in go many diffe-ent shades and phases the principles
of free trade, and thrown upon them the most dissi-

they alone can renovate the condition and ensure the
permanent prosperity of this country. 'Chose

And when the liberated principle of vitality rejoins

The (
CHAIRMAN addressed
the meeting in a few
words, colgratulating them on the order and decorum
which had 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 -
law League.
Three hearty cheers were given for the League, and
the meeting separated at ten o'clock.

Free-trade Bazaar, to be held in Covent-garden
Theatre in May next, and explanatory of the prin-
ciples 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. BURNETT
called attention to the
greatness to which this natio had arrived ; but this
greatness was not owing to the existence of the corn-
laws, but had been brought about by
the indomitable
en
.ergy and the ingenuity of its inhabitants, in spite
ot those laws. By its commerce and manufactures
had 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
art which tended to advance men in the scale
of civilisation were supplied by manufacture.
One hundred men engaged in agriculture could pro-
euce more than 100 men could consume. Those who
could not find employment in agriculture must use
their strength and skill in some other occupation.

veniences they produced—hence great

lounity against the other. The Rev. Gentleman

whatever their taste, skill, and ingenuity might dic-

Mr. SAUL entered into some interesting details r!

different parts of the country. He affirmed hat
