THE ANTI-CORN-LAW
CONFERENCE.
(Tins DAY.)

Mr. DANIELS, of Marylebone (in continuation fiorn our
Afternoon Edition) said—So did he ; but he thought they
would not advocate that cause the worse' for having their
bellies full.—(Cheers.) He, however, thought an Extension
of the Suffrage without the Ballot would be worse than use-
less. Thousands in the borough of Marylebone had ceased to
register, on account of the oppression to which they had been
exposed, and he was of opinion that it would be of no use to ex-
tend the suffrage without, at the same time, extending protec.
tion to the voter.—(Cheers.) Why, Sir James Graham had,
in 1835, stated that if the Corn-laws should be repealed, the
landlords would not be able to pay the mortgages. Were the
people to be taxed in order that he landlords might. dishonestly
retain possession of that which was not their own?—( Cheers. )
If they were not the rightful owners of the land, let them give
it up, and let the rightfal owners take possession. —( Loud
cheers.) He was himself a pawnbroker, and had had oppor-
tunities of seeing the dreadful state of distress existing. A
poor creature had pawned her bed, and afterwards sold the
ticket; she had previously disposed of her mattia,s, and then
she burned her bedstead ; and when asked why she had done
so, she replied it was to prevent the landlord from getting
it; and we were nearly in the same state. We should soon
be obliged to burn the bedstead to prevent the landlords getting
it. He wished other places would take example by Alaryle-
bone ; there, in order to prevent a Tory from getting in, they
had sunk their private differences, and pieced the two men be •
fore the constituency, balloted for them, and had, in conse-
quence, returned two Liberals. While the Government were
splitting farthings they should nit be splitting straws. Let
them unite, and then they must secure the repeal of this
iniquitous law.—(Cheers.)
Mr. SIDNEY SMITH raid that before he addressed them on
the measures winch ought to be adopted, he begged to remind
them that none of the expressions uttered in the Conference
would be looked upon as expressions of mere individual opinion.
The country looked upon them as the representaiives of the
people, and considered that the opinions were the expression
of the opinion of those represented. The country looked to
them to exercise prudence and wisdom in the conduct of the
great cause which they had undertaken. It had been sug-
gested that their agitation was not on a sufficiently broad
basis ; they were told that they should join with it the Suffrage
movement. That question had frequently been gravely dis-
cussed; and it had been thought the most wise course to turn
neither to the right nor to the left, but to keep this agitation
before the country independant of any other—(Cheers)—and
even at the expense of any other.—(Cheers.) The joining
it. with the movement for the extension of the suffrage woulo
be rather ruining its basis. The representation was a creature
of civilisation ; but was that so broad a question as the question
whether man should have food—whether man should live by his
industry ? With regard to the extension of the Suffrage, he had
his own opinions, and, as an individual, he would be happy to
join in any well-considered movement for the exten-
sion of the Suffrage, but he could not consent to join
the holy cause in which they were engaged for the re
peal of the Corn-laws, with any other cause whatever.
If they had exhausted every expedient, and had made no tro-
gress in the pubic mind, if they had not advanced at all in the
agitation of the great question, then he would say it was time
to say that human nature had reversed its ordinary impulses,
and, with however great regret, he would say that the country,
which was incapable of listening to appeals such as theirs was
not worth sawing—that there was do constitutional change
which could do good to a country plunged so deep in the mire
of calumnies and avarice. Had they themselves done their
duty ? It was the people that were to blame for the present
state of things. They might talk of class legislation—was it
class legislation that sent in a Tory from Leeds ? Was it class
legislation that returned two Tories for Blackburn? Was it
class loislatien that, till the last Parliament, sent a Tory from
Bolton? Was it the same thing that made Stockport, which
for the last six years had been sinking under the Corn-laws,
never have the good sense until last year to return any but a
Tory ? When, however, they returned that excellent man
(Mr. Cobden) they had not, as, a body, half done their -busi-
ness. They heard Mr. O'Connell, who came there as
the solitary representative of 105 Members of Parliament from
Ireland, say that he was ready to assist them. Would Ireland
join them? agricultural Ireland—lreland that was at present in
a state of starvation, that was infinitely worse off than Eng-
.

