      THE PARLIAMENT . Work seems to have now begun in right earnest . The reader will find below the opening portion of Lord Stashope's speech , on introducing his motion : — " That this Honse do resolve itself into a committee of the whole House , for the pnrpose of taking into its most serious consideration the present condition of the Productive Classes of the United Kingdom , with a view ie providing for their photit able EMPLOYMEKT and ike improvement of their condition . " The motion ia an important one , whatever may be its fate .

      Mr . FerraM ) seems to have buckled on his armour afresh , to battle with the Leagued Free-Trading Oppressors of tho Poor . His speech on the " Address" gave evidence of that fact ; and what was then wanting to show his full intentions regarding the confederated band ef Freebooters , is abundantly supplied by the Motioh which he has given notice , that he will move in opposition to Mr . TiLLiERs ' s motion for another ** Extension" of our " Capital diminishing" Foreign Trade . That

      opposing motion is a tickler for the League men Let the reader note it well ! It is not often that motions containing so much truth , and evincing such indubitable proofs of conrage and standing up for the rights of the poor , are made in the House of Commons . The ** Debate , " when the motion comes to be discussed , will be an interesting one ! if the "forms of the Honse" wili permit Mr , Febrajtd to move it . It will be seen that the Speaker hinted that the terms of it should be eecoksidbsed I They are too truthful to be palatable .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thursday Feb . 9 . Their Lordships assembled at five o ' clock . Some talk" about ** Ribbonism" in Ireland took place , after which . Lord Stanhope brought forward the motion of which he had given notice on the

      DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY . On the order of the day being read , Lord Stanhope rose and said that he was aware that a humble iBdividual like himtelf , attached to no political party , had little hope or expectation of snpport in any motion he might submit . He did not consider the results of a Parliamentary inquiry as tho test of truth . Mr . Fox had declared that a minority of the House of CommoLs frequently spoke the public opinion truly , and that it was especially true with regard to the doctrines of free trade , which might ba acceptable to persons of fixed incomes , but they were odious and injurious to all the productive clas ^ e ? . Foreigners paying a much less amount of taxe 3 , were , ef course , enabled to

      furnish every article of produce at a much lower rate than the productive classes of this country . All the anticipations of Mr . Huskisson had been fulfilled by the event , aad while we had been decreasing our impon duties , other nations had wisely been increasing theirs . The last general election had pro-red that the free trade doctrines were odious to the community , for a triumphant majority had been reinrned in favour of the principle ot protection . He could iiardly have conceived that the promises then made would have been broken in the enduing year ; that se . many of tbose who had then crept into Parliament under false pretences would have shown such baca servility as would never be forgotten or forgiven . He thonght that the present Ministers

      were as . erroneous in their policy as the late Ministers bad been , and the conntry would have been in less da-ty * er if the late Ministers bad continued in office , for tiiey had not the power to carry their measure *; wheceas the present Ministers had that power . Ke tbougnt ihe change of Ministers , as it had turned out , was an esent deeply to be lamented , for the last ray of hope had disappeared that a change of Ministry would ha ^ ta been accompanied by a change of measures ; the vessel of the State bore a Conservative flag , bnt was steeriDg in a Whig coarse . He assumed that the conduct of the Prime Minister jaras founced upas conscrensions motives , bat he sbould wish tsknaw at what period it was thathe had arriysd at the conviction that the protection afforded

      to . agriculture was . excessive , and that it was necessary that that prediction should be diminished . He believed that the assalts of the late election had been . obtained by a £ r « 53 delnsipn . He believed that if the agricultural j ' xiiersK had been aware of the intentions of the leader of the Government with respect to the diainution of the pz&vection to British agricul tore , the result of that ek-tiion would have been entirely different—( hear , bfcaj * heaj ) . Bat let them consider tbe condition in sriiicii the country was now placed . He would intreat of iieir Lordships seriously to tuni their attention to tie lemarkable circumstances under which they bad Again assembled ., Consequences of the most alarming oature might be j naturally expected from a continuance of the distress ,

