It is unnecessary Li this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan-
tages of Life Assurance, or its adaotation to most of the exigencies
and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub-
lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated.
This Company is formed for granting every description of Life
Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or
short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis-
factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the
repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be
agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of
Assurance, and every other description of property.
Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se-
curity, and effecting a policy of Assirance for the amount bor-
rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, se
long as tile interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party
borrowing 1,000/. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of
a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum-
bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to reps) its
advance.
The premiums are based upon data derived' from the most recent
and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably adjusted
scale.
One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its
benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance
Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With
this v ew, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three
years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the
whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be
applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the
sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the
Assured.
For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the
whole of life, without participation In the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with
the interests of the Company.
Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-halt only
of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid in advance. l'pon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a fall parti-
cipation of the profits.
The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value
of the policy, on its security.
In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will
be exercised.
Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the
assured afforded by the most respectable established companies.
A Table of Premiums will shortly be published.

RON TIMES" NEWSPAPER
COMPANY.

(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital 63,0001., in shares of 1/. Is. each.
Offices of the Company, No. 41, Moorgate-street.
For some years before the late mischievous movement against
railway interests on the part of the " Times" newspaper, it had
been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their
advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging
and fosteri:ig a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part
of its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and
commercial classes of the community, was acting in every way
against their interests.
But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to
such a journal by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul-
sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the
" Times "rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de-
sirable publicity. A remedy or an alternative was sought in vain ;
the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes
of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum.
This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and
the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per-
ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed
the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and
talent which have been dislayed in supporting that character—a
power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an
amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the
" Iron Times " the le ding journal of the age.
Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times" as a Railway News-
paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper has a point
d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good
fortune of any journal to attain.
To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary--
circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of
them never, in any instan,e, been arrived at without a
great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the " Iron
Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them.
Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the perma-
nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the
property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has
been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times,"
and infusing into it that amount of immediately-available capital,
which alone appears necessary to Insure its increased usefulness as
a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con-
cerned.

As a commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a
matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of
tho Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &c.,
have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at
least twenty-five per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital Invested.
To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company,
it is intended to create a capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares
01 I/. Is. each—the whole to be paid up. None of these shares will
be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per-
fected in the course of a few days. _ _

By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a
limited number, not exceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first
instance, at par ; after which there will be a further issue of a
similar number at 1/. prem. per share ; the remainder at such
periods and at such prices as th, Committee of Management shall de-
termine, and the augmented value and importance of the property
of the Company shall demand.
The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share-
holders—for a pre-emption in favour of original subscribers, for sub-
sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and
for the regulation and management of the undertaking—have been
matured; and the deed of settlement to carry these arrangements
into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel.

Application for shares, and all communicatio .3 respecting the un-
dertaking, are to be addressed to H. Edwards, the Secretary, at the
office of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street, London.

To the Committee of Management of the " Iron Times" News-
paper Company.

Gentlemen,—l request you will allot me Shares, or
such less number as you shall determine, in the Capital Stock of
the " Iron Times" Newspaper Company; and I hereby engage to pay
the sum of One Pound One Shilling upon each Share that shall be
appropriated to me, and to execute the Deed of settlement of the
Company when required, it being distinctly understood that my
liability is limited to £1 Is. per Share, and that under no circum-
stances I shall be called upon for any further or other sum.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.

KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit
drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of
which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno-
cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak-
ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna-
ment of he human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi-
lity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven-
tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the
certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and
strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall-
ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crown of the head will
remove the most distressing rain in that part produced by or at-
tended with faintness ; and is acknowledg' d by the Faculty as the
only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo
de calvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a few
applications removes dandriff. This wonderfld discovery is fully ex-
plained in a pamphlet containing testimonials to its regenerating
new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the

THE BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL
THEA RE ROYAL, COVENT-GARDEN.

M. JUL LIEN'S CONCERTS.
Since the Festival given last year in honour of the great composer,
BEETHOVEN, at his birthplace, the musical professors and ama-
teurs of almost every continental city have bestirred themselves to
evince their admiration of that great depaited genius, and have pro-
dnced some grand musical reunion for the special performance of his
finest works. The public enthusiasm with which these Festivals
have been received, as well as the royal patronage bestowed on them,
proves the estimation, and indeed almost devotion, with which the
talents of Beethoven are regarded abroad, It has, however, been
the frequent remark of foreign artistes, that in no country are
Beethoven's works more highly appreciated than in England; and
since the public in general have been enabled at a reasonable charge
to make themselves acquainted with them, such a widely-extended
knowledge now exists, that it is scarcely possible to conceive but
that a similar demonstration in England must be highly and
generally popular.