After a few words from Mr. Johnson. in explanation of some
errors which had crept into the newspaper report of what her
had stated on the preceeding day, a statement of which he ex-
pressed his intention of sending to the papers,
Mr. Itewsoe wished to call the attention of the meeting to
a matter which had reference to the character of the delega-
tion. Mr. Gaily Knight, the Member for Nottinghamshire, was
retorted to have said in the House of Commons last night-
. He (Mr. G. Knight) adverted to the manner in which this
question had been brought forward, and particularly dwelt upon
the admission of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton. (Mr.
Villiers) that the motion was not his own, but the motion of
the Anti-Corn-law League. lie (Mr. Knight) doubted whe-
ther the Ilouse should quietly submit to the dictation of such a
body. o Be (Mr. Rawson) was surprised to fled such language
front such a person as the Hon. Member for Nottinghamshire.
There was another remark to which he wished to refer ; it was
the followirg. e. On a previous evening the lion. Member for
Stockport (171 r. &Weir) asked him ( Mr. Knight) what was
the state of Nottingham. It was certainly not in such a state
as he could desire to see it; but he had every reason to believe
that it was not in the appalling state that the Hon. Alember
had described. In some branches there were already symptoms
of improvement. He hoped that this would be consolatory to
the Hon. Member, and that it might induce him to think that
the accounts he had received from other places were as much
exaeeerated as that with which he had been furnished from
Nottingham." Now he wished to draw the attention of the meet-

would state whether the unemployed in 'Nottingham were less
than formerly, and whether, as he was a guardian. the appli-
cations for relief were on the increase or decrease.
Mr. SNEATH observed that there was an increase in the
paupers. Only last Tuesday they had a great quantity of
new cases that had never been on the books before.
Mr. Rawsots wished to know whether Mr. Sneath thought
they were likely to increase ?
Mr. SHEATH thought it extremely likely, as a great number
had been turned off within the last fortnight or three weeks.
He considered it reasonable to suppose that they would not apply
for relief directly, but it was generally supposed that the in-
crease of paupers would be great. They were now paying 100/.
more a week than last year.
Mr. RAWSON wished to know whether there had been any
falling off in the branch of trade to which Mr. Sneath be-
longed? Had there been any falling off in the wages?
Mr. SHEATH observed that the wages in his trade had cer-
tainly fallen off. The men were not getting anything like
half, they were not getting a third of what they did a year ago.
Mr. Hawsers considered that a dreadful state of thiugs, and
yet in the face of all this, Sir R. Peel, last night, in alluding to
the statement that had been made respecting a fall in
wages, had said, "that it could not proceed from a want
of the repeal of the Corn-laws ; but from competition among
the manufacturers themselves." Now he thought it had been
clearly shown that the fall of wages could be traced to the
Corn-laws. He thought the details that had been given by Mr.
Sneath were such as should induce them to double their energy
in the great cause in which they were embarked.—(Cheers.)
Mr. SIDNEY SMITH considered it very important that
the country should be' informed of the gross decep-
tion which last evening • Eir Robert Peel had practised
either upon himself or upon the House, or upon both,
relative to the proi.pects of the harvest. '1 he Hon. Baronet
had congratulated the country on the fact, that on that day
the price of wheat had fallen 2s. per quarter, and that there-
fore the prospect of abundance was indicated by the clearest
test, that of the market. What ! Did he forget that the temporary
fall in the price, produced at ould rise in the duty, and therefore
just postponed the liberation so clamantly required from bond.
The truth was, that the fall was indicative of a deficient har-
vest. It proved that the farmers kid their account with this—
that if they did not sell their wheat now they would be swamp-
ed with foreign wheat at the ls. duty. The best proof that the
harvest was short was that the price of wheat in bond was higher
yesterday than before. 'I he importers knew that they would
get it in at the Is. duty with greater certainty than they
did before, and, therefore, should hold firmly at an increased
price. The farmers perceived this also, and th ere fore sell off
now, before the fall, which they' dread is coming. The state of
the market, therefore, just proves the reverse of the Prcmier's
inference. He (Mr. Smith) really believed that the Govern-
ment was even more ignorant than callous, and ignorance, as
it was their best excuse, so it was their only apology for perse-
vering in a course of policy which was hastening the country
to destruction.
On the motion of Mr. Rawson, the following Resolution
was unanimously agreed to, amid much cheering .
" That the thanks of this Conference be given to the Right
Hon. Lord Brougham, fcr the able manner in which he brought
the subject of the national distress before the House of Peers.
That the thanks of this Conference be given to the Hon. C. P.
Villiers, M.P., and to J. Fielden, Esq., M.P., and to the
Members of the House of Commons who supported the motion
for a Committee of the House to reconsider the question of the
Corn-law, with a view to its total repeal."
Mr. liwwsosr, just as the meeting was about to break up,
observed, " Don't forget that Lord John Russell voted for the
Committee."—( Cheers. )
The meeting then adjourned to eleven o'clock tc-morrow.

