Xezrich—Well , artist is toe reason that this has sot been paid ? Finch—I have not been able . I have bad great diffienlty t « procure » subsistence far myself and family . I and my family have , during tbe late Inclement .

Boseowen—What Is year occupation ? riack—A snoemafeer , yoor Worship , Boeooiren—To -what parisb do JOU belong r finch—To Kerreigite . Boseowen—What rent do you pay ? Finch—Two shillings aod sixpence per week . BoKowen—O , if yon come to Dorking to liTe , and pay a rent of two shillings and sixpence a week , you auut expect to pay rates . There are none excused from paying rates who do not belong to the pariah .

      Finch—I beg yonr worship ' * pardon , bat I can assure you thai I know several whom the authorities hare excused who do not belong to the pariah , and -whom Z believe to be in better cireumstanees than I am . Kerrieh—Yes ; there ia no distinction between persons belonging to the parish , and those who do not There are some agricultural labourers and others . Whom tbe Teneers deem unable to pay , excused , but , as they hare not excused you , it appears they consider jou able to pay , and we hare no power to excuse yon . Finch—It seems a vesy bard ease that I should be Compelled to con tribute towards tbe relief of- tbe poor , when my circumstances are manifestly worse thin some of tboee who are receiring relief .

      Bescowen—There are others worse off than you who are compelled to contribute , and if you doht choose to pay we shall issue a warrant of distress . Kerrich—We had better allow him time to pay it Boseowen— "What time can you pay it in ? "Finch—I think it impossible to pay in less than a month or six weeks . Boseowen—That will not do ; tke collector has to dear op his books at the expiration of a fortnight ; consequently , we cannot allow any longer tune . Finch—I shall be unable to pay within so short a period ; but , if you allow a month or so , I will , if possible , endeavour to pay . Boseowen—If yon are unable to pay -we shall issue a warrant of distress immediately ; ( then throwing the summons to the clerk , he continued ) : —Make out a warrant of distress to that .

      Finch , after a few moment's consideration , thought of a friend who might advance him the money on loan , and told the Rev . that he would , if possible , borrow the money and pay immediately , and was leaving the room for that purpose , when Bosaeoing bawled out : —You must pay two shillings for the expenee of the summons too . Fincb—I cannot pay for the summons . Boseowen—O , cant you ? we will Bee whether you < an or sot Finch then left tbe room and s * on retained with th ' e ten shillings , which he laid upon the table saying , " This is the money for the rate , but I cannot pay two tfoillrng * for the summons . " This exasperated his reversoee and he , in his fury , ordered the money to be thrown alter Finch , which was accordingly done , and

      still farther to gratify his malicious revenge , he ordered a warrant Of distress to be issued against Finch immediately . It appears that this divine who prays nine or ten times a week , that we may be forgiven our debts as we forgive our debtors , could not repose upon his bed until he had caused a poor distressed mechanic to be robbed of bis straw mattress and other bits of furniture , fox ia lea than an hour after the proceedings we have referred to , a constable sod broker entered tbe house of Pinch , ( although a mile and a quarter from the justice room , ! and were about to seizs upon his bits of " goods and chatties , " until fee was induced through the solicitations and tears of bis wife to take fire shillings he had laid by for his rent , to pay what he thought an illegal charge , at least , so far as regarded the summons .

      BOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tcesbat , Mabch 24 . The first public business on the list was a motion of j Xord Mahss , < who proposed it to the . House to resolve that the present extensive system of commuting taujiportation for confinement in She hulks is highly I inexpedient , "ffhe Crown , he said , bad doubtless the 3 > raregative -of * at » titntiiig Uiat -ceBSsement for this tansportation , but it tna a prerogative given , not in ¦ erdsr to warrant such substitution as ageneral measure , Imt to authorise it under particular circumstances ! jFuch-a * old age or ill health . The pieeot system jested upon a minute c £ Lord John Bssaell , In which that 3 "foble Isord had strangely disregarded the evidence -taken before tbe Lords' Committee o * this anbject . From that eridenoe it would appear that tae hulfca were

      much leea dreaded than transportation . Nor were ifcej egually available with transportation far that other important object—tae reform of offender * . The hulfcs , toe , had this riimrtgHifaige—that the ? did sot admit Xhe application of the modern improvementi in pria ^ < ftieif > iTnft Such was the inefficacy of the hulks is ttemselves , that H became necessary to exeeeke there a rigoBr not « &Quired ia other places of fuusbment In a matter « f k > much importance , economy was not a primary object , but it Reserved some eaasideeation . ; and such consideration was unfavourable to ft" hulks . But the great aod pannoont objection to this punish ment at boBit d criminals , fentsneed to tnmfTJi * r ** f * r'rt .

