ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE.

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Anti-Corn-law
Conference, held at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard yesterday morning,
P. A. Taylor, Esq., in the chair, the following resolution was
unanimously agreed to, via.:--
" That from the necessity which exists that the members of the
Executive Committee should return to their respective localities,
to assist in the various measures in progress to promote the total
and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, it is deemed
adviseable that this Committee should terminate its sittings as early
as possible ; and it is therefore agreed that, at the close of this meet-
ing, the Executive Committee do dissolve."
The thanks ofthe meeting were then voted to the Chairman, and
the Committee broke up.

The Earl of Macclesfield, who has for the last five

session of better health than for some weeks back. The Noble

WEDI'7i,SDAY, FEBRITARX 16, 1842.

In the Muse of Commons, last night, the public
were taught a remarkable lesson, which will not soon
he tbrgotten. A great landowner, Mr. ORMSBY GORE,
openly declared, though,' he man was so confused that
it was difficult to mike out what he meant, that the
present Bread-tax amounted to ss. 9d. per year on
every person. Every man, woman, and child, he said,
uoasumed a quarter of corn per annum ; the duty paid
on corn, -on an average, •he said, has been ss. 9d. per
quarter,—coniequently every person has paid, and pays,
ss. 9d, per year as a liread-tax. As Mr. WARD said,
the Corn-law is a Poll-tax to that amount.
The Poll-tax, according to Mr. ORMSBY GORE is only
about three-halfpence a week for each person, and he
ridiculed the idea of such a sum being of any importance
to the people, or the cause of their distress. It is
nothing, of course, to a landowner of 30,000/. per year,
but to the man who has to live on ss. a week, and has a
wife and family of six children—the case of many
weavers—it is something more than the sixth part of
his income. At present a great multitude of the people
are almost starving, and Mr. ORMSBY GORE, Sir R.
PEEL, and the landowners insist on retaining a law
which takes away one-sixth of their income to swell the
landlords' rent.

Let us suppose that Mr. ORMSBY GORE has 30,0001.
a-year ; ss. 9d. is about the tenth part of the average
price of wheat, and, consequently, the tenth part of the
landlords' income is raised by levying this tax of three-
halfpence per week on the bread of every poor man,
poor woman, and poor child of the empire. About
3,0001. a-year of this man's income, or a tenth of the in-
come of the landlords, is the produce of the Bread-tax;
and he and the rest of the landlords hare the astounding
impudence to stand up in the Legislature and insist on
making and maintaining a law which adds in this pro:
portion to their wealth, while it takes away one-sixth
of the income of many a starving family. Which
class can best spare this tax, we shall not even hint; but
if the landowners are lost to all sense of justice, let
them be charitable and generous, and fling back that
which Mr. ORMSBY GORE implied is a miserable
pittance, to the starving people.

The Tory press has frequently spoken of Mr. O'CoN-
NELL as the Big Beggarman, who takes a penny from the
serving man, and a half-penny from the labouring man,
and a farthing from the beggar. Mr. ORMSBY GORE,
says, that the income of the landlords is partly made up
by taking farthings from beggars, half-pence from
labourers, and pennies from those who have large fami-
lies. Between Mr. O'CONNELL, whom the Tory press
describes as completely disgraced by accepting for useful

A letter from RoMe, dated January 11, states that
the great "Feast of Tongues" which is annually held
on the Sunday after the festival of the Three Kings,
took place in that capital two days ago. If the " Feast
of Tongues" at Rome is not more edifying than the pre-
sent " Feast of Tongues" in the House of Commons, it
must be a very sorry affair !
An incidental discussion took place last night in the
House of Lords on the subject of turtle, and the duties
paid on it. In the course of this discussion, which
we have no doubt, will excite a lively interest at Guild-
hall, a Noble Lord observed that it was not yet decided,
whether a turtle was, or was not, a fish. In this state
of uncertainty on a question so important to all lovers of
ealipash and calipee, we should respectfully recommend
that the subject be referred to a Committee of the
Court of Aldermen, who will be sure • to give the best,
because the most practical and scientific, opinion upon
it. Even a reference to the Bench of Bishops would not

be amiss.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 15.
Their Lordships sat at ten o'clock this morning, for the first
time in the present Session, to hear appeals. The Lords present
were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and
Lord Campbell.

