      A Banker ' s Bequest . —A dying banker thus addressed his elde 3 C sou : — " You may suppose you are going to inherit a lar ^ e fortune , but you are mistaken . I have no property , and the bank is insolvent to the amonnt of ' £ 200 , 000 . On the death of my father , who died of a broken heart , I found the bank waa hardly solvent . I at firsi resolved to dose the concern , and pay eff the creditors , but I afterwards determined otherwise . I proved my father ' s will for a quarter of a million , and set up a large establishment . This gave me the reputation of wealth , and increased the business of the baok .

Horrocks , who was naturally of a most irritable disposition , entered the house between seven and eight o'clock , and demanded to

Jiis admission had been refused , as he had no claim on the union , but the guardians had humanely conrribu'ed out of their own pockets on the occasion to send him back to his native place , During Father Mathew ' s recent visit to this city , this poor fellow came up to Waterford , took the pledge , and received the blessing of the apostle , and to the astonishment of every one in the chapel where he to-.

      of Bimiirigha-m , and middle classes too , if any of you are pnsent , for tha mid <) le clashes wtre as closely mixL-d up -with the question -which he intsnded to bring \ --. 'k ; I' . - them that eveuing , as any other class in the country . He hopj-d to be aWy to prove to them that evening that he waa a complete anti-monopolist . He attended there not to defend the Cum La-ws , but to examine the arguments of those who sought tbeir rr-pe : ; i , and represented them as the sole cause of the di . 'trf-ssed condition of the -working classes . Without any further preface , he would go at once to the question for which they had that evening assembled . It was argued by the advocates of Corn Law repeal , that if their propositions were carried into operation , ii ¦ wonl . i cheapen bread , and open foreign maikcts Others of them asserted that the existence of the Corn Laws cost the country fifty minions annunllv , and lie bad

      read a letter frcm Mr . Boultbee , of Sirmingbam , -which found fault with the anti-Corn Law lecturers for stating that a repeal of tbe Corn Laws would reduce the pries cf bread one-half , whilst at the same time Mr . Boullbee fcffirmed that it would double tbe wages of the operacive ; so that it nppeared they differed materially "with each other as to the ultimate result of a total rept .-. l . They could , therefore , have no objection to hear the opinions of others on the m&tter . He ¦ would , therefore , shew them , in the first . place , that , a repeal of the Corn Laws trcuid not increase the wages of the ¦ Wi-vkman ; for although tbe export trade of the country was rapidly increasing from the year 1702 to 1 S 15 , yet within that period the "wages of manufacturing operatives had sunk from 33 ? . 3 d . to 1-is-, and at that pt-riod the present Corn Laws were not in existence . What , then , became of the prgumunt that tbe Com Laws were the aolftlcause of low trtgeB ? From

      the year I 8 I 0 to 1842 trade had ; increased to > a very gr- ; at extent , and still the wages of the operative Were reduced to an alarming extent . JUe need only tell them that tho piece of * cloth for ¦ which 333 . 3 d . was paid in 1792 wsa no * r being made for 3 s .-0 iV ,. and those men who talked so much ot a rfep « al of the Corn Laws increasing trade and wagea were at the present time shewing their affection : for their workpeople by introducing machinery , -which-. . turned hundreds on tho streets - to . - starve . " He tbon' read the following qnotatton . frnnv' '' Smith ' s" Wealth of Nations , " which is placed at the head of one of ^ ; - the columns in the Birmingham Journal : — " Consumption is the sold end and purpose of all production ; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended- - to only so far as if . hi . ay bo necessary for promotin ? that of the consumer . The maxim is so perfectly self-evident , that it would be absurd to attempt to prove it" : -V

