WWILLIAMS'S NEWLY-INVENTED
• ENGLISH CATAMARAN RAFT, or LIFE-BOAT.
Wet. WILLIAMS, formerly a seaman in her Majesty's Royal
Navy during the late war, and for many years since in the Merchant
Service; having been cast away, and in a water-logged ship fur many
days, has devoted much of his time to the invention of a boat or
raft, fur the more effectual pres,rvation of human life in cases ot ship-
wreck, and having paid great attention to the ife-hoats at present In
use in this and other 'countries, has' invented one wbVii
,will more
effectually answer the purpose for which it is intended, not being
liable to capsize or till with water, a great fault with massy of the
boats now in use, which is very. often attended with serious
consequences, owing to the delay which unavoidably occurs
through the boats being capsized, and the men thereby unlit to
fender the assistance necessary for the preservation of the sufferers
on board the vessel they are endeavouring to rescue from de-
struction—being themselves in want of assistance, thereby occasion-
ing a loss of inuels valuable time, and in all probability the lives of
the unfortunate beings they are endeavouring to rescue from an
untimely fate. The Life-Boat, or English Catamaran, Invented by
W. Williams, being composed of sheet iron, and of very light con-
struction Is capable of laying within four points of the wb.cl and
withstanding all weathers, and able to beat to windward in the
heaviest gale that can possibly occur (when no ottbr boat now.in
use can venture out.) and cannot by any accident capsize either by
stress of weather or in a heavy surf, and will go through the water
with double the speed of any other Life-Boat now in use, in all
weathers ; with only four men to manage her, and two lug sails,
able of r,:maining longer out, and would be the
and will be cap _ Providence) of saving more lives than any
means (under Divine -snted ; and can be made to cave at each
other kind of boat yet lnv. _ of 109 souls without the least risk,
trip a shin's company, consistitn, .we fully explained by the In-
as may be seen by the model, and m, "4 ers from the wreck at
vendor, and can take all the crew and ease- •
lltty and without
from GO to 100 yards distance with the greatest fag._- ahould the
the least danger, not having occasion to go alongside
v, ssel be on the rocks or any dangerous situation where other
dare sot approach. This Lite-Boat of W. Williams's Invention can
be made to take to pieces or put together by the carpenter of any
vessel in thirty minutes, and stowed away at hand, and most part of
her cto be made available for the ship's use.
All vessels going abroad with passengers or engaged in the Green-
land Fishery, ought to be provided 'with a boat of the above Oeserip-
tot for the preservation of life in case ~f accident, as I' will answer as
well on the iee as on the water, and all dangerous parts of our own
coast as well as that of other countries, ought to be provided with
one of these boats. They can he made to any dimensions, according
to the number of passengers and crew, or the service fur which they
are intended; and are particularly well adapted for the service of
landing troops in heavy surfs or shallow water, drawing less than
any of the fiat-bottomed boats now in use.
The only object the Inventor has in view, is the benefit of his
fellow-creatures, and he requires no compensation for his loss of time
or trouble, but that a subscription might be raised for the purpose of
building a "working" model under his inspection, it being out of
the power of the Inventor, for want of the necess ry funds, to accoM •
plish so desirable an object. The Inventor, therefore, most respect-
fully solicits the aid and patronage of all thoa: who feel interested in
the preservation of the lives of their fellow-creatures, and that the
funds so raised may be placed in the hands of some responsible person
to bo aladied for the express purpose above specified ; and whets
finished,' and lit for trial, W. Williams will be prepared at once to
test his invention by putting off to sea in any gale or weather, either
by night or day, so as fully to estrthlish the proof of her superiority
over all the other life-boats now in use.
N.B. Any person desirous of inspecting the Inventor's Model, will
be readily waited on by him, either in town or country.

