FREE TRADU BANQUET IN
DERBY.
(raw.' A CORRESPONDENT.)
On Thursday evening a party of sixty manufac-
turers, tridesmen, and professional men, celebrated
the anniversary of thd, repeal of the corn-laws, at the
Royal Hotel, Derby, On which occasion a noble baron
of beef was cooked. The dinner was not altogether
public one, others the-number might have been
trebled or quadrtipt. The number was limited to
sixty. Mr. Aldermai Peet (silk manufacturer) oc-
cupied the chair: r. Councillor Madeley (silk
merchant and throisifer) was in the vice-chair.
After ample justfre'had been done to the excellent
fire provided, the CIfAIRMAN proposed the health
of " the Queen," "Pr4ace Albert," " Albert, Prince
of Wales, and the rek of the Royal Family", in
succession: He then proposed the bealths of " Messrs.
Bass and Heywortb, Members for the borough,"
after eulogising their consistency and devotion to the
interests of the
• people,—(Drunk with honours.)
The enamour( then said that twelve months ago
they assembled to celebrate the triumph of free-trade
principles. • Owing to illness he was not amongst
them on that occasion, but it
afforded him sincere
gratification to join them at their presentanniversary.
If they must believe the Rrotectionists the battle of
free trade Would—have to be fought over again,
but he had no fear of the result. It was
impossible to return to protection.—(Cheers.)
It was amusing to watch the discordant elements of
which the Protectionist party
were composed. Ac-
cording to some Protectionist landlords, they wanted
a re-imposition of the bread-tax for the benefit of the
farmer; according to others, for the benefit of the
labourer ;"but the real Question was one of rent and
taxer:--(Cheers.)T fi
go iftass are), they said, ruined;
the labourers are starving. Why, 'how long was it
since, even under the 'fultblossings of protection, the
labourera in many counties were in a state of starva-
tion, and the agriculturists were crying to Parliament
about " distress."—(Cheers.) It was clear that Pro-
tection had never benefited either farmer or la-
bourer. Facts were :against any such supposition.
Then, some of its advocates argued in favour of Pro-
tection on the plea of benefiting the revenue. For
revenue ! Why, taking-19s average of the last twenty
years, the revenue derived from the nominal duty of
is. in the first year of free trade in corn was more b.)
some thousands of pounds than the average of the last
twenty years.—(Cheers.) After some further re-
marks' which elicited loud cheers, the Chairman con-
eluded an excellent speech by proposing " Free Trade
with all the world."—(Drunk with three times three.)
Mr. MADELET, after paying &tribute to the genius,
enterprise, and character of Mr. Cobden, concluded
by proposing that gentleman's health.—(Three times
three, and one cheer more.)
Mr. HARRISON (of Manchester), in proposing tht
health of Messrs. Villiers, Bright, and the Liberal
Members of the House of Commons, pronounced a
warm eulogy on those gentlemen, and defended, in
eloquent and energetic language, their policy and
conduct. Those gentlemen had eminently distin-
guished themselves, as well by the` rectitude of their
conduct as in seeking, with the greatest determina-
tion, to promote the great object which they had in
view, namely, to destroy the power of monopoly and
establish the commercial freedom of the world.—
(Cheers.) The disinterestedness of Mr. Villiers was
dwelt upon in declining the constituency of South
Lancashire, and in devoting himself to the interests
of his former friends. The conduct oflKr. Bright
also, with referenceto the game-laws, was worthy of
the highest commendation.—(Cheers.) He had en-
countered no small share of obloquy for his intrepid
denunciation of these laws, which were of the most
unjust kind, injurious to the interests of the farmer
and destructive to the morals of the people.—(Cheers.)
