GREAT FREE TRADE MEETING

AT LAMBETH.

On Tuesday a meeting of the electors of Lambeth
took place at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the
purpose of taking measures to petition Parliament for
the total repeal of the corn-laws. The large room of
the Horns was completely filled. Among the gentlemen
on the platform, we observed Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. T.
D'Eyncourt, M-P., Mr. Moffatt, M.P., Mr. Wilson, Mr.
Watkinson, Mr. Poulter, Mr. J. A. Lyon, Mr. R. S.
Dixon, Mr. Cash, Mr. Bone, Mr. Byron, Mr. Renton,
Mr. B. Baker, &c. &c.

Mr. RICHARD POPE took the chair mid opened the
business of the meeting. He appeared before them as
what the world °ailed a Conservative, but he could not
help taking a part in the anti-corn-law struggle, consi-
dering the question to be whether this country was or
was not to be starved ? —(Hear, hear.) He avowed :
that he had only recently become a free trader.—(Hear,
hear.) He had been much struck by the arguments
which he had heard adduced at a recent anti-corn-law
meeting in the borough of Lambeth; and a speech of
that great man, Mr. Cobden—(Cheers)—which he had
had an opportunity of listening to lately at Wakefield,
had decided him never, on any future election, to sup-
port any but a free trader.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gen-
tleman then proceeded to advert to the failure of the
potato crop, and to inquire whether the League did not
seem to be in earnest in its proceedings, when they con-
sidered the commencement which had been made the
other day of the subscription for the gigantic fund which
the League had determined to raise.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CASH moved the first resolution, to the effect that
the deficiency in the harvest, as well as the diseased
state of the potato crop, rendered some such measure as
the repeal of the torn-laws absolutely necessary.—
(Cheers.) He referred to the misery generally existing
amid the agricultural population themselves, and on that
ground urged the necessity of opening the ports. If the
Ministry did not repeal the bread-tax of their own good
will, they would be forced to do it by the power of the
constituencies of the kingdom.—(Rear, hear.) Let the
people be but true to themselves. If they wished for
cheap bread, they could have it.—(Cheers.)
Mr. DIxoN seconded the resoultion, observing that
when they reflected upon their isolated situation, and the
confined space which they could appropriate to agricul-
tural pursuits, it was evident that they could only exist
as a political body, by being a great manufacturing and
commercial nation. Let them look at our increasing
population, and let them say whether it was probable,
I that supposing that population to go on increasing as it
bad done, they could be fed by the supplies afforded
by this country. From the constitution of Sir Robert
Peel's Government, they had reason to expect that some
half-and-half corn-law measure would be propounded by
it.—(Hear.) But they would be satisfied with no such
attempted settlement of the question. It must be finally
and for ever settled by a total repeal of those unjust
enactments which taxed a people for the sake of the
aristocracy.—(Hear.) In Belgium and other continental
nations, everythieg possible had been done to avert the
consequences of the foarcity which threatened Europe.
This country alone was apathetic; and he thought it
was high time that they should arise from their mesmeric
slumbers, and be up and doing in the great cause of
free-trade. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by seconding
the resolution.

Mr. klAwEst ht.; then clone forward Amidst loud

cheering, and said he felt great pleasure in having the
opportunity of meeting the electors of the borough o
Lambeth on that occasion. He rejoiced at that oppor-
tunity, not from a desire to ascertain their opinion upon
the question of the corn-laws, for he was well aware that
they were favourable to the principles of free trade, nor
from any desire to express his own opinions to them
upon that important subject, for the great majority of
the electors of Lambeth being free-traders themselves,
well knew that since he had obtained a vote in the House
of Commons that vote had always been given in favour
of the principles of free trade—(Cheers)—but he re-
joiced at seeing that meeting assembled on that occasion,
as it would enable himself and his Hon. Colleague to
go to Parliament and say that they had been sent there
removing t monopoly n ohpaodl) seen
e onf
by a constituency who were unanimous as to the expe-
diencynot nothing i ncgo corn-laws.—
icah"a' sn.g—e
the opinion which he had long before formed, namely,
that they had an injurious and mischievous tendency. If
there was any individual at that meeting of the inhabitants
(C ee r f)
Fur his
part,he
of the borough who was an advocate of the corn-laws, he
sincerely desired the individual who held those opinions
would comeforward and allege reasons for maintaining
his views, for there was nothing so tiresome or tedious as
slaying twice and thrice the giant monopoly the corn-
laws.—(Hear, hear.) lie had no desire in speaking of
that question to appeal to the passions of those around
him, or to set one class against another.—(Cheers.) No;
he would confine honselr to reason and argument, in
proof of the opinions which he entertained, and which
he would show were founded upon just and correct
principles.—(Cheers.) There were three courses open
to her M ijesty's Ministers with respect to the corn-laws.
['hey might either propose to maintain the existing law,
but he conceived that to uphold it longer would be im
possible ; or they might in some shape or form diminish
a portion of the protection to agriculture, and in some
mysterious manner endeavour to persuade the public
that everything was done which could be done in order
to properly arrange the qu-stion. If it were proposed,
in order to effect that object, that there should be some
sort of fixed duty, he for one would take that opportu-
nity of raising his voice against a fixed duty.—(Cheers.;
Now, when it was considered- that corn was
,e,.prigie
necessary of life, and when they had been told, upon
the authority of Ministers of the Crown, that at
periods when there was an abundance of food there
was less crime in the country, and greater prosperity
than at other periods, he maintained that it
formed a strong argument in favour of putting an
end to any legislation which could have the effect of ren-
dering food scarce and dear. He said he was opposed
to a fixed duty, anti he recollected that Sir Robert Peel
had expressed himself as opposed to a fixed duty—not
that it would form any very potent argument in favour
of his always maintaining that opinion.—(Laughter and
cheers.) He (Mr. Hawes) would maintain that the abo-
lition of time corn-laws would be of the greatest service
to the country, for whatever injured trale would equally
affect the landed interest in time, and he believed that a
cheap and abundant supply of corn would make the po-
pulation more happy and contented, and by giving a
better field for their industry enable them to be better
customers of that which the farmers produce, and thus
he would be a partaker in the general prosperity.—
(Hear, hear.) The landowners, indeed, said that one
claim which they had for a peculiar protection to their
interest was based upon the fact that they had peculiar
burdens to sustain, and, in answer to that argument, he
(Mr. Hawes) called upon them to prove their case. He
invited them to prove before a Committee of the House
of the Commons that they were subjected to peculiar
burdens ; but until they had proved that fact, be
would continue to deny that they had any peculiar
burdens to sustain, and consequently to deny the
argument in favour of the corn-laws which

was
