STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, AUG. 9.—The de-
mand for foreign wools has continued steady throughout
the past week, and prices are very firmly maintained.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, AUG. 9.—There
has been a large business done this week in clothing
wools, and prices may be quoted a little higher. Comb-
ing wools have been well sought after, but the manufac-
turers.seem little disposed to buy, except to supply their
immediate wants, at the small advance which took plane
a short time ago.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, AUG. 9.--13011SUMeri
come more freely to market to, give the slight advance
lately sought by the staplers, the lighter descriptions of
combing wools being most in demand ; but from the
high prices given to the growers in all districts, stocks
cannot be replaced even with this slight advance. Blan-
ket wool continues scarce, and worth rather more money.
YORK WOOL MARKET, AUG. B.—The show of woke
was only moderate, and the sale rather dull. The hold-
ers asked more than the buyers were willing to give'
The prices for good mixed lots of Hog and Ewe were
14i. 6d., 155., and 15s. 6d. Moor 'Wool continues low,
not realising more than 75., 7s. 6d., and Bs. per stone, at
which prices a tolerable good clearance was made.
LEEDS.—There was more business done at the cloth
halls this week than for some time past, bat this Was
only from the circumstance that more goods were
brought to the cloth halls, as the stocks were left in the
same exhausted state at the close of the marker as has
been the case of late. Low goods are still looking IT
but fine qualities are without any alteration in price, er
though there is a little more doing in them. There has
been a good deal of business done in the warehouses
during the week, more particularly in heavy goods for
the winter demand.
B4RNSLEY.—The linen trade is steadily improving,
the weavers are chiefly fully employed, and there is a
good prospect of a brisk autumn trade.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is a - fai t
business doing in.the pieco trade, both by shippers an,."
home trade merchants ; and as the prospects of .tue
harvest are favourable, a full trade is not generally e 1
petted till late on in the season. Inprices there is no Inv
terial change. In the yarn trade, very little change has bee
apparent for some time past, and the yarns generally 03
taken off as produced. The stocks on hand are lig,berj
and prices very firm. The market is now well supple
with all kinds of combing wool, both colonial and 13v1"
tish, and for which the demand is hardly so buoyant 0
last week, but there is no alteration in prices.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, FBlDAY.—Though the ae"
counts from Calcutta and Bombay are not very favour'
able as regards the trade of this district, still a 100
business is doingat both 'places—whilst from t,"
4.
northern parts or China the accounts are decidedly 0.
vourable. The commercial intelligence brought by till
last mail is on the whole deemed rather favourable,
though the effect produced on the market on Tuesday
was scarcely perceptible, the demand being much tile
same as on the previous week. Since Tuesday there'll
been but little change either in the demand or value
any kinds of cloth (though. the calico printers are 110,4
using an increased quantity, owing to the supply
water, by which their works are in full operation) ;
is owing to an increased supply of this kind of elo'
and caused by a number of manufacturers turning theft
looms to the production of these fabrics. Twist is la nn
rt
abated demand, and the turn dearer for the exe
numbers.—Leeds Mercury.
NOTTINGHAM, AUG. B.—The lace trade continue''
a lively state for fancy articles, and for coarse and middy
in plain nets and quilling. This market It;
therefore, bare of stock of all kinds—even fine plain Iler,
are sold off, and scarcely any are making but to ortlif
Coarse yarns, up to one hundred and eighty, are denide"ce,
worth more than at any time during the late afivelii]
and are daily becoming more scarce. A demand s.
sprung up for both 'Scotland and Ireland of some rerr
nitude for these numbers, accompanied by such a of
vival at Bradford, as to render any material increaser,.
stock, and consequent reduction in prices, very Woo
bable before next year. The sales of bobbin and lv_el
silk nets and laces, plain and figured, white, colotrio
and black, have been unusually large both in 1-Ing,
and America during the past season ; and will
dently require more means to be provided for the
ply of the coming one. This is a very important a.,,,c1 r.
tion to the diversified operations of the trade, natc,,rot
manently located in this neighbourhood. The 011'01
certain blessing of an abundant harvest is cheering
stimulating trade here as in most other great man°
tories.—Leicestershire Mercury.