It was highly gratifying to have in the House of
Commons such fearless defenders of popular rights ;
and it was the duty of all true patriots to support
their representatives till this relic of feudal barbarism
was destroyed, and the cultivator of the land freed
from the intolerable burden which it imposed
on hiro.—(Cheers.) The speaker was reminded.
by this • anniversary of the abolition of the
corn-laws, of the important part which Derby had
taken in the struggle. It had sometimes been said 1:13
their opponents that the object of the manufacturer
had been to diminish wages, but he confidently ap
pealed to the statistics of the town, and affirmed tha
the wages paid in Derby were higher than in mos
towns in the kingdom.7--(llear.) Toe state of tb.
agricultural labourer SW 4111 Q a fnvourito, topic wits
the opponents of free trade; bar whist was the face
in reference to this subject ? Why, that the la-
bourer would get the necessaries of life cheaper than
formerly, while other considerations would tend tt
increase his rate of wages.—(Hear, hear.) In his
recent progress through the country he had beer
struck by the new aspect which it almost universally
presented. On every hand he had been delighted t.
witness the improvements that were taking place
Trees were being felled, land was being drained,
hedges were cut down, and ditches cleaned out ; and
it was evident that from the impetus which had re•
cently been given to agricultural improvement, the
present number of labourers would not long be suffi-
cient, but that an increased demand for labour would
arise, and 'the condition of the labourer be conse-
quently improved. -- (Hear.) The speaker thee
praised the efforts of the Land Society in Derby and
other towns, by which an increase of voters would be
obtained for the counties, and the Liberal interest
considerably strengthened. The Tories were wise it
their generation, in wishing for a dissolution of Par-
liament before the influence of the newly-qualifier
electors could be brpught to bear on the elections ;
but let these land societies be fully carried out, and
u utmost
the cause of the people was secure.—(Cheers.) Mr
Harrison,eertr to do their
concluding
his address, urged his
h ost in carrying on the warfare
with protection on which they had entered, being
ar m
assured that they would be rewarded by a complete
victory at no distant period, a
an,i resumed his seat
amid loud cheers.

labour in the various branches of the silk trade.—
(Cheers.) He did not mean to say they. had not
had times of depression, but he fearlessly asserted,
that since protection on thrown silk had been aban-
doned, since Sir Robert Peel removed the last shilling
of protection, they had experienced less fluctuations
than during the palmy days of protection.—(Cheers.)
When it was proposed some years since by the then
Government to take off the duty on fgeign thrown
silk, three Derby gentlemen in the trade held a meet-
ing, and they sent two of them as a deputation to
London to expostulate with the Government in the
name of the Derby silk-throwsters, and to show that,
if the odd shilling (it was originally a 15s. duty) per
lb. duty was taken off, they would all be ruined, and
that branch of the silk trade would leave the country,
for that it was impessible from various causes to com-
pete with the foreign throwster. When an account
of this deputation appeared in the papers, a meeting
was called of the merchants and throwsters of Derby,
and the result was that he (Mr. Madeley) was re-
quested to draw up a memorial to the borough and
county Members on the subject, which was signed by
all the firms in Derby, but four, and was sent to Mr.
Strutt. This memorial set forth that although the
taking off the duty might perhaps to some extent,
and for a time, be injurious to them in a pecuniary
point of view, yet they were so satisfied that free
trade would be so beneficial to the people of this
kingdom, they would willingly risk any loss they
might sustain for the great good to the com-
munity aklarge—(Cheers)—that while they asked for
tree trade in the necessaries of life, they should be
ashamed to demand protection for their especial
benefit—(Cheers)—and it requested the Members to
vote for the measure.—(Cheers) This memorial
was referred to by the then Priam Minister in the
House of Common!. The duty was taken off, but
the predictions of the Protectionists of " ruin to the
trade" had not been verified, forathat part of the trade
had gone on increasing, and was never so prosperous
under protection as it had been under free trade.—
(Loud cheers.) He could speak from his own know-
ledge, and gentlemen present could verify it, that of
late, there had been a great demand for English
thrown silk for the continent of Europe, and that he
had had offers some months since of large lots of silk
to throw for export, but could not accept them, and he
knew some throwsters in the west of England, at that
-ime, had several months work in hand for the foreign
trade.—(Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Madeley) did not
mean to say they had large profits, for competition,
coupled with scarcity of hands, which had raised
wages, had reduced their profits to a minimum, and it
required great perseverance, skill, and industry, to
enable the English throwster to carry on his trade to
advantage, and the same may be said of almost all other
branches of our manufacture. It was true that some
parts of the silk trade had a protection of 15 per
cent., but if the gentleman who spoke at the Derby
meeting had but given the subject a little considera-
tion, which he was in duty bound to do, before risk-
ing the statement which be put forth at that meeting,
at would have found that the silk trade of
Derby that had protection was but very
'mall in comparison with that part of the
trade which was free and unprotected ; for they might
fairly put down the quantity of raw silk thrown
weekly in Derby at from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds in
weight. This is the part unprotected, and they might
estimate the consumption of thrown silk into manu-
factured goods, which was protected, at:abount 2,000
pounds weigt. What, then, becomes of the argu-
ment that the silk trade of Derby required protection
`or its support ?—(Cheers.) Why, if the gentleman
eimself could purchase foreign thrown silk for less
'hen he could throw it fur himself for his own con-
eimption in manufactures (and foreign thrown is
suited to his trade), he would long since have ceased
throw silk altogether; but he not only has not done
'his, but he competes, and that successfully, with the
foreign throwster, by selling about one-half of his
production to other manufacturers.—(Loud cheers.)
