LAWS;
The Right Hon. the WED MAYOR, in the Chair;

Moved by Taos. Witbsit, Esq. M.P. seconded by G. G. Ds IL
Lauren:, Es+
Resolved, wkh one dissentient voice, That a high price et ' . '
relatively to other countries, is an evil of great magnitude,
privations on the bulk of the community, reducing the general ,
of profit, retarding the accumulation of wealth, and tending to al*
capital abroad; and that the km arising to the public from oak:
high price is not compensated by corresponding advantages accruing
to soy class of society.
Moved by Tomas Town, Rag. seconded by W. Maim, IL+ •
coos
'Resolved unanimously, That great fluctuations in the prised
thekeeessarks of life are in ail cases highly injurious; the extrUkii
elevation inflicting severe suffering on the public as coos
while the extreme of depression is ruinous to the producers; .
that in the case of this country, such sadden transitions are .
Illoy a great disturbance of the currency, derangement of .j
a.mens, unsettling the wagetof labour, and producing vision
in the value of every species of property; that, although
in the price o f corn la some extent are inetititde, Imes
the iiikirslitedes of the seasossOhe range of variation trent that
caw AMU 0 being greatly . narrowed by having the seeress of
apliy "'mad over a wide space, embracing a great variety of soil
nd-c mato; that the restrictions imposed by the present Corn
Laws, by confining our supply to the produce of drib country, es-
oept in periods of great emergency, have tended. to aggravate the
retool of the fluctuations arising (rem the variation Of the seasons
and other causes.
Moved by Isaac Som.:, Rs+ accorded by Jima Hoban; Ifrq.-
Resolved unanimously, That in addidoo to the fluctuation mem-
sarily resulting from the restrictions established by law, it is not..
rims that a great uncertainty has pervaded the operations of the
Corn Markets, and the intention at the Leglekture has been de-
feated by the fraudulent practices which have been resorted to,
with the view of influencing the atoms prises by which the open-
iug or the shutting of the porti is determined.
MOved by WILIAM Caawroas, Esq. seceaded by S. C. 1
Hontaeo, Esq.
Resolved unanimeasly, That it appears therefore to this Meeting
that an early revision of the Corn Laws, and repeal of se much of
the reguiations as govern by periodical average prices the adenimiloo
of foreign corn to entry for home consumption, is highlyexpedisst.

Ribelved,with Mrs dlisentient voice, That deeply impressed with
the itispirtant adtantages which will flow out of the insprined prin-
t:Ws of tier cothatercial legidation,ind persuaded thattheagrital-
tur.el Interests *manta fail to reap their full share et the *tripe*/
moved by Other classes 'atilt community, this Meeting le attired;
that the present eestrictioets should be commuted for a Geed dnty.
whereby the ports of the United Kingdoet Woildle constantly Open
to the admission of foreign train for hems sonsumptiest
afrowta
parts of the world. That in the *Mar at skis Mosel* the '
of the duty upon admission should be limited tea fair equivalent
such taxes and burdens as are borne by the cultivators of the •
either exclusively or in a greater proportion than. ether branskr.
industry. But while' it is the opinion of the present Meeting,
this amount et duty is the utmost that can be/admitted can-trtA
principles, as the ultimate and permanent basis which all
en the corn trade should have in view, it proposes to le::: 77a
wisdom of Parliatnentio determiai upon such higher amount-et
axed duty as may be deemed expedient by way, of precan,loq
against too great a soddenuese of change, always keeping in Wed,
that the higher the duty the greater, will be the Uabllicyto fincturo

tion in prices.
