with the most determined hostility by the great Land,,
owners, by whose opposition those measures of expe-
diency and justice had nearly been prevented, and the
present and future situation of the country thereby
placed in a state of jeopardy. The course of events,
however, took a more favourable turn than could have
been expected. The precautionary measures adopted
by his Majesty's GoVerninent for the suppresaion,
of the disturbancei, aided by the-generous efforts made
in this metropolis, fOr the relief 'of the distressed dis-
tricts, had au immediate effect in preventing farther
acts of outrage, and in promoting the return of 'order
and tranquillity. The subscription set on foot,
from the magnitude of the sum promptly given, was
immediately made available to the relief of various
places, and bids fair to be productive of good to au
extent which could hardly have been anticipated.
His Majesty's Ministers, with a firmness which
does ' them the highest honour, determined not to
depart from the spirit of the measures which they
had proposed to Parliament ; although for the
sake of removing the unnecessary fear of the coim--
try Gentlemen that the general ,question of the Corn
Laws would be prejudiced by their adoption---41e9
submittedto modify them. The alarm of the Landed
Interests immediately subsided ; the Resolution/
were carried unanimously, and the Convulsion
which probably would have ensued from an
angry discussion of 'this subject in • Parlia-
ment, has been happily averted. Thus relief; and
with it tranquillity at the present, and security
for the future, seem to have been, we may almost saY
unexpectedly obtained; while every hope may reason-
ably be entertained that returning employment will
effectually restore to the industrious manufac-
turers the comforts of which they have bee"
lately deprived.
As we were in the foremost rank of Jo"'
nalists, who offered an opinion upon the C°ll
duct of the Country Gentlemen, in resisting the
measures proposed by the Government on this ow
sion, we feel it due to them, .to offer our tribute 9f

praise for their subsequent concurrence Lwthe
measures of Ministers—measures which will accom-
plish a temporary purpose, but will leave untouched
