TO JOSEPH HOME, ESQ.. 31. P.

Date ► Forfar, :Ist July, 1842.
At a large public meeting of the inhabitants of Forfar, held
in the open air, on. Thursday morning, the 21st July, at which
there appeared to be between 2,000 and 3,000 persons present.
'1 he Provost having been called on to preside, the follow-
ing Declaratim was moved by the Rev. W. Lone, seconded by
Mr. Peter Thornton, and unanimously carried:—
That
this meeting, aware 4, f the widely apread and daily
augmenting distress of the millions of the population through-
out the manufacturing districts, are convinced that unless re-
lief is speedily afforded, by removing those monopolies, and re-
dressing those grievances' of which the people righteously com-
plain, outbreak and revolution may immediately ensue.
That, with these facts before them, this meeting regards the
cruel indlfference with which Parliament appears to treat the
woes and wrongs of an impovershed, starving, and air:l,st ex-
asperated people; as the gre=atest insult that can be offered, in
return for their patient and peaceable endurance of unparal-
leled distress.

That fearing that her Majesty's Ministers may be so infa-
tuated as to attempt the prorogation of l'arli sment without
paying any regard to the present alarming stale of the country,
this meeting respectfully, but urgently, call upon J. Hume,
Esq., the representative of the Angus Burghs, in conjunction
with other Liberal Members of Parliament, to offer every pos-
sible opposition to the prorogation of Parliament, and to endea-
vour, by eery constitutional means, to arrest the wheels of
Government, by the rejection or prevention of all votes of sup-
ply, until such time as some efficient measure of relief be adopted
for the country, and till the wrongs and just grievances of the
people are redressed.
That the Chief Magistrate of this town be requested and
authorised to sign this document, in the name of the thousands
now assembled, and forward the same, without delay, to .t.
flume, Esq., and that a copy of the sam.t be inserted in some
of the local newspapers.
( Signed in the name, and on behalf of the meeting),
JOHN BOOTH, Jun., Esq., Provost of Forfar,
Chairman.
Sunday, two o'clock, 1842.
I do sincerely hope the Conference will neither break up,
nor allow the supplies to be voted, without ringing the his-
tory of our wrongs in the ears of our oppressors. The Con-
ference is doing immense good here. iNo.hing else is talked
about by Whig, Tory, or Radical, and 1 verily believe were this
the beginning, instead of the close, of the session, that Minis-
ters must yield. We must not give them a moment's peaee
till Parliament breaks up ; and berore it again opens we must
again be at our posts in London, determined to remain there
till full and complete justice is done to us. Depend upon it if
this is done, that no Ministry can stand the storm which will
be raised. Our friends in the House will be irresistible, and
the pressure out will make them so.
THOMAS WOOLLEY.
Brentford, Middlesex, July 23, 1d42.

Sir,—l should be glad if you would lay before the Con-
ference the following returns, showing the increase of pauperism
in the Brentford Union since Lady-day, 1839. The people of
West Middlesex are slumbering in fancied security ; but it is to
be hoped that the ten parishes which eompose the Brentford
Union will now open their eyes to the fact that the g,neral
distress has already began to affect them, and that their best.
policy is to join heartily with you and the Conference in agi-
tating for the total repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws.

The returns for the intervening years show a gradual increase,
and therefore Ido not think it necessary to copy them. I will
only add that these returns have recently been ordered by the
Board of Gpardians. I think it would be well if our friends
who are members of Boards of Guardians would obtain similar
returns froin their respective unions ; lam persuaded it would
then be found that distress is spread far mere widely than
some• persons imag.ne.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully,
ONE OF THE GUARDIANS.

P. S. In cons quence of the increase in the number of pau-
pers the relieving officer has applied for adcitional assistance.
Nottingham, July 25, 1842.

of voters through non- payment of rates compared with last

admitted the.. their great .engine must be the opinion
of the masses ; but they could not create an enlightened
state of opinion in a dux,
and their efforts should be di- .
reated to diseminating informations among the people.
But those who had so long refused their just demands,.
would only be moved by the prospect of the actual dan-
ger of fortis re.iistance. If asked to be merciful, they
replied with Shylock—
" On What compulsion must I ? tell me that.'
What had caused th& tUnvaral if mighty Rome ?—of
proud Venice ? Aristocratical oppression. Let them
look to Genoa and the other cities of Italy, and they
would learn that s.ooner or later aristocratic oppression
would meet its just reward. The French Revolution
taught the same lesson. • Let our own sordid bread-
taxers study that lesson. It had been asked who might
he considered the most ferocious murderer—he
who cut his victim's throat, or he who suffered his victim
to die a thousand deaths by faniine. Throughout the
whole range of history nothing could be found more
horrible then the death of Ugolino—and how did the
conduct of the tyrant who starved. him to death differ
frith that of the English laudocracy. The Italian was
actuated by feelings of revenge—the English aristocrat
from sordid self-interest. The Italian left ,a family to
starve—the English aristocrat left a nation to starve.
He knew that it had been proposed by one who would
go down to posterity as Mr. Gallows Knight, to hang
the prophets, yet he would warn them to beware in time.
Mr. SIBSON (not a delegate, and a gentleman who ap-
peared to be unknown to all present) then rose to ad-
dress the meeting. He said he had been a farmer, and
at cne time a strenuous advocate of the Corn-laws, but
that he had, by the force of circumstances, become con-
vinced that it. would be for the benefit of the agricul-
turalists themselves that the Corn-law should be repealed.
Mr. CRABTREE, of Todmorden, read a statement for
the purpose of showing the • intense distress existing
among the labouring population in that locality.
Children frequently went out into stables to
.pick up
beans and oats, and other portions of the provender
of horses, and ate them to supply the cravings of
hunger. Every trade was in a state of the extremest
suffering and destitution ; and if Sir Robert Peel pro-
rogued Parliament without the adoption of same reme-
dial measures, the consequences in the ensuing winter
would be awful.

