MR . COBBETT'S RESOLUTIONS—THEIR REJECTION , AND HIS RETIREMENT . AliTSOUSB' alow to censer * , yet we hold the right to reason to he one of the most important prerogative * of the press . In the case of Mr . CoBBETT , with the proposal of his resolutions , ( had he allowed their fare to abide the rote of the majority , ) we * h « uld save had nothiag to do ; bat their Tejeetion baring produced the retirement of the mover , considerably alters the case . Had those seselstio&B pasted , they would have amounted to
suicide , asd all useful functions of the body were at-an e * d , Rare so far as the boldness of an individual might have set them at defiance . That any member has a perfect riyht to propose what measures he pleases , no person will demy ; but , in letter and in spirit , those of Mr . Cobbbtt would , ( if adopted , ) bare amounted , in the words of iir . Cardo , to a gagging bill . It it necessary , moreover , that the country shoal * be in possession of the fact , that Mr . Cobbett was chairman of a committee , appointed for the purpose of drawing up forms , rules ,
and KgalatMQs , for the management » f the Delegates ; ccweenentry , respect &r that committee , respect for the body by wh * m it was appointed , and respect far himself , as chairman , should have called fer a postpooemeat of hi * "batter part of valour . " Why * should Mr . Cobbktt have attempted to furnish himself with-that protection as an indi--ndual , which would have beea better doo « by the act of the committee of which he was a member . The assertion of Mr . Cobbbtt , that "he . had had many taunts to bear , of course , lor acting here at bo
all , " we- axe ^ ajte sore had influence on his mind However , if all who have stood taunts and reproaofces for advocating the cause of the people were -to be frightened from the field , poor icdeed would be die bape to whieh the distressed have attached-thenseiTes , and weak would be the maa who would desert the path of virtue , scared by the frwi of vice . Suppose that the conduct of Mr . Cobbktt was to form a precedent , what then would be our posme-n ? Why , that we should either , ia timidity , -rote generally together ,
apprebenshne of retirement , or else frequent desertions , fram wounded feelings , would speedily se thin our ranks , as to make -ns utterly impotent and useless to the people . W # regret the eourse which Mr . CeBBirr has thought it his duty to pursue , while we have that confidence in the people that every gap " made will be speedily filled up , and that our glorious cause will sot suffer damage , for want of redeeoration and repairs . Yorkshire requires ne more members—those who aave undertaken the trust discharge it honestly and xealously . ^

THE BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL AND THE CONVENTION . There appeared in last Saturday ' s Journal an article npon the present prospects of the country , as regards the National Petition , which created more tsrptise than alarm . The oae made by the Editor of the speech of CBirEX , with reference to the necessity of ~ * large number of signatnres to the Petition , was wily and injudicious ; and if not explained , might lead the country to the conclusion , that O'BfctXK , the " brave * of the brave , " accorded with the ulterior measures of the Journal , Tiz ., a prorogation of the Convention , with a view to the better organization of our forces . O'Brien used his argumeat exclusively in connection with the
increased power whieh nnmeronsry-signed petition * would give to the Convention , - » bilfc die Journal would apply it to the effect whieh it might produce upon the Heuse of Comswas . Is sot die Editor of the Journal aware that votes in the House of Commons axe in an inverse ratio to signatures ? Does be not know that while the Anti-Corn Law Petition of last year , which was only backed by 28 , 000 signatures , commanded nearly 100 votes , that Mr . Fiexoek ' s motion upon the Poor Law Amendment Act , which was backed by more than 500 , 000 signatures , couW only command 17 votes in a much
Jailer House ? Away then with your aamby pamby , wait-awhile measures . Away with your notion of disbanding a body , whose exertions are as yet untried , and whose efforts , if encoaraged , instead of being thus dashed , may ultimately lead to the accomplishment of our wishes . The Editor speaks of matter of which he is wholly ignorant : more than 90 , 000 signatures have been already received , and at present-tke- real increases '" ; but should our constituents be impressed widi a belief that trar first season ' s agitation is but experimental , and that misery i » to continue for another season , so far from aa iBereasei number of signatures , we
should bare bo Petitio * at all . The Journal admits that an abundance of money has been supplied , and money we take to be the besttest of principle , and the best determination to carry it eat . Will Mr . Attwood sad Mr . Fiblbkh hazard © w well won reputation by sanctioning such a step , asks the JettrnaL In reply , we ask , will Messrs Uibldbn and Attwood attempt to dictate to the Convent » a and the People P , They hazard nothing by th * attempt , while we shoald hazard evrrytluag by a serious delay . The Editor says thai we hart " no petition from Ireland . "' Did he tver contemplate asyv ? Had be any reason to hose fortbem . with tfceTrub
leaders opposed to the Petitwa and to the Charter ? We \* m inert the last paragraph of the article to which . refer .