      in which the people were involved . Huudreds of ; thousands of our industrious population were suffer- i ing from a state of helpless destitution j and if such a state of things were to remain n . Trcmedied , the e , vil , there was but too much reason to apprehend , must ultimately end in a social revolntk'n .. Let them i take as an instance of the decline of the condition of our industrions classes the diminished vages now j paid to onr hand loom weavers . It appealed from j the Report of the Commissioners who hi . vi in- i quired into the condition of the hand-loom wearers , that in the beginning of the present century a ha nd- i loom weaver conld earn 26 a . 8 d . a week , while thv ^ y could earn in 1833 no more than 53 . 6 d . a week * and the condition of our population had . since the .

      year 1833 , become still more deteriorated . It would now be impossible to exaggerate the intensity of then- distress . He belieyed , on the contrary , that so far from haviDg be « n exaggerated , it had never been presented m coIoutb bo glaring as the reality would justify . He thought that much of the evil might be traced to over-production , and those alterations in machinery which threw thousands out of employment . The dangers of that over-production seemed to have been fully foreseen by a man whom he considered as a high authority upon the Buhject—be meant the late , not the present Sir R . Peel —( a angh ) . But the deep distress t ; which be wished to call the attention of their Lordships was felt not only by our manufacturing , bnt also by our agricul-

      Untitled Article

      tural population ., AH classes were embraced in the wide-spread evil . The value of property ia our Colonies had greatly decreased . He himself knew of two estates in the West Indie ? , formerly yielding £ 10 , 000 a-year , and novr allowed to go out of cultivation ; He could not help expressing on that occasion his condemnation of the present tariff , —a measure adopted with the utmost rashness , and Y ? HS a m&Bt reckl « sB disregard of consequences . —a measure which might be considered more revolutionary , not in its political , but in its social effects , than any that had ever been proposed . That measure had greatly diminished the value of agricultural produce , while it had not led to any revival of manufacturing prosperity , or to any alleviation of [ manufacturing distress . Under its operation we had admitted foreign agricultural produce , to tbe depreciation of our own , while foreigners had

      purchased less than ever of the products of British industry-: thus showing the folly of the main arguments , by which the measure had been supported .. He thought their Lordships had no right to paBS measures affecting the labonring classes , who were not represented in the other House of Parliament . To show the state of the country , in January last , he attended a vestry meeting , and there it wa ^ stated that there were forty-four labourers out of employment in the pariah . The farmers stated that thoy had plenty of work for them , but they had no means to pay them . It had been stated that twothirds of the landed property in Scotland had been blown to the winds already . This meant that it had been reduced two-thirds in value . He was no repealer of the Union , but he thought Irishmen were more indebred to him , or at least as much , as to the great agitator himself —( hear , hear ) . ( left speaking . )

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thursday , Feb . 9 . The Speaker took tho Chair at the usual hour . Mr . Fersand presented a petition from several persons working in coal mines in Scotland , assembled at a place in Lanarkshire . The petitioners stated that the amount of their labour was very unfairly weighed , and prayed that the weights mi ^ ht be taken at the bottom of the pits instead of at the mouih . The petitioners also stated that they were entirely at the mercy of their masters , and that hitherto their petitions to that House had always been met with inattentiou , although they were upon a subject of much importance to tho working miners of Scotland .