• Mr. SHAW, of London, said ' that he had known the
.metropolis for the last twenty-four years, and had
never experienced anything like the depression of
trade and the want of confidence from whiCh
the trading interests of London were suffering at the
present moment. He attributed all the existing distress
and misery to class legislation—(Cheers)—to those Acts
-of Parliament which. prevented the industrious artizan
front exchanging the fruits of his labour for the agricul-
tural produce of other parts of the world. To those laws
he attributed the great increase orpauperism..in conse-
quence of which the rate-payers themselves were
being gradually ground • down into jelupers, and
that state of things would - continue, 'unless free
trade principles should be completely established.
Sir Robert Peel had said that machinery was the cause
of distress. Why, machinery had never done tailoring
work, machinery hail never done shoemakers' work,
machinery had never made a shirt, machinery had never
made braces, machinery was not employed in the tigri
culturul districts ; and yet the distress was as intense
among . tailors, and shoemakers, and sempstresses, and
bracemakers, and agricultural labourers, as it was among
any other class of the community. He had the other day,
in a large manufacturing town, said to some of the persons
out. of employ,. suppose- it is • machinery that has
thrown you out of work." " Oh, no, Sir'!" was the
reply, " the machines are standing idle now ; while the
machines were at work wo were employed, now they are
idle, we are idle." " Well," was his reply,- " now the
machines are out of employ, I suppose you will go to
your handlooms and work, and keep them out of em- '
ploy ?" The labourers rep'ied that they could get no
orders, there were no orders coming from abroad. So
much for the fallacy of machinery being the cause of dis-
tress. Then Sir R. Pe:l talked ofovertrasling. Why, as long
as we could • get an equivalent for the goods exported
trading could never cause distress. Trading was the
glory of England, and if it had not been for- the skill
and industry of the manufacturers and traders England
would at this moment have been a miserable agricul-
tural country, with only two classes existing in it=
landlords and slaves. What had Unproved the value
of the land? Certainly manufacture, ; and- to them it
was that the aristocracy was indebted for the increased
value of their estates. Sir Robert Peel had eueted from
Mr. Beckinghain's work on America, fn. the purpose of
showing that even. in • New York, where the price of
labour was high, and there was a great demand •for
labour, persons had died from destitution, and Sir
Robert had attributed a great portion of the distress- in
Anierica to the Americans having speculated in stocks,
shares, railroads, tied canals, instead of devoting their
energies to agricultural pursuits, which was the basis of
national. wealth Why, it was the Corn-laws of England
which had obliged the 'Americans to speculate in this
manner, because England refused to take their agri-
cultural produce. Now, what was the cause of these
deaths from destitution in New .York? it should be
recollected that nine-tenths of the emigrants who went
to America landed at New York. He had known 7,000 or
8,000 emigrants land there in one month. Many of them
landed just at the commencement of the winter, without a
shilling in their pockets, without any clothing—in fact ,
they were paupers, who had be• n shipped off from Eng-
land for the United States. At the commencement of
winter the rivers and canals were frozen over, provisions
were consequently scarce, scarcely a place could he pro-
cured for these poor creatures to sleep in, and many
doubtlessly died of starvation ; but what occasioned
this ?• doubtless- the English Corn and ProviSion-laws,
which prevented these poor people getting cheap food
at home, and forced them to emigrate. slf they had,
had the means of • proceeding up to Ohio -as soon
as they landed, and about 61. each would enable
chem•to• do so,' they would be in a .country where a
carpenter would earn ss. 9d. a-day ; a stonemason, or a
bricklayer, 6s. 4d. ; a weaver, ss. 3d. ; and a farm-
labourer, 3s. lid. In Ohio the price of' a quarter of
wheat was 325. 4d., and the beef was only 2d. a pound.
In the West the labourer would be far better off than he
would be here. He had known several labouring. •
emigrants, who, after being there three years,
had beentne possessed of twenty acres of land.—(Cheers.)
Unless the Corn-laws were repealed, England would
sink lower and lower. They were getting poorer and
poorer every day, and the poorer they got the more
powerful did their oppressors become. The object of
the aristocracy was to reduce them all to a state of I
serfdom. The cause of Corn-law repeal was making
great progress in Ireland ; and if they would send over
a few lecturers there, the farmers of Ireland wo:dd be- •
come enlightened on the subject, as they were now be-
ginning to see that the Corn laws were a fallacy.
Mr. LEWIS, of Stroud, said that throughout the agri-
cultural districts, the farmers -were beginning to be dis-
satisfied with the Corn-laws, and were inclined to be in
favour of the repeal.
Mr. MOORE next addressed the meeting. He said
there was one point in reference to this subject which
they should endeavour to keep before their eyes—namely,
the necessity of quickly- accomplishing the object they
had in view—the repeal of the Corn-laws. - For the last
four or five )ears, manufactures were steadily getting
into a worse state than they had been in hitherto. Sir
R. Pei.•l might quote communications, and City articles,
from the cewspapers, but the question was-plain. Had
the rwople got bread—had the got employment—had
the number of persons who Vielted for relief to the work=
hou-ie become diminished ? No. Things were daily
getting worse and worse, while the Government were
looking to the chapter of accidents for a remedy for the
evils of the country—looking to a good harvest, from
which the relief to be derived was at least temporary.
They need not then look to the Government, unless they
roused the people. Let them agitate, agitate, during the
next few months, and success must follow their efforts.
The Government complained of the obstruction of pub-
lic business when the friends of the people in the House
of Commons endeavoured to draw attention to the dis-
tress of the people, and seek a remedy for it. What
was the meaning of such • complaints ? Was it not the
business of Government to attend to the condition of
the people ? What was the use of a Government if the
people under its protection was to be starved ? They
should be most urgent at the present time to attain their
object ; for if things continued as they now were, other
countries which weru becoming our rivals in the prochw-
don of manufactures would exclude us from every fo-
reign market. Let them take care lest the repeal of the
Corn-laws should come too late to remedy the evils which
they. had originated. Why not throw open our ports to
America—to the whole world? Away with the sophism
urged by the short-sighted advocates of the Corn-laws,
" be dependent on foreigners." Why not look
upon the natives of foreign countries . as brothers,
not as strangers, to be treated with suspicion
strangers, to spite whom, we starved ourselves
lle feft.rred to- an article in the Sunday Times, headed
" Will the military fire upon the people ?" from which
he quoted the following passage:—"'Phis is a question
which those who are hinting at physical force being a
pewee, for the presentdistress should put to themselves.
It is et question which has been already answered by the
military themselves, who instead of preparing bullets to
feed the starving multitude with, have made collections
to assist them with food. The 88th, the bravest regiment •
that ever faced their country s foe, whose bold and-
daring deeds of valour have entitled them to have in-
scribed upon their banners the motto "Clear the way !"