M. Jet :LIEN having at h's disposal an orchestra of unrivalled
talent, conceived the idea of produMug such an entertainment as
that above-mentioned, and on making known his intentions has re-
ceived from many distinguished amateurs and professors the most
encouraging assurances of support and assistance.
In addition to his usual orchestra, M. &Mien has been enabled to
add the names of several of tha first professors, amt has also the
satisfaction to state that Signor Sivori has expressed his wish to
take part in the Festival, and will for a short period longer delay
his departure.

that the rich should be endowed with the full and sole
power to send Members to Parliament to legislate ?-
(Hear, hear.) The laws press upon the poor, who never
had any hand in making them.-(Hear, hear.) But I
do think the time will come when every labouring house-
holder will have the privilege of sending Members to
Parliament.-(Cheers.) When every man comes under
the power of every law that is made, ought not every
man to have a voice in making that law ?-(Hear, hear.)
And now a word or two for the protectionists. I
would ask where is the utility of the protectionist con-
tending for the corn-law, since it has been proved again
and again, by invincible argument, that the corn law is
no benefit to him ? But he is led on • by the Duke of
Buckingham and others, just as the Italian leads a bear
through the streets, and when he has made as much
money of him as he can, he turns upon the poor crea-
ture, and cuts him up to make bear's grease.-(Great
laughter.) So it is with the poor farmer, and so the poor
labourer is brought down to misery and ruin.-(Hear.)
War. BURCHELL then came forward to move the adop-
tion of the following resolution, or rather declaration:-
" We, the labourers of Goatacre and its neighbour-
hood, in public meeting assembled, do solemnly protest
against the corn-laws, which were enacted on the plea
of being beneficial to our interest, but have been, on the
contrary, injurious, inasmuch as they prevent the employ-
ment of capital in the improvement of the soil, and
and thereby diminish labour, and raise the price of the
first necessaries of life. And we labourers declare that
we are lingering out a miserable existence under the
idea of being protected."-(llear, hear.)
He considered that this• was the best resolution that the
meeting could carry. (Buichell finding a little difficulty
at first in expressing himself, one of his fellow-labourer s
in the crowd called out, " Never mind about a word or
two; hungry men can understand what you mean."
Dip remark was echoed by many voices.) He was one
of the poor Wiltshire labourers who were suffering under
a pretended corn-law protection. It had been many
times stated that this corn-law protection was for the
nefit of the labouring classes, but be maintained that
at the present time it was au injury to them.-(Hear,
bear.) He, therefore, hoped that they would unite
in petitioning for the speedy removal of that pro-
tection, and the establishment of free trade for the
nation.-(Loud cheers.) God Almighty in his provi-
dence caused the earth to produce abundance of provi-
sions for man, and what one nation could not produce
another could ; therefore everything should he so ma•
naffed as to have free commerce throughout the world.
-(Hear, hear.) The labouring classes were in a most
distressed condition at the present time-worse than
last year, when he said at Wooten Basset that every
man with five or six children went to bed more in debt
than he was the night before. His condition was worse
than it was that time twelvemonth. If wages had risen
within the last few years ls. a-week, the price of bread
had risen 2s, so that the difference was against himself
and his family.-(A voice-" True, we be always going
back.") He hoped the Legislature would take into con-
sideration their distressed state, and find a speedy rescue
for the oppressed ppor.-(Hear.) He could maintain the
truth of all that the chairman had stated about their dis-
tress. He believed that there were at the present time
many who had not a bit of bread to eat. He did not know
whether the man was in that congregation or not,
but one man of Lyneham parish had told him that
many a night be had gone to bed hungry.-(Cries of
" Ah, he is not the only one"-" No, not by many.")
Those who were in distress should come forward and
manfully make their distress known ; that would show
the necessity for free trade, which he believed to he the
the only remedy.-(A voice, " It can't make us worse.")
20 or 30 years ago, the labourers of Wilts used to go up
into the hills and make a good harvest ' • but since trade
had failed it was no use for them to go looking for reap-
ing, for many thousands of " scribblers" and weavers out
of employment went and cut down the wheat at low
wages. But he believed that if every scribbler had
work at his mill, and every weaver employment at his
loom, they would not rob the poor agricultural labourer
of his day's work.-(llear.) Many persons said that
free trade would make things worse for them ; he did
not believe that to be possible, and all he wanted was
that the experiment should be tried.-(Hear, hear.)
He had heard that in centuries past labouring men
had for food bread, and butter, and cheese, and beef,
and pork, and beer ; but now it was bad potatoes
and salt. He was often thankful that the streams and
rivulets were so bountifully spread around their neigh-
bourhood, and that taxation could not be written on their
bosoms.-(Hear, hear.) But it was distressing for a
man to get up early and go to work having little or no
victuals, and to return to dinner upon a few potatoes,
and then be afraid sometimes to eat what he had.-(A
voice-" 'Cause you would not have any for to-
morrow.") He had heard it said that there was no
market for meat. Why was that ? Because the people
had not the means of purchasing meat, therefore the
consumption was not bigger. He was past forty years
of age, and he could say that he never purchased a
pound of good slaughtered beef fit to be carried into
market. As to mutton, he had purchased a little of
that, but never as much as would average a pound a
