants. The
Minister had been no doubt exerting himself, and had
thereby come into collision with his colleagues in the
Cabinet. He had lost power, and had again come into
power. From Peel they had more reason to expect the
measure they wished than from the Whigs, had they
come into office, for many of them were but young in
the cause. For fifteen years past he had been wont to
assist on various questions in that room ; on every one
of them they had won triumphs in the cause of freedom;
and on this, with the aid of Westminster, they might
count on victory.
The resolution was then read by the Chairman and
put to the meeting, when it was carried unanimously,
with one solitary exception.
Dr. Boweiso then came forward to move the second
resolution, and was received with great cheering. He
said he felt himself honoured in having a resolution com-
mitted to his hands. He had often met them in that
room, and as often had their exertions influenced the
Senate and modified their laws. They had met that night
on a subject that had engaged all their minds. What
they had demanded in reference to the corn-laws.
when they were weak, they would demand when
they were strong. They would demand no less,
tnea e sesta aemand no mores—The --total, ine
immediate, the absolute abolition of these laws. As
for the Prime Minister, he said he recollected
when Sir Robert Peel was shaping his future course, he
spoke of posthumous fame. The speaker believed he
valued it ; tbey knew, that even among the angels,
" there was joy over one sinner that repenteth.
(Laughter.) He hoped the Hon. Baronet would not
sacrifice principles which he inwardly held, and fame
which he valued, to present power and to place.
The speaker then proceeded to dilate with great
eloquence on the growth of the Anti-corn-Law move-
ment, and on the present condition of the opposing
parties. " The people," said he, " were inclined to for-
get and forgive the past, to forgive the wrongs and the
robberies that the monopolists had committed upon
them, and the latter had better take them in their
present mind. But the books were to be
closed, once for all. If these were opened,
the other party would find that all stood against
themselves—everything in favour of the people. And
the people in that case, instead of giving them a release,
an honest discharge, would demand in addition to re-
peal—which was always their right—the immense
amount of what they had been despoiled.
The eloquent gentleman then retired amid great cheer-
ing, having first moved the following resolution :—" Re
solved,—That the operation of the corn-laws is to raise
the price to the consumers; preventing the exchange of
manufactures and other productions for corn ; throwing
operative; and labourers out of employment ; diminish-
ing the wages of the employed by overstocking the
labour market, and thus becoming the source of bitter
divisions among classes—the cause of penury, fever,
the people—and
mortality, arid crime anS2ng
threaten-
ing, if continued, to reduce the labourinF, classes of the
people to the most abject state of misery."
Sir CHARLES NAPIER rose Amlti:t the most enthu-
siastic cheering. tie said that he felt tj:lite astonished
at the manner in which that meeting had thorn ht proper
to receive him that evening. He believed it Was the
second occasion on which he had the honour to appea: at
the Crown and Anchor, at a meeting of the inhabitants
of Westminster. The first occasion was when he came
to support his friend Sir De Lacy Evans, when he stood
for Westminster, who had been the first to fire the
signal of repeal in the Tory camp. He was sorry to say
that he (Sir De Lacy Evans) did not then occupy hi;
seat in the House of Commons, and he hoped that an
opportunity would soon occur of returning him. (A
voice, "We don't mean to have Leader any more.")
He did not think himself worthy of addressing that
meeting, as he had only very lately become a total re-
pealer, and had originally thought that a fixed duty
John
better than total abolition. The letter of Lordd t
t
Russell had, however, thrown his notion of thew% dui t
o
the winds, and he believed that nothing but tolta r_epeal
one
.)f•
would serve this country. They were al
opinion with regard to the Anti-Corn-law League,
and why should they not have the principles it
inculcated ? They should thank the protectionists
for the arguments they (the protectionists) furnished
against themselves ; for if they would read the speeches
that were reported in the public papers, they would find
a good deal of absurdity. Let theta refer to the meet-
ing at Chichester, where it was said that it was singular
the people Should complain and be discontented, as if
the potatoes were bad, a greater number had been sown
that year; and if the people wanted corn, there were two
millions of quarters ready to co
me into the country.
The Duke of Rutland had said that he relished a otat'o. P
very much—(laughter)—and so did he (Sir C. Napier)
relish one; but the Duke of Rutland would be enabled
to indulge his relish when the poor people would not be
able to get a potato. After the Duke of Rutland came
another Duke, who recommended to the poor people
when they are going to bed to take a pinch of curry-
powder to keep their bellies warm. He had been a long
time at sea, but it had never struck him, on stormy
nights, to use curry-powder to keep his sailors from cold.
His Friend the Hon. Member for Manchester had spoken
of Sir Edward linatchbull, who had said, that in the
case of the abolition of the corn-laws, what was to be-
come of their widows' portions? He (Sir C. Napier)
would venture to say, that if the corn-laws
were repealed, the friends of he League would
be ready to subscribe to portion their widows
and children.—(Hear.) Another gentleman said that it
was folly to speak of the abolition of the corn-laws, as
the country gentlemen would be unable to maintain their
stations in the country. What was their station, end
what were their conditions? They kept castles—they
kept hunters—they went to Newmarket, and they lost
thousands of pounds—all of which they would be obliged
to give up if the corn-laws were abolished. He was in
the country the other day at a gentleman's seat, and it
took him nearly a whole day to ride over the grounds.
It was the gentleman's property, and a man might do as
he liked with his owe, but he should not let the people
of this country go short of food in order to keep up high
rsots. The lower classes were only lately beginning to
find ,!-heir strength. The country labourers had begun
to hold, meetings, and they had found that a duty on
bread did not. assist to make them comfortable,