The inflexibility of Hardy would kick against the continuance of that state of things , whidh , to bear for a moment , would be cowardice . Go home , Gentlemen , who may ; we will remain here , with those who aiv willing to abide the issue ; but we have not moral courage enough , we confers , to take back to the people the evil tidings that we have met and done nothing , and will meet again next year aad do the same . Delay tbe presentation of the petition if the country see fit , till the most has been done , but we will not undertake the office of watchman and hunter of other representatives to a spcond petition .
"We have been sent to ptrform a sacred duty , and we will do it this time . As the Editor of the Journal is also a Delegate , it would have been more decorously and seemly to have submitted his plan to the Convention , when it would ( if we judge rightly ) have earned with it tbe antidote to the poison , by the manner in which the Delegates would have handled it . People , do your work , aad we will do ours ; and the Convention will faithfully discharge its trust ; by the JournaPs ewn showing , we have signatures from all the fighting men iu the
kingdo in—what more dees- he want ? The petition is now signed by 200 , 009 mare than the whole constituent body which returns the members to the other House , and when we recollect that the Tory constituency doesnot encoder themselves represented , we may fairly infer that , our eonstitttenbi berog'onanimou * , we stand as six to one , because the majority of tbe House , that is , the "Whig partr , do not represent more than a email fraction of tbe country it large . No surrender . —No adjournment . —Nt trickt . — No Humbug .

THE DEBATE OK THE MOTIONS OF LORD BROUGHAM A 3 * D MR . VILLIERS ON THE CORN LAW QUESTION . Iy evidence had been wasting that the Corn Law Repeal agitation was a merely class-question , advocated for class purposes—that It has been , and still is , merely prosecuted with a view to the increase of the enormous wealth already aceums-Uted in the hands of toe Jeqrocracy , " out of the blood , bonev and sinews" of the labouring poor , abuadsnt evidence thereof has been furnished by the speeches of the vkrioui parties who figured as parties in the advocacy of the two
motions , which , during the present week have been argued before the two Houses of Parliament . If evidence had been wanting that tho « e Houses are so constituted , that however great and crying may be tbe evils they are called on to redress—whatever their effect on the great mass of society—so long as it seems to their purbb ' nd vision , that the continuance of the evils afford * sustenance to tbe vultures by whom the vitals of society are gnawed and torn , any application , however respectful , m » derate , or powerfully supported , will b * rejected with contumely , that evidence is furnished in the reception of those motions , in the two Houses .
On Monday last , Lord Brougham moved in tbe House of Lords , that certain petitions opou the Corn Laws be referred to a Committee , of the whole House , for the purpose of bearing evidence upon them . His ipeech en the occasion was as long as hi * speeches usually are , aad was- remarkable only for illogical conclusion * , drawn , by a process of artful and deceptive reasoning , from false
premises . Oae of his positions is certainly an unusual ene for a repealer to assume . He averred his conviction , that a free trade in corn would not be attended with * oy material lowering of the price . " Hemustconfesshedid not anticipate any very great cheapening of bread from whatever change might take place . " Now , if the e&cting of the repeal of tbe Corn Laws be not to effect a reduction . in the
price of bread , how are the people te be benefitted by it ? "Who want the Corn Laws repealed ? Not the landowners , as they are falsely styled—not the farmers , or agricultural tenantry ; but the manufacturers—tbe exporting manufacturers , who complain of- 'their inability to mett the foreigner in the markets , because of the advantage which he derives from the low price of food producing a l ow price of labour . ^ hy , then , do they want the Corn Law * repealed ? Plainly that , by a red action in Ae prioe of British labour , they
may be enabled to beat down die price of their commodity till they can drive the foreigner from the field , and so sa « tain die value of their export trade . The question , dien , assumes this aspect . Eitiier die Repeal of the Corn Laws will benefit the manufacturers or it will not . If it io benefit the manufacturers , it must be by a great reduction in die price of labour , aHd if a great redaction
is to be made in die price ef labour , and bread is to be cheapened very little or scarce at all bovi ^ * wch"benefit is likely to result to die labouring population from this Whig-Radical panacea for all d > eirills—a repeal cf tbe Cera Lavrs ? But how does tiiis argument of Brougham ' s square with the clamourous appeals of tbe Repeal-agitators general t to die working classes for their support P What becomes of die crack illustration of the
diree loaves—Russian , French , and Englishparaded on all their banners—wood-cutted - in almost dxeir newspapers , and incessantly pointed at by ill their gpouteru ? Are they preparedk-delibtsrately to conies . * dtat diey have practised a delusion and a . lie upon the people , for die carrying of a party purpose ? Has not d » eir contiuaal war-cry been" Cheap bread—cheap bread- cheap ' bread . ? " How , then , are die people to understand tiiem , wheft tbei ^ leader—he to wham dwy entrust d > e
management and conduct of their eaose—tells . « s , tbat be . dees not expect die effect of it to be a cheapening of bread ? andhow * rewe to reconcile dusposition . ofthe Noblfr Lord with big avowal in di » sai&e speech , "tbatwben be ( Lord Brougham ; found that at Odessa , In 1838 , tbe 41 b . loaf was sold for 4 dy , and in dus country for Sd ., he could not help dunking ttut some alteration of die present system wan necessary . " Bb . c / bgbam is , doubtless , a ckrer sort ef fellow ; but he commits a seal !