and that they will not the upon their own flesh and
blood—their fathers, brothers, and sisters, whom star-
vation has driven to madness. Even the majesty of the
law is checked in the vindication of its power, as evinced
by Mr. Bennett, Queen's Counsel and Crown prosecu-
tor, in the case of the Ennis riots, who, after the con-
viction of the rioters, prayed that the sentence should
not be passed upon them for nets committed by them
when suffering from starvation. Baron Richards, the
Judge who tried them, expressed his delight at the accused
escaping, as he emphatically declared that it would be to
him a source of heartful pain to sentence men to punish-
ment, for breaches of the law which starvation forced
them to perpetrate. Those circumstances ought to open
the eves of our rulers to the • unnatural state to which
bad laws, and class legislation, have reduced the coun-
try, and ought to make them tremble for the result."
The facts here mentioned, should teach the Government,
that there was a point, beyond which they could not go,
in trying the patience of the people, for they might find

P. A. Taylor, Eq.
Mr. Alderman CHAPPLE, being called on, said he had
ri-ceived two letters—one from his salesman, the other
from his son-in-law, both speaking of the great depres-
sion or trade. Having read the letters, he said, these
were short, but weighty statements, a'd contradicted the
assertions of the Manchester Guardian respecting the re-
vival «of trade in th;.t town. lie had given some detailed
statements of the distress of the c,,untry, which had
gone forth to the public, -but by no means to the extent
of which they were aware. . When he went to reside in
the township of Chorley land was, let for agricultural
purposes at 21. 10s. per acre, which had since been sold
for building, at from 401. to 120/. per acre. Another
case he was acquainted with was, that of a manufactory
where 25,000/. had been sunk within the last year.
Not could save the country except a removal of all
'restrictions on commerce, and giving them a free inter-
course with all the world. He had lately been present at
an interview with one ,of the Ministry, who was
mentioning various difficulties with Nhich the question
was surrounded ; he (Mr.",Chapple) said the question
laid in a nutshell ; there were' two persons wishing to
exchange their commodities, but a third part, stood be-
tween them, and said they should not do it. So we were
half-starved for the want of their food, and they half-
naked for want of our goods. The distress could not be
seen in London ; they must go to the distressed districts
to as,prtain the truth of the facts they stated. Rut
if some remedy were not applied the distress
would reach, the metropolis '; if it went on in
the same ratio, the starving people would come
up by thousands and help themselves to their surplus.
The land must support the poor ; that was the first
demand on it. The clergy had secured their portion,
and the other part, the landlord's, would, in such a state
of things, be worth nothing at all.
Mr. GASKILL (of Warrington), after -pologising for
his incompetence as a representative of the Anti-Corn-
law Association of IVarrington, proceeded to draw the
attention 'of the meeting tai the state of the manufacturing
towns of the north. They did n,t, depend so entirely on
tile cotton manufacture as Manchester; they had various
other branches of trade established among them,
and in all the depression which had fallen
on the commerce of the country, they had
hitherto maintained their prosperous conditiun ; but
now there was bankruptcy among their shopkeepers,
distress among the operatives, and increasing poor-rates,
and it was evident that the only remedy was an organic
change in their commercial system. There was one view
, of the question which could not be dwelt on too lung—
that was, how could they effect their ends. The
great engine they must use to overturn this giant
monopoly was the people.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
They must instruct thew in politics and political eco-
nomy. But when their lecturers were addressing an
g :cultural audience, perhaps it would be advisable that
they should connect with
,a repeal of the C.nn-laws a
repeal of leases, that they might show them the battle
they were fighting was that of the people at large. It was

