THE TENANT FARMER'S ADVOCATE.
It is abundantly manifest that the position of the agricul-
tural interest as a class Is undergoing, and must undergo, a great
change. In such change the relative position of " Landlord.and
Tenant" will form the most Important feature, and the establish-
ment of a sound system of " Tenants' Rights" will be a cardinal
point for " Tenant Farmers." For fourteen years THE MARK-
LANE EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL has
been the zealous and uncompromising advocate of the Tenants'
Rights, and with the conviction that the interests of the Tenantry
are vitally involved in the question, the columns of this journal will
be continuously devoted to its discussion and elucidation.
Published every Monday in time for post. May be had by order
of all Booksellers and Newsmen.

THE QUEEN or DENMARK, EDITED BY MRS. GORE
—The classifiers of literary productions will be rather puz-
zled what place to assign to one which has just been intro-
duced to the public by Mrs. Gore. We allude to " The Queen
of Denmark," a book, the most important events and cir-
cumstances of which are strictly historical, and which must
have been so designated, but for the links of fiction that neces-
sarily connect those scenes. It relates the brief career of the
lovely Caroline Matilda, youngest sisterof our George lll.,!con-
sort of Christian VII. of Denmark, and mother of the late
King Frederick VI., the causes of whose misfortunes, which
involved her in the fall of Struensee, the Minister, hurled
her from the throne, tore her from her children, and exiled her
for life from her adopted country, have never before been de-
tailed with such a convincing truthfulness, and such an un-
-1 pretending simplicity, as are infinitely more captivating than
1 the most ostentatious efforts of art._

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—The workmen

priated for the exhibition of implements, which branch of the
institution increases every
year in importance. The judges
will make their awards on Tuesday, prior to which all the
stock and implements must be deposited. The general meet-
ing of the club will take 'place on Thursday, when the prin-
cipal business will be the election of a president, in the room
of the late Right Hon. Earl Spencer, who, it is understood,
will be succeeded by the Duke of Richmond.

FREE TRADE MEETING.

GLOUCESTER, Disc. 2.—A public meeting of the inhabitants
of the cityjof Gloucester and its vicinity was held in the Shire-
hall last night, "for the purpose of considering what mea-
sures should be adopted to obtain the abolition of the corn
and provision laws." There were about 800 persons present,
including 70 or 80 ladies, who were seated in what is called
the " orchestra."