      • was tbe impoftmbUltr of tbeir procuring employment oa their divhtrg * , and the consequent danger of their relapsing into crime from mere necessity . Lord Haswn went on to cite , very largely , tbe testimony of various peesons , in affirmv \ ns of the nfciilty of transportation ; jad then discussed the merits of the convict assignment system , in the abolition whereof , as effected by Lord J « hn Russell , he declared his acquiescence . He advocated the recommendations of Sir Richard Bovrke ob tbe subject of eonriet labour , and pleaded the importance of the subject as his justification for the gnat length of his speech , which lasted almost two bOBXE .

      Lord John Rrsssn . admitted tbe tone of some of tbe objections to the punishment of the balks ; but the diSeolty of finding other adequate peaaities forbade the adoption of sseh s resolution as Lord Hahos had proposed , if tbe hulks were too urrere 00 lh # oa * hand , yet , ps the other , kansportation bad not tie taron

But wlatliehad ehkfly afas » d at was . to prevent the Australian colonies from Wog overran by the refuse of the English gaols . H « did not think it necessary that the Bouse should bow eome to any decision upon tbe subject , and would , therefore , move the previous question . Lord Mxhon deefiaed to withdraw his notion ; and tbe House on a diviske affirmed it . -

      ---Mr . Scholfield then brought forward a motion , recommending the snbstitation of a property tax for such of the taxes of excise and customs as press most heavily on the middle and working olnisos , He said that in 1840 there were 1 , 500 bankrupts , and probably ten times as many insolvents . A sort of dvil war was goingon between debtors aad creditors , profitable only to the lawyers . The masters and the men were constantly at variance . One effect , of all this was the Increase of crimes , particularly forgeries and fraud * Tbe pressure of poverty bad a demoralising effect on the minds of men . GiD-pal » oes flourished , and self-murder was become frequent . Tbe Hen . Member lastly read a few extracts from different writers to show the reasonableness of a tax on property .

      Mr . MUNtrseeended the motion . He believed that in this country , more than in any other , the poor bore too large a proportion of the taxes . Taxation and representation ought to go band in band . He doubted whether , in the present stats of education , Universal Suffrage was desirable ; but certainly tbe sufirage ahould be extended . Tbe trade ef our towns had now no remunerating profit , and no prospect of any . Seeing no chance of a repeal either of the Corn Laws or the money laws , he must strongly support his colleague ' s motion . Mr . Tcrneb . lamented that the House , so full when party questions were te be discussed , was so thinly attended on a question of taxation .

      Mr . Williaks enumerated the chief articles consumed by the poor , and showed how large » proportion of the taxes these articles bear . " There would soon , " he said , "be a pressure from without which would oblige the House to attend to these considerations . " Mr . FiELDES concurred in the motion , and censured the non-attendance of members . Mr . Baring said that the reason of the absence of Members was probably the conviction of all men of business that such a resolution as the present could

      not possibly b » put upon the jpnraalf of tbe House . An announcement of a property tax , and that , too , an indefinite one on its amount , would throw the whole of this country into confusion . When a property tax existed there was no language which was thought too strong for the condemnation of it , especially with reference to its inquisitorial character . He could not think that his Ho a . Friend meant seriously to press his motion to ft division , but if a division were pressed , he should move the previous question .

      Mr . Hume repeated the argument that the heaviest taxes are borne by the poor . The rich said that property was the fitting qualification for franchise , but they took care to exempt property from taxation . Again , personal property paid legacy duty to the amount of £ 2 , 000 , 000 and £ 3 , 000 , 000 a-year , butlanded property paid no legacy duty at alL For fifty or sixty years there had not been so much misery as at present among the working classes . But the Government would never move unless there was a pressure upon it either from this House or from without

      Mr . QorLBURN exposed tbe absurdity , in an artificial society like ours , of attempting to make a sadden change in its whole system of taxation , and , still more , of passing an abstract resolution on such a subject . Much difference of opinion had existed heretofore , whether it were better to take the taxes of a country in the first instance from capital , or to take them from the produce of that capital in an ulterior stage . The latter system had now been pretty generally adopted as the preferable one . Mr . Wakley commented upon the absence of the leading men of both parties . After a little pleasantry from Colonel Sibthorp , Mr . Maek Philips advised Mr . Scholfleld to -withdraw his motion for the present , and renew it in a full House , when the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be going into a Pommittee of Ways and Means .

