The Sun.
London, England, 1845-04-10 00:00:00

In so many different shades and phases the princies pl
of free trade, and thrown upon -them the most dissi-
milar tints and coloure, will prove their eternal just-
ne.ss—the showers will descend--the sun will shine,
and knowledge and truth, which beloepe to that great
Tower alone, will continue to advance their light,
penetra.ting even tc the domestic hearth, and li dispel-
An the clouds of ignorance. Everywhere the solid
advantages of free-trade prinoiph s "ill be felt, for
they alone can renovate the condition nod ensure the
permanent Prosperity of this country. Those
meetings will he suspended—the mysteries of life acid
death will held on in their course—every day the ap-
pointed thousands will be born, and thousands mere
of mouths, must be fed by that soil which is now said
to be inefficient to supply the wants of those already
in exis:..ence ; every increase of the population will
'urni`Jti an additional argument for the necessity of
tsh'at great change. Death will continue as well as
iife—monopolv will have its victims, and free trade
must sometimes lose its champions—others will follow
that excellent being whose loss made Manchester one
!?re at place of mourning
--(Hear, hear)—be-
fore we again assemble here voices that
now join in cheering shout must be mute
for ever • but if it be so, as it is wise that
it should le so, and if they leave the world better
than they found it by the advancement of the great
causo—it will be no unworthy consolation for them,
on the bed of sickness and in the anguish of death,
that they assisted in making it so.—(Loud cheers.)
And when the liberated principle of vitality rejoins
the great majority, should it meet there with those
spirits of justice, who, in their day, laboured and
tqaggled for the good of the human race—who
"rote, in defiance of calumny and persecution, some
ST
work of philanthropy and improvement,
the
)et them be told to gladden even them that the seed
y had sown while on earth had sprung up, bringing
another harvest of their philanthropic spirits which
pervade the
world in might and majesty—that an-
other battle has been fought here and well fought for
truth and peace_for right and justice, and that an-
ioNvtoher victy, one of the most splendid of all, has been
nobility d that those obstacles to man's enjoyment of
of character and utility to his fellovv•men
andhopefulness for which his Creator destined him,
haliehbeen entirely removed.—(Loud cheering.)
words,e CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting in a few
which had coy addressed
them on the order and decorum
bad always existed in their meetings, and ob-
serving that the assistance of a single policeman never
was required.
He concluded by expressing a hope,
that they
would all meet at no distant period, and by
,calling on them to give three cheers for the Anti-Corn-
League.W
Three hearty cheers were given for the League, and
the meeting separated at ten o'clock.

FREE-TRADE BATA OR.
MEETING OF LADIES, CAMBERWELL.
A numerously-attended and highly-respectable
Tumeeting of ladies resident at Camberwell was held on
esday
et, r at the Mansion-house Chapel, in that dis-
ior the purpose of hearing the Rev. John Bur-
-114 deliver an address in support of the objects of the
Bur-
-1 ree-trade Bazaar, to he held in Covent-garden
Theatre in May next, and explanatory of the prin-
Ples of free-trade, and of the views of the great na-
tional Anti-Corn-law League.
A. L. Saul, Esq., of the League was present, and
took Part in the proceedings.
The Rev. Mr. Beaserr called attention to the
greatness to which this nation had arrived ; but this
greatness was not owing to the existence of the corn-
laws, but had been brought about by the indomitable
energy and the ingenuity of its inhabitants, in spite
,0f those laws. By its commerce and manufactures
ben
this country attained the position which she now
maintained. By agriculture no country could become
great. Agriculture supplied the subsistence neces-
sary for mere animal life, but the various works
131 art which tended to advance men in the scale
of civilisation were supplied by manufacture.
One hundred men engaged in agriculture could pro-
uce more than 100 men could consume. Those who
could not find employment in agriculture must use
their strength and skill in some other occupation.
Bence, manufactures, with all the elegancies and con-
veniences they produced—hence great cities, and all
the,,, wondrous display of intellect they contained. The
Rev. Gentleman then went on very clearly and beauti-
fully to explain the rise and progress of foreign corn-
Inerce, and having paid a high compliment to Lords
Pitawilliam, Kinnaird, Radnor, Ducie, &c., for their
support, by their voices and pens, of the free-
trade cause, and shown that even the present
l'irst Minister of the Crown, although he had
turned out the late Ministry on the question of the
corn-laws, begun himself to deal with them as
aeon as he came into office, he urged that Govern-
tient was stepping beyond its province when it marred
The trade and industry of the nation; that it was in-
stituted for the protection of the people, and that it
acted unwisely when it set one portion of the com-
munity against the other. The Rev. Gentleman
then directed the attention of his gentle auditory to
, ie
be-
le that they would work for it, and contribute
tawnatever their taste, skill, and ingenuity might die-
titte,.and were capable of accomplishing. He assured
'e 10 that anything from their hands would be ac-
tor by the League as a " free-trade offering.',
lathe'‘(lr. Saux, entered into some interesting details re-
:l,.lve tithe proceedings in favour of the bazaar in
0174er e parts of the country. He affirmed that
from about about 50 distinct stalls would be furnished
veriet many provincial towns. He enumerated a
be s__); of articles which, it had been intimated, would