CONSERVATIVE GATIIERING.—h is reported that
there was a large gathering of Conservative Members at
Sir Robert Peel's this morning, nominally for the pur-
pose of considering what would be the best course to
adopt with regard to the Poor-law. It is, however, ru-
moured that the real object is to sound the Conservatives
as to the propriety of relaxing the rigour of the existing.
Corn-law.

COM-PROMISE COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)
SOUTHAMPTON.
The Committee met at the usual hour, the Hon. J. S.
WORTLEY in the Chair.
Mr. Lankaster was- called, and produced the accounts of
the election on the Liberal side. He had not seen them since
the 14th of September. In the promise book was the name of
Whitmarsh. He had promised to vote for Capt. Mangles. He
voted for the Conservative candidates, and Mr. Sharpe made a
note of his being brought up by " Jack Wren." There was a
memorandum of his own to this effect, " Was not this a voter
who promised Cooper." He had a list of chairman and colour-
men, but no payments were made. He attended the Liberal
Committee every night, and he was satisfied Mr. Wren was
never there.
Abraham Cave was called, but there was nothing of import-
ance in his evidence.
Edward Cockerell proved that Wren told him, when he re-
ceived the Speaker's w arrant in September, he was offered
three hundred pounds by Mr. Baker, if he withdrew his
objections, and told what he knew (Stile election. Mr. Wren
told him that he had never received money from Mr. Mackay.
He (witness) did What he could to forward the interest of Lord
Bruce and Mr. Martyn.
To Mr. BAITER—Wren did not withdraw the objections.
To the CHAIRMAN—He had no doubt that bribery was
committed on both sides. It did not come under his own ob-
servation. Persons asked him for bribes. He did not counte-
nance such applications.
Samuel Liuney proved that Redward told him; he had not
received any money as a bribe. Redwards commenced the
conversation with him. Thomas Brown was. present. Did
not know much of Redwards.
Henry Pike proved that Wren did not show him ten
pounds on the day of nomination, which he said he got front
Mr. Mackay. Has not the slightest recollection of it.
it was not likely that such a circumstance would have taken
place without his recollecting it. Never told Wren he got 221.
for a dinner at the Albion. Wren told him he was made an
..ffer by Mr. Baker.
To Mr. BAKER—Is a strong Conservative. Got 101. at the
last eleetion ; it was an exchange for other money ; had two
rooms occupied in his house ; one of them was a refreshment
room ; supplied refreshments; was not paid ; did not expect
any payment.:There was a cheque ler 22/. in his name. lie
did not receive the money ; the Banker's accounts ate wrong ;
Knows the Godley,. Did not pay them any money. Did not
pay either of them. Did not employ them, or either of them
as messengers. (Mr. Baker here referred to the evi-
dence taken - before the late Committee, by which it
appeared that the witness employed one of the God-
leys at ss. a-day, and paid him about 4!.) His memory was
now refreshed.—(Laughter.) He did pay Godley some money.
He paid it out of his OR n pocket. He did not state to the late
Committee what he stated to-day about Wren.
Thomas TwifOrd was next called, and stated that Mr.
