Poor fools , they had not ! the discernment to see that the event was just what the majority of the Chartists wanted . They -did not i Tote for Mr . Williams , knowing that he could be more ; serviceable to them in another capacity . ! Dr . Baow > " then came forward , and , amidst cond- ;
derable interruption , repeated the usual quality and quantity of " League" matter , " which the " lads" j received amidst hisses , cheers , and loud laughter . : BesxaBD Ogdes , Esq . next moved a resolution , ! embodying the opinions of the Repealers , deprecating ! the existing Corn Laws as k ^ d in principle , injorious in operation , ic * : A . J . 2 IO 0 BE , Esq . seconded the motion , and tra- j relied again over the ground already traversed by Dr . ; Brown . I The CHAIE . MAS having enquired if any other gentle- ! man wished to address the meeting en the motion ,
Joh . v Joseph Weight , Esq . presented himseJf , and i was received with a burst of applause , intermingled ; ¦ with hisses and groans . The real tumult of the very j crowded meeting now began ; for though it was evi- \ dent Mr . Wright had a great majority in his favour , a j -Considerable nr . mb . er of persons "vrere so vehement and j persevering in their tfforta to drown his voice , that ; only a few broken sentences reached the body of the room . Even Mt . " WiUiiias endtaveured- to get the speaker a quiet heariDg in vain ; and in order that his words might not be -wholly lost , Mr . Wrijht several times turned right rousd wUh his hack to tue Chairman , zis-a-vis , and once or fwice , we thvught , personally ; ¦ vrhHit he flung his bjdy backwards and clapped his hands , as if -under great excitement ; but when he ever and acoa turned round to the
heaving and shouting asssmriage , a lurking smile furtively glanced across his features , beU'kening that te had a perfect relish for the scene before him . — The crush at the high end of the room , in front of the platform , was tremendens daring Ms aidress ; and all parties gaTe vent to terms of Liipatience before its conclusion—the natural consequence of total inability to hear . For ourselves , we are constrained to s / iniit—such was our unenviable position in the melee—that even if Mr . W . had been ptrf-C . ly audible , we could have given no connected report , of his speech ; our reporting arm being engaged , doriiig neariy the whole time , in staving off the " pressure fruni ici' Jrin " against the window frame , if the strenz'h of ^ hich had
once been overcome , some half dozen of us must Lave been precipitated into the street , -where hundreds , attracted by the noise , seemed waiting to-break our fall- In all our experience , ~ we never endured a tighter jamming ; and it is rather strange that our two severest reminiscences in this way are both of them assuciated with elections in the borough cf Snnderiand . Pincfcvii and crushed as we were , however , we could . Eot refrain from laughing at the scene presented on the piatform . over the excited gentlemen occupying which -was the venerable figure of Father Mathew ( many of our readers will have seen , it ) raising his am , and . pleading the cause of terspensee in vain . Bui to return to iir . "Wright , and what he said , as well as did , on the occasion . We understood him to remark , that whatever
opinions tfcey might individuaJly hold on the C ^ m ia S tLeni together ? Did They merely want their a ; - ! to
Laws , as doubtless , in that lar ^ e assemblage , diffdrecces must prevail on so important a subject , he thought there c-uid be bat one feeling as to tho time and tbe eireunisiancea in which this question was now brought before the country . He denied that any man -with a particle of common sense , unless he did so wilfully , could resist the coavie' . ion of b . 13 own mind , that in promoting the present movement her Majesty ' s grasping Ministers had no other intention than to bs able to retain their hold of office . ( Loud cheers and hissing , « That's the truth , " " Down with the Tories . "' ) Therefore , he said the question before that meeting was not whether the present Com Laws should be continued or abolished ; but the question tu this { I ' , was impossible to catch the words during the uproar , but the purport will be understood . ) The subject had
been brought forward ta gull the "people . ( " Aye , but they wanX" ) It was thenth ! tint by it this wretched Ministry might remain in office , and longer plunder the revensts of the country . £ Great cheering and nproar ; every bxly that could do bo having now moanted the forms that vrere towards the bead of the room ; anl thus blocking up > the view of those behind , the la : ter pressed forward , j and caused the extreme crush above referred to . In . one of the " sways , " bo well known to those who j have mingled in large masses at public meetings , two 1 or three individuals fell under-fc-et , and were got up with diSculty . And we fear " mine- host" of the Temperance hotel would find s « ndry articles of househeld : furniture not quite so shapely after , as before the meet- ing—if any faith is to be pat in the probable effects of ,