The MAYoa (Mr. Hughes) was unanimously voted to the
chair, on taking which he observed, that a difference of
opinion prevailed amongst parties upon the subject which
was to be discussed that night ; some wished the total aboli-
tion of the corn-laws, others for a continuance of the present
system, and others again for a small fixed duty. It appeared
to him that the majority of the community desired the total
repeal of the corn-laws; but he hoped a fair hearing would
be given, should any gentleman stand forth to advocate a dif-
ferent opinion.—(Hear, hear,)
Letters were read from Captain M. F. F. Berkeley and Mr.
Phillpotts, the Members for the city, excusing their absence
from the meeting on the ground of having pre-engagements,
but, at the same time, expressing their desire to co-operate
with their constituents and others in order to obtain the re-
peal of the corn-laws.
Mr. BOWLET, a member of the Society of Friends, proposed
the first resolution
" That this meeting participates in the feeling of deep re-
sponsibility which, under the alarming circumstances of the
country as to an inadequate supply of provisions, devolves
upon every member of the community to do all he can to re-
move, as speedily as possible, all restrictions upon the impor-
tation of food for the people ; and, considering that increas-
ing the number of voters was one of the most effective means
for the accomplishment of that important object, earnestly
recommends the Anti-Corn-law Association of the city of
Gloucester and its neighbourhood to attend to the qualifica-
tion of voters for the city, and the surrounding districts
within the eastern division of the county."
He said, he moved the resolution with great pleasure, because
lie considered taxes upon food to be the worst of all taxes.
They were taxes which pressed most heavily upon those who
were the least able to pay them: On examining his house-
hold expenses, he found that they amounted to only one-
fortieth part of his expenditure, while the hard-working
people of this country paid one-half or more of
their small pittance in the shape of such taxation. So
that they were, in fact, taxes upon the poor to fill the
pockets of the rich. It was on this ground that he had re-
fused to join in getting up a meeting to protest against
the income-tax, which, because it came near to a property-
tax, he would rather see levied than a bread-tax. He denied
that the repeal of the corn-laws would injure the agricultural
interest. As a proof of his sincerity in respect to that opinion,
he had recently laid out 3,0001. in land, and he had ex-
pended more money upon its cultivation than had been so
expended for many years before. Argument upon this
question was pretty well given up in the House of Commons,
and their two friends, Cobdee and Bright, had it all their
own way.—(Cheers.) But there was a great force arrayed
against them—the power of influence and of the pocket.
The only way to meet that force was to purchase freeholds
and extend the elective franchise among the corn-law re-
peelers, so as to secure the return of men who would repre-
sent their opinions in Parliament.--(Hear, hear.)
Mr. T. M. STURGE (another " Friend"), in seconding the
resolution, declared it to be his opinion that the present
system of averages not only prevented the people from ob-
taining a proper supply of corn, but that it was also injurious
to the farmers themselves; and argued that the League
ought not to be censured for trying to increase the number
of corn-law repealers on the election registers, for they were
only taking a leaf out of the book of Sir R. Peel, who, at the
close of one of his speeches, emphatically exclaimed, " Re-
gister ! register ! register !"—(Cheers.)
Mr. COBDEN, M.P., said, it seemed .to him, that go where
he would, the same wide-spreading and enthusiastic interest
was felt upon the question in hand. He had been recently
attending meetings in Lancashire and Yorkshire almost every
night, and amongst the tall chimnies and smoky factories of
those localities, it was natural that the people should be
strongly interested in a free-trade question. But the same
appeared to be the case in the cotton districts and under the
shadows of the cathedrals of Gloucester and Bristol.—(Hear,
hear, and a laugh.) ft was therefore no sectarian or selfish
questions-( Hear, hear.) The large and intelligent audience
ke was addressing did not consider that the repeal of the
corn-laws would throw land out of cultivation, rob farmers
of their capital, or deprive the labourers of employment.—
(Hear, hear.) The interest the audience felt in the question
was a contradiction to all the false statements which were
put f irth upon it. He confessed himself unable to find
anything new to say about it. The fact was, the question
was settled, and the only meeting they ought to anticipate
was one grand assembly to rejoice at the downfal
and extinction of the present corn-law system.—(Loud
cheers.) He was anxious, however, to have it understood
that the triumph they were to win could not be that of one
class over another.—( Hear.) There had been heartburninga
enough about one class being favoured at the expense of
another. The repeal of The corn-laws would be a benefit to all
classes.—(Cheers.) He could not except that repeal on any
other terms ; he would net accept it as an injury done to the
farmers or as a bonus to the manufacturers.—(Hear, hear.)
But if any one, either in the House of Commons or out of it,
could show that the maintenance of the corn-laws was bene-
ficial to the farmers, he would give up his point. Where
were the men who, two years ago, raised an outcry in that
city against the League?—(Hear.) The protectionists of
Gloucester knew that the corn- laws were to be abolished.—
(Hear.) Every mail and every post announced the news.
Two years ago the 'protectionists told them, "If you allow
the corn-laws to be abolished, you will be able to pay no
rent." Well, if that were true, in what a predicament would
the rent-rolls of those gentlemen be placed !—(Hear, and
la agteeri) „Me, Jiroteaticalimm 'lieu: sat Dloucestershikeshad
they would not be able to compete with foreigners, even
if they had their lands rent free.—(Hear, hear.) Well,
then, those squires were in a perfect mess ; for the corn-
laws were going to be abolished.(Cheers and laughter.)
Those gentry knew it; and :if they were wise—
but most of them had not sense enough for anything—they
would call the farmers together and say,—" Gentlemen,
don't you think it is just possible we have been mistaken?
After all, may not that Cobden be right? He told us that
