GREAT ANTI - CORN - LAW

IVIEETING.

On Thursday night, a numerous and higbly influential
meeting of the citizens of Glasgow was held in the City
Hall, Candleriggs, called by the Hon. the Lord Provost,
in obedience to a numerously-signed requisition, for the
purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Par-
liament to repeal the corn and provision laws, and of
memorialising Sir Robert reel to take immediate mea-
sures for obtaining an Order in Council for opening the
ports for the admission of grain and other provisions
free of duty. The immense hall was crowded to over-
flowing, and there could not be fewer than between 4,000
and 5,000 individuals present. Hundreds left the doors
unable to gain admission.
We observed on the platform the following gentle-
men :—The Hon. the Members for the city, Messrs. Os-
wald and Dennistoun, the Hon. the Lord Provost,
Bailie Anderson, Bailie Whitehead, Bailie Brodie, Bailie
M'Kinlay, and Bailie Stewart, Professor Wm. Thomson,
of the University of Glasgow, the Rev. Dr. Kidston,
Rev. Dr. King, Rev. Dr. M'Far]ane of Erskine Church,
Rev. Mr. M'Ewan, Alexander Graham, Esq., Walter
Buchanan, Esq., James Turner, Esq., of Tbrusbgrove,
John Hamilton, Esq., John Wilson, Esq., of Dundyvan,
Robert Bartholomew, Esq., John Tennant, Esq., Charles
Tennant, Esq., J. Robertson, Esq., William Mills, E. sq.,
Robert Hutcheson, Esq., &c, &c. On the Committee
and requisitionists making their appearance on the plat-
form, they were greeted with loud cheering. ,
ALEX. GRAHAM, Esq., in a few remarks, referring to
the important service which the Lord Provost had for a
lengthened period, both in his private and official capa-
city, rendered to the cause of free-trade, proposed that
his Lordship be requested to take the chair.
The Loan PROVOST, on taking the chair, expressed
the pleasure which he felt at being called upon "to preside
at the meeting, He denounced the corn-laws as being
injurious to every class of the community, and read an
extract from an old document of the Town Council of
Glasgow, dated 1791, to show that at that period, when
it was proposed to introduce a corn-law, the members
held it to be unwise and inexpedient. His Lordship then
introduced

The Rev. Dr. KING, who being received with loud
cheers, moved the adoption of the first resolution, to
the effect that it is the opinion of the meeting that the
prospects of the country are calculated to excite well-
grounded apprehensions, and under these circumstances,
it is the opinion of the meeting that it is the bounden
duty of the Government, to respond to the unanimous
voice of the country, by issuing an rder to open the
ports for the immediate admission of food from all quar-
ters, duty free.
Mr. OSWALD, M.P., rose to second the resolution pro-
posed by Dr. King, and was receivt d with loud cheering.
He said—My Lord Provost and Gentlemen, I am happy
and proud of the opportunity of congratulating you on
the appearaace of this magnificent assemblage, and this
city because of such a meeting taking place.—(Cheers.)
While you thus muster in thousands and demonstrate
your opposition to monopoly, do not forget that the
battle is not altogther won. I believe there is not
the slightest doubt that Sir Robert Peel, and the
whole of the Administration, have placed in her
Majesty's hands their resignation. I believe also that
Lord John Russell has her Majesty's command to form a
new Administration ; but it will depend greatly upon
meetings like this, and the spirit of the people at large,
whether or not Loi d John Russell, or any other person,
can repeal bad, and carry out good laws for the benefit
of the entire people.—(Cheers.) You may be called
upon to support him, and those who support him will not
need to be backward in the contest, for believe me, the
monopolists in the House of Commons, and throughout
the country at large, will not tamely submit to give up
their present privileges without a struggle, and nothing
would delight them so much as that any new Ad-
ministration formed should be thrown out, and Sir
Robert Peel called back again to office. But if the
people come forward throughout the country, as
Glasgow has done to-night, you need be in no fear as to
the result of the struggle. While, however, you go on in
your exertions, never lose sight of this, that the corn-
laws, from first to last, were enacted and have for their
object to make rents higher than they otherwise would
have been, or ought to be, and they will never give up
that under any circumstances, unless a very great pre-
ponderating interest in the country tells them that these
laws must be abolished, and if once abolished, I promise
you we will never hear anything more about them.—
(Cheers.) Never relax in your exertions ; be unani-
mous ; you have the ball at your foot ; go on, and I hope
you wilt be successful. The Hon. Member resumed his
seat amid loud cheering, during which the resolution was
put from the chair, and carried by acclamation.
Mr. WALTER BUCHANAN, amid loud cheers, proposed
the next resolution :—" That, in the opinion of this
meeting, there can be no security against the frequent
and periodical returns of scarcity, excepting in the total
repeal of the corn and prevision laws. The experience
of the last ten years has fully demonstrated that the
prosperity of the country depends on low prices of food,
while high prices have uniformly produced stagnation
in manufactures and commerce, loss of capital, reduc-
tion of the wages of labour, and, as a necessary conse-
quence, the degradation of the physical and moral condi-
tion of the people. For these evils there is no remedy,
while laws exist which produce artificial scarcity, and
nothing short of their total repeal will insure the peace
and prosperity of the country, or afford contentment to
her Majesty's subjects."
Mr. I)ENNISTOUN, M.P., in rising to second the reso-
lution, said—l expected to make a grand sensation here
to-night.l It so happeued, that before I left London, I
was told on high authority, and upon giving the
strongest assurance of secrecy—an assurance that till I
arrived in Scotland I would not mention the fact—that
Sir Robert Peel had resigned his seals of office into the
hands of her Majesty, and that Lord John Russell had
been sent fur to Scotland. Ah, thought I, this is a
most fortunate hit for ire; this will save me from making
a speech at the meeting to be held in Glasgow. The re-
sult has been, however, that you had the news twenty-
four hours before I arrived. But the question is, how is
this question to be settled? However much it is our
interest to have this question settled, it is also the interest
of the aristocracy themselves that it should be no longer
delayed. Because I can see that there is a feeling which
is growing up in the minds of the operative, and the
manufacturing, and the commercial classes, of deadly
hatred towards that class, and if it is allowed to go on,
there is no saying where it may end. Therefore, it
behoves those in power to put an end to this feeling, and
to do sway with these most odious laws. Mr. Cobden,
at a meeting which he lately addressed, said we must
be aware lest Sir Robert Peel, in giving us the corn-
law, require a compensation. Compensation, indeed I
Who ever heard of robbers getting compensation
from those whom they had plundered ? If there is
to be any compensation going, it is us who ought to get
it. The whole fee sample of the land in this country
would not be a sufficient compensation for the fifty years
that they have been plundering %s. Now, my Lord,
there is no doubt but the Duke of Wellington may suc-
ceed, but I venture to prophecy that it will be but for a
season, and that, by the zealous co-operation of all classes,
these laws—every shred and patch of them—shall be torn
from his reluctant grasp by the unanimous declaration of
an indignant people.—(Great applause.)
The meeting was also addressed by Professor W.
Thomson and Sir J. Higginbotham, and a memorial to
Sir R. Peel and a petition to Parliament founded on tile
resolutions agreed to, aftel. which,
On the motion of Mr. OSWALD, a vote of thanks was
unanimously tendered to the Chairman, after which the
meeting separated, giving three cheers for Richard
I Cobden.