thecr . isbes which occasionally , about this time , reached our ears . ] The question was <« aid Mr . Wright , when yre nex : esught a sentence ) not -whether the Corn LawB shoald be repealed—ihocgb as to . the several subjects of corn , sugar , and timber , it was very desirable to have « m amicable , honest , and permanent settlement—but , whether the people would continue to be doped by the present ministers—by the most worthless and incompetent ministry that ever "held the reins of government . i-Grt&t heering , h ' mrng and numberless aoonds , for which we are aware of no vosabnlu-y that would furnish &s with names . ) He aeke 4 them , if that ministry hid not truckled to every party , and
basely deserted them all ? Xot content with oppressing , they had iasnlted the poorer classes ; first turnfug them oat of the&r homes , and then immuring them up in Union workhouses . ( Cheering and cries of " Oh . " ) la reply to some question from the platform , we underatood Mr . Wright to Bay , that he did not come there as a friend of the present Corn Law , but as one favourable t « a nioderate fixed ^ uiy . He concluded by moving an amendment , of which we gathered the following to be the anbitance . Believing tint the Administration have put forward the proposed alterations in the duty ok foreign corn , in connection wiih the sugar and timber duties , fcr the Bole purpose of raising an excitement in the country to enable them to remain in office , and to aaist them \ n keeping their plaees ; and that they have proved themselves incapable of earrying on the business of the country , with advantage to tL& community at large : therefore , this meeting , though anxious to see these important questions speedily and equitably set-Bed , decline taking any step , by petitioning or othervise , on the present occasion . * ' ; Mr-Potts ( we understood ) seconded the amendment , i and did his best to keep np the excitement which Mr . I Wright begun . He said , hs came there to defeat hum- ! bug , fcr ce felt convinced that nothing else was tt the \ bottom of this meeting , r . s well is nil throughout the i proceedings of the present Government . Mr . P . looked ; rtttly indignant whenever he met with any iiiterrup- ; ion .

around , ) t little Irishman—wh « at ftrrtnww he -would five a shilling to get oat of the row ( so fcot-p rasing was it even to Paddy ) , and at last shouted most bountifully in praise of Binn * and Williams—mac" re a remark which we think worth noting . Some < me was crying out against Mr . Potts as a T « ry ; - \ Fhen the Irishman quietly exclaimed—'' By the power i , honey , if you want to make a Radical of -him , take all the money out of his pockets ; and if yom . have any notion t-of waking m Tories , give us plenty « C money . " We [ pledge ourselves to the accuracy of this statement ilx . Potts bavins concluded ,
| | Mr . Binns next came forward , s » d was welcomed with a tumult of approbation , wbkh continued for -some minutes . The wedl-knowa theatrical cries , " Down In the front , " M bata oC , " now resounded from the back settlements ; and Mr . Binns having waved his hand , with delicacy and grace , down sank the mass , and rewaia&d as still as if it had never been in a fermeat . W-e were reminded of -Scott's description of the silent dismissal of his mountain force that so suddenly and alarmingly bristled-up in arms before the knight of Snowdon , and vanished in a moment at a wave of their leader's baud , leaving nothing but a bare bill-side to -to the view . And so each Chartist might say of Bias * , as was of old said of Coriolanus , that he " Dismiss'd me Thus , with his speechless hand !" JThe meeting was now cool a » 4 comfortable , and Mr . Binas proceeded at length to address the company . The
| gist of bis argument w&g , that every Chartist admitted the evil of the Cori . Laws , and wanted them abolished ; but they wanted , further , to have a security that when they were removed from the statute book , they should remain removed : and this was on ! y to be effected by civing the people a voice in making the laws—in short by adopting Universal Suffrage , and allowing the Charter to supersede the Corn Laws , as part and parcel of the law of the land . He proposed , as a second amendment , — " That this meeting is of opinion that the Corn Laws ought to be totally and immediately abolished ; but that it is nevertheless oonvinced there is no possibility of getting these Corn Laws repealed , except by the means which are laid down in the People ' s Charter : that we wiil pledge ourselves to unite with those good nvn and true , who have unfurled such a glorious battle-flag among our masses ; and thnt , on every occasion , we will enforce the sublimity of our principles , and struggle for them to the end . " The conelusion of the resolution was received with tremendous