A.s regarded the subject of wages, the labour market,
Ike all other markets, was regulated as to price by
supply and demand, and as the supply of skilled
hinds in Derby was not equal to the demand, wages
sad risen, during the last seven years, 15 to 20 per
:ent. for those employed in throwing silk. This wa.,
le thought, a sufficient answer to the calumny
leaped upon the Free-trade manufacturers of Derby
))* their brother manufacturers at the Protectionist
fleeting., namely, that the Free-traders only wanted
free trade to enable them to reduce the wages of their
vork-people. This was false and unfounded.—
(Cheers.) Nearly all the silk merchants, throwsters,
.pd manufacturers of Derby were Free-traders, and
hat from principles founded on a firm conviction that
lseedom in untnerce, manufactures, and agricul-
ure are the principles of justice—(Cheers)—that,
whilst they ask that the necessaries of life should be as
ree as air, they also wished that protection should be
removed from all branches of British industry—
(Loud cheers)—and they also firmly believe that
under free trade this country would; enjoy
greater prosperity and more lasting benefits than
under the banner of protection—(Cheers)—and that
although the trade of this country may receive a
,:heck from the present rise in the raw materials of
:otton and silk, caused partly by a short supply, yet
'.he prospects of the present year were so cheering,
led so much better than for many years past, it was
loped that the depression (at one time feared) would
be but slight.—(Cheers.) The manufacturers deplored
he distress of those engaged in agriculture, but they
mntend that protection would not relieve them, and
never can again be entertained by any Government.—
,Cneers.) Let the farmers then join the manufac-
turers in demanding from the Government a reduc-
tion of the enormous and extravagant national expen-
titure, and the removal of those burdens which press
so heavily upon the industry of the people of this
kingdom.—(Coeers.) Progression was the order of
he day, and although reforms might not progress as
'ast as they could wish, no Government could long
-esist the voice of the people, and that it would be
heir own faults, if the shameful expenditure of the
nation was not reduced, the people fairly and fully
represented in the House of Commons, and free trade
carried out to its utmost extent.—(Much cheering.)
During these speeches a printed copy of the Queen's
Speech was sent from the Reporter office. It was read,
and,the passage relating to tree trade was vociferously
cheered. The concluding paragraph was also loudly
cheered. The healths of the proprietors and the
editor of the Reporter were drank, after a complimen-
tary reference to the services rendered to the cause by
that journal. Mr. Adams returned thanks. At a
:ater period, a copy of The Sun paper arrived in the
room, and the health of Mr. Young was drank with
great enthusiasm, as will be seen below.]
Mr. TAYLOR, who occupies the original silk mills,
in acknowledging his health, referred to the satisfac-
tory state of the throwing trade under free trade.
For himself he disclaimed protection.—(Cheers.)
The Chairman and himself had been full-hog Free-
traders through life, and he saw no reason to abandon
the opinions they d held for a long series of years.
fie contended that wages were 20 per cent. higher
now than at the time a duty of 14s. in the pound
was imposed on silk. When the duty was lowered to
75., they improved their machinery, and successfully
met the foreigner; and now that there was no duty at
all they had still no fear of foreign competition.—
(Cheers.) lie should be ashamed of himself if he
were only a partial Free-trader.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Jousssors said a toast had just been put into
his hands, of which he most heartily approved, and
had no doubt that the company would respond with
satisfaction. It was " the health of Mr. Murdo
Young, and success to the Liberal,Press of England."