Mr. PARK ES objected to the petit ion being received, on the
of the petition, in conformity with the standing orders.
The CHAIRMAN said that he had consulted the Speaker
on the hearing of that standing order ; and his decision
wm, that as there were several petitions presented prior
to his having given notice of the enforcing of that standing
order, it would be unfair to the parties concerned to subject
them to that opinion. It was, therefore, only to be enr.rced
against all petite tns presented after the date of the Speaker's
order. The Committee were, therefore, of opinion that the
petition should be received.
Mr. VEs'Aners said that the allegation which he had to
submit to the Committee wa.,, against the datum level of the
line. There was no fixed poem at either termini which
would agree with th- datum level on the plans and sections.
Mr. PAtu submitted that the allegation could not be
sustained inasmuch as the objection was not specifically
stated in the petition.
Mr. ViniABLES considered that the objection was properly
set out in the petition. Ih would prove that error existed.
The CumnatAN thought the allegation should have been
specified by one or other terntini.
Mr. VEsantxa said. th,:t allegation was that there was no
fixed point at either termini, and that he considered was
sufficient, as he would prove that error.
The room was then cleared, and upon the return of the
parties,
The CfIAIRMAN said he bad to inform the agents that the
Committee were of opinion that in this case the matter com-
plained of was not specifically stated in the petition, and'
therefore the allegation could not be sustained.
The standing orders wore then declared to have been cOn-
plied with.

LORD LINCOLN and the ELECTORS

OF SOUTH NOTTS.
Lord Lincoln hiving vacated his seat for South Notting-
hamshire, by accepting the office of Chief Secretary for Ire-
land, has issued the following address to his late consti-
tuents :

TO T:IE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION' OF THE

COUNTY OF Norrtsciltaic.
" Gentlemen,—lt was this day prop.,sel to me. through
the gracious favour of the Queen, that. I should undertake
the important office of Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieute-
o‘nt of Ireland.

I have felt it to be my duty to accept that appointment,
~ni the seat in Parliament which I have occupied by your
suffrages for fourteen years has thereby become vac•tnt.
" I hasten to solicit at your hands a renewal of the trust,
of which I hope I have not proved mygelf unworthy, either
by the step which I have now taken, or by any oilier act of
my political life.

:So far as mere personal considerations are concerned, I
might have lisitteed at toy other moment to exelia: ge the
office which I lately held tinder the Crown for that which I
have now undertaken.
" Circumstances which have lately taken place amongst
vcu have, however, overruled every personal objection, and
make me rejoice in a legitimate and constitutional oppor-
tunity of appearing at this particular juncture before the
constituent body which has repeatedly honoured me with
its confidence.
" When, a few days ago, I received the formal announce-
ment of a resolution passed unanimously at a meeting of
.the Nottinghamshire Agricultural Protection Association,
calling upon me to resign my seat—a resolution in which
my ' honour' was oprnly assailed—my first impulse was
to comply with the demand, and instantly appeal from that
meeting to tl)e whole constituency by a new election. Re-
flection, however, and a deepsense of constitutional obliga-
tions forbade that course.

" The Constitution does not recognise the right of a Mem-
ber of Parliament to divest himself of the trust confided to
him. It has not even given him the power to do so. The
resignation of his seat can only be accompliz,hed by a fiction
—by a request fur a nominal office at the bands of the
Crown. The principle of delegation is at variance with the
spirit of our institutions, and those who demur to the ex-
pediency of annual Parliaments are beund to resist such a
call as that which has been made upon me, come front whom
it may.
" I know that

situated like mirsalteliev• lately
wagyoulibat ;TN; dile to their
iononr, called in question as mine has been. I honour and
respect their motives, whilst I deprecate the step they have
taken, and fear that they hardly foresee the consequences of
their example.
"Neither they nor I were sent to Parliament as agents or
advocates of one interest in preference to others, -but as
Members of a deliberate assembly bound to legislate for the
good of all—for the interest of the nation as a whole. Of
thst whole von form an important part ; and in my conscience
I believe that neither have I heretofore done, nor am I now
doing, that of which in calmer times you will have reason to
complain.
"I am told that I shall be opposed by a candidate put
forward by the Agricultural Protection Society. Let me
warn you of. the danger of submitting to the dictation of
any political association or club, however respectable may
be its members. That danger is increased when, as in the
case of the Protection Society, such a club is, if not affi-
liated to, at least in direct communication with, and acting
under the direction of, a central body sitting in London.
Believe me, such a system is fraught with mischief to all
interests, but especially to that which this Society professes
to protect.