cheering . Mr . WlLUAMS seconded the motion , and was honoured with an equally warm reception . He beifan by trusting U » ey would recognize no party there , but discard from their minds every sectariaa feeling and prejudice , and-consider the question solely with reference to its beariegs on the interests and prosperity of the whole people . The original resolution , he observed , affirmed that the existing Corn Laws ought to be repealed . In that ail men agreed . But if this was to fee accomplished how could it best be done ? and if done , what regulation , any or none , ou ? bt to be substituted ? These were -questions which ought then to be answered . There was no necessity for , no advantage to be derived , from delaying , till a future occasion , the
consideration of the means . In proportion as a csse was made out against tne Corn Laws , in that proportion did the anxiety increase respecting the best means of securing their repeal . This question must then be be entertained . Mr . Binas ' s amendment embraced both the evil and the remedy ; there might be a difference of opinion respecting the latter ; if so , that was the strongest reason why the sul jret should be discussed , to remove the difference . Sa long as a division so extensive as at present existed upon this subject , meetings and petitions for Corn Liw Rapeal could be productive of no effect . Only by unity of action could they succeed , and this -unity of action must spring from unity of opinion and common principles . He asked what were the remedial means ? That was the
practical , pressing question . Their original resolution waa silent upon this subject Mr . Wright ' s amendment expressed opinions respecting the motive * of the Ministry in their present reforming motives , in which he entirely and unreservedly concurred . ( Hear , hear . i He could cordially assent to every word of Mr . Wright ' s resolution ; because he felt certain the existing Administration had brought forward the measure , not to promote the -welfare , or to Tedress tne grievances of the people—not to secure the working classes cheap food and good wages , but simply to bold place and power a little longer . ( Great applause ) These acclamations proved that such was almost the unanimous feeling of this meeting . He was convinced that not a former friend of the ministry on lhat platform would dissent from the terms of this resolution . ( Cheers , and laughter . ) He only wished he b »< l Lords Melbourne ,
Russell , and Normanby there that night , that they might see how their early admirers no longer held countxion or boasted affinity with them . If this -wuul < l not prove to them how , by their systematic abandonnicnt of all principle—by their treacherous treatment of tbe people —by their defiance of every principle -which thty came into office pledged to support—( loud cries of Question . " * ' Order , " hissing , arr . i cheering loud and long , followed by the remarks , uttered in a tone of grs .-at satisfaction— " The pride of Suntierland "— " Hadaway , my canny lad ; " )—if . be said , this was not sufficient to convince them that their glory was gone , that their power was departed , and that a plundered , an insultea , and an outraged peop ' e ha 4 for ever uttered the fiat of tLeir condemnation , and wished their hands of t ! . e <<\ entirely , he really did not know what could briug them to a sense of their degraded condition . He would now undtrtsko to snow that Mr . Bhias ' s
amendment was the only one deserving their support . It was the only terms of union which the mas ^ . ui wuiiM recognise , the only condition on which they would tender their support , and without their unanimous and enthusiastic support Corn Law repeal could never be carried . When they ithe Corn Law repealers ) came forward with -what they called tbe question of questions , and submitted that to the people , what did they mean ? did they net by such an act recognise the ability of the people to understand it ? If the people were not able to understand it , why aid they w-iste their own time , talents , and money , in addressing them , or
in circulating their publications a ' . iicBgst thvm ? Were they performing a farce before the people , or engaged in an honest , rational agitation ? If the people had the ability to understand the question of questions , surely they would ba quite capable of understanding and settling the minor questions . He aaked tb-etn to come f jrward and tell that meeting which they ha 1 called together , wbiit reason they had for ref aslc ^ j the m their franchise -who had the ability to underst . ' . mi the Corn laws , and were -willing , on iair terms , to aid them . They could not—they dare not tel ! the assembled ihousiikU that they were incapable for , or unworthy of , poUiiCil freedom . What did thty mean , then , in
