SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 10._(From a Corre-
spondent. )—Sir Robert Peel's speech on the Corn-laws was
read in this town with astonishment and indignation. Tat
was scarcely imagined possible that a Prime ,i‘linister
could offer such a mockery of relief tQ the starving
people of this country, as that which is offered by Sir
Robert in his proposed trumpery alts anon of the sliding scale.
Numbers believed, from the ,-,nriwn loose and sliding political
character of the Prettier, that he would have thrown the landlords
overboard ; but it is now evident to the country, that he is bound
hand and foot to those greedy and heartless monopolists. The
opinion in this town is, that Sir Robert Peel and his party must
be defeated with overwhelming disgrace. The Southampton
people are fully prepared to renew their activity and
enthusiasm to obtain a repeal of the unholy and oppressive
bread-tax. A meeting of Corn-law repeaters is fixed for
Monday next, at Andrew?, extensive carriage bazaar. This
will be one of the largest meetings ever held in this town.
Two petitions, one signed by males, and the other by females,
will shortly be ready for presentation, signed by a vast mul-
titude of persons.
Last week an inquest was held at :Bromsgrove,
Worcestershire, on the body of henry Cartwright, aged five
years, a pauper in the workhouse. It appeared that the sur-
geon of the establishment had ordered the nurse to prepare a
bath containing a solution of the sulphuret of potash, for
curing the children of itch. Nineteen were immersed; the
consequence of which was that one died three days afterwards,
and four others were more or less affected. The Jury returned
a verdict accordingly, at the same time censuring the conduct of
the surgeon as 6, injudicious and negligent."