4 Whilst, however, I repudiate the principle of being your
delegate, and elahn the highest position of your representa-
tive, I freely recognise your right to the fullest and most ex-
plicit expression of my opinions upon all political subjects. I
will, therefore, attend any meeting in any part of the division
to which you may summon me, between this time and the
day of election, to discuss with you the measures lately in-
troduced by her Majesty's Government, and at my norni-
natioa at Newark you shall find me ready to explain and to
justify my conduct.
" I cannot within the limits of an address enter into the
details of so large and comprehensive a scheme of commercial
policy as that lately laid before the House of Commons. This
much, however, I am bound in candour, when addressing an
agricultural constituency, to say—that on the question of the
corn-laws my opinions are changed. In 1841, honestly, and
not from any party motive, I advocated measures for what is
now called Protection of native industry.' Mature re-
flection,--constant and anxious consideration of the subject,—
attention year after year to the arguments brought forward
in the House on one side and on the other,—above all, the
experience of the last four years have convinced me, not that
the corn-laws alone should be abolished, but that our whole
commercial system, should be subjected to a great, a bold,
and a comprehensive revision.
" This change of opinion has not come suddenly upon me.
Three years ago my confidence in the principles of protec-
tion was greatly shaken,—last year I felt that they bad be-
come indefensible. Still, looking to the mischief of any
violent shock to party attachment (not for the sake of the
leaders of party, but for the sake of public confidence), and
conscious of the peculiar circumstances under which the
present Parliament was elected, I felt anxious that, if pos-
sible, this great but inevitable change should be postponed
till after the next dissolution of Parliament. This, however,
I had firmly resolved—that I would never again appeir be •
fore you on the hustings without an express stipulation that
I should be free to vote for the repeal of the corn. laws.
"But, in the autumn of last year, it pleased Provi once to
visit our country, and more especially the sister island, with
an infliction which some have ventured to doubt, nar, even
to deride, bat the alarming extent of which I greatly fear
has yet to be unfolded. Thne the desires of politicians have
been frustrated, the calculations of statesmen have been
thwarted. What would have bean praiseworthy caution and
deference to existing circumstances, in times of abundance
and prosperity, would now be culpable neglect, or a slavish
submission to the fear of reproach and personal odium.
The Government has been compelled, by an imperative
sense of duty, to bring forward at once a final settlement of
these questions, for none but a final settlement— no half
measures—uo temporising expedients—could ever again be
entertained; and I am prepared to adopt my full share of
the responsibility which must attach to the members of a
Government which has endeavoured to reconcile in a great
and comprehensive scheme the various, but not conflicting
interests of the ceuatry.
I regret that the shortness of the interval between the
issue of the writ and the day of election will not allow me to
wait personally upon each of you at your homes. I have, on
this account, suffered my address to run to greater length
than I could have otherwise desired.
" Again, 1 must assure you that, after the imputations
which have been cast upon my motives and my conduct, 1
hail with satisfaction an opportunity of appealing to your
auffrages. I look forward with confidence to the result, and
anticipate with no faltering hope my return to Parliament,
for the sixth time, as your representative —I have the honour
to be, Gentlemen, your ever faithful friend and servant,