HORNE V. TUE EARL OF LAUDERDALE.
This case came before their Lordships, upon appeal, from the de-
cision of the Court of Session in Scotland. The principal question
in the case was whether certain lands in Scotland were disposed of,
subject to the payment of_ certain ministers' stipends. The Court
of Session decided that they were subject to such payments, and
from that decision the appellant, who was at present in possession
of the land, appealed to the House.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. JAMES IiCsSELL appeared on
behalf of the appellant, and Mr. PEMBERTON and Mr. ANDERSON
were Counsel for the respondent.

Mr. J. Russsu., in the absence of the Solicitor. General, who
was engaged in the Court of Exchequer, proceeded to address their
Lord hirs, and had not concluded when the Court rose.

ROLLS' COURT, Feb. 15.
His Lordship was engaged up to a late hour of the day in hear.
ing petitions any short causes, which were generally devoid of the
slightest interest.
London, England, 1842-02-16

PAR.ZIANIENTAILY.

In the Lords last night, after the Royal Assent had been given
to the Appropriation Bill, there was a little sharp skirmish on the
Corn.laws, on the presentation of petitions. Lord Radnor showed
(and this is a general opinion) that the addition made by Sir R.
Peel to the towns whence the averages ate collected will lower
them, some say ss. per quarter, and consequently raise the price
at which wheat is now imported, paying Is. duty, from 735. to 78s.
In the Commons, Sir William Rie endeavoured to exculpate
himself from a charge made against his veracity, by quoting a letter
from the Lord Justice Clerk in Edinburgh, but it was observed
that the return originally moved for, and which the colleagues of
the Learned Lord had refused, would have been his best excul-
pation.

The debate en the Corn-laws was renewed by Sir William Clay,
and terminated by an adjournment, after Captain Hamilton, Mr.
Ward, Mr. Labouchere, and several other Members had spoken, by
Sir James Graham at One o'Clock. The debate was heavy, but
many useful facts were brought forward. It will be renewed this
evening.

MELANCHOLY DEATH.

We regret to announce the untimely death of John
Dallas Edge, Esq., barrister-at-law, under the follow-
ing most painful circumstances :—The deceased gen-
tleman, who resided in Molesworth-street, had arrived
in town at five o'clock on Thursday afternoon, from
Castlecomer, county Kilkenny, the residence of his
father, and where he had been leaving his lady and
two children. At half-past seven o'clock the same
evening he, with his brother-in-law, William Maun-
sel, Esq., Jun., Grand Canal Harbour, and a young
gentleman, named M‘Mullen, were taking a walk by
the Canal side, when they met Mr. Thomas Hamil-
ton, of James-street, who owned a small boat then
lying in a pond, situate close to the canal, near the
South Dublin Workhouse, mid which served to supply
water to Mount Browne mills. They agreed to have
some rowing in the boat, but the latter lying far in
the water they sought to get it to the land by means
of a line having a hook attached to it. In throwing
this Mr. Hamilton happened to let the line slip from
his hand into the water. To recover it Mr. Maunsel
stripped, swam in, and having attached the hook to
the boat, he was returning with the line when his feet
became entangled in some weeds ; he was in danger
of being drowned, and called to his companions for
assistance. Mr. Edge, divesting himself of his coat
only, plunged into the pond, reached Mr. Maunsel,
and having pushed him towards the boat, so as to
extricate hint from his perilous situation, they both
took hold of the vessel on the same side. This caused
it to immediately upset, and deceased letting go his
hold, was swimming for the bank, when his feet were
caught in the same tuft of weeds from which he had
a moment previously rescued his friend, and before
aid could reach him, he sunk in about twelve or four-
teen feet of water, never more to rise in this life.
Mr. M'Mullen had, on perceiving his danger, 'thrown
himself into the water, and endeavoured, but inef-
fectively, to reach an oar over to him. Mr. Maunsel
had, in the mean time, held on by the keel of the ves-
sel, and by that means sustained himself till some per-
sons coming by succeeded in getting him to land.
Drags having been as soon as possible procured, Mr.
Edge's body was recovered in about three quarters of
an hour. Dr. Madden, of James's-street, with several