      Now if production ought to be suited to the means of consumption , why .: were-so many hundreds turned to starve whilst their places were occupiedby . inanimate matter ? It was only lately that Mr . Cobden had introduced machinery ; by which twenty-eigbt men and boys couid do as much as would have kept 300 men in employ previous to its introduction . In another manufactory belonging to tho same party , their average wages did not exceed three shillings per week , through shortness of work , where they formerly received thirty shillings , yet tbe machines were keDt at work from eight to eleven o ' clock at night . When Mr . Cobden was publicly charged with acting as above stated , ho said , " Aa a proof that 1 have no desire to see any men starving . I have not reduced their wages for the last

      tsventy-five ytars . " Hat Mr . Cobden forgot to tell them that bis hands were starving on from five to eight shillings per week , whilst machinery was doing their work ; and ytt thost ; gentlemen wished them to believe that they intended to serve them . As a further probf of tho fallacy - "that , increased trade would causa increased wpges , " ^ need only mention the fact , that whereas ten years ago 1000 spinners- ' in ; -Manchester were iitfly empioyed , now they tad only 500 who were that week working 157 , 000 spindles more than the 1000 men did ten years previous , at ten shiilings a week less for double the work . In block printing a iuacl : iii 8 had beeu introduced , by which 500 pieces could be printed in twenty hours , through tha superintendence of tv . o men . whereas it would take 350 men

      to de it previously , and yet . these men talk cf increasing-then : trade as a uieans of bett ^ iiag the condition . of the working men , at the same time that a vast quantity of machinery was lying idle . Tht-y ^ atd that if the Corn L ^ ws -were abolished all thoiv machineiy would be einpluved . What then was to bueomu o ' f the machinery of Hussia , Prussia , Austria , Denmark . Ameiica , iind other phice 3 , ivhtra it was i « c ;; easin ^ as well as here ? Tho -working people of thoae piaces -were suffaring from the tff-. cts of ihe systaiu , and wore ill fed and ill clad , by being robbed of the duo reward of . their labour . They weie workiDg for 4 s . <) 1 . per week , whilst the labourer of Manchester h ; : d to pay 3 ^ . ( Jd . a week for rent and riling . How , then , were they to compete with foreigners who were also improving their

      machinery ? which caused Juhn Edward Taylor to cry out that the Government must .. take off tbe export duty on machinery . He had a discussion wiih r . lr . Hume on this subject , and had then stated that the question was whother the foreigner was to run us out of tho market or we him ? Aud supposing that they were prepared to run tho race , previous to starting they would be met by Members of Parliament wha would inform them that they very much wished to see then -win . At the same time informing them that they should hava a hundred weight of lead fastene < . ' . round their necks by way of helping tbom , for it -wa ' s quite clear that the Americans did not pay one shilling iu taxts to an Eciitisiimen ' s five . Where , then , was tht ciiance for our success whilst , labouring under such

      rti&idvantages ? Tho fact was , until the people vrere fairly represented in Parliament there was no chaticu of an nmelioration of their condition .

( L . ud cheeis . ) He oi : ce thought the Corn Law repealers were truly honest iind philahUiropic , but-in the midst of tbeir ; pretended sjinpathy tbe working classes were sinking lower in tfce depths of laistry : uid destitution .

' because the operatives of other towns ,, could not purchase tbeir cotton goods . Then there was the oppressed people of Ireland . Such was their wretched condition , that if they were fairjy examined , be doubted whethvr they bad a shilling worth of . clothing each on aniiyerago ; but if the Corn Law repealers could find a country one thousand miles off in the Same state as tbe people of Ireland , they \? ould- --say they had discovered a country whero the people were naked , ant * . < ha » , the 2 ccurt > ed bread tax was the sole ' cause .- ; " but , ' admitting that the Ccrn Laws were repealed , whati would be ; the condition of the workman ? Would he not be placed

      in the tame condition as he wus at present- ? For i 11-it . iiice , a workman is in the receipt of fifteen shillings per week ; and is informed by his master that he can't find a market for his goods— -on which , nccount his wflgtsmust fee reduced to twelve shillings ; he vrouidthus disable tho workman from dealing inthe'boni ' e .