we could compete with foreigners in corn as well as in flax
and other articles."—(Hear, hear.) He should not be sur-
prised if in less than six months he found himself quoted by
those very gentlemen. In fact, he did not see how they could
get a farthing of rent, unless they came to him and took his
advice.—(A laugh.) The Duke of Richmond, who stood at
the head of this choice squad, once said, " Should the corn-
laws be abolished, I will bring in a Bill to:cancel all existing
leases, and make fresh ones, in order that the farmers may
have their farms at reduced rents." He (Mr. Cobden) would
take care to remind the Noble Duke of his words.—( Cheers
and laughter.) Those protectionists were the men who had
been leading by the nose the farmers, many of whom, judging
by their tanned faces, he thought he saw before him. The
protectionist landlords might get as good rent out of their
lands without the corn-laws as with them. For himself, he
would rather take a lease of 21 years, if he knew that the
existing laws were to be abolished to-morrow, than if they
were to be continued the whole of that term. But the
question of rent could not be settled by the landlords.
There was a statesman of sufficient standing ready to do their
work in the Legislature, and he was a great gain indeed.—
(Cheers.) But let thOrn recollect that Lord J. Russell had
said they were not to depend on him for the carrying of this
measure, for that it could only be carried by an unequivocal
demonstration of the will of the people.—(Hear, hear.) It
rested with the people of England to do the work. The more
they wrapped themselves up in a sense of false security, the
more they trusted to this or that man to accomplish the end
in view, the less likely were they to succeed.—(Hear, hear.)
The people in the north of England did not intend to depend
on any man, but to carry this measure themselves ; and,
judging from the present meeting, he had no doubt that at
the fitting time Gloucester would be as ready as Manchester
and other places to take its part in the struggle. Let those
who charged the League with wishing for low wages and
worse food for the working classes know that they abhorred
such wishes. They desired to seethe peoplesupplied with good
wheaten bread, and beef, and bacon, and pork, and to that
end there must be more provisions furnished to the eaters,
and if there was not enough at home, let it come in from abroad.
At Manchester, one of the largest meetings ever held there
resolved to support Sir R. Peel if he would open the ports;
and that was the general feeling throughout all England.
Lord John Russell, in his magnanimous letter, said he would
support Sir Robert in that measure. Nobody could blame
him for passing it; it would strengthen his hands. But his
responsibility would be immensely increased if he did not
adopt that measure.—( Hear, hear.) Every meeting such as
the present, in which such a sentiment met a cordial response,
proved that if Sir R. Peel had followed the example of the
Continental Powers, which he ought long ago to have fol-
lowed, he would now be in possession of the unanimous
support of the country.—(Hear.) If he did not do it, why
then—(a pause)—he would be a fallen man.—(Loud cheers.)
As a Lancashire man, he was sorry for it; for he used to
think Sir Robert had more "pluck."—(Laughter.) He
bad always said that the proper time for the repeal
of the corn -laws was one of low prices, and he had told
Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons last session
that he was a rash man if he allowed Parliament to
separate without repealing the corn-laws.—(Hear, hear,
and cheers.) Sir Robert had called those rash men a year
ago who proposed theirrepeal ; but still he told Sir Robert last
June, in the debate on Mr. Villiers's motion,—" Now is the
time, when wheat is from 40s. to 465. a quarter, to repeal
the corn-laws, and if you allow the session to pass without
repealing them you. are the rash men, and we are the
cautious men, who want ,to abolish this system while prices
are low."—(Renewed cheering.) But those who knew the
aristocracy best were of opinion that these restrictions upon
the importation of food would never be got rid of except in
a time of scarcity or 'famine. That seemed to be probable.
It appeared that during the next twelve months there would
be greater scarcity than ever; and it was very likely that
these corn-laws would be torn from the statute-book amid
the excitement of an infuriated, because a starving popu-
lation.—(Loud cheers.) Had the corn-laws been abolished
before, we should not now have felt any alarm at the failure
of the potato crop; for there was always an abundant stock
on hand of all other articles in which the trade was free,
such as cotton, silk, spices, and indigo. He charged on those
who maintained the existing corn-laws the responsibility of
so doing. He said, with Mr. O'Connell in Ireland, "If you
have the people perishing for want of food next spring, those
who maintained the sliding-scale, and refused by an Order in
Council to do what foreign nations have done, are responsible
for all the misery and loss of life that may ensue."—(Hear.)
How was it that Sir R. Peel in England did not act as
humanely and with the same common sense as the Dutch,
Belgian, and Russian Governments? Because he felt himself
responsible, not to the Queen, not to the people, but to an
oligarchy of landlords, who -placed him in power, and who
had kept him there so long.—(Cheers.) He was not malign-
ing them. The Duke of Richmond had said the same thing.
At Steyning he said, " We, who made him Pi ime Minister, if
he does not do our bidding, will unmake him." That ac-
counts for the people of England being treated worse than
the people of Holland, Belgium, or Russia.—(Hear, hear.)
The Prime Minister of this country was a tool, a mannikin
in the hands of the Dukes of Richmond, Buckingham, and
Co, who pulled the wires, and did what Russia, Beigtu!n' a
Holland durst not, because they were shielded by
constitu-
tional form of government, and were supported b;
the votes
of men who were called the representatives of the people, but f
who counteracted the votes of such inea as the lilemhers or
the city of Gloucester.—(Hear, lar.) In conclusion, he
urged his auditors to purchase freeholds,4oTin order to
enable them to return county members who ould support
the repeal of the corn-laws,. and prevent their city members
and the voice of the constituency from being neutralised.
Let them do that,
and the next time they met it would be
only to raise a hearty cheer of three-times-three at the