medical gentlemen from Stevens's hospital, were
quickly in attendance, and every effort of skill was
tried to restore animation, but in vain. The remains
were removed to the house of Mr. Maunsel, where
an inquest was held before Sir Nicholas W. Brady,
and a verdict of Accidental Death by Drowning was
returned.
The deceased was in the 34th year of his age. He
was Honorary Secretary to the Conservative Society
in Dawson-street, and filled the office of Seneschal of
Castlecomer.—Freeman's Journal.

The beauty of the scene, in the account given by
Captain Currie of his balloon ascent with Mr. Green,
from Dorset, on Friday, is said by him to have been
indescribable. The clouds below had the appearance
of an interminable ocean of snow. The balloon was
shadowed by reflection on the clouds, and both the
aeronauts were astonished to find it also surrounded
by a double halo, with all the prismatic colours of
two rainbows clearly defined.

LAW AND POLICE.

An action was tried at the Devizes Assizes on Fri-
day last, in, which Miss Rooke, the daughter of a
tradesman in Salisbury, aged 28, sought to recover
compensation in damages of Mr. Conway, a consider-
able merchant at Poole, aged 67, for a breach of pro-
mise of marriage. The defendant was a first-cousin
of the plaintiff, and a widower with a grown-up
family. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff
—damages one farthing.
Anne Baker, a respectable young woman, was
charged with having thrown a quantity of vitriol on
the dresses of two young females, by which their
shawls and silk dresses were quite damaged. The de-
fendant was ordered to pay 4/. 10s., the amount of
damage done, or •in default to be imprisoned two
months.

FINE ARTS.

We were favoured yesterday with a private view of
a full-length portrait of Lord Brougham, which, we
understand, has been painted for the Mechanics' in-
stitute at Newport, South Wales. 'The portrait is by
a young artist named Evans, and does great credit to
his skill and judgment. No one, for ari instant, can
mistake the likeness, for it gives, not merely the fea-
tures, but the general expression of his Lordship's
countenance. lie is represented standing near a co-
lumn, in an easy, graceful attitude, absorbed appa-
rently in thought; in the back ground we catch a
glimpse of the London University, of which Lord
Brougham, as is well known, was the projector, and
of which he has long been the firm and energetic
supporter. As a piece of colouring—to say nothing
of its merits as a likeness—the portrait exhibits much
promise, and is indeed one of the best we have lately
met with, of his Lordship.

EAST INDIA STEAM NAYt•
GATION.

The steamer India having performed her last voy-
age from Suez to Bombay against the height of the
monsoon, a circumstance unprecedented in the annals
of navigation, it may be interesting to compare a
statement of that steamer's performance on her last
two voyages, the first having been made in the fair
season, and the second against the strength of the
monsoon.

On her first voyage the India left Calculi. on the
10th of January last, and steamed to. Suez in 25 days
and 14 hours, running 4,849. miles or 1824 miles
per day, consuming 680 tuns of coal, or 7 6.110 lb.
per horse power per hour.'
On her second voyage she left Calcutta, 9th May,
and steamed in 34 days 4,658 miles against the wind,.
averaging 137 miles per day, and under sail four
days, total distance 5,089 miles, consuming 900 tons of
coals, or Thlb. per horse power per hour.
This result is most important, as showing that the
communication by steam can be kept up with the
eastern side of India at all seasons of the year. On
the first voyage the Calcutta letters reached London
in 46 days ; the second voyage her letters were de-
tained 24 days in Egypt waiting a conv6pc

lIAMBURGII, AUGUST I.—The town of Malinoe in
Sweden suffered, on the 3d of August. by a tire, in which
everal persons lost their lives, though it broke out at
two in the afternoon. It spread w;th inconceivable ra-
pidity, to which the thatched roofs and a timber yard
mainly contributed. Twenty-two houses m ere soon re•
duced to ashes,
.chiefly belonging to poor people, ivho
have lost their all, nothing being insured. Happily the
wind did not blow in the direction of the other part of
the town.