year in the forty years. He knew what veal was, but
he never had any at all. He believed that the only way
to improve the meat market and increase the home
consumption, was to establish free trade, and he would
conclude by calling on them to unite in petitioning for
free trade.-(Cheers.) Free trade for ever !-(Re-
newed cheers.)
Cizan.LEs VINES, in seconding the resolution, said-
Friends, I wish the moon was a little brighter just new,
that I could see better who is here ; but I see enough to
find that there is a good many people, and almost all of
'em wear smock-frocks and poor old hats as I do. Some
of us heard from a pulpit a short time ago that the mind
of man is like to be dissatisfied. I believe it. Dissatis-
fied minds have brought all these men here to-night.-
(A woman's voice, " Ay, and women too.") I believe,
fellow-labourers, that if you and your families had full
bellies, you would now have been at home, after being
working hard all day, comfortable with your wives and
families.-(" Ay,' that's true.) I am sure I should not
have walked all the way up here from Christian-Mal-
ford, through lanes and paths full of mud and dirt, if it
hadn't been for that. I don't come here to talk politics.
I don't know nothing of 'em. But I don't know much
of the corn-laws, only that they ha'nt done we labourers
much good.-(Hear, hear.) Everybody knows that.-
(A voice, " I've had 'em staring me in the face ever since
1817.") Yes, the corn-laws exist, and every one of us
feels that the sooner they be abolished the better.-
(Cheers.) I don't know whether many of you read
newspapers, but I must tell you that in the Wiks,iire Inde-
pendent, not long ago, there was this statement made by a
labourer of Christian-Malford to the editor :-" As Mr.
Bennett, M.P. for South Wilts, lately stated at an agricul-
tural meeting that the poor of Wiltshire were always em-
ployed regularly at the rate of Bs. and 9s. per week, and
that they were well fed and well clothed, and as I know
by experience that that statement is false, I will, if you
will be so kind as to allow me to occupy a small space in
your valuable paper, prove that it is so; and I will tell
what I earned for 39 weeks ending the 10th of June, 1844,
to maintain as large a family as almost any poor man
has. The number of my family is eight; all of those 39
weeks we wanted 7s. a week for bread, not having any
potatoes a third part of the time; so that, if I had not
been receiving Bs. a week during all that time, it would
not have been enough to buy bread and firing. And
now, Sir, I will tell what was the exact amount of what
I did earn during those 39 weeks; it was 5L 19s. Bd.,
which is not quite 3s. ld. a week. This report is almost
enough to make you stagger to believe it, ,but it is no less
strange than true; and I can say, for a truth, that if it
had not been for a little land which I rent of the Hon.
Earl of Carnarvon and the Rev. Mr. Law, and a few
good friends amongst my neighbours, my family and my-
self must have died from starvation; it was not much
better as it was. Now I will ask the Hon. Gentleman if he
thinks he is justified in stating such things at public meet-
ings? I could say a great deal more on the subject, but
I will leave these remarks for Mr. Bennett's present perusal,
and say a word or two at some future period, and I
sincerely hope and trust that these remarks will open
the said Mr. Bennett's eyes a little, so that he may
see that the poor are in distress; and I sincerely hope he
will make speeches and try to adopt measures for the
bettering the condition of us poor labourers, and I don't
doubt but that it will redound to his praise, and I think
he, in so doing, will glorify God, who alone knows the
hearts of all, and the distress which we, as a nation, are
labouring under, for there has been an increasing dis-
tress for years past ; many in this parish are now suffer-
ing greatly for want of work."-(Cries of, " Ah, that is
true, all true.") This case, so stated in that paper, was
the case of the man who stands before you--(Hear,
.
hear.) And now, my friends, the purpose of my being
here here to night is to prove to you the accurate sum thatl
earned from September 16, 1843, till November 23,
1844, which is about 62 weeks together, with the amount
of money earned by me down to the 31st of Deeeckma
andber
1845, which, if I reckon right, is about 19 w
three days. Together with relief when ,and 29 weeks
for a boy, 12 years old, who was allowed 3d. a day,
the whole sum amounted to 42/ ss. 5d., that is exactly
7s. lid. a week, or thereabouts. Now, I will ask any
labourer with a wife and six children, to step for ward
and, if he can, tell me in what I am to spend this
money, so as to pay every man I deal with 20c. in the
pound ?-(" Way the e can't.) If he can, I shall be glad
to take a lesson in economy of him. lean only say that my
wife and myself have made it our study for the last 14
years and more. She says she can't make the money do
it, and yet I am proud to say she is as good a wife as any
man has got.-(Cheers.) I would remark here that
there are other necessaries besides food. There is house
rent. I pay 41. a year, as a good many in this meeting
know. Now, 119 weeks, which go a good way towards
two and a half years, will take away 91, leaving 331. ss.
9d. Then I reckon shoes a necessary..-(" You can't
do without them.") I take what a pair cost me two
years ago ; I haven't had any since, nor my family, and
I suppose we never shall any more. I paid 12s. for a
pair of water-tights ; and if there is any shoemaker here
who will make me another pair at that price, I shall want
at least six months' credit.-(A laugh.) If he wants
them he shall have two bondsmen farmers, and I will be
bound to say that they must pay him, for I don't see
that I ever can.-(Laughter.) Then there is a pair for
my wife, 6s. 3d.; for my oldest daughter (14 years),
ss. 6d.; for my oldest son (11 years), 6s. 6d. ; for my
next son (9 years), ss. 6d.; for my next daughter
(7 years), 4s. 6d.; for my next (4 years), 35.; for the
youngest child (2 years), ls. 6d. All that amounts to
21. 4s. 9d., leaving a surplus of 311. Os. 9d. to buy food
for 119 weeks, being ss. 2id. per week for eight in a