      Mr . T . Duncombe presented six petitions against Lord Abinger , from Hull , Norwich , Barnsley iu Yorkshire , Marylebono . Loughboroufib , and Newport , Iole of Wight . Tne petitions were all agreed ( o at public meetings . Tho petitioners stated that they deeply regretted and sympathised with the distressing state of the labouring population as shown particularly in the late outbreak in the Northern and Midland counties . The petitioners would readily admit that persons violating the law ought to be punished , but they thought that that punishment ought to be in proportion to the wrong mfl . cied on society . Iliey considered that the administration of justice ought to ba tempered with mercy , aad they thought it ought more particularly

      to be bo under the circumstances under which tho poor had Buffered during the last winter . They also stated * that there were many instances during the late special commission in which the sentences were very severe . Many individuals were tried at Chester and Liverpool , before Lord Abinger , whose trials , the petitionersconsidertd , hadbeenconducted with partiality , Thepetitioners stated that theRt . Hon . Lord Abinger Lord Chief Justice of tho Court of Exchequer , had delivered certain charges which thu petiiionars humbly represented to the House were highly improper as proceeding from a jud ^ e on the bench—charges which were of a political tendency , and calculated to

      prejudice , mislead , and excite the minds of the jury to whom such charges were addressed ; and the : petitioners therefore humbly prayed the House to institute an inquiry into the proceedings before the late special commission , as in their wisdom the . House might think fit ; and they further prayed that , should such inquiry substantiate the allegations of the petition , that the House would address Her Majesty that she might be pleased to visit James Lord Abinger with such a mark of Her Royal displeasure as would induce future Judges to support the dignity of justice by , impartiality , and keep it unsullied by party spirit aud rancour . —( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Walter gave notice that on Thursday week he should submit a resolution to tho House on the subject of tho New Poor Law * Sir V . Blake gave notice of his intention on an early day to call the attention of Ibe House to tho distress of the country and the operation of tUe sliding scale . Mr . Sharman Crawford gave notice that , on Thursday February 23 rd , he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to secure a full representation of the people , and to shorten the duration of Parliament . Mr , Ferrand postponed until the 16 th of February his motion for certain returns relative to the sale of paupers to a eotton-spmning firm ; and he also gave notice that he should move that a return of the number of idiots be also included .

      Mr . Fkrrand also gave notice of his intention to move as an amendment to Mr . ViUiers' motion for a total repeal of the Corn-laws , " that this House is of opinion , that a total Repeal of the Corn Laws , instead of diminishing the present depression of trade , and the dreadful sufferings of the working Glasses , would tend greatly to increase the shock lately given to all those whose modes of thinking , feeling , and business have been regulated by living under a wise and benignant Constitution , which has till lately recognized the rights of property , the protection of industry , and the just and equitable requital of labour ; under which great and extensive interests have grown up both in the apricultural , commercial , and manufacturing property of the country ; and

      that the preposterous conception of the present depression in trade being caused by the Corn Laws cannot have a place anywhere except possibly in the minds of a few among our own countrymen , hard pressed by the recent complications of commercial disaster , and predisposed accordingly to the most doleful imaginations , or of discarded Ministers , and greedy expectants of office . That a gambling principle has of late years entered into trade , which has been exhibited by the failure to the amount of £ 890 , 000 of the Mauchester Joint Stock Bank , known by tho name of ' the Bank of Squander ; ' aidad by the wholesale * immigration' of labourers from the Southern counties into the manufacturing districts , through the agency and at the express request of

      bomo of the Lancashire millowners , as is shown in their correspondence with the Poor-law Commissioners , wherein they undertook to absorb the surplus population of the South ; and that this gambling Eystem has widely extended the sharp and rapidly increasing sufferings of all classes in the manufacturing districts , enlarged by the breadth of the changes effected in our agricultural aud commercial system under the new tariff . That the sjstem lately introduced by many of the manufacturers in this country , of never recognising the principle that trade can only be healthy and prosperous when the supply keeps pace with the demand , has had a fatally paralysing influence upon all descriptions of trade , whilst the introduction of the power-loom and

