Mr . O'CoN » oa presented a petition from Yorkguire signed by 53 , ( AA ) people .

      Tuedtay , February 12 . Mr . CA&PEMTBit , Chairman . A long and desultory cottverntion took place as to the propriety of having a public discusxiun with the Corn Lnw gentry , and particalarly Col . Thompson ; when it was agreed that one or two gentlemen should ive him , and expreiM the read ine **» f ibe Conveurion to receive any written communication he mitSt wish to make .

      Mr . B . O'BaiEK said be considered it highly important that this subject should be brought under the serioas attention of the delegates , inasmuch as thrir opponent * were tudearouring by tbeir agitation upon it te diwrt Ae people from the real cnujes of » he grievances onier which the conntry lnboured . The opinion * already -expressed by the delegate * indiriouairy had effected much good ia Mining the eyes nf «« people l * Umb character oTTheSail-CoTa Law agitonon , and it remained only for theCo&venton to take up tbe matter , in order , effectually te expo *? the machinations « bich the Jews and jebber * cloaked « nd * r the cry lor the rept al of the corn ruonopoly . ( Hear , bear . ) He was glad to observe that the people were opening their eve * in this

      ¦ matter . Ho « w by ib - Norwich Meremry that a large meeting had been held in that city , and presided over by the mayor , apon the repeal « T the Corn Laws . 'nfroufndedwaMhe-aMtmbly whea fbe question was pot , thai the mayor prefiptsed himself usable to decide whether the ayes or the the Boes-hadit . He ( Mr . O'brwn ) was strqngly ineHned to betiere that the anti-Corn Law men were ddeated ; however , upon the question being put azain , it wu declared by tbe mayor . to have been carried in favour of the anti-Corn 1 > aw party . But the Convention would bear in miad , that the mayor of Norwich was an anti-Corn Law mayor , and that the NandcA Mercury was an anti-Corn Law joaraal —{ bear ) . If it bad not be * n for the example s ^ t at

      . NewouMe , Binnin g , am , and he would add Leeds , -Hhear)—the people of Norwich would sot have xhown no determined a front against this insidious endeavour to divert the iUU * ntion of the peop l * from the ival ean » ed of their present wretched coudilion . Such had bnen the esect ol mere individual exertion ; but if the Convention had sent forth to tbe working classes m revolution reooram * nding them to abstain from all agitation for repeal till they had seen the fate of the Charter , he was convinced that many of the meetings at which majorities had voted for the abolition ot tbe Corn Laws would have been broken up altogether . ( H « -ar , hexr . ) H * wished that tbe attention of the working classes should be directed to the motives by which the anti-Corn Law agitators

      were actuated . ( Hear , hear . ) Let tbe working classes reflect that this agitation was not commeaced until there had in effect ceased to be any Corn Law . ( Loud cnes of hear , hear . ) So long as tbe Corn Laws did exclude foreign grain from our market * , tbe ^ e anti-Corn Law men submitted to the monopoly prices , but when the price got up as high a * 80 s . 4 s . er 5 s . above the nominal duty , and when virtually there was no duty , they discovered the terrible efiecta of the Corn Laws . ( Cries of " Hear , hear . " ) And then the Convention was not to forget that the anti-Corn Law agitation wa * eoutemporaneoui with tha movement iu favour of the People ' s Charter . ( Hear . ) . What , in his opinion , evinced the fraudulent spirit ef thesi anti-Corn Law men was , tout while

      some . r eq . mred the total repeal , and others a modification—namely , the substitution of a fixed duty for a fluctuating . Wale , fbey never far a moment touched upon a single point which satisfied , any reasonable mig djtbat ihey , in the remotest degree , studied ( lie ptfonc benefit , er that they were governed by principles of common honesty . ( Lood cheers . ) There were three measures , any « ne of which was always deemed , by tbe respective advocates of them , to be a necessary accompaniment to a repeal of the Corn Law * . ( Hear . ) And with these three measures , aay person who had read the writings of Mr . Cob- ' beet , or the speeches of Mr . Attwood , mutt be conversant . Onr measure was the expansion of the currency ; another an equitable adjustment between

      debtor and creditor ; and the outer , which mended both the preceding , wu a reform in the representation . Tat repeal * f the Corn Laws without tbe concurrent adoption of any one of these measures would thmw two-fifth * of tbe property of the cennrry into the hand of tbe Jews and . tbe jobbers . ( Lond cheer * . ) What would be the effect of a repeal of the Corn Laws if , as the advocates for that repeal asserted , it woold reduce the price of food one-balf . ( Hear . ) What effect would it have upon public and private creditors , and private and pnbbc debtors ? ( Hear . ) Why , it would give tbe fundholder £ 3 , where they now give ¦ him only £ 2 . ( Cheers . ) By this tbe delegates weald pefeeive that the national dividead would be increased one-third . ( Hear , hear . ) Therefore they

