LEAGUE FUND.
GREAT MEETING IN THE CITY OF YORK.
YORK, JAN. 25.--A deputation from the Anti-Corn-law
League, consisting of Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Colonel
Thompson, visited this city for the first time this evening. The
Festival Concert-room, in which the meeting was held, and
which is calculated to hold about 2,000 persons, was entirely
filled by a highly respectable auditory, amongst whom were a
large number of the Society of Friends.
Soon after six o'clock, Mr. Edward Smith, steel manufac-
turer, of Sheffield, who had been specially invited. was unani-
mously called to the chair, amidst tremendous cheeiing.
The CHAIRMAN said that those who lived in a city where
the doctrines of free trade were about to be propounded for the
first time, naturally must feel some little hesitation in coming
forward as decided partisans, until they had learnt a little more
of the principles upon which these doctrines were founded. He
then took a general review of free trade principles, of which he
declared himself a decided advocate, and concluded by intro-
ducing to the meeting
Colonel THOMPSON, who was received with cheers. He
said he had no doubt that he had been called upon to fol-
low the Chairman, in consideration of his near connexion
with the city. Thirty-three years ago he carried off one
of the best and fairest of the daughters of old Ebor and
that he considered the best and the most gallant action of
his life. He said he could not be charged with any personal
consideration in his advocacy of free trade ; he had no long
chimneys, being, if he belonged to any particular class, a land-
owner. The question for the meeting was whether it was
possible to increase the gain of commerce by any act of mono-
poly. He contended it was not possible, and went at length
into arguments to establish his position. The protective
system was nothing more nor less than an encouragement for
one party to rob another.
Mr. COBDEN was next introduced, and was received with
tremendous cheers. Hs confired himself exclusively to show-
ing the benefits that must result to agriculture from entire
freedom of trade. He asked the agriculturists to look at their
own aff.iira, and to think for themselves. His excellent obser-
vations were most attentively listened to.
Mr. BRIGHT was also loudly cheered. He seemed to be la-
bouring under severe indisposition. In the course of his long
and eloquent speech he denied that land in this country was cut •
tivated to its utmost extent, and instanced the large tracts which
existed in various places, and which appeared as if they werekeptr
for the exclusive purpose of growing rushes and thistles. Lo
d
Ashley had taken great pains to stigmatise the character of men of
his (Mr. Bright's) order, and he had employed men to pick up
the particulars of every cafe which they could of injuries re-
sulting from machinery, in order to publish them to the world.
Some day, not far distant. peihaps, certain revelations would
be made on the subject. There were, it was true no long chim-
ney in Dorsetshire, and there the agricultural labourers were
not earning more than 6s. a week ; indeed, he knew a respect-
able man at Poole. who recently informed him that he would
undertake to find 150 able-bodied labourers, who would cheer•
fully work fur ss. a week. Their cottages defied all attempts
at description ; they were destitute of every comfort, and even
of decency. The land is the district was probably the
worst cultivated of any in the country, and this was the place
held up by Lord Ashley as superior to the manufacturing dis-
tricts. Mr. Bright also alluded to the harsh language made
use of by Mr. Busfeild Ferrand against the manufacturers, and
related an anecdote respecting a Somerset shire traveller, a strict
Conservative, who, in the course of a business transaction with
him at Rochdale, stated that he believed every word Mr. Fer-
rand had said about the manufacturers. He had taken that
gentleman through his own factory, which he viewed with great
interest, as he had not been in one before; he was silent,
how-
ever, and the only exclamation he made use of was at the time
he was taking his leave, when he shook him (Mr. Bright) cor-
dially by the hand, and said, " Mr. Ferrand ought to be burnt
alive." Mr. Bright resumed his seat amidst great cheering.
After a fruitless attempt of some Chartists to create a dis-
turbance, the subscriptions were announced. Mr. Harris, a
member of the Society of Friends, gave 50/., and Dr. Rawden
20/. ; other sums were given, the whole reaching about 115/.
a fair start for an agricultural district.
Thanks were then voted to the deputation and the chairman,
and the meeting broke up about eleven oclock.

GREAT MEETING AT SHEFFIELD.
(From the Sheffield Iris.)
On Wednesday, a meeting was held in the Cutlers' Hall,
Sheffield, to hear a derutation from the League. The opening
of the proceedings was delayed for some time by Mr. Cobden's
non-arrival from Sunderland ; but the delay did not put the
meeting out of humour with the Hon. Gentleman. The chair
was taken by Edward Smith, Esq.
A letter was read from Mr. Parker, Member for the borough,
apologising for his absence on account of the dangerous illness
cf a very near and valued relation.
