GLOBE.—The Anti-Corn-law League held a
meeting on Thursday at Manchester, when Mr.
Cobden made a very powerful and effective.
speech in favour of" total and immediate repeal;''
for which it seems the League are determined
to use the utmost energy in contending. The • •
confidence which is shown by the Corn-law Re-
pealers in the justice of their cause affords the
best ground for anticipating their ultimate
success. They appear anxious to impress
others with the truths of which they are them-
selves convinced ; feeling assured that the
principles they hold, when once fairly brought
before the public, cannot fail to be recognised.
There is no doubt that,feeling as they do thejustice
of their cause, the Anti-Corn-law parry will
succeed in bringing cony-Juju:: to the minds of
others. It needhardly he said, that if the people
once fairly determine on the necessity for total
repeal, there will be no possibility of withholding.
it. As Mr. Cobden well observed, the House of -
Commons "answers to the changes in public
opinion as sensitively, and almost as instantly, as
the vessel on the ocean answers to its helm."
But it must he the opinion of the public in
its widest sense, and not the conviction of a
party, however numerous and respectable, that
will guide the conduct of the people's repre-
sentatives. It is for this reason that Mr. Cob-
den is desirous of making that which is the
opinion of those who have, without prejudice
weighed the subject, the opinion of the nation
at large. When this result is achieved, he
knows that his cause must triumph. He has
faith in the excellence of the arguments to be
adduced ,in favour of repeal, and for this reason
he recommends " publishing them in news-
papers, and stitching them in magazines mouth
after month, in order that the people may be
tempted and forced to read them. If they were
ftllacies that he thus proposes to disseminate,
they. would never work their way to the convic-
tions of the people; hut knowing them to be
truths, he will not be deceived in the hope that
the greater the energy shown in circulating
them through the country, the sooner will the
tune arrive for their being adopted and acted on.
STANDARD.—From the intelligence brought
by the Overland Mail, it seems to be certain
that Lady Sale and her fellow-prisoners are not
merely well, but kindly treated. They are
placed in a fortress of considerable extent, at a
distance or four or five miles of Caubul, and in
addition to the full liberty of the whole circuit
of this fortress, they are permitted to make
excursions at pleasure in the neighbourhood, and •
to the city, while all their comforts are amply .7
provided for. What adds infinitely to the grad"
fication which these facts afford, is the knowledge
that the kind treatment of the prisoners is iv.
effect of a tyrant's caprice, or policy, but the re.
suit of a necessity on his part. The people and
the chiefs, upon whom he is dependent fer
every hour of life, feel the true nature, -
of their position—feel that they are utterly
capable of offering any resistance to the
proaching British army : they thus regao.-the'
prisoners as hostages, and as indeedt,the.tinlY
security for their safety, and therefore: it is that
they compel Akbar Khan to thPviolence to his
savage nature, and treat his'captives with hu-
manity. Already it appearS that the prisoners
are treated by the m* -:of the people as medi'
ators, and expecteC-protectors. Akbar Khan.
himself appearsl'6'be placed in circumstances et
the greatest ditficulty. Lately he was left without
a singlestipporter among all the associated chiefs,
and compelled to stoop to become the vizier of tt
descendant of Shah Soojah (the rival of his
father), whom he has proclaimed King, ill
order to retain either the substance or the
j
semblance of power. Generals Sale and
Pollock will know how to avail themselveS
of such a state of affairs, and it is not improbable
that the march to Caubul, the recovery of the -
prisoners, and an honourable peace, may be.
effected without another shot fired. It does Ile' •
diminish this probability, on the other hand
greatly augments it, that the military operatioes
against Caubul are proceeding upon a scale an.,
with a firmness to ensure success against. aq
possible amount of resistance. General_Notts
force in Candahar (the western army) are es"
cuating that province (probably finally), but by.
an advance, and not by a retrograde inovemell,t....:
this force is marchiug upon Caubul from tee
south and west, while, on the other side,
nerals Sale and Pollock are making active Pre,;,:i,,
parations to meet their gallant countrymen st)-
fellow-soldiers at that city. We have alreak,:h-1
spoken of the moral effect produced upon the
habitants and the neighbouring chiefs b3r---a
knowledge of these movements. -'•
