could treble his business.—Olear, hear.) The , wages now
were not half what they were in 1825. In the town of Stroud
one-third of the shops were closed. Cottage property
had become utterly valueless, vast numbers of them were
untenanted.—( Hear, hear.) The poor-rates were increasing,
and everything was getting worse. Such was the state of the
far-famed golden vane:, and it, this state of things continued,
the most dreadful consequences would be the result. Since
the meeting of the present Conference, he had heard three
or four things proposed, which hitherto would only, be feasi-
ble in some parts of the country. Their highly-gifted secretary,
of whom Lord Brougham had said that he was the most
eloquent man in England, had proposed that they should
allow their furniture to be taken by the tax-ga.
therer. That might do very well in some parts, but
he thought it would not be palatable in others.
With respect to closing the manufactories, that proceeding
would fall on the country, and the different localities. That
would not do, for, he was convinced, that were the factories
once closed, many of them would never own again. Many
persons would he glad to close their factories. if he (Mr.
Lewis) could do so he would. He had heard one project from
a gentleman there that he did not think would result in good.
It would take twelve months to carry out, and they might be
all in their graves before that time.—( Hear, hear.) They
never could go through the winter.
A DELEGATE—a What is that project ?.
Mr. LEWIS —The gentleman read it from a paper ; it was
a great variety of practices combined in one. Another gen-
tleman was for going to the bar of the House of Commons and
demanding an interview. That was impossible. 'they well
knew how they were treated in February last. Then, with
respect to an interview with the Premier, they all saw with
what cold-blooded apathy they were received by him. They
could expect nothing from him. They received all that
was expected. He (Mr. Lewis) stood at his elbow
all the time, and he trembled so much that he
made him (Mr. Lewis) fancy he was an old man.—(Laughter )
He (Mr. Lewis) had heard ,a most splendid speech in the
House of Lords last evening, and he observed the listlessness with
which it was listened to. Many Bishops were there, amongst
whom was the Archbishop of Canterbury. There was nothing
to be derived from this or from the other House. They would
never do any thing until they (the Deputation) made common
cause with the Chartists.—( Great cheering.) The moment
they did that the Whigs and the Tories would join. They would
unite within seven days. They would then have their enemy
fairly before them. They would then obtain their object as
they did with respect to the Reform Bill.—( Hear, hear.) If
there had been two sections then, that question would never
have been carried. He doubted if the country was not worse
off now than before that measure. Without the Charter they
would do nothing; at all events, they ought to include the Ex-
tension of the Suffrage and Vote by Ballot. Now, his project
was to unite as early as possible. He thought that lecturers
ought to go round London, as the people in London were ex-
tremely ignorant on this subject. His project, also, was to send
for Mr. Sturge, to town, that they might at once create a union
which would bear all before , it.—( Hear, hear.) The whole
district was in the deepest distress.
Mr. DANIELS, of Marylebone, said some complaints had
been made respecting the metropolitan parishes not having
come forward to assist in the present movement. New he
could state that he had seen several persons at the
Conference besides himself from the parishes of Marylebone
and St. Pancras, and had endeavoured on several occasions
to obtain a hearing, in order to express their iconeurrence in
the objects of the League. He belonged to an Association in
Marylebone, which was formed by air. Sydney Smith, and
the object of which was to secure the Lees against the
injuries which were inflicted upon them by the drones.—
(Hear, heir). There is an altered state of things in this
country. Formerly it was the custom of Ministers to do all in
thAr power to promote the prosperity of trade; now they
knew the Government only as an instrument of exaction.—
(Hear, hear). They had heard much of the truck system.
Why, what were the Corn-laws but the great truck system,
whereby the landlord compelled the people to deal at his own
shop? A person in his parish, who was regarded as
a religious man, had said to him, that if there was not wheat
enough the people should seek other food, such as beans, peas,
and oats. He believed that if they did that they would soon
have an agricultural society endeavouring to prove the nu-
tritious property of the bark of trees.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
He would read to the meeting a statement, which would show
the increase of pauperism and distress in the parish of Mary-
lehone. (The Hon. Delega e then read the statement.)
Now what was all this for ? The farmers did not want pro-
tection. He knew many farmers, and their eyes were begin-
ning to be opened to the 'true state of the case.. They knew
that they did not need protection. Lord Leicester, Lord. Spe-
ncer, Lord Kinnaird, Lord Radnor, and other landowners,
had distinctly stated that they required no pro-
tection.—(Hear, hear.) Those who desired a repeal
of the Corn-laws, were desirous of holding out the right hand
of fellowship to the farmer. If they bore enmity to any, it
was only to those who increased the rent of the farmer for the
oppression of the country.—(Cheers.) There were many who
advocated for an extension of the suffrage.
(The meeting had not concluded when we went to press.)

THE NEW COINAGE.—The Bank of England yes-

and in new half-crowns, shillings, and sixpences, just received
from the Royal Mint. During the day the Rotunda and the
transfer offiees were filled by the holders of stock, and some
very extensive transfers were made. The Bank Directors have
very promptly attended to the great run there has been since
the proclamation of the 3d of_ June for silver, and have had a
considerable quantity struck Within the last week at the Royal
Mint, so as to supply the public demand not only in town but
in the country, to which a large amount of new half-crowns.

particularly to Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield,