      General Johnson thought that when Gentlemen brought forward motions , it became almost a duty that they should take the sense of the House npon them . Mr . SCHOLFIELD shortly replied , And the House dividing , rejected his motion .

Mr . Baines conducted the prosecution ; Sir . G . Lewis defended John Shaw . The other prisoners were undefended .

      It appeared from the evidence , that the prosecutor is a weaver , living at Lingard ' B , in the parish of Almondbury . He went to bed on tbe night of the 24 th of February , having previously fastened the doors of the kouBe . About an hour afterwards , he was awoke by hearing a noise at the back part of tbe house ; he slept in the lower room , and immediately got up , and shouted "Hollo ! who ' s there ^—what's to do . " A man whom be recognised as Thomas Shaw , said u Get up , here ' s a tdfing "meaning an accouchement . He lighted a candle , and whilst doing so , he heard a sound of many persons coming towards the door . One of them said ' * Come , are you going to open the door ! " The prosecutor

      . said " No ; not until you give an account of yourself . " He heard the firing of a pistol , and one i of them said " D—n him we'll kill him—we'll 1 stretch him for not opening tbe door . " After that I another man said " Come , are you not going to open ! it yourself . " Prosecutor repeated bis former answer , i adding , " I ' m not doven ^ ( meaning frightened ) as I many of you as there arc . " The front window was i then instantly smashed in with a Btroke from the ' top to the bottom . He saw the three prisoners at I the window , and the men ( seven in number ) comj menced throwing stones—some of them said they j would go into the house , notwithstanding the light . ; Joseph Wood said he would not until the light was ' put out , and then threw a Btone which struck the

      j prosecutor on the arm , and knocked the candle out I of his hand . As soon as the light was thus ex-! tinguis& « d , Joseph Wood Baid I'll be the first man to pounce in , " and the prosecutor waited in the house until Wood sprang at the window . He then went out of the house to obtain assistance , and whilst he was opening the door three men seized him . One of the stones went on to the bed where the prosecutor ' s wife was laid . When the prosecutor returned with assistance , he j found four sovereigns and 3 s . 2 d . had been taken j from a chest of drawers . Whilst the prosecutor was i out , two of the men went into the cellar , threatened I to st&h the prosecutor ' s wife , and compelled her to I give up the money . Guilty . Sentence deferred .

      EMBEZZLEMENT . John Haigh ( who had been out on bail ) was charged with embezzlement . Mr . Wortlet and Mr . Pickkeing were for the prosecution ; and Sir Gkegokt Lewis and Mr . Pashley defended the prisoner . The prisoner was the manager of a colliery at Rawmarsh , near Rotherham , of which the prosecutors , Messrs . Qiarleswonn , were lessees . It was the duty of the prisoner to manage the colliery , and to take and pay all the monies ; it was his duty to

      make an entry in a book , kept for that purpose , of all the coals that were sold at the colliery , and all the receipts taken in respect of those sales . Two books were kept , and one was sent every alternate week to Mr . Forfest , the book-keeper at Lofthouse , who made out the accounts , and in these books great deficiencea were found ; and oh inquiry it was ascertained that large gums had been paid by the prisoner by different parties , and not duly entered by him . Guilty . Sentence was deferred .

      There were several other charges of a similar nature against the prisoner , but no evidence was offered on them , on the part of the prosecution .

      COIXIVQ MI SHEFFIELD . John Hans «* Suite * , 30 , was indicted for having , on the 11 th December , at Sheffield , counterfeited 108 dollars , intended to resemble Mexican dollars . Mr .