Wreni canvassed him at the last election, and gave him a note
to a pa-son called Mackay. Is a tenant of Mr. Abrahams.
.►ir. Abrahams did not canvass him for his vote.
To to Mr. BAKER—Knew Wren before the election. He
did not promise Wren to vote. He asked witness to vote for
Martyn and„Brtice. Witness answered that it was likely he
would. Witness .said he did not like to be losing his time.
Wren asked him whether 51. would be an object to him.
lie (witness) answered it would, and he wished he could
get it. On the day of the election Wren desired him to
breakfast at Pike's ; did so, and from thence he went to vote.
lie afterwards called on Wren fur the money ; but he (Wren)
said he had given away what he had. He gave witness a letter
to Mr. Mackay. He did not know what Sir. Mackay it was.
He did not take the letter to Mr. Mackay ; he tore it up.
To the COMMITTEE—Cannot say why he tore the letter.
Cannot say why he should tear the letter, by which he was to
get the Si. he was so anxious to receive. He did not expect
anything from Wren.
Joseph Clerk was called, and stated that Charley Brown came
up to him and took gold and notes out of his pocket, and said
that is the way we are doing it." Ile knew Brown was ac-
tive on the Conservative side. Thinks it was not likely he could
have such a sum .of his own. Believes that there was bribery
and treating at Southampton at the last election.
William Gale examined—Was a voter at the last election.
Voted for Lord Bruce and Mr. Marten. Lisle employed him
as a messenger. He got 7s. 6d. a day, and was paid weekly.
Ile was also emploied as colourman at 11. a day. He was em-
ployed two days as colourman. That money is due to him.
Charles Brown stated that the money he had in his hand,
and which he showed to Mr. Clark and Mr. Buchan, were for
things which he procured for the purpose. The notes were
what are called " flash" notes. He did it by way of a joke.
The votes will follow those who have plenty of money. Knows
Mr. Wren. Saw him at the time the late Committee
was sitting. Mr. Wren came to him and said that
he (Wren) wished to speak with Mr. Deacon. Witness in-
formed Mr. Deacon, and then he took Wren to him. He
left them speaking together. He did not hear what they
were speaking about.
Mr. Joseph Ball stated that he had signed cheques. One
was for 75/. ; it went to pay for dinners. Received a letter
from Wren stating that theme were seven or eight voters who
could be bribed. lie saw Wrcn, and said it was absurd to
bribe, as the election was secure. He went with Wren to
Portwood to see a voter' named Russell. Saw Russell but did
not speak to him.
Wm. Hogson, an innkeeper of Southampton, stated he had
supplied dinners and grog to several voters, and was paid 11e0/.
oy Sir. Cheeseman.
Mr. Cheeseman, president, Mr. Lucas, the secretary, and
Mr. Scobell, the treasurer of the Conservative Convivial Asso-
ciation, were cailed, and produced the Looks and accounts of
the Association.
In reply to Mr. Baker, Mr. Cheeseman stated he had re-
ceived 400/. front Sir. Siabson and Mr. Stebbing, out of which
he paid the debts of the Association, for dinners, &c. One-
halt of this money was given to him subsequent to the election.
The examination of this witness having concluded the Com-
mittee adjourned.