SALE OF A WIFE AT LEEDS.—On Saturday .fter
noon one of these disgraceful and illegal transael'foi,
the sale of a wife, took place with all the ordinary 0,
mantles, in the butter and poultry market, in this t0)001
The wife, who was a rather good-looking woman, 5,,0,
25 years old, made her appearance according to cus"o,
with a halter round her neck, which, in our opield
might with some show of justice, have been transfer` 0
to the neck of her worthless husband, and made to fi4.
little more tightly. A large crowd of people having
thered round, the husband, George Woodhead, of Ilea"
worth, near Doncaster, who officiated as auctioneer' bis
ceeded with the sale, and speedily "knocked doriotioi
better half (as he is said to have done many a col
before, in another way) to the highest bidder, ,ejt
Tier, William Idle, of Ousewell-green, near Roth° d
who purchased the lady for five shillings. Shhe 11:fP
been married to Woodhead, who is servant wit 60
Allen, farmer and butcher, of Hemsvvorth, abentrael,
years, three of which she had lived in service, in 0 bad
it is said, to escape from his ill-usage. The 1000
been mutually arranged between the parties, before mat'
took place, the woman having contracted a see°e,
riage with Idle in January last, and been livlite the
him since that time. The people who assembles : rathe
occasion would have handled the husband
roughly, had he not escaped into an adjoining r-
house ; but he did not, however, long escape the P°4lei
he being apprehended soon after by Mr. Read, the urid
constable. After being remanded for some days, di' cot
which he remained in prison, he was brought 111:100
final examination, before George Goodman and op

when, on his master and himself entering into '"t"

their opinions upon the evidence adduced. It esim.
prises the several depositions of Mr. Edward Savage
Bailey, a solicitor ; R. Mayne, Esq., the Commis•
sioner of Police ; Mr. T. Baker, one of the superin-
tendents of that force ; the Lord Strafford, G.C.8.,
&c. Mr. Weatherby, publisher of the Racing Ca -
lendar ; Mr. Vincent Dowling, editor of "Bell's Life
in London ;" Captain Brabazon Higgins, Mr. Ilib.
bert, Mr. Richard Tattersall, Mr. Hyde,. Mr. Rich-
ardson, and the late Mr. O'llanlon. The great poikt
which the evidence of these individuals principally
tends to establish is—that if betting were legalizes;,,
so as to make sporting wagers recoverable like other
debts; the effect would be two-fold :-Ist, to saves
parties who mean to pay from the imprudence they ats-
, present commit by betting with utter strangers who
do not intend to pay, if they lose ; but who insist ova
being paid if they win ;-2d, to put an end to
the system at present notoriously pursued by mete
of straw, who, having betted very largely at Tatter-
sail's or elsewhere, with sporting character of knowrs
substance and honour, stand to win enormously if tls
events they back come off in their favour, but veto
levant without scruple if these events come off against"
them. They either disappear, in such a case, en -
tirely from the turf and the betting-ring, or, having
the effrontery to re-appear, set the persons to whore
they have lost at defiance under the present law,.es
laid down in 16 Car. 11., ev. 7, and 9 Anne, cap. 14.
Mr. Bailey's evidence is an admirable summary of
decided cases, with arguments of counsel and inter-
locutories of judges on suits arising out of foot and
horse races, &c. The extent to which levanting. ort
defaulting, has been carried within the last two or,
three years, is almost incredible. Mr. Dowling Matta
as follows :
Have you lost any money yourself, or fur any of yi-Air
correspondents, to any defaulter ?—ln one particular in-
stance. I paid a bet to a levanter, which bet I should
not have paid if I had been informed of his intention to
levant. It was a bet made on con-mission. Had he
paid, according to the rules of the turf, he would haves
been entitled to my bet. I paid him 201., which wa%
money lost for a person for whom I betted on commis-
sion. I paid, presuming he was about to pay the bets
'be had lost, which he did not do. Had I been aware of
his intention I need not have paid him that 201.
What is his name ?—Mr. . .
Was he capable of paying ?—He was not, probably.
capable of paying to the extent he had lost: lie lost, I
believe, to the extent of 22,000/. I have hoard he of-
fered a compromise.
Is that man in England ?—I believe he is now bettinre e'
sub rose, but I cannot state that of my own knowledge-
There is no doubt he can pay a portion of that which
he lost ?—I believe he has offered to pay four shillings
in the pound.
Mr. Hibbert, a gentleman of fortune, gives two or
three remarkable cases, in which he has been vic-
timised after the same fashion.
Did you lose for Mr.
so much, but several thousands.
Did he ever pay you any part of it ?—Never.
Was it above 8,0001. ?—I had some other transactions
with him, and I know that altogether he owed me
10,0001.
Did you ever apply to him to pay the sum which you
had lost for him ?—Over and over again.
You gained no benefit by having been his commis-
sioner ?—Not the least in the world.
Had you to pay the bets which you had lost for him ?
—Yes.
What did he say when you asked him for the money?.
—He is a very plausible sort of a gentleman ; he put me
off from time to time, saying that he would do no an&
so, and gave me a bond for something of the kind, but
begged me never to enter it up. I think I had two
bonds on his part, which, with the betting upon that day,
mixed up with other transactions, amounted altogether
to 10,0001.
Do you know what has become of him ?---The last I
heard of him was that he used to go to Liverpool a good
deal ; and then I heard that he was at the Isle of Man.
The last thing I heard was that he was upon the Welsh
coast.
Mr. R. Tattersall's evidence is very characteristic.
He speaks with absolute enthusiasm about racing and
horses ; on betting, he delivers himself with all the
sagacity and clearness which have long been domi-
ciled at the corner of Grosvenor-place. Touching the
latter, for example—
It is my opinion that all laws as to penalties, &c.,
should be repealed which would enable a loser to recover
by law the sums he has betted and lost, he being equally
guilty of breaking the law. Those who bring qui tatur
actions have a double chance. If they win, all right; i
they lose, bring their action, and recover double ; thu
winning by losing. If such a system is suffered no mart
is safe. There are many men now living at their country
houses who owe thousands, which if they were honest
men they could pay; but no law can make them, mid
they laugh at you.
' You know that -- has bought horses since he has
been a dofaulter?—Yes ; 1 have heard so. But I am
convinced, from what I see of betting, as to young men,
it would be the saving of thousands, because young gen-
tleman who bet, and cannot afford to pay, compromise
with those betting men, to pay hereafter, and go on upon
the chance of winning again. LC you could get the money
of them by process of law it would prevent half tho
betting that now takes place, which would be a greo
thing, and save thousands from ruin.
You think it would be very desirable that the amount
of money betted should not be so large as it is now ?
—No doubt about it. It is the worst thing that can
happen to betting. If it were made legal, people would
be afraid to bet ; they would go only upon what they
could afford ; and, besides, people would not bet with
such fellows. Look at that man, --; what stakes that
man went for ! eight or ten thousand ! If he had won,
there would have been no end to it. It is not quite eta
bad as it was, but it is very bad now. I wish we mad
alter it by law.