family. I will leave all the world to judge if that sum
is sufficient to keep a family, eight in number, in food.
—(" No, it can't be done.") I am sure I often don't
know how to make both ends meet. My bread bill,
since last July, cost me from 7s. 7d. to Bs. Bd. a week.
Then you'll say, " You can't pay for your bread."—
(" No, that you can't.") That's true, for some I've paid
for, and some I han't, and don't see any way to pay for
it for the future; neither do I know how I'm to pay for
what will be wanted in future, for I have no good po-
tatoes, hardly one fit for a pi.-" to eat; for I do rent a bit
of land now, half an acre, and there is not a good potato
in it. I've got here one I had boiled for my dinner to-
day; I brought it for a specimen. (The potato was
handed down and examined under the lanterns; it
was black with the prevailing disease.) Yet this is what
I ‘,rn to feed upon when I get up to work at four o'clock
in the morning, if there's no bread in the house. It is a
long time till July next before we get new potatoes;
and unless something turns up for we poor creatures,
starvation stares us in the face on both hands. But I
sincerely hope " long looked-for" will come before July
next.—(Hear, hear.) To obtain our rights effectually
we must all, with one heart, lift up our cry wad petition
her Majesty to remove the restrictions upon trade and
commerce, so that the poor labourers may have bread
and cheese and good table beer, to enable them to do the
work which their present scanty food never can.—
(Hear, hear.) May that cry meet with a reply from
our gracious Queen. God save the Queen !—(Cheers,
and responses of " Amen.") Friends, every man who
is born and bred a. laboart r has for his birthright a living
from the soil, to be obtained without being restricted by
any laws—unjust laws I might call 'em—enforced by
our Legislature.—(Cheers ) I will now read a few lines
which I have collected together with •omething of my
own, showing the right of an English labourer:—