that the power on which they relied might fail them.
Ifowever, he reprobated violence of any kind. and con-
tended that, -by preserving the peice, , the people had
everything • _to gain. Ho inisted on • the • .riOtt
which the representatives of the people had
,4
the House of Commons to stop the supplies till
wants of the people were attended to. They were bound
by every means in their power to embarass the Govern-•
went—a Government that had embarassed the .country
---,that had starved _ the. people. He rejoiced-that-Sir It
Peel had added the Incotne, tax to -the other burdens of
the country. It would rouse the people to a sense of the
oppressive conduct of the pre.ent Government. And
when the people firmly and with the voice as it were of
one man demanded the redress of their grievances,. de
minded the repeal of the Corn-laws, that repeal
would be granted, and the sister monopoly .of
the sugar duties would •be removed.. Then too
the Income-tax would be put an end to. The
middle classes had been hitherto attached to parties—to
Whigs and Tories, instead of attending to their own in-
terests,. and hence the strength of their oppressors. The
middle classes had never been united enough—above. all,.
they never had sympathy. enough with the pourer
classes. They did not stretch out the hand of safety to
their suffering countrymen till the waves of oppression
approached themselves. The hand-loom weavers were
the first agitators against the Corn-!aws, but they were
not supported by the membersof the cotwounity whose
assistance would have been most vaktible--by the middle-•-elasseswho let the •question slumbersfrom 1815, when
the question was first raised by the hand-loom weavers,
until the distress resulting from those restrictive laws
began to affect themselves. .

Alr. EDWARDS, of Lambeth, concurred in the pro-
priety of embarrassing the Government by every means,
till the wants of the people were attended to and remedied.
Mr. SIDNEY SMITH announced that the members of
the deputation who had waited on the Cabinet Ministers
on Monday, would report the result to-day.
The m2eting was then adjourned till to-day.

- -
INTERVIEW WITH SIR JAMES
GRAHAU.—(YESTERDAY.)
Mr. 11. ASHWORTH, as the Spokeisman of the Deputa-
tion, drew the attention of Sir Jarries Graham to the im-
portant Tact disclosed by Mr. Rawson, namely, that
Great Britain had for upwards of 200 years manufac-
tured hosiery for all . the world. The country which
plumed itself upon being the most advanced in civilisa-
tion, was the only country in which the people were
ceasing to wear stockings—and he would observe of his
own neighbourhood, that :often as he bed heard of
the distress having pro Coded from over production,
there were people whose families were supported
by weaving shirting and other cloth, who %%ere
themselves shirtless. • The people of his own neighbour-
hood were moral, skilful, and intelligent,
and therefore
when he heard, as upon this occasion, of the exasperatedlanguage of those who were suffering in. other. pluem, he
felt but little apprehension for the peace of that part
of the country. It was true they were discon-
tented, .and how had . they shown it ? They had
taken into their consideration how they should avert
the greater calamities which awaited them, and what
was the course they were pursuing ? They had sent a
mmorial from Manchester to their Representatives,
signed by upwards of 60,000 persons, and another from
Salford to Mr. Brothel-ton. signed by upwards of 6,000,
requesting them to stop the supplies.
Sir J. GRAHAM—How many amongst those 70,000
persons,underzAand the-subject ?
_ _

Mr.. ASILWORTH could not pretend to answer, but
there were many of them who did understand
what they were doing, and in defending such a course,
they took advantage of the precedents which were fre-
quent previous to the Revolution of 1668. Before that
period, the revenue of this country was principally raised
from the landholders ; and when they saw extravagance
and foreign wars, they at once stopped the supplies. It
would also be recollected, that the industrious classes
felt that they had now endured long and great privations,
and that they were accustomed to remark upon the advan-
tages derived to the country from the •exercise of their
skill and labour ; that the landowners of the present day
had received improved rents, and enjoyed a command of
comforts unknown to their forefathers, whilst the labour-
ing classes found that their condition was daily becoming
worse. .

Sir J. GRAHAM here suddenly interrupted Mr. Ash-
worth; by inquiring whether he was to infer that the la-
houring classes thought that they had some claim to the
landowners' estates ?

Mr. Ash WORTH, under somo emotion, appealed to the
Deputies whether it was their opinion that he, had con-
veyed any such idea. They at once, and unanimously
declared that it was utterly impossible for any one to
have taken such an impression front what Mr. Ashworth
had stated.