THE REPRESENTATION OF
BUCKING HAM.
The following; address has been issued by the Marquis of
Chandos to the worthy and independent electors of the
borough of Buckingham and its boundary parishes :
" Gentlemon,—l hasten to thank you most sincerely for
the honour you have conferred.on me, by the requisition so
numerously signed, to offer myself as a candidate to repro'
sent your borough in Parliament.
" Mors consonant would it have been to my wishes and
feelings to have remained for the present a private indivi-
dual in your neighbourhood ; but after this most gratifying
proof of your good opinion and regard, I cannot decline the
request, arid offer my humble but faithful services to those
for whose unvarying kindness and generous confidence I am
so deeply obliged.
" Untried in political life, I must entirely depend on your
accepting honesty of purpose to compensate for the want of
superior talent and experience; assuring you that my best
services shall always ha at your command.
"As regards my opisiens upon some of the important
subjects which at th?'s time occupy the attention of the
country, I will in sincerity assure you that there is no one
more truly attached than myself to the Established Church,
and my exertions wilt ever be used to preserve, unimpaired,
the Protestant religion.
" Upon the important que,ition-of the corn-laws, I at once,
frankly avow my decided opposition to the measures now in-
troduced by the Government, and my desire and determine-
ti.n to endeavour to preserve that protectidn which the agri-
cultural interest has hitherto possessed, and to which it has
so just a claim. _ _

"I hive ever felt respect and sympathy for the industrious
classes: my attention shall be given to the subject of the
poor-lavrs, being desirous to do all I can to ameliorate them,
to insure to the labourer and his family every possible com-
fort, and to protect their interests.

need not add how gratifying it will be to me to promote
to the utmost the intereats of the town cf Buckingham and
its neighbourhood; sand Flail always feel anxioua to carry
out the wishes of the inhabitants, and to have the gratifica-
tion of fre,quently communicating with them, and receiving
tl car opinions

"I hope to have the honour, before the clay of election, of
waiting upon you, and again repeating my grateful thanks
for your kindness awl good opinion, which I hope, by honeet
conduct, with the bles,ing of God, to retain through

put a number of questions to Mr. Lockhart. The answers
elicited to these questions were, that Mr. Lockhart thought
Sir Robert Peel had gone too far in hie measure. The ques-
tions referred to Sir Robert Peel's measure—the equalieetion
of the prison assessment in the burghs and counties—sites
for the Free Church, &c. Mr. Lockhart thought Sir Robert's
measure went too far. He was not prepared to give an
opinion in regard to the prison assessment ; and in reference
to the Free Church, he stated that he would have no objec-
tion to give sites if clear cases were made out that such were
needed in the particular localities where they were requested.
The SIIERIFF, without taking a show of hands, asked if a
poll was desired, when Mr. Pringle, on the part of Mr. Lock-

