      LONDON . — Political a > d Scientific Institute , 1 , Ttr&KAeAiN-LAUE—On Sunday-evening Mr . IK * . « addreaKd a crov / ded meeting in a most able and eJcq ^ fut » ddrs » , and elicited great applanse . Messrs . Martin . Cowan , Skeltoa , Osbaroe , Maote , and Miss "Waiier also addressed the meeting , and the proceedings wet * - prolonged until a late hoar . X early £ 2 was collected during the day , at the above Hall , towards defraying the expenses of the conspirators . " Giosiors Defeat OP THB Lkagck . —A public r oeei .:, g of the League , to petition Parliament for a repes of tie Corn Laws , was called on Thursday eveniB * "i the Hall of the Workhouse , Grey ' s-inn-lane , H ^ it' - 'n . Messrs . Panoombe and Wakley were an ~ i usced to be present . The bills announcing

      ftemeetir-S were not ported until WedresdsTTnorntog , and the Chartists had previously billed the whole of the Metropolis , announcing a meeting on Kensington Common , to tike into consideration the disgraceful conduct of the league at the Horns Tsvern . X ¦• twithstanding this conrter attraction , the Hall of the Workhouse was crowded with men of the ricfat stamp long before the proceedings commenced . Shoi'Jy after seven o ' clock , tb ^ Secretary read a letteT of apology for Mr . Wakieys Don-.-tttBdaDce , on the ground of ill health , and propose . ; that Mr . Milce should Uke the chair . Mr . Wl' -eter proposed , and Mr . El « -ards seconded , that Mr . Ba ! ls be elected chairman . The Secretary then put Mr . Milne to the meeting , about twenty hands were held up , and Mr . Milne took his station amid the

      groins and disapprobation of the meeting . Messrs .: Wbecler . White , and others , protested against such unfair conduct , and demanded that the amendment &bou : d be put t © the meeting . Just at this period , Mi- T . Danoombe armed , ani was greeted j with the most tremendous applause . Silence being rasi' red , the amendment was put and was supported by thousands of blistered hands . —Mr . Balls , on taking : the cc air , explained he was averse to petitioning a Par- ¦ liament that had always treated them with scorn and j eontempt—The cries for an adjournment bow became so pressing , that the Chairman , in spite of the remon- stracce of the Committee , agreed to it ; and the large weii . house yard , the surrounding ¦ walls , and every por- ] taon of the building were speedily occnpied . Many

      remained in the room , including the majority of the Corn Law gaits . The steps leading to the ball served for an excellent rostrum . Candles and torches were ' speedily procured ; toe windows were crowded with ¦ the poor alms-women and workhouse children . The ; young moon shed her calm light on the faces of the sons of toil , and contrasted well with the glare of the torch and the gas in the building . —Order being re- j stored , Mr . Balls briefly addressad them , demanding a j fair bearing for all psrties , ictr calling upon the ! Leaguers to proceed with their resolutions . These gectl- men , anxious as- they pretend to ~ be in enlightening the public mind , declined taking any part in the proceedings . —Mr . Bolwell , in a spirited address , gave a severe castigation to the Lesgus party , and concluded by '

      moving a resolution expressive of their determinatien cot again to petition Parilament for any minor measure of Bcform , but to persevere in their agitation for the Peoples' Charter . Mr . Q . White , in a powerful and humourous manner , Beconded the resolution , and exposed the flimsy Teil of philantrophy under which the league were anxious to cloak their proceedings , and during a long address was greatly applauded . Mr . Saul , of Man cheater , who attended as a deputation from the anti-Corn Law League to the meeting , next addressed them and received a calm and patient bearing . His arguments wen of the usual common-place order . The only part of his address at all popular was , that wherein he declared that he never was afraid to trust himself before a meeting of working men being

      well convinced thtir desire was for argument and not for clamour ; this contrasted -well with the m ' eau con-¦ dc- -f ^ oronawavs . The resolution was carried wi th four oiaaen ; - ¦ '« =. Mr . T l > uncombe next addressed the immense ass : *; *•"•«• and was long and loudly cheered . He commenced b > -nting that since he had had the honour of representi : = Finsbury in Parliament , he had Considered it one of n - moet important duties to attend mny public meeting of Uie inhabitants or electors , and ascertain their senti-sents upon any great public grievance , sad nothing gave him greater pleasure than to aid in removing- that grievance ; he was highly pleased with the nlecce and attention they had given to the gentleman who had hat addressed then oa behalf of the Anti-CoraL » wL « Bgne ; nothing had fallen from that gent .

      with which any one had reason to complain ; they were ¦ tailed then thai evening , and he hsd received an invitat ion , to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn Lsws . After all he had beard it did not appear to him that there vumccb difference of opinion on the subject of a repeal of the Corn Laws , but enly on the means to be adopted to rid themselves ef them : not one of the speakers had advocated those laws ; they had only expressed their opinion that the ahortert way to repeal them was by a reform of Parliament Their resolution stated that they woud not do the House of Commons the honour of petitioning it As a member of that body he did not think they had altogether come to a wrong conclusion ; their petitions had hitherto been treated withEndigaity and contempt .