the passing of the Reform Bill, Mr. Hume,
.a gentle-
man whom the last speaker has thought fit to place
before you in terms neither fair nor complimentary,
moved for a Committee of the whole House, for the
purpose of abolishing the then existing corn-law, and
substituting for a time a much lower fixed duty, with
a view of ultimately coming to the principle of total
free trade. Mr. O'Connor was in Parliament then,
and what said he on that motion ? Did he then say
that he was in favour of free trade with all the world,
but that he would not have free trade because the
working people were not represented. No; he did
nothing of the kind. Mr. O'Connor got up in his
place in Parliament and there and then defended the
corn-laws, and not upon any of those grounds which
he has advanced here to-day, but upon grounds totally
different. Mr. O'Connor may not be to blame in
this matter ; he may have changed his mind from
conviction since.
Mr. O'CONNOR—Not a bit of it.
Mr. BRIGHT continued—lt will not be amiss if I
give you a portion, or, if he please, and you have ,no
objection, the whole of his speech on that occasion. It
is taken from Hansard's publication of the Debates.
It has been before quoted in Mr. O'Connor's presence,
and he has never disputed the accuracy of it :
" Mr. Feargus O'Connor—My Hon. and Gallant
Friend, the Member for Bolton, has appealed to the
Irish Members noon this subject, and has called upon
me more especially, as being the representative
of the largest agricultural county in Ireland, to
give him my support. Sir, I am going to
give him my support, but it will be in the spirit
of a guardian angel, to protect him from sacrificing his
Jut,eresti}nd his happiness upon the shrine of that block
ealled political economy. The Hon. Member for Middle-
sex has said that this question is now at rest. I agree
with him, and it is the only part of his speech with which
Ido agree. It is high time that this question, which, at
present, not only agitates the manufacturing and agricul-
tural interests of England, but also the agricultural inte-
rest of Ireland, should be set at rest. It is due to this
House that I should point out certain fallacies into which
those who support the present motion have fallen, and
lay before it the different situation of Ireland, as con-
trasted with the situation of this country. The situation
of Ireland is this—we are a great agricultural country
without manufactures, and we depend, as a vent for our
produce, on the markets of England. If, then, you ad-
mit the importation of foreign corn, duty free, you will
throw us completely out of the English market ; agricul-
ture in Ireland will be neglected ; and not only will you
sacrifice the only interest existing in that country, but
also the landed interest of England, for the benefit
of the Continental growers of corn. When we shall
have ceased to cultivate our land at home, and
when foreign nations find that we have so ceased,
they will take advantage of our want of home
production, and raise the price of their own
corn at pleasure ; and thus we should be left
at the mercy or the whim and caprice of the foreign
market. It has been said that the Irish Members are una-
nimous in their determination to oppose it. I think I
speak the sentiments of a large majority of those Mem-
bers, when I state that the agitation of this question will
do considerable mischief in Ireland, and that mischief will
be increased, if a determination to put it aside for some
time is not manifested by a very large majority of this
House. This is the only question, as it appears to me,
in which the interests of the two countries are completely
united and identical. The Hon. Member for Middlesex
says that this is a question of justice against injus-
tice—of the many against the few. But what is the rea-
son that we have not heard of any manifestation of public
opinion against the corn-law ? It is this—that while
those persons who oppose the present system reside in
large towns, and are easily called together in order to
express their wishes to this House, the great agricultural
population, who are interested in the continuance of the
system, are spread thickly over the face of the country,
and have not the same facilities for meeting together
to declare their opinions upon the subject. It is said
that the repeal of the corn-laws will make bread
cheap without reducing the value of the land. This
is a doctrine I cannot comprehend. If yon reduce
the price of the produce, rent must fall ; if you keep
up the standard of rent, you cannot reduce prices ; and
if not, how can you give the people cheap bread? I
rose with a determination not to mix up any extra-
neous matter with the subject of this debate. I appeal
again to the House not to -allow itself to be led
away by the absurdities or assertions of the lion. Member
for Middlesex. Without troubling the House any farther,
I conclude by imploring the members from Ireland to
consider this as a neutral question, threatening, in its
consequences, if carried, the annihilation of the liberty,
rights, and protection of the poor man, and unanimously
to resist the motion."