—(Loud cheers.) Undoubtly they were under the
deepest obligations to Mr. Young for the spirited
manner he had conducted The Sun newspaper, and
the early intelligence it contained. No expense had
been spared by Mr. Young in expressing the earliest
important intelligence, by which.the Liberal party had
been benefited, and he hoped Mr. Young had reaped
the just reward of his spirited exertions.—(Loud
cheers.) There was one or two observations con-
nected with the silk trade he weuld offer to the meet-
ing, as the silk trade illustrated the difference be-
tween monopoly and freedom better than any other.
It had been protected, par: excellence—not only were
foreign silks prohibited, but the weavers of Spital-
fields were further protected by a special Act of Par-
liament, empowering magistrates to regulate wages,
and the manner of conducting the silk business, and
during the halcyon days of a close monopoly, no
trade suffered such alternations of ephemeris pros-
perity, and deep and prolonged distress.—(Hear, hear.)
In 1817 the deplorable state of the Spitalfields weavers
was brought under the consideration of the House of
Lords by the Marquis of Lansdowne ; in reply to
whom Lord Liverpool observed, he thought it was
almost a misfortune that the silk trade was introduced
into England, where it was stationary or retrogressive,
and after quoting some statistics to prove the silk-
trade was making improvements and increasing in
France, while it was diminishing in England, he also
remarked it was not suited either to the climate of this
country or the genius of its people. This was the
opinion of the Prime Minister of that day of the silk
trade under a close monopoly. Passing onwards._ to
1824, the Government determined to adopt adifferent
policy, and a Bill was introduced into Parliament by
Mr. Huskisson to permit the introduction of foreign
silks (which up to that time had been prohibited) at
duties varying from 30 to 60 per cent. This mea-

HUNGARIAN SUFFURINGS.
A namerous and highly respectable meeting was
held at the Town •hall, Aberyst with, on Friday night,
the 25th ult., in obedience to a requisition addressed
to the Mayor, William Williams, Esq., who presided
on the occasion. Though the requisition was only
signed on the day of the meeting, so strong was the
interest felt on the subject that the hall was filled, and
the adjoining street was crowded with persons unable
to gain admittance.
The resolutions were of the same. nature as those
passed at Bala on the 28th of December last and,
though the meeting did not break up until half-past
eleven o'clock, the addresses of the different speakers
were throughout listened to with the deepest attention,
and received with enthusiastic cheering.
The Mayor, WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Esq., stated the
object of the meeting, and read a letter from Capt. E.
L. Pryse, of Gogerddan, apologizing for his non-at-
tendance, but agreeing with the object of the meeting.
He called on A. J. Johnes Esq, judge of the
Aberyatwith and North-West Vales County
Courts, who, in moving the first resolution,
said :—Though suffering from ill health, and
my severe judicial duties_ of this morning,
I am happy to move this resolution, because I think
the atrocities of the Austrian .Government are the
greatest that history records. Let it be understood
that I do not attach the guilt of these acts to the
Austrian nation. For a time the powers of govern-
ment were in the hands of the very humblest classes
in Austria, and, with one or two exceptions (the re-
sult of popular excitement), they were not guilty of
similar crimes. They showed themselves incapable
of the deliberative and cold-blooded murders which
have been committed by their rulers. We have just
seen the close of two years, eventful in revolutions
which have shaken the continent of Europe, while,
in this happy land, we have enjoyed tranquillity and
peace. Why has this been so ? We cannot ascribe
it to our army, because, although our soldiers have
often been victorious on the field of battle, our army
is one of the smallest in Europe; nor can I attribute
it to our laws and institutions. The true cause, in
my judgment, to which we owe the blessings of do-
mestic peace, is to be found in the spirit of humanity
that animates the British people—a spirit that induces
them to endure some imperfections in the laws under
which they live, rather than introduce the horrors of
civil war among the subjects of the same Government.
This spirit has been fostered in past generations by
exertions on behalf of their fellow-men like those
which form the object of this meeting ; and meetings
similar to the present era eminently calculated to
maintain and elevate that character which the British
people have hitherto possessed for humanity, courage,
and philanthropy,
The Rev. Mr. WILLIAMS, Baptist minister, se-
conded the resolution in an able speech in the Welsh
language.