On Thursday at one o'clock, a great meeting of
Chartists was held in the Market-place, over which Mr.
J. Barber presided. Messrs. Sweet,' Meads, Clarke (of
Stockport), Roberts, mid Smith (of Mansfield), were
the speakers, and the fidlowing resolution was passed :
" TLat we shall look upon any individual who shall be
found committing.an illegal act as an enemy to our holy
cause, and as such shall hand such otfendieg parties over
to the authorities." The meeting was then adjourned to
seven o'clock.--Nuttingledm Review.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

SECONDARIES' COURT, Aug. 19.
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
WESTON V. LOWE.
Both plaintiff and defendant in this case were
salesmen in Smithfield-market, and the action was
brought to recover the amount of the loss which the
plaintiff had incurred by purchasing a cow from the
defendant, which turned out to have been unsound at
the time of the sale. The action has been depending
ever since 1838. The Jury found for the plaintiff.
Damages, 71. 15s.

PALACE COURT, Aug. 19.
HORNE V. TUCK.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is
and has been for some years an attendant on persons
of impaired intellect, to recover a sum of 121. 10s., for
attendance on the defendant.
Many witnesses were called on the part of the
plantiff, from which it appeared that the defendant, in
consequence of intemperate habits, was some-
time since obliged to be placed under restraint ;
tharon the advice of his medical men he was attended
by the plaintiff, and for that attendance he sought to
recover the above amount.

On the part bi' the defendant his daughter and the
nurse, who attended his children, were called, who
gave., testimony to the effect, that. the plaintiff was
veryseldom at the house of the defendant ; that when
he was there it was only to dine with them, and the
daughter positively swore that. she had never seen her
father intoxicated.

The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case,
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the
full amount claimed, 121. 10s.

mitay of the eases in the paper were undefended,
others eOmpromised, and the Court rose before one

o'clock.

BOLTON—POOR-LAWS.
Dr. 130 WRING rose to move for copies of communications
addressed from Bolton to the Home-office, during the late re-
cess, on the subject of Mr. Mott's Report. He had to call the
attention of the House to that Report, which was laid on the
table at the close of last Session. With reference to the borough
which he had the honour to represent, it created great
astonishment and great annoyance- astonishment that any in-
dividual delegated by her Majestys Government to inquire
into the existing state of things in that borough, and the
amount of disease which existed, there should have de-
clined to embody those facts in his Report; and
annoyance that that individual should have gone
r
out of his way, in order to attribute improper motives to gen-
tlemen of the meet honourable and upright principles, gentlemen
who had engaged themselves in ascertaining the state of
• which was existing in that borough. That officer
misery
d to her Majesty admitted
t()
statements had made statements which he (Dr. Bowring) would be able
disprove. The address present
frankly, fairly, and boldly, that the made upon that

(the Opposition) side of the House. as to the great extent of
misery exist
but were fearfully true. To that declaration the Right
Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, and theßight
Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Home Department, had fully
responded.—( Hear, hear.) They admitted that the distress
and misery existing in this country was of the most severe and
alarming character. He (Dr. Bowring) might
go e-Jen
further if it was necessary, and appeal to three gentlemen of
the highest respectability, who had lately visited the town
of Bolton ; he alluded to the Hon. Members for Newark, Sand •
with, and Canterbury, who had heard with their own ears the
tales of sorrow and of misery which existed in Bolton—( Hear
hear)—and he had
no doubt that if those Gentlemen were
called upon, they would come forward and fully substantiate
these statements. He had called the attention of the House
to three cases which were of a very peculiar nature, and which
he had selected out of a multitude of simiiar ones placed in his
hands, he was willing to own that these melancholy cases had