      the combing machine have crippled to an astounding degree the industry of tho manufacturing operatives , placed their labour at tho mercy of their masters , and inflicted the most horrible sutferings on our high-hearted labouring population , byi forcing that competition among them foremploymcnt * which is already keen and restless , altogether ruinous and destructive . That the sudden and splendid opulence lately acquired by many o [ the manufacturers o ! this country has been obtained by denying to labour its jnst requital , by grinding down the operatives to the dust for the purpose of * equalising wages , ' by the swindling truck system , and by destroying manual labour by the introduction of steam machinery , which has rendered reckless so many labourers that heretofore had never quailed under

      misfortune , nor ceased for a moment to place their tru .-t , eo far as regarded human means , in their own dauntless spirit , their skilful fingers , and their indefatigable arms . That the period , foretold by the late Sir Robert Peel , has at length arrived , when the indiscriminate and unlimited employment of the poor has been , and is attended with effects so serious and aiainiiDg , that Jihey cannot be contemplated without dismay : tbat ibe machinery of our manufactures has been brought t » such perfection , that instead of being a blessing te j £ to nation , it has been converted into the bitterest cucsc ; and that as Parliament is omnipotent to proteet ^ . « p is it bound under the most sacred obligations to dei } tar the poor out of the hands of their oppressors . "

      Sir . R Ikglis , without giving any opinion as to the genessi merits of the proposed amendment , put it to the Hob , Member whether he would not withdraw one portion of it ? In hig ( Sir R . Inglis ' s ) opinion it was not becoming that House to stigmatiz 9 any trad-, ing firm as a " bank of squander . " He could not help thinking that it would be inexpedient to admit on their records any such declaration affecting the character of asy body of men . With any other of the topics he would not interfere . Mr . Fbrrand did not know whether he ehould be in order in offering any explanation , bnt the expression he had used was that applied to it by Mr . Grezg .

      Mr . Roebuck begged to ask , in reference to the motion , whether it was in accordance with the rules of the House , under the guige of giving notice of a moticn , to print a political pamphlet f—( hear ) . The Spkxkbb . was afraid that the notice of motion wa" < 3 not in accordance with the rules of the House . . He thought that the Hon . Member , in reading the notioe , would have seen that it was not the sort of notice that should be given . The Hon . Member would act wiseiy in withdrawing the notice , and reconsidering the terms in which it was couched . After some other trifling business , the He use was left debating on the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill .

      XiEEDS . —^ Deaths by Burning . —On Tuesday evening , two inquests were held at the Court Housj , before John Blackburn , Esq ., to enquire concerning the deaths of two persons , which had resulted from burning . The first was on the body of Mary Ann Greenwood , who was taken to the Infirmary on the 11 th of January , having sustained very considerable injuries ia various parts of her person by her elothes having caught fire . She was 19 years of age , and resided in Wortiey Lane . She is a married woman , and on the day mentioned , was standing by the fire in her own house ; a poker had been left in the fire , which had become red hot , and this she took out

      stirred up the fire , and accidentally touched her dress with it ; and set it on fire . She ran out of the house with her clothes blazing , and "was veTj much burnt before they could be extinguished . She died on Monday morning . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . "—The second inquest was on the body of Joseph Farrar , aged five years , who resided with his parents at New Town , and on Saturday last , by some mischance or other , sot his clothes on fire . It is rather singular that he also was playing with the poker at the time , and made it red hot , but whether he teet his elothes on fire with it , or that they came in contact wiih the fire in the grate , could not be shosvn . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . "

      Effects of the Wind . —There was a perfect hurricane in this town on Saturday morning last , from which some damage to property has been sustained , aud some providential deliverances from serious injury , or certain death , have occurred . The wind blew from th . ; north , and though it , had been strong daring the night , it raged with the most fearful violence , perhaps , between the hours of sevr n and ten on Saturday morning . Suveral trees were blown down , in various parts of tho suburbs , and slates and tiles innumerable strewed the streets and roads in all directions : whilo brick and stone walls , palliasading , &c , were levelled , in exposed situations , without distinction . We are happy to have to sav that no loss of life has occurred , but

      providential escape * innumerable . A large sign in Parklane , belonging to Messrs . Edwin and Birchall and Son , was blown down ; it fell upon a female who was pa-sing , but instead of tailing on her head , it caught her siae , down which it glided , and though she was stunned , and very much frightened , we are glad to say she escaped without further material injury . The most important accident we have heard of , occurred abuut the same hour , at tho residence of J . O . March , Et-q ., No . 18 , Blenheim Terrace , where a stack of chimneys at the rear , was blown down , and t ! ie falling bricka and stoues , falling on the roof , forced their way into a room on the second story , occupied as a nursery .

      the floor of which was luckily suffieicm ' y strong to bear the weight which was thus suddenly thrown upon it . I a the room were two children , who happened to be in the only corner which was protected , and who consequently escaped almo 3 t unhurt , one of them only sustaining a slight cut in the leg , from some of the falling materials . They were buth , as may bo imagined , greatly alarmed , but from this we are happy to say , they have now recovered , and are doing well . The weather has since moderated . West Riding Sessions . —By an advertisement in another column , it will bo seen that these sessions arc fixed to be held at Sheffield , on Thursday , the 22 nd , and at Wakefield , on Monday , the 27 ch instant .

      Death of a Poacher . —On Thursday morning last , about four o ' clock , a poacher , at Arthington , near Otley , from over exertion in the attempt to escape , expired in a few minutes after his arrest . Ho is low in stature , about twenty years of age , and had on a fustian jacket and trouseis and a light waistcoat . He was a resident of Leeds , but two of his companions , who are in custody , refuse to divulge bis name . CLAYTON . —Storm . —On Saturday last , the neighbourhood of Clayton Heights was visited by a tremendous storm of wind , accompanied with snow . A j : ood many windows were blown out , and several roofs were blown off . So fearful waa the 6 torm that the inmates left their houses for fear of their lives .

      Cheap Meat . —On Saturday last Mr . Walter Bentley , butcher , Norton , reduced his mutton to 4 d . per lb . The inhabitants of that place can now have good and wholesome meat at the above price .

      Grand Junction and Manchester and Birmingham Railway . —It is a , curious fact , that owing to the repeated ohanges . of carriages , and inoonvenience to the public therefrom , that numbers of gentlemen from Manchester prefer going the much greater distance round by the Manchester and Leeds , and even the Midland Counties' line , to taking the direct course on the Manchester and Birmingham and Grand Junction . —Railway Magazine . Desperate Attempt of an AcrRnss to Murder her Husband . —Nbwbury , Tuesday Evening , Feb . 7 th . —Throughout the whole of the day this quiet hule town has been in a state of great excitement , in consequence of its becoming generally known that a most determined attempt at murder took place on

      Saturday evening at the theatre of Mr . Oliver , Bartholomew-street , Newbury . On . inquiry , it turned out that whilst Mr . H . Cuthbert , the leading actor of the company , was standing on the stage at the close of the performances , on Saturday evening , he beard a scream in tho pit , and looking over the orchestra , saw Mr . Hall , tbe leader of ( he band , si agger , who , placing his hand to his back , exolaimed that he had been stabbed . He immediately jumped into the pit , when he saw Mrs .-Hall lyiog on the floor between the seats , bleeding from a wound in her hand . Imagining her husband had done it , be gave her in care of some one on the stage , and returned to the pit , when he found Hall lying across one of the benches , bleeding copiously from two

      frightful wounds , one in the back and another on the shoulder . The unfortunate man was removed to his lodgings in a very dangerous state , where he was attended by Mr . Hooper , a surgeon . On searching the pit a large pig knife , covered with blood , was found near the spot . On subsequent inquiry , it was ascertained that Mrs . Hall borrowed it a short time previous of a butcher in the neighbourhood . Jealousy has been assigued as the cause for tho rash attempt . Tho wretched woman has been ever since in a state bordering on insanity . She was formerly Miss Rogers , daughter of a provinoial actor , and has been but lately married to Hall . Mr . Hooper stated that had the wound been any lower in the back instant death must have ensued .