callsustain a physical contest with the aristocracy— " t ¦¦> spejk to the fears" of the latter , as 0 Conneil had unbiushtngly avowed . ThaJ aight be the object of sorue , perhaps of many , be h'jped not of all of them . But he could assure them that the next time the people did that , they would also do some business for themselves —they would assert and secure their own rights . The speaker then went on to enquire why he missed the wsrds "total and unconditional repeal" from the resjlution ? This most assuredly might , he said , be accidental bus it looked suspicious . Let the nueting beware , hs said , that this was not a cunning trick to mnke it an instrument for propping up the deomed Whirs . The Corn J > aw Repealers had said repeatedly thnt noihiug sLon of total repeal weuld satisfy , or ought to be accepted ; why did they not stick to that
now ? Was it btcause the ministry proposed a fixed duty ? Who were the ministry , ho asked ? What confidence could bo placed i . i any measure emanating from them in their present desperate dilemma ? None whatever . Lord 3 Melbourne and Russell , he S 3 : d . had declared it would be madness to repeal the Corn Liws : and thtn read the well-known extracts from Lord Melbourne ' s spefecbpa , in which he describes tbe struggle ^—the agitation of society to its foundation , and so forth , that the country would have to undergo , before these laws could be repealed . He faid he could quote similar pasiages from speeches by Lord John RusselL The ingenious application made by Mr . Williams of Lord Melbourne's remarks was—that if Lord Melbourne thought the straggle he had himself sanctioned to be now commenced , would have these consequences before the question could be iettltd , -why -were he 1 Mr . Williams ) and Mr . Bines , and many others , imprisoned for the little agitation they indulged in a year or two
ago ? Either Lords Melbourne ; : nd Russell muat be mad for proposing it , or Ui ^ y have wrongfully punished men for attempting to gain their cuds by the same means which they were now tVemseives sbaut to carry into operation . And if , he asked , as Mr . Binns had asked—if all these exertions were to bo made—these divisions to ba encountered—and tbxse agitations of the basrs of society to be undergone , and the people to be called on , as they had been , and would be , to aid in the work ; why should the people not , at the same time , and without a second struggle , demand their own rights—m * re particularly when Universal Suffrage wonld make it certain the Corn Laws could never be reenacted , nor the people be again subjected to tbe mercy of a bloody aristocracy . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Russell and Melbourne were no youngsters ; they were men of siature age . If , then , they were of sane minds two years ago , it was clear , from their own showing , that they must be mad now . Had . the national affairs , then , been in the hands of madmen , -who only now had received their sensed—or were we now , he asked , about to resign ourselves to the leadership of madmen or knaves ? One or the other they must be—if either , Lhey were unworthy of countenance or support If the " ormer , the lunatic asylum was their fitting place ; if ± 0 latter , they ought to bo committed as rogues and ragi \ bonds . ( Loud laughter , and cheers . ) If , said the ¦ peaiter , to carry Corn Law repeal requires that society ihoul'J be agitated to its foundations , that class should > 8 arrayed against class , and man against man ; if here is to be so much ill blood , that tbe peace of the country -srill be perilled , I ask the gentlemen on the ) latfonn , the men of property , the lovers of peace and » rder—the soeisty of Friends , many of whom he saw m the > latform , whether they as members of the Juiversal Peace Soeiety , were prepared to join ia a traggle , the appalling consequences of which Lord rlelbourne had so strongly depicted ? ( Hear , hear , and 10 , no . ) 2 Jo , no ! said ~ M * . Williams ; If it will not equire this , then Lord Melbourne would deceive usad yon can d& the bwiness qowtly without the people .

It would require it , and therefor * I ask , whether In that solemn crisis you would stand « r fall by the people ? Will you ( the middle classes ) abandon them as you have done before , or with tbe people brave the fury of the storm r But , he observed , if these classes identify their cause with oars , the straggle will be short and peaceable , and victory secure . I am here ( said he ) to offer you the terms of union , hs would that night sign their pethion , and bring them « 0 «« supporters , if they would then sign the document he held in his band , which was a petition for equal rights , and the liberation of imprisoned victims . Ho was proceeding to make some remarks , ia anticipation of tbe Chairman refusing to put the Chartist amendment , but Dr . Brown at once said he woald do bo ; and Mr . Williams then concluded a lengthened , and in many parts very adroitly managed address , amidst great cheering .