Mr. AsuwoliTH proceeded, and reminded Sir James
Graham that Sir Robert Peel had told the landlords that
the manufacturing prosperity of this country was of far
more value to them than any advantages they could pos-
sibly gain by the Corn-ita ; and he (Mr. A.) might
take the liberty to assert; as his opinion, that, if the
Corn-laws were not repealed, or if the present de-
pression of trade continued, the remaining interest which
landlords might possess in mortgaged and rack-rented
estates would not be worth many years' purchase.
Upon the rising of the Deputation
Sir J. GRA Ham remarked, in a way somewhat promo-
nitory, that if any serious outbreak were to take place in
this country, in one week all the institutions of the cOun-
tiy would be broken down, the rights of property would
Le saer:liced,• and even the labouring classes themselves
uould be amongst. the greatest sufferer&
Mr. ASHWORTH said if Sir James Graham would
also allow him to,. speculate —upon the results of
such a disaster, he would venture to say, that
whatever might befal the rest, the sound religious
feeling ,of the ,country would be safe ; that the sound
moral tone of our middle-class would be prescrved, and,
though it might pass through a severe ordeal, industrial
freedoth would eventually he established.

INTERVIEW -----------
ITH LORD RIPON
AND MR. GLADSTONE.

The Deputation proceeded at two o'clock to the office
of the Board of Trade, and were introduced to Lord
Ripon and Mr. Gladstone. The injustice of fettering
our commercial intercourse with America was touched
upon.
Lord RIPON said that it did ;not follow that they would
expected, even were those restric-
gtieotntshreemmoavrekceLt they
was notorious that corn was some
years dearer there than in England, and, on an average of
a number of years, it was during half the time as dear as in
England; and the price was habitually dearer than in
the corn-exporting countries of Europe, who would
supply this country were a free importation permitted.
Mr. BRIGHT said that the American tariff in 1824 and
1826 was only passed by a bare majority in both Houses
of the American Legislature, and the evident injustice of
our Corn-law was the cause of the defeat of the free-
trade party; and moreover if .his Lordship admitted, as
he had done, that corn could not be brought into this
country from America cheaper than our home-grown
produce, then where was the necessity for keeping up a
barrier to keep out their corn? The democracy of Ame-
rica were opposed to restriction, and now that the two
parties in that country were balanced was the important
crisis fur this country to act.
Lord RIPON said that the Americans themselves had a
Corn-law against the admission of Canadian wheat. •
Mr. BRIGHT—Yes ; and the carriers of that measure
quoted our example as a precedent. As we had set them
an example in a wrong direction, we could not do better
than set them right. -
Lord Riroal said it was not so clear that America had
a superabundance of corn. They had imported it from
England and France.
Mr. RawsoN—And %Ne complain that that scarcity is
the result of our restrictive laws, which tend to repress
American agriculture. •
Lord RiPox could not discuss the subject at length,
but might be permitted to say, that nothing but a con-
viction that it was for the benefit of this country that he
had been induced to support any Corn-law ; and it' any
one would convince him that ho was wrong, he would
abandon it.
Mr. GLADSTONE inquired whether there was no symp-
toms of any alleviation in, or improvement of trade ?
Alm Alderman CHArrEL said there was non© whatever
and, in corroboration, read two letters he had received
that morning from Manchester, from which it appeared
that both the existing distress and the depression of
trade nut only continued, but was greatly aggravated.
The Deputation then withdrew.

clothes, have been saVed. Of the latter the linen
portions are rotten, but the woolen, on the contrary
i (particularly the blue cloth) is in good preservation.
The most curious circumstance is the excellent
state of the works of three silver watcheS found
in the cabin, which it appears. after the inspection
Of a watchmaker, are capable of being repaired.
The remains of a man's body was discovered in the hold,
but the condition of which is not stated. Her bowsprit
is gone, and, from the damage to the bows, it is supposed
she must have been run into by a large vessel. She is
built of oak, and copper-fastened, and is represented to
be worth the expense of raising her.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—THE MURDER AT PECKHAM
RYE.—Last evening, at seven o'clock, this inquest, ad-
journed from Tuesday evening last, was resumed at St.
Thomas's Hospital, before W. Payne, Esq., the City
Coroner. The deceased, James White, was buried on
Friday last, in the burial ground belonging to the hospital.
Inspector CaMpbell. of the P division, produced a draw-
ing of the barn and the grounds adjoining. Two wit-
nesses then gave some additional evidence, but it was not
of any importance. The Coroner then read over the
whole of the evidence to the Jury, commenting on it as
he proceeded. 'The witness. Barnett was recalled, at
the request of one of the Jurors, and stated that he had
examined the clothes of Webb on the Wednesday morn-
ing, but could not discover any marks of blood upon
them. The Jury, after a lengthened deliberation, re-
turned a verdict of "Wilful murder against some person
or persons unknown, and that the evidence was not suf-
hnent to prove who that person is," Webb, who is now
in Horsemonger-lane gaol, will be re-examined at I.lnion
Hall this day.

LONDON_:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1842.