COURT OF SEWERS.
On Friday, at ten o'clock, a special meeting of the
. Sewers Court for the City and Liberty of Westmin-
ster and part of Middlesex was held in the Office,
Greek-street, Soho-square, in order to summon a
jury to inquire into, and make a report of the irregu-
lar drainage of Garden-street, •and Upper Garden-
street, in the parish of St. John, Westminster, so
that the Commissioners might take the proper steps to
remove the evil complained of on the part of the pa-
rishioners.
Mr. Willoughby was called to the Chair.
The jury having been sworn, and a Foreman chosen,
the Chairman briefly explained the nature of their du-
ties and the particular subjects requiring their atten-
tion. They then, accompanied by two of the officers of
the Court, left to examine the locality alluded to, seve-
ral coaches having been, fur that purpose, provided for
their accommodation.
The jury having thoroughly investigated the dis-
trict to which their notice had been directed (than
which no part of IVestminster more courted inquiry,
as a stagnant ditch of the most abominable charac-
ter, offensive alike to the eye us to the other senses,
supplies the only drainage, if such it may be called,
for a considerable neighbourhood) returned to Greek-
street in about an hour and a half, and their names
having been called over,
Mr. SMITH, the solicitor to the Court, explained to
them the manner irt which juries, similarly called,
had acted; and he particularly remarked that, by the
simple process of amercing the parties immediately
concerned in extending that nuisance (namely, the
occupiers of houses in Garden-street and Upper
Garden-street) in a certain amount, the real owners
of the property, who were the-Dean and Chapter of
Westminster and the trustees of Tothill-fields, would
.be likely to come forward to take the responsibility
off their tenants' shoulders. That mode, though ap-
parently harsh at first sight, inasmuch as the tenants
were of the poorest class, was really the most merci-
ful, because, although these fines were hanging over
the parties, the Court did not take immediate steps
to exact them, for it had been proved, heretofore, that
iuloofs
to
ohesiert
apbozwetraotoimpdroovesdo
d so he felt confident it would
mtwhaoesd
ea very

ees,dt
iganne
be in that case. He would call two of the officers of

that Court before the jury ; the first to prove—what,
indeed, they themselves had but too well seen—the
enormity of the evil from an experience of many
years, and the frequent complaints of the sufferers in
the vicinity ; and the other to lay oa the table an
estimated cost for the construction of a new sewer in
that quarter.
Mr. Robert Jenkins, the clerk of the works, was
then examined on the first point ; and Mr. Dowley,
the surveyor, stated that the expense for the construc-
tion of a sewer sufficient for the neighbourhood would
be from 8501. to 9001. _