After a few words from Mr . Thompson , solicitor , in favoar of the Charter , and in condemnation of the interruption which tbe earlier speakers had received , 1 The Chairman took a show of hands on Messrs . Binns and Williams' amendment , which was carried by a very large majority . Thanks were voted to the chairman ; three cheers given , on the motion of Mr . Binns , ' for our leaders in gaol and out of gaol ; " and sundry groans for we did not watch what or whom—and the meeting then separated .

Time rolled on : iho old mother died , and left her children to tho protecting care of this tender-hearted profit-monger . No over-woTk was given to them : at length the younger lad remonstrated with his master , stating that his wages were insufficient , and requested to be allowed to vvork
over-hours . The master agreed , and furnished the boy wiih some brass locks to finish . The boy finished them ; but when pay-day camo , his master refused to pay him . The lad , finding that he had worked over-hours in vain , determined to absent himself the same number of hours which he had laboured for uothing , and remained at home . He received a summons from his master for neglect of work , which so terrified him that he told his cousin ' it would break his heart if he had to appear before a magistrate . " He went to his work , aud the summons was overlooked ; but , in consequence of a quarrel with hi ? master ' s son , it was put into force , and ha was ordered to appear ou the following Saturday . The lad attended the Public Office , and remained until half-past two o ' clock , when nobody
appearing against him , he was told by the officer or iho Court tnat he might go to his work . He had scarcely left the Court before his master made liis ; ij . pearacce . An officer was despatched in search of Steventon , who brought him handcuffed to the Public Office . When they arrived , the magistrate had left ; and the poor fellow waa locked up until Monday . He was visited on Suaday by some of his frienos , and he told th « m that he should never woik more , as he knew the treatment he had received would break his hi art . He was tried on Monday , and defended by Mr . George Edmonds : the magistrates dismissed the case , and the boy was discharged . He -wh . vt home , and died on the following Saturday ! ljut it is qui : e legal ! God help the poor !

BEDAIiEi—A most Horrid Mdrdeb , attempi to Murdir and Soicidk . —On Thursday afternoon , the 13 th inst ., this neighbourhood was thrown into the greatest consternation by the report of a dreadful murder at Newton House , the residence of Her Grace the Duchess of Cleveland . Inquests were held before Win . Dinsdale , Esq ., coroner , on Friday , on the bodies of Thomas Robinson , the elder , ( head gardener to the Duchess of Cleveland , at Newton House , ) and his son , Thomas Robinson . The facts are briefly these . Robinson for some years past has bern tho gardener at Newton House , with excellent wages , but by some means or other which cannot be accounted for , he has been much embarrassed in his pecuniary circumstances . This tb . 6 jury considered had so much excited him , as to drive him to desperation and insanity . On the afternoon of Thursday , he so far arranged his plans as to send the under gardeners into the pleasure grounds , at

some distance from the hot-houses . He then sent his eldest son , seventeen years of age , to work in the hot-house , to which , place he followed , and there in tne most brutal manner murdered him , by a blow or blows so as to fracture h « s skull , cutting his throat , and afterwards tying a rope round it to strangle him ; and in thia condition he was found . Robinson then proceeded to his cottage in the gardens , where he made an attack on his wife to murder her ; happily , however , by one of the younger children giving an alarm , his attention was diverted from his purpose , and the unfortunate woman escaped ; but lest he should be immediately detected before carrying his- intentions fully into effect , ( which were , no doubt , to murder the whole family , ) he shot himself ! The Rev . George Mason , Rector of Scrutdn , was the first who witnessed these dreadful scenes , and who corroborated the above account on his examination at the inquest . After an
examination of witnesses by the Coroner for the space of five hours , the Jury were clearly of opinion , that Robinson had murdered his unfortunate son in a state of insanity ; and they were further impressed that it arose from pecuniary embarrassments . They accordingly returned the following verdicts : — " We find Thomas Robinson , the elder , guilty of the wilful murder of his son , Thomas , being then in a state of insanity . We further find him guilty of shooting himself with a gun , in a state of insanity , which insanity , we believe , arose from pecuniary embarrassments . Duriug the inquisitions , the Rev . Richard Anderson , Vicar of the parish , the Rev . George Mason , Captain Peirse , Mr . H . R . Glaister , her Grace's solioitor , and Messrs . Buokie and Fothergill , the ' medical gentlemen of the housohold , were in attendance . We lament to state that the recovery of the poor unfortunate wife is almost hopeless . — Abridged from the York Courant .
