there were near 2,000. It was adjourned until to-morro w
evening, when they are to adopt certain resolutions, of
the same character as those adopted by the colliers in
the Potteries. I fear we shall be subject to the sar se
scenes of confusion then as to-day. One man whore c I
addressed said, What are we to do ? We cannot li ye
meny daye unless we take by force what we cannot ;et
otherwise.' I replied, 'But how unjust to fall back 1.11 ren
the tradesmen, 140 are almost ruined as it is,, and '• No_
thirds of us must close our shops ere long. Th en,'
said the man, come with us and fight for it ; we met nto
do so next week ; this is the only chance for us ; we J can
only die by the soldiers, and we may as well be sh ,ot to I
death as starved.' This is a sad state of things. I. Anti-
cipate some of our friends will give you snore par.aculars
by this post, therefore trust you will excuse brevity.
" Yours very truly."
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P., next addressed the
meeting. He said he had no personal interest in manu-
factures, his entire income was derived from land, and .
he could not therefore be supposed to advocate the views
he entertained from any personal motive. He was con-
vinced that the success of the cause which the League-
advocated was as essentially the true interest of the '
agriculturist as of the manufacturer. He conceived tha
those who were connected with land and advocated ti
existence of the Corn-laws, entirely mistook their ow r,
interest. He was of opinion that the Corn-laws instev
of raising rents tended to lower them and keep theme
down, and tended to diminish employment (he spoke of
the agricultural labourer). No rents were so high us
'those drawn from districts in which manufactures were
connected with agrtulture. They were lunch higher
than the rents
.drawn from districts whom the tenant
relied solely on:the production of corn, as the means of
paying. his rent. He advocated the occupation of land
by email farmees, whose capital was their labour, instead
of its being., let out to large capitalists. The advantages
to the country at large from the occupancy
of . rand by small farmers would be inestimable.
When the labourer was prosperous every class in the
conansunity shiered in that prosperity ; but when the--
eelfish views monopolists were carried out, as•at the
present time, the anomalous state of a prosperous class
in the upper circles living in the same country where
the labouring classes were starving, was the consequence.
tAr R. Peel had stated the annual income of this country
at 166,000,0001. sterling, and was it not a most extraor-
elinary thing that with such an enormous wealth as that
.the great mass of the people should be starving ? Some-
thing must be wrong in the institutions of the empire to
cause swill a -state of things. With respect to ma-
chinery, thoug-ie in its immediate effects it was injurious
to the opera aye by throwing him out of employment,
yet it was tile imately productive of great advantages by
the increased. demand for labour. The Hon. Gentleman
-here enteriel.:;nto lengthened details to show the advan-
teges reeulti ag from a division of the land into small
holdings, ..act read extracts from a pamphlet, published
by himself, to prove that four acres of average land
would be ani ply adequate to support a working man and
his family, a lowing 61bs. a day of food to every member
of a family ; whereas, the dietary in the English
workhouses was to each individual only 18 ounces
of bread, and three ounces of cheese, while in Ireland
-it was still worse, namely, seven ounces of meal and
Dl. vt. potatoes. That allowance was divided into two
meals, beeituee,.as the Commissioners stated, great incon-
venioace would arise from having a third meal or supper.

PORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD—Thu RSDAY.
. The ,splendour of the Cup day at Ascot is proverbial—not
less so is its prototype at Goodwood, where, weather permitting,
we may safely calculate upon plenty of sport, and a large aasem-
blaees of " rank, fashion, and beauty." Such proved to be the
c.v.e this afternoon ; coaches, private carriages, hired vehicles of
every possible description, made their way to the ground at an
(*sly hour, from Brighton, Portsmouth, Worthing, and every
..satiier town within a circle of 30 miles ; nor was the metropolis
wentine." The " Duke of Richmond" and several other