The retirement from Parliament of the doubting Lord
Henniker affords the tenant-farmers of East Suffolk an op-
portunity of rescuing themselves from the thraldom which
has so long oppressed them, and which was so unblushingly
declared by the now sole Member for East Suffolk, Lord
Rendlesham, in his notorious assertion of the " landlord in-
fluence" on the hustings at Ipswich, in April, 1843. The de-
risive shout which met that insolent taunt—albeit that the
tenantry of East Suffolk were compelled to " pocket the
affrent'L-was an indication of the working change in their
minds since 1841. It is now for them to throw back the taunt
upon their noble representative ( ?), and following thegiorious
example of the West Riding efYorkahlre, assert the influenct
of the many over the few, tho nation over the oligarchy.
Mr. Alexander Sheet° Adair has loosened the t( screw" in
East Suffolk, and in the short interval between the election
of June, 1341, znd that of April, 1443, he had reduced the
Conservative majority 341 votes, under the most unfavour-
able circumstances—a Tory Government high in favour; but
partly by the aid of the Canada flour question. If that slight
movement towards a liberal policy in commerce worked such
wonders in the agricultural county of East Suffolk, what will
be the result of the Government's free-trade declarations?
It will be for Mr, Adair to give the electors another chance
of throwing off the influence of the Bencea and the Myddle-
tons, if Lord Rendlesham should dare to hasard a nominee,
and to show that hir, pledge to buckle on his armour and
"shiver another' lanes in the lists" of reform was not an idle
one. The unanimity manl&sted a short time since at the
meeting at Frainlingham Castle augurs vouch fbr his success
if he should again come forward,
The following is Lord lient.iker's fbrewell address :
"TO Trim to.Ectrons OF THE EASTERN DIVISION or SUFFOLK.
0 Gentlemen,—Having had the honour of representing the
eastern division of this county in four successive Parliaments,
and having, during that period, enjoyed your confidence and
approbation, it is cause for deep regret to me that circum-
stances have occurred which have induced me to relinquish
the high trust so long reposed in me.
" The membere of the present Government, whose general
pollcv I have cordially supported, having thought it advisable
to introduce the important subject of the corn-laws to the
consideration of the Legislature, with a strong expreasion of
tlieir opinion that a relaxation of those laws at the present too.
mint, and their total repeal after a few years, are essential to
the public welfare, I have felt myself called upon to 'recon-
sider the auttioet and the objects of them; and confSet lam
unable entirely to satisfy myself what Mins I ought to pur-
sue consistently with my implied rremises to you other than
that 1 have adopted,
Nlly acknowledge that, at the last general election,. I
declared the maintenance of protective laws to be Indispen-
sable to the interests of agricult- re, en which, I need
.
scarcely remind you, uiv Awn arel dependent,. and I
fv.ir-
tually pledged Myself to' uphold that opinion ;—but,
om
the statements and reasons adduced by the first Minister of
the Crown, with the almost
unanimous concurrence of the
Cabinet, composed as It Is of many
persons of the highest
Fliaeacter for ability and experience, and whose interests are
identified with tliose of agriculture, I am so far rendered
doubtful in mord tO nay previous convictions, that I do not
fe e,l I eotild conscientiously perform my duty without entire
liberty of action, and exemption frail all former understood
pledges, icc.
"Placed hi this position, I have no alternative but to re-
sign my seat in Parliament, for otherwise, in case of my
concurrence in the views of the Government, I must have
acted inconsistently with my own conscientious convictions
in opposing them, or with ray implied promises to you, in
supporting them. I have, therefore, this day taken the usual
course for accomplishing my determination.
" In taking keys of you, permit me to say that your con-
vent kindness and consideration for me call for the expres-
sion of my warmest thanks; your confidence hitherto has
been most gratifying to me, and it has been, indeed, e source
of satisfaction to me to have had the opportunity of forming
friendships with very many for whom I entertain sincere
regard, and I hope -that the friendly sentiments I have ex-
perienced may continue unabated.
" With great esteem, and fervent wishes far your prosperity
and happiness, I hi.Ye the honour to be, gentlemen, your
very faithful and obedient servant,

EXTENSIVE FIRES.—GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PRO-
PelP.TY.—On Sunday morning, between six and seven o'clock,
a tire, attended with a considerable destruction of valuable
property, broke out upon the premises in the occupation of
Air. J. Slaney, a cabinet manufacturer, in Skinner-street.
Bishopsgate. The discovery was made by Sergeant Teague.
of the City force. Without loss of time an alarm was spread
in the usual way, and other constables coming up, they an.
deavoured to remove same of the property contained in the
manufactory. In that endeavour they were, however, unsuc-
cessful, for in leas than ten minutes after the first discovery
the flames were rushing through the roof and windows, threat-
ening destruction to the premises belonging to Messrs. Flo-
rence, known as the Bisho_pagate Distillery, and also to the
adjoining property of Mr. Bateman, timber merchant. Nume-
rous engines belonging to the London brigade came in rapid
succession, and a plentiful supply of water was discharged,
into the burning premises; but it was nearly. ten
o'clock before the conflagration was entirely extinguished.
By that time the whole of Mr. Slanev's stock in the factory
was consumed, and the building nearly gutted. The oriel'?
of the fire is unknown. Mr. Slaqey was insured for 514
but that was stated to be 6001. or 7001. below the lone. The
damage to Mr. Bateman's stock is fortunately notx