It afforded us great pleasure to read Lord BROUGHAM'S
able and temperate speech on the (lollieries Bill, de-
livered on - Monday evening. Nor, was our pleasure
diminished, by perceiving a coincidence in the views of
the Noble Lord, with those we have laid before the
readers of The Sung though expressed neither so cau-
tiously, so elegantly, nor so fully as. were the views of
the Noble and Learned Lord. Were our legislators to
be guided by half the discrimination the Noble Lord
inculcated on them most ably' and eloquently—were
they M. make themselves only tolerably well ac-
quainted with the feelings, habits, and wishes of the
working-classes, the Statute-book • would be far less
inewnbered than at present with worthless laws, and the
terri!)le chasm which now separates the classes would
scarcely exist. In truth, the eager zeal of the upper
classes to legislate for the colliers, comes from the sud-
denness with which the upper classes have become ac-
quainted, for the first time •in their lives, with
the condition of the collier population. They
are more alarmed by the strangeness of the
scenes, than by their actual inhumanity, and their law
is much more the offspring of their ignorance than of a
complete and mature knowledge. There are many other
occupations, probably, as full of hardship and suffering
as those of the colliers, with which their Lordships, from
haring heard of them before, have no desire to meddle.
For example, Lord BROUGHAM said :—,

With reference to the effect of trades on health, it was 'the
lot by which men lived, that they should earn their bread, not
only by the sweat of their brow, but by the wear and tear of
their constitutions. It was as lamentable as true, that many
employments there were which were not healthy any more than
easy, and he was almost afraid to think of the vast number of
instances in which the labouring classes were, and nanst be,
employed in trades which tended directly to injure the con-
stitution, and to shorten life. 'l he subject was a painful one,
but he was forced upon its consideration, not so much
by the particular measure before the House, as by measures
of a similar tendency, which he was sure would spring from
it, which he was sure were lurking in its wake. How many
trades were men engaged in, trades the effects of which para-
lysed the limbs, such trades as those in which paint and white
lead were used, or such trades as that of braziery, which
generated peculiar complaints, or . those trades in which
steel filings were used or produced, which gave rise to asth-
matic complaints. Again, let any man go amongst the
peasantry, and examine the difference between the peasant who
had passed his time in hard labour up to the time of, perhaps,
forty-five years of age, and the man of seventy, who had passed
his life iu the ordinary pursuits in which men of their Lord-
ships' station in society were generally engaged in. Let any
man compare the two ; he would put the man of forty-five or
fifty down for seventy years of age, and in the other case he
would be likely to fix the age of the man of seventy at from
forty-five to fifty years.
The Commissioners for inquiring into mines, how-
ever, have based one of their most effective appeals to
the Legislature on the effects of labour- in the collieries
in developing and distorting the frame, and on the early
period at which colliers become old men. But Lord
Ilitoucaram's remark that all hard-worked men, even
including the peasantry, are much Sooner old men than
the gentry, who are well fed and work very little, and
the colliers being one and all hard-worked men, shows at
once the error which has been produced in our eager
legislators by the partial and exaggerated Report
of the Commissioners, In the Report of the
Poor-law Commissioners for 1842, which is full
of valuable information concerning the influence of
the circumstances to which the labouring classes are
exposed on their health and mortality, to which we
,hall again speedily refer, it is stated of Derby, that
the average age of professional. ,persons or gentry is
forty-nine years, of tradesnen, thirty-eight., of labourers
and artizans, twenty-one ; of Rittland, that the average
age of the first is fifty-two, of the second forty-one, and
(tf the third thirty-eight ; and of Manchester, that the
average age of the first is thirty-eight, of the second
twenty, and of the third seventeen. Without now enter-
ing into the question of the eomparative mortality
of town and country, though, that is not settled
by such tables, unless the migration from one
district to the other be ascertained, we refer
to the uniform greater mortality-or shorter lives of the
labouring classes than the classes .of traders and gentle-
men, of which these are only specimens, as a complete
confirmation of the great principle laid down by Lord
BROUGHAM, and a full refutation of the implied state-
ment of the Commissioners that the colliers are shorter
lived than other overworked men. Let us add that while
a moderate portion of useful wealth-producing labour
would not shorten the lives of the ;entry, it might, by
lessening the excessive toil of' all the labouring classes,
add much to the average duration of their lives, and
much increase their health and happiness whilo they
lasted.

The various acoupations of colliers, glass-workers,
braziers, white lead manufacturers, &c., being admitted
to be necessary, Lord BROUGHAM disposed very ably
of the objection to setting young icOPPIo to learn them :
If it was admitted that the Legislature could not or should
not interfere in such cases, then he averred that a certain in-
ference followed, and which could not be escaped, and that
was, that to a certain degree comparatively young persons
must be allowed to enter into these employments. There
were many such employments which could not
learned unless young persons began r,t twelve Of
thirteen years of me to ini►iated into them.
Therefore these unwholesome trades, if they were to be ex-
ercised at all, must not only be exercised by men, but by
youths under the age of 21, or under the 'age of 17 or is.
This argument might be held to apply, to boys of ten years o i
age and upwards, but he believed that it ought not, and did