The resolution was carried unanimously amidst
enthusiastic cheers.

The

health oftheChair
m n
a nd
enthusiasm,Vice-Chairman
were
after
speeches justly laudatory of their zeal in th
caust
of reform and the many services
they have rendered
the cause in Derby.
The CHAIRMAN, in responding,
referred to the
statement made by Mr. Lewis at
the protectionist
meeting, and to the remarks made by the Marquis of
Granby, to the effect that Derby sent two Members
to the House of Commons to protect their interests.
That assertion was not true in
They sent two Members to support free trade—
free trade in silk, 'Cotton,
andmanufactures
free trade in the most enlarged sense of the terms.—
(Vociferous cheering.) It was true that a duty was
paid on certain articles of silk manufacture, and such
was the fact in regard. to certain articles of agricul•
tural produce, such as cheeie; butter, eggs, &c., &c. ;
but he, as a manufacturer, wanted no protection of
any kind.—(Cheers.) Thrown silk was not pro-
tected at all, neither was the great staple articles of
cotton. He believed it might be known that the
revenue derived from agricnltural produce of various
kinds was -equal, if not more than the revenue derived
from such articles in manufacture as paid duty; and
as for thrown silks, never was the trade more brisk
than at the present time, nOtWithstanding its free im-
portation. Large quantities were drawn for export.
—(Cheers.) After properly characterising the con-
duct of Mr.•:Lewis—a Peotectionist manufacturer,
forsooth—who had grossly libelled his brother manu-
facturers, by stating that their object was to lower
wages, and who had mis-stated facts as regards the
silk-throwing trade of Derby, the chairman thanked
the company for the honour they had done him, and
resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.
Mr. MADRLET, in returning thanks for the honour
done him in drinking his health, said, that at a Pro-
tectionist Meeting lately held in Derby, a Bilk-mer-
chant and manufacturer of that town, was reported
to have stated, that protection was necessary to the
success and even existence of the silk trade; there-
fore he (Mr. Madeley) claimed permission to nary a
few words upon the effects of free-trade on that branch
of manufacture in the town of Derby. Derby was
the original seat of the silk trade in this country, for
it was known to most of them, that about the year
1719, some hundred and thirty years ago, Sir Thomas
Lombe erected his famous mills in this town, which
are the property of the corporation, and occupied by
Mr. Taylor (on his left), and that gentleman had
always been a strong advocate for free-trade.--(Hear,
hear.) Since the establishment of the silk trade in
Derby, it had never retrograded ; but had gone on
increasing, and now assumed an important position ;
at first the throwing trade was protected by a heavy
duty, and that no doubt tended rather to depress, than
to expand the trade, for it was a fact, that since the
duty upon thrown silk had been taken off, since pro-
tection to this branch bad been abandoned, the trade
had increased in a greater ratio than during any pre-
vious period of the same duration.—(Hear, hear.)
At no period was that department of the silk trade
more prosperous than the present —(Dear, Hear, hear)—and
he believed he was stating a fact well known to all
the gentlemen present, who are in that trade, when he
said that, there was not a throwing establishment
in Derby but was short of hands, and that .although
the population of Derby had gone on increasing to
the.extent that, during the last forty years, the inha-
bitants ha'd -increased from 11,000 to 50,000, yet the
population had not kept pace with the demands for

T. 0. MORGAN, Esq., J.P., came forward to move
the second resolution. They, were all aware of the
circumstances under which Kossuth and the other
Hungarian refugees were driven to Turkey ; those
circumstances were of the most painful description.
Yet, notwithstanding the cruel demand made by the
Emperors of Russia and Austria for the extradition of
the llungarians, the Sultan, with a humanity that
would have reflected honour on a Christian nation,
nobly resisted the demand, and, by the sanction of the
French and English Governments, successfully.
Jour; ROBERT!", Esq., tanner, seconded the reso-
lution, which was carried unanimously.