" My only claim is this.:
With labour stiff and stark,
By lawful turn, my bread to earn,
Between the light and dark.
My daily bread, and nightly bed,
My bread and cheese and beer :
But all from the hand that holds the land,
And none from the Overseer.
—(Loud cheers, and cries of "No overseers for we.")
" No parish money, nor parish loaf,
No pauper badge for me;
I'm a sqn of the soil, by rightful toil,
Entitled to my fee.
No alms I ask, give me my task,
For will, or arm, or leg;
I'm strong and bald, and to this I'll hold—
To work and not to beg."—(Loud cheering.)

WILLIAM PARRY, of Charlton, said, I have come a
ditance of twenty miles to tell my tale of distress. I have
six children, a wife, and myself to maintain on Bs. per
week, bread being 15d. per gallon. The farmers tell us
that our wages go according to the price of bread; but
last spring I had 7s. a week, and could buy bread at
9d. a gallon. Now it is 6d. more; and a gallon a day,
being one pound to each, is what we want in my family.
Then there is clothing and firing wanted, and house-
rent to pay; but there is nothing to pay for any of these
things. I told the relieving-officer that 'could not keep
my family on my wages. He said he would bring my
case forward at the board of guardians. Well, he sent
me an order for one of my children to go into the work-
house. Now, fellow-labourers, is not one child as dear
to you as another ?—(lfear, hear.) Well, I did not know
which to send. I could not part with ne'er a one. I
said to my oldest girl, " You are to go into the work-
house." She did not like to go, and I spoke to others,
and there I had the cries of my poor children, which
were piercing to my heart, " Don't send me, father, don't
send me !" Was not that enough to try a man, without
the pressure of starvation ? I spoke to master about it.
Oh," he says, " if you cannot maintain them, you had
better send one into the workhouse ; I shall not allow
you any more wages." I said, " What benefit is it to
send this child into the workhouse, and banish it from
its home; it will do the rest no good, nor that one either.
Besides, I should have it always upon my mind, for no
man would like to part from his children in such a
way."—(Hear, hear.) I spoke a few words at a
meeting at Uphaven, and master told me I had done
myself a great deal of hurt by it. I know I only
told the truth. He said the farmers might have don
me some good but for that. I wanted some better
potato land, but master wanted 8/. an acre for it. I told
him I et-mid not pay that. If I could get three acres of
land at the same price that the farmers get it-21. an
acre, I could provide for myself and family.—(A Voice—
" Ay, the labourers would not let the land go out of
cultivation.") But the farmers say it will, if we have
free trade.—(Cries of " N.., no.") Where I come from
there are fields and fields full of nothing but thistles.
Why ? Because there are not farmers enow to culti-
vate the land. Some of the land our people reaped pro-
duced two thistles to one wheat ear.—(Cries of "Shame,
shame.") I was at home emptying this wheat, and mas-
e•r came into the yard. I said. " Look at this." The
thistle down was flying off like a snow storm. I said,
" You had better have had more labourers to cut the
thistles out; the land will never be cultis ated while this
goes on." He said. " But I have kept all the sixpences
in my pocket."—(Murmurs.) I wish the farmers would
have public open meetings to discuss these subjects.
There was a meeting in Devizes, where Mr. Bethel male
a grand speech, and said that the labouring men wt-re all
in a flourishing state and well satisfied.—(Cries of" He's
a liar.") Mr. B, thel was in a warm room, had, per-
haps, had a bottle of wine, and was himself in a
flourishing state when he said that ; while at the same
time his poor labourers were starving.—(Hear, hear.)
If it was not for potatoes, starved we must be.—(Hear,
hear.) How does the poor man get clothes ? He lives
upon potatoes and salt, and saves a little to buy two or
three rags, or else he would be positively naked. We
could better ourselves if we were permitted. I told
master that, if he would let me have three or four acres,
at 21. an acre, I could keep my wife and family without
coming upon him or going into the workhouse. But they
won't agree to it. They say if the land is let in that kind
of way it will go out of cultivation ; but that is the very
way to bring it into cultivation. Fellow-labourers, there is
one thing that we are very wrong in. We goes to work at
mowing, cutting and slashing away, without asking master
what we are going to have for doing it before we begins.