      The petition he had presented last session , which was justly tensed a national petitien , signed by upwards -of three mfllions of persons , —that petition itself demanded a repeal of the Com Laws . It also enumerated the established church and other grievances , but the prayer of it was for the BuSngB . The resolution be proposed to the Honse was that they should hear the friends of the working class at the bar of the House in support of it * prayer . That petition was rejected . His resolution was rejected by mine-tenths of the House , when at the dote of that evening it was stated that if they wjected that petition they would have another sent them signed by four or five mOlions . He stated in his place in the Home that they might petition if tfcey thought proper , but he

      would be no party te their further degradation . With rwird to the Corn Laws , all rational men agreed upon their iojaitiee ; it would r » an insslfc to their understandings to dwell npon that All had been said and had been written and done that could be said" or done ; as far as argument went the question was settled ; why then was no * that measure carried ? It was because the House of Commons was not identified with the people . Sir Hubert Peel , by the Canadian Bill , then before the House , might fritter away the question , and by an underhar d measure repeal the Corn Laws ; but he should w ; sfe to see that measure carried by the honest will of the representatives and not by trick and chicanery . The repeal of the Com Laws would now be « ffscted by the people of the United States , through the

      BEderhand mtdium of the Canadian BilL If they had ¦ ome to tha determination of sending a petition , it would have been his dnty to present it . They had come to a different eondmion , and he did not think they had done wrong . They deserve that you shonld treat the majority of that House with the contempt they have often treated you . The attainment of the franchise to a duty they owed to themselves and to their country , and be believed they would never enjoy happiness » r prosperity until they had obtained thoae righa to which in his « oaadeEoe h % believed they were entitled —{ cheering ; . —A vote of thanks was unanimously given to Mr . IDnncombe , who left the meeting amidftt ranch approbation . —Mr , Leaeh , who was loudly ealled for , aext addressed the meeting , and in a masterly maaaei exposed ti » fallacies of free trade , and dared its advocates to public discussion . Mr . Saul attempted to reply to Mr . Leach , but weak in voice and

      weaker in argument , without either originality or I aaergy to recommend him his failure was complete . ! Mr . Leach , in conelusion , went into the question of i machinery , and , in an eleqDent and energetic manner , proved that political power vu the first requisite for ! ti * happiness of the people , and that free trade in corn sunk in eompar \ tive nothingness wk-en pnt in competition with the rescuing the sons of toll from the thraldom of demi-god capitalist * . Mr . Julian Hamey j having bees ealled upoa , addressed his eld companions , the men of London , and congratulated them upon the ¦ victory they had achieved . He concluded by moving a < Tote of thanks to the chairman . Mr . Arran _ seconded the j motion , which was unanunonsly carried , and the meet , ing dispersed with cheers for the victims , the Charter , O'Connor , the Star , it This meeting was not only a terrible defeat to the League , bnt served also a Charit- ! able purpose , as subscriptions wert entered into and i given to the poor workhopee inhabitants i

      A Large Opes-aib Public Meitiks was held « n Wednesday evening at the Terminus of the Great Western Railway ; Mi . G . White addressed them fur upwards of an hour , and was loudly applauded . TJpwards of one hundred persons pledged tbenselves to join the localities in the vicinity , and great good was j effected . White then took a cab and proceeded to ' addresa a public meeting at the 8 aloon , Shoreditch , ! where a large audience was assembled , who received Mr . White with great applause , and were highly delighted with his humourous and instructive discourse . XKKSiKGToaComiOK . —Large public meetings were held on Thursday and Friday evenings , which were adnsed by Mean . White , Brow * , Hamey , Railtoo , and others , and great enthusiasm was exhibited .

White— " That this meeting , being advocates of free inquiry , views with feelings of regret and disgust the conduct of Mr . Warburton and the Corn Law League at a meeting held at the Horns Tavern , Kennington , on Monday , May 1 st , for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for a repeal of the Corn Laws as the most tfficienC remedy for removing the existing distress amongst the working classes , and orer which meeting Mr . Warburton presided as chairman . ''—Mt . Keen moved , Mr . Doyle seconded , and Mr . Parkes supported the resolution : — " That this meeting , doubting tile sincerity af certain persons forming the Association called the anti-Corn Law League , and believing that no permanent benefit can result from the repeal of the Corn Laws , or any other law that operates

      against the welfare ot the working classes until the whole people have a voice in making the laws which they are compelled to obey , do hereby pledge themselves to use every exertion in their power to cause the People ' s Charter to become the law of the land , as the bust , safest , and only method of banishing misery and distress , and seenring universal happiness and content' * Messrs . Dver , Rainsley , Parkes , Harney , and White supported the last resolution as follows : — "That this meeting , deeply sympathising with the wrongs perpetrated by the Government against the noble band of patriots who have boldly advocated the poor man ' s rights , and who have been this day called np for judgment , do hereby pledge themselves to support them through all difficulties and dangers ; and , in the event of their being imprisoned in consequence of such conduct , that we will imitate their example , and go and de likewise .