apply in children-of more tender
„years. Bill when they
„., rye cuter the ,-,7_iidance of natural and Humane feelings en-
terittg up O: this field of legislation, it was Very fit that they
shOuld look about them to ace how wide that field was, and
ho',V far they proposed to ad7ance into it. He would remind
their Lordships that they were making laws to control the
labouring classes of the community, and not intended to affect
the rich. They were rearing up a power to affect not the
strong but the weak, and let them take very good care not to
subject, themselves to the well-grounded imputation which had
been made against almost all legislators, in every age and in
every country, that they were very apt to forge fetters for the
weak, but only to cast a gossamer over the strong.
' Lord BROUGHAM'S contrast between the colliers send-
ing their children at an early period into the mines, and
other parents stunting the grdwth of their boys to fit
them to ride races fur the aristocracy, was done in his
happiest and most effective style. His allusion to women
sacrificing their own children in order to gain a little
money by nursing the children of the aristocracy, the
ladies of which frequently cannot, or will not, perform the
duties of a mother, was, however, still more effective
and searching.
Was there anything (Le said) more certain than that the
most wholesome nutriment a child could have was that with
which nature had furnished its mother?—was there any-
thing more certain than that by withdrawing their natural
nutriment, and thus entailing the absolute necessity
of bringing the chill up in a less wholesome manner
---:vas there anything more certain than that children,
for want of their mother's nursing, must often perish before
their time ?—was there anything more certain than that this
was an unnatural stopping in nature the duty of a mother to
suckle her own child ? But did he blame these poor women
who handed over their own infants to the care of a foster-
mother, in order to get advantageous places for themselves ?
Did he blame this? No, he lamented without blaming it; but
he could not close his eyes to the fearful extent of the evils
produced on the bodies and minds of children, and he would
add, on the minds and feelings of the mothers too, by that sys-
tem which was now so universally practised by parents among
the working-classes, of not suckling their own children, in
order to be employed in suckling the children of those in easy
circumstances, and especially in that rank of life to which their
lordships and the Members of the other House of Parliament
belonged.

Such home thrusts, by so polished a weapon as Lord
BROUGHAM'S language, must have made a deep impres-
sion on. their Lordships', understandings, and we hope,
also, on the understandings of the ladies of England,
who, we believe, take an active interest in collier women
and little trappers; and they may perhaps think that the
vast sacrifices required to provide jockeys and nurses for
them, are at least as proper objects of legislation as
women and childrea working in mines. The
public are under a great obligation to Lord
13notrazzAsz for his courage and manliness in
stemming the heady torrent of the suddenly swollen
humanity of the upper classes, and for the calm, dispas-
sionate, and able manner in which he compelled them to
triemselies." But we must not-omit to say that
for manliness and courage the Earl of RADNOR is the
equal of the Noble and Learned Lord, but wanting his
eloquence, the just sentiments he has snore than once
expreSsed on the Collieries Bill, have not been so effec-
tive as the admirable speech of Lord BROUGHA I.

The first Report of the Commissioners appointed by
Sir R. PEEL to inquire into the collection and manage-
ment of the revenue has been published. It relates ex-
clusively to the port of Liverpool, and discusses such
matters' as the employment .of tide-waiters, paying
officers by fees or salaries, and the exorbitant salary of
the collector, 2,9001. The Report may be interesting and
useful to the Treasury—it may not be without its charms
for the merchants and Custom-house officers of
Liverpool, but •it is of no importance as a State
document, and of little interest to the public. It
is altogether and exclusively an office paper
proper for the ' Treasury •to possess, and nothing
n.ore. It will not; however; disappoint the hopes of the
public, for so little was expected of the Commission,
that, till. the Report revived the recollection of such a
Commission having been appointed, it had entirely
slipped out of the public mind. Every one. of the Com-
missioners is a sub of the Government., and the Report is
little more than a statement made by the Treasury to the
Treasury. Perhaps it is more a striking example of an
easy mode of multiplying useless documents, putting the
public to a very unnecessary expense for printing and
paper, than of anything else. If the public is to pay so
largely for becoming acquainted with the Treasury se-
crets touching the arrangement of Custom-houses, they
might as well remain shrouded in mystery. The Trea-
sury might have acted on the Report, if it contain one
valuable suggestion—which we have not been fortunate
enough to discover—without printing it.

Yesterday the Earl of STANHOPE in the House of
Lorils threatened the Peers with a convulsion. Yester-
day Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in an interview with the Anti_
Corn-law Deputies, let fall a phrase which indicated
that he is alarmed for his cstate. For our Ministers to
hear such things, and express such apprehensions, is both
new and startling. That the danger is freely talked about
is, however, ono good guarantee that it will he warded
oil—in what manner, is the business of Ministers. They
have one and all assured the Anti. Corn-law Deputations
that the subject of the national distress has engaged the
' serious attention of the Cabinet.