—Mr. O'Connell himself, who always voted in Par-
liament for the repeal of the corn-laws, and had at-
tended all the League annual meetings at Manches-
ter. The corn-laws were only maintained for the
benefit of the landlords. (A voice—" And the cot-
ron lords.") It could not be for the " cotton lords,"
fir there were only some fifteen of them in Parlia-
ment, out of the 658 nembers. After referring to
the reduction of the duty on wool, Mr. Cobden re-
verted to the case of hides, leather being an article
with which the inhabitants of Northampton were well
acquainted. The effect of prohibiting the importa-
tion of hides would be the same as the prohibition
upon wheat—there would not be half enough for ge-
neral consumption. People would he compelled to
wear wooden shoes, or go without, and the trade at
Northampton would be ruined. It had been said that
there were important interests connected with the
corn-law, and, therefore, that it should not be imme-
diately abolished. That point had been well settled
at a public meeting by a man in fustian, who asked,
"Why do you dispute about doing away with the corn-
! law all at once ? Did they not put it on all of a ruck?"
There was a certain duty imposed on French shoes ;
but the smugglers brought them into this country at
half the money ; but wheat was a more bulky article,
and could not be so dealt with, and the landlords had,
therefore, the best of the bargain. Let them, then,
have free trade in corn, for they had already done
their worst with shoes. There were other questions,
no doubt, of very great importance to the country ;
but let them not endeavour to carry those important
points by frustrating the achievement of that which
they acknowledged to be a great good. The League
would not go out of, their way to interfere with any-
other agitation, but, in any work where the road was
long and the journey arduous, a man would not be
worse off by having plenty of bread procured for him
by the way. He himself had voted for the motions of
Mr. Duncombe and Mr. Sharman Crawford. With
regard to the sugar question, his (Mr. Cobden's) ob-
ject had always been to get the people as much as
possible, and at as cheap a rate • and for ought he
cared for mere political parties, he would sell either
Whig or Tory, provided he could gain for the people
a reduction of Id. per lb. in sugar. Mr. Cobden con-
cluded by proposing the following resolution :
"That the corn-law and all other laws restricting
trade for the benefit of a class are unjust, and ought to
be forthwith abolished."
The Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Alderman COTTON seconded the resolution.
Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR then came forward amidst
loud cheers from the Chartists, and addressed the
meeting for upwards of an hour, chiefly vituperating
the manufacturers and the Anti-Corn-law League.
He said that the requisition, in pursuance of which
he attended the meeting, contained 153 signatures
more than that of Mr. Cobden. He denied in their
presence, and that of the Great Ruler of events, upon
his honour as a gentleman, and his oath as a man,
that he had ever received a farthing, or the fraction
of a farthing, from man, woman, or child, Whig,
Tory, or Chartist, corporation, or individual, in the
whole course of his existence, or had ever travelled
one mile, or had eaten one meal, at the expense of
anybody. When the poor men met at Peterloo to
petition for the repeal of the corn-law, it was the
Manchester manufacturers who came upon them and
cut them down. What had caused the change in the
spirit of their dream ? They were then in political
power, and now they wanted to gain their lost influ-
ence. Mr. O'Connor then proceeded to read ex-
tracts from the prize essays published by the Anti-
Corn-law League, which he alleged contained
great contradictions, one set of arguments being
for town and another for country—in the former re-
presenting that the manufacturers would get cheaper
bread, and in the latter that the farmer would get
higher prices. The League were only for pruning
the rotten tree ; he was for laying the mattoc and
the axe to its root. He was for free trade all over
the world, but not for being monkeys or tame cats to
any party ; his object being to secure the poor man a
share in the benefit which the manufacturers wanted
to deprive him of. Mr. Cobden had spoken of the
operatives being possibly reduced to wear wooden
shoes, but they actually wear them at this time, and
were glad to get them. Where was now (Mr. O'Con-
nor asked) a working man's clock, his feather bed,
chest of drawers, and other things which he used to
have ? They had all gone ; while the manufac-
turers boasted of possessing as much wealth as
would pay the national debt. He did not charge
the fault upon Mr. Cobden, but it was nevertheless
true that a workman had been discharged from that
gentleman's employ for reading the Northern Star.
Mr. COBDEN emphatically denied the assertion.
Mr. O'Coririoa proceeded to read some extracts
from " Alrnack's Character and Proceedings of the
Anti-Corn-law League," but the purport of them,
save for abusing the League, and thereby avoiding
the question of the expediency of the corn-laws, no
one could discover. After uttering a greit quantity
of irrelevant matter, he concluded by moving the fol
lowing amendment :