He ease from Canada on the 10 th of J > ecember to Sheffield , went te the shop of Mr . Briggs , a silver plater and a « B » iiufacturer of

Cotting Hi « defended the prisoner . ¦ ¦ The prosecutor iB a brewer , residing atHnnslet , near Leeds , and the prisoner keeps a beerhouse , at Bowling-lane , near Bradford , and on the 14 th of July , he uttered to the prosecutor a forged bill of exchange . In June , the prisoner was indebted to the prosecutor to the Sum of three « r four pounds , for ale , and some proceedin gs were commenced by the prosecutor for the recovery of the debt . The prisoner sent him a letter , in which

      was enclosed the forged bill , which purported to be drawn and indorsed by Jonaa Mortimer . On the 3 rd of August , the prosecutor saw the prisoner , and inquired of him who Mortimer was . He was told that be was a linen-draper in Bowling-lane . On being applied to , he stated that he had not given any authority to the prisoner to put his name to the forged bill . Mortimer was cross-examined by Mr . Cottingham , and it appeared that , in addition to being a common informer , he had very lately been apprehended on a charge of burglary . Mr . Brigg , the constable , was asked if he would believe Mortimer on his oath , when he stated he would not if there was nothing else to corroborate him .

      Mr . Baines , therefore , did not press the case further . The prisoner was acquitted . Mr . Cottingham said he had witnesses who would have proved the prisoner ' s innocence .

Fox , 23 , Geo , Robinson , 23 , and John Cherry , 24 , were placed at the bar , charged with the wilful murder of George Blackburn , at Barnsley , on the 5 ib of October last ;—Mitchell was charged as the principal , - Fox with aiding , abetting , and counselling him ia the commission ; and the others with being accessories before the fact .

Hii , Lordship thought there was no evidence against Cherry and Robinson of their being accessories , and therefore directed an acquittal . Mr . Cottingham then addressed the Jury for the prisoner Mitchell . He said he . wasone of fifteen children , whose parents , he understood , had hitherto borne a most irreproachable character , and who had brought up their children in the paths of industry and rectitude . This was a most painful case , and resolved itself into two classes of evidence—one , direct or positive , the other , circumstantial ; the direct or positive evidence being that of Mrs .

      Blackburn and th « girl Fretwell . He dwelt at length on the extreme danger of trusting to evidence relating to identity , especially to that which had been given on the present occasion , and contended that from all tbe circumstances of the case , it would be unsafe to convict the prison ©* . Sir Gregory Lewin followed on behalf of Fox . He thought tbe only difficulty he had to contend with in the case was , that he could not find any evidence against his client . Suspicion was not evidence . Circumstances of suspicion might occur to all , and if upon circumstances of suspicion alone

      persons were to be placed at the bar to answer for their lives , the life of no person would be worth holding for one single hour . He contended that Fox had not been identified as one of the party who committed the offence , and that on the contrary , it was a perfectly unconcerted act , the party who had given the fatal blow having probably taken the stone , upon the spur of the moment , from tbe wall near which they were standing . He called upon them to do justice , and give a verdict of acquittal to his client . The Learned Judge then proceeded to sum up at considerable length , and with great clearness .

      The Jury retired , and were absent from the Court only about ten minutes . On their return , the Clerk of the Court , after calling over the names , asked the usual question— " Gentlemen of the Jury , do you find John Mitchell guilty or not guilty 1 " The Foreman , in a very subdued tone of voioe"Guilty . " Clerk of the Court—* ' Do you find Wm . Fox guilty or not guilty !" The Foreman- " Not Guilty . " Mr . Baron Rolfe then having placed the black cap upon his head , proceeded , in a moat impressive manner , to pass the sentence of the law . He regretted that one so young should be placed at the bar of his country on so heinous a charge—a charge which had been brought home to him in so clear a

      manner , that the jury had had no hesitation in finding him guilty . In their verdict he fully concurred . His companions had for the present escaped ; but he envied them not their feelings . God only knew whether they were innocent of the crime or not ; but , so far as he ( Mitchell ) was concerned , there could be no doubt that , whether the deceased met his death by his hand or not , he was present at the time the deed was done . He entreated him to make use of the short time allotted to him in this world , in seeking for mercy where only it could be obtained , as it was impossible that his life could be spared . Tbe sentence was , that he be taken thence to prison , and from thence to tho public place of execution , there to be bung by the neck till he was dead .

      SENTENCES . John Shaw , Thomas Shaw , and Joseph Wood , who had been convicted of having feloniously broken into a dwelling-house at Almondbury , and stolen therefrom four sovereigns , and other moneys the property of Charles Haigh , were sentenced to be transported for fifteen years . John Haigh , convicted of having embezzled a sum i > f money , the property of his employers , to . be imprisoned one year and four calendar months .