OPENING of the BRIGHTON RAIL-
WAY STEAM-PACKET NV HILRF.
BRIGHT4N, JULY 26, 1842.—Yesterday a. party of
about fifty gentlemen, invited lay Mr. Dean, one of the
Superintendents of the Landau and Brighton Railway,
sent on board the General Steam Navigation Company's
packet Dart, after v,ho had landed her passengers from
Dieppe, a,c the Chain Pier ; and proceeded to Shoreham
Harbour, to celebrate the opening of the new Steam-
paelfe Wharf, erected by Ow Railway Company at their
terminus at Kingston% The vessel entered the western
arm of the liarloar, instead of the eastern as hitherto,
and niclOrPti alongside of the General Steam Navigation
Company's vessel- the Lord Melville, which had arrived
yesterday to start to-day on hov tirst voyage to Havre.
The gentlemen, after iweeting the excellent accom-
modation of the latter vessel, which has been newly
fitted up eirpres4y for this station, went on shore to
examine the arrangements at the new Wharf, which is
constructed in the most substantial and efficient manner,
and there. is the same depth of water alongside of the
Wharf as on the bar,
A place is fitted up for the examination of passengers'
luggage on the spot, so that within the shortest possible
space of time after the arrival of the packets, passengers
will proceed by a special train, which will he sent on the
packet's arrtx4l to convey them to the Brighton station ;
and 111%,e who proceed to London may do so by the first
train after the packet's arrival ; and passengers from
London may place themsely-es in the Railway Traie at
London-bridge., awl in less than three hours after em-
bark at the, \Villain smooth water. The improvements
in tlw harbour, and the accountle.clation afforded by the
Railway, offer advantages which only require to be
known to be appreciated,
After inspeet4 the improvements, the gentlemen sat
down to au excellent cold collation, laid out under an
awning on board the Dart, Mr. Deane in the Chair,
supported lay Mr, Catt, Mr. Folkard, and other infiueti-
li g geilOv.nwn, who drank success to the new
under-
taking, and the new station, besides many other toasts.

Thursday last, the day appoint6l for humiliation WI
prayer by the General Assembly, was generally observed
as a holiday by the citizens of Glasgow, and, as far as.
our knowledge reacnda, by the whole of Scozland. In
this city the shops and other places of business were
generally shut in the principal streets ; but throughota
the suburbs the reverse was the case, nearly all the stops
being open. Of course, public worship was celebrated
in all the Established churches; but the only Dissenting
churches open were those in connexion with the Re-
formed Presbyterian Synod. The attendance was, we
understand, generally very limited, and the worshippers
were chiefly composed of females. Never, we believe, in
the annals of Glasgow, did so large a proportion of her
inhabitants leave it in one day. -Every mode of convey-
anee was made available for the transference of the citi-
zens from the dust. and smoke of the city to the quiet and

every rural nook in our neighbourhood. It is not easy
to arrive at a very correct conclusion respecting the
numbers who on Thursday poured into the country ; but
some idea may, neyerthelesa, be formed if a glance is given
at the various public conveyances put in motion on the
weasien. From information communicated by the rail-
way officers, we learn that the number of pmengera
from Glasgow, , on the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Railway, amounted to 5,000 ; on the Ayr Railway,
3,300 ; to and from Paisley, 2,652 ; on the Graenovk
Railway, 3,035 ; there left the Bromielaw twenty-firc
river steamers, and, averaging the number in rech at
400, we have a total of 10,000 ; the persons who traN
yelled by canal we have not ascertained, but taking ince,
account the trips made, and the number conveyed on
each occasion, we may safely set them down at. 3,040
those who went by stage-coaches, gigs, carriages, and
other vehicles on the common road, can only be guessed
at • but we believe we are not above the mark, when,
including these, we put down the grand total of persons
leaving the city, by conveyances of every kind, at tip-
wards of 27,000. From all parts of Scotland, we have
received intelligence to the erect that the Past was is
reality kept as a holiday.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.
RACE-COURSE, TUESDAY AFTERNOilti.—That etor
is the first meeting of the kind in the kingdom, is., an esta-
blished fart that; no one who has had the evil of his eye.
will gainsay. Newmarket, Epsom, Ascot, and Doncaster,
each has its peculiar claim to papnlarity—the first as being the
" Lords and Com:nons " of the turf; the second in its Derby
and Oaks ; the next in its Sovereign and the Cup ; and the-
last in its St. Leger; each varying from the other, but ire
itself "great," as the term is generally used. But it is not front
one important race, or from one peculiar feature that Goodwood
derives its reputation, but from the combination of many—from
the extraordinary number and value of its two and three yrsold
stakes, its magnificent cup, its handicap, its profusion and
variety, of prizes, its excellent course, and the delightful scenes.,
by which it is approached and surrounded. The compa
wanting the single charm of Royalty, surpasses ali other ram:-
ings in rank and splendour, is generally large, and always, with.
out the annoyance of a mob. The arrangements, too. .are Con—
ceived in the best possible taste, and are carried out with a pre-
cision and completeness that leave nothing to be (I,4sired ; every-
thing, in short, is quiet, regular, business-like, and, at the same
time, in the highest degree enjoyable. This brief introductitsa
has been suggested by our experience of forinermeetings, and is
fully justified by the appearance of the list anti of the.race-
course at the present moment—the one is overflowing with
sport, and the other is graced by as elegant au assemblage vs;
we ever beheld at this highly favoured meeting. The weather
is brilliant, and the ementble a fruitful subject for description.
but the short space afforded us for making up and forwardilii.
our dispatch, warns us to refrain; for the like reason it is nn-.
possible to obtain a list of the arrivals at present —s,re

our next. Meanwhile we may state briefly that
Goodwood House is full of distinguished visitors,and gnat, with
the exception of Petworth, all the gentlemen's wets in the
neighbourhood are open to company.
In consequence of the number of events or decision, the