After some more evidence of. an unimportant cha-
racter had been tendered, the jury retired, and re-
mained some time in consultation. On their
entrance into Court,
The FOREMAN said that their presentment would
be put into proper form by the clerks ; but, in the
meantime, he might give the result of their consulta-
tion. It was the opinion of the jury that the tenants
whom they had marked out (on the map) had com-
mitted a nuisance by discharging their drains into the
ditch; and the ;ury had decided that they—thirty-
one in all—should be amerced in the sum of 301.
each, making a total of 9301., unless such nuisance
were abated, or such works commenced as would
satisfy the Court of Commissioners of Sewers. The
jury also desired that their verdict should be for-
warded to the Dean and Chapter of Westminster and
to the Trustees of Tothill-fields, and they hoped that
those bodies would see the necessity for the filling up
of the ditch, and the construction of a sewer.
This being the only business for the day, the Court
then adjourned.

y to his usual practice, sub-
mitted to the meeting
a resolution in favour of free trade, which having been seconded by Mr. Alderman
Cotton,
Mr. FEARGUR O'co,Non came forward and
proposed a long and desultoryth amendment, recognis-
ing the great evils of e. corn-laws, but declaring
their repeal to be inexpedient and injurious, unless
preceded by the Charter. • It is a singular fact, of
which probably no parallel
is to be found among the
numerous and flagrant derelictions of principle too
often met with in the history political parties, that
this amendment was supported
by
the votes of nearly
all the Conservatives of Northam
of their distinguished leaders, notwithstanding
including most
it re-
commended two propositions—the Charter and the
ultimate repeal of the corn-laws—to both of which
measures they have repeatedly avowed
the hope that by the combinationofhostility, in
ex-
tremes, and in principle utterly anta these
two
ristic bodies,
they should be enabled to overthrow free-traders.
Bodies of Chartists had been brought in from the
surrounding districts, and every exertion was made to
secure the defeat of the Anti-Corn-law rLeague.
Mr. GRUNDY having been voted r‘
to the chair, read
the requisition convening the meeting, and called upon
with
Mr. COBDEN, who was received loud cheers.
The Honourable Gentleman called upon the meeting
to discuss the question in the terms of the requisition,
with reference to the interest of the fa
rmers the la-
bourers, and the community ingeneral.
He
then
proceeded, in his usual lucid manner, to show that
the corn-law had been positively injuriousf. to all those
o classes. With reference to the interests the farmer
in the corn-law, as securing high price, if
the pre-
sent harvest were well got in, wheat, which is now as
as' be
law as 475., would, before next Christmas, down
to 425. Mr. Cobden then alluded to the
efforts made
by the working classes in 1815, to prevent the pass-
ing of the law, and in subsequent years to procure
its repeal. It might be asked, why had
not the
masters then united with the men for that
purpose ?
The reason was, that there was not that union
which ought to have existed between
the two
bodies ; but that was no argument against the
present generation acting more wisely
than their
fathers then did, especially as we
have had
thirty years' experience of its injurious working.

sins period, and
therefore could not be blamed for any

If had diminished in an equal proportion. the corn-
law had thus injured England, would any Irishman
stand forward on that platform and maintain that it
had benefited Ireland ? If so, he would appeal to
the highest authority with reference to that country

" Resolved—That we, the inhabitants of the county
an d town of Northampton, in public meeting assembled,
are of opinion that the repeal of the corn-laws, unac-
companied by a fair and equitable adjustment of the
several interests that would be affected by the change,
must lead to a confiscation of the properties of the must
weak mad unprotected, and to the centralization
of all manufacturing operations in the hands
of those who would be most capable, from the
possession of large capital, and most ready, by
the possession of a large amount of inanimate
machinery, to take advantage of the change. That,
while we declare ourselves hostile and opposed to the
principle of restricting commerce by interfering with the
rights of exchange, we nevertheless feel assured that the
question of free trade is one which must be dealt with as
a whole, and not upon mere party grounds. And as we
feel convinced that the whole question cannot be justly,
equitably, or satisfactorily discussed, arranged, and
finally settled by any other tribunal than that constituted
by the whole people, or by representatives fully, fairly,
and freely elected by them ; and inasmuch as such
full, fair, and free representation cannot by possi-
bility be accomplished through other principles than
those contained in the document entitled The People's
Charter,' we hereby pledge ourselves, in spite of all op-
position, to continue our glorious struggle until the
people's charter is made the basis of the British consti-
tution."