      GLORIOUS DEFEAT OF THE CORN LAW LEAGUE AND TRIUMPHANT VICTORY OF THE CHARTISTS AT A PUBLIC

      MEETING IN MANCHESTER . BY EXPRESS . The Corn Law party announced a public meeting to take place on Thursday , 19 th inst ., at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . The Chartists' Committee issued counter placards , stating their intention to be present . No sooner had these placards been posted than circulars were sent to all the Corn Law party , giving notice that a postponement of the meeting was agreed upon , and tho meeting would come off on Friday morning , to commence as before . a ! eleven o ' clock . At half-past ten o ' clock our reporter went to the Town Hall , the place where the meeting was held , and , after making a score of applications for

      admittance , he could not be allowed until the front doors were opened ; whilst the reporters of all the Manchester papers had passed some other way , and procured themselves comfortable Beats . Two policemen were stationed at the door , with a gentleman beside them , to point out all who were favourable to the Whig method of packing public meetings . We stood there while more than a hundred passed us , and all going under the name of committee . men ; and when asked whether they belonged the Committee or not , they invariably said that they were not going to the meeting , but wanted to go into the Borouvhreovo ' a

      room . At eleven o ' clock the doors wore opened , and a general rush was made by the people , to get Scats if possible , at a place where they might hear the speakers . When they entered the large room , they expected it would have been empty ; but to their surprise and disgust , on entering the room they found every seat filled with the middle clas 3 , aud our reporter was obliged to take the most inconvenient place under the rostrum , where the light was prevented reaching him by persons standiug before the windows , and where he was exposed to have his pens , ink bottle , and book , trodden upon and kicked about by the respectables passing from one side of the table to tho other .

      At a quarter past eleven 0 clock , Mr . Dixon rose to propose a chairman . He said , as the meeting was called for eleven o ' clock , he was of opinion that the business should have commenced at that time . He would , therefore , move that the Rev . Mr . Schofidd take the chair . Mr . Nightingale seconded the motion , and put it to the meeting when three-fourths ol the people held up their hands in favour of the Rev . Mr . Schofield being the chairman . The Whig ? objected on the ground that the Mayor claimed the chair as a matter of right . The people , however , were not to be done ; and , therefore , requested the Chairman to proceed with the business . The Mayor said he would keep the chair , ( Tremendous groans . )

      Mr . Schofield Baid , he did not come thither expecting to be placed as their chairman ; but that the inhabitants of Manchester would choose whom they thought proper to preside over them . He would , however , by their permission , decline , and let the Mayor preside . ( Cries of " No , no , " " We will have our own . " The Chairman said that the mayor had proved himself a party man by refusing to call a public meeting to petition against the Poor Law . Mr . Dixon said as the meeting had been driven a quarter of an hour beyond the time , that alone formed sufficient ground for the meeting , when assembled , to elect their own chairman ; and if the Mayor persisted , it would be usurpation aud not a right . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . )

      The meeting at this time was in the . greatest uproar . Hissing , groaning , hooting , and whistling . Mr . Clarke , one of tbe league , began reading something from a newspaper , but it was inaudibleamid tbe cries of " Schofield , Schofield "—and from the opposite ** Mayor , Mayor , " which wa 8 finished for a moment by tremendous groans , and other marks of disapprobation . Mr . Dixon said , that right which the Mayor claimed had not been settled . He knew neither Mayor nor Corporation at a public meeting . ( . Vociferous cheering from the Chartists , and hisgeB from tbe respectables , J

      Mr . Doyle wanted to know whether Mr , S . had not been duly elected by the meeting to take the chair . ( Hear , hear . "Hehas , and no others shall ; they are not going to thrust him down our throats whether or not . ") Mr . ScHOFEXijjjrose to address the meeting , and WM received with TOiiferous cheering from tht

      working men ; and hisses from the Whigs . He said , since U was their determination that he should occupy the chair , he would maintain , the right . f fil | f | AJMi \ . " " ¦¦¦' . ¦ . ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ : ¦• ' " . ¦ ¦ ' ¦ . ¦ ¦ Mr . Cobdbn then presented himself , and received a sally of groans and hisses , and ones of " Off , off , off , " &o ., &c . ¦ -: ' - ¦ . . _¦; . . ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦/ Dr . M'Docix ' i . rose and procured Mr . Cobden a hearing , but the people were not satisfied until the Chairman had been decided . A chair was then handed over to the reporters table , amid the most rapturdus applause . At this time a Mr . Clarke whispered , in our hearing , that one of the men beside him must go for Mr . Sawley , head of the police station .