error when be sappow * that . everybody else Wtfti befools . No doubt his " confession" that he did net expect the Repeal of the Corn Laws to be followed ky a cheapening of bread , was Intended as a sop to the agricultural dragon whom he hoped duiB to conciliate by a little bambooilement . The reply of Lord Stanhope , and the decision of the House , showed him hU mistake .
There was another point in Brougham ' s oration of which we cannot lose night , an attempt to build'& genera ] argument on die failure of an individual speculation . In 1831 , when the price of corn wax 73 a . per quarter , a mercantile bouse of Newcastleon-Tyne , had imported corn to the value of £ 100 , 000 ; previous to its arrival , circumstances hid caused a deerease in the price of corn , the ports were shut , and 4 h » speculator was ruined . Now this was really as contemptible a prop as a bad argument need wish to repose on . In order to shew diat this case had any bearing on
die general operation of Corn Laws to . the injury of the country . Brougham should have shown that dri * mei chant intended to bring in this £ 100 , 000 worth of foreign corn for die benefit of the whole country , by bringing . down tbe price , and that tbe Corn Laws prevented bis" dpiffg go . But did he offer any proof of this ? No such thing . He admitted that the whole cost of the foreign corn to the merchant , freight included , wan 47 s . a quarter , and that he intended to sull it in the British maTket at 73 s ., which would l have enabled him out of the famishing condition of the
poor , to met something more than £ 50 , 000 , and , in proof that his purpose was the gratifying of no other propensity , but that gnwping rapacity which is die essential characteristic of his " order , " finding Corn lower in price , he refuses to sell a single ounce unti ! the whole is spoiled and > cannot be sold at all ; chusing rather to rob his creditors especially , and die country generally , by beceming a bankrupt , and not paying even a shilling dividend than te sell bis com at a reasonable rate . The whole affair was one of those reckless gambling speculations by which tbe base and unprincipled enrich themselves out of the "blood and
sinews of the poor—it failed—failed deservedl y ; and because thw gambler was " baulked in his intention of pilla ging die country , Lord Brougham asks for a revision of our whole system of monetary and commercial intercourse . So much for die principle which forms die staple of Lord BaocGHAU ' s attack on die Corn Laws . The whole burden of Mr . Villiers ' s story is of a like character . Foreigners are enabled to beat us out of their markets because of the increased cost ef our . manufactures through die operation of tbe Cora Laws , iu enhancing tbe pmte of food . Speaking of America he says — / " We Ux « ar raw cotton , » nd eahanre tb * pti « e of floor , & vast amount of wVich ia . wed in the oiauulitctura , and by our Com Law * wnder the to » t of living jtre » ter than in anr other country in the world . Now , let u «« x » mine thcr « t »! U . Sachha * bent the atrkle that the cotton manobctore made in that couatrr , that Ae . connmei as much nsw as we did La 1816 , and hasbeen increaaiag iu » gnnter ratio ttian ouraalTOH in tV » proportion of 65 to 40 per cent . We tmyloy about 1 M , OOO power Worn *; aha has na « r , from » report made U Congreta , about 50 , 000 chiefly a « vot « 4 to the coarser fabric * , which ia about the number we nave ourselves . "
• Now , die argument Mr » Viilierb would draw from this is , that die Americas artizao caa produce cheaper than we can , because he pays less for Corn ; hut no allusion is made to the amount of taxation , of debt , * nd of extravagance « jore unbounded than can be paraHeWa in th « ^ hole world , ob die part of a' few worthless drome * fo the xucial hive of this country , and of whom America knows , nothing . No allusion / is-ij * 4 e to the fact that THESE A » H ALL r * HX WT OF ths LaBotJRrR ' B pocket , benides paying for his bread—and diat is solely because the American