M'GRATII, the Chartist orator, then followed his
leader in a similar style of incoherency, and con-
cluded by seconding the amendment.
Mr. BRIGHT then came forward amidst loud cheers,
and spoke as follows :—I have listened with the ut-
most attention to the two speeches that have been
made by the mover and seconder of the amendment
which is now before you; and I confess that, with
respect to the speech of the mover of that amendment,
I am unable at this moment to discover any very clear
ground for forming an opinion as to his views on the
question of the corn-laws; he spoke against and for
them in about an equal quantity; but, if I had been
under any difficulty with respect to his speech, that of
his seconder has wholly cleared up that difficulty,
for I have perceived during the progress of that
speech a repetition of the arguments in favour of the
corn -laws which are poured forth to a small portion
of the readers of the public newspapers in the columns
of the Morning Post, the Herald, and the Standard.
—(Cheers and laughter.) That gentleman might,
without any impropriety, be the writer of those
articles, so clear is the resemblance, so entire the
identity between his views on this question and those
of the high protectionist paper, the Morning Post. I
address this meeting with the impression that if there
be one class in this country more deeply interested
than another in the discovery and adoption of truth,
that class is the great mass of the people who live
by their industry.—(Hear, hear.) It may be that
the aristocracy and the clergy benefit by a law which
is unjust in principle and injurious to the rest of the
people ; but there can be no injustice practised in this
country by the Legislature under which we live which
can be advantageous to the millions of the people,
who have no property but their labour, and no income
but their wages. Being, then, impressed with this
opinion, I am conscious of no anxiety on the subject
but that of discovering the truth. I am willing to
and do assume that in your minds also there it an
entire wish, to perceive the truth, and act upon it. I
shall, therefore, go into no extraneous matter that I

But, before I go to that, there is just one point with
respect to Mr. O'Connor that I must be permitted to
allude to, and lam sure he will not object to it. I said
I was unable to discover from his speech what were
his views on this question, and if I leave to-day out of
consideration, and look back to former periods, I
am equally unable to discover anything like a clear
course which he has pursued on this occasion. Mr.
O'Connor was a member of the House of Commons
in the year 1834. In that year. immediately after

Mr. Bright proceeded at considerable length, with
great force and eloquence, to refute the calumnies
and fallacies of Mr. 0 Connor, and to demonstrate the
benefits which would accrue to all classes from the
adoption of free-trade principles.
The CHAIRMAN then took the sense of the meeting,
when there appeared a decided majority in favour of
the original molution of Mr. Cobden.
_ _

Mr. b'CoNNoit came forward and questioned the
accuracy of the Chairman's conclusion, and requested
a division.

The CHAIRMAN replied that there could by no pos-
sibility be a doubt upon the subject.
Notwithstanding the indecency of impugning the
decision of a chairman appointed by themselves, the
Chartists separated from the rest of the meeting, when
their minority, had there been any previous doubt,
became still more apparent.
Mr. COBDEN moved, and Mr. BRIGHT seconded, a
vote of thanks to the Chairman.

The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks, and de •
dared the meeting dissolved ; notwithstanning which,
after the departure of the Free-Trade party, Mr.
O'Connor remained and harangued the meeting.
CLARKE, one of the colleagues of Mr. O'Connor,
then proposed a vote of confidence in that gentle-
man, which, as a matter of course, was carried.

The coast of Normandy was on Saturday week
visited by a heavy gale of wind from the N.N.W. Two
vessels, the schooner Estafette, having on board 14 men,
and the lugger Unique, with a crew of four men, were
unfortunately lost on making the port of Havre, and but
for the courage and perseverance of the crowd of per-
sons who assembled, the whole of the crew would pro-
bably have been lost. Happily all were saved with the
exception of two, who had sought refuge in the rigging
of one of the vessels, when the masts went by the board,
carrying them with it.

Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any
deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowlaud's
Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel-
ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and
immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending
restored elasticity of the akin. The distressing and
unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also
promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples,
freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its
specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness
and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations
of the utmost pleasure and surprise. Being universally
preferred, its consequent great demand excites the
cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title
of "Genuine" Kalydor to 80711 e compounds of their own
manufacture, of the most deleterious character, con-
taining mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the
complexion, and by their repellant action endangering
health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to
see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the
wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits I 1 1

You think it has seen its worst ?—I think it has.
What do you attribute that to ? People are getting
more careful ; they are afraid of one another. It is in
consequence of men levanting, and, having got them-
selves into scrapes, gentlemen will not bet with them..
Even in my little way, I say "you must put down your
money." If those men could be forced to pay, it would
be the best thing that could happen to the community,
even amongst the middling class of people. There are
little tradesmen that bet—outside betters. Those men
would go and mind their business if they knew they
were obliged to pay by law; but theygo upon the chance
of winning 251. or 50/., because they know they can-
not be made to pay if they lose, and it is the same even in
the lower class. There are a great many little trades-
men that bet ; I have had twenty or thirty letters for
people to come into my room. Ido not let any one in
now, except upon a reference. I have had many little
tradesmen writing to me, and I have written to theca
that I should not let them in. My advice is, if they
have a little money, to keep it ; not to engage in betting.
Those are the sort of people who are ruined ; they have
an itching for it, and they go, hoping to win 201., or 301.,
or 504, but never meaning to pay if they lose, as no law
can make them.

—Somehow or other, it has unfortunately been my lot
through life to pay smartly for my little researches in
natural history, when business or inclination have
brought me back to the shores of my native country.
The former zeal-subduing affair at Liverpool will not
be unknown to those who shall have read the " Wander-
ings ;" and latterly, at Hull, through the pig-headed-
ness of a subaltern Custom-house officer, and the haughty
demeanour of another in a higher station of the same
establishment, my ornithological views were frustrated;
and I may say I lost, at one go, my time, my patience.
and my money. You shall see how this happened. Hav-
ing
.purchased two pairs of Bernacle geese and four
widgeons, at Rotterdam, I got them put into a hamper,
and I took them with me on board the vessel which
steams weekly betwixt that town and the port of Hull.
We had a charming passage, short and smooth; and, on
our *rival in the Humber, I informed the visiting Cus-
tom-house officer that I had four gene and four
widgeons in the hamper which stood before him. " They
must go to the Custom-house," said he. " I know they
must," said I, "if they were dead geese, for the purposi,
of commerce ; but they are living geese," continued I
"and of course exempt by law from such an unpleasantto
errand." "No matter," said he, obstinately;
Custom-house they must and shall go, alive or dead"

We shall need no apology with the reader for quot-
ng this interesting notice of English hones and
breign purchasers :

Are not the Germans most anxious to promote racing,
believing that by doing so they will improve the breed
of their horses 2—Upwards of thirty years ago, when I
first sent horses to Germany, to my friend Baron Biel,
the great breeder, and the man whose horses won all the•
races, was Count Plessen of Ivenack. His blood was so
valued that a stamp was put upon every horse bred by
him, and they sold for a much higher price than any
others, and won most of the races. I then sent Baron
Biel over a few thorough-bred mares and a stallion. At
first no one would buy his stock, so he was obliged to
train them, and they won everything. They then disco-
vered a thorough-bred English horse was butter than a
native German, and Baron Bid sold his produce at very
large prices. After a time other German noblemen sent
to me for mares and horses at high prices, and of Into
years still higher. I sold, of my own, the Colonel for
1,9001, and Glaucus, last year, for 1,0001 ; I also sold
(not my own) Grey Momus fur 1,200 guineas. Taurus
was sold for, I believe, 1,000, and, I am told, Rocking-
ham for 3,000 guineas. All these to noblemen who keep
studs of their own. They are still buying. A friend of
mine last year bought horses and stallions to the value
of 8,5001. Had not these distinguished themselves thes,-
would not have fetched a third of it. In Germany they

distinguished himself ? They were most noble buyers.'
My orders were almost unlimited. They trusted to me.
And all the best race-horses now in America are bY
English horses. Whenever racing is done away with,
there is an end to the noble animal, and the manly sport,
and to your humble servant.
Are not many thorough-bred horses and mares every
year exported to nearly every part of the world, to im-
prove the breed of horses in those countries ?—To every
part of the known world, excepting to China, I have sent
horses ; and always such as have distinguished them-
selves fetch tho highest prices. I sent three lately to
Ibrahim Paella, to Egypt, for the first time ; they were
stallions, and to improve the Arabian blood, which 141ey

Many hundreds go to France everyyear ; and the French
horses give more than our own dealers ; they have •
bought more the last two years and at higher prices than
former years. A great many of our first-rate stallions
are now covering in France, for which the French Go- '
vernment gave very large prices ; all distinguished
horses. The foreigners will buy none but what have
won large stakes ; nor will they now buy mares unless
winners of good stakes ; and the more they have won
the higher price they give.