But I know very well that when a man asks a fair price,
the farmers say, "Go along—l don't want thee. I can
do without thee." The man who speaks fairly, and asks
a fair price for his labour is sure to be persecuted. But
we should unite together, and know before hand what we
are going to have for doing the work.—(Hear, hear.)
After some further remarks upon the low wages paid to
agricultural labourers, which had reduced them to a
miserable condition, worse than that of transports, the
speaker said—there was nothing left for them now but
starvation or free trade. He believed that free trade
would give them good beef and bread to eat, instead of
potatoes and no meat or bread. Bad living had made
the agricultural labourers physically weaker ; he hoped
also that it would now have the effect of making them
wiser. It had made them wise enough to attend that
meeting. They inust speak out their distresses, or they
could not expect relief. His master had told him that
be thought himself a fool for not turning him away for
attending the meeting at Uphaven. The fact was,
the farmers wanted to keep the labourers in the dark.
The farmers and landlords held their meetings in pri-
vate, and would prevent the labourers from having any
meetings at all. The labourers must be persecuted
for meeting together ; but farmers and landown-
owners might meet and devise how to starve the poor
labourers, and that was all right.—(A voice—" Never
mind, it won't last long.") He hoped not. His master
(Mr. Wansborough) said, that free trade would starve
them.—(Cries of "Let's try it ; why we be starvingo
now.")
He said, " You won't have any money you
have free trade." How many in that meeting
money
have I
beenle
fi wouldvee
ventureks withoutsa y none.—(A
a onerart(ling Al!n m
labourer
“I
pocket ; I have never see'd any money all that time.")
He saw no hope for them but in free trade. There was
plenty of bread and meat waiting to come into this
country, but the corn-laws would not let it come ina
Their crha then, must be, " Free trade, free trade for
ever!"—(Cheers.) They were told that if corn became
the tp, their wages would be reduced. But were their
wages now according to the price of bread ?—(cries of
4. No, no.") When corn sank in price 2s. or 35. a szek
the farmers took Off Is. or 2A: from the labourer's wages :
but when corn went up again the labourer was lett in
the lurch, for his wages were not raised.—(hear.) Ile
sh Auld like every labourer to come forward to tell his
grievances.—(A voice—" Then the meeting would last
till the 31st December ilexr,") No, net if they got free
trade before next summa r.—((;heers) They must nut ha
afraid to tell the truth. His master. told him that it he
had not gone to a meetin,e; he would have done a great
many more things for hitn.—(A Labourer—" Why di,?
Le not do 'em before ?") It appeared that he nev,
thought before of doing anything for him. Although
this meeting was large, he knew that there were hun-
dreds who \sere kept away through fear of offending
their master. His maser told him that it he went
another meeting he would turn 12;in off. But when
engaged in a right cause they must not fear man, who
at the most could only destroy the body. Let them
fear God, and trust in him, and they would succeed.

W. TAYLOR stated that h? had a wife and four chil-
dren, and expected soon to have five; and was at present
out of employment. For the last seven weeks he was in
work he got 6s. 6d. per week. For many days he had
been without a bit of bread to eat.

A person in the crowd—But you are one of the pro-
tected Wiltshire labourers. Were you discharged from
your employment because you wero so weak you could
not work ?

TAYLOR—Yes, I could not work because I was not
strong enough ; I could not get victuals to make me so ;
and my master, Mr. Styles, of Whitcomb, discharged
me. I have no work now, and not a sixpence,
A voice—Go to the Duke of Richmond at 17, Bond-
street.—(Crics of " Hear, hear.")
Another voice—Did ever any of your fellow-labourers
give you bread when you were starving ?
- TAYLOR—Yes, several times. I hail% had any to-day
but what that man gave me (pointing to a labourer in
the crowd, who replied " Yes, I gave him some to-day.")
May God Almighty soon send free trade.
[This poor man need not have called himself a starving
man ; his emaciated appearance spuke in stronger terms
than his voice could utter.]
JAMES PEGLER complained that he had been " huntedf
down" under the poor-laws, having been, with his
and family, forced into the workhouse, and separated
from them for eleven montba.—(Cri©s of " Shame.") At