      Mr . James Cahtlkdgb rose and exposed the tyranny of this gentleman to the meeting , and for which they shewed their disgust and execration at such conduct . _ . The Ghaibman was acknowledged by Mr . Cobden , who requested he would procure him a hearing , while he moved the first resolution . The Whigs cheered , and the working men groaned . Mr . Leech stepped forward , and was loudly cheered . He hoped they would give every speaker a fair hearing on the Whig aide of the question ; after which the working men would expect the same opportunity , and let reason and argument govern tbe meeting , and he was sure these corn law gentlemen would oe perfectly answered . ( Hear , bear , and cheers . ) ¦¦

      Mr . Cobden said that though there had been some difference of opinion as to the Chairman , he was sure there would be but one opinion on the resolution which he was about to move . He then read the following resolution : — "That it is the opinion of this meeting , the state taxes ought to be imposed upon the different classes of the community , with a due regard to their ability to sustain the public burden ; but a duty upon foreign corn , in other words an impost on the bread of the people , is a flagrant violation of this just principle , inasmuch as it taxes the poorest man as heavily as the richest , upon the necessaries of life , consumed in nearly equal proportions by all ; that a still greater injustice is inflicted by the Corn Law ;

      for as the duty upon foreign corn however small the quantity imported , raises the price of the whole of tke home produce , a tax is thus imposed for the purpose of protection , far greater than the amount contributed to the revenue ; and this tax is paid by the people at large to a comparatively few rich proprietors of tho soil , and for which they receive no benefit in return . " —Neither our space nor time will permit us to give any speeches this week , and we regret this the less , as not a new idea was advanced , even by the great lion of the league—nothing but what we have published many times before , in the various discussions . Suffice it to say , that he went all over the world , and forgot the starving artisans of his own immediate neighbourhood .

      Mr . M'Carbol rose to second it in along , rambling speech , which resembled more a sermon than a political oration . It struck us at the time that he had forgot himself , and fancied he was in his pulpit . He professed great sympathy for the working classes , and used every wheedling , shuffling , and cajoling argument he was master of , to get the people to rote for the resolution . Dr . M'Docall rose , amid the most deafening cheers , waving of hats , clapping of hands , &c , which lasted some seconds . He begged to move the following as an amendment , "That in the opinion of this meeting , not only the Corn Laws , but every other tas on the necessaries of life , ought to be immediately repealed ; and , to make up the deficiency in

      the revenue , a tax should be laid upon all real and funded property ; that there should be an equitable adjustment of the debt miscalled National ; and that as soon as possible the National expenditure ought to be regulated by a H « use of Commons chosen upon the principle of Universal Suffrage . " ( Tremendous cheering followed this . ) The Doctor mid he came there as the advocate of the rights of labour , and made an eloquent , sarcastical , and powerful speech , ia which he exposed the delusions of the Corn Law repealers ; showed how the working classes have been robbed of the rights of labour ; drew a woeful picture of the cotton slaves in Bolton ; gave Cobden credit for his sincerity , because he was working for bis own interest ,

      and while he was giving a vivid description of the factory system , the cotton lords writhed to that degree that at times they could not bear it , and impeded his progress by hooting , hissing , and shouts of ¦ question . " f he Doctor stood his ground , and told them if they thought to put him down after he people had given Cobden a fair hearing , they would be very much mistaken ; this was hailed by vociferous cheers from the working men . After glancing at many fallacies put forth by the Corn Law Repealers , he retired amid cheers loud and long . Mr . Leech rose , and was received with loud cheering . He thought the question for the working classes was , how much benefit they were about to derive from the repeal . He contended that it was a

      battle between the cotton lords on tbe one hand , and the landlords on the other 1 —( hear , hear)—the working classes Were crucified between these two thieves . It was a battle of wood and iron and steel , against flesh , blood , and bones . He brought facts , figures , and dates , against every argument aduced by Cobden , and shewed clearly the false position that gentleman had taken , by asserting that , in proportion as the demand for goods increased , so would the wages of the workmen / He proved , that just in proportion as they had increased in production during tbe last forty years , in the same ratio had the wages decreased . He drew a picture of the factory system , and said these Corn Law repealers could not be sincere in their sympathy for the working classes . The tax