labourer is exempted from these taulctatioBs of bjs income , that her manufacturers are enabled to produce as cheaply as we can , though paying a higher rate of wages . Not a word of allusion is made to die fact , tbat though the English labourer may be beaten down to die Continental and Swiss ratio of wages , he will still be compelled te bear the EngUuh load of taxes , and tiius tiiat with cheap bread and heavy taxes , and an income proportioned to tbe price of bread widiout reference to taxation , he will be compelled to dwindle out a wretched existence ; labouring for the benefit of others , and deriving no profit from die work of hie « wn band * . The whole tenourof all diespeeehet in support of
bod > motions Tras , as such , speeches always are , to show- die- - necessity of increasing the wealth and revenue * 6 f the profitmongers " , &h « labourers being regarded solely as die &struicfc&t » by whisJa it it is to be accomplished . Taken in its best point of view—granting for the argnment ' s . eale what w « deny in fact—diat the labourers would not be made worse in their cenditioo , bj s repeal of the Corn Law * , widiout aa entire revhnon of our whole * y « tem of politics preceding it —ths wboltf question i * simply one between the M « at ? ford « and the Landlord * . Finding themselves ttaable to extract mare-honey from die btes , they , the money-lordg , fall foul of their brother drones .
We have written thus in the assumption diat die ulterior object of die parties was the repeal of tbe Corn Laws , but we haye no reason from the nature of the motions diemselves to conclude that they had any such intention ; or any intention at all beyond that of occupying time till the people could be drawn from the objectof their ju « t and rational pursuit—die Suffrage . —The motions were not for any specific purpose as regards the Corn Laws , but to hear evidence at the bar of the House , of dieir operation , as though that - operation were not as familiar to every mind . accustomed to look and think , as it is possible for anydiing to be . And before what sort of a tribunal was this evidence ta
be tendered P Before « ne which had already prejudged die question . Ond whose character for attention to die important matters which pome before it for determination , is thai described by one of its members , Lord Howick , of " killing and burning" notoriety . Speaking of the hearing of evidence , die Right Hon . Lord says"Did the Hon . Member think diat when he had obtained diat for which he moved , and when the House was ia committee and die _ witnesses were being examined , that he-could compel the generality of Members to attend to die evidence ? That he
could compel them to sit there , and not to sit only , but to sit and listen to what was proved ? No doubt while great excitement prevailed upon the subject , and it wa » made a matter of 8 erion » debate on both sides of the House , there night be expected three or four divisions as to whether tbe' Member ;) for tl . e manufacturing or the agricultural districts shoald have a priority in reasoning the witnesses ; but after diat excitement had ceased , did he diink diat it was likelj that Members would continue to sit there , calmly and patiently , inrttsdvatiiig a subject of a siufiularly coajelei and difficult nature ?
Wiufe the House was in the state of excitement which fie jfim describ e d , was it likely that the 'evidence ' would have much weight in eulifhtening tit * ' things of Honourable Membeis on raca &n abstruse sabjeet of political economy ? He thought duct t ^ e House must agree diat it mnti entiicly tail In doing so . Then in a few days die examination woeld' pass with a sort of uncertainty of Btaaiieirfiipt its toe arguments , and then ifl tbe exarn » atii » fll ' witnesses ; and thin , eventually the inquiry wduW go : on in the sam « mode in whici sneh investigations , were conducted up stairs .

Let our readers ponder over diia description of the House of their Representative *—let them remember that it is given , in ths House , by a distinguished member , and known to be bo palpably true , diat out of almost 600 Members p resent , not one ventures to contradict it—and , then let them congratulate tb « m 9 elve « on tlieirf $ < jf > A sense , in having testified by their maaly resolutions , that to petition such House wan' an' abdurd farce -a farce , the absurdity of _ whtch , ii' abo . wn iu npthjpg petVP 8 more forcibly , than in die rejection of Brguoham ' s motioB by the LordU without division at all , and the rejection of Villiebs ' s motion in theConirnons , by ajiiajorityof 189 .