JOHN JENKINS, Esq , clerk of county court, was
called upon to move the third resolution. The con-
duct of France and England, in reference to the
Hungarian refugees in Turkey, was most laudable,
in stepping forward to protect those unfortunate men
from the relentless grasp of Russia, and thus vindi-
cating the highest claims of humanity. It was plea'-
ing to see two nations which, in times past, had been
in constant mutual hostility, and whose sanguinary
contests had been enacted on the fields of Cressy,
Agincourt, Salamanca, and Waterloo—so cele-
brated in story as they had been awful in fact—it
was a delight to see these rival powers forgetting
jealousies, and stepping forward in the hour
of peril to shield the unfortunate and innocent in
foreign lands.—(Cheers.) Well did it augur for the
future peace and happiness of the world, when the
two greatest nations of the globe joined in supporting
right against ►night and checking the unsatisfied lust
Of the tyrants of Eastern Europe; cheering were
the prospects of the human race when the glorious
and terrible flags of England and France were hoisted
together, and unfurled in the noble crusade of hu-

manity against cruelty, knowledge against ignorance,
and civilization against the attempted strides of bar-
barism itself.—(Great cheering.)
W. H. THOMAS, Eiq., seconded the resolution in
a sensible speech.
Carried amidst acclamation.
Mr. JOHN MATTHEWS, draper, moved the fourth
resolution. The press was a most powerful instru-
ment—it was nearly all-powerful ;an honest press
was the most useful organ in a community, and de-
served the respect and gratitude of every right-
thinking man. But a venal press—(Cries of "The
Times")—a press which forsook its noble vocation,
and subserved the purposes of despotism and inhu-
manity, deserved the reprobation of the human race.
—(Cheers, and cries of " The base Times.")
The Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS, Independent minister, in
an eloquent speech, seconded the resolution.
Carried unanimously. _

Mr. ROBERT EDWARD moved the presentation of
the address to Lord Palmerston ; which, being se-
conded by GairriTas TLIOMAS, Esq., was unani-
mously received and adopted.
The thanks of the meeting were warmly voted to
A. J. Johnes, Esq., and the Mayor, and the meeting
separated.
During the progress.of the meeting, several copies
of the Times were publicly burnt in the street oppo-
site to the Town-hall, where the meeting was held.

. We have reason to believe that Lord Denman has
at last resigned, and that Lord Campbell will succeed
him as Wet Justice.—Times,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
MALTA, JAN. 23.—The Freach steamer, due yester-
day from the Levant, arrived to-day; she brings impor-
tant news front Athens, which she left on the 19th. The
fleet of Sir William Parker arrived on the 12th at Sa-
lomine, two steamers having gone to the Piraeus. On
the 15th they received pi atique. On the 17th the Ad-
miral, with a large staff, dined with his Majesty, and on
the following day our Ambassador, Mr. Wyse, meat un-
expectedly sent in a demand that certain claims of Eng-
lish subjects, or proteyes, on the Greek Government
should be paid in 24 hours, or in the event of a refusal
we should proceed t) hostilities. On the day following
(19th) no answer having teen given, Mr. Wyse was
preparing to go on board the flag-ship with all bis
employe', leaving Mr. Green, the consul, to represent
the commercial interests -on sflbre. The departure of
the steamer prevents more being known, but we have a I
report, for which, however, I cannot give any positive
assurance, that a Greek steamer on leaving the Pirams
was captured by the Odin (some say the Bulldog) st.arn-
frigate. The news is of the highest intere►t, and has
caused quite a sensation here. The 'lraia is in a state
of blockad,) by our ships.
The quarantine, which had been taken off from ar-
rivals from Malta and Sicily, has been agai❑ laid on. The
term is on all ships seven days, and for susceptible goods
14 days. The cause assigned is a pretended admission
to prat'que here of arrival from Tunis, where the cho!era
is said to exist,
A general court-martial was ordered to assemble o❑
Tuesday last, but has since been countermanded, the
officer to have been tried having sent in his papers to re-
tire from the service.
In naval news we have nothing particular. The Racer
brig is g ring to Corfu to-,lay t') relieve the Frolic, at d
the Porcupine steamer to leave for Athens, whence she
proceed to Constantinople to relieve the Tartarus. We
have a Russian brig in port.
Post-hour.---We have just heard that the Greeks have
bunt down the English Ambassador's house at the
Pincus. The report should be received with caution,
although it is generally current in the island.