      upon each man was 4 d . per week , allowing that he eat two shillings ' worth of bread . He would have thought , for his part , that when the Corn Law Repealing Cotton Lords , reduced the wages of their hands , within the last three months , they would have been content to have taken the tax alone ; instead of which , they had taken both the tax and the loaf of the labouring man . ( Hear . ) He was working in one of theso crucibles prior to the reduction , and they wanted to take 63 . from his wages , whioh was not only the loaf , but a portion of what would have been devoted to pay his rent , or purchase clothing ; aud because he resisted this , and exposed it , he was not considered a fit person to enter a factory , although he had workod at the same mill for eight years . ( Shame , shame . )

      Mr . Leech spoke at considerable length , and acquitted himself in a masterly st vie , and concluded by declaring that no good could be done for the working classes until they were protected by the law ; until the labour of the artizan was protected equally with the capital of the rich mau ; aud sat dowu amid long and loud cheering . Mr . Campbell , Sooial Missionary , addressed the meeting ; ho acknowledged the right of the people to the Suffrage . He was desirous that the meeting should pass boih the resolution and the amendment , and he thought he could shew that each of the preceding speakers had supported the resolution by speaking to the amendment . The people did not appear very , desirous of hearing hi m , and he retired amid partial groans and cheers .

      Mr . Buchanan Sooial Missionary , supported the amendment , in a speech replete with argument and sound sense , interspersed with most cutting sarcasm upon the Corn Law Repealers for their nibbling projects , aud characterised , too , by ahold and manly defence of the rights of the labourer to good food , good clothing , good lodging , and , above all , to the right ot representation , as a means of securing him in their possession . He was loudly cheered throughout . Mr . Dixon supported the amendment in a short and pithy speech . The meeting now became impatient for the rote to be taken upon the motion and amendment . Loud cries of " put it , put it , " resounded from every side of the hall .

      The Mayor , who up to this period had remained a complete cipher , rose to put the question , and was received by a tremendous volley oi groans , accompanied with cries of u Sit thee down , " " away with thee , " " we ' ve nought to do wi' thee , " " we will have our own chairman . " Mr . Schofield , the chairman of the meeting , here stepped upon his chair , and was received with vociferous and enthusiastic cheers , which lasted for some time . The Mayor asked Mr . Schofield for the amendment , for the purpose of putting it to the meeting . The Chairman very piopeily refused , but proceeded ( 0 read it , and take the sense of the meeting upon it . [ On a show of hands being asked for . a

      forest of hands was raised ; at least three-fourths of the meeting declaring for the amendment , with the most enthusiastic cheering and clapping of hands . } The Mayor , hereupon , in a very presumptuously officious manner , p roceeded to take the vote for the original motion . His friends granted him his request ; they held up their hands , and manifested the "forlorn hope , amidst the derisive jeers and laughter of the rest of the meeting . The countenances of the repealers fell , and they "looked unutterable things / ' when they heard the Chairman , Mr . Schofield , and their leader , Mr . Cobden , declare that the amendment was carried by an overwhelming majority

      Waving of hats and handkerchiefs , clapping of hands , and loud and most enthusiastic cheering , followed this announcement . Three cheers were here proposed for Feargns O'Connor , and responded to most lustily ; then followed three forTrost , Williams , and Jones ; three for the Charter ; and three for the Northern Star . Three terrific groans were given for the Manchester Guardian ; and thus ended one of the most complete triumphs ever obtained by industry over cupidity—by honesty over trickery—by working ¦ men over the blotd sucking , grasping , grinding tyrants . {[ Hurrah ! for the " lads" of Manchester 11 ! flmraii ! Hurrah 1 ! Hurrah III }

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Marce 20 th . —Throughout tho week the demand for articles has been of a very inactive character , not exceeding the requisite purchases to supply the immediate wants of the trade , and the sales nude were at prices ia favour of the buyer . There was very little passing in Wheat at our market this morning , and although we do not vary quotations , the currency of this day se ' nnight was not supported . For Flour and Oatmeal there was only a retail inquiry for present consumption ; and the trade in Oats , Beans , and Malt was dull , without change in value .