COMMITTAL of a SHAREBROKER
FOR FORGERY.
On Saturday last Herman Julius Marcus, a stock and share-
broker carrying on business in Leeds, was brought before tha
Mayor (Mr. J. D. Luecock) and Mr. E. Baines and Mr. D.
W. Nell, two of the Leeds borough justice, for final exami-
nation on a charge of forgery. '1 he examination terminated
in the committal of the prisoner for trial at the ensuing as-
sizes at York, but the magistrates consented to admit the
prisoner to bail—liimself being., bound in re7ognizances to
theauitount of 3001., and sureties lsathe same amount. The
rive is one of a rather peculiar character, and from the re-
spectability of the prisoner, his position in society, and other
circumstances, great interest has been excited in Leeds by
the disoovery of the alleged forgery, and the Borough Court-
bout., in which the exam. :nation took place, was crowded
every part by the principal merchants, tradesmen, share-
brokers, and
.other respect:ale inhabitants of the town and'
neighbourhood. Before giving an outline of the facts of the.
eesa, as developed by the evidence, we may mention.
that Mr. Marcus, who is a German by birth, but;
has been naturalised in England by a special Act of Parlia-
ment. ps.eed Some .years ag , has resided in Leeds a long
time, and followed the business of a wool-broker, till tha
spring of last year, when he gave up that business,, and
started as a stock and sharebroker, in partnership with a
gentleman named Nay for, under the firm of Marcus, Nay.
for, and Co. The partnership, however, was dissolved
some few months ago, and after the alleged forgery was
committed, but of the forgery Mr. Naylor appears to have
had not the slightest knowledge or suspicion till it was dis-
, coverail a few days ago. Mr. Marcus for many years past
has takes an active part in the management of the Me-
chanise' Institute, the Philosophical and Literary Society,
and some other institutions for the promotion of know-
ledge, as well ae others for benevolent and charitable °b-
igots. He is a mau of considerable natural abilities and.
mental acquirements, and has hitherto bees received in
society as a man of irreproachable character. The party
whose name be le alleged to have forged was one of his
most intimate friends, Mr. Darnton Lupton, a magistrate ct
the borough, and the Mayor of Leeds for the year ending
the 9tla of November last. The facts of the case may be
briefly stated as fellows I—ln the month of July last, Mn
Marcus bought of Mr. Henry Ellvthorpe Robson, of Liver-
pool, S 7 *hares in the London and Croydon Railway for the
sum of 1,9991., and also 13 other shares in the same railway
for the sum of 299/., On the usual transfer deeds for th-a
transfer of these shares being executed, Mr. Marcos had the
deeds filled up in the form of a transfer of the shares to Mr.
Lupton, and he signed the name " Darnton Lupton" to the
deeds, in the capacity of the transferee, and put his own
name, "IL J. Marcus,f/ as the attesting witness. The 100
London and Croydon shares thug bought were afterwards
sold by Messrs. Marcus and Naylor, in lots, to five or six
different persons; ami in the various deeds necessary for the
transfer of the different lots of shares, Mr. Marcus signed
the name of Mr. Lupton as the transferor. The money for
the purchase of the shares was paid by the firm, and the va-
rious transsaiotis were entered in the partnership books as
on ac'eotint of Mr. Lupton; but Mr. Lupton denied that ha
had anything to do with the purchase or sale of the shares,
and that Mr. Marcus had no authority from him to sign his
name. The whole 100 shares were sold for about 1741. 106.
more than they cost, which balance Mr. Naylor
derstood had been paid by Mr. Marcus to M.