downfall of that odious and selfish system of monopoly, the
present corn-laws.— (Continued cheering.)
Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., expressed his delight at the aspect of
the present meeting, convinced as he was of the importance
of the question under consideration to Gloucester, as well as
to Manchester and the other cities and towns of England. It
was a question of justice to every class of the people of Eng-
land, or he should not have taken, or now take, a prominent
part in the discussion of it. He believed it would be univer-
sally acknowledged very shortly that this was not a question
for the mill:and the shop more than for the farm. It would
be admitted as a truth that the laws by which a country
was governed ought to be just and impartial, and especially
guarded against inflicting any injury upon the great mass of
the population. He and his friend claimed to themselves
the title of the advocates of a measure which had for its
object the doing of justice to all classes, without doing injury
to any one; and they were there that night for the purpose
of denouncing the principle of protection or monopoly, whe-
ther applied to corn or any trade, or interest, or branch of
industry in the kingdom. The Honourable Gentleman
concluded a lengthened address by urging those who could
get 401. or 501. together to purchase 409. freeholds and get
county votes. They could not be governed by men who
were ignorant of their wants and claims, and therefore they
must seek to be properly represented in Parliament. Let
them arm themselves to the battle with those weapons that
the constitution, Christianity, morality, and humanity fur-
nished; and they might rely upon it that before long the
hideous mischief called the corn-laws would be driven into
oblivion.—(Cheers.)
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. TitorrEn proposed another, to the effect—
" That this meeting has heard with the greatest satisfac-
tion the declarations of Lord J. Russell and Lord Morpeth in
favour of the total abolition of the corn-law, as a most deci-
sive proof of the progress of free-trade opinions, and a great
encouragement to the electors to endeavour to return two
free-trade Members for the eastern division of Gloucester-
shire."