      Death From Starvation . —Oh Wednesday evening last an elderly female , emaciated , naked and starving , begged at the door of the Night Asylum for shelter and assistance . She felt unwell , she said , and implored admission . By a rule of the institution , it seems , the officers are not allowed to take any applicant complaining of disease or ill health—the poor woman was consequently turned from the door . Shortly afterwards one of tho watchmen found her in a dying state in Argyle-street—she was taken into a surgeon ' s shop , but was found to be beyond the power of the healing art . When taken to the offioe , it was discovered that her name was Janet Thompson , that she was a native of ArgyleBhire , had at one time followed the business of a House-servant , and had lately lodged in the New-wynd with a Mrs . Campbell , Individuals who saw the deceased when she was lifted from the street assert their full conviction that the poor creature died from the effect of starvation . —Glasgow Chronicle .

      Fresu Disturbances in South Wales . —Three threatening notices havo been received at Narbcrth " workhouse 1 " notice to the effect that unless the paupers have better food given them "Rebecca , " will attack the house . A mob assembled a few days since and destroyed tho Prince ' s gate . " Rebecca , " the commauder , who has now two officers whose ? ioms de guerre are respectively "Nell" and "Susan , " would seem to emulate the late Captain , Rock of the sister island ; for , besides the other threatening notices which we have mentioned , one has just bean received in this town ( Carmarthen ) breathing destruction to ail turnpiko-gutea on a parochial road ; and one by Water-street , on the old Newcastle Emlyn-road , is doomed for destruction . What is the

      most remarkable feature in this insurrectionary movement , though Jit present , perhaps , sot very . formidable , is , that neither the civil force nor military , nor the yeomanry , have been able , not only not to put it down , but even to succeed in apprehending a single offender . Thirty veteran pensioners went down from Carmarthen to St . dear's on Tuesday last , and a troop of Lancers are daily expected on the spot . Judging , however , from the past abortive attempts to suppress the lawless movemen ' , people are not very 6 auguine in their expectations of a speedy restoration of tho supremacy of tho law . Indeed , the Captain Rook-like proceedings in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire seem , from all we

      can learn , to assume daily a more threatening complexion . A correspondent says that , " at first the war was directed against the toll-gates only ; '' but that " now the workhouses are to be levelled also ;" and that" Rebecca" is a man of much influencesome persons say a " county magistrate . " Another correspondent informs us that " the individual who personates Rebecca is frequently replaced by another , and is not tho same on the night of each outrage . " It is not the least remarkable circumstance in this extraordinary movement , that when the troops appear in one part of tne county , "Rebeoca" invariably appears in another , perhaps , fourteen or fifteen miles distant . — Welohman .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thursday . In our various editions last week , we gave the debates in Parliament , on tbe Queen's speech ; the following is the conclusion , which appeared only in our latest edition : — Lord John Russell assured the House that he did not intend by his vute to offer any dissent to the address which had be ^ -n moved—( hear , hear ') . He agreed generally witb tbe statements contained in tbe Speech relative to foreign affairs , bat deprecated the proclamation of Lord Ellenborough wMub . he . denounced

      as paying the same respect to Pagan superstitions and the most gross ido ! atory , as if they were really the Christian religion . Tbe Noble Lord also commented fuily and freely upon all points of domestic policy , and attacked Sir K Peel on his adherence to tbe sliding scale ; and also on the fueling throughout the country on the sub j set of the Income Tax . He then alluded to the disturbances in the manufacturing distticts , and advocated the spread of education among the woiking classed as a means of counteracting the effects of which might be produced by " the harangues of mischievous demaeosapB . ''

