NATIONAL DISTRESS_ MEETING
OF DEPUTIES IN LONDON.
The daily increasmg sufferings of the people, the har-
rowing details of which are given in every page of our
present number, cannot much longer be left without a
remedy. Parliament is dragging on apparently in utter
forgetfulness that multitudes are perishing for want of
food. The Premier has already hinted at a prorogation.
This must nut be allowed without another, and a stre-
nuous effort to bring the Legislature to a sense of its
duty. What is to be done ? The Council of the League
have resolved upon calliuo a Sp..ial General Meeting of
Deputies, to be held in London immediately. The day
fixed upon is Monday, the 27th June—the place of meet-
ing, Brown's Hotel, Palace yard.
To this step we have been urged, not only by the
necessity of the case, but by numerous and pressing
communications from our friends in all parts of the
country. We, therefore, earnestly entreat all the Anti-
Corn-law Associations, and every friend of free trade
throughout the king4ei to be prompt and energetic in
rendering their supp<irt.,..p, phi i movement, and in ap-
pointing deputies to the meeting. The canntry.cannot
brook the delay of eight.. montlik. which --mist elapse
before another session of the fegkippre. The question
of free trade in food must—shall be rg!opened .:before
Parliament separates. The peace of thc-pountry go,
quires it. The lives and interests of millionklare trenib-,
ling in the balance—it is fur our friends to say. which
way the beam shall incline.—Anti-Bread Tax Gimular.

TRUE BLUE.—Our contemporary, the Journal, said,
44 The election will, in all probability, take place next week,
and as we have no doubt of Mr. Walter's triumphant return,
we have made arrangements for printing that number of 'eur
Journal with BLUE ink." The writ will not be issued at pre-
sent. The Witnesses' Indemnity Bill is passed, and the Parlia-
mentary committee of inquiry will now, we suppose, call the
parties before them ; the bond, the consideration, the terms on
which the representation of the town was attempted to be sold,
will now see day light, and we shall rejoice in the exposure.
The Journal's BLUE ink will, we verily believe, be dried up
before he has the opportunity of using it to celebrate Mr. Wal-
ter's return for Nottingham, and whenever,tthe election takes
place tie Journal will look blue enough, without blue ink, or
we are greatly mistaken. The feeling in favour of Mr. Sturge,
both in the town and the country villages, is highly satisfactory.