BRADFORD . —Shocking and Fatal Accidekt . —An inquest was held on Monday , at the Star Inn , Westgate , Bradford , on the body of Ann Coop , who met her death in the following lamentable manner . On Sunday , Mr . Nathan Coop , flour dealer , Westgate , ( who had been a widower two months , ) and deceased , whose maiden wamo was Newell ( a mill girl aged thirty , ) started with some friends in a gig , or some such vehicle , for Tong , for the purpose of being married . After the ceremony they proceeded to Wakefield , and spent the day . On returning home down Bowling , the horse took fright and ran away ; when it came to tho Wheat She » f Bar , the horse ran against a post , and fora moment stopped , when Coop jumped out , but the horse started again , when the bride jumped out also , and alighted with her head against a lamp post . She was taken up senseless , and expired immediately after in a neighbouring house . The wife of her brother , who was in the vehicle , was flung out of the gig , and sustained such injuries , that at the time we are writing wo hear she is dead . Tho Jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death" on Mm . Coop .

P ., received on Wednesday last an official communication from the Home Office , for the release of Einanuel Hutton , ot Bradford , who for a length of time has been an inmate of the " sick room , " in Wakefield House of Correction , caused chiefly by want of proper exercise , and cruel treatment . Coal Informer . —A common informer , named
Wheater , on Wednesday lasr , preferred several informations against persons in the neighbourhood of Bradford , " for selling coals by measure , and not by weight , contrary to law . " However , the fellow was not entirely buccessful ; for , although Messrs . Foster and Lassey submitted to convictions in mitigated penalties , another case was dismissed for want of proof ; and , in a third , Mr . Clarkson appeared for John Sutclifie , of Allerton , and by legal ingenuity succeeded ' in extricating hia client from the fangs ot his merciless antagonist .

BOXtTON . — IxVDEPEJYDENT MiETHODISTS AND Chartism . —On Sunday last , an individual connected with the Independent Methodists of this town , and who has been engaged to procure signatures for the Anti-Corn Law Petition , gave notice that after the evening service , he would propose a petition in
favour of a Repeal of the Corn Laws , to the congregation for their adaption . This the Chartist members were determined to oppose , and procured a heading of tho National Petition for the Charter , release of prisoner ? , &c , and , at the appointed hour , when the Repealer brought forward his petition , the Chartists also produced theirs , to the no small astonishment of the Repealers . A regular discussion took place , and after an hour ' s debate , the National Petition was , on a division , carried by & large majority . More Falsehoods . —The Morning Chronicle of Friday last , contains an account 01 an Anti-Corn Law meoting , said to bo held in Bolton on the Monday previous . No meeting for such a purpose was
hold in this town on that day . A hole-and-corner meeting was held , convened by circular from the Mayor , for tho purpose of petitioning Parliament to adopt the prepositions of Ministers relative to the import duties , &c . There wero about fifty millowners , manufacturers , and shopkeepers present . The petition was nil but unanimously adopted—the Corn Law Repealers thus virtually and meanly abandoning total repeal , by praying for a fixed duty Tows Council * . —Tho qnarterly meeting of this body was hold ou Wednesday last , when a petition to Parliament , in favour of the propositions of Ministers relative to the import duties , was read and proposed for their adoption . It , of course , received the support of all those sham-free-traders , and would-be Corn Law repealers , or anything else . sooner than "let in the Tories "—those who regard no principle that does not quadrate with the support oi Ministers . However , the really honest
freetrade men in tho Council were determined to « how n ^ ht , and stick to principle . Mr . P . R . Arrowsmith paid " ho believed they were a . Jl for free tra-ie , " and proposed a resolution m which that principle would be recognised ; but this did not suit the Ministerialists — -the professing cheap-bread a'id total-repeal men . They said it would "embarrass Ministers ; " admitted that there was something inconsistent in "a total repealer applying for a fixed-duty ; " but that they would " merge their little differences to support Ministers , " at present , and look for moro afterwards . Mr . Arrowc < niith hoped the Council were not willing to make a compromise , and give up their principle . As to damaging the Ministry , that was nothing to them ; let them adhere to principle . He was supported by Messrs . J . Lomax , Tong , Liwson , Haslam , &c . On a division the resolution was lo ? 5 by a majority of two . This has caused the honest Corn La-. v repealers to reflect a little , and exclaim " How \ a this !"