Alderman WASTIBOURN seconded the resolution, which was
unanimously adopted.
t A vote of thanks to the city Members, and one also to the
Mayor, were agreed to, and the proceedings terminated at
ten o'clock.

OPENING OF THE PORTS.
PUBLIC MEETING IN LAMBETH. _ _

Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth was
held at the Vestry-hall, Church-street, to take into con-
sideration the deficiency of the harvest and failure of the po-
tato crop in many parts of the United Kingdom, particularly
Ireland ; and to come to such resolutions thereon as might be
deemed expedient.
T. W. Nuorr, Esq., churchwarden, took the chair, and
opened the business by adverting to e present state of the
country with respect to food, and the necessity for some ener-
getic measures for the relief of the people.

- Mr. SEWELL moved tho first resolution :
" That the meeting views with feelings of alarm the defi-
ciency of the last harvest, and general failure of the potato
crop in Great Britain and Ireland, and therefore deem it to
be the imperative duty of her Majesty's Government to open
the ports immediately for the admission of human food,
exempt from all duties., '
C. LvAlis, Esq., said he did not think the resolution went
far enough. He thought if ever men deserved censure it
was her Majesty's Ministers, and it was the duty of the
people to petition her Majesty for their removal, in order
that some more honest men might take their places. He
intended to move a resolution of a stronger character, but
he did not object to second the proposition then before the
meeting.
Mr. FALL said it was necessary that a resolution should
be adopted, calling on her Majesty to dismiss her present
Ministers. Why did not Sir Robert Peel do his duty ? The
country was suffering under the corn-laws. Men were
taking corn out of bond in this country, and carrying it to
foreign ports, where it was admitted without payment of
duties. He did not doubt but some of the:same grain
would be brought back again, and imported for the use of
the people at an enormous price, when the demand for
food became more pressing. The Government, instead of
opening the ports, had sent some scientific men to Ireland,
who had reported .that the potatoes were diseased. Then,
by way of remedy, the people were told to get a tub,
and scrape and rasp the potatoes.—(Laughtejr.) At last
they got Professor Buckland to look after the thing,
and that learned person found out, with great sagacity,
that beetroot and turnips were good enough for the
poor, instead of potatoes. If the professor bad said to
the Government—" Be good enough to throw in a
leg of mutton with the turnips," the people might have
thanked him. Then Sir Robert Peel was an advocate for
railways—there was to be a post-office at Tamwerth, and
the Right Hon. Baronet had opened the ground for the rail-
way, keeping the spade in his apartments to satisfy the cu-
riosity of his friends. Lord John Russell came next. What
had they to thank that Noble Lord for? They should not
forget that he was the father of the poor-law. They had a
score against him for that. The Noble Lord once said he
would ever support the landed interest; and at the present
day he came forward to say he had been twenty years chang-
ing his opinion on the corn-law.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. C. EVANS then moved—
" That this meeting is of opinion that her Majesty's Mi-
nisters have neglected their public duty in not opening the
ports for the admission of corn ; that they have thereby lost
1 the confidence of the country, and that a memorial be pre-
-1 sented to her Majesty, praying that she will dismiss her
present advisers, and call to her councils men who are pre-
pared to act on the economic principles admitted by all par-
ties, and by allowing all kinds of food to be imported free of
duty, promote the welfare of the country."
Mr. WILSON seconded the resolution. At the present time
Peel, 'for reasons best: known' td- nllifsefrivt-tiselerfoCiirry
out his own proposition. He did hope her Majesty would
dismiss her present Ministers, and take men with more
honesty of purpose.
Mr. O'GRADY opposed the resolution. He did not see
what they would gain by displacing Sir Robert Peel.
Who would they find to succeed him? Would they have
the Whigs?
A VOICE in the meeting—There are no Whigs now in
existence.
Mr. O'GRADY continued—Sir Robert Peel was squeezeable.
They had squeezed something out of him, but from the Whigs
they could get nothing.
A committee was nominated to draw up the memorial, and
the meeting separated.