in a conversation with

them by Mr. Marcus, and that some weeks elapsed before

they rose again so as to allow Mr. Marcus to sell them at a
profit; indeed, that he sold the first lot of them at a loss.
Mr. Sanderson was allowed to address the bench, and in
an able speech he contended that Mr. Marcus had not been
guilty of fraud, nor the intention of fraud, and therefore.
though he had committed an improper and an immoral act,
he was not guilty of forgery.
The Magistrates, however, took a different view of the
case, and committed the prisoner for trial.
He appeared to feel his degraded position most keenly, aedr-

THE NEW JOHN GILPIN.
(From Parch.)

SHOWING HOW PEEL WENT FURTHER THAN
HE INTENDED, AND CAME SAFE HOME
AGAIN.

Sir Robert Peel was a Minister
Of credit and renown ;
And, eke, by virtu:' of his place,
Adviser o. the Crown.
Now RICHARD COBDEN said to him,
" Protected Corn has been
Thro' thrice ten tedious years, since eight-
Teen hundred and fifteen.
" Yet landlords and eke tenants say
Of profits they despair ;
Despite Protection, growing corn
Is a losing affair.
" There's Mr. BRIGHT, and there's myself,
And Mr. Fox —make three ;
We've raised a League, and you must ride
(As BEN says) after we:'
Said PEEL, " Your doctrines I admire,
But I am only one ;
Still, if the Duke will stick to me,
I'll try what can be done.
" I am a Premier stout and bold,
As all my party know;
And my good friends in Manchester
Will lend their horse to go."
Now see him in his new Tariff,
On Free Trade—noble steed !
Full slowly taking duties off,
With caution'and good heed.
Then came the blight, and fears arose
We'd not have food to eat,
Free Trade, from walking, 'gan to trot,
Which shook PEEL in his seat.
" Fairly and softly," PEEL he cried,
But PEEL he cried in vain ;
The trot became a gallop soon,
And Free Trade flew amain.
Then giving up, as needs he must
Who cannot help his plight,
PEEL seized Free Trade, and like a shot
Flew past Protection quite.
Free Tra'le, who by a Tory lord
had ne'er been c ross'd before,
What thing upon his back had got
Did wonder more awl more,
Away went ROBERT—nedI/4 or nought, -
Past Radical and Whig ;
He little thought when he begun
His bill would be so big.
The Poet did bark, the Herald scream'd
Oat spoke the farmers all,
And every Duke cried out " For shame!"
As loud as he could bawl.
Away went Robert ! Who but he ?
Free Trade still gaining ground,
He carries weight—he'll win his race,
His horse's wind is sound.
Still, as Division-day drew near
'Twas wonderful to view
How overboard the men in place
Their old conviAions threw.
Thro' manufactures of all kinds*
His gambols he did play,
And came to Corn-laws at the last,
Which stood dead in the way.
The sliding-scale he kneeled about
Unto his friends' dismay,
And fix'd how that at three years' end
The tax should die away.
Free Trad., not satisfied at all
To wait for three years more,
Stt eight gallopp'd off with all his iaight,
As he had done before.
Away went Robert, with the League
Still thundering at his heel,
Insisting loud in total and
Immediate repeal.
The county. Members in the House,
Thus seem.. Robert fly,
Withr
a lae and ery
Lord Jt7:thl Russell in his rear,
Set up
" Step thief ! Stop thief ! a highway man :"
A wNnlollt IneDoisf themra
.eli was
daCs omhuiutehoun
tnre
elt pursuit.
The
o eel
kaasehe
Bat Free 'l'rade's bottom, bone, and wind,
Made it a hopeless race.
The race is run, the race is won
With credit and renown ;
Nor did Free Trade draw breath until
Tue Corn-laws he ran down.
Now let us sing Long live the League,
And Cobden, long live he;
And when Peel next doth ride Free Trade,
May Punch his Laurent be.
