under the Crown of Britain, and they were success-
ful, although for a long time the struggle seemed
hopeless. Then there was a Catholic Emaneipation,
and English, Irish, and Scotch Burgh and Parlia-
mentary Reform.—(A voice, " Aye, but ye cheatel
us there."—A laugh.) All these triumphs showed
distinctly that when the public mind was strongly
expressed there was a certainty of success. The pro-
gress of the Corn-law opposition, both within and
without Parliament, had been alike remarkable and
gratifying; and he would only call to their recollec-
tiOn the contrast between the position they were in
now and that which they occupied four years ago.
Talanks to the public press, and thanks to those able
men who had taken a lead in the matter in the south,
there had been such a flood of light thrown on the
subject that there was now scarcely an argument
brought against them.—(Applause.) The opposition
they met with was like that in the Town Comicil,
where the mover of the amendment scarcely identified
himself with his argument.—(Hear, hear, and a
laugh.) It lied been said that the Corn-law s are re-
tained for the benefit of the agricultural labourer.
Go to the lands of the Duke of Buckingham, and
find his labourers barely earning 10s. a-week, atul
then tell us that the Corn-laws are kept up for his
advantage 1 The same had been stated of the farmer ;
but there were many conversions among that class
to the opinion that so Iqug as the Corn-laws remaine
they would not enjoy,prosperity.—(Hear, hear, and
cheers.) He congratulated the meeting that the
public apathy on the subject had now passed away,
and there was a bright prospect before them. II
hoped`they would continue to agitate, and inc ease
their exertions as the period of their triumph etate--
nearer.—(Loud applause.) He concluded by moving
the resolution which he had read at the commence-
ment of his address. Mr. Buchanan then sat down
amid thunders of applause.
Mr. JOHN TENNANT had much pleasure in second-
ing the resolution.
The CHAIRMAN .(Mr. Oswald) was about to put
the resolution, when
Mr. Mont, an O'Connorite, endeavoured to put an
amendment which was negatived.
Mr. OSWALD then put the resolutioa which had
been proposed by Mr. Buchanan, and it was carried by
enthusiastic acclamation.
The Rev. Dr. KING amid much uproar from the
O'Connorites, lola the second resolution, which was
seconded by Mr. Stirling, and subsequently carried
unanimously.
Mr. llAsrm read the third resolution, and proceeded
to speak, but was so far interrupted, as scarcely to be
at all audible.

PRICE sd.

Councillor LUMSDEN seconded the resolution, which,
being put by the Chairman, was carried, only about
dozen hands being held up in opposition.

Mr. W. P. PATO-N rose to move the fourth rea&-
eh Millie Anderson seconded,and it was
ried unanimously. •

,
Provost BARTHOLOMEW, of Calton, in a few very
appropriate remarks proposed the next resolution,
which was for memorials to Sir Robert Peel, signed
by the Chairman of this meeting; and to the House
of Lords, to be entrusted to Earl litzwilliam, and to
the Howe of Commons, by Mr. Oswald.
Dr. KING seconded the motion.
The Rev. Dr. Burs, of Paisley, moved the next
resolution, which was expressive of the approval of
the meeting to the exertions of the Anti-Corn-law
League of Manchester. It pledged to support it in
its labours, and to raise funds in the city for its
support:_

The Rev. Dr. KING seconded the resolution, which
was passed unanimously.
Mr. Mom! who acted as Secretary to the meet-
ing, next read a list of the conveners of Committee to
collect sub6criptions, &c. ; which being approved of,
The Rev. Mr. HARVEY, of Calton, moved a vote of
thanks to the Chairman ; and the meeting quietly
separated, the O'Connorites evidently in a very ill-
natured mood; and dissatisfied that the atrocious
uproar they had endeavoured to create throughout
had not been attended with more successful results to
themsel% es.

TIE CASES OF MANSLAUGHTER
AT GREAT YARMOUTH.
An exaggerated account, copied from one of the
local papers, appeared in The Sun of Monday last,
relative to two cases of manslaughter which happened
in that borough a few days preceding. The subjoined
statements will place the distorted facts in their cor-
rect light.
On Sunday, the 4th instant, William Moore, the
landlord of the Green Man and Boot, in Charlotte-
street, was apprehended by police sergeants Coleman
and Willamant, on a warrant granted by Richard
Hammond, Esq., charging him with having in his
house, at about one o'clock that morning, violently
assaulted William Burman, a private in the Cold-
stream Guards, so as to endanger his life, Moore
was brought up on Monday, and remanded; and on
Thursday morning Burman died. At two o'clock on
that, day Moore was again brought up before the
Mayor, Samuel Palmer, Esq., and a full Bench of
Magistrates, when, upon investigation, it appeared
that Burman had gone into Moore's house in com-
pany with a pensioner named Diball and two girls of
the town, and a dispute having arisen between him and
Moore about the cnarge for some gin, Moore attacked
Damian, and in the scuffle that ensued, he (Burman)
received the injuries of which he died. Moore was com-
mitted to the Borough gaol to take his trial for
manslaughter, but admitted to bail. He was, how-
ever, detained under the Coroner's warrant, his in-
quest having found a verdict of manslaughter against
him.

