having g.ven it up. lie had the pleasur s f Israeli's acquaintance, and he had no: favoured him
as an avowal of his intention; It might be true,
yet he was not acquainted with it. It must be
sing in the extreme to Mr. Disraeli to witness
,ch great anxiety that he should give it up.—(Hear,
Lear.) It appeared that Mr. Disraeli had said, that
until the voice of the people of England declared that
they were in favour of protection he saw no chance of
its return. Mr. Disraeli said more. He said, that
he saw no chance of a restoration of protection until
there was a new Parliament.—(gear, hear.) But
be had gone further than that ; be bad said, he saw
the grossest injustice committed upon one class of
the people of this country; he had seen burdens
imposed upon them under the idea that
they were to be borne under a particular
system; be had seen that system abrogated. Now
the Parliament of England refused to restore that
protection, and he said, therefore, that they must find
some other remedy for the distress of which he
complained.—(Cheers.) After reading Mr. Disraeli's
speech with all the attention that ho could give to it,
he understood thif to be Mr. Disraeli's position. He
(Mr. Disraeli) had said, " This gross injustice had
been cemmitttd, and it- could nut be allowed to exist ;
they had refused his remedy, they would not listen
to him, and he therefore called upon them who had
committed the hardship to show him another remedy,
if they could."—(Cheers.) That was, perhaps, one
of the best modes of showing the calm good sense of
this country, that if our stat(smcn and politicians in-
tended to uphold the national credit, to pay the inte-
rest of the debt, to maintain this nation in her pre-
sent position, to pay for an army and navy, to keep
up our colonies, to retain India, and to continue to be
a first-class nation, there could no remedy be found
for this crying and gross injustice, but a return to
to the system of moderate import duties.—(Cheers.)
It was very well for interested papers to endeavour
to show that Mr. Disraeli had abandoned the cause
that he had so ably advocated; but until he had it
from himself be should disbelieve it. Whatever ha
or any Protectionist might say, was derided as coming
from a set of clodhoppers and ignoramuses. Those
who would not permit Englishmen to argue or ex-
plain—those with their cosmopolitan tendency tied
affection—would perhaps allow him to quote the opi-
nions of some of the most learned men abroad. The
Noble Marquis quoted from a speech delivered by M.
Thiers in the Chamber of Deputies, France, in which,
after stating that England received at the present
time one-third of her consumption of corn from fo-
reigners, the following passage occurs :—" At the
present day they give the English people bread at a
very low price. I don't deny it ; but when war oc-
curs, even should England remain mistress of the
field of battle . . • then will that nation see the
price of bread doubled, perhaps trebled." The Noble
Lord next quoted from the New York Herald :
" Without the abrogation of the British restrictive
laws, the United States was destined very soon to
shove Great Britain aside from the eminence she so
long proudly boasted on the seas, but with the over-
throw of her great monopoly of sea transportation
this fact was rendered doubly certain ;" and that "no
part of this distinction had been earned by emigra-
tion : let John Bull stick a pin in there." Having
quoted other passages from the speech of M. Thiers,
asserting that the products of a country should be
protected if a nation were to remain independent and
prosperous, Lord Granby read from a published
work by Mr. Carey, an American, which strongly
advocated the return in America to a more protec-
tive system, although nearly all the products of that
country were already protected at the rate of 30 per
cent. What was the reason the English farmer was
unable to compete with the foreigner in the British
market ? Mr. Disraeli had insisted that it was owing to
the:great burdens they had to bear; but he might have
gone further, and instanced the much higher wages
he had to pay than the foreigner, owing to the na-
tional debt, and because there was scarcely an article
that the labourer consumed that was not taxed. That
was an argument that had not, and he ventured to
say that would not, be answered.—(Hear, hear.) If
they could do without these taxes the English farmer
might be able to compete with the foreigner; but
until they could do that they could not flourish or
exist unless there were a moderate duty put upon the
importation of foreign corn,--(Cheers.) When be
made use of that argument in the House of Com-
mons, Sir James Graham admitted that theslabourer's
beer, tobacco, and other articles were taxed ; but
asked if that were a reason why his bread should be
taxed also ? Now that was not meeting the argu-
ment fairly. Sir James Graham forgot, in his
answer, that if they raised the price of the labourer's
bread with one hand, with the other they gave him
that which would enable him to pay the increased
price, as well as the high prices for the other articles
which they obliged him to pay.—(Hear, hear.) And
Sir James Graham also overlooked the most• impor-
tant fact as to the difference of taking the tax off an
article imported from abroad which was produced
in this country, and an article imported from
abroad which could not be produced in this
country. For example : he would take the
article of tea. It they took off the tax upon tea,
amounting, he thought, to the sum of 4,000,0001.,
they conferred an undivided benefit upon the
labourer, without causing a single leaf lees to be
produced in this country for the very valid reason
that nut a single leaf was produced in this country
—(flear, hear.) But if they took the tax off foreign
corn its supply would be increased, and the supply of
English corn decreased, while, at the same time, in
some instances they decreased the labourer's wages,
*and in others deprived him of wages altogether.—
(Hear, hear.) They were told that the labouring
classes of this country were never better off. He be-
lieved that at present they were receiving nearly as
high wages as formerly, and obtained their food
cheaper ; but this was an unnatural state of things,
and would not last, for it was impossible to diminish
the fund from which the labourer was paid, and at
the same time pay him as high wages as be now
received.—(Hear, hear.) In Ireland the effect of
recent legislation had told in a most deplorable man-
ner; and she was but the mirror of our fortunes, un-
less the policy that had caused the distress were re-
versedit(Hear, hear.) In a free-trade journal, the
llfornzng Chronicle, he found the following state-
ment :—" Day by day emigration was increasing,
and the proportion of the better class of farmers
making their way to America is augmenting. Even
small traders, and some of the professional classes
are leaving the country. During the lea'. week vast
numbers have left Dublin ; some directly from this
pert (Dublin), hut the great majority by way of
Liver! 0 )1. On Friday last (Oct. 3), on passing along
the quays, the Cu tool-house quay was crowded with
emigrants and their families to the number of at least
1,000, the far greater l raportion of whom appeared
to be persons in comfortable circumstances, many of
the females being clothed with silk. Oae of the mo: t
remarkable features was a number of stout, health.) •
looking, well-dressed young men, between the ag s
of eighteen and twenty-five. Instead of showing
the indications of regret which had hitherto been ap-
parent amongst emigrants, all these people seemed in
the highest spirits on leaving their native country."
Surely this was a matter of consideration :
" E'en now the devastation has begun,
And half the business of destruction's done:

E'en nlvv, methinks, as pondering here I stand

_
I see the rural virtues leave the land.
Dawn where yen anchoring vessel spreads the sail
waiting, flaps with every gale; ,
e, the melancholy band
Pass from the shore, and darken all the strand?'
DownwardThatidly they mope,
—(Cheers.) The prophecy of the poet was unfortu-
nately realised in the present day—thousands were
leaving their native land. It mattered little whether
emigration were owing to the attraction of America
or the repulsion of Ireland the cause was the same—
it was that Ireland was devastated by free trade,
(Cwhile America was flourishing under protection.—
heers.) He feared that from the present House of
Commons there was but little chance of obtaining a
return to protection, or any justice to the land. They
must look solely to the next election. It was in the
registration courts and at the polling booths that they
must fight for the rights of labour in this country, if
the question were to be fought at all. It was to h
electors of the country they must look ;
threw their hearts into the cause—if they

BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED 1/11URDER.—YeSterd8y
information was received by the metropolitan police that
between one and three o'clock on Sunday morning the dwel-
ling-house of Mr. J. Cheekle.r, farmer, at Cornewall, near
Chipping Norton, was burglariously entered by two men,
one 01 whom had his lace blackened. Mr. Cheekley was
awoke by hearing the:n in the servant's bed-room—caging
the girl by her name, Betsey. They told her to lie still
and they would not hurt her. He instantly sprang out c f

men stabbed him with a table-knife, and beat him with a
bludgeon, till, from loss of blocd, he fell down insensible.