M ARM:: T INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of July

Supan.—Since. our last report, importers of West India
Muscovadoes Sugar have manifested more firmness and have ob-
tained former prices for all descriptions. To-day there was more
activity in the British Plantation Sugar Market, and the prices
paid were equal to those of Friday.
This afternoon the public sale of 149 hhds 1 tree Barbadoes
was well attended, but the biddings were languid, and a part
only found purchasers at prices 6d per esst under those of the
previous sale,—fine yellow sold at 65s 6d to 675, good 63s 6d
to 655, mid 60s to 63s per cast, it was upon the whole but an
indifferent parcel, being deficient in colour.
REFINED.—A better demand existed for Refined Sugar for
home consumption, and a good business was done at stiffer
rates; standard lumps fetched 81s, Tittlers Sis 6d to 86s,
brown grocery lumps 80s to Bls per cast. Bastards were in
good request at. 49s to 61s, and pieces at 62s to 745. In Treacle
more business was done. The market is firmer for bonded
crushed Sugar ; the demand is good at 26s to 26s 3d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the demand was active and
prices were firm; at auction 2,157 bags were readily disposed
of, and at prices fully equal to those of the farmer sale ; fine

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—Lord Brougham last night brought before
the House of Lords, by a motion for a Select Committee,
the unparalleled distress of the country. The motion
was resisted by the Government on the same groundi
sa those which were adduced in the House of Commons
—that an inquiry into the subject, with a view to dis-
cover the source of the calamity, would necessarily be
tedious, and that an attempt to discover and apply a re-
medy would be futile. The people, then, so far as the Go-
vernment and the Legislature, influenced by the Govern-
ment are concerned, are left without help and without
hope ! Lord Brougham's speech last night was worthy
of the Noble Lord's best days. It was emphatically
ad rem. By keeping to the subject, instead of being
tempted to indulge those aberrations by which his Lord-
ship's statements and arguments on important questions
have frequently been weakened, and his efforts stultified,
the subject was invariably kept before the minds of
his audience, and its important features illustrated with
a clearness, and stamped with a force upon the judgment
and feelings, absolutely irresistible. Having laid before
their Lordships authenticated statistical statements, the
validity and correctness of which were not disputed,
Lord Brougham selected instances of suffering from the
tion, the intensity of distress and suffering, to which the
general mass, by way of exemplifying the deep destitu-
labouring classes in the manufacturing districts are
reduced.
STANDARD.—The distress in the manufacturing
districts again furnished occasion for long debates in the
two Houses of Parliament last night. The debates
upon this subject are painful and wearisome ; but let
them not be thought unprofitable, how hopeless
so ever a present remedy—how far so ever Lords
and Commons may be at present from the
truth. It is right that the Legislature should
manifest its sympathy with a people suffering with noble
resignation ; and it is " by mistakes we learn," as a wise
man •has said ; by fully examining all paths it is that the
riLrfit path is at length discovered. In the House of
Lords Lord Brougham moved for a Committee to inquire
into the causes of the public distress, and proved, by a very
long and ingenious speech, with which he introduced his
motion, that he at least is in the dark upon the subject.
His Lordsh:p, however, failed to show that a CoMmittee,
would much enlighten him. A Committee to collect all
the evidence that could offered, ax;d that properly
would be offered, must sit for years, and in the end it
would arrive only at the fact, which is uilhappily too ob-
vious to require -a 'single witress— the fact that
the manufacturing people are. exposed ,cruel•
privations. A Committe could pronktnee only -
upon details, but the real mischief lies in a principle

for Lord Brougham what no Committee can do. This afternoon Cocoa-nut fetched 39s 6d to 4vs per cwt.
Let us try to emancipate his mind from those
wretched trammels by which he is hampered and
perplexed, and direct him, if not to an immediate
remedy !Or the existing distress—which is, we fear,
unattainable—to the causes of that distress ; and as
his Lordship has, in the course of his legal studies,
learned from Quite, that to trace an evil to its source is
the first step to its removal, he will appreciate the ser-
vice. This service is due to Lord Brougham more than
to any other man, because (as we believe) he has, un-
consciously, done more by his brilliant talents and un-
tiring energy, to create the affliction which he laments,
than any other man living.