      Sir Charles Napier , Mr . Wallace , Lord S ' . anley , Viscount Pajaieratoa , Sir Robert Inglis , Mr . ViUiers , Lord Howick . Mr . Hume , Mr . Ferrand , Mr . Ewart , Mr . J . M . Gibson , Mr . Brotherton , Mr . G . Brockes , Mr . Strgeant Murphy , Mr . Matk Philiippa , and Ciptain Pechell , afterwards took part in the debate . Tho proceedings were enlivened some little by a tilt between some of the Leagfre Members and Mr . Ft-rrand . When Mr . Villiers | v * as attempting to take credit for the hold tbe League have upon the pubHc mind from tbe " ticket meetings" lately held , Mr . Ferrand laughed . Thia provoked a keen observation or two from Mr . Villiers . After Mr . Home had spoken ,

      Mr . Ferrand said tbat if the Honourable Gentleman would I give notice of his intention , to discuss the question of free trade , he ( Mr . Ferrand ) would be prepared ! to join issue with him , to appeal to the country upon the different principles , and by the answer given by the people to that appeal he would bo content to abide . He agreed with the Honourable Gentleman that the labour of the working man should be protected . He believed it was hi # h time that the labour of the operative should-be protected , but that protection never would be obtained unless machinery were taxed—( opposition cheers , and hear , hear );! It was high time to cry "hear , hear , " when machinery had deprived the people of their daily bread . The workman Was commanded

      to live by the sweat of his brow , and machinery took away from him Jhe power —( hear , hear , from Mr . Villiers ) . Hear , hear , from tho Honourable Member for Wolverhampton , who gloried in the present application of machinery . The Prime Minister of England was cheered last session by Honourable Gentlemen opposite when he proposed his measures of free trade ; they said that as jfar as he went those measures would work for the benefit of the country . Had tney done so ? ( Opposition cheers . ) They came and told him , with great ingratitude , after he had been led away by their chejaring smiles—( great laug&ter)—and had taken their testimony and their great professions in favour of frfee trade , that they now found not only

      commerce more stagnated , but agricultural distress along with jit . Was the House to ? o along with them any longer in the professions they made ? D . d the country Jgo along with them ? Had they appealed to any great public meeting in the north ot England ? Had they aippealed to the masses 1 Had they not held their meetings , to which the audience were admitted only by tickets ? ( Cheers . ) Had not the majority of every assembly been composed of women ? ( Laughter . ) Were they the proper persons to judge of such a question as the Corn Laws ? They had been excited by the eloquent and poetioal overflowings of the Honourable Member for Boltou —( loud lajaghter)—but would they not have been botterj employed at home in their domestic

      duties ? He was glad that he could discuss those things in that House ia the presence of the Hon . Members , without fear of being bundled out ef the windows— ( cheers ) . There were two or three men who did attempt a discussion at those meetings . They bad the presumption to differ from some members of that [ House ; they wished to discuss the question on its merits ; they wished to tell the workmen that the Co ? n Laws never injured them . Honourable Members durst not listen to them , aud the manner in which these men wero treated stamped the Anti-Corn Law League with indelible disgrace —( cheers ) . ] Ths Hon . Member ( Mr . Villiers ) might say that thdy had the people with them . He ( Mr . Ferrand ) would be ready to meet and discuss the

      matter in any town in the north of England . Would they accept the challenge ? Mere assertions were only trumpery matters in these days . Let them come to the jproof . He would meet the Honourable Member for' Wolverhampton , the Honourable Member for Bolton , or any other Member conneo 6 ed with the Anti-Corn Law League in any town in Yorkshire or Lancashire —( hear , hear ) . He asked honourable members opposite whether the measures of the Ri fthi Hon . Baronet , though he-, d ; ffered from him with respect to many of them , had not caused a rednction in ! the price of food ? The price of meat had fallen from 7 d . to 5 d . and to ihi ; in the north the price of flour had fallea to a great extent ; oatmeal had fallen in the same proportion ; and