The CHAIRMAN, in alluding to the deputation from the
Anti-Corn-law League, said that many who once doubted were
now disposed to admit that the principles advocated by the
League were abstrLctedly just, and also the dictates of common
sense. After referring to the meetings now getting up by
those who called themselves the farmers' friends, the Chair-
man said there were individual duties devolving upon every
one; and no man had a right to sit indolently by and
leave the working out of the question to others.—
( Hear, hear.) Had they not been suffering enough in
Sheffield, for the last four or five years, that they were to
have the markets of North America and the Brazils taken
from them again by bad legislation, and not lift up their hands
and their voices against it? Some parties were for settling the
question at issue by a moderate fixed duty. He-considered that
it was an injustice to tax the labouring man, and be trusted
that their representatives would speak in terms of indignity
and remonstrance against any such proceeding. Feeling
greatly interested himself, he should now take up no more of

their time, but would call upon Mr. Cobden to address the
meeting.
Mr. Corms:sr, M. P., addressed the meeting in an able
speech, of which we can only find room for one passage. lie
agreed ,ith the Chairman, that those who entertained strong
free trade questions must not look for others to do the work.
Their opponents were now becoming violent and inflammatory,
just as the League was five years ago.—(Laughter.) The
I proud Sir Charles Knightley, speaking of the League, called
the members Radicals, Jacobins, and the refuse of mankind.
He said that the League was the most pestiferous society ever
formed since the d of the Jacobin Club during the French
Revolution—its members were ragamuffins, Jonathan Wilds,
and Jack Shcppards.--( Hear, and laughter.) Who, he would
ask, would belong to a set like that? Besides, it was nut safe to
belong to them, for he found that they were forming themselves
into corresponding societies, and thus placing themselves under
the ban of the Attorney-Gencral. In conclusion he would say
that they must rot conceal their light under a bushel, but must
strive to disseminate the truth. If it were true that nations
should interchange with each other the bounties which Provi-
denee had bestowed, rather than go to war with each other, it
was not a small matter that they should thus unite in accom-
plishing that object. There was nothing sordid in the
principles of free trade, nor in buying in the cheapest market,
nor in selling in the dearest. Buying in the cheapest market
was going into a country where there was a superabundance,
and selling in the dearest was taking that superabundance to
where the article was wanted. The Hon. Member, on resuming
his seat, was loudly cheered.
Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., on presenting himself, was loudly
applauded. He referred to his visits with Mr. Cobden to
Scotland, and to an association at Glasgow, called the East
India and China Association of Merchants, most of whom
were Conservatives, and who wished for a reduction in the
price of tea, but who found it impossible to carry their object
into effect. He also adverted to the impossibility, on all for-
mer occasions, of keeping the price of food up to a certain
amount, and to the distre_ses in 1817, 1818, arid 1819, when
there were outrages in almost all parts of the country. He
held that the corn-!aws were unjust, inasmuch as they denied
to man that which was necessary for his bodily strength, and
that which was necessary for his sustenance and comfort. It
also denied him the right to exchange in the market where he
ccul 1 get the highest price. It gave the rich man the highest
price for his commodity, and it denied to the poor man the
right of getting a fair price, which was all he asked for.
Mr. B..IGHT said that the Chairman had desired him to
state that he should commence the subscription about to be
made by a contribution of 2001.—( Loud cheers.)
H. G WARD, Esq., M. P., said he was requested by a gen-
tleman to hand in the sum of 251., undo r the name of Anti-
Ferrand.—( Loud cheers. )
The CHAIRMAN stated that the sum already subscribed at
that meeting was 7261. Is.
Mr. WARD, who was received with loud and long-protracted
cheers, expressed his deep sense of the kindness, and said he bad
every reason to feel thankful at representi,g such a consti-
tuency as that of Sheffield. He spoke in high terms of the
temper which was manifested at the meeting that morning,
when every subject connected with politics had been fully and
fairly sifted. He was sorry that his respected colleague
been prevented from attending the meeting that evening, and
would observe of that gentleman that he would not shirk doing
his duty to the town of Sheffield. On the corn-laws Mr. Parker
had always voted in a straightforward manner, and free from
all party considerations. They would be able to judge very
soon as to what were the sentiments of the Whig party on this
subject, and that from their old representative, Lord Morpeth.
The declaration of that nobleman at Wakefield would be most
important on this sub ect ; because it would be looked upon as
indicating the opinions of his party. They generally looked to
the gentlemen of the Upper House to set them au example,
something partaking of the attitude of aristocratic dignity, like
my Lord Wharnclitre in the picture before him—( Loud cheers)
—but my Lord Orkney had de cribed their proceedings as
" kicking up a bobbery." Ile concluded with saying that if
the constituency of this country will do—ashe believed sincerely
that they would do—their duty, he defied the present Govern-
ment to emninue the present system one year longer. The Hon.
Member sat down amidst loud and deafening cheers.
After votes of thanks to Messrs. Cobden and Bright, to Mr.
Ward, and the Chairman, the meeting separated.