PUBLIC MEETING IN NOTTINGHAM.
A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town took
place on Monday last, at the Exchange-rooms, to memorialise
the Government, in the present alarming state of affairs, to
open the ports.
The meeting was called for eleven in the forenoon, and
soon after that hour the room was crowded, and on the plat-
form we observed Thomas Herbert, Esq., Mayor ; Rev. W.
Mills, Rev. S. Jones, Rev. Wm. Linwood, Rev. Jos. Gilbert,
Rev. James Edwards, Rev. B. Carpenter, and Messrs. G.
Gill, Felkin, Bean, Hill, Wilson, Rideout, Cripps, Cooper,
Roberts, jun, J. Bradley, T. Knight, W. Enfield, Wm. Hol-
lins (Pleasley Works), llis (Mansfield), N. Hurst, jun.,
Allen, Roper, Whelby, &c.
The Mayor (Thos. HERBERT. Esq.), on the motion of Mr.
Bean, seconded by Mr. Felkin, was unanimously called to
the chair, and on opening the business, after apologising
for the weakness of his voice, expressed his hearty concur-
rence with the object for which the meeting had been con-
vened, and he, therefore, on the requisition being pre-
sented, had no hesitation in calling his fellow- townsmen
together.—(Applause.) It was not only in reference to the
present exigency, arising from the failure of the potato crop,
and a deficiency in the harvest, that he wished the ports to
be opened, but upon a general principle, and he hoped they
would be opened never to be closed again.—(Applause.)
Under existing circumstances, he was convinced, unless some
resourse was opened, the people of this country might look
forward with care and anxiety; but he would not enlarge,
as other gentlemen were ready to speak at length upoa the
F übject.—(Applause.)
Mr. WHITBY, after an excellent speech, moved the follow-
ing resolution :
" That the deficiency of the harvest and the serious injury
to the potato crops, have deservedly produced the utmost
apprehension amongst all classes of the community, and that
our circumstances in particular require the instant free ad-
mission of corn and other articles of food into the ports of the
United Kingdom."
The motion being put was carried unanimously, with loud
applause and clapping of bands.
Mr. Thomas ROPER, a working man, then moved that an
address be presented to our gracious and beloved Queen ; and
in his speech he referred to his recollections concerning the
state of trade before the corn-laws were enacted ; the remon-
strances that were made, and in which he took a part at the
time they were under consideration; and the circumstances
of the corn-laws being passed at the mouth of the cannon.
At that time the President of America (Jeffersen) wished
that their corn and provisions should be sent to this country ;
and in Congress it was said, if the corn-laws were passed
here, the people of America would manufacture for themselves
there. They have become manufacturers, and our rivals.
He then moved the following address :
" To Sir Robert Peel, Bart., First Lord of her Majesty's

Treasury.
" The Memorial of the inhabitants of the borough of
Nottingham
" Showeth,—That your memorialists contemplate with
deep interest the fearful augmentation of the existing die-
tress with ',which the people of the United Kingdom are
threatened, in consequence of the deficiency of the late

harvest.
"That by the restriction on the importation of grain and
other articles of subsistence, not only do a considerable por-
tion of the community suffer from the want of sufficient sup-
port, but the home trade is seriously depressed, the people
having to expend in food what they would otherwise pay for
clothing, fuel, furniture, and for better places of habitation,
and that experience has shown that an abundant and cheap
supply of the first necessaries of life has been attended with
increased employment and a higher rate of wages.
" That your memorialists feel assured that a free

PUBLIC MEETING IX LEITH.
A public meeting, called by requisition, was held in
Trinity House, Leith, on Monday afternoon._ Provost
Ilutchieon was called to' the chair. He was supported by
great proportion of the magistrates and council, by several
of the more influential inhabitants; and by the representa-
tive of the burgh, Andrew Rutherfurd, Esq.
The PROVOST stated that he had great pleasure in calling
the meeting, and hoped that the expression of feeling which
had been manifested so generally throughout the country,
would lead her Majesty's Ministers to throw open the ports
I for the admission of foreign grain at this momentous crisis.
GEORGE BERRY, Esq., Chairman of the Leith Chamber of
Commerce, moved the first resolution, which was seconded
by the Rev. Dr. Harper, of Leith, one of the professors of
the United Secession Church. It was as follows—" That
1 this meeting is convinced that the country is now threatened
by a scarcity of the necessary food of tha people, which,
i without wise and energetic measures, must rem* 114 ?ma-
i tion and great suffering of the people."