      potatoes had fallen from 8 s . 6 d . to 3 s . a load . The working classes would have benefitted by tfaisfalf if they had been allowed to do so ; but they were excluded from the benefit . What had been the conduct of the manufacturers towards those men who now expressed such anxiety for their welfare ? They were anxious to give the people employment . The people h&d had too much of that already . They wanted better wages . They saw the master manufacturers becoming possessed of enormous estates , and enjoying every luxury , whilst they saw tbe operatives sinking as their masters rose . Did any one member of the Anti-Coru Law League subscribe on * sixpence towards the relief of their d ' ttress I When the Queen ' s letter was sentdidany one member of tho Anti-Corn Law League subscribe one sixpence ? Ho believed that he did not . He believed that the manufacturers gloried in flu distress . He had lately visited the workhouse of

      Belper , in Derbyshire . He found tho inmates had been engaged in manufactures . He asked them why they came ; into the workhouse ? and they replied that they could not exist on their wages , they had been soireduced . He asked who was the owner of tho lands in tho neighbourhood ? and he was told " Mr . So and so , " a manufacturer ; and on this gentleman's ; grounds he saw notices of springs and traps , and not a tree grew in the fence row , that was not surrounded with a wall six feet high . There was a pl y intimation from the other side , that no person was ! prepared to meet the Anti-Corn Law League . He told them he was . Whenever they brought forward a motion he was ready to oppose it . He was now in possession of facts that would place the League- in a very serious position bfefore the country—( hjear ) . Let them come openly to a fair meeting , and they should soon be exhibited in their true characters .

      Mr . T . Ml Gibson took up the question mooted by Mr . Ferrand , and said : —If the Hon . Gentleman will go to Manchester I will ensure him a good hearing . Nay more , I will accept his challenge to argue this question before a large assemblage , not only of manufacturers but of working men . Mr . Ferrand : In public ? Mr . Gibson . Certainly , in public if you choose it : and I very ! much doubt whether the Honourable Gentleman ' s ; eloquence or his facts will persuade the audience that they have an interest in laws for making food scarce . So that , if this is not all shine we shall have " the meeting . " After each gentleman abore named had had his say , ;

      The address was put from the chair , and unani mously agreed to . The House adjourned at a quarter to one o ' clock

      Fellow Working Men , — WHEN Isent the Advertisement to be Published , whio ^ ] has appeared for the las t few weeks , and which states that I am willing to give four shillings to [ the Executive and one shilling to tho Victim Fund out of every one hundred pounds weight of beverage , I say , my friends , at thai time it struck me very forcibly that the Victim Fund

      stood much need of augmenting , and I think bo still . as you may see by their letter ; and I also think , if I may judge from appearance , that the country evinces but little disposition to support the cause of Chartism through the Executive , inasmuch " as neither myself nor Messrs . Crow and Tyrrelhave had much to add to thieir fund 3 for some weeks past . I therefore propose- that the whole of the five shillings per hundred pounds be given to the Victims' Defence Fund , and it shall appear as before in Mr . Cleave ' s Subscription List weekly , until the assizes are over , when we can make fresh arrangements as the tines

      may require ; Now , m y ] friends , it remains with the people , whether those men who have been made victims for no other crime than that of demanding justice at the hands of our oppressors be left to the clemenoy of a meroiless judge and a time-Berring jury , or whether they shall kave funds sufficiently supplied which will secure to them justice ; and we must remember that there is only a few weeks to raise the money in , and we should also remember , that we that are at liberty are only so because the law has not got hold of ujj , but that wo perhaps may have said and done » ore towards the downfall of tyrants than those whom it is our duty to support .

      I now leave ihe matter in your hands , and only have to say , ! that I pledged myself in 181 ° never to rest until vye were free—I never have nor ever will . Roger Pikder , Hull .
