heaven.—(Hear, hear.) In 1842 the bazaar was held,,
which realised 10,000/., a greater amount than was
ever before received from any bazaar, however great
and noble were its patrons and patronesses.—(Loud
cheers.) In 1843 they had raised a subscription of
50,0001., with the greatest ease.—(Cheers.) In 1844
the sub.cription of 100,0001. was asked for, of which
82,000/. or 83,0001. had been received, though one of
the great means of its collection had not yet been.
employed. In 1845, not yet a month old, the free-
traders of Lancashire, West Yorkshire, and North
Cheshire had, on the recommendation of the Council
of the League, expended nearly a quarter of a million
of money in qualifying as county voters.—(Cheers.)
When, more than twelve months ago, a few despised
manufacturers met and put down their names for
upwards of 12,000/., the Times had called it "a great
fact." He should like to know what description of
fact was this—the investment of nearly 250,0001. to
augment the free-trade register in the three counties
he had named ?—(Loud cheers.) After this brief
description of their progress, he would ask, could this
movement fail ?—(No, never.) Let the monopolists
and the members of the Government answer this. It
was a miserable delusion that the improvement in
trade would stop this agitation ; it was now marching
on with firmer and faster steps than ever.—(Hear,
hear.) This movement had arisen from a deep con-
viction, which had become a faith, and that faith was
strengthened by the experience of every year. From
1838 to 1842 the average price of wheat had been
64i. 81. per quarter; now it was 455., within 4d. of
20s. difference.—(Haar, hear). Supposing that the
people of this country consumed twenty millions of
quarters annually, they were now saving twenty
millions sterling a-year, an amount which the land-
, lords had formerly absorbed from the industrious
classes, without rendering for it one atom of good, or
near so much food as they now gave at a lower price,
—(Applause.) This twenty millions now circulated
in a thousand channels, fertilizing every district of
the country, drying up nothing but tears, and spread-
ing smiles and happiness around.—(Applause). It
was said to be a good thing that the China market had
been opened ; but how much better a thing was it
that the English market had been opened. This
alteration in the price of food was tantamount to the
opening of markets half as extensive again as the whole
of the British colonies, and equal in extent to the
markets of Germany, Holland, France, Italy and the
Italian islands, Russia, Belgium, and Brazil in 1842.
—(Applause). The present prosperity enjoined on
them to continue this agitation, and if it did not,
agricultural misery imperatively demanded it. Thirty
years protection had left 800,000 or 900,000 agricul-
tural labourers for the most part paupers, hopeless,
and reckless. This was the very population who, it
was said, supported the home trade and the revenue ;
and it was now found on inquiry that they bought
almost no clothing, and consumed few exciseable
articles.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers were just
about as helpless. Though 99 out of every 100 were
against the game-law, they dared not meet to de-
nounce it in the face of their landlords. This was
the battle of trade against lordly plunder, of honest
industry against dishonest idleness. (Applause.)
After some further observations, the Hon. Gentleman
alluded, in conclusion, to the movement of the League
for securing the county representation, and said that
it would do wonders for the trade and commerce of
the country. Looking back over the ground they had
trod—over the dangers and perils they had challenged
—there was enough to stimulate them for the future.
—(Applause.) He felt that every step they took they
trod on firmer and firmer ground—on every hand the
foe was retreating. From the contents of the report,
from the support they had received that day from va-
rious parts of the country, and from all he saw around
he augured that they were approaching the end of
this conflict; and then, after the toils, and perils, and
sacrifices of warfare, they should have the reward
and the enjoyments of a long and perpetual peace.
On the motion of Mr. J. BROOKS, seconded by
Mr. ECKROYD, of Otley, the thanks of the meeting
were voted to the four gentlemen who had delivered
addresses, and the proceedings terminated.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY.
The Chester Cup betting, although it missed several
horses inelud.d in our last report, touched upon a suffi•
cient number to make a very formidable display. All
that we have mentioned below were backed, the lions
being Semiseria, Cataract, Celeste, Obscurity, and Agri-
culture—the outlay, especially on the first two, was on a
very liberal scale. The Derby betting was limited, and
important in no other respect than as showing. a decided
improvement in Alarm, and the Cobweb and 'Miss Whip
colts. Mrs to take 25 to 1 about Annandale, but none

FALMOUTH, JAN. 20.—The Netherlands galliot
Willem Cornelis, of Amsterdam, Reincke, master, from
Alicata, laden with sulphur, whilst working out of port
yesterday mornine., for Rotterdam, the wind strong at
S.S.W., missed stays near the lighthouse on the eastern
entrance, St. Anthony's Point, and after casting anchor,
which unfortunately did not hold, she drove on the reeks,
and, notwithstanding prompt assistance was rendered by
boats and men from the Dutch man-of-war steamer
Vesuvius, lying in the roads, bound to Batavia, and also
from the shore, she could not be got off that tide, the
wind having then considerably freshened from the west-
ward and W.N.W. ; in the meantime, the galliot having
struck heavily, beat off her rudder and became very
leaky, and little or no hopes existed of saving her,
though every means were resorted to ; when, on a
sudden, in a shift of wind at three A.M., she was got oft
the rocks, and speedily anchored in comparative safety.
The wind soon afterwards increased to a violent gale at
N.N.W. ; at noon, however, the Vesuvius having got up
her steam, weighed anchor, ran down to leeward, speedily
took the galliot in tow, and in an hour succeeded in
bringing her into the inner harbour. This is another
proof of the valuable aid which can be afforded by steam
power under circumstances of emergency, and where
sailing vessels can afford little or no assistance ; whilst
to Captain Tull ken, of the Vesuvius, it must be very
gratifying that his incidental visit to this port enabled
him to render most opportune and timely aid to a vessel
of his own nation.
SUSPICIOUS . DEATH AT WOLVERHAMPTON.--. 011

THE PROJECTED REBUILDING OF BALIOL COLLEGE.
—lt is not, perhaps, generally known that the rebuilding
of Baliol College has been suspended, in consequence of
the refusal of the Fellows of that Society to accept any
plan not supplied by Mr. Pugin, the Catholic arehittet.
Mr. Basevi had supplied a plan, which was approved!.;
but the merits of Mr. Pugin, in having ritten a bitter
philippic against the Reformation, as well as his claims
on the private friendship of the Fellows of the College,
occasioned the setting aside the plans of Mr. Basevi for
a subsequent one of Mr. Pugin's.-0.2-ford Chronicle.
On Tuesday last, City police-constable Pring, be-
longing to the first division of police, having been found
upon his beat in a state of inebriety, was sent to the
station-house in Moor-lane, where, on his arrival, he was
told that he would be reported to the superintendent.
This, it appears, had such an effect upon his already ex-
cited feelings, that he proceeded to the kitchen of the
station-house, and, snatching up one of the men's razors,