On Monday, the sth instant, Gabriel Cook was ap-
prehended by police sergeant Bullen, at Norwich,
and lodged in the station-house here, on a warrant,
granted by the Mayor, S. Palmer, Esq., charging
him with having, in a house of ill-fame, in this bo-
rough, violently kicked William Mann, so as to tense
his death. On Tuesday Cooke was brought before
Samuel Palmer, Esq., 11layor, and a full beneia of
Magistrates, when it appeared, from the evidence,
that Mann had, in the house in question, remonstrated
with Cooke about his (Cooke's) fighting" with and
beating another man, and that, in consequence, a fight
took place between Cooke and Mann, in which
Cooke was worsted and knocked down upon the bed,
where he lay for four or five minutes,and then jumped
ottbreia body
of wilful fory
up suddenly, saying with an oath---" I'll spoil you,"

An
of Mann by the Coroner, and a verdict f o Manslaughter
against Cooke returned.
These two offences took place nearly
at the same
time, and w each
ithin 100 yards of other, in a part
of the town where, although the re are many respect-
able tradesmen living in the immediate neighbourhood,
there are several public-houses of a low caste, and
also many little alleys, called here rows, which are
literally stuffed with houses of ill-fame, and infested
with thieves and prostitutes of the worst description.
Scarcely a day passes but parties are brought lap by
the police for either drunkenness, assault, or disorderly
conducti from Charlotte-street, or the rows adjacent,
but the constant influx of foreigners, fishermen;seamen,
and others, all the dissolute amongst whom flock to this
centre of vice seem to baffle their efilarts altogether to
maintain order, although same approach to it has been
effected.

THE GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE FUND.—
Any attempt to give the aggregate amount of sub-
scriptions hitherto received by the League from various
quarters would be vain, even if it were practicable;
and undesirable at present, because premature. But
we may notice the state of the subscription in some of
the large towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire,—the
only two counties that have hitherto moved in this
subscription. Manchester in two days contributed
to
state
uo
upwards of 4,000/. ; since which the subscription is
proceeding; but, as the collecting-book; are in the
hands of various gentlemen, it is impassible
the amount since received. In Liverpool, up
Mon-
day evening, the amount subscribed was 1,5271. In
Rochdale, the total amount up to yesterday exceeded
1,800/. ! In Yorkshire also the subscription is pro-
ceeding; that of Leeds exceeding 1,0001., and that of
Huddersfield amounting, at the beginning of this
week, to upwards of 1,3001. We have named qnly
five towns, the aggregate subscriptions of which, at
this moment, considerably exceed 10,00/. Five towns,
therefore, hare raised already more than one fifth of
the total sum of 50,0001. The aggregate amount of
the great fund thus raised will be made known at the
meeting on the 30th January.—Mancliester Guardian.
Mr. John Parry's concert on Monday evening, at
Hackney, was very fully attended by a highly ele-
gant and respectable company. Thalberg performed
two of his fantasias with his accustomed matchless
power, also the duet from Norma with Madame
Dukken, on two of Erard's grand pianofortes,
which elicited the most rapturous applause.
Mr. Lazarus played a solo on the clarionet excel-
lently. A great variety of popular songs and duets
were m:.,st successfully sung by Madame and Signor
itonconi, Miss Dolby, Miss ltainforth, :Mr. Hobbs,
and Mr. John Parry. Signor Negri presided at the

SUTHERLANDSIIIRE7 THURSDAY, DEC. 8.--The pro-
pitious state of the weather since Monday of last
week, is truly astonishing at such a season of the
wear, every day of this week having been remarkably
calm and genial. Snow has almost totally dis-
appeared from the highest summits, and the
land is now so dry and pliant, that it is seldom in
such a condition at seed time. Frost peeps in at in-
t irvals, but is as soon driven away by salubrious and
balmy breezes from the high penchant mountains of
West(/' loss. Cattle and shc:p nerer in better
condition at such a period, there being: a sufficient
supply of fodder, and an abundance of turnip. Farmers
have got their cattle of every description in prime
condition.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