      added a third , in effect , to tbe National Deba ( Hear , bear . ) This would be onl y one of the slightest effect * of a repeal of the Corn Laws . ( Hear . ) It was staled that there were . £ 2 , 000 , 000 , 000 of private debts in this country . Mr . Hadmt . —There are £ 4 , 000 , 000 , 000 . ( Hear ^ bear , bear . ) , Mr . O'Briex . —That made his case the stronger The delegatrs would see huw tbe debtors weald be situated . ( Hear . ) He weald suppose that a Clerk in a public office was receiving a salary of £ 500 a-year , which salary had been given bun npou a comparison of the price ef provision * , woaki that

      clerk receive bis * dw a-year u tne uorn Laws were repealed ? ( Hear . ) Crrtainly not Suppose that this clerk owed £ 3 * 000 and was paying interest apoa it , he should like to know whether tbe creditors weald redne * his debt ia proportion to the reduction which would - inevitably -take place in the clerk- ' * galary ? ( H «* r , hear . ) Bat k * did not look o | K * the question so much wilh reference to the elerk or the landholder , as ha did u respected the poor wha would sutler nerioosly from a repeal at the Com Laws , unless aceomeanied by emaeoneof ( hvmeassreii in which h * had alluded .

( Hear , hear . ) Whem food was cheaper , Ihey ; would find wages cbeapvr also . This was the case in Bektan . in the North , Kast , and South of France , kt ProssW Tyrol , and Italy . Mr Gregg stated , that in Bohn , " in Prossu , the wages were as lev as 2 s . Ad * per . week for operative . ( Hear , bear . ) Now tb » T- « rere-teld by an anti-Corn Law advocate in Marvlebbne . aad also bv

      Mr . Clay more than once in tbe Hoaae of Common / , that th « object nought by the repeal of toose laws wa # to enable tis , by cheaper : labour , * to compete with foreigni market * . ( Hear , 'hjrar , ) ' Tkey euher intended this , or they did not ; and if they did ^ not redoes wages , be would like to know how they weu . 'd be able to compete with th ^ foreign production * . But the reduction of wages was tie "Very thing that tbe working classes did not want . { Int . menne cheerx . ) The anti-Corn Law advocates said tbat the throwing open the ports wonidenable the conntry to wnd more goods abroad j ihat there would be more employment For the working , classe * , and that if wages were reduced ther £ would be more to de . They forgot , or rathefiheYiwril oui of siriit .

      the dimcultiea that lay in the way on thu p « rat . They talked of the rapid strides which foreigners hod made during the last twelve yeans and that suca was the pi ogress made ,. ' that the manufacturers o / this country were in danger of being driven from the continent . What security would the persons who told . the working classes this give to the latter , that the foreigners would not get protecting dune * established , uid thu g keep us out of the foreign markets altogether . ( Hear , hear . ) He said that th * foreign manufacturer would keep us ont . ( Hear , bear . ) These men , who had gone to an enormous expense in erecting factories and machinery would not allsw the capitalist * of this country to undersell and sacrifice them . ( Hear . )

      By their own showing , wages would come , dewji according to tbe price of food , and the only advantage they offered was an increase of employtnent ia thV manufacturing town * . Bat whilst wages came du «« rn according to the price ef food , tbe burdBBscet the people would go up in tbe proportion bfeee ? third ot what they now wens « nd thu was what the importers wanted . ( Loud cheew . ) Fabjehood , aad nothing but falsehood , came from these parties ( Hear . ) They tnld the country that such was the dreadful falling off in the manufacture * of the conntry , that they hud not had any profitsTor two years . This bad been stated publicl y , out let the delegates mark how these same men coold , when tn « y Wanted to subserre nny purpose , xet foith their immense

      wealth . ( Hear , hear . ) It had been said as a matter entitling these manufacturers to . the attention of the Legislature , that the chamber of commerce of Manchester had more wealtk than the peerage of England . ( Ht-ar . ) He hadit from those who were well informed on the subject , that some of these manufacturer )* who had not bad any profit * for the last two years were , iiBtwithstaudiug the effects of the Corn Law * , worth a million or two millions of money—and some ot these persons thirty years aiuoe were portenj and warehousemen in Manchester . ( Hear . ) Whilst the * e men were so enormously rich , what were the delegates to think of th *

      * tatn of society when—and he took upon himself to say it was the fact—that at this monicUt the whole of the agricultural labourers of England were not ( their debts bring paid ) worth 30 d . in the world . ( Hear , hear . ) The speaker then went on to point ont how the repeal of the Corn Laws would effect the landed property in the hands of tbe "Jews and jobbers . " It would effect in this matter a wholesale robbery , and yet the men who desired to accomplish this hid the effrontery to charge the working clas * e » with a desire for spoliation .
