and to petition the SOVEREIGN
risowfuisl
overflowing,
to exert the noblest prerogative of the Crown, " the
attribute of Heaven itself," and show mercy to their
sufferings, since justice is denied them by their fellow-
men. They have not spoken in vain; their words
have not been " wasted on the desert air ;" they are
diffused through the length and breadth of the land,
and everywhere they must produce effect. Eloquence
may contradict eloquence, fine speeches may coun-
teract fine speeches, but truth is unanswerable. Not
all the hereditary wisdom of the Dukes of RICHMOND
and BUCXINGHAM, not all the culinary science of the
Duke of NORFOLK, nor the poetic genius of Lord W.
LENNOX, not the united eloquence of the whole ex-
elusive faction could answer the plain statements of
these humble men. Take the following examples :
" William Parry, of Charlton, said, I have come a
distance 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 Is. 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. li
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 I 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 ?—(Hear' 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.) 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 done me some good but
for that.

" William Taylor stated that he had a wife and four
children, 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 were 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.—(Cries of Hear, hear.')
" Another ♦oice—Did ever any of your fellow-
labourers give you bread when you were starving ?
" Taylor—Yes, several times. I han't had any to-day
but what that man gave meXpointing 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 starv-
ing man, his emaciated appearance spoke in stronger
terms than his voice could utter].
" James Peglar complained that he had been
hunted down' under the poor-laws, having been, with
his wife and family, forced into the workhouse, and se-
parated from them for eleven months.—(Cries of
`Shame!) At last he was turned out to get work ; and,
because he went out of the district to find work, he was
taken before the magistrates, and charged with desertion,
for which he was sent to prison for a month. It was
no use for him to grumble; he was served so again after
that. God bless my heart and life (exclaimed this
man) I never seed sich a go to be sure as how I was
served. I knows enough of starvation and misery to
make me say, God send us free trade !' "—(Cheers.)
One of the chief characteristics of the English
people is their enduring fortitude ; this is the great
secret of our national: greatness. The eager vivacity
of the French, the impetuous ardour of the southerns,
have frequently made them foremost for a time, the
English are daring, and high-spirited, and brave;
but it is to their endurance in adversity that they owe
their proud position. Others gain , but we
keep them ; others win a brief fame while
we earn lasting glory. What an example is
presented by the people at this moment. Poverty
and hunger, neglect and oppression are their portion ;
they do not rebel, they do not even despair ; no dis-
orderly movement is made ; they only follow the pre-
scribed rules; they meet to communicate their griefs;
they petition the Legislature to amend the laws, and
they await the result with anxious patience. May
they not wait long! Oh, let the relief be speedy—
let those in power remember, to give quickly is to
give twice. In another fortnight the representatives
of the people re-assemble ; may they truly represent
their constituents, and be unanimous and resolved as
they are. Let the landlords still hold out if they
will—they will be but a feeble minority. Short-
sighted men ! did they know their own interests they
would act differently. Are they ignorant that their
welfare depends on that of the labourer ? They can
no more exist without him than a column without its
base, yet the base can exist without the capital. If
noble Lords studied architecture it might be bet-
ter for them; they would not be so ready to build
without foundation. The meeting at Goatacre will
be useful in many ways; it will set an example to the
rest of the country, and, as one of the men observed,
" It will even be gratifying to Sir R. PEEL, who is
waiting for the people of this country to press him on
to repeal, for he knows, as well as any man, the bad
effects the corn-laws are producing."

We have received Madrid journals of the 31st ult.
The debate on the Address commenced in the Senate
on the 30th, and was resumed next day. The first
five paragraphs were adopted with little discussion.
On the sixth being proposed, M. BURGOS moved that
it be omitted. That paragraph stated that the subor-
dination and good discipline of the army were the
surest guarantees of public peace. This he considered
opposed to constitutional government, as the only
sure guarantee was is the due execution of the laws.
General NARVAEZ opposed the amendment, and de-
nied that the military power dominated over every
other power in the State. Military domination was
at an end, and ordinary laws and a free press were
established. There were no powers existing except-
ing those sanctioned by the law, and the fact was
evinced by the meeting of the representatives of the
people. The paragraph was ultimately adopted. No
business of any interest was done in the other
Chamber.