DRURY•LANE THEATRE.—This splendid establish-
ment is still literally crammed, night after night, to witness
the joint attraction of Wallace's new opera of Maritana and
Flora Fabbri in the new ballet of The Devil to Pay. gorry,
indeed, are we to see, by the official announcements, that
the present week is the last of her engagement, owing to the
approach of the pantomime; and certain we are that no one
will miss the only opportunity they may ever have of seeing
one of the first of living danseuses.

COLOSSEUM.—The-following distinguished persons
have visited the above splendid establishment during the
past week :—Earl Bathurst, Chief Baron Pollock, Prince
Mohun Lal, Count Bathyany, Lady Gurney and family,
Lord Curzon, Lord Charleville, Countess Sellers, the Danish
Ambassador, &c. &c.

THE BITER BIT.—We can vouch (says the
Essex Standard) for the accuracy of the following state-
ment :—A few evenings since, a gentleman, somewhat re-
markable for his penurious and parsimonious habits, got inside
one of the Bow and Stratford omnibuses to proceed to the
latter place. When the omnibus had arrived about midway,
he thought he observed a partridge lying on the opposite
seat, and instantly took his place beside it, and succeeded in
depositing it in his handkerchief, and subsequently in his
coat pocket, without being observed. When he arrived home
he intimated to his better half that he bad brought a fine
partridge for supper. The " gude wife," somewhat elated,
took the handkerchief and its contents into an adjoining
room, but on examining it, to her surprise and dismay,
she found, instead of a fine plump partridge, a huge water-
rat. The fright and disappointment caused the lady to go
into hysterics, and it was found essential to call in the aid of
a medical gentleman, who, atter the lapse of two hours, and
with the application of the usual restoratives, succeeded in
restoring his patient to her wonted health and spirits.
A MAN'S LIFE SAVED BY A DOG.—OR Sunday

Luinb-lane, Bradford, was on his way home, and when pass-
/fig the Infirmary gates in that lane in company with two

i
DE ,TH FROM GOOD FORTUNE.—LateIy an elec-
tion for pensioners upon the Holborn estate charity took
place in the vestry-room of St. Clement Danes. Amongst
the twenty successful candidates was a Mr. Solomon, who
had been 48 years a respectable inhabitant householder,
but who has latterly been much reduced in circumstances.
By his election lie was entitled to 30/. a year and resident
in an almshouse. Last Wednesday he received the first
monthly instalment of his pension, and after being paid ex-
hibited great joy, and was constantly boasting of his great
good luck, which. lie said, "made him a gentleman." On
Thimdav lie was in the most excellent spirits, and continue
his expressions of joy; but the people of the house, No. 7,
Newcastle-street, Strand. where he lived, not seeing hint
leave his room in the morning, went into it to inquire after
when they found him partially dressed, and stretched
him,
upon the floor in the last agonies of death, which he did nut
survive many hours. Mr.. Lovett, the suigeon, who was
called in to attend him, gave it as his opinion that he died
from e.-:-.:cess of joy, at his success in being elected a pen-
sioner.