On the 31st the Three per Cents. were quoted at
361 at 60 days.

The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock and
share-market are very favourable. On Tuesday the
Three per Cents. opened at the closing prices of the
previous day, but afterwards advanced considerably,
and closed at 83f. 20c., showing a rise of 30c. The
Fives left off firm at 121 f. 45c.; and all the railway
shares closed at higher quotations. Discussions and
Ministerial explanations had taken place in the Com-
mittee of the Deputies appointed to draw up the
answer to the Address. Four of the Ministers were
present—M. GUIZOT, Admiral MACKAU, General
ST. Yox, and M. C. GEIDAINE, the Minister of
Commerce. In answer to questions, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs spoke at considerable length. With
regard to the intervention of France and England
on the Plate, he said that both powers were deter-
mined to continue steady in the course they had
adopted, until tranquillity should be completely re-
stored ; and, in regard to the annexation of Texas,
France had only taken those steps without regard to
England which she considered conducive to her own
interests. The papers relative to this subject would
be laid before the Chambers. The Minister of
Marine, Admiral MACKAU, confirmed a statement
made by M. GUCZOT, and said France had no inten-
tion to colonise Madagascar. The object of the expe-
dition was to avenge the death of the French soldiers
who had perished in that island, and when that ob-
ject was attained, and guarantees had been given for
the safety of those carrying on trade in the island, the
expedition would return to France. The other topics
adverted to possess little or no interest for the English
reader.

The Committee of the Chamber of Peers, appointed
to draw up the Address, also met on Tuesday,
to hear the report drawn up by Count PORTAL'S. If
the Address, as drawn up by the reporter, should be
approved of by the Committee, the Peers will meet on
Wednesday in their bureaux to hear it read, and the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 to
6,000 bales, nearly all to the trade, at full prices. American
at 4d. per b. and under was not so easy to buy.
There are accounts a few days later from the Cape of
Good Hope, but they contain no news of particular in-
terest. The state of the frontier was tranquil, and despite
occasional alarms, there had been no actual outbreak.
Sales of land had been made at an advance of 25 per cent.
on upon the prices of the year previous.
A very marked improvement has occurred this morning in
the value of the British Securities, and there is much buoy-
ancy observable. The payment of the dividends in the course
of a day or two, assists the market, and with the purchases for
the Sinking Fund, already commenced, the Bulls will perhaps
be encouraged to operate. Consols have been 94% to
95% for present transfer, and 95 to 9514 % for the 16th
instant. Bank Stock has been up to 205 and 206. New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 9712 to 9814;
and the Three per Cents. 95% to 95%. Exchequer-bills are
up to 28s. and 30s. premium.
The Foreign Investments have been heavy. Spanish
Three per Cents. at 39% ; Portuguese Four per Cents. at
58 ; and Mexican at 31 ; Brazilian New Stock is worth 78.
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 98.
The Direct Northern Railway comes out very spiritedly
for the new tilt in Parliament against its rivals the London
and York and the Cambridge projects, and despite the exer-
tions of the latter there are good reasons for presuming that
the claims of the Direct Northern will give it the decided
preference. As opposed to the London and York,
its gradients are far better, and the distance it
traverses is shorter, though it affords accommodation to all
the principal localities, and it has also ample pecuniary means
to work upon. With respect to the Cambridge projects, they
are far more circuitous, and have by no means so central a
terminus as the Direct Northern, while, as opposed to both
schemes, the Direct Northern has already received the pre
ference of the Railway Board, and been favourably enter-
tained before the Parliamentary Committee.
The Share Market does not appear to have improved pari
passu with Stocks, but it is rather firmer.
